Chapter 306: The Heavenly Tomb Opens

Today is the day the Heavenly Tomb opens; Xiao Yan and the others have been waiting at the designated location for a long time, awaiting the opening of the Heavenly Tomb.

Since there was still some time to wait before the Heavenly Tomb opened, some of those who were acquainted began to converse.

"Brother Xiao Yan, defeating that Xiuluo Dutong back then was truly surprising!" a white-robed man with a flame mark on his forehead said with a chuckle.

Xiao Han, however, did not care at all and said modestly, "Brother Huo Xuan, you flatter me; it was merely luck."

Huo Xuan smiled and said nothing more; many things cannot be summed up by a single word like 'luck'.

Catching sight of Xiao Ding, who had been silent on the side, out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "May I ask... is Brother Xiao Ding heading to the Tomb Mansion of the Xiao Clan's ancestor this time?"

Xiao Ding said indifferently, "Brother Huo Xuan thinks too highly of me. I am merely going into the Heavenly Tomb to broaden my horizons. As for the Tomb Mansion where the ancestor resides, with my meager cultivation, I can only leave it to fate."

"Oh, is that so?" Huo Xuan was thoughtful.

If he truly believed the other party's nonsense, he, Huo Xuan, would likely not be the one leading the team this time.

Look at the Xiao Clan's lineup this time; those entering the Heavenly Tomb are the two biological sons of the Xiao Clan Clan Leader, and they even paid the price of the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade. If one were to say they are only here to broaden their horizons, who would believe it?

But since the other party was unwilling to say, Huo Xuan would not be so tactless as to get to the bottom of it.

In his view, of the two people sent by the Xiao Clan this time, although Xiao Yan is formidable—he estimated he was no match for him—

this person named Xiao Ding, despite being only a Six-Star Dou Zun and having average combat power, seemed somewhat unfathomable.

Huo Xuan shook his head, denying the thought: how could that be? One Xiao Yan is already considered the fortune of the Xiao Clan; how could this Xiao Ding also be so powerful!

Compared to the others' probing of the two newly joined members of the Xiao Clan, the only thought Hun Ya and Hun Li of the Soul Clan had was to leave them in the Heavenly Tomb forever.

"I would like to see, if the two geniuses the Xiao Clan exhausted all their efforts to cultivate are both buried in the Heavenly Tomb, what will the Xiao Clan do?" Hun Ya looked at the backs of Xiao Yan and the other, his tone grim.

Xiao Yan, who was whispering to Xun'er, suddenly felt a chill strike from behind. He turned his head and saw Hun Ya's chilling smile, and he was not to be outdone.

He smiled slightly and reached out to make a slicing gesture across his neck.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yan's provocation was fully received by Hun Ya, but since he could not make a move at this time, Hun Ya could only make a mental note for now.

………

Gazing at the thousand-foot crack in the sky and the hundred-foot portal extending from it, feeling the wild and ancient aura emanating from within, everyone could not help but become solemn.

"The Heavenly Tomb has opened!"

After Elder Tong Xuan reiterated the rules for entering the Heavenly Tomb, the representatives of various clans flew toward the portal one after another.

"Big Brother, are you really okay on your own?" Xiao Yan asked worriedly.

Although he knew Xiao Ding had his own trump cards and ordinary people could not hurt him, Xiao Yan still had to show the 'worry' that was expected.

Xiao Ding laughed and scolded, "Do you want your Big Brother to watch you and Xun'er flirting?"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's small face quickly flushed with a rosy glow, and she lowered her head, remaining silent.

Xiao Yan hurriedly said, "Then I shall go first!"

Before his voice had faded, Xiao Yan pulled Xun'er and leaped into the spatial portal.

Xiao Ding followed closely behind, flashing into it.

With the last group entering the Heavenly Tomb, the portal slowly closed.

"Elder, the Xiao Clan has also gotten involved this time. Can they reach that place?" someone asked.

Tong Xuan sighed, "Do not even think about Xiao Xuan's Tomb Mansion; let nature take its course!"

"Yes!"

………

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Ding appeared on a vast plain. The gray, misty space was filled with oppression, but Xiao Ding was pleasantly surprised to find that the heaven and earth energy here was quite dense.

"It truly lives up to its name as the Heavenly Tomb!" Xiao Ding said with pleasant surprise in his heart.

"Hmm!" Suddenly, Xiao Ding's gaze narrowed. He clenched his left hand into a fist and slammed it fiercely toward the space behind him...

Two minutes later, Xiao Ding looked at the bead-like object containing pure energy in his hand and muttered, "This should be the specialty of the Heavenly Tomb—the Energy Core, right?"

"Never mind, let me recover my cultivation first."

Immediately, Xiao Ding flashed and sped off into the distance.

On the other side, Xiao Yan and Xun'er were rapidly advancing toward the entrance to the second level.

On the way, Xun'er said with some concern, "Brother Xiao Yan, will Big Brother Xiao Ding be alright?"

"Pfft!" Xiao Yan laughed and patted Xun'er's little head, "Xun'er, don't worry; Big Brother's strength is much greater than mine! No one can hurt him!"

"But isn't he..." Xun'er was puzzled.

"A Six-Star Dou Zun, right?" Xiao Yan's smile made Xun'er realize something, and her expression changed.

"Could it be...?"

Xiao Yan shook his head without speaking, only saying, "Let's go early!"

"Mm!" Xun'er followed, completely bewildered.

………

Langya Pavilion.

Xiao Han stood on the top floor of the pavilion, gazing toward the direction of the Ancient Realm in the distance. Yi Huang slowly walked up from behind and stood side by side with Xiao Han.

"What is it, worried about those two boys from the Xiao Clan?" Yi Huang smiled.

Xiao Han shook his head, "Those two boys are not easy to deal with!"

Xiao Yan is one thing; after all, he is the Son of Fortune, the biological son of the Dou Qi Continent.

But Xiao Ding's performance is indeed surprising. However, his talent is not in cultivation or combat, but in things like schemes, which are almost ignored by the Dou Qi Continent.

Although there is a saying that one force can overcome ten techniques, Xiao Ding's current strength in the Heavenly Tomb is no different from others.

When both sides are evenly matched, Xiao Ding's schemes will become the enemy's death warrant.

Therefore, in Xiao Han's view, the former should live quite comfortably in the Heavenly Tomb.

"Then what are you worrying about for nothing?" Yi Huang said with annoyance.

Xiao Han said distressfully, "After the Ancestor of the Xiao clan returns, there will be more to be busy with!"

Clearly, he had only just broken through to Nine-Star Dou Sheng less than two years ago, and he still wanted to enjoy life!

"Hey!" Hearing this, Xiao Han turned around and saw the expressionless Yi Huang, with black mist faintly rising from behind her, making him tremble all over!

"It seems that refining bodies is all my job, isn't it?" Yi Huang said gloomily, "Tell me, what else do you have to do?"

Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Han, his thoughts racing in his mind, and finally, a bright idea struck him, and he revealed a wicked smile, "There are plenty of things!"

"For example..." Yi Huang asked.

"For example..." Xiao Han drew out the tone, slowly approached Yi Huang, and then suddenly moved, "Creating a little life!"

Yi Huang was stunned at first, and after she understood the meaning, a rosy flush flew across her face, steam rose above her head, and she snapped, "You...!"

"Ah!"

Xiao Han immediately picked Yi Huang up by the waist, and the latter subconsciously hugged Xiao Han's neck tightly.

Yi Huang: "Let go, you bastard!"

Xiao Han: "But it's you who is holding on tight and won't let go!"

"It's you!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's me! Now it's useless even if you scream your throat out!"

"........."

The sound of Xiao Han and Yi Huang's argument gradually faded into the distance.
