Chapter 538 Entering the Heavenly Tomb
In the following time, the meeting has been centered around how to attack the Soul Clan, as well as the issue of troop allocation during the attack.
Xiao Ming did not discuss these things much. Whenever someone mentioned the Heavenly Court, he just chuckled and nodded.
At the critical moment of life and death, Gu Yuan and others did not have any bad intentions because Xiao Ming looked easy to talk to.
In fact, there was no bad intention to play, because the plan was very simple, just to find a time, take advantage of the Soul Clan's unpreparedness, and gather all forces to attack the Soul Realm.
Although this will inevitably cause heavy losses, it is concise and clear enough, and there are fewer arguments.
In fact, at this stage, even if the three clans want to use any strategy, it will be difficult to work.
It is useless against a strong man like the Soul Emperor, and it is not worth wasting so much time on others.
The real collision of strength is the real thing.
In this way, the meeting came to an end, and Gu Yuan began to summarize.
"Now according to the plan, please quickly recruit people. After half a month, the army will unite and must wipe out the Soul Clan!"
"Good!" The crowd was excited.
After a little quiet, Xiao Ming slowly stood up, bowed to Gu Yuan, and said.
"Chief Gu, I heard that my Xiao clan's ancestor Xiao Xuan was buried in the Heavenly Tomb. Since the matter of attacking the Soul Clan has been discussed, I wonder if I can go to pay my respects."
As soon as the word Xiao Xuan came out, Yan Jin and Lei Ying and others in the hall trembled. That name, even after thousands of years, still made them remember it deeply. That person was the only one who almost forced Emperor Hun Tian into a dead end in all these years!
"This..."
At the main seat, Gu Yuan was obviously a little hesitant when he heard this request.
"The Xiao clan is also one of the eight ancient clans, so you are naturally qualified to enter the Heavenly Tomb, but the Heavenly Tomb opens once every twenty years. If you count the time, it will take more than two years before it opens naturally."
As he said, Gu Yuan seemed to feel that it was not good to refuse Xiao Ming just after discussing how to attack the Soul Clan together. After pondering for a moment, he sighed.
"Forget it, I will forcefully tear open the cracks in the Heavenly Tomb and let you enter, but you must remember not to stay in the Heavenly Tomb for too long, otherwise it will cause rejection from the Heavenly Tomb."
"Thank you, Chief Gu."
Xiao Ming nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and he did not plan to stay in the Heavenly Tomb for long.
"This is your first time entering it, do you need someone to accompany you?" Gu Yuan asked, but his head turned to Gu Xun'er.
Xiao Ming smiled and shook his head. With his current strength, even if he took the wrong path, it would not matter. In the Heavenly Tomb, no one could hurt him. He could be said to be rampant, so why would he need someone to accompany him.
Seeing Xiao Ming's insistence, Gu Yuan said no more, nodded to Yan Jin and Lei Ying, and then waved his hand.
Xiao Ming and his figure disappeared in the hall.
...
In the deep mountains of the Gu clan, two figures were suspended in the air. Their eyes were looking at the space above the mountains, as if they saw through the space and saw the figure that once dominated the world in Zhongzhou.
The energy between heaven and earth suddenly roared, and the sound of waves came out faintly. Then, the empty space suddenly fluctuated violently, and a dark crack was slowly torn open. In the crack, there was an extremely ancient and wild smell.
Gu Yuan's face was a little complicated. He looked at Xiao Ming, who was young and achieved extraordinary success. He remembered that Xiao Xuan was also so high-spirited back then, but it was a pity...
With a sigh in his heart, Gu Yuan said:
"This is where the Heavenly Tomb is located. Back then, I snatched Xiao Xuan's body back from the hands of the Soul Clan and sent it in person. His soul has not completely disappeared."
"However, Xiao Xuan in the Heavenly Tomb is, in a sense, just a remnant soul. Because of the peculiarity of the Heavenly Tomb, it has just taken shape and possesses extremely powerful power. If it can be resurrected... forget it, it's probably not very likely."
Gu Yuan shook his head. If Xiao Xuan could really be resurrected, it wouldn't be so difficult to deal with the Soul Clan.
"Resurrection?" Xiao Ming looked at the space, and he thought of the only imperial pill recipe in his hand.
Resurrection is not impossible, but the imperial pill is not so easy to refine.
There is no need to tell Gu Yuan about these.
Seeing Xiao Ming silent, Gu Yuan said no more. With a wave of his hand, the energy between heaven and earth suddenly roared, and the sound of waves came faintly. Then, the empty space suddenly fluctuated violently, and a dark crack was slowly torn open. In the crack, there was an extremely ancient and wild smell.
"Xiao Ming, go quickly and come back quickly!"
Looking at the space crack being torn, Gu Yuan also shouted in a deep voice.
"Well." Xiao Ming nodded, without too much delay, his body moved, and he turned into a stream of light, directly thrown into the crack, and disappeared.
Seeing Xiao Ming disappear in the space crack, Gu Yuan's palm swept across the void, and the crack also slowly dissipated.
…
The Heavenly Tomb, a hazy mist enveloped this space, loneliness and silence seemed to be the only theme of this world.
The hazy space suddenly twisted, and a figure emerged in the air. He glanced at the surrounding environment, and then the vast soul power spread directly. Then he stepped on the ground and turned into a ray of light, quickly sweeping towards the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb.
The Heavenly Tomb Gale, which was quite dangerous for the younger generations of the Eight Clans, did not stop him at all.
Xiao Ming's arrogant behavior naturally attracted the attention of many energy bodies in the Heavenly Tomb.
Before they could act, Xiao Ming disappeared in front of them at a very fast speed, making them scream in anger.
However, only those energy bodies with little spiritual intelligence preserved in the first and second layers would be like this.
If the energy bodies with relatively complete spiritual intelligence met Xiao Ming, they would wish to bury themselves in the soil, for fear that they would be stared at by the terrifying existence that suddenly appeared in front of them.
It's just that some unlucky people will face what they fear the more they fear.
The Blood Sword Saint is such an unlucky person.
In a rocky area deep in the Heavenly Tomb, a figure in blood-colored armor was lying on the ground, covered in dust. Beside him, a blood-smelling blood knife was broken into two pieces.
And around him, a circle of nine-star energy bodies were lying in a mess.
Looking at the miserable state of himself and his men, the Blood Knife Saint realized it, and quickly got up and ran to Xiao Ming, who slapped them down, and said attentively:
"I guess you have something to do with Xiao Dao? Don't worry, Xiao Dao will take care of all these things, okay?"
Xiao Ming looked at the Blood Knife Saint who was proficient in the way of survival and smiled.
"You don't need to worry, I won't eat you."
Hearing this, the Blood Knife Saint laughed dryly, thinking that your performance of beating us without saying a word just now was not convincing.
Of course, on the surface, the Blood Knife Saint smiled more attentively.
"I am here to pay homage to my ancestor Xiao Xuan. You should know where his tombstone is. Lead me there."
"Are you from the Xiao clan? Aren't all the people from the Xiao clan extinct..."
The Blood Sword Saint was a little surprised when he heard this. He couldn't help but mutter. While he was talking, his eyes could not help but sweep towards the depths of the Heavenly Tomb. A deep fear flashed across his eyes.
"Hmm?" Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Ahem, sir, I mean this. I will take you there."
The Blood Sword Ancestor came back to his senses and knew that he had said the wrong thing. He hurriedly smiled.
He regretted his quick words. He thought that there was no need for a strong man to lower his status to lie to him. What if others were unhappy with his nonsense and attacked him?
What made the Blood Sword Saint feel at ease was that Xiao Ming did not hold him responsible.
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"
"Oh, okay, you are the descendant of Master Xiao Xuan, it will save a lot of trouble later."
The Blood Knife Saint smiled apologetically, then quickly floated his body and flew towards the depths, and behind him, Xiao Ming quickly followed.
In the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, there are many powerful energy bodies, some of which are even able to rival the Dou Sheng strongmen. When Xiao Ming stepped into the depths, these beings also felt something, but when they tried to gather around to share the blood and flesh, they were frightened by the light words of the Blood Knife Saint and fled in a hurry.
"He is the descendant of Master Xiao Xuan..."
The light words shocked those energy bodies that were equivalent to the overlord level in the Heavenly Tomb. They turned around and ran away faster than anything else. As old monsters who have lived in the Heavenly Tomb for many years, they all know very well who is the master of this Heavenly Tomb.
Xiao Ming felt it was a pity. The essence of the Dou Sheng energy body is also a rare treasure. If it was delivered to his door, he would not mind accepting it. If he runs away now, there is no need to chase him.
Under the guidance of the Blood Knife Saint, Xiao Ming walked to the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb almost unimpeded, and on that desolate plain, he also saw an ancient tombstone...
"Sir, I will take my leave first."
When there was still a thousand feet away from the tombstone, the Blood Knife Saint did not dare to step forward, and said something to Xiao Ming, then he bent his body and slowly retreated, his face was filled with awe from beginning to end.
This was not because of Xiao Ming, but because of the tombstone.
Looking at the tombstone in the distance, Xiao Ming couldn't help but sigh. This ancestor of the Xiao clan was indeed a great man. Not only was he a powerful figure during his lifetime, even if he was only a remnant soul now, he was still a ghost hero.
"Okay, you can leave."
