Chapter 1270 Gu Yuan's Plan
While Lin Feng was desperately searching for medicinal herbs everywhere, in the deep mountains of the ancient clan, figures were floating in the air. At this moment, their eyes were all looking towards the space above the mountains, and their expressions were somewhat complicated.
There were the elders of their ancient clan elder council, as well as their clan leader and the descendant of the Xiao clan, Xiao Yan.
They didn't know why their family head and a group of elders would politely invite Xiao Yan, who was only a three-star Douluo, and come to the outside of this Heavenly Tomb.
However, everyone vaguely realized that this matter might not be that simple!
However, for some reason, their eldest daughter did not come today for the first time.
"Xiao Yan, the Heavenly Tomb opens once every twenty years. You have already entered it a few years ago. If we calculate the time, it will still be a long time before it opens naturally."
At the top of the mountain, Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient tribe, who was about forty years old and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man in linen clothes, put his hands behind his back and smiled.
After the voice fell, his eyes immediately shifted from the space not far away, looking at Xiao Yan beside him and said: "However, I will forcibly tear a crack in the sky tomb so that you can enter it."
"But you must remember not to stay in the Heavenly Tomb for more than a year. Once you succeed in advancing, remember to leave immediately. Otherwise, you will be rejected by the Heavenly Tomb and forcibly teleported out, or you will be left there forever like those energy bodies like Xiao Xuan!"
"The junior will keep this in mind, but I will have to trouble Uncle Gu to help."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately nodded and responded with an extremely excited expression.
He was not too worried about time. After all, if it really didn't work, he could absorb a part of it first, and then take out the soul essence to absorb.
As long as the control of the Heavenly Tomb is not obtained, he believes that the old guys of the Ancient Clan will not dare to act rashly.
After all, if the soul essence is absorbed by multiple people, it is hard to say who will have the control of the Heavenly Tomb in the end.
It would be fine if it fell on someone from the ancient clan, but if it fell on him, then the ancient clan would really be empty-handed.
Without a son-in-law with an imperial soul, he would also lose control of the Heavenly Tomb.
When the other elders heard Xiao Yan's words, one of them stood up with a smile and rubbed his hands, saying: "Xiao Yan, remember the agreement between us. We don't care about the soul of the Sky Tomb, but the control of the Sky Tomb must be given to us in the future."
"Of course, we won't take things for nothing. If anyone dares to hinder your marriage with the young lady, we old men will definitely stand firmly on your side!"
Before the former finished speaking, another elder of the Ancient Clan stepped forward and said, "That's right, Xiao Yan, don't worry. As long as you can advance to the Emperor Realm Soul and hand over the control of this Heavenly Tomb to our Ancient Clan, I will see who dares to stop your marriage with the young lady!"
"Yes, I support you too."
"And us, Xiao Yan, don't worry, we will definitely support you when the time comes."
As the elder in front mentioned the control of the Heavenly Tomb, greed suddenly emerged uncontrollably on the faces of those elders of the ancient clans.
The Heavenly Tomb is a top-level treasure that can affect the flow of time. Which force or family would not want it?
After all, as long as they could control the Heavenly Tomb, even if they could allow their younger generations to enter once every five to ten years, the cumulative speed of their younger generations' cultivation would be able to far surpass that of their peers.
This is a miraculous treasure that can allow the younger generations to have five times more time for cultivation.
The importance of a family or power is self-evident.
Moreover, there are energy bodies inside this Heavenly Tomb. After the younger generations enter, the controller of the Heavenly Tomb can help them obtain a large amount of energy cores to accelerate their cultivation.
By then, it won't just be as simple as giving you five times more time to practice.
It is even possible that after a period of time, this Heavenly Tomb could produce another Heavenly Tomb Soul to help the people of their ancient clan advance to the Emperor Realm Soul!
Thinking of this, the breathing of those ancient clan elders couldn't help but become heavy.
Compared with the emperor soul, what they value more is naturally the heavenly tomb itself, which was refined by the ancient Doudi powerful man using the power to the sky.
After all, as long as they have this thing, they can basically mass-produce powerful Dou Sheng warriors continuously.
Well, we can't say that we can mass produce it, but if the number of Dousheng masters can be increased by a few percent, then there will definitely be no problem.
Of course, at the beginning they were preparing for both the chance for the Emperor's soul to advance and the control of the Heavenly Tomb.
But unfortunately, the one from the Xiao family was inside, and the patriarch, the strongest person in their clan, seemed unable to sense the power of the soul of that tomb.
Therefore, they had no choice but to reluctantly give up the opportunity to advance to the Emperor Realm Soul to Xiao Yan.
"These old guys are so shameless. The biggest obstacle to my marriage with Xun'er is you guys!"
Seeing the shameless looks of these old men, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel disgusted.
But thinking that the other party was a member of Xun'er's clan, he could only force a stiff smile and said: "Then I, the junior, would like to thank all the seniors here first."
"Xiao Yan, do you need me to send an elder to accompany you in?"
After seeing the conversation between Xiao Yan and his elders, Gu Yuan was silent for a long time, and then asked again.
"No, no, no, clan leader, with Xiao Yan's current strength, I'm afraid no one in the tomb that day could hurt him except their own ancestor Xiao Xuan. So let's forget about accompanying him."
Upon hearing that their clan leader was going to send an elder to accompany Xiao Yan in, the ancient clan elders' faces immediately turned green and they quickly waved their hands.
"Yes, clan leader, let's not waste time. Please tear open the Heavenly Tomb immediately and send little friend Xiao Yan in."
"That's right, clan leader, we'd better act quickly, so that little friend Xiao Yan won't have to wait any longer."
When they heard that one of them would be designated to enter the Heavenly Tomb to meet Xiao Xuan, they were all terrified and quickly urged the head of the family to let Xiao Yan go in quickly.
After all, many of them were the ones who participated in the annexation of the Xiao clan and the hunting down of the remaining powerful members of the Xiao clan to seize the inheritance.
You know, what they did was more sinister than that of the Soul Clan. Now, if they are asked to go to the Heavenly Tomb to meet Xiao Xuan, how dare they do that!
"Then let's follow what the elders said. Xiao Yan, let's get started."
Seeing that each elder was more afraid than the other to enter the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Yuan was helpless and didn't say anything more.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the energy between heaven and earth suddenly roared and moved with his movements. Faintly, the sound of rushing waves could be heard.
Following the former's action, under Xiao Yan's shocked gaze, the empty space in front of him suddenly fluctuated violently.
The next moment, the dark crack was slowly forced out by a huge force.
As soon as the crack appeared, an extremely ancient and wild smell slowly spread out.
"Xiao Yan, go quickly and come back quickly!"
Looking at the torn space crack, Gu Yuan shouted in a deep voice with a serious expression.
After all, tearing the Heavenly Tomb apart would be a huge drain on him, and he would not be able to sustain it for long.
"Ah."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded firmly and quickly. He did not dare to delay any longer and immediately moved. Under everyone's gaze, he turned into a stream of light and plunged directly into the crack until he disappeared.
"I promised to help my teacher fulfill his wish in this pharmacopoeia, and all the hopes fall on my ancestor. I hope his hometown can help me elevate my soul to the legendary emperor realm, and improve my strength by the way. After all, it is difficult to refine the ninth-grade Xuandan without a five-star Dou Sheng!"
Thinking of the possible participants of this pharmacopoeia and old man Shennong's superb alchemy skills, Xiao Yan's eyes could not help but flash with extremely solemn emotions.
Different from the original novel, the current Xiao Yan has seen old man Shennong refining pills.
Even he had to admit defeat to the other party's superb alchemy skills.
After all, old man Shennong has been studying the art of alchemy for thousands of years, which is certainly not something a young man like him can compare to.
Xiao Yan couldn't even match half of his opponent's strength.
Therefore, he had to find another way and go the route of crushing with soul power and strange fire.
After all, he has the help of Xiao San, the strange fire spirit, and when refining medicine, he can undoubtedly make up for many shortcomings in alchemy techniques.
Because when it comes to controlling fire, even old man Shennong, who has been playing with the Flame of Life for thousands of years, is still no match for the Fire Spirit of the strange fire!
Of course, what Xiao Yan didn't know was that in the original novel, he relied on the crushing of the strange fire, plus the help of others, to finally win the reputation of the continent's number one alchemist.
"I hope that kid can really bring out the control of the Heavenly Tomb. After all, as long as we have that thing, our Ancient Clan might be able to quickly push Xun'er to my level. By then, our Ancient Clan will have two peak Dou Shengs. Even if the Soul Clan and other ancient races unite, we will not be afraid at all. We can firmly sit on the top of the continent and even destroy the Soul Clan, completely removing the obstacles for our Ancient Clan to dominate the Dou Qi Continent alone!"
Seeing Xiao Yan disappear in the space crack, Gu Yuan swept his palm across the void, and the crack slowly dissipated. Then an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, it's not just Emperor Hun Tian who is greedy for the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade.
How could Gu Yuan, one of the only two top Dou Shengs in the Douqi Continent, not want to break through that barrier and step into the legendary realm that has disappeared for tens of thousands of years!
But unfortunately, the overall strength of their ancient clan was not enough to destroy the other seven families one by one and collect the eight pieces of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade to open the Ancient Emperor Cave.
Therefore, Gu Yuan could only choose to remain indifferent when the Soul Clan began to exterminate the Spirit and Stone Clans.
But in fact, he was planning to let the Soul Clan offend the other major families, and then he would come out and play the good guy, using this as an excuse to unite the other remaining families, defeat the Soul Clan in one fell swoop, and monopolize the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.
Otherwise, do you really think that Gu Yuan has a stupid brain and only knows how to stay idle every day? The Spirit Tribe and the Stone Tribe have been destroyed, but you still don't know who the murderer is?
After all, there are only two top Dou Shengs in this Dou Qi Continent. Do you really think he doesn't know that they were the two clans destroyed by the Soul Clan?
However, he was also very unwilling to give up, and wanted to obtain the young elixir in the ancient emperor's cave, so as to try to break through the legendary realm.
Otherwise, he would not have deliberately let Emperor Hun in when the Soul Clan besieged the Xiao Clan. Did he really think that an eight-star Dou Sheng-level Void Devouring Flame could hold him and the top forces of the entire ancient clan there?
Not counting the others, there was only one top Fighting Saint, plus the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan and King Hei Nie who had not yet broken through, a total of four seven-star top Fighting Saints. These five people could easily make the eight-star Fighting Saint-level Void Devouring Flame call them daddy, right?
Not to mention that Void Devouring Flame hadn’t broken through to the nine stars at that time. Even if Void Devouring Flame, who is now a nine-star early stage Douluo, came over, he would still have to kneel on the ground and sing “Conquer!”
And it was precisely because of this that Gu Yuan deliberately won over the Yan Clan and squeezed out the Lei Clan.
After all, because of what Xiao Yan did before, Gu Yuan had offended the Thunder Clan to death.
