370: Chapter 370 Shocking the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb! The Power of the Great Thousand Worlds
"Good!" A trace of complexity appeared in Gu Yuan's eyes.
He knew that with Xiao Xuan's strength, he shouldn't have completely perished after entering the Heavenly Tomb.
However, the Hun Clan had struck fast, hard, and accurately back then. Apart from the portion of resources the Xiao Clan had entrusted to Old Ancestor Fenyan for safekeeping, most had been seized by the Hun Clan, so there shouldn't have been much left.
But upon seeing Xiao Yan, he realized that his old friend's methods had still exceeded his expectations.
Half a year in the outside world, three years in the Heavenly Tomb; he had allowed an eight-star Peak Dou Zun to become a Peak nine-turn Dou Zun, with a very stable Realm, and even obtained the golden Xiao Clan clan mark.
"Brother Xiao Yan." Gu Han's Soul form appeared before Xiao Yan, silent and soundless.
Xiao Yan, whose strength had skyrocketed, felt his Soul tremble, and a chill welled up from deep within.
He had thought that with this surge in strength, he would at least be able to catch up to Gu Han's pace slightly.
But having not seen him for "three years," he found he could see through Gu Han even less.
In fact, there was even a feeling about him that was the same as the Old Ancestor.
"Brother Gu Han." Xiao Yan cupped his fists in return. "The Old Ancestor asked me to thank you on his behalf."
Xiao Yan told Xiao Xuan everything about the situation of the Xiao Family and the process of his own rise.
Upon learning that before Xiao Yan's rise, the strongest person in the Xiao Family was only a Great Dou Master, Xiao Xuan could not maintain his composure.
Indeed, he had handed half of the Xiao Clan's resources to Old Ancestor Fenyan, intending to support Xiao Chen's rise if he were found.
Indeed, the remaining majority of the Xiao Clan's resources must have been taken by the Hun Clan; the Gu Clan could not have obtained much.
And it was also true that the Gu Clan was the Gu Clan, and the Xiao Clan was the Xiao Clan; an Alliance did not mean becoming a dog.
However, the Gu Clan had after all gained many benefits, and Gu Yuan was his close friend.
Not to mention continuing to have Dou Sheng experts stationed there.
At the very least, cultivating a Dou Zun would only require a wave of the hand, right?
If they were afraid that a Dou Zun would be targeted and schemed against by the Hun Clan, then having a Dou Zong to look after them and lord over a remote area would also be fine, right?
If that really wouldn't work, take the Jia Ma Empire that Xiao Yan mentioned, where only half of the so-called top ten experts were Dou Huangs.
Then cultivating a Dou Huang for the Xiao Family to act as a local tyrant in the Jia Ma Empire would also have worked.
A Great Dou Master...
If not for the fact that Xiao Yan said the Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was still there, Xiao Xuan wouldn't have known what to say.
And Gu Han, who had played an important role in Xiao Yan's rise and whom Xiao Xuan felt had talent even surpassing his own, was simply the polar opposite of the Gu Clan's performance.
The opportunity for Xiao Yan to enter the Heavenly Tomb to inherit the Xiao Clan's Bloodline and have his strength skyrocket could be said to be entirely due to Gu Han.
"Senior Xiao Xuan is too polite." A faint, almost imperceptible curve appeared on the corner of Gu Han's mouth. "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with him. Brother Xiao Yan, you may accompany me."
"Hmm. Huh?!" Xiao Yan nodded subconsciously, then immediately wore a puzzled expression. "After the Heavenly Tomb opens, isn't it impossible to open it again?"
"Under normal circumstances, that is the case, but in the face of sufficient strength, so-called rules do not need to be followed." Gu Han stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowing as he looked ahead.
The next moment, a surging force of Soul Power swept out, and a terrifying power condensed upon the gate of the Heavenly Tomb, turning into a layer of crystal-clear, dazzling ice.
The gate, which was originally closing, stopped directly. A terrifying force surged from the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, wanting to forcibly close the gate.
"Scram!" Gu Han's eyes turned cold. "You squatter, if you don't want to die, then crawl into your hole. Otherwise, I will cooperate with Xiao Xuan and wipe out your intelligence."
As his voice fell, a Soul Power far exceeding that of a normal Emperor Realm surged out and went straight into the Heavenly Tomb.
Rumble!
The terrifying Soul Power mobilized the energy of heaven and earth, creating a strange influence within the Heavenly Tomb.
Deep within the Heavenly Tomb, the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb was furious, but that Soul Power, which had reached the Emperor Realm, put it in a very passive position.
Especially the threat of Gu Han saying he would cooperate with Xiao Xuan, which caused a sense of fear to rise in its heart.
"Junior, the Heavenly Tomb has the rules of the Heavenly Tomb!" The Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb spoke up.
"The rules of the Heavenly Tomb?" Gu Han chuckled. "The rules of the Heavenly Tomb are meant to give the heroic spirits of heaven and earth a glimmer of hope."
"Even if the current master of the Heavenly Tomb has fallen, it is still to give the strong a glimmer of hope."
"You are merely a petty thief who has stolen authority, yet you dare to speak of rules."
"I do not wish to say the same thing a second time. Get back into your hole, otherwise you will die today!"
While speaking, a strange fluctuation appeared within Gu Han's Soul.
That was a power reaching the Supreme level, a power of transcendence different from that of the Lower Plane.
The entire Heavenly Tomb seemed to have some sort of sensing, and it actually began to tremble!
"How is that possible!?" The Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb let out a shriek. "You actually possess the power of the Great Thousand World, how is that possible!?"
This sentence caused the expressions of many people on the scene to change slightly.
The power of the Great Thousand World... what is that!?
Gu Han, however, couldn't be bothered to pay attention and raised his hand to directly open a space channel.
"Let's go!" Gu Han stepped in first.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan also followed in, with Gu Yuan and Gu Lie close behind.
At the same time, a voice sounded in the ears of Xun'er and Xiang Qingyue: "Crush the jade pendant I gave you, and you can teleport to my main body in the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm. I have prepared a gift for you there."
Xiang Qingyue and Xun'er looked at each other and obediently took out the jade pendants and crushed them.
On the other side, the four of them, led by Gu Han, went straight into the depths of the Heavenly Tomb and arrived before a special tombstone.
Gu Han did not enter it, but instead raised his hand to summon the Yin Yang Twin Flames, and said, "Senior Xiao Xuan, please appear."
A space vortex appeared above the tombstone, and Xiao Xuan, dressed in a black robe, walked out from it. His gaze fell upon the Yin Yang Twin Flames. "I truly didn't expect to have another chance to see this old friend."
The Yin Yang Twin Flames that Gu Han summoned were not the ones he himself had subdued and cultivated, but rather one of the three Heavenly Flames that Xiao Yan had subdued back then; among them, apart from the Mysterious Yellow Flame, there were also the Yin Yang Twin Flames.
"Senior, these Yin Yang Twin Flames still contain your imprint. I have added a bit of special power to them; you can temporarily reside within them," Gu Han said.
Xiao Xuan with and without a physical body were two different levels of combat power.
Burning himself to deal with the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb was not as effective as controlling a Heavenly Flame body.
Xiao Xuan gave Gu Han a deep look, and without a word, merged into the Yin Yang Twin Flames, and then manifested his own body once again.
This time, he gave people a greater sense of reality, and that feeling of a Supreme being standing shoulder-to-shoulder with heaven and earth was even more real.
"Many thanks, young friend, for taking care of the younger generation of my clan."
"Brother Gu Yuan, long time no see."
Xiao Xuan raised his hand and cupped his fists.
Towards Gu Yuan, he held no hatred, but there was also no longer any affection.
The Gu Clan did not owe him, nor did they owe the Xiao Clan anything, and they were certainly not vassals.
But given his relationship with Gu Yuan, and the help he had once given Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan had been too heartless towards the Xiao Clan.
Since that was the case, there was no need to remain friends as they once were.
"Brother Xiao Xuan." Gu Yuan's eyes were complex.
He felt a sense of indebtedness in his heart, but he did not feel he had done anything wrong.
At the end of the day, he was simply choosing the interests of the Gu Clan and had completely disregarded the Xiao Clan.
No one could blame him, but the friend that was Xiao Xuan was definitely gone!
Gu Han had no interest in the grievances between the two, nor did he want to comment on the relationship between the two clans. He spoke directly: "Senior Xiao Xuan, I have come here to cooperate with you."
"Xiao Yan's strength is still too weak. You also hope for him to break through to Dou Sheng and possess an Emperor Realm Soul, right?"
Xiao Yan: !!!
