200: Chapter 195 Violating the Rules as Soon as You Enter

Gu Dao did not know what Ling Yuan was planning.

He had originally thought Ling Yuan wanted to directly divide the vacant spots of the Xiao Clan and Hun Clan, but he had not expected Ling Yuan to only borrow them temporarily, and even promised to return two spots for every one borrowed next time.

Gu Dao calculated in his heart that this deal seemed quite good.

It just so happened that among the geniuses of the Gu Clan here, the one ranked sixth had relatively average talent.

Lending his spot to the Ling Clan meant the Gu Clan would gain another spot twenty years later.

Gu Dao thought about it and felt this was feasible.

"Young Clan Leader Ling, the Gu Clan can lend you one spot."

Gu Dao added this reminder: "But all six of you in your party must abide by the agreement; you are forbidden from taking action to fight for energy bodies."

He was afraid that Ling Yuan would find a loophole, claiming that the borrowed spot was not subject to restrictions, and allow the two Four-Star Dou Sheng, Zi Yan and Medusa, to sweep through the Heavenly Tomb; how would others be able to play then?

Ling Yuan nodded very decisively in response: "That is only natural. None of us six will take action to fight for energy bodies. If this agreement is violated, all future Heavenly Tomb spots for the Ling Clan and the Shi Clan will be permanently transferred to the Gu Clan."

The experts and geniuses of the various clans present all witnessed this and the promise was established.

Gu Dao completely let down his guard, thinking that Ling Yuan would not be able to go back on his word.

With this, the dispute over the Heavenly Tomb spots was completely resolved, and the final distribution was settled.

Six from the Ling Clan, five from the Gu Clan, two each from the Yan Clan and the Medicine Clan, and one from the Lei Clan.

...

Deep within the Gu Sheng Mountain Range, the Forbidden Ground of the Gu Clan.

The group set off and followed Elder Tongxuan to this place, the location of the Heavenly Tomb entrance.

After arriving at the platform in the Forbidden Ground, Ling Yuan scanned the surrounding crowd but did not see Xiao Yan's figure.

Gu Xun'er's expression was also not very good, likely because Xiao Yan could not enter with her.

Gu Xun'er felt that the Heavenly Tomb was a good place that could allow Xiao Yan to improve rapidly.

But what she did not know was that if Xiao Yan were to enter the Heavenly Tomb, what he would face would be destruction...

Under the activation of Elder Tongxuan, a dull explosion suddenly resounded throughout the Void Realm, the space folds tore and expanded madly, a huge spatial rift slowly opened, and an ancient and heavy silver gate floated in mid-air, the entrance completely revealed.

Elder Tongxuan came out to explain the precautions for the Heavenly Tomb:

"Everyone, you should all understand the rules of the Heavenly Tomb. You can only stay inside the Heavenly Tomb for three years, and you will be automatically expelled when the time comes.

Inside, you will not receive any rescue, and you will be unable to send messages or receive help from anyone. Your life and safety depend entirely on your own judgment; act according to your own capabilities."

The Heavenly Tomb was created by the Dou Di of the Ancient Eight Clans in the past, so its rules are very complete, unlike the Demon Lightning Pool of the Lei Clan.

In the Demon Lightning Pool, the Lei Clan can observe the situation of the people inside at any time and has the authority to bring people out, but the Heavenly Tomb is different.

The Heavenly Tomb is completely sealed. No one outside will know what happens inside, and those inside must stay for the full three years before they can come out.

"The spots for entering the Heavenly Tomb have already been allocated. Everyone, enter the Heavenly Tomb as soon as possible!"

Ling Yuan had been waiting for a long time. Without any delay, he turned his head to look at the women, Zi Yan, Medusa, and Cao Ying, and spoke softly.

"Let's go, we are going in."

He condensed fine threads of Dou Qi at his fingertips, which gently wrapped around the wrists of the five women beside him.

This was to prevent them from being teleported to different locations upon entering the Heavenly Tomb.

There was no other way; there were too many women, and Ling Yuan only had two hands, so he could not pull them all.

After all preparations were made, the six of them passed through the giant gate first.

...

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, the entire space was filled with white mist, and the field of vision was hazy.

The space rippled with slight distortions, and with a flash of light and shadow, the six figures of Ling Yuan's group landed simultaneously, appearing steadily in this foggy space.

"So this is what it's like inside the Heavenly Tomb!"

Zi Yan looked up and scanned her surroundings, her eyes filled with curiosity as she observed the environment. Medusa, Cao Ying, and the other women also turned their heads to look around.

They did not come from the ancient Dou Di Clans, so they did not know much about the Heavenly Tomb.

Ling Yuan simply explained to the women: "The concentration of Heaven and Earth Qi here far exceeds that of the outside world. Even without hunting energy bodies or absorbing additional resources, just sitting here to Cultivate will result in a cultivation speed that is a cut above the outside. This is also the core reason why the younger generation of the eight great Dou Di Clans fight to the death for spots in the Heavenly Tomb."

"This is only the first level. The Qi in the depths of the third level will be even more concentrated, and that is our goal as well."

Just as he finished speaking, the space behind his side rippled with water-like distortions once again.

Zi Yan: "Someone has come in."

Two figures followed closely, breaking through the white mist and landing. It was the brother and sister, Yao Tian and Yao Ling.

Yao Tian saw the crowd in front clearly, his expression slightly surprised: "Brother Ling Yuan, I did not expect to run into you as soon as we came in."

Random teleportation, yet they were teleported to the same place; it was indeed a coincidence.

Ling Yuan nodded: "It is indeed a coincidence."

Yao Tian said politely: "Brother Ling Yuan, since you cannot take action, why not join us? If we encounter energy bodies, we can help solve them."

Ling Yuan shook his head and said: "Many thanks for the kind offer, Brother Yao Tian. We have other cultivation plans, so we will not be traveling together. If we encounter energy bodies on the road, we will take the initiative to go around and avoid them."

"Take care yourselves as well, see you later!"

After saying goodbye to Yao Tian, Ling Yuan confirmed the direction and took the women deeper inside.

There was an inexplicable pressure inside the Heavenly Tomb. Ordinary Dou Zun experts could not fly for long periods and all needed to travel on foot, which severely limited their speed.

However, Ling Yuan, Zi Yan, and Medusa were all in the Dou Sheng Realm, so this layer of pressure had almost no binding force on the three of them, and their travel speed was not affected.

They had not gone very far before Ling Yuan and the others encountered the first energy body.

It was a translucent humanoid shadow, faint in appearance, with relatively weak strength, only at the Nine-Star Dou Zong level.

Just when Yao Tian and Yao Ling thought Ling Yuan was going to avoid it, Ling Yuan's wrist moved slightly, and he flicked a strand of condensed Dou Qi from his fingertips. It tore through the air, swept past the white mist, and instantly struck this illusory energy body.

The shadow had no power to resist and collapsed and disintegrated upon impact, leaving behind a thumb-sized energy crystal core on the spot.

Ling Yuan raised his hand and grasped the crystal core into his palm. After feeling it with his fingertips, the energy inside the crystal core was quite pure, but unfortunately, it was too little, too little.

His expression remained as usual. In front of the Yao Tian siblings, he calmly put the energy crystal core into his storage ring, and then led the women to continue moving forward.

In the white mist behind them, Yao Tian and Yao Ling were frozen on the spot.

Yao Tian: ??

Yao Ling: ??

At this moment, both siblings felt a bit messy inside.

Is this what you meant by avoiding energy bodies when you encounter them?

Didn't you promise the Gu Clan you would not take action against energy bodies? If this is discovered by the Gu Clan, there won't be any Heavenly Tomb spots in the future!

Ling Yuan's figure disappeared. After a while, Yao Ling said: "Brother, didn't he say he would not take action?"

Yao Tian looked in the direction where Ling Yuan had left, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"There are only the two of us in this area, no one from other clans. Brother Ling Yuan did this on purpose; it is highly likely a test of our attitude. We will not mention today's incident and just pretend we never saw it..."

Yao Ling pondered for a moment and nodded gently in agreement.

"Okay."
