Chapter 1366: The Final Training
"There are still around five days left before three years is up... this Heavenly Tomb trip will come to an end." Xun Er by the side smiled and spoke as she studied the expression of contemplation on Xiao Yan's face.
Xiao Yan could not resist sighing softly when he heard this. He did not expect three years to pass in the blink of an eye. Although only half a year had passed in the outside world, they had trained bitterly for three years...
Although the training was bitter and dull, it was fortunate that its effects were unexpectedly good. Xiao Yan had only just advanced to a six star Dou Zun after entering the Heavenly Tomb back then. However, he had reached the peak of an eight star Dou Zun. Adding his many techniques and the clan tattoo, he would be able to fight even a nine star elite Dou Zun. The three years had allowed Xiao Yan to experience a drastic transformation.
"Ha ha, it is also time to leave. Time really flies..."
Xiao Xuan by the side also laughed. His voice contained a faint sadness. The Heavenly Tomb might enable him to live in another form, but it also left him with an endless loneliness. He was like a criminal trapped in a world void of liveliness.
"Ancestor... will you still continue to exist in this manner in the future?" Xiao Yan was silent for a moment before inquiring.
Xiao Xuan softly sighed. He nodded and replied, "This is the price for surviving in another form. We cannot leave the Heavenly Tomb. Once we step out of here, we will instantly vanish. Hence, we can only survive in this world in this manner and endure the loneliness..."
Hearing the faint desolation in Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yan's heart felt extremely terrible. Xiao Yan and Xun Er had only stayed in this place for three years, and they found that it was difficult to stay longer, yet Xiao Xuan had been stuck in this place for hundreds or even thousands of times longer than them...
"Is there any other way for you to be revived?" Xiao Yan slowly asked.
"Ha ha, I am aware that you are an alchemist... some high tier medicinal pills can indeed revive a person on the brink of death. However, I am a soul that died a countless of years ago. Moreover, this soul is incomplete..." Xiao Xuan smiled and appeared quite open-minded. He patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said, " Little fellow, if you feel terrible in your heart, you should try your best to breakthrough to the Dou Di class. If you can reach that level, you might think of a way to help me escape. However, it is pointless for the current you to think about..."
"The reason that I have endured the loneliness and remained here is not because I wish to be revived. Instead, I had hoped to be able to pass down the bloodline strength of the Xiao clan. I did not want the bloodline strength of the Xiao clan to be buried in this dark Heavenly Tomb with me."
Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath of air and suppressed the churning emotions in his heart. He was aware that what Xiao Xuan was saying was true. Even if Xiao Yan really possessed a method to free him, he did not possess the ability to do so...
"Ancestor please rest assured. I will definitely return to the Heavenly Tomb again. However, I will have broken through to the Dou Sheng class the next time I return!" Xiao Yan replied in a deep voice. Although it would be extremely difficult to reach the Dou Sheng class, he would do his best no matter what![a][b][c]
Xiao Xuan smiled in a pleased manner as he studied Xiao Yan's grave face. He suddenly beckoned with his hand, and Xiao Yan's Storage Ring shook. A palm-sized light cluster drifted out and stopped in front of Xiao Xuan.
"This is?"
Xiao Yan was slightly startled when he saw the thing that floated out. He could see a fist-sized piece of jade suspended in the light cluster. A mysterious aura was vaguely emitted from it...
