838. Heavenly Tomb Level 3
The entrance light curtain to the third level of the Heavenly Tomb rippled slightly, like the surface of water tossed with a pebble. Xiao Yan stepped out from it, his feet landing back on the ground.
Upon entering the third level of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
What's familiar is that the scene is still desolate, with insufficient light, giving an overall sense of vastness. What's unfamiliar is that the amount of fighting spirit in the third level of the Heavenly Tomb is a level higher than that in the second level.
Just as he had adapted to the change in environment, a dark figure suddenly appeared like a venomous snake that had been lurking for a long time. The energy entity seemed to have already sensed Xiao Yan's arrival through the perception of Dou Qi, and with a whooshing sound, a punch was thrown directly at Xiao Yan's face.
The force of the punch was fierce, and the power it contained was enough to easily blast a small mountain into dust.
Faced with this unique welcoming ceremony, Xiao Yan remained completely calm, without even moving an inch. He simply raised his right hand casually, fingers spread, and steadily caught the energy body's punch.
"Bang!"
A dull thud resounded, and a violent impact erupted from Xiao Yan's palm, forming a visible ring of air.
As Xiao Yan felt the punch, he muttered to himself, "To be able to encounter a nine-star Dou Zun level energy body so soon after arriving, it seems that this third level is much richer than the second level."
He gripped the energy entity's fist, his fingers tightening abruptly, crushing the energy entity's fist. Then, Xiao Yan moved his right leg, delivering a whip kick that shattered the energy entity into pieces, causing it to rapidly dissipate.
Xiao Yan raised his right hand and used his attraction to draw the energy core into his palm.
After a brief assessment, Xiao Yan discovered that the Dou Qi contained within was subtly enhanced compared to the second level.
"Superior quality." Xiao Yan weighed it in his hand, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and casually put it into his storage ring.
Absorbing these energy cores one by one is pointless; they should be concentrated together to break through bottlenecks. Thinking of this, Xiao Yan didn't forget his gains from Ling Fengzhui. If he could find a lone member of the Soul Clan or Ancient Clan on this third level, he might try to make another fortune.
In the second level, if you want a nine-star Dou Zun level energy core, you still need to search for it. However, as soon as he entered the third level, Xiao Yan's soul power was only slightly probed out, and he had already discovered an energy body that was more than a nine-star Dou Zun level than Wuming, and even a Dou Zun peak existence.
With such a high concentration of energy and the ubiquitous peak-level Dou Zun energy cores, it's clear that the rule within the Heavenly Tomb is that the higher the level, the more dangerous the environment, but also the greater the benefits—crisis and opportunity coexist. However, for Xiao Yan now, the opportunities clearly far outweigh the dangers.
It should be noted that Xiao Yan only scanned a small area around the light screen and yet made this discovery. Xiao Yan felt cheated and wasted so much time on the second level. If he had come to the third level earlier, his advancement to the mid-stage of the Half-Saint realm would probably have been even faster.
He didn't pause for a moment, his mind stirred slightly.
Three thousand illusory lightning bodies appeared, faithfully guarding Xiao Yan's main body. Xiao Yan then sat cross-legged, forming a profound hand seal in front of his chest, activating the Soul Transference Technique!
His vast, ocean-like mid-stage semi-saint battle qi began to transform at an astonishing speed, rapidly converting into soul power.
Until the last trace of fighting spirit in his body was exhausted, the Soul Transfer Technique ended once again. Xiao Yan took out the energy core and began to absorb the fighting spirit energy within it.
After the transformation of his Dou Qi, Xiao Yan discovered that during the process of using the Soul Transformation Technique, his soul power, which had already reached the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, began to increase at an extremely slow rate. Although the Soul Transformation Technique could not directly cultivate soul power, this transformation allowed Xiao Yan to sense higher levels of soul power, which was somewhat beneficial to him.
"After leaving the Heavenly Tomb, I still need to refine more pills and improve my soul power level," Xiao Yan thought to himself.
He still has many things to do. Besides soul power, he hasn't studied black flames much yet. During the Pill Gathering, he hasn't had a chance to reflect on how the Flame Clan helped him refine a ninth-grade pill and resurrect Elder Yao. If he were to do those things himself, it would definitely be of great benefit to his alchemy skills.
Not to mention, there's Xun'er's matter, which is something Xiao Yan has to face...
"There's simply not enough time..."
Xiao Yan's complaints were not unfounded. He had been in a coma for three years after the Pill Gathering. As soon as he regained consciousness, he was drawn into the Yan Clan's affairs. He even helped refine a ninth-grade pill within the Yan Clan.
Afterwards, he went to the Ancient Clan, only to discover that the Xiao family was facing a huge crisis, leading to a complete falling out and a fierce battle. Upon returning to the Starfall Pavilion, he immediately began preparing for the resurrection of Elder Yao. Afterwards, he went to the Burning Flame Valley, where he devoted all his time to cultivating Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques. Whether by his own initiative or by force, things kept coming one after another, giving Xiao Yan almost no chance to catch his breath.
Even now, with his three companions still missing, Xiao Yan was equally worried. On the third level of the Heavenly Tomb, the most important thing was to improve himself while searching for traces of his three companions.
Once his Dou Qi had recovered to about 70-80%, Xiao Yan stopped trying to restore it. The Dou Qi content of the third level of the Heavenly Tomb was so rich that even if it was just the Burning Technique circulating and absorbing on its own, it would slowly bring Xiao Yan's Dou Qi back to its peak state. This is the power of a Heavenly Rank technique.
Xiao Yan's enhanced soul perception once again expanded outwards from himself, with numerous energy entities appearing within his perception.
After his perception was enhanced, Xiao Yan immediately detected an extremely powerful being, definitely at the half-saint level. Furthermore, judging from the information he sensed, it was definitely not one of the other eight clans; there was only one possibility: it was a half-saint level energy entity.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but lick his lips: "A half-saint level energy body, that's a real treasure!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated and ignored the energy body blocking his way, heading straight for the half-saint energy body.
While Xiao Yan was rushing forward, he noticed that nearly ten energy bodies around the semi-saint energy body were all converging towards the center area. However, all of this was very clear to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled as well: "It's calling for its companions. It seems quite clever..."
