When Xiao Yu arrived together with Xiao Yan, Mo Yu froze for a moment before a delighted smile spread across his lips.
Their simultaneous arrival signified that the Gu Clan had agreed to relinquish the Xiao Clan's spots for the Heavenly Tomb and had granted them to Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu.
This decision surprised Mo Yu greatly.
The Gu Clan had long monopolized the Xiao Clan's spots, and in the original story, Xiao Yan would not have been able to enter the Heavenly Tomb without Xun'er, the sole possessor of the Gu Clan's Divine-grade Bloodline, arguing on his behalf.
Additionally, Gu Yuan, Xiao Yan's future father-in-law, had secretly favored him. Without such support, Xiao Yan would have been denied entry, let alone securing a spot for Xiao Yu.
However, what Mo Yu hadn't anticipated was that Xiao Yu obtaining a spot was closely tied to him.
Since the news of Mo Yu's Divine-grade bloodline had spread, the Gu Clan had been paying close attention. Upon confirming the authenticity of the news, they were astounded.
Even in the Gu Clan, only Xun'er had possessed a Divine-grade bloodline in a millennium. To think that the Lei Clan would produce another individual with a Divine-grade bloodline was beyond belief.
Aware of the immense potential of a Divine-grade bloodline, the Gu Clan understood that failing to eliminate Mo Yu early would necessitate forging good relations with him. Otherwise, his rise could inevitably shift the continent's balance of power.
Unlike the ruthless and venomous Hun Clan, the Gu Clan opted for the latter approach—befriending Mo Yu.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yu, Mo Yu's betrothed, caught their attention. If the Lei Clan's patriarch was willing to offer his daughter to Mo Yu, what did it matter if the Gu Clan offered a Heavenly Tomb spot?
After all, the spot originally belonged to the Xiao Clan, and these old foxes were no strangers to such manipulative tactics.
As Xun'er and her group entered, Xiao Yan's keen gaze instantly landed on Mo Yu.
"Cousin Mo Yu is here too!" Xiao Yan exclaimed with pleasant surprise.
Though he knew Mo Yu was part of the Lei Clan, he was unaware of Mo Yu's status within the clan. Considering how the Gu Clan clung tightly to their Heavenly Tomb spots, he hadn't been certain whether Mo Yu could secure one.
"Hmph, of course, he's here." Xiao Yu initially felt a surge of joy upon seeing Mo Yu, but her expression soured when she noticed the coldly elegant woman by his side. Realizing the situation, her lips curled into a pout, and she snorted softly.
The matter of Mo Yu's other fiancée—Lei Fei'er, the Lei Clan patriarch's daughter—was no secret to those close to Xiao Yu.
Thus, the Lei Clan's two Heavenly Tomb spots naturally went to Mo Yu and Lei Fei'er. Even though Xiao Yu had mentally prepared herself for this, her eyes still grew misty with suppressed bitterness.
Xiao Yan was taken aback by Xiao Yu's aggrieved expression, his face revealing confusion. Xun'er, standing nearby, shook her head and leaned in to whisper an explanation.
"What? Cousin Mo Yu has a Divine-grade bloodline and is engaged to the Lei Clan patriarch's daughter?" Xiao Yan's face changed dramatically upon hearing Xun'er's words, his shock evident.
He had gradually come to terms with Mo Yu being a descendant of the Lei Clan, one of the Eight Ancient Clans, much like his own Xiao Clan heritage.
However, discovering that Mo Yu possessed a Divine-grade bloodline and had even drawn the Lei Clan patriarch to offer his daughter's hand in marriage left Xiao Yan utterly stunned.
During his time in the Gu Clan, Xiao Yan had come to understand how rare and revered Divine-grade bloodlines were. Xun'er, as a possessor of such a bloodline, commanded unparalleled respect and authority, rivaling that of veteran elders.
Yet Mo Yu, a descendant of a declining bloodline, had somehow emerged with a Divine-grade bloodline.
This revelation left not only Xiao Yan puzzled but even Xun'er had been shocked when she first heard the news.
Mo Yu's case was unprecedented in the entire history of the Eight Ancient Clans. Even Gu Yuan, the Gu Clan patriarch, had been left baffled.
While Xiao Yan reeled in shock and Xiao Yu wrestled with her grievances, Mo Yu noticed their reactions. Seeing Xiao Yu biting her lip and on the verge of tears, his heart softened.
His tender gaze didn't escape Lei Fei'er's notice. Following Mo Yu's line of sight, her cold eyes quickly locked onto Xiao Yu.
"So that's the Xiao Clan fiancée of my husband? Hmm, surprisingly plain," Lei Fei'er thought.
Aside from her long legs, Lei Fei'er saw no redeeming features in Xiao Yu. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a large question mark formed in her mind.
She couldn't comprehend why someone as exceptional as Mo Yu, with his Divine-grade bloodline and unrivaled talent, would make Xiao Yu his first wife.
Ignoring the Xiao Clan's diluted Dou Di bloodline, Xiao Yu paled in comparison even to Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian standing nearby.
Imagining herself competing for Mo Yu's favor with such an ordinary woman, Lei Fei'er's interest waned, her phoenix-like eyes narrowing in disdain.
Oblivious to Lei Fei'er's thoughts, Mo Yu turned his attention to Xiao Yan's group, who had just descended from their unicorn mount. He was about to greet them when a sudden tremor shook the entire area.
An ancient, desolate aura surged from the void, causing every soul present to feel an innate reverence.
"The Heavenly Tomb is about to open," Lei Fei'er said softly, gazing at the darkened sky.
"Boom!"
Her words had barely fallen when a thunderous roar erupted from the void.
A thousand-foot-long spatial crack tore open the heavens. At the center of the crack, a ball of silver light emerged, gradually expanding into a hundred-foot-tall ancient gate of light.
The aura of primordial antiquity emanating from the gate caused everyone's souls to tremble.
"So, this is the Gate to the Heavenly Tomb," Mo Yu murmured, staring at the majestic structure towering between heaven and earth.
The gate stood silently, radiating a profound sense of age and power that commanded awe from all who beheld it.
"Everyone, you should already know the rules of entering the Heavenly Tomb. Each clan is allowed only two participants—no exceptions," a Gu Clan elder announced from the sky, his gaze lingering on Mo Yu for a couple of seconds before continuing.
Hearing this, the crowd nodded in understanding. The rules were ironclad, and none dared to violate them.
"Let's enter together, husband. Being separated during entry will lead to random teleportation," Lei Fei'er said with a smile, glancing at Mo Yu.
Hearing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned. After thinking for a while, he slowly nodded. He was entirely unfamiliar with the Heavenly Tomb, so having Lei Fei'er accompany him would undoubtedly save him from many unnecessary troubles.
As for Xiao Yu, it was best for her to stay with Xiao Yan and the others for now. After all, both Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan came from the Xiao Clan. Following Xiao Yan might yield unexpected benefits for Xiao Yu.
Regarding her safety, Mo Yu was well aware of Xiao Yu's lack of strength. Thus, back in the Western Region, he had prepared numerous life-saving measures for her, even giving away his last Black Thunder Talisman. She shouldn't have any major issues.
Suddenly, a deafening rumble erupted from the ancient door suspended in the spatial rift above the sky.
The door creaked open slowly, revealing a crack from which a piercing brilliance burst forth, illuminating the world below.
"If the quotas are decided, then prepare to enter the Heavenly Tomb. Remember, you can only stay inside for three years. After three years, the Heavenly Tomb will automatically expel you," the elder from the Ancient Clan reminded in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on the slowly widening ancient door.
"Three years inside equals six months outside."
From Lei Fei'er's earlier explanation, Mo Yu knew that time flowed differently inside the Heavenly Tomb. The ratio was roughly one to six, with a day in the tomb equating to six days outside.
Mo Yu pondered briefly. This was an incredible opportunity. The Heavenly Tomb was a perfect place for training, and the strange flow of time there only enhanced its value. Spending three years inside would undoubtedly bring significant improvements to his strength.
The ancient door continued to open, and the crack expanded until it was ten meters wide. An overwhelming ancient aura poured out like a rolling mist.
As the door fully opened, the silence was broken by the sound of people slicing through the air. Figures darted across the sky like lightning, heading straight into the ancient door under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.
After bidding farewell to Mang Tianchi and the others, Mo Yu glanced at Xiao Yu, offering her a faint smile and a gesture of encouragement. Then, he stepped into the Heavenly Tomb with Lei Fei'er. Their figures gradually faded into the mist until they disappeared entirely.
Before entering, Mo Yu sent a voice transmission to Xiao Yan: "Cousin Xiao Yan, I leave Xiao Yu's bloodline matter to you."
Xiao Yan was momentarily startled but then chuckled wryly, nodding in acknowledgment. Soon after, he entered the Heavenly Tomb with Xun'er and Xiao Yu.
Inside, a strange, mist-shrouded land spread endlessly. Occasionally, eerie flashes of firelight appeared in the distance, vanishing as quickly as they came. Deathly silence hung over this unfamiliar terrain.
Suddenly, the stillness was disrupted as the space distorted, and two figures stepped out cautiously. The moment they arrived, their Dou Qi began circulating instinctively, their gazes vigilant as they scanned the surroundings.
"So, this is the Heavenly Tomb?" Mo Yu curiously observed the area around him.
"Yes." Lei Fei'er nodded with a smile. Seeing that Mo Yu had not chosen to stay with Xiao Yu, her mood lifted considerably. The Heavenly Tomb was vast; encountering others within it was not guaranteed.
This arrangement felt akin to spending time alone with him.
"The energy here is incredibly dense, even surpassing that of the Lei Realm," Mo Yu remarked, grabbing a handful of the surrounding misty gas. To his surprise, it contained extremely rich and pure Heaven and Earth energy, far exceeding his expectations.
Lei Fei'er's delicate features lit up with a soft smile. Her phoenix-like eyes gazed at Mo Yu. "Husband, which layer do you plan to explore?"
"If possible, I want to visit the tomb mansion of Ancestor Lei Zhen—on the third layer of the Heavenly Tomb," Mo Yu replied after a moment of thought.
This ancestor was on par with Xiao Xuan, and since he was here, Mo Yu naturally couldn't miss the chance to investigate.
Lei Fei'er seemed unsurprised by his answer, likely having learned about it from Lei Ying beforehand.
"In that case, let's set off. The Heavenly Tomb is vast. First, we need to head to the second layer. Based on my estimation, this journey should take about four months.
"Due to the energy suppression here, we can't fly for long periods. Most of the time, we'll have to walk."
Lei Fei'er smiled slightly, her phoenix eyes glancing at Mo Yu. "By the time we reach the second layer's entrance, Husband may reach the peak of Five-Star Dou Zun. If luck is on your side, advancing to Six-Star isn't out of the question either."
As her voice fell, Lei Fei'er chuckled lightly and turned her gaze toward the mist on the right. Raising her jade-like hand, she suddenly clenched it tightly.
In response, the energy in that area rapidly converged. In the blink of an eye, the mist dissipated, revealing a faintly visible, translucent figure in Mo Yu's line of sight.
"These are energy bodies. They use the energy mist to hide themselves and silently approach their targets to launch attacks." Lei Fei'er smiled as she flicked her finger.
The translucent figure distorted violently before exploding with a muffled sound. A thumb-sized streak of light shot toward Lei Fei'er, who caught it with ease.
"This is an energy core. It contains incredibly pure energy and is what we call a great tonic."
Lei Fei'er opened her palm, revealing a thumb-sized, diamond-shaped crystal emitting faint glimmers and dense energy mist.
"In general, energy cores in the Heavenly Tomb are divided into nine levels. The one in my hand is barely at the second level, so it's not particularly valuable.
"High-level energy cores are usually found deeper in the first layer or in the lower layers of the Heavenly Tomb. Husband, try it. Hold it in your palm and channel your cultivation method to absorb it."
With that, Lei Fei'er flicked the energy core toward Mo Yu.
Catching it, Mo Yu examined the crystal briefly before following her instructions. He clasped the energy core in his palm and began channeling his cultivation method.
As his Heavenly Thunder Body activated, Mo Yu's palm grew cold, and a surge of pure, gentle energy gushed out from the energy core like a tide.
The energy flowed into his body, dispersing through his limbs and bones before finally permeating his muscles, bones, and cells.
Under this nourishment, Mo Yu could distinctly feel his strength gradually increasing.
Witnessing this, Mo Yu's eyes gleamed with excitement as he glanced at the surrounding energy bodies, a fiery determination in his gaze.
