Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

"Well, although Chief Gu Yuan asked me to keep going forward after I came in."

Inside the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan looked at the dense woods surrounding him that exuded a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. He stopped where he was with his arms folded, looking at the interlaced tree trunks in front of him with a slightly helpless look.

In this environment, I think it would be difficult to move forward straight ahead, right?
Xiao Yan looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds and tried to mobilize his fighting spirit to fly into the air, but he failed. He must have been restricted by some kind of restriction.

“Patriarch Gu Yuan said that this is the ancient clan’s celestial tomb. This should refer to the place where the ancient clan’s ancestors are buried, right?” Xiao Yan looked around and couldn’t help but sigh, “As expected of one of the Eight Ancient Clans, they even opened up a space specifically for burying their ancestors.”

"But the question is, who should I come in to see? The ancestors of the ancient clan should have nothing to do with me, right?"

Just as Xiao Yan was puzzled, his eyebrows slightly raised, he turned around abruptly, and saw several figures emerging slowly from the lush jungle.

These are. Soul bodies?
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, but soon frowned.

No, it is somewhat different from a soul body. I can feel some physical existence. Rather than being a soul body, it is more like Yao Tianhuo, a visible and tangible energy aggregate.

But these energy bodies.
Xiao Yan slightly turned sideways to avoid the opponent's fighting spirit that was slashing towards him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The one who comes is not kind.

At the same time, Xiao Yan was also astonished. A rough glance at these energy bodies revealed that they all had strength of at least the peak Dou Zun level.

“It seems that you were all incredible masters when you were alive.” Xiao Yan looked at the lifeless eyes of those energy bodies and gently turned his wrist. “I have no intention of offending the dead, but since you all came with murderous intentions, I can only offend you.”

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he released the Infinite Dark Heart Flame, which turned into a slender stream of flame and shot out, accurately penetrating the brows of each energy body. The flame rose up at the moment of contact, and in the blink of an eye, they all turned into nothingness.

"Ok?"

Xiao Yan withdrew his hand and looked at the dissipated energy bodies in astonishment.

As they dissipated, a subtle and strange smell was revealed, which should be the remnants of their life.

But why does this aura resemble that of the Soul Palace?

Xiao Yan realized that something was wrong. Wasn't this the ancient clan's celestial tomb? Why was there a residual energy body from the Soul Palace?
Xiao Yan pinched his chin and glanced around.

Could this be the cemetery of the eight ancient tribes? But the ancient tribe has the management rights?
At this moment, Xiao Yan saw a light in his arms. He reached out and took out the token that Gu Yuan had given him before he came in.

At this time, the token exuded a dazzling light from the inside out, and the light pointing in one direction was particularly dazzling, causing Xiao Yan to nod thoughtfully.

"In that direction?"

Xiao Yan followed the guidance of the token and moved forward, passing through the dense and lush jungle. The deeper he went, the colder and more eerie the surrounding atmosphere became. Malice and resentment filled the air, which even made Xiao Yan, who was now very powerful, feel a chill in his soul.

After walking dozens of steps, Xiao Yan finally left the gloomy jungle according to the guidance of the token. What came into his sight was a huge cemetery. Countless tombstones were crookedly inserted in one earth pit after another, like a mass grave. There was no sound at all, and the silence was terrifying.

Those tombstones were also very simple. Xiao Yan squatted in front of one of them and gently wiped off the dust covering it, but found that the words carved on the tombstone had long been blurred due to the erosion of time, and he could only vaguely see a name.

Lei Wanjun.

Xiao Yan frowned and walked to another tombstone to wipe off the dust.

Flame Gang.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan checked several tombstones, including those of the Thunder Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Medicine Clan. The only one missing was the Xiao Clan which had long been destroyed.

"It is true. It is not just the ancestors of the ancient clan that are buried in this tomb."

After coming to this conclusion, Xiao Yan paused, then clasped his hands together and bowed devoutly to the many graves in front of him.

“May your souls rest in peace.”

Xiao Yan did not understand their past grudges, nor did he want to understand. Since they were all dead, whether they were good or evil in life, it had all been wiped out.

Death is the fairest thing in this world.

"Hey~ Whose descendant is this? So polite?"

Ok?
The sudden voice made Xiao Yan raise his eyebrows suddenly, and then he saw an illusory figure slowly floating out of a Thunder Clan tomb not far away. He looked like a majestic man, who stroked his chin lightly and looked at Xiao Yan.

Before Xiao Yan could come to his senses, a man's soul floated out from the Yan clan's tomb on the other side and mocked the Lei clan's soul in a very rude manner.

"Anyway, it's definitely not from your ThunderClan. You guys are so arrogant. I've never seen anyone from your ThunderClan being polite."

"Hey! You want to fight? We in the Thunder Clan are better than the Stone Clan no matter what! As for the Stone Clan, they are a bunch of expressionless people. They treat everyone as if they owe them money, and their tempers are worse than each other!"

As soon as the Thunder Clan soul finished speaking, a soul body floated out of the Stone Clan tomb and glared at him, cursing.

"Third Brother Lei! How dare you insult the younger generation of my clan like this? You really want to be beaten!"

"Come if you want! Am I afraid of you?"

"Everyone wake up! These two guys are making trouble again!"

"I bet on Lei Lao San to win this time."

"By the way, didn't the most recent Heavenly Tomb Trial end? How did this little brat get in?"

As the few people argued, one soul after another emerged from their respective graves, all watching this farce with great interest.

In just half a minute, the cemetery, which had been quiet just a moment ago, suddenly became very lively. Souls crawled out from their respective graves one after another. It was obvious that they were very familiar with each other, which made Xiao Yan a little dazed.

Is this awkward?
What made Xiao Yan feel even more terrified was that these soul bodies were incomplete, but even so, their strength had at least reached the level of a one-star Dou Sheng! Just the incomplete soul bodies were at the level of a one-star Dou Sheng, how strong were they when they were alive?
"My little brother is so handsome. Tell me, who are you from?"

A charming voice sounded beside Xiao Yan's ears. Xiao Yan turned his head slightly and saw a royal sister's soul body that appeared from the tomb of the spirit race coming to his side. She gently raised her slightly transparent jade fingers as if teasing. The charm in her eyes was very tempting, enough to make an ordinary man be seduced instantly.

Her strength made Xiao Yan feel shocked. She was actually at the early stage of a four-star Douluo!
However, Xiao Yan had been through so many things and was no longer the innocent little boy who had just started out. He turned around and faced the soul of the spirit lady, clasping his hands together and greeting her in a serious voice.

"Junior Xiao Yan, nice to meet you, senior."

The simple introduction of herself made the charming expression of the spirit lady sluggish instantly, and the noisy souls of various races beside her were also stunned. The noisy cemetery suddenly became silent. After a long while, the spirit lady came back to her senses, looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment and asked.

"Xiao Yan? Are you a descendant of the Xiao clan?"

"No way? Wasn't the Xiao clan wiped out by the Soul Clan a thousand years ago?"

"Think about it, it's a big clan, the Soul Clan can't possibly wipe out all of them, there will always be some that are missed."

A group of people started chattering again. The chats reminded Xiao Yan of those old men and women who had nothing to do and sat on the street chatting with each other when he was in Wutan City.

At this time, the Queen Sister of the Spirit Clan came up to look at Xiao Yan and said with a smile.

“If he knew that he had descendants, he would probably be overjoyed. After all, he has been waiting for so many years.” The Spiritual Clan’s sister lowered her head slightly and looked at the token in Xiao Yan’s hand. She was startled. “Did Gu Yuan let you in with this token?”

"Gu Yuan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several ancient clan soul bodies who were originally watching the fun raised their eyebrows, gathered together, and cast their eyes on the token in Xiao Yan's hand.

"It is indeed the token of Patriarch Gu Yuan."

"So, Patriarch Gu Yuan asked him to come in and find that person?"

"Alas, the clan leader was indeed sorry for him at the beginning."

These ancient clan souls sighed and then looked at Xiao Yan and said in a deep voice.

"Since the clan leader let you in, it is our responsibility to take you to see him."

Although these ancient souls did not say who he was, Xiao Yan had already guessed it in his heart. He did not refuse and saluted them with his fists clasped.

"Then I'll trouble you seniors."

“Hey~ He’s obviously that guy’s descendant, but this kid is quite polite.” Xiao Yan’s politeness made the ancient clan souls nod their heads in satisfaction. “If that guy had half the humility of his descendant, he wouldn’t be so unpopular.”

"There's nothing we can do. They do have the capital to be arrogant. Just accept it."

Just as the few of them were communicating in this way, the spirit clan queen waved with a charming smile.

"I'll take him over. I quite like this little brother."

"Ling Qingya, you're already dead, can you stop harming the younger generation? And you're the descendant of that guy, are you really not afraid of death?"

After these words were spoken, the spirit clan queen named Ling Qingya looked angry.

"What do you mean by 'harm'? Don't you know how popular I was when I was alive?" After saying that, Ling Qingya looked at Xiao Yan and smiled charmingly, "Compared to you guys, this little brother must want a pretty big sister to accompany him, right? Big sister knows a lot of tricks that can make men linger~"

Xiao Yan looked at Ling Qingya with a conflicted expression. After a moment, he stepped back a few steps away from Ling Qingya and responded very sincerely.

"I'm sorry, Senior Ling, I already have a wife and shouldn't discuss similar topics with other women."

Following Xiao Yan's words, the scene fell silent.

Then, there was a thunderous laugh.

"Hahahahaha! Ling Qingya! There are times when you get rejected too! And by a junior at that!"

"I'm afraid your tricks when you were alive are of no use to the boys nowadays~"

"How about I carve a new epitaph for you on your tombstone right now? On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Ling Qingya took the initiative to express her love to the younger generation of the Xiao clan, but was rejected without hesitation."

As the soul of the ancient clan spoke, he made a move to go to Ling Qingya's tombstone. Ling Qingya glared at him angrily.

"You dare?!" Ling Qingya put one hand on her waist and pointed at them with the other hand, scolding them angrily, "You bunch of stinky men, you chased me so hard when you were alive, but now you turn your back on me after being dead for hundreds of years?"

"You said it was before life, but after death, it's just a skeleton." One of the ancient souls spread his hands, "Thinking back, I was young and ignorant, and I was seduced by a vicious woman like you."

"That's right, how many men here have been killed by your beauty? Why are you pretending to be innocent?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several male souls around them lowered their heads slightly, their faces looking ugly, with shame in their eyes.

Their entire reputation was ruined by this woman Ling Qingya.

"Humph! That's because I have the capital! No one else can do it even if they want to!"

Ling Qingya was not ashamed but proud of it, and she puffed out her chest with pride. Xiao Yan, who had listened to the whole thing, couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from twitching.

Judging from what he said, these people must have had a deep hatred for each other in their lifetime, right? How could they still get along so harmoniously after death? They were talking about a life-and-death hatred as if it were a joke.

An ancient clan soul seemed to have guessed what Xiao Yan was thinking and waved his hand indifferently.

"We are just residual souls. We have no chance of resurrection. We should live one day at a time. It is meaningless to hold on to the hatred from hundreds of years ago." Then he looked at Ling Qingya and said, "Since you have asked, then you can take him over. Be careful to protect the boy's safety. Otherwise, if that guy finds out that you have lost his descendant, he will come and crush you into scum."

"I know, I know~"

Ling Qingya waved her hand impatiently and looked at Xiao Yan with a charming smile.

"Little brother, then follow your sister, do you dare?!"

Ling Qingya's expression suddenly changed, and she swung her hand violently, instantly repelling an attacker.

Before Ling Qingya made her move, Xiao Yan had already noticed the sudden attack, but before he could make a move, Ling Qingya took the lead.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, looking at the soul body that was repelled by Ling Qingya. Ling Qingya's soul body floated in front of Xiao Yan and protected him behind him, staring at the front with a bad face.

“Hundiao, what do you want to do?” Ling Qingya’s previous charm had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a gloomy temperament that made Xiao Yan feel cold in his bones. “All of us here have set up a rule together that the hatred of the past is not allowed to affect the younger generations. Do you want to make enemies with everyone here?!” (End of this chapter)
