Zhao Yue leaves with Ye Suxin's soul, but Lin Bai warns her that he will kill her if Ye Suxin does not return within a year. The Poison God Clan suffers heavy losses and agrees to a "misunderstanding" with the East Continent Academy and Nanzhou Divine Gate. Lin Bai and his allies retreat to the Daogu Tribe to recuperate. Half a month later, Lin Bai is recovering and meets with Zhang Jianxing and Dugu Yun, who plan to travel and seek stronger cultivation.

Dugu Yun’s gaze carried a look of reminiscence, and after a moment, he chuckled lightly, "I am indeed a warrior of the Sword God Family, but I am also the direct disciple of Old Man of the Lonely Boat."

"Oh?" Lin Bai was taken aback. It turns out Dugu Yun and Old Man of the Lonely Boat have this kind of connection.

Dugu Yun chuckled lightly, "In other words, Zhang Jianxing should be considered my junior brother."

"After I left the Miracle Ridge, I originally planned to return to the Sword God Family for a visit, but on the way, I was taken by my little junior brother to meet our master. After that, the master required me to stay by his side."

"Speaking of which, Lin Bai, this time might be the last time I see you on the Barbaric Ancient Continent."

Lin Bai looked at Dugu Yun in surprise and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Dugu Yun nodded, "Master has arranged for me to go to a place where I might reach the Taoist Realm faster!"

Lin Bai nodded in understanding. As for what place it was, Lin Bai didn’t ask further.

This is the advantage of having a powerful master. People like Old Man of the Lonely Boat naturally know all the secrets above the Barbaric Ancient Continent and know where the quickest place to break through on the Barbaric Ancient Continent is.

Dugu Yun said, "It’s not bad to see you once before leaving the Barbaric Ancient Continent. I was right about you. Back at the Miracle Ridge, I knew you weren’t just an average person. Now, after the battle with the Poison God Family, you’ve certainly surprised us."

"Go ahead, my master and others are waiting for you at the mountain peak."

Lin Bai clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Jianxing and Dugu Yun, then turned and walked towards the mountain peak.

Upon reaching the mountain peak, Lin Bai saw the Old Man of the Lonely Boat sitting cross-legged at the edge of the cliff, while Lan Ling and Feng Lingzi stood respectfully behind him.

"You’re here." The Old Man of the Lonely Boat spoke without turning his head.

Immediately, Lan Ling and Feng Lingzi turned to look at Lin Bai, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

Lin Bai stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "Junior greets Senior Guzhou, greets Lord Lan Ling, greets Senior Feng Lingzi."

Lan Ling and Feng Lingzi didn’t speak.

At this moment, the Old Man of the Lonely Boat stood up from the ground, turned around, looked at Lin Bai, and smiled, "Do you know the extent of the trouble you’ve caused?"

Lin Bai frowned as he looked at the Old Man of the Lonely Boat.

The Old Man of the Lonely Boat said, "Do you really think the Poison God Family is as simple as it seems now? If the Poison God Family only had this bit of strength, do you think they could have stood on the Barbaric Ancient Continent for tens of thousands of years without falling?"

Lin Bai looked at the Old Man of the Lonely Boat with a calm expression.

The Old Man of the Lonely Boat sighed lightly, "Lin Bai, you still know too little about the Barbaric Ancient Continent. It’s your ignorance that led you to cause such big trouble, but it’s also your ignorance that allowed you to gain such great fame."

"Let me tell you, if I hadn’t arrived in time to stop you from destroying the Poison God Family."

"Otherwise, if you really annihilated the Poison God Family, not only you but the entire East Continent’s countless living beings would have faced the crazy revenge of the Poison God Family."

The Old Man of the Lonely Boat spoke calmly with his hands behind his back.

Lin Bai nodded, "I naturally understand it’s impossible to wipe out the Poison God Family, they must have other strong ones."

The Old Man of the Lonely Boat nodded, "Indeed, more than half of the strong ones from the Poison God Family are not on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, but in another place."

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "What place?"

The Old Man of the Lonely Boat said, "Heavenly God Tomb!"

Lin Bai curiously asked, "What is that place?"

The Old Man of the Lonely Boat said lightly, "It is a barren world in the void outside the Barbaric Ancient Continent. It was once a world where the Human Clan thrived."

"But later, several great worlds around discovered that there existed a Divine Tomb of mysterious origin, and it was said that within the tomb, there were Secret Treasures that could change the world, which even moved the Spirit Realm."

"Eventually, the warriors from that world were gradually exterminated, and it became a battleground for warriors from dozens of great worlds around, vying for the Secret Treasures."

"This place, we refer to as the Heavenly God Tomb!"

"The size of the Heavenly God Tomb is as large as three Barbaric Ancient Continents, and to this day, we have not found out where it truly is."

"Perhaps someone has found it but hasn’t spoken, or perhaps none of us have found it."

"Currently, within the Heavenly God Tomb, within the Barbaric Ancient Alliance, there are many ancestors from the Poison God Family!"

"I can tell you for certain, within the Barbaric Ancient Alliance inside the Heavenly God Tomb, there are over a hundred ancestors from the Poison God Family, and their strength has almost all reached the Taoist Realm!"

"If you really annihilated the Poison God Family, what do you think the strong ones from the Poison God Family in the Heavenly God Tomb would do once they return to the Barbaric Ancient Continent?"

The Old Man of the Lonely Boat looked at Lin Bai and asked calmly.

Lin Bai was taken aback, lowering his head, not daring to speak.

Heavenly God Tomb, this was the first time Lin Bai had heard of this place.

And inside the Heavenly God Tomb, among the alliance warriors of the Barbaric Ancient Continent, there were over a hundred strong ones from the Poison God Family, and most of them had reached the Taoist Realm.

If a hundred Taoist Realm warriors entered the Barbaric Ancient Continent, it would likely stir a storm on the Barbaric Ancient Continent.

Even the Central Holy Nation would probably find it difficult to contend with such power.

Seeing Lin Bai’s astonished look, Lan Ling calmly added, "Lin Bai, this concerns the secrets above the Barbaric Ancient Continent. Generally, only near-Dao Realm strong ones within a superpower are qualified to know these matters."

"In fact, it’s not just the Poison God Family; our East Continent Academy is the same. Inside the Heavenly God Tomb, there are also many ancestor-level beings exploring the Secret Treasures."

"Currently, the superpowers you see on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, such as the Sword God Family, Poison God Family, East Continent Academy, Buddha Fate Temple, Central Holy Nation, etc., all have a large number of strong ones inside the Heavenly God Tomb."

"It is for this reason that these superpowers can eternally exist above the Barbaric Ancient Continent."

"Because once an ancestor-level being returns from the Heavenly God Tomb, the structure above the Barbaric Ancient Continent will be rewritten."

Lan Ling said calmly.

Lin Bai nodded in understanding.

Lan Ling continued, "But you need not panic, entering the Heavenly God Tomb is easy, but getting out is difficult. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many Taoist Realm warriors trapped inside, unable to advance or retreat."

Lin Bai asked curiously, "Is the Heavenly God Tomb a place where you can only enter but not exit?"

Lan Ling nodded, "You could understand it that way. Generally speaking, warriors going to the Heavenly God Tomb are within the Wending Realm, with their lifespan nearing its end, and unable to break through. They have no choice but to risk going to the Heavenly God Tomb to find a chance for breakthrough and step into the Taoist Realm to extend their lifespan."

"Therefore, those ancestors of the Poison God Family are mostly for survival, having no choice but to go to the Heavenly God Tomb."

"Take Xu Jiang, for instance. He hasn’t been in the Taoist Realm long, his lifespan is still ample, so he’s in no hurry to go to the Heavenly God Tomb."

"But after a few hundred years, if Xu Jiang’s lifespan slowly depletes and he still hasn’t broken through to a higher level, if he wants to continue living, there’s only one path for him, and that’s to go to the Heavenly God Tomb, seemingly to seek an opportunity!"

"But going into the Heavenly God Tomb is easy, getting out is very hard!"
