Above all spirits

Chapter 259 An Unexpected Joy (Part 1)

"I...I just tried it out..."

Xiao Li was still in a daze. He was already of low strength and only relied on Gu Yun to penetrate into the heart of the Titan Realm. Before Gu Yun gave any orders, he was completely at a loss, and the system could not give him any instructions either.

At the same time, the barrier's reaction did not stop there; its red light grew stronger, emitting a dangerous energy fluctuation, and the oppressive feeling in the air intensified.

Gu Yun sighed and immediately realized that this was not just an alarm barrier, but also seemed to have some kind of defense mechanism. Although he felt somewhat helpless, he did not lose his composure in the slightest.

After all, in the lower realm, even if the Titans' guards discovered him, what could they do to him? It would just take a little more effort. The only problem was that the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will was a bit difficult.

"Relax, I'll operate the suit. Just leave it to me."

He transmitted his voice: "I'll give you one more chance. You know what to do, right? Hurry up and follow me."

Soul power surged once more, and the power: Stealth was instantly activated. Gu Yun emitted an invisible wave from his body, and the space lost his presence. Even the air currents passed through his body, and his figure gradually merged into the shadows of the planet's surface, his aura completely gone.

Werner replied, "I know, I know."

After following Gu Yun's instructions, Xiao Li did not hesitate for long. He immediately emptied his mind and body and handed his whole body over to Werner's control. After a smooth assimilation and stealth sequence, he instantly passed through the red-glowing barrier and followed Gu Yun's steps to hide his figure.

Not long after Gu Yun and Xiao Li disappeared.

The silence in the air was broken by a huge tremor.

"boom---!"

"Thump—!"

"Thump—!"

Then came several footsteps, growing louder and louder as they approached.

Before long, several huge figures appeared here, each step they took producing a loud thud.

They were four enormous, imposing giants who looked human-like, or more precisely, giant humans with darker skin.

Their figures, viewed from below, resembled towering mountains reaching into the clouds. Each giant seemed to be a bridge between the earth and the sky. Gu Yun narrowed his eyes and estimated that the average height of an adult Holy Body Titan should be a little over twenty meters. Because these four Titans of different strengths also had differences in height, the leader, a peak Holy Body expert, was nearly thirty meters tall, while the three Holy Body Ninth Rank experts beside him were only about twenty-seven meters tall.

Judging from the uniform gray cloth clothing of these four people, and the unique tripod-shaped totem symbol on their right chest, with the number 12 below each symbol, it is reasonable to guess that they were a group of four guarding a tomb.

Although his strength is somewhat lacking, his aura is by no means weak. Under the same conditions, none of the peak Saint Body cultivators in the human realm can match Gu Yunti, a ninth-level Saint Body cultivator from Titan Star. He might have a chance at being half-step Xiantian.

The four Titans who arrived at the location were all male. Their faces were clearly angry, and there were even faint blood vessels in their eyes. Thick blood and qi surged in their bodies like a tide, and the sound of their heartbeats seemed to shatter the air, deafeningly loud.

They gazed at their surroundings in silence for a while, and after confirming that there were no signs of any living beings entering, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the Titan giant at the peak of the Holy Body waved his hand to remove the alarm of the barrier and spoke.

"There is no sign that the barrier has been broken or damaged. The creatures that touched it seem to have fled because of the barrier's alarm."

One of the Titans, a ninth-level Saint Body, frowned with his thick, horizontal eyebrows and asked in confusion, his deep voice echoing continuously.

"What kind of creature is that head?"

"Could it be one of those persistent corpse-refining sects again?"

The Titan, at the peak of the Holy Body realm, shook his head.

"That's unlikely. If it were true, how could they be so stupid as to knowingly trigger the barrier alarm while attempting to steal?"

"Although this barrier was established by the gods, it is ultimately made of materials from the lower realms. The world is vast, and there are countless talented and extraordinary people; otherwise, we wouldn't need to take turns guarding various planets."

"However, after that incident, the gods were furious and wiped out a large number of people with covetous intentions. For decades, they have hardly come to attack."

Another Titan giant in the team, at the ninth level of the Holy Body, analyzed the situation.

"Could it be that the Mind-Clearing Stone Mirror released by the clan this time has attracted people from the other seven realms who have gotten lost and come here?"

"After all, the information we released only made the various races aware that it was a treasure of heaven and earth, but they did not know that the requirements for using this treasure of heaven and earth were extremely demanding. It was entirely a business opportunity for our race to communicate with the outside world."

“I dare say that none of the creatures from all races who have come here possess a pure heart, and those creatures without a pure heart are simply unable to activate this Mind-Clearing Stone Mirror.”

"Even if we take a step back, a being with a pure heart would owe us a great debt of gratitude for our gift. Even if we made a grand promise to give it to them beforehand, they would certainly not accept it with a clear conscience."

"No matter how you look at it, it's beneficial to our clan."

The Titan, at the peak of the Holy Body realm, nodded in approval.

"That's possible."

"A person with an immaculate heart can cultivate without any obstacles or mental barriers. Their righteous energy is innate. Such a person, with just a little help from behind, will at least achieve a pseudo-innate state in the future. They might even ascend to the upper realm to seek the realm of immortality. After all, there was such a person among the human race. The gods mentioned to us that after ascending, this person first solidified their innate state and then became an immaculate divine body. Many gods extended olive branches to them regardless of their human status in the lower realm."

"Because many gods also want to see where the upper limit of the Immaculate Divine Body, which has no cultivation threshold, is."

"Unfortunately, he was unwilling to become a servant of the gods and unwilling to believe in them. If he had done so, he would no longer have a pure heart, and the gods would naturally not lower themselves to be equals with humans. After understanding the principle, they finally killed him."

"After all, nurturing you was merely the god's interest. If you lose the god's interest, then you have no future."

"However, such a person is second only to the Emperor in the lower realm. The chance of gaining the favor of such a future powerhouse is not high."

"but."

"We cannot completely rule out the possibility that it was intentional."

The Titan who had spoken first suddenly froze, as if he understood the meaning of those words.

"Boss, you're not saying they're after the Extreme Yang Pearl from the Imperial Mausoleum..."

The Titan, at the peak of his Holy Body, immediately roared in anger.

"Shut up! Have you forgotten that all the guards of the tomb swore an oath not to tell anyone about this, not even to have that thought, or they would be annihilated?"

"You've got some nerve, kid."

The Titan, who had been reprimanded, trembled slightly and stammered.

"Aren't there any outsiders here?"

"Boss, no one else besides us tomb guards could possibly know about this, unless they are that person's descendants or clansmen."
