A gentle breeze blew, and Yun Xiaoxi's delicate face showed a hint of weariness as she murmured, "What on earth is going on? Could it be that the Divine Relic of the Fire God Clan has already been stolen?"
At that moment, a flicker of light appeared not far away, and Ye Yang's figure emerged in the graveyard. He walked over confidently and smiled, "Beautiful Yun, have you made any discoveries?"
Yun Xiaoxi shook her head. "No, I’ve searched through the mountains behind the Fire God Clan for over ten miles but found no trace of the Divine Relic. Logically speaking, it’s a divine artifact that should gather spiritual energy; its aura should be very strong. However, I can only faintly sense its existence but cannot locate it based on this slight aura."
Ye Yang approached Yun Xiaoxi and took a deep breath. "How did you search for it? Did you just wander around each mountain?"
"What else could I do?" Yun Xiaoxi replied in surprise.
Ye Yang chuckled and changed the subject. "You haven't eaten anything today, have you?"
Yun Xiaoxi responded off-topic, "Finding the divine artifact is more important."
Ye Yang waved his hand, producing a fragrant crispy chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, then took out a water pouch and said with a smile, "First eat something. After you finish, I'll help you look for it. Although I can only sense a faint aura of the divine artifact as well, I seem to have an idea of how to find it."
"Oh?"
Yun Xiaoxi showed a hint of surprise and then took the food. She took a small bite and looked at Ye Yang. "You know how to find the divine artifact?"
"Let’s talk after you finish eating."
"Okay."
Yun Xiaoxi ate very little and drank some water before clapping her hands. "I’m done. Now tell me, where do you think the divine artifact might be?"
Ye Yang stepped forward to the tomb and pointed to the underground crypt. "If I'm not mistaken, the divine artifact should be right here in this Underground Tomb."
"Ah?"
Yun Xiaoxi opened her mouth wide in shock and said, "Zi Yu, this is your family's ancestral grave. Are you... are you planning to excavate it yourself?"
Ye Yang smiled lightly and replied, "To obtain the divine artifact, this is necessary. I believe our ancestors wouldn't want the Fire God Clan to fall into decline. For the future of the family, what's wrong with digging up an ancestral grave? Don't you think so?"
"Well, but it's disrespectful to disturb the dead..."
"It's fine!"
Ye Yang interrupted Yun Xiaoxi's hesitation with a smile, saying, "Let's open the tomb passage and see what's inside!"
"Okay!"
...
Arriving in front of the Tomb, Ye Yang raised his hand and pulled out the True Fire Sword. With a slight exertion of force, True Qi swirled around the Blade like a high-speed rotating cone. In the next moment, he suddenly thrust the Sharp Sword into the ground. Dust flew everywhere, and this efficiency in excavating soil made Yun Xiaoxi take notice.
Not long after, there was a sudden "clang" sound as the True Fire Sword struck something. Normally, a Second-Grade Weapon like the True Fire Sword could cut through iron like mud, and nothing should be able to withstand it. However, the object underground did not shatter; instead, it seemed to vibrate slightly against the True Fire Sword, which surprised Ye Yang. He quickly bent down and brushed away some dirt, revealing a glowing iron plate embedded firmly five feet deep!
It was clear that it had been there for some time; the iron plate was rusted but not completely decayed. The quality of this iron was quite good. Ye Yang was momentarily taken aback and thought about melting down this iron plate to forge a steel shield, believing that its toughness would be remarkable. After all, even with the True Fire Sword and Ye Yang's Starlight Power combined, they still couldn't penetrate the iron plate, indicating its solid quality.
Yun Xiaoxi seemed to see through Ye Yang's thoughts and stepped forward, asking, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Yang smiled awkwardly and stopped his actions, saying, "Nothing... nothing at all..."
Yun Xiaoxi smiled lightly, extending her hand to sweep gently, and a soft Wind Attribute energy blew over, revealing a line of ancient characters on the iron plate. Yun Xiaoxi read aloud: "Divine Fire Bloodline, Heavenly Seal, Fire God Tomb!"
"Oh! Indeed, this is the Fire God Tomb..." Yun Xiaoxi smiled with delight.
Ye Yang nodded, suddenly gripping the edge of the iron plate. His body surged with Fire God True Qi, and Starlight Power flowed around him. With a powerful shout, the iron plate was instantly opened, revealing a dark abyss beneath it—utterly dark without a hint of light. A foul odor wafted up; who knows how many years it had been since anyone entered here—perhaps a thousand years, perhaps ten thousand.
...
Casually stuffing the iron plate into his Cosmic Bag, Ye Yang reached out to grab a torch from the edge of the Gravekeeper's chamber. After lighting it, he said to Yun Xiaoxi, "Let's go in. I sense the power of the artifact growing stronger; it must be underground!"
"Okay!"
Ye Yang walked ahead holding the torch while activating his Fire God Fragment True Qi. The True Fire Sword ignited with fierce flames, illuminating the tomb chamber brightly!
Although it was quite dilapidated, the tomb chamber was surprisingly tidy. It was a corridor built of piled stones, with ancient paintings carved into the stone walls on either side—depictions of flames, humans, ancient beasts, and mighty deities. Undoubtedly, these images were all praises for the Fire God.
In the flickering firelight, Yun Xiaoxi floated like an immortal. Her beautiful eyes scanned around but held a hint of fear as she whispered, "Zi Yu, aren't you afraid of angering the souls of our ancestors who are sleeping?"
Ye Yang chuckled: "Are you saying there might be... ghosts in the Fire God Tomb?"
"Yes!"
"Haha, the heir of Serene Gate is actually afraid of ghosts!"
"You!"
Yun Xiaoxi was so angry that she stomped her feet and shot a fierce glare at Ye Yang, saying, "Who said I'm scared? Hmph, you walk behind me, and I'll walk in front!"
"Alright..."
Indeed, the beautiful Yun gathered her courage and walked ahead, holding a torch in her hand. Her body shimmered with Starlight Power, almost pushing her True Qi to its peak state. This was not a display of fearlessness towards ghosts; she was clearly prepared for a fight to the death.
Ye Yang couldn't help but chuckle behind her, desperately trying to hold back his laughter as his handsome face nearly contorted.
"Rustling..."
As they stepped on the sand and stones on the ground, a faint wailing sound suddenly came from ahead. Yun Xiaoxi immediately took several steps back and drew her Sharp Sword with a clang. "Who's there?!"
Ye Yang steadied himself and smiled slightly. "It's nothing, just the underground draft. Are you afraid of this too?"
"I... I'm not..."
Yun Xiaoxi's face flushed red as she quickly walked back to the front, her beautiful eyes filled with vigilance.
...
As they moved forward, the scene suddenly opened up to reveal a Tomb Hall. Complex Ancient Runes covered the ground, and in the center of the magic circle lay a pitch-black coffin, half-opened. From a distance, it looked dark and eerie inside.
"The corpse of the Fire God?" Ye Yang's heart stirred.
Yun Xiaoxi carefully placed the torch on a hook at the edge of the tomb chamber, her small face filled with caution. "Can you confirm that the person inside the coffin is your ancestor?"
"Absolutely not!" Ye Yang shook his head firmly.
...
At that moment, a sudden cold wind blew through!
"Whoosh!"
The torch that Yun Xiaoxi had lit was instantly extinguished, and Ye Yang's expression turned cold as he couldn't help but say, "Xiaoxi, long ago, I heard an ancient legend..."
"What?" Yun Xiaoxi's face was tense.
Ye Yang said lightly, "When a person lights a candle, a ghost blows out the lamp..."
"Ah?!"
Yun Xiaoxi took several steps back, her stunning face turning somewhat pale.
