Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"What does that mean? How can this be?" Chu Qin exclaimed in surprise. Chu Qin had seen the likeness of Xu Shi Yun and Xu Yichen's mother, right there in the sculptures in Xu Yichen's room.

Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena also showed expressions of surprise.

"It's a past that's too painful to look back on," Sect Leader Long Huang sighed, "Back then, Emperor Xu Chusheng, because of another woman, harbored the intent to kill their mother. Thus, using the exploration of the Dragon Tomb as a pretext, he sent Qin Meijing with only a thousand of the Ironclad Army and two hundred Soul Masters into the depths of the Dragon Tomb for an expedition. Everyone knew this was a one-way death trap, but Xu Chusheng was the Emperor, and no one dared to speak out. And as expected, the Emperor and Empress never emerged again."

"Beast!" Chu Qin and Qian Renxue roared in anger simultaneously.

"And where is Xu Chusheng now?" Chu Qin asked coldly.

"Dead, laughably, he was designed and killed by the woman he fancied!" Xu Shi Yun said with a slight self-mockery, "Originally, that woman had always intended to kill him and had intentionally gotten close to him!"

"This is retribution!" Xu Yichen followed.

"Originally, when the Demon Emperor and I entered the Dragon Tomb, we were partly searching for the Dragon Clan's leftover treasures, and partly looking for traces or bones of the Emperor and Empress," Sect Leader Long Huang replied.

"So, Yi Chen, Shi Yun, you want to go deep into the Dragon Tomb?" Chu Qin asked.

Xu Shi Yun clenched her teeth and nodded, "The Dragon Tomb is fraught with peril; one wouldn't dare to enter if they're not a Hyper Douluo. Especially since after the Sect Leader Long Huang and the Demon Emperor emerged injured, no one has gone in again, let alone ventured into the depths!"

"Your Majesty has always wanted me to take her in, but I hadn't been confident in ensuring Your Majesty's safety, so I refused many times!" Xu Qingtian interjected.

"Teacher, can you take us inside?" Xu Yichen pleaded, "Even if we don't find the Empress Mother, I still want to go in and see for myself!"

"Very well!" Chu Qin glanced at Gu Yuena, then soon nodded, "Let's go in together, and Na'er and I will protect your safety!"

Gu Yuena smiled brightly and nodded.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Xu Yichen and Xu Shi Yun said, overwhelmed with excitement.

"This old servant will also ensure the safety of Your Majesty and the Princess!" Xu Qingtian declared resolutely.

"Hmm, let's go!" Chu Qin nodded.

After that, the group of eight arrived at Dragon Mountain, where the Dragon Tomb was located.

Because it was too dangerous, Xu Shi Yun had deployed a large number of knights around Dragon Mountain to keep people from getting close.

When Chu Qin and the others arrived at this place, they were amazed by the scene before them.

The entrance to the Dragon Tomb was a dimensional vortex with a diameter of dozens of meters, looking extremely magnificent!

Then, with Chu Qin and Gu Yuena leading the way, the group entered the Dragon Tomb!

This place was a desolate, illusionary land.

The sky was overcast, as if shrouded by some colossal creature.

The most direct impression was that there was no wind within the Dragon Tomb! In front of them lay a bare, weedless wasteland, and within the desolation, one could vaguely see some stark white bones, unknown whether they were of dragons or some other creatures!

"Indeed, it's the Dragon Tomb!" Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes lit up, "The Dragon Clan's aura is so strong here. If I'm not mistaken, there must be the remains of at least one Second Generation Dragon King!"

"Na'er, is the Second Generation Dragon King located deep within?" Chu Qin asked.

"Chu Qin, I'll leave that for you to find!" Gu Yuena smiled radiantly, "Once I use Soul Power outside, it might attract the attention of certain things. So, I'll avoid using it unless absolutely necessary!"

"Alright then, leave it to me!" Chu Qin said with a doting smile. As he spoke, his pupils faintly turned white, and in an instant, he could see everything within a hundred-mile radius.

Within the entire hundred miles, there was nothing but desolation, no signs of life at all, only chilling white bones and barren wastelands.

"Strange, there doesn't seem to be anything within a hundred miles!" Chu Qin said with slight confusion.

"Don't just look within a hundred miles, Chu Qin, the desolation extends to five hundred miles around here!" Sect Leader Long Huang said with a smile, "This Dragon Tomb is incredibly vast, it can even be considered a small independent world! So far, the Demon Emperor and I have only ventured a thousand miles in, where we found the relics of the Dream God and Minglong's Remnant Soul!"

"So, you're saying that there are gods in this Dragon Tomb?" Chu Qin said, slightly startled.

"Of course, there are gods!" Gu Yuena replied, "The Dragon Tomb was not created by the Dragon Clan themselves; there are many ways it could have formed. Generally, the Dragon Tomb is a battlefield for the Dragon Clan. In the past, the battles between the Dragon Clan and the Divine Race affected countless planes, with Soul Land being just one of them. If a member of the Dragon Clan who's at the level of the Second Generation Dragon King dies, their energy might not dissipate completely. This energy can envelop the surrounding world, forming an independent small world! So, the presence of Divine Race Remnant Souls and Dragon Clan Remnant Souls is not surprising."

"An independent small world!" Chu Qin frowned slightly, "That means we will have to explore for a while!"

"That won't be necessary!" Sect Leader Long Huang said with a smile, "Chu Qin, you may not know this, but seven days here are equivalent to just one day outside!"

"Since it is an independent small world, the flow of time is naturally different!" Gu Yuena said with a light smile.

"Then that means if we cultivate here, it's like sevenfold the time outside?" Chu Qin asked.

"In theory, yes! But the energy in the Dragon Tomb is not like that of the outside world; it's limited! Once it's all absorbed, this world could collapse!" Gu Yuena responded, "Of course, with the energy of humans like yourselves, collapsing a world left behind by the Dragon King is impossible. But Chu Qin, are you really comfortable with this environment?"

"Not at all!" Chu Qin replied with a smile. He was not short on time and had no need to use the Dragon Tomb for cultivation.

"Huang Er, let's first go to the dragon chamber you discovered. Then, I'll take Yi Chen and Shi Yun to the core of the Dragon Tomb," Chu Qin said, turning to Xu Yichen and Xu Shi Yun.

"Teacher, are you really going to the core?" Xu Shi Yun said, deeply moved.

"What's the matter?" Chu Qin smiled indifferently, "Shi Yun, our initial purpose was to find the remains of the Second Generation Dragon King, of course, we're going to the core!"

"Yes, yes!" Xu Yichen and Xu Shi Yun nodded in unison, their hearts full of emotion.

"But, Shi Yun Yi Chen, if the time flow here is seven to one, then your mother might have been here for over a hundred years already..."

"Actually, teacher!" Xu Shi Yun replied, "We no longer hold hope that our mother is still alive. If possible, we just want to find her..."

"Trust me!" Before Xu Shi Yun could finish speaking, Chu Qin had already placed his hands on her shoulders, looking at her earnestly, "Your mother is definitely fine, although theoretically, time doesn't align, this is after all another world, maybe the rules are different!"

"Yes!" Xu Shi Yun's eyes moistened as she nodded earnestly.

"That's right, teacher is correct, sister, our mother must be fine!" Xu Yichen followed.

"Alright, but we need to hurry. How much longer until Jing'er arrives?" Chu Qin turned to Sect Leader Long Huang.

"She's already here, I have sensed the presence of Demon Emperor No. 7!" Sect Leader Long Huang replied.
