**Eight prodigies, each occupying one of the eight directions, stood with the two jade pendants at the center, radiating intricate spiritual patterns that extended outward.**

**On the ground, these patterns spread like a sky full of stars, cascading down in a breathtaking display.**

**The thunderous roar continued, and at a height of ten zhang above the ground, the mountain’s surface revealed eight extremely complex and intricate marks, like blood-red brands, flickering with a sinister glow.**

**In that moment, the world seemed to lose its color, as if within this area, only those brands existed.**

**The eight brands, like eight ancient characters, seemed to tell a story.**

**Li Xinhen and Li Xinyue, upon seeing this, exchanged glances and their faces lit up with joy.**

**It was true!**

**This place was indeed the tomb of Li Yun.**

**The sealing technique used here was a unique skill of Li Yun from years ago.**

**The thunderous roar continued…**

**In the blink of an eye, the spiritual patterns emanating from the jade pendants released beams of light that shone upon the ground.**

**The earth rumbled and shook.**

**Gradually, cracks began to spread.**

**And then, the tip of a tower pierced through the ground.**

**The roar grew louder and more deafening.**

**The tower tip emerged to a height of one zhang before abruptly stopping.**

**The two jade pendants, their light now dimmed, were retrieved by Li Xinhen and Li Xinyue.**

**”The Bone Strength Tower!”**

**”It truly is the tomb of Li Yun!”**

**”I never expected that after searching for so many years, we would finally find it!”**

**Disciples from all sides exclaimed in astonishment, crowding forward.**

**Xu Wen, seeing the exposed tower tip, was also surprised: “The Bone Strength Tower, a renowned top-tier treasure of the Li clan, taken by Li Yun. It seems this place is indeed the tomb of Li Yun.”**

**”This tower is highly suitable as the core of a sealing array. Judging by the damaged patterns on the tower tip, it must have been a long time…”**

**Xu Wen chuckled, patted Ye Wushuang, and said, “Brother Ye, it seems our journey wasn’t in vain. The Bone Strength Tower may be damaged, but Li Yun, who could use it to seal his tomb, must have left behind something extraordinary.”**

**”And look at those jade pendants Li Xinhen and Li Xinyue took out. They are extraordinary. They easily broke the array and revealed the tower tip. What does this mean?”**

**”It means the Li clan must have received some information and were well-prepared.”**

**”Hehe, this is getting interesting. The ancient map is in the hands of the Wu Zhe from Tianji Mansion. The Li clan must have known in advance. This time… it’s definitely a fierce competition!”**

**”But in the end, the one who will gain the great fortune will definitely be us two!”**

**Once Xu Wen’s mouth opened, it was hard to shut it.**

**At this moment, the crowd in the valley below had already followed the exposed tower tip, opened the top of the tower, and entered through the entrance one by one…**

**After a long while, the valley, now empty of the hundred or so figures, fell eerily quiet.**

**Xu Wen chuckled, “Brother Ye, shall we get going?”**

**”Why rush?” Ye Wushuang replied patiently, “On the surface, it’s just them, but there must be others lurking in the shadows. Let’s wait a bit longer.”**

**The news had spread far and wide. People from the Tianyan Dynasty, the Li Clan, Tianji Mansion, Shengdan Sect, and the Chi Yan Empire all knew about it.**

**There must be others who knew as well!**

**However, these people had not yet revealed themselves.**

**About ten minutes later, several figures in the northwest direction of the valley, unable to contain themselves any longer, rushed down into the valley.**

**”Wow, it’s Qian Guxing from the Daqian Empire!” Xu Wen exclaimed in surprise, “This guy is also a tough character, incredibly formidable.”**

**Ye Wushuang said nothing.**

**Qian Guxing, with a few others, stood in front of the tower tip, glancing around.**

**Clearly, he was also aware that there must be others lying in wait.**

**Qian Guxing looked at the people around him and said, “Never mind, let’s go in and see for ourselves.”**

**The figures disappeared into the tower…**

**Another quarter of an hour passed.**

**A group of more than ten people emerged.**

**The leader, a young man in a white robe with a jade crown, his long hair flowing freely, looked ethereal and otherworldly.**

**”Wow, it’s the Taiqing Palace’s Taishengzi!” Xu Wen shrank back, saying, “This guy has an incredibly strong talent. I think he will definitely have a place among the top seven.”**

**Ye Wushuang also glanced at the young man in white, but said nothing.**

**In this way, after Taishengzi led his group into the tower, Ye Wushuang and Xu Wen continued to wait.**

**Another quarter of an hour passed.**

**Xu Wen said, “It’s about time. Everyone who was supposed to come has arrived.”**

**”The prodigies from the Seven Great Sects are almost all here, except for Li Wenbo from Lingjian Mountain.”**

**Hearing this, Xu Wen was taken aback, scratched his head, and chuckled, “Li Wenbo? He’s nothing. Don’t listen to the rumors outside. Compared to these guys, Li Wenbo is not even worth mentioning.”**

**Ye Wushuang looked at Xu Wen with a strange expression, but in the end, said nothing. The two of them headed straight for the valley.**

**As the two disappeared into the tower, more than twenty figures emerged on the mountain peak.**

**”This Ye Wushuang is really patient!” the leader said coldly.**

**This group was from the Tianyang Empire and the Gufeng Empire.**

**Brother and sister Dumingxing and Dumingyue, as well as Gu Ruochen, Feng Chengyu, and Feng Yaran, were all among them.**

**These individuals were the most outstanding heavenly pride of the two empires.**

**Gu Ruochen sneered, “The spiritual value points on Ye Wushuang must have reached a terrifying level. This time, killing him is the main goal, and exploring the tomb of Li Yun is secondary!”**

**Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.**

**More than twenty people headed towards the valley.**

**Now, it could be said that prodigies from all sides had gathered, all deeply attracted by the tomb of Li Yun.**

**Inside the tower.**

**Ye Wushuang and Xu Wen entered the tower.**

**This was the highest part of the tower that had been revealed. Inside, they saw a room with a diameter of three zhang.**

**There were several doors around the room, all of which had already been opened.**

**Clearly, the people who had arrived earlier had left through different doors.**

**Xu Wen looked at Ye Wushuang and chuckled, “Brother Ye, which door should we take?”**

**Ye Wushuang, however, stared at Xu Wen and said directly, “We are strangers. I have no intention of forming an alliance with you. Let’s part ways here.”**

**With that, Ye Wushuang chose a door and walked in.**

**Behind the door was a long, spiral-shaped passage, with steps leading downward into the depths of the earth.**

**The walls on either side of the steps were made of stone, and embedded in them were glowing jade stones that cast a gentle light, making the area dim but not completely dark.**

**”Brother Ye, wait for me!” Xu Wen’s voice rang out again after a short while.**

**Ye Wushuang sighed in frustration.**

**This guy was like a stubborn piece of plaster, impossible to shake off!**

**He gave Ye Wushuang a dangerous feeling. If they were to fight, even if Ye Wushuang could win, it would likely come at a great cost.**

**At this moment, it was clearly unwise to engage Xu Wen in a fight.**

**”Why are you following me?” Ye Wushuang, gripping his sword, turned around and said coldly.**
