This was a Universe-Grade, an extremely powerful one. Qin Xiao could sense a dangerous aura emanating from the old man.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao was a Heavenly Venerate, so he didn't feel anything in the face of such an aura. If his cultivation level had been lower, such an aura would have been enough to make him feel a trace of fear.
"Grandpa Hu Zang …" Xiao Dao was clearly a little afraid of the black-robed old man in front of him. He seemed a little nervous as he called out respectfully. His expression was cautious, but it was obvious that he was in awe.
The black-robed old man raised his head and looked coldly at Xiao Dao before glancing at Qin Xiao. When his gaze landed on Qin Xiao, it turned colder.
The black-robed old man didn't seem to be as friendly as the other clansmen towards an outsider like Qin Xiao.
"Grandpa Hu Zang, it's like this. Big Brother Qin Xiao wants to go to the ancestral burial ground to cultivate. Can he go in?" Xiao Dao asked carefully.
The black-robed old man's cold voice sounded as he said in a deep voice, "The ancestral burial ground is an important place of our Jiang Huo Clan. It's a forbidden area. There's no precedent of it being opened to outsiders."
In other words, he wasn't allowed to enter?
Qin Xiao also thought that the possibility of entering was quite high, but he didn't expect to be rejected.
However, strictly speaking, it was normal. After all, it was the ancestral burial ground. The ancestors of the Xin Huo Clan were all buried there. Naturally, it was an important and forbidden area of the Xin Huo Clan. It was normal for outsiders to not be allowed to enter.
However, after staying in the Xin Huo Clan for more than 10,000 years, Qin Xiao felt that he had completely integrated into the Xin Huo Clan. He already felt that he was a part of the clan.
Although Qin Xiao didn't want to join the Xin Huo Clan, Qin Xiao did treat the Xin Huo Clan as his' home '. Everyone got along very well.
The people of the Xin Huo Clan were very friendly. They didn't refuse to share many things with Qin Xiao. Therefore, Qin Xiao had a preconceived notion that entering the ancestral burial ground wouldn't be a problem.
It was just some inheritance of the Xin Huo Clan's ancestors. It shouldn't be something precious.
However, it seemed that he had been too naive.
"Grandpa Hu Zang, it's like this …"
Xiao Dao was worried that the black-robed old man might not know about Qin Xiao's background, so he explained to him in detail about Qin Xiao's situation. He also mentioned that the clan master allowed Qin Xiao to recuperate in the Xin Huo Clan.
In other words, Qin Xiao was an honored guest left behind by the clan master, and Qin Xiao was actually a Heavenly Venerable, but he was injured in an accident and was currently recuperating in the Xin Huo Clan.
He brought up Qin Xiao's situation and the fact that he was the patriarch. He wanted the black-robed old man to change his opinion of Qin Xiao and make him loosen his mouth.
However, the black-robed old man didn't pay attention to him. After taking a deep look at Qin Xiao, he suddenly said, "Let's go. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the ancestral burial ground."
Xiao Dao was stunned when he heard the black-robed old man asking him to leave. He thought that there wouldn't be any problem, but he didn't expect that it wouldn't work.
Xiao Dao looked at Qin Xiao awkwardly. He had made a promise just now.
Qin Xiao, on the other hand, was calm. He smiled faintly and said, "It's fine. Forget it. Let's go."
Xiao Dao hesitated for a moment. There was no other way now. He could only leave first and think of another way later.
"Grandpa Hu Zang, we'll take our leave first." Xiao Dao said and left with Qin Xiao.
When they were outside, Xiao Dao was still unwilling to give up. He said, "Big Brother Qin Xiao, why don't you wait for me here first? I'll go find the clan master first. The clan master has always been kind and benevolent. I think he'll agree to let you enter the ancestral burial ground. "
"Actually, I don't think it's a big deal. I believe that some of the things in our clan won't be able to catch Big Brother Qin Xiao's eyes. Big Brother Qin Xiao won't covet our things."
Qin Xiao smiled and waved his hand. He said, "Xiao Dao, I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need."
"I don't have any strong desires. Since it's inconvenient, there's no need to force it. It's not a big deal."
"Forget it. Let's go take a look at the Myriad Beasts Forest. If it still doesn't work, then I'll go into the mountains to hunt."
"Actually, what I want the most right now is to go into the mountains to hunt. That's what I need the most. Everything else doesn't matter. It'll be good if I can get it, but it doesn't matter if I don't. "
"I can understand these things very well. Don't think too much about it."
"This …" Xiao Dao hesitated. He really wanted to help Qin Xiao.
Xiao Dao was a very warm-hearted person. Qin Xiao approved of this kind of character.
"Let's go. Take me to the Myriad Beasts Forest." Qin Xiao patted Xiao Dao, telling him not to think too much.
Xiao Dao shook his head. There was no other way. This was the only way.
"You two go in!"
But just as the two of them were about to leave for the Myriad Beasts Forest, the voice of the black-robed old man suddenly came from the tower.
Qin Xiao and Xiao Dao stopped in their tracks. The two of them looked at each other. Xiao Dao looked at Qin Xiao in confusion. What's going on?
Did the black-robed old man suddenly change his mind?
That's not very possible. The black-robed old man was obviously a very stubborn person. He wouldn't change his mind so easily.
If that's the case, then there's only one possibility. That is, someone made him change his mind. In the entire Xin Huo Clan, the only person who could make him change his mind was probably the clan leader.
No matter what the reason was, he changed his mind.
"Haha, Big Brother Qin Xiao, it seems like we don't have to go to the Myriad Beasts Forest anymore. That's great." Xiao Dao was stunned for a while before he finally regained his senses and said with a smile.
The two of them returned to the tower. When they saw the black-robed old man, Xiao Dao thanked him profusely.
Qin Xiao also clasped his fists and bowed. He said, "Thank you, senior."
"Senior?" When the black-robed old man heard Qin Xiao calling him senior, he frowned deeply. He looked at Qin Xiao with a strange expression.
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, are you not qualified to be my senior?"
"Although my strength has decreased greatly, my eyesight hasn't decreased by much. If I'm not wrong, senior has lived for an era. You're nearing the end of your life. "
"I've lived for so long, but I'm still far away from an era. So, it's only right for me to call you senior."
In this world, seniority was determined by strength.
The stronger one was, the higher the status. It was rare to see seniority based on age.
Qin Xiao wasn't a member of the Xinhuo Clan, so he didn't need to be treated according to seniority.
Qin Xiao was a Celestial Venerable. Logically speaking, he could put on airs in front of the black-robed old man.
However, Qin Xiao didn't. Not only did he not, but he also politely called him senior. This situation naturally surprised the black-robed old man, which was why he asked this question.
"It's indeed rare for a young man to have such a senior. Not bad." The black-robed old man, Hu Zang, nodded. His attitude toward Qin Xiao had obviously changed greatly.
There was a hint of praise in his tone.
Respect was mutual. You had to show respect to others first before you could gain their sincere respect.
Sometimes, respect that was earned with strength was a little empty.
"You two go in." Hu Zang waved his hand and a passage appeared in front of Qin Xiao and Xiao Dao.
After bidding farewell to Hu Zang, Qin Xiao and Xiao Dao walked toward the ancestral burial ground.
After passing through the black tunnel, the two of them entered the ancestral burial ground. The moment they entered, they felt an extremely sinister aura pounce on their faces, causing Little Dao to involuntarily shiver.
The ancestral burial ground was built in the belly of a huge mountain. The belly of the huge mountain was completely controlled and empty, forming a huge burial ground.
What appeared in front of Qin Xiao were tombs. Each tomb occupied an area of about 100 feet. At a glance, the densely packed tombs were like stars in the sky. There were too many to count.
At a glance, one couldn't see the end of it.
There was a stone tablet in front of each tomb. These stone tablets contained the lifetime of cultivation and comprehension of that ancestor, as well as the lifetime of inheritance, left behind in them.
Although these people had died, they were still 'alive' in this way and continued to bring blessings to the descendants of the Xinhuo Clan.
However, those buried here were only Universe-Grade existences. The inheritance was indeed a little small.
This was the only way for the Xinhuo Clan.
"Big Brother Qin Xiao, this is the ancestral burial ground. Countless ancestor spirits have been buried here since the founding of the Xinhuo Clan. Even I don't know how many ancestor spirits have been buried here. No one has seriously counted. Moreover, there will be more ancestor spirits buried here every once in a while. The number will continue to increase. "
Xiao Dao was still a little sad as he looked at these ancestor spirits. He was even more in awe.
Qin Xiao glanced around and said, "Everyone will be buried here after they die?"
Xiao Dao shook his head and said, "Big Brother Qin Xiao, of course that's impossible. If everyone is buried here, how many people have been buried over the endless years? To what extent would the ancestral burial ground need to be expanded? "
Qin Xiao smiled. He also felt that it was impossible.
If that was the case, it would be far from enough to expand the ancestral burial ground by 10,000 times.
The Xinhuo Clan's inheritance had been passed down for thousands of universe epochs. Even if there was only one generation in each universe epoch, there would still be thousands of generations. The Xinhuo Clan's clansmen would also exceed ten million.
If that was the case, the number of clansmen born in history would also be a very large number.
However, the ancestral burial ground before them was obviously not that big and there weren't that many ancestor spirits buried here.
Xiao Dao continued to explain, "Big Brother Qin Xiao, the ancestral burial ground is the sacred place of our Xinhuo Clan's ancestors. It's a glorious place."
"It's not that easy to be buried in the ancestral burial ground. There are a few conditions that must be fulfilled."
"The first condition is that one must be a hunter of the hunting corps. This is the basic condition. Only by fulfilling this condition can one be buried in the ancestral burial ground."
"In addition to this condition, one must die naturally in the clan and leave behind an inheritance before being buried in the ancestral burial ground."
"For example, some hunters who died in battle outside naturally can't be buried in the ancestral burial ground. These people will be buried in the Ardent Heroes Garden, where some of the heroes of our clan will be buried. "
"As for the others, they won't be buried. They will be turned into ashes and returned to nature."
Qin Xiao nodded. Only then did he feel relieved. It was more or less what he had expected.
The ancestral spirits buried in the ancestral burial ground were probably in the millions or even tens of millions. This was the accumulation of the Xinhuo Clan over the endless years. It was a precious wealth that could bring blessings to the future generations.
Qin Xiao walked towards the nearest tomb. In front of the tomb, there was a lifelike statue. Beside the statue was a stone tablet. On the stone tablet, there was a written record.
