People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

"Oh!"

The moment the ancient stone gate was fully opened, a vast wave, seemingly originating from the primordial era, suddenly and violently swept out.

The entire underground magma sea instantly surged with towering waves, the earth trembled violently, and countless abyssal cracks, each a thousand feet in size, appeared to be about to collapse.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling pointed his finger, and a spatial fluctuation surged out.

As Xiao Ling made his move, the turbulent space outside suddenly froze, and the raging magma and the cracked earth all came to a standstill.

"We can't let you make too much noise, otherwise there might not be any living people left in the Black Corner Region."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and murmured.

As soon as he finished speaking, the shattered earth slowly healed, the surging lava calmed down, and everything around quickly returned to normal.

In that instant, strange light patterns suddenly appeared on the ancient stone gate, and space itself distorted. Inside the giant gate, a nearly transparent and mysterious passage slowly condensed and took shape.

"This must be the entrance to the ancient Emperor Tuoshe's cave. Now that the passage is open, let's go inside together and see what kind of opportunities this ancient emperor's cave holds."

Xiao Ling glanced around briefly, then looked at Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan, and Xiao Xuan beside him, and spoke calmly.

All three nodded, their eyes filled with undisguised anticipation. After all, this was the cave dwelling left behind by the ancient emperor Tuoshe, and no one could help but yearn for the treasures and inheritances hidden within.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling said no more, and with a swift movement, he took the lead and rushed into the transparent passage.

Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan, and Xiao Xuan followed closely behind, their four figures disappearing into the passage one after another, only to be completely swallowed up by the flowing light in an instant.

……

A light, milky-white mist, like a veil, permeated the entire strange space, making the world appear hazy and ethereal.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a vast expanse of water, with no clear boundaries between near and far. The entire space was shrouded in a misty haze, exuding an indescribable tranquility and mystery.

This space was eerily silent. There was no howling wind, no chirping insects, and even the spatial fluctuations were so faint as to be almost imperceptible. It was as if it had been silent here for tens of thousands of years since its birth, isolated from the world and undisturbed by the outside world.

In this boundless void, a vast landmass floats alone.

Without any support or mountain foundation, it hangs suspended in the void, like a pavilion rising into the air, or a unique floating island between heaven and earth, exuding an aura of solitude and mystery.

"laugh!"

A long, faint sound of space tearing suddenly shattered this millennia-long silence. Within the misty fog, ripples spread through space, causing it to twist violently.

The next moment, a huge spatial passage, hundreds of feet wide, suddenly appeared, with dark blue spatial turbulence churning on the inner walls of the passage.

Immediately afterwards, four figures burst out of the passage, their forms streaking across the night sky like meteors, leaving a whooshing sound as they landed steadily on the floating land.

"This... is the cave dwelling of Emperor Tuoshe?"

As soon as Zhu Kun landed, he eagerly looked around, his gaze searching urgently for any opportunities or treasures within the cave. However, as he spread out his soul power, it suddenly froze, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Even with his peak Dou Sheng and Emperor Realm soul perception, he couldn't even fully detect a range of a thousand feet.

The fog obscured everything, making everything around us seem shrouded in an invisible barrier, blurring our vision and making further exploration impossible.

“The situation here is a bit strange; our senses will be suppressed to some extent.” Xiao Ling’s voice rang out calmly, his imperial aura emanating slightly, easily penetrating the layers of mist. “Let’s go that way.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't delay any longer. With a swift movement, he transformed into a pale golden streak of light, carrying Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan, and Xiao Xuan behind him. Like a meteor shower, he streaked through the void, quickly passing through the hazy space and heading towards the depths of the mist.

In just a few breaths, the four figures suddenly stopped and landed steadily on an ancient stone palace square.

As your gaze sweeps across the ancient square, towering stone pillars, thousands of feet tall, stand majestically on both sides, piercing the misty depths of the void.

The pillar is made of dark brown stone, and its surface is covered with dense runes. Despite the erosion of thousands of years, it still shows no signs of wear. A majestic and boundless aura, as if coexisting with heaven and earth, comes crashing down upon you.

At the top of each stone pillar, strange flames are steadily placed. The flames are of different colors, intertwined with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, and their shapes are even more bizarre. Some are like lotus platforms blooming, some are like serpents coiling, and some are like sparks. They are all the prototypes of the strange flames in the legends of the Dou Qi Continent.

From afar, thousands of strange flames are arranged in a staggered pattern, their shimmering light reflecting off the entire square in a kaleidoscope of colors, showcasing the supreme grandeur of the ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

Only at the innermost part of the square, two colossal pillars, far surpassing the other stone pillars and worthy of being called the kings of pillars, stood alone at the end. Their pillars were thicker and their runes were more mysterious, but their tops were empty, without a trace of strange fire rising. This contrasted sharply with the surrounding stone pillars that were full of flames, giving off a sense of inexplicable desolation.

"Such a large number of strange fires, and such a grand undertaking, are truly rare!"

Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan looked up at the magnificent scene before them, secretly marveling at it.

Having traversed the continent for many years, they had seen very few different kinds of strange fires, and had never seen such a spectacle of hundreds or thousands of strange fires arranged in formation. Even knowing that they were relics of an ancient emperor, they could not hide the shock in their hearts.

This is the Strange Fire Plaza, the sacred place where the ancient emperor Tuoshe once roamed the Dou Qi Continent, spending countless years collecting and storing the origins of all the strange fires in the world. Unfortunately, time is merciless, and after countless millennia, the origins of the strange fires treasured by the ancient emperor have long since been lost and dissipated into the void. The flames on the stone pillars now are merely remnants of fire-shaped phantoms, nothing more than empty shells, no longer possessing the terrifying power of a true strange fire capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, destroying the heavens and the earth.

Zhu Kun reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the towering stone pillars and the remaining strange flames, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly as he muttered to himself.
"Strange, where is the Emperor-grade embryonic pill?"

He was trapped in the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave for thousands of years and knew a lot about its secrets. Naturally, he knew about the Emperor-grade embryonic pill and even had some idea of ​​using it to break through to the Dou Di realm.

Xiao Ling showed no interest in the lingering glow of the strange fire in the plaza. After his gaze swept across the entire plaza, he looked away and landed on the ancient stone hall shrouded in thick fog at the end of the plaza.

At this moment, the stone hall was still hidden in the thick milky white mist, hazy and indistinct, its outline appearing and disappearing. No matter how Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan and the others urged their soul power, they could not see the slightest bit of the scenery inside the hall.

But the moment Xiao Ling's gaze, which contained a faint imperial aura, fell upon the stone hall, the dense fog surrounding it seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and spontaneously combusted without fire.

The pale golden starlight spread out in an instant, and the mist hissed and melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short while, the mist that had shrouded the stone palace for thousands of years completely dissipated, and the entire magnificent and mysterious ancient imperial stone palace was revealed to everyone without reservation.

As the mist that swirled around the stone hall completely dissipated, a massive, all-encompassing shadow suddenly enveloped the entire Strange Fire Plaza, causing the surrounding air to stagnate.

As everyone looked up, they saw a magnificent stone statue, ten thousand feet tall, suddenly appearing from the void, standing majestically between heaven and earth, its imposing presence awe-inspiring.

The stone statue depicts an old man with a simple and solemn face. His beard and hair flutter in the wind, and his eyes and brows exude a calm and majestic aura that overlooks all living beings. Although it is just a stone statue, it faintly exudes an aura of supreme power that reigns over heaven and earth and dominates all living beings. It is the overwhelming pressure that belongs only to the Dou Di, which has not dissipated in the slightest after tens of thousands of years. It clearly shows that the appearance of this stone statue is the master of this ancient emperor's cave, the legendary Tuoshe Ancient Emperor who roamed the Dou Qi Continent!
Countless shimmering orbs of light danced around the towering stone statue, their various colors intertwining, creating a dazzling spectacle from afar, as if surrounded by a sky full of stars, making the solemn statue appear even more sacred.

Upon closer inspection, those orbs of light revealed ancient scrolls encased within them, gleaming with a warm luster. This spiritual quality was enough to prove that these scrolls were all high-level Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills that were rare to find in a thousand years on the Dou Qi Continent and were enough to cause a frenzy among various forces!

But at this moment, these treasures, which are enough to shake the entire Dou Qi Continent, are floating around the stone statue like ordinary cabbages, numbering in the thousands and countless. Such a gesture is truly astonishing.

Xiao Ling's gaze merely swept across these Heavenly Rank scrolls, each capable of causing a continent to boil over, without lingering or showing the slightest attachment.

Thousands of high-level Heaven-rank combat techniques and cultivation methods, even if they are considered heaven-defying treasures by others, are nothing more than ordinary things to him, who has already reached the top of the Dou Di realm.

With his current Dou Di realm and strength, creating techniques and skills of equal or even greater power would be an easy task for him, so he naturally wouldn't take it to heart.

Xiao Ling withdrew his gaze from the Heavenly Rank Scroll. With a casual, slight sensing, the vast and unparalleled Emperor Realm soul power quietly spread out, like a gentle breeze brushing through every corner of the plaza.

In an instant, his senses precisely detected a very subtle spatial fluctuation behind the stone statue. The fluctuation was so weak that it was almost non-existent, and even Zhu Kun and the other two did not notice it.

Noticing this slight change, Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow, a hint of understanding flashing in his deep eyes, and a faint, almost imperceptible smile slowly curved his lips.

"Hehe, this space has been untouched for millennia, and no living person has ever been seen here..."

A deep, indifferent voice suddenly boomed, not from mid-air, but directly shaking the soul. Each word was like the resounding of an ancient bell, landing in the hearts of Xiao Ling and the other three, making the surrounding air instantly solidify.

The four of them immediately looked up and their gazes were all fixed on the shoulder of the towering stone statue. There was no one there before, but now there was an old figure standing there. He had appeared at some unknown time, without any spatial fluctuations, as if he had always been one with the stone statue.

The old man was dressed in a plain ancient robe, the fabric of which shimmered like ancient stars. It was unadorned, yet it exuded an aura of imperial majesty that could crush heaven and earth.

His long hair was loose and flowing with the dazzling light of twenty-two different kinds of flames. It was a unique long hair of different flames that only the ancient emperor Tuoshe, who devoured all kinds of flames and became a Dou Di, could possess. It was impossible for anyone in the world to replicate it.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the four people. His eyes were empty yet filled with an indifferent disdain for all living beings. Although the imperial aura emanating from his body was faint, it was rooted in this space. Even a peak Dou Sheng would be suppressed and tremble.

"Tuoshegudi! You actually died!"

Zhu Kun trembled violently, his aura at the peak of the Dou Sheng realm nearly becoming disordered. He was shocked and speechless, his eyes fixed on the figure. The face was exactly the same as the stone statue, and the unique strange fire and long hair were irrefutable proof!
Zhu Kun's horrified scream echoed across the square. Upon hearing it, Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan's expressions changed drastically, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

The two of them never expected that this legendary ancient emperor would actually remain in this cave in some form. Such secrecy was truly beyond everyone's expectations and was quite astonishing.

With this thought in mind, the two dared not be negligent in the slightest. They quietly restrained their auras and spread out their soul power, cautiously locking onto the old figure on the stone statue's shoulder. Their eyes were solemn, and their whole bodies exuded a faint sense of vigilance.

Even though the opponent seemed to have no intention of killing, facing a Dou Di who had lived for ten thousand years, they could not afford to be careless in the slightest, regardless of their position. Their Dou Qi circulated secretly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

"Heh... What's the point of you pretending to be the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe here, even though you're only at the Emperor-grade embryonic stage?"

Xiao Ling suddenly chuckled, his tone indifferent yet knowing.

His gaze calmly fell upon the aged figure, and he succinctly revealed the secret.

"I was still figuring out how to find you, but you showed up on your own initiative, which saved me a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing Xiao Ling's words that revealed the secret, Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan, and Xiao Xuan were all stunned, their faces full of astonishment. They had never expected that the figure that seemed to be the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe was actually just a nascent Emperor-grade pill.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the three of them suddenly had a strange and sharp glint in their eyes. They spread their soul power without reservation, and with scrutiny and solemnity, they slowly locked onto the old man's figure on the stone statue's shoulder, carefully probing for clues.

The "old man" on the stone statue was also suddenly stunned. His indifferent expression froze instantly, and then he suddenly raised his eyes, staring intently at Xiao Ling, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He urged his soul power to carefully probe Xiao Ling's aura. In just a moment, he sensed the vast imperial might that truly belonged to a Dou Di, which was above all things. His expression changed drastically, and his feigned indifference shattered completely, with an undisguised look of terror quickly creeping onto his face.

"This aura... how is this possible!" he exclaimed in shock, his voice filled with utter horror and disbelief. "You're actually a Dou Di! The opportunities on the Dou Qi Continent have long since dried up; there's simply no way anyone can break through to Dou Di anymore. This is absolutely impossible!" (End of Chapter)
