Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 217 Zhu Kun's Scheme

Even with the greatest trust, always leave some room for maneuver. Remember the saying: A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall.

As Zhu Kun finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh. He had been blinded by greed back then, which led him to this predicament, where he had been trapped in the ancient emperor's cave for ten thousand years.

With his strength and bloodline talent, if he had chosen to wait for the ancient family's Dou Di bloodline to wither before stealing the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, he would probably have already opened the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

Whether it was ten thousand years ago or now, Zhu Kun is very confident. He considers himself the strongest in the Dou Qi Continent, with the strength of a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, plus an Emperor-level soul, the power of the Ancient Void Dragon body, and his mastery of spatial power. Even a true Dou Di expert, he is confident that he can hold them off for a while.

Although he will probably be skinned alive and have his tendons pulled out in a short while, at least below the Dou Di level, probably no one will be his match.

Unless it's someone like the Pure Lotus Demon Saint who possesses the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, or someone like Xiao Jue or Zi Yan who will break through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng in the future, only these people can contend with him.

After all, although the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon is powerful, it is not as good as that of the Ancient Dragon Phoenix.

"There's one more thing," Long Yan asked, "What exactly is the Sealed Land? What's the entanglement within it?"

Zhu Kun was slightly taken aback. After a moment's thought, he asked, "You mean the Tomb of the Gods?"

"In ancient times, the place where the Dou Di fell used an unparalleled formation to gather the source energy of the Dou Qi Continent, forcibly sealing the powerful members of the Dark Race and eradicating them completely. Now, the Dark Race probably only has some weaklings with thin bloodlines left."

"That place isn't anything special. I went in once when I was a five-star Dou Sheng. Although others need to be seven-star Dou Sheng to get in, to get out, you need the strength of a nine-star Dou Sheng and the soul of an Emperor."

"But as the Ancient Dragon of the Void, I have an extremely strong grasp of spatial power, so I came out from there when I was a Seven Star Battle Saint."

"It's a void inside, nothing exists there. All the Dou Di entered it and perished together with the powerful members of the dark race. A few escaped, but they were severely injured by those ancient Dou Di. Later, some of those who entered it obtained Origin Qi."

"And that person's name was Tuosheguti!"

"Of the three Origin Qi, he refined one to help him break through to the Dou Di realm, while the remaining two are in the Ancient Emperor's cave, namely the Emperor-grade embryonic pill and the inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor."

Zhu Kun smiled faintly and said, "When the time comes, we'll be father-in-law and son-in-law. I'll consume the Emperor-grade Nascent Pill, and you'll receive the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe."

"Aside from the Void Devouring Flame, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, all the other strange flames are within your body. I'm afraid that in the current Dou Qi Continent, there is absolutely no one more suitable than you to receive the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe."

"In the future, I can even help you obtain those three different flames, making you the new Tuoshe Ancient Emperor."

"We'll have to wait until the ancient emperor's cave is opened."

Long Yan chuckled and said, "Give me the secret technique. Xiao Jue is already a late-stage three-star Dou Sheng, and he still has half the energy left from the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. I'll have him go to Ancient Dragon Island in a bit and take care of those three evil dragons while he's at it."

"Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit..."

Zhu Kun was astonished. A single Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, regardless of talent, could allow one to reach the Dou Sheng realm as long as they possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon or the Ancient Dragon-Phoenix.

Moreover, his talent is in no way inferior to the most perfect divine bloodline of the Dou Di family. If he can obtain Origin Qi, he will almost certainly become a Dou Di.

Even if there's no hope of breaking through to Dou Di, with the bloodline of the ancient dragon and phoenix, reaching the late stage of the nine-star Dou Sheng would still allow one to face a Dou Di directly. In any case, if one can't win, one can always run away.

The Ancient Dragon bloodline's mastery of spatial power, combined with the extreme speed of the Ancient Phoenix's Wind and Thunder Wings.

At the same time, with the powerful bloodlines of two ancient magical beast overlords, the ancient dragon-phoenix, which is only at the half-emperor level, already has a physique that is no weaker than that of a Dou Di.

Furthermore, the ancient dragon-phoenix can live for tens of thousands of years. Although it is not as ancient as the Xuanwu, if it has the Flame of Life, it can live for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

The Flame of Life can grant humans vitality comparable to that of magical beasts, and one can only imagine how terrifying a magical beast would be if it obtained the Flame of Life.

Having obtained the secret technique, Long Yan left the underground magma world.

But what he didn't know was that after he left, Zhu Kun murmured, "Son-in-law, I'm not trying to trick you. After all, with your talent, you'll probably have an Emperor-level soul by the time the Ancient Emperor's Cave opens."

In ancient times, some records about the ancient emperor's cave still remain, which are related to the sealed place, where there are messages left behind by the ancient emperor Tuoshe.

In this era, only Zhu Kun knew about those things, because he was the last one to enter that place and erased the information.

Therefore, Gu Yuan, who later entered the sealed land, was most likely unaware of these matters, since he didn't even know about the legacy of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

……

Meanwhile, outside, Xiao Jue was holding Fire Spirit Fairy and giving Yao Xue a practical combat lesson. It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before she would also need to personally participate in the battle.

The latest novel is first published here!

The Supreme Elder of the Yan Clan, her eyes filled with alluring charm, nestled in Xiao Jue's arms and softly asked, "When do you plan to have Long Yan refine the Fire Emperor's Profound Pill?"

"We'll be preparing to refine it in a while."

Xiao Jue kneaded it with his hands and said, "After all, it is a profound pill with spirituality close to that of a ninth-grade golden pill. The difficulty is not low, and the materials are too precious. If it fails to be refined, no one can accept such consequences."

"In the current Dou Qi Continent, apart from Long Yan, probably only Yao Dan has the potential to successfully refine that kind of spiritual ninth-grade Xuan Dan."

"People like Hun Xuzi, Yao Wanhuo, and Shennong, whom you killed, none of them have this ability."

After all, it's a pill that can guarantee a 100% breakthrough from an eight-star Dou Sheng to a nine-star Dou Sheng. Even the pill itself probably doesn't have much confidence in that. If he could do it, he probably would have already broken through to an eight-star Dou Sheng long ago.

Moreover, according to the future pharmacopoeia, Yao Wanhuo has not seen the emergence of Xuan Dan for hundreds of years. It is likely that even the alchemy skills of the pill are not as good as Long Yan's.

"The Flame Clan's Fire Emperor Profound Pill ingredients can only be gathered to make up four sets of ingredients, since a portion of the main ingredients are used to refine a ninth-grade golden pill."

Fire Spirit Fairy said somewhat helplessly, "Moreover, the most likely outcome of successfully refining the pills is that the clan leader will take them first, as his breakthrough to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm is the most important thing."

"In other words, you need to refine two pills out of the four ingredients for the Fire Emperor Profound Pill in order to get one of mine."

"Isn't there also the Divine Fire Nine Profound Pill?"

Xiao Jue kneaded the pink protrusion and said amidst the Fire Spirit Fairy's coquettish voice, "Now that I have the Flame of Life and the ingredients for the Divine Fire Nine Profound Pill, I can barely say that I have an inexhaustible supply."
