Chapter 109: Negotiating Terms with Soul Emperor and Getting Confirmation

On the Dou Qi Continent, everyone knows one thing: anything related to the word “Emperor” is never simple.

For example, the Soul Clan’s current status and strength are inextricably linked to a Dou Emperor from their ancestry.

Currently, the entire Dou Qi Continent has not seen a newly advanced Dou Emperor for over ten thousand years.

Even powerful figures like Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan are stuck at the peak of Nine-Star Dou Saints, unable to take that final step.

In this situation, everyone’s hopes are gathered around a distant legend.

The person who left this legend was the last Dou Emperor of the Dou Qi Continent, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

It is said that Tuoshe Ancient Emperor left a cave, and within it, there are secrets to becoming an Emperor.

However, to find this cave, one must first gather eight pieces of tuoshe ancient emperor jade.

Only then can the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave be found and opened.

News about Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is extremely secretive in the outside world.

But this place is different; this is the Soul Clan! The Soul Realm!

Therefore, when the four words “Tuoshe Ancient Emperor” came out of Soul Cang’s mouth, everyone present stood up.

Whether it was the disciples of the Soul Clan, the Elders, or even Void Swallowing Flame and Soul Emperor.

They all stood up, and intense gazes, like spotlights, gathered on Soul Cang.

Yun Yun was slow to react, stunned for a long time before slowly getting up, her face filled with intense shock.

Is this kind of news… something an outsider like me should be hearing? Will I be silenced?

If I want to save myself, is marrying Soul Cang the only option left?

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Yun Yun’s mind, making her a bit confused.

In comparison, though the Soul Clan members were shocked, most of them remained calm.

Soul Fury jumped up, pointing at Soul Cang and shouting, “You’re crazy! I think you’re truly crazy! How dare you blab such news? Do you think everyone is a fool?!”

Soul Cliff said with a cold expression, “If you don’t have any results, at most you just admit your mistake. Do you need to tell such a big lie?”

“Soul Cang, apologize to the Elders and the Clan Leader now!” For the first time, anger surged on Soul Jade’s calm face.

Does he want to steal my thunder by talking nonsense?!

On the Elder’s seats directly opposite, fierce auras erupted, pressing down on Soul Cang, and several Elders accused him.

“Soul Cang, do you want to treat us all as fools?”

“Don’t think that just because Soul Void Son is backing you, you can do whatever you want in the Soul Clan!”

“If you lack ability, step down. Why make grand pronouncements for a moment of glory?!”

…

Soul Void Son, standing at the very front, twitched his eyebrow fiercely. Why drag me into this?

Did I teach him to say that?!

He thought of his previous overtures to Soul Cang and was filled with endless regret.

He should have realized long ago that a fellow who had not received any proper education since childhood, if he stumbled upon an opportunity, it was already good; what cultivation value could he possibly have?

…

Above the high platform.

“Soul Cang, this is not something you can joke about.” Soul Emperor’s tone was low, his face tense, and his powerful aura caused the space around him to collapse.

At this moment, Soul Emperor fully displayed his strength and profound background, causing many Elders present to change their expressions.

Even those excellent disciples of the family, at this moment, looking at the enraged Soul Emperor, shrank their necks, lowered their heads in fear, and dared not look at him.

However…

Standing at the edge of these people, Soul Cang always held his head high, his expression unchanged, and even a faint smile appeared on his face: “Father, without verification, how do you know if what I said is true or false?”

“There is no Tuoshe Ancient Emperor…” Soul Emperor’s brows furrowed deeply, and he stopped mid-sentence, realizing that it involved some secrets, and swallowed his words back.

However, he remembered someone.

That was Void Swallowing Flame!

Soul Emperor turned his head: “Do you think it’s possible?”

Facing the inquiry, Void Swallowing Flame also showed deep confusion on his face, especially when he thought about memories related to the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave in his mind, a strong pain would arise.

“Ah!!” Void Swallowing Flame clutched his head in pain, his face twisted, and the sky behind him was filled with endless black flames.

After a long while, the black flames surged and merged into Void Swallowing Flame’s body. He met Soul Emperor’s gaze: “Under a stroke of luck, this possibility cannot be ruled out.”

Could it be true… Soul Emperor suddenly turned his head, a strong surge of excitement and fervor appearing in his eyes: “Soul Cang, what evidence can you provide?”

As soon as the words fell, before Soul Cang could react, the Elders and Soul Jade and others were all stunned, with surprised expressions on their faces.

Why ask that?

Could it be that the Clan Leader truly believes Soul Cang’s words? Did he really find the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave?

Soul Jade staggered and sat back in his chair, his eyes a little blank. How could Soul Cang possibly achieve something like this?

How much luck would that require!

Soul Cang’s lips curved: “Father, is this something you want everyone to hear?”

After speaking, he felt the cold gazes of the surrounding Elders and family disciples.

Soul Cang became even more smug in his heart; the torment of hearing half of such a secret is not easy to bear…

After listening to Soul Cang’s words, Soul Emperor became even more convinced that Soul Cang was truly confident. He raised his hand and grabbed, and Soul Cang immediately appeared before him.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the figures of Soul Emperor, Soul Cang, and Void Swallowing Flame disappeared.

…

“You can speak now.” Soul Emperor’s gaze was fixed on the young man in front of him.

Void Swallowing Flame was present because Soul Emperor needed him to help verify the truth.

After all, Soul Emperor himself had never truly seen the appearance of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave.

“I want a soul crystal.” Soul Cang said calmly. The more critical the moment, the more he needed to appear composed.

Because this was the time to leave a deep impression on Soul Emperor. Only by changing his impression of himself could subsequent matters unfold more smoothly.

Soul Cang didn’t care if the news of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave was exposed, because he indeed needed a sufficiently strong achievement.

On the other hand, Soul Emperor had not gathered all eight pieces of tuoshe ancient emperor jade at this moment, so even if he went, he couldn’t open the cave.

Soul Emperor was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected a Two-Star Dou Zun to stand before him and calmly negotiate terms.

He said in a deep voice, “Soul Void Son has already applied for you. You will naturally get it once you defeat Soul Fury. Or do you not have the confidence to defeat him?”

“Soul Fury? What is he? I will definitely kill him.” Being questioned by Soul Emperor, Soul Cang remained very calm. “This is a separate reward I’m asking for. I am an Alchemist and need powerful soul force.”

“Give it to him.” Soul Emperor said to Void Swallowing Flame without hesitation.

A pure crystal emerged from Void Swallowing Flame’s body and was given to Soul Cang.

Putting away the soul crystal, Soul Cang simply described the giant pair of eyes outside the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor and his own feelings, but he did not mention the specific location.

After all, he wasn’t stupid; if he told, his usefulness would be gone.

“Based on your description, why do I feel that figure is somewhat familiar, seemingly a bit like Candle Dragon of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan.” Soul Emperor pondered for a moment.

However, this old fellow seems to have disappeared for thousands of years, no wonder he couldn’t be found; he actually ran to the vicinity of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave.

Just then, Void Swallowing Flame raised his hand and sent Soul Cang out, leaving only Soul Emperor.

“What is it?” Seeing this, Soul Emperor was puzzled.

Void Swallowing Flame said solemnly, “I can now confirm that Soul Cang truly found the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave!”

“Why?” Soul Emperor was stunned.

Void Swallowing Flame shook his head: “I cannot say the specific reason, but I can confirm that what he said is true.”

Because he suddenly remembered a promise, one party of which was a fellow who called himself Candle Dragon, and the other party was the Nether Lotus Demon Flame.
