229: Secret news, Emperor Hun Tian is suspicious

Chapter 229: Secret News, Soul Emperor's Doubt

Soul Emperor turned sideways, and the elders also stopped and turned to look at the figure emerging from the black flames.

In his impression, the usually calm and indifferent Void Swallowing Flame, who was never surprised by anything, had a pale face and a slight tremor in his body, as if recalling something extremely terrifying.

Full of doubt, Soul Emperor did not rush to ask, but waited for Void Swallowing Flame to adjust his state.

After a while, Void Swallowing Flame's eyes showed a reminiscent look, and he said faintly, "Ask whatever you want to ask."

Soul Emperor frowned: "What did you mean when you said Soul Cang's words were all true?"

Could it be that Tuoshe Ancient Emperor truly became an Emperor through a flame?

Could a cluster of flames also break through to the Dou Emperor realm? How is that possible?

Such a thing, even to the well-informed Soul Emperor, still seemed somewhat unbelievable and unheard of.

Void Swallowing Flame looked at him, and instead of answering, asked: "There are a total of twenty-three types of Heavenly Flames in the world, but no one knows the name of the first-ranked Heavenly Flame even to this day. Do you know why?"

In the great hall, there was dead silence.

Could it be… a flash of light crossed Soul Emperor's mind, but he did not speak it aloud.

An elder below suddenly exclaimed, "Could that first-ranked Heavenly Flame be Tuoshe Ancient Emperor?"

Soul Emperor's gaze swept over him, with a hint of seeking confirmation, and then landed on Void Swallowing Flame.

Void Swallowing Flame nodded: "That's right."

Heavenly Flames themselves are born from the power of heaven and earth, each possessing unique abilities and power, making them the kings of all flames.

But from a certain day, after a small cluster of flames devoured the first Heavenly Flame, all Heavenly Flames in the world suffered a terrible fate.

Later, this cluster of flames built a plaza, taking itself as the main body, commanding all flames, gathering the power of twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames, breaking through to become an Emperor, and publicly declared himself Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

After breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor did not release the twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames but imprisoned them on the Heavenly Flame Plaza.

Tuoshe Ancient Emperor himself spent his days refining pills until one day he suddenly sensed the world's rejection. So, after setting up restrictions in the Gu Emperor Cave, he shattered the void and departed.

Unexpectedly, inside the cave, all objects were affected by the Dou Emperor's aura and gradually gained sentience.

Among them, the emperor pill, which Tuoshe Ancient Emperor had not yet completely refined, was the most active in sentience and the strongest in power. It conspired with many Heavenly Flames, and finally, gathering everyone's strength, they opened the cave's door, and many Heavenly Flames rushed out of the restrictions.

The emperor pill had originally made an agreement with Void Swallowing Flame and Nether Lotus Demon Flame.

However, they did not expect that Tuoshe Ancient Emperor had many tricks. Even after rushing out of the cave, he still had a trump card, which was to erase memories.

Over the years, although many Heavenly Flames had escaped the control of the Gu Emperor Cave, their own memories were missing, and they had forgotten their agreement with the emperor pill.

Even powerful beings like Void Swallowing Flame only occasionally had fragmented memories flash in his mind, and once he tried to think deeply, he would suffer the pain of his soul shattering.

And Soul Cang's words just now struck Void Swallowing Flame's heart, completely allowing his fragmented pieces to gain clues, connect and integrate, forming a complete memory, and the erased memory was also restored.

Void Swallowing Flame did not hide his confusion, and said in a dazed tone: "After recovering my memories, I am actually more curious about what happened inside the Gu Emperor Cave. Why does Soul Cang know so much about it?"

And these words also expressed the thoughts of everyone in the great hall.

Everyone present was Soul Cang's elder, older and more experienced.

However, they knew nothing about Void Swallowing Flame or Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

Even some secret information was not recorded in ancient books.

An elder hesitated: "Could it be that Soul Cang is the reincarnation of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor? Or did he receive the Ancient Emperor's inheritance?"

Soul Emperor's face darkened.

Although he was conceited, he never thought he could give birth to a Dou Emperor.

However, the latter phrase, Ancient Emperor's inheritance, did make Soul Emperor ponder.

His vision blurred slightly, as if recalling the coming-of-age ceremony back then, when Soul Cang suddenly stood up at the family ceremony and expressed his desire for an opportunity.

At that time, Soul Cang's strength was only at the early Dou King stage.

Void Swallowing Flame narrowed his eyes and said: "That possibility cannot be ruled out. Soul Cang's alchemy ability at that time did not match his age at all, and Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's attainments in alchemy were not low."

Soul Emperor's heart sank. If that was the case, Soul Cang might have truly stumbled upon Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Does Soul Cang really have other ways to open the Gu Emperor Cave?"

Void Swallowing Flame did not answer immediately. After a moment of contemplation, he hesitated: "Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was a man of few words; he generally wouldn't tell us too much. But if he truly left an inheritance, there might be a way to open the cave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the many elders of the Soul Clan immediately became anxious.

"Clan Leader! We can't wait any longer!"

"We must act! If Soul Cang really manages to open the cave, all our efforts over the years will be in vain!"

Looking at the agitated crowd, Soul Emperor was not a indecisive or timid person. His face suddenly darkened, and he said solemnly: "Gather our forces and prepare to depart for the Black-Corner Region immediately!"

"Yes, Clan Leader!"

The elders accepted the order, their faces filled with joy.

As long as they could obtain the opportunity to become an Emperor inside the Gu Emperor Cave, Soul Emperor would have a chance to break through to the Dou Emperor realm. Once he achieved the Dou Emperor realm, the Soul Clan would be able to continue for another ten thousand years.

Their old bones were willing to sacrifice for the clan.

At this moment, among the many elders who had turned to leave, two heard their names and stopped.

"Soul Void Son, Soul Origin Life, you two stay," Soul Emperor commanded.

The two had always been at odds, so they exchanged a glance and turned their heads away in displeasure.

…

Black-Corner Region.

After some time, Canaan Academy, from people to objects, was all moved away. In some nearby cities, Lin Fang led the Cang Alliance people to give notice; those who wished to leave left, and those who didn't were not forced.

At this moment, above the former site of Canaan Academy, numerous figures stood in the air.

Gu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the ground below and looked at the young man beside him, asking: "Is the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave right below here?"

Around them, gazes gathered.

The Lei Clan Leader, Xiao Yan, Xiao Chen, and the old monster from the Dan Tower, all looked on with anticipation.

Because this area, compared to the prosperous Central Plains, looked utterly unremarkable.

Would a Dou Emperor of a generation place his cave in this location?

Soul Cang smiled: "Naturally. It's fine if you don't believe me; everything will become clear once you see it for yourselves."

The Lei Clan Leader, being impatient, said loudly: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's all attack!"

Gu Yuan laughed: "Come on, let's all see today just how extraordinary the legendary Gu Emperor Cave truly is."

After speaking, he swung his hand and unleashed a burst of Dou Qi energy downwards.

This seemed to be a signal, as others successively attacked. Dou Qi energy of various colors, like rivers flowing into the sea, grand in momentum and powerful in force, all landed on the ground.

In an instant, the ground cracked inch by inch, and a wide fissure spread outwards. Countless amounts of earth were annihilated by the energy impact, and even dust vanished into thin air.

The crimson magma below quickly emerged but was then flung away by the energy, soaring into the sky.

The enormous commotion attracted several figures from the Lizard Clan below, who rushed out to observe. But upon seeing the terrifying array in the sky, they fled into the distance without looking back.

As more and more magma was stirred up, the surrounding air gradually became hot, and a somewhat ethereal outline gradually appeared before everyone.

Everyone present was exceptionally skilled, and their eyesight was naturally sharp. They recognized it as the spatial barrier at a glance.

Everything was just as Soul Cang had said: beneath this area, a mysterious space was indeed hidden.
