Chapter 267 Source
"However, creating a Doudi is not the only way."
"Creating a Dou Emperor?"
The air seemed to freeze after hearing Tong Rui's words. Even Xiao Xuan opened his mouth and stared blankly at Tong Rui in front of him.
“I tried, but”
"Your way is stupid." Tong Rui rarely said something irrelevant to Xiao Xuan.
The air was frozen for a long while, and just now it showed a slight sign of slowing down. After experiencing the confusion of their brains stopping working, everyone woke up and felt a sense of absurdity. Creating a Dou Di?
Even if these words came from Tong Rui's mouth, they were totally unbelievable. For tens of thousands of years, no Dou Di strongman had been born in the entire world. This made people clearly understand that the level in the legend was too illusory.
"Are you kidding?"
Yan Jin opened his mouth, and his voice unconsciously became a little dry. Although he basically held a completely unbelievable attitude towards these words, for some reason, when he asked the questions, a little hope actually surged in his heart.
And if what Tong Rui said is true, then the number of people who become emperors on the continent will definitely double!
"Tong Rui, you can't joke now, right?"
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, carefully considering his words, and said softly, if Tong Rui really had such a method, then based on his understanding of him, he would not have stayed at this level for so long.
Gu Yuan did not say anything. He just stared at Tong Rui, wanting to hear words of confirmation from him.
Seeing everyone's questioning looks, Tong Rui couldn't help but grin and said, "Don't worry, I don't have the time to tease you guys."
"Can you explain it more clearly?" Gu Yuan said with trembling hands.
Tong Rui slowly raised his head, his eyes looking towards the strange fire square in the ancient emperor's cave. After a moment of silence, he said, "In fact, the emperor-grade young pill is not the most precious thing in the ancient emperor's cave."
"Tong Rui, you mean that thing." Xiao Yan said thoughtfully, his finger pointing at the Strange Fire Square floating in the sky.
Xiao Yan glanced at the strange fire pillars around the square, but still did not sense any energy fluctuations. After looking around, his eyes could only stop at the stone statue that was ten thousand feet tall.
"What's weird here?" Lei Ying, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask after looking for a while and not finding anything.
Tong Rui stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the towering stone statue of the ancient emperor, and said, "Do you know the origin or identity of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and shook their heads in silence. Tuoshe Gudi was not a person of the same era as them, and they had only seen the name of Tuoshe Gudi in ancient books. They had no idea about his origins and identity.
"As far as I know, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is extremely mysterious. No one knows his origins. In those days, many heroes emerged on the continent. Many people at the top were trying their best to impact the Doudi level, but in the end, no one succeeded. It was at that time that Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, who had always been unknown, suddenly appeared."
Gu Yuan looked thoughtful as he recalled the extremely ancient records of his clan.
"It is said that when Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was promoted to Dou Emperor, two suns appeared in the sky, the heaven and earth collapsed, and an endless sea of fire fell from the sky, covering nearly half of the Dou Qi Continent, alarming all the strong men at the time."
“After experiencing the earth-shaking scene of his advancement to the Dou Emperor, the ancient emperor Natu She disappeared again. Moreover, logically speaking, since he has been promoted to the Dou Emperor level, the members of his family who have the same bloodline as him should also activate the power of their bloodline in an instant, and their strength will surge to a very terrifying level in a very short time.”
"Those who enjoy the bloodline of the first generation of Doudi will benefit the most. Therefore, if a new ancient race appears, it will definitely cause a sensation in the Douqi Continent. However, this kind of thing has not happened."
"That means that Emperor Tuoshe doesn't have any clansmen, or even no one who has a bloodline similar to his?" Xiao Yan frowned and said.
In the Doudi Continent, the continuation of bloodline has always been very important, especially for such peerless strong people, who need bloodline to pass on. But how come this Tushe Ancient Emperor is all alone?
"Well, that should be the case, but it is not ruled out that no one has discovered it." Gu Yuan nodded, then looked at Zhu Kun and said, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
“About the same.”
Tong Rui put his hands behind his back and stared at the huge stone statue. He suddenly changed the subject and said, "There are twenty-three kinds of strange fire on the Strange Fire List. They are the strongest flames in the world. But do you know what the name of the strange fire ranked first on the Strange Fire List is?"
Xiao Yan’s heart was shocked. The first Strange Fire on the Strange Fire List, let alone others, even he, who had extremely good knowledge of Strange Fires, knew nothing about it, because the first Strange Fire had no name!
There are twenty-three strange fires on the Strange Fire List, but the first position is blank!
No one knows what the number one strange fire is, but the strange thing is that many alchemists have a mysterious intuition that there should be something above the Void Devouring Flame, but they don't know it.
The first strange fire is like a mystery, mysterious and unpredictable, no one can see it.
"Senior Tong Rui, do you know what the first Strange Fire on the Strange Fire List is?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Tong Rui smiled strangely and said, "You once asked Ah Xing whether the database of the universe records the locations of all the different fires on the different fire list, but the answer it gave you at that time was that all the different fires except the first one could be located. In this world, where is there a first different fire?"
This answer once again stunned everyone. They frowned and wanted to refute, but suddenly realized that they really didn't know what the number one strange fire was. Could it be that the so-called number one strange fire was really just a legend?
"Everything created by nature has its own spirit, and so does the strange fire."
Tong Rui seemed to know the shock in everyone's heart, and said leisurely: "As far as I know, there was a strange fire that was born between heaven and earth. It took a thousand years to form, ten thousand years to gather spirits, and ten thousand years to cultivate. Somewhere in the dark, it has slightly mutated. As we all know, after forming, ordinary strange fires rarely take the initiative to leave the place of birth, but this fire is different. After it has spiritual intelligence, it walks along the underground magma, wandering underground for a thousand years, and living by swallowing fire."
"And the fires it devoured were all ranked on the list of strange fires. All twenty-one of them were consumed by it."
"The ability to devour. It seems that only the Void Devouring Flame can do this, right?" Xiao Yan hesitated. "In the strange fire, it is like a shrunken human empire. Even if you are born rich and hold a high position, you may still be overthrown. Devouring each other is an instinct for the strange fire. However, generally speaking, most of them are the strong devouring the weak."
Tong Rui sighed softly and said, "This is also what makes this fire different from others. It swallows fire, knows how to seek good fortune and avoid danger, and takes the weak as its priority. After it spent thousands of years swallowing twenty different fires, even the natural overlords among the fires, such as the Void Swallowing Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, had to prostrate themselves before it and pay homage."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but take a breath. Strange fire is extremely rare in the world. What would it mean to devour twenty strange fires?
If it were humans, even if they could find these strange fires, who would dare to devour twenty of the strongest and fiercest strange fires?
This kind of thing would probably be difficult to accomplish even if it were Xiao Yan today.
“Tong Rui, you mean the so-called No. 1 on the Strange Fire List? There is no specific name. Whoever can break through the shackles and stand out from the cruel devouring of the Strange Fire can be called the No. 1 on the Strange Fire List?” Xiao Yan understood something at this moment and said.
"This is the truth. However, the swallowing of the strange fire will also have a great probability of causing the two flames to collide, which will trigger self-destruction. Therefore, the only way to successfully swallow the remaining twenty-one strange fires and still survive successfully is , just now have the qualification to become the so-called number one in the strange fire." Zhu Kun said.
Xiao Yan nodded silently. Just using the Burning Technique to devour and refine the strange fire was already quite dangerous. What's more, the devouring of the strange fires was all based on instinct. The chance of failure was even greater. And that one strange fire was able to survive after devouring twenty-one kinds of strange fires. It had to be said that this in itself was an unbelievable miracle.
I'm afraid that there are only a few examples of this kind of thing in the entire history of the Douqi Continent.
"I didn't expect that the number one on the Strange Fire List actually has such a secret." Everyone sighed softly. It was obviously the first time they knew that the so-called number one Strange Fire was not a specific flame, but a most powerful Strange Fire condensed from the fusion of twenty-two kinds of Strange Fires!
“After the strange fire was accomplished, it called itself the Emperor Flame, and then cultivated for another thousand years before it broke through the world.”
"After Emperor Yan emerged from the world, he also had another title on Dou Qi Continent."
Tong Rui turned around and looked at the thousand-foot-tall stone statue of the Ancient Emperor behind him. His soft murmurs were like thunder, booming in the ears of Xiao Yan and the others, making them stunned for a moment.
"People at that time called him Tuoshe Gudi."
"Tuoshe Ancient Emperor... is the number one strange fire on the strange fire list..."
The sounds in the Strange Fire Square were once again completely silent at this moment. Everyone's faces were extremely excited, and it was obvious that they were shocked by this extremely incredible news and could not recover.
Zhu Kun also understood the shock in everyone's heart, and said nothing, but just raised his head and stared at the huge stone statue with a complicated expression. No one could have imagined that the last Doudi strongman in this Douqi Continent was not a human or a demon beast, but a flame born from heaven and earth.
"Gulu."
In the silent square, someone suddenly swallowed hard, and the rest of the people gradually woke up and looked at each other, with disbelief still in their eyes.
"Brother Tong Rui, are you telling the truth?" Gu Yuan's composure was greatly dissipated by the shock. He took a few deep breaths and said.
"I am almost 20,000 years old this year. If you are to count by age, you are not even as good as my grandchildren. Do you think you know these ancient news better than me on this Douqi Continent?"
Hearing this, everyone smiled bitterly. There was no need for Tong Rui to deceive them, so after experiencing the initial shock, they gradually accepted this hard-to-believe fact.
"But what does this have to do with what you said about advancing to the Dou Emperor?" Gu Yuan raised his eyes and brought the topic back to the most important thing. No matter what the origins of the ancient emperor Natuluo were, what they needed to care about now was how to compete with the Soul Emperor!
"There are two most precious things in the Ancient Emperor's Cave. One is the Emperor Grade Young Pill obtained by Emperor Hun Tian, and the other is..." Speaking of this, Zhu Kun paused, staring at the thousand-foot-tall stone statue in front of him, and said word by word: "The Origin of the Emperor left by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe!"
"The Origin of the Emperor?!" Everyone was shocked and murmured.
"It can be considered as the inheritance of the ancient emperor Tuoshe. This is the most precious thing in the ancient emperor's cave. Compared with it, the emperor-grade young pill is a bit inferior."
Tong Rui smiled, looked at Xiao Xuan and said, "Back then, you were almost successful in the Heavenly Tomb, but you lacked some of the origin."
"Where is the origin of the emperor? How can we obtain this inherited power?" Xiao Xuan's face was also flashing with excitement, but as soon as he said this, he felt something was wrong.
He immediately said, "Brother Tong Rui, please don't misunderstand. If you don't tell us about this, none of us will know. If we are to say who is most qualified to receive this inheritance, you must be the first choice."
Gu Yuan knew in his heart that if what Tong Rui said was true, then the Origin of the Emperor must be something extremely precious. Such power would tempt everyone in the world. He was also worried that his previous words would make Tong Rui mistakenly think that he was coveting the Origin of the Emperor.
"You don't have to say that. I really have no interest in the Emperor's Origin. Otherwise, I wouldn't be polite to you and would have refined and absorbed it long ago."
Tong Rui continued, "How could the inheritance of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor be easily obtained by anyone?"
Gu Yuan was startled, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I wonder where the origin of this emperor is?"
Tong Rui walked towards the stone statue, patted it with his hands, and said, "It's inside, but no one can get in. Even if you and I attack with all our strength, you can't smash it to pieces."
Upon hearing this, a group of people gathered around and touched the stone statue of the ancient emperor. The touch was not too good, but there was nothing too strange about it. No matter how they touched it, it felt like just an ordinary piece of stone.
"boom!"
Lei Ying on the side touched it and suddenly punched the statue hard. However, a muffled sound was heard, and Xiao Yan and others were surprised to see that Lei Ying flew backwards across the square for hundreds of feet before he managed to stabilize his body in a panic.
"There is something strange indeed."
Seeing this scene, everyone no longer had any doubts. Lei Ying's punch was enough to shatter a mountain, but when it landed on the stone statue, it did not cause any damage. Instead, it bounced back so badly. This was not normal.

"However, creating a Doudi is not the only way."
"Creating a Dou Emperor?"
The air seemed to freeze after hearing Tong Rui's words. Even Xiao Xuan opened his mouth and stared blankly at Tong Rui in front of him.
“I tried, but”

The air was frozen for a long while, and just now it showed a slight sign of slowing down. After experiencing the confusion of their brains stopping working, everyone woke up and felt a sense of absurdity. Creating a Dou Di?
