Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 265: Gu Yuan Arrives, Method to Break Through Dou Di ( Words)
If some alchemists who have been searching for strange fire all their lives in vain knew this news, they would probably cry to death.

All I can say is that some things depend on fate. Without the fate of the protagonist, it is not suitable to practice the Burning Technique. Otherwise, just finding the strange fire would be enough to stump most people.

In the original novel, Han Feng searched for the strange fire for so long but got nothing. Finally, he received news and set his sights on the strange fire of Canaan College, but failed because of Xiao Yan.

But speaking of it, Han Feng still has the Sea Heart Flame, hehe, he can avenge Yao Chen.

In this strong list competition, Yue Ling stole the show. Three of her students entered the top ten of the strong list, and they occupied the first, second and third places respectively. This was unprecedented in the inner courtyard.

Among them, Qinglin was the most surprising. Relying on her hypnotic eyes, Qinglin, whose cultivation level was only three stars in the Dou Ling realm, defeated all the strong men in the inner courtyard and won the third place. Because of her extremely strange means of controlling people, coupled with the enchanting temperament that she inadvertently revealed, many people even now call little Qinglin the Green Snake Enchantress.

But Qinglin didn't care about it at all.

After the Strong List Competition, the top ten people on the Strong List gathered in front of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower according to the request of the Great Elder Su Qian.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yun did not participate in this strong list competition, perhaps because of his injuries or because of the trauma he had towards Zi Yan.

Everyone who entered the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower seemed very excited. The Heart Fire Origin Body Forging at the bottom of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower was very useful for most academies, especially for Dou Ling like them, as it could pave the way for them to become Dou Wang.

Only Zi Yan seemed a little impatient. This Heart Fire Origin Body Tempering didn't have much effect on her, a Warcraft that was about to break through to the Douhuang level, but it was better than nothing. It was free anyway, and Zi Yan wouldn't object. Although she was simple-minded, she could still tell the difference between these things.

Su Qian was already used to Zi Yan's reaction, and said to Xun Er and the others, "Next, you must follow me closely. Don't walk around when you get to the lower floors, and don't leave the team. Even if you hear any noise, don't pay attention to it, otherwise I will disqualify you. Do you understand?"

Although this made everyone a little confused, they still nodded.

Inside the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower is a quiet tower. Usually it is full of students who come here to practice, but today it is empty.

The stairs leading to the bottom floor were not the same stairs that students usually used. Su Qian led Xun'er and others to walk along the edge of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower for a few minutes before they found a dimly lit passage that meandered downwards.

Going down along this passage, through the constantly winding stairs, the few people could clearly feel the anger and temperature rising around them.

What was most shocking was the tight defense of the stairs. Almost every time they walked down a distance, they would find a guard who looked like a sculpture. Some of them even had the aura of a Dou Wang.

Those who know understand that this is going to the bottom level of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, while those who don’t probably think that Su Qian is going to take a few people to the Heavenly Prison.

This somewhat depressing and silent journey lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before it finally came to an end.

"We're here." Su Qian's voice rang out, cheering everyone up.

Several people rushed out of the dim passage, and what appeared before them was an extremely wide and empty square. It was much more spacious than any floor above, and without those numerous training rooms, it looked empty.

Xun'er felt that her strange fire seemed to be stirring, as if it had sensed food, but she suppressed it very well, otherwise it would have scared the Fallen Heart Flame.

The Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame was originally the fourth most powerful strange fire, and through the Burning Technique it was fused with the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire. Now it actually has some of the feeling of a strange fire turning into a spirit, and appears to be quite agile.

"Come with me."

Su Qian waved to everyone, then walked towards the center of the square. Xun'er pulled Qinglin and Ziyan to follow. The closer they were to the center of the square, the higher the temperature around them. Xun'er and Ziyan didn't feel anything, but Qinglin's blood was cold, so he felt a little uncomfortable.

There was a deep cave in the center of the square. Su Qian stopped about 20 meters away from the cave, and then he waved his hand.

Two figures emerged.

Judging from their clothes, they should be elders of the inner courtyard. However, Xun'er has never seen these two people in the inner courtyard on weekdays. It seems that they are specifically guarding the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Everyone, sit down." Su Qian pointed to a place on the ground where there were ten special jade tables that looked like they were carved from the finest jade.

Several people hurriedly followed his instructions and found a jade platform to sit on.

In an instant, the temperature around seemed to be isolated, and a light cool feeling came from the jade platform, making Qinglin breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that everyone was in place, Su Qian turned around and spoke a few words to the two elders. Then the two elders approached the entrance of the deep cave, formed seals with their hands, and finally shouted in a low voice.

Vast energy surged at the entrance of the cave, and the energy blockade surrounding the entrance was slightly loosened.

Suddenly, a violent wave emerged at the entrance of the cave. The surrounding energy instantly became chaotic, and ripples appeared above the energy blockade, as if something was about to break out.

"Damn it, what's wrong with this guy?"

The two elders cursed inwardly and changed their hand seals one after another. Rays of energy hit the seal. After a long time, the cave entrance finally became quiet again.

"This Fallen Heart Flame is becoming more and more violent." Su Qian's face darkened as he watched this scene. Although they can still contain the Fallen Heart Flame now, the seal will eventually become weaker and weaker as time goes by. If he hadn't checked it frequently and reinforced it over the years, it would have been broken long ago.

Although the strength of the Fallen Heart Flame was not too strong, only at the Dou Huang level, the energy of the exploding strange fire was so huge that even he found it difficult to deal with, not to mention that the difficulty of sealing the Dou Huang-level Fallen Heart Flame and defeating the Dou Huang-level Fallen Heart Flame was simply not on the same order of magnitude.

Although the elders in the academy can solve this problem, they are all in seclusion to comprehend the way of Dou Zun, and they will not take action unless the survival of the academy is at stake!

It would be great if that irresponsible dean could come back once, Su Qian thought.

Under the control of the two elders, the ripples of the energy blockade were gradually smoothed out, and one light ball after another floated out from the deep cave, ten in total, just corresponding to the number of people.

The others were all looking at the balls of light, either with surprise or confusion, only Xun'er glanced at the cave entrance vaguely.

Only she knew what happened just now. She had only revealed a slight breath of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. Even Su Qian did not notice anything unusual, but the Fallen Heart Flame, which was also a strange fire, felt it keenly and attacked the seal.

"These are the origin of the heart fire." Su Qian pointed at the ten white light balls and said to everyone.

"These Heart Fire Origins are extremely rare. Even if we waste a lot of manpower, we can only get three to four groups every year. Although these Heart Fire Origins are of no help to those above Dou Wang, they can pave the way for those below Dou Wang to become Dou Wang." He paused, glanced at everyone, and continued: "But I have to say something ugly in advance. The pain of the Heart Fire Origin entering the body is extremely painful. If you can't endure this pain, you may fail in the body training."

"By then, not only will the body forging be ineffective, a ball of Heart Fire Essence will be wasted, and it will also hurt yourself. The success rate of Heart Fire Body Forging is only about half each time."

"Half?" Everyone was shocked. The success rate was too low. It was basically like gambling.

Su Qian took in everyone's expressions and said, "If anyone is afraid and wants to quit now, it's not too late. We can just save a bunch of Heart Fire Origin."

Several people stopped talking. Although this Heart Fire Body Tempering has a success rate, the benefits are also huge. One must know that the realm of Dou Wang can be said to be a watershed for the strong. In the northwest continent, Dou Wang can be regarded as a strong man. If he establishes a force, he can occupy a big city. Even in those big sects, he is at least an elder. So don’t look at these strong people on the strong list who are all high-level Dou Ling, but there are many people who were trapped in the realm of Dou Ling and could not make any progress. Who is willing to give up such an opportunity to change their own destiny.

"Well, since no one has given up, let's get started." Su Qianyi waved his hand and sent the ten light balls to the top of everyone's head. "Focus and calm down. Don't be distracted. We will take action if there is any problem."

Then, with a "bang", the ball of light turned into an invisible flame and penetrated into everyone's heads.

This is the true image of the origin of heart fire.

Then, the cheeks of the ten people instantly turned red, and their bodies trembled to varying degrees. Although Xun'er felt that the origin of this heart fire was like a quail in front of the strange fire in her body, in order to prevent others from discovering the flaw, she also imitated others and began to experience this heart fire.

"Keep a close eye on it, don't let anything go wrong." Su Qian gave another instruction to the two elders, then he moved and disappeared on the spot.

"The opportunity has come!" Xun'er appeared calm on the surface, but she was slightly excited in her heart.

Why does it feel so good to do bad things secretly?

However, Xun'er did not take action immediately. After all, Qinglin, Ziyan and others were still in the period of heart fire body training, and she could not disturb them. It would be better to wait until it was almost over before taking action.

After a while, three people failed one after another and were rescued by the elders, while the remaining six people, including Xun'er, seemed to be in a quite stable condition.

"It seems that there are a little more people this time, six in total." said an elder.

After a long while, I felt the aura of the people around me gradually stabilized, and I thought it was almost over.

Xun'er immediately and quietly released the aura of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, which was like a fish bait full of spices and seemed particularly tempting.

This was not enough, Xun'er secretly called for Shang An's help in her mind.

"Be prepared!" Shang An replied, and then an extremely concealed seal-breaking energy hit the energy blockade. In an instant, the energy blockade fluctuated violently, the light instantly became dim, and cracks appeared.

The Fallen Heart Flame inside also seemed to have telepathic connection and began to cooperate in frantically attacking the seal.

"Not good!" The two elders' faces changed drastically.

"You guys should leave quickly." They immediately said to the few people who had just finished body training.

"What's wrong?" Xun'er opened her eyes and looked confused.

"It's too late, let's go." another elder shouted.

However, it was too late. An invisible fire python with an almost transparent body suddenly rushed out of the cave. The explosive energy penetrated the magma, brought up a burst of fire, and vibrated the surrounding space into slight wrinkles.

The moment they saw the fire python, they ran away without any hesitation.

Xun'er hesitated for a moment and followed, but she lagged behind by half a body length. However, no one could notice it in the panic.

"Damn it, why is this beast so violent today?" Seeing the transparent fire python showing off its strength without any scruples and chasing relentlessly, the two elders couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling.

They are merely Dou Wangs, and they normally guard the Fallen Heart Flame with the help of the seal. Now that the innermost seal is broken, they have no way to restrain the Fire Python. It can even be said that they are no match for the Fire Python.

"Run outside! There is a seal set by the dean outside, and the fire python can't get out." An elder yelled at several people.

Xun'er glanced back and saw the fire python following behind them, with its eyes made of transparent flames revealing a hint of humanistic teasing.

This is clearly a joke on them.

Xun'er tried to speed up a little, and sure enough, the fire python also accelerated. It was obvious that its target was very clear, which was to treat her as its prey.

I just don't know who the real prey is.

……

"Why did this Fallen Heart Flame suddenly riot and break the inner seal?"

Su Qian's face changed immediately after receiving this message.

Not only are there outstanding students from Canaan College here, but also the eldest lady from the ancient clan and the saint from the Heavenly Snake Palace are also here. If anything happens to one of them, both he and Canaan College will be in trouble.

But according to his previous investigation, the seal should still be very strong and should not be broken within two years.

But he obviously couldn't care less about all that at the moment. He immediately stood up and rushed towards the Tianfen Qi Training Tower at an extremely fast speed.

"Please don't let anything happen!" he said silently in his mind.

It turns out that the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

……

"What! Swallowed?"

Su Qian looked at the elder in front of him and asked in shock and anger.

"Yes, Great Elder, the fire python caught up with us and we couldn't defeat it, so we were blown away. Then it swallowed Xiao Xun'er and returned to the magma." The elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied tremblingly.

"Strange fire, it's a strange fire!" Su Qian thought of something. If nothing unexpected happened, the eldest lady of the ancient clan also had a strange fire, so she attracted the Fallen Heart Flame. The ferocity of the Fallen Heart Flame should also be related to this.

Then his face turned pale instantly.

"It's over, it's all over!"

The eldest daughter of the ancient clan was devoured by the strange fire of Canaan Academy. How could he explain this to the ancient clan?
To put it bluntly, it would have been fine even if it was someone else who was swallowed, why did it have to be that young lady?

It's cruel. In this world, people's lives are not equal.

Now, even the dean can’t calm down the anger of that family.

His life is at stake!
……

Qinglin and Ziyan have returned to Yueling. Although Shang An did not tell them in advance, he still sent them a message when they left, so they were not worried. As for Lingying, he had already known the young lady's goals and part of the plan. Although he was a little worried, he still found Su Qian according to the instructions, told him the news that Xun'er was still alive, and asked him to temporarily seal the bottom floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower and not allow outsiders to enter.

The excuse, of course, is that Xun'er has a life-saving method left by the ancient clan, so her life is temporarily safe, and she will get rid of the Fallen Heart Flame when she finds a chance. But no one can go in and disturb her now, lest the Fallen Heart Flame go crazy and hurt the young lady.

Su Qian did not suspect anything, even though he had some doubts, he still agreed happily.

As long as you are alive, it’s good to be alive.

It seems that I can still serve as the great elder for a few more years and won’t have to be buried with the dead.

At this time,
In the magma at the bottom of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, an invisible fire python was constantly turning its body, looking like a normal creature having a stomach upset.

It doesn't know yet that some things cannot be eaten randomly, but unfortunately it has not read the lesson learned by a certain monkey.

"Teacher, what should we do next?"

Under the protection of Shang An's divine consciousness and the double protection of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, Xun'er was now safe and sound in the body of the Fallen Heart Flame. From time to time, she would control the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame to burn the Fallen Heart Flame, which was the source of the pain of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Although different fires can devour each other, this is also closely related to the level of the different fires. The Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame ranks fourth. In terms of power, it is already far more powerful than the Fallen Heart Flame. After being fused with the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, it is naturally not something it can devour.

Shang An did not answer, but a slightly illusory big hand stretched out from the ring on Xun'er's chest, looking a little weird.

The big hand groped for a while, and finally grabbed it suddenly.

"Found it!" Shang An's voice was filled with a slight joy. He saw a miniature version of the fire python caught in his hand, and the Fallen Heart Flame outside became even more violent, churning wildly in the magma, and the surrounding hard rock walls also cracked.

"Is this the true form of the Fallen Heart Flame?" Looking at this somewhat cute little fire snake, Xun'er found it difficult to connect it with the ferocious fire python.

"Get ready to devour." Shang An's big hand directly rolled the still struggling little fire snake into a ball.

"Okay." Xun'er took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and began to prepare to devour the strange fire according to the method of Burning Technique.

Having already devoured three kinds of strange fire, she naturally did not need any assistance. She only needed to suppress the violent energy of the Fallen Heart Flame to devour it.

The golden flame wrapped up the small flame and then sent it directly into Xun'er's beautiful mouth. Even those Dou Zong and even Dou Zun strongmen would be dumbfounded when they saw it. Even they did not dare to swallow the strange fire like this.

However, Xun'er, who was protected by many kinds of strange fire, was of course not in danger. The energy of the explosion of the Fallen Heart Flame had just burst out when it was suppressed by the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame.

The fire python outside let out a mournful howl, and its body began to become illusory.

After a while, Xun'er's cheeks suddenly began to turn red.

Xun'er had anticipated and was able to control the violent energy of the Fallen Heart Flame, but she did not expect that all kinds of illusions would appear in her mind when she absorbed the Fallen Heart Flame.

On the big white bed, Shang An showed off his slender and perfect figure, his gentle eyes, and the infinite love in his eyes, which was full of temptation to Xun'er.

In the Xiao family's small courtyard, Shang An hugged her and said that he would provide her with food for the rest of her life.

In the Warcraft Mountains...

Everything seemed to be persuading her to stay. Although she knew it was fake, seeing the beautiful moments with her teacher, Xun'er actually wished she could stay in those moments.

Fortunately, with great perseverance, Xun'er finally broke free from the illusion and began to absorb the Fallen Heart Flame steadily.

With several powerful strange fires as a foundation, it was natural for Xun'er to absorb the Fallen Heart Flame for as long as Xiao Yan in the original novel.

However, due to the delay in the illusion, a lot of time had actually passed in the outside world.

Then her momentum began to rise steadily.

……

"It's been five days. Why haven't Sister Xun'er and the teacher come out yet? Could something have happened?"

Qinglin looked at the section of the black tower with some worry.

My originally calm heart gradually became uneasy as time went by.

"Don't worry, the teacher is here, nothing will happen." Zi Yan put her little hand on Qing Lin's shoulder. She had great faith in Shang An. In her opinion, Shang An's strength was much more unfathomable than that of old man Su Qian. How could he be injured by a Douhuang-level fire python?

"hope so."

Qinglin closed his eyes and prayed silently. Seeing this, Ziyan also followed suit and closed her eyes.

I have to say, maybe because they look similar in age, the relationship between the two little girls is surprisingly good.

On a mountain peak outside Canaan College, Ling Ying looked at the top of the tower with concern. He did not enter the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, so naturally he did not know the situation inside.

Although the young lady said that she had a plan, absorbing the strange fire is an extremely dangerous thing after all. What if?
"Ling Ying, why are you here?" At this time, an unexpected voice sounded beside Ling Ying.

Ling Ying was stunned for a moment and turned his head stiffly.

"Chief, why are you here?"

He immediately knelt down and saluted, feeling extremely frightened.

"Where is Xun'er?" Gu Yuan nodded, then asked with a frown.

After he learned that Xun'er was at Canaan College, he chose to come directly to find her. As a result, he only saw Ling Ying standing there. This was not what a guard should do. As a guard, it was his duty to protect the young lady.

Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down Ling Ying's head. Although his body was immune to cold and heat, he felt a little cold at this moment.

He opened his mouth and said, "Reporting to the clan leader, Miss Xun'er, she is absorbing the strange fire in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower."

"Hmm? Be more specific." Gu Yuan's words did not contain much emotion, but they brought great pressure to Ling Ying.

Ling Ying didn't dare to hide anything and told him everything.

"Nonsense!" Gu Yuan said in a low voice after hearing this.

If he wanted to absorb the strange fire, why not just let his family members come to Canaan College to exchange it? Why would he risk his life? If he couldn't still feel Xun'er's life breath, he might have really slapped Ling Ying to death.

The soul of the emperor realm silently covered the entire Canaan Academy and began to search. However, when his mental power detected the bottom floor of the Daotian Refining Qi Tower, an obstacle did appear. It seemed that there was a more powerful force there that was blocking his investigation.

"No, there is something strange under this Canaan College!" Gu Yuan's expression changed slightly. What could be able to block the investigation of the emperor's soul?

Then the space fluctuated and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Ling Ying, who survived the disaster, wiped the sweat from his forehead and collapsed to the ground.

In the inner courtyard, Su Qian rubbed his brows. Now that the eldest lady hasn't come out yet, he has been worried these days. He feels that even his life span has been shortened by a few years.

What should he say when the ancient tribe comes to question him? He is very worried about this.

Suddenly, an undisguised spatial fluctuation appeared around him, and a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Who!" Su Qian was shocked.

Even the Thousands of Elders couldn't use this kind of spatial means.

Could it be that a Dou Zun came to visit?
"My name is Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu clan." Gu Yuan looked at Su Qian and reported his identity indifferently.

Su Qian's pupils shrank into a small dot in an instant, and his heart was filled with fear.

Are you kidding me? !

The patriarch of the ancient tribe actually came in person.

Because of the dean, he also had some understanding of the eight ancient clans. He knew that those ancient and powerful races were the real controllers of the Douqi Continent. Even a tower and a palace were far inferior to them. The clan leaders of these races were at the top of the Douqi Continent, and they were all extremely powerful among the Dousheng.

This kind of existence has always been the object of admiration for practitioners like him, an existence that is out of reach, but the situation is different now!
This is really a call for punishment.

He is just a Dou Zong, how could he have the qualifications to have the patriarch of the ancient clan come in person.

It will turn bones into ashes.

Su Qian's inner drama was very rich. He grabbed the armrests of the chair, trying to retain the last bit of his dignity.

"Hello, hello, Patriarch Gu." He replied with a trembling voice.

"Elder Su, don't be nervous. I want to ask about the situation on the bottom floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower." Gu Yuan saw Su Qian's uneasiness and said gently.

As long as the interests of the ancient clan are not involved, he is actually very easy to talk to.

Su Qian felt extremely bitter.
I'm coming!
This is the beginning of the investigation.

He mustered up his courage and said with a resolute look: "Patriarch Gu, the other teachers and students of Canaan College are all innocent. If you want to punish anyone, just punish me."

As he said this he suddenly closed his eyes.

What kind of execution will it be? Will he be beaten into a pulp with a fighting skill or banished to that chaotic space channel? Or will his soul be extracted and burned in fire for a hundred years?

As he thought about it, his face turned even paler.

"Uh……"

Gu Yuan was stunned. What the hell are you talking about? When did I ever say I would punish you?

But he understood it after thinking about it. He thought that they should not be aware of Xun'er's plot to obtain the strange fire, and they just thought that it was their mistake that harmed Xun'er.

He then smiled helplessly in his heart and said, "Don't worry, Elder Su. I know right from wrong. I just came here to check on my daughter's situation."

This matter has nothing to do with Canaan College, so he naturally won't vent his anger on it.

what?
Su Qian opened his eyes and looked at Gu Yuan in disbelief.

This ancient patriarch is so easy to talk to.

But then he sneered at himself, thinking that he was using a narrow perspective to judge others. It's better to be easy to talk to. He doesn't want to die if he can live.

Then he immediately told Gu Yuan about some of the situations in the bottom floor of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, including the strange lizardmen inside and the Canaan Academy's exploration of the interior, and then brought Gu Yuan to the front of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower.

Ever since Xun'er went in, Su Qian was afraid that the Fallen Heart Flame would come out and wreak havoc again, so he didn't open it until it was safe.

"Elder Su, please wait here. I'll go in and take a look." Gu Yuan said as he disappeared in a flash.

Su Qian gave a bitter smile and did not dare to object. He just stood upright in front of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

At the bottom of the tower, Xun'er had already changed her clothes in the Taiyi Realm, complaining, "Teacher, this is so troublesome! Every time I absorb the strange fire, my clothes will be destroyed. Is there any good way?"

"Haha, you are an all-powerful teacher?"

"Yeah." Unexpectedly, Xun'er actually responded.

"Okay, girl, let me think about it." Shang An thought about it, and really thought of a magic weapon called "Chixia Fairy Clothes". This was a top magic weapon passed down by an ancient sect. However, the original Chixia Fairy Clothes had long disappeared, leaving only a method of refining the magic weapon.

This magic weapon can change at will and can be transformed into the shape of any clothing. It is a first-class protective magic weapon. If used as a life-long magic weapon, it can also grow with its owner. The most important thing is that this Chixia Fairy Clothes can accommodate various flames, and the more and stronger the flames it accommodates, the stronger its power will be. It is simply tailor-made for Xun'er.

However, the refining of the Chixia Immortal Robe requires a wisp of immortal soul as a guide, so the Chixia Sect was unable to re-refine this magic weapon until its demise.

"What can we do?" Xun'er's big eyes twinkled.

"Okay, it will take some time to find a solution. Let's go out first, otherwise there will be a big commotion outside." Shang An said, patting Xun'er's forehead.

Xun'er could only stick out her tongue, smile playfully, and then walk out.

"Xun'er!" Gu Yuan, who had just arrived at the bottom floor, happened to see Xun'er preparing to leave.

"Xun'er, are you okay?"

As an old father, he first looked at his daughter with concern.

"Ah, father, why are you here?" Xun'er was filled with astonishment. She almost thought that she was still in the illusion of the Falling Heart Flame and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Gu Yuan was so upset that he was speechless. After being separated for so many years, his daughter was no longer close to him!
"You've done so many things outside, how can I not come and see you?" Gu Yuan said with a serious face.

"No, I mean..." Xun'er thought for a long time and didn't know how to start.

The same goes for Mr. Ling. He clearly said there was no problem, so why did he tell my father?

"It has nothing to do with Ling Ying. I came here because I wanted to see you. Who knew I would hear your good news as soon as I arrived." Gu Yuan glared at Xun'er and knew what she was thinking from her little expression.

"And that person, come out." Gu Yuan's face froze slightly as he spoke.

"Father, what are you talking about?" Xun'er's pupils shrank slightly, and then she reacted, showing a bit of confusion.

Seeing Xun'er still trying to help that person conceal the truth, Gu Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up." "Okay, don't worry, I won't do anything to your teacher."

After personally checking out Xun'er's condition, he also discovered that Xun'er's Dou Qi was condensed and pure, more stable than that gained through hard practice, without any frivolous aura, and extremely active. It was obvious that she had not practiced any evil skills or taken any special elixirs. The most terrifying thing was that under such circumstances, her cultivation had reached the sixth star of Dou Wang.

Even among the ancient clans, no one except the emperor's son could achieve this level.

Therefore, he did not have any ill will towards the teacher who taught Xun'er the martial arts. He just wanted to meet this person.

Xun'er snapped her fingers awkwardly.

"Shang An has met Patriarch Gu."

An illusory figure appeared beside Xun'er. They would meet sooner or later, so Shang An no longer hid it. What's more, it was just a divine thought. Even if Gu Yuan wanted to kill him now, at most he would come back in a few years with his real body and take revenge on him.

As for Xun'er, haha, now Xun'er has become his shape.

Gu Yuan looked at Shang An and his pupils shrank.

With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Shang An's strength seemed to be only Dou Huang or at most Dou Zong, but when he looked more closely, it seemed a little unfathomable. Even his own emperor soul was vaguely afraid. The most important thing was that when Shang An didn't appear just now, he didn't even notice where Shang An was hiding.

Moreover, the perfection of Shang An's image was the only one he had ever seen in his life. It was not just perfection in appearance, but a kind of perfection in the Tao. Even he couldn't help but feel a lot of good feelings towards this person at first sight.

"You are Xun'er's teacher. I wonder where you are from?" Gu Yuan bowed and couldn't help but become much more polite in his words.

"Outside the Douqi Continent." Shang An smiled slightly, and his words instantly made Gu Yuan's eyes widen.

"Outside the Douqi Continent?" Gu Yuan repeated, and then hurriedly asked: "Are you serious?"

With the heritage of the ancient clan, there are many descriptions about the history of the former Douqi Continent. One thing in common is that after staying in the Douqi Continent for a period of time, the Dou Emperor seems to leave the Douqi Continent and go to the so-called "upper realm", including the ancestors of his ancient clan. This naturally also makes them know that the Douqi Continent is not the only world.

"Of course." Shang An nodded, "I came from outer space, and traveled through the heavens. I found that Xun'er and I have a master-disciple relationship, so I sent a ray of divine consciousness to the Douqi Continent to teach Xun'er."

"Hiss~" Gu Yuan was slightly shocked. Wandering in the heavens, what kind of realm is this? Can the Dou Emperor do this?
At least he, a top Dou Sheng, can't even reach the outside of the Douqi Continent.

Could it be above the Dou Emperor?
Thinking of this, he suppressed his inner excitement and asked tentatively: "May I ask Your Excellency Shang An, do you know how to break through to the Dou Emperor?"

Having been stuck at the peak of the Dou Sheng for so many years, becoming the Dou Emperor had long become his obsession. Now that he encountered an existence that was suspected to be above the Dou Emperor, he naturally couldn't help but ask. You know, even in the records of the ancient clan, there is no information on how to break through to the Dou Emperor. It seems that the Dou Emperor has become the innate barrier of the Dou Qi Continent.

If Shang An can answer it, it means what he said is very likely to be true. If he can't answer it, haha.

"You are too polite, Patriarch Gu. Just call me Shang An." Shang An smiled faintly and started to fool people. He said, "It is actually very simple to break through to the Dou Emperor."

Gu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. Simple?
How could Jian Dan trap him and Emperor Hun Tian for so many years, and could Xiao Xuan gather the strength of his entire clan but still end up in failure?
However, he still asked respectfully, "I wonder what Mr. Shang meant by this?"

Facing an existence that was suspected to be above the Dou Emperor, Gu Yuan could not be arrogant. Of course, all this was based on the fact that Shang An said the truth. If Gu Yuan found out that he was deceived, he would probably be furious.

Fortunately, Shang An is a real talent and is not panicked at all.

Xun'er looked at him strangely. The father who was gentle but arrogant in her memory actually looked a little humble in front of the teacher? But it was normal to think that he was a teacher. After all, he was a teacher!
"There are three ways to break through to become the Dou Di." Shang An said calmly.

But Gu Yuan was so anxious after hearing this that he wanted to drag Shang An into a small dark room and interrogate him, "Why don't you tell me quickly?"

There are actually three ways to break through to become a Dou Di, but I can't find any one of them.

Shang An's voice continued, "The reason why Douqi Continent has not produced a Dou Emperor for a long time is that it is still missing something."

"Is something missing?" Gu Yuan was shocked. Xiao Xuan seemed to have mentioned it vaguely at the beginning that this person had the real thing. His expression couldn't help but become much more serious, just like a good student listening to the teacher's lecture in the classroom.

"Yes, the source energy is missing." Shang An continued: "Without the source energy, the Douqi Continent cannot give birth to a Dou Emperor. The first way to break through to the Dou Emperor is to find the source energy left behind by the former Dou Emperor."

Gu Yuan felt a little desperate after hearing this. Where could he find this? He knew about Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, but his ancient clan only had one copy of the key. He asked in despair, "Could it be that without the source energy, I can't break through to the Dou Emperor?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Shang An's voice was as calm as a pool of clear water. "The second way to break through the Dou Emperor is to use your absolute strength to break through the bottleneck of the Dou Emperor."

Shang An has studied the system of the Dou Qi Continent and discovered that the source energy is actually more of a trigger, a trigger that causes qualitative change. If there is enough Dou Qi, then it is also possible to cause qualitative change by quantitative change, and it does not necessarily require source energy.

But unfortunately, this method requires too much accumulation of energy. Even if Xiao Xuan gathered the strength of his entire clan, he still couldn't succeed. The one who is most likely to succeed is Emperor Hun Tian. If he sacrifices his entire clan, he might be able to break through to the Dou Emperor.

"What about the third one?" Gu Yuan continued to ask. He seemed unable to do the first two methods.

"The third way." Shang An suddenly smiled, "The third way is to switch to practicing the skills of other worlds. In this way, you naturally no longer need source energy to break through the bottleneck."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's breathing suddenly became rapid.
