The ancient emperor's tomb has finally been found.
I wonder what Brother Xiao Xuan's reaction will be upon hearing this news.
"There, we also discovered the imprisoned Elder Dragon King of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, Senior Zhukun," Zhang Yuan continued.
The old dragon emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan?
Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Zhu Kun was someone who had already reached the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng before he was born.
"Is that senior still alive?" Gu Yuan asked, his voice trembling.
"I am naturally still alive."
Zhu Kun suddenly appeared beside Zhang Yuan, looked Gu Yuan up and down, and said, "Nine-star Dou Sheng late stage. It seems that the Dou Qi Continent is not without talent. Which imperial clan are you from?"
"My name is Gu Yuan, and I am now the patriarch of the Gu Clan," Gu Yuan said, clasping his hands in greeting.
“Ancient clans?” Zhu Kun thought for a moment and said, “I’ve heard of them. They weren’t considered major clans in ancient times. They seem to have a good relationship with the Xiao clan. The imperial clans that I admired in the past were the Xiao and Zhang clans.”
"The Xiao clan and the Zhang clan?" Xun'er and Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Yuan.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Kun asked, puzzled.
“My mother’s surname is Xiao, the Xiao of the Xiao clan,” Zhang Yuan said. “My surname is also Zhang.”
“That’s quite a coincidence.” Zhu Kun laughed heartily. “But you are so outstanding, you must have nothing to do with the imperial clan. Although the Xiao clan has produced many strong people, in an era when they could not become emperors, they actually depleted their Dou Di bloodline. They probably became extinct a thousand years ago.”
“The old Dragon Emperor is right.” Gu Yuan nodded: “A thousand years ago, the bloodline of the Xiao Clan’s imperial lineage was exhausted. At that time, Xiao Xuan, the patriarch of the Xiao Clan, had reached the peak of the Dou Sheng realm and attempted to break through to the Dou Di realm, but failed. He was also ambushed by the Soul Clan while he was seriously injured.”
"At that time, the Xiao Clan's Dou Sheng powerhouses were all seriously injured because their bloodlines were extracted. It was more than enough that my Gu Clan sent half of its people to help. I also took action to resist the Soul Emperor. There were also six imperial clans around us, eyeing us covetously."
"Brother Xiao Xuan, despite being severely injured, killed four eight-star Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan. Void Devouring Flame, who was at the peak of the eight-star level, was seriously injured, as was Soul Emperor, who was at the late stage of the nine-star Dou Sheng level."
"pity."
Zhu Kun's eyes lit up: "This Xiao Xuan is quite a character. If I were still alive back then, I could have become friends with him. I really want to have a drink with him."
“There will be an opportunity,” Zhang Yuan said with a smile. “Xiao Xuan’s clan has not completely perished yet. If he can become an emperor one day, there will still be a chance to revive him.”
"Brother Xiao Xuan didn't perish?" Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised, but then said with relief, "If it were him, it would be normal."
Although they were close friends, he was also a big fan of Xiao Xuan.
If it weren't for the sake of the ancient clan, he would have risked serious injury to kill the Soul Emperor back then.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed his daughter, whom he had nurtured for a thousand years, to grow up in the Xiao family, the direct line of Xiao Xuan.
“Compared to that, Xun’er is more curious about the Zhang family,” Xun’er suddenly said.
Zhu Kun laughed and said, "The Zhang family is also known as the Qilin Zhang family. It is an extremely powerful family. Zhang Yuan is definitely not a member of the Zhang family!"

Chapter 215 The Zhang Family of Qilin! Strange Creatures in the Void Thunder Pool
"The Zhang family of Qilin?"
This form of address piqued Zhang Yuan's interest, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior Zhukun, could you elaborate?"
The ancient and soul clans, these imperial clans, were not considered strong in ancient times, and they did not know many secrets or have many inheritances.
Later, the Dou Di disappeared, and the Devouring Spirit Clan committed evil deeds in order to continue their bloodline power, causing countless imperial clans to bleed and many inheritances to be severed, leaving even fewer people who knew the secrets.
However, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void has always lived on Dragon Island, built on the Void Storm, and traveled outside the Dou Qi Continent. Their lineage has not been completely broken by the time of Zhu Kun. As the old Dragon Emperor, he knows a lot of things.
“It’s not some secret that can’t be told.” Zhu Kunlong’s eyes flashed, and he said in a passionate tone, “It all goes back to the ancient times. It is said that it was an era in which many Battle Emperors emerged, and everyone pursued the realm of Heavenly Emperor.”
"In that era, the strongest beastmen were the Earth Qilin, the Void Hidden Dragon, and the Golden Jade Phoenix."
"An unknown war occurred in the ancient times. It is said that the Dou Qi Continent has been lacking something ever since, and has begun to regress."
"In pursuit of a higher realm, Dou Di powerhouses often need to travel to the outside world and the upper realm."
"In ancient times, the bloodline of the Void Hidden Dragon weakened, and it became my Void Ancient Dragon clan."
"The Golden Jade Phoenix weakened and became the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Due to a struggle for the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, Emperor Cheng became a mortal enemy."
"As for the Earth Qilin, it is said that the entire clan moved out of the Dou Qi Continent, and the body of one of the Dou Di level Qilin was obtained by the Zhang clan's Half-Emperor. He used some kind of secret method to tattoo the Qilin, and thus the power of his bloodline became extremely strong."
"The Zhang clan is the smallest of the imperial clans, with only a little over a hundred members at its lowest point, but dozens of them are Dou Sheng, and the rest are Dou Zun. They are a bunch of madmen."
"When fighting at the Dou Sheng level, members of the Zhang clan can use a secret technique to summon the body of a Qilin. The Qilin body summoned by a nine-star Dou Sheng is no less powerful than my original body, reaching tens of thousands of feet in length, and possessing the power to destroy the world with every move."
"Later, another ancient war occurred. Our clan's records mention the word 'Great Thousand.' News came that a powerful Dou Di from the Zhang family of Qilin had fallen, and the Zhang family was besieged by multiple imperial clans."
"At the time of the extermination, all the Dou Di were conscripted and left the Dou Qi Continent, never to return."
"From that time onward, the Dou Qi Continent began to regress, lacking the energy that would allow a Dou Sheng to become a Dou Di. This was the end of an era."
"The sudden ascension of Emperor Tuoshe at this time astonished countless people, yet he did not bring much change to this continent."
"The ancient emperor Tuoshe soon disappeared, and the Zhang family once again stood at the pinnacle of the imperial clans with overwhelming power. This continued for thousands of years until a brilliant and talented individual named Zhang Qilin appeared."
"He found an entrance to another world in the void, saying that there was a chance to go to a wider world from there, and then he took the Zhang clan and disappeared from this world."
"I wonder if they have found a wider field."
This secret deeply moved Gu Yuandu.
On the contrary, Zhang Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but he was calmly analyzing the situation in his mind.
He was not surprised by the departure of the Zhang family of Qilin. The family of Yao Chen's former lover, the fox princess, was sent to another world in the void by the Demon Saint in order to avoid the disaster of extermination.
He hadn't heard of the Ancient War, but the fact that all the Dou Di left during the Ancient War was most likely due to the invasion of the extraterrestrial evil race, and they were summoned by the Great Thousand Palace.
In fact, if a Dou Di is just a weakened version of a Supreme Being, would he really be useful on a battlefield where the Heavenly Supreme Being is the highest level of combat power?
Perhaps, the Dou Di is the Earthly Supreme?
Zhu Kun also said that the Zhang family, the Battle Saint Qilin, can summon a ten-thousand-foot-tall Qilin to fight, which seems like a supreme dharma body.
Therefore, is the Dou Di Dharma Body a weakened version of the Earthly Supreme Heavenly Manifestation?
Given the severe regression of the Dou Qi Continent, it's not impossible.
"It seems that some things cannot be judged too early."
“I am now a living, breathing human being, not a fictional character.”
"Battle Through the Heavens, Martial Universe, and The Great Ruler are ultimately just similar stories, perhaps from multiple universes or parallel worlds."
Zhang Yuan calmed himself down and smiled, "I believe we will be able to see the scenery that our predecessors saw in the past. Right now, the most important thing is to become stronger."
At this point, Zhang Yuan asked Gu Yuan, "Uncle, do you carry the ancient jade with you?"
"I've already brought it." Gu Yuan nodded.
Although he didn't know Zhang Yuan's intention in having him carry the ancient jade with him, the ancient emperor's tomb had already been discovered and might be opened at any time, so there was naturally no safer place for the ancient jade than on his person.
"When you said you wanted to take the ancient jade away, did anyone object or show any unusual behavior?" Zhang Yuan asked again.
Gu Yuan's eyes flashed as he stared at Zhang Yuan and said, "I didn't realize it until you said it, but now that you mention it, it seems that Gu Yang's emotions were a bit off back then."
Gu Yang is a Five-Star Dou Sheng of the ancient clan, a Supreme Elder, who is specifically responsible for guarding the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in the ancestral hall.
Zhang Yuan knew that his soul had been corrupted by the Void Devouring Flame long ago, and that he was a spy of the Soul Clan.
In the original trajectory, even if it meant self-destruction, Gu Yang would have sent the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to the Soul Clan.
“Then you’d better secretly keep an eye on and investigate this Ancient Sheep, and do so with a different kind of fire,” Zhang Yuan said thoughtfully. “He might be a spy for the Soul Clan.”
"What did you say?" Gu Yuan's expression changed drastically. He said, "You think my Gu Clan's five-star Dou Sheng is a spy for the Soul Clan?"
This joke is not funny at all.
The Soul Clan's methods are indeed strange, but they don't yet have the ability to plant a traitor under the nose of a nine-star Dou Sheng like him, especially since he is a clan elder and a five-star Dou Sheng.
“It’s not that I think it’s possible,” Zhang Yuan said thoughtfully. “Some time ago, I refined the soul of the Three Serpent Elders of the Soul Palace. From his memories, I learned that the Soul Clan has been collecting souls all over the continent in recent years in preparation for the Void Devouring Flame, to help it break through to the Emperor Realm.”
"The Devouring Power of the Void Flame is somewhat strange. It can change a person's soul without them even realizing it, affecting their cognition, personality, and way of doing things."
"A tiny flame, one in a billion, was enough to cause a peak Dou Huang to break through to Dou Zong, thus affecting him."
"So if the Void Devouring Flame itself were to take action, it might be possible to subtly transform a Dou Sheng over a long period of time."
"Since Uncle felt that Gu Yang was unusual, his decision to secretly investigate showed his concern for the ancient clan, didn't it?"
These words were all reasonable, and Gu Yuan had no choice but to take them seriously.
As a long-time adversary of the Soul Clan, he was indeed familiar with their methods, but the addition of the Void Devouring Flame would make all the difference.
"I understand. I will investigate secretly to make sure that Gu Yang is alright." Gu Yuan nodded.
“If it is confirmed that Gu Yang is indeed problematic, I hope Uncle can hold back for now,” Zhang Yuan added. “If Gu Yang is problematic, then the Soul Clan is in the shadows while the Ancient Clan is in the open, putting them in a passive position.”
“But if we know that the Ancient Sheep has a problem, but the Soul Clan doesn’t, then the situation will be reversed.”
"Furthermore, if even the elders of the ancient clans who guard the ancient jade may have problems, the other imperial clans will probably not be spared either. If Uncle takes action, it will inevitably alert the enemy."
"Now that we know the location of the ancient emperor's tomb, we cannot allow the Soul Clan to obtain too many ancient jades and lose the initiative."
Gu Yuan's eyes became serious: "Don't worry, I understand."
He was becoming more and more satisfied with Zhang Yuan, his future son-in-law.
Not only is he exceptionally talented, but he also has incredible luck. He keeps up with the pace of growing stronger while helping Xun'er.
They have now befriended the Ancient Dragon of the Void, who possesses the power of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and have also discovered the tomb of an ancient emperor.
Think ten steps ahead before taking one step; there are too many gifts to give when meeting someone.
"Of course, the most important thing is to protect Xun'er." Zhang Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"You don't need to tell me that, kid."
Gu Yuan laughed in exasperation, then flung Xun'er into the spatial passage and disappeared.
"Is Father angry out of embarrassment?" Xun'er smiled sweetly.
She loved Yuan-gege's concern the most.
"I'm afraid you won't even know your own surname," Gu Yuan sighed.
"We'll all be surnamed Zhang sooner or later. My daughter will just avoid taking a few detours." Xun'er said confidently.
