Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 230 The Ancient Emperor's Cave Appears, Activating the Ancient Jade

As the surrounding obstacles are removed, the spatial boundaries gradually emerge and become increasingly clear.

However, the ancient emperor's cave was not directly exposed.

Hun Cang was not surprised at all, since in the original story, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was used as a key to open the restriction and allow the Ancient Emperor's Cave to be born directly.

Right now, his method is simply to move the entire space from its hidden location to the outside world.

No one noticed the hint of tension in Hun Cang's eyes.

Because everything he did was, in a sense, a gamble.

Having won the gamble, the Soul Emperor appeared with the ancient jade and successfully opened the cave.

If he loses the bet, his words will be seen through.

Now it remains to be seen whether my persuasive words will have any effect.

Hun Cang murmured to himself.

Before long, an enormous space appeared suspended in the air, right before everyone's eyes.

It was pitch black inside, and the contents were impossible to see; only a faint glimmer of light could be seen.

Just as everyone was pondering what to do next, a figure stepped forward and walked straight into the space.

"Big brother, wait for me!" Xiao Yan immediately followed.

Unable to contain their curiosity, the others also stepped into the space.

Soon, only the patriarchs of the three clans of Gu Leiyao and a group of elders remained outside.

"To go in or not to go in?"

"The situation inside is unknown; wouldn't it be dangerous to rush in?"

"That makes sense. Hun Cang is, after all, a member of the Soul Clan. If this is a conspiracy by the Soul Clan, wouldn't we be wiped out if we went in?"

Discussions arose.

The Thunder Clan Chief was the first to call for the ancient emperor's cave to be revealed, but now he is hesitant to proceed.

Sensing the gazes gathering around him, Gu Yuan remained calm and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone from the Ancient Clan, follow me!"

The next moment, Gu Yuan's figure vanished into the space.

Seeing this, the people of the Lei and Yao clans no longer hesitated and rushed inside.

The ancient and desolate aura that swept over them made them feel as if they were in a dream. This aura alone was enough to shock them. This space had existed for at least three to five thousand years.

There was nothing around, and the emptiness was somewhat monotonous.

The group continued forward, moving towards the light in the distance. Their gaze was then drawn to a massive stone gate, where four ancient characters on the gate captivated them.

"The Ancient Emperor's Cave..."

Someone murmured the name softly for the first time, and it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, with others following suit.

Sensing the majestic aura emanating from the gate, even powerful figures like Gu Yuan wore solemn expressions and looked serious.

The Lei Clan Chief's gaze was complex as he stared at the four characters "Ancient Emperor's Cave," utterly shocked: "I have felt this kind of aura before on the objects left by the Ancestor. I will never forget that feeling."

The Medicine Clan Chief looked at the figure in front of the crowd and sighed, "Who would have thought that the cave we've been searching for all these years, despite possessing the ancient jade, would be found by a young man?"

Gu Yuan chuckled: "That's just fate."

Back then, when the mysterious ruins appeared, countless people rushed in to fight for the treasures, resulting in bloodshed and bloodshed. In the end, they discovered an ancient jade that seemed to contain the secrets of the last Dou Di of the Dou Qi Continent.

However, the ancient jade broke during the struggle and was divided into eight pieces, with each of the eight ancient tribes taking one piece.

Afterwards, everyone returned home. Although they did not reveal it, they secretly tried to search for the location of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave. However, despite their best efforts, they found nothing.

Ultimately, everyone, with the mindset that if they couldn't find it, neither could they, put the ancient jade away safely.

Who would have thought that, years later, someone would actually find the ancient emperor's cave without using ancient jade?

Recalling the great battles that once erupted over ancient jade, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh at the cruel twists of fate.

In front of the crowd.

Xiao Yan stood beside Hun Cang, looking up at the massive stone gate with a look of horror in his eyes.

Such architecture was unthinkable in my previous life. Even with advanced technology, I never imagined that such a magnificent building could be constructed.

In this world of martial arts, all of this is quite ordinary.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, his brows suddenly furrowed, and then a milky white flame rose from his body, transforming into a humanoid spirit that stared at the gate.

Xiao Yan glanced at his elder brother, and seeing that he didn't react much, he asked the Pure Lotus Demon Flame with some confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Flame shook its head, a look of confusion on its face, followed by a glimmer of recollection: "Master, I feel like this portal is so familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't quite remember where."

This stumped Xiao Yan; he couldn't answer it and looked at his elder brother.

Hun Cang smiled and asked, "Do you remember the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor I told you about?"

Xiao Yan nodded: "Of course I remember."

When Xiao Yan learned that the cultivation technique he was practicing was one that the ancient emperor Tuoshe had also practiced, he was overjoyed.

As it turns out, the Dou Di technique is indeed extraordinary. Even with my talent, I have now become a Dou Sheng, and my strength is not much different from that of the top group of people on the Dou Qi Continent.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan thought of something.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Since one's own cultivation technique requires devouring different flames to evolve, does that mean the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe also needs to?

Thinking about it this way, it suddenly became easy to understand the doubts of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

Since Emperor Tuoshe was going to devour the strange fire, the strange fire must have stayed in his cave, so it's not surprising that it would feel familiar.

Hun Cang, seeing the change in Xiao Yan's expression, knew that he must have thought of something, so he smiled and remained silent, without giving any further hints.

At this moment, Gu Yuan walked up from behind, holding a piece of ancient jade in his hand.

He looked at Hun Cang and handed him the ancient jade: "Hun Cang, what should we do next? I'll leave it to you. We old folks may be getting on in years, but we actually know less about this than you do."

Hun Cang lowered his gaze and saw the ancient jade, but did not immediately reach for it.

This is just a fragment of ancient jade, so Hun Cang naturally has no way to use it to open the ancient emperor's cave.

Just as a strange look appeared in Gu Yuan's eyes, Hun Cang snatched the ancient jade and revealed a bright smile.

"Clan Chief, you may not know this, but this ancient jade is not only the key to unlocking the cave's restrictions, but it can also control the formation of Emperor Tuoshe's cave." Hun Cang's voice was loud, drawing the attention of everyone around him.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Hun Cang seemed oblivious and continued, "Actually, I obtained a copy of the ancient Emperor Tuoshe's inheritance in my early years. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to find the location of this cave. I will use the ancient jade to open the cave and activate the formation. Even if the Soul Clan arrives, they won't be able to catch up. At that time, even if they snatch the seven pieces of ancient jade, it will be of no use."

Xiao Yan said excitedly, "Big brother, why are you saying so much? Let's open the cave quickly. If we can break through to the Dou Di realm, we won't have to worry about the Soul Clan's threat anymore."

Hun Cang smiled confidently, a strange light appearing in his eyes. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he suddenly tossed the ancient jade away, sending it flying and soaring upwards.

Everyone's eyes followed the upward movement.

A burst of battle energy, transformed into a strange mark, shot out from Hun Cang's body and projected towards the ancient jade.

Everyone held their breath, filled with anticipation.

How many treasures must be inside the cave dwelling left behind by a Dou Di?

Suddenly, a black energy flashed in the void, quickly wrapped around the ancient jade, and swept it away in a whoosh, causing Hun Cang's mark to fall into emptiness.

Everyone turned around abruptly.

"Oh no, it's the Soul Emperor!"

Gu Yuan's expression changed drastically.

The Soul Emperor opened his palm, allowing the last piece of ancient jade to merge with the other seven. He laughed triumphantly, "Better late than never! Gu Yuan, and you, Soul Cang, you rebellious son, as a member of the Soul Clan, you betrayed your own kind and colluded with outsiders! You didn't expect me to arrive so quickly, did you? I heard everything you said! Now all the ancient jades are in my hands, and the Ancient Emperor's Cave Formation will soon be under my control. You will all die!"

Before he finished speaking, the Soul Emperor raised his hand and struck the ancient jade with a burst of energy.

Instantly, the ancient jade shone with a radiant light.

Gu Yuan, along with the patriarchs of the other two clans, other elders, and people from other forces, all changed their expressions drastically and tried to stop him using various methods.

Seeing this, the Soul Emperor's smile grew even brighter, and his gaze moved to find Soul Cang at the back of the crowd.

He wanted to see what kind of expression this unfilial son would have.

next second.

Seeing Hun Cang with a faint smile on his lips, Hun Tiandi was stunned.
