Tricking Gu Yuan

Gu Yuan shifted his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing's infant form. The two did look very similar, but he could not sense any trace of the bloodline of Dou Di, which was probably completely dried up.

"I wonder when you perished? Could you tell me some information about the Archaic Period?"

I'm willing to exchange resources for it.

Gu Yuan cupped his hands in greeting to Zhu Zhuqing and said.

The existence of a single Dou Di was already a magnificent era for them; Three Thousand Dou Emperors —they dared not even imagine such a grand spectacle.

There are not many records of this in the Ancient Clan.

If possible, he would like to learn about some Archaic Period events from Zhu Zhuqing.

"I don't need the resources, just some common sense from back then. Just give me some herbs to restore my soul."

Zhu Zhuqing can't ask for too much, but she can't ask for nothing either; that's human nature.

"Yes, but the pills that work for Dou Sheng will take some time to prepare, and it may take some time before they can be delivered to you."

"Hmm? Are the pills needed for Dou Sheng so rare now?"

"Alright, just ask me whatever you want to know. I can answer three questions for you."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to get entangled with Gu Yuan any longer, so she planned to deal with him directly with three questions.

"Rare... three..."

Gu Yuan's brow twitched violently. Even his Ancient Clan rarely possessed Ninth-grade Pills, this...

Well, in the Archaic Period, Three Thousand Dou Emperors). They probably didn't lack Ninth-grade Pills. It's just that these up-and-coming talents are narrow-minded.

With Three Thousand Dou Emperors, it's possible that during that period, Dou Sheng was everywhere and Dou Zun was just a dog, which was the norm in the Battle Qi Continent.

Unlike now, where a Dou Sheng is the backbone of a family, and apart from Ancient Clans, no force has a Dou Sheng.

However, Gu Yuan fell into deep thought when he thought about the qualifications of those three people to ask questions; three was actually enough for him.

Or perhaps three aren't even necessary.

"I want to know how those Dou Di in the Archaic Period broke through, and why the Battle Qi Continent can no longer break through to the Dou Di level now."

Gu Yuan's first question was indeed about how to break through to the Dou Di.

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a short while before answering Gu Yuan's question.

"As far as I know, there are three conditions to break through to the Dou Di on the Battle Qi Continent. One of them is to break through to the Emperor Realm in the Soul realm, and then to cultivate the Dou Qi realm to the Dou Saint Consummation.

The last condition is the need to absorb a kind of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy called "Heaven and Earth Origin Qi and Earth Origin Qi."

Zhu Zhuqing answered Gu Yuan's questions for three reasons: first, she had been discovered and needed to protect herself; second, these questions were not of much value to her; and third, she thought Gu Yuan was a good person.

"The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, so it really is so!"

Gu Yuan looked up, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Then what is the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi?"

Gu Yuan now wants to figure out exactly what Origin Qi is and why it is indispensable for breaking through to the Dou Di.

"Origin Qi is a non-renewable resource that has been generated along with the Battle Qi Continent."

The birth of each Dou Di represents the consumption of a portion of the Origin Qi.

In the distant past, the abundance of primordial energy Archaic Period led to a proliferation of Dou Di Battle Emperors) like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

However, the Dou Di is Undying. When the Dou Di leaves the Battle Qi Continent, he will take away a portion of the Origin Qi with him. Therefore, the Origin Qi in this world is becoming less and less over time.

Back then, there was Dou Di who said that there would be no more Dou Di in the future.

I never imagined this day would actually come.

Zhu Zhuqing sighed, as if what she said was all true.

"Source Qi, consumed, none?"

Gu Yuan quickly identified several keywords.

"That's right. To sense the Origin Qi, one must have Emperor Realm soul. In my previous life, I was only Six-star Dou Sheng. I only heard this from the elders of my clan."

Your era is at least two eras apart from the one I once lived in; the primal energy may have already been exhausted.

Apart from faking his identity, Zhu Zhuqing told almost everything else that was true.

Gu Yuan finally understood that breaking through to the Dou Di wasn't something that could be done at will; it actually required external methods.

Gu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing, wondering if she knew of any other ways to break through to the Emperor Realm.

"I know what you want to ask, but I can only say I don't know. After all, even I didn't reach the threshold of becoming Dou Di back then, and most of my information came from reading ancient books. Asking is pointless."

Zhu Zhuqing directly extinguished the seed of hope in Gu Yuan's heart.

Gu Yuan has lived for countless years. How could he not know whether there is still Origin Qi on the Battle Qi Continent?

It can only be said that the older generation is well-fed while the younger generation is crying their eyes out.

However, he wasn't really that keen on breaking through to the Dou Di.

As long as he can confirm that no one can break through to the Dou Di, then he doesn't really need to worry about anything.

After all, Gu Yuan was capable of taking on two opponents at once.

In addition, the Ancient Clan has good relations with other major clans, so who could cause him trouble?

"Why!

"I never imagined the cause and effect would be here. Origin Qi, Dou Di —no wonder the intervals between the appearances of Dou Di in ancient times were getting longer and longer; so that's how it is."

Gu Yuan sighed, but he didn't seem particularly disappointed.

"Thank you for informing me. If it weren't for you, I might have been troubled by this problem for many years."

Gu Yuan shook his head and sighed.

After learning that the Origin Qi of the Battle Through the Heavens World had been completely exhausted, he suddenly lost interest in breaking through to Dou Di, since thinking about it was pointless anyway.

The Eight Great Clans have searched for so many years without finding a single clue, and he doesn't believe that there really is still Origin Qi in this world.

Perhaps, as Zhu Zhuqing said, the world's source energy should have completely disappeared by now!

But it's good that he's gone; then he won't have to worry about anyone standing on his head anymore.

Of course, there might still be an opportunity to break through to the Dou Di realm within the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe's Cave Mansion.

But that's too difficult. No one would be willing to share, just like how the Eight Great Clans each held a piece of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade but never thought of cooperating.

No one wants another Dou Di to appear above their head.

"Does Ancient Clan have any further questions?"

Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Body swayed slightly, and her aura fluctuated slightly.

"That's all. I'll have someone send over the soul-restoring pills soon."

However, would you be interested in joining my Ancient Clan?

Gu Yuan had quite a few ideas about Zhu Zhuqing, this "old fossil," and his ancient knowledge alone was enough to make him want to win her over.

Not to mention that Zhu Zhuqing was once a Dou Sheng, and little Zhu Zhuqing is also an extraordinary genius.

If they are successfully recruited, they will become two future Dou Sheng.

"I have no idea at the moment. Let Zhu Zhuqing think about it when she grows up."

After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, her figure transformed into black mist and quickly returned to Little Zhu Zhuqing's body.

It's obvious that he doesn't want to talk to Gu Yuan any longer.

"Alright then, but due to clan reasons, my daughter has been placed in the care of the Xiao Family. I would be very grateful if you could help take care of her."

Gu Yuan cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Zhu Zhuqing, who was lying on the ground.

"Then I shall take my leave."

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was ignoring him, Gu Yuan politely left.

His plan needed to be changed. In addition to getting Xiao Xun'er in contact with the Xiao Family, he also needed to get in touch with the Zhu Family.

If possible, it would be best to let Xun'er and this Zhu Zhuqing become friends.

Although his Ancient Clan couldn't send strong individuals to protect Xun'er, wasn't it lucky that they found an outsourced strong individual?

Although he was a dead Dou Sheng, he was still Dou Sheng.

Once the soul is stabilized, it becomes a formidable force.

If Xun'er performs consistently and manages to lure Xiao Zhu Zhuqing to the Ancient Clan as well, then he will have made a fortune.

Gu Yuan had some doubts about what Zhu Zhuqing said, but not many.

Because everything Zhu Zhuqing said was reasonable and well-founded.

As for the suspicion that Zhu Zhuqing, as an ancient person, might have left behind so-called Origin Qi?

He had reservations; he didn't dare deny it, but he felt the possibility was slim.

After all, according to his estimation, Zhu Zhuqing's peak strength was at most Seven-star Dou Sheng, which might be very strong now.

However, in the ancient times, she probably wouldn't even be considered cannon fodder, and even if there was source energy, it wouldn't be her turn.
