The old man was dressed in dark clothes, and his face was nothing special. If you ignored his colorful hair, he was almost no different from any other old man.

The old man was sitting cross-legged in the flower bud, his aged face staring at Yun Li with a strange smile.

"Who are you?"

Yun Li stared at the old man with some suspicion, and a guess formed in her mind: this must be the real Ancient Emperor Tuo She.

It's unclear whether it's a lingering image or a remnant soul.

"Haven't you already guessed it, young friend? Why ask again?"

The old man answered calmly.

"I wonder how much time has passed in the outside world. I never expected that someone like you could be born without any other source energy."

Ancient Emperor Tuo She looked at Yun Li with a sigh. Even he was shocked that such a young Dou Di powerhouse was so young.

However, he could tell that Yun Li was walking a completely different path from his own, a path from a different world.

Reaching the Emperor Realm eliminates the need for the existence of a Source.

In ancient times, there was a strange energy born from heaven and earth, and that was the source.

Only after absorbing the source energy can one successfully break through the barrier of the Dou Di realm.

At the beginning of each plane of existence, there is the generation of primordial energy, but primordial energy cannot be regenerated.

For every bit of primal energy consumed, a portion of it disappears into the world.

Dou Di powerhouses are beings who transcend heaven and earth in this world. The birth of each Dou Di powerhouse consumes a significant amount of Origin Qi.

However, such excessive spending will eventually come to an end.

Therefore, no Dou Di will be born on the Dou Qi Continent now, because the Dou Qi Continent no longer has Origin Qi...

Only two, no, including the source energy he consumed to become an emperor, all three source sources were obtained by the Ancient Emperor Tuo She.

So, unexpectedly, Yun Li reached the Emperor Realm through other means even without Origin Qi.

"Did you suddenly pull me in here because you want to fight, or do you want to hand over that Emperor's Origin Qi to me directly?"

Yun Li didn't want to waste too much time with the old man in front of her. This wasn't the real world, but a space for inheritance.

If she doesn't get out in time, the outside world will completely collapse. Although she won't die, she doesn't know which dimension she will fall into.

It's very troublesome, so Yun Li only sees the source energy inherited from the ancient emperor.

"Young friend, let's make a deal."

Ancient Emperor Tuo She shook his head helplessly, and then began to offer his suggestion.

"What deal?"

Yun Li frowned.

"You have already obtained the Emperor Pill, and this Origin Qi will not be of much use to you even if you absorb it. If possible, I hope you can help me find a suitable successor."

"And what can I gain in return?"

Although Yun Li didn't need the Emperor's Origin Qi as much as others, and didn't care about the ancient emperor's inheritance, she didn't want to suffer a loss.

I worked so hard to get here, and everything I have is my reward.

"All that I can give."

"..."

Fifteen minutes later.

Yun Li and Zhu Kun rushed out of the collapsing world and then headed upwards.

It wasn't until they returned to the inner courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy on the Dou Huo Continent.

"Miss Yun Li, in the future, if there is anything you need me Zhu Kun, to do, just give the order, and I will do my utmost to help you, even at the cost of my life."

Returning to the outside world and regaining his freedom, Zhu Kun couldn't help but feel excited, but he quickly realized his mistake and expressed his gratitude to Yun Li.

If it weren't for Yun Li, he would still be that ancient emperor's watchdog.

Although he knew that with Yun Li's strength, his promise would not be of much use, he still made the greatest promise to himself.

However, having disappeared for so many years, Zhu Kun now has to return to Dragon Island immediately to check on the situation.

Especially when I think about how before I was trapped, my child was just an egg and I had no idea what was going on.

"Well..."

Yun Li looked at the Zhu Kun handed her, then tore open a space and rushed in, disappearing from sight.

She had originally wanted to tell him that his daughter was currently at the Jia Nan Academy.

I didn't expect him to be in such a hurry.

However, looking at the thing in his hand, this thing is the Dragon Emperor's token, which can command the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and other magical beast clans that are attached to the Void Ancient Dragon.

It proved useful once we arrived in the Central Continent.

Although the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is now fragmented, with the return of Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, reunification is inevitable.

"It's time to go find Little Fairy Doctor. I've been down there for so long without realizing it."

After accepting the gifts, Yun Li sensed Little Fairy Doctor's location and prepared to go find her.

This time I really had a great harvest.

You've really worked hard; you need to have a good meal.

Fighting consumes a lot of energy, and you get hungry very quickly. The few snacks I ate earlier weren't even enough to fill my stomach.

Chapter 52 Yun Li: I'm hungry!

Although they had previously destroyed the world created by the Dou Di below, the Jia Nan Academy, which belongs to the outside world, was not greatly affected.

That level of combat was completely beyond their comprehension.

Even a Dou Sheng expert would find it difficult to detect, let alone these people who are neither Dou Zong nor Dou Zun.

However, compared to the past, Jia Nan Academy has indeed been turbulent recently, and all the elders have stepped forward to constantly appease the students of the inner academy.

At this point, the Fire Energy in the Qi Refining Tower had still not recovered, making cultivation impossible.

Until the cause is found, the academy has decided to temporarily close the Qi Refining Tower.

However, Yun Li didn't care or pay attention to these things. After sensing Little Fairy Doctor's aura, she walked directly towards that location.

Then they arrived at a beautiful pavilion and saw Little Fairy Doctor sitting alone, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Little Fairy Doctor".

Yun Li appeared inside the pavilion and swaggered over.

"Yun Li, you're back."

Hearing Yun Li's voice, Little Fairy Doctor snapped out of her daze, her face lighting up with joy as she quickly stood up and went to greet her. Yun Li had said she'd be right back, but she'd been gone for so long.

Although I know Yun Li's strength and that nothing should go wrong, I can't help but feel a little worried.

This must be the longest time she's been apart from Yun Li since they met, and she has no idea what Yun Li has been up to.

I'm hungry.

Yun Li touched her lower abdomen and looked at Little Fairy Doctor with a calm expression.

"Are you hungry? I'll go arrange something to eat. What would you like to eat?"

"Anything that tastes good is fine. Does this place have any specialties? If not, let's go out to eat. I'll pay."

Thinking about her gains, Yun Li patted her chest, looking very generous. She could afford to eat the entire continent out of business and still pay for it.

No one in the world is richer than her, not even the imperial families.

"No need to go out to eat, I'll prepare it! The taste will definitely be good."

There is indeed a restaurant in the inner courtyard, but it's unnecessary. She knows what Yun Li likes to eat and wants to cook for her herself.

"Oh, okay then."

Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor said so, Yun Li had no objections.

While Little Fairy Doctor was preparing food, Yun Li curiously looked around. This must be where the inner courtyard elders or teachers lived, right?

Why is Little Fairy Doctor here?

She was a little confused, but Yun Li didn't think too much about it and decided to ask Little Fairy Doctor later.

As for the Jia Nan Academy, she didn't care what the people there thought. She had just beaten up a half-step Dou Di, so why would she care about the Jia Nan Academy, which didn't even have a Dou Zun?

However, since he was the one who took the Fallen Heart Flame, he still had to settle accounts with them.

Yun Li still felt a little guilty about just ignoring Jia Nan Academy.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the newly Fallen Heart Flame is indeed of little use to Yun Li, and it would be fine to give it to the Jia Nan Academy, otherwise she would not feel bad about letting herself down.

However, he has now obtained the Fallen Heart Flame, and even more than a hundred scrolls of High-grade Heaven Tier Dou Technique, Emperor Pills, and the inheritance of ancient emperors.

High-grade Heaven Tier Dou Technique can be auctioned, traded, given away, or collected. Di Dan Yun Li plans to extract the Emperor's Origin Qi to forge an Emperor Weapon.

As for the inheritance of the ancient emperors...

Thinking about her deal with the old man, Yun Li decided not to touch the item that belonged to Xiao Huohuo, the Emperor, and planned to find an opportunity to give it to him.

Although that inherited source energy is extremely valuable, investing in Xiao Huohuo is definitely not a bad deal.

Putting aside what the old man promised—the remnants of a Dou Di—just consider Xiao Huohuo. Once he goes to the Great Thousand World and becomes a giant who unifies the Boundless Flame Domain, the rewards will only be greater.

If the protagonist were Xiao San, Yun Li definitely wouldn't return what she had already obtained, but Xiao Huohuo is still worth investing in and trusting.

"Next, all that's left is the Crystal Burning Heaven Flame from Gu Xun'er, and then we can set off for the Central Continent."

Staying here doesn't seem to make any sense for Yun Li. She can do more things in the Central Continent, where the stage is bigger.

I especially need to speed up my own level completion tasks.

Once you reach the Central Continent, you can unleash your Divine Weapon in large quantities and have those people help you build your reputation.

Furthermore, in terms of sword-forging materials, it's easier to collect them in the Central Continent compared to other regions. Although she had previously obtained a considerable amount of dragon scales from Zhu Kun, forging hundreds of swords wouldn't be a problem.

However, having exactly the same Divine Weapon feels a bit lacking; it doesn't have that feeling of diversity. We need to make Divine Weapon more varied.

Finally, let's revive Yao Tianhuo in a few days.

Thinking about what to do next, time passed quickly. Little Fairy Doctor had already prepared a lot of food that Yun Li liked.

"It smells so good!"

Seeing the table full of delicious food, Yun Li quickly sat down in a chair and eagerly picked up her chopsticks and bowl. Already hungry, she couldn't resist the temptation of so much food.

After telling Little Fairy Doctor, she couldn't wait to start eating heartily.

Before long, all twenty or thirty dishes were gone, and they were all in Yun Li's stomach.

I'm full.

So comfortable...

After setting down the last plate, Yun Li wiped her mouth with a towel with satisfaction, then habitually walked to the white-haired girl next to her and looked at Little Fairy Doctor with her cute big eyes.

Seeing Yun Li's gaze, Little Fairy Doctor realized what was happening, found a place to sit down, and then let Yun Li lie down on her lap to rest.

Smelling the herbal fragrance emanating from Little Fairy Doctor, Yun Li, who was full and satisfied, relaxed even more, closed her eyes, and tried not to think about anything.

After resting for an unknown amount of time, Yun Li rubbed her eyes, got up, and asked about her doubts.

"Little Fairy Doctor, what are you doing here?"

"Those elders from the Jia Nan Academy didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

"No, it was the Great Elder who vacated this place for me to stay temporarily."

Hearing Yun Li's concern, Little Fairy Doctor was in a good mood and then explained the situation.

After Yun Li entered the magma world at the bottom of the Qi Refining Tower, Little Fairy Doctor did not stay there for long before she was approached by the Great Elder of the Inner Court.
