The Ancient Emperor's Cave That Screwed People Over
"My situation is a bit special. Old Ji, you really gave me a fright! Did you dig up some High-Star Dou Sheng's grave? Otherwise, how could you suddenly jump to Three-Star Dou Sheng?"
In fact, Xiao Lin was no less shocked than Ji Li.
It's worth noting that Ji Li had only recently reached the Nine-Transformation Peak Dou Venerable when he went out to seek opportunities.
Then, in less than ten years, he soared from Nine-Transformation Dou Venerable to Three-Star Dou Sheng. How could Xiao Lin not be shocked?
Xiao Lin originally thought he was a cheater, but he didn't expect Ji Li to be just as competitive!
"Huh? How did you know?"
Hearing Xiao Lin's teasing tone, Ji Li in a state of self-isolation, snapped out of her reverie and asked curiously.
Xiao Lin & Ling Miao: "..."
Well, his casual joke actually came true!
Xiao Lin was somewhat speechless, but at the same time, he finally understood why Ji Li's strength had improved so much.
Then, Ji Li gave a general account of her experiences over the years.
According to Ji Li, the High-Star Dou Sheng tomb he discovered was destroyed in a great battle in ancient times and fell into the sea.
Because it is located in the deep sea, it has remained undiscovered for many years.
It wasn't until after Ji Li sea that he unexpectedly discovered the traces of the tomb of that High-Star Dou Sheng.
All I can say is that this is a fateful connection born of Ji Li.
At the very least, over 99% of people on the Dou Qi Continent have never considered going to sea to seek any opportunities.
It was only Ji Li had this kind of courage that he was able to find him.
Moreover, even so, according to Ji Li, he also went through countless near-death experiences in the tomb of that High-Star Dou Sheng before finally obtaining the other party's inheritance.
Even if someone else were to inherit this skill, they might not be able to!
"I never imagined that such an opportunity could exist in the vast ocean; I truly never thought of it before!"
After hearing Ji Li's description, Ling Miao couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, no wonder I haven't been able to contact you all these years. It turns out you've 'gone into the sex industry'!"
When Xiao Lin spoke, he deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "go to sea".
Fortunately, Ji Li didn't know the true meaning of "going into business," otherwise, he probably would have challenged Xiao Lin to a duel!
"I couldn't help it either. That senior's grave is isolated from the outside world, so the Communication Stone is useless! But speaking of which, Old Xiao, how exactly have you been cultivating all these years?"
I never expected Ji Li to still be hung up on this!
Seeing Ji Li's persistence, Xiao Lin figured there was no point in hiding anything, so he told her the truth.
However, as Xiao Lin continued speaking, the expressions on Ji Li and Ling Miao's faces became increasingly strange.
"... Huh? What's with those expressions on your faces?"
Xiao Lin clearly hadn't realized there was anything wrong with what he said.
"Ancient Emperor's Cave?"
"Old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun?"
It wasn't until Ji Li and Ling Miao spoke up one after the other that Xiao Lin finally realized what they cared about.
"Old Xiao, are you serious? You found the Ancient Emperor's Cave? And you discovered the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan trapped inside?"
Ji Li's tone was filled with disbelief.
At this moment, Ji Li had no time to care about how Xiao Lin's strength was improving!
Whether it's the information about the Ancient Emperor's Cave or the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, which one isn't a hundred times more important than how Xiao Lin improves his strength?
"Palace Master, if we can open the Ancient Emperor's Cave and obtain the inheritance of the Tou She Ancient God, wouldn't that mean we can...?"
The thought of avenging the Ling Clan made Ling Miao's voice tremble with excitement.
After all, this is the Ancient Emperor's Cave!
The legacy left behind by the last Dou Emperor on the Dou Qi Continent, the Tou She Ancient God, is located in the Ancient Emperor's Cave!
Such a legacy is something no one would want to receive.
Furthermore, as a member of the Ling Clan, Ling Miao naturally knew of the existence of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, and that it was not merely a legend.
Because the Tou She Ancient God Jade, possessed by the Eight Great Emperor Clans, is the best evidence to prove the existence of the Ancient Emperor's Cave!
Now that Xiao Lin has found the existence of the Ancient Emperor's Cave without having collected all eight pieces of the Ancient Emperor Jade, how could Ling Miao not be excited?
After learning the reason for their agitation, Xiao Lin was speechless.
The two of them were unaware of the true situation of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, otherwise they would have known just how much of a scoundrel the legendary Tou She Ancient God really was!
As the first person to be scammed, Zhukun is certainly qualified to speak on this matter.
He hadn't collected all eight pieces of the Ancient Emperor Jade before rashly entering the Ancient Emperor's Cave, and as a result, he was trapped there for thousands of years...
As for the so-called "Guardian" title, Zhukun only wants to say one thing: Bullshit!
To put it bluntly, they were just acting as watchdogs for the Ancient Emperor's Cave.
As for the future, if anyone tries to enter the Ancient Emperor's Cave before collecting all eight pieces of the Ancient Emperor Jade, they will have to face Zhukun, who has been sealed for thousands of years and whose anger level is close to exploding!
Xiao Lin's situation was special; he knew the Original Work plot, which allowed him to use Zi Yan's influence to get closer to Zhukun.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be met with a slap from Zhukun!
Furthermore, there are even more problematic areas.
Even if you collect all eight pieces of Ancient Emperor Jade and open the Ancient Emperor's Cave, you will still face Emperor-Grade Embryonic Pill that is even more powerful than the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun!
This is a formidable individual capable of taking on three opponents single-handedly, suppressing Zhukun, Gu Yuan, and Hun Tiandi —three of the most powerful figures in the Dou Qi Continent today!
Without the Pill Transformation Divine Art, you're just a lamb to the slaughter for Emperor-Grade Embryonic Pill cultivator.
Therefore, Xiao Lin never once had any intention of taking the inheritance within the Ancient Emperor's Cave.
Even if you let Xiao Lin collect all eight pieces of the Ancient Emperor Jade, he still wouldn't have this idea!
Even in the Original Work, if the Hun Tiandi hadn't had the help of the Nihility Devouring Flame, he would have suffered a crushing defeat!
However, Xiao Lin knew the inside story, but Ji Li and Ling Miao did not!
It's easy to tell from their tone that they have ideas about the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor's Cave.
Moreover, Xiao Lin just said that he has a good relationship with the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, so the other party is no longer a problem!
"Forget about inheriting the Ancient Emperor's Cave. Even if Zhukun were willing to help, there's no way we could possibly collect all eight pieces of the Tou She Ancient God Jade."
Xiao Lin immediately poured cold water on the two who were in the midst of their excitement.
As for the situation inside the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Xiao Lin was not at liberty to disclose it.
Even so, it was enough to make Ji Li and Ling Miao back down.
"That's true. The Tou She Ancient God Jade is a priceless treasure passed down through the Eight Clans; we simply have no chance of collecting them all..."
After calming down from the initial shock of learning about the location of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Ling Miao also revealed a helpless expression.
Sure enough, she had been too presumptuous!
