"Perhaps your clansmen went deep into the magma before. Once we're strong enough, we can go in and take a look." After much deliberation, Chen Cang still chose not to tell her directly about the Old Dragon Emperor.
For one thing, that news would be quite a bombshell for Zi Yan. It was better to give her some room to adjust and gradually prepare herself.
For another, with their current strength, telling her outright would change nothing. They could not even reach the entrance to Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion. Knowing ahead of time would only add to their troubles.
Zi Yan nodded slightly, readily believing his explanation. She could feel that resonance between bloodlines herself. If one of her clansmen had ventured inside, or even perished there, it would explain everything.
The little girl's emotions came quickly and went just as quickly. She did not dwell on the matter, and within a few minutes, she was brimming with energy again.
On the way back to their residence from beneath the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower, she chattered nonstop, as though making up for all the words she had left unsaid lately. Upon seeing Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, she let out one exaggerated cry of surprise after another.
"Sister Xian'er, your strength is rising so fast! It's only been three months, and you're already an eight-star Dou Wang?"
An average of one star every half month made the little girl exclaim that the Woeful Poison Body was truly terrifying!
"Qing Lin is doing great too. You're already a Dou Zhe! You must be advancing faster than Chen Cang did back then."
Although she had never seen Chen Cang as a child, she spoke with absolute certainty.
The Dou Strength Stage was universally acknowledged to be slow going.
