The Hun Tiandi looked up at a forty-five-degree angle, his hands behind his back, his face solemn, and sighed, "It's all my fault for being greedy."
"Back then, when I subdued the Nihility Devouring Flame, I was Origin Qi and planned to break through to the Emperor Realm Emperor Realm in one fell swoop. However, I failed in my attempt. The Dou Qi Continent had run out of Origin Qi, making it difficult to break through to the Emperor Realm. It was at that time that the Nihility Devouring Flame told me that as long as I collected the blood of the Ancient Eight Clans and mastered all the Tou She Ancient God Jade, I could find a way to break through to the Dou Di in the Heavenly Tomb."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but curl his lip and say, "So you secretly wiped out the Xiao Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans?"
"Eh, you actually know about this? But it wasn't me who did it." The Hun Tiandi shook his head and said, "Back then, when I sensed the abnormality of the Nihility Devouring Flame Spirit, I planned to forcibly refine it. Perhaps by completely refining it, I could take another step closer to the Emperor Realm. However, that was precisely a conspiracy!"
"The spirit of the Nihility Devouring Flame was annihilated by me, and I completely refined the Nihility Devouring Flame. However, the Nihility Devouring Flame was originally the flame of the Tou She Ancient God. Soul Imprint of the Tou She Ancient God revived, and with boundless power, it pulled me into a mysterious world. I fought against it."
"In that battle, my body collapsed and my soul was injured. I have now fallen to the level of Half-Saint and been trapped in that world for a long time, until one day I found that sliver of space and escaped!"
At this point, the Hun Tiandi gazed at Xiao Tian and smiled, "I was able to escape thanks to you; your space is actually linked to that mysterious world."
"Huh?" Xiao Tian exclaimed in surprise.
"How long have you been secretly observing me?"
"Not long after, around the time you and that little girl with the Woeful Poison Body left Fallen God Ravine."
"Holy crap! So what? Don't tell me that the current Soul Hun Tiandi of the Soul Clan is actually the Tou She Ancient God?!" Xiao Tian pouted.
"Although it's a bit melodramatic, but..." The Hun Tiandi chuckled awkwardly, "That's how it is. For some reason, the Tou She Ancient God wants to be resurrected, so he's launching a grand conspiracy. Therefore, you must go to the Hall of Souls. I will secretly protect you, and since the Tou She Ancient God needs to find the Tou She Ancient God Jade, you are absolutely safe."
"Pah! Who are you trying to fool! The Tou She Ancient God Jade belongs to the Tou She Ancient God. Do you think he couldn't have made it himself? If, as you say, that Soul Clan member really is the Tou She Ancient God, then my going there would truly be like a lamb entering a tiger's den." Xiao Tian's expression was one of disdain.
The Hun Tiandi shook his head and laughed, "Not so. As I said before, I fought it fiercely. Although it won, it only did so by using my name to order its clansmen below the level of Dou Sheng to do things. Once its secret is exposed, several Dou Sheng of my clan can help me kill it!"
"Really?" Xiao Tian asked suspiciously, "Why should I believe you? I believe you are the Hun Tiandi, but who knows if you are good or bad, or if the Tou She Ancient God is bad?"
"Hehe, as expected of my junior, you are cautious by nature and have an exceptional mind. As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its cubs. You are my grandson, and I have no reason to harm you."
The Hun Tiandi uttered astonishing words.
Xiao Tian was stunned! This butterfly storm was a bit terrifying! How did I become the grandson of the Hun Tiandi?
Who are you trying to fool?!
"Although the Xiao Clan is extinct, your Xiao Clan is still a descendant of the Xiao Clan, and you possess two hidden imperial bloodlines. If you don't believe me, hold this Soul Stone tightly. This is what our clan uses to test the level of the Soul Clan's imperial bloodline and also to unlock the abilities of that bloodline!"
Xiao Tian was skeptical, but since he had unlimited resurrection coins and wasn't afraid of courting death, most of his resurrection coins were sealed away.
As Xiao Tian grasped the Soul Stone, he felt his inner universe about to explode!
