Of course, that was only a fleeting thought. Xiao Yan immediately asked another, more crucial question.
"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, does Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode truly contain the Origin Qi that can allow one to break through to Dou Di?"
"I don't know whether Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode contains Origin Qi, but I do know that it contains something called an Emperor Grade Nascent Pill."
"An Emperor Grade Nascent Pill?!"
"It is an Emperor Grade medicinal pill that was never fully refined. Refining an Emperor Grade medicinal pill requires Origin Qi, so the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill most likely contains the Origin Qi needed to break through to Dou Di."
"There is no need to doubt it. This is true—I have been to Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode."
"Senior, you've been to Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode? Then have you already obtained the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill?"
Lan Hong shook his head.
"When I tried to enter the cave abode, I was stopped by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's projection. He wished for the person who gathered all the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade pieces to obtain the resource he had left behind that could allow one to advance to Dou Di."
"How could it be like this? If someone like Hun Tiandi gathered all the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade pieces and became a Dou Di, wouldn't that be disastrous?"
"I told you before, didn't I? Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's true form was a Heavenly Flame. The struggles between humans meant nothing to him, so he did not care what kind of person opened the cave abode and took away the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill he left behind."
"Since Tuoshe Ancient Emperor did not care who took the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill, why did he stop you, Senior?"
"The reason is simple—and interesting.
