The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame did not immediately answer Xiao Yan's question after hearing it. Instead, it was quiet for a long time.
A look of reminiscence appeared on his face as he said faintly, "That place …"
There was a slight pause.
"It's called the Black-Corner Region!"
The Dou Qi Continent changed with the passage of time. Things remained the same but people changed. Many places disappeared or changed their names.
Only the Black-Corner Region remained the same from the beginning to the end.
It was the same name.
It was just as chaotic!
“？？？”
"Black-Corner Region?"
Xiao Yan was startled when he heard the words of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. He descended into an instant of stillness.
His face was filled with astonishment.
Black-Corner Region?
Xiao Yan had once roamed the 'Black-Corner Region'.
Xiao Yan had also left behind some legends within the 'Black-Corner Region'.
The Tou She Ancient Emperor's cave was in the Black-Corner Region?
Xiao Yan had also muddled along within the 'Black-Corner Region' for many years. He was also quite familiar with just where the 'Black-Corner Region' was located.
There really wasn't anything out of the ordinary.
Hmm …
Wait a minute!
Xiao Yan thought of something.
It might be the Tou She Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling.
Jia Nan Academy!
Below the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, there was a world of magma.
In the past, in order to refine the Fallen Heart Flame, he was lucky enough to barge into that magma world.
If one were to ask where the Tou She Ancient God Cave was located in the Black-Corner Region, then that would be the only place.
Xiao Yan revealed an expression of sudden understanding.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
…
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame opened its mouth and said when it saw Xiao Yan's expression, "You seem to have an idea in your heart."
"Yes!"
Xiao Yan nodded. He did not have any intention of hiding as he said, "I might know where the Tou She Ancient God Mansion is located."
“？？？”
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was slightly startled, but it soon came to a realization and said, "It seems like you are also a blessed genius with great luck."
Xiao Yan was noncommittal when he heard this.
Indeed.
For him to be able to grow to such a height, who could say that Xiao Yan's luck was not shocking?
He was able to go from being a mere mortal.
He was one of the strongest people in the continent.
Who could deny the luck on his body?
Sometimes, even Xiao Yan himself wondered if he was the legendary child of destiny.
Who was the main character?
This thought appeared in his mind more than once.
But he denied it time and time again.
If he was the main character.
Then …
He was the most aggrieved and cowardly main character.
In this world, everyone was the main character. The strong were respected, and they developed wretchedly.
The one who had the last laugh was the real protagonist.
…
Xiao Yan said, "Since you know the location of the Tou She Ancient God Mansion."
"Then I should head to the Black-Corner Region next."
His words were filled with excitement.
His words.
He seemed to be discussing with the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
After all …
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame knew the location of the Tou She Ancient God Cave.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame should know about the dangers of the Tou She Ancient God Cave, right?
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame shook its head and said, "Even if you know where the Tou She Ancient God Cave is, without the key, what are you going to do there?"
"What can I do there?"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame would not forget that there was once a person who knew the location of the Tou She Ancient God Cave.
He ran over eagerly, wanting to snatch the inheritance left behind by the Tou She Ancient Emperor.
But …
Because he didn't have a key.
He could only become a 'watchdog' of the Tou She Ancient God Cave. He was unable to enter or leave.
He had completely lost his freedom.
Now …
If Xiao Yan ran over without the key, he would end up losing his freedom and becoming a 'watchdog'.
Whether Xiao Yan became a 'watchdog' or not did not have much to do with him.
However, he had now become a 'Heavenly Flame' that Xiao Yan refined.
If Xiao Yan were to become a 'watchdog', he would also completely lose his freedom.
He had escaped from that place with great difficulty. He did not wish to return and walk into a trap.
Therefore …
He needed to stop Xiao Yan from taking the initiative to become a 'watchdog'.
Not for Xiao Yan, but for himself!
…
"Key?"
Xiao Yan frowned when he heard the words of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
He was a little stunned!
The Tou She Ancient God Cave actually needed a key!
This caused him to be a little surprised.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan. He immediately explained, "If you did not have a key, the Tou She Ancient God Cave would have been emptied by others."
"Without a key, you can forget about opening the Tou She Ancient God Cave and obtaining the opportunities within. You can only remain outside the Tou She Ancient God Cave for the rest of your life."
"This …"
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose in embarrassment upon hearing this. "Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, the Tou She Ancient God Cave requires a key to open it."
"Do you know the key?"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame replied, "I do!"
A reminiscing expression surfaced on the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's face. He said, "That old fellow Tou She Ancient God Cave split the key to the Tou She Ancient God Cave into eight and scattered them across the continent."
"Eventually, eight clans obtained it."
"Eight clans?"
Xiao Yan's heart pounded. He felt that the eight clans that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had mentioned were the eight ancient clans.
The key that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had mentioned was the Tou She Ancient God Jade that the eight clans possessed.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame ignored Xiao Yan. It was unaware of Xiao Yan's thoughts as it continued, "These eight clans are the eight ancient clans. The Hun, Gu, Lei, Yan, Yao, Ling, Shi, and Xiao clans."
"Each of the eight clans obtained a key. This key is also called the Tou She Ancient God Jade!"
"As expected!"
Xiao Yan quietly exclaimed in his heart. His guess was indeed as the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had said.
Xiao Yan asked, "Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, do we need the Tou She Ancient God Jade if we wish to open it?"
"Yes."
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame nodded. "If we wish to open the Tou She Ancient God Jade, we must gather all eight pieces of the Tou She Ancient God Jade to form a complete key."
Xiao Yan asked, "Can we not use the key?"
"Can we open it with absolute strength?"
"Absolute strength?"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame involuntarily found Xiao Yan's words funny. His eyes contained some ridicule.
"There was once an advanced nine star Dou Sheng who had the same idea as you!"
"Without the Tou She Ancient God Jade, he forcefully barged into the Tou She Ancient God Mansion. Now, he has lost his freedom and has been suppressed in the Tou She Ancient God Mansion for ten thousand years. He has yet to escape even now."
"Are you sure you want to do the same?
Do you want to copy him? "
"I …"
Xiao Yan's heart was shocked upon hearing this.
He was immediately left speechless.
Even an advanced nine star Dou Sheng had died in the Tou She Ancient God Mansion. Xiao Yan was only a seven star Dou Sheng.
This was no different from giving his life away.
"I don't have the key and I can't use brute force. What should I do?" Xiao Yan involuntarily asked emotionally.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame extended his hand and said, "I have already told you everything that I need to tell you. Your choice is up to you."
"Now … you should be able to keep your promise and return my freedom, right?"
"Huh?"
Xiao Yan gradually woke up from his beautiful dream in the 'Tou She Ancient God Mansion' after hearing the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's words.
"Everyone knows that … I, Xiao Yan … always keep my word!"
"As long as I obtain the opportunity in the Tou She Ancient God Mansion, I will definitely return your freedom!"
Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, "???"
