Chapter 224: Fooling Gu Yuan
Gu Yuan shifted his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing's young body. The two did look very similar, but he did not sense the slightest trace of Dou Di's bloodline. It was estimated that it had completely dried up.

"I don't know when you died, could you tell me some news about the ancient times?
I am willing to trade resources for it.”

Gu Yuan bowed to Zhu Zhuqing and said.

One Dou Emperor in the world was already the most prosperous era they could imagine, but three thousand Dou Emperors, he couldn't even imagine how grand that would be.

There are not many records about this in the ancient books of his clan.

If possible, he would like to learn some events from the ancient times from Zhu Zhuqing.

"There's no need for resources, just some common sense. Just give me some herbs to restore my soul."

Zhu Zhuqing can't ask for too much, but she can't ask for nothing either. This is human nature.

"Yes, but the elixir that works on Dou Sheng takes some time to prepare, so it may take some time before I can give it to you."

"Hmm? Are the elixirs needed by Dou Sheng so rare?

Forget it, just ask whatever you want to know. I can answer three questions for you."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to get too entangled with Gu Yuan, so she planned to deal with it directly with three questions.

"Rare... three..."

Gu Yuan's eyebrows jumped fiercely. Even his ancient clan didn't often have ninth-grade elixirs. This...

Well, there were three thousand Dou Di in the ancient times, and they might not be short of ninth-grade elixirs. It’s these up-and-coming ones who are too narrow-minded.

There are three thousand Dou Emperors. During that period, maybe it was the norm in the Douqi Continent that there were more Dou Saints than Dou Zuns.

Unlike now, a Fighting Saint is the backbone of a family, and except for the ancient clans, no other force has a Fighting Saint.

However, thinking of the three people who were qualified to ask questions, Gu Yuan fell into deep thought. Three was actually enough for him.

Or maybe you don’t need three at all.

"I want to know how those Doudi in the ancient times achieved breakthroughs, and why it is impossible for people in the Douqi Continent to achieve breakthroughs to the Doudi level now."

Gu Yuan’s first question was indeed about how to break through to become a Dou Di.

In response to Gu Yuan's question, Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a while before answering.

“As far as I know, there are three conditions required to break through to the Doudi realm on the Douqi continent. One of them is to break through to the Emperor realm in the soul realm, and then cultivate the Douqi realm to the perfection of the Dousheng realm.

As for the last condition, it is necessary to absorb a kind of energy from the origin of heaven and earth called the source of heaven and earth energy."

The reason why Zhu Zhuqing answered Gu Yuan's questions was, firstly, because she was discovered and wanted to protect herself, secondly, these questions were not of much value to her, and thirdly, in her opinion, Gu Yuan was a good person.

"The source of heaven and earth energy is indeed like this!"

Gu Yuan raised his head, his eyes full of complicated expressions.

"Then what is the source of heaven and earth?"

Gu Yuan now wants to figure out what source energy is and why it is necessary to break through to the Dou Emperor level.

“Source Qi is a non-renewable resource produced along with the Dou Qi Continent.

The birth of every Dou Emperor represents the consumption of a portion of source energy.

In the ancient times, the abundance of source energy led to the proliferation of Dou Di like mushrooms after a rain.

But the Dou Emperor is immortal. When he leaves the Douqi Continent, he will also take away that part of the source energy, so the source energy in this world is becoming less and less with the passage of time.

At the beginning, there was a Dou Emperor who once said that there would be no more Dou Emperor in the future.

I never thought this day would actually come.”

Zhu Zhuqing sighed, as if what she said was true.

"Source energy, consumption, no?"

Gu Yuan quickly captured several key words.

"That's right. To sense the source energy, one must have an emperor soul. When I was alive, I was only a six-star Dou Sheng. I only heard this from the elders of my clan.

Your era is at least two eras away from the era I was in, and the source of energy may have been exhausted long ago."

Apart from falsifying his own identity, everything else Zhu Zhuqing said was basically the truth.

Gu Yuan finally understood that breaking through to the Dou Di level was not something that could be achieved just by wanting to, but actually required external means.

Gu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing. He wanted to know if Zhu Zhuqing knew any other way to break through the Emperor Realm.

"I know what you want to ask, but I can only say I don't know. After all, even I didn't reach the threshold of touching the Dou Di at that time, and most of the information I got was from classics, so it's useless to ask."

Zhu Zhuqing directly extinguished the seed of hope in Gu Yuan's heart. Gu Yuan has lived for who knows how many years, how could he not know whether there is still source energy in Douqi Continent?
All I can say is that the seniors are well fed while the juniors are crying.

However, he was not that eager to break through to become a Dou Di.

As long as he can be sure that no one can break through to the Dou Di level, then he doesn't need to worry about anything.

After all, Gu Yuan can fight two people at the same time.

Besides, the ancient clan has good relations with other big clans, so who could cause trouble for him?

"Hey!

I didn't expect that the cause and effect would be here, Yuanqi, Doudi, no wonder the intervals between the appearances of Doudi in ancient times became longer and longer, so this is the case. "

Gu Yuan sighed but didn't feel very disappointed.

"Thank you for telling me, Your Excellency. If it weren't for you, I might have been troubled by this problem for many years."

Gu Yuan shook his head and sighed.

After learning that the source energy of the Doupo world was completely exhausted, he suddenly didn't want to break through to the Doudi level so much. It was useless to think about it anyway.

The eight major families have been searching for so many years but have not found any clues. He doesn't believe that there is really any source of energy in this world.

Perhaps it is just as Zhu Zhuqing said, at this point the source energy in the world should have completely disappeared!
But it's better to disappear, so he doesn't have to worry about someone standing over his head.

Of course, perhaps there is still an opportunity to break through to become a Dou Emperor in Tushe Ancient Emperor’s cave.

But this is too difficult, and no one is willing to share, just like the eight major families each hold a piece of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade but have never thought about cooperation.

No one wants to have another Dou Di appearing above their head.

"Does Patriarch Gu have anything else to ask?"

Zhu Zhuqing's soul body swayed and her aura fluctuated slightly.

“No, I will have someone send the soul-repairing elixir to you soon.

However, are you interested in joining our ancient clan?"

Gu Yuan has a lot of ideas about Zhu Zhuqing, this "old fossil". Her ancient experiences alone are worth winning over.

Not to mention that Zhu Zhuqing was once a fighting saint, and little Zhu Zhuqing was also an amazing genius.

Once they are successfully won over, they will become two future fighting saints.

"I don't have any idea at the moment. Let Xiao Zhuqing think about it herself when she grows up."

After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, his figure turned into black mist and quickly returned to little Zhu Zhuqing's body.

It was obvious that he didn't want to chat with Gu Yuan any more.

"Okay then, but my daughter has been sent to the Xiao family for foster care due to family reasons. Please help me pay for her. I will be very grateful."

Gu Yuan bowed to little Zhu Zhuqing who was lying on the ground.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of paying attention to him, Gu Yuan left politely.

He had to change his plan. In addition to letting Xiao Xun'er contact the Xiao family, he also had to contact the Zhu family.

If possible, it would be best to let Xun'er and this Xiao Zhuqing become friends.

Although his ancient clan could not send out strong men to protect Xun'er, wasn't it good luck that they found a strong outsourced man?

Even though he was a dead Fighting Saint, he was still a Fighting Saint.

As long as the soul is stabilized, it will be a strong force.

If Xun'er could perform consistently and lure little Zhu Zhuqing to the ancient clan, then he would make a fortune.

As for what Zhu Zhuqing said, Gu Yuan had some doubts, but not much.

Because what Zhu Zhuqing said was well-founded.

As for the suspicion that Zhu Zhuqing, as a person from ancient times, would leave behind the so-called source energy?

He had reservations and didn't dare to deny it, but he felt that the possibility was not high.

After all, according to his speculation, Zhu Zhuqing was at most a seven-star Douluo at her peak, and this strength might be very strong now.

But in the ancient times, she was probably not even cannon fodder, so even if she had the energy, it would not be her turn.
