35 Chapter 035: Void Devouring Flame Obtains the Flame Mantra

Gu Xiu proposed three options to deal with the situation of rescuing Gu Xun'er from the Soul Clan.

The first was to threaten the Soul Clan by going to war, but this would have too many risks, and Gu Ling wouldn't agree.

The second was to exchange the Tuo She Ancient god's Jade for Gu Xun'er, but this would reveal the secrets of the reaching Dou Di, and Gu Ling wouldn't agree either.

Gu Xiu said that since neither option was acceptable, there was only a third option left.

When Gu Ling asked about it, Gu Xiu said that they wouldn't save Gu Xun'er, but Gu Ling insisted that they must save her because she was the first divine bloodline of the past millennium, and the only hope for the Gu Clan's bloodline to rejuvenate.

The bloodline of Dou Di was the foundation of their ancient clan's invincibility, and as time passed, it would become increasingly scarce.

It took them thousands of years to produce one divine bloodline of Dou Di and losing it would be a huge setback for their clan.

Therefore, Gu Xun'er could not be sacrificed.

She is the key person to rejuvenate the bloodline of the Gu Clan.

If something happens to her...

...

Gu Xiu laughed inwardly and looked helpless as he turned to Gu Ling.

"Gu Ling, what are you thinking?"

"If you don't agree to go to war with the Soul Clan, that's fine. You also didn't agree to exchange Gu Xun'er for the Tuo She Ancient god's Jade. Now you also don't agree to sacrifice Gu Xun'er?"

"So, are you saying that the Soul Clan is a small tribe and a subordinate force of our Gu Clan, and that they would listen to our Gu Clan?"

"I don't care!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling looked at Gu Yuan and said, "I don't care if you're the clan leader. The Gu Clan cannot go to war with the Soul Clan, the Tuo She Ancient god's Jade cannot be given away, and Gu Xun'er must return to the tribe. You deal with it!"

"All of this is trouble that you, the clan leader, caused. You have to figure it out yourself."

"Me?"

Gu Yuan also felt helpless upon hearing this.

So, if it's trouble I caused, I have to solve it myself?

You have to know that the reason why the Gu Clan has such a profound foundation and is known as the first among the ancient races is all because of Gu Yuan's efforts!

Now...

It's like this!

Gu Yuan was still quite dissatisfied in his heart.

At this time, Gu Dao stepped forward and said, "Clan Leader, since we know that Gu Xun'er is in the Soul Clan, it's easy to deal with."

"Gu Xun'er's life card is still lit up, which means that Gu Xun'er is safe in the Soul Clan and nothing has happened."

"As for rescuing Gu Xun'er, let's wait. Let's wait for the Soul Clan's message."

"If the Soul Clan kidnaps Gu Xun'er, they must have some demands, and since there is no movement from the Soul Clan now, it means that Gu Xun'er is safe. We don't need to rush."

"We can send someone to communicate with the soul Clan and see what the Soul Clan's purpose is and what they want."

"This is much better than guessing here randomly."

"Okay!"

Gu Yuan nodded.

Indeed.

It's better to wait for the message from the Soul Clan and see what they want to do, rather than randomly guessing here.

They can discuss it then.

Thinking randomly here now will only add to the trouble.

...

Soul Realm.

Hun Tiandi has come out of seclusion.

In just over a year, Hun Tiandi has already had a layout in mind.

Although it is not the most perfect one, in the eyes of Hun Tiandi, it is still feasible!

Hun Tiandi has come out of seclusion. The first to sense it was Void Devouring Flame.

In the great hall, Void Devouring Flame appeared with a smile and said, "Tiandi, you've emerged from seclusion. Have you made any progress?"

[T/N: Tiandi translates as Heavenly Emperor. So, in the past chapters, I mistakenly made Void Devouring Flame address Hun Tiandi as Emperor instead of directly using his name. Sorry about that.]

Hun Tiandi shook his head and said, "Without the presence of source energy, one can never reach the level of a Dou Di no matter how long they stay in seclusion."

"Void, I obtained something good on my last trip outside. Perhaps you'd be interested," Hun Tiandi said, looking at Void Devouring Flame.

"Oh?"

"What is it?"

Void Devouring Flame was curious. At their level of strength, there were very few things that could catch their eye.

But the fact that Hun Tiandi said that he might be interested in it showed that it wasn't ordinary.

Hun Tiandi said, "On my last trip outside, I obtained a cultivation technique!"

"Oh?" Void Devouring Flame was even more curious. "What kind of technique? Since it caught the eye of Dou Sheng?"

"Is it a high-level Heavenly Grade technique?"

"There are Heavenly Grade techniques in the Soul Clan, so this technique must be more than just a normal Heavenly Grade technique, right?"

Hun Tiandi shook his head and said, "Void, you're wrong. This technique isn't a high-level Heavenly Grade technique, but a low-level Huang Grade technique."

"What?" Void Devouring Flame was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He looked at Hun Tiandi with disbelief and said, "Tiandi, are you joking? A low-level Huang Grade technique caught your eye?"

"Does this technique have some special feature?"

"Yeah!" Hun Tiandi nodded and said, "This technique does have a special feature, and that is evolution."

"What?" Void Devouring Flame was skeptical at first, but after hearing Hun Tiandi's words, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Evolution? Tiandi, are you saying that this technique can evolve?"

"Where in the world would there be a technique that can evolve? Are you trying to fool me, Tiandi?"

Hun Tiandi looked seriously at Void Devouring Flame and said, "Void, do you think I would lie to you?"

As he spoke, he reached into his storage ring and took out a cultivation technique, which flew slowly towards Void Devouring Flame.

Looking at the technique flying towards him, Void Devouring Flame received it with some skepticism.

"Flame...Mantra..." Void Devouring Flame looked at the name of the technique and was taken aback.

These two words, "Flame Mantra" brought his thoughts back to the past.

There were 23 types of heavenly flames in the world, and Void Devouring Flame was the strongest on the Heavenly Flame List, the first-ranked heavenly flame. But one day, someone appeared and took away all his glory.
