Chapter 815: Gathering the Anomalous Flames
"Not bad, I am indeed the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, a lingering remnant soul in the Dou Qi World."
Hearing Bai Qi's words, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's remnant soul nodded and replied to Bai Qi.
"At that time, after the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor broke through to the Dou Emperor realm, he established this Inheritance Cave, intending to leave his own inheritance to the descendants of the Dou Qi World."
"And I am the guardian he left within this Inheritance Cave, awaiting the inheritor."
"Only, I guess the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor never expected that, in the end, it would be you all who came here!"
The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's remnant soul said to Bai Qi and the others with a hint of helplessness.
Bai Qi and the others could not appreciate the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance.
That is also the reason for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's remnant soul's helpless expression.
"Hm?"
"Your aura is off?"
Suddenly, Lü Bu stared intently at the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's remnant soul, his face solemn as he spoke.
Immediately, amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Lü Bu seized the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's remnant soul in his hand and examined it closely.
"What is this?"
"The aura of the World Origin?"
"Tell me! How does the World Origin aura appear on you?"
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Lü Bu's eyes as he sternly questioned the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's remnant soul.
"What!"
"General Lü, are you saying it's true—that he truly has the World Origin aura on him?"
Hearing Lü Bu's words, Bai Qi and Huo Qubing both stared at the remnant soul in Lü Bu's hand with shocked faces, asking him.
Since Bai Qi and Huo Qubing have never encountered the World Origin nor known its aura.
But Lü Bu is different; he has personally captured several World Origins, so he is very familiar with the World Origin aura.
"Not bad, although this aura is quite faint, it is indeed the World Origin aura; I will not misperceive it!"
Looking at the remnant soul in his hand, Lü Bu said to the crowd with a solemn expression.
Hearing Lü Bu's confident words, everyone became excited.
They had searched for so long, and finally obtained information about the World Consciousness.
"Tell us, why does the World Origin aura appear on you?"
Staring at the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's remnant soul in his hand, Lü Bu asked coldly.
"General, I truly have no idea what World Origin you speak of!"
"You know, I am merely a remnant soul; my knowledge is limited!"
"Moreover, I don't even know what the World Origin is!"
Seeing the crowd's eager gazes fixed on him, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's remnant soul hurriedly explained.
Hearing him, the others understood that he probably truly did not know.
After all, he is merely a remnant soul left by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.
His mission is to pass the inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor onward.
Once the inheritance is given to the destined person, this remnant soul will most likely dissipate.
"Hmph!"
"Whether you truly don't know or simply refuse to speak, I will personally inspect."
Since it concerns the World Origin, Lü Bu does not dare to be careless.
Snorting coldly at the remnant soul in his hand, Lü Bu directly employed the Soul-Searching Technique on it.
"Ah..."
As Lü Bu began the Soul-Search, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's remnant soul let out successive cries of agony.
Those subjected to the Soul-Searching Technique must endure soul-tearing pain.
However, Bai Qi and the others, regardless of the remnant soul's cries, watched Lü Bu with tense faces.
After one hour, Lü Bu's unpleasant expression ended the Soul-Search.
"General Lü, how is the situation?"
Although from Lü Bu's complexion the others had already guessed the result, Huo Qubing still asked him.
"This remnant soul did not lie; it truly does not know any information about the World Origin."
Lü Bu, with a grim expression, said to Huo Qubing and the others.
Hearing Lü Bu, everyone's complexion turned rather grim.
They hadn't expected that, just after obtaining the World Origin news.
But the clue abruptly broke there.
"However, in his memory I discovered that gathering all the anomalous flames can condense Source Qi, thereby breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm."
"Moreover, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's true form is an anomalous flame in the world."
"He devised the Burning Secret, devouring various anomalous flames, and finally made a single breakthrough to the Dou Emperor realm."
"The top-ranked anomalous flame on the Anomalous Flame List is the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor."
Lü Bu relayed the information he uncovered to the crowd.
"What! The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is the number one anomalous flame on the Anomalous Flame List!"
Hearing Lü Bu, Gu Yuan exclaimed in shock.
And beside him, Lei Ying and Yan Jin, along with a third person, also wore shocked expressions.
This information was simply overwhelming for them.
"No wonder no one knows the number one strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking!"
"So this strange fire is actually the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor himself!"
Gu Yuan, who had come to his senses, murmured to the others.
"In that case, since the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's memory is about gathering all the strange fires, why don't we collect these strange fires ourselves and see what will happen!"
Just as everyone felt helpless, Bai Qi suddenly spoke to the crowd.
"Alright, I happen to know the method of gathering strange fires from his memory, so let me summon the strange fires!"
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Lü Bu also nodded and said to the crowd.
Seeing this, the others had no objections and nodded at Lü Bu.
Immediately, Lü Bu stepped onto the altar of the Strange Fire Plaza.
Lü Bu's hand continuously unleashed a series of incantations toward the corresponding strange fire pillars.
As the incantations struck the strange fire pillars, the sub‑flames on those pillars instantly flared brightly.
Mysterious waves radiated outward toward the entire Dou Qi World.
"Tian Xia strange fires, hear my command, return!"
With Lü Bu's booming shout, the strange fire pillars across the Strange Fire Plaza suddenly flared intensely.
"Buzz..."
Half an hour later, a buzzing sound came.
At the same time, a mass of high‑temperature, dark‑yellow flame appeared on the last strange fire pillar.
"This is the Dark‑Yellow Flame, number twenty‑three on the Strange Fire Ranking!"
Seeing this flame, Yao Dan exclaimed in surprise.
Immediately thereafter, more clusters of strange fire kept appearing atop the strange fire pillars.
"This is the Beast Spirit Fire, number twenty‑two on the Strange Fire Ranking!"
"This is the Azure Lotus Earth‑core Fire, rank nineteen... and the Sea‑core Flame, rank fifteen..."
Whenever a strange fire appeared, Yao Dan shouted in surprise.
"Fourteenth, the Fallen Heart Flame... Eleventh, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire... Ninth, the Three‑Thousand Blaze Fire..."
During this time, the strange fires owned by the Yao Clan, Lei Clan, and Yan Clan also flew out of their bodies and rose onto the strange fire pillars.
