As her incredible voice rang out, Xiao Yan's gaze towards her carried a hint of astonishment.
"Senior, could it be that you know the reason why no one on the continent has been able to become a Dou Emperor since ancient times?"
The mystery of the disappearance of the ancient Dou Emperors was something that even the current eight ancient clans were not entirely clear about. Even Xiao Yan only knew that the main reason no one could become a Dou Emperor anymore was due to the disappearance of source energy.
He had naively thought that the powerful Dou Emperors on the continent had continuously ascended to higher planes, eventually depleting the source energy on the continent.And after losing all the Origin Qi, naturally no one could become Emperor again.
But now it seems that the reason for the disappearance of the ancient Fighting Emperors is probably not just their constant ascension and departure. Although he has no concrete evidence now, he vaguely knows that things are probably not that simple.
"I know some, but not much." The old woman gently shook her head and said, "Although you are extremely talented, you are far from reaching the level of knowing this matter.
To get involved in such a secret, you must at least reach the Dou Sheng level to be qualified to participate.""My young master is destined to become a saint, what's wrong with knowing it sooner?" Xiao Wu curled his lip upon hearing the old woman's voice.
"Heh, knowing too early, aren't you afraid your Emperor's son will attract the strange and ominous?" The old woman smiled indifferently, but the three people's expressions changed again and again.
"Senior, are you talking about a very strange thing, a black mist that causes people to grow red hair all over their bodies and go mad?"
Xiao Yan slowly asked.
"Indeed, you actually know about this kind of thing?" A hint of surprise appeared in the old woman's eyes."I encountered something similar at another ruin before." Xiao Yan was referring to the Yin-Yang Evil Saint's ruin.
"As you gradually grow stronger, you may understand these things further. Only when you possess the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng or even a Dou Di will you be qualified to lift this veil."
The old woman shook her head and said, "Young people, you should still leave. It's not that I'm hostile towards you, but this inheritance is only suitable for the descendants of our lineage. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't be able to use it."
"Walking a path that is not suitable for you will not benefit you."As she spoke, she glanced rather warily at the two old men behind Xiao Yan. Two Half-Saints were not people she wanted to offend. If a great battle were to break out, even if she were lucky enough to win, most of this inheritance ground would be destroyed.
Hearing her words, Xiao Yan didn't pay them any mind, but instead looked at the old woman and smiled, "I just heard that Netherworld Demonic Serpent call you Medusa, Senior. I wonder what your connection is to the Medusa Queen of the Snake-People clan in the desert today."
"The current Snake-People clan is my descendant, and I am the first generation Medusa."
The old woman slowly opened her mouth.Just hearing Xiao Yan's question, a glint flashed in the old woman's eyes, and a different idea arose.
"You are the first generation Medusa, and the Snake-People are descendants of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python clan?"
A bewildered look first appeared on Xiao Yan's face, followed by a look of understanding.
That's right, if that's the case, the reason and origin of the Snake-People's appearance in this Tagor Desert would be explained.
Seeing the bewildered expression on Xiao Yan's face, the first generation Medusa revealed a hint of a smile.
"Young man, how about we make a deal?"
"Senior, please speak."Xiao Yan nodded slightly.
He held the inheritance of the Seven-Colored Demon Saint in high regard.
"Now that the legacy of our Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python clan has reappeared in the world, it probably won't be long before the current Medusa comes seeking the inheritance, especially if she is still in the vicinity," she said.
As she spoke, she sighed helplessly, "I am now nearing the end of my lifespan and fear I won't be able to protect the new generation of Medusa as she grows, particularly after she inherits the Demon Saint's legacy, which will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of countless powerful beings.""I hope you can shelter her for a while, until she grows into a true powerhouse and revitalizes the Serpent-People race."
"Did you even need to say that? We're all family sooner or later." Xiao Yan chuckled inwardly, but then asked his question.
"With your strength, senior, you could have completely protected the Serpent-People race and helped them grow strong. If you had protected the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python all along, the Serpent-People race, even at its worst, would be a powerful force in the Northwest Continent by now."
"Why have you been hiding here, senior?"Hearing Xiao Yan's words, a trace of melancholy appeared on the face of the first Medusa.
"It's not that I don't want to protect the Snake-People tribe, but there was really no way back then. I can't leave this ancient city now."
Saying that, she looked at Xiao Yan and smiled, "Didn't you notice anything strange about my aura?"
"In that tragic battle back then, my father was seriously injured, and almost all of his subordinates perished. Only Ghost and a few others escaped.
But our clan's enemies did not all die in battle.""To preserve the last legacy of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python clan, my father concealed the entire space before he fell, and I became the final guardian, merging with this skeleton at the same time."
"To prevent those people from discovering the secret that the Snake-People race could inherit the legacy of the Seven-Colored clan, I hid most of the secrets related to the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python within the Snake-People race a long time ago.
This is also the reason why the Snake-People race is not very powerful today.""Just how strong were the enemies of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python clan back then, that they could injure even a powerful Saint like the Seven-Colored Demon Saint so severely?"
A hint of doubt appeared on Xiao Yan's face. With the Seven-Colored Demon Saint and his subordinates' strength back then, there were very few forces on the entire continent that could threaten them. Even some of the weaker clans among the Ancient Eight Clans would have to pay a considerable price to deal with them.
Such a powerful force should have been recorded in the Xiao clan's records.
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, the first generation Medusa showed a trace of sadness on her face.They are not a single race, but composed of multiple races, though the two most powerful among them possess the strength of ancient races.
One is the Fallen Sky Phoenix, and the name of the other race is the Soul Devouring Clan.
Hearing the first name, Xiao Yan only frowned slightly, but when he heard the second name, his expression changed drastically.
"The Soul Devouring Clan?"
"Indeed, this clan was notorious on the continent back then, and many Dou Di bloodlines were once devoured by this strange clan.""Back then, one of the reasons for World War I was that this clan had their eyes on our Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline."
The first Medusa nodded gently, but Xiao Yan's brows were already furrowed high.
He had also heard of the Fallen Heavenly Phoenix, said to be a branch of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan that had undergone some incredible changes, after which the entire branch went mad.
As for the Soul Devouring Clan, the higher-ups of the Xiao clan were all too familiar with them.
"Senior, the Soul Devouring Clan was destroyed by the Soul Clan over a thousand years ago."
Xiao Yan said slowly.Sorry, I confused you again.
