Qin Haodong had once seen the divine thoughts left by Emperor Xuan Yuan when he got the Xuan Yuan Sword, so the blurry figure was no stranger to him. But at the same time, he wondered if the ancient ruins were created by the Emperor.

He was the ancestor of Huaxia. Why did he set the ruins in the west?

The blurry figure floating in front of him was just a divine thought left by Emperor Xuan Yuan many years ago, so he did not know who the young man was.

“Young man, congratulations on subduing the Three-legged Golden Toad.”

This divine thought was much more solid than the one in the Xuan Yuan Sword. Qin Haodong asked, “Sir, is this golden toad yours?”

Emperor Xuan Yuan said, “Yes, I traveled around and found a Spirit Beast Pouch in a historical site. This Three-legged Golden Toad was hatched in the pouch and has been staying with me since then.”

“I created the ruins here. But it’s a disaster for the low-level entrants.”

“The Three-legged Golden Toad was an ancient spiritual beast and it is as powerful as an early-stage Saint. It is being used as a barrier here. The only way to move forward is to defeat the toad, otherwise, you have to leave.”

Qin Haodong sighed secretly. It seemed that Emperor Xuan Yuan did not anticipate that it would be 5,000 years before anyone could find it.

The Three-legged Golden Toad had already reached the peak of the middle stage of the Saint Realm. Ordinary people could not get in at all.

He asked again, “Sir, why did you leave your ruins here in the west?”

Emperor Xuan Yuan said, “Since you’ve conquered the Three-legged Golden Toad, you’d better move forward. You’ll know all the secrets when you get my treasures.”

Then his divine thoughts disappeared.

It seemed that this was not the final test. Qin Haodong walked on ahead.

After walking another 20 or 30 meters, he made a turn and found a stone house in front of him. But the door was closed.

He came to the door and found that there was an extremely strong restriction formation, which was much stronger than the one in the stone cave.

On the wall next to the stone house, there were a few simple ancient Chinese characters engraved on it. “Only members of the Xuanyuan Family can enter.”

Beneath the text was a palm print, which seemed to contain a psychic wave. This was also a test set for the newcomers.

Xuanyuan Family. It seemed that Emperor Xuan Yuan wanted to test his internal cultivation method.

Then Qin Haodong pressed the palm print and slowly ran the Xuan Yuan Formula to put his Genuine Qi in the print.

The stone gate made a cracking sound and with a flash, the door opened slowly.

Qin Haodong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Xuan Yuan Formula was really the key to gain access to this stone room.

Since he entered the cave, he had encountered four obstacles set by Emperor Xuan Yuan. Why was he so careful? What had been left here?

He stepped into the stone house and looked around. The room was about 20 square meters. There were no decorations here. It was very simple and looked like a temporary shelter.

There was a stone table in the middle of the house with a big and small wooden box on it. Qin Haodong wondered what was inside.

Qin Haodong was about to walk over when Emperor Xuan Yuan’s divine thoughts suddenly appeared again.

“Welcome to this place, my child.”

“Nice to meet you, Sir.”

Qin Haodong bowed to Emperor Xuan Yuan’s thoughts.

The emperor said, “Since you’ve passed all my tests, you’re indeed one of my descendants. You must do your duty to protect the Huaxia family and drive all the Alien Demons out of our space.”

Qin Haodong asked, “Sir, why did you set the cave here? Does it have something to do with the Alien Demons?”

“Yes. Sit down and I’ll tell you everything.”

Although it was just a blurry figure, Emperor Xuan Yuan still sat down cross-legged and said to Qin Haodong, “The Alien Demons invaded the earth and tried to wipe out all the human beings here. They killed our people and brought great misery to Huaxia.”

“All the Huaxia tribes worked together and finally eradicated the invaders.”

“But it wasn’t over. The demons kept coming back to Huaxia, so I went to the West to find their home, the hole in space where they could enter the earth.”

“Resistance was certainly not enough to wipe out this alien race. We still had to find a way to fix the space leak.”

“I came to the West and found that it was also invaded by the Alien Demons, and the situation was much more serious than that in Huaxia.”

“Moreover, most of the experts from the Alien Demons are here. So I thought the space leak might be in the west.”

“I came here on my sword and happened to see the battle between the experts from the Alien Demons and the Western Divine Court and the Dark World.”

“It was a fierce battle. The Divine King of the Divine Court, Cain, the leader of the Blood Race in the Dark World, and Bierhof, the leader of the Wolves, all died together with the masters of the Alien Demons.”

“We were from different places, but they were all humans. I immediately joined the battle and killed the last demon general and became the only survivor on the battlefield.”

“The Divine King gave me the Thorn Crown before he died. The Blood Emperor Cain and the Wolf Emperor, Bierhof, gave me a drop of their original blood, and begged me to bring it to their descendants.”

“I kept these items. But after learning how powerful the Alien Demons were, I realized that I might also be killed in such a fierce battle.”

“So I made a divination for myself, and it showed that I would encounter a bloody disaster and would lose my life.”

“I didn’t care about life or death, but there were some things that had not been settled. I had to leave something to my descendants. So I set up a cave here, hoping that one day the descendants of the Xuan Yuan Family would come here.”

“The Alien Demons are everywhere. I’m afraid these items will be taken away by them, so I set several tests. Only the descendants of the Xuan Yuan Family can get my last words.”

Only then did Qin Haodong understand why the cave tested both his blood and his Xuan Yuan Formula. It turned out that the Emperor had done everything he could to safeguard the place against the Alien Demons.

Emperor Xuan Yuan added, “The Alien Demon is a kind of alien space creature. They are cruel and strong. The most important thing is that they are good at changing their appearances. The advanced alien demons can take on the appearance of our human race at will so that we can’t discover their identities.

“To help the future generations recognize the Alien Demons, I kept their general’s finger. No matter how they change, their aura will be the same.

“With this finger, you can identify any Alien Demons hidden within the human race.”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the small wooden box on the stone table and said to Qin Haodong, “Open it, the finger is inside.”

Qin Haodong walked over and lifted the lid. There was a finger inside, which was furry and much thicker than any human finger.

What struck him was that the scent of the finger was very familiar to him. Why was that? Had he ever been in contact with any Alien Demons?

Emperor Xuan Yuan said, “The war between human beings and the Alien Demons will break out soon. I think maybe we can wipe out their main force, but some of them might slip through the net.”

“Keep this finger and follow the aura to look for the survivors. We must kill all of them.”

Qin Haodong asked, “Sir, will there be any mistakes in finding the alien demons with the aura of this finger?”

Emperor Xuan Yuan shook his head. “So far, I have seen tens of thousands of Alien Demons, and their auras are the same.”

” It’s just like fish. All kinds of fish, big or small, have a fishy smell.”

“It’s the same with the Alien Demons. Regardless of their levels, all alien demons have this smell. But the difference is that the higher-level demons are good at changing their appearances and can sneak into the human society.”

When he heard these, Qin Haodong frowned. There must be some Alien Demons among human beings and he must have met them. But he didn’t know who he/she was for the time being.

Emperor Xuan Yuan continued, “Since you’re here, I must have died in the fight against the Alien Demons. You have to finish what I could not accomplish.

“I promised the Divine King, the ancestor of the Blood Race, and the King of Wolves that I would return their relics to their clansmen, but I was killed before I could fulfill my promise. All these things are in the wooden box. Please give these items to the three races.”

“OK. I’ll do it for you.”

Qin Haodong gave up thinking about who the Alien Demons were. He put the finger into the Storage Ring and opened the larger wooden box.

When he lifted the lid, he was stunned. There were three shiny top-level Spirit Stones inside.

He had reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm with one of them, so he was sure that he could make it to the late stage with the three top-level Spirit Stones.

He held them in his palm and was overjoyed.

Emperor Xuan Yuan explained, “I got these three gems and the Spirit Beast Pouch in the ancient ruins, but I haven’t figured out what they are used for. Just take them if you like.”

“Thank you, Sir!”

Qin Haodong then checked the other items in the wooden box. There was a palm-sized bag next to the Spirit Stones, which emitted a strong fluctuation of Spiritual Qi. This must be an artifact.

He was not sure what the pouch was made of. There was a monster with its mouth wide open on one side and the name ‘Spirit Beast Pouch’ was printed on the other side.

Emperor Xuan Yuan explained, “I got this thing in the relics. It’s a rare treasure. Just put a drop of blood into the monster’s mouth, and you’ll be its master.”

Qin Haodong cut his index finger and put a drop of blood into the monster’s mouth.

The blood seeped away instantly. Then, with a flash of light, the Spirit Beast Pouch also disappeared and a beast tattoo appeared on his chest.

After becoming the master of the pouch, Qin Haodong established contact with it. At the same time, the magic of controlling the Spirit Beast Pouch suddenly came to his mind.

He then checked the pouch with his Spirit and found that it was an independent space. It was almost the same as the Storage Ring. They were keys to another space.

But the difference was that the Storage Ring could not store living things while animals could live well in the space provided by the Spirit Beast Pouch.

After learning how to use it, Qin Haodong turned around and used the incantation on the Three-legged Golden Toad, who had been lying at the door.

Under his control, the toad became the size of an egg. It jumped onto his palm, and then entered the Spirit Beast Pouch.

This was definitely a rare treasure!

Qin Haodong was overjoyed. He got three top-level Spirit Stones and a Spirit Beast Pouch. This trip was definitely worth it.

After putting away all the treasures, he looked at the wooden box again.
