The Strongest in Qingshan Town

Putting everything else aside, he really coveted the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

If the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art had not been far too valuable, he would definitely have chosen the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

Fortunately, although he had not chosen it, it had now fallen into his hands anyway.

The thought of fighting someone in the future, pointing his middle finger and shattering the firmament, pressing his opponent down so hard they could not raise their head, filled Xiao Han with excitement.

After all, no one could resist giving someone the middle finger.

Bang.

At Hun Tiandi's secluded cultivation quarters, he smashed a table in his fury.

"Fuck! Why the hell does my Hun Clan have to help Xiao Yan's dad become a Dou Emperor?" Hun Tiandi was so angry his liver hurt.

His cultivation had now fallen to the late Seven-Star stage, putting him on the same level as the Four Demon Saints.

If word of this got out, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Long before Xiao Yan became a Dou Di, the Nihility Devouring Flame would be the first to tear him apart.

After all, his partnership with the Nihility Devouring Flame had begun when he was a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

Once his anger subsided, he packed his belongings, gathering up pills and treasures and putting them all into his Storage Ring. Then he tore open space and plunged in without looking back.

Jia Ma Empire.

"Ah!"

Gu Yuan rubbed the space between his brows.

His strength had truly plummeted, first falling from the peak of Nine-Star to early Nine-Star, then from early Nine-Star to mid Eight-Star.

Fortunately, what let him breathe a sigh of relief was that Hun Tiandi had suffered even worse than he had, having fallen all the way to Seven-Star Dou Saint.

For the time being, he did not need to worry about the Hun Clan coming to attack.

The only thing giving him a headache was that Xiao Xuan no longer trusted him.

Why give it to Xiao Han instead of him?

"I hope he won't come knocking so soon." With a quiet sigh, Gu Yuan opened the space to see what good things he could exchange for one point.

A moment later,

he withdrew, looking thoroughly dejected.

It was not that there were no treasures that could restore him to Nine-Star Dou Sheng, or even let him break through to Dou Di. There were plenty.

But he could not afford a single one.

Just one Ninth-Rank Saint Spirit Pill, a single dose of which could bypass bottlenecks and advance him by an entire star, cost two points.

He was exactly one point short!

"Damn it."

Gu Yuan looked skyward and heaved a long sigh.

In the end, still unwilling to give up, he exchanged his point for a Marrow-Cleansing Pill of the ninth rank.

He would not take it himself, but he could give it to Xiao Yan.

He could no longer kill Hun Tiandi, so he could only invest in his future son-in-law.

Otherwise, the next time he entered the Answering Space, he might not even be able to keep this one remaining point.

Misty Cloud Sect.

Xiao Yan hurried toward Yun Yun's residence.

He was no fool.

After learning that he would become a Dou Di in the future, he naturally understood that his family had already been targeted.

Wasn't that damned Hun Clan turning his father into a Dou Emperor precisely to threaten him, a future Dou Di?

For his own safety and his family's, he had to hurry home and tell his father and Xun'er to hide at once.

Tagor Desert.

A purple snake tail brushed lightly across the sand, revealing Queen Medusa's sultry figure.

Everything she had seen today had truly overwhelmed the mind of a mere Dou Emperor queen like her.

"Dou Di, Dou Sheng... humans are so terrifyingly powerful. Must my Snake-People Tribe remain in the desert forever?" Queen Medusa sighed inwardly.

Then her gaze turned sharp. She stared at the Green Lotus Core Flame for a long time before finally making up her mind. "For the future of the Snake-People Tribe, I, your queen, will stake it all."

Wutan City, Xiao Clan.

"Brother Xiao Yan is actually a future Dou Di." A strange gleam flashed in Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes.

She had known Brother Xiao Yan was no ordinary person.

"But now Brother Xiao Yan has been exposed, and Uncle Xiao Zhan has even been taken by the Hun Clan. I have to think of something!" Xiao Xun'er sank into thought.

She needed to find a plausible excuse to get Uncle Xiao Zhan and Brother Xiao Yan to leave the Xiao Clan and go into hiding.

As for the rest of the Xiao Clan, they had nothing to do with her, the esteemed young lady of the Gu Clan.

Qingshan Town.

"The world is so vast, yet I'm trapped in Qingshan Town..." A trace of resolve flashed through Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes. She had decided: the next time she entered the mountains to gather herbs, she would take a gamble on the Ancient Ruins Cave Abode she had discovered by chance.

Even dying would be better than spending her entire life in tiny Qingshan Town.

Jia Ma Imperial Capital.

Lifting her skirt, Nalan Yanran hurried toward Gu Yuan's courtyard. What she had heard and seen in the Answering Space had frightened her terribly.

Leaving aside the fact that Xiao Yan would become a Dou Di in the future, his lechery alone was enough to make Nalan Yanran worry about Sister Yun Yun.

Although they could no longer be master and disciple, after all their years together, acknowledging her as an older sister was good too.

Nalan Yanran did not want Xiao Yan, whose engagement she had broken off, to become her brother-in-law someday.

Wouldn't that make her decision to break off the engagement a joke?

Not to mention that Xiao Yan would become a Dou Di...

Her thoughts tangled like a skein of hemp, Nalan Yanran could only take things one step at a time. First, she would beg her teacher to let her return to the Misty Cloud Sect, then consider her next move.

Qingshan Town, an inn.

After studying the techniques for ages, a golden light flashed in Xiao Han's eyes. He extended his middle finger forward and shouted in a low voice, "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, first finger: imprison heaven and earth!"

At once, a phantom the size of a sausage shot from his actual middle finger and struck the table ahead with a smack.

With a crash, it split the solid wooden table in two.

"Not bad. Pretty powerful."

At the sight, Xiao Han nodded in satisfaction.

For someone with his strength as a One-Star Great Dou Master, projecting Dou Qi outside his body to attack with this much power was already quite impressive.

Although it was different from what he had imagined, his cultivation realm was low, after all.

If he wanted his middle finger to blot out the sky and sun, he would have to reach Dou Zong at the very least.

"I'm pretty much invincible in Qingshan Town now. Should I just go straight over and take Xiao Yi Xian into my arms?" Xiao Han rubbed his chin in thought.

Then he looked down at the Great Sun Thunder Body manual in his hand.

"Forget it. I'll cultivate first." He shook his head.

He had already figured out the odds of the Answering Space opening.

As long as he was within a hundred meters of a main or supporting character, there was a high chance it would open. The first time, he had encountered Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er; the second time, it had been Xiao Yi Xian, whom he had just seen. The person he would rely on to open the space a third time was Yun Yun.

Yun Yun was a Dou Huang expert. For the sake of her beloved disciple's Three-Year Agreement with Xiao Yan, she fought the Sixth-Rank Lion King deep in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Both sides were badly injured, and she was sealed afterward.

His current strength was only that of a One-Star Great Dou Master, and he did not know the top-tier secret technique Ghost Possession. Entering the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range with a One-Star Great Dou Master's strength would be no different from going to his death.

He might as well take advantage of the several years still remaining to raise his strength further.

He would have to reach the Dou Wang level at the very least to gain anything from a battle at the Dou Emperor level.

With that thought, Xiao Han gleefully opened the space. He now had a whopping six points in hand. If he converted them all into strength, he should at least reach Dou Wang.

"Azure Dragon Qi, here I come!"

A moment later.

"One portion of Heavenly Dragon Qi actually costs a whole five points? What a rip-off!" The corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched.

If he bought the Heavenly Dragon Qi, he would not be able to buy anything else.
