But seeing the expectant look on Xiao Han's face, Gu Yuan still did not dare offend the only current Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
He could only tell the truth. "Brother Xiao Han, once suppressed, the poison physique will only become stronger. Even a Nine-Star Dou Sheng's body would be injured if a vulnerable part penetrated it. You must think twice."
Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xiao Han was somewhat speechless.
So it was just like the Poison Pill Method. In that case, it was no use to him.
"In that case, I won't go collect the materials, but thank you for helping me find them, Brother Gu Yuan," Xiao Han said, his face full of disappointment.
"No need to thank me. We're friends." Gu Yuan laughed heartily and was about to say more when a notification sounded in the space.
"All participants have assembled. Candidates, please reach your designated positions within ten seconds. Failure to arrive within the allotted time will result in a percentage deduction from your cultivation."
Having experienced this twice already, everyone jolted and hurried to their respective positions.
Meanwhile.
The supporting characters who had contributed their cultivation and fortune also had their views shifted into the Answering Space at the same time.
"Hun Tiandi?"
"Gu Yuan?"
"And Xiao Xuan?"
Within the Ancient Eight Clans, some Dou Sheng who had lived long enough immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan were one thing; those two were alive, after all.
But Xiao Xuan had been dead for over a thousand years.
How had he appeared again?
All the Dou Sheng who could see inside the Answering Space trembled with fear.
They had never even heard of such means.
Could these be the methods of a legendary Dou Di?
A Dou Di. It must be a Dou Di. Otherwise, such heaven-shaking, earth-shattering methods would be impossible. Seeing his own clan leader inside the Answering Space, Gu Dao immediately became certain that this was the work of a Dou Di. Who else could pull a Nine-Star Dou Sheng into a sealed space?
And resurrect someone who had been dead for so long.
A Nine-Star Dou Sheng certainly could not accomplish such feats.
Not to mention that Hun Tiandi of the Hun Clan was also inside the space. If a greater fighting power were not keeping them under control, how could the two clan leaders possibly behave so obediently?
After determining that this involved a Dou Di, worry appeared on his face.
"Hun Tiandi, how did he end up in there too?" Seeing Hun Tiandi inside the Answering Space, the Nihility Devouring Flame immediately felt a chill in his heart.
He knew just how formidable this man was.
Yet even someone so formidable stood there obediently without moving, showing just how terrifying this so-called Answering Space was.
Not only could it drain his cultivation from afar, but it could also control a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint.
"What kind of terrifying power is this?" Lei Ying, the Lei Clan's leader, looked utterly shocked.
"Xiao Xuan, he's actually been resurrected." Yan Jin, the Yan Clan's leader, looked pleasantly surprised.
A thousand years ago, the Yan Clan had enjoyed a good relationship with Xiao Xuan. Of the three Heavenly Flames he possessed, two had been provided by the Yan Clan.
"Besides Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan, there are actually four other Nine-Star Dou Sheng on the continent?" A child sitting on a green ox chewed the grass in his mouth, feeling frightened of his identity as a medicinal pill for the first time.
Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan kept each other in check and would not attack him, but if any of those four unfamiliar Nine-Star Dou Sheng suddenly wanted a pill to satisfy a craving one day, he had absolutely no chance of escaping.
"It's the clan leader!"
"Am I seeing things? The clan leader actually isn't dead!" On a Dragon Island somewhere in the void, the old dragons who recognized Zhu Kun in his human form excitedly reverted to their true forms and howled.
"It's the clan leader! Our Ancient Void Dragon Clan can be saved! We must reclaim the divided Dragon Islands!" Zhu Huo opened his dragon maw and let out a long roar toward the sky.
Seeing the figures who appeared inside the Answering Space, some rejoiced, while others trembled.
Combined with the plummeting of their cultivation, even the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame trapped inside the Demonic Flame Space knew.
The skies over the Dou Qi Continent were about to change.
"All candidates are in position. The quiz now begins!"
"This quiz consists of five questions, all requiring answers."
"Candidates may answer using the buttons beneath their feet."
"A correct answer earns two points. An incorrect answer deducts one point."
"Those with zero points will receive double punishment."
"Due to the greater difficulty of this quiz, each person has one opportunity to seek outside assistance!"
"Those who agree to assist can earn two points, just like the participants, by answering correctly. Conversely, their punishment will also be doubled."
"The three highest-scoring participants in this quiz will additionally receive the right to select rewards in descending order of rank."
As soon as the voice in the space fell silent, shafts of light descended from above, covering the central area.
Among them were three glittering golden items: "Complete Battle Through the Heavens, Half of Battle Through the Heavens, Battle Through the Heavens: Three-Year Agreement." At the same time, information introducing the three items entered the six participants' minds.
"The course of the Dou Qi Continent protagonist's fortuitous encounters?"
"Double rewards and double punishments?"
"We can seek outside assistance?"
"Hiss!"
The changes in the space and the rewards made all five people apart from Xiao Han suck in a breath of cold air together. These were peerless treasures that could predict the future, and they could even draw a treasure from within them, ranging from Qi Gathering Pills used by Dou Zhe to Origin Qi that could help someone become a Dou Di.
"I must obtain such a divine treasure!" Hun Tiandi gazed at the golden light, his eyes burning with fervor.
The benefits of obtaining this reward went without saying.
Leaving aside something like Origin Qi, which had an exceedingly low chance of appearing, just Xiao Yan's location alone.
Was enough to drive Hun Tiandi mad.
Only he knew how crazed he had been lately, frantically pressuring the Soul Hall to search for the man with everything they had while personally scouring the Central Plains inch by inch.
He, the mighty Hun Clan leader and former Nine-Star Dou Sheng, now did not even dare return to the Soul Realm, all because of Xiao Yan.
He wished he could hack Xiao Yan into eight pieces.
It was just that the hypocrite Gu Yuan had hidden him far too well.
But Heaven never sealed off every path. Even if he only took third place, as long as he knew what Xiao Yan looked like, why worry about failing to find him?
Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan shared Hun Tiandi's thoughts. They were all old monsters who had lived for thousands of years and naturally knew what obtaining this meant.
"What is Complete Battle Through the Heavens?"
"No idea. It looks like it should be a storybook."
"That can't be right. A space capable of imprisoning Nine-Star Dou Sheng is just giving out a storybook?"
Outside, the Dou Sheng of the various factions who had gathered because their cultivation was dropping could only see the rewards, not receive the information, so they all discussed what on earth these rewards were.
"Question one: In the Battle Through the Heavens animated adaptation derived from the Battle Through the Heavens novel, whose daughter is Xiao Xiao, together with Medusa?
"a, Fallen Heart Flame, b, Xiao Ding, c, Xiao Li, d, Xiao Yan.
"Please answer!"
Inside the Myriad Medicine Pavilion's medicine shop.
"Medusa, who could make children cry, actually had a daughter with someone, and it's very likely she had her with either my eldest brother or my second brother," Xiao Yan said in shock as he looked at his brothers' names on the screen.
Xiao Yan: ??? What's going on with my eldest and second brothers?
