The two summoned other Hall of Souls guards, who did not dare to breathe loudly the whole time. They hurriedly cleaned up the man's body with their heads down and left the palace in a hurry.
The main fear was that if they made any noise, they would be the next ones lying on the ground.
Xiao Tian, who caused all this, was watching the two women in front of him tidying up the items taken out of Old Freak Zhaixing's storage ring.
"Wow, Xiao Tian, look, is this not the weird Dou Technique he used before—Zhaixing Hand?" Han Xue exclaimed, holding a scroll, and quickly ran to Xiao Tian.
Although the opponent's previous techniques did not affect Xiao Tian, that was only because the difference in strength was too great. However, at the time, she was still very surprised by this Dou Technique.
At such a distance, if a hand unexpectedly appears in front of you and attacks your vital points, it could change the entire course of the battle.
Upon hearing this, Hu Jia stopped tidying up other things and joined in, clearly showing her interest in this Dou Technique.
Xiao Tian took the scroll, glanced at the description inside, and said to the two of them:
"That is right, it is Zhaixing Hand, and it is even an Earth Rank Intermediate Dou Technique. It is essentially a spatial skill, making it incredibly difficult to defend against. You can learn it too. This Dou Technique has no attribute restrictions, but it is not very effective against opponents far stronger than yourself."
"Forget it, let us not learn it. This skill is not very useful if you encounter a large rank difference, and you might end up like him."
After Hu Jia finished speaking, she pointed to Old Freak Zhaixing on the ground.
Han Xue nodded in agreement, then continued opening other scrolls. "However, this Shattering Star Blade is actually an Earth Rank Advanced Dou Technique, but it looks rather bizarre. Cultivators actually integrate things into the body."
After saying that, Han Xue's whole body trembled slightly. How strange it must be to have such a strange thing inside your body.
"Indeed, although it is very powerful, there are many things in the Primordial Heaven Divine Palace that are much stronger. However, this thing can be put into the Scripture Pavilion in front of the Primordial Emperor Imperial Palace to enrich its heritage."
"You mean that black tower-like building?" Han Xue asked Hu Jia.
"Yes, it is full of Earth Rank and above Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques. The ones above the Intermediate level were basically added by Xiao Tian or contributed 'enthusiastically' by other forces."
"Enthusiastic contribution?" Han Xue asked in confusion. *Has the world gone this crazy now? Other factions' Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques—why would they contribute them?*
"The power he enthusiastically contributed was the same power that led to the annihilation of those who challenged our Primordial Heaven Divine Palace." Xiao Tian could not help but laugh out loud, explaining to Han Xue, and finally reached out and flicked Hu Jia's forehead. "You are the best at putting words on paper."
"Hmph!" Hu Jia snorted proudly. "His collection is quite extensive. As expected of a Dou Zun expert, he has a lot of good stuff. He has so many Dou Techniques, including five Di-rank Dou Techniques alone, as well as many rare medicinal herbs."
Hu Jia placed the sorted and categorized storage rings into Xiao Tian's hands.
After Xiao Tian put away the storage ring, he used an empty storage ring to store Old Freak Zhaixing's corpse.
Hu Jia and the other man were completely baffled by Xiao Tian's actions. "Hey!! Why are you collecting this corpse? You killed someone and then helped collect the body. You are such a nice person."
"No, someone needs this."
After listening to Xiao Tian's words, Hu Jia thought for a moment and understood what Xiao Tian meant. "That is true."
"Wait, what kind of riddle are you two playing? I do not understand." Han Xue glanced back and forth between Xiao Tian and Hu Jia, as if she were isolated from the whole world.
Hu Jia pulled Han Xue aside and explained a few things to her. Han Xue then understood, saying, "Oh, I see."
"Let us go back to the Primordial Heaven Realm first."

Xiao Tian stood atop a high mountain in a forest in the Black-Corner Region, while Han Xue pulled Hu Jia along to see the Earth Rank and above Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques to broaden her horizons.
This is the advantage of the Primordial Heaven Realm: through its portals, one can travel between the Black-Corner Region and the Northern Region of the Central Plains.
Xiao Tian looked at the scene in the forest with great interest, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
At this moment, Yao Lao was giving Xiao Yan special training. The special part was that Xiao Yan was being chased and whipped by Yao Lao with a whip formed from Bone Chilling Flame.
Xiao Yan had many whip marks on his body and was panting heavily.
The old herbalist stopped what he was doing and said to Xiao Yan, "Alright, that is about enough. Now go and soak in the medicinal pool."
After the old doctor stopped, Xiao Yan collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. He then forced himself to get up and walked into the red medicinal pool that had been prepared in advance.
"Hiss~~~" As soon as he went in, Xiao Yan gasped a few times, and his body trembled slightly.
The old apothecary turned to look at the mountain peak where Xiao Tian stood, smiled and nodded, then continued to look at Xiao Yan in the medicinal pool.

About ten minutes later, after Xiao Yan had absorbed all the medicinal power from the pool, his aura surged, and an aura belonging to the Nine-Star Dou Huang Peak erupted from his body.
Xiao Yan stood up, his eyes closed, but he could not hide the joy on his face.
"Not bad. You will be able to break through to the Dou Zong level soon." A familiar voice entered Xiao Yan's ears, and Xiao Yan instantly opened his eyes, a hint of excitement flashing in them.
"Brother Tian, when did you arrive?"
"Him? He has been here for a while. He was watching from up there while you were being beaten." The old apothecary pointed to the high mountain where Xiao Tian had been standing.
"No way!" Xiao Yan's face fell, looking utterly dejected.
"Hahaha~" Yao Lao and Xiao Tian both laughed when they saw Xiao Yan like this.
"Brother Tian, did you not go to the Central Plains? How come you have time to come here?" Xiao Yan came to Xiao Tian's side, his eyes full of curiosity and excitement. "How was the Central Plains? Was it fun? Are there many powerful people there?"
"There is really no comparison. Dou Huang and Dou Zong are rare in the Northwest Continent, but they can be seen everywhere in the Central Plains." After saying that, Xiao Tian changed the subject. "Now the Primordial Heaven Divine Palace has set up a portal in the Central Plains, so you can go there at any time."
"Really? That is great!" Xiao Yan had always been very interested in the Central Plains, and now he could not wait to go there to see it.
"I have come to give you something and two pieces of news," Xiao Tian said, getting straight to the point.
"Oh? What is it?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and he rubbed his hands together like a fly rubbing its hands, his eyes full of anticipation.
Looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, Xiao Tian could not help but rub his forehead. It seemed that he had spoiled this future Emperor Yan.
When the old apothecary saw his Personal Disciple in this state, he helplessly covered his face, as if to say, *I do not know him. He is not my Disciple. It is too embarrassing.*
