Han Yue was instantly speechless. Her family was merely a minor force—how could she possibly know the exact strength of other powers? What if she misled her sisters? That would cause losses for Xiao Tian's Boundless Heaven Divine Palace, and she couldn't allow that to happen.
But before she could look to Xiao Tian for help, a wave of soul power carrying a vast amount of knowledge entered her mind.
Han Yue closed her eyes, processing the memories now flooding her consciousness. No one else noticed this, assuming she was simply recalling information.
After a couple of breaths, Han Yue opened her eyes, gave Xiao Tian a meaningful look, and then slowly began, "The Hall of Souls' Palace Master is a Five-Star Dou Sheng, with one to three-star Dou Shengs each, one High-level Half-Saint and one Elementary Half-Saint, and one One-Turn Dou Zun."
"The Pill Tower's Old Ancestor is a Six-Star Dou Sheng, along with one Two-Star Dou Sheng, multiple Half-Saints—including one High-level Half-Saint—and three Nine-Turn Dou Zuns." (Because Xuan Kongzi later broke through to Half-Saint, it is assumed they are Nine-Turn Dou Zuns, not peak Nine Revolutions Dou Zuns. It would be too absurd to break through from Nine-Star to Half-Saint in a short time; if they had that talent, they would have become Dou Shengs long ago.)
"The Flower Sect has two Supreme Elders—one High-level and one Mid-level Half-Saint—and one peak Nine Revolutions Dou Zun."
"The Heavenly Ming Sect has one High-level Half-Saint Elder and two Nine Revolutions Dou Zuns."
"The Burning Flame Valley has one One-Star Dou Sheng."
"The Sound Valley has one Elementary Half-Saint."
"The Ice River Valley, Starfall Pavilion, Myriad Sword Pavilion, Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and Yellow Spring Pavilion's Pavilion Masters are all Mid-level and Elementary Dou Zuns."
After Han Yue finished speaking, the Little Fairy Doctor and the others all swallowed hard. So many forces actually possessed Dou Shengs.
"I didn't expect there to be so many forces with Dou Shengs and Half-Saints in the Central Plains," Medusa said in a low voice, her eyes slightly narrowed.
"But the difference between the three Valleys is so vast. Ice River Valley only has Dou Zuns, while the other two have Half-Saints and Dou Shengs. Isn't that too weak?" Yun Yun noticed the discrepancy and spoke up.
Ice River Valley's Ice Venerable: … … … …
"That's true. Could they also have hidden Half-Saints or Dou Shengs?" Ya Fei asked thoughtfully.
Han Yue was at a loss for how to answer. She secretly glanced at Xiao Tian, and seeing him shake his head slightly, she said, "No."
"Then couldn't our Boundless Heaven Divine Palace easily destroy them?" Medusa said coldly, gently caressing her fingers.
As expected of Medusa—she spoke of killing as if it were as simple as slaughtering chickens.
"Exactly! We'll raid their treasuries. There must be plenty of good things inside!" Zi Yan, who feared nothing, immediately agreed. The two of them were once notorious great devils who dominated the Boundless Heaven Realm and the Black-Corner Region.
"Ice River Valley's Valley Master, Ice Venerable, is also an extraordinary individual. He possesses an artificial Calamity Poison Body, so we must not underestimate him if we encounter him in the future." Xiao Tian didn't pay attention to their discussion; Ice Venerable would likely be an adversary anyway.
Hearing Xiao Tian's words, everyone's gaze turned to him. Yun Yun asked, "A Calamity Poison Body can be artificially created?"
"Ice River Valley possesses a unique secret technique for body snatching, which allows them to strip others of their physiques and apply them to themselves. Of course, the physique acquired through this secret technique only retains a small portion of the original physique's power."
"Ice River Valley's nature is similar to that of the Hall of Souls. The Hall of Souls collects soul bodies everywhere, while Ice River Valley's Valley Master seeks out special physiques to absorb and strengthen himself."
Upon hearing this, the women all frowned slightly. Almost everyone here possessed a special physique.
Ya Fei looked up and glanced at the Little Fairy Doctor. "Then, according to what Little Brother Xiao Tian said, he would definitely want to find someone with a Calamity Poison Body, like Xian'er. Only by absorbing a Calamity Poison Body can his artificial poison body advance further."
The Little Fairy Doctor said indifferently, "I'm quite looking forward to him coming. I'm also curious if his acquired Calamity Poison Body can withstand a single palm from my Calamity Poison Body. The poison from his body might even help advance my strength further."
"I think with your current strength, if you just released some poison, he'd die instantly," Medusa said with a smirk.
Hearing Medusa's words, Yun Yun and the others seemed to recall something, suppressing the corners of their mouths, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
The current Little Fairy Doctor, after absorbing the poisonous gas from the Poisonous Miasma Forest, had already reached the peak of the Three-Turn Dou Zun stage.
And Medusa, seeing the Little Fairy Doctor's strength increase, had wanted to spar with her. Who knew that after dozens of rounds, Medusa would end up lying on the ground?
One must know that Medusa was already a Five-Star Dou Zun, yet she still quickly lost consciousness from the poison.
Nine-Turn Dou Zun: the energy of one turn is equal to the total energy from One-Star Dou Zun to Nine Revolutions Dou Zun. Each turn is a major breakthrough, and only after nine turns can one enter the Half-Saint realm.
"Why do I feel like you're all thinking something impolite?" Medusa looked suspiciously at the few who were struggling to suppress their smiles.
"No, no. I was just thinking that our Boundless Heaven Divine Palace will also be a first-rate force when we go to the Central Plains," Ya Fei said, instantly sitting up straight and speaking earnestly.
"Indeed. Apart from a few individual forces, there aren't many who would dare to provoke us," Han Yue nodded in agreement.
"If your ranking of forces is based on strength, then shouldn't the Pill Tower be ahead of the Hall of Souls? After all, a Six-Star Dou Sheng fighting a Five-Star Dou Sheng plus three One, Two, and Three-Star Dou Shengs wouldn't be much of a problem," Yun Yun said after thinking it over.
Xiao Tian, to prevent Han Yue from being embarrassed again, stepped forward and said, "Let me explain this. And your question is related to the Ancient Eight Clans."
"Are you saying the Hall of Souls is backed by the Ancient Eight Clans?" Yun Yun, as expected of someone who had been a Sect Master, had quick thinking.
"Yes, Yun'er is so smart!" Xiao Tian suddenly felt several death glares and quickly added, "You all are the smartest too!"
The women all gave him a look that said, At least you're sensible.
Xiao Tian sighed deeply, lamenting how difficult it was with many women—praise one, and you had to praise the whole group.
(I wouldn't want you, dear readers, to suffer this kind of pain, so let me bear more of it. After all, you're all so handsome. If you get involved, my opportunities would drastically shrink. Stop, readers—the outside is full of sharks.)
"The Ancient Eight Clans are the Soul, Gu, Xiao, Lei, Yan, Shi, Yao, and Ling Clans."
"And behind the Hall of Souls…" Xiao Tian hadn't finished speaking when Zi Yan, in his arms, interrupted.
"I know this one! The Hall of Souls is backed by the Hun Clan!" After saying that, she looked up at Xiao Tian with an expression that clearly demanded praise.
"Zi Yan is right! Our Zi Yan is simply brilliant—her mind is so sharp!" Xiao Tian praised with exaggerated surprise.
"Of course! I'm the smartest! This family would fall apart without me sooner or later!" Zi Yan proudly tilted her head and declared.
Yun Yun and the others had black lines on their foreheads. Truly two childish individuals.
"Xiao Clan? Xun'er is from the Xiao Clan?" Qing Lin raised her hand and asked, looking very much like a student raising a hand to ask a question during a lecture.
