Chapter 13 The System Reappears

Looking at the people who had already left, Xie Tianxiao sighed.

This is a strong man. Just because of his words, Lan Cangshan and other Dou Wang were excited for a long time!

If he had traveled through time and merged with an ordinary fighter, it would be unknown whether he would be alive now, let alone meet a fighter king like Lan Cangshan.

Then, Xie Tianxiao lifted up the hunter guardian on the ground with one hand and said playfully,

"I'm sorry, I was so busy talking to them that I forgot about you. If you have anything else to beg for mercy, please say it quickly. Maybe I can let you go."

Ding!

Xie Tianxiao just finished speaking.

An electronic synthesized sound rang out.

[Contact with special life forms, do you want to devour them?]

A screen appeared in front of Xie Tianxiao, and a line of large characters was displayed on the screen!

Seeing the sudden system prompt, Xie Tianxiao was shocked and thought to himself: "Strange, the system has not responded for so long, why would it suddenly give a prompt at this time?"

"There is no strange fire around, and it is a special life form."

etc!

The system prompt sound appeared after I came into contact with the hunting method...

"Could it be?!"

While Xie Tianxiao was secretly thinking, the hunter in front of him turned pale and said in fear: "Master Dou Zun has great cultivation. I deserve to die for offending you."

"But you don't know, my Lord, that all the people in my Soul Palace have their own life cards."

"Once you die, the Palace Master will know. By then, even with your strength, you will be in big trouble!"

Listening to the words of the hunter protector, Xie Tianxiao temporarily suppressed the shock in his heart and did not click on the system instruction. Instead, he came to his senses and nodded:

"You are right. I know that the people in the Soul Palace have life cards, but I don't understand which branch palace is in charge of your life card?"

When the hunter protector heard Xie Tianxiao explain the name cards of the Soul Hall members and asked him which branch hall he belonged to.

Thinking that Xie Tianxiao was afraid of trouble and didn't want to offend Soul Palace because of his death, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for not killing me."

"The branch temple I'm in is located six thousand miles south of the Tianyin Mountains, in a forest called 'Soul Burial Valley'. Because it borders several small countries, I'm also responsible for protecting this area."

"I see. It's not far from here."

Xie Tianxiao nodded secretly, then glanced at the hunter and said coldly:

"I think you got one thing wrong. I just wanted to ask about the location of the branch temple. When did I say I wouldn't kill you?"

A mere Soul Palace guardian dared to use the Soul Palace to threaten Xie Tianxiao. He was simply courting death.

"What?"

The hunter was startled and asked anxiously: "Master Dou Zun, what do you mean?"

What do you mean?

Xie Tianxiao glanced at him coldly and said, "Don't worry, your people from the branch hall will come down to accompany you soon!"

"Also, my name is not the Venerable, but the Owl Devourer."

After whispering something beside the hunter, before the hunter could react, Xie Tianxiao silently said in his heart:

"System, start devouring."

Ding!

[Swallowing]

"Ah!!!"

A scream resounded through the sky, and the body of the hunter in front of Xie Tianxiao shrank rapidly.

After just a dozen seconds, the hunter turned into ashes, leaving only a black robe, and dissipated into the world!

Ding!

[Swallowed!]

"Huh~"

"Finally there's no one left. Being a strong person is so tiring. If you're not careful, your image will fall apart."

Xie Tianxiao let out a long breath and sighed inwardly.

Xie Tianxiao's original purpose of coming here was just to get some free resources.

He did not want to offend the Soul Palace directly. Although he had the strength of a semi-saint, he was afraid that if they beat the smaller one, the bigger one would come.

One by one, just send a Fighting Saint over and he will be finished!

However, human calculations are not as good as system calculations. After seeing the prompt interface appear on the system, Xie Tianxiao changed his mind.

After the system devoured the guardians, his soul power actually increased a little bit, which made him eager to go to the Soul Division Palace to devour more guardians to try!

"Not bad, not bad, the system is awesome, it allows my soul at the peak of the mortal realm to take a step forward!"

"This is just the system devouring Dou Zong's guardian."

"If I devour the Soul Palace personnel of Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng, wouldn't it allow my soul realm to directly enter the Emperor Realm?!"

The soul realms of cultivators are divided into mortal realm, spiritual realm, heavenly realm, and emperor realm. Each realm is divided into low, medium, high, and great perfection.

In contrast, if one is an alchemist, those whose soul has reached the spiritual realm are qualified to refine eighth-grade elixirs.

Those who reach the Heavenly Realm are qualified to refine ninth-grade elixirs, and those who reach the Emperor Realm are qualified to refine emperor-grade elixirs.

The soul of the emperor realm is comparable to that of an eight-star fighting saint.

Ordinary people have mortal souls, even high-level alchemists of the sixth or seventh rank have mortal souls, so soul skills that can cultivate soul power are extremely precious!

Therefore, in the current Douqi Continent, apart from some ancient books that record the cultivation methods of soul power, even some high-level alchemists themselves do not know how to cultivate souls.

But Xie Tianxiao can directly improve his soul power by devouring the soul hall personnel!

Unbelievable!

It's incredible!

"That's good. Although I'm not an alchemist, if I can raise my soul power to the emperor level, I won't be afraid of even an eight-star Dou Sheng!"

Xie Tianxiao secretly clenched his fists, with rays of light flashing in his eyes.

But despite his excitement, Xie Tianxiao was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Since the system can directly devour special life forms such as Soul Palace Guardians, why didn't the prompt interface appear when I first discovered the Hunting Guardian?"

"Also, this system is good, but it doesn't communicate with me. It only gives me a prompt interface every time, and I have to guess."

"You are so irresponsible to me as a time traveler!"

Having said that, Xie Tianxiao was still very satisfied with the reappearance of the system.

"Forget it. We have to go to the Soul Division Hall anyway. We'll see when the time comes."

When Xie Tianxiao thought of this, he felt a little relieved.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I still have to go into this Dou Zong Cave Mansion. I can't forget my original intention."

"No matter how small this mosquito is, it's still a piece of meat. We can't leave what's in front of us to others."

After saying that, Xie Tianxiao disappeared from the spot with a flash.

…

When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the Dou Zong cave that everyone was fighting for.

Looking at the mountains of gold coins and jewelry, as well as the piles of fighting skills and boxes of pills, Xie Tianxiao's eyes lit up.

"Not bad. With so many resources, we are much stronger than some Dou Zong forces that were destroyed in our previous life."

Xie Tianxiao stretched out his hand and put all the piles of gold coins into the space ring, then smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the treasures.

"Oh, there are also several local-level fighting skills and a lot of seventh-grade elixirs. It seems that he is a high-level alchemist. No wonder he is so rich."

Xie Tianxiao glanced at the piles of fighting skills and elixirs, and thought to himself.

After taking all the gold coins, jewelry, and cultivation resources, Xie Tianxiao scanned his storage ring and said happily: "This trip is really worth it, not to mention that the system has increased my soul power."

"There are six Earth-level fighting skills in total, nearly a hundred Mysterious-level ones, and a bunch of countless elixirs!"

Satisfied, Xie Tianxiao touched the ring in his hand and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, the appearance of the hunter protector is really timely."

"If he hadn't taken action, how would I know that the system can devour people from the Soul Palace to increase soul power, and how would I know that the people of the Lan Cang Empire are grateful to me."

"What a nice guy!"

Although with Xie Tianxiao's strength, he doesn't need to care about that little bit of reputation, but a good reputation earned for free is always better than others slandering you behind your back, right?

"I've got everything, it's time to leave."

"Hehe... Soul Palace, here I come."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Tianxiao's figure disappeared, leaving only the empty Dou Zong cave.

…

At the same time, six thousand miles away from the Tianyin Mountains, deep in a forest called the Soul Burial Valley.

A Soul Hall guardian was kneeling on a cushion, respectfully reporting the situation to the Soul Hall elder who was sitting at the head.

"Your Excellency, the guardian hunter's life tablet has been broken."

"According to the clues sent back by the Hunter Guardian before his death, that person is at least a Dou Zun strongman!"

　Some of the people in the Soul Palace are souls, and some have flesh and blood. The original book doesn't clearly state

　　this. I looked for it but couldn't find it, so I just did what I thought.

　　In addition, some book friends said that it was too deliberate and pretentious for a half-saint to become a Dou Zong, which was not good.

　　Now that I think about it, it is true, but I had already written it at that time. There was no other way. I had to speed up the process and finish writing the things here as soon as possible before going to the Gama Empire.
