People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

More than seven days have passed since Xiao Ling broke through the shackles of the Dou Di realm at the top of the Soul Realm and wiped out the once-powerful Soul Clan.

These seven days were arguably the most turbulent period in the entire Dou Qi Continent in ten thousand years, and Zhongzhou became the core vortex of the world.

After ten thousand years of silence, the legend of the Dou Di had long since become a faint imprint in ancient books. But now, a living Dou Di has emerged out of nowhere, sweeping away the great calamity of the Soul Clan with overwhelming force. This shock has already swept across every corner of the continent.

Whether it was the ancient ruins and top sects entrenched in the Central Plains, or the small city-states and families scattered throughout the four regions, the rulers and leaders of countless forces, large and small, all put aside their affairs and rushed day and night to the Starfall Pavilion located in the heart of the Central Plains.

In an instant, the area outside the Starfall Pavilion was bustling with carriages and people. Dou Zun and Dou Sheng powerhouses, who were rarely seen on ordinary days, could be seen everywhere here. People from all sides gathered here with awe and a desire to curry favor, just to catch a glimpse of the newly promoted Dou Di Xiao Ling, to pay their respects to this supreme powerhouse of the continent, and to seek a sliver of opportunity and protection.

The area around the Starfall Pavilion was bustling with people, yet due to the lingering, faint imperial aura, no one dared to make a ruckus, showcasing the grand spectacle of worship.

In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and restaurants, wherever people gather, the topic of conversation invariably revolves around this suddenly appearing Emperor Lingtian.

From his monstrous methods of annihilating his clan in the Soul Realm to his extraordinary talent of reaching the Emperor Realm at a young age, all sorts of rumors spread throughout the continent, becoming the focus of everyone's attention. The title of Dou Di (Battle Emperor) has become the most sought-after name on the continent this week.

Despite being the center of everyone's worship, Xiao Ling never showed his face. He remained as indifferent and detached as ever. The adoration and worship of the mortal world were nothing but fleeting clouds to him, a Dou Di, and he didn't care about them at all.

However, in order to coincide with the occasion of breaking through to Dou Di and celebrating with the world, Xiao Ling casually raised his hand and used spatial power to freely scatter some of his idle cultivation treasures and pills to various parts of the Dou Qi Continent.

These objects, which are insignificant to him, are incredibly rare opportunities for martial artists on the mainland.

Countless lucky individuals have received this gift by chance. Some have obtained rare and precious natural treasures, some have found high-level combat techniques, and there are even rumors that some have unexpectedly obtained a Grade 9 precious pill, breaking through their cultivation level and achieving great success.

This casual act of giving away opportunities did not cause dissatisfaction among various forces; on the contrary, it increased everyone's awe of Emperor Lingtian.

Only a true Dou Di who transcends the mortal realm would regard such a treasure as nothing and casually scatter it throughout the world. This magnanimity is beyond the reach of ordinary strongmen.

The crowds of worshippers outside the Starfall Pavilion had not yet dispersed, quietly waiting for the moment when this strongest being on the continent might lower his gaze.

However, these forces that have been waiting outside the Starfall Pavilion day and night, hoping to pay their respects to the Dou Di, will ultimately be utterly disappointed.

After Xiao Ling broke through to the Dou Di realm and conquered the Soul Realm, he only returned to the Star Cloud Pavilion once. He created a private space exclusively for Dou Di level members for the Starfall Pavilion, set up Emperor-level restrictions, and made the sect's foundation as solid as a rock. After that, he quietly left and disappeared without a trace.

Now that he has reached the top of Dou Di, Xiao Ling may seem detached from worldly affairs, but in reality, he has far more trivial matters to manage than he imagined. Among them, the ones that cause him the most worry, yet also fill him with warmth, are the group of confidantes around him.

After breaking through to the Emperor Realm, Xiao Ling first spent a day with Medusa to make up for the long-standing neglect. Once his mind was settled, he gathered all his close female friends who had been deeply involved with him over the years.

Now that he has reached the once-in-a-millennium Dou Di realm, he finally has enough confidence and strength to put these matters on the table.

However, after the reunion, some misunderstandings were inevitable.

The women suddenly learned of each other's existence, and suddenly had many more sisters. They all harbored some dissatisfaction and awkwardness, especially Xiao Xun'er and Medusa, who seemed to be at odds with each other.

Xiao Xun'er is Xiao Ling's childhood sweetheart, and their friendship is deep-rooted. Medusa is the first woman to bear Xiao Ling's child, and their bond is equally strong.

Although the two didn't say anything, they were both proud and arrogant, and thus became the two core members among the women, even subtly forming two factions, making the atmosphere occasionally a little subtle.

Among the group of women, Zi Yan's situation was particularly unique.

As the current Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, she holds the top dragon power in the entire Warcraft world. With profound cultivation and top-notch power and strength, she has enough confidence to become a third core member who transcends Xiao Xun'er and Medusa, and to occupy a place in this delicate atmosphere.

Unfortunately, she had a very deep friendship with both Xiao Xun'er and Medusa. They had been together all along and were like sisters. Helping either of them would mean neglecting the other. Caught in the middle, she was in a dilemma and could not make a choice to favor either of them. She could only stand silently between the two of them and act as a peacemaker to ease the atmosphere. She had nowhere to relieve her inner turmoil.

This stifling feeling made Zi Yan, who was always straightforward, very unhappy. After thinking it over, she blamed all her resentment on Xiao Ling, the instigator.

Whenever she sees Xiao Ling, she immediately puts on a grumpy face, leaving Xiao Ling quite helpless.

Even though they had their own little tempers, the women knew Xiao Ling's romantic nature and were already somewhat prepared for it. They also knew that he was now the only Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent, and his vision and magnanimity had already surpassed ordinary people. In addition, they all had deep feelings for Xiao Ling, so they didn't take it too seriously. The occasional little tiffs became a little spice in their ordinary days and did not cause any real conflict.

The matter gradually reached the ears of Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun. As fathers, they were inevitably somewhat displeased. After all, it was hard for anyone to be completely at ease knowing that their precious daughter was sharing a husband with someone else.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ling is now a genuine Dou Di powerhouse, capable of overturning the continent with a wave of his hand. He is their only hope to break through the Dou Sheng barrier and reach the Emperor realm by relying on his power.

Even if they harbored some resentment, they could only helplessly suppress it, pretending not to know, turning a blind eye, and at most saying a few words to Xiao Ling.

Looking at the somewhat stalemate yet peaceful situation before him, Xiao Ling felt helpless but had no complaints. This was the result of his own actions. Along the way, he had been deeply devoted to all the women and had never intended to hide it. Now that he had reached the Dou Di level and had the ability to protect them for life, he should shoulder this responsibility and give everyone an explanation.

Although there were some minor awkwardness and misunderstandings among the women, and the atmosphere wasn't entirely harmonious, no arguments broke out, and there was no embarrassing scene of swords drawn. For Xiao Ling, this was the best possible outcome, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Furthermore, none of these women are ordinary ladies from humble backgrounds; each carries her own power and responsibilities, and each has her own entanglements.

This gathering clarified their relationships, bringing them to a conclusion. After this brief reunion, they will each return to their own territories, rarely encountering each other. Any minor grudges will naturally fade with distance, so there's no need to worry too much. Since breaking through to the Dou Di realm, Xiao Ling's cultivation has reached its peak. Freed from the pressure of cultivation bottlenecks and constraints, he no longer needs to dedicate himself to arduous training and adventures as before. This allows him to visit his other close female friends more frequently.

Such long-term companionship and dedication are far more effective than a thousand words in soothing the dissatisfaction and resentment in the women's hearts.

What they sought was not a unique title, but rather the care and affection Xiao Ling held in his heart. Now that he constantly remembered them and personally accompanied them, all the awkwardness in their hearts dissipated, and they became increasingly satisfied with their current situation.

While spending time with his beloved concubines and calming their emotions, Xiao Ling also devoted himself to managing clan affairs.

At Xiao Xuan's suggestion, Xiao Ling also used his current Dou Di level abilities to create a new Dou Di space as the Xiao Realm for the Xiao clan members to live in.

When these members of the Xiao clan were brought to the Xiao Realm by Xiao Yan, they all bowed and knelt before Xiao Ling, shouting the title of Emperor, their hearts filled with pride and awe. This young prodigy of the Xiao family had already become a legend in the entire Xiao clan and even the entire continent.

It can be said that the entire Xiao clan was completely lifted from the dust to the position of the top clan on the continent by Xiao Ling alone. This glory and opportunity is a grand event that no member of the Xiao clan dares to dream of.

Although Xiao Ling had some affection for the Xiao clan, he didn't care too much about it and didn't intend to interfere in the clan's trivial affairs. He simply entrusted the governance of the Xiao realm, the settlement of the clan members, and other matters to Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao clan, and Xiao Yan, who was appointed as the next clan leader.

With these two people in charge of managing the affairs of the Xiao clan, he felt completely at ease and was able to free himself up to do what he wanted without being tied down by clan matters, allowing him to enjoy his leisurely life as he pleased.

……

After settling the Xiao clan and handling all matters concerning his lover, Xiao Ling went straight to find Gu Yuan.

Without any pleasantries, he went straight to the point, demanding the two Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade pieces held by the Xiao and Gu clans from Gu Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan did not hesitate or feel any reluctance. He readily took out the two ancient jade pieces and handed them to Xiao Ling.

In his view, these Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade were originally intended to open the Ancient Emperor's Cave, but now that Xiao Ling has already broken through to the Dou Di realm, the opportunities and inheritances in the cave are of no use to him, who stands at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent.

On the contrary, these cave dwelling opportunities are the only chance for him and old guys like Zhu Kun, who have been stuck at the bottleneck of Dou Sheng for many years, to break through to Dou Di. In the end, the benefits should also come to them.

As Gu Yuan had predicted, after Xiao Ling took the last two pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from him, he immediately went to find Xiao Xuan and Zhu Kun.

Without wasting a moment, the four set off straight for the location of the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave.

During their journey, Gu Yuan finally couldn't help but speak up, his brows furrowing slightly as he asked, "My dear son-in-law, the whereabouts of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Spirit Clan have been unknown. Legend has it that to open the Ancient Emperor's Cave, all eight pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade must be collected. Even though you have collected seven, you are still missing one. Is there any other way to open the cave?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling chuckled and said, "Father-in-law, rest assured, that ancient jade of the Spirit Clan was already in my possession. I have already collected all eight pieces of ancient jade, so there is no need to worry."

He paused, a hint of composure flashing in his eyes, and continued, "Besides, even if I don't collect all eight pieces, with my current Dou Di strength, it wouldn't be difficult for me to forcibly break through the ancient emperor's restriction outside the cave, and it won't delay our journey."

“I see, no wonder.” Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. “During this time, I have mobilized a large number of people from the Ancient Clan to search for the whereabouts of the Spirit Clan’s ancient jade all over the Dou Qi Continent, but I have not found a single clue. It turns out that it was already in your hands, my son-in-law, so naturally we couldn’t find it no matter how hard we looked.”

Although Gu Yuan was also curious about how the Spirit Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade ended up in Xiao Ling's hands, he didn't care and didn't ask any further questions.

Xiao Ling simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

These past few days, he had been preoccupied with spending time with his many female companions, neglecting all other matters and naturally not paying attention to this matter. In any case, the Ancient Emperor's Cave was about to be opened, so he was too lazy to explain any further at the moment.

With their cultivation levels, the four were incredibly fast, and it didn't take them long at all. In just a short while, they broke through layers of spatial barriers and descended into the depths of the underground magma world, into the special space where the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave was hidden.

This space has been silent for countless long years. It is completely empty and there are no strange sights. The whole space is filled with a heavy, ancient and vicissitudes, as if it has been precipitated for thousands of years.

Looking into the depths of space, a distant place, a soft light slowly emerges. In the center of the light stands a stone gate, a massive stone gate tens of thousands of feet high!
The stone gate stood silently in the vast void, as if it had existed there since time immemorial, never having moved an inch. A distant, wild, ancient aura slowly emanated from the stone gate, enveloping the entire silent space.

"My dear son-in-law, that is the cave of the ancient emperor Tuoshe." Upon seeing this, Zhu Kun could not hide his excitement and said, "Next, you just need to take out the collected jade of the ancient emperor Tuoshe to activate the restriction and open the cave door."

He had been imprisoned here for so many years, guarding the gate for Emperor Tuoshegu. What he had been longing for was to open the cave and seize the opportunity inside. Now that the moment had finally come, his mind was naturally restless.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and did not delay any longer.

Under the watchful eyes of the three men, he raised his hand and took out all eight pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

Before he could even consciously activate them, the eight ancient jades suddenly emitted light on their own, shooting out a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky before crashing back down and landing precisely on the towering stone gate.

"boom--!"

As soon as the beam of light touched it, the ancient stone door, which had been tightly closed for thousands of years, trembled suddenly and began to slowly move, with fine cracks appearing on the door.

The cracks continued to widen, and in a short while, the heavy stone door slowly slid open to the sides with a dull, grating creak. (End of Chapter)
