Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 212 Xiao Wu Leaves

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Chen Xuan and Xiao Wu lived in the Star Dou Great Forest. The central area was very quiet and undisturbed, and the two lived a peaceful and simple life.

A week passed quickly. The two lived a quiet and peaceful life, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, which could be considered a short period of seclusion.

Chen Xuan moved into Xiao Wu's boudoir and slept in the same bed. However, after so many days, he didn't take any steps and did nothing but rest.

In fact, he tried and was bold, but Xiao Wu's attitude was very firm. Not to mention doing anything intimate, even kissing was rare.

This period can be described as Chen Xuan's darkest moment. He was with a beautiful woman day and night, but he couldn't do anything with her, which made him very upset and unable to vent his anger.

In the end, he couldn't take it anymore. If he continued like this, his body would really have problems, so he decided to just go into seclusion.

Chen Xuan found a good place, a cave halfway up a mountain, which was perfect for secluded cultivation.

There is a large amount of unrefined life force remaining in his body. With each passing day, his life force will be lost, and he cannot afford to waste any more of it.

"Perhaps I can try to break through to the Rinnegan," Chen Xuan muttered to himself, a very bold idea popping into his mind.

The conditions for awakening the Rinnegan are very demanding: Yin Release chakra, Yang Release chakra, Hashirama cells, and the Eternal Eye are all indispensable.

Chen Xuan doesn't lack much. Besides the Eternal Eye, he has fused with Hashirama's cells, naturally gaining Yang Release chakra. Combining it with his own Yin Release chakra, it's not impossible for him to succeed.

The Sage of Six Paths was able to awaken the Rinnegan from the three-tomoe Sharingan, so his current conditions are not bad either. If he were to settle for second best, awakening the Rinnegan from the Mangekyou Sharingan shouldn't be a problem, right?

"It's worth a try, there's plenty of time anyway." Chen Xuan made up his mind to first refine the life force in his body, which should allow him to evolve into an immortal body. At that time, cultivating immortal techniques would naturally be a piece of cake.

After saying his instructions to Xiao Wu, he turned and plunged into the cave to begin his long-awaited cultivation.

When he drew out the rich life force within his body, the world behind his heart trembled, and the plant resonated with it, directly seizing control of his body.

This plant is domineering; its nine red agate-like fruits tremble lightly, as if opening the gaping maw of an abyss, drawing in the life force within Chen Xuan's body and beginning to frantically suck it up.

Speaking of which, this plant was the first one I got from the system's gift pack. Initially, it only had the effects of evolving martial souls and cleansing the marrow, but it had high growth potential and took root in his heart.

At that time, it first absorbed the dual cultivation fruit that Xiao Wu ate, then absorbed the energy of the soul ring, and finally swallowed the poisonous substance bestowed by Qian Renxue. Now, the strange plant has evolved into a celestial-grade plant.

Chen Xuan had anticipated that this plant would compete with him for the right to live, but he didn't care at all; it was all within his expectations.

It acts like a converter, returning a small portion of any substance and life force it absorbs as purer and more concentrated natural energy.

What puzzled Chen Xuan was that the plant absorbed nutrients very slowly, much slower than ever before, leading him to wonder if it had reached saturation or had already evolved to its final stage.

Time flies, and another seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the cave, Chen Xuan remained seated. So many days had passed, yet he still hadn't finished his seclusion; it had taken longer than expected.

In fact, it wasn't until today that all the remaining life force in his body was refined, as a large portion of it was absorbed by the strange object.

Chen Xuan was extremely surprised. An unexpected incident occurred during the process: all the cells flowing in his body were absorbed by the plant, leaving not a trace of energy. It was completely drained, which was unexpected.

Time passed, and five more days went by in the blink of an eye. Beads of sweat appeared on his skin, squeezing out some unpleasant substances from his flesh and blood, making his body feel lighter.

Moreover, the plant began to return energy, merging into his flesh and organs. Chen Xuan discovered that his heart was glowing, though dimly, and a warm current was flowing through his limbs and bones, but very slowly.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that the purity of his Wood Release technique had increased; it was originally only 30%, but it was now slowly increasing.

"This thing can indeed purify energy." Chen Xuan was surprised. Although he had expected it, he was still taken aback. He really didn't expect that something like Hashirama's cells could be refined.

To fully master Wood Release, one must possess the body of a Sage. Simply melting Hashirama's cells would yield no more than 50% of the desired result.

It now seems that as long as one achieves the Sage Body, one can master Wood Release 100% and obtain chakra comparable to the Ten-Tails, which is inexhaustible.

The integration process will take a long time. Chen Xuan misjudged it before and estimated that it wouldn't be completed so quickly. It would take at least one or two months, and at most half a year. So he decided to inform Xiao Wu.

He walked out of the cave and returned to the cozy little wooden house, saying, "I might be cultivating for a long time from now on. What are my plans?"

If Xiao Wu has something to do, he can put aside his seclusion for now and accompany her to complete her important tasks first.

"It's been more than half a month. My daughter must be very lonely in Zhuqing. I want to go and see Qiu'er," Xiao Wu said, missing her daughter Chen Qiu'er very much.

Before returning to the Star Dou Great Forest, she entrusted Qiu'er to Zhu Zhuqing's care, and a month has passed since then.

"Alright, I also want to see our child. I'll accompany you on your journey tomorrow. We can talk about cultivation later," Chen Xuan said. He also wanted to see what his precious daughter looked like and how much she resembled him.

However, Xiao Wu shook her head and said, "Chen Xuan, you don't need to worry about me. You go ahead and do your own thing."

"What are you talking about? Cultivation is not as important as you and your daughter." Chen Xuan was indeed worried about her going alone and feared that she might encounter danger on the way.

Xiao Wu shook her head and said softly, "You really don't need to worry about me. I'm very powerful now. With Da Ming and Er Ming guarding you here, no one can disturb you. It's perfect for you to cultivate your soul power."

After a moment's thought, Chen Xuan concluded that the central area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest was the best place in terms of safety, making it very suitable for his long-term seclusion.

However, he only had this one fiancée, and he was really worried about her.

"Alright, you really don't need to worry about me. I'm strong now, and I don't need your protection anymore!" Xiao Wu said, while Chen Xuan clenched his fist to show his strength.

"Oh, that's amazing. It seems I won't be needed to protect you anymore; you'll have to protect the others instead," Chen Xuan said, feigning exaggeration.

"You dare!" Xiao Wu glared at him, raised her small fist, and punched his chest, saying fiercely, "From now on, you're only allowed to protect me and our daughter, do you hear me!"

"I don't want to talk to you anymore. I need to pack my things now. I'm going to the Star Luo Empire soon. You just stay in the Star Dou Great Forest and don't go anywhere!"

Xiao Wu was very domineering. She pressed Chen Xuan's shoulder and sat down, pretending to be stern as she warned him not to follow.

"Alright, take these two kunai that I've inscribed. If you encounter danger, break one of them, and I'll sense it immediately." Chen Xuan took out two gleaming silver kunai and told her to keep them on her person and not lose them.

Given Xiao Wu's carefree nature, he was genuinely afraid that she might not care and would just leave it lying around somewhere.

"I know, I'm a child again. If you don't come looking for me in a month, I'll bring Qiu'er back to see you." Xiao Wu stretched out her jade hand and gently tapped his forehead.

This time, Chen Xuan grabbed the fair and slender wrist. He let it go last time, but now she wanted to tease him again? No way!

"You're hurting me!" Xiao Wu said unhappily, her brows furrowing slightly.

Chen Xuan released his grip and said, "If you dare to flirt with me again, I'll fight back. It'll be a good opportunity to make a younger brother for my daughter."

"I don't want a son. If you want one, have one yourself. Besides, Qiu'er definitely doesn't want a younger brother either." Xiao Wu snorted and stuck out her tongue at Chen Xuan.

"It's getting late, I have to go now." She had already packed her luggage and put it all into her soul-guided storage device.

Chen Xuan saw her off for a while, stopping only after walking a few miles, and said, "Be careful, don't worry me."

Xiao Wu blushed slightly and said coquettishly, "Okay, I know. Be good at home, okay? I'll bring Qiu'er back to see you later."

Chen Xuan's forehead creased with annoyance. This was truly a reversal of the natural order, but he didn't dwell on it. He watched Xiao Wu leave until she disappeared into the distance.

"I should go back to seclusion now." He walked back and took out a green beast-shaped pouch from his bosom, about the size of a brocade pouch, containing dozens of immortal herbs.

This item was stolen from Tang San five years ago and entrusted to Xiao Wu for safekeeping after Tang San's death.
