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

Chapter 230 Sending out the Eight Gates Formation

"That was before, it's all in the past now." Xue Qinghe readily admitted, as people like her disdain hiding things unless there's no other way.

She admitted that she initially had a plan targeting Chen Xuan, but it did not involve his life; the final result was to keep him under control.

Most importantly, Qian Renxue was worried that Chen Xuan would betray her and join Bibi Dong or another faction, causing unnecessary trouble, so she prepared a plan to be on the safe side.

Chen Xuan's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "She's a crazy woman just like Bibi Dong. No wonder they became family."

"You don't need to think too much. As long as you help me seize the throne, I can grant you three requests," Xue Qinghe said, as if she had seen through his thoughts.

Chen Xuan waved his hand and said, "Forget about any requests. You've taken care of my sister for so many years. I can help you with anything that isn't morally wrong, as a way of thanking you."

Qian Renxue was stunned and somewhat taken aback. Living in an environment full of interests, she had not expected him to say such a thing.

"I still think that seizing the throne is quite difficult. Just don't end up failing unexpectedly," Chen Xuan reminded him, after all, the royal family still wields considerable power.

Qian Renxue nodded. She had already resolved the potential threats, and almost all the royal forces she could win over were on her side.

Emperor Xueye had been taking the poison she had given him for years, and his body was already in a state of disrepair. Now she had increased the dosage, and the results would be in six months at most.

"Half a year? That's too long. It doesn't feel safe enough." Chen Xuan was worried. Who knows what might happen during that time? It's hard to say.

He pondered for a moment and suggested, "It's best to prepare for both possibilities. Try to transfer as many troops and soul masters as possible, so that even if the plan fails in the end, we can still be invincible."

"Transfer?" Qian Renxue was stunned. She had never thought of such a thing before and felt that he was worrying too much. The plan was now foolproof and only lacked the right opportunity.

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Didn't you dislike Bibi Dong? Why didn't you plan ahead and wait for the right opportunity to take back the Spirit Hall as well?"

He himself grew increasingly disliked Bibi Dong, that crazy woman. Since taking office, she had done very few good things, merely continuing the policies of the previous popes, while she herself enjoyed the fruits of those policies.

Most importantly, as a pope who controls the lives of so many people, he did so many absurd things for a man, losing his rationality and going completely mad.

"Oh, Chen Xuan, I didn't expect you to know so much." Qian Renxue smiled, her beautiful eyes sparkling, yet revealing a hint of coldness.

In fact, she was quite ambitious and did have a desire to seize control of the Spirit Hall.

Chen Xuan was not intimidated at all. Meeting her deep gaze, he had nothing to be afraid of and simply met her eyes.

Since we have a relatively close cooperative relationship, we should reveal certain things to avoid unnecessary suspicion in the future.

Seeing that Chen Xuan was not afraid at all, looking like a dead pig that doesn't care about boiling water, Qian Renxue's fair eyebrows showed a few more wrinkles.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly. This guy wasn't afraid of her aura at all, which was very different from others. He was very similar to Tang San in this respect.

"Where did you find out about all this about me?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly, looking particularly curious.

First, they learned her identity, and then they revealed her private secrets, making it hard not to be suspicious.

Chen Xuan was just an ordinary Soul Master born on the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, nothing special. However, he had an unusually large number of Soul Skills and Techniques. Now that he knew some of her secrets, it was as if the word "problem" was written all over his face.

"This is the only question I'm not too keen to answer." Chen Xuan shrugged and continued, "There are some things I'd rather not say, for fear of upsetting you. Right now, even I can't distinguish between illusion and reality."

Those people once said that this place was formed by the fusion of reality and illusion; it was both real and fake. If we use parallel universes as an analogy, Douluo Star also exists in other universes, where the same things are happening.

There are quite a few people like him who are chosen and sent to various ordinary time-spaces for cultivation. Whether they eventually leave or remain in that time-space forever depends on how far they go.

Chen Xuan didn't want to think about these things, because every time he thought about such profound issues, he felt a sense of desolation, unease, and a mental detachment from the world.

Therefore, he doesn't think too far ahead. He just wants to live each day to the fullest. Besides, what he needs to think about now is how to improve his strength and gain a foothold in the war of gods in the near future.

Qian Renxue stared intently at Chen Xuan for a long while before gradually withdrawing her gaze.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. But you're right about one thing: I really don't like that woman. I'll seriously consider your suggestion." When she spoke of Bibi Dong, she felt only hatred and disgust.

The Spirit Hall was created by her father and grandfather, but it was taken away by that woman Bibi Dong. How could she not be angry? Naturally, she thought about taking it back, but she didn't have the ability before, and she doesn't have a suitable opportunity now.

"Currently, there are only three major powers on the mainland. There is still time before war breaks out. You should secretly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to take down the Spirit Hall and the two great empires in one fell swoop." Chen Xuan was afraid that she would not take it seriously, so he continued to drop bombshells.

The Spirit Hall and the two great empires are irreconcilable enemies, and Tang San and Bibi Dong have a blood feud. If war breaks out in the future, they will fight to the death. At that time, Qian Renxue will lead her troops to destroy both sides and unify the continent.

"You make it sound so easy. That woman may be despicable and vicious, but her strength is above ours." Qian Renxue shook her head, lacking confidence.

Chen Xuan continued, "Everything has to take the first step before it's possible. There's still time to prepare. I believe you have the ability, and besides, I will help you."

Then he took out a scroll and handed it to Xue Qinghe.

"What is this?" Qian Renxue opened the drawing, which depicted human figures practicing various strange movements and moves she had never seen before.

Chen Xuan explained that this physical technique is called the Eight Gates Formation. After learning it, each additional gate opened allows a Soul Master to unleash power several times stronger than their own strength. It is especially effective for Soul Masters with exceptional Martial Soul talent.

He improved this technique, replacing the chakra cultivation method with soul power, making it applicable to the cultivation of every soldier on a large scale. Even ordinary people can try to cultivate it.

"Really?" After hearing his explanation, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes lit up, showing a hint of joy.

If what Chen Xuan said is true, and ordinary people can also cultivate, then her army could be trained into a legion comparable to a Soul Master.

It should be noted that the number of Soul Masters on the entire continent is extremely small, totaling only tens of thousands. The majority of those in the army are ordinary people or Soul Warriors below level ten, who are not even considered Soul Masters.

"Anyone with soul power can cultivate, but the people you're referring to probably can only open up to the third gate at most," Chen Xuan said.

He stated that even if there were martial arts geniuses, they could only open the sixth gate at most, let alone the seventh or eighth.

Because Chen Xuan removed the method for opening the Death Gate, so that if some extraordinary genius were to suddenly appear and open the Death Gate to confront him head-on, that would be a huge problem.

Even so, Qian Renxue was moved and content. With this extraordinary skill, she could train a massive army that did not belong to the Soul Master army.

"Alright, I'll accept this amazing skill. I'll have some people secretly learn it later. Chen Xuan, you've been a great help to me this time. Tell me, what do you want?" She was very grateful to Chen Xuan and wanted to reward him with something.

Chen Xuan clicked his tongue. It was that same superior attitude again, which he really disliked.

"Helping you was my own choice, and also out of gratitude for your care of Yiyi, but I never expected to get anything from you." He was somewhat speechless.

Then, Chen Xuan said, "I'm going to the Star Luo Empire. I'll be leaving tomorrow morning."
