Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 83: The Elder's Letter of Advice to His Granddaughter

As this was a letter sent with the utmost urgency, Qian Renxue certainly couldn't take it lightly.

She carefully opened the envelope and began to browse its contents.

However, after reading it, she couldn't help but feel speechless.

The letter seemed to be making a mountain out of a molehill, which made her feel both amused and helpless.

The Grand Elder's letter read as follows:

My dear granddaughter, how have you been lately? Have you missed your grandpa?

Grandpa misses you very much.

Grandpa is writing to you this time to urge you to return to the Spirit Hall as soon as possible.

You infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire before, hoping to achieve something to impress Bibi Dong, because she had always disliked you. I understand that you did this to try and make her think more highly of you.

I disagreed with this plan from the very beginning.

But because I know your stubbornness too well, I have no choice but to let you have your way.

But the situation is very different now than it was back then.

Even if you succeed now, so what? The Heavenly Dou Empire is already a mess riddled with problems. It's on the verge of collapse even without our intervention.

No matter how successful you become, you cannot change Bibi Dong's opinion of you.

Moreover, do you know how powerful the Spirit Hall is right now?

We possess a Martial Soul Cultivation Tower, abundant auxiliary cultivation resources, and various material reserves.

You've neglected your cultivation all these years, and Grandpa feels that things can't continue like this.

Returning to the Spirit Hall will provide you with the best training conditions, without wasting your talent.

With your innate level 20 soul power, plus the Martial Soul Cultivation Tower, you will soon be able to cultivate to the title of Douluo.

Therefore, Grandpa hopes you can seriously consider this, let go of your obsession, and return to the Spirit Hall.

Grandpa is writing to you this time to tell you something very important: our family's angelic lineage.

This heritage represents our family's honor and history; it is our pride and responsibility.

This legacy needs to be carried on by you, because you are the most talented and capable descendant in our family.

Compared to other things, inheriting this legacy is more important than anything else.

Once you become an angel god, Bibi Dong and everyone else will look at you with new respect.

Oh, right, that brat Jerry set up six private training rooms at Chrysanthemum Douluo's house, not the single-attribute training towers outside. He and his five disciples, along with Ghost Douluo, hide inside to train every day.

A few days ago, when they weren't around, I secretly went to check on them.

The training room is specially designed according to each person's attributes and can be adjusted. As long as they can withstand the pressure of soul power concentration, they can not only improve their physical strength, but also increase their training speed by up to 200 times.

The publicly available cultivation tower, with a cultivation speed of only 10 times, is already highly sought after. If his cultivation room with a cultivation speed of 200 times were made public, it would probably be a battleground for talented people.

I must make him get one in the Elder Hall. Right now, those elders go to the Martial Soul Cultivation Tower every day, and they're all short-sighted. They're even making a fuss here trying to get a cultivation room for their juniors.

When you return, you can cultivate in this private training room. With your talent, you will be able to begin taking the divine test in five years at most.

Moreover, Jerry has recently been researching spirit rings and has made a major breakthrough.

I saw that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's first two spirit rings were both a thousand years old. They thought I couldn't tell and were hiding it from me.

That's why I wanted you to come back quickly. You haven't reached level 70 yet. Do you know Chrysanthemum Douluo's other two disciples?

They're already level 70, Jerry himself is level 80, and even his last disciple is now level 68.

Come back quickly. Don't worry about anything else. Cultivation is the most important thing.

We, the Spirit Hall, don't take these two great empires seriously at all.

If they dare to provoke us, we can easily put them in a difficult situation by raising prices.

Finally, the Spirit Hall branch withdrew directly. See which place can withstand the pressure.

Imagine how people would react if prices soared, food was scarce, cultivation materials were in short supply, and people's points could not be redeemed.

The consequences could be disastrous.

Moreover, many people have exchanged their money and resources for points, and people have become accustomed to the convenience brought by the Spirit Hall, so it is no longer possible to make them act the same way as before.

When that time comes, popular uprisings and rebellions by soul masters will naturally occur, and even nobles will not be able to escape it.

In the end, the country will be in turmoil. If they are lucky, they will survive, but it is estimated that development in all aspects will regress for many years. If they cannot withstand it, the empire will have to be completely transformed.

As for those sects, needless to say, many disciples are now secretly registering with the Spirit Hall.

If they make any unusual moves, we'll ban all sect members from registering, remove those who have already registered, and invalidate their points. Let's see which sect can withstand that.

Even Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, secretly registered and redeemed more than 2000 million points himself. We just don't want to take action right now.

Recently, many advanced Soul Masters have been added, and even the number of Title Douluo has increased by more than thirty, but they have not been officially conferred titles yet. Jerry said to keep them hidden for now.

Now, in terms of economy, resources, and manpower, we are overwhelming the two great empires and sects. Controlling them is no longer important. What matters most now is your cultivation.

I think highly of Jerry. You should come back and meet him. I mentioned you to him before, and he's very interested in you. If you two get together, Grandpa will be relieved.

Now every family is eyeing him. If Jerry hadn't refused, many people would probably have sent their daughters to Jerry's house long ago.

My dear granddaughter, come back soon!

You don't need to worry about Bibi Dong's thoughts. She is currently in seclusion and cultivating. When she comes out and finds that the entire Spirit City has been completely transformed, she may feel a headache coming on.

The current Wuhun City is no longer something she can control on her own.

While she is still in seclusion, return to Wuhun City and strive to achieve even greater success.

When she emerges from seclusion and sees your achievements, she will be utterly astonished. This will be even more shocking than if she knew you controlled the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Oh, right, I just remembered something important. Jerry and I discussed it, and he thinks that although the Heavenly Dou Empire is no longer important, it is still a former empire and there are still some valuable things in it.

The most precious of these is the Heavenly Dou Empire's national treasure – the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is an ancient treasure with magical powers, said to contain the legacy of the Sea God.

Of course, even if we don't need the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, we can't let this treasure fall into the hands of others.

We could try to investigate the situation of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. If possible, we could try to obtain this national treasure.

So listen to your grandfather and come back quickly!

After reading the letter, Qian Renxue thought a lot.

She was truly astonished by the cultivation speed of Jerry and the others, especially by the 200x cultivation room that followed.

Two hundred times faster! It's unimaginable how fast one can cultivate inside.

As for the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, I think I've heard of it.

"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover? I remember now, that useless thing in the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury, the Sea God's Legacy!"

"Uncles, Grandpa wants me to give up the Heaven Dou Empire and return to Wuhun City. What do you think?"

Qian Renxue was still somewhat hesitant about going back.

Qian Renxue was still somewhat unwilling. After years of hard work, she was about to succeed. If it weren't for Jerry, she would definitely have taken over a powerful empire.

But now the empire is a mess, a chicken rib—it's neither useful nor worth abandoning.

What was originally a perfect plan now has to be abandoned. I feel unwilling. All my years of hard work have been rendered meaningless by Jerry with a wave of his hand.

"Young Master, although we rarely pay attention to it, news of the development of Martial Soul City will eventually reach our ears, even if we don't care. Compared to the current Heaven Dou Empire, I think it's better to go back."

After considering it, Serpent Spear Douluo said that he now felt that taking over the Heaven Dou Empire was a waste of time and meaningless.

"I think so too. It's a blessing for the Spirit Hall to have produced a Jerry. With him around, there's no need for us to do any of this."

The Porcupine Douluo also expressed his opinion. He was also helpless and felt wronged for Qian Renxue. She had been lying low for many years and had put so much effort into this matter, but she couldn't stop Jerry, that monster, from doing something behind the scenes.

"Alright! Let's make arrangements to return to Wuhun City, but before we leave, let's retrieve something from the treasury."

After analyzing the pros and cons, Qian Renxue compromised and finally made a decision.

The next day, the entire Tiandou City was in an uproar.

The Second Prince, Xue Qinghe, died of poisoning. Tests revealed that the poison he was ingested was the same as that ingested by the First Prince, Xue Luochuan, and the Third Prince, Xue Haizang.

The Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, directly became the sole heir to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Many astute individuals felt they had grasped the underlying principles and began to side with Avalanche.

Heavenly Palace

Upon hearing the news of the Second Prince Xue Qinghe's death from poisoning, Emperor Xue Ye immediately vomited blood and fainted.

This news was a heavy blow to him, because he had always firmly believed that the deaths of the eldest and third princes were related to the second prince.

Now the second prince has suffered the same fate, and the suspicion has been cleared.

The investigation data that came in indicated that it was not the Fourth Prince who caused the avalanche.

However, judging from the results, the fourth prince was the biggest beneficiary of the avalanche.

Especially after hearing about the death of the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince changed his ways and stopped being a playboy.

He's been hiding his true abilities all these years, just putting on an act.

Emperor Xueye was shocked and regretful because he had underestimated the fourth prince and had not expected him to have such deep cunning and scheming.

You've been lying low for years, biding your time and enduring hardship; I really underestimated you.

Were they holding back before to divert my attention to the Second Prince? Were they trying to frame him and hide themselves from the consequences?

Does this sudden move mean they know I'm planning to pass the throne to the Second Prince next month?

Unable to hold back any longer, he knew he would miss out on the throne if he didn't act soon. Therefore, he decided to strike first and take action in advance to avoid losing the throne.

Only a few close friends and family members knew about the succession to the second prince. He really is my good son; he has even planted spies around me.

With such cunning, instead of acting openly and honestly against the Spirit Hall, he uses all his energy on his own brothers. What a fine son of mine!

Since you're so eager to become emperor, then I'll grant your wish and put you under pressure from the Spirit Hall. Let's see if you still have the ambition.

After the burial of the Second Prince Xue Qinghe, Emperor Xueye was deeply grieved and disheartened. He directly announced his abdication and passed the throne to the Fourth Prince Xue Beng.

At the same time, Prince Xuexing was also appointed as an assistant in order to help manage the government.

However, the abdication of Emperor Xueye did not put his mind at ease.

Fearing that his presence would hinder the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, he decided to leave the palace overnight with several concubines, his daughter Princess Xue Ke, and a few trusted confidants, heading to Wuhun City.

Emperor Xueye, as expected of someone who had been an emperor, was not blinded by the power of the throne. He was able to take it and let it go, and he was also prepared for the worst, having arranged his escape route well in advance.

Anyway, he couldn't do anything to the Spirit Hall, and he was already getting old, so he might as well find a place to retire peacefully. Spirit City was undoubtedly the best choice.

He believed that even if he were exposed later, the Spirit Hall would not make things difficult for an old man like him. Besides, he still had some connections with the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall, so as long as it wasn't anything serious, they wouldn't make things difficult for him.
