Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Qi Dao caught his breath, looked at the mess around him, and laughed heartily.

Even though the Six Swords of Supremacy are not yet perfect, they still greatly enhance his combat power.

Qi Dao was very confident that if he used the Heart Sword state and then the Six Swords of Supremacy, any Soul Master below the title level, unless they were a defensive Soul Master, would most likely be killed by him on their first encounter.

Even a titled Douluo has a high chance of failing if they don't reach level 95.

It should be noted that when Qi Dao had just absorbed his sixth spirit ring, he only felt that his attack power was enough to reach the threshold for being a titled leader.

The difference between attacking to the level of a titled Douluo and killing a titled Douluo is like heaven and earth.

Qi Dao's sixth soul skill is terrifyingly powerful, but there is a possibility that the opponent can dodge it.

Especially at the level of a Title Douluo, one's perception is extremely sensitive. If no one is there to restrain him, it would be difficult for Qi Dao's attacks to hit the opponent.

But the Six Swords of Supremacy are different.

The Six Swords of Supremacy have both high stats and complex mechanics, making them virtually impossible to defend against; even a Title Douluo cannot dodge them.

Especially for Title Douluo at levels 91 to 95, whose strength has not yet undergone a qualitative change, coupled with the fact that Soul Masters' physical strength is insufficient, they could be instantly killed by Qi Dao if they are not careful.

The only drawback of the Six Swords of Supremacy is that the consumption of soul power is too terrifying, especially for a Soul Emperor.

It should be noted that the Heart Sword state is already a major drain on soul power, and now with the Six Swords of Supremacy, even Qi Dao cannot withstand it.

Unless he can condense a soul core ahead of time!

Qi Dao had naturally planned for this, preparing to condense his soul core at level seventy.

His soul power, mental strength, and physique are all far superior to those of other soul masters of the same level, so there is no reason why he cannot condense a soul core.

However, before condensing the soul core, he still needs to seek guidance from Dugu Bo.

Although he knew the general principles of condensing a soul core, knowing the principles and actually doing it are two different things.

...

After completing his study of the Six Swords of Supreme Sovereignty, Qi Dao took a bath and then went to the Crown Prince's residence to meet Qian Renxue.

When Qian Renxue saw Qi Dao, she also returned to her original appearance.

She smiled and said, "A-Dao, you've emerged from seclusion?"

Qi Dao went into seclusion for three and a half months after returning to Tiandou City.

This was the first time the two had met in three and a half months.

"Yes, I came to check as soon as I got out of customs."

After hearing this, Qian Renxue's lips curled up slightly.

It seems she's still more important!

"Come and sit down!"

Qian Renxue gestured for Qi Dao to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and then asked, "Having been in seclusion for so long, what have you gained?"

Qi Dao casually said, "The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's natal pearl is indeed a treasure. After I absorbed it, my level increased by five levels, and I also inherited the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attributes and skills."

"Of course, my biggest gain during this time was creating my own sword technique."

In the past, Qian Renxue would have been very surprised to hear these words.

But now, she has gradually gotten used to it, and after listening to Qi Dao's words, she simply smiled and said, "As expected of you!"

"Now, if you activate your Heart Sword state, you should have few rivals below the Title Douluo level."

Qi Dao replied with a smile, "More or less."

After saying that, he also asked, "And you, Sister Lao?"

When Qi Dao asked about her, Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile, a hint of smugness in her eyes.

Guess what level I am now?

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao pondered for a moment.

He mentioned it to Dugu Bo before he went into seclusion.

If he makes a deal with Qian Renxue, he will give her the Narcissus Jade Bone plant from the herb garden.

Narcissus Jade Bone is the immortal herb that Zhu Zhuqing consumed in the original novel. It has no special properties and is a neutral immortal herb, just like the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

The core function of Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone Strengthening is to nourish tendons and bones, and unblock the eight extraordinary meridians, which can greatly strengthen tendons, bones and meridians and improve physical condition.

In addition, this herb also has a certain effect on improving complexion.

It should be noted that Qian Renxue's appearance was already stunning, and now that she has taken the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, she has become even more exquisite and beautiful.

Of course, the main reason Qi Dao chose this immortal herb for Qian Renxue was because there were no immortal herbs with the attribute of light among them.

There are indeed herbs with light properties, and their quality is not bad, on par with the ninth-grade purple ganoderma.

However, Qian Renxue is a god-level martial soul, so even light-attribute immortal herbs would have limited effect on her, let alone herbs that are not even immortal herbs.

That is why Qi Dao chose the Narcissus Jade Bone for Qian Renxue.

When there are no suitable medicinal herbs with specific properties, taking neutral medicinal herbs is always the right choice.

Moreover, the effect of Narcissus Jade in enhancing soul power is extremely strong.

In the original story, Zhu Zhuqing, who consumed this magical herb, experienced the greatest level increase among the Shrek Seven Devils.

Therefore, Qi Dao guessed that Qian Renxue's level must be quite high now.

After all, Qian Renxue's target for absorbing her eighth spirit ring was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast.

A 100,000-year soul ring plus the Narcissus Jade Bone...

Qi Dao thought for a moment and then said a number.

"Level 86?"

Qian Renxue's expression fell slightly, and she muttered, "How did you guess it so easily?"

"You guessed right?" Qi Dao said with a smile.

Qian Renxue nodded, but then added, "However, my plan also needs to be implemented ahead of schedule."

"I need to finish dealing with the Heavenly Battle matter before reaching level 90."

She is already at level 86, and in a year and a half at most, she will reach level 90.

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao's expression became more serious.

"Sister Lao, are you planning to launch a coup and seize power?"

Qian Renxue shook her head.

"No need. I have already found a poison master from the Spirit Hall. He has given Emperor Xue Ye a slow-acting mixed poison. In three months at most, I will be able to send him to his death without anyone noticing."

"As for seizing power?"

"Hmph, now that the Emperor is bedridden, I, as the Crown Prince, should naturally oversee the country and take charge of the government."

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao frowned and said, "Sister Lao, have you thought about what will happen after you become emperor?"

"After all, you'll have to return to the Spirit Hall sooner or later."

Qian Renxue was confident and her eyes were bright.

"Don't worry, I had a plan!"

Qi Dao asked curiously, "What plan?"

Qian Renxue said, “I will send Emperor Xueye to his death within three months, and then he will ascend the throne. After that, I will incorporate those five kingdoms and duchies, unify the entire territory of the Tiandou Empire, and then find a fabricated reason to launch a war of unification against the Xingluo Empire and unify the continent.”

Qi Dao frowned and said, "Theoretically, this plan is feasible, but aren't you supposed to return to the Spirit Hall in a year and a half at most?"

"A year and a half shouldn't be enough time to unify the continent, right?"

Qian Renxue smiled faintly and said, "Therefore, I have no intention of unifying the continent within a year and a half."

After speaking, she looked at Qi Dao and said meaningfully, "A Dao, if a year and a half later, a powerful ruler suddenly appears in the Heavenly Dou Empire, unifying the entire empire, but is suddenly assassinated by a powerful figure from the Star Luo Empire at the last moment, what do you think the outcome would be?"

Qi Dao's eyes lit up, and then he looked at Qian Renxue.

"Are you trying to use your own 'death' to provoke a conflict between the two countries, thereby launching a war of unification?"

Qian Renxue nodded calmly and said, "I will destroy Xuexing and Xuebeng before that, at which time only Xue Ke will remain of the royal bloodline."

"Xue Ke is weak-willed. After I 'die,' you can step forward to take charge and use the pretext of avenging me to launch a national war."

"The Heaven Dou Empire is weak, so the Spirit Hall can take advantage of the situation to intervene and sideline Xue Ke."

"From this day forward, the Spirit Hall will be the state religion of the Heaven Dou Kingdom, with divine right of kings!"
