Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 269 Master-Disciple Conversation
"I am naturally at ease entrusting Xue'er to you."

Qian Xunji chuckled and patted Gu Han on the shoulder, then his gaze turned serious as he said, "Then there's one last thing."

"Master, please speak."

"Xiao Han, ever since you took over the Spirit Hall, you've been building schools for civilians, spreading the story of the Spirit Hall, manufacturing weapons, and secretly training troops. Tell your master honestly, what are you planning to do?"

Chihiro had already guessed this. Taken individually, these things, apart from the training, didn't seem to reveal anything, but when all of them were put together...
Gu Han also became serious and replied, "Master, the world is like a coin that is divided for a long time and then unites, and it is divided for a long time. On this continent, there are two great empires and various principalities under them. Although the Spirit Hall is there to keep them in check, there will still be constant friction."

"If we want true peace, we must unify the entire continent and control all the armies under heaven."

"You want to start a war?"

Qian Xunji asked with a serious expression, "You should know that if you launch a campaign without a legitimate reason, you will be attacked by the whole world."

"This war should not be initiated by the Spirit Hall."

"If you don't initiate a war, how can you unify the continent?"

Qian Xunji was somewhat confused. If the goal was to unify the continent, war was inevitable. However, given the current situation on the continent, it was impossible for the two great empires to launch a large-scale war. So, was the intention to sow discord between the two countries?

Gu Han smiled and said, "Master, it's nine words: store up grain, build high walls, and delay declaring yourself king."

"As the number one power on the continent, the Spirit Hall has a deep foundation and many experts. It is more than enough to be king, but the timing is not right. So what we need to do now is to accumulate grain, manufacture weapons, and secretly train a new era army."

"As for territory, although my Spirit Hall is a major power, we currently only have one Spirit City, which is far from enough."

"Territory is a minor matter. The Heaven Dou Empire is currently in political chaos and fragmented. Its subordinate duchies, after years of being courted, have long harbored rebellious intentions. They only need an opportunity to fall into the arms of my Spirit Hall."

"However, before that, we don't need to rush to show our ambitions. We should slowly accumulate popular support and resources."

"What if we fail?" Chihiro asked, voicing the worst possible outcome.

“Master, unless there is a 98% success rate, our Spirit Hall has always been a peace-loving Spirit Hall.”

Gu Han smiled and said, "War is not child's play. If you want to achieve final victory, you must first be invincible."

"Furthermore, Master, don't you think the mainland has been quiet for too long?"

"Especially the Star Luo Empire. When the previous emperor was in power, he often ignored the warnings of the Spirit Hall and launched invasions against the Heaven Dou Empire. Now, this Emperor Dai Hao had great ambitions when he was the crown prince. He was the one who instigated many wars. Why did he become so obedient after taking the throne?"

"You mean, Xingluo is also preparing for a major battle?" Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's just speculation, but the Spirit Hall is located at the border of two great empires, so we need to be prepared to deal with it."

"Well, since you've thought things through, I won't pry any further. After all, it's the two of you on the front lines right now."

Chihiro stated that she has already retired and only needs to ensure the integrity of the matter.

Now that Gu Han has already set the location for the Spirit Hall, he doesn't need to think about it anymore.

As for why Qian Xunji didn't object, the reason is simple: it's impossible for the Spirit Hall not to covet the mainland; everyone wants their power to become stronger and better.

Otherwise, the things Gu Han had tried to do over the years wouldn't have been so easily approved by the Hall of Offerings. "Hmm."

Little Qian Renxue in Gu Han's arms let out a cute sound, rubbed her eyes with her chubby little hands, opened her eyes groggily and glanced at Gu Han, then snuggled closer to Gu Han and closed her eyes again to sleep peacefully.

"It seems you disturbed Xue'er. Give her to me, I'll take Xue'er back to her room."

Qian Xunji reached out and took Qian Renxue, then led her back to her room.

Time flies, and Gu Han took advantage of this time to arrange what needed to be arranged.

Especially on the upper floor, Gu Han, in order to prevent the other party from showing off to Old Titan, informed them in advance not to disclose the weapons such as guns and cannons.

"Haha, Brother Gu, congratulations on your marriage to Her Highness the Holy Maiden."

Ning Fengzhi was the first to arrive, and unsurprisingly, the one who came with him was Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

"Brother Fengzhi, Master, please don't stand outside, come inside with me."

The groups that came to Wuhun City for exchange and learning have returned to their respective cities, and the Holy Son Hall is now empty, so Gu Han is here to receive visiting guests.

After the three entered the reception room of the Holy Son's Palace, they sat down. Gu Han poured a cup of tea for the two of them and ordered some pastries and fruits to be served.

"I really didn't expect that His Holiness the Pope would entrust matters to you and Dong'er so early."

After inquiring about the matter between Gu Han and Bibi Dong, Chen Xin made this remark. The invitation not only mentioned Gu Han and Bibi Dong's wedding, but also the ascension of the new pope, which could be described as a shocking event for the entire continent.

They had thought that Qian Xunji would eventually retire behind the scenes, but they never expected it to happen so soon.

Almost all the forces on the mainland thought that Qian Xunji would continue for another twenty years, but no one expected it. It was beyond everyone's expectations.

“Master is now focused on worshipping the Angel God. As you know, as early as three years ago, my senior sister and I began to take over a lot of affairs of the Spirit Hall. This matter was decided three years ago after the worshippers and elders reached a consensus.”

Gu Han no longer hid this matter, since it was now in the past and no longer a secret.

"I didn't expect it to have been decided three years ago." Ning Fengzhi's heart stirred, and he smiled.

As for Gu Han keeping it from them, Ning Fengzhi could understand it. After all, his position was what it was, and he had to learn to separate personal relationships from power. Ning Fengzhi greatly admired Gu Han for this.

Because of missing out on Gu Han, Ning Fengzhi has become increasingly generous to commoner soul masters over the years.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot reach the level of the Spirit Hall, where even commoners in remote mountain villages can go there to awaken their spirits, the villages near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have also begun to implement a policy of free spirit hall awakening.

Gu Han saw all of this. Regardless of the other party's motives, the outcome was good for ordinary people.

He wasn't worried that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's actions would steal the Spirit Hall's business, since the Spirit Hall had already moved on to the next stage, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hadn't continued to expand.

Of course, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wants this name, then the Spirit Hall is willing to accept this hard-won helper.

In the end, the Spirit Hall remained the leader, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was at best a good sect that was influenced by the Spirit Hall.
