Douluo: The martial soul Nine-headed Xiangliu swallows the sky and devours the earth!

Chapter 159 Hope on a Snowy Night
Xue Qinghe returned to Tiandou City from Sunset Forest. His second spirit ring was a thousand-year-level spirit ring, which made Xue Ye very happy, even though he was his eldest son.

His talent in Soul Master is not ideal. At nearly fourteen years old, he has barely reached the level of Great Soul Master. If he is not good, he is still very poor.

However, in other aspects, he was deeply loved by Xue Ye and was the future emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, which was different from the Star Luo Empire.

Among all the princes of the Star Luo Empire, only the prince who survives the final battle can become the emperor of the Star Luo Empire and lead it to power. The competition is extremely fierce.

Because of the throne, it's a matter of life or death for the brothers; only the strongest can become the future emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

But what about the Heavenly Dou Empire?

There are no strict requirements regarding the strength of the successor; whether or not one is a powerful Soul Master has little impact on becoming the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

This may also be the reason why the Heaven Dou Empire is weaker than the Star Luo Empire in terms of overall national strength. After all, the person who becomes the emperor of the Star Luo Empire is very strong in terms of both his skills and character.

Tiandou Empire Palace.

"Excellent, excellent. A thousand-year spirit ring, it really is a thousand-year spirit ring! This whale glue is truly a treasure! My son's second spirit ring is actually a thousand-year spirit ring!"

On the throne, Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe in front of him and said with delight, "Although Xue Qinghe's talent is not ideal, his second soul ring is a thousand-year soul ring."

Compared to him, it's not bad.

"Qinghe, don't slack off on your cultivation, but you can't neglect other aspects either, understand? You are the child on whom I have high hopes."

"I am certain that I will be able to lead the Heavenly Dou Empire to prosperity in the future," Emperor Xueye said with a faint smile on his somewhat wrinkled face.

"I understand, Father. I know that I am not as good as my other brothers in cultivation, so I will definitely work hard in other areas and will not let you down."

Xue Qinghe looked at Emperor Xue Ye in front of him and spoke these words in a very natural manner. However, it was impossible to tell that the Xue Qinghe at this moment was not the Xue Qinghe of the past.

It can only be described as flawless, without any flaws, it is completely Xue Qinghe himself here!
The reason she was able to achieve such a disguise was actually due to her three years of observation of Xue Qinghe's words and actions, which she had memorized completely.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't be sure if she could completely impersonate Xue Qinghe.

After exchanging a few words with Emperor Xueye, Xue Qinghe left. Watching Xue Qinghe's departing figure, Xueye became increasingly satisfied, finding him neither humble nor arrogant, but refined and courteous.

He's practically his ideal successor!
As for his second, third, and fourth sons, well, in every aspect, Xue Qinghe is far superior to his second, third, and fourth sons.

Of course, what the fourth son will be like in the future is still uncertain, after all, the fourth son is only four years old this year.

However, his other sons were not without their own strengths. In terms of Soul Master talent, they were stronger than Xue Qinghe. His second son had a sixth-level innate Soul Power, and his third son had a seventh-level innate Soul Power.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly low level of innate soul power; it's actually quite high, especially within the Heaven Dou Royal Family, given their Snow Swan Inherited Martial Soul.

It's neither particularly strong nor weak, and it's still very difficult for powerful Soul Masters to emerge from it, unlike the Martial Souls of the Upper Three Sects, whose Martial Souls are of extremely high quality and are simply blessed by nature!
Meanwhile, the Star Luo Empire opposite them possessed an extremely powerful royal martial spirit—the Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial spirit—which could even form a martial spirit fusion skill with the women of the Zhu family. After returning to her residence, Xue Qinghe looked at the familiar building. She used to live here, and she still did, only her identity had been somewhat reversed.

Upon entering the mansion, a maidservant came forward to greet us.

She was sitting on a wicker chair on the balcony, sipping her tea. It was tea that her maid had just brewed for her, and it was even tea specially supplied to the royal family.

"Three years... Now I've taken the most important and crucial step. As long as that old bastard Xue Ye dies, I can smoothly become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Thinking back on these three years, it's really gone by so fast. I can hardly believe that my identity has undergone such a dramatic change." Qian Renxue gazed into the distance, feeling a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

This place used to be built by Xue Qinghe.

As for the maid who died in Sunset Forest?

No one cared. Xue Ye didn't care, and neither did she. After all, she was just an ordinary maid. As long as Xue Qinghe wasn't injured, it didn't matter to the royal family who died.

The seven Soul Emperors who returned with her have fully integrated into Heaven Dou City. Although their disguise still has flaws, it is difficult to detect them without careful examination.

Not only do they have the same martial spirit, but their soul power level is also the same. Furthermore, by disguising their appearance, it is virtually impossible to discover their true identities.

Moreover, in the future, she will gradually replace everyone in the mansion with Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall, and she will also recruit some people from the Heaven Dou Empire to become her own team.

As for building his own team, Xueye would probably be happy to see it. If he didn't have ambitions for the throne, he would just be a monarch who maintains the status quo in the future.

She hadn't forgotten the long-cherished wish of the emperors of the Heavenly Dou Empire: to defeat the Star Luo Empire and become the only empire on this continent, though of course, it was extremely difficult to achieve.

After all, the power dynamics in the Soul Master world are complex and intertwined. Those sects and forces are more or less unwilling to see a unified empire emerge.

The Spirit Hall was like that in the past. Otherwise, why would the two great empires have fought each other countless times over thousands of years without ever unifying the other side?

It would be impossible if there were no involvement from those sects or the Spirit Hall.

Of course, the future will definitely involve unifying the continent. After all, the world is suffering, and the angels are compassionate and want to save all living beings from the dawn of time. When there is only one empire on the continent...

Those sufferings, those sins, those evils will be greatly reduced.

However, the final protagonist will definitely not be the Heaven Dou Empire, but their Martial Soul Empire. As long as she follows the plan step by step, the Heaven Dou Empire in the future will no longer be the Heaven Dou Empire.

This was their Spirit Hall's plan. The plan to steal the sky and change the sun had existed for a long time, but it had never been used until the time came for her.
