Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 235 Analysis

Although many forces on the Douluo Continent know that the Heaven Dou Empire possesses the national treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which has been passed down by the Heaven Dou royal family.

However, even the Heavenly Dou royal family, who have passed down the secrets from generation to generation, do not know the specific function of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, nor how to use it.

Therefore, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover has always been kept in the treasury of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

...

Looking at Yuan Changqing, Xue Qinghe asked, "Then how do I use this Vast Ocean Universe Cover?"

Instead of directly answering Xue Qinghe's question, Yuan Changqing countered with, "Have you obtained the Vast Ocean Universe Cover yet?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head and said, "I did see the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but I haven't gotten my hands on it yet."

"Because this is a national treasure, it is preserved in a very strict manner. Without special reasons, even with my current status, it would be impossible for me to get my hands on it."

What Xue Qinghe said was true. Even in the original story, Tang San helped the Heaven Dou royal family quell Xue Qinghe's conspiracy as a fake crown prince and became Xue Beng's teacher. He had such a great merit that Xue Beng had to consider it carefully before Tang San finally got his hands on it.

Otherwise, even if the Heavenly Dou Empire doesn't know its specific function and how to use it, and it's just sitting rotten in the national treasury, it won't be so easy to take it.

Then, Yuan Changqing added, "This Vast Ocean Universe Cover won't be of much use to you, since you don't need it."

"However, if you can get your hands on it, it's best to do so. Otherwise, if it falls into the enemy's hands, it will cause many complications and a lot of trouble."

Xue Qinghe also learned from Bibi Dong that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was related to the Sea God, so he naturally understood why Yuan Changqing said that.

Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said makes a lot of sense. However, I cannot get my hands on it for the time being. I need to wait for a suitable opportunity."

"However, Your Majesty, could you please explain its usage and function?"

So Yuan Changqing nodded and, based on what he knew from his previous life, said, "The method of use is simple; it's just a blood oath."

"As for its function, I'm not entirely sure, since I've never used it."

"However, after the blood oath ceremony, we should be able to understand the function of this Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

"And it should also be a key to the succession of the Sea God's divine position!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then, he changed the subject again, asking, "Your Majesty, you know my true identity, so what do you think I should be careful about in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Yuan Changqing thought about this question. Judging from the original work, although Xue Qinghe, the fake crown prince, did a good job and was very successful in the early stages.

However, it wasn't without its flaws. But considering the competition for the throne, it was understandable. It was just a bit too hasty, which made Emperor Xue Ye have a lot of opinions about Xue Qinghe.

However, those things had already happened and could not be changed. In addition, in order to survive, Xue Beng, with the help of Xue Xing and through his planning, pretended to be a spoiled rich kid, and that's how he survived.

However, at the last moment, all efforts were in vain. This was the biggest mistake Xue Qinghe made: knowing that Tang San was an enemy, he still tried his best to win him over and let him develop. The result was self-evident.

Just when Xue Qinghe thought his plan had succeeded, Tang San, with his forces, turned the tables and killed Xue Qinghe, the fake crown prince. In the end, Xue Qinghe could only flee the Heaven Dou Empire and return to the Spirit Hall. It was truly a case of one careless move leading to total defeat.

Then Yuan Changqing said, "Do you know why I reminded you before that the Power Clan should serve under Tang Ming?"

Xue Qinghe replied, "Because Tang San is Tang Hao's son, and they have a grudge against the Spirit Hall, so you mean you want me to pay attention to this and find an opportunity to clip their wings."

Yuan Changqing continued, "You seem to understand these principles, but I also know a thing or two about what you're really thinking. Otherwise, do you think the recent events are just coincidences?"

What Yuan Changqing said made Xue Qinghe's face turn somewhat ugly, after all, his thoughts had been exposed.

Then, Yuan Changqing continued, "What do you think of your nominal younger brother and imperial uncle?"

Xue Qinghe replied, "If it's an avalanche, it's just a spoiled brat. Whether he's faking it or not is irrelevant."

"After all, with my current prestige in the empire, he can't threaten me. However, he is quite close to my royal uncle, Xue Xing."

"As for my royal uncle Xuexing, our relationship has never been very good, and I know why."

Judging from Xue Qinghe's words, there's a reason why Xue Qinghe survived the avalanche. Two princes have already died, and if another one were to die, Xue Qinghe's position as crown prince might be in jeopardy.

It seems that Xue Qinghe was also aware of the problem, which is why he left the avalanche to happen.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "It seems you've also noticed the problem. However, whether you can control the Tiandou Empire in the future depends on how many ministers in the court are inclined towards you, as well as those generals who hold heavy military power."

"Otherwise, even if you succeed in the end, you may end up with a divided empire."

"Also, you should pay more attention to your nominal younger brother and royal uncle. Although they don't control much power now, if something goes wrong in the end, they are the last hope for the Heaven Dou Empire to unite the people, and they are also the people most likely to be affected by unforeseen events. I hope you can keep this in mind."

After listening to Yuan Changqing's analysis, Xue Qinghe realized that his plan still had loopholes. People he had overlooked before might actually become stumbling blocks for him.

Xue Qinghe nodded and continued, "Your Majesty, is there anything else I should be aware of?"

Yuan Changqing continued, "I've said almost everything I wanted to say. After all, you've been the Crown Prince for so long, you should be the one who knows the situation of the Heavenly Dou Empire best, while I don't know it very well."

"Then you should consider how to quickly take control of the Heavenly Dou Empire once the plan begins."

After Yuan Changqing finished speaking, Xue Qinghe nodded and looked thoughtful.

Then, Yuan Changqing thought of another person, who was also a key figure in whether Xue Qinghe could successfully control the Tiandou Empire in the future.

Then Yuan Changqing said, "Qinghe, you should know Ge Long very well, right?"

Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "Ge Long, I naturally know him. He is a pillar of the Heavenly Dou Empire."

"Furthermore, his martial soul is Yazi, which is also a dragon-type martial soul, known as the 'Nine-Lives Divine Dragon,' making him a level 80 or higher power-attack type Battle Soul Douluo."

"He is also the number one person in the military of the Heaven Dou Empire, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, who holds a large number of troops and has a lot of influence in the Heaven Dou Empire."

Xue Qinghe's ability to readily provide information about Ge Long demonstrates that he is well-versed in the various factions in power within the Heavenly Dou Empire.

However, based on his own memory, Yuan Changqing's view of Ge Long was that Ge Long valued power and interests highly and was an ambitious person.

Furthermore, it's also possible that because his martial soul is Yazi, he is domineering and selfish in personality. Although his strength is only that of a Soul Douluo, Yazi is a true dragon, and its strength is very strong.

Therefore, judging from these points, Goron is not an easy person to control, and may even suffer a backlash.

Yuan Changqing then asked, "So, Qinghe, do you know anything about Ge Long?"

This question really stumped Xue Qinghe. As for whether he knew Ge Long or not, most of the information about him was already public knowledge.

However, when it comes to things he didn't know, Xue Qinghe really didn't know much about Ge Long's character.

Looking at Xue Qinghe's bewildered expression, Yuan Changqing knew that the information he had obtained was superficial and he had not delved into it.

Then Yuan Changqing said, "Judging from what you just said about Ge Long's status and strength in the Heaven Dou Empire, then his position in the Heaven Dou Empire's army is very high."

"If you can't subdue Golong, then he will become another stumbling block to your control of the Heaven Dou Empire. This is a problem you should consider."

"Furthermore, let me give you a hint: Goron is not someone who is easily subdued. Given his current position, who becomes emperor doesn't have a significant impact on him."

"So, if you have the chance, you'd better take care of Goron quickly and decisively."

"This is also your chance to get involved in the military in the future. Otherwise, with Goron around, it won't be so easy for you to get involved."

"Also, I think if you want to have good control over the Heaven Dou Empire, you should explain the situation to the Spirit Hall and send some experts over."

Xue Qinghe nodded. After Yuan Changqing's analysis today, he realized that his previous ideas were too presumptuous.

If things had gone according to plan, it might have actually caused the Heaven Dou Empire to split apart. Although it would have been wiped out by the Spirit Hall in the end, the losses would have been enormous.

Seeing this, Yuan Changqing felt that he had let Xue Qinghe know what he wanted to know, and that he had said what he needed to say, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.

So Yuan Changqing stood up and said, "Qinghe, think carefully about what I've said, or write back home to discuss it."

"Well then, since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe said, "Your Majesty, please stay a little longer. I would like to ask you many questions."

"I don't have that ability. I've said what I needed to say. You'll have to handle the rest yourself. I'll be leaving now." After saying that, Yuan Changqing left the Crown Prince's residence.
