Chapter 233: Setting Out for the Star Dou, Du Gu Yan Makes a Move

Gu Xuan directly brought Xue Ke back to the imperial palace; at this time Gu Rong had not yet left, and Gu Xuan directly told his idea to the Snow Night Great Emperor.

After hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Snow Night Great Emperor directly waved his hand and agreed.

He is not a stubborn person; moreover, Gu Xuan is naturally gifted, so if Xue Ke cultivates together with Gu Xuan, her future progress will naturally be much faster.

After all, Xue Ke is his daughter; if Xue Ke becomes strong in the future, it will also be good for her.

After confirming Xue Ke's matter, Gu Xuan then brought Xue Ke to find Du Gu Yan and the others, leaving Gu Rong and the Snow Night Great Emperor to chat.

Regarding this, the Snow Night Great Emperor also said nothing; after all, it's good for young people to enhance their feelings.

Du Gu Yan and the others were resting at the hotel; seeing Gu Xuan return, they all happily went to greet him, and then they saw Xue Ke following behind him.

Du Gu Yan, Li Li, and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xue Ke; they had never seen this girl before, and they had to admit that her looks and figure were quite impressive.

Moreover, if it weren't for that, Gu Xuan probably wouldn't have chosen to marry into the imperial family; after all, that little lecher of Gu Xuan is a looks-obsessed person!

Along the way, Gu Xuan had already introduced Xue Ke to Du Gu Yan and the others; now seeing them in person, Xue Ke recognized them right away.

"Big sister, third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, I am Xue Ke, the seventh fiancée of Brother Gu Xuan," Xue Ke said timidly.

Upon hearing Xue Ke's self-introduction, the three women were slightly taken aback, then looked at Gu Xuan with unfriendly eyes.

Gu Xuan chuckled and then said lightly: "Yanzi, Rongrong, Li Li, Zhu Qing, from now on we're all family, don't look at me like that."

Although the four women led by Du Gu Yan were helpless that Gu Xuan directly brought Xue Ke as well, they also did not give Xue Ke any trouble.

Du Gu Yan smiled and said: "Come in and have a seat."

Then the four women chatted with Xue Ke; since they were all Gu Xuan's women, there was nothing else going on, and they quickly became acquainted.

Then Gu Xuan took Xue Ke to another room and gave her the Radiant Universal Illumination Pill.

After she absorbs the pill, breaking through to level forty is no problem; then Gu Xuan directly brought her to obtain the fourth soul ring together.

While Xue Ke was absorbing the pill, Gu Xuan returned to the room where the four women led by Du Gu Yan were, smiled slightly at them and said: "Rest assured, I told you about this matter with Xue Ke earlier; I guarantee there will be no other girls from now on."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's guarantee, the four women unanimously rolled their eyes; unless the sun rises in the west, Gu Xuan this shameless thing will definitely not refuse anyone.

Fortunately, in Gu Xuan's later cultivation plan, Du Gu Yan will accompany him; with someone watching, Gu Xuan won't be able to get close to the little girl.

After half an hour, the door was knocked; Gu Xuan rose from Du Gu Yan's embrace, opened the door, and Xue Ke stood at the doorway, face full of excitement.

Upon seeing Gu Xuan, Xue Ke rushed into his embrace: "Brother Gu Xuan, thank you; because of this pill, my soul power has broken through to level forty!"

Xue Ke is not yet sixteen, yet her soul power is already level forty; this talent can be called extraordinarily heaven-defying, so how could she not be excited?

Gu Xuan didn't dare hold Xue Ke for too long, after all there were four pairs of eyes watching behind; they pulled Gu Xuan out of her embrace, Gu Xuan rubbed her little head and softly said: "Don't be proud; your big sister is already level sixty, the third, fourth, and fifth sisters are also level fifty, and their ages are similar to yours, so you need to work harder to catch up with them."

Hearing this, Xue Ke was slightly surprised; although she had long guessed that Gu Xuan's fiancées were not only beautiful as flowers but also naturally gifted, she never imagined their talent would be this terrifying!

Xue Ke nodded seriously and replied: "I will train hard; I will definitely not fall behind the sisters!"

Gu Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then brought Xue Ke to sit on the sofa, and said: "We'll rest tonight; tomorrow morning we will set out for the Star Dou Great Forest."

The five women nodded seriously, then Gu Xuan began cultivating on his own on the sofa.

There's no way; facing five fiancées, Xue Ke has just started interacting and feels shy about being too proactive, but the other four are different—they could completely consume Gu Xuan.

Don't look at Zhu Zhuqing being shy in front of outsiders; but when she's with Gu Xuan and them, she's just as proactive, because if she weren't proactive enough, the opportunity would be snatched by others.

The next day, Gu Xuan directly set off with the five women toward the Star Dou Great Forest, with no delays along the way.

The reason we go to the Star Dou Great Forest instead of the nearer Sunset Forest is that when Du Gu Yan and the others needed to break through their current level, Gu Xuan had sent people to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for suitable soul rings for them.

Now, aside from Xue Ke, Gu Xuan has already determined the positions of the soul rings for the three women led by Du Gu Yan; all that's left is to go hunt them.

Ning Rongrong does not need to obtain a soul ring; she is just following along to learn how to use the Vast Sea Cosmos Shield from Gu Xuan.

We are about to head to Sea God Island; she needs to quickly become familiar with the Vast Sea Cosmos Shield.

And the reason we didn't bring the soul beasts back is that even though Zhu Zhuqing and Li Li have both broken through to level fifty, and they both absorb soul rings beyond their level, capturing them would consume too much manpower and material resources, making it unnecessary.

After all, if Du Gu Yan and the others go themselves, they can not only gain experience on the way, but also have a chance to try to kill the beasts themselves, which also serves as training.

Setting out from Heaven Fighting City, the group only spent half a month on the road before reaching their destination.

Along the way, Gu Xuan personally handed over the abilities of the Vast Sea Cosmos Shield to Ning Rongrong, who was quickly becoming familiar with it.

Upon reaching the Star Dou Great Forest, the first soul beast they planned to hunt was a 43,000-year-old Purple Abyss Snake King, which is the sixth soul ring chosen for Du Gu Yan.

Because they had a map, after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, it only took three days for Gu Xuan to locate the Purple Abyss Snake King's movements, and then he led the five women to go hunt it.

With Gu Xuan's current strength and his powerful spatial ability, as long as they don't encounter a 100,000-year soul beast, bringing the five women away safely is no problem.

Even if they encounter a 100,000-year soul beast, Gu Xuan can still bring them to escape; after all, the second soul skill of his sixth soul ring is not just empty talk.

Gu Xuan led the five women to a valley deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, locked onto the Purple Abyss Snake King, and then Du Gu Yan went up alone.

Gu Xuan temporarily does not plan to intervene, because he wants to see how Du Gu Yan's current ability will actually perform.

Du Gu Yan also had no pretensions; she directly charged alone at the Purple Abyss Snake King.

Gu Xuan brought Ning Rongrong, Li Li, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xue Ke to watch Du Gu Yan's actions from high above.

After entering the valley, Du Gu Yan directly released her martial soul.

Only see her body surface with two yellow, one purple, and two black five soul rings rising; a pair of straight-as-jade long legs transformed into a snake tail, as if she had become an exotic snake woman, adding further to her allure and charm.

Inside this valley, there are not only the Purple Abyss Snake King but also its countless offspring, numbering in the hundreds; besides the Purple Abyss Snake King, there are only three mother snakes whose age barely reaches the ten-thousand-year level.

And as Du Gu Yan released her martial soul, the aura she emitted actually directly suppressed all the snakes, causing them to lie prostrate on the ground, not daring to move; even those three mother snakes that had barely surpassed the ten-thousand-year level were no exception.

This is the dominance of the Ancestral Martial Soul, which exerts absolute suppression over the possessors of snake-type martial souls and snake-type soul beasts.

Facing Du Gu Yan with her aura fully unleashed, at this moment only the Purple Abyss Snake King is still struggling to hold on, because it knows Du Gu Yan has come to harvest its soul ring.

Feeling this pressure, as if coming from the ancestor of all snakes, the Purple Abyss Snake King's combat power has greatly decreased.

However, Du Gu Yan naturally would not hold back; after approaching the Purple Abyss Snake King, she directly launched an attack.

The Purple Abyss Snake is also a poisonous snake-type soul beast, and the Purple Abyss Snake King's poison is even more terrifying, so Du Gu Yan had no intention of using poison to attack the Purple Abyss Snake King.

Only see the first yellow soul ring on Du Gu Yan's body surface light up directly.

After consuming the Lovesickness Broken Heart Red, her soul skills underwent corresponding changes.

Now Du Gu Yan's first soul skill is named Serpent Spirit Source; this soul skill itself does not possess strong toxicity, but if someone else inhales it, Du Gu Yan can then draw upon the toxin that has entered the other person's body to drain their life force.

And the life force that is drawn out, Du Gu Yan can use it to restore themselves, and can also use it to heal others.

After the Purple Mist Snake King inhaled the poisonous mist, it discovered that the toxin of this poison from Du Gu Yan was actually less than one-tenth of its own deadly poison, and immediately it had the thought of resistance.
