Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 188 Gu He, Dou Di! Dan Di!How powerful a Dou Di could be, Gu He could not yet imagine.

But he was very clear about one fact: without the emperor pill embryo, it was impossible to become a Dou Di.

He did not know the specific reason, but it was likely due to the Spiritual Qi and fortune of the Fighting Qi Continent.

Steadying his mind, Gu He walked towards the inner hall.

What was inside there was the real prize!!

Before long, Gu He crossed the Exotic Fire Plaza and arrived at the inner hall.

The visual impact the inner hall brought to Gu He was even stronger than the outside.

The stone hall was carved with many mysterious patterns, and an ancient Aura rushed towards him. In its center stood a tall stone statue of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor; the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s face lacked any color, yet it allowed one to feel his majesty at a single glance.

Gu He looked around, vaguely feeling a strange sensation, and even a faint sense of familiarity:

Could it be because of the Dou Di Bloodline rewarded by the System?

The Dou Di Bloodline had been upgraded later, and it seemed to have some connection with this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

Could it be... that he had to call the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor ’Dad’??

This absurd thought surfaced in Gu He’s mind.

”System, what is my relationship with the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor?”

[No relationship.]

[The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s true form is an Exotic Fire; he has no Bloodline descendants.]

[Of course, it cannot be ruled out that outsiders might misunderstand just like the host.]

Oh...

That means his Dou Di Bloodline doesn’t actually have much to do with the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor?

The System had just rewarded him with a replica version!

It was just quite misleading; he had almost thought he had become the son of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

[Ding! Detected that the host has a Legacy reward!]

”Legacy reward?” Gu He was puzzled.

[Ding! Reward being distributed... Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Pill Transformation Divine Technique distributed successfully!]

In an instant, Gu He’s mind was filled with a vast amount of knowledge, all concerning how to execute the Pill Transformation Divine Technique and how to form the hand Seals.

The best tool to execute the Pill Transformation Divine Technique was the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, which he happened to have; it really was effortless to obtain!

Just as Gu He’s thoughts were drifting, a loud voice rang out, echoing far and wide in the great hall.

”Hehe...”

”How many years has it been... finally, someone has entered here.”

The aged and loud voice continued: ”Let me see who it is...”

In front of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s stone statue before Gu He, an old man wearing plain robes appeared. The old man had hair of various colors and an ordinary appearance, but... he looked exactly like the stone statue!

Is this the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor?

Gu He looked at the old man.

The old man’s hair displayed several colors, each one looking as if it were a rising flame, quite marvelous.

He looked ordinary, with no memorable features if he were to blend into a crowd, but his eyes were as deep as the starry sky.

”I am Gu He,” Gu He said his name indifferently.

The old man exuded an Aura that transcended the heavens and earth. He easily sensed Gu He’s cultivation level. Gu He was an Eight Star Dou Sheng, had not promoted long ago, and had come alone, which made the old man even more curious. Thus, he appeared before Gu He in an instant to examine him carefully.

”You...” The old man sensed some Aura on Gu He and his Origin, hesitating for a moment.

Gu He had already raised his eyes to look straight at the old man, without the slightest fear:

”I know you are the emperor pill embryo; I came here this time to obtain you.”

”Stop pretending to be the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor to deceive people.”

An Eighth Grade Pill can transform into a small beast, while the highest grade Dou Di Medicinal Pill can transform into human form.

The old man was stunned by Gu He’s blunt words, but then he realized that this was the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode, which should be his, the emperor pill embryo’s, home turf.

”Hehe...”

”I was wondering earlier why you had the Aura of that old guy, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, on you. Since you want to obtain me, then let’s fight directly!”

”You greedy humans... aren’t you just trying every possible way to obtain me and become a Dou Di?”

Gu He smiled indifferently: ”Don’t you want to go out? I have opened the Seal of the Immortal Cave; you only need to kill me to get out. If you can’t kill me, then just wait for death.”

”Hehehe—”

”A mere Eight Star Dou Sheng brat, daring to be so arrogant in front of me??”

The emperor pill embryo unleashed a monstrous Aura, and a huge palm print struck down fiercely at Gu He.

Gu He had already taken out the Crimson Sky Sword,

”Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!”

The Heaven Rank Dou Skill was activated, and the emperor pill embryo’s lair emitted a strange light; a sword formation had already been set up underneath!!

Domain blockade successful.

Countless red sharp swords pierced through the emperor pill embryo’s large palm attack, and his offensive was instantly neutralized!

And after that, Gu He’s body was like a sword, moving with the wind.

Yamas Judgment!

Gu He was the tireless sword weapon!

The flame, with thirty-six colors fused together, emitted an extremely pure white light; the sword blade shone with white light, and the torch cleared the way!

The emperor pill embryo’s old face changed color.

What is this? What the hell?

This person has a Dou Di Bloodline? He also carries Dragon Qi? He actually has nearly thirty kinds of Exotic Fire? What exactly is the Dou Technique he is using?

The emperor pill embryo felt a sudden sense of irritability; it seemed that something was different from what he had thought?

It hasn’t been out for a thousand years; has the Fighting Qi Continent changed a thousand times?

”Heh! Don’t think that just because you are weird, you can beat me!”

”I at least have the strength of a Dou Di! Even if two Nine-Star Dou Sheng stood in front of me, I could kill them in three moves!”

”Talking too much is useless and will only lead to your own downfall; take this.” Gu He swung his sword and charged up.

The emperor pill embryo formed hand Seals with his large palms, and then a ball of light emerged. The surrounding energy was sucked into this ball of light and exploded one after another,

The scene suddenly became like a boiling pot of oil, with flames exploding everywhere; in an instant, a sea of fire filled the area around the emperor pill embryo.

With a single thought, the emperor pill embryo opened his eyes,

”Emperor Pill Palm!”

All the flames scrambled to drill into his palms, and then he swung them out like cannonballs!

A huge palm print, carrying the pressure of a Dou Di, crushed directly towards Gu He.

And Gu He, holding his sword, slashed upwards.

At this moment, court opened, start!

The entire area under the full moon was filled with blood-red color!

”Void Breaking Slash!”

The red sword body, carrying a dazzling white light, slashed fiercely onto the large palm, and the surrounding air trembled violently without stopping.

”Boom!!!”

The emperor pill embryo was actually unable to withstand it and retreated several steps in a single breath.

The aftermath of Gu He’s attack was simply too strong! This man’s strength exceeded the emperor pill embryo’s imagination!

The emperor pill embryo’s mouth twitched, no longer as calm as before, but he still laughed loudly:

”Heh, so what if you beat me for a moment? As long as I never turn back into a Medicinal Pill, you will never be able to obtain the emperor pill embryo and promote to Dou Di!”

”Who says only you can turn back into a Medicinal Pill if you want to? I can just beat you back into one!” Gu He said indifferently.

A Medicinal Pill daring to be arrogant in front of him?

”How is that possible!” The emperor pill embryo blurted out.

The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor who could subdue him had long been dead!

He was an almost invincible existence in this world!

”Swish!”

Gu He took out the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. A figure in black robes drifted out from the jade talisman. The figure was faint and of ordinary appearance, but those eyes were just as bright as the stars... even brighter than the emperor pill embryo opposite him!

The jade talisman floated in the air, and Gu He had already quickly formed hand Seals in his hands.

And the hands of the black-robed figure in the air also moved; the sequence of their hand Seals was exactly the same!

”Hum!”

Within just two breaths, nearly thirty kinds of Exotic Fire inside Gu He’s body instantly surged out, and then turned into beautiful rings of light in the air.

The rings of light presented multiple colors, and it seemed as if flames were dancing on them, which was extremely wondrous.

”This... is actually... Pill Transformation Ring?! This is impossible!!” The emperor pill embryo frowned tightly and shouted.

He was full of disbelief: ”This is clearly the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s move! He is already dead!!”

”How do you know this move!”

The emperor pill embryo now felt like a fish on a cold chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

Gu He glanced at the emperor pill embryo: ”You talk too much.”

Seals stopped, light flashed, Pill Transformation Divine Technique, out!

Gu He flicked his palm, and the gorgeous light rings flew out. In an instant, they appeared above the emperor pill embryo’s head, and the gorgeous fire rings completely wrapped around the emperor pill embryo’s figure.

”Ah!”

Wisps of white smoke overflowed from the emperor pill embryo’s body, and the shrill screams shook the heavens and split the earth.

Before long, the emperor pill embryo turned back into the appearance of a Medicinal Pill.

The emperor pill embryo was very strong and could exert the power of a Dou Di for a few moments, but under Gu He’s Bloodthirsty Divine Path and the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Pill Transformation Divine Technique, it was nothing at all.

Gu He put away the emperor pill embryo and did not rush to go out, but walked slowly towards the tall stone statue of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

If Gu He remembered correctly, inside this stone statue was the Origin of the Emperor left behind by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

With this trace of Origin plus the emperor pill embryo, Gu He could promote to Dou Di.

And the Origin of the Emperor could be considered the Legacy of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. If Gu He obtained it, plus the Dou Di Bloodline rewarded by the System...

Then he would really not be far from Dou Di!

Gu He raised his hand and flicked lightly; the white Exotic Fire turned into a beam of flame, which shot straight at the heart position of the stone statue.

”Hum hum!”

This stone statue, protected by the Origin of the Emperor, made a loud noise.

Accompanying the hit of Gu He’s flame beam, strange fluctuations rippled across the surface of the ten-thousand-foot-tall stone statue.

”Hum!”

The fluctuations spread out like ripples, and a huge pressure crushed directly down towards Gu He.

But Gu He was extremely calm; he inserted the Crimson Sky Sword into the ground, cracking the hard stone tile floor into several fissures, yet Gu He’s figure remained motionless.

The suppression of a Dou Di Expert? Nothing special!

In the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, this monstrous pressure finally weakened, and a huge ball of light enveloped Gu He.

The Origin of the Emperor chose Gu He!!

The Dou Di Bloodline rewarded by the System successfully made the Origin of the Emperor feel a sense of closeness.

Gu He bathed in the huge ball of light, and the vast energy poured down like a curtain of light; Gu He felt the improvement of his body and Soul.

At the beginning of the birth of every plane space, there was the birth of Source Qi, but this Source Qi could not be regenerated, which meant that for every bit of Source Qi consumed, it would disappear from the heavens and earth. Nowadays, the Fighting Qi Continent no longer had Source Qi, so this trace of the Origin of the Emperor was extremely precious.

[System detected the energy of the Origin of the Emperor; does the host wish to absorb it?]

”Absorb!”

[Congratulations to the host for successfully absorbing it!]

[Congratulations to the host for promoting to Nine-Star Dou Sheng!]

[Congratulations to the host for promoting to Peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng!]

”Hoo—”

Gu He, who had successfully promoted, let out a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, he took out the emperor pill embryo, preparing to promote to Dou Di.

After all—even Hun Tiandi would not have thought that he, Gu He, would be so many steps ahead of him and promote to Dou Di, right?

In order to step into the Dou Di level, Hun Tiandi had killed countless living beings and clansmen; had he ever thought that someone from a small country like Jia Ma would easily reach Dou Di?

Gu He sat cross-legged and began to refine and fuse the emperor pill embryo.

”If the heart is like a rock, then one can be immortal!” This sentence flashed through Gu He’s Soul.

Body reborn! Soul reforged!

Gu He endured the intense pain, knowing that victory was just ahead!

The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode was built in the Void Realm under the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, and the flow of time was different from the outside world. Gu He spent three whole months refining the emperor pill embryo inside, while only three days had passed in the outside world.

”Boom!!”

A monstrously huge Aura burst out, and the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode instantly shattered into mud!!

Gu He, wearing black robes and a piece of ancient jade at his waist, floated out!

His ink-black long hair was tied in a white jade hair crown, and his face was gentle but did not lack dominance.

Dou Di Aura, out!!

In an instant, the small Black-Corner Region was filled with brilliant golden light, and the distant Central Plains were shocked!

Everyone looked towards this northwest direction; the Dou Di, who had not appeared for a thousand years, had actually been born in a corner of the northwest!!

”Gu He! You really succeeded!!” Yun Yun flew over excitedly and said happily.

Medusa and Zi Yan were also present. Medusa lifted her face, which carried an arrogant expression, and there was a hint of pride between her brows.

”I knew you could do it.”

With a thought from Medusa, their children came out from the mustard seed space.

Because Gu He had become a Dou Di, the Bloodlines of Little Gu He and Gu Tongtong had also been correspondingly improved, and they were now Dou Zun Experts.

They were only children and already had Dou Zun strength; one could imagine how powerful they would be in the future!

”Gu He, hold Tongtong; she has recently learned to call ’Daddy’,” Medusa said softly, with maternal tenderness between her brows.

”Okay.” Gu He took the child, his expression gentle.

Even if he became a Dou Di, he was still a father.

The blue sky was still filled with vast golden light, and this brilliant golden light bathed the few people; looking from afar, it was like a beautiful picture.

...

On the other side, the Hun Clan’s Hun Tiandi was arranging for his subordinates to hunt down people from the Medicine Clan and the Gu Clan.

Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something; his figure moved and he flew out of the great hall, looking at the golden light all over the sky, his expression froze, and his face was as cold and gloomy as a ghost:

”Someone actually reached Dou Di a step before me?!”

”How is it possible? Who exactly is it?!”

He unleashed his full Aura, and his subordinates were knocked flying dozens of meters away.

”The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is clearly still in the hands of several major Families; are there other resources on the continent that can become a Dou Di?” Hun Tiandi could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

”Find! Find this person for me!” Hun Tiandi issued the order, and then he himself tore open a Void Realm towards the direction where the golden light was most intense and flashed inside.

He would not allow anyone to become a Dou Di a step before him! He must grind that person to dust!!
