Chapter 147: Heaven-Reaching Tower

Parting always brings sorrow, but Su Daji also knew that Ao Yifan could not stay with her forever.

So she could only wait quietly in the imperial palace for Ao Yifan to come and reinforce the seal.

"Hmph, what's good about a man? If you simply give your body completely to me, I'll take you to immortality—wouldn't that be more carefree and joyful?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit's voice came.

"You don't understand!"

Over this time, she had grown accustomed to having an extra soul inside her, and Su Daji had become somewhat immune to the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit's words.

"I don't understand? I only know that you're pregnant with that person's child, and I have completely lost the chance to become immortal!"

Even now, the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit still remembers the promise given to her by the Nüwa Saint.

After all, as long as she completes the Nüwa Saint's task, she can become a disciple of the Saint, and then she can wander freely between heaven and earth without constantly worrying about her monster identity.

But all of this has now been destroyed.

Her belly already shows the pregnancy—how could she possibly continue using this body to bewitch Di Xin?

Even because of that person's seal, she cannot detach from Su Daji's body to seek a new host.

"I don't know, how are my two younger sisters doing now?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit unconsciously touched her slightly bulging belly, thinking inwardly: "I hope they can smoothly find suitable targets and complete our sisters' unfinished great undertaking!"

……

"Heaven-Reaching Tower, hmph, what a big tone!"

Looking at the massive tower under construction, Qiongxiao Fairy couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

To be honest, she had already been in Chentang Pass for a while.

However, because Ao Yifan's family went to Zhaoge City, she came up empty-handed.

However, Chentang Pass wasn't entirely boring, so Qiongxiao Fairy settled down there.

Anyway, his elder brother Zhao Gongming had money, so all expenses could be charged to the older brother.

Thus, during this time, Qiongxiao Fairy became somewhat reluctant to leave.

Until recently, Ao Yifan's family returned to Chentang Pass.

Having forgotten her purpose, Qiongxiao Fairy finally remembered why she had come.

Thus, after coming out of the comfortable East Sea Hot Springs, Qiongxiao Fairy immediately saw the Heaven-Reaching Tower under construction.

When she first heard the tower's name, Qiongxiao Fairy almost couldn't resist smashing it.

"How dare you not even avoid your master's name taboo! Today I want to see just what mysteries this tower holds!"

However, Qiongxiao Fairy ultimately restrained herself.

The next moment, Qiongxiao Fairy's eyes flashed with spiritual light, as if she wanted to see through the tower's reality.

Yet what Qiongxiao Fairy never expected was that her eyes could not see through this seemingly ordinary pavilion.

"How could this be? How could there be such a powerful restriction on this pavilion? What exactly is this?"

Qiongxiao Fairy's heart was shocked.

……

"Someone actually wants to spy on the Heaven-Reaching Tower—who is it?"

Ao Yifan immediately detected someone trying to spy on the Heaven-Reaching Tower; the next moment, under the Heavenly Eye, he instantly located the disguised Qiongxiao Fairy.

"It's actually her!"

He couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a smile.

However, Ao Yifan did not expose her identity, after all, as long as she didn't cause trouble in Chentang Pass, he wouldn't make things difficult for her.

After all, she is still the master of his family's daughter.

Moreover, Ao Yifan still has more important matters.

"This should be the place!"

The Heaven-Reaching Tower's main purpose is to communicate with Heaven.

Ao Yifan's goal is nothing else but the location of the Jade Pool.

And when Ao Yifan stepped onto the steps of the Heaven-Reaching Tower and ascended to the Jade Pool, he saw a shocking scene.

"This, I seem to have come at the wrong time?"

Ao Yifan thought: "No, I came at exactly the right time!"

……

"You deserve to die!"

When everything ended, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool glared at Ao Yifan with red eyes.

She could never have imagined that Ao Yifan would suddenly appear in the Jade Pool, especially at such a critical moment.

By the time the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool reacted, it was already too late.

"If I say I mistook the person, would you believe me?"

Ao Yifan said innocently.

"Get lost!"

With a fierce shout, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool waved her bare hand, and a huge force surged forward.

The next moment, Ao Yifan's whole body fell down from Heaven along the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Although a bit embarrassed, Ao Yifan still managed to steady his posture.

After tidying his somewhat disheveled clothes, Ao Yifan's face showed a hint of reminiscence.

"Just a little bit, just a little bit!"

Ao Yifan whispered: "However, the Jade Pool's attack just now didn't seem as strong as expected—is she reluctant to harm me, her son-in-law, or is her own strength merely this, or..."

Just then, Ao Yifan received a voice transmission.

The next moment, he flashed and disappeared from the Tongtian Pavilion.

"Prince Consort, you've finally returned—where were you just now?"

Lady Yin complained, "The army is already ready, just waiting for you to set out!"

"Just now, I was indeed delayed by some matters."

Ao Yifan smiled, his gaze sweeping over Princess Longji.

"Get ready to depart!"

He waved his hand, without any pre‑battle mobilization—this time it was utterly a one‑sided rout.

The three allied princes attacked as one, and besides, our side at Chentang Pass is strong in men and horses—how could we lose?

The army set out, with Ne Zha as the vanguard officer, and he even invited his good brother Ao Bing.

Right after them came Ao Yifan's children.

Over the years, Ao Yifan's children, though still young, each possess extraordinary talent.

After Ao Yifan's children came several princes; though their abilities were not as great as his children's, Ao Yifan also bestowed upon them many magical treasures, sufficient for dealing with ordinary folk—more than enough.

Of course, in this campaign Chentang Pass is merely a vanguard; the true main force lies elsewhere.

Because of this, Lady Yin was indeed filled with resentment.

After all, such a fine opportunity to show one's prowess, yet because they had to protect the crown prince, princes, queen, and noble consort, the Chentang Pass army ended up as a logistics unit—no wonder Lady Yin is angry.

As for this, Ao Yifan is indifferent; after all, he is now a favorite beside the King, needs no military accolades, and would rather enjoy himself while accompanying the army.

Upon a great flying carriage, Ao Yifan brought his women, attending to the queen and noble consort on either side.

Speaking of it, this flying carriage is warm in winter and cool in summer, equipped with a spatial formation, resembling a vast palace—truly the perfect treasure for home and travel.

Ao Yifan recalls that it seemed to have come from Princess Longji's person; now, with the army on the march, it comes in handy.

Of course, the children do not enjoy such treatment; they still need to follow the army forward, for after all, to grow quickly, tempering one's mind in harsh conditions is also excellent training.
