Chapter 159

Daji, rest assured, no matter what happens, I will protect you, and our child as well!

Sensing Daji's unease, Ao Yifan softly comforted her.

Yes, Prince Consort, I believe in you!

She gently nodded, Su Daji raised her head to look at Ao Yifan, her pair of big, watery eyes exuding a pitiful charm.

At this moment, Ao Yifan immediately understood what this girl was thinking……

You foolish girl, this man is deceiving you, truly stupid to death, sold out and still counting money for him!

Inside Daji, the primordial spirit of the nine-tailed fox spirit suppressed by Ao Yifan is now extremely anxious.

During this time, she has exhausted all means, just wanting to bewitch Su Daji to stand on her side.

After all, as long as Su Daji is willing to completely abandon her body, the nine-tailed fox spirit feels she can break through Ao Yifan's seal.

However, what makes the nine-tailed fox spirit somewhat desperate is that, no matter how she persuades, Su Daji seems not to hear, merely silently turning into a stone statue of a woman waiting for her husband.

……

Fellow junior brothers and sisters, today we gather to discuss the internal turmoil of the Yin Shang!

Jade Void Palace, White Jade Terrace, the Boundless Immortal once again opens the Twelve Golden Immortals Assembly.

Of course, the Twelve Golden Immortals now lack two members, so their names likely need to be changed as well.

Senior Brother, could the calamity have already begun?

Guang Chengzi frowned, then calculated with his fingers, saying: 'No, it's not yet time for the calamity to begin; where does this Yin Shang internal turmoil come from?'

The Twelve Golden Immortals are all awaiting the Apotheosis Calamity to temper their killing tribulations, so they are especially sensitive to the timing of the calamity's opening.

No, this Yin Shang internal turmoil does not involve the Apotheosis Calamity, but rather involves people from the Northern Sea Demon Court!

The Boundless Immortal shook his head.

Northern Sea Demon Court? Those who hide and scrape by, clinging to life?

The True Lord of the Pure Void and Morality scoffed: 'We haven't dealt with them merely because they pose no threat; could it be that, even now, they dare to stir up trouble again?'

It's not impossible either!

Just then, the Jade Cauldron True Person said: 'Last time, the Monster Hunting Team clashed with the Northern Sea Demon Court; my disciple Yang Jian even captured seven wild demons bewitched by the Northern Sea Demon Court, showing that the Northern Sea Demon Court's treacherous heart is not dead.'

Then, should we take action and give the Northern Sea Demon Court a lesson?

Red Essence Child said.

Indeed, we should give them a warning; the Apotheosis Calamity involves great matters and absolutely allows no mistake.

Ji Liu Sun said: 'Any force that could possibly affect our Orthodox Teaching's grand plan should be warned; Junior Sister Ci Hang, what do you think of this matter, Junior Sister Ci Hang?'

Ji Liu Sun's words instantly turned everyone's attention to the Compassionate Vessel Daoist.

Everyone suddenly noticed that the Compassionate Vessel Daoist's emotions seemed a bit off, which is highly abnormal for one whose cultivation has reached the Quasi-Sacred Realm.

Noticing the gazes directed at her, the Compassionate Vessel Daoist's eyes flickered slightly.

Her own problem truly leaves the Compassionate Vessel Daoist no spare attention.

After all, since the Three Corpses Body gave birth to Ao Yifan's child, her cultivation has faintly shown signs of surpassing her true self.

Moreover, because they jointly gave birth to Ao Yifan's child, the Three Corpses Body subconsciously stands on the same side; thus, for her true self alone to suppress the Three Corpses Body becomes exceedingly difficult.

Therefore, the Compassionate Vessel Daoist even secretly contacted the two saints of the Western Teaching.

However, the Compassionate Vessel Daoist also dare not openly state her own problem, merely vaguely inquiring about solutions to similar issues.

Yet even those two saints of the Western Teaching seem never to have encountered such a situation.

After all, the cultivation of the Three Corpses Body is controlled by the true self; under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to show signs of losing control.

But what the Compassionate Vessel Daoist faces is not a normal situation.

After all, who would have thought that her Three Corpses Body bearing a child for Ao Yifan would accelerate its cultivation speed so much?

If I also bore a child for that person, would my problem not be……

A terrifying thought suddenly sprang up in Cihang Daoist's mind, startling her greatly.

After all, she had personally witnessed those scenes.

Cihang Daoist could not imagine how terrifying a scene it would be to be manipulated in various ways by Ao Yifan.

Composing herself, Cihang Daoist looked around and said, "The North Sea Demon Court matter certainly warrants a warning, but I believe what our Chan Teaching most needs to do now is to speed up consolidating our strength!"

"This point, Junior Martial Sister Cihang, you need not worry!"

The Boundless Immortal Elder said with a smile.

As his wooden staff fell, in the next moment a large quantity of immortal pills appeared in the center of the white jade platform.

"With so many immortal pills, having these pills, the strength of our Chan Teaching disciples will advance even further!"

The Heavenly Venerable of the Dao said, "But how did Senior Martial Brother obtain so many immortal pills?"

"Martial Uncles, these immortal pills were produced by our Master fully opening the Heavenly Origin Cauldron; for this, Master's cultivation has been set back."

At this moment, the deer boy beside the Boundless Immortal Elder spoke up.

"Senior Martial Brother has exhausted himself for our Chan Teaching, achieving great merit through hard work!"

Master Guangcheng clasped his hands and said.

"The ordinary disciples' issue has been resolved, but the biggest problem now remains the two vacant positions among the Twelve Golden Immortals."

The Jade Cauldron True Person said.

"I have also considered this matter."

The Boundless Immortal Elder said with a smile, "Taiyi Junior Martial Brother has always been most favored by our Master; now he also undertakes the important task of nurturing the Spirit Pearl for our sect, so a position among the Twelve Golden Immortals should belong to Taiyi Junior Martial Brother."

"Taiyi Junior Martial Brother, excellent, he can occupy a place among the Twelve Golden Immortals!"

The True Lord of Pure Void and Morality stroked his whiskers and said, "However, how is the progress on nurturing the Spirit Pearl?"

"This..."

Wu Liang Xian Weng blinked slightly. He had indeed forgotten to ask about this matter. There was no helping it—Taiyi Zhenren had become completely enamored with the various fine liquors of Chen Tang Pass and hadn't returned to the Jade Void Palace in ages. So, Wu Liang Xian Weng also didn't know about his affairs.

Master, Taiyi Uncle's progress in cultivating the Spirit Pearl is quite promising; please, Master, don't worry.

At that moment, Hetong, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

"I see, then I can rest easy!"

Wu Liang Xian Weng nodded, still trusting Hetong's words.

After all, over these years, the Monster Hunting Team, under Hetong's leadership, has been thriving; otherwise, he couldn't have produced such a vast quantity of Immortal Pills.

"In that case, Hetong, go inform Taiyi Junior Brother to bring the Spirit Pearl back to the Jade Void Palace for a simple assessment; then we can admit him into the ranks of the Twelve Golden Immortals."

Wu Liang Xian Weng said.

"But even counting Taiyi Junior Brother, the Twelve Golden Immortals still have one vacancy."

Ju Liu Sun said.

"I have a proposal!"

"At that moment, Cihang Daoist suddenly said: 'I think, Hetong Nephew, over these years leading the Monster Hunting Team to repeatedly achieve great merits, based on his achievements, he too could be listed among the Twelve Golden Immortals.'"
