Chapter 240

How could that be?

Just as Ao Yifan was examining the various marvelous uses of Time City, suddenly, a somewhat excited voice came.

What's wrong?

Seeing Hou Tu Niangniang somewhat flustered, Ao Yifan felt a bit surprised.

Hearing that, Hou Tu Niangniang looked at Xi He with a puzzled face, then glanced at Ao Yifan, and said: "Why is the effect with her so much worse? The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Law hasn't been fully perfected!"

"Hou Tu, you woman, you're crazy! So that's your plan!"

At this moment, Xi He, having reacted, looked at Hou Tu Niangniang with a face of shame and indignation.

"Where exactly did you hear that evil method? By this means, you seek to perfect your own Six Paths Reincarnation Way?"

Facing Xi He's questioning, Hou Tu Niangniang paid no heed; at this moment, her mind was filled with a big question mark.

According to her reasoning, there shouldn't be any problem.

After all, both A Cha and Meng Po have confirmed her theory.

And as Xi He is an ancient goddess, she should not have any problems.

"Exactly, where did the problem arise?"

Hou Tu Niangniang fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Ao Yifan, standing to the side, felt a bit guilty.

He roughly guessed the reason: to perfect Hou Tu Niangniang's Six Paths Reincarnation Way, it requires not only a woman to bear the great fortune of this Way, but also possibly that it be the first time she combines with Ao Yifan to conceive life.

As for Xi He, being the Solar Star Lord, the heavenly Dao fortune she carries is indeed sufficient.

However, what she is carrying now is not the first child of the two.

It is precisely because of this reason that the effect is so much worse.

However, Ao Yifan also finds it hard to speak of this matter.

"Forget it, this isn't my responsibility; it's Hou Tu herself who hasn't figured it out."

Ao Yifan thought that, and then prepared to put on his clothes and leave.

I have already done my utmost for Hou Tu Niangniang, contributing both person and effort; if problems arise, I won't take the blame.

"Wait!"

However, at this moment, Hou Tu Niangniang seemed not intending to let Ao Yifan go.

Before Ao Yifan could finish dressing, he felt a flash of a figure before his eyes.

"Milady, you…"

Ao Yifan's face showed astonishment, yet Hou Tu Niangniang gave him no chance to speak.

"Although I don't know where the problem lies, the Great Dao must be perfected; I know you're unwilling, but I still need to trouble you, fellow Daoist, to work hard."

"Filth…"

Beside them, the bound Xi He looked on at this scene with an expression of disbelief.

She felt that Hou Tu Niangniang might be crazy.

"Good grief, just after leaving seclusion, I encounter this crazy woman; what am I to do now?"

Xi He looked torn.

After all, regarding the matter of Huo Ling'er, I still haven't asked my sister clearly.

Now, the tiny life growing in her womb makes her even more at a loss.

……

"What is the situation now?"

Looking at the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk protected by two massive Dharma Aspects, Qing Feng and Ming Yue stared at each other, bewildered.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Ya Dao Ren was anxious beyond measure.

"Mother, you must not come to any harm! Now, only you can protect the child!"

However, no matter how anxious, Lu Ya Dao Ren lacked the courage to rush into the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk to rescue his mother.

After all, even his mother was trapped in those two Dharma Aspects; if he went in, he would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant.

"Interesting!"

Above the clouds, Tai Bai Jin Xing watched all this, a flash of strange color passing through his eyes.

Heaven has always sought to command the fortunes of the three realms, but the underworld's yin spirits are strong, making it difficult for Heaven to intervene.

At present, as one of the underworld's strongest leaders, Hou Tu Niangniang's actions clearly do not match the underworld's long-standing low-key style.

Tai Bai Jinxing also isn't sure whether this is the underworld's decision or Hou Tu Niangniang's personal decision.

However, Tai Bai Jinxing feels that this is a good opportunity for Heaven to intervene in underworld affairs.

「However, this matter might still require bothering our prince consort! 」

Tai Bai Jinxing thought.

……

「You did this on purpose, right? 」

Hou Tu Niangniang said, somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, twelve hours have already passed, and yet there's still no success.

She could clearly see that Xihe succeeded in just one hour.

Upon hearing this, Ao Yifan also felt a bit embarrassed; he couldn't explain to her that Xihe had a fertile constitution, while she might have been affected by staying too long in the underworld.

「This requires your cooperation; the success rate might be higher. Come, I'll teach you some new knowledge. 」

Ao Yifan said.

Hou Tu Niangniang silently nodded and immediately became an eager student.

Finally, Heaven did not betray the sincere; after another twelve hours, Hou Tu Niangniang finally succeeded.

At that moment, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk slowly turned, the diagram representing the Heavenly Dao also became radiant.

"Unexpectedly, she really succeeded!"

Beside her, Xihe wore an expression of disbelief.

Originally, she thought Hou Tu Niangniang had gone mad, but she never expected that the other party had actually perfected the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Law.

"This time, this woman is even harder to deal with."

Originally, Hou Tu Niangniang, who possessed perfected Human Path and Hell Path Reincarnation Laws, was already extremely powerful.

Now, the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Law has also been perfected; Xihe knows that she absolutely cannot be a match for her.

"Fellow Daoist, thank you for your hard work; Hou Tu will keep your kindness in mind."

Hou Tu Niangniang, having redressed herself, expressed her gratitude to Ao Yifan.

She clearly knows that this time she indeed imposed some undue hardship on him.

Having consecutively nurtured three lives, the drain on Ao Yifan was immense, giving rise to resentment, yet understandable.

In order to avoid creating a rift with Ao Yifan that would affect the subsequent plan to complete the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Hou Tu Niangniang tried to lower her posture as much as possible.

"Never mind!"

He waved his hand and said, "This matter is not your fault; after all, I initially promised to help you complete the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but you owe me a favor, so remember it—you'll have to repay it later."

"Yes, I remember!"

Hou Tu Niangniang nodded.

By completing the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she can then embark on the true path to sainthood.

However, like the Two Sages of the West, she has also incurred a great karmic debt.

However, the Two Sages of the West owe the Heavenly Dao, whereas she owes only Ao Yifan.

Compared to that, her situation is obviously much better.

At this moment, Ao Yifan also secretly rejoiced, for being able to make a quasi-saint owe him a favor is absolutely a tremendous boon.

After all, this quasi-saint is indeed a true quasi-saint, already possessing the foundation for sainthood, not comparable to those so-called quasi-saints.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk dispersed, allowing outsiders to see clearly what was inside once again.

However, the three individuals' expressions remained normal, and outsiders still did not know what exactly had happened inside.
