Chapter 315: Di Xin Knows!

Sage, also called Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal!

And this Primordial appellation comes from the Primordial Dao Fruit.

The Primordial Dao Fruit bears the power of the Great Dao; once unleashed, an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal will be directly severed from the Heavenly Dao, thus unable to draw even a shred of heavenly-earthly power, becoming a mere immortal who only possesses mana.

This is also the true reason why a Great Luo Golden Immortal has no power to resist before a Sage.

Only the power of the Great Dao can counter the power of the Great Dao.

The Primordial Dao Fruit is indeed the foundation of a Sage, and also the ultimate goal of countless cultivators.

"How could he possibly condense a Primordial Dao Fruit?"

Yunxiao Xianzi looked at Ao Yifan with utter disbelief.

After all, in Yunxiao Xianzi's mind, Ao Yifan lacked any aspiration toward the Dao, had not a trace of Dao rhythm, let alone condensing a Primordial Dao Fruit.

But the fact is, the purple fruit atop Ao Yifan's head is exactly like the Primordial Dao Fruit mentioned by his master in his teachings.

"But this Dao rhythm is truly too convoluted—what Dao is he actually cultivating?"

Yunxiao Xianzi harbored doubts, her eyes fixed tightly on Ao Yifan's Primordial Dao Fruit.

After all, such a close-up opportunity to observe a Primordial Dao Fruit is rare, and it would be of great benefit to her future condensation of the Great Dao's source.

"Alright, you've gotten what you wanted; can I leave now?"

Just then, Ao Yifan's voice came.

Hearing that, Yunxiao Xianzi felt helpless and could only rise from Ao Yifan's body.

She waved her hand, straightened her robes, and Yunxiao Xianzi said, "From now on, I'll come find you whenever I wish; I hope you won't refuse."

Saying that, the woman gave Ao Yifan a smug smile, turned, and flew away.

It was obvious that the woman intended to use this leverage to have Ao Yifan under her thumb.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Ao Yifan watched the direction in which Yunxiao Xianzi departed.

"Woman, you're too arrogant—that's not good either."

……

"Prince Consort, everything has been arranged; you're sure that Su Zhi will ultimately pass the throne of the Great King to Jiao'er, right?"

In Chaoge City, Di Xin looked at the suddenly appearing Ao Yifan and asked.

Yin Jiao's betrayal was something Ao Yifan and Di Xin had planned beforehand.

Because this is the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao; Ao Yifan lacks the ability to overturn the Heavenly Dao, so he can only go along with it.

However, within this, Ao Yifan made a slight modification.

That is, letting Lady Yin-led Chen Tang Pass replace West Qi's position in the rebel army.

Thus, even if the rebel army can successfully overthrow the Yin-Shang rule, the supreme authority remains in Lady Yin's hands.

By then, who will become the new Great King is simply a matter of Lady Yin's word.

According to the plan discussed by Ao Yifan and Di Xin, it was to have Yin Jiao join the Chen Tang Pass army.

After the rebel army overthrows Di Xin's rule, Lady Yin will then promote Yin Jiao to establish a new Great Shang.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao's arrangement is fulfilled, yet the supreme authority of the Great Shang smoothly returns to Yin Jiao's hands.

However, as his body grew ever weaker, Di Xin felt that his days were numbered, so he began to worry whether Yin Jiao could smoothly inherit the supreme authority.

There's nothing to be done; Lady Yin's current strength is too great, and she also has her own children.

If Lady Yin were to have a change of heart at this time, Di Xin would also have no recourse.

"Great King, rest assured!"

Ao Yifan smiled and said, "Jiao'er will be the king of the Great Shang; that will never change. After all, we have no real interest in the throne."

"Mm."

Hearing that, Di Xin also breathed a sigh of relief; then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "Right, you haven't come by in a while—go visit the Queen."

Ao Yifan blinked slightly, glanced at Di Xin, saw his expression was normal, and then didn't say anything more.

After Ao Yifan left, the dim yellow candlelight illuminated Di Xin's already aged face.

"Forget it—at least Jiao'er is nominally still my child!"

……

"Queen, the Great King seems to have learned something."

Ao Yifan embraced Queen Jiang and Consort Huang, then suddenly spoke.

"This, he should have known this long ago."

Queen Jiang hesitated and said.

"Huh?"

Ao Yifan blinked slightly and said, "You mean he's known this all along? Then Yin Jiao and the others……"

"They should have known too!"

Queen Jiang leaned against Ao Yifan's chest and said, "However, he should have also accepted it, after all, in his heart, whether the Great Shang can continue its lineage is what matters most; now, only you can help him change the fate of the Yin-Shang's downfall."

"Like that!"

Ao Yifan nodded and said, "Indeed, without my help, the Great Shang would certainly be replaced; speaking of which, he ought to thank us."

"You're the worst!"

Queen Jiang patted Ao Yifan and said, "Then what about my older sister's side—when are you planning to deal with it?"

"Xi He? Is she still hiding in the Sun Star Palace and refusing to come out?"

Ao Yifan rubbed his brow and said.

"Yes!"

Queen Jiang said, "Moreover, this time she changed the door lock—I can't even get in."

Regarding this, Queen Jiang also felt helpless.

After learning the truth, Xihe took Huo Ling'er and the child in her womb and hid once more in the Sun Star Palace.

Even, to avoid being disturbed again, after returning she replaced the lock on the Sun Star Palace's door.

Fine, I'll drop by when I have time—I haven't seen that little rascal Huo Ling'er in a while.

Ao Yifan said this, then rose under the attentions of Queen Jiang and Consort Huang.

There's no helping it—I still need to visit Daji, or else that little lass will start overthinking.

……

Prince Consort, you've finally come to see me!

Seeing Ao Yifan, Daji excitedly threw herself into his arms.

Behind Daji stood a little girl clutching a white little fox.

Daddy!

The little girl called out in a babyish voice, stretching her little arms, also wanting Ao Yifan to pick her up.

He scooped up the little girl, glanced at the little fox in her arms, and Ao Yifan smiled, asking, "How is it? Has this little fox spirit been behaving lately?"

Hearing this, Su Daji smiled and said, "She's been fairly obedient lately—after all, she's no longer a match for me."

The little fox also drooped its ears—after all, she never expected that the merely mortal Su Daji would become an immortal right after giving birth.

The immortal's primordial spirit, together with the seal Ao Yifan set, left the nine-tailed fox spirit completely unable to resist.

All right, be good—after the tribulation, I'll give you an opportunity.

Ao Yifan's words caused the nine-tailed fox spirit's formerly drooping ears to perk up again.

She has now resigned herself to fate—before Ao Yifan, she can do nothing.

Yet the nine-tailed fox spirit is also curious—what exactly is this opportunity he spoke of?
