In charge of the Tower of Babel

Upon entering the heaven-reaching pagoda, Su Ming was immediately transported to a peculiar space.

This was no different from what other Cultivators experienced.

However, he heard a voice that other Cultivators could not.

"A direct Bloodline of the Su Family has entered the family trial tower. The current trialist is at the Longevity Realm Seventh Layer..."

It turned out that the so-called heaven-reaching pagoda's true name was the family trial tower.

From the looks of it, the Su Family might not be a small clan in the Outer Void.

His parents indeed had never mentioned their origins.

"Perhaps my parents' Family is also extraordinary, and they were only forced to leave to escape the pursuit of the Mandate of Heaven?"

While Su Ming was thinking, phantoms had already appeared around him.

Without exception, they all radiated the aura of the Longevity Realm Eighth Layer.

However, for Su Ming, these phantoms posed no real threat.

Since obtaining the 'chaos spirit transformation bottle', he had been using 'chaos spirit liquid' to temper his body.

His current Supreme Chaos Body had reached a whole new level.

Even if he were naked, it would be nearly impossible for a Longevity Realm attack to wound Su Ming.

A casual punch from Su Ming contained over a million jin of force; even Qin Kaiwu of the Nirvana Realm couldn't withstand a single blow from him, let alone these phantoms that were only at the Longevity Realm Eighth Layer.

Charging into the phantoms, Su Ming was as unstoppable as a lion among a flock of lambs.

Not a single phantom could survive a single strike from his fists.

Yet, despite Su Ming's slaughter, the number of phantoms around him did not decrease; instead, they continued to multiply.

"Just what I wanted!"

All this time, Su Ming had never encountered a qualified and decent opponent.

The endless stream of phantoms before him was the perfect chance to test where exactly his upper limit lay.

Inside the heaven-reaching pagoda, Su Ming became completely immersed in the battle.

The entire process lasted for a full hour.

He had already forgotten exactly how many phantoms he had destroyed.

By the time he came to his senses, the surroundings were empty.

"The challenger has passed the trial. Aptitude evaluation—Grade A, Top Tier..."

A beam of light instantly projected onto Su Ming, repairing his injuries.

However, with Su Ming's current strength, this hour of fierce fighting had only cost him a bit of physical stamina.

The greater significance of this light was to awaken the will left behind by his parents within him.

"My little Ming'er, Mother can finally see you again." Ling Xiao's lingering will successfully awakened.

"Mother, I have passed the trial of the heaven-reaching pagoda as you requested, and I have some good news to tell you."

Su Ming also informed Ling Xiao about his previous acquisition of the Chaos Dao Lord's Legacy.

"I didn't expect my child to obtain such a great Opportunity. It seems that damn Mandate of Heaven cannot completely control all living beings."

Ling Xiao's tone was filled with excitement and pride.

"But Mother, although Father told me the location of the Chaos Dao Lord's next Legacy site, I still don't know how to get there."

This was Su Ming's biggest headache; he knew the name Reincarnation Sword Realm, but the Outer Void was so vast that searching for a single place was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Don't worry about that, Xiao Die will take you there," Ling Xiao replied.

"Xiao Die?" Su Ming repeated the name. She was likely his Guardian in the Outer Void.

"She was adopted by your father and me a long time ago. The original purpose of adopting her was to have her be your bed-warming maid..."

Hearing this, Su Ming's mouth hung open in shock.

His own birth had taken a long time; didn't that mean this bed-warming maid was already over a thousand years old?

The image was too much; Su Ming didn't dare think any further.

"Of course, Xiao Die is indeed your bed-warming maid in name, but whether you can get her into your bed depends on your own ability."

Hearing this, Su Ming asked curiously, "Mother, what Realm is she in now?"

"Great Void Realm Peak."

This simple sentence caused the expression on Su Ming's face to freeze.

The bed-warming maid his parents found for him was far too fierce.

Below the Heavenly Dao Realm is the Chaos Realm, and below that is the Great Void Realm.

He truly couldn't handle a bed-warming maid of this level.

Noticing Su Ming's expression, Ling Xiao smiled slightly. "My son possesses the Supreme Chaos Body and the Innate Dao Bone. Do you still lack the confidence to win over a bed-warming maid?"

"It's not that, Mother. I already have a fiancée, and our relationship is quite good..."

"Are you talking about that Daughter of Heaven you have an engagement with? It doesn't matter. Mother won't restrict you from taking wives and concubines, as long as you can manage your harem and keep it from catching fire."

Hearing how open-minded his mother was, Su Ming was speechless.

To prevent the topic from going any deeper, Su Ming decisively changed the subject. "Mother, you said before that after completing the heaven-reaching pagoda's challenge, there would be corresponding resources for my cultivation. Where are those resources?"

"Don't worry, Mother will take them out for you now."

As Ling Xiao spoke, Su Ming was instantly transferred to another magnificent treasury.

"Ming'er, do you see the mark on the platform ahead? That is the control authority for the heaven-reaching pagoda. After your father brought it out back then, he modified it."

"Now, it is a Magical Artifact that serves both for defense and storage. When necessary, it can also be used as a Flying Boat."

Following Ling Xiao's introduction, Su Ming walked up to the mark in the center of the treasury.

Then, under Ling Xiao's control, the mark instantly merged into Su Ming's body.

"Of course, the greatest function of this mark is to help you conceal the fluctuations of the Innate Dao Bone."

"To tell you the truth, ever since we left you, we sealed your Innate Dao Bone. Because this thing is different from the Supreme Chaos Body which belongs only to you, your father and I worked together to Seal it to prevent you from being harmed."

"I hope you don't blame your father and me for taking this liberty."

Su Ming was also shocked to hear this, immediately thinking of the event in the original novel where the Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord's bone was gouged out.

"Mother, I understand the reason why you and Father did this. I don't blame you. But I am very curious about how strong I can become after the Innate Dao Bone is unsealed."

His cultivation was already so fast without the boost from the Innate Dao Bone; now that he had it, wouldn't he become even stronger?

"After it is unsealed, even the heavens will fear your talent."

It was precisely because of Su Ming's terrifying potential that the Mandate of Heaven had tried to prevent his birth.

This shows just how important the heaven-reaching pagoda left here is for Su Ming.

"Although the heaven-reaching pagoda is now in your hands, you still have to complete trials to get the resources inside. I don't want my child to be a waste who has the Realm but no actual combat experience."

"Now that you have obtained the Chaos Dao Lord's Legacy, it seems the day our Family reunites is not far off..." Having said that, Ling Xiao's will fell back into a deep slumber.

"Don't worry, Mother. I will not let you down."
