150: Chapter 150 My Dao Companion is Actually the Will of an Ultimate Saint?

The next morning.

Cao Yang and Ouyang Liuli first went to find Ouyang Yuli.

The three of them then joined Fourth Senior Sister Fu Xiaoya, Fifth Senior Sister Xiao Lingxue, and Hu Shan Tutu to look for a prime location.

Cao Yang and the five women finally decided to settle their families in the inner city of Xuanyang City, a hundred million li away from the Xuanyang City Lord's Manor—the former site of Black City.

Since Immortal Lord Feng Lei and the others had relocated everyone in Black City earlier, it was currently empty.

Located in the inner city and close to the Xuanyang City Lord's Manor, Black City was empty and perfectly suited for the clan members from the Tianxuan Realm who had low cultivation bases.

After settling them in, Cao Yang had the women call over the high-level members of their families, such as the Elders, along with their relatives.

Cao Yang gave each of them a first-rotation golden pill, allowing their cultivation base to Breakthrough to the Peak Earth Immortal Realm.

He then sent the Elders to look after their clansmen and kept only the Clan Chiefs and the women's parents. He spent 5 million years of cultivation base to raise their cultivation to the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm.

He also left each clan a Peak True God Puppet as a clan-protecting treasure, along with some cultivation resources.

After all, this was a trivial matter for the current Cao Yang. If their clans didn't have the power to protect themselves in the Immortal Realm, the women wouldn't be able to Cultivate in peace.

Having finished this, he returned to Xuanyang City with the five women.

The five women were both satisfied and grateful for Cao Yang's arrangements for their clans. Especially Hu Shan Tutu; she had originally become his woman under threat, but she never imagined this would be an Opportunity not just for her, but for the fox clan as well.

Now, her memories of her past life had also undergone Awakening. It turned out she was the Reincarnation of a wisp of a Saint's Will from the Nine-Tailed Ancestral Fox of the Saint Realm. The Nine-Tailed Ancestral Fox was one of the few Extreme Dao Saints in the Saint Realm.

Her mission was to comprehend the Dao through Reincarnation. Once she broke through to become an Extreme Dao Saint, both she and the Dao she comprehended would merge back into the main body. At that moment, she would die completely, becoming a stepping stone for the Nine-Tailed Ancestral Fox to break through as an Extreme Dao Saint and reach that legendary Realm. There were thousands of wisps of Saint's Will like hers scattered throughout the myriad Realms by the Nine-Tailed Ancestral Fox.

The fate of these wisps of Saint's Will was predetermined; their destinies were as tragic as they were glorious.

They had a ten percent chance of reaching the Peak Extreme Dao Saint Realm of the worldly Dao. However, once they broke through to become an Extreme Dao Saint, they would merely become someone else's stepping stone and die a tragic death.

Once they stepped into the God Realm, their memories would undergo Awakening. Simultaneously, they would have no choice but to keep moving forward. If they ever thought of stopping their Cultivation or committing suicide, a grand voice from deep within their consciousness would tell them that doing so would lead to an even more miserable death, and that only by completing their mission would there be a chance of survival.

Although they couldn't resist, they knew this was a lie; they would all eventually die.

Thus, they would consciously or unconsciously seek ways to save themselves. Though they were interrupted every time by that voice deep within their consciousness, they hadn't gained nothing over the endless ages.

Hu Shan Tutu's previous life had come up with a method: find someone with a higher cultivation base, provoke them into killing her, and secretly preserve her true spirit for Reincarnation. Clearly, her idea was correct, though it was uncertain if she could keep reincarnating this way. However, her first Reincarnation had been a success.

When Hu Shan Tutu broke through to the Pseudo-God Realm, her past life memories underwent Awakening. She hadn't told Cao Yang because she felt it would be useless; her end would be the same. The method Cao Yang used to make their cultivation base Breakthrough instantly was something a First-Tribulation Saint or any true Saint above that level could do through various means.

Therefore, she didn't want to add to Cao Yang's worries and grief, until she saw that he could make someone instantly Breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint Realm. This gave her hope, but she planned to observe a bit longer before deciding whether to tell Cao Yang about her origin.

It wasn't until today that she decided to tell him, because she now knew how important they were in Cao Yang's heart.

Once she truly died, Cao Yang would surely suffer immense pain.

Rather than letting that happen, it was better to tell Cao Yang now so they could find a solution together.

When Cao Yang and the five women returned to the City Lord's Manor, the other four women went back to their own palaces, but Cao Yang noticed that Hu Shan Tutu was still following him.

He looked back at Hu Shan Tutu, his eyes full of confusion. "Tu Tu, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Hu Shan Tutu lowered her head shyly and shook it gently, but she continued to follow silently behind Cao Yang.

Seeing this, Cao Yang couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, thinking that Hu Shan Tutu wanted to spend a romantic night with him.

He smiled at Hu Shan Tutu and said, "Tu Tu, I've been too busy these past few days and neglected you a bit. I'll make it up to you today."

With that, Cao Yang scooped Hu Shan Tutu up in his arms and instantly returned to the large bed in his attic.

Hu Shan Tutu was startled by Cao Yang's sudden move and hurriedly struggled to get down.

However, Cao Yang held her tightly, not letting her leave.

"No, husband, I..." Hu Shan Tutu realized Cao Yang had misunderstood her intentions and tried to explain in a hurry.

But before she could finish, her words were silenced by Cao Yang's lips.

Hu Shan Tutu closed her eyes helplessly, a blush spreading across her face.

She knew Cao Yang loved her tails the most, so she proactively revealed her nine fluffy tails.

Sure enough, when Cao Yang saw Hu Shan Tutu's tails, a flash of surprise and delight crossed his eyes.

He couldn't help but stroke the soft fur, feeling its warmth and comfort.

Feeling Cao Yang's affection, Hu Shan Tutu also relaxed, letting him play with her tails as he pleased.

At this moment, Cao Yang was completely immersed in her beauty, unable to pull himself away.

And she was willing to offer this beauty to him, letting him enjoy it to his heart's content.

...

Six hours later.

Nestled in Cao Yang's arms, Hu Shan Tutu said in a delicate voice, "husband, actually, the reason I came to find you this time was to talk about something serious."

"Oh, my beauty, then tell me, what is this serious matter?" Cao Yang asked curiously while playing with Hu Shan Tutu's tails.

"It's about my origin. Actually, I am the Reincarnation of a wisp of a Saint's Will from the Nine-Tailed Ancestral Fox of the Saint Realm..."

Hu Shan Tutu slowly began to explain her background.

The more Cao Yang listened, the more shocked he became. He never expected his Dao Companion to have such a grand background.

After listening, Cao Yang had truly learned something new. He hadn't expected an Extreme Dao Saint would use billions of wisps of their will to go into the myriad Realms and comprehend the myriad Daos just to break through their Realm.

He wondered how many of those Children of Destiny were also like this. What kind of expression would they have when they finally discovered they were merely resources for someone else to become stronger?

However, he would never allow such a thing to happen to his own women.

Hearing Hu Shan Tutu's words, Cao Yang comforted her with a relaxed expression. "Tu Tu, don't worry. As long as I'm here, your fate won't be decided by anyone else. Never mind that your main body is just an Extreme Dao Saint; even if she were more powerful, I would still have ways to deal with her. Just Cultivate in peace. I will definitely resolve this matter before you break through to become an Extreme Dao Saint."

Hu Shan Tutu felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing Cao Yang's words. She knew he was a man of his word; if he said so, he would surely be able to do it.

She looked at Cao Yang gratefully and said, "Thank you, husband. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do."

Cao Yang smiled and stroked Hu Shan Tutu's head, saying, "We are Dao Companions; this is what I should do. Don't be afraid of any difficulties in the future, for I am here."

Hu Shan Tutu nodded and then hugged Cao Yang tightly.
