155: Be respectful to your godfather

Fang Qianqian wanted to struggle, but she was powerless and could only wail incessantly in her heart.

After leaving the Time Wheel Emperor Palace, Cao Bu sent a voice transmission to summon Yan Ruyu.

"Master."

Yan Ruyu was as respectful as ever.

Cao Bu raised his hand and handed over Fang Qianqian from his arms: "I have a task for you. Her name is Fang Qianqian, and I'm leaving her in your care from now on."

Yan Ruyu carefully took the child, her eyes brightening when they fell on Fang Qianqian's face.

"Master, this child looks a bit like you. Could she be your child?"

Cao Bu nodded slowly: "She is indeed my child, but not biologically. She is my Adopted Daughter."

Having been by Cao Bu's side for so long, Yan Ruyu understood his temperament thoroughly.

Since Cao Bu said she was 'adopted,' it was definitely the absolute truth.

So she's a sister; it seems I must teach her well, starting from when she's a baby.

At this thought, a detailed childcare plan quickly formed in Yan Ruyu's mind.

Fang Qianqian stared intently at Yan Ruyu, her heart already churning with stormy waves.

"How is this possible! This person actually possesses the Taiyin Divine Body?!"

"What kind of world have I been reincarnated into? Even such a terrifying Physique can be born here?"

"And that bastard Cao Bu, he can actually make a Taiyin Divine Body so submissive to him, even calling him 'Master' one after another. It's simply illogical!"

Fang Qianqian felt her heart trembling. Having just stepped out of the Time Wheel Emperor Palace, the world before her suddenly became strange and frightening, completely beyond her understanding.

One must know that once the Taiyin Divine Body matures, it can surpass even Immortals!

"Take good care of her. I'm going to the Scholarly Fragrance Courtyard to find my Adoptive Mother."

After Cao Bu finished speaking, he reached out and gently pinched Fang Qianqian's soft cheek before turning to walk away.

"Respectfully seeing off Master!"

Yan Ruyu hurriedly bowed again, only straightening up once Cao Bu's figure had completely disappeared from sight.

This scene fell into Fang Qianqian's eyes, adding to her shock.

Isn't this a bit too respectful?

What kind of soul-bewitching soup did that bastard Cao Bu give this young girl to make her so loyal?

Just as she was thinking, she heard Yan Ruyu look down and say softly to her: "Qianqian, did you see that? Once you can speak, you must be as respectful to Master as I am."

After a pause, Yan Ruyu added: "No, you should call him Adoptive Father. You must be respectful to your Adoptive Father, do you hear me?"

Hearing this, Fang Qianqian's heart sank, and she simply closed her eyes to feign sleep.

Yan Ruyu showed no intention of stopping and continued to chatter incessantly in her ear.

In the Scholarly Fragrance Courtyard.

Not long after Cao Bu sat down, he saw Su Li walking in from outside the living room.

"You've come at the right time; I have something to tell you," Su Li said, getting straight to the point.

Cao Bu guessed: "We're probably talking about the same thing, right?"

He added: "If it's about the Yin Hour Yang Day, then just say it."

Su Li sat down beside Cao Bu and nodded slightly, her tone becoming serious: "In three years, a Yin Hour Yang Day that occurs once in a million years will appear in the Spirit Realm."

"On that day, the concentration of Yin and Yang Qi in the world will skyrocket, reaching at least a hundred times the usual level, and possibly even exceeding a thousand times."

She looked up at Cao Bu, her eyes full of gravity: "If you can seize the opportunity to Cultivate diligently on that day, even if you only Cultivate for a single day, the results will be a hundred or a thousand times more terrifying than your previous cultivation."

Cao Bu nodded slowly, a look of understanding appearing on his face: "I came to see you for this very reason as well."

"Since you've already clarified the situation, take this."

As he spoke, he took an object from his robes and handed it to Su Li.

Su Li reached out and took it, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes as she asked: "What is this?"

"This is the diagram for the Two Extremes Sun Moon Gathering Formation," Cao Bu explained patiently, his tone certain. "This Formation can actively gather the free-floating Yin and Yang Qi in the world, which will be perfect for the Yin Hour Yang Day."

Hearing this, Su Li's eyes instantly lit up, and an irrepressible joy appeared on her face.

"This way, with the assistance of this Formation, the harvest you'll gain on that day will surely be beyond imagination!"

Cao Bu nodded slightly and gave a serious instruction: "Therefore, this Formation must be set up properly in advance. There can be no mistakes."

"Don't worry," Su Li agreed, carefully putting away the scroll. "I'll go find the Array Emperor first thing tomorrow morning and ask him to personally set up this Formation at the Inverted Mountain."

The Inverted Mountain is the highest peak in the Spirit Realm. Setting up the Two Extremes Sun Moon Gathering Formation there would surely yield excellent results.

With her Quasi-Emperor cultivation and Great Emperor combat power, she could naturally see that this Formation was extraordinary.

She estimated that with the Array Emperor's ability, it would likely take quite some time to completely set up the Two Extremes Sun Moon Gathering Formation at the Inverted Mountain.

While thinking, Su Li remembered something and reminded him: "By the way, I also received news that the Blood Emperor and the Desire Emperor are secretly searching for formation eye stones."

"formation eye stones." Cao Bu's brow furrowed, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his sleeve as his thoughts raced, countless clues intertwining in his mind.

The Blood Emperor, the Desire Emperor, formation eye stones, plus the approaching Yin Hour Yang Day—these things could not possibly be a coincidence.

"You mean..."

Su Li nodded slightly. Before he could finish his sentence, she continued: "I suspect the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor will make a major move on the Yin Hour Yang Day."

"Perhaps he wants to take advantage of the peak Yin and Yang Qi that day to break through the Barrier Gu Qingtian set up outside the Myriad Laws Forbidden Abyss."

After a pause, Su Li's gaze grew even more solemn as she added: "He might even want to use this once-in-a-million-years opportunity to charge toward the Immortal Realm and directly achieve Immortal Ascension."

"Immortal Ascension?" Cao Bu's expression changed upon hearing this.

Whether it was breaking the Barrier or the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor achieving Immortal Ascension, neither was good news for him.

If the Barrier were broken, given the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor's hostility toward Gu Qingtian, he would definitely act against the Gu Clan.

And as Gu Qingtian's Adopted Son, with a status second only to Gu Qingtian's biological children, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor would never let him off.

If the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor really achieved Immortal Ascension using the Yin Hour Yang Day, the consequences would only be worse.

Immortal Ascension would absorb massive amounts of the world's Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi and Law power, making them even scarcer.

At that time, his desire to become an Emperor would likely become as difficult as reaching the heavens.

He didn't know how many ages he would have to wait for another such opportunity suitable for a Breakthrough.

As his thoughts raced, Cao Bu thought of the Two Extremes Sun Moon Gathering Formation, a glimmer flashing in his eyes.

Perhaps all the turning points lie within this Two Extremes Sun Moon Gathering Formation.

As long as the Formation can operate smoothly, it won't be so easy for the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor to achieve Immortal Ascension.

As for the risk of breaking the Barrier, he also had to prepare in advance.

"With our current strength, it's not realistic to directly stop the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor."

Cao Bu took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and his tone returned to being steady: "Arrange for the Array Emperor to set up the Formation as quickly as possible. As for the other matters, we'll see when the time comes."

Su Li nodded solemnly: "Alright, I'll go see the Array Emperor first thing tomorrow morning. As for now..."

As she spoke, she stared straight at Cao Bu, her gaze becoming a bit softer.

Cao Bu understood immediately. Their bodies slowly drew closer, and the atmosphere in the air became warm and gentle.
