The Woman Who Gives Jiang Che a Headache

"Heh~~~" The old man chuckled upon hearing this.

"Your grasp of a sliver of Heavenly Dao power has narrowed your vision so much?"

The old man's words left the young immortal momentarily stunned.

"Above the Heavenly Dao lies the Great Dao. You command the source of the Heavenly Dao, standing above it..."

"Are you saying... that Jiang Che commands the source of the Great Dao???" The young man's expression was a sight to behold.

In the Nine Heavens, the immortals who currently commanded the source of the Great Dao were but a handful, all ancient monsters who had lived for countless eons. Although there were said to be three thousand six hundred paths of the Great Dao, implying three thousand six hundred sources, those chosen by a Great Dao source... were exceedingly rare!

"Then let me ask you... do you think it's possible for one person to possess two, or even three, different Great Dao sources?"

"How could that be??? Great Dao sources cannot possibly merge!"

"Indeed... I once thought the same. I pursued it for hundreds of thousands of years just to grasp a corner of the Great Dao, yet I never imagined...." The old man gave a bitter smile.

"What do you mean? What exactly is the relationship between Jiang Che and the Demon Ancestor? Could it be they both possess Great Dao sources?"

"Unspeakable! Truly unspeakable!" The old man sighed deeply, stroked his beard, turned, and walked away.

[Young Man: You @#￥%@￥&@#@&...]

Damn these riddlers!

If this old man weren't the founder of the Heavenly Dao Palace, he would have slapped him long ago.

......

Mortal Realm.

"Hiss... This is really strange. I've fed it so many heavenly treasures, so why hasn't this belly grown any bigger?"

Jiang Che placed his large hand on Shen Yu's belly. On the girl's slightly rounded abdomen rested a piece of Immortal-grade Spirit Stone emitting a multicolored glow!

The spiritual energy within an Immortal-grade Spirit Stone was vast and boundless. Even though the fetus in Shen Yu's womb possessed the Devour Immortal Demon Body, capable of devouring all things and draining a Top-grade Spirit Stone's energy in one breath, it couldn't do the same to an Immortal-grade one!

It was worth mentioning that Shen Yu's cultivation had already broken through to the Nirvana stage!

Yes, this girl who almost never cultivated, whose mind was always focused solely on formations and talismans... she had broken through to the Nirvana stage!

Her strength surpassed even Jiang Che's. In half a year, she had advanced from the Shattering Heaven stage to the Nirvana stage.

This speed of breakthrough would shock everyone in the Nine Heavens.

Due to the Devour Immortal Demon Body, the fetus in Shen Yu's womb needed to devour massive amounts of heavenly treasures and spiritual energy daily. However, the fetus itself had no cultivation; almost all the devoured spiritual energy was transferred without loss to Shen Yu's body.

This resulted in Shen Yu's cultivation soaring like a rocket even without her actively practicing.

"Jiang Che, do you really like babies?" Shen Yu looked up and asked. Although Shen Yu was still somewhat wooden and dull like a silly goose, her maternal instincts were gradually increasing, and she would occasionally whisper a few sweet nothings to Jiang Che.

Under Jiang Che's unrelenting efforts, even the iron tree had finally blossomed!

"What? Don't you like them?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.

"I do!" Shen Yu said softly.

After chatting with Shen Yu for a while, Jiang Che suddenly spotted a familiar, graceful figure at the door, followed by several other girls.

"Well, well! Sister Fei Fei, you're here too!" Jiang Che grinned shamelessly as he walked over, scooping Gu Lingfei up by the waist.

"You—" Gu Lingfei wanted to say something in her heart, but ultimately didn't speak.

Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, and the others behind her rolled their eyes at Jiang Che.

"Little Che, I'm starting to doubt myself. Am I really pregnant? Why don't I feel anything at all?" Gu Lingfei patted her own flat abdomen.

She had been pregnant for four months, but the fetus inside seemed as if it hadn't developed at all. Apart from being able to sense its life force, there were no other signs.

Normally, one should start showing by three months, as Shen Yu had.

"Sister Fei Fei, getting impatient again?" Jiang Che spoke up. "Sister Fei Fei, the slower the baby develops, the more it can make up for any innate deficiencies while in the womb. I suspect the little one in your belly is also a troublemaker of the highest order."

Gu Lingfei covered her mouth and laughed. "Troublemaker... Aren't you troublemaker enough? Your reputation in the Nine Heavens is spreading far and wide..."

"By the way... Little Che, are you really the reincarnation of that so-called Demon Ancestor?"

Gu Lingfei blinked her big eyes and asked.

"Uh... Probably. But it's not that useful. Just like Yao Yao... Isn't Yao Yao also the reincarnation of that 'Supreme Forgetfulness Immortal'? As long as your memories and body are your own, reincarnation is just a joke, nothing more than an extra bragging right."

"Jiang Che, Jiang Che! Then tell me, whose reincarnation am I?" Yu Wan'er shoved her little head forward, her face full of anticipation!

Who wouldn't want an extra awesome identity, like Sister Yao Yao's...

"You? I'd say you're the reincarnation of an ancient succubus who only knows how to seduce men and drain their vital essence!" Jiang Che grabbed Yu Wan'er by the ankle with his large hand, pulling her into his embrace, and began tickling the sole of her foot.

"Giggle~~~ You jerk, you're the succubus reincarnation, stop tickling, giggle~~~" Yu Wan'er couldn't break free from Jiang Che's iron grip at all.

Jiang Che wasn't just shooting in the dark; he genuinely suspected Yu Wan'er's identity.

This girl clearly hadn't cultivated any special seduction techniques, yet she could inexplicably drive men crazy with desire. She was undoubtedly an ancient succubus.

......

Another three days idled away.

However, Jiang Che hadn't been idle.

Although they had repelled that Deformity Demon Ape and scattered much of the evil spirit army, the number of otherworldly evil spirits was simply too vast... countless, and shrouded in that eerie black mist. Even with a super-weapon like the Annihilation Light, it was difficult for Jiang Che to completely eradicate all of them.

"Ah~ What a headache!"

At the shattered part of the realm barrier, Jiang Che returned to this place.

The red hairpin still hovered there, preventing the realm barrier from repairing itself!

Jiang Che stood for a long while, then slowly walked up to the hairpin and reached out to grasp it once more.

As if coming to life, the hairpin detached itself from the realm barrier, but then shot like a launched needle towards the space between Jiang Che's eyebrows!

A hairpin capable of breaking Great Dao power—if it truly pierced between his brows, who knew if it would nullify Jiang Che's undying effect.

But at the last possible moment, the hairpin stopped just before his brow, then instantly lost all its immortal power and fell.

Jiang Che raised his hand and caught it in his palm. Looking at this hairpin that had now completely turned into a mundane object, Jiang Che lowered his gaze slightly, his thoughts drifting far away.

"Why bother?"
