"Haotian Tower?"

The several women looked at each other, having never heard of it.

But the tower before them appeared to be enveloped in a radiance, exuding a sacred and extraordinary aura, truly deserving of the name Haotian.

As they scrutinized the Haotian Tower, it shrank visibly until it was palm-sized, resting in Jiang Lingling’s pale hand.

Not only that, the Xuanyuan Sword, mistakenly sealed inside, had now been released by Jiang Lingling from the Haotian Tower, returning to its true form.

"Is this the method Second Senior Brother saw in the hexagram for saving Ah Zhan?" Gongyang Jin glanced at the Haotian Tower and then at Jiang Lingling.

"I can sense an aura similar to ours from her."

Gongyang Jin’s words were met with nods of agreement from the other Contracted Spirit Girls.

They had indeed all sensed it.

Only an Ancient Divine Soldier could make another one feel a similar aura.

The answer was evident.

The girl before them, Jiang Lingling, was the sixth Ancient Divine Weapon Contracted Spirit.

Ancient Divine Soldier, Haotian Tower!

"The ability of Haotian Tower seems to involve sealing." Xia Youwei pondered, "So, does Second Senior Brother’s solution involve using Haotian Tower to seal Ah Zhan?"

"What would be the point of sealing Ah Zhan? Perhaps it’s to re-seal the Void Origin?" Shang Siteng suggested a more plausible guess.

Li Lingzhen interrupted their discussion, saying, "What’s the use of discussing among yourselves? Why not just ask directly?"

As she spoke, she moved closer to Jiang Lingling.

Both shared the character "Ling" in their names, and she was the only one who could understand Jiang Lingling’s speech,

making them seem closer even from their first meeting.

"Lingling, the person you sealed in the Haotian Tower just now is our husband."

Our husband? Jiang Lingling, hearing this, blinked her eyes, looking like a puzzled small creature.

"He didn’t mean to attack you; he’s been controlled by a malevolent thought and is in a state of being possessed."

Li Lingzhen paused here, looking expectantly at Jiang Lingling and asked, "Do you have a way to help him?"

"For example, using the Haotian Tower to reseal the malevolent thought origin controlling him?"

"Um..." Jiang Lingling replied.

Once again, everyone’s gaze shifted to Li Lingzhen, who seemed to have processed for a while before speaking:

"She said the ability of Haotian Tower is indeed sealing, and her current Realm is indeed higher than ours."

Higher should mean Tier Nine.

Only a Tier Nine Sealing System Divine Soldier could suppress the berserk state of Han Zhan.

"But she must clarify a few points."

"Firstly, she hasn’t fully subdued Ah Zhan, only temporarily. Ah Zhan’s power is terrifying now, and he could break the seal at any moment."

"Secondly, she can’t independently seal that malevolent thought origin, as in her perception, the malevolent thought origin has already merged completely with Ah Zhan."

"Lastly, she asked us what ’husband’ means?"

Li Lingzhen spoke at length only to notice Xia Youwei and the others looking at her in shock.

"What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?" Li Lingzhen asked, puzzled.

"She only said one word, are you sure that single word contained so much information?" Shang Siteng couldn’t help but ask.

"Um!" Before Li Lingzhen could speak, Jiang Lingling stepped forward, grasping Li Lingzhen’s hands, shaking them slightly, and then nodded.

"See, she said I expressed it well."

"She also mentioned that because she can’t recall how many years she’s been here, she temporarily lost her language ability and needs time to recover, asking us not to mind."

Li Lingzhen translated again.

Hearing this, everyone could only accept the reality that even the Haotian Tower couldn’t turn the tide.

Despite the discouragement, they held absolute confidence in Second Senior Brother Lin Jingxuan’s divination ability, so they weren’t in despair.

There must be a solution, and it’s on the Moon; they just haven’t found it yet.

Helpful Li Lingzhen began to explain the last question to Jiang Lingling.

While explaining, she formed a fist with her right hand, revealing the hollow center, and then raised a finger with her other hand...

Jiang Lingling watched Li Lingzhen’s demonstration with growing wide eyes.

Xia Youwei, with a black line on her face, quickly covered Jiang Lingling’s eyes.

"Lingzhen, can’t you teach something decent?"

Poor Jiang Lingling, with a life as blank as White Paper, encountered a corrupt teacher as her first instructor.

Yet, this corrupt teacher was the only one who could understand her words.

Who knows whether this is lucky or unfortunate.

In any case, they couldn’t let Li Lingzhen continue the explanation, or Xia Youwei feared the naive might turn into a bold one!

"Let’s quickly find a way to restore Ah Zhan’s normalcy." said Shang Siteng, the smartest among the Contracted Spirit Girls.

On the whole Moon, besides the girl Jiang Lingling, there wasn’t a single living thing.

It was utterly silent.

The solution in Second Senior Brother’s hexagram pointed to the Moon, so it must relate to Jiang Lingling.

However, Jiang Lingling said it herself, the Haotian Tower could not permanently suppress Ah Zhan in his berserk state, nor could it separate the Void Origin to seal it away.

"Separate..."

"Wait a moment."

Shang Siteng’s train of thought halted abruptly. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

She seemed to have thought of something.

"Can Haotian Tower separate the people and items it has sealed, correct?"

Because just now, Han Zhan and the Xuanyuan Sword he held were simultaneously sealed by the Haotian Tower.

But after the sealing, the Xuanyuan Sword was released by Jiang Lingling and returned to Gongyang Jin’s form.

Upon hearing Shang Siteng’s question, Jiang Lingling made a slight "um" sound and nodded.

This time, no translation was needed from Li Lingzhen; Jiang Lingling’s action was evident enough to confirm the statement.

"She says, as long as something is sealed within the Haotian Tower, whether people or items, it becomes under the control of the Haotian Tower, which can decide who to release."

Li Lingzhen translated, blinking her eyes in confusion, still not understanding why Shang Siteng asked this.

"So it is."

Shang Siteng mumbled to herself, before raising her head to look at the others again.

"Do you remember when Second Senior Brother found Ah Zhan through a hexagram, what did he say?"

Nuannuan, the Kunlun Mirror Contracted Spirit, first responded with the best memory related to the River of Time: "Second Senior Brother wanted Ah Zhan to enter the Fruit World to change his fate!"

Fruit World!

Therefore, the real path was... within the Fruit World of the Bodhi Treasure Tree?!

The reason Shang Siteng asked is because Han Zhan, in his berserk state, couldn’t awaken the Bodhi Treasure Tree to enter the Fruit World.

And the ability of the Ancient Divine Soldier Haotian Tower is to extract things under seal!
