Ghost Ridge and Soul Abyss.
The six-tailed old woman came here with the little fox.
On the way here, the little fox informed the old woman in detail about the nine lives he had seen.
At this moment, the old woman was still in shock.
Such an unbelievable thing, she didn't believe it at first. ✵
But when the little fox revealed that thousands of years ago, there was a Nine Heavenly Ghost Fox that defied nature and offended the Demon Emperor. In the end, he became the Nine Abyss Ghost Fox. After surviving for a few hours, his soul disappeared, and his tribe was exiled and suppressed...
Old woman, I have to believe it!
Because that Jiutian Youhu is the ancestor of the little fox!
And she never mentioned this to the little fox!
"We, the Youhu clan, are destined to be unable to return to the demon world. Are we destined to be sealed and suppressed forever in our clan?" The old woman's face was filled with sadness.
The little fox nodded.
Indeed.
It discovered this in its first life back.
No matter who it chooses, no matter whether it goes against heaven or goes along with heaven, the result will be that it cannot grow to nine tails.
"Grandma, I don't want to be a puppet anymore, I don't want to forget anymore!" the little fox said seriously.
"You mean..." The old woman was silent for a while and then said: "You want to imitate your ancestors and burn your body with ghost fire and refine your soul with ghost fire? But in this case, you can only live for a few hours."
"Even if it's just for a moment, I want to be myself. Even if it's just for a moment, I want to stand in front of Jiang Chen and tell him that I will never forget him again!" the little fox blurted out.
"..."
The old woman was silent.
"Grandma! Please!" the little fox begged, "Nine reincarnations, I owe Jiang Chen so much. Unless I can no longer forget, I don't have the courage to stand in front of him! I feel more uncomfortable now than if I were dead. ”
"……Why!"
The old woman let out a long sigh.
The reason why she was silent just now was not only because she couldn't bear to watch her granddaughter die, but there was also a deeper reason.
Burning the body with ghost fire and refining the soul with ghost fire can indeed allow Jiutian Youhu to escape his fate.
But things are not that simple.
Let’s talk about the burning body first.
The reason why the ancestors were able to do it was because they had completely mastered the Nether Fire. But today's little fox is not even a demon king, so he can't do it at all!
Let’s talk about soul refining with hellfire.
Under the Ghost Ridge and Soul Abyss, there is indeed the Nine Abyss Fire, but this fire is guarded by a female ghost, and that female ghost is notoriously difficult to mess with!
A little careless.
The little fox will be destroyed by the female ghost before it touches the underworld fire!
Even if she was protecting him, she wasn't completely sure.
After understanding this, the little fox asked: "Grandma, is there any way for me to quickly break through to the Demon King? Without losing my memory?"
"……No."
After pondering for a long time, the old woman shook her head.
Seeing her hesitation, the little fox said with a cry: "Grandma, please help me! I don't want to hurt Jiang Chen anymore. I want to stay with him and sleep in his arms, even if it's only for a moment..."
"Why!"
Hearing this, the old woman sighed again and replied: "Silly boy, there is indeed a way, but you will die!"
"Death?" The little fox blinked.
"Yes, it means death!" The old woman shook her head, "The Nine Heavens Fox is special, and neither pills nor heavenly materials and earthly treasures can help it break through in cultivation. Only ghost-eating can advance quickly! And at the moment of advancement, you need to Cut off the fox tail! Not one tail, but all of them!”
"Eating ghosts will make you haunted by ghosts, and if you are not careful, you will become a mindless ghost. Cutting off the fox's tail is also tantamount to committing suicide. If you survive it, you can keep your memory. If you can't survive it, you will He will die on the spot," she added.
"So that's it, it's very easy." The little fox smiled.
easy?
The old woman was stunned!
This is related to your own life. Just talking about it, you know that you will encounter a lot of suffering!
In the eyes of the little fox, is it actually easy?
"Grandma, this is indeed an easy thing compared to forgetting Jiang Chen and never seeing Jiang Chen again." The little fox explained.
"..."
The old woman was speechless again.
And while he was silent, the little fox had jumped into the Ghost Ridge and Soul Abyss.
The old woman didn't stop him. She just sighed again and sat cross-legged in silence, her consciousness covering the entire Ghost Ridge and Soul Abyss.
She doesn't have long life left and can't accompany the little fox to complete everything.
She can do it.
I can only wait here silently and help the little fox when he encounters difficulties.
She hopes too.
I hope the little fox will retreat when faced with difficulties and not go down a dead end.
after all.
No old man wants a white-haired person to give a black-haired person.
"Jiushuang? Well, it is indeed a good name." The old woman looked up at the sky and murmured softly.
…
…
In the Ghost Ridge and Soul Abyss.
"call--"
The ghost wind howls and ghosts float.
After the little fox arrived inside, he felt like he was in an ice cellar, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
In front of it, a ghost with teeth and claws appeared.
It didn't know how to fight, but it still rushed forward and bit each other with the ghost.
Relying on instinct and ghost fire, it finally defeated the ghosts and swallowed them one by one.
All of a sudden.
The ghost energy was scurrying around and hitting the little fox's body.
Every time the ghost energy moves around, it is like a sharp knife, waving continuously in its body, dripping with blood wherever it goes. And every impact seems to hit the soul, giving it a splitting headache and making life worse than death.
but,
It rushed towards another ghost.
There was no hesitation.
obvious.
Compared to the pain of forgetting memories, the torture it is suffering now is insignificant to it.
This is just above the Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss, most of which are ghosts without intelligence. And these ghosts can be easily eliminated by even a lower fourth realm cultivator.
After several hours.
The little fox has devoured hundreds of ghosts.
In its mind, it seems that these ghosts are constantly howling, one after another, which is extremely harsh.
"Shut up!"
The little fox kept shaking its head, trying to dispel these voices.
But the more it resisted, the more intense the ghost howl became.
And under the influence of ghost howls and ghost energy.
Unknowingly, the little fox's eyes have turned red, and the snow-white hair has a tendency to turn black.
Looking at itself, it rang the words of Jiang Chen:
"You are the Nine Heavens Ghost Fox, so you take 'Nine' as your surname. You are as white as frost, so you take 'Frost' as your name, so you are called Jiushuang."
It lowered its head, and its expression was lonely.
If it succeeds in defying fate, it will no longer be the Nine Heavens Ghost Fox.
If it continues to devour ghosts, it will be infected by ghost energy, and its hair will turn black.
Then.
Will it still be worthy of the name given by Jiang Chen?
"It's okay, it's okay." The little fox shook his head and comforted himself: "Even if Jiang Chen can't recognize me, I can recognize him. Even if I don't deserve the name 'Nine Frost', it is still my name."
"Because it was given by Jiang Chen."
"Because in this life, even if I die, I will never be Bai Ling again!"
"One day, I will appear in front of Jiang Chen and tell him."
"In this life, I will never forget him again!"
"He is more important than my life!"
"..."
The little fox kept whispering.
After that.
It walked deeper into the Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss.
Faintly.
There seemed to be a figure in white in front of it smiling at it and calling its name.
"Jiushuang..."
"Here!"
Jiushuang responded with a smile.
