As one of the most powerful magical artifacts, the Refining Heaven Cauldron would take a hundred years to traverse any civilization at its fastest speed.
The first civilization in the world existed in a universe that was more than a hundred times larger than it is now, which shows how vast the universe must have been back then.
Because of the vastness of the universe, there are enough resources and fortune to create hundreds of Immortal Emperors.
However, the Primordial Clan launched countless wars of destruction, which severely damaged the World Tree, rendered the Heavenly Laws incomplete, and turned the endless territory into nothingness.
Ling Yun has a wish that once the Primordial Clan is pacified, he will do everything in his power to restore the World Tree and bring all the heavens and myriad realms back to their peak.
That will be the ultimate state of cosmic civilization, a time of universal harmony and idyllic life.
Over the course of a hundred years, having witnessed countless stars, Qiongqi and the Great Sage have gained considerable insights into the Dao. Abao, Shangguan Hong, Lingxi, Lingshan, and Lin Moyu have long since shed their youthful naiveté and become much more composed, their eyes now bearing the marks of time.
At this moment, what everyone saw before them was the Sacred Fox Starfield, and the countless worlds of all sizes within the starfield looked like a nine-day fox howling to the sky.
More than 10,000 years ago, the Sacred Fox Starfield was occupied by the Devouring Black Fox. More than 100 years ago, responding to the call of the Black Dragon Clan, the Devouring Black Fox migrated to the auspicious land of the Chaos Demon Realm.
Lingxi spotted the location of the Holy Fox Star Domain Master World at a glance; there was a sense of home there.
"That is my ancestral home in the Fox Realm. Brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers, and sisters, welcome to my home!"
Excitedly, Lingxi transformed into a rainbow and flew towards the Fox Realm.
The group exchanged smiles and followed.
Upon landing, they felt that the vast wilderness was devoid of any demons, let alone foxes, except for some ferocious birds and beasts that had not yet developed intelligence!
"Sigh~" Lingxi said dejectedly.
"I am the only one left in the Nine Heavens Fox Clan. All the fox clans that were attached to the Nine Heavens Fox Clan have been wiped out by the Devouring Black Fox."
Ling Shan, Ling Xi's best friend, hugged her and comforted her:
"You still have us, we'll always be family!"
"Hmm?" Lingxi's eyes suddenly lit up. "Wait! I can sense the presence of someone from my own clan."
She held the jade pendant her father had given her.
The jade pendant vibrated a few times, indicating that there are members of the same kind in the Fox Domain, perhaps they have been sealed away.
Lingxi looked at Lingyun:
"Brother~ can you sense the presence of my people?"
Ling Yun nodded slightly. The moment he landed, he sensed the aura of thousands of Nine Heavens Foxes.
Immediately, Ling Yun led everyone to the shore of a large lake in the eastern part of the Fox Domain, pointing to the lake and saying:
"Your people are down there!"
With a wave of his hand, the group arrived at the bottom of the lake, where there was an ordinary-looking boulder. It was precisely because it was ordinary-looking that it escaped the search of the Black Fox.
"My people are inside the stones?" Lingxi asked curiously.
Ling Yun nodded, and a brand appeared as he broke open a corner of the boulder.
"Place the jade pendant on the brand!"
Lingxi took off the jade pendant her father had left her and placed it on the brand.
In an instant, the stone burst into a dazzling white light, and Ling Yun and the others were enveloped in the white light and taken into the giant stone.
Inside the boulder is a vast hidden space, rich in spiritual energy and cultivation resources, resembling a grotto-heaven in size.
Upon entering the giant stone space, Ling Yun and his companions saw many Nine-Headed Foxes.
Seeing this, Lingxi burst into tears, "Waaah... I'm not alone in the Nine Heavens Fox Clan anymore, I still have my clansmen!"
boom!
Not long after Ling Yun and his group entered, the Nine Heavens Foxes sensed a powerful aura. At first, they thought it was the Devouring Black Fox that had found this place and were preparing to fight when they saw Ling Xi, who was graceful and beautiful, even more beautiful than a fairy.
In an instant, their powerful bloodline connection allowed them to recognize Lingxi as the clan leader's daughter.
Three thousand Nine Heavenly Foxes rushed over and excitedly surrounded Lingxi. Many of the Nine Heavenly Fox cubs clung to Lingxi affectionately, wagging their tails to curry favor.
"You...you are the Holy Maiden Lingxi, the daughter of the clan leader?"
An elderly Nine-Heaven Fox asked in a trembling voice:
"It is I! It is Lingxi! People of the tribe, I have returned!"
"Our Lady of the Holy Maiden is finally relieved to see you return safely!"
The old fox, Ninth Heaven, wept uncontrollably.
"Back then, when the Devouring Black Fox joined forces with several other fox clans to attack, the clan leader sealed us here to protect the Nine Heavens Fox Clan from extinction."
He said that if the saintess survives, she will open the seal and let us out in the future.
If she is a saint... then let us fend for ourselves here.
Thank goodness the Holy Maiden has finally returned safely! Heaven has not been unkind to the Nine Heavens Fox Clan!
Seeing that Lingxi still had so many clansmen alive, Lingyun and the others were extremely gratified and happy for Lingxi.
Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran each held a Nine Heavens Fox cub, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
Back then, Lingxi was just a few months old, a cub of the Nine Heavens Fox. The two of them carried her all the way, and like Lingyao, they raised her. They were more like sisters than mother and daughter.
Lingxi has grown up now, but she still loves to eat and is still as mischievous as ever.
Stroking the little white fox in their arms, Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu seemed to be caressing Lingxi as a child, and were momentarily lost in thought.
After exchanging pleasantries, the Nine Heavenly Foxes noticed Ling Yun and his group, and instantly realized that it was they who had been protecting and taking care of the Holy Maiden.
They bowed deeply to Ling Yun and the others:
"Thank you all, fellow Daoists, for protecting the Holy Maiden all these years!"
Please come to the clan's headquarters for a chat.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun and his group followed the Nine Heavens Foxes into a grand hall.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lingxi asked:
"Third Grandfather! Father said he left me a large treasure, where is it?"
Old Nine Heavenly Fox is Lingxi's third grandfather, Ling Shen. He didn't participate in the battle because his cultivation level was not high, so he was left here to protect the last remaining bloodline of the Nine Heavenly Fox.
Ling Shen laughed:
"It's right here, we haven't touched it, we're just waiting for you to come and get it!"
As if remembering something, Ling Shen said seriously:
"The clan leader also left behind the nine tails of the Nine Heavens Fox Ancestor for you to study and comprehend."
Your father considered everything he could think of, and also anticipated that you might not be able to awaken all your supernatural powers.
Hearing this, Lingxi couldn't help but shed tears. Parents' hearts are always full of love and concern; even on their deathbeds, her parents thought of her the most.
The Nine Heavens Fox Ancestor's nine tails possessed terrifying killing power, which his parents couldn't bear to use and kept for themselves.
Ling Shen walked up to Ling Xi, tenderly wiped away her tears, and said softly:
"Child, don't cry. You are the hope of the Nine Heavens Fox lineage. Before your father passed away, he said that you will definitely surpass your ancestors and become the most powerful Nine Heavens Fox in the history of the Nine Heavens Fox clan."
Don't cry! After you grow nine tails and transcend the tribulation to become an immortal, you will destroy the Devouring Black Fox and his vassals to avenge your parents and the hundreds of millions of Nine Heavens Fox clan members who perished!
“Alright!” Lingxi’s face was full of determination:
"I will avenge my people! None of those who participated in the siege of the Nine Heavens Fox will escape!"
Ling Shen nodded and smiled:
"Come on! Grandpa will take you to the treasure land!"
"Fellow Daoists, let's go together!"
Ling Yun and the others nodded slightly and followed Ling Shen into a large mountain.
