Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction. Once outside Zhao, there would be the Great Gan Dynasty, and this jade pendant would be much more convenient.
"Thank you!"
Dan Xuzi nodded slightly, bowed to Ling Yun again, and left the Dan Ding Association with the unconscious He Wushuang.
After the two left, Chu Yefan, along with all the high-ranking members of the Dan Ding Association, bowed to Ling Yun.
"Thank you very much, Supreme Ancestor!"
Ling Yun waved his hand and laughed:
"No need for formalities, I'm not helping for nothing!"
Chu Yefan understood immediately, took out his spatial ring, and handed it to Ling Yun.
"The clues to the Qiankun Cauldron, the Netherworld Purple Flame, and the Primordial Sacred Fire are all in the spatial ring."
After a pause, Chu Yefan reminded him:
"If the Ancestor wants to go to Haoling Mountain to find the Divine Fire, he must be careful. Almost no one who has been there has ever come out. It is said that hundreds of top-level elders from the Zhao Kingdom have gone there and never returned, and many great cultivators from the Golden Cloud Continent have also perished there."
That place has become a forbidden area, therefore the Zhao state is keeping the news of the divine fire secret, also to prevent more people from dying and perishing.
Ling Yun smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the reminder. Until we meet again!"
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Supreme Ancestor!"
After watching Ling Yun and his group leave, Chu Yefan ordered that Ling Yun's memorial tablet be placed at the top of the Ancestral Hall, level with the Ancestral Master.
After leaving Gongshan City, Lingyun gave one Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill to each of Abao and the others.
"As long as they are not completely dead, they will be resurrected by taking the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill. It is of great benefit to the soul of martial artists!"
After saying that, Ling Yun patted Shangguan Hong on the shoulder and said:
"Eat him, and all the hidden dangers caused by the secret method will be eliminated, and your lifespan will be restored."
Shangguan Hong's face lit up with joy, and he swallowed it without hesitation. It wasn't because he coveted the longevity, but because he could finally serve Ling Yun forever.
The little white fox, inhaling the fragrance of the elixir, said with a blissful expression:
"Brother~ I want to eat the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill too."
Ling Yun rubbed her little head and smiled:
"This is useless for demons. Once we get to Haoling Mountain, I'll get you some high-grade demon cores, those will be much more nourishing for you!"
"Wow~ Yay! Yay!" The little white fox instantly lost interest in the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill.
Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu swallowed the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill and immediately felt terrifying spiritual power explode within their bodies. They immediately sat cross-legged on their horses and began to refine it.
Seeing that A Bao had put away the pills, Ling Yun asked curiously:
Why aren't you eating?
Abao scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
"The Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is worth tens of millions of gold coins each. It's a pity to consume it. If we ever need money, we can sell it."
Ling Yun chuckled. A Bao had been poor as a beggar before, and he was reluctant to use good things.
Three days later, Ling Yun and his group arrived at the entrance of Haoling Mountain. Looking at the endless Haoling Mountain range that pierced the clouds, they exchanged glances and then entered the Haoling Mountain range.
According to the clues given by Chu Yefan, the Netherworld Purple Flame and the Primordial Sacred Flame are in a cave halfway up a peak in the very center of the Haoling Mountains. Although it is said to be halfway up the mountain, the location is actually hidden in the clouds.
Moreover, the very center of the Haoling Mountains is a world of demonic beasts, home to many powerful demons who surpass cultivators. Most of the martial artists who come to search for the divine fire die in the mouths of these demonic beasts.
Monsters have an extremely strong sense of territory and will kill any intruder without exception.
A day later, Ling Yun and his group arrived at the edge of the central area and heard a terrifying roar from a beast, which made everyone's hearts tremble.
Yan Ruyu stroked the little white fox's head and comforted it, saying:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we'll protect you!"
The little white fox asked, looking puzzled:
"Sister Ruyu, I'm not scared, it's you who are trembling."
Yan Ruyu blushed and vigorously rubbed the little white fox's head.
Ling Yun laughed:
"She is a Nine Heavens Fox, with incredibly pure blood. Even if a real dragon were in front of her, she wouldn't be afraid."
"Let's go! Up in the mountains!"
Everyone took a deep breath and followed Ling Yun into the central area of Haoling Mountain.
"Roar~"
Not long after they stepped into the central area, a Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage appeared before them.
In the Golden Cloud Continent, the cultivation realms are divided into Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Return, and Body Integration.
The highest level one can reach is the Integration Realm; in this world, the highest level one can reach is the Integration Realm.
A demon beast with the cultivation level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage is enough to dominate a region in the Zhao Kingdom.
Upon seeing the towering, ten-zhang-tall, fanged, and ferocious-looking Divine Bull, A Bao and the others trembled with fear.
They had never seen such a terrifying and enormous monster.
"Roar~"
The Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox charged directly at Ling Yun and the others, daring to trespass into their territory and court death.
Ling Yun looked at the little white fox and asked with a smile:
"Want some beef?"
The little white fox nodded emphatically, "Yes!"
"good!"
Ling Yun pulled the little white fox out of Yan Ruyu's arms and threw it directly at the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox.
"Waaaaah... Brother Lingyun, I hate you!"
"I'll never call you brother again!"
The little white fox was terrified. It wanted to eat beef, but it couldn't win the fight!
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Ling Yun had thrown the little white fox over.
Yan Ruyu looked at the little white fox with heartache, "Brother~ she's still young. Facing a Foundation Establishment mid-stage Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox is just suicide."
Ling Yunyao pointed her finger and smiled:
"Not at all, you underestimate the Nine-Headed Fox cubs!"
Suddenly, the mighty ox opened its massive jaws and lunged at the little white fox.
Upon seeing this, the little white fox instinctively tried to escape, but Ling Yun had sealed off the area with a barrier.
She wanted to escape, but she couldn't.
Seeing the gaping maw about to bite it, the little white fox gritted its teeth, leaned forward, and bristled its fur, revealing a fierce expression.
The moment the little white fox bristled, a surge of bloodline power erupted, and the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox sensed this power.
It was as if it had seen a great terror, and it turned to run away. However, the power of the little white fox's bloodline was too terrifying, and it directly pressed the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox to the ground, unable to move.
Everyone was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. The little white fox was so fierce that it scared the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox, into not daring to move.
A Bao and Shangguan Hong reacted quickly and drew their swords to defeat the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox.
Seeing that the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox was dead, the little white fox immediately looked smug, took small steps back, jumped into Yan Ruyu's arms, and rolled her eyes at Ling Yun.
"Hmph~ You bad brother~"
Then she looked at Yan Ruyu in a flattering manner, "Hehe... Sister Ruyu, am I great?"
Yan Ruyu affectionately ruffled her little head, "Great job!"
Actually, the little white fox didn't know why the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox was afraid of her, but she didn't think much of it and figured she had solved the problem herself anyway.
Let's see who dares to say they just eat and do nothing all day.
Immediately, A Bao and Shangguan Hong began slaughtering with practiced ease, while Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran used Phoenix Essence Fire to start a fire.
Ling Yun took out the demon core of the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox and waved it in front of the little white fox.
"Tsk tsk...what a delicious demon core!"
The little white fox's big eyes immediately sparkled, and it jumped into Ling Yun's arms, nuzzling his chin with its head and saying affectionately:
"Good brother, please let me eat the demon core~"
