How dare these cultivators? As Hu Sanniang listened to the spirits of her sisters recount the entire story, her eyes turned red, and resentment grew within her. Hundreds of Qingqiu Fox Clan lives were ruined by these selfish cultivators?
Tianyou Zhenren didn't notice anything unusual about Hu Sanniang. However, even if he did, he wouldn't take Hu Sanniang seriously. Hu Sanniang's demonic power had been sealed by him, and her consciousness was severely injured. It was impossible for her to escape.
As soon as Master Tianyou arrived outside the forbidden area, the protective formation on the forbidden area was opened, and a young man in a white robe walked out.
The young man looked only in his twenties, but Tianyou Zhenren didn't dare to be arrogant in front of him. Seeing the young man, Tianyou Zhenren put down Hu Sanniang, who had been carrying him, and bowed respectfully to the young man, saying, "Yushan disciple Ou Tianyou, greeting the ancestor."
Taoist Master Daoyan nodded and waved at Taoist Master Tianyou, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, but his feet involuntarily walked towards Hu Sanniang.
Daoyan Zhenjun wanted to confirm as soon as possible whether the person Tianyou had brought was the real Hu Sanniang. Without Hu Sanniang, the fox clan's inner elixir would not be able to meet the needs of the secret realm.
This Langyuan secret realm was not originally owned by the cultivators, but a secret treasure bestowed by the goddess Nuwa to the fox clan.
The conflict between the cultivators and the fox tribe was a disaster for the fox tribe, and also for all cultivators. Daoyan Zhenjun was not quite sure what exactly happened, but he only knew that the cultivation world mobilized all the high-level cultivators at the time to snatch this secret realm from the fox tribe.
I don't know who told the cultivators that the fox clan had a secret realm with rich spiritual energy. Not only could they achieve twice the result with half the effort in practicing there, but there were also many natural treasures and thousand-year-old spiritual plants everywhere in the secret realm. That's why they had such bad intentions.
To seize this secret realm from the fox clan, the Yushan Sect planned for hundreds of years before uniting all the other cultivation sects and marching into Qingqiu. Fearing the Fox King would complain to the Nine-Tailed Fox, the cultivators simply slaughtered the entire fox clan after seizing the secret realm.
The Fox Clan's strength should not be underestimated. In that battle, the cultivators gained little, suffering a 99% casualty rate. The Yushan Sect ostensibly dispatched three Nascent Soul cultivators and ten Golden Core cultivators, but in reality, like the other sects, they had dispatched all their high-ranking cultivators. With the exception of one True Person Tianyan, who escaped with his life, all the other Yushan cultivators were killed in the battle. The other sects faced a similar fate, losing their elite warriors in that clash.
Daoyan Zhenjun escaped the disaster because he was in seclusion to reach the Nascent Soul stage and did not participate in the battle.
After this ordeal, the highest-level cultivators were now only at the Nascent Soul stage. Daoyan Zhenjun was already the highest-level cultivator, and as a result, the Yushan Sect gained control of the secret realm.
After obtaining the fox clan's secret realm, the cultivators discovered that it was indeed rich in spiritual energy and contained many rare spiritual plants. While not ten thousand years old, many were at least a thousand years old. It was clear that the fox clan had been using this secret realm as their own backyard and medicine garden since obtaining it.
With the idea of "recycling waste," the monks set up a "Seven-Star Spirit Transformation Formation" in the sky above the secret realm. This spirit transformation formation can refine the demonic energy in a demon pill into spiritual energy that can be absorbed by monks and spiritual plants.
After the Seven Star Soul Transformation Formation was successfully set up, the fox cores of the fox clan made their final contribution to the cultivators.
The spiritual energy within the secret realm is much richer than outside, and since it has long been under the care of the Yushan Sect, the leaders of several other sects have decided to move their sects into the secret realm. The richer spiritual energy allows cultivators to advance faster. This way, everyone can enjoy the benefits of the secret realm without being exploited by the Yushan Sect.
The core of the "Seven Star Transformation Array" was set in the forbidden area of the Yushan Sect, which was always under the control of Daoyan Zhenjun. As a result, the Yushan Sect had three or two times more spiritual energy than other sects.
When the cultivators first moved into the secret realm, their cultivation speed was indeed much faster than outside. Decades later, some high-ranking cultivators discovered that the spiritual energy within the secret realm had gradually become thinner. It's no wonder that the combined number of cultivators in the several sects within the Langyuan Secret Realm has exceeded 3,000, a significant increase compared to the fox clan, which at its peak numbered only a few hundred.
In order to maintain the consumption of spiritual energy in the secret realm, the monks had to set their sights on the demon clan.
Less powerful demon tribes perished one after another at the hands of the cultivators, their demon cores transformed into the spiritual energy of the secret realm by the spirit-transforming array. The cultivators tricked powerful demon tribes, such as the Black Bear Demon Clan, into entering the secret realm. Over the past two hundred years, through both covert and overt tactics, the cultivators have decimated the high-ranking demon tribes. The Black Bear Demon had always believed that his parents, who cultivated within the secret realm, had long since become part of the spiritual energy within.
This Seven Star Spiritual Transformation Formation had a special feature: the number of demon pills required to transform spiritual energy must be seven at a time. If these seven demon pills came from the same source, the spiritual energy transformed would be hundreds of times greater than that of ordinary demon pills.
The Fox King of this generation gave birth to six children. It was for this reason that the demon cores of the Fox King and his five children were preserved by Taoist Master Daoyan, waiting to be dealt with together after Hu Sanniang was "caught".
Daoyan Zhenjun has been stuck in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul for a long time. Because of this, he needs more spiritual energy to cultivate.
The spiritual energy that can be converted from the demon cores of the Fox King and several children is not a small amount. If True Lord Daoyan can take it all for himself, I think he can directly reach the state of transformation into a god.
However, True Lord Daoyan was no pushover. He knew that the Yushan Sect's ability to stand proudly above all other cultivation sects wasn't due to him alone, but rather to the numerous Jindan cultivators within the Yushan Sect. Compared to the Maoshan and Xiushui Sects, which had declined to the point where they only had one Jindan cultivator left, the Yushan Sect had five Jindan cultivators, which was already quite impressive.
This time, after receiving the message from Zhenren Tianyou, Zhenjun Daoyan immediately notified Taoist Lingyun, the head of the Yushan Sect, and asked him to bring the other three Jindan cultivators to the forbidden area to share the "spiritual energy feast".
After Daoyan Zhenjun identified Hu Sanniang's true identity, he stretched out a hand and carried Hu Sanniang into the forbidden area.
A dazzling fox pill has been placed on the array plate of the "Seven Star Soul Transformation Array", and it is flashing with dazzling brilliance.
"Sanniang, you must live well. Mother is gone first." The fox king's call was ringing in Hu Sanniang's sea of consciousness.
"No! Queen Mother, please wait a minute. My master is on the way to rescue me. We will be fine." Hu Sanniang guessed what the Fox King was going to do next and was shocked.
