Chapter 421: Tushan
Lin Chuan's talent makes Chang Haoge feel inferior.
The future is certainly a being destined to ascend to Immortal.
Perhaps after the nine Immortal ranks, a new Immortal rank can be opened.
If Lin Chuan cannot achieve it, perhaps only Yang Zu can.
As for the recently born geniuses among other super powers, he has heard of them, has observed them, they are all dazzling, but have not yet reached the step he expects.
From his position, he truly understands how terrifying Black Mist is.
If no one who can completely rewrite the world order is born, this battle, no matter how it is fought, will ultimately be lost, ending in the extinction of all living beings.
Chang Haoge is praised as the strongest of the previous generation and also the strongest aspiring Immortal today.
In the eyes of the world, he is so dazzling, radiant beyond measure!
But he knows clearly that he cannot change anything.
More often he only feels powerless.
That kind of powerlessness after seeing the end, like a mayfly seeing the blue sky, is not something ordinary cultivators can comprehend.
So what if one is strong?
Generation after generation of strong ones, even Immortals have been born in such numbers.
What about the final outcome?
Even Immortals, before Black Mist, have only the path of downfall.
The person who can completely alter the world order may have already appeared; at present, in his view, the most likely are Yang Zu and Lin Chuan.
The former was the first aspiring Immortal of the ancient era.
In this era, he still displays outstanding talent.
Yet judging from current performance, Lin Chuan's talent even surpasses Yang Zu's.
After all, Lin Chuan completed the supreme inheritance trial long ago, while Yang Zu has just completed the inheritance.
Of course, a single inheritance trial does not fully represent talent.
In his heart, he still leans toward Yang Zu being stronger, and hopes that the one who leads cultivators to change the order is Yang Zu.
Yang Zu, after all, is re‑cultivating for a whole life.
In comparison, Lin Chuan is still somewhat immature; young people are overly arrogant and ultimately lack the bearing of a world leader.
Thinking that, Chang Haoge has already arrived at Yang Zu's seclusion site, Zixuan Mountain.
He sent external news to the mountain via a transmission.
He quickly received a response.
Yang Zu's reply was simple: no need to bother with him.
"Then just ignore him."
Chang Haoge also doesn't want to interfere; at least for now, Lin Chuan hasn't done anything harmful.
……
Mortal Earth, Yuanzhou.
A great continent where non‑Human Race dominants are rare between heaven and earth.
The ruler seated on this continent is the Nine‑Tailed Fox Clan.
The Nine‑Tailed Fox Clan is divided into two major factions: one is Qingqiu, the other is Tushan.
The Tushan branch is the absolute ruler of Yuanzhou; ten thousand demons pay tribute, making it the supreme great clan among the Demon Tribe.
Yuanzhou border.
A young girl tiptoed through the jungle.
Silently crossing the border line, she transformed into a Long Rainbow and vanished into the distance.
After a long while, she finally ceased her evasion.
"Finally escaped!"
A sly smile spread on the girl's face, "Father and mother, really, I'm already this old, yet they still won't let me out."
"Want me to bond with those ugly freaks? I don't want that."
"Hmph hmph hmph."
The girl raised an eyebrow toward the distance, "Ahead should be Human Race territory; hiding there, Father and mother definitely won't find me."
"When they ever change their minds and stop forcing me to bond with those ugly freaks, I'll go back."
Saying that, the girl instantly transformed.
The nine white fox tails behind her vanished; she then conjured a Water Mirror, made several expressions at the face in the mirror, and was very satisfied.
In terms of beauty, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao is not inferior to any being.
Even when disguised, she only hides her tail, unwilling to let her splendid visage change even a bit.
She entered Human Race territory.
Arriving near a Daoist hall, looking at the passing crowd, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao felt slightly disappointed.
This place doesn't seem as interesting as she imagined.
They say the Human Race is the Great Path Form, the most perfect race between heaven and earth; now it seems no different.
Most are misshapen, like they came to the world just to fill numbers.
She can feel many gazes converging on her; some people's malice is unabashed.
"Mother said our Nine‑Tailed Fox Clan is naturally charming, attracting any being with extraordinary allure; I didn't believe it before, but now it seems true."
"I haven't even evolved to my full form, yet these people can't take their eyes off me."
"If I were as enchanting as Mother, wouldn't I make everyone lose their souls? Wow, that's terrifying."
Thinking of this, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao flickered away from the training hall.
Her mother often reminded her that the beings outside are not good at all, being enamored with the flesh of their Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, that kind of allure that one cannot resist.
Among all races, there is absolutely no creature that would truly love their Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
Whether male or female, it is the same.
It is determined by birth.
Even if such a creature existed, one could never encounter it in a lifetime.
"If I truly met such a creature, mother might not bind me to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan."
She likes a free life.
She also wants to pursue the things beyond the worldly that her mother spoke of.
Otherwise she wouldn't have run out of Tushan.
"Alas, being too charming isn't a good thing; appearance can mask the heart. To satisfy father and mother, I'll become uglier."
If she becomes very ugly, would anyone still be willing to be fond of her?
Mother can't possibly say she's also a liar, right?
"It's decided then."
The girl resolved, and the Transformation Art is a talent of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, making herself uglier is no difficulty.
It's just that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is naturally fond of beauty.
Some Nine-Tailed Foxes even regard it as more important than life.
Therefore few Nine-Tailed Foxes voluntarily abandon beauty; even when they transform to disguise, they become more attractive.
Through Illusion Art they further radiate charm.
Becoming ugly is also a grievance for Tu Shan Jiao Jiao.
But to find True Love and refute father and mother, she can only endure.
After the change, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao arrived at another training hall.
Sure enough, the gazes paying attention to her decreased greatly; even when they looked, it was a glance that swept past, often with disdain and contempt.
"Superficial."
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao hummed inwardly.
After all, she grew up in an environment where the stars surrounded the moon, never having encountered such scorn, but to find the legendary True Love,
She endured!
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao walked through the training hall, feeling the customs of the Human Race's territory, and found it fresh.
Even when occasional contemptuous glances were cast, she endured.
But after strolling a few rounds, her heart felt a bit bored.
Because she discovered the Human Race's way of life wasn't particularly strange, much like the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's market.
Even the way of shouting is largely the same.
Just as she was about to change places, a few people's discussion caught her attention.
"Did you hear? Recently another cultivator went to Myriad Symbol Pavilion; ask that Lord to act, go up to the Cold Heaven Sacred Mountain and pick the Ice Void Spirit Flower."
"He goes to that place; didn't they say one must not step foot without seeking the Immortal?"
"This Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion truly possesses vast Divine Power; no wonder he dares to speak of being able to solve all matters without worry."
