Chapter 276

"Yellow-grade top-tier (?) technique: Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox"

"Originating from a mysterious big shot, it contains various arts of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, but for unknown reasons, it was split into three."

"Collect all Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox to obtain the true Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox immortal technique."

"Note: This technique originates from an existence in the upper realm whose name cannot be mentioned, passed down to Qingqiu. After Qingqiu fell, it attached itself to Shushan, and this technique was included in the Shushan Scripture Pavilion."

"Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox is an authentic demon cultivation method; those who are not of the fox lineage cannot exert its maximum strength."

"Disciples should choose carefully and not waste their efforts."

After checking carefully, Jiang Yan gave a wry smile and raised his head to look at Yae Miko.

"You are truly fated with her... if it weren't for the impossibility, I would really think you were her reincarnation."

Yae Miko was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Yan suspiciously.

"Sect Master, what do you mean..."

Jiang Yan shook his head.

"Do you know who this Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox originated from?"

A flash of light appeared in Yae Miko's heart, and she suddenly thought of a name that had been appearing repeatedly these past few days.

"Could it be..."

"The demon concubine of Shang Tang, the number one Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox of all time, the master of the Heavenly Charm Body, the peerless demoness who wreaked havoc on the world, the culprit who accelerated the destruction of Shang Tang."

Jiang Yan said solemnly:

"Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, Su Daji."

Yae Miko's eyes widened, looking at Jiang Yan in disbelief, and then she turned her gaze to the jade talisman.

A hint of fiery heat burned in her eyes.

"Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox was originally just a relatively ordinary art of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox lineage in the upper realm."

"But after Su Daji appeared, she used great opportunity and great perseverance to melt the Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox into a true Heavenly Immortal method."

"Therefore... this Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox is essentially an authentic Heavenly Immortal method."

Yae Miko was somewhat tongue-tied, and Ganyu said with a full smile:

"Congratulations, Sister Miko!"

Jiang Yan paused and continued:

"Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox was Su Daji's specialty: Soul-Chasing, Life-Changing, Twin-Birth, Profound-Communication, Sentiment-Reading, Illusion..."

"Su Daji melted the specialties of the Qingqiu Fox Clan and the Tushan Fox Clan together; since then, the Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox has become the art that all Nine-Tailed Heavenly Foxes dream of."

"But the conditions to truly master the Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox are so harsh that in this world, perhaps only Su Daji could do it."

"But now, there is one more person, and that is you, Miko."

"To truly exert the true ability of the Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox, one must be of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan and possess the Heavenly Charm Body."

"For thousands of years, there has only been one such existence: Su Daji."

"That is why I said this technique is simply tailored for you; the current you can be said to be Su Daji's authentic successor."

"I also truly suspected for a moment that you were Su Daji's reincarnation."

Jiang Yan looked at Yae Miko, who was somewhat dazed, with emotion, paused, and added with regret:

"It's just a pity that the Nine Changes of the Heavenly Fox was eventually dismantled and lost its original divine power."

"In the entire Shushan, or even the entire cultivation world, perhaps only the content of the first three changes exists." 【286-

"Otherwise, gathering all nine transformations to form an immortal art would be truly incomparably powerful."

Hearing this, Yae Miko hurriedly said:

"Sect Master, could it be that if I cultivate this technique, I can only cultivate the first three transformations, and there is no other possibility?"

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"It cannot be said so absolutely, it's just... never mind, there is basically no possibility."

Yae Miko's expression turned serious.

"I ask the Sect Master to inform me! This disciple will definitely do her utmost to recreate the Ten Heavenly Fox Nine Transformations."

171. Yae Miko cultivates immortality, bloodline atavism, the Tushan Fox Immortal clan?

"Do you truly have this intention?"

Jiang Yan looked at Yae Miko with a complex gaze; the path Yae Miko wanted to take had vast prospects.

If she succeeded, she would be a Su Daji in the world, and it would not be impossible for her to even surpass Su Daji.

But...

This path was far too arduous.

"Since the Heavenly Fox Nine Transformations is this disciple's predestined affinity, then I must pursue it to the end. I will never give up any opportunity."

"Only by being strong can I refuse all tragedies! Like everyone else, this disciple has many reasons to need to become stronger."

Yae Miko stared at Jiang Yan with unprecedented determination.

There was silence in the sect's main hall for a long time. After a while, Jiang Yan sighed slightly.

"A firm will is good, but I hope you do not go down a crooked path in the future, otherwise..."

"This disciple will keep the Sect Master's teachings in mind!"

Yae Miko chuckled, full of charm; the Heavenly Charm Body she awakened after cultivating immortality, though not yet polished, already displayed the demeanor of a peerless enchantress.

Every look and smile made one's heart and soul tremble.

The Heavenly Charm Body is truly terrifying.

However, Jiang Yan was not affected at all; the gap between Yae Miko and him was too great.

To bewitch him, one would need at least a Heavenly Charm Body at the Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage.

Jiang Yan's gaze was deep as he took out a jade talisman.

This was something he had recently rediscovered from the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

It recorded more detailed information about the cultivation world and the secrets of Shushan.

"What I said earlier, that there is absolutely no other Heavenly Fox Nine Transformations in the entire Shushan, or even the entire cultivation world, was not a lie."

"But, this statement is not absolute."

"Back then, the lower realm's Qingqiu encountered a catastrophic crisis, and its ten-million-year foundation was destroyed in an instant, but some clansmen were still protected by Shushan."

"These first three transformations of the Heavenly Fox Nine Transformations were contributed by the Qingqiu clansmen."

"In the lower realm, there are actually the middle three transformations of the Heavenly Fox Nine Transformations."

"But the location of this technique is somewhat special."

"Before I tell you, you first need to know about the two major fox factions in the cultivation world."

"The Qingqiu Fox clan and the Tushan Fox clan lineage."

Ganyu was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Yan with some surprise.

"Sect Master, the Qingqiu Fox clan and the Tushan Fox clan should both be demon clans, right?"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

Now, Ganyu was even more puzzled.

According to Shushan's style of hating evil and slaying demons, it was already inconceivable that they hadn't wiped out a demon clan completely; how could they possibly protect one?

"You must think that Shushan strictly adheres to slaying demons and that every demon seen must be rooted out, with only spirit beasts being spared, right?"

Ganyu nodded slowly.

Jiang Yan said softly:

"People are divided into good and evil, and demons, naturally, also have good and bad."

"There are still demonic cultivators in the cultivation world; how can one paint all demons with the same brush and say they are all bad?"

"The demon-slaying that Shushan practices is only aimed at those demon clans that have committed many evils."

"For demon clans that adhere to the righteous path, we still hold goodwill. Of course, many years ago, Shushan indeed had no good feelings toward any demon clan."

"Later, when the philosophy changed, that was another past not suitable for speaking."

Jiang Yan paused, not knowing what he was thinking of, his eyes filled with a hint of nostalgia.

"Among the demon clans, there are also many friendly groups, such as the Tengshe and Xuangui clans by the East Sea."

"The Bodhi Willow in the far west, the Fire Spirits of the Southern Continent, and so on."

"The Qingqiu and Tushan clans are just like these demon clans, having good relationships with many sects in the cultivation world."

"But, between Qingqiu and Tushan, there is an irreconcilable hatred, which involves the internal struggle and division of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan in the upper realm."
