Chapter 1051

"Let's go."

After a moment, Xue Popo also stepped onto the cloud vessel, piloting it as it shot deep into the Fox Clan's starry sky.

Divine Splendor reaches the heavens!

Xue Popo said, "The news of Venerable Lord Lu in the lower realm has spread; we all breathed a sigh of relief. Thus, the danger to the Deceit Palace and Gu Yuan Heaven is resolved. Moreover, those petty scoundrels of Yao Yuan Heaven will ultimately be judged by Venerable Lord Lu."

Two and a half days later.

Everyone descended upon the core star sea of the Fox Clan.

Here, the starry sky's power is countless times denser than the outskirts.

Lingyuan Lao Zu came in a long dress, her voluptuous figure swaying gently; her visage was bewitching, with a hint of a noble lady's aura, her long hair cascading like a waterfall over her snowy neck, peaks and valleys undulating, giving a sense of breathtaking beauty.

She had long ordered the Fox Clan's strong ones to await, welcoming A Li's arrival.

Lingyuan Lao Zu came to A Li's side, the long dress had a high slit; a spatial gust blew, fluttering the dress's hem, revealing her snowy, voluptuous thigh, simply breathtaking.

Lingyuan Lao Zu smiled and said, "A Li, welcome. How is Venerable Lord Lu?"

A Li nodded and said, "My master has always been fine. Though the outside world thinks he is recovering his cultivation, in fact my master has always been at his peak. It just depends on whether he is willing to act."

Lingyuan Lao Zu's eyes flickered with Divine Splendor; these words unexpectedly delighted her.

Many elders bowed respectfully to A Li.

A Li's cultivation is not high, but as she is Venerable Lord Lu's disciple, merely by this identity her status in the Fox Clan is extremely high.

Lingyuan Lao Zu gave a bewitching smile, "Come with me."

A Li and company followed Lingyuan Lao Zu into a star, which is a place of clear mountains and waters; here the water trickles, birds sing and flowers fragrance, the dense starry power flows brilliantly, almost condensing into substance.

"A Li, from now on you will cultivate here. This star contains a super teleportation array that can directly reach many secret realms of our Fox Clan; you may go wherever you wish. From now on, you are the Holy Maiden of our Fox Clan, you may use any cultivation resources without needing to report to me."

Lingyuan Lao Zu extended her jade hand, placing a token in A Li's hand.

"Thank you, Elder Ancestor!"

A Li received the token, bowed respectfully, and looked around; here the World Tree's power suffuses, a gentle force sways, like a fairyland.

Lingyuan Lao Zu said, "A Li, follow me, let me test your bloodline power."

A Li nodded.

Soon, they arrived at an altar.

The altar was toweringly high, engraved with many monster clan Dao patterns, like a phantom realm; above the firmament, petals fell in profusion, continuously showering Divine Splendor.

Behind the altar stood a huge stone statue.

Clad in a white robe, peerlessly elegant, yet it is merely a back view, facing away from all beings, like a deity.

It is indeed Lu Xuan's stone statue.

This stone statue is extraordinarily strange, featureless and faceless; no matter from which angle you look, the statue always faces away from the azure depths.

A Li followed Lingyuan Lao Zu's hint, her jade feet light as she stepped onto the altar.

"A Li, you need only transform into your true form and circulate your bloodline power; the altar will naturally sense it and, according to your bloodline concentration, produce a phenomenon."

"Nine tails is a monster!"

"Ten tails is defying heaven!"

"And if eleven tails produce a heaven‑earth phenomenon, that is our clan's highest record!"

Many Fox Clan elders looked toward the altar with anticipation.

Boom—

With a thought, A Li manifested her true form, nine tails soaring to the heavens like blooming gorgeous flowers; her whole body's fur was incredibly smooth and pink, exuding a bewitching, moving aura, her eyes crystal clear like lakes, and the mighty monster power poured forth in all directions toward the altar.

Many elders were shocked.

A Li's true-form bloodline pressure has already surpassed the Fox Clan's ordinary one-star Wen Dao Realm!

Defying heaven!

Ali began to circulate the power of his bloodline, and soon an eerie Divine Light emanated from the altar above, the Dao Resonance flowing, transforming into rings of Dao patterns.

With a boom, a heaven-and-earth phenomenon of fox tails appeared behind Ali.

"The tenth tail!"

Many elders exclaimed in surprise.

Next, the eleventh tail also manifested!

"The eleventh tail!"

Many elders exclaimed again.

Lingyuan Laozu smiled, as if it were expected.

Eleven tails like petals, clustered in blooming profusion, emanating Dao and Resonance.

The next instant.

The twelfth fox-tail phenomenon also manifested!

"Hiss!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

Ali's bloodline opened a new precedent for the fox clan!

Even Lingyuan Laozu was somewhat moved, his jade hand unconsciously clenching into a fist, "Good! Good!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The altar could not bear it, and actually began to crack, numerous Dao patterns shattering, emitting a heaven-shaking roar.

Lingyuan Laozu lightly waved his jade hand, supporting Ali down.

In the final instant of the altar's shattering, it seemed a thirteenth fox-tail phenomenon manifested, but it was extremely vague, fleeting instantly.

Everyone was completely stunned!

Spirit Kite Ancestor's breathing became rapid, the peaks and valleys undulating unpredictably, "Ah Li, you will surely be able to reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao in the future. I once had a moment of enlightenment, glimpsing a corner of our fox clan. Beyond the World Tree in the starry sky, there are terrifying fox clan ancestors, one tail opening heaven, one tail destroying earth, with a casual gesture they evolve starry illusions, condensing them into reality."

Ah Li's eyes reflected starlight, "Master said, beyond the World Tree there is also a butterfly world and a giant palm world. When the time comes I will definitely go see them."

The Spirit Kite Ancestor smiled, "Good."

She brought Ah Li back to that star, "Ah Li, this star has no name; give it a name."

Ah Li thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Fox Blessing Star."

This time parting from Ancestor Tamamo and the others, I don't know when we'll meet again.

Next, Ah Li began cultivating on Fox Blessing Star.

Xu Kun then asked the Spirit Kite Ancestor about the whereabouts of the Kun clan and went to look for them.

The Spirit Kite Ancestor saw Xu Kun off, "Many of the Kun clan have been captured by the Strange Palace and Gu Clan Heaven; the remaining Kun clan have been hiding. Stay safe."

Xu Kun's eyes turned blood-red.

He remembered that in the Strange Realm, his kin had been toiling day and night in the Fractured Realm, working like oxen and horses.

Even the donkeys of the production team weren't that tired!

When their master unlocked their shackles, his kin still instinctively went to the Fractured Realm!

Even when they entered the Dark Abyss, it took a long time before they adapted.

From that moment on, Xu Kun resolved, "I will fight for my clan's freedom!"

Soon, Xu Kun bade farewell to the Spirit Kite Ancestor, his form flickered, space twisted, and he vanished.

Lower Realm.

Primordial Star Sea.

Mo Diaomao, Li Liang, Ma Lan Hua, Old Man Yang and the other old-timers came to find Lu Xuan.

They had already stepped into the half-step Asking Dao realm, eager to go up and take a look at the Upper Realm.

Fang Yan, Luo Lingkong, and Liu Xuan also came, all having entered the High Star Sovereign realm.

Luo Lingkong's body flowed with life-and-death sword intent, "Recently I've had another realization. I wonder how the sword cultivator monsters of the Upper Realm really are."

Fang Yan: "......"

Lu Xuan smiled, flicked his sleeve, and inscribed a token bearing the character "Lu".

"When the time comes, go find Qi Chun Jing."

Lu Xuan handed the token to Mo Diaomao; with a thought, an incredibly profound spatial power enveloped everyone.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

The world barrier directly tore open a black vortex.

Mo Diaomao's face lit with excitement as he shot straight up, "Upper Realm, here I come, Mo Diaomao! Upper Realm's Strange clan, Gu Clan, and demon clan, tremble!"
