Chapter 4240

The true spirit of the Heavenly Fox Empress emerged from within the hazy origin.

Like a goddess descended into the world.

Even as just a true spirit, one could still glimpse her peerless grace.

"Descendant of the White Fox clan, Bai Qianyue, pays respects to the Empress!"

Feeling that awe originating from the depths of her bloodline and soul.

Bai Qianyue bowed respectfully.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze also turned toward the Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit.

Yet the Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit did not look at Bai Qianyue.

Her gaze fell upon Jun Xiaoyao the very first moment.

Although her features were blurred, one could still faintly perceive.

A trace of surprise revealed in her eyes.

"Your aura..."

The Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit spoke, her voice lacking the bewitching quality of the fox clan one might imagine.

Instead, it was clear and cold, like music from the heavens.

The Heavenly Fox Empress's attitude also caused Jun Xiaoyao to reveal a faint look of surprise.

Then he also said: "Senior Heavenly Fox Empress, I am a descendant of the Jun Clan, Jun Xiaoyao."

If he were facing other Demon Emperors of the Demon Court.

After Jun Xiaoyao declared his Jun Clan identity.

The outcome certainly would not have been good.

But the Heavenly Fox Empress had betrayed the Demon Court long ago.

So Jun Xiaoyao was not at all worried that the Heavenly Fox Empress would act against him.

"You are a person of the Jun Clan?"

The Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit, with that deep gaze, looked fixedly at Jun Xiaoyao, as if in a slight trance.

This caused a flash of surprise in the depths of Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

Could it be that this Heavenly Fox Empress also had some karmic connection with the Jun Clan?

According to what Bai Qianyue and the other fox clan members said.

The reason the Heavenly Fox Empress betrayed the Demon Court back then.

Was because the fox clan suffered unfair status and treatment within the Demon Court.

Now it seemed, could there be other factors?

"This junior does indeed come from the Jun Clan, what does Senior mean by this..." Jun Xiaoyao probed.

The Heavenly Fox Empress was slightly silent.

She did not say much more in this regard.

Instead, she changed the subject: "Having waited for so long, it can be considered that someone has finally been able to come to this place."

Jun Xiaoyao said: "Senior, what exactly happened?"

"Although this junior's strength is limited, perhaps I can be of some assistance."

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, the Heavenly Fox Empress said in a faint voice.

"Your strength is not ordinary, it is no wonder you are a person of the Jun Clan."

The Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit was clearly aware of the events outside earlier.

She then said: "Since we have met, I can tell you."

"The Nine Heavens River is actually not that simple."

"Back then, my true self went to the depths of the Myriad Demon River, to a place called the River Break Prison."

"That is an extremely dangerous place, but it also harbors many opportunities, including the Ancient Cangtian origin."

"My true self wanted to use the opportunities within to advance further."

"However, I encountered a great terror within..."

The Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit paused here.

"A great terror?"

Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly.

Anything that could make the Heavenly Fox Empress so wary was clearly no ordinary existence.

"Within that place, there is the aura of the Chi Lian immortal substance."

The Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit said.

"Chi Lian?"

Jun Xiaoyao and the others' expressions also grew slightly serious.

If it involved Chi Lian, then it truly was not simple.

Because the Nine Heavens River, although a trial ground for the contention of the kings.

No matter how they fought and slaughtered, it was always a matter for the Ancient Cangtian starry sky.

But if it related to the Chi Lian side.

That would be a conflict between two worlds, the concept was completely different.

"Senior means..." Jun Xiaoyao said.

The Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit said: "Perhaps, Chi Lian had already begun plotting against the Nine Heavens River long ago."

"After all, within the Nine Heavens River, there is a massive amount of Ancient Cangtian origin."

"Not to mention, there are places like the Immortal Soil."

The Heavenly Fox Empress's words caused Jun Xiaoyao to fall into deep thought.

If Chi Lian had truly intervened.

Then the significance of this Nine Heavens contention would be completely different.

It would be a stage for the struggle and confrontation of the monstrous talents of two worlds, and the cruelty can be imagined.

"Could it be that Chi Lian has opened up some key nodes within the Nine Heavens River?"

"Able to transport the living beings of that world over?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

The Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit shook her head slightly and said.

"I am not clear about this matter, after all, I am only a fragmented true spirit, my memory is not complete."

"If you can find my true self, perhaps you can get some answers."

After the Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit finished speaking.

Jun Xiaoyao and the others were also slightly silent.

Clearly, this matter was also somewhat beyond Jun Xiaoyao's expectations.

If Chi Lian intervened, the situation in the Nine Heavens River would undoubtedly become extremely complex.

And now, this news was unknown to the other arrogant cultivators who had entered the Nine Heavens River.

"This junior understands." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

It seems that later, they still have to make a trip to that River Break Prison.

The Heavenly Fox Empress's gaze lowered slightly: "Hmm, if it were an ordinary person, perhaps they could not do it."

"But as a member of the Jun Clan, perhaps you have this ability."

"In addition, take these."

The Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit waved her hand.

The demon origin and Ancient Cangtian origin here all gathered into a cluster.

"Many thanks, Senior."

Jun Xiaoyao waved his sleeve and accepted these origins.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao communicated and exchanged with the Heavenly Fox Empress again.

But this was only the Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit.

So to understand the cause and effect, one still needs to find the true Heavenly Fox Empress herself.

After Jun Xiaoyao and the others turned to leave.

The Heavenly Fox Empress's gaze stared intently at Jun Xiaoyao's back.

A person came to mind in her thoughts.

One person, one sword.

The sword suppressed the Demon Court, and ten thousand demons submitted.

That figure, even today, was still deeply engraved in her heart.

And just now, the moment she saw Jun Xiaoyao.

In a trance, she seemed to see that figure again, who had once stunned an era.

"Can this child continue his brilliance again?" The Heavenly Fox Empress's true spirit murmured.

On this side, after leaving the palace.

Jun Xiaoyao and the others also boarded the bronze ship and left this space.

Obtaining news about Chi Lian caused Jun Xiaoyao to ponder much in his heart.

It seems this trip to the Nine Heavens River and the Immortal Soil is not that simple.

But he was not afraid, nor did he have the slightest wariness.

Instead, he had even more interest.

Chi Lian's intervention could actually make this trip more interesting and less boring.

After leaving this space.

Jun Xiaoyao and the others temporarily stayed in an ancient city within the Star Sea Demon Ruins.

The matter of the fall of the two Demon Saints clearly still needed time to ferment.

In a guest inn cave dwelling within the ancient city.

Jun Xiaoyao unleashed the obtained demon origin and Ancient Cangtian origin.

The vast majority of it was distributed to the Little God-Demon Ant and Mu Xuan.

Bai Qianyue also obtained a little.

The remaining elites of the Demon Alliance also shared some.

Even the Zhan Tian Demon Saint obtained a cluster.

This made him somewhat flattered, feeling as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

Because he knew that Jun Xiaoyao actually did not care about him at all.

Otherwise, he would not have been too lazy to even plant a slave seal on him.

This meant that even if he wanted to be Jun Xiaoyao's servant, Jun Xiaoyao was too lazy to accept him.

And the fact was indeed so.

To Jun Xiaoyao.

The Zhan Tian Demon Saint was at most just a gate-keeping beast for the future Jun Imperial Court.
