Chapter 406

Yan Buji is not born a Dragon Person.....

Hu Xue'er wore a strange expression: "Dragon People can't reproduce, right? So did you encounter some problem during your Dragon Person transformation?"

Yan Buji nodded: "That's right."

Hu Xue'er chuckled: "It seems among all the Otherworldly Races, only the Dragon People cannot reproduce normally."

"That was in the past; now the Dragon People can already reproduce."

"Is.... is that so?" Hu Xue'er looked astonished.

"If you have time, Fellow Daoist Hu, a trip to the Dragon People will make it clear."

"Come to think of it, I never asked where the Dragon People are now...."

Yan Buji thought for a moment: "They're right next to the Merpeople's sea domain; we're neighbors."

"That's how it is." Hu Xue'er wore a strange expression.

Yan Buji didn't like the other side asking about everything, so he asked: "What's the situation with the Fox Tribe then?"

Hu Xue'er thought: "The Fox Tribe differs from other Otherworldly Races; there are only a few thousand of them. Moreover, the environment of the Winter Sea isn't very suitable for us."

"Speaking of which, the Fox Tribe isn't an indigenous race of the Dongxing Sea Region, right?" Yan Buji asked.

"Yeah, I heard from my grandmother that we are a branch that migrated from the Zhong Tian Zhi Yu, belonging to the Celestial Fox lineage."

"What's the difference?"

Hu Xue'er gave an example: "Just like many individuals differ, although all are Fox Tribe, they are specifically divided into three lineages: Celestial Fox, Green Fox, and Red Fox. The Fox Tribe now takes the Red Fox clan of the West Sand River Basin as its main trunk, and the Red Fox Ancestor of the Red Fox lineage currently has Tribulation Crossing Stage strength."

Yan Buji's face twitched, and he fell silent.

It turns out these races also have people behind them.

"Like our Celestial Fox lineage, although we have origins with the fox spirits of the Demonic Race, we're still caught between the Demonic Race and humanity. The Dragon People are probably the same—caught between the Dragon Race and humanity, pleasing neither." Hu Xue'er said helplessly.

"I, Yan Buji, have never seen a Dragon Race in my lifetime."

But I don't know whether the evil dragon at the Imperial Capital of Gen Dao counts as a Dragon Race.

Hu Xue'er smiled: "I haven't seen any Fox Tribe people either, so staying in the Winter Sea has its benefits. Although resources are scarce, joining the alliance doesn't pose too much danger."

"Is the formation method you cultivate, Fellow Daoist Hu, also derived from the Fox Tribe?"

"This was taught to me by a female cultivator of humanity who passed by the Fox Tribe back then; she is a great benefactor of mine." Hu Xue'er laughed.

"Really? May I ask who that female cultivator is?"

Hu Xue'er laughed: "Her surname is Ling, her name is Ling Tianmei. In the Dongxing Sea Region she seems to be called Fairy Tianmei."

Ling Tianmei?!

Yan Buji's past memories were dug up again—could this Ling Tianmei not be the ancestor of the mundane Ling family of the Kun Dao realm?

As it turns out, this person had already visited the Dongxing Sea Region for travel.....

Yan Buji pondered for a moment, then asked: "That Fairy Tianmei must also be an extraordinary formation master, right?"

"Yeah, when I saw her, she was already a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and a sixth‑level formation master! Our island‑protecting formation was set up with her help." Hu Xue'er said.

That's so impressive....

Yan Buji narrowed his eyes; it seems that in future encounters, caution is best—run if you can.

Hu Xue'er smiled: "Although I've cultivated for so long, my formation skill still isn't as good as Fairy Tianmei's, but I still have confidence to surpass her. After all, our clan's refinement methods are also among the best in the world!"

"Is the Fox Tribe's refinement method passed down?"

"Yeah, it's said that it was passed down from our ancestors; Fairy Tianmei came to us also seeking a share of that inheritance."

"Then you gave it to her?"

"That's not clear."

Yan Buji took a deep breath; it seems he still knows very little about the cultivation world.

If Ling Tianmei went to the Fox Tribe for the refinement inheritance, then helping to set up the grand formation is understandable.

Yan Buji had done some research on the history of refinement before, and he inquired: "I, Yan Buji, have looked through human history; it seems that above refinement, two powerhouses have reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage—does the Fox Tribe have any as well?"

"Exactly!" Hu Xue'er's eyes lit up as she explained: "Fellow Daoist Yan, you're right—humanity indeed has two great masters who cultivated refinement to reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage; if I'm not mistaken, they are the Daoist Venerable Huai Zhen of the Zhong Tian Zhi Yu and the Primordial Gate Chief Pu Liangyu of the Nan Ting Mountain Region. But both of these great masters were disciples who took the Celestial Fox ancestor as their teacher!"

"Is that so?" Yan Buji felt somewhat surprised, not good at speculating about the actual situation.

"This is definitely true; I wouldn't deceive you, Fellow Daoist. Nowadays, most of humanity's refinement methods are learned from the Fox Tribe, to be precise, from our ancestors." Hu Xue'er said proudly.

"Is that so? But in human history, it's said that the sovereign who forged the Human Emperor's Banner is the ancestor of refinement."

"The Human Emperor's Banner was also forged with the help of our ancestor, the Celestial Fox." Hu Xue'er wore a strange expression: "The Demonic Race all know this; has humanity not recorded it?"

Yan Buji froze; seeing Hu Xue'er's expression, she seems unafraid of his investigation—could it really be that the Human Emperor's Banner was truly forged by the Fox Tribe's ancestor, the Celestial Fox?

"Humanity has excavated too little of the history of the Primordial Era; I, Yan Buji, have only read some miscellaneous studies, hence my doubts."

"Like that, actually many Otherworldly Races have written records inside them, but humanity seems unwilling to acknowledge it, so when that sage came to our ancestors asking to borrow a look, they ended up destroying our historical books!"

"Really?"

"Yeah." Hu Xue'er pouted: "It's just that our Otherworldly races lack a sage to back them up; otherwise, how could humanity's sages dare do this? The history of the Demonic Race's royal court is right at the door—wouldn't those sages also not dare easily go over and destroy it?"

Demonic Race's royal court?!

Although it involves sage secrets, the Demonic Race doesn't seem as weak as Yan Buji imagined.

"Do the Demonic Race also have sages?"

"The Demonic Race calls those above the Tribulation Crossing Stage venerables, and the Demonic Race's royal court has a total of seven venerables."

"Seven?"

"That's really not few."

Yan Buji looked at Hu Xue'er: "By the way, Fellow Daoist, how do you know all this?"

"Our race's historical inheritance is in the bloodline; as an adult, if you want that information, just recall it." Hu Xue'er laughed.

"Really convenient." Yan Buji laughed.

Hu Xue'er nodded: "However, our tribe's history also mentions that humanity, as the first race to be born, called the Innate Human Race, is extremely terrifying and powerful."

"Ah?"

"Innate Human Race?"

Yan Buji looked strange: "This Innate Human Race is......"

"Roar!!!"

Before Yan Buji could finish his question, a monster king suddenly rushed out from the side, and the two immediately entered combat.

"Dao Friend Yan, I'll lend you a hand!"

"Thank you, Dao Friend Hu."

After a bout of fighting, they finally subdued the monster king.

However, it seems we can't stay here long, so Yan Buji said: "Let's keep moving."

"Hmm."
