The First Great Prophet of the Fox Clan!
Three days passed quickly. During these three days, Chu Xinghe and the Beast God tried every method together, but the Heaven and Earth Ring just kept his cultivation locked tight, and there was absolutely no chance of breaking through it.
Chu Xinghe's prison break plan was over before it even began...
Now, forget about escaping from prison; Chu Xinghe wouldn't even have the chance to reveal that he's a Human Race.
The Fox Clan's grand festival began. Chu Xinghe, who was as still as a statue, was carefully washed by a group of the Fox Clan, then dressed in a set of the Fox Clan finery, and finally carried out of his cell.
Countless Fox Clan gathered around the Fox Clan altar; the sacrifice had begun, and Chu Xinghe was placed in the very center of the altar.
At this moment, Chu Xinghe also met the high priest of the Fox Clan for the first time, and he was quite different from what Chu Xinghe had imagined.
Logically speaking, when you hear the Fox Clan, wouldn't you subconsciously imagine that the high priestess of the Fox Clan must be a stunningly beautiful woman who dresses in extremely revealing clothing...?
The kind that can captivate your soul at the drop of a hat.
But in reality, the high priest of the Fox Clan was a fat man... a fat man with seven tails, and a fat man at that! He looked like a fat otaku who failed at cosplay!
Below the high priest of the Fox Clan, a group of the Fox Clan elders also surrounded the center of the altar, while all the other priests returned to their respective positions.
Now, all the strongest members of the Fox Clan have gathered at the altar.
As Chu Xinghe carried to the center of the altar, all the powerful members of the Fox Clan rushed forward and surrounded him.
The high priest of the Fox Clan personally straightened Chu Xinghe's clothes, while the other Fox Clan leaders murmured among themselves.
The feeling was extremely similar to a farewell ceremony at a memorial service.
Then, various rituals were carried out one by one, and the entire sacrifice continued until nightfall, when the sacrifice reached its final stage.
The Fox Clan's High Priest, Hu Shang, personally presided over the final sacrificial ceremony for the Great Prophet.
The great prophet of the Fox Clan has become a thing of the past. After the division of the Four Continents, the Fox Clan also lost its great prophet, and the legendary ability to observe celestial phenomena and know the past Future has become a legend.
In ancient times, before each generation of the Great Prophet of the Fox Clan died, he would use his last bit of life force to predict the Future of the Fox Clan, and at the same time, he would indicate to the Fox Clan when and where the next prophet would be born.
However, when the Four Continents were divided, the Great Prophet of the Fox Clan also disappeared. Countless years have passed, and the Fox Clan has never produced another Great Prophet.
But the Fox Clan never gave up... The Fox Clan's ritual held once every five years allows them to communicate with the remaining Soul Power of the great prophets who once existed in this world. The Fox Clan wants to find a new generation of great prophets by communicating with those great prophets who have passed away and by using the Soul Power left behind by countless generations of prophets.
Throughout the entire history of the Demon Race, the Fox Clan has never been the strongest, but it has always been one of the eight major Fox Clan Demon Race and is also known as the most intelligent race in the entire Demon Race.
It can be said that every step the Demon Race takes is inseparable from the predictions of the Future by the great prophet of the Fox Clan.
But now, the Fox Clan has declined after losing its great prophet... Although it still bears the title of one of the eight great Demon Race, everyone knows that the Fox Clan no longer the one that can command the wind and rain, because the Fox Clan has never produced a great prophet again.
But the Fox Clan never gave up. Every five years, even if it meant sacrificing members of their Fox Clan, they would still try to communicate with the Great Prophet, hoping to find a new Great Prophet.
However, with each communication, apart from the occasional blessing from a great prophet, the spirits of the great prophets of the Fox Clan seemed to have abandoned the Fox Clan and never guided them again!
Hu Shang looked at Chu Xinghe lying on the altar. Hu Han had told Hu Shang about the crippled fox three days ago.
At first Hu Shang hesitated, after all, this crippled fox's origins were unknown... and it was a crippled fox at that; was it really a good idea to use it as a sacrifice?
However, the Fox Clan is not large to begin with, and even serious criminals of the Fox Clan are not easily sacrificed. Wouldn't this crippled fox of unknown identity be perfect for such a sacrifice?
Therefore, after studying it, the many elders of the Fox Clan also felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Moreover, the Fox Clan performs a sacrifice every five years. In the earliest days, the Fox Clan was full of hope, wanting to gain revelation through the sacrifice and find a new great prophet.
In that era, the Fox Clan even used its strongest Fox Clan as sacrifices.
But with each disappointment, the Fox Clan's sacrifices became increasingly substandard, so now they just use a crippled fox as a sacrifice, which is good enough!
After all, in the history of the Fox Clan, even when a powerful Fox Clan member made a sacrifice, at most it would only bring down some minor blessings from a great prophet of a certain generation. These blessings could not change the fate of the Fox Clan, nor could they give birth to a new great prophet.
Now that things have come to this, even if it's a crippled fox used as a sacrifice, it doesn't really matter, does it?
Hu Shang took one last look at Chu Xinghe on the altar, then waved the Moon God Scepter in his hand. A silver light shot straight into the sky, and as the light rose, all the Fox Clan knelt down in an instant.
The light from the scepter fell onto the altar like quicksilver, and in an instant, the originally dark altar began to shimmer with a silver glow!
Countless runes were simultaneously lit up on the altar, and as the altar was illuminated, countless silver rays of light began to drift from all directions toward it.
Hu Shang knew that these wandering silver lights were the remnants of the ancient prophets' souls left behind in the world, and these remnants were the only chance for the Fox Clan to receive enlightenment.
The silver specks in the sky kept converging, eventually transforming into a beam of silver light that descended from the heavens. This light came from the remaining power of our ancestors!
In an instant, the light shone on Chu Xinghe, who was standing on the altar.
As the light shone down, Hu Shang raised the Moon God Scepter and knelt on both knees in prayer!
"O ancient ancestors... please bestow your wisdom and guide the Fox Clan in a new direction!"
As Hu Shang cried out, light began to flicker on Chu Xinghe's body, but it only flashed three times before shattering... and once again turning into silver light that scattered in all directions.
Seeing this, not only Hu Shang, but all the Fox Clan were disappointed, because they had performed such sacrifices countless times.
When the silver light falls, it devours the soul of the sacrifice. Sometimes the silver light lasts for a while and then gives some blessings, but more often the silver light simply dissipates.
Once the silver light dissipates, it means that even the blessings will not be missed.
Although Hu Shang was filled with disappointment, Hu Shang knew that sacrificing a crippled fox would be too weak to attract the light of blessing.
Hu Shang sighed and prepared to continue the final ritual of the sacrifice. He would divide the offerings, whose souls had been taken away, into 108 pieces and give them to the 108 warriors of the Fox Clan. After all, even without the blessing, the offerings had still been touched by the light of their ancestors and could be considered to carry their glory.
But just as Hu Shang stood up, ready to speak about the division, a scene that left Hu Shang completely dumbfounded unfolded.
On the altar... the remnant fox, whose soul should have been taken away by the silver light, did not die as it had in the past. At this moment, the remnant fox was still alive?
Hu Shang was completely stunned...
The other Fox Clan elders who were preparing to divide Chu Xinghe after Hu Shang spoke were also dumbfounded!
The Fox Clan has performed countless sacrifices; according to the normal procedure, the offerings should have lost their souls by now!
Why is this crippled fox still alive?
Just as Hu Shang was completely bewildered, the entire altar burst forth with dazzling silver light, and countless silver rays instantly converged into a straight silver pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
Between heaven and earth, thousands upon thousands of silver rays of light were drawn by the pillar of light and all headed towards the altar.
Silver light gathered wildly within the pillar of light, and to the astonishment of all the Fox Clan, the silver light coalesced into a gigantic Fox Clan statue!
This statue holds the same silver Moon God Scepter as Hu Shang, but it has nine tails that shimmer with silver light on its back!
The first great prophet!
This is the Dharma Aspect of the first Great Prophet of the Fox Clan. The moment this Dharma Aspect appeared, the entire Fox Clan was in an uproar!
It is important to know that every time a blessing is given during a ritual, the Dharma Aspect of a great prophet of a certain generation will appear, Dharma Aspect will select a person of great fortune from the Fox Clan to receive the blessing.
Those Fox Clan who receive the blessing of the Great Prophet and the power of the blessing will Future rise to the pinnacle of existence.
For example, the current chieftain and high priest of the Fox Clan obtained the divine power of the fifth generation Fox Clan's great prophet, which led to the Hu Shang.
No matter which generation of the Great Prophet, there is absolutely no comparison with the first Great Prophet.
Throughout the history of the Fox Clan, only the first generation of the Fox Clan's great prophet was ever called the Fox God!
Today, no one expected that the first great prophet of the Fox Clan would manifest himself.
But no matter who it is, as long as they can receive the blessing of the first Great Prophet, they will inevitably rise to power against all odds!
All the Fox Clan knelt down in unison, each Fox Clan bowing devoutly towards the direction of the first Great Prophet, as if praying for his blessing to grant them purer demonic power.
Not to mention ordinary Fox Clan, even Hu Shang's eyes are now bloodshot!
The first great prophet of the Fox Clan has manifested his divine power. If the first great prophet can bestow his blessing upon me, then my stagnant cultivation might be able to achieve a new breakthrough...
Therefore, without hesitation, Hu Shang knelt down on both knees, holding the Moon God Staff high in his hands, and prayed that the first Great Prophet would bestow his blessing upon him!
All the Fox Clan were praying that this great opportunity would fall upon them.
Just as many Fox Clan were praying devoutly, the Dharma Aspect of the first great Fox Clan prophet descended from the sky.
As the first Great Prophet descended, countless silver lights showered down upon the entire Fox Clan. But just as everyone was wondering who would be the lucky one blessed by the first Great Prophet...
The first generation of the Great Dharma Aspect of the Fox Clan waved the Moon God Staff in his hand, and the next second, an incomparably dazzling silver light descended from the sky, but the location where the light landed left all the Fox Clan dumbfounded.
At this very moment, the first Great Prophet of the Fox Clan chose to bestow his blessing upon the crippled fox lying in the center of the altar as a sacrifice?
As the silver light fell, the Heaven and Earth Ring on Chu Xinghe's body shattered instantly, and countless silver lights surged wildly into Chu Xinghe's body.
This scene stunned not only all the Fox Clan, but Chu Xinghe was even more dumbfounded!
Um... is this first-generation Fox Clan great prophet blind?
With so many Fox Clan here, how could you possibly choose me, a mere imposter, from among the Fox Clan to bestow your blessing?
Just as Chu Xinghe was wondering if the first Great Prophet of the Fox Clan had gone blind, the power of blessing flowed into Chu Xinghe entire body. In an instant, Chu Xinghe finally understood why he had been chosen!
This has absolutely nothing to do with one's race... It turns out that this so-called divine blessing power isn't demonic power at all, but rather... luck...
