Does This Make Him Half a Prophet?
Upon seeing the Word Spirit Orb that High Priest Hu Shang had taken out, Chu Xinghe burst into tears.
This fortune is unconditionally on my side, Chu Xinghe's side.
This Word Spirit Orb is actually the Spirit of Fortune! With this thing in my hands, it's not just changing, it's changing so much!
Soon, Hu Shang personally brought the Word Spirit Orb to Chu Xinghe's side.
The Word Spirit Orb floated gently from Hu Shang's hand and traveled all the way to Chu Xinghe's side.
"Grasp it!" Hu Shang said calmly. As soon as Hu Shang finished speaking, Chu Xinghe reached out and grabbed the Word Spirit Orb in front of him.
The moment Chu Xinghe touched the Word Spirit Orb, the Word Spirit Orb changed.
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, the Word Spirit Orb shattered instantly in front of all the Fox Clan, turning into fragments that flew all over Hu Shang's face!
Hu Shang: "???"
The audience. "???"
At that moment, the entire altar fell into a deathly silence... Everyone stared wide-eyed at the shattered Word Spirit Orb.
The Word Spirit Orb is a sacred object left behind by prophets throughout history. It also records the guidance that prophets have given to the Fox Clan. Before their demise, each prophet leaves their own prophecy about the Future of the Fox Clan in the Word Spirit Orb.
This prophecy will also be revealed by the next generation of prophets.
Hu Shang was completely dumbfounded... What he had just said about the changes in the Word Spirit Orb to verify his identity meant that the prophecy within the Word Spirit Orb would be opened by a new generation of prophets.
But now... the Word Spirit Orb has been opened... but isn't the way it was opened a little too outrageous?
That was some serious over-the-top use of the Word Spirit Orb... it's practically shattered into pieces!
Not only are the prophecies of the previous generation gone... now even the Word Spirit Orb is gone...
Chu Xinghe didn't know what the Fox Clan meant by the change in the Word Spirit Orb... but he didn't even need to look at the Fox Clan's reaction. Just seeing the Misfortune Compass spin again, directly pushing his cultivation limit to the Peak Seventh Rank... Chu Xinghe knew... this was definitely a problem!
Good heavens! Since I got the Misfortune Compass, it has never spun so happily before. In just a short while, Misfortune Compass has already spun twice.
The first time was when I destroyed the Fox Clan's heritage... The second time was when this Word Spirit Orb exploded...
The scene is in complete chaos...
The purpose of taking out the Word Spirit Orb was to verify whether Chu Xinghe was indeed the new prophet, but now the Word Spirit Orb has exploded... Who can we complain to?
"You audacious fox... how dare you destroy my Fox Clan's sacred artifact!"
No one knows who shouted, but in an instant, countless Fox Clan swarmed around, their eyes bloodshot, looking as if they wanted to devour Chu Xinghe.
Just as the Fox Clan was filled with righteous indignation, Elder Hu You, standing to the side, looked at Chu Xinghe with a shocked expression, then waved his hand and said, "All of you, step back!"
Elder Hu You's words had an effect, and all the Fox Clan who had surrounded them immediately retreated.
At this moment, Elder Hu You Spirit looked at all the Fox Clan above the rank of priest, and in their eyes, Hu You saw the same shock as himself.
Regarding the Word Spirit Orb, ordinary Fox Clan only know that it is a sacred object passed down from generation to generation of prophets.
But only the high-ranking Fox Clan know the secret of the Word Spirit Orb!
The Word Spirit Orb is a divine object formed from the condensed divine power between heaven and earth. The Fox Clan's prophets throughout the ages have wielded the divine power of heaven and earth, using this power to drive the Word Spirit Orb to deduce the Future for the Fox Clan.
The first Great Prophet of the Fox Clan possessed unparalleled divine power. Every time the Great Prophet used the Word Spirit Orb, the Word Spirit Orb crack due to the overwhelming power of his divine strength, requiring a long period of repair to restore it to its original state.
Later, starting with the second generation of Great Prophets, their divine power was far inferior to that of the first generation of Great Prophets. Therefore, since then, the Word Spirit Orb has never been damaged by divine power.
But today... the Word Spirit Orb exploded!
To ordinary Fox Clan, Chu Xinghe destroyed a sacred artifact of the Fox Clan. But to all the high-ranking Fox Clan above the priest level... they knew very well why!
It wasn't that the crippled fox destroyed the Word Spirit Orb... but rather that the divine power within him was too terrifying... so terrifying that even the first Great Prophet couldn't compare. He merely touched the Word Spirit Orb lightly, and the Word Spirit Orb was instantly shattered by his divine power!
At this moment, all the high-ranking Fox Clan exchanged glances. What the other Fox Clan thought was no longer important; all the high-ranking members understood that there was absolutely nothing wrong with this inheritance...
The terrifying divine power emanating from Chu Xinghe has already explained everything.
Only those born with such divine power have the potential to receive the Prophet Inheritance. The divine power within this crippled fox is so terrifying that it is only natural that he could attract the Prophet Inheritance.
However, something unexpected seemed to have happened during the process of inheritance. The divine power of the prophets of all generations was passed down to him, but the nine tails of the Fox Clan were not passed down with them.
Therefore, this inheritance is only halfway done, and Chu Xinghe cannot be considered a new prophet of the Fox Clan; at most, he is a semi-prophet...
At this moment, not only Hu You understood all of this, but all the high-ranking members of the Fox Clan also understood all of this.
Upon understanding all of this, Elder Hu You Nether breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, while Elder Hu You was shocked by this inheritance today, he was also more worried.
If this crippled fox truly inherited the Fox Clan's Prophet Inheritance, then the Fox Clan is likely to descend into complete chaos.
The reason is simple... The Fox Clan has not produced a prophet for too many years, from ancient times to the present. If the Fox Clan's Prophet Inheritance were to fall to the high priest or even an elder, it would be a great thing for the Fox Clan.
The Fox Clan will rise to power under the leadership of a new generation of prophets.
But today, this Prophet Inheritance has been born in a crippled fox of unknown origin. It is his first time returning to the Fox Clan, and he was forcibly sent to the altar as a sacrifice.
If he truly becomes a prophet today, how should the Fox Clan accept him?
Or rather, can he integrate into the Fox Clan?
The Prophet is the highest ruler of the Fox Clan, holding a higher position than Hu Shang, the clan chief and high priest.
A wild fox, suddenly transformed from a sacrifice into a prophet, can the Fox Clan acknowledge him as their master?
Would the High Priest agree? Would the elders agree? Would even an ordinary Fox Clan accept it?
If a strange fox suddenly becomes the supreme ruler, the entire Fox Clan will probably be thrown into chaos.
Humans have selfish desires, and so do Fox Clan. It's simply unrealistic to say that a wild fox suddenly appears out of nowhere, receives the Prophet Inheritance, and all the Fox Clan immediately bow down and worship him as the new Supreme.
Each generation of prophets was chosen by the previous one, a tradition passed down through generations. However, since the fourteenth generation of Prophet Inheritance, no prophets have appeared in the Fox Clan. If a prophet were to suddenly appear now, it might not be a good thing for the Fox Clan; on the contrary, it could be a great disaster.
But now, this Hu Xinghe only received the inheritance of divine power, but did not obtain the Nine-Tailed Fox, which perfectly solved the problem.
You call him a prophet... but he didn't obtain the Nine-Tails... You call him not a prophet, but the divine power within him is many times stronger than that of the first prophet.
In this situation, it is actually the best for the Fox Clan. He himself did not receive the complete inheritance, so he cannot be considered a prophet, and the Fox Clan does not need to respect him as their master. However, he has obtained the divine power of the Fox Clan, which is known to all the high-ranking Fox Clan.
All the power of the prophet originates from that mysterious divine power, and as long as one possesses that divine power, what has been lost in the Prophet Inheritance can be gradually recovered.
So theoretically speaking, although Hu Xinghe is not Fox Clan prophet now, he will definitely grow into the Fox Clan prophet in the future.
This kind of growth is exactly what the Fox Clan needs right now!
If this Hu Xinghe is truly devoted to the Fox Clan, then by staying within the Fox Clan and relying on his divine power, he will inevitably be able to gradually reach the pinnacle. At that time, the Fox Clan will naturally give birth to a new prophet, and will naturally honor him as the Lord of the Fox Clan.
After exchanging glances with all the high-ranking Fox Clan, Hu You stood up and approached Chu Xinghe.
"Your name is Xinghe, right?"
"Yes..."
Tell me, did you really receive the Prophet Inheritance?
As soon as Hu You said this, all the high-ranking Fox Clan present turned their attention to Chu Xinghe.
"No way... I don't even have the Nine-Tails, so I definitely didn't receive the Prophet Inheritance. But just now, some strange things suddenly appeared in my mind... I don't know what they are!"
Clever!
At this moment, even Elder Hu You couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the Xinghe before him!
This child not only possesses Supreme divine power, but he also has great wisdom!
Chu Xinghe completely bewildered, but in his mind, he had already calculated it millions of times.
No way... Nobody thinks they'd immediately bow down and worship me if I told them I'd received the Prophet Inheritance, right?
When they asked me if I had received the Prophet Inheritance, it was actually a test. Chu Xinghe was certain that if he had answered that he had received the Fox Clan's Prophet Inheritance, these old guys would have killed him at all costs the next second.
The reason is simple... This Fox Clan's territory was conquered by them, and this land belongs to them... I'm just an outsider, why should I take over their land just because we disagree?
This is just like the Vast Heaven Sect. If some random little guy suddenly appeared, claiming to have obtained the inheritance of the Vast Heaven Sect's ancestors and wanting to become the new Vast Heaven Sect leader, do you think Gu Mingchao would immediately bow down or kill him?
Reaching the top in one step may seem appealing, but the greater chance of doing so is falling to your death.
Chu Xinghe is a pragmatic person. "I'm not Demon Race. I was pulled here by accident. All I want now is to find my way home... What Fox Clan prophet... Screw you!"
First, settling down in the Fox Clan is the most important thing; finding a way home is more important than anything else!
As expected, all the high-ranking members of the Fox Clan smiled upon hearing Chu Xinghe's answer.
Elder Hu You Spirit immediately spoke up, "Good child, although you did not receive the Prophet Inheritance, you are right. Those wondrous things you obtained did indeed come from our ancestors, and that divine power will fill your Future with hope! From this day forward, you will remain in the Fox Clan, and I will personally teach you. Are you willing?"
"Xinghe is willing, thank you Elder..."
Everyone was overjoyed... For a moment, Chu Xinghe and the other high-ranking Fox Clan all wore extremely satisfied smiles...
