Heavenly Fox Marrow Blood

"Fellow Daoist, this Companion Beast truly possesses extraordinary Bloodline!"

The Kongming Ancestor offered a compliment, but Chen Beiwu showed little joy in his eyes.

"How could it be Three Aspects dragon-fox? Could it be because of the Dragon-Nurturing Fruit that Zhiling ate, or because of the influence of the multiple Companion Beast Contract?"

Chen Beiwu was quite surprised and pondered the reason.

As everyone knows, the stronger the phantom formed by the Bloodline reversion during the first tribulation of the Demon Venerable Ancestor Return, the purer the Bloodline in Zhiling's body is, and even extremely close to the ancient ancestors. According to Chen Beiwu's estimate, even if Zhiling cannot condense the Primordial Unity Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox phantom comparable to the Primordial Chaos during the first tribulation of the Demon Venerable, she can at least reflect an imposing Eight-Tailed Void Fox Phantom.

But now it seems that while this Three Aspects dragon-fox form is indeed powerful, it has lost a trace of purity.

"Fortunately, the Demon Venerable's first tribulation reflected the phantom of the Three Aspects dragon and fox, which does not necessarily mean that Zhiling will transform in this direction."

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed as he activated the Pure Source Wonderful Dao Dharma Image, resonating with the Bloodline within Zhiling's body.

His Clear Source Profound Ability can trace back to the source, and may well help Zhiling directly point to the Origin her Bloodline and awaken the ancient celestial fox Bloodline.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

With Clear Source Origin Xi's appearance, Zhiling's power as Demon Venerable who had attained enlightenment grew even more terrifying, to the point that all Spirit Transformation within tens of thousands of miles of Guyuan Blessed Land were alarmed. "Wait, this Demon Venerable's aura is so familiar. Could it be the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox that Beiwu Contract is attaining enlightenment?"

Inside the grand formation, Yuyue Guardian opened her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed.

One step behind leads to another.

Beiwu must have obtained some kind of fortuitous opportunity in the Kongming Realm to be able to help Zhiling take the final step in such a short time.

"I'm done playing. Since you guys practically offered Upper Gate treasures, I'll go easy on you."

At this point, Yuyue paused slightly and began to reveal her true form. "As for whether you live or die, that depends on your ability to save yourselves!" Rumble!

Upon hearing this, the six powerful figures from the Kongming Realm who were using the power of the Formation Arts to besiege Yuyue immediately dared not be careless and quickly summoned their personal Origin Artifact.

The next instant, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vigor trembled, and the surging energies of life and death, the Samsara of reincarnation, descended with a colossal shadow beyond description. "Sizzle, sizzle!"

Before they even made a move, they used their Yuanzheng Law Power to activate Profound Ability and collide with it. In the instant they saw the giant shadow, the expressions of the six Spirit Transformation Venerable / Fifth-Realm Demon Venerable all changed slightly, their bodies became burning hot, and an unstoppable Samsara life and death energy rose from the depths of their Dantian.

Birth and death Samsara reincarnation, Samsara Reincarnation.

Faced with this overwhelming and all-encompassing Samsara aura, the six powerful Kongming Realm from the Void Realm all revealed despair in their eyes, feeling an immense terror as if it were a bone-deep infection. Meanwhile...

However, in just three days, the sky-covering, Three Aspects dragon-fox figure was suddenly destroyed, transforming into an eight-tailed, sky-hanging, Eight-Tailed Void Fox Phantom that could cause all realms to rise and fall.

"It's done." Chen Beiwu's mind relaxed.

With the help of the Pure Source Wonderful Dao Profound Ability, he spent a great deal of Dharma Form Yuanzheng to finally bring the transformation of Zhiling's Bloodline back on track.

However, refining the Bloodline Ancestor Phantom would take time, so Chen Beiwu did not interfere much. Instead, he enjoyed tea and discussed the Dao with Kongming Ancestor, talking about the cultivation of Spirit Transformation Venerable.

"The Kongming Great Dao and Darkness is the foundation of all things in heaven and earth. Emptiness means void; heaven has Void, earth has dark crevices. Without emptiness and darkness, all things have nowhere to dwell, and all phenomena would be hidden. Therefore, the Kongming Great Dao can be used to build bridges, leading directly to the Immortal Sects..."

As he spoke, the True Form of Law Power above the palm of the Kongming Ancestor suddenly changed, manifesting a vast realm of "All things return to the void, following the origin of emptiness." Chen Beiwu had received the Dharma bestowed by the Ruins Stele and had also cultivated and summarized the Immortal Method Void Treasury Heavenly Book, so his understanding of the Void Great Dao was no less than that of any Spirit Transformation Venerable. However, when he sensed this realm of magic, a glimmer of enlightenment arose in Chen Beiwu's heart, and the Clear Source Origin Jie within his body subconsciously circulated. He even deduced further along this realm of magic, and sensed a chance to touch upon the opportunity of "Flower Zheng Dispersing Form, Dharma Images All True."

Seeing Chen Beiwu's thoughtful expression, the Kongming Ancestor remained calm.

With his insightful perspective, he could naturally see that Chen Beiwu was now only a hair's breadth away from the Spirit Transformation Peak realm.

This path is neither particularly difficult nor easy; it all depends on one's spiritual cultivation and understanding.

If the other party can cross this line, they only need to spend a few hundred years accumulating Law Power to advance to the Spirit Transformation Peak.

Conversely, if the other party cannot overcome this hurdle, it will take thousands, even tens of thousands of years to slowly wear them down.

Therefore, in order to make Chen Beiwu owe him another great favor, the Kongming Ancestor, a dignified "Union with the Dao" cultivator, spared no expense to expend his own Origin and actively evolved the essence of the Kongming Great Dao for him.

"Buzz!"

After an unknown amount of time, when Chen Beiwu came to his senses, the Eight-Tailed Void Fox Phantom that had blotted out the Firmament had slowly dissipated.

Meanwhile, the Three Flowers and Five Essences within his body draw upon the Dharma-Form Origin Awareness, constantly cleansing his limbs and bones, before returning to merge into the Heaven and Earth Manifestation, forming a cycle. "Fellow Daoist, your Comprehension is remarkable. You have seen through the essence of the Three Flowers Transforming into Xi the Yuanxi and the Five Zheng Flowing Together in just one Dao discussion, and your cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the late stage," praised Kongming Ancestor.

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Kongming's guidance, I'm afraid it would have taken me decades of cultivation to reach this First Realm," Chen Beiwu said softly.

Although he was fully aware of the Kongming Ancestor's intentions, he had no choice but to accept this favor.

If Kongming Ancestor sincerely submits, he will say a few good words for him to the Sect's higher-ups to repay this Cause and Effect.

"Eek!"

Just then, Zhiling successfully refined the remnant image of her Bloodline ancestor and fully unleashed the Great Freedom Void-Heaven Domain.

This realm manifests Freedom Without Form, capable of giving World-Birth Transformation, and naturally can also help Zhiling further advance her Dao Practice, thus smoothly stepping into the Second Return-to-Venerable Calamity [Blood Tempering and Spirit Condensation].

10,000 years of Dao Practice!

13,000 years of Dao Practice!

16,000 years of Dao Practice!

Perhaps because she swallowed the Dragon-Nurturing Fruit, or perhaps because the gap Shared Cultivation levels was too great, Zhiling's Dao Practice showed no signs of decline and surged to 18,000 years in one go.

Then it began to transform its immortal body, condense the Bloodline True Form, and form a unique Creation True Spirit.

"Nine Rounds of Blood Tempering and Spirit Condensation, reaching the limit, is a safe bet."

Chen Beiwu closed his eyes slightly and waited quietly.

The Third Return-to-Venerable Calamity is a tribulation of Bloodline.

This tribulation is fundamental to the Bloodline True Form of the Fifth-Realm Demon Venerable. Even Contract cultivators cannot interfere through the Companion Beast Contract; at most, they can only provide some Dharma-Form Origin Awareness. Whether or not Zhiling can overcome this tribulation depends entirely on her own Creation.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Chen Beiwu had already given Zhiling a Creation Return-to-Venerable Pill and a small piece of Five-Colored Vine in advance.

In this way, even if Zhiling fails to condense her Bloodline True Form in the end, her foundation will not be severely damaged, and her life will not be endangered.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Alliance, in the Great Luo Heaven.

The Guangcheng Dao Domain is located on a beautiful and sacred peak.

A gentle-looking young man raised an eyebrow slightly and looked behind him.

A magnificent Silver White, pure white with vertical stripes on its forehead and snow-white fur, seemed to tread on air, its four paws never touching a speck of dust. Its eight tails swayed gently behind it, gleaming like transparent silver in the Great Sun, creating an indescribable beauty.

"Why are you here?" asked Dao Venerable Guangcheng.

The Eight-Tailed Void Fox lowered its head slightly, its tone respectful. "This disciple dares to request that Master intervene once."

What is it that makes you so serious?

Dao Venerable Guangcheng pretended not to know and smiled as he spoke.

"My daughter is currently on the path to becoming Fifth-Realm Demon Venerable, but she still lacks a bit of foundation. Therefore, I would like to request Master to bestow upon her a drop of Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox blood."

The Eight-Tailed Void Fox was about to bow in respect when it was stopped by an invisible force.

"So that's what it is." Dao Venerable Guangcheng pondered for a moment, then looked up at his disciple. "A drop of Void Heavenly Fox blood is a bit lacking. How about replacing it with Marrow Blood?" Upon hearing this, the Eight-Tailed Void Fox's pupils contracted, and its eyes could not hide its surprise.

Void Heavenly Fox Blood and Void Heavenly Fox Marrow Blood may seem to differ by only one character, but in reality, they are worlds apart.

The reason is simple: the former is just a drop of blood casually forced out by a peerless demon, while the latter is blood containing a trace of the power of the Void Heavenly Fox Bloodline, containing terrifying power that cannot be withstood by those who are not direct descendants.

It's no exaggeration to say that even a peerless Peerless Demon Venerable wouldn't dare to recklessly devour a single drop of the Marrow Blood of Primordial Chaos Dao Beast, lest they explode and die. "This disciple dares not hope for too much; a drop of Heavenly Fox blood is enough," the Eight-Tailed Void Fox quickly said.

The Dao Venerable's abundant blessings are not necessarily a good thing.

To put it bluntly, with its daughter's aptitude, she couldn't even withstand half a drop of Heavenly Fox Marrow Blood.

"It's nothing, just a drop of Marrow Blood." Dao Venerable Guangcheng shook his head and gently touched it with his fingertip.

In an instant, the Void shattered, and a drop of Silver White blood, about the size of a thumb, quietly appeared.

This drop of Marrow Blood was quite strange; it neither carried the will of the Void Heavenly Fox nor leaked any energy, resembling an ordinary Silver White crystal.

Only those at the Half-Step Void Refinement or higher could barely detect the slightest anomaly.

The instant this drop of Heavenly Fox Marrow Blood appeared, countless Hengsha Worlds spontaneously converged upon the Great Luo Heaven.

Under the watchful gaze of the Eight-Tailed Void Fox, Dao Venerable Guangcheng lightly flicked his fingertips, forcibly separating a quarter of the Marrow Blood in his hand, and then flicked his finger to collect the remaining Marrow Blood.

"Alright, this matter is settled. You should now focus on your cultivation and break through the Primordial Unity stage as soon as possible."

Dao Venerable Guangcheng advised, "Your cultivation has been too lax. If you continue like this, your daughter might catch up with you in the future." Hearing this, the Eight-Tailed Void Fox was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Thank you for your Dao Venerable words, Daozun. If my A-Zhi can surpass me one day, I will die without regret."

It is an unparalleled Peerless Demon Venerable with Dao Practice level of 99,999 years.

If A-Zhi can surpass it and become Sixth-Realm Demon Saint who has broken through the Primordial Unity and whose Bloodline has transformed into Dao Beast.

Dao Venerable Guangcheng gave the Eight-Tailed Void Fox a deep look, but did not speak.

Chen Beiwu the Void Refinement aptitude, Companion Beast he formed Contract with naturally has some hope of becoming Primordial Chaos Dao Beast; otherwise, he wouldn't have interfered with the junior's breakthrough today.

On the other side, Zhiling opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion.

"Eek?" (Where am I?)

It turned its head, looked around, and saw a gray and white world.

"Call out!"

Zhiling activated her Escape Light and found herself wandering outside these worlds, unable to get close no matter how she moved.

Zhiling was jolted awake when a strong threat suddenly came from above.

"Eek!" (I remember now, this is the calamity of my Bloodline!)

A sudden thought flashed through Zhiling's mind, and she immediately retreated, only to find that she could not shake off the danger coming from above.

Boom!

Just then, a flash of Silver White streaked past, Zhiling's body stiffened as a sharp pain shot through her chest.

It cried out in pain, looked down, and found a bloody hole pierced through its chest. Its heart was long gone, leaving only a Silver White crystal spinning around.

"What is this thing? The energy feels so familiar!"

The thought flashed through Zhiling's mind in an instant, her fur bristled, and the nascent Bloodline True Form surged wildly, causing her breathing to become extremely rapid. Rumble!

With each breath, it seemed as if the sounds of wind and thunder arose, blurring Zhiling's flesh, bones, and internal organs into a single mass, as if her physical body was being rebuilt, or as if she were recreating the body of a celestial fox.

"Buzz!"

At the critical moment, the Creation Return-to-Venerable Pill and the Five-Colored Vine that Zhiling had taken took effect, keeping its Divine Sense clear and preventing it from completely fainting. They even further maintained the balance of its Bloodline.

January!

Two months!

March!

Chen Beiwu sensed something and opened his eyes.

A beam of Silver White light shot into the sky, converging into profound and Dao Resonance.

Zhiling bathed in the depths of the Silver White pillar of light, merging with various Dao Resonance as time passed, until the Bloodline True Form was completely forged and her appearance changed drastically. Only then did she open her eyes and step out from the pillar of light.

At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the bright Lunar Essence shone down from the clouds. Zhiling could not suppress her joy and looked at Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu looked up and met Zhiling's gaze, causing him to pause slightly in surprise.

"Wow! (So beautiful!)"

Golden Egg stared wide-eyed at Zhiling, its Three Pairs of Dragon Eyes wide with disbelief.

This beauty wasn't merely physical charm, but rather an inexplicable, pure quality that stirred a feeling of pity and protectiveness in the dragon. "Huh?" (Could this be the legendary fox clan's allure?)

Xuele couldn't help but purse her lips, suppressing the inexplicable fondness rising in her heart.

What an exaggerated charm!

Even the Taiyi Sword Vine, which has no gender and only likes flowers and plants, can be so captivated by Zhiling. Wouldn't anyone else be even more unable to resist Zhiling charm?

Thinking of this, Xuele couldn't help but look at Chen Beiwu.

How are you feeling?

Chen Beiwu temporarily suppressed the feedback from the Companion Beast Contract, and gently stroked Zhiling's head.

Zhiling narrowed her eyes, the tips of her ears gleaming with a faint pink luster, possessing a pure and elegant charm like snow-covered plum blossoms, making it impossible to look away. Upon seeing this scene, even the usually loyal Iron Egg's eyes flashed, needing to activate the Bloodline True Form his Sun and Moon Waxing and Waning Bloodline to maintain his Spiritual Terrace clarity and not be swayed by the fox's allure.

"Roar!" (Wait, how did you become a mid-stage Demon Venerable?!)

Upon noticing the change in Zhiling's Spiritual Qi, Golden Egg was taken aback.

That Dragon-Nurturing Fruit was indeed powerful; it allowed Zhiling to simultaneously attain the Dao of Demon Venerable and rapidly advance to the First Realm.

"Eek." (No, not at all)

Zhiling looked down at her heart.

Its intuition told it that although the Dragon-Nurturing Fruit was effective, it was far less effective than even one-tenth of the Silver White crystal.

To put it bluntly, if that mysterious crystal hadn't suddenly appeared, it would have taken at least several decades to successfully overcome the tribulation of its Bloodline. Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart stirred slightly.

With the attention of a sect's Daoist master, he didn't believe any demons or monsters would dare to cause trouble.

However, just to be on the safe side, he planned to investigate the origin of the crystal to rule out any potential problems.

"Hey!" (That crystal has a bit of Father's aura!)

Sensing Beiwu's thoughts, Zhiling quickly used her Divine Sense sense to remind him.
