Blood-Colored Pool Water

Upon hearing the name Chen Beijing, the Heavenly Fox Queen was immediately taken aback.

The other Demon Race in the arena were also shocked.

Although their Celestial Fox clan lived deep in the Western Regions, they were still aware of Chen Beijing's great name.

This person is currently the most prominent figure on Canglan Star.

Not long ago, this person even killed six demon lords from their Western Regions.

When this matter reached the Western Regions, it caused quite a stir.

Many Demon Race hated this cultivator named Chen Beijing.

Because the Demon Race itself doesn't have many strong individuals, the deaths of six demon lords nearly halved the strength of the Demon God Palace.

The ferocious tiger, already on the verge of death and trampled under Chen Feng's feet, was also filled with horror.

He never expected that the person in front of him was actually the famous Chen Beijing.

He had previously threatened to kill the other person.

Thinking of this, Sha Hu's body couldn't help but tremble.

The surrounding Demon Race soldiers immediately began to retreat.

A person's reputation precedes them, and Chen Beijing's fame was truly too great.

Even though the Demon Race race is naturally arrogant, they still feel fear when facing such a powerful being.

At this moment, a cunning voice rang out in the arena:

"I am the Zhenjiao, the guardian beast of the Xingfeng Sect!"

After speaking, Zhengjiao looked around.

But everyone ignored Zheng Jiao's words and their eyes remained fixed on Chen Feng.

The cunning expression on his face froze instantly.

"Hey, didn't you hear me?"

Since they've already given their names, these people should at least give some kind of response.

This behavior, where they wouldn't even look at him, infuriated him.

The Heavenly Fox Queen stared at Chen Feng:

"So you are Chen Beijing? How dare you come to the Western Regions? Aren't you afraid that the Demon God will capture you? And what are you doing here in our Heavenly Fox Dynasty?"

At this moment, the Heavenly Fox Queen's vigilance reached its peak.

She had previously been confident that she could put up a fight against the opponent using the legacy of the Celestial Fox Clan.

But after hearing that the other party was Chen Beijing, she gave up on that idea.

Such a being, capable of single-handedly killing six half-step Nascent Spirit Transformation, is simply beyond the capabilities of their Celestial Fox Clan.

In the entire Western Regions, perhaps only a demon god could subdue this person.

Chen Feng spoke up:

"I came here to make a deal with you, but as soon as I arrived at your noble residence, your men attacked me, which is why we are in this situation now."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the Heavenly Fox Queen immediately looked at a Demon Race soldier beside her.

The Demon Race soldiers quickly recounted what had just happened.

After hearing the Demon Race soldiers' words, the Heavenly Fox Queen's face immediately turned ugly. She looked at the Fiend Tiger and said:

"Fiend Tiger, you almost brought disaster upon our Heavenly Fox Clan! I warned you before not to act so arrogantly, but you not only ignored me but also went even further. This time it was Sect Master Chen who came; if it had been anyone else, you would certainly not have survived today."

The ferocious tiger, trampled under Chen Feng's feet, immediately showed a look of shame on its face:

"Your Majesty, this matter is my fault. Whatever the consequences, I, Sha Hu, am willing to bear them all."

Hearing their conversation, Chen Feng said coldly:

"Alright, don't try to pin this on me. I won't kill him. I'm just here to discuss a deal."

Chen Feng naturally understood the meaning behind the Heavenly Fox Queen's words.

I said that just now to get him to release the evil tiger.

The Heavenly Fox Queen's exquisite face immediately broke into a captivating smile:

"Sect Leader Chen, your magnanimity is truly admirable. May I ask if Sect Leader Chen would be so kind as to come into the palace for a chat?"

Chen Feng lifted the foot that was pressing down on the ferocious tiger:

"If you had done this earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."

The Heavenly Fox Queen immediately gestured for Chen Feng to proceed:

"Sect Leader Chen, please."

Chen Feng did not refuse, and his figure disappeared from the scene along with the Heavenly Fox Queen.

After the two left, discussions began to rise in the square.

"That person is Chen Beijin? The Chen Beijin who single-handedly killed six demon lords?"

"If Her Majesty the Empress isn't this polite to everyone, it must be Chen Beijing without a doubt."

"How dare he come to the Western Regions, and what is he doing here with our Celestial Fox Clan? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Her Majesty the Empress?"

"That's certainly possible. I've heard that human cultivators are very fond of our fox-fox women, and many powerful cultivators have secretly come to the Western Regions to capture our fox-fox women in the past."

The surrounding Demon Race were all talking about it.

Only then did the ferocious tiger crawl out of the deep pit.

His entire body was covered in blood, and his head had been split open with a huge gash. He looked at the group of Demon Race soldiers and said coldly:

"Listen up, all of you. No one is to tell anyone what just happened. If I find out, you know what will happen."

Sha Hu's voice was filled with cold indifference.

He had just received a telepathic message from the Heavenly Fox Empress, instructing him to keep Chen Feng's visit to their Heavenly Fox Dynasty a secret.

Although Sha Hu didn't understand why the Heavenly Fox Queen did this.

But as a subordinate, Sha Hu's job is simply to get things done.

Moreover, what happened today almost brought disaster upon the Heavenly Fox Dynasty.

The surrounding Demon Race soldiers all nodded immediately upon hearing this.

The Demon Race is very united; they don't have as many ulterior motives as humans.

If we're talking about information blocking, then basically no one dares to spread anything.

Inside a grand hall of the Heavenly Fox Imperial Palace.

The Heavenly Fox Queen brought Chen Feng here.

Inside the main hall were more than a dozen fox spirits dressed in thin veils, each one of them stunningly beautiful.

Chen Feng looked around. The main hall was made of a kind of jade similar to crystal, and the overall decoration was in a feminine style.

The voice of the Heavenly Fox Queen came:

"Sect Leader Chen, please take a seat."

Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony and immediately walked over and sat down.

The Celestial Fox Queen sat opposite him.

Chen Feng glanced at the Heavenly Fox Empress.

He discovered that although the other person had seven very long tails, these seven tails automatically separated when she sat down, without affecting her in any way.

"My name is Su Wu. Sect Leader Chen, you may simply call me by my name. The matter before was a misunderstanding. I was in seclusion at the time. If I had known that Sect Leader Chen was coming, I would certainly have personally greeted you."

Su Wu spoke softly.

After learning that Chen Feng meant no harm, Su Wu visibly relaxed.

At the same time, she was also sizing up Chen Feng.

She had only heard of Chen Feng before, and seeing him in person was a real surprise to her.

At this moment, a fox spirit walked over with a tray and placed a glass of pink liquid in front of Chen Feng.

Su Wu said with a charming smile:

"Sect Leader Chen, this is the Fox Maiden Wine of my Heavenly Fox Dynasty. It cannot be tasted outside. One sip will make you feel like you're dying of pleasure."

Chen Feng picked up the wine glass and examined it for a while. He noticed that the wine had a special aroma.

The cunning beast perched on Chen Feng's shoulder then spoke:

"Fellow Daoist, this Fox Maiden Wine is very famous among the Demon Race. You should try it; it's absolutely delicious."

Chen Feng glanced at Zheng Jiao, his expression calm.

If Zhengjiao is so eager to make him drink this wine, then there must be something wrong with it.

When Zheng Jiao saw Chen Feng looking at him, he immediately explained:

"This Fox Maiden Wine is brewed using the saliva of a thousand virgin fox maidens, along with various heavenly materials and earthly treasures. One sip will plunge you into a brief illusion, and the feeling is simply indescribable. Many cultivators of your human race were very fond of this wine back then."

Upon hearing Zheng Jiao's explanation, Chen Feng decisively put down his wine glass.

He couldn't drink wine made from other people's saliva, regardless of whether the person was a virgin or not.

Su Wu then looked at the monstrous tattoo on Chen Feng's shoulder and said in surprise:

"I didn't expect that this fellow Daoist would know so much about our Heavenly Fox Clan's Fox Maiden Wine. Judging from your appearance, you are also Demon Beast. May I ask what race you are?"

Upon hearing this, Zhengjiao immediately straightened his body:

"I am the guardian beast of the Xingfeng Sect. I visited your Heavenly Fox Clan back then, before you were the Heavenly Fox Queen."

Hearing this, Su Wu was startled and looked closely at Zheng Jiao.

But no matter how she scanned with her Divine Sense, she couldn't discover what realm Zheng Jiao was at.

This greatly surprised her.

"Enough with the pleasantries, Fellow Daoist Su. I've come here to make a deal with your Heavenly Fox Clan," Chen Feng interrupted their conversation.

Su Wu's expression also became serious:

"Sect Leader Chen, what do you wish to trade?"

Su Wu was also very curious about what Chen Feng wanted to trade.

"I've heard that your noble family possesses a Heavenly Illusion Pool that dates back to High Antiquity times. Demon Beast and cultivators who enter this pool will experience a series of illusions, making it a supreme treasure for tempering State of Mind. I wonder if this pool still exists?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng inquire about the Heavenly Illusion Pool, Su Wu's expression instantly changed.

"So this is what Sect Leader Chen came for. I'm afraid he'll be disappointed."

Chen Feng frowned. "What? This thing is no longer considered noble's possession?"

He came here specifically for the Heavenly Illusion Pool; otherwise, his advancement to the Spirit Transformation stage would be delayed for a long time.

Su Wu shook her head and said:

"The Heavenly Illusion Pool is located within the palace. Many human cultivators came to use this pool many years ago, but they all eventually gave up."

"Why is that?" Chen Feng pressed.

Su Wu explained, "People only know that our Heavenly Fox Clan's Heavenly Illusion Pool can temper State of Mind, but they don't know that once a cultivator enters this pool, they will remain immersed in the illusion until their lifespan ends and they die. Only the powerful Primordial Spirit of Spirit Transformation cultivator can escape this illusion."

"But now that you've reached the Spirit Transformation, the Heavenly Illusion Pool is no longer of any use."

Su Wu's words made Chen Feng's face turn ugly.

He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Illusion Pool would have such a drawback.

Once a cultivator enters, they will remain immersed in the illusion, rendering the device practically useless.

Su Wu said with a wry smile:

"If the Heavenly Illusion Pool had no drawbacks and could help cultivators achieve a perfect State of Mind, how could our Heavenly Fox Clan have fallen to such a state of decline?"

Chen Feng turned his gaze to Zheng Jiao, who had told him about the Heavenly Illusion Pool.

When Zheng Jiao saw Chen Feng looking at him, he quickly asked Su Wu:

"I heard back then that a human cultivator emerged from the Heavenly Illusion Pool. Could that be a lie?"

Zheng Jiao was also afraid that Chen Feng would blame him for this, after all, he was the one who sent Chen Feng to the Western Regions.

Su Wu said:

"Back then, someone did indeed emerge from the Heavenly Illusion Pool, but that person's situation was somewhat special. He was only one step away from the Spirit Transformation stage, and he happened to break through to the Spirit Transformation within the illusion, which is why he was able to escape the illusion. But how many people can do something like that?"

Chen Feng grasped the key point and pressed for an answer:

"You mean that as long as one advances to the Nascent Spirit Transformation within the illusion, one can break free from its constraints?"

Su Wu nodded. "Yes, Spirit Transformation cultivators already possess Primordial Spirit, and with the power of that Primordial Spirit, they can escape illusions."

Chen Feng said:

"Take me to see the Illusion Pool first."

Breaking through to the Spirit Transformation within an illusion might be impossible for others, but Chen Feng felt he could give it a try.

He has met almost all the conditions for Spirit Transformation, and he can return to the modern world to undergo the heavenly tribulation. He is only missing the final hurdle of his State of Mind.

At worst, he can return to the modern world to undergo tribulation first, and then come to the Heavenly Illusion Pool to temper his State of Mind.

Upon hearing this, Su Wu stood up. "Sect Leader Chen, please come with me."

Su Wu then led Chen Feng away from the palace and arrived at the back mountain of the imperial palace.

There were many fox clan soldiers guarding the area, and they all bowed to Su Wu when she arrived.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."

The Demon Race soldiers all looked surprised when they saw Chen Feng next to Su Wu.

This is a secret place for the Celestial Fox Clan, and even the high-ranking members of the Celestial Fox Clan cannot come here casually.

But Su Wu brought outsiders with her.

"Open the array in the secret realm," Su Wu instructed.

Without hesitation, the fox soldiers immediately activated the array protecting the secret area.

"Sect Leader Chen, please come in." Su Wu walked into the secret area.

Chen Feng followed behind her.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Su Wu, who was walking in front, kept wagging her seven tails as she walked, and some of them almost hit Chen Feng's face.

Zhengjiao then transmitted his voice to Chen Feng:

"Fellow Daoist, how do you think the fox's tail got through the clothes? Was it not wearing anything underneath, or did it just cut a big hole in the clothes?"

Chen Feng was pondering his future cultivation plans when he heard Zheng Jiao's words. He said coldly:

"You can ask her about this in person, or you could ask Yue Yao; she knows a lot about different styles of clothing."

Zheng gave an awkward smile, "Fellow Daoist, it's better not to ask Yue Yao. That girl has been acting strangely lately. I suspect she's gone crazy from being cooped up inside the sect."

"Something's not right? What's wrong with it?" Chen Feng asked.

He hadn't visited Yue Yao in a long time; he'd been too busy with other things lately.

Before Zheng Jiao could answer, Su Wu's voice came from the front:

"Sect Leader Chen, we've arrived. This is the Heavenly Illusion Pool."

Chen Feng looked closely and saw a pool of water in front of him; the water in the pool was red.

Above the pool, there was a lot of smoke and mist, and within this smoke and mist, Chen Feng saw many illusions.

"This is the Heavenly Illusion Pool?" Chen Feng looked surprised.

Su Wu smiled and said, "Isn't it different from the rumors? Actually, this Heavenly Illusion Pool was formed by the blood and sweat of every generation of powerful members of our Heavenly Fox Clan."

"This pool of water has existed for over ten thousand years, and the innate Divine Ability of my Celestial Fox Clan is to create illusions, which is why this pool of water can make people sink into an illusion."

Chen Feng asked, "What is the purpose of your Celestial Fox Clan creating this Celestial Illusion Pool?"

Su Wu hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Not many people know about this. Actually, it's related to the heritage of our Celestial Fox Clan. Celestial Foxes who reach the Golden Core realm can increase their chances of forming a Nascent Soul by 30% simply by drinking the water from the Celestial Illusion Pool."

"Of course, this pool of water is only effective for our Celestial Fox Clan."

Chen Feng nodded. If this pool of water could increase the probability of others forming a Nascent Soul by 30%, the Heavenly Fox Clan would have no chance of keeping such a divine object.

Increasing the probability of Nascent Soul formation by 30% is something no major power would pass up.
