Translator: 549690339
Perhaps for the majority of the Tang Clan’s members, this was just an ordinary spring hunt. Only the core members were aware that this hunt was crucial to the future development of the Tang Clan.
In the Fox Immortal Temple, the Tang Clan’s tribal chieftains, sect leaders, elders, Sect Heads, and thirteen elders, along with three branch representatives, Tang Luo, Xu Lao Ying, Ji Fu, and even the five ruthless warriors of the Slaughter Immortal Army were present.
The original statue of the fox immortal had been moved aside, revealing a seemingly infinite pit hole, which was the original entrance to the temple.
Ji Fu, leading the way while holding the Boundary Breaking Stone, was followed closely by Xu Lao Ying and Tang Luo, while the remaining individuals filed in one after another.
This entrance, though small, led to a labyrinthine network of caves. If not for Ji Fu and his Boundary Breaking Stone, which were able to sense their destination, everyone present would likely have gotten lost in this convolution of tunnels.
After traversing countless winding tunnels, Ji Fu led the group to a vast underground cavern adorned with shiny, multicolored crystals that were extraordinarily beautiful.
“We are here.” Ji Fu stopped in the middle of the cavern and addressed the group behind him, “This is the entrance to the Minor Spiritual Realm.” “This is truly well-hidden,” Xu Lao Ying admired, his sharp Tongyou Intention vaguely sensing that this cavern seemed to link to another world. A typical Minor Spiritual Realm is located within a mountain cave, but one concealed underground like this is rare. No wonder it was chosen as the Han Family’s treasury in Dragon Town.
At such a time, only Xu Lao Ying could engage in conversation, since all the Tang Clan members were seeing the Minor Spiritual Realm for the first time. Even after being led here by Ji Fu, they were still clueless about how to open the gate to the Spirit Realm, so they simply quietly stood by, watching Ji Fu with his Boundary Breaking Stone attentively.
Ji Fu, holding the Boundary Breaking Stone, leapt into the air and punched a crystal column hanging from the cave wall, pulverizing it.
An inverted stone platform appeared at the base of the crystal column. In the middle of the platform was a shape that perfectly matched the white jade stone. Ji Fu inserted the Boundary Breaking Stone into the platform, landed back on the ground, and said to the group, “Move aside, the gate to the Minor Spiritual Realm is about to open.”
Obediently, the group moved aside. After the Boundary Breaking Stone, which glowed with a milky white light, was placed into the stone platform, the scattered light converged into a beam that landed precisely in the center of the cave, remaining fixed.
The white light gathered more and more, melting the ground and opening a door illuminated with white light. However, the door was shrouded in a faint white fog, obscuring the view inside.
After the door was opened, Ji Fu formed a hand seal, and a silver beam of light shot into the fogged-up door dispersing the white mist, revealing the world beyond the door.
Looking through the door on the ground, one could see a boundless grassland. Just as Ji Fu was about to retract his hand seal and lead everyone into the Minor Spiritual Realm, an old voice came from the door, “Son of the Han Clan, are you here to release me?”
At the sound of this inquiry, the entire portal began to tremble, causing the group to lose color in shock and exchange puzzled looks.
Ji Fu was likewise stunned and shouted, “Who are you?”
“Hehehehe!” The eerie laughter made the entire Spirit Realm Gate tremble the aged voice was filled with hatred, “The despicable Han Wu sealed me for twelve hundred years, and you don’t know who I am?”
Everyone was severely shocked because Han Wu was another name for Saint Han, and there was no doubt that the decrepit voice belonged to the Demon King – the Nine-tailed Fox Demon, sealed within the Minor Spiritual Realm. The mere mention of Saint Han’s name threw Ji Fu into a fury. “You’re just a lowly fox demon and yet dare to openly mention the holy one’s name. You’re just a remnant of a soul, how dare you behave so audaciously!?” There was no mistake in the Han Family’s records, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon had nine lives. Saint Han trapped the Fox Demon in the Fulong Array, cut off its nine tails and trapped its soul in the Minor Spiritual Realm. It was unknown how the fox demon was able to break the control of the soul curse and recover its consciousness. A Demon King without a physical form wasn’t something to be feared.
As long as a warrior had achieved the unity of spirit and intent, and harbored no fear towards the fox demon, it would have no means to harm the warrior. A soul temptation without support from spiritual power at most could affect only insects and beasts without intelligence.
“Hehehehe! Kid, you’re right, I’m just a remnant of a soul!” The aged voice frankly admitted its circumstance, turning agitated, “Don’t forget, this was originally my lair. Without my permission, you cannot enter this Minor Spiritual Realm.”
While speaking, the Spirit Realm Gate narrowed visibly and was on the verge of closing.
Caught off guard, Ji Fu hurriedly formed several hand seals. Several silver beams of light were shot consecutively into the gate, halting the closing of the Spirit Realm Gate.
An eerie whimper from the Nine-tailed Fox Demon echoed from inside the gate!
The Spirit-binding Array left by Han Clan ancestors was designed to prevent this very situation. If the guardian spirit ran amok, the Spirit-binding Array could be activated to restrain it.
The restrained Fox Demon, now provoked, snarled, “So, the disgraceful Han insists on insulting me like this, then let’s all die together!”
A loud rumbling echoed from the gate, the entire grassland beyond the gate began shaking, and the universe’s color changed.
As the guardian spirit, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon’s soul was connected to the Spirit Realm. Now, the Demon King had exploded part of its soul causing a serious injury to the guardian spirit, making the whole Minor Spiritual Realm tremble.
“Damn it!” Ji Fu hadn’t expected the Demon King’s soul fragment to be this explosive. If the Demon King’s soul completely exploded, then the Minor Spiritual Realm would be destroyed and fragments of illusions would scatter. To find them would be like chasing a fantasy.
Ji Fu’s hands blurred, shooting hundreds of silver lights consecutively into the gate. The Spirit-binding Array was activated at full power, firmly restraining the weakened Fox Demon King so it couldn’t continue exploding.
Ji Fu tried mediating, “Nine-tailed Fox King, you were once a supreme ancient Demon King. Do you really want to die like this!?”
“Hehehehe!” The eerie laughter echoed again. The aged voice was weak but full of resentment, “Life? When Han Wu proposed a fair fight, stating that if I win, my lineage will be spared and we will coexist peacefully. He, however, used the Fulong Array to lay a trap and teamed up with another winged bird person to besiege me. And you dare to speak to me of life?”
Having been killed by the Fulong Array during his lifetime and with only his soul remnants leftafter death, tormented by the Spirit-binding Array, it was no wonder why the Nine-tailed Fox King hated them so.
Upon hearing about the disgraceful gossip about the holy person, the members of the Tang Clan all averted their gaze from Ji Fu’s face, pretending as if nothing had happened, whereas Ji Fu could not brush it off.
Because he knew the Nine-tailed Fox King was likely telling the truth because the battle posture of Saint An wasn’t something the Fox Demon could fabricate.
“War is full of deceit, humans and demons have been mortal enemies since the beginning. Your defeat is due to your own foolishness. Why talk about fairness or deceit?” Ji Fu replied bluntly, “In ancient times, the demons fed on humans. Without the saints coming together, today wouldn’t be the prime time for humans.”
As for why humans could defeat the mighty Demon Race, it was due to their unity and tactics. As far as Ji Fu was concerned, there was nothing insidious about this..
