The Dutian Fox Temple was an important place in the Celestial Fox Tribal Nation. In modern times, it was similar to a temple with the most incense.
Once a Heavenly Fox was born in Hudu, its parents and clan would pray for blessings. When a Celestial Fox died, she would also be cremated at the Celestial Fox Temple.
Even Celestial Fox from other cities would go to the Celestial Fox Temple to burn incense and worship their ancestors when they arrived at Hu City.
The news of the second round of the Celestial Fox Saintess Selection Ceremony, the theory test, was held at the Celestial Fox Temple. The next day, the crowd that came to the Celestial Fox Temple to spectate almost flattened the stone steps of the Celestial Fox Temple.
When the Third Elder, who was in charge of hosting the second round of the theory test, saw the situation, he had no choice but to deploy three thousand Celestial Fox soldiers to block the crowd outside.
After resting for a night, Yun Sheng stepped into the Celestial Fox Temple.
What greeted him was a series of antique buildings, pavilions, terraces, and pagodas. Between the buildings, there was a large pool of green water.
The pond was sparkling, and in the middle was an ivory statue that was almost a hundred meters tall. The statue was lifelike, and it was a Celestial Fox. Behind it were eight shocking tails.
Anyone who had been to the Dutian Fox Temple would know that this statue was built by the people of the Celestial Fox Tribal Nation to commemorate the strongest Celestial Fox People in the history of the Celestial Fox People, Hu Yan.
Back then, when the humans of the Boundless Continent and the Bhakra Orcs clashed, Celestial Fox Hu Yan and the chief of the Black Qilin Tribe, Ye Xiu, sacrificed their lives to stop the humans from the Eight Barren Lands.
They helped the Bhakra Orcs escape to the Eight Barren Lands and preserve their bloodline, making an indelible contribution.
It was just a pity that in the end, Hu Yan died in battle in the Boundless World. Even the Celestial Fox relic's whereabouts were unknown.
The written exam this time was held by the pond under the statue of Celestial fox People Chang Huyan.
A large number of Celestial Fox soldiers blocked the crowd a kilometer away from the pond. More than 20 Saintesses from the ten capital cities gathered by the pond.
Lu, Hu Ruolan, and the others had just arrived.
Although the crowd was densely packed, the Gray Feather Guard had a cold expression on his face. When he swept his gaze over the crowd, the people beside him were so scared that they immediately took a few steps back.
Lu and Hu Ruolan easily arrived in front of them.
His green eyes turned and swept across the twenty or so Saintess candidates in Celestial Fox's group.
Noticing that Hu Linglong was among them, Green's eyes flashed with unconcealable disgust.
As expected, that woman was also there.
Hu Ruolan saw that the Celestial Fox Saintess candidates were all gorgeously dressed. Thinking that her daughter's life was unknown at this time, she felt a burst of bitterness in her heart.
"They're all coquettish women. I really don't know what the old patriarch sees in them." Yaoji pouted disdainfully.
At this moment, Yaoji's gaze changed. She noticed a particularly eye-catching masked woman in the crowd.
"Why is she here?" Yaoji was naturally referring to Yun Sheng.
Among these Celestial Fox Saintesses, only Yun Sheng was masked. Therefore, when Yaoji mentioned her, the others also noticed her.
"That person is the female doctor in Cangdu. She was the one who got in our way earlier." Yaoji had always been brooding about Yun Sheng.
She was clearly a female doctor in Cangdu. How did she suddenly become a Saintess candidate? There must be something strange in this.
"Is this the woman you said could summon the sub-divine beast?" Lu could not help but pay more attention to the masked woman.
Unfortunately, the crowd was too far away. He could barely see her back.
"Silence!" Third Elder held a box in his hand with a solemn expression.
He led more than 20 Celestial Fox Saintess candidates and bowed respectfully to the fox statue of Patriarch Hu Yan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, the Celestial Fox Saintess represents the Celestial Fox Clan. Not only is she of noble lineage, but she is also good at both civil and martial arts. After an overnight discussion between the patriarch, the Council of Elders, and the Great Witch Doctor. The content of the culture test for the Celestial Fox Saintess selection has been confirmed. It is in this box in my hand. "Third Elder said with conviction.
The eyes of more than 20 candidates lit up. They stared at the box with shining eyes.
Hu Linglong looked at the box with a hint of joy at the corner of her mouth.
This time, even God was on her side.
"The content of the culture test is related to Patriarch Hu Yan of the Celestial Fox People. You will need to learn Patriarch Hu Yan's famous witchcraft, the Corpse Puppet Technique, in one Hour." As soon as Third Elder finished speaking, the crowd became restless.
Corpse Puppet Technique. As soon as these three words were mentioned, the Celestial Fox Clan became restless. Even the expressions of more than 20 candidates changed slightly.
The Corpse Puppet Technique was said to be the unique Sorcery Technique of the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Fox Clan, Hu Yan. Back then, she had used this Sorcery Technique to make the pursuers of the Human Clan change sides at the last moment of the war between the Human Clan and the Beast Clan in the Boundless Continent, thus delaying the Human Clan's progress.
Regarding this witchcraft skill, the upper echelons of the Celestial Fox Tribal Nation had always regarded it as a treasure. They worshipped and preserved it.
In the Celestial Fox Tribal Nation, there were only a handful of people who knew the Corpse Puppet Technique.
They did not expect that this Celestial Fox Saintess Selection Ceremony would include the Corpse Puppet Technique as the content of the culture test.
For the more than 20 candidates of the Celestial Fox Clan, this had both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage was that even if they were not selected in the end, they would still learn the Corpse Puppet Technique. For them, even if they were not selected and returned to the capital city, their status in their respective cities or clans would be greatly improved.
The disadvantage was that since the Corpse Puppet Technique was one of the witchcraft skills that made Patriarch Hu Yan of the Celestial Fox People famous, it was no ordinary witchcraft skill. In just two short hours, it was practically impossible for him to learn and apply the technique.
As soon as Third Elder finished speaking, more than 20 meditation magic arrays floated above the open pond. A scroll was placed in each magic array.
In the next one Hour, these candidates of the Saintess would meditate in the magic arrays and comprehend the Corpse Puppet Technique.
It was the Corpse Puppet Technique?
Without batting an eyelid, Yun Sheng chose one of the magic arrays and walked over.
She noticed that Hu Linglong could not hide the smile on her face.
As for Yu Shang and Lu Yunshuang, their expressions were very calm.
The more than 20 candidates of the Celestial Fox Saintess opened the scroll as soon as they entered the magic array.
"What's this?" Yun Sheng frowned. The ancient characters of Celestial Fox were written on the scroll.
The candidates of the Celestial Fox Saintess had also opened their scrolls.
Some people could not help but grumble softly when they saw the ancient characters of Celestial Fox.
The ancient characters of Celestial Fox were recorded in an ancient language. In today's Celestial Fox Clan, only those purebred Celestial Fox clans with ancient family roots and some nobles would learn it.
It was impossible for ordinary Celestial Fox hybrids to learn the ancient characters of Celestial Fox.
More than 30% of the candidates of the Celestial Fox Saintess this time were Celestial Fox hybrids. One could imagine how many candidates of the Saintess were stumped by the ancient characters of the "Corpse Puppet Technique".
As expected … they were discriminating against Celestial Fox hybrids. However, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you again this time. Yun Sheng sneered in her heart.
