"Creak."
Under the night sky, a door opened slowly.
Daji wore a simple sleeping robe and walked out of the room slowly. The wind blew her long hair and she seemed to be glowing. Even the darkness could not get close to her.
Outside the four-part architecture, the little fox was lying lazily on a tree branch. Its ears were perked up as it stared at the door, waiting in boredom.
Beside it, the Wild Boar Demon and the Black Bear Demon stood upright under the tree. They had turned into responsible bodyguards.
Beside them, the Green Snake Demon stood upright like a pole. It was the same height as the little fox and was responsible for acting as a ladder.
The Wild Boar Demon rubbed its hands nervously and nervously. It said, "My king, when can you talk to your sister and see if she can put in a good word for us in front of the expert and let us get a position?"
The Black Bear Demon's eyes lit up. "Old Boar, you should be content. Last time, you showed your face in front of the expert. You're considered a non-staff member now. I'm still working underground. It's worse."
The Green Snake Demon was also looking forward to it. It said, "If only I could stay by the expert's side. I'd be content to have a proper meal once in a while."
The little fox said helplessly, "I don't even have a proper reason to stay by the expert's side."
Suddenly, it lifted its head. Its laziness was gone. It said excitedly, "Sister!"
Then, it jumped onto the Green Snake Demon's head. The Green Snake Demon acted as an elevator and sent it down.
The Wild Boar Demon and the other demons trembled. They said respectfully, "Demon … Demon King!"
"I didn't ask you to be a Demon King to enjoy life. Now you're too lazy to walk?"
Daji was not in a good mood today. She lifted the little fox by its tail and frowned. "It's been so long. Why is it still eight tails?"
The little fox felt wronged. It said fearfully, "Sister, it's almost there. The sign of the ninth tail has already appeared."
Daji sighed slightly. "You, ah. You're too unambitious. If you can advance to Nine-Tailed as soon as possible, you'll be a legitimate Demon Emperor. If Master lacks a mount, why does he need to look for that Phoenix?"
Now that the path between immortals and mortals had been opened, the world had changed greatly. Master definitely did not want to cause any more trouble, so he simply summoned the Phoenix as the most powerful being in the courtyard.
If the little fox had become a nine-tailed beast earlier, it would have been able to replace the phoenix.
Sigh, that damned Phoenix got lucky.
Phoenix … phoenix?!
These two simple words were like thunder. They resounded in the ears of the other three monsters, causing their bodies to stiffen, turning them into statues.
So, in order to stay by the expert's side, one had to be at least as powerful as Phoenix to qualify?
He thought too much. He thought too much before.
Daji looked at the three demons and said coldly, "I seem to hear that you are dissatisfied?"
"No, absolutely not!" The Wild Boar Demon shuddered, the meat on its body trembling. It almost cried. "Actually, we're fighting for a temporary job. We'll be satisfied as long as it's a temporary job."
The Green Snake Demon and the Black Bear Demon were scared out of their wits. They nodded furiously.
Daji ignored them. She took out a small basin and handed it to the little fox. She said, "There's phoenix blood in this basin. Drink it quickly. I'll help you advance to Nine-Tailed tonight!"
"Phoenix blood?" The little fox was stunned.
This was phoenix blood. To a monster, its value was immeasurable!
This ancient blood could enhance a monster's bloodline. It was equivalent to increasing their potential.
The other three monsters' eyes turned red. They sniffed crazily, as if their lives would be complete if they took a whiff of the phoenix blood.
Daji carried the little fox and took a step forward. She flew into the forest and urged, "Hurry up and drink. I'll protect you!"
"Oh …"
The little fox hugged the basin that was about the same size as itself and gulped it down.
There was not much blood in the basin. However, as the little fox drank it, its little tummy bulged as if it had turned into a little ball.
Plop.
It threw the basin to the side and rubbed its bulging tummy with its little paws. It looked uncomfortable and its originally snow-white fur turned red.
Daji said hurriedly, "Feel this power and awaken your bloodline!"
"Ugh …" The little fox could not take it anymore and lay on the ground. "Sister, I'm so scared."
"Pfft …"
Suddenly, a chuckle sounded from the side. The Fire Phoenix had appeared on a tree and was looking at the little fox with great interest.
She chuckled. "So there's another fox. Little fox, how does my blood taste?"
Daji looked at Huo Feng and could not help but harrumph.
Huo Feng smiled. "Your sister seems a little special. This won't do. Do you want me to stimulate her with my phoenix flames?"
"No need!" Daji shook her head and walked to the side with the little fox.
Then, the little fox's feeble voice came from the forest. "Ugh … Sister, I can't take it anymore. I can't …"
Daji came back a moment later with a dark expression.
She threw the little fox to Huo Feng in exasperation. "You do it!"
Huo Feng licked her lips and stretched out her wrist. Crimson flames surrounded her palm. Go to the bookstore.
She looked at the little fox with evil intentions. "Little fox, bear with it. It'll hurt a little at first and you might even bleed a little. But trust me, you'll feel very comfortable later on."
"Ugh, don't come over. Sister, save me!"
…
Time flowed like water, unknowingly and peacefully.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, three streaks of light landed at the foot of the Fallen Immortal Mountain.
They were three old men. One of them had five chickens tied to his waist. It looked a little funny.
Gu Changqing said respectfully, "The expert lives on this mountain."
"Wonderful, very wonderful!"
Pei An adjusted his belt. His eyes were filled with sincerity and reverence. He exclaimed, "This mountain is not high nor steep. It looks ordinary, but there are ancient cypresses and evergreen trees. There are exotic flowers and grasses, and streams. Especially the Fallen Immortal Mountain, it's the highlight. It's not high, but it's famous because of immortals. The expert chose this place. It's full of wisdom! He's worthy of being called the expert! "
Gu Changqing looked at Pei An in shock. He could not help but look at him with admiration.
Gu Yuan was a little embarrassed. He whispered, "Grandmaster, the expert isn't here. He can't hear you."
"Nonsense!"
Pei An suddenly shouted. He scolded Gu Yuan, "I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. Why should I say it to the expert? Your thinking is too shallow. You can't do that! Also … how do you know the expert can't hear you? "
Gu Yuan did not want to talk anymore.
The three of them walked slowly along the mountain path.
The tree-lined path twisted and turned. It was a very ordinary mountain path.
Walking on this kind of mountain path, the three of them were extremely nervous. Even the most ordinary path would be more dangerous than the Road of Heavenly Ascension!
When facing such a big shot, the more ordinary it was, the more pressure it gave off!
"By the way, Grandpa, Grandmaster, you were recovering from your injuries during the tribulation. I didn't have time to tell you about something big that happened in the mortal world," Gu Changqing suddenly said. There was still a trace of fear in his voice.
Gu Yuan asked curiously, "What happened?"
Gu Changqing said seriously, "Before you, there was already a woman who came from the Celestial Realm."
"What?" Pei An's face darkened. "Who was it?"
"I don't know, but this woman was very easy to recognize. She had red hair and red eyes, and she wore a red dress. After she came to the mortal world, she casually helped 38 Immortal Cultivators to ascend to the Celestial Realm!" Gu Changqing's tone was extremely complicated.
Those thirty-eight Immortal Cultivators were simply the luckiest bastards in the world!
When their lifespans were about to end, the Road of Heavenly Ascension was opened. Under the situation where they might die in the process of ascension, they met a big shot who directly cheated them and helped them to pass.
He was simply the Son of Fortune, was he not?
Red hair and red eyes?
"Hiss —"
Gu Yuan and Pei An gasped at the same time. Their scalps went numb, and they looked terrified.
"It must be her!" Pei An gulped. "She really came to the mortal world? She didn't come to find the expert, did she? "
Gu Yuan quickly asked, "What happened after that?"
"After that, the Tian Die came …"
Gu Changqing's pupils shrank slightly. His voice trembled as he said in fear, "That Tian Die was extremely terrifying! The lightning it struck was actually red! Just a trace of electricity overflowed, and it made my whole body go numb. I couldn't move at all. "
"That wasn't the Tian Die, it was the Heavenly Punishment!"
Pei An's expression froze. As he spoke, he carefully looked at the sky, as if there was a great terror.
He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "It was the fifth most powerful Red Lotus Tian Die!"
"Hiss —"
Gu Changqing and Gu Yuan's hearts beat wildly. This name was extremely terrifying.
Pei An said in a low voice, "This Tian Die, even in ancient times, was an existence that made people tremble in fear. I read about it in an ancient scroll. Back then, when this Tian Die appeared, there were only a handful of people who could pass through it safely!"
That was in ancient times, an era where powerful beings were born. If this Tian Die was described as so powerful, then who in the world today could pass through it?
Gu Changqing couldn't help but ask, "Grandmaster, you mean, that woman …"
"If nothing unexpected happened, she's most likely dead." Pei An shook his head and sighed. "She's actually a Phoenix. Speaking of which, she saved our lives. What a pity …"
Gu Yuan said with a heavy heart, "The Heavenly Dao is heartless!"
Pei An continued, "Provoking the Heavenly Dao. I have to say, the Phoenix Clan has always been at the forefront of the Immortal World when it comes to seeking death."
Gu Yuan sighed. "Strength makes people numb!"
As he spoke, a faint mist rose from the green trees in front of them. Looking closely, a courtyard house was faintly discernible.
The three of them were shocked!
The expert's residence … They had arrived!
