AWB Chapter 943 Qingqiu Secret Realm
Chapter 943 Qingqiu Secret Realm
Dreams come true!
The moment of passing through the space crack, spiritual energy that was so dense that it seemed to be condensed into a solid entity rushed towards him like surging waves, forming a sharp contrast with the thin power of heaven and earth in the outside world.
Su Xiaoya, Bai Yiyi and the others stopped in their tracks. Wherever they looked, it was like a fairyland painting that had been sealed away by time.
The vast grassland is like a green ocean, lush and full of vitality. In the distance, the lakes are scattered like bright pearls inlaid on the earth, shining brightly.
Across the prairie, there are hills of different sizes and heights, which undulate like the backbone of the earth.
In the distance, a peach forest that stretches as far as the eye can see is as gorgeous and dazzling as pink clouds.
Bai Yiyi and Tushan Xiaoya couldn't wait to reveal their true forms and rushed towards the peach forest like happy birds returning to their nests.
Su Xiaoya, Yu Shuheng and Yu Wen Zhangyu smiled at each other and followed.
There is a path paved with bluestone slabs under your feet. The tender green moss growing out of the cracks in the slabs is as crystal clear as jade, and the dewdrops on it are like pearls, reflecting the intertwined branches and leaves above your head, making it poetic and picturesque.
The peach trees lining the road resemble a sea of pink, a stark contrast to the peach and plum blossoms vying for springtime outside. The blossoms here seem nourished by spiritual energy, never withering. Layers of pink and white petals cascade like clouds in the sky, and when the wind blows, they scatter like snowflakes, blanketing the ground in a "flower snow." The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of the flowers, an intoxicating sight.
In the depths of the peach forest, the gurgling stream appears and disappears, like a transparent jade belt, winding among the green trees.
The stream water is crystal clear, like a mirror, clearly reflecting the round colorful jade stones at the bottom of the water, which look like sleeping gems, emitting charming brilliance.
When the water flows through the cracks in the rocks, it makes a clear and pleasant tinkling sound, just like an ancient ballad, lingering in the ears and touching the heart.
As you go deeper, the terrain gradually rises, and the scattered fox buildings are like mysterious castles, standing on this magical land.
These palaces are not built with ordinary bricks and tiles, but with thousand-year-old warm jade as the foundation and glazed tiles as the roof, which is magnificent.
The crystal wind chimes hanging under the eaves sway in the wind, making clear sounds that are like the sounds of nature, cleansing people's souls.
The outer walls of the palace are carved with intricate nine-tailed fox totems. Some foxes are looking up at the moon, and some are holding spiritual fruits. The lines are smooth and natural, simple and elegant, with a sense of heaviness that comes from a hundred thousand years of time, as if telling an ancient story.
The palace is surrounded by towering ancient trees, with glowing spiritual vines wrapped around the trunks. The vines are covered with red fruits shaped like fox ears, emitting a gentle halo, illuminating the entire Qingqiu with warmth, like a dreamland.
Further away are rolling mountains, the peaks covered with snow that never melts all year round, yet it doesn't seem cold - hot springs are faintly flowing beneath the snow, and the steaming white mist interweaves with the clouds in the mountains, making the mountains look like Penglai in a fairyland.
Occasionally, you can see a few clever birds flying across the sky, their feathers glowing with colorful light, and their chirping sounds melodious and pleasant, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet land.
What a paradise on earth!
This secret realm, sealed off for a hundred thousand years, wasn't completely devoid of life. As Su Xiaoya and the others approached the central palace, several figures emerged from behind the peach trees or ancient trees.
They were all nine-tailed foxes, with different fur colors. Some were snow-white with a hint of silver-blue at the tip of their tails; some were crimson, as dazzling as fire; and some were a rare ink color, with fur that glowed with dark gold patterns in the light.
The cultivation of these nine-tailed foxes far exceeds that of outsiders:
The youngest of the fox clan, she looked like a girl of only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her aura had already stabilized at the Golden Core stage. When she swung her tail, she could attract the flow of spiritual energy around her.
Most of the middle-aged foxes were in the Nascent Soul stage, with sharp eyes and a restrained yet heavy spiritual energy. Just standing there, they added a sense of oppression to the air.
The two old men guarding the palace gate had frosty white hair, and their nine tails almost covered the sky when spread out. Their cultivation had reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage - their aura merged with the spiritual energy of Qingqiu's heaven and earth, as if just a move could mobilize the power of the entire secret realm.
Bai Yiyi and Tushan Xiaoya rushed to the palace gate like a whirlwind, and instantly regained their human form with fox tails. The eight tails of the two foxes swayed behind them like lively silk ribbons.
"Are you... humans from the outside world?" A red-tailed fox cautiously stepped forward, his voice tinged with caution and curiosity. His sharp gaze passed over Bai Yiyi and Tushan Xiaoya, directly looking at Su Xiaoya and the other two behind them. His unconcealed excitement welled up in his eyes like a volcanic eruption.
A living person!
They were sealed for a long 100,000 years, as if isolated from the world, and were filled with endless curiosity about the appearance of the human race.
On the contrary, the cultivation levels of Bai Yiyi and Tushan Xiaoya, two of their fellow clansmen, were directly ignored by them.
As for the fox clan, they are always around, so it's really boring.
Su Xiaoya and the other two were surrounded by a group of nine-tailed foxes. The scene was like a national treasure giant panda being surrounded by a crowd. The three of them were so embarrassed that they wished they could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with their toes.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoya and the others didn't feel awkward for too long. Suddenly, an old and powerful voice came from the palace, like a huge bell: "Bring them in."
Everyone followed the fox clan into the main hall. In the center of the hall was a towering statue of a celestial fox. The celestial fox in the statue had ten tails, like ten agile fire dragons circling upwards. On its forehead was a golden vertical pupil, like a star in the universe, shining brightly. Its expression was majestic and gentle, as if it were a god who could see through everything in the world.
Several white-haired foxes were kneeling in front of the statue. The aura around them was like that of an ancient mountain, even deeper. Their cultivation had actually reached the Mahayana stage, the pinnacle of perfection.
Bai Yiyi and Tushan Xiaoya were stunned, especially Bai Yiyi, who knew very well how difficult it was to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, let alone the Mahayana Stage.
Currently, among the five of them, only Yu Shuheng and Su Xiaoya were Mahayana cultivators. Bai Yiyi and Tushan Xiaoya had just broken through to the early stages of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and were still three small realms away from the Mahayana stage: the middle, late, and great perfection stages of the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
If he had not left the inland fox clan secret realm and followed Su Xiaoya on the journey to find Qingqiu, and experienced various adventures along the way, he would probably still be struggling in the Spirit Transformation Stage, like a candle in the wind, waiting for death to come.
Who would have known that the elders of the Qingqiu ancestral land were already in the Mahayana stage.
With the Mahayana stage Nine-tailed Fox in charge, Qingqiu should also regain its glory.
Bai Yiyi and Tushan Xiaoya looked at each other - as expected, the ancestral land was different.
"One hundred thousand years..." A white-haired elder of the Fox Clan slowly raised his head. His piercing gaze, like two sharp bolts of lightning, fell directly on Bai Yiyi, as if to pierce his soul. "We guard this secret realm, waiting for the ancient prophecy - 'When the Sky Fox emerges, Qingqiu will be revealed.'"
It turned out that one hundred thousand years ago, Qingqiu also participated in that tragic and catastrophic war between gods. The ancestors spared no effort to protect Qingyuan Star at the cost of their own cultivation and killed many invaders from other worlds.
The Sky Fox Ancestor even took the initiative to stay behind with some other ancestors to cover Qingyuan Star, and in the end, no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
Before setting out, the Sky Fox Ancestor laid an indestructible seal to completely isolate Qingqiu from the outside world.
The Sky Fox Ancestor did this not only to protect the last trace of his bloodline, but also to wait for the arrival of the "Sky Fox" in the prophecy who would lead Qingyuan Star back to the heavens with absolute strength.
Over the past 100,000 years, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan has been recuperating in the secret realm, like a bud silently waiting to bloom in the darkness, relying on the spiritual energy in the secret realm that is as rich as nectar to practice.
Although they could not break the seal, they successfully continued their clan's heritage. They guarded the statue of the Heavenly Fox day and night, like devout believers, firmly believing that when the prophesied Heavenly Fox appeared, the seal would be torn apart as easily as thin paper, and Qingqiu would return to the world like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
At this moment, the statue of the Heavenly Fox outside the main hall suddenly glowed faintly, and the light was like the first ray of dawn, illuminating the entire hall.
The foxes in the hall stood up like a swarm of disturbed bees, their eyes burning like flames as they stared intently at Bai Yiyi and his group - they could clearly feel the breath of the loosening seal, just like a spring breeze, quietly spreading with the arrival of these outside visitors.
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng both looked at Bai Yiyi happily. Although they didn't know how Bai Yiyi was related to the Sky Fox prophecy, they also realized that Bai Yiyi might be the person they were waiting for.
After all, they all knew that Bai Yiyi had accepted the inheritance of the Heavenly Fox.
I just hope that the Sky Fox Patriarch didn't perish in that divine war, but used a special method to leave his legacy in the place where the gods fell!
The white-haired foxes in the Mahayana stage slowly stood up and walked towards Bai Yiyi, their eyes full of expectation and respect.
"Boy, can you try getting closer to this celestial fox statue?" an old man said softly.
Bai Yiyi looked at Su Xiaoya, Yu Shuheng, Yu Wenjianyu and Tushan Xiaoya beside her.
These are his companions who have accompanied him through life and death, overcoming all difficulties, just to find the ancestral land of Qingqiu.
They are all his most trusted partners.
forever!
Su Xiaoya and the others looked at Bai Yiyi encouragingly, and motioned for him to give it a try.
Bai Yiyi took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the spiritual energy in the world into his stomach, and then walked slowly towards the mysterious statue with steady steps.
The moment he approached the Sky Fox statue, it suddenly burst into a dazzling light, like a bright star shining in the night sky. That light, like surging waves, continuously poured into Bai Yiyi's body.
In an instant, Bai Yiyi's phantom tail representing the celestial fox burned like a ignited flame, and appeared directly in front of everyone.
"Ah! The Ten-Tails!"
"Oh my god! What did I see? That's the tenth tail representing the inheritance of the Sky Fox!"
"This is simply incredible! They say that one must cultivate to the Mahayana stage and gather all nine tails to cultivate the tenth tail. But this kid only has eight tails, and he has already cultivated the tenth tail of the Sky Fox!"
"God bless my fox clan!"
……
For a moment, hundreds of foxes knelt down and kowtowed, as if paying tribute to this sacred statue.
Even Tushan Xiaoya also stepped forward quickly, knelt on one leg, folded her hands together, placed them flat on her chest, and lowered her head slightly, like a blooming lotus, emitting a holy light.
The light of the celestial fox statue grew brighter and brighter, like a scorching sun rising from the horizon, and finally soaring into the sky, as if it was about to pierce the sky.
More and more foxes gathered like a tide. Not only were there nine-tailed foxes, but there were also three-tailed foxes, red foxes, black foxes, and countless other fox tribes. They gathered like stars, forming a brilliant and colorful sea of foxes.
It turns out that this is the residence of the nine-tailed fox, and the rest of the fox tribe is scattered in different areas, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
Just as thousands of foxes were paying homage and offering their most loyal faith, the statue of the celestial fox suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, like lightning, and directly penetrated into Bai Yiyi's eyebrows.
Bai Yiyi only felt a powerful force surging in his body like a torrent, and his whole momentum continued to rise like a volcanic eruption - the middle stage of the Tribulation Period, the late stage of the Tribulation Period, the great perfection of the Tribulation Period, the early stage of the Mahayana Period, the middle stage, and finally rushed to the peak of the late Mahayana Period before slowly stopping.
The seal outside the Qingqiu Secret Realm began to vibrate violently the moment Bai Yiyi broke through to the early stage of the Mahayana period, as if it was shaken by an invisible force.
"Success! The seal is about to be lifted!"
Ten thousand foxes cheered, and the sound resounded through the sky like thunder, echoing in this mysterious land.
Su Xiaoya also felt the seal loosening, and she felt both surprised and a little nervous.
With the lifting of the seal, Qingqiu's spiritual energy began to blend with the outside world. The secret realm of Qingqiu, which had been sealed for 100,000 years, was about to be revealed to the world again.
Su Xiaoya finally completed the system task and successfully helped Bai Yiyi find the ancestral land of Qingqiu.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission 'Training with the Fox Tribe's Grand Elder Bai Yiyi'. You will be rewarded with points, two portable cave dwellings, 10 square space rings, one immortal boat, and 10 spiritual medicine space jade hairpins."
When Su Xiaoya heard the system prompt sound, her heart was like a huge wave, and her ecstasy was beyond words.
This generous reward was more thoughtful than giving her a mountain of gold and silver, and was enough for her to equip her two brothers with the portable caves they had always dreamed of.
Looking back to the past, before her first voyage to the East China Sea, Su Xiaoya was like a generous landlord, giving her adoptive parents the precious gift of a portable cave.
And now, this reward is like a timely rain, which can be given to the two adopted brothers Su Mingyi and Su Mingxian to urge them to make further progress on the road of cultivation.
