Chapter 705: Chapter 352: The Fox Demon’s Primordial Spirit Without Evil Energy_2
The Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor took the gourd and nodded gently, “In consideration of the four fellow Daoists, I will spare him this time. Let’s go.”
Their Fox Tribe practiced the Dark Secret Technique; as long as the Primordial Spirit existed, they could use the bodies of their tribesmen for rebirth. Although the new bodies couldn’t compare to their original ones, they could still continue their cultivation and regaining their previous cultivation levels was merely a matter of time.
However, the prospect of crossing tribulation in the future was almost impossible without the occurrence of some miracle.
In the distant past, they had also employed the Primordial Spirits of their tribesmen to reincarnate using the bodies of human cultivators, and even infiltrated the human race, causing significant harm.
Later on, the human race acquired the Tai Xuan Mirror, which could reveal their true forms, and they could no longer easily infiltrate the humans.
Having said that, he then led his tribesmen back to Big Monster City, while some of the fox demons stayed behind in the Fox Mound below.
The Monster Ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan and the other three Demon Ancestors exchanged glances, each showing a faint smile, as their figures gradually vanished.
In the Golden Peng Clan Region of Big Monster City, Lin Yi returned to his cave mansion and found everything to be in order. Zhi Ling and White Painting and the others were all diligently cultivating without any mishaps occurring.
After all, this was the territory of the Golden Peng Clan; even if the Fox Tribe were bold, they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble in the Golden Peng area so rashly.
As for the Primordial Spirits of the three Integration Stage fox demons, they were meant to be returned to the Fox Tribe. Furthermore, it wasn’t because he feared the Fox Tribe that he kept these three Primordial Spirits; he had other reasons.
Previously, when he used the “Golden Human Energy” to purify, he had a sudden bold idea while looking at some titles on the title panel. Therefore, he had captured the Primordial Spirits of the three Integration Stage fox demons to conduct an experiment.
When he brought the human ascenders back, he took some time to isolate the surroundings and carried out an experiment, and the results were very satisfying.
He hoped that the old fox demon facing tribulation would like the surprise he had prepared for them.
Zhi Ling was still in the form of a vermilion bird and quickly flew over upon his return, emitting her divine intent, “Master, you’ve returned. A few days ago, a Great Demon of the Integration Stage from the Golden Peng Clan came by and warned us not to go out. I was worried something had happened to you.”
“Predecessor, are you alright?” White Painting couldn’t help but ask with concern.
Lin Yi patted Zhi Ling’s head and, seeing the concerned looks in the eyes of White Painting and the others, smiled and waved his hand, “There’s no need to worry; it was just a minor issue, and it’s already resolved.”
Afterward, he returned to his own cave mansion and, while resting with his eyes closed, pondered over the plan to rescue Xu Yu Rou and Master Golden Sword.
After all, one of them was his first master since he arrived in the Cultivation World, who had always taken good care of him. Under his protection, he was able to cultivate steadily.
The second was his first direct disciple, who with Lower-grade spiritual roots had reached the realm of Divinity Transformation and ascended to the higher realm. Even if it was with his continuous guidance and bestowed insight, her own efforts were evident.
Therefore, with the power he possessed, he couldn’t possibly abandon Xu Yu Rou and neither could he ignore his master; otherwise, his cultivation would have truly been for naught.
However, he couldn’t venture out again in the short term, otherwise, it would arouse the suspicions of the Demon Ancestors.
Meanwhile, as Lin Yi was contemplating in his cave mansion, the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor brought the gourd containing the Primordial Spirits back to the deepest part of the Fox Tribe’s Underground cave in Big Monster City.
Soon after, the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor opened the gourd and indeed, three Primordial Spirits of Integration Stage tribesmen flew out. However, upon seeing these three Primordial Spirits, they were all taken aback.
Whether it was the Primordial Spirits of the human race or the Demon Tribe, all were transformed from their own Fruit of Dao and cultivated with righteous cultivation techniques, demonstrating the aura of righteousness. But the Fox Tribe, which absorbed Yin Souls and practiced the Dark Arts, would have their Primordial Spirits exude Yin Evil Qi.
However, the three Primordial Spirits that flew out from the gourd had not a trace of Yin Evil Qi; instead, they carried a purity of Yin Qi, as if they had been purified. This was something they found hard to believe.
Neither the human race nor the Demon Tribe, with all their might, could easily purify the qi of others. The Rebirth Charms of the human race only eliminated resentment, unable to fundamentally purify the evil energy.
Not to mention, these Fox Demon Tribe members were at the Integration Stage and had bodies of the Primordial Spirit, which even the Human race cultivators at the Mahayana Realm couldn’t achieve.
If it weren’t for the familiar aura of the Fox Tribe emanating from these Primordial Spirits, they would have really thought that it was the Golden Serpent using other Primordial Spirits to impersonate members of the Fox Tribe.
“Ancestor, what’s happening? How could the bodies of our tribe’s Primordial Spirits undergo such a change?” Some Integration Stage Fox Demons asked with drastically changed expressions, this was completely beyond their understanding.
The Yin Evil Qi was gone, were these still their Fox Demon tribespeople? What exactly had Long Ao done to their fellow tribespeople’s Body of the Primordial Spirit, and how had he accomplished it?
Even the Fox Tribe’s Demon Ancestor, who had lived for over ten thousand years, couldn’t help but be astonished by this situation. He could definitively confirm that these were the three Fusion Stage Fox Demons, only, there wasn’t a trace of evil qi left in them, which was utterly impossible.
Because what they practiced were the Dark Arts, and they absorbed Yin Evil Qi—the two were one and the same, and couldn’t be forcibly separated.
These three tribespeople’s Primordial Spirits seemed unharmed, and even if the Golden Serpent had powerful methods, it should be impossible to completely eliminate the evil qi without damaging the Body of the Primordial Spirit, right?
It was by absorbing Yin Evil Qi that their Fox Tribe had secured its status among the Demon Tribe. Without the Yin Evil Qi, it was impossible for their cultivation levels to advance so rapidly.
In the dim Fox Demon cave mansion, the three Primordial Spirits without any evil qi were extremely conspicuous. However, the three Primordial Spirits seemed to have lost consciousness, as if they had been restrained.
The Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor examined them for a while, laid down some techniques, and then, using his own fox light, directly released the three Primordial Spirits from their restraints. He wanted to inquire what exactly had happened to these three Primordial Spirits, whether they still retained their complete memories.
The three Primordial Spirits awoke, looking around in a daze, and upon seeing the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor, quickly clasped their fists in a bow, “We pay respects to the Ancestor and thank you for saving our lives.”
“Do you still remember what happened? Why is there no evil qi on your bodies of the Primordial Spirits?” the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor stared intently at the three Primordial Spirits and asked in a stern voice.
The three Primordial Spirits said in unison, “Ancestor, after we were taken into the gourd by Long Ao, he used a kind of golden demon energy on us. Then, we felt tremendous pain, and a stream of black qi on our bodies gradually dissipated. Beyond that, we don’t know.”
The Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor could sense that these three Primordial Spirits were not lying and then asked again, “Then, do you feel any changes?”
“After losing the evil qi, it seems to feel more comfortable.”
“I feel that the cultivation bottleneck that has been troubling me seems breakable now.”
“I feel that my heart has become more peaceful,” the three Primordial Spirits shared their feelings.
An expression of disbelief appeared on the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor’s face. Could it be that the methods used by the Golden Serpent had no adverse effects and actually had benefits? That Fox Demon, who now claimed to feel inner peace, had previously been a ruthless and impatient individual.
“Ancestor, there must be some problems with them, I think we should not let them use bodies to be reborn just yet,” an Integration Stage Fox Demon said, looking at the three Primordial Spirits with suspicion.
Unable to hold back, the Fox Demon with a peaceful heart shouted, “Bai Zuiyu, I think you really must be drunk to doubt us after Long Ao tortured us in so many ways. Now that we are finally rescued by the Ancestor, you actually suspect we have problems.”
“It was supposed to be your turn this time, but because a disciple of your family was about to break through and you had to protect them, I took your place. Now to think you would be so ungrateful.”
“Exactly, if we had problems, we would have followed Long Ao already—why would we come back here?”
“Does it mean that without the evil qi, we are no longer members of the Fox Tribe? Ancestor, please stand up for us,” they appealed to the Demon Ancestor.
The Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor pondered for a while and then nodded, saying, “They’re right, we can’t just assume they have problems because Long Ao removed the evil qi with some techniques. It could very well be Long Ao’s stratagem of causing division. Bring over the bodies of three Void Refinement Clan members.”
Their practice of using the bodies of the Fox Tribe’s Primordial Spirits for rebirth didn’t involve borrowing the bodies of living tribespeople—that would be too cruel and unfeeling. They used the bodies of tribespeople who had died unexpectedly, and due to their cultivation of the Dark Arts, they had many ways to preserve the bodies.
