Jiangzhou, Purple Gold Mountain.
The golden envelope was carried by a flying arrow, penetrating into the Longevity Hall like a sharp arrow.
Before Chen Zhaosheng could react, it was already nailed to the wall behind his head.
Stomp!
"Golden Arrow Golden Book from the Celestial Saint Palace?" Chen Zhaosheng took the envelope from the golden arrow, performed a Taoist spell to unlock the seal.
His hand trembled slightly!
Every disciple of the Celestial Saint Palace's Inner Sect had read about the records of the Golden Arrow Golden Book; this kind of golden arrow could pierce through Gang Qi and Arrays, linking with the Spiritual Soul. Any Celestial Saint Palace disciple receiving such a flying book, even during a closed retreat, would need to break out immediately!
"The Eastern Domain's Incense Burning Valley encountered a transboundary Celestial Fox, and now the Incense Burning Valley has lost contact with the outside world?"
Reading out these two syllables, an eerie light flickered in Chen Zhaosheng's eyes.
Celestial Fox!
It wasn't referring to a type of fox, and it had nothing to do with a fox.
It was a monster from the Star Realm!
"Snow Soul, could you please fetch Zhixing here?"
...
"Celestial Fox? What is that? A white-haired fox spirit?"
Taking the Golden Book from Chen Zhaosheng, Chen Zhixing glanced at it, then frowned, "Incense Burning Valley, if I remember correctly, it is one of the three sects in the Eastern Domain, and its Mountain Protection Array is famous alongside our Chen Family's Array, the 'Eight Desolate Leaving Fire', right?"
"Yes, Incense Burning Valley encountered a Descent of the Celestial Fox yesterday at 7 a.m., and an hour after sending a call for help, it lost contact with the Immortal Ascension Sect."
Chen Zhaosheng seemed to be in a bad state, appearing unable to focus even while speaking with Chen Zhixing, as his eyes kept scanning around the Longevity Hall.
His condition was naturally noticed by Chen Zhixing:
"Is this fox spirit fierce?"
"It is not a fox; it is a monster from the Star Realm... no, you could consider it a condensation of rules, a living being formed from the Star Realm's rules, opposing the Divine Spirit. Whenever it descends to the Mortal World, it is....." Chen Zhaosheng's glance around became more bizarre, as if there were other creatures in the Longevity Hall besides him and Chen Zhixing, requiring his constant vigilance.
"What is its ability, and what is its threat?"
"No threat, it....."
"Finish what you're saying."
"It...."
Chen Zhixing could see that Chen Zhaosheng very much wanted to tell him the information about the Celestial Fox, but when it came to his lips, he couldn't utter it, as if a prohibition had been placed within his Spiritual Soul, forbidding him to speak anything about the Celestial Fox.
Just then, Chen Zhaosheng's gaze around became even more bizarre, and from the distant portal, it began to move towards the table in front of them.
Instinctively, Chen Zhaosheng took out a cup, filled it with fragrant tea, and placed it across the table.
Chen Zhixing: "???"
A small starlight lit up from Chen Zhixing's left eye, and even with the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror capable of penetrating the Great Thousand Families, nothing was present there.
Yet, absurdly.....
In the spot Chen Zhixing was gazing at, a 'person' picked up the teacup.
"Zhixing! Run!!!"
Suddenly, seeing this scene, Chen Zhaosheng let out an angry roar, then leaped across the table, embracing the 'inexistent entity', rolling into a scuffle!
"Run! Go to the Celestial Saint Palace! Run quickly!!!"
What bizarre thing is this?!
Chen Zhixing naturally wouldn't run, although he truly could not understand Chen Zhaosheng's current state, he could confirm that inside this Longevity Hall, there were no other living beings besides him and Chen Zhaosheng.
So.
"Is it my detection methods that are flawed?"
With a thought, a figure wearing the Emperor's Robe of the Emperor Ziwei emerged from behind Chen Zhixing, and under the infinite Starlight, the Emperor, resembling Chen Zhixing, grabbed forcefully towards Chen Zhaosheng's location, then, as if borrowing strength, laboriously crossed into a certain dimension invisible to the naked eye.
The moment before, Emperor Ziwei's figure had just vanished.
The next moment, 'It' had been 'beaten' out with great force from that void.
Fortunately, being struck out, Emperor Ziwei's hand was dragging a small piece of crystal, which swiftly returned into Chen Zhaosheng's body upon release.
Watching Emperor Ziwei's figure explode with a loud bang.
"Phew...."
Chen Zhixing, slightly damaged in his Golden Nature, let out a long sigh, seemingly understanding what that 'Celestial Fox' was.
"Get up, stop rolling around."
"Ugh.... ah...." The soul torn and partially devoured, Chen Zhaosheng was still frantically rolling on the ground, his features twisted and frightening.
"..."
It took a full quarter of an hour before Chen Zhaosheng seemed to exhaust himself, his body drenched in blood, lying stiffly there.
Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow at the sight.
The good news was, Chen Zhaosheng wasn't dead.
The bad news was, with nearly a seventh of his existence devoured, the difficulty for Chen Zhaosheng to prove the Tao and achieve Longevity in the future had increased significantly.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
The sound of labored breathing like bellows, the dazed and confused state following excessive tension.
And just like that, another half-hour passed before Chen Zhaosheng suddenly sat up, staring fixedly at Chen Zhixing, "Why are you still here; the Celestial Fox has already targeted me, once it finishes me, it will continue hunting around, you might also be targeted by it!"
Chen Zhixing's mouth twitched slightly.
He raised his hand slightly, feeling the urge to slap, but remembering that this guy just now had told him to run when being targeted by a monster, he forced down the impulse.
"Don't worry, that thing won't come to bother me anytime soon." Chen Zhixing said, after all, he was the Master of One Tao. Although just a mere semblance right now, much like animal hunting, when there are easy-to-catch prey animals around, carnivores generally don't provoke other predators.
