Chen Zhixing, who has mastered the way of the Star Monarch, though weak, undoubtedly belongs to the ranks of predators.
Suddenly, Chen Zhixing seemed to think of something, and looked at Chen Zhaosheng in confusion: "By the way, is that thing practicing the same Four Symbols Technique as you?"
"It's not...."
Chen Zhaosheng opened his mouth, then lowered his head powerlessly and said, "The Celestial Saint Palace has forbidden information about its existence, making it impossible for me to divulge intelligence related to it. But it's also good, the more you know, the greater the chance of being targeted by it. That thing is now hiding in the Spirit Realm. According to my thoughts, Zhixing, you should first hide in the Celestial Saint Palace."
"What about you?" Chen Zhixing raised his eyebrow.
"Me?" Chen Zhaosheng seemed slightly dazed, then showed a bitter smile and said, "Logically speaking, I should struggle a bit, but being targeted by it, I estimate I won't last until the Celestial Saint Palace comes to handle it."
"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe that guy will bite you once and find the taste bad, then run off somewhere else to eat?"
"It's not that simple...."
Chen Zhaosheng gave a bitter smile: "That's the Celestial Fox, once targeted by it, I'm afraid I won't survive past today...."
Holding this thought, Chen Zhaosheng kept persuading Chen Zhixing to leave.
Chen Zhixing remained still, his expression calm, standing by his side.
Until the moon reached the treetop, the rooster crowed again, the Celestial Fox had not sought Chen Zhaosheng.
"I'm...still alive?"
"Otherwise?"
"That's impossible...."
"What's impossible? That thing is just a conglomeration of twisted will, rather than calling it...perhaps it should be called Taoist Evil. When you went crazy before, I took the opportunity to cut it with a sword, so it probably won't head this way again for a while."
Chen Zhixing replied calmly.
"Cut it...with a sword?"
Chen Zhaosheng was bewildered.
After the tension, came the joy of surviving against the odds, who would want to die if they could live, especially being eaten inexplicably?
"Well, also, recently don't collect those weird things anymore, especially those mailed into Purple Gold Mountain from outside. You're now missing about one-seventh...oh, now it's one-sixth. But rest assured, it's no longer leaking out. Rest a few hundred years and maybe there's hope of recovering...maybe?"
By the end, Chen Zhixing was uncertain.
If a normal Peak Cultivator exists as a complete human figure in their own Spirit Realm's Great Tao, then Chen Zhaosheng at this moment was like someone who had been bitten off an entire left arm and half a shoulder, even with a gouged neck.
The injuries are frightening, but do not affect the real physical body.
To describe it more easily, Chen Zhaosheng consumed his ability blood rebirth ten times in one breath.
However, using blood rebirth normally shrinks his Spirit Realm existence altogether, while now, Chen Zhaosheng has a part of his original physique bitten off.
Chen Zhixing also didn't know if these injuries could be recovered.
As for the 'Celestial Fox' mentioned by Chen Zhaosheng, in Chen Zhixing's eyes, it's a peculiar creature that hunts in the Spirit Realm.
A twisted entity, like a stitched creature, follows a special connection to devour the cultivator's spirit body and the Spirit Realm it sees.
Such a monster that devours others' Spirit Realm existence can indeed be described as Taoist Evil.
"Alright, now is not the time to discuss this. According to what Zhixing said, that monster has already left. If that's the case, we better hurry to the Celestial Saint Palace!"
"Not going."
"Why? At this moment...."
"Because that monster is now waiting for me right outside Jiangzhou."
"???
...
Yes, the Celestial Fox is currently outside Jiangzhou.
It is truly a peculiar existence.
More precisely, the Celestial Fox was originally a native creature of the Celestial Profound Realm, yes, it existed in the Celestial Profound Realm before humans arrived there, at least part of it.
What happens next is a relatively conventional story.
Since it was called the Celestial Fox by the Celestial Profound Realm cultivators, it was initially a local Fox Demon, a top Great Demon in the Longevity Realm settled there.
Then came the expansion of the Human Race, the Celestial Saint Palace invaded the Celestial Profound Realm from another Domain, and began cleansing the native powerful beings that posed a threat to humans, the Celestial Fox was unlucky, becoming one of the cleaned-out Great Demons.
Logically, bad luck should have an end, when exterminated during life, normally with the Celestial Fox's strength, it could continue to live carefree in the Spirit Realm.
However, when unfortunate, even drinking cold water gets stuck in the teeth, seven out of nine paths it governed coincided with those of the human Great Powers...meaning, even after death, it got beaten again, the Five Elements Taoist Lords directly tore apart the Five Elements Tao from it, and the Life and Death Taoist Lords originally intended to act too, yet before they could move, this crazed fox started devouring everything it could see in a frenzy, seemingly wanting to recover this way.
We know what came of it.
Chaotic devouring, not even a Chaos Body dares this, without needing others to attack, it turned itself into a monster, into a monster that devours anything without order.
The Human Race has experience with dealing with such monsters.
Normally, encountering a similar monster involves sealing the spirit body, peeling the Great Tao, and smashing the residual spirit before scattering it in the Spirit Realm.
Not only the Human Race does this, it's also the consensus among all Spirit Realm beings.
No one wants a crazed monster nearby, right?
However, precisely then coincided with the Human Race invasion, the number of native Demon Races beaten into the Spirit Realm was somewhat large, plus the Celestial Profound Realm was originally the territory of the Demon Race, they were also deeply integrated into the Spirit Realm back then.
Then, under the threat from the Human Race, the Demon Fox actually grew under the indulgence of many Demon Race Taoist Lords.
Through massive devouring, the Demon Fox not only restored its previous size but became more bizarre and terrifying, even possessing Yin and Yang and Life and Death great paths. Upon eating to a certain extent, it evolved into a Taoist Evil!
Possessing Divine Techniques, part of its intelligence, extremely powerful, understanding advantages.
The key is, it's very hard to kill!
Eventually, when the Human Race and Celestial Profound Realm stabilized their territories, and peace talks with the Demon Race occurred, both sides tried to deal with this 'Celestial Fox' and found it had evolved into a real Taoist Evil, and due to its initial innate fox abilities, it could influence reality.
Affecting reality, disrupting Celestial Profound.
Present in the Spirit Realm, causing chaos in the Spirit Realm.
When hunted, hid in the Star Realm.
Hunted by the Human Race for nearly three hundred years, finally suppressed by the then yet-to-establish Daluo Taoist Lands' 'Luotian Taoist Lord', eventually tossed outside Celestial Profound Realm.
Yet even after being thrown out of the Celestial Profound Realm, this monster rooted in the Celestial Fox hasn't abandoned plans against the Human Race of Celestial Profound Realm.
Over the last thirty thousand years, it has returned four times.
As if after being ejected from Celestial Profound Realm, it constantly waited outside its defenses, anticipating a loophole to slip through and exact revenge.
Of course, more reasonably explained, this monster probably sensed a lack of coordinates in the Star Realm chaotic drift, would starve sooner or later.
Wanting to avoid death, chose always being near Celestial Profound Realm, guarding the food nearby.
Seems reasonable?
But the problem is.
The Celestial Profound Realm is also a planet! A planet travels with stars throughout the Star Sea! Not fixed in place for someone to guard!
Even if you were a monster or a spaceship, logically you'd be thrown aside!
Yet this monster returned four times after being thrown out.....
Currently, is the fifth time.
Among these, two were via Descent Passage.
Once was summoned by the Northern Continent's Demon Race.
Another directly drilled through the celestial embryonic barrier!
