Chapter 218 - Beware of Immortals
【Looking at the massive skeleton in front of him, Ye Yu felt an inexplicable pressure.】
【But it did not last long before it vanished in an instant.】
【He glanced around and found that within this mountain range, apart from this enormous skeleton, there was nothing else.】
【So, where did that oppressive feeling just now come from?】
【Could it be… originating from this skeleton?】
【Ye Yu’s expression turned solemn as he slowly approached.】
【He noticed that the skeleton was crystal clear, like jade.】
【He couldn’t help but step forward, intending to reach out and touch it.】
【And just at that moment, a warm, mellow voice rang out.】
【When facing a senior, you must hold a heart of reverence!】
【Hearing this sentence, Ye Yu turned his head to look.】
【He saw a creature with the body of a man and the head of a fox, dressed in a brocade robe, had appeared beside him without him noticing.】
【Ye Yu quickly retreated, instinctively shouting: A demon?!】
【The fox’s mouth twitched slightly.】
【It replied with great displeasure: What? Aren’t you also a demon?】
【Ye Yu blinked.】
【Seemed like he had a point.】
【In this life, he too was a demon.】
【Moreover, this was the Southern Barbarian Continent, a place naturally inhabited by demons.】
【Encountering a demon was the most normal thing here.】
【The reason Ye Yu was so startled earlier was simply that this fox had appeared too suddenly.】
【After calming himself down, Ye Yu cupped his hands and said: I am indeed a demon, I was just too nervous earlier.】
【The fox sighed and spoke slowly: My name is Zhishui! What you see before you is my skeleton.】
【And I am merely a wisp of divine soul.】
【I’ve lingered here for thirty thousand years, only hoping to wait for a disciple to pass on my legacy.】
【Your bloodline can barely be considered passable.】
【But I don’t have much time left.】
【I will do my utmost to help elevate your bloodline to a higher level.】
【I hope you can restore the divine might of the Heavenly Fox!】
【These words were spoken with such righteous grandeur.】
【Ye Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and expressed his thanks.】
【Thank you, Senior!】
【Though he spoke these words, his mind was already on full alert. He quietly held a teleportation talisman in his hand.】
【Ready to retreat at any moment!】
【After all, in this treacherous world of cultivation, who can truly be trusted?】
【Zhishui was instantly covered in black lines.】
【He then roared on the spot: Do you think you’re funny?】
【I’m saying I’m offering you an opportunity, and you still want to run?】
【If I truly wanted to do something, do you really think you could escape?】
【As soon as he finished speaking, the massive skeleton suddenly radiated a brilliant light.】
【A white Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox phantom appeared!】
【Its body was so large that it almost occupied the entire mountain range.】
【Zhishui performed a Daoist technique with both hands.】
【After letting out a roar, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox phantom rapidly shrank, condensing into a single drop of essence blood.】
【With lightning speed, it merged into Ye Yu’s body.】
【In the next moment, Ye Yu felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing throughout his body, instantly breaking through the bottleneck and stepping into the Divine Transformation realm.】
【Five tails appeared behind him, slowly swaying.】
【In addition, four more tails were faintly visible as shadowy outlines.】
【Ye Yu could clearly feel that it was as if he had been reborn.】
【It seemed, this old fox wasn’t lying after all.】
【Come to think of it, this must be the opportunity foretold by the supreme fortune.】
【After doing all this, Zhishui’s figure also began to gradually disperse.】
【His face still carried a disgruntled expression.】
【There is no trust among heavenly foxes these days.】
【That was the essence of my bloodline, preserved for thirty thousand years. It can continuously enhance your bloodline, providing countless benefits.】
【To be honest, if I weren’t afraid that waiting any longer might mean no other members of my race would arrive, I wouldn’t have wanted to give it to you at all!】
【Forget it. With your cautious nature, surviving until Ascension shouldn’t be too difficult.】
【As for whether you can ascend to the Heavenly Realm, that will depend on your own fate.】
【Kid, one last piece of advice: be wary of the Immortals of the Heavenly Realm!】
【If possible, kill those fishing bastards!】
【As soon as these words were spoken, Zhishui’s figure had already dissipated with the wind.】
【The massive skeleton in front of him also turned to dust, scattering over the ground.】
【Seeing this scene, Ye Yu solemnly cupped his hands in a respectful bow.】
【This time, with a bit more sincerity.】
【Truth be told, it seemed that this old fox was truly quite enraged.】
【Even as his divine soul dissipated, he hadn’t forgotten to grumble a few times.】
【However, Zhishui’s final warning instilled a slight sense of crisis in Ye Yu.】
【He recalled that Taoist boy he met on the Western Frontier Continent.】
【Why do those who ascend have to die?】
【It isn’t a rule unique to the Western Frontier Continent, but exists on the Southern Barbarian Continent as well?】
【What does ‘beware of the Immortals’ and ‘fishing bastard’ mean?】
【These questions left Ye Yu feeling quite puzzled.】
【Yet, he didn’t dwell too much on them.】
【All these mysteries will eventually be unveiled, whether upon reaching ascension or stepping into the Heavenly Realm.】
【But based on previous experiences, whatever happens, it’s better to be cautious!】
【Especially after reaching ascension and stepping into the Heavenly Realm.】
【At 350 years old, since obtaining Zhishui’s bloodline essence, Ye Yu’s cultivation level continued to soar.】
【In a hundred years, he nearly crossed two major realms.】
【Not only did he successfully reach the peak stage of the Integration Realm, but with the help of his fortune-seeking and misfortune-avoiding talent, he obtained two treasures.】
【One was a mid-grade spiritual artifact, the Glazed Robe!】
【The other was a low-grade spiritual artifact, the Thunder Blade!】
【As Ye Yu’s strength continued to grow, Zhou Xuan was also quite satisfied with him.】
【She continuously urged Ye Yu and Yin Feijing to stop quarreling. If you really have that much free time, Auntie can get you a dual-cultivation manual to practice!】
【To this, both of them refused.】
【Yin Feijing was well aware in her heart that she and Ye Yu were just a pair of foes, not Dao companions at all.】
【Since that’s the case, how could they practice dual-cultivation techniques together?】
【And Ye Yu didn’t want to get too entangled with Yin Feijing either.】
【Otherwise, after waking up from the dream, if Yin Feijing still retained her memories, it would be very troublesome to explain.】
【Therefore, Ye Yu decisively chose to go out and travel!】
【Watching his departing figure, Zhou Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.】
【How many times have I told you, stop fighting, stop fighting.】
【See, now you’ve driven your Dao companion away?】
【Now, listen to Auntie and go get him back!】
【Hearing this, Yin Feijing was speechless.】
【Regarding the relationship issue with Ye Yu, she had already explained it many times.】
【But no matter what, Zhou Xuan just wouldn’t believe it.】
【At this point, Yin Feijing was really too lazy to explain anymore, so she left straight away.】
【After returning to her own blessed land, Yin Feijing wanted to start cultivating, but her heart couldn’t settle down.】
【For some reason, she felt incredibly irritated.】
【This state made her quite unhappy.】
【Could it be that she had really gotten used to the days with Ye Yu by her side?】
【On the other side, as Ye Yu traveled, he passed by Wangyou Mountain.】
【Memories of the past surfaced in his mind, and he immediately leapt down.】
