112: The Secret of the Little White Fox

The Flying Ship Warship sailed slowly under Li Daoxuan's control.

Li Daoxuan glanced at Little White Fox from time to time, and then, the Aura fluctuations around Little White Fox suddenly became very intense.

Li Daoxuan was stunned and murmured, "This Little White Fox is about to Breakthrough?"

She was on the verge of a Breakthrough, but then, Little White Fox's Aura suddenly dropped, clearly indicating insufficient preparation.

Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate; with a wave of his hand, High-Grade Spirit Stones surrounded Little White Fox, and Li Daoxuan set up a Spirit Gathering Array.

At this point, with Little White Fox at the center, the pure Spirit Qi from the Spirit Stones continuously gathered towards her.

Little White Fox re-entered the Breakthrough state.

With Li Daoxuan's help, Little White Fox's Breakthrough was much smoother this time, almost a matter of course.

Little White Fox's Physical Body grew a bit larger, and her Cultivation also advanced from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Soul Transformation Stage.

"Bad guy, thank you for your help."

Li Daoxuan was startled and said with a smile, "A bad guy wouldn't help you; he'd capture you, then... hehehe..."

"Hmph!"

"By the way, Little Fox, I still don't know what to call you? And why did the Soaring Moon Sky Wolf Tribe try to capture you?"

Little White Fox's mood instantly soured, but she still said, "You can call me Nine; my family all calls me that."

"As for the Soaring Moon Sky Wolf Tribe and our Phantom White Fox Clan, we have a long-standing feud."

The Phantom Fox Clan has two major natural enemies:

The biggest natural enemy on the ground is the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Clan.

And the other natural enemy comes from the sky, the Wind-Riding Violet Lightning Hawk; both of these tribes enjoy hunting the Phantom White Fox Clan.

Little White Fox said indignantly, "The Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Clan is truly despicable; they actually put aside their grudges and allied with the Wind-Riding Violet Lightning Hawk Clan to simultaneously attack our tribal land."

It's important to know that the Soaring Moon Sky Wolf and the Wind-Riding Violet Lightning Hawk Clan are also mortal enemies; the Wind-Riding Violet Lightning Hawk not only likes to hunt the Fox Clan but also the Wolf Clan.

Two mortal enemies actually joined forces simultaneously, just to exterminate the White Fox Clan.

Why is this?

Li Daoxuan was very puzzled.

According to the intelligence records, the Phantom White Fox Clan is skilled in illusion techniques, incredibly fast, and most remarkably, they are very intelligent and cunning.

The Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Clan, on the other hand, is extremely brutal and bloodthirsty, yet very united.

The Wind-Riding Violet Lightning Hawk Clan possesses the attributes of wind and lightning, especially adept at riding the wind, making them the overlords of the sky.

The Phantom White Fox Clan has been able to use their intelligence to navigate between the other two clans; the three clans have been mutually restraining each other and have coexisted for a very long time.

It can be considered a three-way standoff in this vast land.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't the Wind-Riding Violet Lightning Hawk and the Soaring Moon Sky Wolf also mortal enemies? Why would they want to exterminate your clan?"

"This... this..."

Little White Fox was momentarily speechless; after all, this was a very important secret within the Fox Clan.

But Li Daoxuan was her savior and had also helped her Breakthrough her Cultivation, so she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Little White Fox's dark eyes darted around, and in the end, she decided to tell Li Daoxuan.

"By the way, I still don't know your name?"

"You can call me Li Daoxuan."

"Li Daoxuan? I remember that." Little White Fox then said, "Actually, there's a reason why they united against our Fox Clan."

"What reason?" Li Daoxuan immediately became interested.

Little White Fox was very dejected and said sadly, "Actually, it's all because of me; I caused the death of the entire Fox Clan."

"You?"

"Yes, it's because of me."

Little White Fox probably felt that since the entire Fox Clan was exterminated, keeping this secret no longer held any meaning.

Then Little White Fox spilled the secret to Li Daoxuan all at once.

"Our Phantom White Fox Clan has always lived in the Qingqiu Fox Country."

"I heard in the legends passed down within our clan that our Phantom White Fox Clan possesses a trace of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline."

Li Daoxuan secretly gasped in surprise, 'Goodness, this world actually has Qingqiu and the legend of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.'

"Do you know about the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head, pretending not to know. Little White Fox said proudly, "The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is a very powerful Divine Beast in the Immortal Realm."

"Many people know that for our White Fox Clan, the number of tails represents the strength of our power; as our strength increases, more tails will continuously grow."

"But what the world doesn't know is that there's a situation where a White Fox is born with nine tails."

Li Daoxuan said in surprise, "You're not born with nine tails, are you?"

"That's right! The more tails one is born with, the better the Aptitude, and the higher the Bloodline purity."

Little White Fox suddenly asked, "Do you know what being born with nine tails means?"

"It means I can 100% Ascend to the Immortal Realm, and it means our Fox Clan can easily break the three-clan co-existence situation."

"A White Fox born with nine tails is even rarer than your Human Race's Heaven Rank High Grade Spiritual Root."

"According to our clan's records, in these ten thousand years, I am the only such exception."

"Hiss~" Li Daoxuan couldn't help but gasp, but Li Daoxuan's next sentence almost made Little White Fox explode.

"You don't seem small, so why are you still so weak?"

Little White Fox stood up on her hind legs, pointing her right paw at Li Daoxuan and saying, "I... you... I'm not talking to you anymore."

As if greatly insulted, Little White Fox explained, "Can our Yao Race be compared to your Human Race?"

Li Daoxuan was simply spouting nonsense; Little White Fox's voice sounded like a young girl, and in the Fox Clan, she was still a child.

Also, the Yao Race's Cultivation speed is inherently slow.

A top Prodigy of the Human Race might reach the Crossing Tribulation Stage in less than a hundred years, but the Yao Race would take at least a thousand years.

Of course, the Yao Race is not without shortcuts; that is to transform into human form early, which makes the Cultivation speed much faster.

Early transformation has its advantages, but also its disadvantages.

For example, the most fundamental and important aspect of the Yao Race is their Physical Body.

Once they transform early, the advantage of the Physical Body will decrease, and the Cultivation process will focus more on Qi refinement rather than the simultaneous Cultivation of Yao elemental power and the Yao body.

Little Fox secretly peeked at Li Daoxuan, and seeing that he wasn't responding, she couldn't help but say, "Li Daoxuan, what are you thinking about?"

Li Daoxuan couldn't possibly tell her that he was scheming against her.

Little White Fox's Aptitude was so good; if she became his contracted beast, wouldn't he soar in the future?

However, Li Daoxuan still gave up. Ascension? For him, it was just a matter of finding a few more Dao Companions and having countless more children.

Or perhaps let Little Fox also be his...

This was clearly better than becoming a contracted beast. The woman with the best Aptitude Li Daoxuan had met should be the Sect Master, right?

Thinking bad thoughts, he teased, "Little White Fox, you..."

"My name is Nine!"

"Mmm, I know, Little White Fox. You told me such an important secret; aren't you afraid I'll sell you?"

"You... you shouldn't... right?"
