Oh no! Colorless...
New Year's Eve, tomorrow marks 　　the beginning of the Wuxu year. Speaking of Wuxu, one thinks of the Hundred Days' Reform, the Six Gentlemen of the Hundred Days' Reform...
This happened 120 years ago. 60 years ago, in the previous Wuxu year, 1958, the August 23 Artillery Battle broke out. From then on 　　, artillery fire continued until 1979. The Kuomintang dropped hundreds of thousands of shells on Kinmen, which became 　　an inexhaustible source of raw materials for making Kinmen kitchen knives... 　　Little Fox is naturally a character in the later part of the story, the second female lead, whose status is only lower than that of the first female lead, Li Xueqing. 　　=== 　　...　　　　　　　　　　　　Don't say it's impossible. Li Xueqing did it before, but her status as a cultivator who followed the Heavenly Dao allowed her to escape unscathed; only 　　those who pursued her were reduced to ashes. 　　Because the Ten Thousand Thunder Mountain-Protecting Array is delayed in its activation, no one knows whether the area they're standing on is within the array's coverage 　　. By the time they find out, they're likely already reduced to ashes. 　　The reason the Wendao Sect chose such a location so close to the Heavenly Dao Holy Sect is said to be because the Wendao Sect's predecessor 　　was established by the Heavenly Dao Holy Sect as a temporary residence for those who hadn't yet broken through to the second level of Qi Refining. The so-called "following the Heavenly Dao" cultivation requires breaking through 　　the second level of Qi Refining and obtaining Heavenly Dao's recognition. Those who haven't broken through, even if they cultivate the Celestial Ancestor's Azure Sky 　　True Technique, will still be cleaved into ashes. 　　Because this place was similar to the outer sect of the Heavenly Dao Holy Sect, it was called "Asking the Dao"—to question 　　the Heavenly Dao and ascend to the Holy Sect. 　　Later, in an era of conflict between righteous and rebellious cultivators, the Asking the Dao Sect's camp became a battleground for both sides. The Heavenly 　　Dao Holy Sect almost always stationed several Nascent Soul cultivators here to guard against the rebellious cultivators. However, as the rebellious cultivator system gradually matured, 　　fewer and fewer people came to the Heavenly Dao Holy Sect to inquire about the Dao. In the end, both the Asking the Dao camp and the Heavenly Dao Holy Sect disappeared, and 　　the rebellious cultivators, who occupied this land effortlessly, established the Asking the Dao Sect. 　　Interestingly, the Asking the Dao Sect actually did not have a spiritual vein; its spiritual energy actually came from the Heavenly Dao Mountain, a 　　top-grade spirit stone mountain. 　　If you observe the Myriad Thunder Protectorate Array from directly above Tiandao Mountain, you'll notice a gap in this direction 　　that allows spiritual energy to leak out slightly. The total number of array diagrams is also about 10% less than in other directions. After all, powerful cultivators 　　wouldn't dare display a bunch of array diagrams capable of blasting the newbies at the Dao Inquiry Camp in front of them. 　　If those Nascent Soul stage cultivators had rushed in this direction back then, they might have been able to run a few more steps— 　　but forget about passing through! The array's range covers the entire Tiandao Mountain; unless you directly pass through, it can bombard wherever you go 　　, with absolutely no blind spots! 　　Because of this, the spiritual energy leaking from Tiandao Mountain flowed directly to Wendao Sect. Although it couldn't transform Wendao Sect into a 　　blessed land, in this era where spiritual energy was becoming increasingly scarce, being able to stably receive a supply of spiritual energy from a mountain of top-grade spirit stones 　　was already a great blessing. 　　It should be understood that top-grade spirit stones are theoretically only found in the Spirit Realm, let alone an entire mountain. Even 　　a tiny leak was more abundant than Wendao Sect's thigh. 　　However, besides the direction from Wendao Sect, the Ten Thousand Thunder Mountain-Protecting Array also had small openings of spiritual energy in other places. 　　After all, this was a large array pieced together by countless Nascent Soul cultivators, and it couldn't cover every aspect. Some of the more presentable 　　spiritual energy outlets became the settlements of cultivation families and demon clans around Tiandao Mountain. 　　On the opposite side of Wendao Sect, there was a small fox clan settlement. 　　This fox clan settlement has a significant history, reportedly descended from the Tu Shan lineage of Qingqiu Mountain. In the history of Qingqiu Mountain 　　, the Tu Shan, You Su, and Chun Hu families were all renowned clans that produced nine-tailed foxes. Even today, the 　　You Su lineage, which holds power in Qingqiu Mountain, still has several Nascent Soul stage fox demons. 　　However, when it comes to higher-level forces in the spirit world, the Tu Shan clan holds an overwhelming advantage. Besides Tu Jiao, the 　　legendary first to achieve the nine-tailed celestial fox realm and reach the Saintly Realm, there are also several eight-tailed foxes at the Tribulation Transcending stage 　　, all of whom are cultivating naturally! 　　However, that's the situation in the spirit world; in the human realm of Qingqiu Mountain, the Tu Shan is the weakest faction. 　　As the weakest branch of the fox clan, this fox settlement was naturally not strong. The highest-ranking fox was only a 　　sixth-tier demon fox that had cultivated a third tail, equivalent to the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm. The rest were almost all first or second-tier, and 　　there were even ordinary foxes. 　　With such strength, wiping out the Wang Hao family would be effortless, but against some medium to large-sized cultivation families, it would 　　be a one-way trip. Therefore, this fox settlement deeply understood the principle of keeping their heads down and almost never left the mountains. 　　However, as the saying goes, "misfortune can strike from the sky while you're sitting at home," sometimes even if you've mastered the art of turtle-like 　　restraint, people will still provoke you. 　　A white shadow flashed through the dense forest, moving with a speed and agility that even wild beasts could hardly match, weaving through countless 　　branches and fallen logs. 　　The white shadow was actually a small, snow-white fox, but strangely, it had 　　three tails trailing behind it! 　　It's important to know that the number of tails a fox spirit has is absolutely related to its cultivation level. A first-tier fox 　　spirit, equivalent to the Qi Refining stage, has one tail; second to fourth-tier Foundation Establishment stage fox spirits have two tails; and only fifth to seventh-tier Core Formation stage fox spirits have three tails. This 　　little fox spirit was only at the first tier of cultivation, yet it possessed three tails, clearly indicating it was no ordinary fox spirit. 　　Just as the little fox demon darted through a tree hole, a loud bang suddenly came from behind, followed by a powerful 　　shockwave of spiritual energy that sent the little fox demon tumbling several feet away. 　　"Grandpa Ancestor! I'm sorry... I'm sorry! Waaaaah!" The little fox demon finally stopped and spoke in human language, 　　tears welling up in its big, dark eyes, but its four legs still charged forward without stopping. 　　It knew that its ancestor had self-destructed its demon core, just to give it, the most talented creature in the settlement, a better chance to escape 　　the capture of human cultivators.

Born with three tails, it quickly learned to speak human language from its ancestor, the fox demon. This
greatly excited the entire fox demon community, as speaking human language
was an ability typically possessed only by eighth-order nascent-stage demons, and even among fox demons, speaking required at least sixth-order. Only the ancestor
possessed this ability in the entire community.
In the history of fox demons, those born with such characteristics were almost always
powerful beings capable of ascending to the spirit realm; the legendary nine-tailed celestial fox, Tu Jiao, was one such example.
This shows just how delighted the little fox demon was by its birth. They
didn't dream of reaching the realm of true immortals; as long as another fifth-tier fox spirit emerged, the settlement's safety would be more guaranteed.
After the ancestor passed away, the little fox spirit could at least preserve the settlement for a few more centuries.
They had no ambition; living a peaceful life was enough for them.
But this little fox, treated like a princess by her tribe, was not one to settle for a quiet life. Lively and active, she
would run outside whenever she had the chance. After all, only she and the ancestor could talk in the settlement, but the generation gap between them, spanning hundreds of years, couldn't
be easily bridged.
Therefore, whenever she seized an opportunity, she would run down the mountain.
After one or two times, she inevitably came to the attention of the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Although these people were all mortals,
the rumor of "a three-tailed fox on the mountain" still spread.
As the saying goes, even the tightest eggs have cracks, and the little fox had no sense of secrecy whatsoever. Before long, its story
reached the ears of a wandering cultivator who happened to be passing through. The cultivator initially thought it was just a rural legend and not to be
believed, but then the little fox brazenly emerged from the woods, grabbed a
fruit from someone's yard, and ran off, attracting a chase from the family.
This greatly excited the cultivator—a three-tailed fox cub! If he could capture and tame it, it would be a
fighter capable of at least reaching the Core Formation stage. Even if he didn't use it himself, he could sell it for mid-grade spirit stones.
However, he also knew that the three-tailed fox cub's origins were definitely not simple; at least, they were beyond what he, at the Qi Refining stage, could handle alone
. While the cub wasn't strong, it was close to reaching the first stage. Therefore, he sought help from friends to capture it together
. However, the news leaked, and a medium-sized cultivation family nearby beat them to it.
This was not good news for the group of rogue cultivators, and it was a catastrophic
blow to the little fox and its settlement. A few Qi Refining stage rogue cultivators—let alone the fox demon ancestor—even a single second or third-tier fox demon could easily wipe them out.
But that family sent two Core Formation stage cultivators and over twenty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in one go!
In a medium-sized cultivation family, a Core Formation stage cultivator is a treasure. Normally, capturing a mere Qi Refining stage fox cub wouldn't warrant such a use,
but this fox's value was simply too great.
If they tamed it, the family would gain a
combatant who only required food and was guaranteed to be at least a Core Formation stage cultivator. Moreover, demonic beasts have much longer lifespans than humans; a Core Formation stage human cultivator lives to a maximum of five hundred years,
while a Core Formation stage fox demon can live for over two thousand years. This demonstrates the immense value of this little fox.
These family cultivators hadn't expected that the high-level cultivators they had sent out for safety would actually come in handy. They initially
thought the mountain only contained some Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts, but upon ascending, they found a sixth-tier three-
tailed fox, dozens of first- to fourth-tier demonic beasts, and a group of ordinary foxes—including their target, the little three-tailed
fox.
Seeing their attempt to secretly capture it failed, the human cultivators decided to exterminate the entire fox clan. One mid-Core Formation stage
cultivator held off the fox ancestor, while the remaining Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators began
slaughtering all the foxes around the little fox, regardless of their cultivation level.
The fox ancestor quickly realized the humans' intentions, but it had no better option than to immediately order
the little fox to escape. The other foxes desperately tried to stop the enemy's advance, using demonic arts, claws, and tails—even if
all was useless, they would still try to ram the fox before dying.
"Run! They're after you!" the fox patriarch shouted at the little fox. The cultivator fighting
it was no less powerful than itself and was determined to stall for time. Even if the fox patriarch was stronger, it wouldn't be able to escape the other
's entanglement. Meanwhile, another Core Formation cultivator was slaughtering its own fox cubs and grandchildren. Once that was over, the fox
patriarch would have difficulty escaping, let alone protecting the little fox from these people, as it faced two Core Formation cultivators.
"I won't..." the little fox tried to say something, but its body was swept away by a fox tail. When it got up
, it saw that it was its father who had done it.
The little fox's parents couldn't speak, but their eyes clearly told it to run. At that moment, a Foundation Establishment
cultivator rushed forward, but was fiercely bitten by the fox father, who also took a blow,
his fur stained with blood.
"Run!" The fox ancestor shook off his opponent with his tail and roared at the little fox, "Remember these guys,
and avenge us when you've cultivated enough!"
Although the little fox was innocent and simple, it wasn't stupid. It knew that staying was useless
and would only cause these people to fight to the death with the ancestors. If it ran away, it might be able to draw away some enemies and
reduce the burden on the ancestors.
"It ran away!" Seeing their target escape, the group of cultivators naturally planned to abandon their enemies and give chase.
The materials from fox demons weren't expensive; the only noteworthy items in the entire fox demon settlement were probably a small fox and the ancestor's demon
core. The former was even much more expensive than the latter. Now that
their cash cow was about to run away, how could they not give chase? But at this moment, the fox demons pounced like madmen. Regardless of their cultivation level, all the fox demons
abandoned their enemies and charged towards the humans who were about to pursue the small fox.
"Damn it!" Watching the small fox disappear into the jungle, the leading Core Formation cultivator cursed.
"Hmph, you're the ones who deserve to die!" The fox demon ancestor swatted away the opponent's magical flying sword with a paw, saying.
"Where could a mere, low-ranking fox demon possibly go? You might as well just die!"
"Heh." The fox demon ancestor chuckled mockingly, looking at his descendants still locked in bloody battle, and
those already dead, and said indifferently:
"Heavenly Dao Mountain."
"What!" The Core Formation cultivator's expression changed.
"Fool!" The fox demon ancestor's fur stood on end, and his demonic power surged.
Because the little fox possessed extraordinary talent, it was taught
the "Heavenly Fox Technique," a fundamental cultivation method passed down through the Tu Shan lineage since ancient times. This technique was the foundation of Tu Jiao's "Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Fox," but due to its extreme
difficulty in entry, the fox demons had always been unwilling to practice it.
It's important to understand that while fox demons' intelligence awakens relatively early, they still need to approach the Core Formation stage to reach
a level comparable to a child. The Heavenly Fox Technique, however, requires them to start from the Qi Refining stage, and with difficulties from the very beginning, it was
naturally unpopular. They preferred to cultivate
techniques that utilized the allure of the fox clan, such as the "Fox Charm Technique" and the "Thousand Fox Illusionary World Technique," or, like the Demon Fox Ancestor, to learn
techniques that involved direct combat using their demonic bodies, such as the "Overlord Fox King Technique" and the "Nine-Tailed Immortal Slaying Technique." As for the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Fox... aside from the rumored ability to achieve immortality, it seemed to be of little significance
.
Among these techniques, only the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Fox was a direct cultivation method.
The Demon Fox Ancestor was initially unaware of this,
only discovering it when a little fox wandered into the Heavenly Dao Mountain area and brought back a spiritual herb. Under the little fox's innocent gaze of "give it to the Ancestor,"
the Demon Fox Ancestor's cultivation level increased significantly.
If it weren't for the humans attacking, and if the little fox had gone to Tiandao Mountain a few more times, the fox ancestor would probably
have reached the eighth level of human transformation sooner or later.
After all, even the weeds on Tiandao Mountain are fourth-level spiritual herbs!
At this time, Tiandao Mountain became the little fox's greatest refuge. As long as it escaped into the Ten Thousand Thunder Mountain Protection Formation,
even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to catch it.
"Hmph! Sixth Brother, let's deal with it together!" the Core Formation cultivator shouted. The
Core Formation cultivator who had just killed a third-level fox threw down the fox corpse and charged over using a seal magic weapon.
"Hahaha!" The seal spun in the air, growing larger than a tabletop, and smashed directly into the Fox Demon Ancestor,
breaking several bones with a cracking sound. But the Fox Demon Ancestor, spitting blood, laughed loudly
: "Humans, you're even more stupid than demon beasts!"
Before the two Core Formation cultivators could even understand what this meant, the Fox Demon Ancestor's body exploded.
Before they could even utter the words "Demon Core Self-Destruction," they were already swept into the violent explosion. The Foundation Establishment cultivators and foxes fighting nearby
were also not spared.
The Fox Demon Ancestor intended to use the lives of the entire settlement to exchange for the little fox's life.
Although the other foxes were not very intelligent, they knew the little fox's importance; as long as the little fox lived,
one day she would avenge them!
With a deafening roar, everything within a hundred feet, living or dead, was engulfed by the explosion
, which was filled with demonic energy. After a long while, the Core Formation cultivator who had previously held off the fox demon ancestor
emerged from the ground, covered in soot.
"Damn it!" he muttered, pulling a small bottle from his storage bag and swallowing the pill inside.
Although he wasn't dead, a section of his left hand was missing, and blood continued to gush out like a fountain until the pill took
effect and stopped the bleeding. But his hand was destined to be crippled.
He was relatively lucky; at least his natal magic weapon was only affected by the explosion and lost much of its spiritual power. The
sixth brother, who used the seal, was much worse off. His natal seal magic weapon was the first to be shattered by the explosion. Then, because his natal magic weapon was destroyed
and his soul was damaged, he didn't even have the ability to activate his spiritual energy shield before being blasted into pieces.
He only realized at the moment of the explosion that the fox ancestor's earlier surge of demonic energy wasn't for attack, but
rather to gather power for the explosion. Moreover, it deliberately maintained this power at an extremely dangerous balance. Let alone
being hit so hard by the seal, even a small cut from his flying sword would have likely triggered the explosion. Of course, this
time the detonation point wasn't him; he was lucky to escape with his life.
Even a Core Formation cultivator had perished, so naturally the rest wouldn't survive either. The sudden loss of so many Foundation
Establishment cultivators was a devastating blow to that cultivation family. What was most infuriating was that they
hadn't even obtained a single fox fur in this operation.
The little fox had escaped, and the demon fox ancestor's demon core had self-destructed. They hadn't gotten the two most valuable things, and the other
demon foxes had been caught in the explosion and turned into fragments, not even usable as materials. A huge number of people had died for nothing.
The Core Formation cultivator stared in the direction of Heavenly Dao Mountain for a long time, finally giving up and chasing after it. What if
the little fox had run back again?
On the other side, the little fox, caught in the blast, continued to run desperately forward, its large, dark eyes
brimming with tears. It didn't know where it should run, only desperately
fleeing towards the "dangerous place" its ancestor had spoken of, hoping that the place it had only visited once could save its life.
But it had no confidence whatsoever; after all, it hadn't sensed any danger from that place, but rather, the spiritual energy there
was outrageously abundant.
Just then, a sound of breaking branches came from behind.
"Squeak!" Hearing this sound, the little fox quickened its pace.
The Core Formation cultivator behind him, though arriving at an extremely fast speed, was teetering on the edge. The Ten Thousand Thunder Mountain-Protecting
Array was irregularly shaped, covering more than a dozen mountains surrounding Heavenly Dao Mountain. This particular mountain was right on the edge
; who knew where the array would be triggered? If he wasn't careful, he would perish here, and no
one would dare to collect his corpse.
The little fox, charging headlong into the distance, was completely unaware of this. By the time it realized the forest was gone, it had already
plunged off the cliff.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
A Qi Refining stage demonic beast, of course, couldn't fly…
