Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

After reading this piece of documentation, he continued to look at other stone slabs, reading some interpretations of the Celestial Law, browsing through some bizarre cases, and then came across discussions about the further studies of current leaders from Vassal Kingdoms.

[Upon completing their studies and returning to the Vassal Kingdoms, they would change their identity recognition, considering themselves as part of the Sovereign Kingdom, abandoning the native attire of the Vassal Kingdoms, wearing crowns and robes daily]

"Crowns? Robes?"

Such items, in the Nine Kingdoms, are considered ceremonial attire, not daily wear. Even the Immortals of the Nine Kingdoms do not wear them regularly.

[Even upon returning to the Vassal Kingdoms, they would strive to safeguard the Sovereign Kingdom, forbidding any action against it and any words speaking ill of it]

Bai Mo smirked.

This section seemed odd, almost unreal.

Yet, instinctively, it felt familiar, incredibly reasonable, incredibly realistic!

[Some gifted Immortals furthering their studies, after many years, ascend to Sequence Three, seated among the Marquises, on equal footing with the Master of the Pill Palace from their study years, still will not forget the place where they studied, and will protect it all their life]

"Uh... almost seems like they’ve been bewitched?"

Bai Mo clicked his tongue, putting down these documents.

In the blink of an eye, the tea was finished, the pancakes eaten, and even the frosting, sesame seeds, and pancake crumbs in the plate were licked clean by his two disciples. The cafeteria bell for meals rang right on time.

Clang...

Bai Mo smiled, stood up, and called to his two disciples.

"Let’s go, time to eat!"

...

Amidst the layered mountains, palaces stretched across.

The vermillion palace walls appeared dim, glazed tiles were dust-covered, gigantic copper pillars rusted to a greenish-blue, while square tall platforms pierced through roaring winds.

This was the Alchemy Celestial Palace!

Unlike other dreamlike ruins, this place was surprisingly intact, not collapsing, not broken, just covered in the dust of ages.

In the dim great hall, the Celestial Palace Inheritor sat cross-legged on a mat, wearing glasses, staring intently at a pot of flowers, frowning, his ears raised, trying to hear the sound of the flowers.

Beside him, an elder with three long strands of a beard, clad in a white robe, stood quietly, waiting.

After a long time, he softly spoke.

"Can’t hear anything?"

"It shouldn’t be."

"You have Cyan Emperor’s bloodline."

"Since you’ve ascended to Sequence Six relying on this bloodline, you should be able to inherit his [Common Grass Knowledge]."

The Celestial Palace Inheritor lowered his head, feeling quite embarrassed.

"This... can this really be inherited? Back then, the Cyan Emperor’s sons, they..."

The Ancient Immortal was stumped.

The Cyan Emperor’s sons indeed didn’t inherit this.

The current Celestial Palace Inheritor couldn’t even count how many generations away from the Cyan Emperor they were, so not inheriting seemed normal?

Upon this thought, the Ancient Immortal let out an awkward smile.

"Ah, right, you have a point.

"If you didn’t inherit it, then you didn’t.

"Inheriting it is a pleasant surprise; not inheriting it is expected.

"That technique of the Cyan Emperor might not even be a bloodline ability... perhaps it’s an Immortal Technique mastered to the extreme? Who knows.

"Forget about it.

"Even after ascending to Sequence Six, do not be complacent.

"In this world, there are too many Fallen Immortals, too many geniuses, although Celestial Palace bloodlines are few, Prince bloodlines are many.

"We even have reasons to suspect... another [Blood Theft Unrest] has already begun.

"In any case, seize the time to start the next step of Cultivation!"

...

"Waah waah waah!"

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

In the cafeteria of Fox Mountain, the fragrant and sweet aroma filled the entire hall.

Around the small stone table, Quanquan Hu, White Ears, Black Ears, and other foxes were somewhat aggrieved.

Recently unearthed were all remnants of the Celestial Law Court!

They had dug these up before, very familiar. Most documents inside had little value.

The documents of the Root System Domain that Master wanted, they just couldn’t find, it made the foxes so mad!

"Awoo!"

Quanquan Hu fiercely nibbled a big mouthful of grape jam sponge cake, furiously chewed, and gulped it down fiercely.

"Awoo!"

White Belt fiercely drank a big swig of sweet apple wine, fervently tasted, then fiercely swallowed.

They were all frustrated, turning grief into appetite!

This meal today, they all planned to eat more!

Bai Mo, in the corner of the cafeteria, while eating the grape jam sponge cake, looked at the red cotton flower in the pot next to him.

"This thing..."

This red cotton flower can absorb cooking fumes, purify the air. The cafeteria had many pots, serving as smoke extractors.

At this moment, Bai Mo’s Divine Sense penetrated the soil of this pot of red cotton flower, focusing on its root system.

"The stone in the soil earlier, has it broken?"

Bai Mo remembered very clearly that once in the soil filled in this flower pot, there was a piece of stone. The roots of the red-cotton flower could only grow around the stone.

But now, over the days in the battle with the roots, the stone somehow lost, was penetrated, impaled, and inserted, and has already cracked, shattered, and turned to powder!

Even the powder formed has been absorbed by this red-cotton flower’s roots as nutrition.

"The strength of plant roots is also remarkable."

Bai Mo smacked his lips.

...

The Celestial Palace Inheritor followed his master, walking through the dust-covered winding corridor, towards a certain place in the palace.

"...Since you’ve already reached Sequence Six, don’t delay, start creating the knowledge container as soon as possible."

"The knowledge containers in the Alchemy Dao are six in total, namely, root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, seed."

"Your first task is to learn root!"

The Celestial Palace Inheritor, bewildered, suddenly asked.

"Master, why not learn flower first?

"Flower is the domain with the strongest destructive power, right?"

The Ancient Immortal looked puzzled.

"Flower? Strongest in destruction? Who said that? That’s unreasonable... Oh... You’re talking about that Qinghua Rain?

"Ha, fool, simpleton.

"That Qinghua Rain... doesn’t belong to normal Qinghua Rain.

"Moreover, maybe others use different fields of Great Immortal Technique that are stronger than Qinghua Rain, you wouldn’t know, right?"

The Ancient Immortal continued walking while teasing the disciple.

"Among the six knowledge domains in the Alchemy Path, the strongest in destruction is the root!

"Or rather, root is inherently the only organ of a plant with offensive capabilities.

"Root can penetrate into the soil, ravaging the nutrients of the soil!

"It can also penetrate flesh, draining nutrients from it!

"It can crush stones, it can dry marshes!

"It is the instrument of plunder, the tool of destruction for plants!

"In the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, according to tradition, all immortals learned root last.

"But times have changed, we have no choice. You should learn root first; having protective techniques first is most important!"

While speaking, the Ancient Immortal led the Celestial Palace Inheritor to a black palace.

The entire palace was carved from profound stone, no flying eaves or interlocking beams, no windows, only a small door.

The walls were carved with various talismans and array maps, hanging with strings of Turtle Bone Divination Grass, and even on the small door, hung a beast-faced bronze shield, exuding a stern atmosphere.

"Here we are, this is it."

...

After eating and drinking, the excavation work at Fox Mountain resumed, each excavator firing at full power, amidst the roaring sounds, digging out shovel by shovel of soil, excavating increasingly large, increasingly deep pits.

Quanquan Hu, White Ears, and Black Ears, holding small shovels, shuttled through the dusty giant excavation pit, occasionally digging a hole here, occasionally making a bore there.

"Awoo?"

According to Quanquan Hu’s intuition, something should be found, just around here.

Rumble...

Amidst the roaring sounds, it was White Belt, operating the Big Mouth Flower excavator, gobbling a large mouthful of soil.

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

Sitting in the cockpit, it suddenly pointed at the newly exposed black stone and shouted!

This black stone had markings, it was clear something had been found!

This instantly attracted attention!

"Ying ying ying!"

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

Quanquan Hu, donning Immortal Qi Vine Armor, holding a small shovel, led the exploration team rushing over.

First they swung the shovels, huffing, removing a large patch of dirt, revealing more of the black stone surface, seeing more carved symbols.

By this time, the foxes were grinning from ear to ear!

There are characters!

A stone with characters is a good stone!

No matter what characters, it doesn’t matter!

Besides, they couldn’t recognize them.

Excavating sideways, finding the corner of this black stone surface...

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

Based on the foxes’ years of experience, this black stone surface is likely a giant stone block, or an entire palace, house carved from a single stone, buried under the soil.

Quanquan Hu immediately found the position and drew a circle.

It planned to drill down first, explore, and facilitate the planning of subsequent excavation plans.

Whoosh...

But Bai Xingxing operated the Big Mushroom Ship, also coming over.

The Big Mushroom Ship wanted to join in the drilling, providing security support and equipment support!
