Chapter 828 - 809: Strongest Fox Spirit 9
In the grand hall of Biyou Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Leader sat across from each other, drinking wine.
Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad was playing chess alone.
The Tongtian Sect Leader took a sip of wine, "Are we just going to let her play around like that?"
Yuanshi Tianzun smiled faintly, "It’s nothing significant, let her be. That person is protected by our fourth brother and is a variable of the Heavenly Dao."
Lord Lao Zi casually tossed a chess piece, "A great calamity is coming, how our disciples of the three sects fare depends on her, this variable. Anyway, it won’t be too bad, just let her cause some chaos."
None of these three Saints are foolish.
Even though Saints do not intervene in earthly affairs, they are clear-sighted people. How could they not see the essence of Anning?
They all know in their hearts that Anning getting involved might save some disciples. Otherwise, the future is unpredictable.
Even the Tongtian Sect Leader, with tens of thousands of disciples, finds it difficult to mentor them all. Yet, if he truly lost a few, he would be heartbroken.
Yuanshi Tianzun has fewer disciples and is even less willing for anything to happen to them. If one or two were lost, it would cause him great pain.
Lord Lao Zi only has one disciple, so he is the most willing to see a variable appear.
Anning also had a bit of wine.
She was slightly tipsy and headed straight to Xiao Yuan’s cave mansion.
After that, she began a period of closed-door training.
The Three Pure Ones are not blind, how could they not see her foundation?
But seeing that she harbored no malice, they let her cause trouble.
However, if she meddles too much, those three might not tolerate her.
She merely set up a bridge for some exchange between the disciples of the three sects and imposed more constraints on the Jie sect disciples.
There are many things she, a little demon, cannot meddle in excessively.
Biyou Palace is different from other places; here there is a Spirit Vein, so Anning’s cultivation speed naturally became swift.
Moreover, Xiao Yuan left behind various elixirs and rare fruits in the cave mansion, which made Anning’s cultivation progress even smoother.
Her state of mind never posed a problem; she wouldn’t encounter bottlenecks during cultivation, so her cultivation rose like a rocket.
During her days of secluded practice, she advanced from Earth Immortal directly to True Immortal, skipping two major stages.
When she emerged from seclusion, Xiao Yuan also returned.
Xiao Yuan had already established his own cultivation ground, and this time he came to take Anning there.
He informed the Tongtian Sect Leader temporarily, then took Anning and left.
Knowing this, people from Duobao came to see her off, and the Gui Ling Saint Mother, Golden Spirit Saint Mother, and Wudang Saint Mother all secretly gave Anning many treasures. The Tongtian Sect Leader gave Anning a storage ring, filled with various Magic Treasures and rare treasures.
Anning accepted with flair, not refusing at all.
After receiving the items, she transformed into her true form, and Xiao Yuan carried her as they rode off on an auspicious cloud.
In almost an instant, Xiao Yuan took Anning to Yingzhou Island.
This was also a celestial island in the sea, but previously uninhabited, with some little demons who had opened their spiritual acupoints but had not yet transformed into human form, and various rare flowers and trees.
The environment on Yingzhou Island was no different from Penglai, only it was very close to Penglai, so most immortals considered it part of Biyou Palace and dared not occupy it, which benefited Xiao Yuan.
Unlike in Biyou Palace, Xiao Yuan did not establish a cave mansion here but instead built a house on it.
He built ancient palace-style architecture that was particularly large, and at a glance, grander than an ancient Imperial Palace.
In such a short time, Xiao Yuan not only completed the house but also finished the interior decorations.
Additionally, he created a dressing room adjacent to the master bedroom and prepared many treasure clothes for Anning. These garments were beautifully exquisite, each hanging individually in the dressing room.
Besides the clothes, there were many adornments. These weren’t made of gold and silver gemstones like in the mortal world; they were Immortal Artifacts. No one knew where Xiao Yuan had scavenged them from.
Anning did not ask Xiao Yuan how he acquired them.
She simply used whatever Xiao Yuan prepared for her.
Truly, having one’s own cultivation ground makes a difference.
Being at one’s own domain felt more at ease than staying in Biyou Palace.
Every day, she either cultivated or roamed the island, occasionally transforming a few little demons she found pleasing.
Xiao Yuan began to consider taking on disciples as well.
He also transformed a few little demons, and when they assumed human form, Xiao Yuan personally guided their cultivation.
Altogether, Anning and Xiao Yuan transformed five little demons: four males and one female. Among the males, there was a Wolf Demon, a Snake Demon, a Rabbit Demon, and an Eagle Demon, while the female was a White Crane transformation.
Xiao Yuan also named them.
He named the Wolf Demon Qing Kong, the Snow-white Snake Demon, upon transforming, was exceptionally graceful, so Xiao Yuan named him Bai Yi. The Rabbit Demon’s eyes were red, and when it transformed, Spirit Rain happened to fall, so he was named Red Rain. The Eagle Demon’s name was straightforwardly given as Ying Bo, and both the White Crane and the White Snake shared a surname, Bai, so the White Crane was named Bai Yu.
Having taken on disciples, Xiao Yuan also compiled a set of Cultivation Techniques for them to practice independently at first.
After settling the disciples, Xiao Yuan and Anning discussed naming their cultivation ground.
They deliberated back and forth and finally chose the name Dayan.
These words carry a particularly obvious meaning, something The Three Pure Ones would certainly understand if seen.
Anning stayed in Dayan Palace for a long while, deepening her cultivation even further, and after everything on the island was arranged, she departed.
She had to leave because in Xuanyuan Tomb, there was a crowd of students and descendants waiting for her.
This time, Xiao Yuan did not accompany Anning; he remained in Dayan Palace.
In these times, it was indeed challenging for Xiao Yuan to show himself too much in the world.
Anning’s journey back to Xuanyuan Tomb was especially smooth. She encountered no foolish individuals nor any demons seeking to capture her as a mountain’s wife.
Mainly because her cultivation had become profound, reaching the True Immortal Late Stage, and if she advanced further, she would become a Profound Immortal, which common demons did not dare provoke.
Upon returning to Xuanyuan Tomb, the little fox spirits were overjoyed to see Anning.
Some rushed to welcome their ancestor Anning, while others hurried to inform Feng Anan and Shi Antian.
Both quickly arrived.
After the sisters reunited, Anning reviewed the cultivation progress of the little fox spirits. Indeed, during this time, they had not slacked off, as their cultivation had rapidly advanced.
Feng Anan and Shi Antian also progressed significantly in their cultivation, thanks to mastering the proper techniques.
When Anning left, they had just transformed, but they had since reached Human Immortal cultivation.
This was partly attributed to the faint ancient demon bloodline within them; however, both had indeed put in great effort.
Anning saw that these little demons were obedient and their cultivation was commendable, which pleased her greatly.
Thrilled, she began an extensive transformation.
After all, Xuanyuan Tomb was Anning’s domain, and local little demons all knew there was a Nine-tailed Fox guarding it, which deterred troublemakers.
Thus, Anning initiated her land acquisition campaign.
She first claimed a piece of land, set up a protective Array, then started leading the little demons to construct houses.
Indeed, Anning was not accustomed to living in caves or the like, so the first thing she did was build houses for comfort.
Given that there were mountains and forests here, Anning led the little demons to create kilns, dug clay to make bricks, then felled many trees before finally erecting houses.
Some of the little demons had already transformed into human form. They were extraordinarily strong and worked diligently. Moreover, they possessed spells, making brick-making and tree-felling easy tasks.
It didn’t take long before one house after another was constructed.
Anning herself built a courtyard to reside in, while the little demons each built their own homes, turning Xuanyuan Tomb into something akin to an ancient town.
Seeing how well it turned out, Feng Anan and Shi Antian, both unattached, simply moved in with Anning for companionship.
