Chapter 408 God King Immortal Demon
"Of course it's because of this bad weather."

The nine-tailed white fox gently shook its tail and looked at Chu Tai with some emotion in its eyes.

"Since I became a celestial fox 34,827 years ago, my cultivation has improved very little to this day. I am still stuck at the third rank of your Taiyi Nine-Rank Immortal Path. And how many third-rank cultivators have appeared in your Immortal Path in the past 30,000 years?"

Speaking of this, the white fox couldn't help feeling envious.

"As far as I know, in the past 30,000 years, there have been 671 third-grade cultivators who ascended to Daluo Heaven in your Dongji Chenguang Great Heaven. Among them, 115 people achieved the third grade through ascension, and another 26 people achieved the second grade through various means. And all this is because Dongji Chenguang Great Heaven is the favorite place of the immortals and Taoist masters of Daluo Heaven, and this place gathers a huge amount of luck."

"The creation of this great heaven involved several great Dao Lords, dozens of Dao Lords, and there are even rumors that a Heavenly Lord intervened. The origin is profound and breeds infinite mysteries. In the ancient times of the ancient gods, there were five gods and seventeen emperors who ruled the world together."

Chu Tai was shocked and silently recorded what the white fox said. What the other party said was information that many sects in the world today have not recorded.

The white fox didn't know what he wanted to do. He clearly saw Chu Tai's thoughts. After a pause, he explained: "According to your Taiyi lineage's understanding, the God of the ancient god period is a first-grade cultivator, and the emperor is between the second and first grades."

"However, as time went by, the Ancient God Era declined, and the Saint King Era rose. The first Saint King was both the Emperor of All Spirits and the God of Gods. Unfortunately, as all spirits multiplied, they each had their own thoughts. After the Xuanyuan lineage came to power, the Saint Kings of successive generations mostly moved among your human race, and the last few generations were all people of your human race, which also led to the end of the Saint King Era."

“But the Saint Kings of all generations probably didn’t expect that although they and others had cut off the cultivation paths of most non-humans, destroyed the ways of gods and witches, and collapsed the underworld, the ancient immortal way that was rooted in the human race at that time actually semi-detached from the human system in the later period and became independent, building a period belonging to the ancient immortals in the human era.”

When Baihu said this, it seemed like he was mocking and expressing emotion. Chu Tai listened silently without interrupting.

Seeing this, the nine-tailed white fox continued, "I remember that during the ancient immortal period, there was a lot of conflict between the immortals and the human race. The ancient immortals wanted to be independent, while the human king wanted to annex the ancient immortal path to repair the incomplete Saint King Avenue. The two sides fought fiercely, and it was only when Hunyuan and Qingshi took action to re-establish the immortal path that the connection between the two was severed."

The white fox looked towards the south with some admiration: "Back then, Hunyuan was in charge of the source of the ancient immortal lineage, and his Dao fruit was also the core of the ancient immortal inheritance. Re-establishing the ancient immortal lineage is equivalent to breaking up his Dao fruit and reorganizing it. If things go wrong, the result will be the scattering of souls. Being able to make such a decision back then, this True Lord was also highly regarded in Daluo Heaven."

"But because of this, some of the ancient immortals chose to resist. In particular, Kunlun Mountain, one of the ancient immortal gathering places, suffered a catastrophe because of this. The Kunlun Mountain, which was created by the Dao Qi left by the Dao Lords and Dao Lords in the human world, was cracked in a corner, which also led to the arrival of the Heavenly Demon Era."

"The Age of Demons?"

Chu Tai was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this era.

The nine-tailed white fox smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't know. When the ancient immortals were in turmoil, the demon took a corner of Kunlun Mountain and established West Kunlun. He did not immediately turn to the devil's way, but lived in seclusion in a place similar to a casual cultivator. When the True Lord Hunyuan was reincarnated and Qingshi was the only one supporting him, he swallowed up the secret magic principles of the heavens and achieved the great demon's honor."

"He is also the closest existence to the Saint King level after the end of the Saint King Era. At that time, True Lord Qingshi's cultivation was also damaged due to the reorganization of the immortal way. Facing the powerful demon, he could only protect Kunlun and was unable to stop the spread of the demon way. Later, True Lord Hunyuan returned and was able to suppress the expansion of the demon way, but it was only a situation of equal strength." The nine-tailed white fox had just finished speaking with a slightly sarcastic tone when some power seemed to fall from the dark, scaring the white fox so much that its hair stood up, just like the little red fox before. Its elegance was instantly replaced by fluffiness.

"Damn it! I'm just telling the truth, right? Do you care so much? It's clearly what happened back then, and everyone who should know knows it. What's the point of covering it up like this?"

Although there was a mirror between them, Chu Tai still heard thunder in a trance. Then the nine-tailed white fox disappeared for a moment. When it reappeared, it looked around and made sure that there was no change around it. Then it coughed and continued to explain to Chu Tai.

"You have seen the situation. I cannot tell you the details of what happened back then. I can only say that during the period of the Heavenly Demon, some of the luck of the True Lord Hunyuan and the True Lord Qingshi was taken away by the Heavenly Demon, which delayed their enlightenment until later on..."

Halfway through speaking, the white fox looked around a few times, opened his mouth, but in the end did not utter the name.

"It was the enlightenment of the True Lord you know that ended the Heavenly Demon Era. That era was also the most prosperous era for spiritual practice. The immortal, demon, and Buddhist paths were all flourishing, and the remaining Shinto paths also completely declined during that period."

"The blood demons and Buddha demons in your world today have achieved success in their cultivation in this era, but they may not have attained enlightenment in this period. It could also be the new immortal era that you are in now."

"During this period, Hunyuan and Qingshi successively achieved great success in their cultivation. After the latter achieved great success, he successfully suppressed both the Buddha and the Demon. The only time the Demon tried to resist was when it was Junmo, but that guy was also smart. He did not intend to start a war against the Immortal Path, which was at its peak. Instead, he carved up some of the fate from the Buddha Path, the Human Path, and the Demon Path, and used this to gain the Tao."

"As for the remaining part of the immortal path, it should have been collected by Master Taiyi over the years to help him advance to the first rank. But now Master Taiyi has been severely injured and is in danger of losing his position. Some of his part of the immortal path has leaked out, and has become the target of many people's competition."

Hearing this, Chu Tai was a little curious: "Can a True Lord lose his position?"

"Normally, no. According to the Taiyi classification, although the first-grade True Lord is not as good as the Dao Lord, he also has some characteristics. Unless all traces of him are wiped out from the past, present, and future, he will always have a way to come back. The only thing we who are not first-grade can influence is to occupy a certain amount of luck before he returns, as a shortcut to the second-grade realm. This is also what the Emei Sect and the Wutai Sect are calculating..."

At the end of his speech, the nine-tailed white fox looked at Chu Tai deeply, and his tone became low, revealing part of his true intentions.

Chu Tai pondered for a moment, looked at the other party, and asked, "What is your purpose? You said before that you didn't know. I wonder if you have made a decision now?"

Hearing this, the nine-tailed white fox laughed and said, "I do have a little idea. If I didn't have this idea, I wouldn't tell you those ancient stories that have been hidden for a long time."

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I am both brave and timid. I have the courage to interfere with the changes in the fate of the Eastern Heaven, but I don't have the courage to interfere with the overall situation of the changes in fate. I only hope that a little help can help me break through and be promoted to the so-called second-grade realm. I will be satisfied."
