Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

The place where the Fox Immortal Ancestor secluded himself was called the Fox Immortal Secret Realm, located deep within the Changbai Mountain range.

With Hu Tianbiao leading the way, the group went straight to their destination.

Amidst verdant hills and clear waters, with towering peaks, Hu Tianbiao pointed to a mountain pass ahead: "Master Huaidan, it's just ahead. Please wait a moment until we reach it."

Even without him saying a word, Zhang Chulan could feel the cold, sinister gazes fixed on everyone.

Hu Tianbiao called out, "Brother Huang, please come out and have a chat!"

A sudden gust of wind blew, chilling everyone to the bone, and the sunlight filtering through the leaves dimmed. As Zhang Chulan rubbed his arms, a group of demons appeared in front of him.

Changbai Mountain is the stronghold of the immortals in Northeast China. When the group ventured deep into the secret realm of the fox spirits, they were also deep into Changbai Mountain, and naturally they were noticed by the immortals in the mountain.

But given Hu Tianbiao's status, no immortal dared to step forward and stop him.

Until they were about to enter the Fox Fairy's Secret Realm.

Looking around, one could see the billowing demonic mist condensing into a slender old man, behind whom were the disciples of the five immortal families: fox, yellow, white, willow, and gray.

Surprisingly, these immortals still possessed physical bodies, retaining the forms of beasts, but the shrewd and intelligent glint in their eyes proclaimed that they were entirely different from their ignorant and ignorant counterparts.

While Zhang Chulan was marveling at it, Gao Lian knew exactly what was going on.

Once the immortals awaken their wisdom, they will enter the cultivation of demons.

It is often said that life is only a few decades long, but who knows that the lifespan of demons is far shorter?

When lifespan ends and the physical body decays, if an immortal can condense a spiritual body, it means they have potential; otherwise, they disappear just like their physical body.

Once the spirit body is formed, it continues to cultivate until it passes through the Jia tribulation and has accumulated sixty years of cultivation. Then, the immortals will emerge from the mountains and accept offerings from spirit mediums.

Therefore, although Changbai Mountain is the stronghold of immortals, it is mostly inhabited by minor demons, and outsiders are prohibited from entering.

The group was able to move freely because of Hu Tian!
As for this tall, thin old man...

Gao Lian was startled: "You... could you be the Celestial Ancestor of the Huang Xian family?"

Huang Tianji nodded slightly. Gao Lian was immediately alarmed. Huang Tianji was an elder of the Huang family, and like Ancestor Tianbiao, he was a demon king.

Decades ago, it is said that this ancestor failed in his tribulation and died, but unexpectedly went into seclusion deep in Changbai Mountain.

Hu Tianbiao greeted him: "Brother Huang, it's been decades. How have you been?"

Huang Tianji sighed: "I failed the tribulation, but fortunately I received help from Ninth Aunt and managed to survive. I'm barely maintaining my cultivation as a demon king. Do you think I'm good or bad?"

Hu Tianbiao smiled awkwardly; he was naturally very clear about Huang Tianji.

The Fifth-Grade Demon King attempted to break through to the Sixth-Grade Demon King realm but failed to overcome the Tribulation. He was in danger of dying, but fortunately, Ninth Aunt intervened in time.

Not only did it save Huang Tianji's life, it also preserved his cultivation. Even though he failed the tribulation, he still possessed the cultivation of a four-level demon king!
The little demons with flesh bodies behind him chattered and chirped, seemingly trying to comfort Huang Tianji.

The sorrow on Huang Tianji's face quickly faded, and his gaze sharpened: "Tianbiao, I would be happy if you returned to the mountain alone, and I would also treat you well if you brought a few human guests with you! But!"

His voice was stern: "You led your men all the way here, do you know where this place is? I don't need to remind you, Tianbiao, you can't just tell me it was a coincidence!"

The little demons squeaked and squeaked, radiating considerable wariness and hostility towards Zhang Huaidan and the others.

Hu Tianbiao sneered, "A bunch of juniors, ignorant of their place! Who gave you the right to look down on me like that?"

The demon king's power emanated, causing the lesser demons to tremble with fear, completely disarmed and unable to muster any wariness or hostility.

Hu Tianbiao smiled apologetically: "I hope you won't take offense, Master. Not long ago, they were all uncivilized wild beasts, unaware of the immensity of the earth and the height of the sky."

Huang Tianji was slightly surprised and angry: "Tianbiao!"

He glanced at Zhang Huaidan with apprehension. Hu Tianbiao knew about his past, and he also knew Hu Tianbiao's temperament.

The circle of the immortals in the Northeast is only so big, and those who can reach the level of demon king are extremely rare. Huang Tianji knows every demon king in the Five Immortals family like the back of his hand!

Unexpectedly, Hu Tianbiao would show such an expression, exuding a strong desire to please a human.

Huang Tianji even suspected that he might have been possessed by an evil spirit, otherwise, this would be a disgrace to the immortals of Northeast China!

"It doesn't matter."

Huang Tianji, his thoughts in turmoil, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He was fine when he didn't speak, he was no different from an ordinary human being. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Huang Tianji felt a tremor that went deep into his soul!

After all, it was a being that once attempted to reach the pinnacle of the Demon King realm. Although it failed, it left behind some mysteries.

Carefully examining that tremor, it's like an ant that has crawled its whole life, thinking the world is just the earth beneath its feet, suddenly looking up one day and glimpsing the infinitely high and distant sky, feeling a deep sense of awe!
Huang Tianji's expression changed several times, and he looked at him with surprise and uncertainty: "May I ask who you are?"

Hu Tianbiao shook his head: "Brother Huang, this is True Person Huai Dan. I won't hide it from you, this time I specially brought True Person into the Fox Immortal Secret Realm to meet the Ancestor."

Huang Tianji was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about? Wait a minute..."

His pupils dilated: "Hu Tianbiao, do you even know what you're saying?!"

Huang Tianji was shocked!

Hu Tianbiao must have been possessed by a vengeful spirit!

How can we tell outsiders about the existence of the Fox Spirit Ancestor?

Telling outsiders is one thing, but how could you bring people into the Fox Fairy's Secret Realm!

The accusations of betraying one's master and ancestors, and being an inhuman son, are entirely justified when applied to Hu Tianbiao.

Hu Tianbiao said softly, "Let me explain."

Huang Tianji laughed angrily: "Explain? Is there anything else to explain? Hu Tianbiao, I am acting on the orders of my great-grandmother, teaching the younger generation and protecting the secret realm. Let alone anyone else, even if you want to enter the secret realm, you'll have to step over my dead body first."

At this moment, Feng Baobao suddenly blurted out, "You still have corpses..."

Zhang Chulan and Gao Lian couldn't help but laugh. Great demons basically no longer have physical bodies, let alone demon kings.

Hu Tianbiao roared, "Insolence! Huang Tianji, what makes you think you are? Can you compare to Ninth Aunt? Before we came to the secret realm, we went to see Ninth Aunt. Do you think your will to protect the secret realm can match hers?"

Huang Tianji's pupils shrank sharply: "Tianbiao, what do you mean by this?"

Hu Tianbiao sighed: "Master Huaidan is a living master. No one can stop him from doing what he wants. Even Ninth Aunt couldn't stop him. Who do you think you are? Get out of the way so you don't suffer."

Huang Tianji's face was ashen.

My first thought was that Hu Tianbiao was talking nonsense!
Hu Jiugu is incredibly powerful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's in the top tier below the Fox Fairy Ancestor.

Furthermore, he had personally experienced Hu Jiugu removing the calamity of the Armor Tribulation for him, and he believed that his understanding of Hu Jiugu's cultivation was even superior to that of Hu Tianbiao!

Even the Ninth Aunt couldn't stop it, what a joke!
Huang Tianji's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Hu Tianbiao, I think you are really possessed by evil spirits. Very well, let me see what kind of evil spirit it is!"

Huang Tianji couldn't think of any other reason besides this one!

Hu Tianbiao was both helpless and angry: "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" The demonic energy suddenly erupted, and Huang Tianji was naturally not to be outdone. The two demonic energies intertwined and shot straight into the sky, and the power of the demon king was spread out without restraint.

The group of lesser demons behind Huang Tianji screamed and scattered.

Zhang Chulan also felt a chill run down his spine: "Brother Dan."

Zhang Huaidan smiled and said, "It seems the negotiations have failed. Hu Tianbiao, don't worry about him, let's go."

Hu Tianbiao was shocked. Judging from the strength of the demonic energy, it was basically impossible for him to defeat Huang Tianji.

However, it was not appropriate to let Master Huaidan take action, so upon hearing these words, he immediately suppressed his demonic aura.

He shook his head: "Brother Huang, if you don't believe me, go ask Ninth Aunt."

Before Huang Tianji could speak, his powerful demonic energy instantly retreated back into his body. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Even as it tried to move, its limbs, formed from condensed demonic energy, wouldn't obey its commands, and a look of horror crossed its face: 'Supernatural power—Fox Immortal's Freezing Technique!'

Hu Tianbiao has even learned this trick! How could Ninth Auntie...?

wrong!

Huang Tianji's heart pounded like a drum; it was not a fox spirit's immobilization spell!
The Fox Fairy's Immobilization Technique works directly on the body. Back then, Hu Jiugu used this supernatural power to stabilize the severe injuries he suffered after failing the Tribulation.

Now it's as if a space has been frozen in place, and he, existing within that space, is unable to make any moves.

Who did this?

In an instant, a demon king lost all power to resist!
Soft footsteps sounded, and a graceful figure came into view; Hu Tianbiao was leading the way.

At this moment, the feeling of being confined disappeared. Huang Tianji stared blankly at the backs of the group, clenched his fists, and silently followed behind.

'A True Person?' Is he a True Person, someone who has attained enlightenment, or just a title?

Huang Tianji had mixed feelings. The moment he had just experienced felt like a dream, yet it had clearly revealed a fact.

Arriving at an open space, which was clearly deep in the mountains and forests, not a single blade of grass grew within a hundred meters. In the center of the open space stood a solitary hut.

Hu Tianbiao said softly, "Please look, Master. Inside the small house is the Fox Immortal Secret Realm where the Ancestor is in seclusion."

Zhang Chulan grinned: "That's it? The Fox Fairy Realm? You're kidding me!"

Hu Tianbiao smiled wryly: "I dare not lie to you."

Gao Lian stood there dumbfounded, staring at the small house a hundred meters away.

In his mind, the Fox Fairy Realm, even if it wasn't ethereal and otherworldly, should at least be a secluded place filled with demonic energy.

And you tell me this is the hut? The contrast is too great. Look at the thatched roof. Give Gao Lian half a day and he could build an identical hut!
Zhang Chulan's scalp tingled: "Senior Hu, are you sure we're here?"

Hu Tianbiao nodded solemnly: "I am 100% sure."

The thatched hut a hundred meters away and the solemn look on Hu Tianbiao's face made Zhang Chulan's scalp tingle and start to ache.

"Brother Dan?"

"Walk."

The group stepped onto the open ground, where the ground was no different from the surrounding area. They quickly covered the 100-meter distance and stood in front of the thatched hut.

Hu Tianbiao jumped off Gao Lian's shoulder and knelt down with a thud: "This junior disciple, Hu Tianbiao, brings True Man Huai Dan to pay homage to our ancestor."

Zhang Chulan grinned, looking like he was a child who would make a clay idol out of mud and then bow down in worship.

After a moment, there was no response from inside the house.

Hu Tianbiao was terrified and at a loss for what to do. He stammered, "Master, the Ancestor might..."

Zhang Huaidan frowned and remained silent.

Zhang Chulan put one hand on his hip. He didn't have the same sense of awe as Hu Tianbiao. With Brother Dan behind him, he reached out and knocked on the door under Hu Tianbiao's horrified gaze.

'Bang bang bang~~'

"Is the Fox Immortal Ancestor here?"

There was still no response.

Zhang Chulan clicked his tongue, looking at the thatched hut in front of him with a slightly unsettling expression.

If I remember correctly, both Aunt Hu Jiu and Hu Tianbiao have sworn that the Fox Immortal Ancestor went into seclusion more than a hundred years ago!
In other words, that ancestor was squatting in this thatched hut more than a hundred years ago. So the question is, what kind of magic treasure is in this thatched hut?
How can it still stand after more than a hundred years of wind and frost?
Or perhaps, they were tricked by Hu Jiugu and Hu Tianbiao!

Feng Baobao shook her head: "There's no one inside..."

Zhang Chulan rolled his eyes: "Senior Hu, what do you have to say?"

Hu Tianbiao stood up with a shudder: "How is that possible!"

His eyes were lifeless, which showed that he was restless.

Gao Lian couldn't help but say, "Grandpa Tianbiao, it's not that I doubt you, it's just that this is too frivolous. You couldn't have misremembered the location of the Fox Fairy Secret Realm!"

His eyes were filled with worry. Could it be that Grandfather Tianbiao did this on purpose, deliberately bringing Master Huaidan here?

Hu Tianbiao trembled and met Zhang Huaidan's gaze: "Master Huaidan, I swear, I swear on my life! Absolutely..."

But he found that Zhang Huaidan's gaze was not on him, but rather on looking around.

Zhang Huaidan muttered to himself, "Strange."

A thatched hut that has stood for a century, a clearing in a deep forest with barely any grass, all reveal eerie signs.

What he found most perplexing was that there was no trace of a lost land here!

The Fox Spirit Ancestor is a demon from hundreds of years ago. Although we have never met, we can glean some clues about him through Hu Jiugu's supernatural powers.

The Fox Spirit Ancestor is no longer a simple monster, nor is it some kind of great demon or demon king—just a large ant.

Such an existence, conservatively estimated, surpasses Jiang Fan, the Corpse Demon, by countless margins.

So-called seclusion necessarily means confining oneself to a certain area!
He was lost in thought, with no clear direction, while the three people and the demon stared at him expectantly.

Zhang Huaidan said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Just as Zhang Chulan was about to push the door open, Hu Tianbiao said, "Let me do it."

With a gentle push of his hand, which was condensed with demonic energy, the wooden door creaked open.

In an instant, a strange change occurred!
Zhang Huaidan was slightly dazed, seeing only ethereal mist before his eyes and hearing celestial music. He instantly regained his composure, his eyes slightly opened, and the world seemed to tremble. Forces tried to transport him to an unknown place, but due to the suppression of his True Person status, he remained frozen in place. (End of Chapter)
