This thing has only one function: to guide a cultivator to sense the existence of the world's origin in the shortest possible time.
This thing isn't very useful for people with low strength.
Under normal circumstances, one must at least reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before one can have any effect.
However, the upper limit of heaven and earth is now locked at the Nascent Soul stage. If Su Chen wants to continue pushing the upper limit of heaven and earth in reverse, he needs to figure out what the current state of the world's origin is.
Although this step carries a certain degree of risk, it is one that Su Chen has no choice but to take.
Extraterrestrial beings could appear at any time, and he must find a way to make the world stronger in the shortest amount of time.
Even more than 5,000 years ago, extraterrestrial creatures had already appeared. These creatures have been wandering on the edge of the world and could break in at any time.
"Do you know this guy surnamed Zhang or not?" the garrison commander pressed.
"I know many people with the surname Zhang. Which one are you referring to?"
"Zhang Yang," the garrison commander uttered.
"I don't know," Su Chen replied decisively.
“You couldn’t possibly not know.” The guardian stopped Su Chen. “Many of the things here were left behind by him. If you didn’t know him, you would never be so relaxed.”
"What does it matter whether I know him or not?"
"This is a rule left behind by the former number one guardian, who was also the demon king back then." The guardian took out a piece of leather from his body. "If any human can bypass the guardian and enter the demon realm, then give this to him."
The garrison commander simply tossed the leather in his hand over.
"you can go now."
"No, what is this thing? There's nothing on it, it's just an ordinary piece of animal hide?"
Su Chen's questioning went unanswered. The guardian could neither drive them away nor take action. But that didn't mean he couldn't command the demons.
The sudden appearance of the demon race directly pushed Su Chen out of the passage to the demon realm.
"Lord Guardian, since I'm doing this for you, can I go out first?" The Nascent Soul stage demon's eyes were full of cunning.
“If you’re not afraid of death, you can leave the passage now. I can guarantee I’ll kill you before you get out,” the guardian said in a low voice.
"You've guarded this place for so many years, yet the seal outside has been broken, and humans have even been allowed in. Why can't you let us out?"
"If you want to ask, go ask the Demon King back then why he set this rule. I'm only responsible for following orders, not for answering your questions."
With the death of the first guardian, no other demon race has ever entered or exited this passage.
Throughout history, all the guardians have respectfully guarded the passage, and not a single one of them has ever left it.
If Su Chen hadn't broken the seal on the outside world, this kind of life would probably have continued for many more years.
"However, now that the humans from the fable have appeared, the seal on the demon realm will likely be broken. Whether it will be for good or bad, no one knows."
The bloodline of the nine-tailed fox has not appeared in the demon realm for many years.
The first generation of guardians did not leave any offspring. Among the various fox demon clans, even after five thousand years, not a single fox demon has been able to successfully revert to its ancestral form and reproduce the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox clan.
The guardians can only ensure that the demon realm continues to operate according to the established rules.
However, they cannot be certain what the entire demon realm will become after the passage is fully opened.
After leaving the demon realm, Su Chen traveled a long way with the little white fox. As for the pelt the guardian had given him, Su Chen studied it for a long time along the way, but couldn't figure out anything about it.
This hide looks like just an ordinary piece of animal skin.
The only difference is that it is a little older.
Su Chen could roughly tell that it looked like something from more than 5,000 years ago.
It's been around for a long time.
Chapter 195 Reincarnation?
The fact that it could be personally controlled by the guardian and even passed down through generations for five thousand years suggests that this thing might have been left behind by Xi Meng back then.
"What could this be? Did it leave me a message?"
Su Chen tried to infuse his own power into it, but there was still no reaction.
"The Guardian wouldn't be that bored, would they? Even Xi Meng in the game has never been known to play pranks. Could it be that I'm using the wrong method?"
Su Chen frowned as he looked at the hide in his hand. He had tried almost every method he could think of, but he still couldn't get anything out of the animal hide.
"Wait a minute, did I start off on the wrong track? The point isn't the skin itself or what's written on it, but the skin itself!"
Su Chen searched through his memories, looking for anything related to animal hides.
However, after searching high and low, what they finally found was not related to Xi Meng, but rather peonies.
"It really was left behind by Shaoyao!"
After dissolving the entire animal hide, a drop of blood filled with a powerful aura appeared in Su Chen's palm.
If he wasn't mistaken, this drop of blood should have come from Xi Meng herself.
The peony used the animal hide to conceal the drop of blood. It also used it as a container, passing it down for over five thousand years.
"Peony is truly a genius; she's considered everything."
If stored in a ritual implement, and not properly preserved, or if there is a problem with the origin of the world, then the ritual implement will become extremely dangerous.
Storing it in animal hides, on the other hand, only requires ensuring the right environment to guarantee that the hide will be passed down through generations.
"The essence blood of the nine-tailed fox... Why keep this?"
After confirming the source of the blood, Su Chen's gaze fell on the little white fox in his arms.
This drop of blood has a high probability of awakening the little white fox's bloodline.
A new nine-tailed fox will be born from this drop of blood.
However, Su Chen did not use it immediately, but instead fell into a brief period of thought.
White foxes have appeared both now and before, even more than a thousand years ago, in Hua Jingyun's era, a similar fox appeared. It's just that the little fox died too quickly back then, so Su Chen didn't pay any attention to it.
If one occurrence is a coincidence, then two or three consecutive occurrences must not be a coincidence.
But it is inevitable.
"Xi Meng, Xi Meng, could this fox be you?"
Successfully reincarnating is an extremely difficult thing, whether for demons or humans.
Strictly speaking, Su Chen can also be considered a reincarnation.
However, his memory is more comprehensive and detailed.
If the fox in his arms is a nine-tailed fox, and has been appearing by his side for over three thousand years, then perhaps it proves something.
Xi Meng is dead.
Or perhaps the loss of the world's origin made it difficult for Xi Meng to continue, forcing her to choose this path.
"Sigh... Whether it is or not, let's give it a try first."
Su Chen controlled the drop of blood, slowly guiding it into the little white fox's body. The original red bead, used to catalyze the beast's growth, detached from Su Chen's body at this moment.
It exploded as the blood disappeared.
A powerful energy surge erupted from within the little white fox's body. Su Chen sensed that the little white fox's bloodline was undergoing a dramatic change.
A powerful aura slowly rose. The little white fox's tail began to split open, creating new tail after new one.
"It really is the Nine-Tailed Fox..."
Su Chen waited patiently for the little white fox's reaction.
However, this little guy did not continue to grow stronger after splitting into nine tails.
The transformation that Su Chen had been hoping for did not occur.
The little fox looked to be nothing more than a slightly stronger wild animal than an ordinary fox.
"Sigh, it really is her scent."
Su Chen examined it carefully and found that the aura emanating from the little fox was almost identical to that of Xi Meng in his memory.
Su Chen was confident that the aura was coming from that drop of blood.
Because this aura is stable, yet weak.
"Now that's great, we have everything."
Su Chen never expected that Xi Meng would appear in front of him again in this way.
Although it is only a little fox now, as the little fox's demonic power continues to grow stronger, it will naturally come to the day when it transforms into human form.
As for whether Xi Meng's memories will awaken, and to what extent they will awaken, Su Chen has no way of judging at the moment.
If Xi Meng is unable to awaken her memories, it means that her plans before her reincarnation will fail.
"I hope it's not too late, and I hope your memories will come flooding back."
Su Chen shook his head and quickly returned to the capital with the little fox.
When it left, it was just an ordinary little white fox, but when it returned, it had eight tails. Both Jiang Li and Hua Jingyun were very curious.
Even He Xingyao, who had been in seclusion, couldn't help but take a second look.
This little fox looks remarkably similar to the one we kept at the mountain gate back then.
It does evoke a sense of nostalgia.
"You must have gained quite a bit from this trip, right?"
Jiang Li stood beside Su Chen, looking at him curiously. The little fox had indeed undergone such a big change, which was quite unexpected for them.
"Fortunately, I successfully entered the demon realm and obtained what I wanted. As for this little guy, its transformation was just a side effect."
Su Chen didn't explain much about the little white fox's changes. He just mentioned it briefly.
"This is what you asked me to do before you left, and I've finished organizing everything."
Hua Jingyun walked over carrying a thick stack of papers. They were densely covered with a large amount of information.
"This is full of information about the cultivators who practiced your techniques, and their current situation. Last time when we pushed back the world's upper limit, many people overexerted themselves, but they are fine now."
