Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.

I thought that since the Gu family had lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would immediately attack my sect to regain their honor.

Unexpectedly, the Gu family remained completely silent for several months.

Not long after, news came from Yazhou.

It turns out that in the mountains of Yazhou, where the Gu family lived, a spirit fox with ancient true spirit bloodline appeared.

Most importantly, this winged fox is pregnant and about to give birth.

Adult spirit beasts are difficult to tame, but cubs are easy to raise into family spirit beasts.

The Flipped Fox is born with the ability to control lightning. Its growth period is very short, only a hundred years, and it can reach the fifth rank, which is equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage.

Most importantly, spirit foxes are known for their longevity.

A fifth-tier flying fox spirit has a lifespan of at least a thousand years.

If one can obtain its cubs, it's equivalent to having a Golden Core warrior to guard the family.

For various cultivation families, these are guardian spirit beasts that can ensure the family's peace and stability for thousands of years.

Moreover, the Flipped Fox possesses wind and thunder attributes. Once it reaches adulthood, it is not only extremely powerful in combat but also incredibly fast. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators are simply no match for it.

For over a thousand years, no trace of the Flipped Feather Spirit Fox has been found in the entire Southern Chu cultivation world.

Therefore, the three Golden Core elders of the Gu family set out together to capture the Flipped Feather Spirit Fox.

As for the Shen family, they naturally couldn't care less.

This news brought a sigh of relief to the family head, Shen Shichu.

The Shen family needs time to develop, and unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't really want to be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Golden Core families.

In the short term, the Flipped Fox Spirit still has a chance to win, but it's likely that every cultivation family in the entire Southern Chu with some strength will mobilize.

Even direct disciples of the four great immortal sects and Golden Core cultivators might go.

A spirit beast at the Golden Core stage is not too rare for the four major immortal sects.

But which disciple in the sect wouldn't want to have a Golden Core stage spirit pet?

No matter how good the sect's spirit beasts are, they belong to the sect, not to you.

It's not hard to imagine that this battle of spirit beasts will be incredibly fierce.

Shen Shichu had no particular interest in this spirit fox.

With their ancestors in charge, the Shen family doesn't need a guardian spirit beast that poses a huge risk in the competition.

Moreover, Shen Jiuyang, this ancestor, has reached the most critical moment in his breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, and he does not want to cause any unforeseen complications or bring disaster upon the family.

But Shen Muge suddenly came at this moment and told him that he was going down the mountain to gain experience.

Upon raising her eyes, she saw the flickering, eerie light in Shen Muge's eyes.

Oh no, this living ancestor wouldn't want to steal that spirit fox cub, would he?

But Shen Muge is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and she is only nineteen years old.

Although he is the head of the family, he may not necessarily be able to make decisions for this person.

After much deliberation, Shen Shichu finally spoke.

"Mu Ge, you are not allowed to participate in this battle of the spirit foxes."

The Cangwu Ancient Family, the Lanling Xiao Family, the Pingtai Yun Family, the Langya Mu Family, and other Golden Core families will all go to compete for it.

With your current cultivation level, you might be able to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but against a Golden Core cultivator, you'd probably lose your life.

Shen Muge smiled, then said meaningfully, "Who said I was going to fight for the fox cubs? I'm just going to watch the fun."

"And incidentally, cause some trouble for the Gu family and the disciples of Seven Star Mountain."

Hearing him say that, Shen Shichu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Knowing that Shen Muge is now wild and unruly, he, as the head of the family, is completely unable to persuade her.

He then said with concern, "Be careful in everything you do; preserving your own life is the most important thing."

You have been blessed by your ancestors and have received extraordinary good fortune.

The path to the Golden Elixir is promising; do not let small gains lead to greater losses and cause you to perish halfway through!

Shen Muge smiled, though it was unclear whether she had taken it all in.

In short, he quietly left Beipanshan on a dark and windy night.

Behind Shenjia Mountain, in Chuyun Valley.

Shen Xiao swallowed a Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit from the Floating Firefly Secret Realm and immediately began his attempt to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

His current physical body is not only a top-grade spiritual root with complete Yin and Yang and Five Elements, but also possesses a top-level spiritual body such as the Tongxuan Dharma Body.

With such extraordinary talent for cultivation, even without the aid of spiritual herbs, forming the Core Formation is only a matter of time.

However, he didn't want to wait too long!

In this world of cultivation, without the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage, many techniques are useless.

Ultimately, it was still too weak and could not fully utilize the system's capabilities.

Therefore, he directly consumed a Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit.

This elixir also has the effect of assisting in the formation of the elixir core.

Perhaps it was because Shen Xiao's soul and body were reshaped with the help of the system that they possessed some indescribable mysteries and wonders.

Therefore, when Shen Xiao formed his core, it was not as time-consuming and laborious as when Shen Jiuyang broke through to the Golden Core stage.

In just three months, a nascent core radiating nine-colored spiritual light condensed within Shen Xiao's body.

The elixir was enormous, about the size of two longan eyes, and it flowed with extremely pure and profound true essence and spiritual power.

This is a top-grade Golden Core, representing a cultivator's extremely profound foundation and spiritual foundation.

Once one has passed the Golden Core Tribulation and refined the Golden Core, soul, and body, one can truly enter the Golden Core stage.

Shen Xiao's Golden Core Tribulation also came very quickly.

Just as Shen Xiao sensed the impending tribulation of lightning and dark clouds were gathering in the sky.

Deep within the Motianling Mountains of Yazhou, the golden sword light unleashed by Gu Zhenting, the mid-stage Golden Core ancestor of the Gu family, tore through the sky, locking onto Shen Muge's aura and relentlessly pursuing her!

Shen Muge felt a chill run down her spine. Although the sword light was unintentionally dispersed by a Golden Core cultivator who had a past grudge against the Gu family and was currently fighting, its power was directly weakened by eighty or ninety percent.

However, even if a Golden Core cultivator's attack only retains one or two tenths of its power, it is by no means something a Foundation Establishment cultivator can withstand.

Shen Muge's red robes fluttered, a hint of bright mockery in his eyes, and he activated a "Shadow Escape Talisman" in his hand.

His figure flashed repeatedly through the dense forests and treacherous ravines, leaving a series of afterimages, and he was even faster than an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Shen Muge attempted to break free of the lock by utilizing the complex terrain and the power of the "Shadow Escape Talisman".

However, the remaining wisp of sword light seemed to possess a spirit, clinging to him like a maggot, relentlessly pursuing him, and the distance between them continued to close.

The sharp sword intent pierced his soul.

"Damn it!" Shen Muge caught sight of a bottomless, icy pool ahead, filled with mist and a sinister aura.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he leaped into the pool! The icy water instantly engulfed his entire body, and he used his water escape technique to the fullest extent, diving towards the darkest part of the pool.

The golden sword light followed closely, crashing into the icy pool!

"Boom!"

A water column dozens of feet high erupted from the surface of the pool, countless ice shards shot out, and the eerie beasts dwelling in the pool let out mournful screams.

The sword light weakened further after entering the water, but the spreading sharp golden light still stirred up the pool, and streaks of golden sword energy shuttled and chased through the water.

Shen Muge let out a muffled groan as a stray wisp of sword light grazed his left shoulder, instantly tearing his skin and flesh.

Blood stained the surrounding pool, and a sharp metallic energy invaded the meridians, bringing excruciating, tearing pain.
