Transforming into a stunningly beautiful fox spirit, leaving a scar on the heart of a prodigy.

The Northern Secret Realm is shrouded in darkness.

Su Chang'an sat cross-legged on the stone bed, toying with a jade slip that shimmered with a bluish light in his hand.

This is the quasi-emperor level secret technique, "The Great Dream of Spring and Autumn," that the system gave me during the last campaign to conquer Guxiang.

She can't get out now.

I'm just idling around anyway.

Su Chang'an probed the jade slip with his divine sense.

A massive flow of information rushed into my mind.

This secret technique does not cultivate spiritual power or the physical body; it focuses solely on cultivating the soul and the dream world.

A dream encompasses three thousand worlds, a single thought can transform into the seasons.

If practiced to the extreme, one can even kill in dreams, attain enlightenment in dreams, and turn illusion into reality.

"That's interesting."

Su Chang'an narrowed his eyes.

Her current spiritual strength is already at the quasi-emperor level, so cultivating this secret technique is like a college student doing elementary school arithmetic problems.

However, this secret technique is obscure and relies heavily on the concept of "fate".

Those who enter a dream cannot be relatives or friends, nor can they enter without cause or effect.

Unless one's cultivation reaches the highest level, it is impossible to forcibly break through another person's sea of ​​consciousness.

Su Chang'an did not want to force a solution.

She just wanted to give it a try.

What if I dream of that rebellious son Chen Xuan?

See if he's crying or being bullied on that wrecked ship.

Su Chang'an closed his eyes.

Hands form a mudra.

Fingertips traced mysterious trajectories in the air.

The surrounding space began to distort.

The nine tails swayed gently, emitting a hazy glow.

"The Great Dream of Spring and Autumn begins."

Su Chang'an gave a low shout.

Her consciousness instantly felt lightheaded.

It was as if it had detached from its body, passed through thick rocks, and broken through a cold seal.

Before me was a hazy, gray fog.

There is no direction, no time.

Su Chang'an drifted in the mist.

She tried to sense Chen Xuan's aura.

That was the child she raised, with her blood flowing through his veins (even though he was fed by her). The causal link between them should be as thick as a steel bar.

But no.

The fog was empty and desolate.

Chen Xuan's aura seemed to be blocked by something, and it could not be sensed at all.

"The rewards from this lousy system are definitely defective."

Su Chang'an pursed his lips.

I was just about to finish my practice and go back to sleep.

Sudden.

An extremely strong attraction came from the left front.

That was a pure demonic aura.

Bearing the imperial authority and the incense offerings of countless people.

This aura is calling to her.

Or rather, they are praying for some kind of protection.

Su Chang'an was stunned for a moment.

When did she ever have any contact with such an important person?

Curiosity killed the cat, and it killed the fox.

Su Chang'an controlled that wisp of divine thought and drifted over following the attraction.

Passing through layers of mist.

The view before me suddenly opened up.

……

South of Zhongzhou, deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Heavenly Demon Dynasty.

This is the sacred land of the demon race, the center of worship for all demons.

Inside the magnificent palace, ambergris burned quietly.

On a huge dragon bed lay a middle-aged man dressed in a bright yellow nightgown.

His brows exuded an imposing aura, and even in his sleep, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

This is the current Holy Ruler of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, the Golden Lion Emperor, Emperor Shitian.

The recent instability on the demon borders, coupled with frequent probing by the major holy lands of the human race, has left him exhausted.

Just then.

Indra's dream has changed.

The once gloomy dream sky suddenly cracked open.

Endless auspicious energy surged from the crack, instantly covering the entire sky.

Golden lotuses burst forth from the ground, and heavenly flowers rained down in disarray.

An overwhelming, ancient, and noble pressure descended upon this world.

Indra awoke from his dream with a start.

He looked up.

From the crack, a huge white fox head slowly emerged.

That fox was too big.

A single head could blot out half the sky.

Those narrow eyes, gleaming with golden light, looked down at him indifferently, as if he were an ant.

Followed by.

Nine enormous tails hung down from the clouds.

Each tail is thousands of feet long, as white as snow, and crystal clear.

They swayed gently, stirring up the wind and clouds, even making the void tremble.

Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!

The legendary supreme ruler of the demon race!

Indra trembled all over.

It was a suppression from the depths of his bloodline that made him unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

He knelt down on the ground with a thud.

His forehead was pressed firmly against the ground.

"Emperor Shitian, a lowly demon from the mortal realm, pays his respects to the venerable immortal!"

His voice trembled, filled with awe.

Su Chang'an looked at the guy kneeling on the ground below, somewhat bewildered.

Who is this?

Dressed so smartly, why do you kneel down to everyone you meet?

She looked down at herself.

Oh.

It turns out that the Dharma form has been revealed.

In the dream, her power was not suppressed by the seal, and this nine-tailed dharma form was indeed a bit frightening.

Su Chang'an cleared his throat.

Since you're called an immortal, you should act like one.

I'll just ask where this is and find out some news about Chen Xuan.

"cough."

Su Chang'an opened his mouth.

The sound was like rolling thunder, echoing between heaven and earth.

"Who are you? Where is this place...?"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Su Chang'an felt a buzzing in his head.

A tremendous pulling force came from behind.

That's the seal on the main body activating.

Time is up.

She's only just begun to understand "The Great Dream of Spring and Autumn," and she won't be able to maintain it for long.

"Holy crap..."

Su Chang'an cursed.

The enormous fox body instantly shattered, turning into countless points of light that vanished.

The dream shattered.

……

"Immortal! Immortal, please wait!"

Indra suddenly sat up from his dragon bed.

He reached out and grasped at the void, but only managed to grab a handful of air.

My pajamas were soaked with cold sweat.

He was panting heavily, his heart pounding.

That scene just now felt so real.

That oppressive aura, that chilling feeling in one's blood, was no ordinary dream.

That was a miracle!

It is a revelation from Heaven to the Heavenly Demon Dynasty!

"Someone come here!"

Indra shouted loudly.

The captain of the guards outside rushed in and knelt down in a panic.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Summon the Imperial Preceptor! Immediately! Right now!"

……

Half an hour later.

Heavenly Demon Palace.

Bright lights.

Indra sat on the dragon throne, his expression excited.

An elderly man dressed in a Bagua Taoist robe stood below the stage, holding a tortoise shell in his hand and shaking it.

Several copper coins fell out of the tortoise shell and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

The old man stared at the few copper coins, his white eyebrows twitching.

Then.

He suddenly knelt down, his voice high-pitched.

"Great fortune! Your Majesty, this is an extremely auspicious omen!"

Indra leaned forward: "Grand Preceptor, please speak quickly!"

The old man pointed at the copper coins on the ground, his hands trembling.

"The appearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox is an auspicious sign from heaven."

"The divination indicates that a person with the bloodline of the ancient nine-tailed celestial fox is about to be born."

"What Your Majesty saw in your dream just now was a projection of the Supreme Being's Dharma image!"

"This is divine protection for our demon race! If we can find this immortal and invite him to oversee our dynasty, what fear is there of the human race's holy land? What worry is there that our great undertaking will not succeed?"

Indra was thrilled by what he heard.

He slammed his hand on the armrest of the dragon throne.

"good!"

"What the Imperial Preceptor said resonates deeply with me."

"Then, in the Imperial Preceptor's opinion, what should be done?"

The old man pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Since the immortal has manifested his form in Your Majesty's dream, it must be because we are destined to meet."

"We should announce this to the world and mobilize the entire nation to search for it."

Be sincere in your attitude and show proper courtesy.

Indra nodded.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the main hall.

That dream was so powerful.

Those golden eyes are still imprinted in his mind.

That haughty, indifferent gaze is the true demeanor of a strong person.

We must find her.

at all costs.

Indra stopped in his tracks, his gaze intense.

"Draft an imperial edict."

The eunuch beside him quickly spread out the imperial edict and picked up his pen.

Indra said in a deep voice:

"I am ordained by Heaven to rule over all demons."

"Tonight I dreamt of the gods, and saw nine tails covering the sky, a sign of good fortune."

"This is a blessing from Heaven for our dynasty, and the whole world should rejoice."

"Issue this order throughout the Nine Provinces: all members of my demon race, whether they are wandering cultivators in the mountains or powerful clans, must be on the lookout for the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox."

"Anyone who reports any leads will be rewarded with a million spirit stones and granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."

"If I could summon your divine presence, I would gladly sit upon the throne and rule the world together!"

The eunuch's hand trembled, and ink almost dripped onto the imperial edict.

Shared governance of the world?

That's practically giving away half the country!

But he dared not say more, and with swift strokes of his pen, he wrote the imperial edict.

Indra took the jade seal and stamped it heavily.

Snapped.

The crisp sound echoed through the empty hall.

"Send it out."

Indra waved his hand.

"Urgent! Send this message to the Northern Regions, Southern Frontier, Eastern Wilderness, and Western Desert."

"I want the whole world to know that I am looking for her."

……

Su Chang'an opened his eyes.

She rubbed her slightly throbbing temples.

"What a piece of junk."

She casually tossed the jade slip aside.

The dream I just had was completely incomplete.

Before I could finish speaking, I was pulled back.

Aside from scaring a middle-aged man in a yellow shirt, they gained nothing.

I didn't see Chen Xuan, Gu Xiang, or even Bai Yin.

Wasting emotions.

"It seems this quasi-emperor's secret technique is nothing special."

Su Chang'an yawned.

She lay back down on the stone bed and pulled a tail over herself.

The cave returned to deathly silence.

The only sound was the dripping of water.

despair.

despair.

Su Chang'an rolled over and found a comfortable position.

She had no idea.

Because of one of her silly attempts.

What kind of tumultuous wave is about to be unleashed upon the entire demon race?

I have no idea.

The "lower-level demon" who was so frightened by her that he knelt down and kowtowed has already offered a bounty in the heavens to find her.

[Chapter Summary: A Dreamlike Journey to the Southern Frontier Startles the Emperor's Throne]

Sitting idly in the northern region, I tested my supernatural powers; with a single thought, my spirit soared into the nine heavens.

The emperor's dream of the golden palace and dragon bed was shattered, while countless fox shadows pressed down on the sky.

The foolish child only thought he was seeking familiarity, while the old emperor mistook it for an auspicious omen.

A bounty has been issued for half the country, but the true culprit remains unaware, trapped in a cage.
