Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

"What I'm asking is something more practical, short-term, and immediate."

To reclaim the Heavenly Demon Capital?

We should wait until we have the strength to confront the current Demon Emperor before discussing such matters.

The Old Man of the Underworld remained silent.

Short-term goals…

He really couldn't say it for a moment.

After escaping from the Heavenly Demon Capital, Elder Ming gathered the surviving members of the Heavenly Fox Clan and then searched for the young master who had been sent away by the late emperor.

Now, they have only managed to find the young master.

What to do next...?

I was completely in the dark.

Judging from Elder Ming's reaction, Ji Nanbei knew that the other party had no plan at all.

Without waiting any longer, Ji Nanbei spoke:

"Since Elder Ming has no idea yet, why don't you hear what I have to say?"

The Old Man of the Underworld nodded immediately.

"I will follow your word, young master."

Ji Nanbei did have some ideas.

Ji Nanbei is quite proficient in this kind of farming simulation management.

The Celestial Fox Clan nowadays avoids making hatred their primary goal.

Then one can only sink to the bottom of the sea with lofty ideals.

We need to find a way to develop.

"Now that we are temporarily residing in a human city, and most of our clans have mastered the ability to transform into human form, we will first develop in this human city, sell some of our clan's treasures, and start raising funds."

Upon hearing this, Elder Ming hesitated, but ultimately nodded.

"Young Master is right. Now is not the time to be concerned about my Heavenly Fox treasure. We must survive first."

As for how to revitalize funds...

Ji Nanbei didn't consider it.

Although he is a time traveler, his modern thinking may not necessarily be able to crush this cultivation world.

At least some of the technology would be useless if it were brought out.

The cultivation world is not without technology.

The technology in the cultivation world is all built upon spirit stones and spiritual energy; it's a separate technology tree altogether.

Formations are similar to technology.

If we discover a solid energy block that is all-natural, pollution-free, has near-100% energy efficiency, and is easy to store, would we still need to research oil or steam?

That's the logic.

But Ji Nanbei didn't know how to revitalize it.

However, some people within the Celestial Fox clan knew about it.

Coincidentally, those who survived in the Heavenly Fox Clan today all possess some kind of talent.

Otherwise, these people wouldn't have gone out and left Tianyao Capital.

Among them were people who went out to do business, disguised themselves as humans to trade with humans, and raised funds for the Celestial Fox Clan.

Ji Nanbei just needs to delegate authority to these people.

"But... young master, spirit stones aren't of much use to our Heavenly Fox clan these days."

The old man was somewhat saddened.

The Celestial Fox Clan is now too small. Even with ample supplies of spirit stones and successful cultivation, they will find it difficult to resist the rebels of the Celestial Demon Capital.

Ji Nanbei shook his head.

"Spirit stones must be useful. The economy determines the superstructure; without the economy, everything is just empty talk. Spirit stones can be used to recruit soldiers and horses, and to persuade certain forces to see the benefits and form an alliance with my Heavenly Demon Clan."

The Old Man of the Underworld stared wide-eyed.

He didn't understand anything about economics or architecture.

but…

Is Young Master preparing to connect with humans?

"Young master, those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts!"

Ji Nanbei nodded.

"Yes, those who are not of our kind will surely have different intentions. But my Celestial Fox Clan is merely using these people for monetary transactions, and there is no need to trust them."

The old man seemed about to speak but then stopped.

Our young master... his behavior is no longer just careless.

This is incredibly audacious!

The demon race has never cooperated with the human race.

Those humans are too cunning and not trustworthy at all.

(The real reason is that the demon race isn't very cunning... they haven't experienced the scheming and intrigue of the human race. They're too easily betrayed.)

Ji Nanbei also noticed Elder Ming's worries.

"Old Master Ming".

Ji Nanbei called out in a deep voice.

Elder Ming immediately came to his senses and hurriedly replied:

"Young Master, please speak."

Ji Nanbei let out a deep sigh.

"Now, my Celestial Fox clan has no choice but to take risky measures. Destruction and reconstruction require radical methods; sticking to old ways will only lead to failure."

After saying that, Ji Nanbei lowered his head, looking like he had something difficult to say.

When the Old Man of the Underworld saw Ji Nanbei in this state, his heart was filled with turmoil!

Young Master is right. Nowadays, the Heavenly Fox Clan can no longer stick to the old ways, nor does it have the strength to follow the usual path.

What am I hesitating about?

The young master has considered things so clearly. Even if he is radical, it is all for the sake of saving the Heavenly Fox Clan!

Among the Heavenly Fox Clan, isn't the young master the one who worries most about the clan's situation?

What am I even doing?!

At times like these, young master, what is needed is not questioning, but obedience!

"Yes, young master! This old servant understands. As long as you give the order, young master, this old servant will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After entrusting everything to Elder Ming, Ji Nanbei then thought of the little fox's cultivation problem.

The Old Man of the Underworld was already preparing to go down and give instructions.

Ji Nanbei then spoke up:

"Elder Ming, there is one more thing."

Old Man Ming quickly turned around.

"Young Master, is there anything else you require?"

"It's not an order, just a small matter. Does the Heavenly Fox Clan have any Golden Core stage demon beast cores?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Ming nodded.

"There are still some demon cores at the Golden Core stage..."

Just as they were getting to this point, Elder Ming wanted to ask his young master what use the demon core was.

Suddenly, the Old Man of the Underworld remembered something.

A secret about the Celestial Fox Clan.

That is, the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body!

There was one thing Ji Nanbei didn't know.

This Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Technique is the most secret of all secrets of the Heavenly Fox Clan.

It was the foundation upon which the White Emperor, the former king of the Heavenly Fox Clan, was able to stand at the pinnacle of the entire demon race.

That's right, the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Technique is a secret manual of the direct lineage of the Heavenly Fox Clan, which can only be passed down from generation to generation through innate spirits.

Some of the direct descendants of the fox cubs, without awakening their innate spirit.

Or perhaps there is no information about the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Technique within the innate spirit.

Then one cannot cultivate this secret manual.

In fact, there is only one person who has truly cultivated the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Technique to its peak.

That is Baidi.

Why is it said that the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body is the foundation upon which the White Emperor stands above all demons?

This can be understood simply by looking at the effects of the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body.

The demon race has always feared heavenly lightning tribulations.

The power of tribulation lightning to suppress demonic energy goes without saying.

Just look at Ji Nanbei's battle against Xiao Jingxi back then, and you can see a glimpse of it.

It can be said that the tribulation lightning is the nemesis of this demon race.

The Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body is precisely the one that controls the power of tribulation lightning and incorporates it into the body.

When one cultivates to the highest level, one can summon countless lightning tribulations with a mere flick of the wrist.

The moment he moved, thunder roared.

Such a secret manual, if mastered, which demon race could possibly contend with it?

But the problem lies with the demon race.

The Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Technique—how perilous is it for the demon race to cultivate it?

For demons, being struck by tribulation lightning means certain death and the annihilation of their spiritual essence.

Only the elders of the Celestial Fox lineage know some of the secrets.
