It turns out, they were the main characters.

"I do not know."

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox admired the boy's appearance and said, "My fragmented spiritual consciousness is ultimately missing memories. However, before I passed away, I made arrangements in the Eastern Continent. I suppose my spiritual consciousness should be preserved in some family in the Eastern Continent now."

"Are there any other clues?" Mu Zhian asked.

“In the past, I left behind many rare and precious materials for that family. If nothing unexpected happens, they should now be an ancient family with influence in the Eastern Continent. You can go to the Fox Clan in the Demon Realm. There you will find the Soul-Locking Bell that I left behind. It will help you find the place where my spiritual consciousness is preserved.”

The land of the fox clan, that was one of Ruoxi's 'hometowns', now it should be abandoned... Mu Zhian looked at the alluring woman in the long dress, nodded slightly and said, "This junior will find the Soul-Locking Bell as soon as possible and help senior be reborn."

The nine-tailed celestial fox hummed in agreement. Her figure was dissipating, and at the same time, the tails on her back were gradually decreasing, and the light in her beautiful eyes was also gradually fading.

And the wisps of pink light on her body quietly entered Mu Zhian's body.

boom!

Almost at the same time, deep within the Dao Chu Palace in Yuzhou, a pink demonic aura soared into the sky!

Above the palace, nine phantom fox tails appeared, swaying slowly.

Yao Meng narrowed her beautiful eyes, staring intently in that direction, and whispered, "It really succeeded...?"

The pink demonic aura shot into the sky like a pillar of light, and within that pillar, the phantom of nine fox tails seemed to blot out the sun, almost covering most of the sky.

Luo Tan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she murmured to herself, "The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox... did he really absorb the Tai Xu Pill completely?"

At that moment, in addition to feeling gratified, she quickly felt a surge of anticipation.

A natural furnace for cultivation combined with an innate alluring body... what will become of him?

Furthermore, after this, Mu Zhian will be able to switch forms at any time!

Wei Mengrou's beautiful eyes also sparkled; she was already eager to go in and see her young master, but in the end, she held back.

Yes, that's right... we should be more reserved.

Meanwhile, in the dimly lit room where Mu Zhian was in seclusion, the candlelight flickered.

In the flickering candlelight, the faint outlines of nine fox tails silently unfolded like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, swaying gently.

Then, in the next moment, Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes.

A strange pink light shone in those deep eyes.

……

An immense surge of demonic energy rose into the sky, so powerful that it could be felt even in the distant demon realm.

At this moment, deep within the Demon Realm Palace, a woman dressed in a vibrant purple dress, exuding elegance and nobility, suddenly opened her alluring eyes and stared intently in a distant direction.

After a long silence, a hint of amusement flickered in her scarlet eyes, and she murmured to herself, "A nine-tailed celestial fox, huh..."

Unexpectedly, during his seclusion, a second demon cultivator with the same bloodline as himself was born.

Moreover, its birthplace was actually in Yuzhou?

What exactly happened during his seclusion?

The Demon Queen whispered, "Miao Yan."

Almost at the same time, the First Seat, far away in the Demon Palace, reacted and immediately got up and rushed over.

After about a quarter of an hour, the first seat was taken to this quiet grotto.

"Your Majesty, why did you leave the pass ahead of schedule...?"

The first seat hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked.

Logically, His Majesty should still be in seclusion trying to break through to the Ascension Realm, so why did he emerge from seclusion early...?

"I have already refined most of the essence of the first Demon Emperor. After that, I can try to ascend to immortality and break free from the shackles of heaven and earth."

The Demon Queen paused for a moment, then continued, "More importantly, I have a question for you. When you were in seclusion earlier, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's demonic aura soared to the heavens. What was the reason for that?"

"If I remember correctly, the fox clan should not have a second nine-tailed celestial fox."

There is only one Dao Integration Realm cultivator in a demon race. This secret is known only to a few Dao Integration Realm cultivators, including the Demon Queen. Others are unaware of this secret.

"Also, who refined the Tai Xu Pill?"

The first seat immediately reacted and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, some time ago, the Medicine King of Yuzhou personally refined a Taixu Pill."

The Demon Queen narrowed her scarlet eyes and sneered, "I once sought out the Medicine Queen to refine a Tai Xu Pill, but she made all sorts of excuses, claiming that she was not strong enough to refine it. Now you can refine it?"

"Which demon cultivator took the Tai Xu Pill, which was enough to get the Medicine Emperor to refine it?" the Demon Queen continued to ask.

The first seat hesitated for a moment, glanced at the alluring demon queen, and said hesitantly, "It's...it's Mu Zhi'an."

"?"

The sounds inside the hall paused for a moment. The Demon Queen's narrow, beautiful eyes widened slightly, and the image of a respectful maid was reflected in her scarlet eyes.

"Mu Zhian...?"

……

Chapter 411 Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Mu Zhi'an! 5K

That night, pink demonic energy almost covered most of the night sky over Dao Chu Palace. Even in some holy lands under this dynasty, the pink mist emitting a mesmerizing halo could be seen.

The pink mist was filled with an alluring aura, and it was mixed with the special spiritual energy from the innate furnace that was enough to attract countless female cultivators.

The demonic aura alone possesses such alluring charm that it's hard to imagine what terrifying allure the owner of this pink demonic aura might possess at this moment...

At this very moment, in a tightly closed little room, the maid Gan Sui was standing in the confinement room, staring intently at the night sky in the distance, subconsciously clenching her skirt.

“Nine-tailed Celestial Fox… He actually evolved into a nine-tailed celestial fox…” she said, her voice filled with disbelief, resentment, and jealousy.

"That's why I warned you before that Mu Zhi'an is no kind of person. Since His Majesty has feelings for him, no matter how others try to persuade him, it's useless. You've served His Majesty for several years, how come you can't even understand something like this?"

Outside the confinement room, a maid named Jingxi, dressed in a dress, spoke softly.

She was the first maid to serve Luo Tan, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she managed all the servants in this Immortal Dynasty.

Previously, she had accompanied His Majesty Luo Tan to the Liangyi Sect and had met Mu Zhi'an several months ago.

Jingxi believed she had a good eye for people. Although Mu Zhian, that little cultivator, hadn't been cultivating for long, his methods were quite remarkable.

Xiao Hua died because he exposed his identity, but His Majesty values ​​relationships. If he had spent more time with His Majesty, His Majesty might not have killed him even if his identity were exposed in the future.

However, he was led step by step by Mu Zhian until he finally died in the Liangyi Sect.

She had noticed a few days ago that Gan Sui disliked Mu Zhi'an and had warned her in advance, but she still did it...

It's such a pity that the forces behind Amane have painstakingly cultivated their influence for so many years...

The maids who can serve the Medicine Emperor must all be the pride of heaven from the major holy lands of Yuzhou, with extraordinary talents.

But exceptional talent doesn't necessarily equate to high intelligence...

Mu Zhi'an is now a favorite of His Majesty. If you, a mere maid, secretly make things difficult for him, it's no wonder he'll retaliate.

"I didn't say anything wrong. The nine-tailed celestial fox bewitches all living beings. In the past, His Majesty has never been interested in any man, but he took a fancy to him. Isn't it because of his three-tailed fox body?"

Gan Sui snorted and said, "He was able to bewitch His Majesty when he was still a three-tailed fox. Now that he has advanced to a nine-tailed celestial fox, who knows how much he will bewitch His Majesty."

Jingxi's expression changed slightly, and she transmitted her voice, "You can't say things like that. If His Majesty hears this, you'll probably face more than just confinement."

There are many benefits to following the Medicine Emperor. In Yuzhou, even being a maidservant to the Medicine Emperor is a position that countless people dream of. After all, following a Heavenly Grade Alchemist will surely lead to great achievements in the future.

The sacred ground behind Gan Sui went to great lengths to secure this spot.

Gan Sui remained silent, but her eyes held a hint of annoyance and resentment.

Even if she was wrong, doesn't Mu Zhian bear at least one percent of the responsibility?

No one knows what Mu Zhian whispered in His Majesty's ear a few days ago, but His Majesty summoned her to the palace two days ago, and the servants beside His Majesty listed a bunch of her crimes. Although they were not serious, Luo Tan removed her from her position and put her in this confinement room to reflect on her mistakes.

A guy who's good for nothing but his looks, yet acts recklessly because of His Majesty's favor—what will happen when His Majesty gets tired of him...?

Oh.

……

"Even though I was mentally prepared, it still feels really amazing to actually become a nine-tailed celestial fox..."

Mu Zhian sat cross-legged on the soft couch, let out a long sigh, looked at his hands which had recovered, and murmured to himself.

The Taixu Pill is a means to connect with the deceased ancestors of the demon race and obtain their 'Demon Throne'. If the demon race has never produced a Dao Integration Grandmaster, then one has the opportunity to sit on that throne and thus evolve one's physique to its ultimate potential.

However, if the demon race once produced a Dao-Merging expert, whether the physique can evolve to its ultimate potential depends on whether the demon race's ancestor has perished.

If he hadn't perished, no other demon cultivator would have had the chance to achieve Dao.

"This is practically forcing demon cultivators to betray their own ancestors..."

After roughly clarifying his thoughts, Mu Zhian couldn't help but mentally complain.

"Nine-tailed Celestial Fox... I wonder where that woman's spirit is. It looks like I'll have to go to the Demon Realm after this."

"However, there are more important things to deal with right now..."

Mu Zhian raised his head and looked outside the secret room.

Even inside the secret chamber, he could faintly hear the slight commotion coming from outside the hall.

With such a commotion, I wonder what's going on outside...

Just as Mu Zhian was about to leave the secret room, he suddenly noticed that nine phantom images of fox tails seemed to appear behind him, swaying slowly in the candlelight.

He released a wisp of his will, and the next moment, the nine fox tails, like shadows, returned to his body as the candlelight flickered.

Stepping out of the secret chamber, outside the palace, a cacophony of sounds rose and fell. Many cultivators inside Dao Chu Palace subconsciously wanted to use their spiritual senses to explore what was inside, but because Luo Tan's servants had recently instructed His Majesty to remain in seclusion and not to be disturbed, everyone refrained from doing so.

Even so, people still care deeply.

After all, the demonic aura had previously covered almost half the night sky, causing many people to be wary, confused, and unable to understand what had happened.

Inside the hall at that moment, Luo Tan, Yao Meng, and Wei Mengrou were all sitting on chairs not far away.

Noticing that the young master had left the secret room, Wei Mengrou was the first to look up and say, "It seems that you have really successfully advanced to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox level."
