Chapter 920: Meeting the Violet Gold Immortal Progenies on the Immortal Ascension Path, I’m Only Having It as a Pet for Fun
Lil Fox came from an advanced cultivation civilization in the Jade Emperor Galaxy. It was a civilization ruled by the yokai tribe.
She was a Maiden Sage of the yokai fox tribe there. However, she was not born from that civilization as she came from somewhere else.
“When I was very young, I followed my dad to visit my Third Mother and others. However, my old man ended up leaving me there for hundreds of years at that. This time, I’ve set out to find that irresponsible dad of mine. I heard he went to some sort of Immortal World…”
Lil Fox continued telling her story on the warship.
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren revealed a pondering look on his face. “How are you sure that the Immortal World your dad has gone to is this particular one?”
There was no longer a complete Immortal World in the universe. All that was left were its shattered pieces, which were the Fragmented Immortal Worlds.
Perhaps Lil Fox’s father went to another Fragmented Immortal World instead.
“I’m not too sure either. However, I figured that since they are all Immortal Worlds in one way or another, I might find some clues there. That’s why I came.”
“That’s it?”
“Yeah…”
Chu Kuangren looked at Lil Fox. ‘Minor Daoist Celestial, huh? Her cultivation level is not bad. No wonder she dares to venture out here in space.’
‘But because of her bad luck, she encountered the cultivators from the Beasthunter Planet who almost captured and enslaved her.’
“Check it out, Boss. We’re almost there at the Immortal Ascension Path.”
Lil Fox suddenly stood up and exclaimed. She was pointing at somewhere nearby that was shrouded in Immortal Sparks. It was the location of the Immortal Ascension Path.
Countless cultivators were already there.
Many of the cultivators stopped in front of those white stone pillars, looking at the patterns and engravings on them as if trying to study something.
Lil Fox had a weird feeling about it when she saw it.
“Hey, Boss. What do you think they’re looking at?”
“They must be trying to gain insights into those stone pillars.”
Lil Fox could not help but ponder. “I once heard Third Mother and others talking about this. Apparently, whenever a powerful Immortal passes by, a conjuration will appear on the Immortal Ascension Path in respect and welcome them. I wonder if that’s true.”
“It’s always hard to tell whether ancient rumors are true or false,” Chu Kuangren said.
There were many rumors about the Immortal World spreading across the universe.
However, no one knew how accurate those rumors were, especially for young cultivators like Chu Kuangren. The shattering of the Immortal World happened too long ago, and god knew how many eras it had been since then.
It could even be traced back to the previous epoch.
An era was one hundred, ninety-nine thousand and six hundred years. As for a universal epoch, it was one hundred twenty-nine thousand and six hundred eras[1].
A universal epoch was an extremely long time, even for Immortals. After all, only a handful ever lived past one.
Chu Kuangren maneuvered the warship towards the Immortal Ascension Path.
Meanwhile, a young man slowly walked onto the Immortal Ascension Path. His gait was firm as an air of arrogance emanated from him.
The moment he stepped onto the Immortal Ascension Path, the two white stone pillars on the side suddenly rumbled. A dragon and a phoenix apparition appeared and hovered above him, filling the surrounding with an air of prosperity. Many were stunned by this.
“This guy must be a top-tier Immortal Progeny.”
“That’s right. The Immortal Ascension Path will only react when welcoming Immortals. However, if it senses someone with the potential to become an Immortal, basically Immortal Progenies, it will react too. This young man is no simple fellow, it seems.”
“I heard not long ago that an Immortal Progeny from the Jade Emperor Galaxy walked through the Immortal Ascension Path with ten dragons and ten phoenixes hovering above him. It was truly a magnificent sight to behold. That person must surely be a Supreme Immortal Progeny!”
“As long as nothing goes wrong, Immortal Progenies at that level have a twenty percent chance of becoming an Immortal. They’re way stronger than people like us.”
“That’s right. We’re no match to them at all…”
Countless people were discussing it as they looked admiringly at the young man with a dragon and phoenix hovering above him.
That young man reached the end of the Immortal Ascension Path under everyone’s admiring and envious gazes before entering the great gates that lead to the Fragmented Immortal World.
“In a way, the Immortal Ascension Path can be regarded as a tool to measure the capabilities of an Immortal Progeny,” Chu Kuangen muttered.
Next to him, Lil Fox nodded. “Ha! He only got one dragon and one phoenix. If you’re the one walking up there, boss, I bet at least ten dragons and ten phoenixes will appear.”
“I’ll take your word for it.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
At that moment, a few warships approached from a distance, and one of them was getting closer to Chu Kuangren.
“Brother Chu!”
A surprised and happy voice came from that warship.
Chu Kuangren looked towards it and saw Jian Sanjue, Duan Muhonh, Shui Qianhua, Planet Jin’s First Seat, and a few other sky-prides from the Violet Gold Galaxy.
It was clear that they were here to venture into the Fragmented Immortal World.
The one who called Chu Kuangren was Jian Sanjue.
He looked at Chu Kuangren and said, “I see you’ve come here too, Brother Chu.”
“Greetings, everyone.”
Chu Kuangren nodded gently. He noticed that besides the Immortal Progenies from the Violet Gold Galaxy, there were Immortal Progenies from other galaxies as well.
“Let me introduce you, Brother Chu. These Immortal Progenies are from Tempest Galaxy. This is Hong Xue, and that guy over there is Yun Qianliu…”
Jian Sanjue introduced them to Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren nodded to them in response.
The Immortal Progenies from the Tempest Galaxy were secretly checking Chu Kuangren out. Having heard many stories about Chu Kuangren from Jian Sanjue on the way, they were very curious to find out what kind of person he was.
“Besides his good looks, I don’t think there’s anything special about him.”
The young Immortal Progeny, Yun Qianlie, secretly twitched his mouth.
Now that Chu Kuangren was a Heavenly Daoist Celestial, his aura restraint had gotten much better. Hence, it would be hard for ordinary cultivators to see through him.
However, some of the wiser cultivators could notice that his strength was a mystery, like still waters that ran deep.
Although Yun Qianliu was an Immortal Progeny, he was no way stronger than Jian Sanjue and the others. Hence, he could not sense Chu Kuangren’s strength.
Only an Immortal Progeny called Hong Xue was looking at Chu Kuangren with a look of caution. It was as if he had encountered a powerful enemy.
“His aura… is so deep and unfathomable. What kind of cultivation level is he at?” Hong Xue secretly wondered in shock.
“Hey… Brother Hong, look.”
Suddenly, Yun Qianliu noticed something and looked at Lil Fox behind Chu Kuangren. Looking at the crescent mark on her head, he asked, “Could she be the rumored Moonlight Fox?”
The Moonlight Fox was a yokai beast that could rival even the divine beasts.
However, its divine ability was even more sought-after.
“I suppose it really is.”
“Yokai qi, fox ears, crescent mark… Tsk tsk, these match the traits of a Moonlight Fox, alright. She’s most likely a Moonlight Fox.”
“What a great Opportunity of Fortune!”
The Emperor Thoughts of Hong Xue, Yun Qianliu, and a few other Immortal Progenies discussed it while looking at Lil Fox. Their gazes soon turned more and more coveting. They were so close to reaching out and snatching her.
“Brother Chu, is this the yokai beast you’re raising?”
Yun Qianliu pretended to ask Chu Kuangren calmly.
Chu Kuangren nodded upon hearing that. “Yup.”
“This little fox is quite well-behaved, from what I can tell. Seeing that the road to Immortality is a long one, having a pet can be nice as well. But I wonder, Brother Chu, are you willing to part with it?”
Yun Quanliu said.
“Forgive me. I’m only having this little fox as a pet for fun and have no intentions to sell it,” said Chu Kuangren as he petted Lil Fox. ‘Now that I think about it, her fur does feel good to the touch.’
Lil Fox’s pink ears soon turned pinker and pinker while her face blushed. However, she did not hate it and obediently stood still while being petted.
