Floating Immortal Order

Chapter 283: Three-Tailed Fox Race

Li Xuanji's gaze held a hint of hesitation. "Is this method not too cruel? Though I easily cleared those medium-scale forces with the help of the Cloud Soaring Luan, I did not exterminate them entirely. Once we met the criteria for the force's destruction as determined by the Dawndusk Spiritual Essence, I let the remaining people go," he deliberated.

Feng Wuji sneered inwardly at this, though his face showed no sign of it. With a smile, he said, "The Dawndusk Daoist Ranking is determined by merit, and the difference in rewards between each rank is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth. Senior Martial Brother Xuanji, you must not be too soft-hearted."

"Senior Martial Brother Xuanji has always been this way; we shouldn't force him. Daoist Brother Sword Demon, if you are willing, you can join me after this," Xu Disheng suggested. He had already heard of Feng Wuji, and knew of his reputation as a half-step Primordial Spirit stage genius from the powerful Sword Saint Sect. Similar to those from the Profound Sky Sword Sect, he too was a body refining expert and possessed extraordinary combat strength among his peers.

Feng Wuji's expression shifted subtly as he caught Xu Disheng's implied suggestion. "Supreme Daoist Brother, do you already have a target in mind?"

Nodding slightly, Xu Disheng replied, "26,000 li from here, there's a large-scale force of the three-tailed fox race that has fully pledged allegiance to the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance. It includes two fox race cultivators at the early Primordial Spirit stage. It would be somewhat challenging for me to clear them out alone. As a rare body refining expert, you and I would work well together, Daoist Brother Sword Demon."

Li Xuanji's expression changed. "Junior Martial Brother Xu, do you really intend to clear out those forces that have already pledged allegiance? They were about to hand over all their spiritual resources to the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance and were willing to completely accept the Administration Hall's disbandment and arrangements. Why bother slaughtering them to the very last one?"

Feng Wuji gave Li Xuanji a strange look, then turned to Xu Disheng with a smile. "Supreme Daoist Brother is bold. I've been cultivating the profound laws for hundreds of years and have yet to slay a Primordial Lord. However, I've heard that the three-tailed fox race consists entirely of stunning beauties. Are you truly willing to take action against them?"

The most alarming part was that both Li Xuanji and Feng Wuji seemed to unconsciously overlook the two Primordial Lords of the three-tailed fox race, showing no apprehension whatsoever.

The reason lay in Xu Disheng's display of formidable power in his battle against the Profound Sky Sword Sect, where even the unmatched body refining sword cultivator Qi Taiqing was suppressed by him alone. Given that the three-tailed fox race was not adept at direct combat, Xu Disheng's statement about exterminating the three-tailed fox race was evidently no bluff.

Unknowingly, Xu Disheng had become a figure in the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance on par with Yun Wuya, making the act of a Divine Core stage cultivator slaying a Primordial Spirit stage being seem not too difficult for them.

Of course, this only applied to the relatively weaker early Primordial Spirit stage. Facing a peak Primordial Spirit stage master head-on, even Ethereal Spirit Master Yun Wuya would likely face defeat without much resistance.

Xu Disheng shook his head. "If the three-tailed fox race had handed over all their spiritual items and cultivation resources to the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance, I wouldn't specifically go out of my way to exterminate them. However, there are several types of spiritual materials in their Greatfox Den which are crucial for my cultivation, so I need to obtain them as soon as possible."

Although Li Xuanji had never interacted with the three-tailed fox race of the Profound Yin Territory, he had heard of them. Curiosity piqued, he asked, "What rare treasures or spiritual materials do you need, Junior Martial Brother Xu? I could accompany you and help you obtain them. I've heard every one of those fox race women is breathtakingly beautiful. It seems cruel to slaughter them all. Why not take a few as captives and slowly enjoy them at your leisure?"

"I intend to personally craft a Magic Treasure, which requires me to refine the true spirits and souls of pure-blooded members of the Yao Race as materials for its creation. The ancestral true blood accumulated within the Greatfox Den over the years is particularly useful to me," Xu Disheng explained with a light chuckle. "Senior Martial Brother Xuanji, your idea of capturing them for pleasure has to be postponed, unfortunately."

Li Xuanji momentarily felt bewildered and frowned, "Junior Martial Brother Xu, using true spirits and souls as materials to craft Magic Treasures strips them of even the chance for reincarnation. Isn't that a bit"

Feng Wuji interrupted with a wave of his hand and a smile, "Supreme Daoist Brother, I will accompany you."

Xu Disheng nodded without addressing Li Xuanji's somewhat naive question. "I need many pure-blooded members of the Yao Race for the crafting of this treasure. It would help me out greatly if you would keep an eye out for that in your daily encounters, Daoist Brother Sword Demon."

The Supreme Scripture mentioned a method for crafting a Lifebound Magic Treasure that was uniquely suited for those of the Spirit Race with a Supreme Spiritual Root, possessing extraordinary qualities that made it different from any known Magic Treasure.

This Lifebound Magic Treasure had no fixed form before its creation; its essence and laws were derived from the profound law foundation of the Spirit Race member crafting it. This phenomenon was unheard of in the Human Realm.

The method for refining this Lifebound Magic Treasure had appeared in Xu Dishengs sea of consciousness in four volumes, consisting of the Yao Spirit, Demon Spirit, Ghost Spirit, and Profound Spirit classes of Magic Treasure. Though only one class could be chosen for refining, any resulting Lifebound Magic Treasure would enhance the profound law foundation within the creator's Jianggong meridian to an unimaginable level. Under the laws of the Human Realm, it had the potential to quickly advance to the rank of a Profound Treasure!

The Demon Spirit Lifebound Magic Treasure, as recorded in the Supreme Scripture, could rob the essence of heaven and earth, suppress all heart demons, clarify the mind, and pave a smooth path for profound cultivation, offering significant assistance in overcoming the Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation.

Meanwhile, the Ghost Spirit Lifebound Magic Treasure could endlessly devour souls to strengthen its owner's soul power, command legions of ghosts, and, with its protection, potentially break through the barriers of the Human Realm to enter the Nine Serenities Realm.

The Profound Spirit Lifebound Magic Treasure aligned the most with the Spirit Race's methods of refining Magic Treasures. It was capable of amplifying the power of Spirit Race spells by nearly a hundredfold when used, and temporarily boosting the user's Spiritual Force, making crossing it fighting above ones rank as easy as eating and drinking.

The Yao Spirit Lifebound Magic Treasure, however, required a vast amount of true spirits and souls from pure-blooded members of the Yao Race. It was the most difficult to refine, and it relied on ones profound law foundation to refine its essence and laws. Its true might was the most powerful of the four types of Lifebound Magic Treasures. After the refining was complete, it could condense the power of heaven and earth, and under some mysterious law of nature, draw upon Yao Force from all Yao Race beings to strengthen the wielder. If it grew to its peak, it could become an unparalleled treasure capable of annihilating all Yao Race beings.
