Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

Why did the fox demon sneak into the Yuhua Gate?

Lìn Jiǔfèng sat alone in the tea room, his soul hovering high in the sky, overlooking the Yuhua Gate. He saw the snow-white fox demon cautiously searching for something. After a while, it confirmed the direction of the Scripture Repository and quietly entered.

Lìn Jiǔfèng frowned. "Are you here for the Yuhua Ascension Sutra as well?"

The fox demon was unaware of Lìn Jiǔfèng's observation but continued to move cautiously. Its cultivation level was impressive, at the Fifth Forbidden Stage, allowing it to sneak past the three little ones in the Scripture Repository without being detected.

Only Lìn Jiǔfèng was watching.

The white fox entered the Scripture Repository without disturbing anyone, carefully searching, one bookshelf after another.

"Is it looking for the Yuhua Ascension Sutra?" Lìn Jiǔfèng raised an eyebrow. The Yuhua Ascension Sutra wasn't written as a book or placed in the repository.

However, after watching for a while, Lìn Jiǔfèng noticed that the fox's target wasn't cultivation methods but the biographies of the elders of Yuhua Gate.

This left Lìn Jiǔfèng perplexed.

A demon sneaking into Yuhua Gate's Scripture Repository, not to steal cultivation methods, but to search for the biographies of the elders? It was strange.

Lìn Jiǔfèng did not interrupt the fox, letting it search quietly.

The fox searched meticulously, picking up books, and when it found the wrong one, it immediately put it back, making it nearly impossible to tell any book had been touched.

Lìn Jiǔfèng still didn't understand what the fox was searching for.

Then, the fox came across a book with the title "Zhou Sheng's Biography." The fox's expression suddenly became sorrowful. It carefully placed the book in the moonlight streaming through the window and began reading it.

In the moonlight, the fox quietly and sadly read.

This scene moved Lìn Jiǔfèng, and he left the tea room, heading to a corner of the Scripture Repository.

"What is your connection to Zhou Sheng?" Lìn Jiǔfèng asked gently.

Whoosh!

The fox was startled by Lìn Jiǔfèng, its fur bristling, spine tense, eyes wide with panic. With a low growl, it grabbed Zhou Sheng's biography with its claws, transformed into a white streak, and fled.

Lìn Jiǔfèng shook his head. Could it escape from him?

With a swift motion, Lìn Jiǔfèng used his energy to pull the fox back, his palm grasping it expertly by the neck. The fox struggled violently, trying to scratch him, but Lìn Jiǔfèng had controlled the distance perfectly, keeping it just out of reach.

"Stop struggling. Tell me why you came to the Scripture Repository to find Zhou Sheng's biography?" Lìn Jiǔfèng asked again.

But the fox ignored him. Realizing it couldn't scratch Lìn Jiǔfèng, its eyes turned red, and suddenly a burst of white immortal light exploded from its body. It was dazzling, and with a loud bang, the fox broke free from Lìn Jiǔfèng's grip and fell to the ground before leaping away.

Lìn Jiǔfèng was astonished. "The Yuhua Ascension Sutra!"

He recognized that white immortal light; it was the same energy from the Yuhua Ascension Sutra that he had comprehended.

How could a mysterious fox demon possess the Yuhua Ascension Sutra?

Ever since the Yuhua Gate lost the Yuhua Ascension Sutra, only Zhou Sheng, Lìn Jiǔfèng, Bai Yunfei, and three little ones had learned it.

How could an unknown white fox know the Yuhua Ascension Sutra?

Lìn Jiǔfèng watched the fox running swiftly through the mountain forest. "It seems you have a deep connection with Yuhua Gate."

The next moment, Lìn Jiǔfèng's figure turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared quietly from the Scripture Repository.

At Yuhua Mountain Gate, the white fox raced forward as if it were a streak of white smoke, dashing through the forest.

It was scared of Lìn Jiǔfèng and didn't want to stop.

But despite this, it still held onto Zhou Sheng's biography, unwilling to let it go.

After running for a while, the fox felt it had gotten far from the Scripture Repository and slowed down, dropping the biography and panting heavily.

"What is your relationship with Zhou Sheng?" Lìn Jiǔfèng's gentle voice sounded behind the fox, startling it. The fox quickly grabbed the biography again and fled.

Lìn Jiǔfèng maintained the same speed as the fox, asking, "You can't escape. I mean you no harm. Why not stop and explain things to me?"

The fox glanced back and saw Lìn Jiǔfèng, walking calmly with a smile on his face. Frightened, the fox used all its strength to speed up.

But no matter how fast it ran, Lìn Jiǔfèng stayed right behind it.

After a while, the fox was drenched in sweat, its fur wet, and still couldn't shake off Lìn Jiǔfèng. It finally stopped, turned to face him, glaring fiercely, baring its teeth, and exuding demonic energy.

Lìn Jiǔfèng wasn't intimidated. He pointed to Zhou Sheng's biography and said, "This person is my senior brother, a once outstanding genius of Yuhua Gate. You didn't sneak into the Scripture Repository to steal cultivation methods, but specifically sought his biography. What is your relationship with Zhou Sheng?"

Upon hearing this, the fox relaxed its angry expression. Its bright eyes fixed on Lìn Jiǔfèng, as if evaluating something.

Lìn Jiǔfèng, with a gentle attitude, crouched down and smiled. "There isn't much recorded about Zhou Sheng's life in this book. If you want to know more, I can tell you, but first, you need to tell me your connection with him."

The fox hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm his daughter."

Her voice was soft and enchanting, like a gentle breeze in early spring, making Lìn Jiǔfèng feel as if bathed in the warmth of spring.

What surprised Lìn Jiǔfèng even more was her words.

Zhou Sheng's daughter?

Lìn Jiǔfèng stared at the fox, suddenly recalling that Zhou Sheng had once married a demoness, an act that angered the Supreme Dao, who prided itself on being the leader of the righteous path. The Supreme Dao wanted to maintain justice in the cultivation world and could not tolerate the union of humans and demons, forcing Yuhua Gate to hand over Zhou Sheng, which eventually led to a series of events.

But that was over a hundred years ago, and at the time, Lìn Jiǔfèng hadn't yet joined Yuhua Gate.

Zhou Sheng, who had married a demoness, had been forced to death not long after. Could his daughter be so young?

Lìn Jiǔfèng looked at the white fox and thought of the Yuhua Ascension Sutra energy that had exploded from it earlier, and he was now half-convinced.

"Zhou Sheng had a daughter still alive, but why has no one ever mentioned her?" Lìn Jiǔfèng asked.

The fox's emotions settled a little. It paced back and forth before softly saying, "After my father passed away, my mother discovered she was pregnant with me. So, no one knew about my existence. To escape the Supreme Dao's pursuit, my mother didn't reveal my existence. She carried me for ten years before giving birth to me."

Lìn Jiǔfèng was shocked. Ten years of pregnancy?

That was far more impressive than Nezha!

Perhaps because of Lìn Jiǔfèng's gentle attitude, the fox continued, "When my mother was pregnant with me, she was injured by people from the Supreme Dao, which led to my congenital deficiencies. My father sacrificed himself to lure the Supreme Dao experts away while my mother found a place to recover. Then she realized she was pregnant with me."

"Her injury could have been healed, but to protect me and preserve my father's bloodline, she sacrificed her vitality to nurture me. For ten years, she gave all her energy to me. After I was born, she only stayed with me for a few months, then with her last breath, sealed me away, using the spiritual veins of heaven and earth to repair my deficiencies."

"This repair lasted for over a hundred years."

"Recently, I was freed and entered the cultivation world. I met many people who saw my fine fur and wanted to skin me. I barely survived a few times, planning to return to the Million Great Mountains. But I accidentally heard of Yuhua Gate. I remember my mother saying that was my father's sect, so I came here."

"I entered the Scripture Repository because I wanted to find my father's biography to learn more about his life. I didn't have any ill intentions."

The fox gazed at Lìn Jiǔfèng and softly spoke.
