CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 248: EVOLUTION COMPLETE, SEVEN-TAILED HOLY FOX

"Immortal Beast Relics?" Lin Chen was initially stunned, then his eyes immediately lit up; this was a good thing.

One must know that the depth of an existence that can reach the Immortal Beast Level is beyond imagination.

Ordinary gold and silver jewels are mere insignificant trinkets within Immortal Beast Relics; the truly good things are those rare medicinal materials. To maintain their powerful beast power and long lifespan, Immortal Beasts dine daily on highly aged rare medicinal materials, which are priceless treasures to Spirit Beasts.

Soon, Lin Chen helplessly shook his head, sighing, "Once this kind of Immortal Beast Relic appears, it’s always swiftly sealed off by major forces, and ordinary people have no chance of entering."

"Not this time." Wu Chen’s lips curled into a smile, his eyes full of excitement as he hurriedly explained to Lin Chen, "Due to the extremely unstable emotions of the Cangling Ancient Country’s populace this year, with anti-war voices echoing and many radicals causing trouble."

"To appease the people’s hearts, Dubhe Pavilion has issued a clear regulation that major forces are not allowed to block entry to the Immortal Beast Relics under any pretext, giving everyone a chance to explore and find opportunities."

"There’s another problem..." Lin Chen said, "With just the two of us going, even if we find something good, we probably can’t keep it."

Lin Chen understood that in such a place, the law of the jungle prevails.

Although you’re allowed to enter, good things still won’t come your way.

"That’s why we need to bring along the Great Elder," Wu Chen said.

Lin Chen was taken aback.

Seems to make sense.

If the Great Elder goes, they would also count as having the backing of a force. By then, if they acquire good things, those who want to snatch them would have to think twice.

"Then I’ll ask the Great Elder when I have the chance," Lin Chen said.

"Alright, there’s no rush right now; Dubhe Pavilion seems intent on providing benefits, so they’ve announced a delay of two months before opening. If we’re going to Celestial Realm Mountain, it’s just along the way," Wu Chen said.

Lin Chen nodded.

...

After another two days, the little fox still showed no signs of cocooning. However, the Great Elder visited midway, and after Lin Chen relayed Wu Chen’s proposal, the Great Elder did not object, stating, "I’ve also heard about the relics. It’s along the way; if you want to go, it’s no harm to take a look."

"What kind of Immortal Beast is it?" Lin Chen asked.

"Currently unclear, but it’s not some war zone, so it should be left from an ordinary Immortal Beast post-immortalization," the Great Elder said. "Currently, it seems likely to be the transformed Beast Taming Space of a Beastmaster at the level of the Beastmaster King."

"Beastmaster King?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but gulp, his eyes gleaming.

The wealth of a Beastmaster at this level is drool-worthy just thinking about it.

However, the top priority now is still the little fox’s evolution.

In the long wait, another 10 days passed, and the little fox was going to cocoon.

On the first day, there was only a small range of cocoon shell shedding, and by the fourth day, large-scale cocoon shell shedding appeared.

By the fifth day, when a thick cocoon shell fell off, revealing a gap, from outside you could see the red skin inside, and Lin Chen’s heart was in his throat, hearing his heartbeat thumping...

Unlike Xiaobai’s previous evolutions, this time, the little fox’s evolution had a target.

And that was the Phoenix Karmic Fire.

This process lasted 12 hours, and that night, the ice-crystal-like red cocoon layer suddenly shattered into countless stars, a Divine Fox’s beast cry sounded, and the room’s temperature rapidly rose.

After waiting another three hours, the room’s temperature soared, and both Liu Gu and Lin Chen knew the little fox was about to break out.

Everyone on the scene, including Spirit Beasts, looked over simultaneously. The little blue fish was even about to rush forward when Xiaobai yanked it back with a hoof.

At this moment, the little fox’s head emerged, with a black-gold mark on its forehead, which, upon closer inspection, resembled a Phoenix.

Unfortunately, this mark flashed and then disappeared.

Now, the little fox had revealed more than half of its body, which was redder than when it went inside, covered in flames, looking just like a deity of fire.

It closed its eyes, seeming to adapt to this new body and power.

Only upon hearing Lin Chen’s shout did its eyes suddenly open wide.

"Goo!!"

It shouted, and the crimson flames on its body suddenly magnified, a loud boom echoed as the entire red cocoon exploded, dissolving into nothing under the burning flames.

Lin Chen and Liu Gu immediately looked at the little fox’s tails...

At this moment, all of its tails could finally be revealed.

One

Two

...

Six

Seven

"Seven!"

Both Liu Gu and Lin Chen were overjoyed.

Seven is something only attainable at the Divine Beast Level.

It seems that the little fox’s talent remains terrifying.

However, the seventh tail was still in a semi-illusory state.

The little fox stood on the ground, its flames suddenly turning white, looking extremely intimidating.

Lin Chen knew it was entering the True Flame Mode.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liu Gu said, "Oh no."

"What’s wrong?" Lin Chen queried, puzzled.

Liu Gu’s face was grave as he said, "Look at its flame; it seems to have no red left."

Lin Chen looked over and indeed found it so.

Previously, the little fox’s flames contained a shade of deep red with a divine charm—an echo of the Phoenix Karmic Fire.

But now, this flame had completely vanished.

"It seems that a Phoenix is a Phoenix, and a Fox is a Fox; I was overthinking it," Liu Gu sighed, feeling he’d been wishfully imagining things.
