Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 500 - 357: The Fox in the Dream, a Natural Born Bad Seed?
Chapter 500 -357: The Fox in the Dream, a Natural Born Bad Seed?
This marvel of the world had shocked everyone from the Yang Family.
The wailing of myriad beasts was still tolerable; similar scenes had occurred when Yang Fuqing was born, which were actually due to her ability to spiritually communicate with demon beasts—a fact known to all in the Yang Family.
“However… why does it feel like the demon beasts are all very scared?”
Yang Fuqing’s husband, Chu Yinghui, paced outside the door, sensing the restlessness of the demon beasts and feeling that something was not quite right…
A baby frightening demon beasts at the Foundation Establishment Stage?
The next moment, the four Golden Core demon kings also flew over, each with a solemn expression.
“How is little Fuqing doing?”
Elder Bear furrowed his eyebrows tightly as he looked at the closed door inside.
“She should be… alright, I guess.”
Chu Yinghui was not entirely sure either; normally, childbirth would not be excessively burdensome for a woman cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, only requiring some elixirs afterwards to replenish blood qi.
But today, the commotion was a bit excessive.
The arrival of the four Golden Core demon kings… none of them seemed particularly happy, causing Chu Yinghui to feel a bit uneasy too.
“Elder Bear, have you… sensed something?”
The four Golden Core demon kings looked at one another and all shook their heads.
“Let’s talk after seeing the child.”
In contrast to the reactions from the beasts’ side, the reaction from the Xuan Stone Sect was huge!
All disciples gathered at the sect’s training grounds, looking at the suddenly trembling thunderclouds above Thunder Peak, as if facing a formidable enemy!
All disciples knew that Thunder Peak had stopped taking in disciples…
Now, it was the prison set up by the Xuan Stone Sect, where only those who committed heinous crimes would be locked up below, to suffer the agony of Thunder Prison as well as various strange tortures, more painful than death.
It was said that many demon cultivators, extremely terrifying, were imprisoned there.
This place was a forbidden land of the Xuan Stone Sect, with no one daring to approach, lest they be tainted with misfortune…
And the thunderclouds that shrouded the place had always been consistent, never dispersing.

The name of a man, the shadow of a peak.
Today’s anomaly directly frightened all the disciples of the Xuan Stone Sect.
Ding Zhen was the first to come out of seclusion, arriving above the sect.
Elders Huang and Chu also followed in rapid succession.
Ding Zhen’s eyes narrowed slightly, with the mana of a Golden Core forming in his eyes, piercing through the thunderclouds covering the mountain peak as though shooting out thousands of swords, trying to see through the situation inside.
“Sect Leader? How is it?”
Chu Qiao was somewhat anxious; she clearly knew who exactly was inside.
“An anomaly at Thunder Peak is no trivial matter… Inside there is…”
Elder Huang, being an elder, knew most of the secrets of the sect. Thunder Peak had only ever produced monsters, with each generation being the same.
“I can’t see through…”
A unique restriction blocked Ding Zhen’s inspection, so that even with his second layer Golden Core cultivation, he could not probe through it.
This meant… that the cultivator inside was at least as strong as him.
The next moment, an ancient voice came from within Thunder Peak.
“In a past dream, I found a wounded fox, whom I healed and nurtured, allowing it to grow, teaching it the ways of human kindness. Yet, inevitably, there came a day when I forgot to feed it, and its nature drastically changed, turning to devour my family… Waking from the dream today, if I could return to that day, should I save the fox? Or kill it?”
Ding Zhen thought for a moment.
“Since it has proven that ethical teachings fail to tame the fox, what use is there to keep it alive? Kill it.”
“Yes… I think so too. Last time, my senior brother’s soft heart left us with a calamity, causing a century of turmoil with demon cultivators in the dynasty. Today, I will do the right thing.”
From Thunder Peak, a middle-aged male cultivator flew out, with the thunderclouds moving along with him.
The disciples of Xuan Stone Sect instinctively took a step back.
Fearing getting too close to this man.
Enveloped in wisps of blood qi and black mist, this man continuously resisted the heavenly thunder falling from the sky.
In all these years, the new disciples now realized…
The perpetual lightning striking Thunder Peak wasn’t a natural thunder pond, but was striking this middle-aged cultivator.
“Disciple Ding Zhen pays respects to Uncle Master Lei Zhen.”
“Disciple Huang Ye/Chu Qiao pays respects to Uncle Master Lei Zhen.”
Ding Zhen and the others paid their respects from a distance, not daring to approach.
“Uncle Master has come out of the mountain for a reason. Is it related to the fox in your dream?”
“Yes, a demon fox has descended from the heavens, and I must… descend the mountain to eliminate the demon.”
With a slight gesture, a golden chain flew out from Thunder Peak and landed in his hands.
“It is the [Xuanjin Chain], the sect’s treasure that can bind a Golden Core cultivator… but wasn’t this chain locking up the former demon Mog Zhu…”
Ding Zhen had participated in the past battle between the righteous and demon cultivators, where the Daoist Ding Zhen had used his last bit of strength to bind the demon Mog Zhu with the Xuanjin Chain, handing her over to Uncle Master Lei Zhen for eternal suppression under Thunder Peak.
At that time, the Danai Dynasty had all Golden Core cultivators killed, and no one could slay that demon, leaving only suppression as an option.
Years had passed, and Ding Zhen, seeing that Thunder Peak was undisturbed, did not probe further. After all, compared to directly killing the demon, letting her continuously atone for her sins amidst heavenly tribulations was the punishment she deserved.
Death… would have been too merciful for her.
And now, Uncle Master Lei Zhen had actually retrieved the [Xuanjin Chain].
Could it mean…
Ding Zhen suddenly looked towards Lei Zhen, as if facing a great enemy!
One of Lei Zhen’s eyes was filled with blood qi, while the other remained clear.
His aura was as inscrutable as the deep ocean, completely beyond Ding Zhen’s grasp.
“Uncle Master Lei Zhen, what happened to Mog Zhu?”
“Mog Zhu is no longer at the Golden Core stage, and poses no threat.”
With a casual wave of his hand, a vast blood-red net sprayed out, sealing all the heavenly tribulations in the sky. It seemed as if he had cast off the shackles of many years, stretching himself freely.
“Little Ding, I don’t have much time and must go quickly and return quickly.”
Lei Zhen stepped onto a cloud of blood mist and flew out from the sect’s gate.
Ding Zhen glanced at the prison under Thunder Peak, where the formerly Golden Core demon Mog Zhu was now a mortal, her Golden Core cultivation vanished without a trace…
