Chapter 430: A Million Years Ago (2)
Li Qingshan brought the little fox to Lady Hu, instructing her to be obedient and learn the method of shape-shifting diligently.
The little fox nodded obediently. After the romantic night, she was satisfied, as it was the first time Li Qingshan had done something romantic with her, making her more willing to listen and be well-behaved.
“Immortal Emperor Li, rest assured, I’ll take good care of the little girl,” Lady Hu promised.
“Okay, I’ll stay here for a few days to look at your Fox Race’s treasures. By the way, do you know about a Nine-Tailed Fox from your race who comprehended the Great Path of Fate?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
In the little fox’s inherited memories, there was a big tree with many fruits, each containing the inherited memories of a Nine-Tailed Fox. Li Qingshan saw one of them, which had comprehended the Great Path of Fate and the Gate of Fate.
Therefore, he wanted to ask, who was this Nine-tailed Fox who had comprehended the Great Dao of Fate and controlled the Gate of Fate?
Lady Hu thought carefully, then shook her head and said, “In my memory, there’s no such record. The Fox Race’s oldest records date back a million years. Anything beyond that is incomplete.”
“Isn’t it said that the Fox Race’s inheritance has never been broken?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
Lady Hu smiled wryly and said, “Will any major forces ever say their inheritance had been broken when promoting themselves?”
“Our Fox Race can be traced back a million years, which is already impressive. A million years ago, a great turmoil caused us to lose many inheritances, burning many records. Only some remnants are left, stored in our secret technique space. Immortal Emperor Li, if you’re interested, you can take a look, but the remnants are so fragmented that it’s hard to decipher anything useful,” said Lady Hu.
“Alright, I’ll take a look,” Li Qingshan nodded, bid farewell to the little fox, and with a step, the space collapsed, opening a passage to another world that he stepped into directly.
After Li Qingshan entered, the space immediately repaired itself as if nothing had happened.
When Lady Hu saw this scene, she sighed, “This is an emperor. We are heavily guarded. The secret space sealed by layers of arrays is completely defenseless in front of him. He can enter whenever he wants. Immortal Emperor Li is just being polite. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even know if he entered.”
“Emperors are indeed powerful,” the Fox Lady sighed.
The secret technique space was the core of the Fox Race.
After their inheritance was jeopardized a million years ago, they specially created this world to store their secret techniques and inheritances to ensure their clan’s longevity.
This space was deeply hidden, surrounded by formations, making it hard to discover.
Li Qingshan, as an Emperor, had ignored these things and descended here effortlessly.
The secret technique space was empty, with no one around. Li Qingshan walked alone, seeing countless secret techniques placed everywhere, clearly categorized by different clans, monsters, and ancestors.
Li Qingshan wasn’t interested in other clans; he wanted to find the Nine-Tailed Fox who comprehended the Great Path of Fate.
“To comprehend the Great Path of Fate and evolve the Gate of Fate, her power must be extraordinary. She must have left behind some remarkable stories. If her story is still here, it would help me understand the Fate Rule,” Li Qingshan thought to himself.
He arrived at the section for the Fox Race’s secret techniques.
The Fox Race’s secret techniques were stored in a grand mountain, with numerous palaces, corridors, pavilions, and painted beams, all built along the mountain, creating a beautiful oriental architecture.
In these buildings, Li Qingshan discovered a group of adorable creatures.
A group of elves.
These elves were tiny, just the size of Li Qingshan’s palm, with transparent bodies. Some had wings, while others were little plants with legs, running around cutely.
These elves were responsible for cleaning the area. They were part of the Monster Realm but had low intelligence, comparable to three or four-year-old children. They loved peace and disliked cultivation, living happily and peacefully every day.
After the secret technique space was established, the elves were moved here, living carefree lives, with their only task being to keep the secret techniques clean.
Seeing Li Qingshan, the elves weren’t afraid. They circled him curiously, like innocent children, not understanding why he was here.
Li Qingshan didn’t harm them. Instead, he squatted down and asked gently, “Do you know where the books recording the Nine-Tailed Fox from a million years ago are?”
One of the winged elves thought for a moment then beckoned Li Qingshan and led the way.
Li Qingshan smiled and followed the elf to a side hall. The elf pointed at it, waved, and left with a smile.
Li Qingshan watched it leave, then opened the door to find a large collection of fragmented books.
Some books were torn with only a few pages left, some were burned almost entirely, and some were pieced together but missing many words, making them hard to read coherently.
These were the records of the Nine-Tailed Fox from a million years ago, placed in a side hall, forgotten by time.
Li Qingshan walked through the hall, finding many books, but each was incomplete, leaving little to be deciphered, which was why they were abandoned here.
