Zhang Chen understood in his heart that there must be someone among the Human Race who has entered this Great Path; it’s just not publicly announced.
After all, people fear fame like pigs fear being fat; nobody wants to be targeted, so they all hide under pseudonyms, quietly researching. Even if they achieve something, they definitely won’t go around shouting about it.
While listening to the Fox Spirit talk about cultivation, Zhang Chen’s eyes flickered with a trace of Golden Light. He observed the stone platform before him and then gazed at the cliff behind the stone platform. In a crevice on the cliff, he saw a mysterious orange light.
"Gained something!" After seeing that light, Zhang Chen couldn’t help but brighten his eyes; this place indeed has Mysterious Power.
"By the way, how did you find this ancient tomb?" As Zhang Chen examined the stone platform, he casually asked a question that seemed offhand but actually pointed straight to the root.
"The Northern Land is the territory of our Fox Race. This place is called the Qingqiu Ancient Land, the origin of our Fox Race. Later, when your Human Race raised armies to sweep the world, we, the Fox Race, had to flee to the cold and barren land in panic, thus abandoning this ancestral land." The Fox Spirit’s voice was full of resentment:
"It’s all because of you Humans, taking my homeland, robbing my inheritance, causing hundreds of our old and young Fox Race to be displaced."
"Isn’t that right, this tomb is so hidden, raising a hundred or so Fox Spirits wouldn’t be difficult?" Zhang Chen looked at Fox Fairy Nannan, his eyes filled with doubt.
The Fox Spirit paused at his words, then said with a despondent expression: "You are correct! Later, a change occurred in the Qingqiu Ancient Land. When my ancestors stole True Dragon Flesh, somehow the Dragon Blood spilled, alarming a monster in the tomb, a monster that appears and disappears without warning, specially sucking the blood of our Fox Race. Even our Fox Race ancestors were helpless against the monster and had to abandon the ancestral land."
Looking at the Fox Spirit, Zhang Chen felt quite speechless. The Fox Spirit couldn’t lie to him, but could hide half the truth, which was truly dangerous.
As for the bloodsucking monster the Fox Spirit mentioned, Zhang Chen knew what it referred to; it must be that stone tablet. However, he didn’t think the anomalies within the stone tablet were strong, not even matching the level of Fox Fairy Nannan. Why couldn’t the Qingqiu Race suppress the monster?
Seemingly noticing Zhang Chen’s doubts, Fox Fairy Nannan spoke calmly: "The creation of all things in Heaven and Earth has its own wonders. Despite my Fox Race ancestors being powerful, when meeting their nemesis, they could only stare helplessly. For example, if you mastered the Twelfth Tier Water Control Technique, but later face someone with just a First Tier Steel Body, you would also be helpless against them. Sometimes it’s not the case that higher tiers are always stronger; otherwise, when dueling, we would just compare tier levels and not bother fighting."
"Just like your Light of the True God, which is merely at Tier two or three, yet my superpower is powerless against you, unless I use a stone to smash you from afar." Fox Fairy Nannan explained.
Zhang Chen understood upon hearing this but didn’t pursue further. Instead, he slowly approached the stone wall emitting the orange light and his eyes fixed on the crevice.
"You can actually discover this place?" The Fox Spirit was surprised by Zhang Chen’s actions, looking at him with astonishment.
Zhang Chen turned to the Fox Spirit, and she understood his meaning, explaining: "Behind this stone wall is a stone chamber, where two carvings from the Ancient Mysterious Era are present. The cultivation method of my Fox Race comes from one of those carvings. As for the other carving, according to my Fox Race ancestors’ deductions, it should be a Secret Technique suitable for your Human Race’s exploration of the Spiritual Domain."
"I see." Zhang Chen touched the stone wall and looked at the crevice, which was only finger-width apart. This stone wall must be three meters thick; how could he get inside the stone chamber?
Without a clue, Zhang Chen turned to the Fox Spirit, hoping she might have a solution.
"Don’t look at me. I also relied on Soul Emergence to enter." Fox Fairy Nannan hurriedly waved her hand: "Right now, I can’t bring you in."
"Then how did your Fox Race’s first generation discoverer of this hidden land get in?" Zhang Chen asked.
"The Transformation of Illusion and Reality is a power from the bloodline of my Qingqiu lineage." The Fox Spirit said proudly.
"Truly an enviable race." Hearing this, Zhang Chen could only dryly compliment.
Fox Fairy Nannan, hearing this, showed a hint of pride: "It’s alright! There are many creatures in this world that accidentally acquire many peculiar things, thereby possessing Bloodline Power. I heard that my Fox Race ancestor once accidentally unearthed a light orb, and while breathing, inadvertently inhaled it into his body, thus endowing the bloodline with a wonderful power."
As she spoke, Fox Fairy Nannan looked at Zhang Chen with her eyes: "You are now a god with abilities, and the bloodline you generate in the future has a great possibility of inheriting your abilities."
Ignoring the Fox Spirit, Zhang Chen stared at the crevice of the stone wall, pondering how to break through the wall and rush inside.
"If I use explosives, I wonder if I can impact the crevice in front of me and blast the stone apart." Zhang Chen touched the explosives hanging at his waist. Although the crevice is small, he might use the Fox Spirit to send in the explosives and try setting them off.
It seems there’s no other way.
