Chapter 959: Chapter 949: The Dragon Race May Still Survive
"No need to thank me, Ice Phoenix."
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox suppressed its grief, smiled gently, and said, "You are the savior of my clan, our best friend. This is what I should do."
The Ice Phoenix chuckled lightly, "I never thought I could see my mother again; I should be happy."
"You’re right about that." The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox nodded and then asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
The Ice Phoenix took a deep breath, suppressing the sorrow in her heart, and said firmly, "I must work hard in cultivation, enhance my strength, and never let down my mother’s expectations."
"It’s a pity the Dragon Race is already destroyed, otherwise, I would surely annihilate them completely!"
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox laughed joyously, "Knowing you think this way puts me at ease. The Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lake is most suitable for your cultivation. Perhaps only you can access the deepest Ice Power."
At this moment.
The Elder smiled faintly and said, "I haven’t seen the master this happy in hundreds of thousands of years. Because of your presence, the master feels joy and no regrets."
"Young Master, thank you very much. Sending you all out means my task is complete."
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Elder, do you know of any race in the Demon Realm that still possesses the Divine Beast Bloodline?"
The Elder smiled faintly and said, "They are not a Divine Beast Race. After the great war back then, the five Divine Beast Races suffered heavy casualties, and the strong almost fell, but some weaker clansmen survived."
"Among these weaker clansmen, surely some have awakened the Divine Beast Bloodline, making them the target of the Demon Beast Race."
"The extinction of the five Divine Beast Races was also due to the plunder by the Demon Beast Race. Their bloodlines had just awakened, insufficient to suppress the powerful Demon Race experts."
"The man you encountered is from the Ancient Taotie Race. The Divine Beast Bloodlines of the five Divine Beast Races were almost all taken by them, never allowing some clansmen to possess the Divine Beast Bloodline."
"However, after hundreds of thousands of years, the Divine Beast Bloodline is nearing exhaustion, but alas, there are no longer any Divine Beasts emerging in the Demon Realm, unable to continue the bloodline."
"Until the appearance of the Young Master, they saw hope."
Upon hearing this.
The Ice Phoenix frowned in confusion, "With its strength, it should have had the chance to devour my Divine Beast Bloodline, yet it chose to be suppressed and gravely wounded by my bloodline and didn’t make a move, eventually leaving. I can’t figure out why."
"That’s simple." The Elder smiled faintly and said, "Because it knows your Divine Beast Bloodline hasn’t fully awakened; even continuing its bloodline won’t last long."
"It also realizes your Divine Beast Bloodline is very strong, so it waits for you to fully awaken before taking action."
"I see." The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox frowned, "I never imagined such a terrifying Ancient Race still existed in the Demon Realm; if not for your words, I wouldn’t have known of the Ancient Taotie Race."
The Elder smiled faintly, "The strength of the Ancient Taotie Race is immense, already not inferior to the Dragon Race of old. Be more cautious when you return."
The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox asked again, "Elder, with the Ice Phoenix’s current Divine Beast Bloodline, can they not suppress their bloodline?"
"That’s hard to say." The Elder shook his head, "But they do not yet know that the Young Master has fully awakened her Divine Beast Bloodline. The Young Master must quickly enhance her cultivation."
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder." The Ice Phoenix gratefully replied, "I will strengthen my cultivation swiftly."
"By the way," the Elder reminded again, "Young Master, years ago, the master sensed the bloodline aura of the Dragon Race; the Ancient Dragon Race may still be alive, but the master is not certain."
"What?! The Ancient Dragon Race still survives?" The complexion of the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox changed dramatically.
"Ancient Dragon Race! I will never spare them! I will kill them all!" The Ice Phoenix gritted her teeth, a terrifying killing intent emanating from her entire being.
The Elder continued, "If the Ancient Dragon Race still survives and senses the Young Master’s Divine Beast Bloodline, they might seek you out. Be extremely careful, Young Master."
With these words.
The Elder waved his hand, and a black vortex appeared in the void.
The Elder smiled faintly and said, "Young Master, this is all I can do for you. My Primordial Spirit is about to be exhausted. After sending you away, I will go to find the master."
"Thank you, Elder!" The Ice Phoenix and Nine-tailed Spirit Fox hurriedly expressed their gratitude, then swiftly stepped into the vortex.
Watching the disappearing figure of the Ice Phoenix, the Elder smiled slightly, "Master, the Young Master has not despaired; her gaze is more determined. Master can rest assured."
The Ice Phoenix and Nine-tailed Spirit Fox left the tomb of the Clan Leader of the Ancient Phoenix Race and returned to the Demon Realm.
Along the way, the Ice Phoenix felt extremely heavy-hearted.
The Ice Phoenix kept recalling her mother’s words, her heart filled with hatred toward the Ancient Dragon Race.
Seeing the Ice Phoenix’s sorrowful appearance, the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox comforted, "Ice Phoenix, don’t overthink it. Listen to the Phoenix Clan Leader’s words and live happily."
The Ice Phoenix clenched her fists tightly, angered, "I will certainly work hard in cultivation, improve my strength quickly, and if the Ancient Dragon Race still exists, I must be prepared."
"I must avenge my mother and all the deceased members of the Phoenix Race; I cannot die before I wipe out the Dragon Race!"
Upon returning to the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race, the Ice Phoenix recounted her experiences to the Eight Great Elders and the tribespeople.
Everyone felt happy for the Ice Phoenix, yet mourned the sacrifice of the Phoenix Clan Leader.
"Clan Leader of the Nine-Tails, Elders, I will now enter the Profound Ice Lake for cultivation." The Ice Phoenix said a single sentence and then leaped into the lake without hesitation.
"Ah." The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox sighed lightly, helplessly, "I hope the Ice Phoenix can come out of her grief soon; otherwise, it will greatly affect her cultivation."
The Great Elder sighed helplessly, "Having suddenly experienced leaving a loved one, along with harboring deep hatred, it will be tough to break free from sadness."
The Second Elder quickly spoke, "Clan Leader, perhaps send someone again to the Immortal Realm’s Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion; maybe Mr. Gu can help the Ice Phoenix."
Upon hearing this.
At that instant, the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox’s eyes lit up, and she smiled happily, "The Second Elder is right; Mr. Gu is the Ice Phoenix’s master, he surely has a way."
"And Mr. Gu is immensely capable; with his help, even if the Ancient Dragon Race survives, we are unafraid."
"Great Elder, immediately send a Celestial Fox to the Immortal Realm’s Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion to inform Mr. Gu about the Ice Phoenix’s experiences."
"Understood!" The Great Elder replied respectfully, immediately passing on the command for a Celestial Fox to swiftly head to the Immortal Realm.
Looking at the Profound Ice Lake below, the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox spoke softly, "Ice Phoenix, you must persevere; don’t let the Phoenix Clan Leader down."
