第四卷 七星岛 第七百七十一章 林轩结婴(中)

Outside the ancient lair of the Qilin, Moonlight's mind was elsewhere. Her delicate face was filled with worry. Although she always had faith in her young master, cultivating to form a core was incredibly difficult—could something go wrong?

A thunderous sound echoed through the air as an inexplicable pressure descended from the heavens. Snowflakes froze mid-air, and the aura of essence energy surged towards this area.

Moonlight's expression changed from shock to surprise. The unusual celestial phenomena indicated that her young master had entered a critical phase in his cultivation.

The little fox seemed to sense something too, its large eyes showing signs of fear as it crouched on the ground with its paws covering its head. Moonlight found this amusing.

"Xiang'er, don't be afraid. Your young master is forming his core," she said softly.

Before her words were fully out, the sky transformed dramatically. Silver snakes danced around, creating a hurricane that swept away the snow. The essence energy coalesced into colorful light points, mesmerizing to behold.

The little fox lowered its front paws and looked up curiously, suddenly emitting a soft cry. Its body also glowed with white light, and the light points seemed to be drawn towards her, rushing into the young master's form...

"What is this?"

Moonlight was speechless, unsure if it was good or bad for the little snow fox. She hesitated but decided to observe.

The celestial phenomena continued to expand further away.

Over a thousand miles distant,

"Hey?" Two streaks of light slowed and stopped abruptly—Blue Serpent and the gray-robed old monster.

Two transformed creatures, both showing signs of surprise and uncertainty as they released their spirit insects. Although they couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the snow fox princess, they had narrowed down the search area significantly. The celestial phenomena in the sky surprised them so much that they turned their heads, looking around in confusion.

"Brother Cai, did I see wrong? This seems to be a sign of core formation," said the gray-robed old monster.

Indeed, the old monsters were skeptical. This was north of Ice Spirit Peak, where no human cultivators could bring forth an artifact from the Five Elements. Core formation here had never happened in a million years.

Could they have made a mistake? Or perhaps some extraordinary treasure had appeared?

"Should we go?"

"We might as well. According to the spirit insect's report, the snow fox princess might be in that area."

The two old monsters exchanged glances and used their powers to race towards the distant sky, leaving streaks of light behind.

Amidst the void,

It seemed like the beginning of creation, with a grayish sky and earth. Above, lightning crackled through the air, resembling fierce ancient serpents.

"What is this?"

With his superior awareness and the protection of his demonic embryo, Lin Xuan remained clear-headed despite the mental trials.

However, he realized that his hallucinations were like stepping into an ancient era. Back then, heaven and earth had just separated, and everything was in chaos.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan saw humans at the dawn of civilization, fighting for survival in the vast wilderness, battling nature and ferocious beasts with their meager strength.

Despite their weakness, they persisted, never giving up hope as long as they were strong enough.

Lin Xuan's brows furrowed. Something stirred deep within him—wasn't he also like this?

The scenes of his journey to immortality played out before his eyes: the ridicule from fellow students, his relentless efforts despite no visible results...

How similar these humans were to his own struggle. Heaven rewards diligence; one must be unwavering if they wish to succeed.

Years passed as Lin Xuan lost track of time. The wise ancient cultivators gradually discovered how to harness essence energy, marking the beginning of cultivation.

Lin Xuan was so engrossed that he didn't notice a sudden blurring in his vision. When it cleared again, countless ugly creatures appeared before him.

Some had three heads and six arms; others were red-haired and barefoot, their faces fierce...

Could these be ancient demons?

Moonlight's face showed shock as well. More terrifying was the fact that she wasn't just an observer—these demons' eyes glinted with ferocity as they lunged at her.

With his demonic embryo guarding his mind, Lin Xuan knew these were illusions but if his heart was consumed by them, he might not survive and his core would never form.

Determined to act, Lin Xuan rapidly changed hand seals. Multicolored light enveloped him as he confronted the demons.

In the ancient lair, the phenomena grew more astonishing.

The snow had stopped, but the hurricanes intensified. Thunderous sounds echoed, the ground cracked, and massive lightning bolts struck, causing his heart to race.

Moonlight's face was filled with anxiety as she paced back and forth, wringing her hands like an ant in a pot of hot oil.

Splat...

The ground suddenly sank, Moonlight and the little snow fox took off. More essence energy light points appeared in the sky, and a refreshing aroma spread from underground.

"What is this?"

Moonlight recalled ancient texts with a smile on her face. Could it be that her young master had successfully formed his core?

Before she could finish her thought, the essence energy light points converged into a five-colored lotus that slowly rotated. A faint, ancient sound echoed in her ears.

Moonlight was entranced as she watched. The little fox blinked and opened its mouth, emitting a white mist that wrapped around the lotus.

Even more bizarrely, the mist-lotus shrank to half an infant's fist size before being swallowed by the little fox.

In just a blink of an eye, Moonlight was stunned. It was too late to stop it; her young master might be in danger!
