An hour ago.
The moonlight, like water, illuminated the forest path that Murong Feng was walking on, guiding him to an ancient and solemn temple.
The temple exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, with a courtyard paved with blue stones spreading out at your feet. Two majestic stone lions stand on either side of the temple gate, and every detail reflects its weighty history. Ancient trees surround the temple, their branches and leaves hanging low, as if bearing witness to the passage of time. In front of the central hall, a bronze incense burner emits wisps of fragrant smoke, casting a hazy silhouette in the moonlight.
The temple's main gate is slightly ajar, creating a contrast between light and shadow inside and outside, giving it an enigmatic and unfathomable appearance. The entire temple seems immersed in ancient incantations, and even the immortal Murong Feng can sense a faint sense of oppression.
Taking a deep breath, Murong Feng gripped the immortal sword and slowly entered the depths of the temple.
His purpose for this trip was clear: to investigate an ancient immortal talisman containing powerful immortal energy. This talisman possessed self-awareness and was capable of suppressing demons. Recently, unusual signs were discovered at the Celestial Palace of Tian Ting, and Murong Feng was tasked with checking on the talisman's safety and, if necessary, bringing it back.
However, just as his footsteps touched the stone steps of the grand hall, a dark figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight like lightning. There was a sound of breaking the silence, followed by a fierce sword energy, aiming directly at his vital point.
Murong Feng reacted instantly, and with a sudden movement, he avoided the sword.
"Who's there?" His heart sank, and he tightly gripped the immortal sword in his hand, fully on guard.
The dark figure revealed its true identity, turning out to be a mysterious figure cloaked in black. The two sides confronted each other in the moonlight, the atmosphere becoming extremely tense for a moment.
"Who goes there, and why do you hinder me from obtaining the immortal talisman?" Murong Feng's cold gaze stared directly at the other person.
The figure in front gradually became clear, revealing a swordsman dressed in black, with a cold glint in their eyes. The two locked eyes for a moment, the tense atmosphere like a taut string on the verge of snapping, ready to erupt.
"Murong Feng, you are still as arrogant as ever. I've had my eye on this immortal talisman for a long time. Do you think you can just take it?" the figure in black robes sneered.
Before the words had even finished, the figure in black robes unleashed a sword energy towards Murong Feng. Murong Feng immediately displayed a powerful immortal force and engaged in a fierce battle with the opponent. However, due to the opponent's formidable immortal magic, Murong Feng soon found himself at a disadvantage.
At a critical moment, a burst of crimson sword light instantly tore through the silence of the night sky, like a hungry snake, swiftly heading towards Murong Feng.
However, Murong Feng seemed to have a premonition, and his figure flashed as his celestial power rapidly gathered on the dark long sword in his hand. His gaze was like lightning, instantly discerning the trajectory of the oncoming sword. Suddenly, he unfolded his figure, gracefully passing through the temple courtyard like a gust of clear wind.
"Feixing Sword Formation!" The sword light formed an impenetrable net, enveloping Murong Feng. However, at this critical moment, Murong Feng drew a perfect arc with his sword.
"Break!" He shouted loudly, and the sword formation instantly disintegrated, turning into scattered starlight that dissolved into the night sky.
Murong Feng's mouth curled into a cold smile, but he knew this was just the tip of the iceberg. His brow furrowed slightly as he sensed a sharp increase in the surrounding killing intent. In the next instant, more than ten sword lights flew from different directions. Unlike the previous sword, these sword lights were not as obvious; they were more like ghosts hidden in the night, making them impossible to guard against.
"Drink!" Murong Feng gritted his teeth and suddenly waved the sword in his hand, releasing a dazzling sword energy. "Shock!" The sword energy burst out, like a flash of lightning, shattering the several sword lights in front of him. But the next wave of sword lights was already within reach, leaving no time to react.
"Ah!" With a soft sigh, Murong Feng felt a tightness in his chest as several sword lights simultaneously cut across his shoulders, feet, and hands, instantly enveloping him in a mist of blood.
Taking advantage of this opening, another figure in black struck from behind Murong Feng, delivering a heavy blow.
Under the heavy blow, Murong Feng suddenly felt weak and involuntarily transformed back to his original form—a white fox. The white fox gave a bitter smile, staggered out of the temple, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
At that moment, Zhong Ruyan happened to be on a nearby small mountain. The fox tail hair bracelet in her hand suddenly emitted a soft light. Her heart trembled, immediately realizing that Murong Feng might be in danger.
After rushing to the scene, Zhong Ruyan saw a white fox lying on the ground, barely clinging to life. A wave of indescribable panic and unease surged in her heart, and the only thought flashing through her mind was, "I must save it quickly."
Zhong Ruyan gently lifted Murong Feng, whose white fur was already stained with blood, clearly suffering from severe injuries. She walked extremely carefully, afraid that any carelessness would worsen its condition.
In the end, Zhong Ruyan activated the bracelet's magic circle, and the shadowy figure attempted to intercept them. Fortunately, with the help of a fairy, they managed to escape. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were transported to the connection between the immortal realm and the mortal realm, Elderly Lake.
"Thank you for saving us, fairy. May I ask for your name and title?" Zhong Ruyan bowed to Princess Yueyao while holding the white fox, expressing gratitude.
"I am Yueyao, you can just call me Yueyao. I am acquainted with Murong Feng," Princess Yueyao replied softly.
"I have placed a barrier around Elderly Lake to protect it. You can rest and recuperate here for a few days," said Murong Feng, who then transformed into a fox and gracefully floated into Elderly Lake, causing ripples to gently spread across the water.
At this moment, the water in Elderly Lake suddenly ripples slightly, and a faint golden light slowly rises from the bottom of the lake, surrounding the fox.
However, due to the severe injuries, the golden light appears somewhat dim, but it continues to slowly revolve around the fox.
"Thank you, Princess Yueyao," Zhong Ruyan looked at Yueyao with deep gratitude, a hint of a smile on her lips. After expressing her thanks, she carefully observed the fox floating in the water.
Yueyao responded with a smile, "You're welcome. Mu Rongfeng and I have had shared missions before, so I naturally cannot stand by. Taking care of him is also helping to take care of our friends in the immortal realm."
"The water here has the power to restore and heal, but it takes some time."
With a smile, Yueyao transformed into a clear light and disappeared into the sky.
The gentle moonlight sprinkled on the surface of Elderly Lake, making the lake appear more mysterious and beautiful. The golden light in the lake gradually became brighter, and the fox's breathing also gradually stabilized.
Several days later, the fox's wounds had visibly improved, but it still remained unconscious.
"Princess Yueyao, why hasn't Murong Feng woken up yet?" Ruyan asked anxiously.
"He has suffered such a serious injury that even in Elderly Lake, it will take some time to recover. As a powerful member of the fox fairy clan, this level of injury won't take his life. You don't need to worry too much, just give him some more time," Princess Yueyao tried to comfort Ruyan in a very calm tone.
Zhong Ruyan was full of curiosity, and at the same time, she wanted to understand Murong Feng better. "Princess Yueyao, may I ask, what are the special characteristics of the fox spirit clan?"
Yueyao nodded with a smile, pointing to where Murong Feng lay in the Elderly Lake, then continued to explain: "The most famous feature of the fox spirit clan is their nine tails. Each tail represents a stage of cultivation, from a one-tailed fox to a nine-tailed fox. The higher the cultivation, the more tails there are. Of course, the nine-tailed fox is the most powerful existence in the fox spirit clan, and is highly respected even in the immortal realm."
"Where does their celestial aura come from?" Zhong Ruyan asked.
Yueyao replied without any hesitation, "The fox clan is born with their own celestial aura, which cannot be bestowed from the outside, but originates from their primordial spirit. Their primordial spirit possesses abundant celestial aura, enough to grant them powerful abilities even in infancy."
"In addition, they also have a very special cultivation method called 'Fox Shadow Moon Breath.' This is a method of cultivation that relies on moonlight. Only on the night of the full moon, they gather by the Elderly Lake to nourish their celestial energy with moonlight, accelerating their cultivation speed."
"No wonder Murong Feng chose to cultivate here," Zhong Ruyan suddenly realized.
Yueyao nodded and said, "That's right. The moonlight here and the spiritual energy of Elderly Lake can provide him with the greatest support. However, since the fox clan itself has the essence of animals, the way they heal is different from ordinary immortals. They rely more on the power of nature and need time to slowly recover. So, even a high-level fox immortal like Murong Feng needs a certain amount of time to regain vitality."
"What should we do then? How can he wake up?" Ruyan asked eagerly.
"In a few days, when you bring her back to the mortal world, try to nourish her with the spiritual energy of nature, tonics, and medicinal herbs. With the dual nourishment of celestial energy and earthly spiritual energy, her primordial spirit should improve significantly. As for whether she can wake up, it will depend on her own destiny," Princess Yueyao's language center chief added solemnly.
