Chapter 511 Return to Ruins
After leaving the Netherworld Demon City, A Qiu planned to ask the local demon tribe where there were other cities nearby. In other words, he wanted to know some maps of the Southern Wilderness. However, that was not easy to get. Except for the territory near the Netherworld City, the rest of the places were not shown. After all, no one was the type to move around. How could they move around when they couldn't even save their own lives?

In the territory of the Southern Wilderness, various powerful demon tribes like the Demon King of the Nether City who sacrificed living creatures would capture a group of demons for sacrifice from time to time in order to obtain the power of the evil god, or activate some relics left by the evil god. If one wants to leave the Nether City and find a suitable place to practice, one has to ask for directions step by step.

With this thought in mind, Qiu stayed in some small towns outside Nether City for a few days and finally asked some useful questions: "Go east, to Guixu?"

There was an old man in the village who must have seen a lot of storms. He said that they could go to Guixu to take a look, where there would be many monsters looking for opportunities. He himself wanted to go there when he was young, but it was too far away. He was willing but unable, so he never went.

And Aqiu had also heard of the name Guixu, which was a huge relic in the east. It was said to be the place where gods fell and where the evil god and the righteous god died. Of course, the righteous god died, but the belief in the evil god reached its peak. It can be seen that the evil god was the winner in the end. There were relics of gods there. If there was a chance, one could get the inheritance and elevate one's realm to a whole new level.

Without saying a word, A Qiu followed the path pointed by the old man and walked towards Guixu. He naturally didn't recognize the road, but the old man knew part of the route, so he just went ahead. Anyway, what he had no shortage of in this life was time. If he met any gathering places of believers of the evil god on the road, he would kill them all and become as strong as possible until he could reach peace all the way.

"Guixu?" In the unknown sky, there was a pair of invisible eyes overlooking everything. Jiang Qiu murmured, "The place where the gods fell."

What is God?

His first thought was the Nine-tailed Fox God. After all, that was the first being he encountered with the concept of gods. However, the concept of gods at that time still remained in the First Heaven, and later no one called Yiwei the Nine-tailed Fox God.

Thinking back to that time, it seems as if I were living in the ancient legend of the primitive ancient forest. The nine-tailed fox is the embodiment of spirituality and mystery, with unpredictable power. Its image appears in countless classics and scrolls, always with a hint of mystery and elusiveness.

Its fur is as white as snow, so smooth that even water drops cannot stay on it, and its nine fluffy tails sway gently in the wind, with the tips dotted with light vermilion, like the most brilliant color under the setting sun. Its eyes are as deep as stars, shining with a light that does not belong to the mortal world, as if it can see through all the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in the world, but it is also aloof and unwilling to easily reveal its inner world.

When it sits quietly under the moonlight, it seems to be shrouded in a layer of light silver light, which is a transcendent temperament and its dignity as the ancestor of the nine-tailed fox clan. There is a hint of melancholy in its eyes, as if it is recalling the ancient history, or looking into the distant future.

The nine-tailed fox moves slowly and gracefully, with each step showing no trace of worldly impetuosity, only wisdom and composure accumulated over thousands of years. Occasionally, it lets out a long and soft howl, and that sound pierces the night, carrying endless stories and secrets, and touches people's hearts.

On that silent night, the nine-tailed fox was the most moving legend in the mountains and forests. It needed no further explanation, as its existence itself was a story.

Later, it walked with me for a long distance and separated into one tail, but I still couldn't tell which one was the nine-tailed fox god. It was like a dream.

I don’t know what kind of secret realm the Nine-tailed Fox and the One-tailed Fox have entered and what kind of scenery they have seen.

Can they find Ah Xiong's soul and bring it out successfully, or find a way to the fifth heaven?

As his thoughts turned, he continued to observe Qiu's movements, while on the other side, the nine-tailed fox was immersed in a fantasy.
A girl named A Qing.

She is like a quiet night, often sitting under the dim light, immersed in her own world. Between her brows, there is a hint of melancholy, as if even her thin eyebrows carry too many stories. Her eyes are dark and deep, like a pool of autumn water, both gentle and distant, as if she can see through people's hearts, but always makes people feel out of reach. There is a subtle sadness in the corners of her eyes, which is difficult to completely cover up even when she smiles.

Her hair was smooth and shiny, casually draped over her shoulders, fluttering gently with her movements. Whenever she turned around, her side profile seemed to have a kind of cold beauty. Her skin was white and transparent, forming a sharp contrast with her indifferent temperament, making people want to explore the secrets deep in her heart.

She was wearing a simple long dress with plain colors. The hem of her dress swayed gently in the wind, giving people a feeling of tranquility and loneliness. Her movements were graceful and slow, and it seemed that time was flowing even more slowly around her. She didn't like crowds, and often chose a secluded corner to practice, and time passed quietly.

People around her kept their distance from her because her indifference made people afraid to approach her easily. However, when their eyes occasionally met, people could feel the depth and stories in her eyes. That was her unique world, just waiting for the person who could understand her to explore.

But at this moment, she is definitely not so relaxed. She is struggling to move forward in the broken time and space.

All around her were fragmented pieces of space, floating like broken mirrors, reflecting distorted light and shadows. Her skirt had long been tattered, revealing her fair skin covered with scars. Every breath she took carried the smell of blood, which was the trace of the turbulence of time and space raging in her body.

"Ahem." She covered her mouth, dark red blood seeping out from between her fingers. This body was almost at its limit, but she couldn't stop. Stopping would mean death, and like the other demons who turned into dust in the cracks of time and space, she would disappear forever from this world.

There was a roar of space collapse in the distance. Ah Qing's pupils shrank and her body suddenly dodged to the left. A dark space crack brushed past her sleeve, tearing the cloth into pieces, revealing her arm. Her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. If she had been a little slower, her body would have been torn into pieces.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a green light. In the gray and broken space, that light was particularly eye-catching. Ah Qing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. In this dead and silent world, any abnormality could be a sign of life, or it could be a greater danger.

She approached the green light carefully and found that it was a palm-sized bronze fragment. The surface of the fragment was covered with mysterious lines, and those lines seemed to be flowing slowly as if they had life. Ah Qing's breathing became rapid and she was surprised. She could feel the great power contained in the fragment, which was the breath of the ancient times!
The moment she reached out to touch the fragments, something strange happened!
The bronze fragments suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and countless runes emerged from the fragments, turning into chains that wrapped around Ah Qing's arms. She wanted to withdraw, but found that her body could no longer move. The rune chains spread along her arms and soon covered her entire body. The more she struggled, the more she felt bound.

"Ah!" Ah Qing cried out in pain, as the runes burned her flesh like a branding iron. Even more terrifying was that she felt her consciousness being pulled, as if being dragged into some unknown abyss.

At this moment, a distant and ethereal voice sounded in her mind: "Finally I have waited for the destined person." Ah Qing's consciousness was in a trance. When she came to her senses, she found herself in a vast starry sky. Countless stars were circulating around, and each star exuded a different breath. Some were as hot as fire, some were as cold as frost, some were full of vitality, and some were lifeless.
"This is..." Ah Qing looked at the scene in shock.

"This is the cultivation method of the Nine-Tailed Body," the divine and ethereal voice sounded again, "My name is Nine-Tailed Fox. This cultivation method was created by me. I am passing it on to you today. I hope you can get out of this place."

Before she finished speaking, before Ah Qing could be shocked, countless information flooded into her mind. She felt like her head was about to explode, and those abstruse scriptures, obscure spells, and profound principles were impacting her consciousness like a tide.

"Hold on!" The nine-tailed fox's voice was a little anxious, "If you can't bear it, your soul will be torn apart!"

Ah Qing gritted her teeth, her gums bleeding, and her beautiful face unexpectedly showed some toughness. Her consciousness began to blur, and the world in front of her was spinning. But she knew that this was her last chance. In this broken time and space, if she missed this opportunity, only death would await her.

It took a lot of energy to get here. If I die or get nothing, it would be a waste of energy.

"Ah!" She screamed, her eyes bloodshot. The spiritual energy in her body began to circulate frantically, following the route of the Nine-Tailed Body. The originally blocked meridians were forcibly opened, and the severe pain made her almost faint, with her eyes rolling back.

At this moment, something strange happened again!
The surrounding stars suddenly began to vibrate violently, and space cracks spread across the sky. The Nine-Tailed Fox's voice became more urgent: "This space and time is about to collapse! Remember, the way of cultivation of my Nine-Tailed Fox clan is..."

Before she finished speaking, Ah Qing's consciousness was forcibly pulled back to reality. She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself still standing there, holding the bronze fragment in her hand. But at this moment, the fragment had lost its luster and turned into an ordinary piece of bronze.

Before Ah Qing had time to think about it, she felt an unprecedented power surging in her body. Her cultivation had unexpectedly reached a new level without her noticing! What shocked her even more was that her consciousness became extremely sharp, and she could even sense the slightest fluctuations in the surrounding space.

"Is this the power of the Nine-Tailed Body?" Ah Qing muttered to herself. She could feel that the way her spiritual energy was functioning had undergone a radical change, and every bit of spiritual energy contained a mysterious Dao rhythm.

However, what was somewhat surprising was that although I was originally just an ordinary fox, I actually grew a white fluffy tail behind my butt and white fluffy ears on my head.

The most surprising thing is that there is a plum blossom-like nine-tail mark on her forehead, like a bud about to bloom. Obviously, she has accepted the inheritance from the nine-tailed fox.

Ah Qing was so surprised and happy that he forgot about his injuries. "Was that voice just now from a god? Have I inherited the legacy from a god?"

But at this moment, she heard a sound of breaking air in the distance. Ah Qing's face changed, and she quickly restrained her breath and hid behind a piece of space debris. Soon, several figures appeared in her sight.

They were three other demon cultivators, wearing tattered Taoist robes and with ferocious looks on their faces. They held blood-stained magic weapons in their hands, and it was obvious that they had just experienced a fight.

"I clearly sensed a spiritual fluctuation here just now." One of the one-eyed demons said grimly, "Could it be that some unlucky person died here?"

"Be careful," another hunchbacked demon looked around vigilantly, "The space in this area is very unstable, maybe..."

Before he finished speaking, a space crack suddenly opened behind them. The hunchback demon tribe was swallowed by the crack before they could react, and they only had time to let out a short scream.

The remaining two demons' faces changed drastically and they quickly retreated. But Ah Qing knew that they could not escape because in his perception, the space in this area was collapsing rapidly.

Sure enough, the next moment, countless space cracks spread out like a spider web. The two demons fled desperately, but were still caught up by the cracks and turned into a ball of blood mist.

Ah Qing held her breath, cold sweat oozing from her forehead. If it weren't for the Nine-Tailed Body making her extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations, she would have been doomed at this moment. This space and time was more dangerous than she had imagined.

Thanks to the inheritance of the nine-tailed fox, he was able to adapt to the situation here better. Moreover, the cultivation method of "Nine-tailed Body" was so profound that as long as he continued to practice, his limit was difficult to estimate. He was far more powerful than the other monsters in this world. He didn't even need to pray for the blessing of the evil god to become strong.

Thinking of this, Ah Qing clenched his fists and began to look for a way to leave this place.

And above the sky that she could not perceive, a pair of eyes were watching everything here. It was a nine-tailed fox with a pair of charming peach blossom eyes: "Is this the illusion of the fourth heaven? It's so difficult."

Yes, it was she who taught the "Nine-Tailed Body" just now. This was not a whim. She had already modified some key parts of the "Nine-Tailed Body". When others practiced it, it would be equivalent to becoming her descendants. They would not pose a threat to her, nor would they be stronger than her.

Moreover, her consciousness has been in this world for countless millions of years, and she has not met anyone who can speak to her and is qualified to receive the inheritance for a long, long time. Her vision has also been bound in this crack in time and space. She cannot find the inheritor, and her vision cannot get out.

Yes, this is Guixu.
