Journey to the West: We're too early, Nezha is only seven years old.

Zhou Xiaobai placed his hand on the belly of the sable fox, while his mind entered the sable fox's body through the Beast Taming Jade Talisman to sense its condition.

The demonic power within the Flower Fox Sable is extremely concentrated, and its physical body is incredibly strong.

"Huh!" Zhou Xiaobai made a strange discovery: the flesh of the sable fox actually had a trace of the aura of the fourth stage of the 'Eight-Nine Arcane Technique'.

Upon closer inspection, he found that the sable's body showed no signs of cultivation; it was entirely formed naturally.

No wonder the Flower Fox Sable is so powerful. It has reached the fourth level of the 'Eight-Nine Arcane Technique,' which is equivalent to the physical body of a Profound Immortal, second only to a Golden Immortal.

What kind of existence is a Golden Immortal? A direct disciple of a sage is a Golden Immortal.

Of course, the Flower Fox Sable's situation is special. It only has a trace of the Xuanxian level aura in its physical body, which is still far from truly cultivating the fourth level of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Technique".

Even so, the Flower Fox Sable's strength is still absolutely formidable in the current stage of the Great Tribulation.

"It's only because of a rare treasure like the Beast Taming Jade Talisman that I can control the Flower Fox Sable with my current level of cultivation!" The more Zhou Xiaobai observed, the more horrified he became.

Then it turned into excitement; the stronger the sable fox, the stronger the fighting force he possessed.

However, this sable fox is too famous, which doesn't suit his low-key nature.

"Chirp chirp chirp!" The ferret seemed to sense Zhou Xiaobai's thoughts, gesturing with its front paws and chirping.

Through the Beast Taming Jade Talisman, Zhou Xiaobai understood the beastly nature of the Flower Fox Sable. This Flower Fox Sable could change its form and even its species; this change was a supernatural power of its physical body.

After the alteration, even a Great Immortal could not discern its origin.

"Then you'll become a white cat!" Zhou Xiaobai conjured up a white ragdoll cat in his mind and said to the sable fox.

The ferret sensed the ragdoll cat that Zhou Xiaobai had imagined, and a wisp of white mist emanated from its body.

In a moment, the white mist disappeared, and the ferret transformed into an adorable ragdoll cat.

It's unlikely that anyone who sees this Ragdoll cat would associate it with the man-eating ferret.

"You're not allowed to eat people anymore!" Zhou Xiaobai commanded earnestly, remembering the infamous reputation of the sable fox.

"Meow!" The ferret had no intention of refusing its master's command, but its body needed a lot of energy.

Zhou Xiaobai took a large medicinal herb and fed it to the ferret. After eating the herb, the ferret felt the energy within and experienced a sense of joy.

Don't underestimate this great herb just because it's a spiritual herb. Its value in the Dragon Palace isn't that high, but that's only in the Dragon Palace's eyes. For generals like the Four Demon Generals who live in the mortal world, it's not even enough for their own cultivation, so how could they possibly give such a great herb to the Flower Fox Sable?

Besides, for Mo Lishou, the Flower Fox Sable can replenish its energy by eating some mortals, which is more cost-effective than consuming large amounts of medicine.

"From now on, you'll stay cat-like. Since you're a cat now, let's name you Xiaobu!" Zhou Xiaobai said, looking at the ferret that had become a Ragdoll cat.

He thought of the Flower Fox Sable, who had changed its name to Xiao Bu, and its experience in the original timeline. It was said that it swallowed Yang Jian whole and was killed when Yang Jian punched through its stomach.

Not long after, Yang Jian had a dog by his side, named Xiaotianquan.

That celestial hound possessed abilities similar to the sable fox, and in battle, it was as large as a white elephant, capable of biting off an immortal's head in one bite.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaobai suspected that the Howling Celestial Dog was actually this Flower Fox Sable. Just like Zhou Xiaobai was doing, Yang Jian changed the Flower Fox Sable's species so that others could not detect its original form.

To confirm this, we'll see if Yang Jian will be accompanied by the Celestial Hound in the future.

Zhou Xiaobai left the imprint space and summoned the Pegasus again.

Pegasus isn't without its advantages. Although it's not particularly fast and has almost no combat power, it has an excellent appearance and isn't overly afraid of powerful creatures.

As the face of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Horse needs to face various immortals from time to time, so its resistance to powerful auras is quite good.

Xiao Bu sat in front of Zhou Xiaobai, half of his body lying on the Pegasus's mane. If it were an ordinary horse, it would have been paralyzed and unable to move by now. Only the Pegasus could move freely and unaffected.

Riding his celestial horse, Zhou Xiaobai did not take the battlefield this time, but instead chose a different route, heading straight for the north gate of Xiqi.

Upon arriving at the North Gate, one sees a sign of truce hanging high above the gate, and the soldiers standing atop the city wall appear listless.

"Halt! Who are you? What brings you here?" the gatekeeper shouted as he saw Zhou Xiaobai.

At the same time, the spears in their hands were already aimed at Zhou Xiaobai, and the other soldiers were also ready for battle. If Zhou Xiaobai made the slightest mistake, they would launch an attack.

"I am Ao Ding, the fourth prince of the East Sea, and I have come here on the orders of my Uncle-Master Jiang!" Zhou Xiaobai replied, extending his hands to show that he had no weapons.

"Little White?" Before the soldiers could respond, a child's voice came, and then Nezha poked his head out from above the city wall.

Having just suffered a defeat, Nezha was worried that the four demon generals might take the opportunity to steal the city. He was inspecting the camp to prevent the soldiers from being careless when he arrived at the north gate. He sensed the aura of his own beast-taming talisman and heard Zhou Xiaobai's self-introduction, so he took the initiative to show himself.

Although Zhou Xiaobai had spent some time with Nezha, this was the first time Nezha had seen Zhou Xiaobai in human form.

Nezha didn't even wait for the city gate to open; he jumped off the city wall and landed next to Zhou Xiaobai.

"Third Young Master!" Zhou Xiaobai was also very happy to see Nezha, as he had personally witnessed Nezha commit suicide.

Although he received the message that Nezha had stayed in Chentang Pass and heard about Nezha from other places, he was still very excited when he actually saw Nezha safe and sound.

However, upon seeing Nezha's current appearance, I felt a mix of excitement and emotion.

Even though about five years have passed, Nezha still looks like he is seven years old and hasn't grown up at all.

At Nezha's age, he was already twelve. Normally, if one has made some progress in cultivation, twelve years old is already considered a teenager.

Nezha died at the age of seven and was resurrected by Taiyi Zhenren using his lotus body. His body was no longer an ordinary physical body and could not grow any larger.

Of course, if Nezha uses transformation techniques, he can transform into whatever he wants.

Aside from the ability to transform its physical body like a sable fox, almost no other creature can maintain its transformed form for an extended period.

"Xiao Bai, you've had a good few years, it seems you haven't suffered much!" Nezha reached out and pulled Zhou Xiao Bai, saying happily.

In his eyes, although Zhou Xiaobai had transformed into a human form, his aura remained incredibly pure, a manifestation of having no karmic burden of killing.

Looking at Zhou Xiaobai now, his cultivation has reached the "Returning to Emptiness and Merging with the Dao" stage. At this level of cultivation, he has never killed any living beings, which further demonstrates that Zhou Xiaobai's life has been peaceful and stable in the past few years.

"I'm sorry!" Zhou Xiaobai said softly.
