Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person.

Someone called out behind Chen Ruoan. Turning around, he saw a man in a sharp suit standing in front of the mountain path covered with a thin layer of frost. The man had his hair slicked back and his eyes were big and bright.

"Who is it?" Chen Ruoan asked coldly. Those who can still appear in the valley now are basically related to Wugensheng.

"Gu Jiting is a sorcerer from a family with no particular sect or school of thought." The visitor announced his name and pointed to the valley ahead. "Inside lies an extremely unique place. I only learned about it through a friend's guidance. To venture in rashly is certain death."

Gu Jiting and Gao Gen of the "One Stream of Qi" were Wugensheng's confidants and Wugensheng's only two close friends within the "Quanxing" sect. They were later the ones who comprehended the "Daluo Cave Observation" and were among the most mysterious figures in the original work.

"Thanks for the reminder." Chen Ruoan continued walking towards the valley.

thump!

In just a few steps, Gu Jiting rushed over and pounced on the fox. The next second, the fox dispersed into pure energy and re-condensed in front of the valley.

“I can see that you are very strong, with a cultivation level that surpasses most people in the industry. However, this aura is not only related to your present self, but also to your past self! If a person’s past is destroyed, then their future will lose its foundation and can only end in destruction.”

Qi formation is a special pattern formed in a certain place within a certain period of time, formed by the solidification of inanimate objects and the circulation of "primordial Qi" generated by living organisms within its terrain. From a perspective that transcends time, it is a special pattern formed in a certain place within a certain period of time.

Since it is viewed from a perspective that transcends time, its impact also transcends time.

Seeing that Chen Ruoan had stopped, Gu Qiting continued to persuade him: "The key to understanding the situation lies in the change itself. You are not just who you are now, but the sum of your past, present, and possible future."

Fate is a line.

The future is a product of the inertia generated by the sum of the past and present.

Those who cultivate spirituality aim to break free from the inertia of the past by fully grasping the present moment, thereby autonomously creating the future. But even so, the past remains the foundation.

If even a small part of the past is disrupted, this person's fate comes to an end.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Chen Ruoan turned around and glanced back.

Gu Qiting replied, "I know you; you helped my friend. In return, I should offer a few words of advice."

Chen Ruoan had been traveling the world for many years and had helped countless people, so he really couldn't think of anyone who was related to Gu Jiting.

Chen Ruoan lit up his golden eyes, and the flow of "qi" in the valley was revealed before his eyes. Guided by the carvings on the stone wall, the "qi" circulated and flowed in a certain trajectory.

The rise and fall of things is inevitable and unchanging. To avoid the influence of the prevailing energy, one must follow the flow of energy, riding the wave of vitality and avoiding the wave of death.

"Are you going to go further in?" Gu Qiting asked.

"Take a look."

Apart from the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valleys, the fox had no clues to undo the tragedy. It could be said that the valley was the closest place to the upper limit of this world.

"Your Majesty, don't go!"

"Once the thread of fate is broken, you will no longer have the ability to control your destiny! From then on, you can only wait for the end of your fate under the arrangement of destiny!"

Chen Ruoan did not reply, his figure blending into the shadows of the mountain ridge. The fox's steps were not fast, but each step was precisely placed in the gaps of the airflow.

"this!?"

Gu Qiting could sense that the "qi" within a radius of ten zhang was still flowing along its original trajectory without any disorder, and Chen Ruoan passed through all the nodes that should have been fatal.

There was no breakthrough, no change in the situation; it was like one drop of water merging into another.

"This is impossible—" Gu Jiting muttered to himself, then suddenly pushed off with his feet, breaking through the thin frost on the mountain path, and quickly caught up.

The texture of the mountain becomes clearer the deeper you go, as if the mountain's own veins are exposed.

The sharp cries of golden monkeys echoed through the woods, restless and agitated. They had caught the strong scent of blood on Chen Ruoan and stopped abruptly on the distant branches.

Chen Ruoan walked through the pine forest, and suddenly the view opened up before him.

This is a natural platform with a bluish-gray stone table in the center, which looks like a place for people to meditate.

A huge cave entrance was carved out of the mountain directly opposite. The entrance was square and about ten feet high, and the inside was deep and mysterious.

Inside the cave, there is a yin-yang symbol mechanism on the ground. Once opened, a spiral stone staircase appears below, extending downwards in circles and disappearing into the endless darkness.

"This is it."

"Next, we need to suppress our emotions about the Mianshan disaster."

Chen Ruoan sat quietly in front of the carved patterns on the stone wall in the cave, his breathing gradually becoming longer and more even.

Once, twice, three times...

During the seventh breath adjustment, the fox let out an extremely soft and deep breath, as if it had swallowed something back into the depths of its bones and blood.

Gu Qiting gazed at the four walls, his eyes falling on the intricate carvings of varying depths. He had heard Wugensheng mention the mysteries of this valley before, and now that he had personally set foot here, he knew that what he had said was true.

Every line on the stone wall seems to be the work of an ordinary person.

"Clearly a sign from the heavens..."

Gu Qiting involuntarily sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and, following his family's secret method, focused his mind on his dantian with each breath.

A fox and a human seemed to have entered the inner world.

Before me stretched an endless void, bright and radiant, as if I were in the center of a galaxy. The stars moved slowly through the void, without any sense of distance; they seemed within reach, yet also seemed to be separated by eternity.

Chen Ruoan and Gu Qiting stood in the interior scene, with no ground beneath their feet and no sky above them. Time and space had no meaning here, and the past and future unfolded into a galaxy.

Two orbs of light floated in front of the fox and the human.

"According to the sorcerer's understanding, the things in the inner vision must be the concrete expression of some kind of abstract information. Your Majesty, simply put, we are comprehending the Dao! We have stumbled upon traces of immortals!" Gu Qiting said happily.

Chen Ruoan reached out and touched the nearest ball of light with his fingertips.

In that instant, a profound sense of mystery washed over him like a tide, as if a supreme will of heaven and earth was silently watching him through this sphere of light, calling upon the deepest desires in his heart.

What do I really want?

The fox had no regrets; only the pale purple poisonous haze of Mianshan Mountain, the girl's cold corpse, and the blood-soaked earth remained in its mind...

"I want the chaos to end, the enemy to be wiped out! I want the souls of the dead to return, I want time to be reversed—just give me six months to prepare, just six months!"

With the wish fulfilled, the sphere suddenly became enormous, with raging flames threatening to incinerate the entire space.

The cause and effect are too great!

The fox's cultivation level was insufficient to influence the overall situation.

Chen Ruoan gritted his teeth and fought against the massive fireball that could extinguish the heavens and destroy the world. Only when the desire in his heart was cleared did the violent ball slowly calm down.

At that moment, Gu Qiting, who was standing to the side, also stared at another ball of light and slowly closed his eyes.

His wish was not like Chen Ruoan's, which was driven by a burning desire to save the world and its people.

"I want to see all the changes in this world clearly, to see the whole picture of everything!"

The sphere of light trembled slightly, as if in response, and cracks appeared little by little.

The light seeping through the crack reminded the fox of the Jia Shen Rebellion, and the series of casualties caused by the calamity of strange skills. At the same time, a novel idea sprouted in the fox's mind.

Gu Qiting was a family practitioner of sorcery, and his studies included feng shui, physiognomy, divination, and other techniques. These practices formed the foundation for his ability to comprehend the "Great Luo Cave Observation."

The fox didn't know the specific abilities of "Da Luo Dong Guan", but it could deduce them from there.

By seeing clearly the changes and having a profound understanding of the past, one can assess the situation and act accordingly, which is why Jin Feng and Gao Gen were able to follow Wu Gensheng closely, while Gu Jiting would immediately disappear without a trace when the situation turned sour.

Another specialty of feng shui masters and physiognomists is altering feng shui.

By observing and altering the qi (vital energy), one can transform an inauspicious place into a blessed one. When this method is applied to a person, it modifies the most complex and subtle qi configuration of the human body, resulting in—changing one's fate.

Could the "Great Luo Cave Observation" step into a certain point in the target's destiny, influence the other party's fate, and thus achieve a certain degree of defying fate?

This method must be based on certain conditions. Gu Jiting may not be able to do something against the heavens, but what if the one who cast the spell was the legendary Master Ziyang, Zhang Boduan?

What if the one who would influence the past is someone of equal status to Zhang Boduan?

The ball of light remained motionless, and Chen Ruoan withdrew his hand.

He didn't try again. The moment he let go of his obsession, the scene before him suddenly changed. It was as if an invisible hand was lifting him up, higher and higher. Gu Jiting's figure gradually shrank and was swallowed by the Milky Way.

The fox has reached a higher level.

Countless rivers of light surged in from all directions, magnificent, grand, and vast, flowing with an ancient roar.

They each headed towards the same distant place, where the light was so intense that its end was nowhere in sight.

If defined using the Eastern Qi cultivation system, that is the "Tao"; if defined using the Western alchemy system, that is the "ultimate truth".

Chen Ruoan stood at the edge of the Guanghe River and looked down. What was reflected in the river was not a reflection, but the past, present and future.

All three exist simultaneously, with countless timelines intertwined and entangled, like an unsolvable tangled mess.

"It hurts!" A violent wave of dizziness washed over Chen Ruoan, and his mind was almost crushed by the immense impact.

If it weren't for the good karma and blessings accumulated over the years, Chen Ruoan wouldn't even be qualified to glimpse this scenery—any unworthy being would be obliterated within it.

"If my future could touch the past, how would you, stuck in the past, move towards the future?"

"You somewhat cunning and morbidly twisted woman, didn't you want my demon core?"

Chen Ruoan opened his mouth, and a beam of pure white light emanated from his body, gradually condensing into a smooth, jade-like, pure white pill.

With another flick of its wrists, the fox split the demon core, representing life energy and cultivation, in two.

Chen Ruoan pinched the two halves of the pill with two fingers, and probed one of them into the river of light. The moment it touched the light, the demon core transformed into a spinning ball of light and fell back to the lower level where Gu Jiting was located.

"It's yours."

"If you have the chance to get it."

boom!

With a deafening roar, the interior shattered without warning—like a giant mirror crashing down from the dome, the river of light, the stars, and the endless void all exploded into countless fragments, scattering in all directions with a whooshing sound.

Chen Ruoan was brought back to reality. Turning her head to the side, she saw Gu Jiting kneeling on the ground, one hand supporting himself against the stone wall, his face as white as paper.

"Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for what you have done today. I feel like I've lost half my life, but it was all worth it."

Gu Qiting gasped for breath. He was still a little short of getting the immortal's treasure. He was sure he would get it next time!

But···

A glimpse into the tip of the iceberg of the future!

“There will be a big uproar in the industry in the future, but I don’t know what will cause it. The riot will involve many innocent people.”

Gu Qiting was drenched in cold sweat and dared not speak too much. On the one hand, the sorcerer knew that "heavenly secrets cannot be revealed," and on the other hand, the person standing in the center of that blood-soaked scene was none other than the Xuan Tian Emperor in front of him!

Chen Ruoan was extremely tired and didn't want to talk.

Isn't this just like the Jia Shen Rebellion of 1944? Without the nine people who attained enlightenment, no chaos would have occurred within the circle.
