Chapter 7210 North Sea Silver Fox
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Long Chen checked his own report and found the exact same information as what Miao Yin had received: Another karmic luck dragon manifestation had appeared. News of such a thing always spread rapidly; after all, it was something visible from who-knew-how-many miles away. Once an outsider saw it, everyone interested would find out within the hour.
“It’s the North Sea Silver Fox race!”
The three of them were surprised by this report. The location of the karmic luck dragon manifestation was surprisingly in the northern part of the Sovereign Emperor Heaven.
In the north of the Sovereign Emperor Heaven was… the devil sea. There was nothing in this sea except death and one solitary island—the domain of the North Sea Silver Fox race.
Actually, Long Chen had some past dealings with this race. When the demons launched an attack on the human race way back in the day, the Silver Fox race was part of it. The North Sea Silver Fox race could be said to be the core of the Silver Foxes spread throughout the nine heavens and ten lands. They were, in a way, like the violet blood race’s Sovereign Mountain. This was their holy land.
Long Chen had returned the favor and slaughtered many demon races after that attack, and among those whose heads rolled under his blade, there was also a branch of the Silver Fox race. The North Sea Silver Fox race was known for being protective of its branches, and Long Chen was aware that they had secretly stirred trouble for the High Firmament Academy several times. However, a true battle did not erupt in the end. Then the new era came, and those conflicts were set aside.
The curious thing was that after the new era came, the North Sea Silver Fox race fell silent and retreated from the rest of the world. None of their members could be found outside their homeland. In fact, even when the first academy’s karmic luck dragon manifestation was discovered and the Immortal Ascension Gate invited them to join the attack, they refused to do so.
The fact that a karmic luck dragon manifestation had appeared in the North Sea Silver Fox race indicated that they had likely obtained some kind of remarkable opportunity before the new era came, or this was an eruption of countless years of power that they had accumulated. Either way, the Heavenly Daos had sensed it, and bestowed the karmic luck dragon manifestation in reply.
Other than a natural descent of the karmic luck dragon manifestation, there was actually a way to summon one. While the former could descend without warning, as had been the case with the first academy, the latter required igniting a sect’s karmic luck in combination with a sacrificial ceremony involving the heavenly geniuses of the new era. If the Heavenly Daos sensed it, the karmic luck dragon manifestation may descend.
However, there were harsh restrictions on actively summoning a karmic luck dragon manifestation. Naturally the first requirement was that whatever force was summoning it had sufficient karmic luck to begin with. If they didn’t, all their karmic luck would burn away without a response from the Heavenly Daos. The second aspect was the level of their disciples, in both quantity and quality. They needed plenty of disciples, and those disciples had to have immense potential.
The third condition was a sacrificial object. These rituals often sacrificed specific natural spiritual treasures in order to draw the attention of the Heavenly Daos. These were spiritual objects that were born from heaven and earth before the primal chaos era. Such treasures had long since become legend; even the Huayun Trading Company had never seen such an object. That was enough to show just how rare such a thing had become.
The last condition, and the most important one, was guts. Those attempting something like this needed the guts to risk it all, because failure did mean losing everything. The backlash of the Heavenly Daos would curse everyone involved in the ritual, and the result of the curse was a brutal death. Most frightening of all, such a curse would spread through blood and last for generations. Throughout history, quite a few powerful races had been destroyed because of similar rituals.
“The Silver Fox race knows how to hide themselves! No wonder I lost contact with my eyes inside! They locked down their entire territory!” exclaimed Miao Yin.
She had her own eyes in the North Sea Silver Fox race, but it was virtually impossible to directly place spies inside other races. Thus, the most common method was to use slave seals to control members. However, these races also commonly checked their core members for such a thing. Even though Miao Yin’s slave seal was very high level, it wouldn’t be able to escape the scrutiny of those who checked prospective core members.
Thus, although she had people inside, they were not among the decision makers, and they were also unable to send news to the outside world. It was only now that the karmic luck dragon manifestation descended and the seal over the Silver Fox race was lifted that she was able to receive word from her spies. But by now, the rest of the world had also learned of it.
“Young Master, the Silver Fox race is known for being vengeful. If they can successfully condense the karmic luck dragon manifestation, then once their power increases, the first thing they do will probably be to come to the first academy and challenge you!” said Miao Yin.
Thanks to her spies, Miao Yin was aware that the North Sea Silver Fox race had always viewed Long Chen’s butchering of their kin as a great humiliation, something that had to be avenged. Moreover, they were petty and vicious by nature, and they had long since put Long Chen on their list of people they had to kill. They were simply biding their time.
“There are plenty of people who want to kill me. The Silver Fox race isn’t anything special in that regard!” said Long Chen with a smile.
When Long Chen launched his counterattack and slaughtered the demon races, he had been well aware that it would plant grudges. But he didn’t care. As long as his own heart was free of guilt, who cared if his enemies filled the world?
“The North Sea Silver Fox race’s karmic luck dragon manifestation is causing a huge disturbance. They are very arrogant and conceited. They have gambled everything on this, and if they win, they will rise to an unprecedented height. But according to what I know, they’ve done countless shady things in secret over the years. Only they know how many forces they’ve wiped out. Now that the karmic luck dragon manifestation is appearing over them, they will definitely have plenty of competitors coming to seize it.”
The North Sea Silver Fox race’s past was a perfect excuse for anyone who wanted to seize the karmic luck dragon manifestation. They would be able to fight for it under the banner of righteousness by saying that they were settling old debts with the North Sea Silver Fox race.
“Their foundation cannot be compared to the High Firmament Academy, and they don’t have someone like the sweeping elder to act as a deterrent. There definitely will be a fight, so the question is whether or not we should participate!” said Zi Yan.
Zi Yan naturally couldn’t tell how strong the sweeping elder was, but the Heavenly Devil Zither had an idea. Thanks to it, Zi Yan also had a clue about the sweeping elder’s terrifying power.
The awkward thing for them was that no matter how they put it, the North Sea Silver Fox race ultimately belonged to the nine heavens and ten lands. If Long Chen attacked, it would be as a representative of the academy. Considering the High Firmament Academy’s power and status, it would definitely be a loss of face, and it would cause others to look down on them.
Long Chen chuckled. “Just because I can’t fight over it doesn’t mean that you can’t!”
The two women’s eyes instantly lit up. That was true. As long as Long Chen didn’t do anything, the two of them could definitely get involved! That was especially true of Miao Yin; if she took action and people criticized her for it, she would have the Heavenly Sound Sect taking blame for it. Furthermore, she had her own faction. If she were to bring them out for some action, it would have nothing to do with the High Firmament Academy.
“Although I represent the High Firmament Academy, if I’m just a bystander, no one can say anything, right?” Long Chen snickered. “Miao Yin, I’ll give you three days. Gather your elites here. I will give them a gift!”
Miao Yin was delighted to hear that. Anything that Long Chen would give as a gift had to be extraordinary. And thinking of the eight million elites of the first academy, Miao Yin’s heart was set ablaze. It was not her first time imagining just how amazing it would be to have her own group of terrifying experts like that. Now, she could practically see her dream manifesting.
