Chapter 527: Chapter 443: The 9-Tailed Fox’s Humiliation, the Dragon Race Calls the Wind and Summons the Rain

In some ways, the tactile sensations of the One-tailed and the vicarious experience of the Nine-tailed Fox were shared. Essentially, her current state was somewhat similar to that of Jiang Qiu and Snow back then. Oh, actually, it was even deeper, because all five senses were shared.

So, when Jiang Qiu pinched the One-tailed’s face, it was the Nine-tailed Fox who felt it. However, since her most fundamental Soul was still in her own body, she felt as if the One-tailed was diluting her perception, which made her a little unhappy.

Of course, Jiang Qiu didn’t know any of this. He was just playing around and only stopped after the One-tailed’s already pink and tender cheeks turned a shy, rosy red.

He came to a conclusion: this One-tailed’s sense of touch was completely normal. She was practically like a little girl from the Human Race, not some illusion.

‘What a strange thing. To have such a real sense of touch… It’s like a physical avatar created through Refinement by a Cultivator who specializes in something like the path of puppetry. Those are always solid entities.’

Still, this also proved that the Nine-tailed Fox truly had great Talent for Cultivation. She had only just started learning the Cultivation Technique and had already caused such a stir.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiu praised the Nine-tailed Fox a few more times before asking, “So, how do you feel about the abilities you’ve mastered now? How far are you from that True Dominator, the Golden Eagle?”

‘Right now, the Nine-tailed Fox’s combat strength is the most important thing. If she can match the Golden Eagle, or at least not be at too much of a disadvantage, then with a little more support from me, we can try to seize the Spirit Fruits of the other Great Dominators.’

‘Once we’ve snatched all the other Great Dominators’ Spirit Fruits, I can advance my Cultivation quickly. Soon, I’ll be able to conquer the Demon Race in this region, and then we can set off for Tai Lake.’

‘Yes, we still have to go to Tai Lake. That place is the birthplace of numerous Spirit Fruits. It’s said that the Spirit Fruits here were brought back from there.’

Back then, the Golden Eagle had obtained eight Spirit Fruit seeds from Tai Lake. He brought them back, found the eight locations with the richest Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm, and arranged for the eight strongest and most obedient Great Dominators of the time to plant them. This tradition has been passed down for several thousand years.

Jiang Qiu was naturally interested in such a place of origin for Spirit Fruits. It also seemed to be a vast area, with countless Dominators flocking there to join the excitement every so often.

Rumor had it that many Lesser Dominators, merely at the Spirit Control Realm, also went there. But for the Demon Race of that level, most of them just ended up as snacks for the Tai Python. This didn’t stop some Lesser Dominators from getting extremely lucky, managing to obtain a Spirit Fruit seed, escape Tai Lake, and successfully plant it in a relatively peaceful land, eventually achieving the status of a Great Dominator.

A Great Dominator’s territory was equivalent to a province-sized area or larger on Blue Star. Of course, some places were desolate, meaning their actual territory was even bigger, but generally speaking, that was the extent of their power.

Being able to obtain a Spirit Fruit was a heaven-sent opportunity for any Dominator. Such chances were incredibly rare, and Jiang Qiu was very eager to go there and devour Spirit Fruits himself!

‘But the prerequisite is strength. According to the Nine-tailed Fox herself, the Taihu Python is a legendary existence. Anyone who manages to get seeds from it either has heaven-defying luck or is a petty thief who truly goes unnoticed.’

But in reality, over all these years, the number of Demon Race members who successfully stole seeds from Tai Lake was extremely small. The few who were rumored to have done so were quickly slaughtered by experts at the True Dominator Level.

Yes, if a True Dominator learned that a weak member of the Demon Race had obtained a Spirit Fruit seed, they would undoubtedly kill them. Then, they would find a member of the Demon Race they favored to cultivate, thereby raising a Great Dominator who was somewhat subservient to them.

This was pretty much the unwritten rule in all territories. It was just that Jiang Qiu’s perspective had been a bit narrow before, with limited sources of information, so he hadn’t been privy to these details.

‘In other words, if I get a chance to take something good from the Taihu Python, I’ll definitely be detected by experts at the True Dominator level. They’ll hunt me down, and if I can’t protect my prize from their pursuit, death will be the only outcome.’

‘Therefore, I need to increase my strength rapidly right now. At the very least, I have to be able to kill an expert at the True Dominator Level. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect my treasures when the time comes.’

‘If possible, I’ll kill the Eight Great Dominators and seize their Spirit Fruits. Then, I’ll kill the Golden Eagle too and take his entire stockpile.’

‘The Golden Eagle is no good guy. He’s occupied the most fertile region in the entire territory. Even the ordinary fruits within, just tinged with Spirit Charm, have bloomed into a sea of flowers. You could call it a Human Immortal Realm.’

But what about the outside?

In places like where Xiong Batian used to be, forget about fruits tinged with Spiritual Qi; even daylight couldn’t penetrate the canopy of trees overhead.

Such is the disparity!

Ordinary, lowly members of the Demon Race don’t even have the right to bask in the sunlight, yet the True Dominator is soaking in a sea of flowers.

It’s the law of the jungle—the weak are prey to the strong. If Jiang Qiu doesn’t kill the True Dominator, his opponent will surely come after him for his offense. Self-preservation and a deadly counter-attack are all that matter!

“Master, I feel like I could now easily crush the other Great Dominators who were once on my level. But against the Golden Eagle, I don’t know…” The Nine-tailed Fox bit her lip, looking somewhat guilty and also a little afraid. “I’ve never seen the Golden Eagle make a move, but he has the ability to perceive disturbances thousands of meters away. Plus, he lives at the very top of the Divine Tree, which is very high up.”
