Chapter 528: The 9-Tailed Fox's Humiliation; The Dragon Race Calls the Wind and Summons the Rain

Chapter 528: Chapter 443: The 9-Tailed Fox’s Humiliation; The Dragon Race Calls the Wind and Summons the Rain

The Golden Eagle, a member of the Flying Demon Clan. Its body contains a portion of the Chaos Bloodline. A True Dominator, one of the strongest beings in the outer Primitive Ancient Forest!

The number of True Dominators is incredibly small, and the territories they command are vast. Without heaven-defying abilities, how could they control such large domains in this backward world?

Moreover, True Dominators have clans, and their clans can monitor their territories. For example, right now, there could be a descendant of the Golden Eagle Race watching the activity below from overhead.

The canopy of trees may block the sky, but the gazes from above are never obscured. Those of the Flying Demon Clan can easily see the situation below.

It’s because they can fly. And with a powerful expert like a True Dominator founding their clan, they are naturally born with a starting point far higher than that of an ordinary member of the Demon Race.

That’s right. Even if they can’t compare to the pure Chaos Bloodlines in the depths of the Primitive Ancient Forest, they are still far beyond the inferior members of the Demon Race who start their Cultivation with mixed blood.

At the very least, they achieve Spiritual Awakening not long after birth. Then, following the Cultivation Technique passed down by the Golden Eagle Ancestor, they go through Opening Spirit Veins and cultivate continuously. The ones with good Talent can then attempt to enter the Spirit Control Realm, and the prodigies among them even have a chance to reach the Great Dominator level, which is above the Spirit Control Realm!

They don’t lack resources either. The Golden Eagle Ancestor controls a large portion of the resources in this outer region. With tens of thousands from the Demon Race providing for him, would he be stingy when it comes to raising his own descendants?

This is the difference between having a bloodline and having none. The gap is so vast that even now, the Nine-tailed Fox has no idea just how immense the Golden Eagle Race’s power truly is.

It wasn’t that she had never climbed to the treetops. Back when she reached the level above the Spirit Control Realm and became one of the Eight Great Dominators, she grew curious about the world above the canopy and climbed up.

At that time, her body was already very strong, yet not overly large, so she was naturally able to make the climb. But after she got up there, she only felt countless gazes at the Dominator Level fixed on her, and there were even many Great Dominators!

And what she saw was likely just the tip of the iceberg!

The Nine-tailed Fox was well aware that they usually didn’t interfere with everyone simply because the Golden Eagle Race was too proud. At most, they would occasionally come to monitor the Eight Great Dominators or patrol the territory for the sake of their Ancestor’s tasks.

The lofty Golden Eagle Race… even a member who had just reached the Spirit Control Realm would look down on her, who was above the Spirit Control Realm. A tide of humiliation surged across the river of time and flooded her heart, causing her scarlet eyes to gleam and her sharp claws to glint coldly. ‘Once I cultivate to the second layer, I definitely won’t be weaker than that Golden Eagle!’

Even though she had never seen the Golden Eagle make a move, a single fleeting glimpse had been enough to feel its overwhelming might. Yet, what could not be ignored was her even more resilient heart.

‘Just because the Golden Eagle is powerful, does that mean I shouldn’t dare to challenge him?’

‘Just because I can’t see through his depths, does that mean I’ll never be able to catch up in my entire life?’

This world has never lacked members of the Demon Race who dared to strive upward. From the moment of their Spiritual Awakening, every member of the Demon Race pursues a path of advancement, without regret!

She, too, dreamed of escaping the great calamity of the First Celestial Realm. If she couldn’t even defeat a True Dominator, if she didn’t even have this much courage, this much ambition, then how could she cultivate? How could she travel to the Second Celestial Realm!

At these thoughts, the Nine-tailed Fox’s blood boiled. She felt her will burning, and One-tailed, who shared her Soul, also clenched her tiny fists. She raised her head, her already shy cheeks turning even redder, and a resilient light brewed in her large eyes.

“The second layer?” Jiang Qiu pondered for a moment. “Then continue your Cultivation. I believe in you.”

‘The second layer… who knows how long it’ll take to cultivate that. The path of creating avatars has always been difficult. Besides, I feel like this Cultivation Technique of the Nine-tailed Fox’s is gradually diverging from any Secret Technique I know of.’

‘She’s forging an entirely new Path of Cultivation. The complexity is indescribable. In short, the “second layer” the Nine-tailed Fox mentioned is no less difficult than cultivating through an entire new High Realm!’

Yes, that’s what Jiang Qiu felt. When he had touched and pinched One-tailed’s cheek just now, it wasn’t just for fun. He was also probing her, and he discovered that she had a physical structure, along with some underlying principles he couldn’t even begin to comprehend.

And this was only the first layer. The difficulty of cultivating the second layer was easy to imagine. After all, basically every Cultivation Technique followed the principle of getting harder the further one progressed.

Furthermore, nine is the ultimate number. For the Nine-tailed Fox, going from One-tailed to Nine-tailed is a path to the summit. The difficulty would certainly increase exponentially. Perhaps One-tailed took a month, but Two-tailed could take a year, or even ten years!

It would even be normal if she could never comprehend how to create a Two-tailed form. The path ahead was one the Nine-tailed Fox had to walk on her own. Jiang Qiu couldn’t participate, so naturally, he couldn’t help her grasp the direction of her Cultivation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiu felt a bit wistful. ‘The Path of Cultivation is not easy. Time and resources are the most precious things of all.’

The Nine-tailed Fox knew all of this as well. But when she heard Jiang Qiu’s words, “I believe in you,” she froze. Her face went pale, then flushed red. She gently bit her lower lip with her canine teeth. “Master, I will definitely not disappoint you!”

With a *thump*, she was about to kneel in submission again, but Jiang Qiu had anticipated it and supported her by the waist. “That’s enough. No more kneeling. I’m not used to it. From now on, a simple bow will suffice.”

“Eek~ I… I understand.” When Jiang Qiu’s small hand held her waist, the Nine-tailed Fox’s delicate body trembled, a tingling numbness spreading across her skin. “I will listen to whatever Master says.”

“Mm.”

After their exchange, the Nine-tailed Fox took One-tailed’s hand and went back into the cave to cultivate. Jiang Qiu also resumed his own Path of Cultivation, but he no longer planned to purely absorb Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm. It was too slow!

‘My speed at absorbing Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm feels slower than the Nine-tailed Fox’s. I should study the Secret Techniques within my bloodline inheritance instead.’ Jiang Qiu’s Dragon Eye flashed, and his blood began to boil. ‘The Dragon Emperor’s legacy.’

That’s right. Ever since Opening Spirit Veins, he had felt an inexplicable sense that his access to the Dragon Emperor’s legacy had increased. He should be able to obtain some unexpected Secret Techniques now.

However, the things from the Dragon Emperor’s legacy were not easy to cultivate. It was also possible that he was still too young and, aside from tempering his physical body, could do nothing else.

The only, the single thing he could do, seemed to be… to Call the Wind and Summon the Rain?

Yes, the first Cultivation Technique in the Dragon Emperor’s legacy was Call the Wind and Summon the Rain. It wasn’t that Jiang Qiu didn’t want to cultivate it this past month; he had just always felt he didn’t have enough Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm to control it, so he had temporarily set it aside.

Now was the perfect time. He had stored up a decent amount of Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm, so he could try cultivating it.

The so-called Call the Wind and Summon the Rain was to summon great winds and heavy rains. But this was a Dragon Race legacy, after all—an incredibly potent Dragon Race legacy. Perhaps even that guy, Emperor [Chen], didn’t have one this pure.

This Call the Wind and Summon the Rain, naturally, was not about summoning ordinary wind and ordinary rain. According to the descriptions in the legacy, when Call the Wind and Summon the Rain was cultivated to its highest level, it would become an instinct for the Dragon Race, just like breathing.

What is an instinct?

With a single thought, the wind comes. With a single thought, the rain comes. All wind and rain are but a single thought away. One doesn’t even need to consider the Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm consumed, just as one doesn’t worry if their nose is getting tired when breathing.

Moreover, the wind it summons is a storm that can tear space apart, and the rain it summons is a downpour that can destroy worlds—a cataclysmic-level disaster!

This was Call the Wind and Summon the Rain at its highest level. It could be said that a member of the Dragon Race who reached this level could cause a small world to collapse just by taking a light breath.

And yet, this was merely the most fundamental characteristic of the Dragon Race. All dragons should possess such a trait; it was just that Jiang Qiu had not grown up yet and needed to cultivate it.

Having just gone through Opening Spirit Veins, it wouldn’t be wrong to call him an infant. He was naturally not yet grown. However, he could still attempt to cultivate Call the Wind and Summon the Rain.

He wasn’t sure how long it would take to cultivate, but he felt that since it was an inherent trait of the Dragon Race, it shouldn’t be that difficult to learn…
