While Yu Zi Yu pondered on how to establish roots in the void, a voice suddenly rang in his ear, “Master, White Fox is requesting an audience…”

“White Fox,” murmuring softly, Yu Zi Yu glanced at Aurora already rooted on his body.

Aurora still liked to stay close to Yu Zi Yu. which made sense. Given Yu Zi Yu’s current strength, the Spiritual Energy in his vicinity was several times purer than the surroundings.What was even more terrifying was that Yu Zi Yu was constantly releasing abundant vitality in the air unintentionally, which happened to be immensely beneficial to Mutant Beasts and even Aurora. Thus, Aurora was reluctant to part with Yu Zi Yu.

At this moment, hearing Aurora’s voice, Yu Zi Yu also remembered that White Fox was the second leader of the Fox Clan of Green Hill. However, he had never had an audience with her since she joined Misty Mountains. After all, things were different from before.

With Yu Zi Yu’s status and strength, apart from some core members, all other Mutant Beasts and even Humans could only watch from afar. Let alone getting close to Yu Zi Yu, their movements were restricted.

They were moved to a corner deep underground in Misty Mountains, like a prison. Yu Zi Yu called it the Prison Cave.

In this place, apart from the Apex Superhuman brought back by Yu Zi Yu last time like Elder Qing, many powerful Transcendents who were unwilling to surrender or even hated Misty Mountains were awaiting Yu Zi Yu’s judgment.

However, Yu Zi Yu had been immersed in cultivation recently and didn’t have much time to deal with them.

Apart from the Prison Cave, there were many other mysterious places in Misty Mountains. For example, the Bamboo Pavilion.

It was the place where Spirit Bamboos were cultivated. It was managed by Leng Feng and his sister. It was an extremely picturesque place, like a paradise on earth.

And now, the Bamboo Pavilion had an additional task, which was to welcome guests.

Creatures like White Fox, who came from afar, had always been staying in the Bamboo Pavilion. If they wanted to go elsewhere, they would be accompanied by a member of the Mouse Clan all the time, restricting their movements to a certain extent.

…

“Let her come,” Yu Zi Yu granted the permission with a smile, while also dismissing Little Tenth and the Dream Beast.

As their cultivation was on the right track, they didn’t need too much guidance from Yu Zi Yu; creatures like them relied more on themselves.

Shortly after they departed…

*Tap, tap, tap…* With heavy footsteps, a white figure slowly emerged from the thick fog.

She had beautiful white fur that was fluttering in the wind. Her limbs were slender yet strong. Her Fox Eyes were captivating, seemingly seductive and yet not at the same time, flowing with clarity.

“Greetings, Divine Tree…” White Fox greeted in a soft voice, which surprisingly carried a hint of timidity. She even buried her head down, not daring to lift it up.

“En…” Nodding his acknowledgement, Yu Zi Yu courteously remarked with a smile, “You won’t regret your decision of joining Misty Mountains..”

While speaking, Yu Zi Yu snapped one of his branches as a drop of Life Essence flew out, shooting towards White Fox.

The next moment, White Fox’s body shook violently, and then, to her disbelief, her Spiritual Energy, which had been growing at a tortoise-like pace, started soaring at a rate visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, even her white as snow fur also began to grow.

“What’s going on?” White Fox cried in a voice tinged with disbelief and a hint of astonishment.

“Life Essence,” giving a short reply.

Yu Zi Yu glanced at White Fox, and noticing the disbelief still apparent in her eyes, explained, “Although I don’t know where you obtained knowledge of Life Essence from, whatever you have tried must have been extremely diluted, making its effects subpar.”

At this point, Yu Zi Yu momentarily paused, looking deeply at White Fox, who was glowing green all over.

This was a sign that she couldn’t fully absorb the Life Essence.

Now, Yu Zi Yu had reached the Natural Disaster-Class. His strength had undergone earth-shaking changes, and as such, his treasure—Life Essence—had also undergone a qualitative transformation.

Let alone White Fox, who was only a Tier-2 Transcendent, even if she were to advance to Tier-3, it would be difficult for her to completely digest Yu Zi Yu’s Life Essence before her strength stabilized.

And all this was because Yu Zi Yu’s Life Essence could be classified as Tier-4 Spirit Essence, which not only could bring someone back from the jaws of death, but could grow flesh on bones.

With just a drop of this Life Essence, an ordinary Human could instantly break through to the Tier-1.

Of course, the premise for all this was that the Human could bear it.

According to Yu Zi Yu’s estimate, it would already be good if the Human didn’t explode and die without breaking through. Everything in the world has its own checks and balances. There was no such thing as getting something for nothing.

If one wanted to completely absorb Yu Zi Yu’s Life Essence, they must endure the pain of being cleansed by it. And now, for the first time in her life, White Fox felt a kind of pain that she would not forget for her entire life.

*Howl…* Suddenly, a tragic scream, full of pain and sorrow echoed in North Canyon as White Fox’s body grew several times bigger in Yu Zi Yu’s calm gaze.

At this moment, if one could look through Yu Zi Yu’s perspective, they would see the surging vitality of the Life Essence assaulting every inch of White Fox’s body like a tsunami.

Not just her body, even her bone marrow…

…

It wasn’t known how long it had passed, but the tragic screams gradually ceased. At this moment, if one were to look at White Fox again, they would find her slightly different from before.

Her fur was denser, mingled with strands of crimson. 

The original delicate White Fox had gained a bit of wildness, and a hint of daunting sharpness.

“Thank you, Master,” expressing her gratitude in a very sincere tone, White Fox looked towards the figure standing quietly not far away in front of the Towering Tree, her expression filled with an indescribable sense of respect.

Just a drop of Life Essence had brought earth-shaking changes in her, like the Creator.

Such means had left White Fox in awe.

The current White Fox even had the confidence to deal with 3-4 of her past self from half an hour ago. It stood as a testament of how amazing her improvement was.

With this in mind, White Fox became even more grateful and offered, “Master, this time when we came to Misty Mountains, our Green Hill’s Fox Clan also prepared a gift for you.”

While speaking, White Fox presented a Spirit Herb.
