When the nine-tailed celestial fox's third tail emerged, the spiritual energy around its body surged tremendously. It was exceptionally dense, even denser than the spiritual energy of the spiritual herbs!

Little Black was currently playing in the spring when it sensed the situation over at that side too. It turned over, and fear flashed across its eyes. It started s.h.i.+vering and instantly ran in the other direction. It entered the dark underbrush and didn't dare show itself.

This was the power of a nine-tailed celestial fox with three tails! When it only had two tails, it wasn't enough to frighten Little Black. When the third tail emerged, it didn't even do anything, and Little Black was so badly frightened that it dared not show itself!

Ling Yun knew that the third tail had just grown out, so Little White needed a while to grow stronger before it could undergo its tribulation and take on human form. Therefore, he wasn't worried or anxious.

Following Ling Yun on this trip to the crater was definitely more beneficial for Little White than Dugu Mo. Not only did its cultivation level increase significantly, but it also absorbed a large amount of pure Yang energy from the Yang Formation. It drank the dragon saliva and went on to absorb a large amount of immortal spiritual energy and the voice of great Dao…

Without spiritual energy, the growth of the nine-tailed celestial fox was extremely slow. It could only spend countless years growing gradually. Little White, however, was currently immersed in spiritual energy. In fact, it was immersed in immortal spiritual energy!

Within its body, there was already a large amount of immortal spiritual energy sealed inside by Ling Yun. Earlier on, it was literally showered in immortal spiritual energy, so how could that not be enjoyable?

After Little White woke up, it opened its eyes and subconsciously went to find Ling Yun. When it saw Ling Yun standing there naked and smiling at it, the fox revealed a sweet smile before acting endlessly shy. That foxy att.i.tude, even when not in human form, was enough to make Ling Yun s.h.i.+ver.

Once it took on its human form, no idioms or words would be able to describe Little White's beauty. Not even famous ones such as 'beauty captivating even the birds and beasts', 'beauty exceeding even that of the natural world', and 'beauty capable of causing the downfall of a city'…

This was a fox spirit, the nine-tailed celestial fox!

Little White's tender, foxy eyes looked with hesitance at Ling Yun. The level of shyness in its eyes made Ling Yun blush a little.

Wow, besides not taking human form, Little White is basically no different from a young lady now. I can no longer treat her as just a fox…

Ling Yun looked awkward. All of a sudden, he couldn't help himself, and he used his hand to cover his bare body before turning his strong and healthy body around.

"Little White, do you know that you're making me extremely uncomfortable by staring at me like that? Go and get that little dragon back for me…"

Ling Yun hurriedly gave Little White something to do before he started looking around for a tree leaf or something. He wanted to weave something together to cover himself.

Following which, he saw the unconscious Dugu Mo lying on the ground. He spotted the black robe on his body that was stained with blood.

Why is he still sleeping… Ling Yun furrowed his brows slightly. Dugu Mo was already in Houtian Realm Level Nine, yet he couldn't even withstand such a simple blow. To think that he was still asleep, even now…

Ling Yun knew that he shouldn't touch Dugu Mo now because this wasn't a true coma. The coma was a result of him seizing the opportunity to comprehend the Dao. As for how much one could gain from this process, it was dependent on his own apt.i.tude and power of understanding.

At this moment, the stars in the sky were no longer around, and rays of sunlight started to cover the horizon.

Ling Yun muttered to himself as he wondered what day it was.

When he first met Dugu Mo, Dugu Mo told him that it was April 10th. Now that quite some time had pa.s.sed, it was likely the 12th.

c.r.a.p! If it's really the 12th, today is Ning Er's birthday! I promised Ning Er that I would attend her birthday gathering. If I don't, that little girl is definitely going to slaughter me!

Entering the crater the night of April 6th and leaving only in the morning on 12th. Ling Yun never expected to stay there for such a long time!

From the very first day they met, Xue Meining had constantly reminded Ling Yun that he had to attend her birthday gathering. Ling Yun had always rea.s.sured her that he would be there, so he was extremely sensitive to the date.

G.o.ds and Buddhas, please bless that today is not the 13th…

Ling Yun raised his head and looked around the sealed up mountains. He felt as though most of the mountains were at least two meters tall, and the highest one was probably around three meters tall. He couldn't help but wonder where he was.

Ling Yun wasn't worried that he couldn't leave this place. Given Dugu Mo's and his own abilities, they could easily climb up sheer cliffs and precipitous rock faces over hundreds of meters tall. Moreover, these were merely precipitous mountains.

"Oh…" Dugu Mo finally woke up as he grunted and opened his eyes gradually.

"Where are we? Did you manage to retrieve the Earth Emperor's Book?" Dugu Mo looked around the moment he opened his eyes. That was the first thing he asked even before he got himself off the ground.

"Why do these mountains look so familiar… Hey, genius from the Immortal Physician Sect! What are you doing? Why are you running around naked in the forest?"

Dugu Mo couldn't help but stare at Ling Yun's crotch. He was extremely intrigued and disturbed at how ma.s.sive it was. How could it grow so big? Isn't this way too big?

Ling Yun was glad that he finally woke up and gave him a bitter smile before spreading out his hands. "Run naked? You have slept like a dead pig until the morning sun is out. The cold air has been blowing my naked b.u.t.t for almost an hour already!"

"Hurry up and take off your robe for me to put on!" Ling Yun hurried over to Dugu Mo and grabbed his robe without standing on any ceremony.

"Hey, you can't take this off. This is the emblem of my ident.i.ty…" Dugu Mo fought hard not to let Ling Yun take his robe.

Dugu Mo had worn this robe for almost three years now and had never washed it from the very beginning.

However, Dugu Mo was weaker than Ling Yun, so it wasn't hard for Ling Yun to s.n.a.t.c.h the robe for himself. At this moment, the two of them were making a fool of themselves like two unsuspecting youngsters.

Fortunately, Dugu Mo was still wearing tight-fitting clothes on the inside. Therefore, he wasn't completely naked even after taking off his robe.

Ling Yun hurriedly put on Dugu Mo's robe, though he could feel the cold breeze on his lower body. However, he couldn't be bothered anymore, as he wanted to cover his body so as not to be seen by Little White.

"Where are we? Why are there so many spiritual herbs? How is it? Did you see the Earth Emperor's Book?"

Ling Yun replied depressingly, "Nonsense Earth Emperor's Book! We were in a Qian Kun teleportation formation, to begin with, and now we're simply knocked out. Look! We came out from that hole…"

Ling Yun pointed to the hole which he exited from to Dugu Mo. He might let Dugu Mo know about anything else, but he couldn't let Dugu Mo know about the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book.

After cultivating the Yin-Yang harmony balance, he managed to use it to activate the Eight Trigrams Tai Chi Diagram. Following which, the Emperor Brush jumped out from his spatial ring and entered his forehead. The Earth Emperor's Book also emerged from the ground to enter his energy center. And the thousands of s.h.i.+ning words, the starry road mapped out by the Emperor Brush…

All of these were secrets that were too important to Ling Yun!

Moreover, the fact that the Earth Emperor's Book emerged and entered Ling Yun's energy center right away showed clearly that this was his item. n.o.body could take it away from him even if they wanted to.

This, however, made Ling Yun even more curious. After cultivating his Yin-Yang harmony balance, what on earth were the changes in his energy center? Even though he was able to feel the movement of his inner energy, that was only the energy of the Yin and Yang. The immortal spiritual energy within his body was still not within his control, so he wasn't able to detect the two eyes of the Yin and Yang fish in his energy center.

Ling Yun couldn't wait to reach the Qi Cultivation. Even if he was only in Physique Tempering Stage Level Nine, he could attempt to use divine sense to look inside himself. At the very least, he could know what was going on in his energy center.

"Qian Kun teleportation formation… That spell formation is simply too powerful! What are all those gorgeous rays of light? Immortal light? Why do I feel as though I'm about to break through to the Xiantian Realm?"

Dugu Mo said doubtfully as there were far too many ridiculous events going on in his life recently. Besides drinking the dragon saliva, which he was aware of, his cultivation rose dramatically under circ.u.mstances which he didn't even know about. He was indeed at a loss.

Ling Yun smiled as he asked Dugu Mo, "Have you heard those voices? How much do you remember?"

Dugu Mo thought for a while before replying hesitantly, "I feel like I remember everything before I became unconscious and everything after that, I have no idea. I don't even know what those are and what they're used for…"

Ling Yun had everything that mysterious voice said imprinted into his mind. Even though he didn't understand any of it now, he had to remember it all because these were opportunities that he might not even encounter in the Cultivation World.

He smiled at Dugu Mo before saying in a serious tone, "I don't know either, but those are the Dao of heaven and earth. Who knows? They might be the content of the Earth Emperor's Book. They might be extremely useful for your future cultivation, so make sure you don't forget them!"

Dugu Mo grew excited as he started trembling. "Are you saying that both of us technically obtained the Earth Emperor's Book?"

Ling Yun thought for a while before answering, "I guess so…"

The spiritual herbs moved as Little White really did bring Little Black back. Ling Yun saw that Little White was actually standing on Little Black's head with a prideful face as if it were showing off its victory. Its majestic and lively look was truly adorable.

Now that Little White had its third tail, it had already grasped the initial transformation technique. It already knew that Dugu Mo had awoken, so it made its third tail disappear before coming back. Currently, it looked like it still had just two tails.

"This fox is really pretty and one with two tails… Eh, why are there horns on the python's head?"

Now that there was sunlight, Dugu Mo could look at Little White clearly. Therefore, he couldn't help but compliment its good look. Very quickly, he spotted Little Black.

Ling Yun laughed as he explained to Dugu Mo that Little Black, which they saw in the formation, wasn't a python but a dragon that was about to transform. Now that it had successfully transformed, its body shrunk to one-fifth of its original size.

"No wonder you would waste so much energy to rescue it. So it's a dragon…"

All of a sudden, Ling Yun, Dugu Mo, Little White, and Little Black all heard a large explosion. They looked over at the east side of the mountain simultaneously!

"Oh G.o.d! Savages! No wonder this place looked so familiar! We're in Shennongjia!"

Dugu Mo cried out loudly!
