Before coming here, they had specifically asked their elders about this place.

Even those seniors could only fill one bottle at most after two months.

Yet now, they had filled two bottles in just about a day.

It was truly astonishing.

Tushan Susu and Tushan Wuyi both felt that they had completely underestimated Xiao Shou’s strength. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

As expected of Tushan Qing’s descendant.

Setting aside his character, his ability was absolutely top tier.

No wonder Tushan Qing was willing to take responsibility for him.

And he even had such an adorable little spirit pet.

He was truly a winner in life.

Unaware of the thoughts running through the siblings’ minds, Xiao Shou once again released the minor spiritual purification art and cleansing a large number of Nascent Soul level blood shadows.

At this point, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the ninth cycle of the Golden Core stage.

He could now unleash the maximum range of the Golden Core purification technique.

Each use brought in several times more evolution energy than before.

During the last two uses, after releasing the minor spiritual purification art, he had even begun to vaguely understand what Yao Heng meant by blood boiling.

His hair and eyes had become an even purer black without the slightest trace of impurity.

As for Yao Heng, about an hour ago, after absorbing enough evolution energy, it had said it was about to awaken and then lay still on Xiao Shou’s hair without moving at all.

It no longer absorbed any evolution energy.

Since then, Xiao Shou had been able to absorb ninety percent of the energy each time.

Perhaps that was why he was starting to feel that sensation of his blood boiling.

After each use of the purification technique, the brother and sister would immediately restore Xiao Shou’s mental and physical energy.

This time, just after they finished helping him recover, Xiao Shou was about to fly forward and use the minor earth shatter art again when a thunderous explosion suddenly erupted all around them.

It sounded like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart.

The entire area shook violently as if the heavens and ground were overturning.

The tremors continued for quite a while without stopping.

"This is bad. Someone has triggered the restriction on the heart of the Hell Flame Beast."

Tushan Susu’s face showed both panic and anger.

She quickly formed a complex series of hand seals.

Spiritual energy gathered and formed a white fox phantom about five to six meters in size with three tails enveloping her body.

Following her will, one of the tails swept outward, knocking away the falling debris caused by the violent shaking.

The other two tails curled around and pulled Xiao Shou and Tushan Wuyi into the protection of the fox phantom.

Xiao Shou was not surprised by Tushan Susu’s transformation.

Having read the original story, he knew this was one of the Fox Clan’s secret techniques, the Nine Tails Manifestation.

Only those with Celestial Fox or Terrestrial Fox bloodlines could cultivate it.

At the Qi Refining stage, one tail could be formed for protection.

At the Foundation Establishment stage, two tails, and so on.

This manifestation was not just for show.

It could unleash the innate abilities of the white fox form and half of its true power.

What surprised Xiao Shou was that the tremor showed no signs of stopping.

Tushan Susu’s words also caught his attention.

Could it be that the protagonist’s group had already reached the location of the heart?

He could not help but ask, "What is going on?"

"Someone has triggered the restriction on the heart of the Hell Flame Beast," Tushan Susu replied while controlling the three tailed fox phantom and rushing toward the source of the explosion.

"Uncle Shou, since you did not grow up within the clan, you do not know these internal matters. When our ancestors first discovered this secret realm, it was still in its early stage of formation. Many treasures had not yet formed."

"Our ancestors, thinking of the future development of the clan, placed numerous restrictions throughout the realm. They also went through great difficulty to find a Hell Flame Beast and used the entire secret realm to nurture it."

"You already know the value of the Hell Flame Beast. Back then, the ancestors worried that future generations might over harvest it, so they placed a restriction on its heart. They also established a rule that only ten clan members below the Nascent Soul stage could enter once every hundred years."

Tushan Wuyi continued the explanation from the side.

"According to the ancestors’ calculations, this would allow the Hell Flame Beast to grow without being harmed, while also enabling each generation of outstanding clan members to evolve their bloodlines."

"When the Hell Flame Beast eventually consumed the entire secret realm and reached maturity, its heart would be taken and given to the strongest bloodline within the clan. That person’s bloodline divine ability would then reach a level closest to that of a true nine tailed Celestial Fox or Terrestrial Fox."

"With such a person, whether in the Spirit Realm or the Immortal Realm, as long as they did not fall, the Fox Clan would continue to prosper."

"Over time, it has grown to its current state. The Hell Flame Beast is a special lifeform with extremely low intelligence. As long as it has food and does not encounter a life threatening crisis, it will not move."

In just this short time, Tushan Susu was already beginning to struggle to maintain the three tailed manifestation.

Tushan Wuyi took over maintaining the fox manifestation and continued running while Tushan Susu explained to Xiao Shou, "So inside its body, no matter how much evolution energy we take, as long as we do not touch its heart, the Hell Flame Beast will not move or wake up. But once its heart is disturbed, its massive body will begin to shake violently, and terrifying changes will occur inside it."

"How terrifying?" Xiao Shou asked, swallowing slightly.
