Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A Thousand Phantom Ice Fox. A one in a million rare existence in the Phantom Fox Clan. In the eyes of the Phantom Fox Clan, Thousand Phantom Ice Foxes were a symbol and were revered. They were so rare that they had become almost a legend.
“Yes. My mother told me that I’m a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox.” Huan’er nodded.
“Who’s your mother? What’s her name?” the woman asked.
Huan’er frowned and thought for a while before saying, “Her name… seems to be… Du Xuan.”
“Du Xuan?” Upon hearing Duan’er’s words, the woman’s eyes widened. She asked eagerly, “Are there two small moles on the corner of your mother’s right eye?” She looked at Huan’er expectantly as she waited for Huan’er’s reply.
“H-How do you know that?!” Huan’er was shocked. She looked at the woman intently as she asked, “You… Do you know my mother?”

“Your mother is my niece… Her father is my brother.” The woman’s eyes were brimming with excitement as she looked at Huan’er. She murmured, “You’re Xuan’er’s daughter, huh? I didn’t expect her to have kids. Moreover, you’re a rare Thousand Phantom Ice Fox! Great… This is great!”
“My mother is your niece… Then, that means you’re my…” Huan’er was stunned by the woman’s revelation. She did not expect to meet a relative in the Little World.
“You should call me grandaunt since you’re my grandniece,” the woman said excitedly.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian stood at the side, clearly in shock. The woman who possessed the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring, was not only from the Phantom Fox Clan, but she was also Huan’er’s grandaunt? At this moment, he felt as though he was living in a novel. He did not expect there would be such a coincidence in this world.
“It’s truly a surprise that I, Du Fei, would meet Xuan’er’s daughter before the remnants of my soul dissipate. Moreover, you’re a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox as well… Even after my soul vanishes, I’ll have no regrets,” the woman said with a sigh.
It was clear the woman’s name was Du Fei.
“My child, what’s your name?” Du Fei looked at Huan’er.
“Huan’er.” Huan’er was still in a daze. It felt as though she was dreaming. Who knew she had other relatives in the world apart from her mother?
“Huan’er… What a nice name…” Du Fei nodded before she asked, “Why did you enter this Little World? Where’s your mother? Is she… okay?”
Hearing Du Fei’s question, Huan’er suddenly looked down. “My mother passed away long ago…”
Huan’er recounted everything that had happened to her slowly in response to Du Fei’s question.
“You… You’re just a teenager?” Du Fei was stunned when she heard Huan’er’s words. Although the remnants of her soul only possessed strength comparable to a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial, she still had the spiritual knowledge of a Celestial King. Thus, she could easily detect Huan’er’s cultivation base and discovered that Huan’er was an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. How could a teenager be an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?
However, after a moment, Du Fei seemed to recall something. “Well, you’re a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox after all. You’re naturally talented. Moreover, your mother left you a Divine Crystal. It’s not impossible for you to achieve such a feat.” She sighed dejectedly as she continued to say, “Since your mother has passed away… I’m guessing that something has happened in your family…”
Based on what Du Fei could remember, her niece had a marriage alliance with one of the most powerful families in the Phantom Fox Clan. However, her niece broke the marriage alliance so there was no way that family would let matters slide. Moreover, if that family knew her niece had sex with a human and gave birth to Huan’er, a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox, that family would definitely go to great lengths to kill Huan’er. After all, once Huan’er became strong enough, that family’s standing in the Phantom Fox Clan would fall! They would definitely do everything in their power to prevent that from happening!
“What’s the matter?” Huan’er asked anxiously.
“I won’t tell you the specifics because it won’t do you any good… With your talent, you might be able to help your mother and our entire family in 1,000 years once you’ve grown stronger.” Du Fei sighed. She did not wait for Huan’er to respond as she looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Boy, after listening to Huan’er, I’m certain you’re a trustworthy person… It must be fate that Huan’er met you…”
Du Fei continued to say, “I can’t give her the secrets of the Phantom Fox Clan. However, since Huan’er is a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox and has inherited the memories of the Thousand Phantom Ice Foxes, she doesn’t need those secrets… You’re human, I can’t tell you the secrets of the clan as well. However, I can give you all the power that’s left in my soul remnants!” As she trailed off, the huge Phantom Fox disappeared as well. After a few moments, her body became more and more translucent. At the same time, a strong yet gentle force rippled out of her body and swept toward Duan Ling Tian.
Huan’er could sense the force was not malicious so she did not make a move. However, her expression changed drastically. She knew what Du Fei was trying to do. “Grandaunt, w-what are you doing?!”
“Huan’er, I’ve died a long time ago… This is just the remnants of my soul. They’ll dissipate sooner or later. I’m going to help him before they disappear. Since your mother and I have passed away, I’ll leave you in his care.” Du Fei grew even more and more translucent after she finished speaking. Her power poured into Duan Ling Tian’s body continuously.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian felt his Celestial Origin Energy boiling with power in his body. He could clearly feel Du Fei’s power surging into his body.
Du Fei’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “Remember this method… Due to the clan rules, I can’t teach you the Phantom Fox Clan’s cultivation method. I obtained this cultivation method, the Tai Yi Profound Method, by accident. It’s a king-grade cultivation method. With your talent, you can easily break through and become a Celestial King with its help.”
Suddenly, Du Fei exclaimed in surprise, “Oh? You have 99 Heavenly Veins like a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox? It seems like you and Huan’er are made for each other. You’re just as talented as her! Boy, I don’t have much time left. Remember this; before Huan’er becomes a Celestial Emperor, don’t let the Phantom Fox Clan know about her existence…”
Du Fei continued to say in a solemn tone, “Remember my words. If someone from the Phantom Fox Clan finds out that Huan’er is a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox before she grows strong, unless they’re from the Du family, you must do everything in your power to kill them… Otherwise, Huan’er would be in danger. As for Pei Yuan Ji, I’ll leave him a Memory Celestial Talisman before my soul dissipates. Please pass it over to him. If he still remembers our past friendship, he’ll look out for both of you…”
Du Fei disappeared, and Duan Ling Tian discovered her power had disappeared from his body as well. Moreover, he discovered that he had also completely mastered the king-grade cultivation method, the Tai Yi Profound Method. If he did not join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, he would have been unaware of the existence of king-grade cultivation methods. He had learned about their existence from the three Celestial Alchemists in Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
After joining Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Duan Ling Tian had wanted to change his cultivation method. There were several heaven-grade cultivation methods in the sect and one duke-grade cultivation method. It would not be difficult for him to ask for a heaven-grade cultivation method, but the same could not be said for the duke-grade cultivation method. One needed to make great contributions to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect before they could cultivate the duke-grade cultivation method. It was at that time that he learned, apart from being divided into yellow, profound, earth, and heaven grades, cultivation methods were also divided into duke, king, royal, and emperor grades!
The higher the grade of the cultivation method, the stronger one’s Celestial Origin Energy would be. Moreover, the higher the grade of the cultivation method, the faster one’s cultivation speed would be. With a fast cultivation speed, it would not take long for one to break through and become a Celestial Duke, a Celestial King, a Celestial Lord, and a Celestial Emperor. Naturally, it had to depend on one’s talent as well. If one were untalented, one would not be able to become a Celestial Duke even if one possessed a high-grade cultivation method. On the other hand, if one were talented, one would be able to become a Celestial Duke, a Celestial King, a Celestial Lord, and a Celestial Emperor even if one only cultivated a heaven-grade cultivation method. Most importantly, in comparison to duke-grade cultivation methods, king-grade cultivation methods were extremely rare.
