The Eternal Sacrifice Technique.
It was a divine thod for communing with the gods—offering tribute in exchange for divine gifts.
Tu Shan Honghong studied the scripture carefully, afraid to miss even a single word.
Her little sister, Tu Shan Yaya, sat beside her hugging her knees. Watching her sister focus so intently, Yaya couldn’t help but smile.
"My sister really is the best."
Outside, the wind rustled the treetops, producing soft, sweet notes like a lullaby from nature itself.
Half an hour later.
Tu Shan Honghong opened her eyes, glanced at her sleeping sister, and murmured quietly:
"This must be fate. A god so benevolent... even if we must give sothing in return, it’s worth it."
She had sorted through the three most important elents of the ritual:
The altar. The sacrifice. The believers.
Among them, the altar and believers were the simplest.
Using jade as a foundation, and with the aid of spirit stones and sacred materials, an altar could be constructed in a day.
And as for believers? The entire Tu Shan Clan could be counted as such. All she had to do was speak a single command.
But the sacrifice...
That was the one part Tu Shan Honghong was unsure of.
"If it weren’t for my duty to the greater cause," she whispered, "I would’ve chosen to sacrifice myself..."
The golden-haired fox demon let out a soft sigh, gently picked up her sleeping sister, and returned to the house.
The next morning.
A royal summons went out from the Tu Shan Palace.
All fox demons across the mountains gathered at the foot of the cliff, looking up toward their monarch’s residence.
Even the youngest fox cubs ca, carried by their parents, in response to the decree of the Tu Shan Demon King.
Thousands of fox demons sat patiently, eyes turned upward.
Then—
A faint demonic wind stirred, and the sky above shimred with golden clouds.
Such a sight had never been seen before.
Suddenly, a massive golden celestial fox descended from the clouds.
Its tail—longer than its body—flowed behind it like a silken river.
One... two... ten tails.
Ten tails?!
The king has broken through!!
Excited murmurs spread across the crowd.
A Ten-Tailed Celestial Fox had never appeared in all of fox demon history.
With such power, their safety was more secure than ever before.
Bathed in golden radiance, Tu Shan Honghong stood atop the cliff. Her appearance was unchanged, but the aura she exuded was sacred and majestic—so divine that none dared to lift their gaze.
It was as though even looking at her directly would be a form of blasphemy.
Tu Shan Honghong opened her lips gently:
"From this day forward, the Tu Shan Clan shall be followers of the Eternal God. All fox demons must cultivate the Eternal ditation Technique upon awakening spiritual awareness."
"Worship the great God of Eternity."
"I, Tu Shan Honghong, along with my sister Tu Shan Yaya—will no longer act as rulers of Tu Shan. From this mont forward, we are Envoys of the Divine."
The crowd murmured in disbelief.
Why had their king suddenly devoted herself to a god?
Could it be...
Had she gained divine favor?
So of the sharper fox demons rembered yesterday’s thunderclouds and the flas that tore through them.
It didn’t take much to connect the dots.
At that mont, Tu Shan Yaya appeared beside her sister in a flowing gown, trying her best to look dignified.
She stepped forward and proclaid:
"Eternal ditation is a true divine technique. You don’t need to fear. Don’t be anxious, and certainly don’t resist."
Tu Shan Honghong lifted her hand and waved gracefully.
A stream of divine light descended, bathing the crowd of fox demons in its glow.
The knowledge of Eternal ditation was transferred directly into their minds.
Now, they could begin their cultivation.
Yaya turned to her sister and asked softly:
"Sister... Is that really enough?"
"Yes."
"But... we still haven’t offered a sacrifice yet!"
"As for the sacrifice," Tu Shan Honghong said calmly, "I’m going to use that."
She pointed toward the Giant Tree of Misery.
According to the sacrificial scripture, the most effective offerings were made from one’s most treasured possession.
Tu Shan Yaya’s eyes widened.
"But Sister! If we sacrifice the tree, doesn’t that an the Tu Shan Clan—!"
"I no longer need to be the Red Thread Fairy," Honghong said with a faint smile. "Humans and demons... soone must carry the weight of that wish. If peace can be achieved, I’m willing to give up everything."
"If you weren’t still too young, I would’ve offered myself instead."
At that mont, Tu Shan Honghong didn’t look like a queen.
She looked like a saint.
Even her gentle beauty radiated divine resolve.
For the first ti, Tu Shan Yaya truly understood the weight her sister carried.
Compared to her sister’s selflessness, her own worries and wants felt so small.
What she didn’t yet understand was that emotion-born power has limits.
Tu Shan Honghong had already seen this truth.
That’s why she made the bold choice:
To abandon the powers born from the Giant Tree of Misery—and embrace the path of the Eternal God.
The results spoke for themselves.
After just one night of ditation, her strength had increased again.
anwhile, profound changes began to ripple through the fox demon clan.
As the Eternal ditation Technique spread through their souls, one by one, fox demons transford into human form.
Though they appeared bare and vulnerable, their hearts overflowed with joy.
They had transcended.
ti passed...
All the fox demons with even slightly stronger demonic power had successfully gained physical bodies.
Even more astonishing—ninety-five percent of the fox demons could now speak in human tongue.
Tu Shan Yaya herself couldn’t help but gasp. This was power that could reshape the world.
"How many monsters exist across the world?" she thought. "If they all practice this ditation... then humanity’s advantages will vanish."
Tu Shan Honghong imdiately addressed the crowd of fox demons below with a stern voice:
"Just because you have new bodies doesn’t an you’re free to act without restraint. If I catch any demon hurting humans without reason—I’ll bite through your throats myself."
"We wouldn’t dare!"
A wave of fox demons dropped to their knees, their voices trembling with fear.
The joy of their recent transformation was instantly overshadowed by the presence of their powerful Demon King. No one dared test her resolve.
Tu Shan Honghong finally allowed herself to relax. Seeing the tribe’s transformation, she whispered to herself:
"So be it. No one will bla for sacrificing the Giant Tree of Misery. This tree may be the foundation of Tu Shan... but letting it go ans leaving behind the powers of the Red Thread Fairy."

Spirit of the Demon Sword: "Another day missing the little fox demon~ Oh la la la..."
Tanjiro: "Sa here... I miss her too."
Fox Who Only Loves Money: "Umm... Hello everyone. My na is Tu Shan Yaya..."
Li Er: "Brother! You finally surfaced from the trench! So? How’s the Eternal ditation Technique? Aweso, right?!"
Tu Shan Yaya: "Of course it’s amazing. My sister directly broke through the Nine-Tails stage and beca a Ten-Tailed Celestial Fox!"
Pursuer of Sentient Beings: "Little fox, do you understand now? The Eternal God does not discriminate between humans and demons. The mont you received the invitation, it ant you were chosen."
Spirit of the Demon Sword: "Little sister, from the way you speak, sounds like you’re pretty young~"
Tu Shan Yaya: "Hehe..."
Chu Dashan: "No need to be afraid now. As long as you stay devout, no one can hurt you."
Sad Old Gao: "Exactly. Have you ever seen a god so rciful? That bald guy over there cursed at the Eternal God early on—and he was still forgiven!"
Pursuer of Sentient Beings (Fahai): "Hey, stop bringing that up! I’ve already repented. Even sages make mistakes. I, Fahai, once went astray. But now I walk the righteous path."
Tu Shan Yaya: "@Pursuer of Sentient Beings, wait... did you really curse the Eternal God?!"
Fahai: "Ahem... I was young and foolish..."
Spirit of the Demon Sword: "Pfft—at your age, calling yourself young? You’re absolutely shaless!"
Back in the Fox Demon Realm, Tu Shan Yaya giggled as she scrolled through the group chat.
She hadn’t expected the group to be so... lively. These divine envoys weren’t as uptight as she thought. Even the Buddha made jokes. The Emperor liked to curse.
"They’re all... kind of interesting."
Li Er: "@Chu Dashan, hey, bro. Any progress on your end yet? Didn’t you say your power was terrifying? Haven’t attacked that mountain yet?"
Chu Dashan: "Don’t even ntion it. The world is suppressing —I can’t get in. My power’s sealed. I’m just standing here looking at the treasure mountain, unable to take a single step. So frustrating!"
Spirit of the Demon Sword: "Still stuck, huh?"
Chu Dashan: "Yeah, but I’ve changed my approach. I’m heading for Longhu Mountain, the Daoist Ancestral Grounds. This ti I’m certain I’ll break through!"
"Taishan is too big. The concentration of luck there makes a direct assault unwise. Retreating now is a better move."
Pursuer of Sentient Beings (Fahai): "Smart. You can also scout out Buddhist heritage sites. If you run into anything tricky about Dharma, you can ask !"
Junior Brother from Dazhu Peak: "Count in too."
Chu Dashan: "Thanks, everyone."
anwhile, in the World of the Cetery of Saints...
Chu Xuanfeng stood at the foot of Longhu Mountain, backed by hundreds of elite cultivators.
Among them were demons, martial masters... and a strange black loach.
The loach had once called itself a mber of the South Sea Dragon Clan. But after a beating, it didn’t even recognize its own mother anymore. Now it followed Chu Xuanfeng like a loyal dog.
"Boss, can we break through this ti?" asked the loach.
He had taken human form—a ten-year-old boy—but was already second only to Chu Xuanfeng in power.
After battling in the ditation Space recently, he even absorbed the genes of a Thunderhowl Beast, giving him the combined might of wind and thunder.
Even creatures from forbidden realms had reason to fear him.
Chu Xuanfeng narrowed his eyes and scoffed:
"A place like this? Before divine power, it’s nothing but paper!"
He leapt into the air, clenched his fist, and slamd it into the shimring barrier over Longhu Mountain.
Thunder raged. Light exploded.
But his fist cut through it all like a blade through silk.
BOOM!
The ancient protective formation—shattered!
At that mont, Chu Xuanfeng’s gaze pierced through the mountain... and he saw her.
A curvaceous, sacred figure—a woman—asleep in the heart of Longhu Mountain.
"What is that...? There’s soone inside Longhu Mountain?!"
