[The Fox Tribe's Gift]
Deep within the valley, amidst blooming mountain flowers and swirling mist, a solemn and mysterious ritual was quietly taking place before the altar of the Spirit Fox Tribe.
“This is the ‘Rite of Return to Origin’ of our Spirit Fox Tribe. Only the closest bloodline descendants and benefactors are qualified to participate,” Ling Shuang led Lin Ye into the altar, her voice gentle yet filled with reverence.
Lin Ye originally intended to decline, but was gently interrupted by Ling Shuang: “You not only saved our clansmen, but also, with your own strength, drove off the experts of Blackstone Hall and rescued Elder Wang. This debt of gratitude, we must repay.”
With a soft chant from Ling Shuang, an ancient light projection emerged at the center of the altar—a remnant scroll of secret techniques left behind by the ancestors of the Spirit Fox Tribe. The light projection cast itself before Lin Ye’s eyes, transforming into streams of glowing runes that poured directly into his consciousness.
Lin Ye only felt a booming sensation in his mind, followed by a cultivation concept entirely different from anything he had ever known—
It wasn’t the human practice of “Qi Condensation and Soul Refinement,” nor the dragon tribe’s “Bloodline Tempering,” but an ancient beastkin method centered on “sensing the earth’s spirit veins and uniting with beasts.”
[Demonic Power Application]
He returned to the training ground at the edge of the valley and began attempting to circulate his demonic power according to the method described in the fox tribe’s secret technique.
Unlike the brute-force methods he used in the past, this technique emphasized guidance and resonance—like walking within the wind, rather than sprinting through it.
The reverse-scale bloodline within his body seemed to be stimulated by some ancient fluctuation, gradually revealing deep blue patterns that spread along his meridians and demon core.
“Boom—”
A tremor echoed from the depths of his heart, and Lin Ye felt his demonic power becoming purer and more stable than ever before. The once uncontrollable and violent force now flowed smoothly within him like a gentle stream, without a hint of resistance.
Not only that, but when he closed his eyes, the flow of spiritual energy around him appeared vividly in his mind, as clear as a painting.
System notification: Skill ‘Demonic Power Perception’ has increased to Lv.4! Skill ‘Spiritual Energy Absorption’ has increased to Lv.3!
Lin Ye opened his eyes, a flash of barely restrained joy in them.
“This secret technique… it’s like it was made just for me.”
He had already possessed beastkin blood, but had never truly mastered how to “resonate with the heavens and earth.” Now, the ancient method of the Spirit Fox Tribe had opened a brand-new door to cultivation for him.
[Skill Advancement]
Through days and nights of rigorous training, Lin Ye gradually integrated the fox tribe’s secret method with his own Reverse Scale Body Refinement Technique, creating a unique cultivation method of his own—one that tempered his body while also enhancing his perception and energy control.
Especially in the area of “Demonic Power Perception,” he could now clearly sense the flow of spiritual energy within a hundred-zhang radius and could even distinguish the subtle differences between the aura of spirit beasts and humans.
As for “Spiritual Energy Absorption,” it allowed him to rapidly recover his demonic power in a short period of time, greatly enhancing his endurance in battle. He could even faintly sense a more advanced form of usage—transforming the blood essence spilled during combat into spiritual energy replenishment, forming a “growth-through-combat” loop mechanism.
When Ling Shuang learned of his progress, she looked at Lin Ye in astonishment. “You’re actually able to merge the secret technique into your bloodline… could it be that you’ve already begun to form a ‘Demonic Heart’?”
Lin Ye nodded, but showed no pride. “This is only the beginning. A sect like Tianyuan Sect… cannot be shaken by just one or two techniques.”
Ling Shuang fell silent for a moment, then softly said, “If you are willing, our Spirit Fox Tribe is ready to pave the way for you with the strength of our entire clan.”
