Nine fox tails swayed behind, weaving beautiful dreams for Emperor Xiaojing's illusory form.

The Way of Nine Desires, capable of turning the world upside down.

"Have you learned it?" Yuqing looked down at the little fox hiding in her arms.

The little fox was not big, wore glasses, and had tails like little puffs of cotton candy trembling slightly.

This was Zhang Ze's number-one book fan, Bai Tao.

When foxes grow their long tails, they turn into a beast form for a while, the duration of which can vary from one or two days to several years.

When Yuqing received the command from Lord Xiangxiang the White Emperor, Bai Tao was in her long tail phase, so she brought her along, hoping she could learn some family spells as well.

Don't spend the whole day just reading, eating strange things, or locking yourself in a dark room like some desperate chemist.

She feared that if this went on, the child would turn into a fluffy Fuji.

"Did you understand?"

YuQing pointed at the illusory form of Emperor Xiaojing, trapped in a dream and gradually losing power, and asked.

Bai Tao lifted her head from Yuqing's arms, adjusted her glasses with a little paw, then shook her head.

"I don't understand."

Yuqing, "..."

"You have to learn, my dear niece; the future of our Fox Race rests on your shoulders.

The path of Nine Desires, once fully mastered, can blur dreams and reality with just a thought, which is far superior to your herbal concoctions mixed with plain tea."

Yuqing held up Bai Tao's torso, stretching her out and gently shaking her.

"Blurring dreams and reality... you mean..." Bai Tao, now a stretched-out strip, pondered, and after a moment, her head suddenly spun 180 degrees, she asked.

"Does that mean I can make all my wishes come true?"

Yuqing hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Uh, more or less."

"Then I want to learn! By the time... hehehe, hehehe..."

Bai Tao suddenly laughed like a silly thug.

Understanding Bai Tao's thoughts, Yuqing sighed, lightly flicked her forehead, and said, "Overreliance on anything will only harm you, capabilities should be used on the Righteous Path."

Unfortunately, Bai Tao remained unrepentant, still laughing, thinking weird thoughts.

Yuqing, too lazy to persuade further, thought perhaps a bit of motivation could be good, she curled Bai Tao up again, holding her in her arms, and quietly continued watching Emperor Xiaojing's illusory form, silently going mad on the spot.

"I wonder how the gentleman's preparations are going. Oh, it would be nice if I could explore the sky as well."

...

Near the firmament.

Zhang Ze, transformed into an Innate Dao Body, was floating by the horizon, occasionally testing the bounds, and then swimming back like a frog.

Like an infant repeatedly doing single-arm rotations on the crib railing.

Shi Xiu was here too, and aided by the Acquired Dao Body, he also crossed the barrier of the sky.

Shi Xiu wasn't as playful as Zhang Ze; he just quietly stared dazedly at the different stretch of starry sky before him.

The stars twinkled, filling his vision.

After a while, Shi Xiu suddenly asked, "Is this sky we see really real?"

Zhang Ze shook his head, "I don't know.

However, I think as long as we keep going, we can eventually glimpse the ultimate truth.

If you cross one barrier of the sky, surely you can cross the second, and the third.

The path is endless, as is the legacy, and someone will reach the end."

Senior Brother looked at Zhang Ze for a long time in silence, then with a wry smile said, "Your argument makes sense, just take your time and study it."

Zhang Ze nodded, then sank back to the other side of the sky curtain.

Today is quite busy, besides solving Little Walnut's issue, he also needs to conduct several experiments and place a lock on the Four Continents.

This lock is not to prevent anything else, but only to guard against Emperor Xiaojing.

"It's about time, seniors, let's begin."

As soon as Zhang Ze finished speaking, two heads appeared on either side of him.

They were Master Konghai of the Buddhist Sect, and Old Sect Leader Li.
