Chapter 265: Hu Yue Breakthrough
"You're not wrong about that." Hu Lili replied to Zefyr as she nodded in agreement. "However, since you and the other natural races aren't beasts like me, you don't have accurate information about the ten-tailed fox. Indeed, he is the ancestor of the fox races, but not in a literal sense, as he was born out of the hopes of the fox races."
"Oh?" Zhang Fei and Zefyr were even more shocked to hear that the fox races could give birth to a new individual because of their hopes.
Hu Lili smiled as she observed their expressions and proceeded with her explanation. "All fox races have always lived oppressed lives in the past, so they hoped for a savior who could save them and bring them a better life, and the birth of the ten-tailed fox fulfilled their hopes.
Since then, the lives of the fox races have undergone significant changes, particularly due to the emergence of the ten-tailed fox as a powerful mythical beast. After that, he challenged all the beasts, including the mythical ones who were as strong as him, in an effort to free the fox races from oppression.
Once the fox races had achieved tranquility, he decided to sequester himself from the public in a secluded realm inhabited only by natural species. However, I don't have any further information about him beyond that point, and your grandfather's story likely continues after he isolated himself in that realm."
"That realm's name was the Heaven Wilderness Realm, but it has now changed to the Sky Jade Realm."
Unlike Hu Yue, who looked surprised to hear Zefyr's words, Hu Lili was not surprised by her words at all. "The first time our moon fox race ancestors moved to this realm, the ten-tailed fox no longer existed because he had split himself into the two heavenly foxes, and they had also left this realm."
"Yes." Zefyr nodded in agreement with Hu Lili, especially since she herself also knew about the early arrival of the moon fox race in the Sky Jade Realm, based on her grandfather's story.
Your journey continues at m v|l-e'm,p| y- r
Zhang Fei let out a soft sigh before speaking to them. "Currently, those heavenly foxes reside in a realm called Heavenly Moon Realm, and I know how to get there. However, I wouldn't be so bold as to venture there, as they belong to the same race as me, and their strength surpasses mine, rendering my bloodline useless against them."
"You really shouldn't go there now." Hu Lili replied with a nod. "Just like you, the heavenly foxes are very arrogant and cunning, and they may recognize your identity as a demon, especially since both of their ancestors have already reached nine-tailed. If that happens, then they will hunt you down, and you won't be able to do anything."
"That's why I haven't thought about going to that realm, as I'm fully aware of my strength and limit, so I thought about going there once I reach nine-tailed like their ancestors." Zhang Fei then looked at Hu Yue and rubbed her cheek. "I know it's hard to reach nine-tailed, but I will never give up, and I will try harder to achieve it.
Only then can I protect you and my other wives; I will kill anyone who has malicious intentions towards you all."
Hu Yue smiled and pressed Zhang Fei's hand to her cheek. "Don't worry, I'm sure you can achieve it. Not only will you reach the nine-tailed, but you will also reach the ten-tailed, especially since you are the man inscribed on the stone monument."
"Since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down, Yue'er." Zhang Fei then kissed Hu Yue's lips, which she immediately reciprocated, and they kissed for a while. "Honestly, I want to take you to my training space, especially since all of the features there will be useful to you.
Unfortunately, Hu Gao will find out if you disappear now, and it will cause trouble for your mother, so I will take you there in the future. For now, you can swallow the pills, and you will break through directly to the sovereign realm, so you will be one step ahead of Hu Dong."
"All right." Hu Yue replied with a sweet smile on her face.
"I know you still want to be with my daughter, but you all have to leave now." Zhang Fei quickly turned to Hu Lili, who promptly informed him of the situation. "In a moment, Hu Gao's people will patrol this area, and some of them have sensor abilities that may be able to detect your presence even if you are using your invisibility.
That's why it would be better for you guys to leave now, and I hope you don't come back here before you reach the sovereign realm."
Zhang Fei nodded in agreement with Hu Lili, and he kissed Hu Yue once more before returning to the training space. Meanwhile, his clone attempted to save the location, but was disappointed by the resulting notification.
[Ding]
[Unable to save the location due to too many restrictions.]
Zhang Fei [1] let out a heavy sigh and tried to use his warp portal to return to the southern region. When it actually opened, he immediately brought Zefyr into it, leaving the fox's mother and daughter behind.
"Yue'er, I know you still want to be with Zhang Fei, but you just need to focus on your cultivation and wait for him to come here again, and I'm sure that he will take you away on his second coming." Hu Lili then took off her clothes again and sat down cross-legged. "Let's do it; you can swallow those pills first, and I'll assist you with my qi."
"Yes, Mother." Hu Yue immediately sat cross-legged in front of her mother, and Hu Lili directly pressed her palms against her chest, so she swallowed those pills one by one according to Zhang Fei's instructions.
Soon, a pink aura began to envelop Hu Yue's body, and Hu Lili immediately channeled her qi into her body, causing her aura to gradually become brighter and stronger, especially after she swallowed all the pills.
One hour.
two hours.
Three hours later, Hu Yue's body unleashed a massive shockwave that nearly knocked back Hu Lili, who was sitting in front of her, but she quickly stabilized herself. 'This is good; Yue'er just needs to get past her final barrier.'
A few moments later, Hu Yue floated in midair, and the pink aura that enveloped her body was already extremely bright. Despite this, Hu Lili could see five fox tails dancing behind her daughter's hips. 'She has finally broken through to the sovereign realm.'
"Phew." Hu Yue sighed with relief as she sat back cross-legged on the ground, opened her eyes, and said so happily. "This is really amazing, mother! I never thought that Zhang Fei had such potent pills; otherwise, I would still need some time before I could break through to this stage."
"All right, you should stabilize your cultivation now, and I will swallow those pills." Hu Yue nodded in agreement and closed her eyes once more to stabilize her cultivation, while Hu Lili immediately glanced at the pills in her hands, muttering. '2-Star sovereign realm, huh? If I reach that stage, I only need one more to match Hu Gao.
Unfortunately, most of our race members are on his side, and I won't be able to fight them alone, so I'll wait for Zhang Fei to reach this stage.'
After that, Hu Lili closed her eyes and swallowed the pills in order, but she did not break through to the 2-Star sovereign realm straight away, especially since her cultivation was still far from the wall to that stage. Despite this, the effects of those pills, particularly the beast pill, allowed her to cultivate at a faster pace, which satisfied her greatly.

Yi Na is in the dining room with her daughter, Chu Xing, and the Hai Twins. However, she seemed unfocused and ate very slowly, especially since her mind was still filled with her affair with Zhang Fei, which made her feel very guilty.
As for Wei Jiang, he was still sleeping soundly in the room, especially since Yi Na had given him too many sleeping pills earlier.
"What's wrong with you, Mother? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wei Luan's questions brought Yi Na back to her senses, and she immediately shook her head at her daughter. "I wasn't sick; I was just thinking about things, so don't worry."
"Oh." Wei Luan just nodded and didn't ask any further, especially since she knew her mother's character very well, and she never liked it when people meddled in her affairs.
Unlike her, Chu Xing felt strange about Yi Na's attitude, especially when she noticed the Hai Twins' glances at her. 'Could it be that my brother-in-law has done something to Aunt Yi? Moreover, she's been acting strangely since yesterday in the restaurant, and he's also a lust demon, so I suspect they might have slept together.'
The Hai Twins did not comment on Yi Na's situation, especially since it was none of their business, and they were fully aware that she was already having an affair with Zhang Fei.
Hai Dongxin then spoke to Yi Na. "After this, we'll bring Luan'er and Xing'er back to our sect to prepare for our internal competition, which we hope one of them will win."
"All right." Yi Na nodded, then turned to her daughter. "You have been training specifically for that competition for so long, so you must try your best to win it, okay?"
"Yes, mother."
After they all finished eating, the Hai Twins immediately took the two young girls to leave the Wei Clan. However, Hai Dongyin felt that there was something strange about Chu Xing's movements, so he immediately asked him. "Xing'er, where did Zhang Fei take you yesterday? Did he take you through that portal?"
Since Wei Luan and the Hai Twins had previously seen the portal in the forest, Chu Xing did not hide it from them. "You are right, Elder Dongyin. Behind that place is my brother-in-law's special training ground, and there are many intriguing things inside that are beneficial to my training.
However, I cannot explain it in detail to the three of you, especially since he and the others have forbidden me from telling anyone about that place. Honestly, I still wanted to train there, especially since I still couldn't adapt perfectly, but I didn't want to miss the competition, so I decided to come back. If you are curious about my training there, I will show you the results from yesterday."
After that, Chu Xing used her movement technique, giving the impression that she was dancing. Her movements were much more agile than before she trained in the training space, leaving the three women stunned.
"Hehe." Chu Xing laughed when she returned to them. "What do you three think?"
Hai Dongxin nodded slightly before answering her. "Although your improvement may not be significant, I can observe that your speed has increased, and your movements have become more fluid and nimble. Therefore, I think that Zhang Fei has something related to speed; otherwise, you wouldn't be able to improve like this in just a day of training."
"Haha." Chu Xing laughed upon hearing that. "You're not wrong about that, Elder Dongxin. Actually, there were still some things I did there yesterday, but I can't explain them in detail, and I'll show my other improvements when the competition starts."
"All right, I'll be waiting for your surprise at the competition." The Hai Twins said it at the same time.
After that, the four of them broke their returning jade, and they immediately disappeared from the city.

After he returned to the southern region, Zhang Fei [1] immediately used the Nine Cloud Steps to go to his first mission location, but he frowned as soon as he arrived there, especially after he listened to Yan Luan'er's voice transmission. 'Why did Shen Haoran send his loyalists to kill me? Ten beast cultivators in the earth realm, huh? Since they want to kill me, then I will kill them all.
As for that old man, I will do something about him after I return from my wanderings.'
"So, we'll start our journey from here, Fei?" Zefyr asked him.
"Yes." Zhang Fei [1] replied with a nod. "At first, I want to finish the mission in this area as quickly as possible, and we'll go to the second location. Unfortunately, some people want to kill me, and their journey to this area will take two days, so we'll wait while I finish my first mission."
Zefyr shook her head after hearing that. "Humans are idiots! They always think of killing other living beings!"
