After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 157

Suddenly, more memories began to surface in Mu Kui’s mind.

He saw Jiang Chen intending to give medicinal pills but being accused of peeping due to various coincidences.

As a result, Jiang Chen’s Core Formation was crippled.

He saw that Jiang Chen actually had a good relationship with Qingning, but due to Lin Mubai and other coincidental accidents, they ended up as strangers.

He saw Jiang Chen’s care for Lin Mubai, traveling together and experiencing the world’s splendor.

He also saw Jiang Chen’s concern for himself.

After Mu Kui became a Core Formation cultivator, his progress was rapid.

In just a few years, he reached the Human Origin stage, and the Core Formation formed by his Blood Qi became increasingly red and volatile, which also gradually changed his personality.

From initially being simple and honest, he became aggressive and irritable.

The higher the realm, the more one is influenced by the will to fight.

Thus, coupled with the influence of the Martial Emperor’s memories, Mu Kui’s temperament changed drastically.

Everyone was helpless in the face of this transformation.

Although the same person, Mu Kui and the Martial Emperor had two different personalities.

Because his past life’s memories were sealed, Mu Kui in this life always had goodwill towards the people around him.

Every time he woke from his anger and saw his fellow disciples injured by his own hand, Mu Kui was panic-stricken and mired in self-blame.

At this point, Mu Kui began to realize something was wrong with himself.

Feeling that his cultivation was about to break through again and become more uncontrollable, he requested the Hall of Enforcement to lock him up in the sect’s prison.

With his cultivation sealed, he was subjected to soul-crushing sword formations, hunted by demonic beasts, and attacked by talismans every day in the prison.

During this time, the seal of the Martial Emperor was repeatedly broken, and each time it was broken, the disciples of the Jiuyan Sect could hear the angry and painful howls from the prison.

Mu Kui was locked up in the sect’s prison for two full years.

Over the two years, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Although he avoided harming others, his inability to release his fighting spirit and his pent-up emotions eventually made Mu Kui’s cultivation stagnate and regress, and the Core Formation formed by his Blood Wi showed signs of shattering!

By that time, Lin Feng had joined the sect.

The emergence of the ‘Son of Destiny’ made Jiang Chen’s ‘misdeeds’ seem more numerous and more frequently misunderstood.

In terms of the harm to body and mind, Jiang Chen was definitely much stronger than Mu Kui.

Even so, Jiang Chen still carried out his duties as the Eldest Senior Brother.

Jiang Chen knew that Mu Kui’s current state was due to the conflict between his own personality and that of the Martial Emperor and that his special physique, the Martial Emperor Physique, had to survive through battles.

The memories sealed within the Martial Emperor were not something he could shake.

Therefore, the only way to solve this was to start with Mu Kui’s physique.

Changing one’s physique was naturally something Jiang Chen couldn’t do.

However, he could find a way to stabilize Mu Kui’s Dao Heart, allowing him to face battles without fear and without losing his sanity in the fight.

In this way, Mu Kui’s Dao Heart could be stabilized.

There were many heavenly and earthly treasures that could help stabilize the Dao Heart, but only one could work on the Martial Emperor Physique.

That was the Dao Root of the Enlightenment Tree!

The Enlightenment Tree is an extremely rare heavenly and earthly treasure, often appearing in the Upper Domain.

The Enlightenment Trees in the Upper Domain were mostly of the eighth grade and above, capable of producing Dao Enlightenment Leaves and Enlightenment Fruit of the same grade.

Few people knew that there was actually an Enlightenment Tree in the Central Domain as well.

That Enlightenment Tree was of the seventh grade, located in the deepest part of the Hengduan Mountain Range, where demon kings of the beast realm would enlighten themselves under the tree every day.

Qingning had been there and obtained a seventh-grade Enlightenment Fruit, which greatly improved her talents.

If it weren’t for her great destiny, she would have died under the pursuit of demon kings.

A single Enlightenment Fruit had led to her being hunted by countless demon kings, and she dared not enter the Hengduan Mountain Range again for the rest of her life.

However, Jiang Chen’s goal was to dig up the tree’s roots.

The difficulty and danger of this task were unimaginable!

At that time, Jiang Chen was only at the Heavenly Origin level of cultivation, and he was no match for even one or two demon kings, let alone countless ones.

Helplessly, Jiang Chen went against Xiao Hongyi’s orders for the first time and mobilized the power of the Jiang family.

The elder Chen Sheng and ten other upper domain cultivators from the Jiang family escorted Jiang Chen deep into the Hengduan Mountain Range.

Chen Sheng is at the Divine Passage Realm of the upper four realms, and there are very few cultivators in the Central Domain who can defeat him.

The group defeated many demon kings and arrived at their destination smoothly, but just as Jiang Chen was about to dig up the roots…

An old woman in light blue clothes, with an aged face and faint blue flames between her brows, appeared.

She was hunched over and had six tails.

“A six-tailed Mystic Fox?!” Chen Sheng was immediately on high alert upon seeing the old woman.

“You know me?” the old woman asked in return.

The Mystic Fox clan had survived since ancient times.

The purest bloodline of the Mystic Foxes, known as the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox, could grow up to nine tails, and the next in line was the Six-tailed Mystic Fox.

The realm of the demon kings in the beast realm was a major realm, similar to the upper four realms of humans, which was further divided into several smaller realms.

The demon kings were specifically divided into: Penetrating Comprehension, Awakening Enlightenment, Spirit Control, and Shape Transformation.

Their combat power corresponds respectively to the Initial Insight, Fate Transformation, Divine Passage, and Nirvana stages of the upper four realms cultivators.

A Penetrating Comprehension stage demon king could speak human language.

In the Awakening Enlightenment stage, they could practice human cultivation techniques and gain enlightenment from heaven and earth.

A Spirit Control stage demon king could manipulate the spirits of heaven and earth, transforming them into divine powers, while the Shape Transformation stage could transform into human form.

The Mystic Fox clan was a bit special. At a certain realm, the number of fox tails would increase.

As far as Chen Sheng knew, when a Mystic Fox advanced to the demon king stage, it would grow four tails, and upon reaching Spirit Control and Shape Transformation stages, it would grow the fifth and sixth tails respectively.

The old woman in front of them had six tails and was at the Shape Transformation stage of the demon king, which meant her strength was equivalent to the Nirvana realm of the upper four realms of human cultivators.

Judging by her aged appearance, this old woman had been in the Shape Transformation stage for at least a hundred years!

Her combat power was even far beyond that of ordinary human cultivators in the Nirvana realm!

“Old fox, you are indeed very strong, but you are already exuding the aura of death, and your life is not long! If you fight with us, you will fall within a few years!” Chen Sheng warned with a stern face.

“Oh, is that so?” the old woman asked back with a hoarse voice.

“Hand over this Enlightenment Tree to us, and you can continue to cling to life here in Hengduan. Otherwise, if even one of us is harmed today, the Jiang Family’s Purple Cavalry will descend and slaughter your Mystic Fox clan tomorrow!”

“Jiang Family? Never heard of it. I’ve been trapped here for a thousand years, unable to leave even a step.”

The old woman shook her head and said, “Moreover, there are only two members left in the Mystic Fox clan now. One is me, and the other…”

As she spoke, the old woman looked up at the Enlightenment Tree.

On that lush Enlightenment Tree, there lay a three-tailed white fox with condensed flames of dark orchid between its brows.

The three-tailed white fox was curled up, lying on a thick branch, its fox eyes closed as if in a deep sleep.

If observed closely, it could be seen that the essence of the Enlightenment Tree was all converging towards the three-tailed white fox, being continuously absorbed into its body!

“Nine Heavens Mystic Fox!!” Chen Sheng exclaimed once again, in disbelief.

“You’re using the Enlightenment Tree to nurture your clan member? No wonder this Enlightenment Tree has been unable to advance to the eighth grade, it’s because your Mystic Fox clan has taken the natural creation of heaven and earth!”

The exclamation was so loud that it caused the three-tailed white fox to frown.

Seeing this, the old woman’s eyes turned cold, and she spat out two words.

“Silence!”

With these words, the world fell into a deathly silence!

Although birds still flew across the sky and other demon kings whispered nearby, everything fell into an eerie silence.

It was as if the whole world had been cast with a silent spell; even the sound of the wind disappeared.

“The three tails are the most unstable time for my Mystic Fox clan. My granddaughter wakes up and runs around, then forgets where she came from and forgets to return home. Since I cannot leave this place, it’s really a headache, so…”

At this point, the old woman paused, her old eyes narrowing slightly and said,

“So I don’t have time to waste words with you. either leave or die.”
