Chapter 525: Chapter 525

Lu Erxi slapped him angrily, "How can you be so stupid?

I’ve told you countless times, that’s a Demon Beast! Not a giant eagle! Say such foolish things again and I’ll pull out your tongue!"

"What Demon Beast, what Demon Cultivator, I didn’t understand what Grandpa Fox Immortal was telling us..." Lu Shaojie mumbled softly, biting on a hawthorn berry.

"You fool!" Lu Erxi’s eye twitched a little; he hadn’t fully understood the flowery and vague messages either.

But in front of his son, he, the dignified father and Sect Leader of Fox Immortal Sect, couldn’t afford to seem ignorant.

Thus, he coughed twice and huffed, "How can you not get this? It’s simple! Those who can talk are Demon Cultivators; if it looks , clearly not human and can’t speak, then it’s a Demon Beast!

To put it plainly, Demon Cultivators, like us, can cultivate, while Demon Beasts are like ordinary people who raise livestock and domestic animals, which can only be raised by us cultivators.

It’s just a big-headed one, a bit fierce-looking, but basically, it’s the same thing, just a mighty eagle. How do you tame an eagle? You have to endure!"

Eagle Fifty-Third rolled his eyes.

But he had to continue pretending to be clueless to find a chance to escape; after all, these two don’t seem very smart, yet their methods are indeed strange, using force definitely wouldn’t work.

After leaving his secluded little place, he realized the world is vast and full of peculiar things.

Just like these two, they neither sat in meditation for cultivation nor understood the basics of cultivators, yet there was spiritual power fluctuating around them.

Especially this so-called Young Sect Leader, his aura was formidable; by his own perception, it was even slightly higher than the Great King!

Thinking back on how he, as an Ice-winged Eagle, started cultivation from the moment he received his legacy, yet had not succeeded in Foundation Establishment even now, Eagle Fifty-Third deeply regretted that his king went through all sorts of trouble for that Foundation Establishment Pill.

Eagle Twenty-One, that traitor white-eyed wolf!

The more Eagle Fifty-Third thought, the angrier he got, frustrated with himself for being so unpromising and having cultivation too low, not even able to match that foolish kid, irate, wanting to break free but could only clatter the chains.

"See that? Beast is beast, you have to endure patiently to make it know who’s boss! When we’ve made the eagle obedient, we’ll ride it to Celestial Sword Sect!" Lu Erxi chuckled, looking at the helpless giant eagle, feeling rather pleased.

"By the way, why did Celestial Sword Sect send that notice? What kind of conference are we attending?" Lu Shaojie finished a string of candied hawthorn, tossed away the bamboo skewer and took out a bag of preserved fruits from his pocket, munching constantly.

Speaking of the upcoming grand event, Lu Erxi became even more proudly, fiddling with the chain locking Eagle Fifty-Third, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear, "This time Celestial Sword Sect is widely sending invitations, promoting and inviting cultivators to join the Immortal Ascension Conference, our Fox Immortal Sect also being quite the existence, hence they came inviting us first."

Immortal Ascension Conference?

Having his mind full of food, Lu Shaojie showed a proud smile, "So it’s just a meal invitation, I heard Celestial Sword Sect is on top of a big mountain, way better than our poor hills, surely with plenty of delicious food!"

"Smack!" Lu Erxi slapped him again, "Fool! What do you know besides eating? Didn’t you hear Scholar Liu reading the letter?

They said in Wilderness World, there’s some Cultivator Alliance, all the cultivators on that ground that fell at night are in one league, us on this ground, cultivators should be one too, to help each other!

In short, we need to group together to avoid being bullied by Demon Cultivators!

Hence, also a need to organize some kind of alliance. Celestial Sword Sect is amazing, they said before when Immortals hadn’t ascended, they were already very powerful, later without spiritual energy they weren’t, now with spiritual energy again, they’re back on! The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel⁂fire.net

However, they think they’re amazing, other sects and family clans also think they’re great, hence no one obeys anyone, so they set up an Immortal Ascension Conference to compare. Son, if our Fox Immortal Sect can shine and grab an officer position in the league, it’ll depend on you!"

After this pile, Lu Shaojie finally understood and nodded, "It’s not a meal invitation, it’s for us to fight? Well, that’s alright, but I have to eat and drink well, tonight I want to eat beef, mutton and also dumplings with a meatball..."

"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!"

"Grandpa Fox Immortal said, only if I eat well and grow plump can I improve my cultivation! You want me to fight yet don’t let me have a full meal?"

"Fine, fine, fine, let you eat! Hurry up, it’s time for the offering, good cultivation is stronger than anything..."

The father and son chatted as they headed to the front courtyard, Eagle Fifty-Third furrowed his brows thinking probably humans cultivators want to copy and set up a Cultivator Alliance; should he pretend to submit and follow them? Will there be a chance to escape?

In the front courtyard were gathered over fifty sect members, from the attire looked to have scholars wearing long gowns, errand runners, merchants, farmers who planted crops, and even a few richly dressed wealthy merchants.

Outside the Fox Immortal Sect, carriages and palanquins isolated sect members’ identities, but once inside the gate, everyone was the same.

They knelt on brand-new lotus cushions, held incense in their hands, praying devoutly towards the "Divine Hall", inserting incense into the larger incense burner, then returning to their seats to sit cross-legged waiting patiently.

The expansive courtyard had not even a cough, only the thick rough scent of incense lingering.

Due to Fox Immortal Sect’s hasty establishment, both the "Divine Hall" for offerings to the Fox Immortal and the sect leader’s residence seemed rough, yet to the newly wealthy Lu Erxi, were extremely satisfactory.

He, taking his son, entered from the back door of the Divine Hall, watching the devout sect members outside, feeling increasingly pleased.

"Grandpa Fox Immortal, thanks to your blessings!" Lu Erxi offered an incense stick, then stood at the altar at the door and said aloud, "Outside, each has his or her own identity, in Fox Immortal Sect, you are brothers and sisters, no distinction of high or low, noble or humble!

Grandpa Fox Immortal said, those who constantly demand money or food, are all Evil Gods! True Immortals don’t need things from common people, instead, they grant blessings, visible and tangible blessings!

Those who claim to have some inheritance from sects or families, hoarding secret technique manuals for cultivation without letting others see, are all heretical cults! True Divine Skills don’t require cultivation, Grandpa Fox Immortal will directly grant believers!"

Having memorized the words for days, finally conveyed Grandpa Fox Immortal’s message clearly, Lu Erxi cleared his throat and continued, "Evil Gods and heretical cults are too rampant, and those neither human nor beast monsters are running wild, Grandpa Fox Immortal said this is the hardship of the end-law era.

Hence he manifested, commanded me to establish Fox Immortal Sect, not only not collecting money or food but also teaching Divine Skills, can heal diseases, strengthen the body, and even let sect members master Divine Skills.

In the future sect members can move mountains and fill seas, slay demons and exorcise devils, returning sunny skies to us humans! Those who accomplish great feats can ascend as Immortals!"

"Thank Grandpa Fox Immortal for your grace, thank Sect Leader for your generosity!"

All disciples bowed in gratitude, then waited for the ceremony to begin.

Lu Erxi took his son to the spot inside the Divine Hall closest to the "Divine Statue", hosting the ceremony according to the blessing steps taught by Grandpa Fox Immortal, then said aloud, "We respectfully invite Grandpa Fox Immortal to grant Divine Skills!"

As soon as he finished speaking, from the uneven, pitch-black "Divine Statue" emitted a faint green light enveloping everyone.

Feeling the infusion of divine power, Lu Shaojie’s eyes suddenly turned emerald green as if glass, the light waves flowing.

The green light vanished instantly, he blinked and seemed to see something within the divine light, joyfully shouted, "I saw it! That’s the Celestial Court! Immortal energy like thick fog, hehe... beautiful houses, pavilions, and even fairies! The fairies were dancing and smiling at me..."
