Chapter 297: Star Tower, Fire (1/2)

Jiang Li only roughly recovered after a long time.

In fact, he had only been affected by the residue of the Nine-Tailed Fox's charm for a few seconds. However, the feeling of his mind being bewitched still made him break out in a cold sweat.

If the dragon blood and blood of madness in his body could not awaken his consciousness, he could only rely on his other parallel minds to think of a way to awaken himself.

He did not expect that his clone would not cause any trouble when he entered the underground palace of Fengdu City. He had only come here to explore the Fox Immortal Queen's Tomb and had almost fallen for it.

If he was really charmed by this stone statue for 200 years, he would probably be too ashamed to go out and see people in the future.

After mentally preparing himself, he raised his head again and checked the stone statue.

The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox's charming aura was still present. He could still be bewitched at any time.

However, after obtaining the passive skill ”Iron Will”, even if the foxy residue invaded again, he could still maintain consciousness for a period of time.

In theory, this was a passive skill that he could only obtain after being in a charmed environment for 200 years. Although the name sounded ordinary, ordinary straight men could not compare to him in terms of mental strength now.

As long as he removed the negative status in time while awake, the problem would not be much.

However, this Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox was really powerful. It was indeed worthy of being a top-notch prehistoric variant.

Logically speaking, it had already been killed long before the Cultivationless Age, and it had experienced the baptism of countless years and the ruthless destruction of its spiritual qi. Up until now, only a little residue remained, and it was actually able to directly cause Jiang Li to be struck without him noticing.

If not for his cheat, he might have already died here.

The immortals and gods of the ancient times were far stronger than the imaginative limit of this era. If they could still live until today, any immortal would probably be able to easily overturn the current cultivation world of the Nine Provinces.

Jiang Li had been paying attention to his interface status, ready to eliminate the influence of the fox demon at any time.

Only then did he slowly approach the stone statue and carefully inspect it. With the charming aura, he discovered that there was a circle of cracks around the entire neck of the stone statue. It looked as if it had been cut off and placed there.

The ancient immortals and their statues had an inexplicable connection. In the end, Daji was beheaded by the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber and died.

If the owner's head could not be connected, the neck of the stone statue would naturally be the same.

Unfortunately, once Nine Tails died, the Green Mountain lineage withered away. Now, besides the two or three large foxes he saw earlier, he did not know if any other branches had survived.

There was a coffin behind the statue. After carefully opening it, it was empty.

The corpse of the Nine-Tailed Fox was not here.

Inside was a heart that had already turned to stone.

He threw the appraisal skill.

[Name: Unknown Heart Fossil]

[Type: Trash]

[Formation: Mining Erosion]

[Elementary Element: Unknown]

[Secondary Element: Unknown]

[Description: Can be embedded in a specific grove.]

That stone heart was very similar to a human's, but also slightly different from a normal heart.

Ordinary people's hearts had two atria and two ventricles. To put it bluntly, they had four orifices.

Judging from the appearance of this stone heart, it clearly had three atria, three ventricles, and an unknown aperture in the center.

This heart might have come from some large beast of heaven and earth, or one with multiple limbs. The heart might need to provide more precise and powerful blood circulation. It was very normal for the heart to grow differently from humans.

However, seeing a heart with seven orifices that was hidden in Daji's tomb, Jiang Li could not help but to recall another myth.

Was this the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart?

Legend had it that the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart could communicate with everything in the world and destroy all illusions. Eating this heart could even heal all injuries.

What level was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's illusion technique at? After tens of thousands of years, even a little residue could knock down Jiang Li who had multiple mental resistance.

At its peak, even the Golden Immortals of the two sects would not dare to say that they could firmly withstand it.

However, relying on the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart it was easier to break through the illusion technique than relying on a mortal's body. Its effects were even greater than divine abilities.

Unfortunately, this heart had already turned to stone. He did not know if it was still useful.

Jiang Li reached out and picked up the Seven Orifices Stone Heart, pouring spiritual qi into it as an attempt.

In the end, he discovered that the structure of the seven orifices inside the stone heart seemed to be very special. When spiritual qi poured into it, it was as if it had walked into a maze. It circled around the seven orifices of the stone heart, but it could only enter and not leave.

Just this seven orifices structure was very useful to an array master.

Under normal circumstances, he should bring it home and study it slowly.

However, in the description of appraisal, the heart seemed to be able to embed itself in some groove, so where should it be placed?

Jiang Li turned around and looked at the stone statue of Daji.

Jiang Li suddenly thought of something, and he called two ghost fox demons forward to move the beautiful head away.

”Forgive me, Queen Mother Fox Immortal.”

After the two fox demons ate the Nine Nether Earth Fruit, Jiang Li had already become their only master.

With their master's orders, they even dared to go and remove the head of the Nine-Tailed Goddess statue that was revered as their deity.

Jiang Li went forward to take a look. The stone statue was indeed empty.

The stone heart from before was placed into the hole on his neck and filled perfectly.

After taking back the stone statue's head and putting it on, a magical scene occurred. The gap between the completely broken stone statue actually seemed to have a life of its own. It healed before Jiang Li's eyes and became a complete body.

The healing ability of this Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart was a little too powerful. It could even reattach the stone statue's head.

If it was fresh, just a piece of meat might really be able to save a True Immortal.

Before Jiang Li could sigh with emotion, right when the crack on the stone statue's neck had completely vanished, a golden light shot out from between its brows. He did not have the time to react before he was immediately enveloped by the golden light, and in the next moment, he had already vanished on the spot.

Jiang Li felt weightlessness and pressure. It was as if he had been thrown into a turbo-fueled aircraft engine. Then, a moment later, golden light enveloped his vision. He and the sword cultivator clone were thrown onto a lake that was as calm as a mirror.

Jiang Li's head was a little dizzy as he lay on the surface of the lake. His body did not sink, and the dizziness from the sudden teleportation disappeared. The dream-like scene before his eyes gradually became clear.

Above was a resplendent river of stars, and below was a river of stars reflected in the mirror lake.

In this space, it was as if he was in the universe, surrounded by endless stars. It was beautiful and breathtaking.

Cultivating a star-type cultivation method here would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort. If he interacted with female cultivators here, he would definitely obtain an astonishing effect.

Unfortunately… under such circumstances, only Jiang Li and his sword cultivator clone were staring at each other.

He had nothing to say to himself.

The clone handed the golden light that he had caught in the underground palace to the main body.

Then, he brought the carefree grass and the Soul Dissolution Liquor into the coffin.

He could not wait to plant the carefree grass. With this spiritual grass, his Yin Burial Space would become even more netherworld than the netherworld.

Fortunately, he had his clone keep a few carefree plants in advance. The battle between the Ghost Kings was really too terrifying.
