Chapter 111: Ten Directions Sealing Formation

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Ten Directions Sealing Formation

Inside the Cloud-Piercing Cave of Mount Ji Lei.

The Eternal Fox King sighed, "Actually, apart from a few surviving ancient Demon Clan powerhouses, there should be very few in the outside world who are aware of this stele’s existence.

So, some time ago, when Demon King Niu suddenly demanded this item from me, it truly took me by surprise and left me continuously uneasy."

Demon King Niu, puzzled, said, "Old Fox, on my visits, I haven’t seen you looking uneasy at all."

The Eternal Fox King scolded, "To say you understand human affairs but you’re really quite oblivious; must I wear my unease on my face?"

With Princess Jade Face present, Demon King Niu muttered a few words but didn’t flare up.

Sun Wukong then scratched his hand and said, "Old Fox, hurry and tell us, what secret does this stele actually hide?"

The Eternal Fox King nodded and solemnly said, "This starts from when the Witch and Demon Clans dominated the world, before the catastrophic war they waged. The ancestor witches Gonggong and Zhurong fought a great battle,

and in the end, Gonggong knocked down Mount Buzhou, located by the coast of the North Sea, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to sink."

The collapse of the sky created a huge hole in the heavens, and the sinking of the earth formed a massive abyss in the North Sea, from which the waters of the four seas endlessly gushed forth.

This later became known to all clans as the Eye of the North Sea."

Hearing this, both Sun Wukong and Demon King Niu were astonished. They of course had heard about Gonggong knocking into Mount Buzhou, but they hadn’t realized there were these hidden details.

The Eternal Fox King continued, "Everyone knows that Lady Nuwa mended the sky with stones, and cut off the legs of the divine turtle to prop up the heavens again, but few know that Lady Nuwa also sealed the abyss of the North Sea.

While the collapsed sky had stones to mend it, the sunken earth could only be sealed, which was ultimately unstable.

When the Witch and Demon war erupted again, the seal at the Eye of the North Sea was destroyed, causing the Ancient Heavenly Court to fall into it and block the Eye of the North Sea.

However, the Eye of the North Sea still leaked water afterward.

Lady Nuwa then brought out another sealing formation array called the Ten Directions Sealing Formation, entrusted it to the two heavenly emperors Donghuang Taiyi and Demon Emperor Di Jun of the Ancient Heavenly Court, and commanded them along with other divine demons to set up the formation and re-seal the Eye of the North Sea to atone for this great sin.

Finally, Lady Nuwa sealed this formation within a stele and entrusted it to my fox ancestors for safekeeping so that it wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands."

"Ten Directions Sealing Formation?" Sun Wukong’s bright eyes shifted, unsure of the level of this formation.

Of course, that wasn’t his most immediate concern as he asked again, "The fox clan is so weak, how could it bear such a responsibility?"

"Alas!" sighed the Eternal Fox King, not annoyed but merely helpless, "My fox clan was once glorious, one of the rare auspicious beasts of the Vast Wilderness, highly esteemed by Lady Nuwa.

At that time, Lady Nuwa used the bloodlines and souls of the four great nine-tailed celestial foxes from my clan to seal the Ten Directions Sealing Formation into the stele.

Since then, my fox clan has gradually declined.

Nowadays, not even a Golden Immortal can be seen."

Sun Wukong and Demon King Niu exchanged glances, both picking up on the key points in these statements.

Demon King Niu said, "Old Fox, as you mentioned, even if we currently have the stele, we still need the bloodlines and souls of the four great nine-tailed celestial foxes in order to access the Ten Directions Sealing Formation within it?"

The Eternal Fox King replied, "Exactly, which is why I had been continuously uneasy since I heard you demanding the stele, as it not only implies someone is plotting to open the seal of the Eye of the North Sea, but also that calamities may befall my fox clan."

Sun Wukong then scratched his face, puzzled and said, "Strange indeed, how could Lady Nuwa leave such a flaw?"

The Demon King and the Eternal Fox King did not know either, but the Saint must have had his reasons for this move, otherwise, he would not have overlooked the consequences of leaving the Sealing Formation Array behind.

Sun Wukong then asked, "Does Elder Fox know about the Cangyun Blood Spirit Stone of the Mangniu Clan?"

The complexion of the Eternal Fox King changed as he voiced his concern, "This item is indeed the key to setting up the formation. The words left by our fox ancestors mentioned that for the Ten Directions Sealing Formation, the Mangniu Clan’s lifeblood is necessary.

"Since you can speak of the Cangyun Blood Spirit Stone, it seems that indeed someone is plotting to open the Eye of the Northern Sea, which spells disaster!"

The Demon King then furrowed his brows and said, "If this item was left by my ancestors, why do I not know its uses?"

The Eternal Fox King said, "That is because your ancestor had already become part of the sacrificial ritual, and simply did not have the time to leave any words."

[Congratulations, you have completed the suggestion - Understand the use of the Cangyun Blood Spirit Stone and the Ancient Stele of the Fox Clan; completing this suggestion earns you a fourth-tier treasure chest.]

Hearing the prompt in his mind, Sun Wukong scratched his hand, and although there were still some doubts unresolved, he had at least figured out the plans of the Demon Sect.

Furthermore, he could also speculate that the reason why the Buddha Lu Ya from the Great Sun was willing to cooperate with the Demon Sect was probably because he wanted to search for the ancient Heavenly Court that fell into the Northern Sea once it was opened.

And perhaps the uses of the Cangyun Blood Spirit Stone and the Ancient Stele of the Fox Clan were disclosed to the Demon Sect by this prince of the Demon Clan.

With this speculation in mind, Sun Wukong then asked the Eternal Fox King to bring the stele so that he could take it back to the Heavenly Court as well.

The old fox, leaning on his cane, moved a two-foot square stone, placed at the entrance of the Cloud-Piercing Cave, inside.

The stone appeared ordinary, showing no signs of any mystery.

The Demon King was astonished, "Elder Fox, this is a divine object left by Lady Nuwa, such an important item, and you just leave it outside so casually?"

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Marvelous indeed, even if someone came to steal it, they would never imagine that the stone by the door is the ancient stele of the Fox Clan they are looking for."

The Eternal Fox King helplessly said, "Who would do this if they were strong enough?"

Sun Wukong nodded, suspecting that the Demon Sect might have already sent someone to secretly search for it. It was probably because they could not find it, and knowing the Eternal Fox King’s adamant nature of never giving up the stele, they facilitated the business between the Dragon King of All Saints and the Demon King through connections.

Of course, these were only guesses.

To avoid any mishaps, Sun Wukong decided to have the father-daughter duo of the Fox Clan accompany him back to the Heavenly Court, and they could also serve as witnesses for him.

He temporarily entrusted the Cloud-Piercing Cave at Mount Ji Lei to the Demon King to look after and even asked him to bring out all the Cangyun Blood Spirit Stones of the Mangniu Clan.

In the end, the old bull looked up to the sky, watching Sun Wukong take the two foxes up into the clouds towards the ninth heaven, and it felt as if his heart soared with them.

"Little Jade has gone to heaven, and who knows when I will see her again," the Demon King felt a deep reluctance, as if claws were scratching at his heart, resenting that he did not possess the Heavenly Court Immortal Register to freely enter the heavenly palace.

The Eternal Fox King and Princess Jade Face were both visiting the Heavenly Court for the first time. Standing on the clouds, the former was nervous, while the latter was filled with novelty and anticipation.

Seeing their reactions, Sun Wukong thought back to his own feelings during his first visit to the Heavenly Court, finding it somewhat dreamlike.

Now, with the help of the wise elders online, his life path had undergone a significant change, venturing down a road unpredictable to anyone!

With these thoughts, Sun Wukong again opened the Listen-Advise System and connected his consciousness to the wise, planning to seek guidance from the online elders.

Because he felt that what the Eternal Fox King had told him surely wasn’t the whole story.

After all, this old fox hadn’t lived through the Witch and Demon Era; what he knew were only bits and pieces left by the fox ancestors.
