Clone

As she looked at the cave abode around her, which looked exactly the same as it did in the past, Xu Yue couldn't help but let out a breath of air, causing the entire abode, as well as the mountain it was located on, which was reinforced by formations, to suddenly shake.

Looking at the small crack in the floor that had just appeared after her tiny mistake, Xu Yue waved her hand, causing the small amounts of damage she had caused to disappear, and her to shake her head.

"I guess I can't even let my guard down a little bit now..." mumbled Xu Yue as she suddenly let out a chuckle as she thought about the slightly depressing prospect of always having to be on her guard so that she doesn't destroy everything.

Even though Xu Yue was still far from becoming a True Immortal at the moment, right now, even a tiny mistake from her could even cause damage to a powerful mountain such as the one the Origin Sword Sect was located on.

Using her extremely powerful mind, Xu Yue clearly calculated that if she made this mistake in another place, one not protected by formations and one not as rich in spiritual energy, she would kill trillions of living beings in an instant.

Even though Xu Yue did not have any sort of particular care for human life other than that of those related to her, as she thought about this, she couldn't help but feel a certain feeling spring up into her mind.

A moment later, like a fleeting butterfly in the mind, that feeling disappeared from Xu Yue's mind, as she returned to her normal self.

"I guess this is why the Lower and Upper realms are split up," mumbled Xu Yue as she sat down cross-legged.

Even though Xu Yue herself did not care much, it made perfect sense from the perspective of the Grand Dao, who always seemed to want to see reality stronger.

How many geniuses would be buried every single moment if a tiny mistake from a True Immortal, even one who did not truly desire to do damage, killed countless living beings.

Although Xu Yue was unaware of the true thoughts of the Grand Dao, of if it even had any sort of thoughts, or if it was simply a being without a mind of its own, she still couldn't help but like to think that this was the reason for the separation of the two realms.

A moment later, Xu Yue took her thoughts away from this topic and closed her eyes, beginning her next seclusion.

...

As she looked at the two tiny foxes who were sleeping next to each other, Hulli Jing couldn't help but faintly frown before waving her hand, causing both of them to suddenly open their eyes.

The moment they did so though, a shocked expression appeared on Hulli Jing's face.

In truth, it was not Xu Huan and Xu Wei'er sleeping next to each other as Hulli Jing had expected, neither of them were actually in this location.

The fact that the two foxes had managed to trick her made Hulli Jing feel rather weird.

"I guess children have to grow up eventually," mumbled Hulli Jing with a weird look on her face as she began using her spiritual sense to search for the two.

...

As she looked at Xu Wei'er, as well as at the other two little foxes that were standing next to her, Xu Huan couldn't help but fall into doubt.

"So this was the help that you found?" asked Xu Huan as she looked at Xu Hao'er and Xu Chang'er, who were both standing there with serious looks on their faces.

"Aunt Huan, don't worry, these two are perfectly suited for the mission at hand, and neither of them have any interest in the Fur brush, they just need the other treasures," said Xu Wei'er, causing Xu Huan to still feel a bit of doubt.

Seeing this, Xu Wei'er turned her eyes to one of her sister, Xu Chang'er, causing the latter to suddenly fall to the floor, dead.

A moment later, a figure suddenly appeared behind the four foxes, staring at them with a confused look on her face.

...

As she looked at the dead little fox in front of her, a look of doubt appeared on Xu Yue's face, causing her to stretch out her hand and touch the latter's fur, making her open her eyes, causing vitality to suddenly appear in her body.

After making sure that her granddaughter was not truly dead, Xu Yue instantly disappeared, not interested in the antics of these foxes.

...

"Being able to do that would certainly prove useful in some ways, but I'm not sure how this could help us in obtaining that fur brush," continued Xu Huan, not aware of the appearance of her mother just now.

Hearing this, Xu Wei'er then approached her aunt before whispering something into her ear, causing the latter's eyes to light up and stare at Xu Hao'er with a shocked expression on her face.

"You know... that you should be able to work," mumbled Xu Huan as she excitedly thought about obtaining that Saint Ranked Fur Brush.

Even thought that artifact had no combat power, as thought about how much she could brag to her sisters if she obtained it, Xu Huan needed to obtain it.

This was the reason why she followed Xu Wei'er plan in the first place.

...

As she looked at the little fox in front of her suddenly rise from the dead, Hulli Jing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, causing her to turn her attention to the other three foxes, with a certain one catching her attention.

Looking at Xu Hao'er, who had over a dozen spatial rings on all of her limbs, including her tail, Hulli Jing felt her mouth slightly twitch at the extremely ridiculous sight.

'What, are you some sort of Meng Hao clone?'
