Chapter 26: The Heavenly Fox Knows its Master

In his mind, the technique of taming beasts slowly turned, and Chu Tiange was deeply fascinated by its content. This was not just a beast-taming technique; it was truly extraordinary. Although the immortal master hadn't told him the name of this book, judging from the content of the technique, it was definitely not simple.

Those who tame beasts can communicate with the spirits of the beasts. If the beast dies, the person will have no worries. If the person perishes, so will the beast. They can also acquire an instant innate ability from the spirit beast. This beast-taming technique only allows taming three beasts in one's lifetime. If one exceeds this number, it may lead to neurological disorders, or even cause the beast's power and vitality to explode within the body, leading to death. Those who practice this technique must bear this in mind.

Chu Tiange felt that such an extraordinary technique would be truly strange if it had no limitations. Just imagine, if this technique could be used without restrictions, Chu Tiange would just have to find spirit beasts, tame them, and then with a wave of his hand, millions of demon beasts would mobilize. Even a sacred place would surely be destroyed by Chu Tiange.

The thought alone was terrifying.

"Immortal Master, your technique is truly terrifying!" Chu Tiange looked at the immortal master system and increasingly felt that it was a treasure trove – so many valuable items kept appearing. He wondered what else this guy might have tucked away.

"Of course, if the Immortal Master created it, it must be top-notch," the immortal master system teased back.

"Immortal Master, what level is this technique?" Chu Tiange curiously asked. This technique was absolutely extraordinary, and the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to understand it.

"Level? Let's say you consider it heavenly level," the immortal master system said mysteriously.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tiange immediately lost his composure. What did it mean to consider it as heavenly level? Could there possibly be techniques surpassing heavenly level in this world? Chu Tiange instantly realized that his own strength was inadequate. If he stood at the pinnacle of this world, could there still be things unknown to him?

Chu Tiange restrained his thoughts and began to subdue the nine-tailed celestial fox by using the mysterious beast-taming technique and the method to subdue it.

Chu Tiange cut his palm, using blood as ink to draw on the ground, a series of mysterious symbols, totaling thousands of pairs. Despite being a cultivator with the Dao circulating blood, he still appeared weak and pale. When he completed drawing the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth symbol, a miraculous thing happened. These thousand symbols slowly began to operate in a manner containing the grand path of the heavens and the earth. Chu Tiange placed the celestial fox on top of these symbols and sat cross-legged beside it.

Chu Tiange then bit his middle finger, forcing three drops of heart essence blood, which he dropped onto the celestial fox's forehead. In an instant, these nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine runes surrounded Chu Tiange and the celestial fox. Encased within, Chu Tiange appeared like a cocoon, emitting a spectrum of colors, while various mysterious symbols slowly rotated.

This was clearly not a quick matter; three days and three nights had passed. Within Chu Tiange's mind, the image of a fiery red fox appeared – it could be none other than the nine-tailed celestial fox. When Chu Tiange sensed the fox's spirit, the blood-red chrysalis instantly dissipated, and both Chu Tiange and the celestial fox, who had been enveloped, opened their eyes simultaneously. The celestial fox in front of Chu Tiange looked around like a curious baby. When it saw Chu Tiange, it paused for a moment and then excitedly nestled in Chu Tiange's arms.

"Mother." The celestial fox couldn't speak, only communicating in the language of beasts, but Chu Tiange understood its mind. Upon hearing the fox call him "mother," Chu Tiange was dumbfounded.

"I'm not your mother; I'm your big brother, got it? Call me big brother." Chu Tiange recalled the gang of bullies who used to torment him, with their leader being addressed by the others as "big brother." Now, he was also a big brother, and not just to anyone – he was the older brother of the legendary nine-tailed celestial fox. It would be essential for him to avenge himself when encountering those bullies again.

"Big brother? Big brother." The celestial fox readily obeyed Chu Tiange. In its eyes, Chu Tiange was its family, and whatever it called him was of no consequence, as both their souls were intertwined. That feeling, more intimate than blood ties, left it completely defenseless towards Chu Tiange.

"Haha, good, from now on, you'll be my little brother. I will give you a name, or else when I let you beat people up in the future, won't you be laughed at?" Chu Tiange felt that this was still very important.

The nine-tailed celestial fox gazed at Chu Tiange with eyes wide open, like a curious baby, as if expecting to hear its name.

"How about I call you Dahong?" Chu Tiange felt his eloquence plummet instantly.

But upon hearing this name, the nine-tailed celestial fox rolled its eyes and started chattering noisily.

"Okay, okay, then let me think of another one for you. Hmm, how about Hongtongtong, it suits your temperament!" Chu Tiange couldn't help but laugh as he said this. The nine-tailed celestial fox then jumped out of Chu Tiange's arms, crossed its arms in front of its chest, and turned its back to Chu Tiange, looking as if it was angry.

"Oh, don't be mad. If you're not happy with the name I came up with, then let's think of one together. Since you call me mother, and my name is Tiange, how about Ziqu for you? Chu Ziqu, how's that?" Chu Tiange seemed quite pleased with this name. The nine-tailed celestial fox also seemed very happy upon hearing this, jumping onto Chu Tiange's shoulders, licking his face and laughing gleefully. Obviously, this thoughtful name made the nine-tailed celestial fox very satisfied.

"Then I'll call you Xiaoqu from now on." Chu Tiange suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. This little Xiaoqu would definitely have a bright future, with the bloodline power it possessed. Even if a pig had the bloodline power, it would certainly grow into a powerful figure in the future, comparable to the Heavenly Marshal.

After all this, Chu Tiange's stomach rumbled. He and the nine-tailed celestial fox exchanged glances, both understanding each other's intentions.

"Let's fill our stomachs first and then make plans." Chu Tiange, with Xiaoqu, instantly appeared outside the cave, setting out to find food. The night posed no hindrance to cultivators.

For the next three months, a figure in a black robe, with a small, bright red creature the size of a squirrel perched on its shoulder, appeared in the Wolong Mountains, leaving behind endless legends.
