Chapter 883 Swift and Secret Mission

"Top three grades..."

The illusory world in the mirror fell into an eerie silence.

Xia Gong, Xia Jun, and Si Ye did not dare to utter a word, and waited for the three family heads to give their instructions.

Ultimately, achieving the highest rank (the third rank) is extremely difficult and cannot be accomplished by ordinary people.

The path of cultivation, from the lower three grades to the middle three grades, and from the middle three grades to the upper three grades, is fraught with peril at every step.

When one reaches the lower three ranks, external forces can still help one's cultivation. When one reaches the middle three ranks, rare and precious materials can also help one achieve success. However, when one reaches the upper three ranks, external forces not only cannot help one, but may even cause harm.

The middle three ranks focus on cultivating the spirit, but no matter how they cultivate, they are all strengthening the Yin spirit. When they reach the upper three ranks, they must generate Yang from Yin and cultivate the Yang spirit, so that, as Fairy Qingyao said, they can receive the primordial energy of the heavens and travel the universe to the eight extremes and all the heavens.

This is why one must have a cultivation level of at least three grades to ascend to the upper realm. Without such cultivation, one cannot survive independently in the upper realm and can only rely on the protection of others.

The Su and Chun clans are ancient clans that once had a glorious past, but they are no longer the same Su and Chun clans they once were.

Currently, the Su family's top three ranks are hidden in a secret realm and do not emerge into the world, while the Chun family's top three ranks are in seclusion cultivating in the mortal realm. The only top three rank present is the old master of the Hu family, who is also the only top three rank who is still in charge of the family.

In the mirror, all that could be seen was a wisp of black smoke, with the outlines of two eyes barely discernible. He said calmly, "My true self is still traveling outside the realm, and I can only use my avatar to oversee the Heavenly Fox Courtyard. I'm afraid I can't take action myself. However, regardless of whether it's the Su family or the Chun family matriarch who takes action, I can clean up the mess left by Gong Mengbi's death and suppress the counterattack of those wild foxes."

Upon hearing these words from Old Master Hu, Madam Su realized that it was impossible to ask a high-ranking official for help.

Madam Su felt helpless and had no other choice. Just as Old Master Hu was unwilling to be the first to stick his neck out, how could Madam Su and Madam Chun possibly be willing?

She sighed inwardly, but had already made her decision: "I know the old master has concerns, and these are our concerns as well. But if we let Gong Mengbi cause trouble, I'm afraid the Heavenly Fox Academy will be ruled by wild foxes in the future. Since it's inconvenient for the three ranks to take action, then we three families must send our elite troops, armed with divine weapons, to act swiftly and secretly, to lay a net that will not give him a chance to breathe."

Old Master Hu glanced at her, then lowered his eyes and said, "Alright."

After saying this, Old Master Hu's figure disappeared into the Divine Mirror Illusion, leaving Hu Xiajun to discuss with them a strategy to defeat the enemy.

Without the old master present, the discussion went much faster. Once the plan was finalized, Madam Su urged, "The sooner the better, let's get started."

Chun and Hu emerged from the illusion one after the other. Su Xiagong said with some dissatisfaction, "If Old Master Hu were willing to help, there would be no need for such trouble. In the end, the Hu family is still the most powerful in Tianhu Courtyard, yet we are the ones who have to do things for them."

“Hu has served the emperor for a long time, how could she have such a temper? But if he refuses to take action, we are even less likely to test the waters on his behalf.” Madam Su said, “But the Heavenly Fox Courtyard cannot be lost either. Without the Heavenly Fox Courtyard, our Su family will truly become a reclusive clan.”

"This matter must be done discreetly, without leaving any obvious evidence." As the mistress spoke, she silently prayed before the altar before respectfully removing the divine mirror from the altar. The mirror transformed into a small and exquisite bronze mirror, which she placed in a treasure box and handed to Su Xia Gong.

Su Xiagong held the treasure box with excitement in his heart. This was a precious treasure of the Su family, which would not be used lightly. Now that it was in his hands, he knew even more about its value.

Su Xiagong agreed and left. The mistress watched his retreating figure, but felt inexplicably annoyed. Then she thought that she was worrying too much.

With all three families' elite forces deployed and valuable treasures at their disposal, if they still cannot defeat Gong Mengbi, then it can only be said that it is fate.

Gong Mengbi didn't know what fate held, but as for human factors, he firmly believed they lay with him.

Even though someone was staring at his forehead and giving him a very bad divination.

"Why do you look like your destiny is about to collapse, as if there are signs of impending disaster? What are you planning to do?" Madam Bai looked at the Golden Court Immortal with a furrowed brow.

The Golden Court Immortal lay lazily on the bamboo couch and asked, "Sister, when you look at my face, do you see my ominous star, or your own ominous star?"

Madam Bai chuckled and said, "If I couldn't even tell the difference, what kind of cultivation would I be doing? Although my supernatural powers and magic are far less than they were back then, my cultivation has still improved somewhat."

Looking at her adopted nephew, who was fighting with the little fox demon in the mountains, Jin Ting Da Xian asked, "Has your sister foreseen the twists and turns in Kuan'er's destiny?"

Madam Bai's attention shifted from the Golden Court Immortal to her own son, her worry barely contained: "His fate is too heavy; he will inevitably face many calamities."

The Immortal Jin Ting's gaze fell on the boy's sweat-drenched face, and she asked, "Does Sister want him to be Emperor?"

His words were startling, causing Madam Bai to stumble and spill tea on her skirt. She placed the teacup on the table, looking at the Golden Court Immortal with suspicion and asked, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Jin Ting Da Xian said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I really want to know if you have such thoughts, sister. Please don't say you haven't thought about this issue."

Madam Bai's expression shifted between light and shadow. She glanced at Gong Mengbi and then at Kuan'er in the distance, sighed, and said, "I have thought about it, of course, but there is no chance. If I were to consider my own cultivation, I would naturally hope that he could sit on that throne, but for Kuan'er, he would certainly be powerless and unlikely to have a good end. I don't have such a heart, nor do I want him to have such an ending."

Jin Ting Da Xian laughed and said, "Then is the cultivation of slaying the Mirror Flower just like that, sister?"

Madam Bai said, "I cut off the Mirror Flower and entered the mortal world to cultivate again, not because of this situation today. It was only because the situation forced me to this point. Just consider it as me going astray in the first half of my life. Coming back is just a matter of taking more effort. It's nothing."

Jin Ting Da Xian changed from lying down to sitting up: "Then sister, you must remember these words today and not let the situation shake your resolve."

Madam Bai looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Jin Ting Da Xian went from sitting to standing, adjusting his clothes as he said, "It means that circumstances are beyond our control. When you wanted to enter the world, you were trapped in the deep palace. Now that you want to leave the world, you may not be able to find peace."

"Sister, take good care of your nephew, and I will help you." Jin Ting Da Xian looked into her eyes and promised her, then walked down the mountain.

Madam Bai was uneasy and followed, pressing for clarification: "Why don't you explain things clearly?"

"I just have this feeling, how can I explain it clearly?" Jin Ting Da Xian stopped her and said, "I'm just reminding you, sister."

Madam Bai gradually calmed down under his gaze: "Alright. So where are you going now?"

Jin Ting Da Xian said, "Didn't you see that I was in grave danger, sister? Of course I'm going to deal with my predicament. Sister, please wait. After I've dealt with this, I'll come back to help you raise your nephew."

Madam Bai watched him walk into the forest. When Kuan'er saw him, he ran over excitedly and clung to him. The Golden Immortal patted the little brat on the head and said a few words. The little brat then ran away with a big smile on his face.

Gazing at each other from afar, the Great Immortal Jinting waved to Madam Bai, then transformed into smoke and disappeared into Jade Spring Mountain.
