BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1415 Understand
However, this Barrier Breaking turned Fate Breaking Pill was a special case. Fate breaking pills were no different than barrier breaking pills for most of the concocting process, the only difference was that fate breaking pills were baptized with high level blood essence during their final step.
Due to the difficulty of collecting even normal blood essence, let alone that of a supreme grade beast, the fate breaking pill\'s grade was raised by two levels.
Luckily, the celestial fox species was wiped out before they fell below the supreme grade. This meant that their blood vat was filled entirely with supreme grade blood essence!
After joking around a bit, Dyon finally answered his mother-in-law\'s question.
"The aura you sense is that of the Celestial Fox. I\'m not sure if kitsune are related to those ancient beasts or not, but I do know that you share the same basic makeup."
Since kitsune were high-level supreme grade beasts as well, Dyon couldn\'t be absolutely certain that they evolved from celestial foxes. After all, it was rare for branching evolutions to reach the same height as their ancestors.
\'Celestial fox?!\' Kawa lost control of her emotions. For a woman who had the calm disposition of a gentle river, this was definitely a new feeling for her.
Dyon raised an eyebrow, wondering what Kawa was thinking about. It wasn\'t until a while later she finally spoke.
\'In kitsune lore, the ten tails has always been the greatest height. But, as you know, kitsune aren\'t like many other beasts. Instead of making us stronger, we\'re actually quite a bit weaker, not to mention far smaller, in our beast forms.
\'According to some of our ancient texts, we were able to rely heavily on our trickery and elemental masteries to once more reach the peak of the supreme grade, but we had already lost what it meant to be a beast. Although we had the innate affinities, we lacked the powerful body.
\'The celestial fox is the pinnacle of what we kitsune were meant to be. Not only do they have the elemental mastery, they grow incredibly large much like all other beasts do. They\'re far superior to the ten tails despite only having one!\'
Hearing Kawa\'s tale, Dyon began to understand. It turned out that the kitsune had descended from the celestial fox, but they managed to reach the pinnacle of a new branch of evolution. It was just that this branch was inferior to the pinnacle the celestial fox reached.
This wasn\'t exactly unheard of. For example, the qilins could be considered a descendent of the celestial deer, but they managed to reach a pinnacle through a path of their own, even becoming equals to the mighty dragons.
Unfortunately for the kitsune, although they reached a pinnacle of their own as well, they did so along a partially flawed path. They lost much of what it meant to be a beast.
Much like humans, kitsune placed heavy emphasis on outside sources of strength, pulling from the atmosphere around them. But, this caused them to lose their powerful bodies. In the end, their beast forms became a laughingstock. They looked no different from adorable puppies.
Understanding the magnitude of Kawa\'s words, Dyon no longer felt that it was safe to have her consume the pill here. Instead, he quickly brought Kawa to the 18th tier of the celestial beast mystical world.
"So you finally think to visit your master?" Esmeralda looked toward Dyon with a displeased expression. Although she had agreed to stay here, this was only because she hadn\'t seen her own mother in a very long time. However, she was heavily invested in Dyon\'s improvement. How could she burden her disciple with such a heavy task and not put in work of her own?
If Dyon knew that Esmeralda\'s idea of work was torturing him, he wouldn\'t know whether to laugh or cry.
Dyon smiled. "Master. I hear Zaire came to see you?"
Hearing Dyon mention her son, Esmeralda\'s stern expression melted away into a bright smile that almost blinded her visitors.
"That little boy is so-so. At least he won\'t embarrass me out there."
Watching her master try her best to veil her own gloating, Dyon felt a warmth in his heart. There really was no better place to be than around family.
Thinking to this point, he sighed. Currently, Amphorae, Lyla and Zaire had left. He knew why they had done it, but with his new change in mind state, he didn\'t believe it was worth it.
When the day came that he had to fight the entity, that could very well be the day Dyon\'s luck finally ran out. Wouldn\'t it be a shame if he spent the whole time mindlessly grinding away? If he was meant to die some time in the distant future, he would like to know he had lived a good life first.
"Maybe I was too worried about you." Esmeralda said thoughtfully. "You\'ve grown."
The sight of Dyon falling into despair shadowed Esmeralda\'s dreams. It made her feel better to see that he was slowly pulling himself out.
Dyon smiled knowingly. "Not enough."
Shaking his head, he took his mother-in-law in his arms before handing her the pill.
Esmeralda\'s eyebrows shot up when she saw this, immediately understanding why Dyon thought it best to come here.
The moment the pill entered Kawa\'s small mouth, a radiant light sent Dyon, King Acacia and Ri flying. Although Esmeralda was slightly better off due to the fact she was a spirit, she felt too uncomfortable to remain nearby, instead deciding to distance herself as well.
As to be expected, such a commotion alerted all four celestial beast clans. Many believed there was an enemy after so many years of peace, but after seeing the circumstances, they calmed down, watching with bated interest. Just why was it that this aura seemed so familiar?
At that moment, Granny Celest had been in closed door cultivation. For someone like her who had the small chance to become a Higher Existence, these were regular occurrences. Ever since Dyon flooded this 18th tier with primordial energy, she had felt numerous bottlenecks both on her cultivation and her bloodline loosening. So, she had entered closed door cultivation to charge toward the 10th dao realm and finally become a peak dao expert. Unfortunately, this had caused her to miss the appearance of her grandson, but it couldn\'t be helped.
