“It is nothing,” Clan Leader Su Mou said as he produced another ancient box. “I had my people search the clan’s warehouse for this.”

"Unfortunately, there is only one. Please, Mr. Lin, do accept it." Lin Moyu replied politely.

"Thank you for your trouble." At this moment, the other clan leaders also began to produce ancient boxes.

Excluding Clan Leader Lei Tian, Clan Leader Jin Mie, and Clan Leader Su Mou, five of the remaining seven clan leaders produced ancient boxes to present to Lin Moyu.

Unfortunately, each only had one box. When Clan Leader Lei Tian had originally asked them, they had all said they had none.

But after the Demon Emperor brought three, they had sent people to search their clan warehouses, and upon searching…

…they had actually managed to find a few, which they immediately had delivered. They also asked various small and medium-sized clans.

After asking around, they found nothing and had to give up.

Counting the three given by the Demon Emperor, Lin Moyu had obtained nine boxes without any effort, and he felt quite pleased.

As for the credit, this matter was still thanks to Clan Leader Lei Tian. If it hadn't been for Clan Leader Lei Tian notifying the Demon Emperor…

…he would not have obtained these. Clan Leader Lei Tian deserved at least half the credit. With the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury now concluded…

…the forces of the various clans gradually dispersed, and the world outside the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury became quiet. As they returned…

…the name 'Mr. Lin' would surely spread throughout the entire Demon Race. A human in the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm…

…being collectively honored as 'Mr.' by the leaders of the ten great royal clans was such a peculiar affair…

…that it would inevitably become a topic of conversation for countless Demon Race members. Lin Moyu accepted Clan Leader Su Mou's invitation to visit the Celestial Fox Clan.

Lin Moyu bid farewell to Clan Leader Jin Mie and boarded the Celestial Fox Clan's flying boat, which soared through the air.

Its speed was incredibly fast; it was a rare flying magical treasure with a grade reaching the Dao Venerable 8th Realm.

Its speed was significantly faster than Lin Moyu's full-power flight. On the flying boat, Lin Moyu stood at the bow.

He looked into the distance, where high mountains were hidden within the clouds. These mountains rapidly grew in his field of vision…

…only to be left behind in the blink of an eye, shrinking rapidly until they vanished from sight. The Celestial Fox Clan was located at the far west of the Northern Continent…

…near the Boundary Sea and was one of the regions closest to the Western Continent. Lin Moyu intended to go to the Western Continent.

The closest route was, in fact, to traverse the territory of the Celestial Fox Clan. Clan Leader Su Mou stood beside Lin Moyu.

He smiled and said, "Actually, this time, several clan leaders wanted to invite Mr. Lin to be a guest."

"But I took the initiative, so they felt embarrassed to speak up." Lin Moyu could tell…

…that the other clan leaders had indeed wanted to invite him, but Clan Leader Su Mou had spoken first. Among the ten great royal clans…

…Clan Leader Su Mou held a high status. Once he spoke, the others ceased their requests.

Clan Leader Su Mou continued to himself, "Actually, those few were just giving me face. After all, I am much older than them."

"Their previous clan leaders were also old friends of mine. If you count it up…"

"…they are all my juniors." Lin Moyu remarked, "I see."

"No wonder I noticed those clan leaders all respect you so much." Clan Leader Su Mou replied…

"I have simply lived a few more years, that is all. It is nothing. In truth, I should have abdicated long ago."

"It is just that…" Clan Leader Su Mou sighed softly, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.

Lin Moyu realized that something must have happened to the Celestial Fox Clan. For someone of Clan Leader Su Mou's great age…

…to still occupy the position of clan leader was, in fact, quite unreasonable. Within the Demon Race…

…a clan leader's tenure lasted from ten thousand years at the shortest, to one hundred thousand years at the longest.

Even the longest tenure was two hundred thousand years; it was time for a change. Clan Leader Su Mou had sat in the position of clan leader…

…for over five hundred thousand years, more than enough time to have changed leaders twice, yet the Celestial Fox Clan had never changed its leader.

Clan Leader Su Mou had always been the leader, which was very abnormal. He suspected that this time, Clan Leader Su Mou inviting him to their clan…

…also had other reasons. Lin Moyu said, "Clan Leader Su Mou, if you have something to say, please just speak directly."

"If I can be of any help, I will do my best." Clan Leader Su Mou replied, "I will not hide it from you, Mr. Lin."

"I invited Mr. Lin to come this time because there is indeed something I must request. Previously, I had stopped thinking about that matter…"

"…because it was too difficult, almost hopeless, until I met Mr. Lin."

"Only then did I see hope again. Our Celestial Fox Clan is the most intelligent race among the Demon Race."

"Even the Green Wind Wolf Clan is far inferior to us. At the same time…"

"…our inheritance is also extremely special." Clan Leader Su Mou recounted the entire story.

He was like an aged elder telling an ancient story. Perhaps fearing that Lin Moyu would not be willing to help…

…Clan Leader Su Mou was very sincere and did not hide anything. Lin Moyu could feel…

…that Clan Leader Su Mou was not speaking nonsense; he neither exaggerated nor omitted details. Everything he said was the truth.

Every clan had its own past. Through Clan Leader Su Mou's narration, although he had not yet entered the Celestial Fox Clan…

…the outline of the Celestial Fox Clan became clear in Lin Moyu's mind. The Celestial Fox Clan…

…was the most ancient existence among the Demon Race and the first clan to follow the Demon Emperor, older than all other royal clans.

The royal clans had not existed as ten from the beginning; they had all grown bit by bit, and the Celestial Fox Clan was the first.

Over countless years, the Celestial Fox Clan had experienced several disasters, but in the end, they had always passed through them safely.

The Celestial Fox Clan had its own special abilities, which was why it could turn danger into safety time and again. This time…

…the Celestial Fox Clan had encountered difficulties again, greater than any before, even though the Celestial Fox Clan was currently strong.

Counting Clan Leader Su Mou, there were five top-tier experts in the Dao Venerable 9th Realm within the clan, with a surplus.

The number of experts in the Dao Venerable 8th Realm was even greater. In terms of the number of experts, one Celestial Fox Clan…

…could equal two other royal clans, and perhaps even more. For the Celestial Fox Clan, this should currently be a golden age.

Yet, it was precisely in this situation that the crisis within the clan had emerged. The crisis stemmed from their special method of inheritance.

Within the Celestial Fox Clan, to become the clan leader, one must undergo the Ancestral Land Trial.

Only after gaining recognition could one become the clan leader. This point…

…was actually very similar to the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan. The Celestial Fox Clan's Ancestral Land Trial, apart from one's own strength…

…also tested luck. Only with sufficiently good luck could one pass the trial.

The Celestial Fox Clan claimed to have five experts in the Dao Venerable 9th Realm, but in reality, there were only three. Two Dao Venerable 9th Realm experts…

…had become trapped inside while entering the Ancestral Land to accept the trial; their life or death was unknown.

After the incident, Clan Leader Su Mou had gone to the Ancestral Land to check. He saw that the Ancestral Land had developed a problem…

…but could not find the root cause. He had also been unable to rescue the two people trapped in the Ancestral Land.

Later, he went to find the Demon Emperor, who also came to take a look, but the Demon Emperor had no solution either.

However, the Demon Emperor used a secret technique through a causal magical treasure and obtained some vague answers. To resolve this crisis of the Celestial Fox Clan…

…required someone with extremely abundant luck. The Celestial Fox Clan had always been on good terms with people who had good luck. Among the people they knew…

…there were many people with excellent luck. Clan Leader Su Mou had also looked for people, finding four in total.

The results were all unsuccessful. Two returned empty-handed, and the other two died directly in the Ancestral Land.

These were the four people with the best luck they could find. In his helplessness, Clan Leader Su Mou…

…could only give up. He could only continue to sit in the position of clan leader. However, this crisis was not as simple as he had thought.

In the last ten thousand years, the Ancestral Land had undergone some peculiar changes, becoming increasingly dangerous.

Many Celestial Fox Clan members who entered had encountered problems; the minor ones were seriously injured…

…and the major ones died. There were also some who were trapped in the Ancestral Land and could not escape.

Within the Celestial Fox Clan, those who could enter the Ancestral Land were all existences above the Dao Venerable 7th Realm.

Only after entering the Ancestral Land and receiving the baptism of the Ancestral Land could one, on the basis of the Dao Venerable 7th Realm…

…continue to improve. Once the Ancestral Land had a problem, it cut off the Celestial Fox Clan's path of advancement.

Now, within the Celestial Fox Clan, there were still three Dao Venerable 9th Realm experts and a large number of Dao Venerable 8th Realm experts, but if this continued…

…the clan would not produce any new Dao Venerable 9th Realm or 8th Realm experts. The inheritance would be severed. In a few hundred thousand years…

…when this generation passed away, the Celestial Fox Clan would be removed from the royal clans, not even as good as some small clans.

After listening, Lin Moyu asked in a low voice, "Even with the Demon Emperor's luck, there is no way?"

Clan Leader Su Mou replied, "Although the Demon Emperor's luck is strong, it is still not enough."

"I am not very clear about the reasons for this, and the Demon Emperor cannot use his full power. Once he uses his full power…"

"…he might shatter our Ancestral Land, and then our Celestial Fox Clan would be finished. The Demon Emperor certainly has the strength…"

"…but he cannot shatter the Celestial Fox Clan's Ancestral Land in order to solve the problem. That would not be saving people…"

"…but harming them." Clan Leader Su Mou said, "As long as Mr. Lin can save our clan from fire and water…"

"…whatever conditions you need, just state them. I will certainly do my utmost to accomplish them for you."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment but did not agree immediately. "Wait until we arrive…"

"…I will take a look and then decide."

Luck is such a thing.

It is very troublesome. Even though Lin Moyu comprehended the Great Dao of Luck, he considered…

…his understanding of luck to still be merely scratching the surface. If it were just a small problem…

…he might be able to solve it. If it was involved too deeply, Lin Moyu could only express…

…that he was unable to help. As for whether he could help, he really had to see it with his own eyes to know.

If he was not sure, Lin Moyu would not agree casually. If he agreed, he had to do it.

Clan Leader Su Mou had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and had long since become a wily old fox; he was naturally clear about Lin Moyu's thoughts.

It was actually a good thing that Lin Moyu was so cautious. Some people promised everything…

…but failed to deliver in the end, which was what made people annoying. At this moment, Lin Moyu…

…his luck transformed into a dragon. Clan Leader Su Mou saw this very clearly. He remembered that after Su Ze returned, he had mentioned…

…that Lin Moyu had once manifested three dragons of luck. Three dragons of luck—Clan Leader Su Mou had never even heard of such a thing.

For a normal person to have one dragon of luck already meant that this person's luck was extremely strong, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

If there were three, coupled with Lin Moyu's intelligence and caution, Clan Leader Su Mou felt…

…that it was not without a chance. Clan Leader Su Mou thought for a moment and said in a low voice,

"Our Celestial Fox Clan is the most ancient race in the Northern Continent, and our inheritance has never been broken."

"We have not suffered any major disasters, and our clan members have extensive connections, having once traveled across all four continents."

"We have even ventured into the depths of the Boundary Sea, thereby accumulating countless materials and various rare treasures."

"Regardless of whether Mr. Lin can help, as long as Mr. Lin has any needs, just speak up."

Clan Leader Su Mou decided to place his bet first, regardless of the outcome.

Even if he lost, he would not regret it. Moreover, he believed in his own judgment.

He would not misjudge people; Lin Moyu's character was trustworthy.

Lin Moyu's gaze flickered slightly. "If that is the case, I do indeed have something I would like to ask Clan Leader Su Mou for advice on."

Clan Leader Su Mou replied, "I dare not accept the word 'advice'. If there is anything, Mr. Lin, please just say it."

Lin Moyu said, "I am searching for a hell fragment. I wonder if Clan Leader Su Mou…"
