    “Thew of space,” Huan’er replied.


    “Thew of space?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in disbelief. He did not expect her toprehend the samew as him. However, after a while, he thought it was not that surprising. The Phantom Fox n was known for being skilled in illusions. Moreover, as a rare Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox that only appeared once in a million years, it was only natural that she wouldprehend thew of space from the Four Supreme Laws.


    “How many profundities have youprehended?” Duan Ling Tian asked.


    “Five profundities,” Huan’er replied.


    “Five profundities?” Duan Ling Tian was no longer as shocked as he was earlier. After all, he had alreadyprehended seven profundities of thew of space and had evenprehended one of the profundities to the initial stage. He asked again, “Which profundities did youprehend?”


    “The Teleportation Profundity, the Distortion Profundity, the Restraining Profundity, the Maic Storm Profundity, and the Creation Profundity,” Huan’er replied honestly.


    “The Maic Storm Profundity and the Creation Profundity?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened slightly. These were the two profundities from thew of space that he had yet toprehend.


    There were nine profundities from thew of space: the Space Elemental Profundity, the Teleportation Profundity, the Transportation Profundity, the Distortion Profundity, the Restraining Profundity, the Territory Profundity, the Cross-Dimensional sh Profundity, the Maic Storm Profundity, and the Creation Profundity.


    “Huan’er, you’ve actuallyprehended six profundities. You forgot about the Fundamental Profundity, the Space Elemental Profundity.” Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. He did not expect her to haveprehended six profundities, only a profundity short of the profundities he hadprehended. Then, he asked again, “Huan’er, did youprehend any of the profundities to the initial stage?”


    “Yes.” Huan’er nodded.


    Despite being mentally prepared, Duan Ling Tian was still dumbfounded. “Which profundity did youprehend to the initial stage?”


    “The Creation Profundity,” Huan’er replied.


    The Creation Profundity was an assistive profundity of thew of space. One could create countless spaces to confuse one’s enemies. It was rather simr to the effects of Illusory Formations.


    ‘Being a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, Huan’er has a slight advantage in regard to the Creation Profundity. That said, I didn’t expect her to improve so much in such a short time.’ Duan Ling Tian was shocked by Huan’er’s progress. At the same time, he felt relieved again when he thought about the two men who had been tailing Huan’er. Fortunately, they did not know she was a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. Otherwise, they definitely would have attacked her instead of just tailing her.


    During their journey back to the Imperial Tutor Pavilion, Duan Ling Tian had asked the old man about the two men’s cultivation bases. He learned that one of them was a Seven Stars Celestial King and the other one was an Eight Trigrams Celestial King. If they were to attack Huan’er, she would not stand a chance against them at all.


    ‘Since they were tailing her, it’s clear they were suspicious of her even if they weren’t sure she’s a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. I wonder if they’d inform any of their members about this. It’d be troublesome if they did,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself worriedly. Little did he know, he had guessed right.


    ...


    In the Phantom Fox n in the Southern Heaven Territory.


    It did not take long for the Phantom Fox n to learn about the deaths of two of their members after the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion killed them. The deceased members were Celestial Kings; it was only natural that their Soul Pearls were kept in the n. When their Soul Pearls shattered, the entire n was shocked.


    “Zhang Qi Yu and Zhang Li Zhong are dead... Before they died, they sent a message saying they met a woman whom they suspected to be a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.”


    “A Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox? Is it the same Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox that the n leader in the Seven Upper Province had ordered our branch in the Southern Heaven Territory to keep a lookout for?”


    “Is it true?”


    “They weren’t sure; it was only a suspicion... However, considering their deaths, this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems.”


    “I remember they said the woman’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke even though she’s not even 100 years old, right?”


    “A Ten Directions Celestial Duke who isn’t 100 years old? If that’s true, she’s probably a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox!”


    “A person with such talents isn’t all that rare anymore. Haven’t you heard about the Ten Directions Celestial Duke who’s under the age of 100 from the Profound Nether Mansion? Moreover, it’s said that he hasprehended all nine profundities from thew of space. What’s even more shocking is that he hasprehended thew of space’s Cross-Dimensional sh Profundity to the initial stage!”


    “Whatever it is, we should investigate that woman. Did Zhang Qi Yu and Zhang Li Zhong mention their whereabouts?”


    “Yes, they seemed to be near the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate!”


    “That’s where that genius from the Profound Nether Mansion currently lives!”


    ...


    At this moment, three members from the Phantom Fox n were flying in the air.


    A white-d young man seemed to be the leader of the group. Although his hair and eyebrows were white, his appearance was that of someone in his early twenties. He was the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox n in the Southern Heaven Territory and also a Celestial Lord. Therefore, despite his young appearance, he was highly respected. This could be seen from the attitude of the two old men who flew behind him.


    Since the matter was rted to the possible appearance of a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox and the deaths of two of their members, the branch leader had decided to personally investigate the matter.


    The main branch of the Phantom Fox n was located in the Seven Upper Province of the Spirit Overarching Heaven, and the Phantom Fox n in the Southern Heaven Territory was only a branch n.


    Ten years ago, all branch ns of the Phantom Fox n had received orders from the n leader of the main branch to search for a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.


    “Branch leader, why do you think the n leader from the main branch is desperately searching for the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox? Based on my knowledge, in the past, whenever a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox appears in the n, they will let it out to explore the world. Only when it has be a Celestial Emperor would it be allowed to return to the n,” one of the old men asked.


    “From what I heard, it seems like this Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox is from the Du n... Do you understand now?” the young n leader said lightly.


    The Phantom Fox n was further divided into three ns: the Zhang n, the Du n, and the Yuan n.


    “Our Zhang n has always maintained a neutral stance, but the disputes between the Yuan n and the Du n have been going on for years... I wonder which n will emerge victorious?” the other old man wondered out loud.


    “It’s not our ce to specte about such matters. What’s important is for us to find out if the woman Zhang Li Zhong and Zhang Qi Yu met is a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. If she is, our branch n will be handsomely rewarded once we report the matter to the n leader of the main n,” the young man said as his eyes gleamed brightly at the thought of the rewards.


    Simrly, the two old men’s eyes brightened as well when they thought about the rewards they would receive if they found the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.


    ...


    Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware that the members from the Phantom Fox n were on their way to the Profound Nether Mansion, let alone the fact that the branch leader who was a Celestial Lord had personallye as well.


    At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts. ‘Since Huan’erprehended thew of space, she should be able to use the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity as well’! He intended to share the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity with her. After all, as long as one kept the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity close, one would be able to see thew of space’s demonstration in one’s dreams.


    After he tested to see if the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity would work on Huan’er since she was not human, he discovered that it worked for Huan’er. Therefore, he said, “Huan’er, since the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity can help you, you’ll sleep while I cultivate and vice versa.”


    “Alright, I’ll listen to you, Brother Ling Tian.” Huan’er nodded obediently.


    ‘Huan’er is a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox; her innate talent andprehension skills are incredibly high. With the Celestial Fruits given by the old man and the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, her progress should be much faster than mine!’ Duan Ling Tian was certain of this. He was neither jealous nor disappointed. Instead, he was genuinely happy for Huan’er. Since they were together, it would only benefit him if Huan’er became stronger.


    ...


    While Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er took turns to cultivate and sleep, the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion received news that the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox n wasing for a visit.


    The Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion had already told him he had killed two members from the Phantom Fox n so he was immediately alerted about the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox n’s visit.


    Upon receiving this news, the old man, the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion, was slightly surprised. His eyes shed as he muttered to himself, “It seems like that girl isn’t ordinary...”


    After a moment, the old man said to the mansion master, “Meet him and find out what brings him here.”


    “Alright.”


    ...


    When the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion finally met the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox n, he did not beat around the bush and asked with a smile, “Branch Leader Zhang, may I know what brings you to the Profound Nether Mansion? If I’m not mistaken, this is your first visit to the Profound Nether Mansion.”


    Simrly, the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox n did not beat around the bush and replied, “Mansion Master Zhong, I came here because of our suspicion that two of our n members were killed outside the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate. I wonder if you know anything about this matter?”


    “Is this true?” The mansion master feigned an astonished expression on his face. Then, he asked with a frown on his face, “But what were the members of the Phantom Fox n doing outside the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate? Were they helping the Blood Skull Gang?”


    “The Blood Skull Gang?” The branch leader’s brows rose.


    “There are three assassins from the Blood Skull Gang lingering outside our mansion’s estate. Is it possible that your men had a conflict with the assassins?” the mansion master spected out loud.
