Chapter 10: Traces
Chapter 10 Trails
The white tiger's body gradually diffused a milky white light, like a layer of milky white mist diffusing in the air, and it didn't take long to completely envelop the white tiger, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside the light mist from the outside, and even people like Xue Yueji and Yun Na, who could rely on wind and water to probe the surroundings, didn't know what was going on in the light mist. Yun Na worriedly looked at the light mist that wrapped the white tiger and turned around and asked Xue Yueji:
"Wood, is the white tiger really going to be fine?"
Xue Yueji nodded indifferently and said:
"The beasts have a reflex bone in the back of their heads, and this anti-bone restricts their intelligence, and also blocks their bridge between heaven and earth, making it impossible for them to cultivate. However, all beasts like the White Tiger that were able to cultivate on their own had inadvertently refined a little bit of anti-bone by chance, making the bridge between heaven and earth open a little before they began to cultivate. With their cultivation, the anti-bones behind their heads will gradually be refined, and finally the anti-bones will be completely refined, making the bridge between heaven and earth unimpeded. After refining the anti-bones, their intelligence is almost the same as that of humans of the same level, or even a few points better, but due to the nature of beasts, their personalities will be a little upright, much more sincere than humans. Of course, this refers to most beasts, like those beasts that are naturally agile and have a master of scheming after refining their backbones. The White Tiger should have been refining the anti-bone after breaking through just now, and it shouldn't be too difficult to completely refine the anti-bone with its current strength and realm. And every time I break through my body after reaching my current realm, it will be tempered once, and the white tiger should also be refining its body now, let's see what it can become after transforming. ”
Yun Na looked at the light mist wrapped in the white tiger with pity and said:
"White Tiger, they are really pitiful, they obviously have such good talents, but they have to be restricted by the backbone and can't cultivate easily. Even if you cultivate, you still have to refine the anti-bone, it's really pitiful. “
Xue Yueji said lightly:
"There are gains and losses in the world, and the white tigers, these spirit beasts, are born with talents far superior to ordinary people, but they have to be limited by the backbone. And the anti-bones limit their cultivation and also limit their opportunities to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, there are many situations where ordinary people can easily comprehend the Heavenly Dao, but in front of them, they are completely undetectable, which makes it even more difficult for them to cultivate. However, the compensation they received was that after a long period of cultivation, their strength was far superior to that of humans of the same level. Between gains and losses, it can be said that the white tigers did not suffer any losses. The difference between the cultivation of these spirit beasts and the cultivation of human beings is actually the difference between the first difficult and then the easy and the first easy and then the difficult. Although it is easy for people to enter the Dao, it is relatively superficial to lead people to the Dao after all, so it will be much more difficult to comprehend the origin of the Dao in the future. And although spirit beasts are born with spiritual wisdom and enlightenment, they are far less than one-tenth of human beings, and the Dao that can lead them to the Dao is closer to the origin of the Dao than the Dao that leads people to the Dao, and after refining the backbone, it is much easier than humans to comprehend the Dao. ”
Xue Yueji's understatement made Yun Na's heart knot that had just been knotted unravel. Seeing that Yun Na had returned to normal, Xue Yueji breathed a sigh of relief slightly, Yun Na was already a person who was about to enter the innate realm, if she formed a heart knot now, then it would be impossible to break through the innate realm in the future without dissolving this heart knot. However, if the knot formed in the transformation stage is not untied at that time, I am afraid that the opportunity required to untie it in the future may not be enough to simply comprehend "the goodness is like water".
After about two hours, the light mist that diffused around the white tiger slowly began to shrink, and Bai inhaled into the white tiger's body. After the light mist completely disappeared, the white tiger's figure appeared again. After the transformation, the white tiger's body is stronger and more vigorous than the one, and the hair on his body has grown a lot, completely lacking the soft aura of the previous one, while the domineering aura of the king is much stronger. From time to time, you can see the fierce glint in the eyes of the white tiger, walking between the dragon and the tiger, a self-respecting posture.
A look of joy flashed in Xue Yueji's eyes, she nodded with satisfaction, and said lightly:
"It's a tiger going down the mountain, and it has the ability to fight with me for control of this wind. The ancients said that the dragon follows the clouds and the tiger follows the wind. Sure enough, it's true. If it weren't for me, the wind within a radius of more than 100 zhang would be under your control. Yes, yes, it seems that my hard work has not been in vain. ”
Hearing Xue Yueji's praise, the white tiger raised his head proudly and roared, wanting to announce its existence around. However, this time the White Tiger's roar did not have the same huge lethality as the previous one, after all, announcing his existence and venting in anger are two completely different states, and the White Tiger naturally did not want to hurt people, as long as it was declared its existence. Yun Na hurriedly walked in front of the white tiger, jumped up and hit the white tiger on the head with a pink fist, and reprimanded the white tiger loudly with extreme dissatisfaction:
"What's your name! The people who hurt you have been worried about you for so long in vain! When you wake up, you scream so loudly! You think that if you change a little, I won't recognize you! If you grow a little fiercer, I won't dare to teach you a lesson! Look at you! The hair on your body is so long! What if there are lice and jumping and something like that? How can you let me ride?"
After receiving a pink punch from Yun Na, the white tiger obediently lay on the ground and was reprimanded by Yun Na. Seeing that the dignified top-level holy beast was taught by Yun Na, a little girl who didn't even have the strength of a high-level swordsman, to be as well-behaved as a house cat, and the knights of the Royal Knights almost fell to the ground with their jaws. As Xue Yueji said, the status of the holy beast is also quite noble, and the dignity of the holy beast is also not something that ordinary people can challenge. But seeing this scene now, who would believe that the white tiger lying on the ground like a house cat was really a holy beast, and it was also a top-level holy beast second only to the divine beast? But when I thought that Yun Na could sit on the back of the white tiger with Xue Yueji, and the two princesses could only ride a Lan Ling unicorn, it was not unusual for Yun Na to be able to reprimand the white tiger. Xue Yueji said lightly to Yun Na:
"It's just announcing its presence around it, and it's not a big deal to feel a threat to show its majesty. Forgivable, forgivable. Didn't it just as much as it sensed my threat to its position when it was in the forest, and roared the same?"
Yun Na glared at Xue Yueji with dissatisfaction and said:
"You think I'm deaf! Can't you hear that there is no master above the Holy Throne except for it? Who in the world except for your perverted wood can be perverted to the point that he can threaten the existence of the Holy Throne without the Holy Throne!"
Xue Yueji said lightly:
"That's right, there is indeed no one here here who can threaten the White Tiger by force. But what if a person has the favor of a god? For example, an emperor who is protected by a god and has the aura of a true emperor? Am I right? His Majesty Hemenster, the Celestial Dragon Emperor?"
With that, Snow Moon turned her head to a closed gate behind the knights of the Royal Order. The door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties who was slightly fat, accompanied by a team of guards, walked out, the knights of the Royal Order, led by Oran Casot, knelt down on one knee and gave the middle-aged man a standard knightly salute, and Hyland and Hai Rou also hastily gave a noble salute to the middle-aged man. Xue Yueji carefully looked at the middle-aged man who was walking towards him, forty years old and no more than forty-five years old, his temples were already slightly gray, his body was slightly fat, but he did not hide his sturdy figure, a precious costume was cut very well, obviously the pursuit of comfort was more than solemn, and the same flaxen color as Hai Rou, and the slightly golden hair proved the kinship between him and Hai Rou. But Xue Yueji smiled coldly and said to the open door:
"Your Majesty also underestimates my Snow Moon Scar, right! If a small stand-in can hide it from my eyes, then I Xue Moon Scar would have died under whose knife it was! It does look very similar, but unfortunately it lacks the domineering and majesty that an emperor should have, it is obvious that he is not a real emperor, even if he is the real Heavenly Dragon Emperor, he is just an incompetent emperor, and it is impossible to be favored by the gods and have the qi of a true emperor. And when he looked at the two girls, his eyes showed not pampering, but evasion and respect, which was obviously not the kind of gaze that a father and his closest uncle should have. And although people have the qi of a true emperor, they haven't moved a bit, does Your Majesty think that if I don't have the Holy Throne, I won't be able to perceive the changes around me?"
With a burst of lonely applause, another middle-aged man walked out of the open door, this man looked almost exactly the same as the man who came out before, but he was a little more domineering. Snow Moon Scar nodded at him and said:
"Your Majesty has come in person, I wonder if Your Majesty is in such a hurry to find me, a useless person, is there any urgency?"
Hemmanster said playfully:
"If Your Excellency is a useless person, then I am afraid there are no useful people here. A swordsman who can fight hard with a high-level sword saint plus a light-based holy beast golden-veined holy white tiger who has just been promoted to become a top-level holy beast, I'm afraid that an ordinary junior god-level master would not dare to say that he can win your honor. Although I know that it will not work, I still want to test it, hoping that your Excellency can serve the Celestial Dragon Empire. A Sword Saint who is not a Sword Saint is much more useful than ten Sword Saints, not to mention attaching a top-level Saint Beast Golden Pattern Saint White Tiger?"
Xue Yueji said coldly:
"Knowingly, don't you think it's a little boring to ask Your Majesty? I think as the Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon, Your Majesty should know very well what the purpose of my coming here is? Does Your Majesty think that there are conditions to keep me? I don't have any big wishes anymore, money, status, these things I don't care about for a long time. Is there any other reason why Your Majesty can impress me?"
Hemmanster frowned and said:
"Not really. I once thought I could rely on beautiful women to keep you, but when I saw Miss Yunna, I realized that this solution didn't work. Miss Yun Na's beauty is already comparable to that of the elves and fish people, who are favored by the main god and are known for their beauty, and in terms of beauty, neither my niece Hailan nor my daughter Hai Rou can compare with Miss Yun Na. Moreover, Miss Yun Na has been by your side since the moment Your Excellency appeared, and I do not believe that there is anyone here who can surpass Miss Yun Na in your heart. Otherwise, when Your Excellency was preparing to kill many times, it would not be Miss Yun Na, but someone else would have stopped Your Excellency. Moreover, the golden-veined Saint White Tiger, who didn't even give the face of Grand Duke Veron, could be reprimanded by Miss Yun Na to such an extent, which couldn't help but make people think about how high Miss Yun Na's status was in Your Excellency. ”
Xue Yueji nodded in agreement and said:
"Your Majesty is right, Yun Na and I are from the same place, and I was forced to come here because of my involvement. I owe so much to her. And because of her existence, I have taken a lot of shortcuts on the road to the provincial party committee, and her personality and way of doing things have benefited me a lot. Most importantly, I had promised to protect her until he regained the strength to protect himself, and to use her as a reason to live until he found his way back. As much as it sounds like a joke, I have to keep my promises. I think Your Majesty should know by now that I don't have any need to stay here. I promised the old man to send the two princesses to the Imperial Academy, and now they are safely standing here. I'm going to look for a god-level master, but now there isn't even a single holy position here except for the White Tiger. I've been delayed for too long, and I need to hurry. Now that you've said that, is there anything else Your Majesty has anything to say?"
Hemmanster seemed to have guessed that Snow Moon would reply, and pointed to the seriously injured and unconscious people who fell to the ground, and said:
"Can Your Excellency spare these people? Many of them are elders of high-ranking nobles, and their death would be a great blow to the Empire. ”
Xue Yueji said lightly:
"First of all, Your Majesty's empire has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with me how much your empire has been hit, and it has nothing to do with me as for how much your Majesty's empire will be affected after being hit. Secondly, His Majesty has found the wrong person to save their lives. It wasn't me who wanted to kill them, but my mount, the White Tiger. They have challenged the dignity of the White Tiger Sacred Beast, so if you can save their lives, you should negotiate with the White Tiger, not me. However, I would like to remind Your Majesty that although Your Majesty has been favored by the gods and has the aura of a true emperor, your Majesty's strength may only have just entered the realm of the Great Knight. Before, when the White Tiger was still a high-level holy beast, he couldn't challenge the authority of the gods, and he couldn't hurt His Majesty. But I think to hear the roar of the white tiger just now, Your Majesty should know that the White Tiger is no longer completely restricted by the gods who have given Your Majesty the true emperor's qi, and can challenge Your Majesty. Of course, if His Majesty thinks that the strength of His Majesty's Great Knight Realm, the true emperor's qi and the power of the king can compete with the strength of the White Tiger's top holy position, the domineering of the king in Warcraft and the innate deterrence of the high-level tiger clan, then His Majesty can also have a fair duel with the White Tiger, I think the White Tiger should not refuse. ”
Hemmanster's face changed a few times, and then he looked at Snow Moon Scar, and then at White Tiger, and fell into deep thought. As Snow Moon Scar said, he has lost the qualification to compete with the White Tiger. The god who gave him the aura of the True Emperor was nothing more than a fourth-level priesthood loyal to the Lord God of Light, and the ability of a fourth-level priesthood could only deter high-level holy beasts at most after passing through the blockade of space. It's not that he doesn't want a higher priesthood to give him the aura of a true emperor, but his Heavenly Dragon Empire is big and big, and small and small. There are hundreds of countries on the entire continent, large and small, and the area of the Heavenly Dragon Empire accounts for about one-sixth of the entire continent, which is already very large. However, this continent is the smallest of the five continents, and if the five continents are integrated, the Heavenly Dragon Empire will hardly be ranked. Although it can still be in the top fifteen, how can this power of faith be favored by a higher priesthood?
When Heymanster was worried, he accidentally saw Yun Na, who was standing in front of the white tiger looking at him, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. But Xue Yueji's cold voice shattered his hopes:
"I appreciate that Your Majesty, as an Emperor, knows how to take advantage of all the opportunities available to you, but I can tell Your Majesty that if Your Majesty wants to use Yun Na, it is best to dispel this idea. She is now under my protection, and I will not allow anyone to take advantage of her under any pretext. Not before, not now, and not in the future. ”
Hemmanster said calmly:
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid you misunderstood me, I want to exchange the whereabouts of god-level masters and saint-level masters for the lives of these people, Your Excellency thinks this is okay?"
Xue Yueji nodded, and Hemmanster said:
"Not long ago, two intermediate god-level masters came out to have a duel in the Sea of Death, and all the saint-rank masters and junior god-level masters rushed to watch the ceremony. If you go there, you may even meet more than two intermediate god-level masters. ”
Xue Yueji said lightly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
The next moment, the snow moon mark had already appeared on the back of the white tiger, and he reached out and hugged Yun Na on the back of the white tiger. The white tiger shook his big head and walked leisurely towards the gate of the Imperial Academy. Hyland and Haysoft chased after Hymanster with Hemmanster's tacit approval. Hemmanster swept away the gaffe just now, looked at the back of Xue Yueji with a deep face, and asked:
"Orlan, how likely are you to control him?"
Oran Casot said respectfully:
"Hardly, as the news came from the Grand Duke, he could now enter the Holy Throne at any time. A junior sword master with at least the same strength as a junior god-level master, plus a top-level holy beast, would pose a great threat to the empire. Until there is no way to absolutely control him, I suggest that Your Majesty should not try to control him, and that it is enough to have a good relationship with him and not let him become an enemy of the Empire. ”
Hemmanster's brow furrowed slightly:
"How likely is it to use that Yunna to control him?"
Oran Casot thought for a moment before replying:
"It's the only way to control him at the moment, but it's very unlikely. If he had been stimulated by controlling Yun Na and had entered the Holy Throne, there would have been a complete break between him and the Empire. ”
Hemmanster didn't say anything more and turned away.
