1198: Chapter 355 Dragon Fights Tiger_3 1198: Chapter 355 Dragon Fights Tiger_3 The previous scene, it was the memory of the White Tiger Bones he had obtained!
Baiyin used this tiger bone as the foundation to grant him the White Tiger’s True Body.
Consciousness returned, the White Tiger Fusion had ended, and he could no longer see the umbilical cord and the White Tiger outside his body.
He only felt an explosive surge in strength, a surge not inferior to reaching the Four-fold Heavens, as if breaking through a grand boundary.
Su He’s consciousness delved into his body and saw that the Sacred Beast Crystal had already lit up with the White Tiger pattern.
The White Tiger roared and tore at the Sacred Beast Crystal, trying to connect with the human figure at the center.
However, the crystal was too sturdy, a single White Tiger was not enough to tear it apart.
Back when he attained the Proof of the Xuan Wu, it was only with Ji Feixue’s help that he succeeded.
But the situation was different now.
Inside the Sacred Beast Crystal, Xuan Wu and Peacock exerted force at the same time, a surge of power broke through the inner walls of the crystal outward, meeting the approaching White Tiger.
The Consciousness Clear Mirror was constantly updating his status.
Status: Healthy, Mating
Boundary Status: Opening Heaven Four-fold (2%)
Human form: Xuan Wu (100%), Vermilion Bird (￥*&), White Tiger (84%), Azure Dragon…
Just like how Xuan Wu was stuck at 84% for a long time, the White Tiger’s progress had been stuck at this rate for an unknown amount of time.
Until Su He woke up, the coordination of Xuan Wu and Peacock caused the progression to spike.
Suddenly, a crisp sound, like crystal shattering, and the passages became completely interconnected.
85%…
87%…
96%…
The progress soared, for an unknown duration.
Then, a tiger’s roar was heard, and Su He flipped his body, vanishing from the spot.
Where he previously stood, a White Tiger over a zhang tall roared as it stood up on two legs.
Its fur was the color of moon white, with a faint hint of ethereal blue exuding from it, as if the Bright Moon had sprinkled silver radiance all over the ground.
Su He lifted his front paw, looked at the immense tiger paw, clenched it like a cat, feeling endless power brewing within his claws.
With a single swipe of this paw, shattering the heavens and the earth would be easy.
Unlike Zhang Xian, Su He’s attainment of the White Tiger Body did not go through Heavenly Tribulation, nor did he have to push open the Fairy Sect’s gates.
Was it a privilege of the Divine God Beast’s attainment, or was something missing from this era?
The coalescing of the White Tiger’s True Body was much easier than that of the Xuan Wu, no need for others’ assistance, it was done in one breath.
Thinking of this, Su He felt a majestic aura emanating from the outside world.
He leaped out and saw an Imperial Edict descending from the heavens, unfurling mid-air upon the planet.
The Imperial Edict revealed its script:
“Tian Emperor decrees: Hereby, a seeker of Tao has proven the White Tiger, congratulated by heaven and earth!
Possessing an Innate Taoist Body, may enter the Heavenly Court…”
Such a familiar scene!
It’s just that it changed from Proof of the Xuan Wu to Proof of the White Tiger.
As the Imperial Edict revealed words letter by letter, Su He had already started shouting: “Wife!”
And there was Ji Feixue, whose figure flashed and landed on the planet, reaching up towards the Imperial Edict.
The Imperial Edict hadn’t revealed half of it yet but suddenly shook and rolled up, breaking air as it fled.
It regretted its decision!
If the Sacred Edict had Spirit Wisdom, it might curse: Not this guy again, using half-finished products to deceive!
As it fled through the air, a delicate hand suddenly intercepted halfway, reaching into the void and grasping it out.
The Imperial Edict struggled, but to no avail.
Eventually, it was suppressed by Ji Feixue with a single palm, and sealed.
Ji Feixue’s figure floated down, landing next to Su He, forcibly spread the Imperial Edict.
Su He turned into his human form and laughed: “Stay!
Where do you think you’re going?
Can’t I, the exalted Heavenly Court’s Royal Son-in-law, accept a single Imperial Edict?”
Ji Feixue gave him a white glance.
The Imperial Edict trembled, forcefully stretched open, uncontrollably revealing the writing on top.
“Tian Emperor decrees: Hereby, a seeker of Tao…may enter the Heavenly Court, be appointed as Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant, subjected to later evaluation, for consideration of promotion or demotion…”
The Imperial Edict twisted and struggled at this point, refusing to reveal further content, even if it had to tear itself apart.
Ji Feixue tapped with her spear-like finger, releasing the seal.
The Imperial Edict swiftly rolled up into a scroll and dashed towards the sky.
After a moment, a set of armor drifted down from the sky, accompanied by a Waist Tag, Waist Sword, regular clothes, court attire…
a multitude of treasures in all.
Su He looked at Ji Feixue, who smiled lightly.
“As Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant, you are a sixth-rank Wusan Officer.
Being directly a sixth-rank as a novice for proving the White Tiger, Little Master has made a great profit.”
Wusan Officers have a rank without a post.
Having a Feng Lu but with no specific tasks to do, perhaps like the original Great Sage Equal to Heaven?
Merely a title.
Proving the White Tiger naturally classified him as a Military Officer, but whereas cultivation and work differed, once he took up the position of a Wusan Officer and entered the Heavenly Court, it was truly the probationary period.
Promotions and demotions were determined based on capability, character, and merit.
There should have been something more important following the Imperial Edict, but since the Imperial Edict was sentient, it refused to reveal any more by tearing itself apart.
On the pristine white Waist Tag, the front was smooth as a mirror, the back etched with the two characters for ‘Su He,’ below which were the three archaic characters for ‘Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant,’ no more than that, just some decorative auspicious clouds.
The Armor and Waist Sword were standard issued Magic Artifacts.
Just right for those elites in the Stepping Sky Seven-fold, but somewhat lacking for Su He.
“Thanks to my lady!” Su He said with a smile as he collected the items.
“Congratulations, Little Master, on advancing another step in your Tao Cultivation!” Ji Feixue congratulated him with a smile.
The journey back had just achieved the Opening Heaven Four-fold, and turning around, he had condensed the White Tiger’s True Body.
This traversal through space and time, if Little Master can fully grasp it, would be the greatest progression in history.
Condensing a Sacred Beast’s true form was akin to a boundary breakthrough, with even greater potential.
Su He smoothly wrapped his arm around her waist and laughed softly, “Then…
my lady, do you have a reward for me?”
Ji Feixue pressed her slender jade finger on his chin, pushing him away slightly, with her beguiling fox-like eyes and a plaintive voice said, “Alone guarding for 730,000 years, suffering from poverty and hardship, anxiously awaiting my Little Master’s return to rely on, where would I have extra treasures to give to Little Master…”
Her voice grew fainter, carrying a touch of grievance.
