1228: Chapter 363 Lei Yuan 1228: Chapter 363 Lei Yuan This sleep lasted unbelievably long.
Even Su He couldn’t quite distinguish if he was in a coma or asleep.
Drifting slowly, his consciousness was sinking without a trace…
Amid the sinking, he saw two mountain peaks standing side by side, camel-like from every perspective.
But the mountains were barren, without a single sprout of green.
Between the camel humps, outside a mountain cave, lay two White Tigers – one large and one small.
The larger one was over thirty meters long, while the smaller barely exceeded twelve meters and was covered in scars with patchy fur, though the wounds had already scabbed over and the fur was visibly regrowing.
“Princess, this place doesn’t belong to our Western Heaven, does it?” the male tiger questioned, puzzled.
If it wasn’t Western Heaven, it wasn’t under the Great Emperor’s jurisdiction.
Why were they sent here to guard?
“Call me master!” the female tiger glanced at him, “We are generals of the Western Heaven, but also generals of the Heavenly Court.
Isn’t it our duty to follow orders?”
Su He’s consciousness stirred slightly, realizing he was dreaming…
Princess Zhang Wu and White Tiger Zhangxian?
Was this a random dream, or a memory brought by the Tiger Bone?
Su He’s consciousness flickered but he sank back before he could ponder further.
Then he heard Princess Zhang Wi snort at Zhangxian, “What?
Tired of accompanying your master on duty?”
Zhangxian’s forehead almost erupted, “No…
not at all!
But being away from Western Heaven, without the protection of the Great Emperor’s Tiger Might, feels like our path is blocked, unsure of where to find the White Tiger…”
Outside of Western Heaven, not encompassed by the Might of White Tiger, cultivation slowed down.
“Whoa!” Princess Zhang Wu exclaimed in surprise, sizing him up: “Haven’t seen you in days, have you been studying?” Even his speech had become embellished.
Then she snorted, “Putting aside a great job like Mountain King, you chose to read books more?
Come here, looks like mum didn’t hit you enough!”
As she spoke, her body shrank, turning into a robust lady akin to the Mountain King, her regal bearing impressively distinct.
The White Tiger was just stunned, when he saw Princess Zhang Wu’s giant fist, growing larger before his eyes, and then…
Bang!
A muffled sound, and the White Tiger was sent flying, but no sooner had he flew than Princess Zhang Wu grabbed his tail and yanked him back, swinging him around wildly.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The White Tiger tensed his body, silently enduring without a word.
Until Princess Zhang Wu, having satisfied her urge to beat him, tossed him on the ground and stepped onto a nearby rock, poking the crown on his forehead, lecturing, “You little tiger cub, learn to behave!
Following the Path of White Tiger must follow its own Great Tao, otherwise surpassing your father will remain without even a trace of possibility.”
“Hmm?” White Tiger looked up.
Princess, don’t cause trouble!
For ordinary tigers to achieve Proof of the Tao as White Tiger Sacred Beasts is already an extraordinary stroke of Luck.
And yet thinking of surpassing the Great Emperor.
How different is this from any cultivator emerging and claiming they want to surpass the Tian Emperor?
He felt more likely the world would shatter, possibly destroying everything.
“Princess intends to surpass the Great Emperor?”
Princess Zhang Wu sat down, hands behind her head, leaning on White Tiger, gazing up the sky before finally speaking, “Which of those who’ve proved the Tao as White Tiger didn’t wish so?”
Who does not wish to reach further beyond a hundred steps on a pole?
But the father, like a great mountain, looms over every White Tiger.
“That’s tough.” Her gaze shifted towards the Western Heaven, the White Tiger Constellation.
“The world has only this one, father’s White Tiger Constellation has descended, ranking higher than all White Tigers.
To surpass father, one must either follow the Path of Flesh Body, forging a direct route to heaven, or defeat father and forcefully claim the Western Heaven.”
Laughing, Princess Zhang Wu added: “If one could defeat father, would they even need to snatch a domain?
To rank higher than father, only finding another universe and establishing their own White Tiger Constellation would suffice.”
But where would such a new universe come from?
If it truly existed, it surely would be discovered first by the Tian Emperor and the Four Great Emperors.
Below, White Tiger suddenly looked up, turning his head towards the cavity in the middle of the mountain, and whispered, “Princess, could the Netherworld be considered another universe?”
Princess Zhang Wu was momentarily stunned, staring at the cave entrance, her chest heaving wildly.
After a long while, she chuckled, turning back and slapping White Tiger, “Almost got me, you little rascal, disturbing your teacher’s mood.
The Netherworld relies on the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, how could it be an independent universe?”
“Moreover – even the Heavenly Court’s control over the Netherworld is merely superficial, awaiting the Netherworld King’s return.
Even if it were a universe, which White Tiger would dare establish their Star Fate there?”
White Tiger Zhangxian felt disheartened.
Still looking towards the cave, lost in thought.
“Princess couldn’t even let the Great Emperor negotiate with the Netherworld King to permit you to establish your constellation?”
“Of course not!” Princess Zhang Wu stated matter-of-factly: “The Netherworld King is similar to the Tian Emperor, only the Tian Emperor and the Human Realm Tao Master can speak before her.
Not even father!”
Her voice was loud, whether explaining to Zhangxian or reminding herself not to dwell on such impractical thoughts.
After finishing, she glanced sideways at White Tiger: “Thinking so deeply for your teacher, are you perhaps smitten with your own master?”
Zhangxian was like a startled cat, jumping up instantly: “How could I?
Impossible!”
Princess Zhang Wu snorted twice, “Good that you know better, otherwise I’d smash your tiger head!”
“Idiot!”
In a daze, Su He sighed.
Then he felt an angry tug on his body, abruptly rousing him to pain as he opened his eyes to find himself on a Tower Ship, with Ji Feixue gripping his dragon beard nearly lifting him up.
“Ouch ouch ouch!
Wife, that hurts!”
Ji Feixue was completely deaf to his cries, teeth clenched, a cold sneer on her face: “My Little Master really has high Tao Cultivation now, bold enough to not only call Thai Zu ‘Little Tai’ but also directly called me an idiot by name?”
