Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 427 Coming out of seclusion
The incarnation of the Power Emperor did not appear, but since the White Tiger was indeed a promising contender, even if he was not as good as he was back then, he was definitely qualified to prove himself.

The reason why the White Tiger is not performing as well now is mainly because the scriptures he is studying, although exquisite, are too complicated, and he has not been able to integrate them perfectly.

Of course, failing to develop one's own innate physical constitution is also a reason. After all, the legendary White Tiger lineage has indeed become extinct in the human universe, with almost no survivors.

The Emperor Li had some knowledge of the origins of physical constitution, so his incarnation subtly began to guide the white tiger to further develop its bloodline.

After this transformative enhancement, he will be able to go even further and fully unleash his imperial potential.

As Baihu received the inheritance from Lihuang and continuously combined the ancient scriptures he had acquired in an attempt to advance further, Xuan Gui also passed the ninth level.

Although he was slower at first, he became faster and faster in the later levels. Although the White Tiger entered much earlier than him, and the Black Tortoise deliberately studied each level in great detail, they still passed the ninth level almost at the same time.

However, the Xuan Turtle did not immediately enter the immortal liquid to begin its evolution. Instead, it cultivated and digested what it had just gained. Therefore, the Power Emperor's avatar went to take care of the White Tiger first.

After all, to the Power Emperor, ordinary Dao-proving practitioners were nothing special in his eyes, let alone those who merely had the potential to prove the Dao.

But when the Xuan Turtle truly entered the Immortal Liquid to digest the results and receive the Power Emperor's inheritance, the Power Emperor's avatar was immediately alarmed once again.

As the Xuan Turtle continued to evolve, the Power Emperor's avatar sensed the unique aura of Jade Flower Divine Island. Clearly, this Xuan Turtle was a native of Jade Flower Divine Island and possessed the strongest Jade Flower Divine Blood the Power Emperor had ever seen.

Moreover, although the array diagram on the back of this black tortoise was a manifestation of its innate supernatural power, the Power Emperor avatar still sensed the divine essence of the Heavenly Evolution Array Diagram that his master, Lingbao Tianzun, had specially arranged for him.

Upon further observation, the complete Lingbao Dao Jing he cultivated and the Yuhua Xian Jing hidden in his bloodline were naturally sensed by the Power Emperor's incarnation.

All these signs indicate that this Xuan Turtle is very likely another disciple of Lingbao Tianzun, his junior brother. Considering that there is even a Xuanwu Immortal Elixir, or the Elixir of Immortality, on Yuhua Divine Island, this Xuan Turtle's future path is indeed bright.

The avatar of the Power Emperor was naturally overjoyed, as this was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Therefore, he deliberately influenced and adjusted the cultivation of the Black Tortoise, allowing it to come into deeper contact with the Jade Flower Divine Blood, thereby further strengthening its own bloodline power.

As the Dao diagram behind him continued to evolve, all the methods contained in the countless array patterns of the past were deduced by the Xuan Turtle and transformed into runes that were imprinted on his shell, making it even more mysterious.

However, the Xuan Turtle's foundation was still slightly deeper, so the White Tiger completed its cultivation first and thus emerged from seclusion.

The White Tiger has now become a Demon Saint, and his potential has exploded, far surpassing his former self. After all, he has not only further perfected his Dao, but also further developed his bloodline and physique.

He was extremely confident that he could defeat everyone on the ancient star of Gouchen. Perhaps, with just a little more preparation, he could embark on the ancient path through the starry sky and move towards becoming invincible for life.

Of course, because the array patterns here obscure the secrets of heaven, the White Tiger's tribulation to become a saint has not yet arrived. But as soon as he leaves this place, the tribulation will come.

However, although he had completed his cultivation, the array did not seem to intend to release him immediately.

At this moment, the Power Emperor manifested himself before the White Tiger. Although he was merely a deity of this great formation, his supreme power naturally arose.

The white tiger sensed this aura and immediately cupped its hands, saying, "Greetings, Senior Power Emperor." The Power Emperor's avatar said, "Your talent is quite good. If it were another era, you would have a high probability of attaining enlightenment, but in this life, it will be somewhat difficult."

"Although I am just an avatar, I can promise you that I can do something for you or answer a question for you."

Having encountered the Black Tortoise, the White Tiger's chances of attaining enlightenment are probably not high. However, he is indeed quite talented, which is why the Power Emperor's incarnation also took a liking to his talent.

Baihu was taken aback upon hearing this. Could it be that someone in this life was stronger than him? If it were someone else, Baihu would naturally not accept it, but this was the incarnation of the Power Emperor, so the possibility was very high.

But for some reason, the image of that black tortoise suddenly flashed through his mind.

However, it was clear that the avatar of the Power Emperor did not intend to explain in detail, so the White Tiger suppressed his distracting thoughts, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Senior Power Emperor, could you please guide me on the path to immortality?"

The avatar of the Power Emperor laughed and said, "Are you sure you want to ask this question?"

The White Tiger nodded in agreement. So what if he couldn't attain enlightenment in this life? He could simply seal his own destiny and seek enlightenment in a future life. Wasn't that what the previous emperors did?
And he hasn't given up. The road ahead is long, and even if he's behind now, he might catch up in the future.

As for guidance in spiritual practice, he has absolute confidence in his own path to enlightenment and needs no guidance from others.

The Power Emperor, in his avatar, pointed a finger at his brow and said, "If you can attain the Dao, or achieve it through another method, then the path to immortality will naturally become clear."

He sealed several methods for achieving immortality within the White Tiger's altar; anyone with sufficient cultivation would learn this information.

Then, the avatar of the Power Emperor added, "However, you can remember one thing now: try your best to maintain a good relationship with the Kunlun clan. They have things you will need in the future."

The one Li Huang was referring to was naturally the White Tiger Immortality Elixir. Whether the White Tiger wanted to use it to live another life or to study the laws contained within it to evolve into a true Immortal White Tiger, he needed this divine medicine.

Given Ying Shenxiao's immense strength and extensive network of connections, forcibly seizing the item was out of the question. Therefore, they could only rely on cultivating relationships, which is why Li Huang said that.

Baihu was taken aback by what he heard, but before he could figure out what Lihuang meant, his vision blurred and he found himself in the outside world.

Immediately, a vast sea of ​​lightning gathered together, and the great calamities of the sun, moon, five elements, and chaos churned within it, seemingly about to destroy the world.

The Demon Lord reacted swiftly, unleashing a divine wind with a flick of his sleeve, blowing the White Tiger to a vast, uninhabited area. He also reinforced the surrounding landscape to prevent it from being destroyed by the massive lightning tribulation.

The sheer scale of the White Tiger's tribulation ascent naturally startled these powerful demons. Especially upon closer inspection, they discovered that the White Tiger had actually undergone three tribulations in a row, demonstrating the depth of its power.

One of the Great Sages sighed, "This child is quite extraordinary. He may be the second Emperor of Strength and could become the future hope of our demon race. Shouldn't we establish him as the divine son of this generation?"

The Demon Lord withdrew his gaze and looked at the Myriad Demon Cave, saying, "There is still one of my demon clan members who has not come out. Perhaps there will be a surprise?"
