Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 454 White Tiger Emperor

The white tiger in Kunlun Immortal Mountain breathed a sigh of relief after sensing that the Heavenly Emperor's son had failed to attain enlightenment again. However, the process itself also amazed the white tiger.

Although what appeared during the tribulation was merely a phantom formed by the Emperor's mark within the Emperor's son's body, its strength was still terrifying. At least, Baihu himself had absolutely no confidence in surviving this tribulation.

This also fully illustrates the difficulty of having two emperors from the same lineage.

However, he did not have such a mark in his body, so the White Tiger only sighed for a moment before preparing to be born and attain enlightenment.

He lived for thousands of years before he became emperor, presiding over the affairs of the Kunlun clan while cultivating his own Taoist arts and the Kunlun Immortal Scripture in order to advance further. In fact, he was already five thousand years old.

The White Tiger's bloodline and lifespan are inferior to those of the Black Tortoise Emperor, so even though he has achieved enlightenment through an unorthodox method, it is unlikely that he will live for more than ten thousand years. Even if he attains enlightenment, his lifespan is unlikely to exceed fifteen thousand years.

Therefore, for him, who is now five thousand years old, attaining enlightenment is indeed something he must accomplish as soon as possible. In another one or two thousand years, he will face the predicament of declining vitality, at which point attaining enlightenment will become even more difficult.

Although he, as the ruler of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, possesses the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality, proving himself as an empress and extending his life once more is clearly more cost-effective. After all, even after achieving enlightenment, he still has a direction for continued exploration and progress. At that time, time will be life itself.

However, at this moment, the White Tiger finally realized the message left by the Black Tortoise Emperor.

There are essentially two pieces of information here. One is that he should do everything in his power to cultivate the Kunlun Immortal Scripture, thereby striving for a chance to transform. After all, this is indeed the only method he has a chance of achieving transformation.

Baihu had already begun cultivating the Kunlun Immortal Scripture after his marriage to Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and had achieved remarkable results. Therefore, he would have continued to persist in this even if Xuanwu Emperor had not reminded him.

Of course, this is mainly because although he did not come from Kunlun Immortal Mountain and did not have Kunlun Immortal Blood, he still had a very high degree of compatibility with Kunlun Immortal Mountain, similar to the Power Emperor and Jade Flower Divine Island, and the Underworld Emperor and the Underworld.

Although the Kunlun clan, which originally existed in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, took the form of various strange beasts and immortal spirits, a closer examination of their bloodline reveals that they do not possess a distinct racial bloodline, but only the blood of the Kunlun immortals.

Although the various tribes of the Kunlun clan are completely different races, their bloodline power is actually of the same origin and highly similar.

Either these races are just bloodless clones created by the human universe, like the White Tiger, or they have been transformed by the Kunlun Immortal Blood nurtured by Kunlun Immortal Mountain for countless years, thus becoming similar in form but different in spirit.

Regardless of its origin, the Kunlun Immortal Blood is the foundation of this clan. Since the White Tiger can condense the Kunlun Immortal Blood through cultivating the Kunlun Immortal Scripture, he is a member of the Kunlun clan.

This was largely the reason he became the Lord of Kunlun.

Now that he knows this scripture can also transform him once more, the White Tiger is even more determined to cultivate it more deeply.

As for the second reason, it was that Emperor Xuanwu decided to embark on the path of becoming an Earth Immortal.

This surprised Baihu slightly, but upon closer reflection, it was indeed a decision that Xuanwu Emperor would make.

Back then, the incarnation of the Power Emperor had instilled several methods of achieving immortality into his body, which were not fully revealed until he attained enlightenment in an unorthodox way.

Given Xuanwu Emperor's personality, the path he will most likely take is either to become a mortal immortal or an earth immortal. However, becoming a mortal immortal is extremely difficult and practically impossible, so becoming an earth immortal is indeed Xuanwu Emperor's most probable choice.

The White Tiger broke free from the seal of the Immortal Source. After learning about the general deeds of his good brother, the Black Tortoise Emperor, he knew that the Black Tortoise Emperor had most likely embarked on the path of Earth Immortals and begun the third stage of his exploration. Perhaps he would see the Black Tortoise Emperor again after he attained enlightenment. Next, he also paid attention to his descendants. The White Tiger tribe, which had grown significantly within the Kunlun clan over the years, had become one of the major tribes of the Kunlun clan.

Then, the White Tiger traveled far into the starry sky to begin its tribulation.

The Emperor's son had only recently failed, and now the second one to attain enlightenment has arrived, leaving countless geniuses feeling disappointed and with no choice but to seal themselves off.

Although the White Tiger's ascension to the Dao wasn't as terrifying as the Heavenly Emperor's son's, it was still quite a spectacle. Most importantly, the White Tiger didn't have the Heavenly Emperor's mark as an obstacle, so his success rate was naturally much higher than the Heavenly Emperor's son's.

Amidst a sea of ​​thunder, the White Tiger revealed its true form. Suddenly, a white divine tiger, larger than any star, appeared in the starry sky, stirring up endless lightning and manifesting boundless blood and qi, as if an ancient god had descended to earth, or a god of war and slaughter.

His roar shook the world and caused countless creatures to submit, as if he were the supreme ruler of all beasts, radiating an inexplicable pressure.

Even when separated by countless billions of miles, countless beings from among the stars still involuntarily kneel down in submission.

The white tiger floated in the sea of ​​thunder, shattering the celestial spirit shadows formed from bolts of lightning. Its aura grew ever more vast and increasingly in harmony with the human universe.

After a long while, the sea of ​​thunder slowly dissipated, and the white tiger transformed into human form. A white-haired young Taoist stood in the void, combining his Dao aura with the Heavenly Heart Mark, causing all the myriad paths of the universe to protect his Dao and regard it as the supreme law.

As the aura of the Great Dao continued to spread and condensed into one with the entire human universe, the White Tiger successfully attained enlightenment and became another emperor of the new era, revered by all races in the world as the White Tiger Emperor.

He was originally a unique species born in the human universe to replicate the form of the immortal white tiger, so this name is quite fitting.

Moreover, the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality is located on Kunlun Immortal Mountain. After the research conducted by the Kunlun Immortal Emperor Ying Shenxiao in the past, as well as his own research on the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality, which was extremely close to him, the White Tiger Emperor was very certain that this White Tiger Elixir of Immortality indeed contained the original secrets of a true immortal spirit white tiger.

Therefore, he may have the opportunity to use the secrets within to evolve himself into a true white tiger and become a true immortal spirit.

So this title is actually a kind of goal for his future.

With both factors combined, the White Tiger Emperor was naturally very satisfied with this title.

However, from this perspective, the White Tiger Emperor and the Black Tortoise Emperor are indeed very similar.

They all have a high affinity with a wondrous place, and have the opportunity to undergo a transformation by utilizing its fundamental laws; moreover, they also possess immortality elixirs corresponding to themselves, which they can use to explore ways to evolve themselves into immortal spirits.

In other words, their future paths even have a lot in common.

However, Emperor Xuanwu possessed powerful Jade Flower Divine Blood and extremely strong innate abilities for deduction from the beginning, so it was much easier for him to complete his transformation with the help of the Jade Flower Immortal Scripture than for Emperor Baihu.

After adjusting its aura, the White Tiger King headed towards the depths of the universe.
