Covering the Sky: I am the White Tiger Immortal Elixir

After leaving Zishan, Bai Qi headed straight for a desolate wilderness.

Jiang Taixu, on the other hand, went to the starry sky to begin his own tribulation to become a saint.

The power within him had already reached its critical point. After comprehending the Great Dao in the starry sky, the heavenly tribulation almost relentlessly attacked him.

In contrast, Bai Qi took out nine drops of Taiyin Cold Blood and used them to break through to the second realm of the Four Extremes.

Nine drops of cold blood floated in front of him, each drop crystal clear and emitting a faint, cold light.

In the first realm of the Four Extremes, he cultivated his right arm, the Yin-connecting arm, perfecting the killing intent of the Autumn Harvest White Tiger.

Now, in order to break through to the second realm, he has chosen to cultivate his left leg and open the Winter Hidden Xuanwu.

Winter is the end of the year, the time when all things come to an end and begin anew.

"To hide" means to gather or collect; when all things return to stillness, one's essence and vital energy are guarded within.

Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) governs water and represents the Yin (the yin) element.

Bai Qi's cultivation at this stage is not about killing and fighting, but about accumulating strength.

The Autumn Harvest White Tiger signifies the harvest, the end, and the sigh that follows the fulfillment of all things.

The Black Tortoise, which hibernates in winter, gathers all its essence after the harvest and seals it deep within its origin, waiting for the next year's flourishing. It appears quiet, but in reality, there are undercurrents surging.

Nine drops of Taiyin Cold Blood swirled around, and Bai Qi opened his mouth and inhaled, taking the first drop into his abdomen.

The moment the cold blood entered his body, Bai Qi felt the entire tiger freeze.

A layer of frost instantly formed on Bai Qi's eyebrows and hair, and his breath turned into ice crystals that fell down.

He forced himself to move, using his left hand to perform the Four Symbols Fist using the "Fighting" secret technique, and his right hand to unleash the "Sun and Moon Falling Together" technique.

The Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda resonated with him, capturing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and assisting Bai Qi in comprehending the Four Seasons Mysterious Unity Combat Technique.

Nine drops of cold blood, each drop colder than the last.

The wind on the wasteland stopped, as if frozen to death by the cold.

Bai Qi's breathing became extremely slow, with an interval of one incense stick's time between each breath.

His heartbeat slowed down.

The pulse rate drops from 70-80 beats per minute in a normal person to 30 beats per minute, then to 5 beats per minute, and finally becomes almost imperceptible.

If he weren't still moving, anyone who saw him would definitely think he was a corpse.

Bai Qi's physical functions had dropped to their lowest point, but his senses were sharper than ever before.

He felt as if he had become a seed, buried under frozen soil, seemingly lifeless, but actually nurturing.

The killing intent accumulated during the autumn harvest is too strong. If it is not tempered by the burying power of winter, it will harm itself sooner or later.

Bai Qi sank deeper and deeper, becoming slower and slower.

His figure moved across the wasteland sometimes as fast as lightning, sometimes as slow as a snail.

The true meaning of the Black Tortoise in winter gradually takes shape between this fast and slow pace.

Fast means killing, harvesting, and ending.

Slow is accumulation, restraint, and gestation.

Fast within slow, slow within fast – this is the complete form of the Black Tortoise in winter.

Bai Qi's movements slowed down more and more until he was almost still on the wasteland.

He closed his eyes, stopped breathing, and could not hear his heartbeat, as if he had turned into an ancient ice sculpture.

But the Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda and the White Tiger Battle Armor were glowing.

Two divine rays, one purple and one white, intertwined and entwined, forming a hazy halo around Bai Qi.

For a full two weeks, Bai Qi remained completely still.

The wind on the wasteland stopped and rose again, rose and stopped again, repeating this countless times.

Occasionally, birds and beasts would pass by, but sensing the chill of the place, they would detour from a distance.

The Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda transformed into a mark imprinted between his brows, and the golden patterns on the White Tiger Battle Suit dimmed.

Another half month passed, and suddenly dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by thunder.

Bai Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out from his eyes, piercing through the void.

He rose to face the minor tribulation of the second stage of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

When a cultivator breaks through a major realm, they will face a major tribulation.

Breaking through a small step within the same major realm will attract a minor heavenly tribulation.

Now that he has broken through to the second realm of the Four Extremes, the minor heavenly tribulation has arrived as scheduled, but its scale is much smaller than the major heavenly tribulation of the past.

This "smaller" is relative; for others, it would undoubtedly be a great tribulation leading to dragon transformation.

Lightning bolts cascaded down like a waterfall, engulfing Bai Qi in a vast, blazing white ocean.

In the end, Bai Qi successfully broke through to the next realm, the lightning gradually subsided, and the world returned to its clear state.

"Huh, it seems like we've gained another forbidden combatant."

Bai Qi clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, becoming increasingly confident in his deductions.

The seasons change, and each place becomes a forbidden zone.

When he achieves perfect harmony in the four cardinal directions and completes the connection between the four seasons, the eight prohibitions will naturally follow.

The Eight Forbidden Realms are legendary to ordinary cultivators, allowing them to fight across eight minor realms.

As for divine prohibitions... that's mythology.

The Divine Forbidden Zone is a realm that only gods can reside in for a long time. It breaks through the Eight Forbidden Zones, enters the extreme number of nine, and even surpasses nine, and cannot be broken for all eternity.

This is a forbidden realm, breaking through all constraints and elevating people to near godhood; only the ancient emperors could reside within it.

To enter the Divine Forbidden Realm, a cultivator needs a combination of factors, including extremely high talent, a profound understanding of the Dao, and special opportunities.

This is the prestigious extra ride area.

"That's not good..."

If each realm has its own restriction, wouldn't that mean that before mastering the divine restriction, one can no longer use the "All" secret technique?

Ah, my tenfold fighting power!

If other cultivators knew about his idea, they would probably be so angry they would vomit blood.

Others spend their entire lives trying to even touch the threshold of the Five Prohibitions.

He's got six forbidden techniques before even reaching the fourth level, yet he still complains that he's too strong.

That's as annoying as a billionaire complaining that they have too much money and it's too much trouble to count it.

"It doesn't matter. With the Four Seasons Mysterious Unity Fighting Technique, it's okay if I can't use the All Word Secret for the time being."

As Bai Qi pondered, he flew toward the village where Master Zhang was located.

After surviving the minor tribulation, he gained a great deal.

He has fully mastered the Yin-based killing technique of the Sun and Moon Falling Together Fist, a result he achieved by using Taiyin Cold Blood.

The sun and moon set together; the sun represents Yang, and the moon represents Yin.

When this punch is unleashed, both Yin and Yang forces collapse simultaneously, resulting in destruction on a physical level and a collapse on a legal level.

Bai Qi has only mastered the Yin aspect so far, and what he unleashed was less like the sun and moon falling together and more like the lonely moon shining alone.

Even so, the power of this martial art is astonishing.

"Only when the fire of the Fire Domain is used, combined with the nine Emperor characters in the Divine Furnace of the Departing Fire, can the sun and moon fall together, thus truly entering the path."

Bai Qi made his calculations as he flew.

He planned to sell all these ancient creatures and then return to the Southern Region.

It's about time; it's time to go to Weidu and establish a karmic connection with Duan De.

Zhang Wuye's village wasn't far from where he was undergoing his tribulation; at Bai Qi's speed, he could arrive in a day.

When Bai Qi arrived, he could see a large crowd gathered at the village entrance from afar.

A black, tailless dog with its tail wagging like a windmill, and a whole roasted lamb in its mouth, was running around at the entrance of the village.

"Woof!"

Black Emperor was the first to spot Bai Qi. He abandoned the roasted whole lamb and ran over on all fours.

"My kindred spirit! I've finally found you!"
