Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1222 - 534: White Tiger Hall
As soon as the words were spoken, the altar suddenly trembled.
The spear burst forth with blinding silver light, startling everyone to retreat.
Li Yunjing felt an invisible pressure coming at him.
The "White Tiger Order" in his palm emanated a faint glow, resonating with the spear.
This made Li Yunjing’s heart skip a beat, but it’s not the right time to study the spear.
Li Yunjing wanted to wait until he had met the high-ranking members of the "White Tiger Hall" first.
Following the spiraling white jade staircase, everyone arrived at the Stargazing Pavilion in the second courtyard.
The entire west wall was a whole piece of translucent jade wall, projecting a star map at this moment, with the white tiger among the Twenty-Eight Constellations shimmering with an unusual scarlet.
Li Yunjing noticed twelve bronze beast heads placed at the corner of the wall, each holding a roll of yellowed jade scroll in its mouth.
As he approached, the leftmost white tiger beast head suddenly opened its bronze eyes, the jade scroll flew into his hand, and unfolded to reveal the long-lost "White Tiger Swallow Heaven Manual" fragment.
"Hall Master, please look!"
The guard pointed to the floating sand table in the center of the pavilion. That sand table was forged with live mountains and waters, between the continuous hundred-mile mountain range, silver-armored soldiers surged like swarms, with the shadow of three heads and six arms faintly visible in the clouds and mist.
"This is the real-time battle array projection of thirty thousand elite of the White Tiger Hall."
The guard explained, "Each light point represents a cultivator, while the shadows are the Hall Master’s direct ’Tiangang War Guards’."
Just then, a thunderous vibration came from the ground, and the entire building began to tilt.
Li Yunjing looked up to see the dome slowly cracking open, revealing a massive bronze mechanism above.
It was a mechanical white tiger composed of thirty-six palaces!
Its eyes were two operating Spirit Gathering Arrays, with its gigantic mouth opening and closing, swallowing and exhaling surging spiritual power, and its tiger tail extended into nine thunder light chains, the ends of which were connected to the roaring sound coming from deep underground.
"This is..."
Li Yunjing’s throat tightened.
"The White Tiger Hall’s ultimate weapon, the ’Thunder Devour Sky Array’."
The guard’s voice was reverent, "Upon activation, it can invoke the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, turning a thousand miles into scorched earth. But ever since the old Hall Master fell three hundred years ago, no one has been able to activate it..."
His words abruptly stopped because the "White Tiger Order" in Li Yunjing’s hand was now blazing brightly.
The eye sockets of the entire mechanical white tiger suddenly lit up with blood-colored thunder light.
As a puppet master, Li Yunjing had quite studied these things.
The mechanical white tiger in front of him was Tier Four Peak grade, naturally beyond his creation capabilities.
But studying it slightly was no problem.
As for whether he could activate it in the future, Li Yunjing needed to try to find out.
The pressure of the mechanical white tiger had not yet dissipated when Li Yunjing heard uniform footsteps coming from ahead.
At the corner, twelve "Profound Iron Palace Lamps" automatically lit up, illuminating the staircase in detail.
When the last step disappeared into darkness, over a hundred commanders wearing silver armor adorned with white tiger patterns had already assembled in the hall, with three figures in the center as deep as mountains, their Nascent Soul pressures formed substantial chains, seemingly weighing the entire building slightly downward.
The elderly man in the gray robe stroked his waist-length beard, his eyes gleaming with cold light, scrutinizing Li Yunjing: "The new Hall Master indeed has extraordinary skills, to be able to stir the ’Thunder Devour Sky Array’ upon entry."
"Three hundred years without anyone being able to activate the mechanical white tiger, wouldn’t the Hall Master be a puppet master?"
The red-clothed woman on the right brushed her finger across the soft whip at her waist, similarly sizing up Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing placed the White Tiger Order in his sleeve and glanced at the waist badges hanging from everyone.
The pupils of these beast badges seemed to be slightly turning, evidently some sort of surveillance puppets.
"The three Nascent Soul Elders overpraise."
He raised his hand lightly, looked indifferent, "I have achieved somewhat in the puppet domain; temporarily, I can refine Tier Three ’Puppet Mechanism Beast’, perhaps someday, I may be promoted to great master and activate the mechanical white tiger."
"Enough! No need to ask! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
A young-looking man on the left said deeply: "Since the new Hall Master has arrived, take the Hall Master to see the ’White Tiger Army’ in the Secret Realm of ’White Tiger Hall,’ familiarize yourself, and hand over power!"
This person was likewise a Nascent Soul cultivator!
"May I ask how to address the three seniors?"
Li Yunjing nodded to the young man, asking with a smile.
Now, he conversed with the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators without his past trepidation, appearing more carefree.
"I am Tie Xin, presiding over the ’White Tiger Hall’ prison for three millennia."
The elderly man in the gray robe curled the fingers in his sleeve slightly, introducing himself.
"I am Chi Lian’Er, in charge of the ’War Supply Depot’; if the Hall Master desires to audit accounts, you may find me!"
The red-clothed woman’s soft whip moved on its own, her phoenix eyes full of menace, her cold voice rang out.
"Mo Xuan, first commander of the White Tiger Army."
The young man finished speaking, pointing to those Golden Core realm commanders behind him, "Those are all commanders of the ’White Tiger Hall’. As for those absent, they are either in closed-life training or scattered everywhere."
"Greetings to the three Supreme Elders!"
Li Yunjing nodded and bowed in salute.
That’s it; after all, he was now the "White Tiger Hall’s" Hall Master, wielding all power, his status above the three great Nascent Soul experts.
After circling the "White Tiger Hall," Li Yunjing, flanked by the three Supreme Elders, led over a hundred Golden Core realm commanders to the front of two bronze giant doors.
"Han Feng! Go open the door!"
Tie Xin instructed.
"Yes!"
The Golden Core commander named Han Feng stepped out from the queue, "creak-creak" pushed the colossal door open.
Once the ancient rune-engraved bronze giant door was opened, a bitter chill rushed forth.
