Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 728: The Sacred Beast White Tiger
Chapter 728: The Sacred Beast White Tiger
...
"Qiongqi, how does it feel inside there?"
Chen Huaian shook the bottle.
Qiongqi's surprised voice quickly came from within.
"Senior, it's incredibly comfortable in here! My injuries are healing rapidly, I feel like I'll be able to come out and fight soon!"
Chen Huaian: "..."
Come out and fight?
Fight and then go back in?
Is this some kind of Pokémon situation!?
"Just stay inside properly. The outside world is dangerous, don't think about coming out."
Before Qiongqi could respond, Chen Huaian stored the Purple Gold Gourd into his Storage Ring.
Next was dealing with the fresh and juicy White Tiger.
Chen Huaian walked toward the Sacred Beast White Tiger with his sword in hand.
One could only say that a physical shell was just a physical shell—it had the appearance of a sacred beast but lacked the divine essence.
Even when facing the greatest threats, a true sacred beast would never cower in a corner trembling like this White Tiger shell.
"I hope Qilin's pill formula proves effective."
Chen Huaian took out a Celestial-grade Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill.
Generally, any pill with the "Nine Revolutions" prefix was exceptionally powerful.
Like the Nine-Turn Union Bliss Pill he took when dual cultivating with Li Qingran—that pill's effects lasted incredibly long.
Not only did it enhance the speed of spiritual energy exchange during dual cultivation, but it also made both parties develop a deep appreciation for the practice, wanting to dual cultivate whenever they met.
This resulted in him having to battle Li Qingran three hundred rounds daily. Fortunately, he had his Nascent Soul foundation, otherwise he wouldn't be able to handle the intensity Li Qingran was giving him.
Anyone with slightly lower strength would have collapsed from exhaustion.
As for pill quality, Celestial-grade and Saint Grade were the highest tiers, often producing special effects far beyond the pill's normal potency limits.
Take this pill for example.
An ordinary Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill could only heal injuries.
But the Celestial-grade version could gather souls, making it particularly suitable for situations like the White Tiger shell that contained fragments of the White Tiger's remnant soul.
As long as the White Tiger's remnant soul still existed somewhere between heaven and earth, this Celestial-grade pill could help collect the remaining soul fragments.
Ultimately completing the White Tiger's soul, then repairing its body to fully resurrect the White Tiger.
"Don't be afraid, This Venerable One is here to save you."
The White Tiger shell, corrupted by the gray gas and left with only violent instincts, still had eyes filled with chaos and fear.
It emitted threatening low growls from its throat, its massive body instinctively shrinking back.
Its gaze fell upon the pill in Chen Huaian's hand, filled with wariness and resistance.
Until a strange medicinal fragrance drifted into its nostrils.
The White Tiger shell's pupils, which had been narrowed to pinpricks, suddenly widened!
A craving originating from the deepest levels of life instantly overwhelmed all violence and wariness!
Its growls gradually softened, crimson eyes fixed intently on that small pill.
Its broad nostrils flared rapidly, greedily inhaling the scent that made its very soul tremble.
An instinctual intuition screamed wildly:
Eat it!
Eating it would free it from this endless suffering and chaos!
Yet, the wariness inherent to powerful demon beasts, combined with the distrust bred from long-term gray gas corruption, made it hesitate.
Massive tiger paws anxiously scraped the ground, leaving deep claw marks.
It looked at the pill, then at Chen Huaian, its eyes torn between extreme craving and lingering fear.
Chen Huaian didn't rush it, simply maintaining his pill-holding posture while gazing back with gentle yet firm eyes.
Finally, the desire for "rebirth" completely overwhelmed the fear.
The White Tiger shell tentatively took a small step forward, carefully bringing its head closer to Chen Huaian's hand.
Lin Fan rested his right hand on his sword hilt, ready to immediately intervene if the White Tiger shell made any suspicious moves.
However, nothing happened.
The White Tiger shell merely extended its rough tongue and very lightly licked the edge of the pill.
Boom!
A gentle yet vast life energy instantly spread from its tongue tip throughout its entire body.
It even momentarily dispersed some of the gray gas gloom entwined around its divine soul core, bringing unprecedented comfort.
The crimson in its eyes seemed to dim momentarily.
This feeling... was too wonderful!
The last trace of hesitation completely vanished. The White Tiger shell suddenly opened its mouth wide, its tongue sweeping the golden-glowing immortal pill into its mouth. The pill dissolved upon entry, transforming into a warm, rich torrent that instantly surged through the White Tiger shell's entire body, rushing straight toward the gray gas-entangled, nearly depleted and shattered divine soul core.
Hum—!!!
A strange hum erupted from within the White Tiger shell.
Immediately after, a golden halo containing sacred aura spread out in all directions like ripples from a stone thrown into calm water.
Centered on the White Tiger shell, it silently expanded outward.
This halo was sacred, warm, and carried an auspicious aura.
Wherever it passed, the gloomy killing intent permeating the Demon Sealing Pagoda's bottom floor rapidly retreated like melting snow and ice.
The ground and walls eroded by gray gas seemed to radiate with a trace of vitality.
And this was merely the beginning.
Roar—!!!
The entire Demon Sealing Pagoda, no, it seemed the entire world, echoed with a tiger's roar filled with majesty and sorrow.
This roar didn't come from the physical shell before them, but from the depths of the void, from the river of time, from every corner of Earth Star.
...
At the C Province Exorcist Division, Chen Niu—who had just arrived at the entrance planning to release Wu E from the formation—suddenly changed expression.
This auspicious aura...
It was the aura of those rebellious descendants of the Ancestral Dragon lineage, enemies of the Celestial God Clan lords.
He faintly sensed that something unfavorable was happening.
Without bothering to release Wu E, he immediately soared into the air, flying swiftly toward the source of this unsettling aura.
...
Meanwhile, at the Demon Sealing Pagoda.
Countless white light points of varying strength and completeness, as if answering a supreme summons,
emerged from the void, from the earth's depths, from between distant stars...
They gathered like fireflies returning to nest, or like a reverse-flowing star river, carrying ancient sacred auras, piercing through space, ignoring all obstacles, madly converging toward the White Tiger shell wrapped in golden light at the Demon Sealing Pagoda's bottom floor.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Light points poured into the White Tiger shell like rain.
With each light point absorbed, the gray gas on the White Tiger shell dissipated slightly, its silver-white fur regained some luster, and its broken, withered aura grew stronger.
Its massive body trembled slightly within the golden halo, as if undergoing a baptism of complete transformation.
Bones made faint cracking sounds, muscles reshaped, broken bones regenerated, wounds healed.
The tiger eyes that had contained only crimson ferocity were now undergoing changes.
The ferocious aura receded like tidewaters.
Replaced by pupils as brilliant as gold.
Majestic, profound.
A divine radiance belonging to an ancient sacred beast was slowly igniting within them.
Boom!
A far more powerful and pure pressure than before erupted from the White Tiger.
No longer malevolent demonic energy, but the sacred beast's authority symbolizing execution, restraint, and the western Geng Metal power.
As this pressure swept through, even Lin Fan standing nearby slightly narrowed his eyes, feeling a hint of oppression.
The golden light gradually converged inward, the gathered White Tiger remnant soul light points fully absorbed.
The Demon Sealing Pagoda's bottom floor returned to calm, but the auspicious aura permeating the air lingered.
The Sacred Beast White Tiger, crouched on the ground, finally...
Slowly raised its head!
