Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 729: The White Tiger Sacrifice
Chapter 729: The White Tiger Sacrifice
...
"Woof."
The White Tiger's opening remark, delivered in a fresh and juicy tone, nearly made Chen Huaian lose his composure.
Just look at this majestic and cool sacred beast pose.
At the very least, it should let out a mighty roar!
"Woof! Was it you who helped restore my consciousness and power?" The White Tiger's golden pupils narrowed slightly as a strand of auspicious power enveloped Chen Huaian, clearly analyzing his identity.
"Dragon Soul inheritor! Woof—!"
That drawn-out "woof" also signaled the White Tiger's confirmation of Chen Huaian's identity.
"Could you please stop woofing?" Chen Huaian massaged his forehead. "Your woofing is shattering my understanding of ancient divine beasts..."
"We White Tigers all call like this." The White Tiger lifted its head proudly and roared at the sky: "Woof—! Don't you think it's very imposing?"
Chen Huaian was speechless.
Lin Fan almost burst out laughing.
The key point was that this White Tiger's voice was actually a cute, milky tone.
To make a real comparison, even the Moon Shadow Sect's guardian beast Daha had a more imposing bark than this one.
"Alright, stop barking." Chen Huaian cleared his throat lightly. "Since you're the White Tiger, do you know who the auspicious beast of this Demon Sealing Pagoda is? This Venerable One needs to discuss something with it."
As soon as he finished speaking.
He saw the White Tiger looking at him with a peculiar expression.
"Why are you looking at This Venerable One like that?"
White Tiger: "The auspicious beast you're looking for is me, isn't it?"
Chen Huaian fell silent for a moment. "You... you are?"
White Tiger: "That's right."
Chen Huaian: "..."
No wonder the process that should have teleported him to the pagoda's summit didn't proceed—it turned out the White Tiger was this Demon Sealing Pagoda's auspicious beast all along.
It was just that only its physical shell remained, unable to perform the auspicious beast's functions.
In that case, the situations of the Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise should be similar to the White Tiger's.
Most likely these three sacred beasts also only have their physical shells left, each occupying one Demon Sealing Pagoda.
To obtain these auspicious beasts' powers, the prerequisite is to restore their souls and bodies.
"Once again, I thank the Dragon Soul inheritor for restoring my body, woof." The White Tiger's massive form prostrated itself as it sighed with an aged tone: "Those monsters who followed the ancient Celestial God Clan betrayed us, and even betrayed the trust the Ancestral Dragon placed in them.
We auspicious beasts were also severely injured in that great war. Actually, during the first cycle of reincarnation, I and the other three sacred beasts only self-sealed, not weakened to the point of only having physical shells left... But as reincarnation cycles occurred repeatedly, we continuously battled those traitorous monsters, and our injuries grew increasingly severe.
Eventually, we were torn apart by the leader of the Celestial God Clan's demon immortals, a demon immortal named [All Evils]. It shattered our demonic souls and sealed our physical shells within the Demon Sealing Pagodas. For the Dragon Soul inheritor to open the Well of Heaven, you must kill our physical shells.
This way, the Well of Heaven opens, but we're essentially killed by our own side, weakening our power."
Hearing this, Chen Huaian couldn't help but sympathize with these auspicious beasts' plight.
Auspicious beasts and Fierce Beasts were undoubtedly enemies in ancient times, when the Celestial God Clan hadn't invaded yet and reincarnation hadn't begun.
But now auspicious beasts and Fierce Beasts actually joined forces, showing what kind of trauma the betrayal of part of the demon race brought to the entire demon race community.
Being betrayed by the most trusted companions was cruel enough.
Yet they still had to be torn to pieces by their former companions...
Hachikyū... This Venerable One forgives your woofing.
The White Tiger gazed solemnly at Chen Huaian, speaking gravely: "Dragon Soul inheritor, the Well of Heaven will eventually be fully opened. This is an unstoppable trend. Without opening the Well of Heaven, the power of heavenly and earthly rules becomes shackles for you. Bearing these shackles, you cannot possibly defeat the Celestial God Clan.
Moreover, if you don't open the Well of Heaven, those traitorous demons and this realm's Ascenders will spare no effort to open it—this is the mission given to them by the Celestial God Clan. What you must do is become strong enough before the Well of Heaven fully opens, achieving a balance between opening the Well of Heaven and enhancing your power.
Once the Well of Heaven opens, All Evils will descend.
If you're not a match then, I beg you to definitely conceal your identity and endure hardships patiently!"
The White Tiger's tone gradually rose with passion. Under Chen Huaian's bewildered gaze, the White Tiger's figure gradually became enveloped by sacred white radiance.
Immediately after, all the brilliance and auspicious power surged toward Chen Huaian.
A terrifying power grew wildly within Chen Huaian's body, with tiger roars echoing through his limbs and bones.
This wasn't a 'woof', but a genuine divine beast roar—imposing, powerful, carrying razor-sharp killing intent.
"The situations of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise are identical to mine. I also ask the Dragon Soul inheritor to devote careful attention to them!"
"I offer my deepest gratitude here!"
The White Tiger's voice echoed through the Demon Sealing Pagoda.
By the time Chen Huaian reacted, that big tiger who always liked to add a 'woof' to its speech had already disappeared.
Crackle, pop—!
Chen Huaian clenched his fist, with popping sounds like frying beans coming from throughout his body.
Perhaps because both its demonic soul and power had been restored, the enhancement brought by the White Tiger's sacrifice was more pronounced than those from Dang Kang, the qilin, and Bai Ze.
His original mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation had broken through all the way to peak Nascent Soul.
He was just one step away from the Unity Realm.
He only needed to return and consolidate slightly before immediately breaking through to the Unity Realm.
Didn't that mean that after the last five auspicious beasts sacrificed themselves, his power would easily reach the Void Shattering Realm?
Chen Huaian performed internal observation of his dantian, clearly seeing a White Tiger howling at the sky beside the qilin.
Faintly, he could still hear its clear yet peculiar 'woof'.
Unlike Bai Ze's sacrifice which granted him a special divine ability.
The White Tiger's sacrifice didn't pass down any divine abilities to him besides bestowing power.
But Chen Huaian saw a blood-colored sphere of light where the White Tiger had originally prostrated itself.
Intuitively, a feeling told him.
This sphere of light was what the White Tiger left for him.
Even before approaching, Chen Huaian could sense an extremely sharp killing intent emanating from the light sphere.
"Ancestor, this killing intent..." Lin Fan watched the light sphere with growing vigilance.
The previous trace of contempt and disdain he held for this world completely vanished.
The killing intent contained within the blood-colored light sphere made even someone of his Void Shattering Realm feel terrified.
This showed the killing intent within this sphere was no longer pure killing intent.
But rather something approaching the nature of a Dao.
The Cangyun Realm wasn't without cultivators who entered the Dao through killing, but they all ended up entangled in karmic debt and causality, with most going berserk before completing the path of killing.
The Killing Dao was considered an impassable path.
Even demon cultivators didn't dare practice the pure Killing Dao.
But now, from this sphere of light, Lin Fan seemed to see the Killing Dao paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"This Venerable One knows, no need to worry." Chen Huaian calmly approached the light sphere.
If this were some treasure that randomly appeared before him, he would still be somewhat cautious.
But this was left by the White Tiger—the White Tiger, like those lovely auspicious beasts, would absolutely never harm him.
If there was anything besides Li Qingran that deserved his absolute trust.
Then it could only be these auspicious beasts who continuously sacrificed themselves for him.
Even the Electronic Girlfriend system didn't rank highly in his heart.
