16: White Tiger Breakthrough

“Hahaha.”

Looking at the tiger cub constantly acting cute, Lin Xiao smiled slightly and stopped keeping them in suspense. With a wave of his hand, he fanned one drop of blood forward.

“If you want it, it’s yours.”

Based on the Aura remaining on the blood essence, Lin Xiao could roughly tell that the Vicious Beast's true strength was around the Great Saint Realm.

Currently, the only one in the entire Wuji Palace who could use this blood essence was the tiger cub in front of him.

As for Bone Cultivator, he was too strong; these two drops of blood essence were of no help to him.

The White Tiger, having received Lin Xiao’s permission, did not hesitate at all. It immediately opened its mouth wide and swallowed the flying blood in one gulp.

Boom!

“Roar!!!”

After the blood entered its mouth, it instantly transformed into a hot current that flowed from its throat into its belly. The tiger cub immediately felt its entire body become scorching hot, and it couldn't help but roar towards the sky. Its voice was like thunder, shaking the surroundings.

Lin Xiao, feeling a bit noisy, patted the other party’s forehead and said softly.

“Keep it down.”

The tiger cub, who was about to roar a few more times, immediately fell silent upon feeling the large hand on its head. It suppressed the urge to roar and began to focus on digesting the power within its body, its Aura also began to climb.

Soul Transformation Realm Eighth Heaven!

Soul Transformation Realm Ninth Heaven!

Soul Transformation Realm Tenth Heaven!

Under the effect of the blood essence, in just a few breaths, the tiger cub’s Realm broke through three levels consecutively, reaching the Peak of Soul Transformation.

“Roar…”

After staying at this Realm for a short while, with a low roar from the tiger cub, the shackles within its body shattered, and its Aura instantly surged.

Star Lord Realm First Level!

Star Lord Realm Second Level!

Only then did the tiger cub's Breakthrough speed begin to slow down, finally stabilizing its Aura after barely Breaking through the Star Lord Realm Third Heaven.

“Hmm, now this looks a bit like the King of Beasts.”

Lin Xiao rubbed the tiger’s head contentedly. Since it was his spirit pet, it naturally couldn't be too weak.

“Roar~”

The tiger cub, opening its tiger eyes, obediently twisted its head in Lin Xiao’s hand, while its gaze fell upon the other drop of blood essence suspended in the air.

Evidently, having tasted the sweetness, it wanted to go further.

“Don’t rush, it’s also yours.”

Lin Xiao had no use for this blood essence. He had only used one drop earlier, fearing the tiger cub might have indigestion. Now that he saw it was fine, he naturally felt relieved.

As the second drop of blood essence was absorbed, the tiger cub immediately began its second round of Breakthrough, and its recently stabilized Aura began to climb again.

“Hmm?”

Lin Xiao, who was sitting by and watching with a smile, suddenly looked up at the empty sky in the distance, his eyebrows slightly raised.

“Have they returned?”

...

Outside Wuji Palace.

Several figures descended from high in the sky, led by Zhang Liang and Li Ming.

Following behind them were Hu Qianxue and her father.

“We’ve arrived.”

Zhang Liang looked back at the two and said with a light smile.

“Clan Chief Hu, this is where our Wuji Palace is located.”

“Yes…”

Hu Yuxuan responded politely while continuously surveying his surroundings.

As the Qingqiu Fox Clan was an affiliated force of Wuji Palace, as their Clan Chief, he naturally had to pay his respects, which was why he came with them.

Upon seeing the environment where Wuji Palace was situated, Hu Yuxuan, a strong expert from the Eastern Lin Domain, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Even Hu Qianxue was the same, covering her cherry lips, looking around in disbelief.

Leaving aside everything else, just its geographical location alone, it was actually situated within the Bone Spirit Mountain Range, one of the Five Great Forbidden Grounds of the Sky Profound Continent.

And this was not the outer or inner area, but the true core region, practically adjacent to the legendary Bone Dragon.

Choosing such a place as a Sect’s base was either courting death or extreme self-confidence.

Thinking of this, Hu Yuxuan silently withdrew his gaze, looking at the two calmly walking ahead. Clearly, Wuji Palace was the latter.

Hu Qianxue’s thoughts were even simpler. As she looked around, she exclaimed softly.

“Such dense Spiritual Qi!”

If the Spiritual Qi concentration at their Qingqiu Fox Clan’s base was one, then Wuji Palace’s Spiritual Qi concentration was hundreds, or even more.

Such dense Spiritual Qi could not even be described as being as thick as mist.

Hu Qianxue could hardly imagine how enjoyable it would be to Cultivate in such an environment all the time.

As the group stepped into the Sect, the true appearance of Wuji Palace was also revealed.

Four mist-shrouded Peaks rose from the ground, standing on all sides, and in the very center, on the most majestic Peak, stood a grand hall.

Among these Peaks, mountains and lakes were scattered like stars, the ethereal Spiritual Qi in the air was as dense as mist, and strands of Dao flowed within it.

Various birds soared through the high sky, covered by clouds and mist. Such a sight was as if one had arrived at a fairyland on Earth.

“Wuji Palace…”

Hu Qianxue, somewhat lost in thought, her beautiful eyes brightened, a smile appearing on her pretty face, full of longing for her future life.

Hu Yuxuan, seeing this scene, felt a bit relieved.

With his precious daughter being able to Cultivate in such a blessed land, he could finally feel somewhat at ease.

Given his daughter’s Aptitude and joining such a Sect, surpassing him in the future was almost a certainty.

And their Qingqiu Fox Clan, perhaps, would flourish under their father-daughter duo.

“Clan Chief Hu.”

While Hu Yuxuan was imagining a beautiful future, Zhang Liang’s voice suddenly rang out.

He subconsciously looked up and then saw Zhang Liang nodding slightly to him.

“Please follow me, the Palace Revered Master has been waiting for a long time.”

“Then let’s hurry.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Yuxuan quickly quickened his pace to follow. He dared not put on airs and make such a mysterious powerful expert wait for him.

In a short while, the group arrived near the central hall, beneath the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Under the tree, a stone table and chairs were set, and a young figure sat there, lowering its head, grooming the fur of a White Tiger.

As they drew closer, that figure seemed to sense their presence, looked up towards them, and a young face with a smile immediately came into view.

“Palace Revered Master!”

Zhang Liang and Li Ming, having arrived nearby, stopped and then half-knelt on the ground, saying respectfully.

“We have returned.”

“You have worked hard on this trip.”

Lin Xiao nodded slightly in response, then raised his hand and gently waved it. Four yuan ling fruits immediately appeared before the two, and he said with a smile.

“Go back and Cultivate.”

“Yes!”

Receiving the response, the two immediately stood up and disappeared from the spot with the yuan ling fruits, leaving Hu Yuxuan and Hu Qianxue standing there.

“Revered Master!”

Hu Qianxue took two steps forward, bowed, and said respectfully.

“Your disciple has returned.”

Although she had only met him twice, this convenient Revered Master had indeed helped her, and coupled with all the experiences along the way, her reverence for this Revered Master was completely filled.

“I have already heard about the matter from Zhang Liang and the others. It’s good that it’s resolved.”

Lin Xiao said, then turned his head to an empty spot nearby and spoke.

“Ling’er.”

Seeing Lin Xiao call out to an empty spot, both Hu Qianxue and Hu Yuxuan were stunned for a moment. After looking around, they didn’t know who he was talking to.

“I’m here, Revered Master.”

Hearing the sudden melodious voice beside her, Hu Qianxue only reacted after a moment of stunned stunned silence.

She suddenly turned her head and then saw a girl slightly younger than herself slowly emerging from the Void Realm. Her seemingly insubstantial body gradually solidified, finally landing.

Upon seeing this scene, Hu Yuxuan’s pupils immediately constricted, and his expression also became solemn.

What kind of method was this?!

As a Star Lord Realm expert, his perception ability goes without saying. Even a strong expert of the same Realm would not be able to approach him so silently at such a close distance.

Unless the other party had a treasure that concealed Aura or their strength was above his.

And after he slightly perceived the strength of the young girl in front of him, his expression immediately became astonished.

Xiu Ming Realm Two Levels. To have such cultivation at such a young age, this Aptitude absolutely deserves to be called a Genius.

Thinking of this, Hu Yuxuan subconsciously looked at his own daughter, and his expression also became proud.

Fortunately, his precious daughter was not bad either.
