Although Houston had already known that Xiu Mi's death would come, and he could not change it at all, he still felt extremely pained when the day truly arrived.
Jianchen sighed inside as well. Houston had not been present on the day of Xiu Mi's death, so he had not been able to personally send Xiu Mi off. Not only did Houston feel regret, but he and all the villagers in Longevity Valley felt regret as well. Jianchen had no idea how to comfort Houston when he saw his father's expression. He could understand Houston's feelings. After all, he was a father as well.
Jianchen looked at the White Tiger. The white tiger had already shrunk, only a meter long. Its snow-white fur had been dyed red, and it gave off a heavy smell of blood. The White Tiger had also been quite injured in the battle earlier. Although it had made a full recovery now, the blood on its body had not been washed away.
Jianchen was filled with joy when he sensed the White Tiger's current strength. He felt happy for the White Tiger. His relationship with the White Tiger was extremely special. Even Jianchen did not know what kind of feelings he had for the White Tiger. In the past, the White Tiger had been by Jianchen's side when it had just been born. It had not even opened its eyes yet. In the past few years, it had basically been inseparable from Jianchen aside from the time they spent in the Beast God Hall. Jianchen had watched the White Tiger grow from a cub that had not even opened its eyes back then to its current state. The two of them were like companions, but they were also like father and son.
"Xiao Bai, I never thought that you would obtain such a great fortune in the Beast God Hall. You managed to reach the Origin realm while this world is sealed, and you've also comprehended laws. Your mother will definitely be happy for you," Jian Chen said with a smile. Jianchen looked at the White Tiger. Afterward, he paused and said with some doubt, "You've already reached the Origin realm, so why can't you assume a human form? Could it be that the ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger, won't be able to assume a human form for the rest of its life? "
A sliver of hesitation appeared in the White Tiger's eyes when he heard that. However, the hesitation vanished soon after, replaced by determination. His body began to rapidly change, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a boy who seemed to be around eight or nine years old. He was extremely valiant, and his skin was very tender, just like a newborn baby. His hair was snow-white, a foot long, and it casually draped over his shoulders. A mysterious light seemed to circulate through it, as if every single strand of hair was filled with power. His face, which still possessed some childishness, possessed a resoluteness that completely did not match his age, making him seem like a general who had gone through countless battles.
Tie Ta, Changyang Mingyue, Shangguan Mu 'er, Xiao Ling, and Houston all stared at the White Tiger. They all knew from the ancient legends that the Winged Tiger had always appeared as a beast and had never assumed a human form. As a result, people all believed that the Winged Tiger was unable to assume a human form even after reaching the Origin realm due to its special bloodline. However, the scene before them had completely overturned this rumor.
Xiao Ling arrived before the White Tiger that had assumed a human form. She circled around the White Tiger as her bright eyes were filled with doubt. She murmured, "Strange. Why do I suddenly feel a familiar presence from you?" Xiao Ling frowned in thought, but she was unable to understand it no matter what.
"The true name of our race is not the Winged Tiger but the Seiyu Tiger Emperor. It's one of the most powerful bloodlines in the world, right behind the Ancestral Dragon. The seal here is very powerful, but it's not enough to seal the bloodline of the Seiyu Tiger Emperor. Due to the uniqueness of our bloodline, we can only assume a human form after reaching the Origin realm," said the White Tiger Emperor. The little white tiger opened its mouth, its voice sounding a little immature. Perhaps it was because it had just started speaking, but its words were not very clear.
No one present, including Jianchen, knew what the Ancestral Dragon was. Even the White Tiger did not know what the Ancestral Dragon was, so they did not pay much attention to it. However, the weak sword spirits were greatly shocked when they heard the Ancestral Dragon. They became extremely shocked as their hearts churned.
"What is his legacy? How does he know about the Ancestral Dragon …"
"What kind of heaven-defying race is the Seiyu Tiger Emperor? Why have we never heard of them? How can they possess such a powerful bloodline, right behind the Ancestral Dragon? Even the sacred beast kings of our Immortals' World don't possess such a powerful bloodline … "
"Could it be that he's exaggerating …"
"He must have learned this information from the previous Winged Tiger through the legacy. Just what is the background of the Winged Tiger that appeared in ancient times? He actually knows about the existence of the Ancestral Dragon. The Ancestral Dragon has already disappeared from our Immortals' World for billions of years. It's definitely not something a normal person can know about. However, all those who know about the Ancestral Dragon are peak experts who have lived for countless years or important figures with great backgrounds … "
At that moment, the sword spirits began to truly take the White Tiger seriously. Although they had lived for countless years and had never heard of the Seiyu Tiger Emperor, they definitely would not be simple since they knew about the Ancestral Dragon.
At this moment, Tian Jian returned and walked over from afar. He held a snow-white beast hide in his hand.
The White Tiger's gaze immediately fell on the beast hide. The beast hide gave off an extremely familiar presence because it came from the Seiyu Tiger Emperor of ancient times. It belonged to the same race as him, and the legacy he had obtained came from the previous Seiyu Tiger Emperor.
Tian Jian handed the last beast hide to Tie Ta. Tie Ta held the beast hide with mixed feelings. After the previous war god of the same race as him, A 'Ruijin, was slain by the Winged Tiger, his body had been sealed away for millions of years. Now, he had finally gathered all eighteen beast hides and obtained the key to unlocking the seal. He could now bury A' Ruijin's body in peace.
The moment he held the beast hide, Tie Ta did not have any thoughts of obtaining a fortune or legacy. He only had the thought of burying A 'Ruijin's body in a grand manner.
"Aside from the beast hide, I've found a few other things useful to us in the treasury," said Tian Jian. Tian Jian said. Then, with a wave of his hand, many jade boxes flew out from his Space Ring. There were over a thousand of them.
Several people were curious. One by one, they picked up some jade boxes and opened them. They found that the jade boxes contained some high-level magic cores and various kinds of medicinal pills. Most of the magic cores were at the ninth level, while the rest were at the eighth level.
"These things should have been left behind by the past masters of this divine hall. Due to the formations sealing the jade boxes, the things inside are in extremely good condition. Although I don't know how long they've been stored, they're still effective," said Tian Jian.
