The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 490 - 284: Changtian’s Little Secret
His True Body, of course, was none other than the white tiger with black stripes and hanging eyes—one and the same as the Illusion that appeared on Yuhu Peak, only shrunken to the size of an ordinary tiger within the God Demon Prison. But even so, it still exuded fierce might and an intimidating presence.
He first stretched lazily on the spot, his sharp claws scarring the black stone ground with ten deep marks, and only then did Ning Xiaoxian catch sight of the White Tiger’s long upper canines, reminiscent of a sword-toothed tiger, instilling fear in those who beheld them.
He walked into the Demon Transformation Spring with his head held high and chest out, as though stepping into ordinary water. The icy divine power within the spring, unbearable for her, naturally did no harm to the giant demon. Changtian reached for the Dragon Binding Rope and pulled it taut. The silver rope with its spiritual nature strummed a "clang clang" sound as it resisted fiercely, unable to withstand Changtian’s Giant Strength; it grew taut and straight. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The White Tiger glanced at the silver rope and suddenly opened his wide mouth to bite into it! The momentum and ferocity genuinely caused one’s heart to tremble.
Although she knew that the White Tiger would not hurt Changtian, it stood so close to him, its enormous maw large enough to swallow Changtian’s head whole. As it viciously gnawed down, she could not help but close her eyes and turn her head, unable to bear the sight.
A "squeak" of a sharp squeal rang by her ears, a sound so grating that it made one want to gnash their teeth. When she opened her eyes, she noticed a small nick on the Dragon Binding Rope. However, as soon as the White Tiger’s long fangs moved away, the nick quickly mended and regrew, and in a short while, it was as if it had never been there.
The Dragon Binding Rope was actually a Magic Artifact capable of self-repair! She was so astonished that her eyes went wide, but neither Changtian nor White Tiger showed the slightest surprise.
As if feeling ashamed that the Dragon Binding Rope could withstand his sharp teeth, the White Tiger tried to bite it several more times, the "squeak crunch squeak crunch" sound repeating a few times. Yet, no matter how ferociously or forcefully he bit, the Dragon Binding Rope would not break all at once. By the time it restored itself, the silver rope had already healed.
The White Tiger exhaled angrily twice and finally sullenly walked out of the Demon Spring, reverting to human form and sitting down cross-legged.
"No use. I’ve only just been released from the seal, and my strength has not returned. I can’t bite through it in one go," the White Tiger said, huffing and puffing.
Changtian looked at him and understood, with a smile: "Even at your peak, you might not have been able to break it."
Ning Xiaoxian immediately pursed her lips, looking down on this useless tiger. Just a moment ago, she was pounding in her heart with the thought that Changtian might finally escape his predicament. But alas, this cool-looking tiger just couldn’t deliver.
Her expression did not escape White Tiger’s Divine Sense. His eyes widened in anger as if he wanted to scold someone, but then he suddenly gloated: "The Dragon Binding Rope was forged by all of us combined, even incorporating your Yimu Growth Power. It would be strange indeed if I could snap it alone!"
She said incredulously: "What?"
The White Tiger looked at her, then at Changtian, and revealed an expression of sudden realization: "So you haven’t told your little pet about these things. Indeed, pets should not know too much."
He actually called her Changtian’s pet? Ning Xiaoxian bit her lower lip, ignoring the sour and angry feelings in her heart, glaring forcefully at the White Tiger. She suppressed the urge to look at Changtian, believing he would never treat her like this.
The temperature inside the God Demon Prison seemed to drop several more degrees all of a sudden. Changtian looked at the White Tiger and said coldly: "She is not a pet."
"Cough, if she is not, then she is not." The White Tiger, ignoring his frosty gaze, chuckled, "Haha, young lady, I tell you, this Dragon Binding Rope was forged by the collective strength of the immortals, even incorporating Changtian’s own Yimu Divine Power, which grants it the mighty self-healing ability! This silver rope was originally crafted specifically to deal with the Divine Beast Azure Dragon!"
Ning Xiaoxian was shocked, forgetting her sadness. Was she hearing ancient grand gossip? Were these two before her, opponents of the Divine Beast Azure Dragon?
The White Tiger shook his head at her: "I was sealed with my flesh and blood within Yuhu Peak for ten thousand years and already so weakened that I couldn’t even deal with Guangcheng Palace alone; but he—" he pointed at Changtian, "—survived in this God Demon Prison that devours divine power for thirty thousand years with just an External Body, not even his True Body. Haven’t you ever questioned why the Shaking Heaven God is so powerful?"
How could she not have doubts? But for one thing, she knew too little about creatures like Divine Beasts, which seemed to be very different from the current demons; and for another, Changtian was always silently with her, being around for so long she even forgot to suspect.
