The Encounter of the White Tiger and Kirin Second Generations

Hearing Candle Dragon shout like that and seeing the state of the other nearby beings, Xuan Qing instantly understood Candle Dragon's intentions. He wanted to use the death of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal to intimidate the entire East Sea.

They could do nothing to him. That Grand Luo Golden Immortal's death could only be left as it was, but they could not remain indifferent either, or it would make the Dragon Clan seem afraid of Xuan Qing.

Candle Dragon could only use such a clumsy method to threaten the other beings, making it easier for them to swiftly take control of the East Sea. It had to be said that the Dragon Clan did have clever people; they were not simple at all.

Xuan Qing paid no heed to Candle Dragon's clamor. After all, Candle Dragon could only talk and could not do anything to him. After comforting those who had rushed over and telling them to cultivate diligently, Xuan Qing began his own seclusion.

Seeing that Azure Nether Island showed no reaction, Candle Dragon finally let out the breath he had been holding. His purpose for this trip had been achieved, so he did not linger and led his group back in grand procession.

On the Eastern Continent, after the Zhou Mountain incident and the Dragon Clan's actions, Ancestor Kirin gave the matter much thought. He could not act like the Dragon Clan. There were many great experts on the continent, and he did not dare offend them lightly.

He then ordered the Kirin Clan not to act recklessly. Though the Kirin Clan was powerful, it still had to develop cautiously. Thus, the entire Kirin Clan practiced benevolence and adopted conciliatory policies toward every tribe that sought refuge with them.

At Dangyun Mountain, the White Tiger Clan's headquarters, Yun Jing, the White Tiger Clan's Young Clan Leader, was bidding farewell to the Clan Leader. He had already broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and was preparing to travel the Primordial Land to broaden his horizons.

After bidding farewell to the Clan Leader, Yun Jing headed toward Zhou Mountain. As a being of the Prehistoric Era, none failed to marvel at Great God Pangu's greatness. The first thing one did upon leaving home was visit Zhou Mountain and admire its majesty.

The White Tiger Clan was naturally aligned with metal and valued slaughter. From the moment each White Tiger was born, its body was filled with dense Killing Power.

This differed from baleful aura. Killing Power was merely pure offensive strength; only when it became tainted by Turbid Qi from the earth did it confuse the mind.

Yun Jing wanted to venture out and temper his Dao Heart, guarding against contamination by Turbid Qi.

One day, Yun Jing arrived at a great mountain and suddenly discovered that the spiritual qi ahead was unusual. After investigating carefully, he found that it was a Formation.

"Ah, I found an opportunity not long after leaving home!"

Yun Jing said joyfully. He had heard from his elders that the Prehistoric Era was filled with countless opportunities. It seemed his elders had been telling the truth; traveling truly had its benefits.

Yun Jing knew nothing about Formations. The White Tiger Clan was naturally fond of slaughter, somewhat single-minded, and worshipped only the strong.

Unable to find a way to begin with the Formation before him, Yun Jing could only choose to break it by force and use his attack power to shatter its limits.

In the Prehistoric Era, the only Formations capable of connecting to earth veins were those formed by spiritual objects born from Earth Vein Nodes or Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book. Ordinary Formations merely had normal Formation foundations and could be broken by brute force without harming the earth veins.

Although Yun Jing knew nothing about Formations, he still understood such common knowledge. He then brought out the Innate Spiritual Treasure Long Sword given to him by his clan. It was a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with thirty-six restrictions.

Many Spiritual Treasures in the Prehistoric Era had yet to emerge. At present, most Spiritual Treasures had been formed from Fragments of the Chaos Green Lotus. Even a great clan like the Kirin Clan possessed only one Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with forty-eight restrictions.

Most Grand Luo Golden Immortals used High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, which showed just how much the White Tiger Clan cherished this Young Clan Leader.

Yun Jing raised his Long Sword and began attacking the great Formation. In less than a thousand years, the Formation was broken, and Yun Jing eagerly rushed inside.

There, he saw a suit of armor floating in the air and emitting a gentle aura. It was also a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, with thirty-five Innate Restrictions.

Bathed in its radiance, Yun Jing felt a wave of peace fill his heart. This armor could dispel killing intent and refine the mind; it suited Yun Jing perfectly.

With one for offense and one for defense, he would no longer need to worry so much about danger while traveling the Prehistoric Era. Yun Jing stepped forward, removed the armor, and prepared to refine it on the spot.

"Hum."

As the armor was removed, a deafening boom rang out, and a figure shot up from the ground beneath where the armor had been.

"Fierce Beast!"

Yun Jing's expression changed drastically. He had not expected the armor to be suppressing a Fierce Beast. This was a Mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Fierce Beast, and Yun Jing felt that he might not escape this time.

Yun Jing was simply unlucky. When Fierce Beasts first appeared across the Primordial Land, some were also born on other continents. However, some had been killed before they could gather in the Northern Lands.

This one had even worse luck. It had been born within the Formation, and its aura naturally conflicted with that of the armor, so it had been directly suppressed by the Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Once Yun Jing removed the Spiritual Treasure, the Fierce Beast lost its suppression and charged out at once.

"Roar!"

The tremendous roar spread in every direction. The Fierce Beast leaped before Yun Jing and bit at him. Yun Jing did not hesitate. With no path of retreat, he raised the armor to block the attack.

When the Fierce Beast saw the armor before it, it immediately shuddered. That thing had suppressed it for so long that it remembered it vividly, and it hurriedly retreated several steps.

Seeing this, Yun Jing had no time to subdue the Spiritual Treasure and directly donned the armor. It seemed the Fierce Beast still feared it.

Yun Jing gripped his Long Sword and guarded against the Fierce Beast with all his might. Seeing this, the Fierce Beast wondered why the armor was no longer suppressing it. Had the armor lost its effect?

Otherwise, how had it escaped? Having been suppressed for so many years, it possessed no intelligence, only the instinct to destroy.

After waiting a long time with no reaction, the Fierce Beast charged at Yun Jing without hesitation. Yun Jing steeled himself, wielded his Long Sword, and fought the Fierce Beast.

"??????(? `▽′?)?!"

The Fierce Beast's body was far too tough, and Yun Jing's attacks did little damage. Fortunately, he wore the armor. Though he could not activate its abilities, it was extremely hard, and clashing head-on with the Fierce Beast was no problem.

After fighting for several hundred years, Yun Jing had already suffered considerable injuries, while the Fierce Beast had only suffered a few scratches. If this continued, Yun Jing would certainly die.

Suddenly, a massive hammer appeared and smashed toward the Fierce Beast. The attack came so abruptly that the Fierce Beast was sent flying, its body trembling. That blow carried truly tremendous force.

Yun Jing turned around and his heart tightened at once. A Big Man holding a massive hammer had appeared before him.

"Hey, brother, don't be afraid. Let's take down this Fierce Beast together. My hammer is quite powerful."

The Big Man spoke with a cheerful smile, easing the tense atmosphere.

Fierce Beasts were the common enemies of the Prehistoric Era. Though the Measure Tribulation had passed, whenever one was discovered, everyone chose to kill it. After all, such creatures brought no benefit to the Prehistoric Era.

The Big Man's appearance had resolved Yun Jing's urgent crisis. The two exchanged a glance. This was not the time to introduce themselves; they first had to deal with the danger before them.

The two then charged at the Fierce Beast together. The Big Man relied on his immense strength to fight it head-on, while Yun Jing waited for chances to launch sneak attacks.

With attacks coming from both sides, the Fierce Beast was left in a miserable state, and its injuries grew increasingly severe.

After fighting like this for more than three thousand years, Yun Jing and the Big Man coordinated better and better, while the Fierce Beast's movements grew increasingly sluggish. Seizing the chance, Yun Jing launched a sneak attack from behind, driving his Long Sword into the Fierce Beast's rear.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Fierce Beast experienced its first rear-entry in its beastly life. The pain and humiliation made it instantly abandon its attack from the front.

Yun Jing could not help feeling awkward. It seemed that his attack had gone astray.

While he was still embarrassed, the Fierce Beast pounced and directly sent Yun Jing flying.

The Big Man had no time to worry about Yun Jing. Seeing the Fierce Beast's back full of openings, he poured all his Magic Power into his Spiritual Treasure. With one hammer blow, he smashed the Fierce Beast directly into pulp.

After attacking, the Big Man had no strength left to move and collapsed to the ground. Yun Jing was also seriously injured and fell to the ground.

After resting for quite some time, the two finally felt able to move again. They turned to look at each other and smiled.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for saving my life. Otherwise, I would have died here today."

Yun Jing hurriedly thanked the Big Man.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. When traveling outside, one always encounters difficulties. I only helped because I cannot stand the sight of Fierce Beasts like this."

"After all, Fellow Daoist, you did save my life. I will certainly repay you someday."

"My name is Lei Li. I come from the Thunder Kirin branch of the Kirin Clan. That old man forced me to travel outside. I happened to hear a commotion here and came to take a look, only to find a Fierce Beast."

Lei Li was also straightforward by nature and introduced himself to Yun Jing with a hearty smile.

"My name is Yun Jing, and I come from the White Tiger Clan. Fellow Daoist Lei Li is actually from the Kirin Clan. No wonder you are so extraordinary; you are far stronger than I am."

Yun Jing happily began talking with Lei Li. The two sat on the ground, healing their injuries as they spoke.

Several thousand more years passed. Yun Jing's injuries had recovered, and he rose to bow to Lei Li. Lei Li had not been badly injured, only greatly depleted, and had recovered long ago.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Jing, don't do that. I have never liked this sort of thing. I heard your White Tiger Clan values slaughter, so why are you being so polite?"

Lei Li waved his hand, seemingly disliking Yun Jing's behavior.

It was the first time either of them had traveled outside. After a great battle and several thousand years of conversation, they had long wished to become acquainted. Such politeness did not suit Lei Li's character.

Seeing how easygoing Lei Li was, and knowing that he was his lifesaver, Yun Jing was delighted to have made such a friend.

"Then, Fellow Daoist Lei Li, I will call you Lei Li from now on, and you can simply call me Yun Jing. Where do you plan to go? How about we travel together?"

"Good, good, good. That's more like it. Few people in the clan suit my taste. You're a good friend. I go wherever my feet take me and have no destination. Together, together—that's what makes it interesting."

After Lei Li spoke, the two set out together, choosing a direction at random and beginning their journey of exploration.
