Heavenly Steed Treading on the Moon, Crisis is Coming!

After an epochal battle between the two great ancient ferocious beasts, the entire periphery of the island seemed to fall into a silence, with many surviving ferocious beasts secretly licking their wounds.

Even the numerous corpses of wild beasts and ferocious beasts were left lying in disarray in the dense forest, which was a boon for Bai He and Xiao Chen. They didn't need to search for food these past few days; simply picking up corpses was enough to make their mouths greasy with food.

Moreover, among these corpses were some of the powerful primordial beasts they had seen before, such as the winged golden divine leopard, the giant two-headed white jade elephant, and the terrifying unicorn giant python...

Although they were lying dead on the ground, even torn into pieces, their corpses still emitted a faint, brilliant glow, indicating their terror and power when they were alive, enough to be called beast kings!

However, these powerful beast kings still seemed weak and vulnerable compared to the dragons on Dragon Island, unable to withstand even the aftershocks of the battle between the two dragon overlords.

After all, this island is called Dragon Island!

It was night, the moonlight was like water, and the stars dotted the sky.

In a sapphire-like small lake, under the hazy and bright moonlight, a shining silver light sometimes floated up and down in the clear lake water, sometimes swimming like light and electricity, like a silver swordfish.

After swimming quickly for a long time, the silver light finally showed some fatigue and eventually stopped, slowly leaning on the shore.

In the moonlight, a humanoid creature covered in silver scales and sharp bone spurs slowly climbed up.

With each step it took, the silver scales on the silver creature's body began to recede like a tide, and the bone spurs also shrank back into its body one by one, eventually revealing its true appearance, which was Bai He!

The bright moonlight poured down, reflecting on Bai He's silver hair, and the water droplets on his body refracted colorful halos in the moonlight, making his jade-like face look like a god. His silver pupils added a different kind of handsomeness and bewitching charm to the young man.

'Huff...'

Bai He slowly exhaled, twisted his head, stretched his muscles, and then looked at the bamboo house not far away.

Ever since he accidentally saw Zhao Lin'er's white veil by the lake a few days ago, Xiao Chen had begun to seclude himself to heal his injuries. Since then, he had spent almost all of his time in the bamboo house.

Under the moonlight, endless Heaven and Earth Essence gathered towards the bamboo house, and a large amount of Heaven and Earth Essence turned into a hazy glow, enveloping Xiao Chen, like a silver cocoon wrapping him inside. With Xiao Chen's breathing, the cocoon also expanded or contracted.

Finding that there was no movement from Xiao Chen inside the house, Bai He shook his head, then sat by the lake, watching the rising mist in the lake, and slowly closed his eyes.

In his mind, a transparent golden panel instantly appeared.

[Host: Bai He]

[Bloodline: Human Race/Dragon Race]

[Symbiotic Spirit: Eight-Armed Evil Dragon]

[Realm: First Order/Mortal Shedding (Pseudo)]

[Divine Power: Dragon Transformation]

[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Tablet Mystic Skill (Incomplete)]

After swallowing the dragon egg, the attribute panel generated by the system was updated again, adding the Symbiotic Spirit, symbolizing the symbiotic dragon soul, and the Divine Power: Dragon Transformation. The realm also changed from Zero Order (Unranked) to First Order/Mortal Shedding (Pseudo). More importantly, the bloodline item also changed from Human Race to Human Race/Dragon Race.

According to Bai He's reasoning, under the catalysis of the dragon egg's massive life essence, his muscles, bones, flesh, and five viscera should have reached perfection, but for some reason, he still couldn't generate True Qi.

After a period of contemplation, Bai He finally thought of the divine tablet on Dragon Island. In the absence of sufficient evidence, he could only speculate in this way.

Like the divine tablet in the Yellow River, the divine tablet on Dragon Island also played a suppressive role.

Legend has it that the role of the Yellow River Heavenly Tablet is to suppress floods and ensure that they do not recur, but in fact, it is not so, or rather, it is not entirely so.

Although the Yellow River Heavenly Tablet does indeed have such an effect, its true purpose is to suppress the First Generation Ancestral Dragon sealed within the Yellow River.

The same is true for the Divine Tablet on Dragon Island; its purpose is to suppress all the dragons on Dragon Island, inhibiting their divine side and causing them to reveal more of their bestial side.

This is why the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon that Bai He and the others saw was more like a mindless ferocious beast than a divine dragon.

After Bai He devoured the dragon egg, especially after the system transformed the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon's dragon soul into Bai He's symbiotic dragon soul, Bai He's bloodline was, to some extent, transformed into that of a dragon. Therefore, the Divine Tablet on Dragon Island, which suppresses dragons, also had an effect on Bai He.

However, Bai He is, after all, more Human Race, so the effect of the Divine Tablet suppressing dragons on Bai He is still very limited. It cannot suppress Bai He's rationality and make him become like those savage dragons on Dragon Island that exhibit their bestial nature.

But coincidentally, although the Divine Tablet failed to suppress his rational side, it did have some effect, suppressing the generation of True Qi within Bai He's body, causing his realm to remain stuck at the Mortal Shedding (pseudo) stage.

Mortal Shedding is the first stage of cultivation for many cultivators in the Realm of Longevity. Although Bai He possessed strength comparable to the Mortal Shedding realm with the help of the dragon egg, he was unable to generate special energy like True Qi within his body due to the suppression of the Divine Tablet on Dragon Island. Many special techniques, such as lightening his body and drying clothes, could not be used, which made Bai He feel somewhat frustrated.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Just as Bai He was troubled by how to break through the Divine Tablet's seal and truly advance to Mortal Shedding, he suddenly heard sounds in his ears, indicating that something was approaching in the dense forest.

Turning his head, he saw a snow-white, divine little horse flying as if it were floating, leaping from treetop to treetop through the crowns of the large trees.

The little horse was very young, only a little over a meter tall, but it appeared very mystical. Its snow-white fur shone with a faint, crystalline luster under the moonlight, and the small jade horn on its head seemed to be carved from the finest mutton-fat jade, crystal clear and translucent.

This is the young Unicorn Sacred Beast from the original work!

Looking at the timid white Heavenly Steed before him, Bai He thought to himself.

The mystical little Heavenly Steed stood on the crown of a tall ancient tree, curiously watching Xiao Chen, who was enveloped in a silver cocoon formed by the Heaven and Earth Essence inside the bamboo house.

Bai He stood up, preparing to go into the house to get some fruit to build a relationship with the little Heavenly Steed, but as soon as he stood up, the little Heavenly Steed seemed startled and darted away with a swoosh.

In the following days, the little Heavenly Steed came to the bamboo house where Xiao Chen was almost every day, sharing the Heaven and Earth Essence that Xiao Chen was drawing over.

And after realizing that the two would not harm it, it became bolder and bolder, beginning to approach the bamboo house where Xiao Chen was.

Xiao Chen also noticed it, but no one would reject such a cute little sprite.

In these few days, Bai He also became familiar with the little Heavenly Steed. Now, if he fed the little Heavenly Steed something like fruit, it would gladly accept it.

Time flew by, and soon Xiao Chen's injuries had healed. The two had been living on this desolate island for nearly ten days.

But even after fully recovering, Xiao Chen still gathered Heaven and Earth Essence on time every day, attracting the little Heavenly Steed to come over.

Whenever he saw the cute little Heavenly Steed cheering and jumping in the dense Heaven and Earth Essence gathered by Xiao Chen, Bai He felt a pang of heartache. Why couldn't he cultivate True Qi? He also wanted to 'feed' the little Heavenly Steed!

Time passed slowly like this, but in his heart, Bai He's vigilance never completely subsided.

He remembered that shortly after the little Heavenly Steed appeared, a large number of Realm of Longevity sect disciples would cross the sea to Dragon Island in order to obtain the Symbiotic Dragon King.

Another day arrived, with clear skies and refreshing air. It was early morning, and on the golden beach, the tide rose and fell, with waves crashing.

Bai He was picking up seafood by the sea. Although the meat of ferocious beasts was full of essence, he was still a little tired of eating beast meat for so many days in a row.

Just as Bai He bent down to pick up shellfish, a series of earth-shattering roars suddenly came from the Forbidden Sea in the distance.

It was the roar of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon!

Looking up, he saw a silver giant tail, as high as tens of meters and like a pillar supporting the sky, suddenly rising from the sea surface, and then slamming down, instantly tearing apart giant ships.

Towering waves rolled up pieces of the wreckage of the giant ships, and figures fell into the water one after another.

But in the end, there was still one giant ship that survived.

Watching the giant ship sailing on the sea, Bai He immediately dropped the various seafood he had picked up from the beach, turned around, and plunged into the dense forest.

But as if it had seen Bai He, the giant ship that had survived the rampage of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon actually began to turn its bow and slowly sailed towards the beach where Bai He was.
