Chapter 444: Chapter 234 Great Luck Effect_1
After Lin Yi agreed, Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand and the scene before them began to shift. By the time it stopped morphing, they were at the bottom of the Misty Forest Gorge.
There was no mist at the bottom of the gorge. Lin Yi saw the colossal body of White Painting, which always filled him with emotion every time he saw it.
The green giant python from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden was nothing more than a witch doctor,pared to the impressive White Painting.
The sight of the Green Giant Python induced fear, but the mere sight of White Painting’s immense body was enough topletely obliterate any courageous resistance one might have had.
On noticing their arrival, White Painting curled himself, slowly moving his head out from the mist above.
As White Painting moved his head down, Lin Yi noted the luminous white scales on its head, as they appeared to be glowing.
However, the traces left from the thunder and lightning strike on its head were still visible. This underscored the power of the tribtion, as even White Painting, the millennium-old python, could not erase these traces.
The traces of the thunder and lightning on its head seemed to be located on both sides of the brain. Undoubtedly, once it crossed the tribtion and transformed into a Jiao Dragon, horns would grow out of these points.
Zhang Dao Xuan gently reached out with his hand and White Painting obediently extended his head under it. Shaking his head, he sighed, “White Painting, it’s been decades. You’ve reached perfection in your Realm once more. This is yourst chance to cross the tribtion.”
“Although I have saved some pills for you, they can only assist you. They cannot truly help you cross this tribtion. This time, are you confident?”
Lin Yi knew very well that transcending tribtion and breaking through realms were quite different. Thetter could rely on pills to augment sess rates, while the former could not. During a tribtion, pills weren’t much of help. One had to depend on their own strength to survive it. If people were present to aid during it, the power of the tribtion would increase as well.
White Painting shook his head, but looked towards the sky with unwavering determination as if to say that, even though he was not confident, he would confront the tribtion with everything he had.
“Good. Cultivation is inherently an act against Heaven. Even if one knows that there is no hope, they must still give it their all.” Zhang Dao Xuan nodded and patted the head of White Painting.
Lin Yi felt that his Master was right. If a cultivator’s lifespan was about to end, they would seize the opportunity to breakthrough to the next realm as it could lead to a rebirth. If that didn’t ur, they could still live out their remaining years in peace. Many cultivators would probably choose the former.
However, there seemed to be a better strategy to improve White Painting’s chances of crossing the tribtion sessfully at this instant.
Hence, he proposed, “Master, why don’t we let Elder White Painting wait a few years before he faces the tribtion? There is no need to rush. I will increase the frequency of feeding him. Perhaps, this could awaken Elder White Painting’s ancestral bloodline.”
This was just a preventive measure. He set an approximate timeline but personally wasn’t certain when the awakening would ur.
Zhang Dao Xuan immediately recalled the bloodline of Zhi Ling, where the Mystic Pupil Illusion Mink and the Lighting Mink coincided in a single Mink. That was considered a miracle.
The one conferring miracles was precisely Lin Yi. Over these years, he noticed that the bloodline of the three Guardian Beasts, including White Painting, had improved to varying extents, with corresponding boosts in their powers.
Due to this, White Painting was able to reach Realm perfection ahead of time. If not, based on his estimation, White Painting would need at least another two or three years to reach perfection.
Zhang Dao Xuan turned to White Painting and suggested, “That may be a viable method. Zhi Ling, why don’t you let Lin Yi try it out? This isn’t escapism. Even an ant values its life. Now that we have the opportunity to boost your chances of crossing the tribtion, we should definitely seize it.”
White Painting took a moment to contemte. He lifted his head and examined Lin Yi. His once indifferent gaze had slowly be gentle. After feeding him for all these years, his view of Lin Yi was quite positive. It seemed like some form of attachment had developed between them.
White Painting then slowly nodded his head and extended it towards Lin Yi, as if expressing gratitude.
Lin Yi chuckled as he touched White Painting’s smooth head. “Elder White Painting, I will frequently visit to feed you in the future. We will work together and weather this tribtion.”
He felt that when the timees for him to reach the Transcendence Tribtion stage, he might have alreadyprehended some Thunder and Lightning Laws. The threat posed by the tribtion would then be significantly reduced. He might even be able to absorb the power of the Tribtion.
White Painting also nodded in agreement. If the tribtion could indeed be crossed sessfully, who would choose to walk along an unsessful path?
Subsequently, the pair bid farewell to White Painting and exited the Misty Forest Gorge.
Upon looking at the massive body of White Painting, Lin Yi couldn’t help but imagine what form the elder would take after sessfully traversing the tribtion, transforming into a Jiao Dragon, and acquiring the ability to take on a human form.
During his previous conversation with Pill Immortal Master, he learnt that White Painting was a female python. This reminded him of the legend of Bai Suzhen, although he had no interest in ying the character of Xu Xian.
Slowly but surely, three to four years passed. During this period, Lin Yi visited every ten days to feed White Painting. Each feeding session had a 20% chance of triggering bloodline awakening.
Despite his incessant feeding, all he brought about was a slight awakening in the bloodline. And yet, it was not that of a Jiao Dragon.
