Chapter 138: The White Tiger Scripture

  The inheritance of the mirror image has dissipated, but the White Tiger's inheritance has just begun. A mysterious and obscure energy operation route map was immediately imprinted on Li Mang's mind.

  This diagram is very complex, with countless stars twinkling, profound and mysterious, with subtleties hidden within. It's not something that can be fully comprehended in a short period of time. However, at this moment, an uncontrollable energy is helping Li Mang complete all of this. His entire body's blood cells are churning and boiling, his internal energy is frantically circulating and surging, following the path laid out by this cultivation diagram.

  "This is terrible, I've already cultivated the Xuanwu True Classic, and now I'm cultivating this one too. If the energies clash, I'll end up exploding and dying."

  Li Mang's face suddenly turned black, this was no joke, it was a matter of life and death, a cold sweat quickly wet his forehead.

  But despite his anxiety, it was no use, let alone cultivation, now even his body is not under his control, the only thing he can do is to feel numbly the strange changes in his body.

  But gradually, Li Meng discovered that the worrying situation did not occur. The Xuanwu True Classic is a water-attribute technique, while this new one seems to be a gold-series, sharp, strong, and overbearing. But it's not purely a gold-series, there are some other things, sacred, and others.

  Two energies are not merged together, but they are intertwined in harmony, interdependent and non-infringing. The inner energy of the Xuanwu Scripture has not decreased, nor has it increased.

  "Can two cultivation methods be practiced at the same time?" Li Mang couldn't believe it, this goes against common sense! Although he was a novice, he knew that cultivation wasn't something you could do as you pleased. Normally, a person can only cultivate one method. If you want to cultivate another, either you have to convert your original energy or completely abandon your previous accomplishments. He had never heard of anyone being able to practice two methods simultaneously.

  "It seems that my understanding is still too lacking, I need to find some time to take a good look at the comprehensive information." Li Mang felt ashamed, apparently, he thought it was his own lack of knowledge that made him unaware of the specific reason.

  It's not that Li Meng is ignorant, but rather it's truly unprecedented to cultivate two techniques at the same time. Looking through thousands of years of cultivation materials, there has never been a precedent for simultaneously cultivating two techniques. Of course, there are many other influencing factors, one being the technique itself, and another being the increasingly weak spiritual energy and the increasingly scarce cultivation resources, making it difficult for the masses to cultivate even one technique. Even if they had two top-level techniques in front of them, not many people would be able to cultivate both at the same time.

  The inheritance of the White Tiger lasted for an hour, and as consciousness gradually regained control over the body, the energy of the inheritance also gradually stopped. Until finally, Li Mang knew what he had received - the "White Tiger Sacred Canon".

  Finally regained control of the body. Li Meng felt numb in his feet, but still opened his eyes at the first time. Before that, because of the light emitted by the beads, Li Meng closed his eyes and didn't have a chance to open them, this kind of long-term darkness made people feel panicked.

  A pearl fell from his face and shattered into pieces with a loud crack before he could react, it was the White Tiger Brain Crystal.

  “……” Li Mang was stunned, looking at the fragments on the ground that had completely lost their luster, and couldn't help but feel disappointed. A treasure like this was broken so easily, it's a pity. This White Tiger Brain Crystal probably became useless because the remaining energy wasn't much, after passing on the rules and data inside, otherwise it wouldn't be so fragile. One throw and it shattered.

  "The White Tiger Scripture? This is a technique from the body of the divine beast White Tiger, its level is absolutely not low!" Li Meng came back to his senses and thought of the technique he had just obtained. The loss in his heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by a wave of joy. Although he lost the White Tiger Brain Crystal, he still gained something.

  The four great divine beasts of ancient times are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise. The White Tiger is one of them, showing its high status and strong power.

  "Huh? The technique that Master Zhang gave me is actually the Xuanwu True Classic. Could it be a technique passed down from the divine beast Xuanwu's lineage?" A flash of insight crossed Li Mang's mind, not just because of his wild imagination or merely due to a name, but because he had his own reasons for guessing this.

  The White Tiger Scripture originates from the White Tiger, one of the four great divine beasts, and its energy level should be extremely high. The energy of the Xuanwu True Classic can entwine with it without being suppressed or even swallowed, which shows that their levels are not inferior to each other, and they may even be two types of energy at the same level. Otherwise, they would not coexist so harmoniously.

  In addition, Fan Gu Dao once said that after cultivating the Xuan Wu True Classic, one's lifespan will be significantly extended, and their defensive capabilities will be very strong. After achieving the first level of great accomplishment, one can even predict past and future events. These are all basic abilities of Xuan Wu. It can be seen that the Xuan Wu True Classic is closely related to the divine beast Xuan Wu.

  "This... Fan Zhangjiao's cultivation method, could it be that he also obtained the inheritance of the divine beast Xuanwu?" Li Mang was surprised, but felt that something wasn't right.

  The Xuanwu True Classic is a photocopied version, and it's purely text-based. However, the White Tiger Sacred Canon has been passed down as 'dynamic images'. Of course, it can't be ruled out that Fan Gu Dao translated the images into text.

  As his excitement subsided, Li Meng couldn't help but think of another problem that was right in front of him: should he cultivate the Xuanwu True Classic or the White Tiger Sacred Canon? Or should he cultivate both at the same time?

  It's great to cultivate simultaneously, and you'll have more skills later! However, this requires a lot of time, although Li Mang doesn't lack spiritual energy or various cultivation resources. Ordinary people are already struggling to cultivate one thing, let alone seeking perfection rather than mediocrity, which is common sense in cultivation. All-around development? That's just a fantasy, a person's energy and time are limited.

  But if you can't practice both at the same time, which one should you choose?

  The White Tiger Scripture is in his control, and it's already certain that it's a top-notch cultivation method. The Xuanwu True Classic, although suspected to be the Xuanwu inheritance, is only a suspicion after all, and its authenticity needs to be investigated. Moreover, there's only the first layer, and the rest are still controlled by Fan Gu Dao. The future is full of unknowns - who knows whether he'll have a falling out with Fan Gu Dao? Even husbands and wives can fight to the death!

  So in comparison, Li Meng's heart was more inclined towards cultivating the White Tiger Sacred Canon. However, the Xuanwu True Classic was transmitted by Fan Gu Dao, and if he stopped, Fan Gu Dao might not have discovered it at first. But as time went on, the Xuanwu True Classic still didn't make any progress, and Fan Gu Dao couldn't have remained unaware of this forever.

  How was he supposed to explain it? That he couldn't cultivate? Trash would be eliminated, and now his freedom came at a great cost. Li Mang didn't want to leave Tianyi. This plan wouldn't work.

  Really explaining: Did you find a more powerful cultivation method? Don't want your Xuanwu True Classic... Li Mang, are you so capable that even your mother knows? Even if Fan Gu Dao is open-minded, it's probably hard to accept this explanation. Turning his face is still light, saying nothing of the possibility that in a fit of rage he might slap Li Mang into a pile of minced meat, either feces or urine.

  Thinking of this possible future scenario, Li Mang's scalp felt numb and his legs went weak, it really can't be like this.

  "Let's practice together for now and see what happens later!" Li Mang thought deeply and made a decision, but he couldn't help wondering if this was good fortune or bad luck.

  He is a typical example of being unaware of the blessings he has, if his fellow practitioners in the cultivation world were to know about his luck, having obtained two top-level cultivation methods and still being indecisive, they would absolutely rise up and attack him together. One can be shameless, but not so cheap.

  "Drink!" Li Meng immediately pulled open his horse's pace and let out a loud roar, the energy of the White Tiger Scripture spread across his fist. With a loud shout, he punched forward, blasting apart the Guimu tree in front of him with a deafening crash, leaving a deep gash on its trunk. A gentle breeze blew by, causing the trees to sway violently before crashing to the ground with a creaking sound.

  Li Meng didn't stop there, his brain seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and he went on a rampage of destruction against the surrounding Osmanthus trees, the thunderous crashing sounds were endless, one by one the big trees snapped and fell under his fists.

  The White Tiger, not only one of the Four Great Spiritual Gods, but also a god of war and slaughter, as fierce and brave as an ordinary tiger. The White Tiger Scripture originated from it, and Li Mang will inevitably be influenced by its habits after cultivating it. In fact, the Xuanwu True Classic is no exception. Not long ago, when he first started practicing, Li Mang swam under the Ghost Lake for half an hour and couldn't stop at all.

  Whether it's the Xuanwu True Classic or the Baitu Sacred Canon, Li Mang has only just begun to cultivate, and the habits of Xuanwu and Baitu have only just been revealed. In the future, perhaps there will be more.
