Double Cultivation
reach maturity
The room became silent after Xiao Bai consumed the last Seven Silver Swords, and not wanting to disturb him, they moved to a corner of the room, where they witnessed the change in Xiao Bai.
"…"
"…"
"…"
However, when nothing happened after waiting for a few minutes, Liu Lanzhi expressed his doubts.
"What's going on? Why didn't anything happen? We've been waiting for half an hour now!"
"A-I don't know .." Fang Zhenlan shook his head.
They then turned to look at Su Yang, their only chance of getting an answer.
"Although you can't see him physically, he's already in the process of maturing." Su Yang spoke.
"He already?"
They turned to look at Xiao Bai, who had just been sitting there with his eyes closed, looking like a rock.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Su Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "He's coming."
After Su Yang said that, Xiao Bai opened his eyes and mouth and let out a deafening roar, which surpassed the previous roar.
The pressure from the roar was so intense that Liu Lanzhi and Fang Zhelan knelt on the ground, feeling as if they were suddenly carrying a boulder.
However, despite all this, Xiao Bai had just started.
As time went on, Xiao Bai's roar became even stronger and deeper – to the point where Fang Zhenlan coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Su Yang covered Fang Zhenlan within his Profound Qi layer, making him feel as if he was wearing a robe on his body.
"T-Thank you ..." Fang Zhang wiped the blood from his mouth.
Su Yang did not say anything and continued to pay attention to Xiao Bai.
"The "Spirit Guard was indeed a monstrous being loved by Heaven. Even though it was only a low-level Guardian Spirit, his prowess could conquer this world easily …"
After a few minutes of agonizing from Xiao Bai's roar, he finally calmed down.
Liu Lanzhi and Fang Zhelan looked at the new Xiao Bai.
However, when they did not see any drastic changes to Xiao Bai, they became worried.
"What happened, Su Yang? Other than its slightly increased size, it was almost like nothing had changed. Did it fail?" Liu Lanzhi asked with a worried face.
"What are you talking about? This Snow Tiger is all grown up now." Su Yang replied.
"What ?! Xiao Bai is an adult now ?! But he looks the same! Just a little bigger!" They still doubt.
He then continued: "Look at his cultivation base and you will understand."
Liu Lanzhi and Fang Zhelan placed their hands on Xiao Bai to feel his cultivation base, because that was the only way for most people to properly measure the Spirit Guard cultivation base because of their natural ability to conceal their presence and Profound Qi.
"Nature of the Earth Spirit !!!" The two shouted simultaneously a few seconds later.
"No way .. Xiao Bai was only at the fourth level of the True Spirit Realm before eating the last Seven Silver Swords!" Fang Zhelan expressed his sense of disbelief.
"You've been surprised by such a small detail? If you keep this up, you won't be able to handle the next maturity." Su Yang suddenly said.
"W-What do you mean by that? Didn't you just say Xiao Bai was ripe?" fang Zhelan said in astonishment.
"That's what I said. However, the snow tiger had two stages of maturity, and Xiao Bai was only at the beginning."
"What?!" The eyes of Fang Zhenlan and Liu Lanzhi widened like plates. Why did he tell them such important information now ?!
"You must be wondering why I'm telling you this right now. Simple – chances of Xiao Bai reaching his second maturity are almost zero" said Su Yang
"How do you know that?" Liu Lanzhi asked.
"Because the amount of his Profound Qi needs to reach that point is terrible, and this place cannot meet that requirement" Su Yang said.
When Su Yang said 'place', he did not mean this Profound Blossom Sect, nor did he mean this Eastern Continent.
Instead, it meant this world – this world that was not even a thousandth of what the Four Divine Heavens could provide in cultivation resources.
In other words, just like Qiuyue with his cultivation, no matter how much Xiao Bai cultivated, as long as he stayed in this world with a lower Qi, he would never reach his full potential.
And this was a problem that could not be fixed even with Su Yang's vast knowledge and experience as an Immortal.
"Although that was the case, he was more than strong enough to protect this place from all sorts of dangers in the future. His base In the Earth Spirit Realm, he would easily handle cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Realm" Su Yang said.
"Xiao Bai is that strong now ?!" On Liu Lanzhi's face was a delighted expression, as having Xiao Bai was akin to having a Celestial Spirit realm expert in their sect!
"Well, not right now. Without combat experience. If he were to fight with a heavenly spirit realm cultivator right now, he would only face defeat." Su Yang said.
Su Yang pointed at Xiao Bai and said to Fang Zhelan, "You should take him to the wild occasionally to fight with the beasts so as to gather fighting experience; that will be an important aspect in his future growth, especially now that he is mature. "
"Are you sure that's a good idea? The Guardian Spirit will attract unnecessary attention." It was Liu Lanzhi who expressed those worries first.
"It's gonna be fine. As long as you don't find someone with unique vision techniques or someone with knowledge of snow tigers, no one will recognize them. In fact, if anyone asks, just say it is a Silver Tiger, because they are very similar" Su Yang said.
"Is that so…"
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Lanzhi nodded and spoke, "i have made up my mind! Disciple Fang, you should take Xiao Bai outside for training whenever there is time. This will be beneficial not only to our sect but also to Xiao Bai himself, as he will be able to learn to protect himself. "
Fang Zhenlan had no problem with this and nodded. "I understand, matriak."
