On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 334: Divine Tiger Ancestors (1)

From the looks of it, it seemed like a secluded spot not accessible to visitors who came to relax at Yunwu Xianju Resort.

The lush greenery created a peaceful and secluded atmosphere, providing a sense of tranquility and privacy.

It blended seamlessly with the bamboo, adding to the overall organic and earthy feel of the space.

In the center of the place sat a raised platform made of polished dark wood.

The floor around the central platform descended in gentle tiers. Hot water flowed into a shallow basin constructed from smooth river stones, creating a soothing sound and visual element.

If one saw this place, they would immediately feel a sense of calm wash over them. The gentle sound of the water flowing, made it the perfect spot to unwind and relax.

Chen Tian's gaze was drawn to the center platform, where a Yin and Yang symbol was intricately carved into the wood.

The symbol seemed to radiate a sense of balance and harmony, mirroring the peaceful atmosphere of the entire space.

Chen Tian also sensed a great source of energy emanating from that direction.

"Is this the center of this formation?"

He couldn't pinpoint the source of the energy without coming closer to the symbol, but he could clearly sense that it wasn't simple.

Even after he used his chaos insights, Chen Tian wasn't able to see anything strange about it.

"This is my home," Baihu spoke after she let go of Chen Tian's waist and stepped towards the platform.

"Why did you take me here?" Chen Tian asked, feeling curious. Baihu smiled softly, her eyes reflecting like flickering candlelight.

"Since we don't know anything about each other, I thought it would be best to change that. That is why I brought you here, to the heart of my home. Let me introduce myself one more time: I am Baihu, the owner of Yunwu Xianju Resort and a divine beast tiger," Baihu said.

"I wanted to show you where I come from, my roots, and what I hold dear," Baihu continued, her voice gentle yet firm.

"Why do you even want to get to know me?" Chen Tian asked, feeling touched by Baihu's gesture.

But still, the woman had just come out of nowhere and asked him to marry her with no explanation.

Did Chen Tian believe in things like love at first sight? Definitely not.

There's no such thing as love at first sight anymore; in these days, a woman will always look for more than just a fleeting glance, such as financial stability and other important qualities.

For an expert such as Baihu she would probably prefer someone who stronger, so for her to fall in love with him, Chen Tian wouldn't believe such a thing was possible.

Baihu also could feel that Chen Tian was curious, and knew she had to explain herself further.

"I know this may seem sudden and strange, but I have my reasons," Baihu began, her eyes reflecting sincerity.

"Before my mother died, she always told me stories about our race and related to me how for generations my race has waited for the arrival of a human cultivator who possessed a unique power that could save our people from extinction."

"Save?" Chen Tian asked, his eyebrows raised. Baihu nodded solemnly, her expression turning slightly serious.

"Yes, save. When the day he appears on this forgotten world is the day when the old era would resurface, and heaven would open its door once again, taking us to a new beginning. That day, the world would shake and thunder would rumble, signaling the beginning of a new age for this world," Baihu continued, her voice filled with hope and determination.

Chen Tian listened intently to the story that Baihu was telling.

"Heaven opening its door? Is she talking about the door of ascension?" Chen Tian wondered to himself.

Even Wu Ye inside Chen Tian's mind thought the same.

When mortals reach the last stage of cultivation in their world, they can always challenge the door of ascension and try ascending to the Nine Heavens.

Of course, for such a thing to happen, the mortal world needs to have a connection to the Nine Heavens, or else such a thing as ascending is impossible.

"Since the laws of this world are incomplete, and with the lack of spiritual energy, it wouldn't be a surprise if this world isn't connected to the Nine Heavens," Chen Tian contemplated the possibility of Earth not being connected to the Nine Heavens.

Something that shouldn't be possible, since every mortal world is connected to the Nine Heavens, as it is the primary source of spiritual energy.

"Maybe it's this formation around the Earth!" Chen Tian inwardly thought. The formation around the Earth was so mysterious that even Chen Tian, with the help of Wu Ye, couldn't figure out its purpose.

"If I really wanted to investigate this formation, just reaching the Core Formation realm isn't enough. At least I would need the cultivation of an immortal," Chen Tian mused to himself.

Without a strong connection, ascending would indeed be impossible in a world.

Baihu didn't stop talking; her voice filled with excitement as she talked about her race.

Chen Tian could notice how Baihu's eyes shined the more she spoke about her mother and race. It was clear that the topic of her race was something that she was truly passionate about.

"So why do you possibly think that I am that human cultivator? It could possibly be someone else, and all your speculation could be for nothing." Chen Tian listened intently, considering her words carefully.

"I understand your concerns," Baihu quickly replied.

She tilted her head and pointed at the center of this place where the Yin Yang diagram was etched into the ground.

"My mother once told me that if I ever find that human cultivator, I can take him here."

Chen Tian followed Baihu's eyes and looked at the Yin-Yang diagram in the center of this place. The more he looked, the more his Chaos Dantian in his body reacted.

He took a step closer, feeling a surge of energy radiating from the glowing symbol etched into the ground.

The more he got closer, the more he could sense that this Yin-Yang pattern was also the formation's core.

"Drop one drop of blood onto the center of the diagram, it should do the trick." Baihu instructed.

Before her death, her mother had already told her how to activate the ancient formation. Only the blood of the person her mother spoke about would work, so even if someone else tried, it wouldn't work.

Baihu didn't know how this formation worked or if it was true, but she believed her mother's words.

Without hesitation, Chen Tian pricked his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the Yin Yang symbol.

He was also curious about what would happen. If this place really contained an elemental crystal, then Chen Tian would do anything to get his hands on it.

When the drop of blood made contact with the symbol, nothing happened, even after a minute of waiting.

"Impossible…"

Baihu's expression dropped as she watched that nothing happened.

"Why! It should have worked as my mother said it would!" She inwardly exclaimed, frustration evident in her eyes.

Chen Tian also looked at the Yin Yang symbol in disappointment, wondering if there was some other way to activate whatever this thing was.

Chen Tian wasn't going back without figuring out this thing!

"It didn't work. Maybe I was wrong," Baihu spoke, her tone filled with doubt and disappointment.

"Sigh, maybe…"

Chen Tian wanted to reassure Baihu, but before he got the chance, a huge wave of energy surged through the place, causing him to stagger back in surprise.

WHOOSH!~~!!!

A bright light suddenly shone from the symbol on the ground, illuminating the entire place. Even Baihu was surprised at the sudden burst of energy and couldn't react in time.

Mysterious patterns started appearing on the ground, swirling and twisting in intricate designs. Even the water in the area seemed to be affected by the energy, rippling and shimmering in response.

The bright light enveloped both of them and pulled them towards the symbol.

Suddenly feeling bounded, Chen Tian couldn't resist, and Baihu was equally shocked; despite her formidable strength, she found herself unable to escape.

The energy surrounding them was overwhelming, and Chen Tian could feel the spatial laws bending and warping around them.

"Teleportation!"

Chen Tian inwardly realized, as he felt himself being pulled through space. But even if he knew, with his Mediocre Foundation Establishment cultivation, he would be unable to do anything.

So he closed his eyes and surrendered to the unknown, trusting that whatever it was should be related to his elemental crystal.

"Madam?"

"Hm? Where did Madam Baihu go?"

A beautiful woman suddenly appeared.

The woman was a vision, with long, flowing, vibrant red-orange hair that cascaded down her back like a fiery river. Her eyes, a striking golden-yellow, held a piercing yet warm gaze that seemed to penetrate deep into one's soul.

Fox-like ears, the same color as her hair, twitched slightly, adding a touch of wild, untamed beauty to her appearance.

Clad in a dark green and black robe that exuded an air of elegance and mystery, she was a captivating figure. A silver bracelet adorned her wrist, catching the light and adding a subtle touch of refinement to her overall look.

The woman looked around the place but didn't spot anyone.

"Weird, I definitely heard sounds coming from this direction," the woman thought to herself. She thought that Baihu had returned, but it seemed she was wrong.

"Madam Baihu always runs like this when she doesn't want to work." The woman sighed with a heavy heart and decided to continue searching for Baihu.
