The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Going all out and holding nothing back, Zheng Tuo displayed his most powerful techniques with his fists.

He stood there like a god, his fists waving as he battled the sea dragon.

He gave it his all, holding nothing back.

They thought that such powerful combat strength would be enough to suppress the Sea Dragon.

But Hailong's power far exceeded his imagination.

It seems that this sea dragon possesses the power of a sea god.

It roared in, exuding a despair-inducing pressure.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo immediately found himself in a fierce battle.

The sea dragon summoned by the sea god was incredibly powerful. Zheng Tuo was barely able to withstand the sea dragon's attacks. If the sea god were to make a move at this moment, Zheng Tuo would likely be attacked from both sides and defeated on the spot.

The good news is that Poseidon did not make a move.

The Sea God was aloof and disdainful of launching a sneak attack on Zheng Tuo, while the Old Sea God was furtive and seemed to be planning to make a move.

Zheng Tuo noticed Hai Lao's movements and became wary.

"Ebi!"

The sea god's deep voice came, directly rebuking the old sea god's actions.

The sea god is majestic and inviolable.

Hai Lao was so frightened that he retreated and dared not make any further moves.

The battle continued, with Zheng Tuo unleashing a furious attack, using the Thunder Dragon Fist to fight the Sea Dragon.

In the midst of this frenzied battle, Zheng Tuo slowly integrated the Thunder Dragon Dao Pattern into his Dao Fist.

The whole process was not complicated, because his understanding of the Thunder Dragon Dao Pattern was not yet complete.

The power of the Thunder Dragon Dao Pattern is not something he can refine in a short time; currently, he can only refine a portion of it.

now.

As the battle continued, he had already integrated the refined Thunder Dragon Dao Pattern into his Dao Fist.

boom!
Zheng Tuo threw a punch with all his might, injuring Hailong on the spot, but not killing him.

With his fists clenched, Zheng Tuo knew clearly that he had now fully mastered the Thunder Dragon Dao Pattern and integrated it into his Dao Fist.

Even with such power, it failed to kill the sea dragon before it, which shows just how strong this sea dragon is.

Now that things had come to this, Zheng Tuo knew that there was no need for him to continue fighting.

For him, there was no point in continuing the fight.

brush!
He stopped fighting and ceased his duel with the sea dragon.

Seeing this, the sea god wanted to control the sea dragon to target Zheng Tuo.

suddenly!

Poseidon ceased his actions.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the sea god's cage that shrouded the area.

Passing through the sea god's cage, he saw a man standing alone in the sky, calmly watching him.

The man looked exactly like Suzaku, who was currently fighting against him.

"Tao Shen!"

The sea god immediately deduced that the man he was fighting was this person's Dao body.

hum!
Poseidon raised his hand and waved.

Both the sea dragon and the sea god's cage have disappeared.

This place has been restored to its Qingming state.

"Who are you!"

Upon seeing Zheng Tuo, Hai Lao immediately called out to him.

But after looking closely, I was filled with surprise.

"You, it's you, you are Suzaku!"

As he said.

The Vermilion Bird Zheng Tuo, who had just fought the Sea Dragon, returned to his original form in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Tuo calmly looked at the Sea God and the several powerful figures beside him.

This sea god is indeed powerful. Judging from the methods he uses at will, his combat strength is probably no weaker than that of the Immortal Emperor.

I really didn't expect it.

In the primordial immortal realm, besides the Immortal Emperor, there are actually other monstrous figures of this caliber.

Looking at the sea god, he felt a burning fire within him, an urge to fight him.

The same applies to Poseidon.

Because at this moment, Poseidon also realized that the guy in front of him was definitely a powerful being of the same level as himself.

For a while.

The atmosphere between the two sides became extremely tense, with the air thick with the possibility of war breaking out at any moment.

But in the end, no fight broke out.

Zheng Tuo knew that his purpose in coming to this Wanbao Forbidden Land was not to fight the Sea God, but to find the whereabouts of the White Tiger God.

With this in mind, he had no intention of fighting the sea god.

I got up, ready to leave.

"stop!"

Hai Lao immediately stopped Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo paused, looked at Elder Hai, and was immediately frightened into taking three steps back.

But this old man had also weathered many storms, and now he stepped forward again.

"Hand over my master's Sea God Gourd before you leave."

It turns out that the reason why this old man was so bold was because his purpose was to help the sea god get back the sea god's gourd.

The so-called Sea God's Gourd is the gourd that Dao Ding ate, which spewed out black water.

Zheng Tuo did not want to be enemies with this sea god for the time being, so he immediately raised his hand and the Dao Cauldron appeared in his hand.

"Boss!"

Dao Ding was full of grievances and did not want to hand over the Sea God Gourd.

That Sea God's Gourd is undoubtedly a supreme innate treasure; if one were to devour it, one would certainly become stronger.

Zheng Tuo remained silent, and Dao Ding, left with no other choice, could only spit out the Sea God's Gourd and reluctantly return it to the Sea God.

The sea god put away his gourd and looked at Zheng Tuo in front of him.

"What is your name?" Poseidon asked.

There was no hostility, no contempt; it was just a very ordinary inquiry.

"Suzaku."

Zheng Tuo did not use his real name; that's not his style.

Since Zhuque Zheng Tuo lives in Wanbao Juedi, he might as well just call himself Zhuque.

Upon hearing this, the sea god said nothing more, but turned and left.

Watching the departing sea god, Zheng Tuo understood that he and this sea god were destined to fight in the future.

He could sense the sea god's almost uncontrollable excitement.

That was the excitement of seeing someone of the same kind, the excitement of seeing a strong opponent of the same level, the excitement of knowing that a battle was inevitable.

of course.

For him, it was natural to also hope to fight the sea god.

Like the immortal emperor, Poseidon is the most suitable whetstone for himself.

Now that he has obtained the Nine Dragons Diagram, the Dao patterns possessed by the nine dragon ancestors in the Nine Dragons Diagram are all extremely powerful Dao patterns.

He needed an opponent like the Sea God to clash with and help him refine the nine Dragon Ancestor Dao Patterns as soon as possible.

but not now.

Now, his most important task is to find the whereabouts of the White Tiger God.

Based on the information that Zhuque Zheng Tuo has been active here for a long time, there is a place called Baihu Ridge, which may be related to the White Tiger God.

Piloting the flying boat, White Tiger Ridge lies ahead.

On the road.

"Boss, you've gotten stronger!"

Dao Ding had not seen Zheng Tuo for a long time, and his excitement was palpable.

Upon sensing the current state of the Dao Cauldron, Zheng Tuo was filled with astonishment!
The Dao Cauldron has now devoured countless amounts of spiritual and divine iron, becoming exceptionally powerful.

He possessed more than a dozen innate treasures of various types, but the Dao Cauldron at this moment felt so special and extraordinary to him.

Although the Dao Cauldron hadn't broken through to become a Primordial Treasure, it possessed an aura even stronger than that of a Primordial Treasure. It truly lived up to its reputation as his natal magic weapon, possessing such extraordinary potential.

But there was one thing that frustrated him.

Dao Ding's personality is too flamboyant.

In this Wanbao Juedi, he could be said to have offended many forces.

Many forces even issued kill warrants, eager to kill Dao Ding as soon as possible.

Putting everything else aside, Dao Ding looted the treasuries of all the major forces in the Myriad Treasures Land, stealing all the spirit iron treasures.

and so.

Wanbao Juedi gave Daoding another name: Daoding, meaning "robber's cauldron."

Faced with this situation, Zheng Tuo had no choice but to change his identity and name, no longer daring to use the name Zhuque.

Because the name Vermilion Bird is also implicated by the Dao Cauldron, once it is discovered, it will inevitably attract countless powerful figures to attack it, and it is possible that even those who have broken through the barrier will take action.

They quickly arrived at White Tiger Ridge by piloting the flying boat.

Baihu Ridge is a vast area, lush and verdant, and home to many creatures.

Although this place is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, it doesn't seem to have any trace of the White Tiger God.

The Wanbao Forbidden Land is vast and boundless, comparable in scale to a mythical battlefield. To find traces of the White Tiger God here is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

And compared to that, the more important issue is...

The Myriad Treasures Forbidden Land has existed for an incredibly long time. In this incredibly long time, no one has ever seen or even heard of the White Tiger God's legacy.

The Dragon Emperor said that the White Tiger God was in the Myriad Treasures Forbidden Land.

Given the Dragon Emperor's personality, he wouldn't lie to himself.

With these thoughts in mind, he continued to measure White Tiger Ridge, trying to find traces of the White Tiger God.

White Tiger Ridge may seem vast, but Zheng Tuo's search yielded no trace of the White Tiger God.

but.

brush!
He stopped in front of a hilltop.

There's nothing particularly special about this hilltop, but when viewed from above, it resembles a crouching tiger.

This is also the origin of the name White Tiger Ridge.

He repeatedly observed White Tiger Ridge and searched carefully, but ultimately found nothing.

Thinking of this, he was moved and immediately activated the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern.

hum!
With the help of the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern, he began to sense this place, trying to find the traces of the White Tiger God.

After searching for a long time, nothing was found.

Could it be that the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern isn't strong enough?

Having no other choice, he made another move, activating the Xuanwu Dao Pattern.

With the Xuanwu Dao pattern in hand, I examined it carefully.

even.

He took direct action, using the Xuanwu Dao patterns to envelop the area, slowly searching inch by inch.

really.

As two of the Four Celestial Spirits, Zheng Tuo began to feel completely different fluctuations after using the Xuanwu Dao Pattern.

effective.

brush!
it's here!
He looked toward a certain spot on White Tiger Ridge.

There is a dry well here that has been dried up for who knows how long.

A subtle ripple emanated from the dry well, almost imperceptible.

brush!
Zheng Tuo descended and entered the dry well.

He found a jade pendant in the silt of the dry well.

The jade pendant is shaped like a white tiger; it is indeed a white tiger jade pendant.

The White Tiger Jade Pendant has extremely complex Dao patterns, which he has never encountered before, but which look somewhat familiar.

As the four celestial spirits, the Dao patterns share many commonalities.

Because he had cultivated the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern and the Black Tortoise Dao Pattern, he recognized the White Tiger Dao Pattern on the White Tiger Jade Pendant.

There shouldn't be any mistake.

The Daoist pattern on the White Tiger Jade Pendant should be the White Tiger Daoist pattern.

Since protective Dao patterns can be found here, this place must truly be related to the White Tiger God.

He activated the supreme Dao patterns to envelop the White Tiger Jade Pendant, then carefully sensed it, attempting to refine it.

But the next moment, a terrifying killing intent swept over him, startling Zheng Tuo into immediately throwing away the White Tiger Jade Pendant.

Followed by.

The white tiger patterns on the jade pendant surged and then transformed into a white tiger, appearing before Zheng Tuo.

The white tiger is entirely white with black stripes, its black and white colors resembling a tai chi symbol protecting its body.

It has wings on its back and the character "王" (king) on ​​its forehead shines with countless divine lights.

The White Tiger God descended upon the world, bringing with him an incomparably terrifying aura.

Those blood-red tiger eyes stared intently at Zheng Tuo, their killing intent raging on the spot, which greatly surprised Zheng Tuo.

The White Tiger deity transformed from the White Tiger Jade Pendant is exactly the same as the White Tiger deity described by the Black Tortoise deity, both in aura and state.

It seems I've indeed found the right person, but this White Tiger God doesn't seem very easy to talk to.

"Junior Xuanwu greets the Great God Baihu."

Zheng Tuo released a spiritual fluctuation in an attempt to communicate with the other party.

But the White Tiger God showed no intention of communicating with him and attacked him directly.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo was immediately frightened and activated the Xuanwu Dao Pattern Defense, blocking the powerful attack of the White Tiger God.

Bang!
The overwhelming force sent Zheng Tuo flying, smashing a mountain peak to a halt.

"what's the situation!"

Zheng Tuo was completely puzzled by this.

As the four celestial spirits, the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise are both easy to talk to, but why is the White Tiger so difficult to talk to, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement?

Although the White Tiger's greatest strength lies in its killing intent, making it a creature of slaughter, it shouldn't be this violent.

This time, the White Tiger God attacked again, and Zheng Tuo dared not relax in the slightest. He dodged and then attacked, fighting the White Tiger God.

During the battle, Zheng Tuo dared not kill.

Because the White Tiger God now seems to have only instinct and intelligence left, killing it would mean completely killing the White Tiger God.

In this way, wouldn't I have completely lost track of the White Tiger God?

What he wanted was the inheritance of the White Tiger God, the White Tiger Dao Pattern, not to kill the White Tiger God.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and waved.

hum!
The Dao Cauldron descended and directly absorbed the White Tiger God into it.

Inside the Dao Cauldron, the Great God White Tiger made a powerful move, attacking the Dao Cauldron with his signature style.

Although the White Tiger God's current strength is not at the level of a Wall Breaker, he still made the Dao Cauldron vibrate and suffer greatly.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo was completely puzzled.

Why is the protector targeting me like this? I haven't used him at all!
He carefully considered the reasons behind it.

But after thinking for a long time, still not knowing the reason, he immediately stopped his methods.

He observed carefully, looking at the White Tiger God, pondering how he could refine the White Tiger Dao patterns on its body for his own use.

Just now.

The White Tiger God also stopped attacking.

Could it be because of the Xuanwu Dao pattern?

Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat.

To confirm this, he immediately activated the Xuanwu Dao Pattern.

Immediately afterwards, the White Tiger God became extremely violent again and attacked him directly.

Sure enough.

The White Tiger God will suddenly go berserk whenever it senses the presence of the Black Tortoise Dao Pattern.

It seems.

The events of that year caused immense harm to the White Tiger God, making his hatred for the Black Tortoise God beyond imagination.

That is why, when he used the Xuanwu Dao Pattern of the Xuanwu God to explore this place, it caused the White Tiger Jade Pendant to fluctuate, and the White Tiger Jade Pendant to transform into the appearance of the White Tiger God, attacking him frantically, wanting to kill him here.

After understanding the reasons, he seemed thoughtful, pondering how to establish contact with the White Tiger God. (End of Chapter)
