Chapter 290: The Mysterious White Tiger
Little Immortal didn’t dare to delay either. What if her blood lost its effect later? Wouldn’t it have been wasted?
Thinking of this, Little Immortal immediately released a pressure unique to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
Almost instantly, everyone was momentarily stunned by the powerful dragon force. The immense dragon roar shook the heavens, and a golden dragon shadow appeared faintly in the air.
And the originally dark forest was suddenly pierced by a beam of sunlight, as if all the gloom had been swept away in an instant.
Although the scenery was no different from before, the observant few immediately noticed something unusual.
“Is it over? Did it work?”
Little Immortal, with her simple mind, saw that no one was speaking and thought they had failed, her face full of nervousness.
Everyone then reacted. It was hard to imagine that Little Immortal, as a young dragon, could release such a powerful pressure. It was even harder to imagine her strength after she grew up.
“You did well. It worked.”
Su Chen couldn’t help but praise her.
Hearing this, Little Immortal immediately wagged her tail happily. Her slender tail slapped the ground from time to time, showing that her master was in a good mood.
“As expected of me! Little Immortal is the best.”
Little Immortal couldn’t help but feel complacent.
Su Chen smiled helplessly, picked up Little Immortal and placed her on his shoulder, saying, “Let’s go. We’ll go up the mountain now.”
As they embarked on their grand journey up the mountain, they could clearly feel the difference from before. At the same time, the terrain became increasingly complex.
After walking for a while, they reached a fork in the road.
“Strange, why does this place feel like a maze?”
Seeing this, Green Vine couldn’t help but say. As a tree spirit, she had a natural affinity for nature, and she had been relying on her instincts to navigate the forks in the road along the way.
“It’s probably to prevent outsiders from entering. The complex terrain can easily make them lose their way.”
Hearing this, Su Chen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said.
The more noble the race, the stronger their sense of territorial protection, especially for top-tier groups in the Western Wasteland like the Dragon Clan. It could be said that many people were eyeing them covetously.
It was not surprising that so many protective formations had been set up.
Thinking of this, they followed Green Vine and continued on their way.
On the surface, this maze looked no different from the mountain scenery, but in reality, there were very few paths to walk among the neatly arranged trees. They were almost walking along a fixed route.
After walking for half a day like this, they finally saw the exit.
However, the exit was shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult to see the way forward. It was like a giant beast lurking in the darkness, waiting to devour lost travelers who entered.
Now that this was the only way, they had no choice but to move forward.
Su Chen took the lead. As soon as he stepped out onto the soft soil, he immediately sensed something was wrong. He instinctively tried to retreat, shouting, “Something’s not right, quickly retreat…”
But it was too late. The originally soft ground suddenly transformed into a huge black vortex. The original scenery became distorted, and everything changed. They were caught off guard for a moment, but quickly used their techniques, attempting to break free.
But due to the restrictions of the sacred mountain, as soon as they used their techniques, they were forcefully suppressed. The suction force of the black vortex grew stronger and stronger, and in the end, it sucked them all in.

Only after everyone had entered did it become overly calm, as if nothing had happened.
On the other side, after Su Chen and the others were sucked in, they frantically used their spiritual energy, but this place was no different from the sacred mountain. There were still restrictions in place, but fortunately, the height wasn’t too great. Although they fell to the ground, they didn’t suffer any major injuries.
“Where are we?”
Green Vine rubbed her butt, which had almost split in two, and couldn’t help but ask.
The surroundings were also a boundless forest, somewhat similar to the sacred mountain, but the plants here were lush and green, visibly full of vitality, completely different from the death and decay within the sacred mountain.
“We should still be within the sacred mountain, but we’ve been trapped in a secret realm again. Otherwise, the sacred mountain’s restrictions wouldn’t be in effect.”
Hearing this, Luo Shen rationally analyzed and began to examine the surrounding scenery.
“This place is very similar to the sacred mountain described in the books, like how it was before Lan Bo arrived.”
Yizhuyue looked around and continued.
After she came to the Tianxuan Continent, although she couldn’t leave the Azure Cloud Alliance’s territory, in order to gather intelligence, she had learned a lot about other places. She had seen the former landscape of the sacred mountain in the records.
“According to the inherited memories, this is more like the sacred mountain from hundreds of thousands of years ago.”
Natasha pursed her lips and couldn’t help but say, then pointed to a small flower beside her, “This little flower is a sunflower. It grows towards the sun and contains abundant spiritual energy. It’s the nemesis of all evil, but since Lan Bo came here, he ordered all the sunflowers to be eradicated. Coupled with the later environment, it’s no longer suitable for sunflowers to grow, so they gradually became extinct.”
Hearing Natasha’s words, they couldn’t help but turn their gaze to the sunflower. The little flower was bright yellow, with a white center and tender green stems, looking very lively.
As soon as Little Immortal saw how beautiful the sunflower was, her craving was instantly aroused. She couldn’t help but take a bite of it, and after eating, she smacked her lips twice, “Delicious, sweet, like honey.”
They couldn’t help but be amused by her gluttonous appearance.
But before they could relax for long, they suddenly heard a loud tiger roar, followed by an earth-shattering sound. Following their gaze, they immediately spotted a white tiger running towards them.
Its golden eyes were filled with intense killing intent, its black and white stripes distinct. Its purpose was clear ━ it was heading straight for them.
This ordinary white tiger had actually reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm!
They instantly took up a battle stance. Green Vine was the first to charge forward, immediately using her vines to bind the tiger in place.
But who knew, the white tiger only hesitated for a moment before its body suddenly released a raging flame, burning the vines to ashes.
And the flames spread along the vines, burning Green Vine’s palm. She couldn’t help but take two steps back in pain, her face pale.
Yizhuyue pursed her lips and charged forward, slashing her sword towards the white tiger’s head.
But the white tiger was extremely alert. Almost instantly, it quickly dodged to the side, its movements incredibly agile.
Something’s not right.
On the surface, this white tiger was at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, but its reaction and cultivation were clearly higher than that.
Su Chen immediately released the Blue Tempered Spirit Fire, using it against the white tiger.
But the white tiger’s movements were extremely agile, and he couldn’t hit it in a short time.
