Chapter 991: Atavistic Dragon Soul!

An illusory white tiger took shape above the crowd.

“We welcome the sacred ancestor’s descent!”

Fan Lin led the tomb guardians in prostrating themselves before the illusory white tiger with exceptional reverence.

Though the white tiger was but a phantom, the aura it exuded nearly suffocated Ye Yuan and Bai Guang.

The two exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

The white tiger spirit had just appeared and seemed not yet fully acclimated, its gaze somewhat vacant.

But soon it adjusted, and its gaze fixed on Bai Guang.

“Hmm, it’s been over a hundred thousand years since the last summoning, hasn’t it? This time you’ve called me for this youth?” the white tiger said slowly.

Stared at by the white tiger spirit, Bai Guang felt as if his soul were about to leave his body.

Fan Lin said respectfully, “Yes, Sacred Ancestor! In over a hundred thousand years, he is the first perfect white tiger body we have encountered.”

The white tiger’s gaze fell on Bai Guang again as it spoke slowly, “Indeed, a perfect white tiger body, but a pity… the level of development is too low!”

Under the white tiger’s stare, Bai Guang’s breathing grew rapid.

This white tiger spirit was terrifying; every move it made naturally carried dreadful fluctuations of the laws.

The tomb guardian’s aura was already fearsome enough, but compared to this white tiger, it was like heaven and earth apart.

“Are… are you a Divine Path expert?” Bai Guang asked nervously.

“Ha… haha…”

Hearing Bai Guang’s words, the white tiger suddenly burst into laughter.

Fan Lin’s expression changed, and he quickly said to Bai Guang, “Bai Guang, show respect! The Sacred Ancestor is the grandson of the progenitor; even Divine Path experts must bow before him!”

Fan Lin’s words made both Ye Yuan and Bai Guang tremble.

Even Divine Path experts had to bow—how terrifying a strength was that?

Such a realm was beyond their imagination.

A hundred thousand years had passed, and what lay beyond the Divine Path had been lost in the river of history. But without doubt, there were also differences in strength among Divine Realm experts.

And this white tiger sacred ancestor was clearly an extremely powerful existence among Divine Realm experts.

The white tiger spirit said slowly, “Part of the laws are missing from this world; breaking through to the Divine Path is as hard as reaching the sky. A pity for your perfect white tiger body! Well, my time is limited, youth. How much you can improve depends on your own fortune!”

The white tiger spirit extended a tiger claw and gently tapped Bai Guang’s brow. Bai Guang shuddered, pain appearing on his face, and he floated into the air.

The white tiger spirit opened its huge mouth wide, and a massive light sphere emerged from it, enveloping Bai Guang.

At that moment, Bai Guang seemed to return to a fetal state, his whole body radiating halos of light.

After doing all this, the white tiger spirit’s gaze fell on Ye Yuan.

That deep, penetrating stare made Ye Yuan feel extremely uncomfortable, even giving him an urge to flee.

Neither in his past life nor this one had Ye Yuan ever felt this way. But this sacred ancestor spirit was simply too powerful.

Ye Yuan quietly entered the state of unity of heaven and man, forcibly suppressing that thought.

“Why did you let a dragon clan boy enter the ancestral spirit land?”

The white tiger spirit looked at Ye Yuan, but its words made Fan Lin break out in a cold sweat.

“Sacred Ancestor, calm your anger, he…”

Fan Lin only got halfway before Ye Yuan interrupted, “This is not Senior Fan Lin’s fault; I forced him!”

The white tiger spirit sneered, “You do have some loyalty, boy. But living in the same era, my white tiger clan has produced a perfect white tiger body, while the dragon clan has produced an atavistic dragon soul—this makes this sacred ancestor very displeased!”

Ye Yuan was taken aback, utterly confused.

Atavistic dragon soul—what was that?

Even with Ye Yuan’s vast knowledge, he knew nothing about it.

He had seen the perfect white tiger body in ancient texts, but the atavistic dragon soul he had never even heard of.

Before Ye Yuan could figure things out, Fan Lin trembled all over and looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

“Sacred Ancestor, you… you mean… Ye Yuan is actually the legendary atavistic dragon soul?” Fan Lin exclaimed in shock.

“Could this sacred ancestor’s dharma eye be mistaken?” the white tiger spirit said calmly.

“But… but how is that possible? Ye Yuan… is clearly a human! And the atavistic dragon soul… is something that appears once in a million years!”

Even with the sacred ancestor’s personal confirmation, Fan Lin still found it hard to believe.

A million years—even for Divine Path experts, that was an extremely long time.

A constitution that appears once in a million years—one could imagine how terrifying it was!

Bai Guang’s perfect white tiger body was a constitution seen once in a hundred thousand years. But this atavistic dragon soul was even rarer than the perfect white tiger body!

“Heh, with your level, naturally you can’t see that this boy was born through possession! However… his past life should also have been human. This sacred ancestor is curious why an atavistic dragon soul would appear in a human.”

The white tiger spirit’s words made Ye Yuan shudder.

This was the first time someone had seen through his rebirth through possession at a glance. The white tiger spirit’s strength was truly terrifying.

Fan Lin was even more shocked now; he could hardly believe that with his strength, he couldn’t see that Ye Yuan was reborn through possession!

The shock Ye Yuan brought him today was even a hundred times stronger than Bai Guang’s perfect white tiger body!

“This… this…” Fan Lin stammered, unable to speak clearly.

Ye Yuan forcibly suppressed his inner shock and asked cautiously, “Senior Sacred Ancestor, what exactly is the atavistic dragon soul?”

It was no wonder Ye Yuan didn’t know about the atavistic dragon soul; such a constitution appearing once in a million years could probably only be recognized by beings like the white tiger spirit.

But the white tiger spirit didn’t answer Ye Yuan; instead, it mocked, “Having an atavistic dragon soul and being forced to be reborn through possession—what a joke! If the dragon clan progenitor were alive, he would surely be furious to death!”

Ye Yuan was choked by these words. How was he supposed to know he had an atavistic dragon soul?

It sounded impressive, but it seemed useless!

No!

Ye Yuan suddenly remembered that when he cultivated the Dragon Wave, he seemed exceptionally fast!

A genius like Long Teng had taken over a hundred years to reach the celestial level. But he had reached infinitely close to the celestial level in just a short while!

Including the Dragon-Shattering Heaven Palm, Ye Yuan learned it very quickly.

Ye Yuan hadn’t thought much of it before, but hearing the white tiger spirit’s words, he realized something was indeed different.

It seemed… he was especially suited for cultivating dragon clan martial arts. Could the reason be this atavistic dragon soul?
