Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 472 - 471: Grievances with the Yuqiao Immortal Palace
"Yuqiao Immortal Palace, such a powerful background!"
As he spoke, Gu Yuan struck once more, reaching out with his hand.
Xue Divine Tiger had been prepared, already channeling mana, his entire being solidifying with the surrounding void, like a nail unable to move.
At the same time, he activated his Lifebound Magical Treasure within, ready to strike and directly suppress Gu Yuan.
Here on Spirit Gourd Island, he wasn’t convenient to kill, but it was permissible to give a minor punishment for a major warning, to suppress him.
Once he took Gu Yuan away from Spirit Gourd Island, wouldn’t Gu Yuan be at his mercy?!
However, Xue Divine Tiger misjudged his power, as well as Gu Yuan’s power.
Even though he had some precautions, they weren’t of much use.
As his vision blurred for a moment, Xue Divine Tiger was astonished to find himself right in front of Gu Yuan.
To be precise, he was held tightly by Gu Yuan, while his Magic Power Cultivation, his Lifebound Magical Treasure, seemed to have lost connection, completely immovable.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Gu Yuan’s other hand gently slapped Xue Divine Tiger’s face, producing a crisp sound: "What of Yuqiao Immortal Palace? Aren’t you just a worthless piece?"
Though Gu Yuan’s strength seemed light, Xue Divine Tiger’s face quickly turned red and swollen.
"Planning to seize by force, you sure live up to the reputation of a True Disciple from a prestigious sect, excelling at bullying the weak..."
With those words, Gu Yuan grabbed his arm and just tore it off, burning it to ashes in a flame quickly.
Xue Divine Tiger’s face twisted red with anger and hatred, mixed with a trace of fear. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Let me teach you a lesson, before thinking of bullying with power again, first consider if you’re provoking the wrong person. What of a Second Grade Pill Formation, in my eyes, you’re just waste!"
"If there’s a next time, even if you’re a disciple of a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, I will kill you."
Gu Yuan sneered, casually throwing him onto the ground, then looked to the side at Yu Qiubai, saying, "Fellow Daoist Yu, we should leave."
"Ah? Oh... oh, alright!"
Originally stunned, immersed in shock, Yu Qiubai quickly regained composure, nodding in agreement.
However, his face was still full of shock and awe.
He certainly knew Xue Divine Tiger.
Not only knew, but was quite familiar.
Because Spirit Gourd Island and Yuqiao Immortal Palace were quite connected, Spirit Gourd Island’s owner Fairy Qingmu and Yuqiao Immortal Palace’s previous Palace Master were close confidents, having supported each other before.
Thus, there had been long mutual interactions between the two factions.
Among them, Yuqiao Immortal Palace’s True Disciple Xue Divine Tiger, due to achieving Second Grade Pill Formation, was quite reputable in the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles of the sea.
He was also someone many disciples on Spirit Gourd Island admired.
For more than ninety-nine percent of cultivators in the world, achieving Second Grade Pill Formation was already extremely rare, exceedingly coveted attainment.
Yet now, Xue Divine Tiger, this Second Grade Pill Formation renowned Golden Core Great Cultivator, in Gu Yuan’s hands, was like a small chick, easily suppressed.
If it weren’t for Gu Yuan intentionally going easy, Xue Divine Tiger would probably already be dead just now.
Only then did Yu Qiubai come to his senses, realizing that his friend Chu He, his cultivation and skill, might far surpass ordinary Golden Core Great Cultivators...
The two soon left, but before leaving, Gu Yuan didn’t forget to casually flick a Sword Qi, slaying the Kumi Beast, reducing its horn and body to a pile of mush.
As for others, they were both shocked and fearful, nervous and relieved. Only after Gu Yuan’s figure disappeared on the horizon did they breathe a sincere sigh of relief.
Gu Yuan’s mindset had actually changed.
Before Core Formation, due to lacking strength, he had to act discreetly, otherwise being too high-profile could bring trouble.
Even after having enough strength, this remained true.
Celestial Human Realm Cultivators who could easily kill Golden Core Great Cultivators—such formidable power also attracted much jealousy and hostility.
But now, having formed a Golden Core, his strength surged, noticeably more confident. Even if encountering some troubles or enemies, if he couldn’t win, he could escape.
After all, having formed a core, possessing the world’s unique Immortal Golden Core, why endure a weakling’s grievances?
When necessary, strike; if furious, annihilate; and not worry too much about provoked troubles.
Regarding Yuqiao Immortal Palace, Gu Yuan had some understanding.
This was a famous major force in the East Sea Cultivation Realm, though not an ancient legacy, it derived from the middle ages with a Primordial Spirit True Immortal presiding.
Moreover, its crucial point was its significant involvement in Spirit Gourd Island’s annihilation.
According to Profound Origin Daoist, back then, a Primordial Spirit True Immortal from Yuqiao Immortal Palace personally acted when Spirit Gourd Island was destroyed.
Thus, Gu Yuan harbored enmity towards Yuqiao Immortal Palace.
Xue Divine Tiger suffered such a fate not only because he courted trouble but also due to his identity. Gu Yuan had to act ruthlessly, to vent his anger for himself and his sect.
Even if Xue Divine Tiger was a Second Grade Pill Formation Golden Core Great Cultivator, having his arm torn off and burned to ashes by Gu Yuan was a significant problem.
One must know, mid to late cultivation stages become increasingly challenging each step, requiring exponentially more effort, resolve, and resources.
For cultivators, bodily integrity is crucial; physical loss leads to imbalance and defect.
For achieving Yin Spirit or Dragon Gate Yang Spirit Realm, one must have perfect union of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, to forge Yin Spirit or Yang Spirit Dao Fruit.
But now, with Xue Divine Tiger’s body incomplete, he lacks "oneness," unable to perfect Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
His future path in Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit basically severed halfway.
To reconnect this path, he must reattach the arm.
If Xue Divine Tiger’s arm remained, with some Spirit Stones, procuring some Spirit Medicine or Spirit Pill, he could reattach the arm with little difference from before.
Or he might cultivate some Divine Secret Techniques to reconnect arm and shoulder, regrowing flesh and bone, restoring as before.
However, there’s a problem.
Gu Yuan not only tore off Xue Divine Tiger’s arm but also burned it to ashes.
This left Xue Divine Tiger with no options for those routes.
Now, only two choices remained: cultivating certain Secret Techniques that exhaust one’s own life force to regrow an arm.
Such Secret Techniques are naturally extremely rare, but with Xue Divine Tiger’s status, it’s not impossible to obtain.
