Chapter 124: White tigers are infighting
Bai Yun slowly manifested 10 meters away from Yun Jhin, her eyes were analyzing Yun Jhin's form, she had seen how he left his family behind, this strengthened her guess of him being a reincarnated one, reincarnated ones usually didn't care about the people around them as they should have transcended the concept of relationships as they continued to live through different lives. All that remained for these people were profits and schemes to reach their dreams.
"Indeed, I decided to leave the planet, that damn bitch had already wasted all the potential this planet had to create another peak god realm expert... I need to find another planet where I can relearn the laws in the future."
Yun Jhin could feel that she said the truth, the laws of the planet were very thin even though the ki in the air was thick with energy, it seemed the Empress didn't release the laws for the future generations to learn when she died, only her ki returned to the earth.
It would take a lot of time for the laws of the planet to restore themselves because of her actions, this was a way for the Empress to take revenge on Bai Yun after her death, she decided to make things harder for her when she tried to achieve her breakthrough in the God Realm.
But it didn't make sense for her to leave yet, she wasn't even a sage realm expert yet, Yun Jhin's eyes narrowed as he questioned her:
"You are still quite weak... why would you want to leave around the same time as I am?"
Bai Yun chuckled as she launched herself at Yun Jhin, her body fully equipped with her ki weapon and ki armor, Yun Jhin retaliated as he activated his weapon and armor. His armor was different from hers as it was filled with the 4 elements.
Yun Jhin easily slipped behind her as he gave her a punch towards the chest, her armor absorbed the impact but she retaliated with her ki weapon which was a bo staff, the staff hit Yun Jhin squarely in the jaw disorientating him.
Yun Jhin jumped backward to make some space between them as he created his own ki weapon, he thrust his halberd forward at full strength breaking through her bo staff at full strength. However, the halberd lost strength after he broke her bo staff and so she could dodge and recreate her weapon, but she also wasted some ki in this situation.
"So you attack me without any explanation? You want to test my strength?"
Bai Yun smiled but didn't say anything, her eyes indicated that what Yun Jhin said was the truth.
Yun Jhin didn't like being tested but Bai Yun's battle strength was quite high, even though not similar to his he would still have to exert a bit of strength to defeat her here.
Yun Jhin's aura changed as darkness and light enveloped him, he used both the Ying-Yang abilities fused with the darkness and light abilities to create an aura that enchanted his stealth ability making him disappear from Bai Yun's senses.
Bai Yun frowned as she looked around, suddenly she looked down at her chest as she could feel a heavy strike landing there. The heavy strike made her armor crack and she crashed down falling from the sky.
Yun Jhin appeared as he flew to the ground, he looked at Bai Yun's downed form on the ground then jumped up as another Bai Yun appeared from the ground trying to hit him between the legs with her bo staff.
"Weren't you a male previously? Why are you attacking so viciously?"
Bai Yun decided against commenting as she continued to attack, Yun Jhin finally got bored of playing with her as he disappeared, his halberd was held in front of him as he sped up, suddenly the halberd entered through Bai Yun's front and left her back, breaking her armor and injuring her a high deal, but Bai Yun's body dissipated into dust as another Bai Yun appeared, however, she was visibly exhausted.
Yun Jhin looked down at her as he asked:
"Got enough?"
Her lips trembled as she asked:
"Who are you? There are very few reincarnated persons who can equal my power let's not even talk about defeating me..."
"Guess."
Bai Yun didn't know what to say, in her last life she was born after Yun Jhin died and it's been quite a long time since then, she also didn't listen much to rumors so she couldn't know who Yun Jhin was.
"Are you the ice Emperor of the humans?"
Yun Jhin shook his head as he left her there, she couldn't be of much use to him anymore, absorbing people besides for their bloodlines couldn't be of much use anymore to him, at this level only energy from heaven and earth could be used to enhance himself, the Emperor Realm needed the acknowledgment of the heaven and earth before they could do anything else.
Bai Yun got up from the ground as she pitifully followed Yun Jhin, she felt wrong, this was the first time she had been defeated in this life and so thoroughly to boot as well, she didn't know what to do, when she was at the peak god realm she wouldn't have seen herself feeling the need to follow someone in her life, but now she felt vulnerable. Then some more of her memories got unlocked as she shook her head, her eyes hardened, it seemed she was an incomplete reincarnated as she didn't get her full memories.
Yun Jhin looked behind him and said:
"Got some more of your memories now? Don't follow me, reincarnated people shouldn't act with each other, you should understand why we already defied heaven and earth by forcefully reincarnating against the wishes of the universe, thus we can move towards the same destination but we shouldn't go on the same path."
Bai Yun narrowed her eyes as she looked at Yun Jhin's back, she knew that if she followed him she could have a big chance to return to her full strength, he seemed to have unlocked his full memories and he could be helpful for her to unlock hers.
Yun Jhin looked at the formation ahead of him, they already flew above the ocean and were rapidly approaching the formation, the males had already reinstalled the formation to deter the stronger fishes in the ocean so Yun Jhin didn't have to his stealth technique, but that also meant Bai Yun could easily follow him, Yun Jhin also didn't have any reason to kill her, she might have some treasures on her but they were useless to him, he filled his quota for phoenixes as well.
Yun Jhin sighed as he arrived at the formation and looked at Bai Yun who was waiting for the formation to activate, he did a few hand seals to activate the formation as the energy in the surroundings started to enter the formation and power it up.
The formation started to whirl to life as the energy from the surroundings combined with the spirit stone Yun Jhin inserted in the formation previously activated the formation fully!
Yun Jhin looked at the surrounding formation as he was sent directly into space!
Bai Yun was also sent into space behind him, he ignored her as he looked towards the other two planets, he decided to choose the white tiger planet next, from what he knew about black tortoises they will be tricky to get and he decided to leave them for last.
Yun Jhin's body started to drop quickly to the location of the white tiger planet, it was fully white, that meant the planet was a glacial one and that it was winter in it 24/7, the planet environment was very harsh but the population of tigers was living quite well, this showed that their bodies were special and strong since they were born.
Yun Jhin looked behind him and noticed that Bai Yun didn't follow him, this was good, he didn't want to deal with a reincarnated one, her battle strength was high enough and she could awaken more memories the closer she was to die, she might even self-destruct if he fought her to death, there was no reason to fight with such an opponent, she didn't have anything he wanted or needed. He would only work with her if she had things that he could use, also two reincarnated ones being near each other could bring trouble, the universe rather hated reincarnated ones.
Yun Jhin's destiny was already immense enough if two people with high destiny lived around each other for a long enough time the universe would decide to mess up with them, the universe wasn't conscious but it would react instinctively when some types of energies clashed or mixed around.
Yun Jhin's body fell through the atmosphere of the white tiger planet, the harsh winds and ice assailed his body continuously to the point that blood was falling from his body and being frozen immediately at the same time.
His teeth started to chatter innately as he felt the cold seeping into his body, then he used his life and Yang abilities to slowly heat his body so he could adapt to the environment, as he fell through the upper layers of the planet the temperature started to slowly increase, the higher in the clouds the lower the temperature.
Yun Jhin's body was slowly adapting to the coldness as his body refinement was at the peak, combined with his abilities that he could heat his body to the point that the coldness wasn't affecting him.
He fell to the snowy ground leaving a small hole in it, he got up from the hole and looked around only to hear shouts and battles going all around him:
"YOU ARE COURTING DEATH!"
"YOU ARE COURTING DEATH FOR TELLING ME THAT I COURT DEATH!"
"NO, YOU!"
Multiple voices were shouting at each other as battles were going around, Yun Jhin entered back into the hole then he looked around, the white tiger's innate camouflaging ability in the snow was quite perfect but Yun Jhin could still see them, there were tens of youths around the Emperor Realm fighting here and there, some of them had different stripe patterns and Yun Jhin could infer from this that they were from different tribes.
It seemed there was an inter-tribal war ongoing!
Yun Jhin frowned, how come 3/4 planets of the four guardian beasts were rife with inner trouble?
The females and males on the phoenix planet were at each other's throats after he was done with the planet, even though the situation was better than before it would take a long while for things to settle down.
The dragon planet also got settled down but things weren't going well there anyway.
And now the white tigers were also infighting?
There was the smell of a conspiracy going down here, could the same person who had poisoned the dragon brothers have done something to the other planets inhabitants as well? Could they have taken the same poison as the brothers?
It could be most likely, after all, the four guardian beasts were a very strong race if they combined forces, they could have even become the strongest in the universe if they fused their efforts to conquer the universe. However, they were proud and didn't have good relationships with each other, but they weren't infighting, they were actually closely tied when it came to people of their own race.
Yun Jhin thought a little about it as he easily maneuvered through the snow to dodge stray attacks that could have hit him.
This type of scheming reminded him of those old righteous fools who put up the mask of righteousness on their face while they were almost as bad as him, truly hypocrites. Yun Jhin found their actions strange, why act good when you are bad? Even though he could be considered the scummiest person alive at least he was honest with who he was.
Yun Jhin shook his head as he looked at the ongoing fight, he decided to not interfere with them, he needed to get information, he looked around and tried to find some weaker white tiger he could ambush and kill to absorb his soul.
