The Quest for Immortality

With his physical body, if he were slightly scratched by the Tiger Demon, he would probably be paralyzed.

Mo Hua’s head hurt a little, and he became increasingly shocked and confused in his heart:

”Isn’t the tiger the king among the demons?”

”Isn’t it common for Tiger Demons to be solitary? The strong act alone, while the weak group together. Where did so many tigers come from?”

Mo Hua had no intention of battling these ferocious tigers. But these tigers kept chasing him.

This group of tigers pursued fiercely, while Mo Hua fled. They tangled for a good thirty minutes, causing Mo Hua to furrow his brows.

”I don’t even know if killing a tiger would incur some fateful evilness...”

”After all, tigers aren’t human.”

Just as Mo Hua’s eyes filled with increasing murderous intent, suddenly a roar from a Tiger Demon echoed through the mountains and forests.

This roar was more resonant, more vigorous, and sounded very familiar to Mo Hua.

”Is this... Big Tiger?!”

Mo Hua was startled and turned his head to see, within the nearby mountain forest, a huge, fluffy Big Tiger with interwoven black and white patterns bounding out.

The Big Tiger let out a ”roar” toward Mo Hua from behind.

The other dozen tigers instantly stopped, dropped their heads, and no longer pursued Mo Hua.

Mo Hua was stunned, feeling a bit amazed.

These dozen tigers actually listened to Big Tiger?

What’s going on?

Has Big Tiger become so magnificent now?

The Big Tiger, with its black and white stripes, again ”roared” at Mo Hua, seemingly unhappy that Mo Hua hadn’t visited it for so long. But considering the bond between them, it reluctantly greeted Mo Hua.

With a subtle expression, Mo Hua walked to the side of Big Tiger.

The other tigers simply watched.

The Big Tiger led Mo Hua, with an imposing air, deeper into the mountains. Mo Hua, utterly confused, followed behind.

They passed through denser mists of Monster Qi, arriving at the cave where Big Tiger resided.

Only then did Mo Hua realize that this cave had become much larger than before.

The cave walls bore claw marks from tigers, as if expanded to accommodate more Tiger Demons.

And this cave was the place with the densest Monster Qi in the entire deep mountain.

The Monster Qi inside was so thick it almost seemed solid.

The pitch-black entrance concealed startling dangers and killing intent.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense twitched, seemingly sensing something, and his face changed as his eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.

The Big Tiger, however, didn’t think much of it.

It only gave a low growl to Mo Hua, as if inviting Mo Hua ”home,” then twisted itself and entered the cave.

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment, took a small breath, and then followed Big Tiger inside.

The cave interior was more spacious and deeper than before, with more branching tunnels.

The intense Monster Qi was thriving at the cave’s stone wall edges, almost crystallizing into grains.

This was truly the ”Den of Fierce Tigers.”

Such an exceedingly perilous realm of Monster Beasts was an absolute ”forbidden land” and ”deadly ground” for human cultivators.

Unless they died and turned into ”food,” they couldn’t enter alive.

And certainly, no tiger would allow humans in.

Of course, Big Tiger was an ”exception,” allowing Mo Hua to majestically enter this forbidden tiger den.

They reached the deepest part of the tiger den.

And there, at the deepest point of this den, resided another ”ferocious tiger.”

Mo Hua glanced at it, his scalp tingling.

He wasn’t wrong; residing at the core of this den was a true third-grade golden core ferocious tiger.

This was a Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger, even a size bigger than Big Tiger, with black and yellow stripes mixed with white, curled up in the cave, its breathing like clouds and mist, eyes opening and closing like lightning, a truly formidable beast.

At this moment, this third-grade tiger fixed its gaze on Mo Hua, its eyes radiating an almost overwhelming presence.

If not for Mo Hua’s Divine Thought Taoism, nearly reaching deity level, having ingested the Dragon Soul, and possessing the blessing of Pixiu, he would have certainly felt fear in his heart.

This was the awe humans naturally felt when facing powerful fierce beasts.

If one doesn’t confront it personally, one can’t understand the majesty of the beast king.

Yet seeing Mo Hua, just a human Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to meet its gaze without fright, this third-grade golden core Dangling Eyes Tiger began showing Evil Qi, exuding overwhelming ferocity.

Mo Hua’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

A third-grade Tiger Demon, this was no joke.

However, just at this moment, Big Tiger stood in front of Mo Hua and let out a roar towards the third-grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger.

This roar seemed very ”majestic.”

The third-grade Dangling Eyes Tiger was taken aback, but then its ferocity gradually receded, and it lay back down, showing no killing intent towards the human Mo Hua.

Mo Hua was dumbfounded, deeply shocked.

This third-grade Dangling Eyes Tiger actually listened to Big Tiger?

Third Grade obeying Second Grade?

What’s going on?

Mo Hua couldn’t comprehend for a moment.

Then he discreetly glanced at the Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger lying on the boulder, pondered for a while, and suddenly realized that this third-grade Tiger Demon seemed to be...

A tigress?

No, not just this third-grade Dangling Eyes Tiger was a tigress.

The dozen or so tigers outside seemed to be... tigresses too.

All tigresses!

This means that in the Wutu Deep Mountains, among so many tigers, only this Big Tiger raised by him from a cub with fish jerky is... male.

Now a group of a dozen tigresses, along with a third-grade golden core tiger, all live together with Big Tiger.

So does his Big Tiger mean...

It’s become a ”kept tiger”?

A kept tiger of over a dozen tigresses...

Mo Hua gasped, finding the thought terrifying.

He turned his head to glance at the magnificently black-and-white-striped, charismatic Big Tiger, realizing it majestically looked for something in the cave.

Mo Hua looked around, discovering numerous demon bones scattered in the cave.

The bones were piled together, hiding quite a bit of flesh and blood.

These were all Monster Beast flesh, soaked in some unknown blood, some dry and some fresh, with some still oozing blood, some even being from third-grade Monster Beasts.

Big Tiger sniffed around, seemingly picking out the best piece of meat.

It picked and picked, finally choosing the tenderest piece, with shimmering white glimmers on it. Although it’s unclear which Monster Beast it came from, it must be of remarkable quality.

Big Tiger, quite pleased, held the meat in its mouth, intending to leave.

Mo Hua mused, ”Indeed, it’s living off soft support...”

But before Big Tiger could take a few steps, a low growl sounded from behind.

The third-grade Dangling Eyes golden core ferocious tiger majestically lifted its head and glanced at Big Tiger.

But Big Tiger was even more magnificent.

It stood upright, facing the third-grade Dangling Eyes Fierce Tiger, and ”roared” in a manner that seemed to say, ”Don’t you mind me!”

The third-grade golden core Dangling Eyes Tiger, surprisingly, lessened its intensity, its large head drooped to the ground, its gaze at the black-and-white-striped Big Tiger filled with warmth, and even a trace of helpless indulgence.

Mo Hua stood there, utterly dumbfounded.

No way, this Big Tiger... it can ”dominate by playing soft”?

It’s that capable?!
