To have survived is already very fortunate,\" said White Dragon gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiger King knew that White Dragon was speaking the truth; it was just hard for him to accept the reality of being crippled for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a time when he was spirited and proud, overlooking all demons from his seat at the banquet on Zhilei Mountain, feeling as though everyone else was nothing but chickens and dogs. Although he had gradually recognized the gap between himself and great demons like King Niumo, he still harbored the ambition that one day he too would become a demon of that stature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the support of such belief, Tiger King began to grow through battles and soon metamorphosed, becoming a powerful Demon King capable of standing on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, everything seemed like a fleeting illusion; his dreams had been shattered by reality, and he could see no future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are we?\" Tiger King, after a moment of silence, finally asked this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are inside a magical treasure,\" White Dragon saw that Tiger King wanted to change the subject, and he didn’t expose it but patiently continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magical treasure!\" Tiger King was instantly shocked upon hearing this and curiously looked around. He saw a great sun hanging in the sky, exuding a scorching presence, indistinguishable from the sun outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself, what kind of high-caliber magical treasure could create such a world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his background as a mountain forest monster, he couldn’t fathom the level of power needed for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But White Dragon said, \"It’s not as impressive as you think, the sun you see is fake, just an illusion created by divine skills to blur the lines between reality and falsehood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiger King looked up carefully and no matter how he observed, he couldn’t tell the difference from the real sun outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What plans do you have for the future?\" White Dragon’s voice rang in Tiger King’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Tiger King fell silent. He didn’t know where else he could go. Going back to Zhilei Mountain, with his arrogant nature, he had offended many, and now with a crippled body, encountering them would likely lead to humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And leaving Zhilei Mountain was fraught with difficulties; the legendary Heavenly Net loomed overhead, and even at the peak of his powers, he couldn’t break through, let alone now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things considered, in this vast world, it seemed there was no place for him to be. He suddenly felt disheartened and entertained the thought of becoming an ’Ancient Buddha’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake up now!\" Mr. Bai’s scolding voice reached his ears, saving him from that state of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have strength but do not know how to use it, the Mental cultivation level is indeed worrisome, even with a Bloodline Awakening, your achievements will be limited in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Bai’s words made the Tiger King’s face turn red, and he became somewhat flustered. He felt a majestic aura from Mr. Bai, who appeared quite young, and dared not offend him in the slightest, only managing to stutter, \"It seems I have nowhere to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you have nowhere to go, why not stay here,\" Mr. Bai suddenly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?\" the Tiger King said, pointing to his own nose in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could hardly believe that Mr. Bai would actually ask him to stay, especially since in his eyes this place was undoubtedly an Immortal’s Blessed Land, which would surely not allow a monster like himself to reside and defile the sacred place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The owner of this Magical Treasure is also from the Demon Clan, how could he look down on monsters? As long as you follow his rules, there is no reason to turn you away from the door,\" Mr. Bai explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger King knelt on the ground with a sincere voice, \"Tiger King thanks you, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Bai helped him up, smiling as he said, \"Actually, I have my own selfish motives for keeping you here. After all, although the matter of Bloodline Awakening has been passed down from Ancient times, you are the only one who has actually appeared before me. I need to observe carefully and see what other secrets lie within this bloodline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger King grinned and said, \"At your command, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their conversation, three little monsters finally hurried over and curiously sized up the Tiger King surrounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, so imposing! Are you a Tiger Demon as well?\" Bashan Tiger said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his own body, the Tiger King thought to himself, isn’t it obvious enough what he looked like? Why did this little demon have to ask him this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could ask, he saw Bashan Tiger patting his own chest, saying, \"I am also a Tiger Demon, named Bashan Tiger, five hundred years ago we were part of the same clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, he tried to affectionately pat the Tiger King on the shoulder, but being considerably shorter, he couldn’t reach his shoulder and awkwardly touched his own head instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger King gave Bashan Tiger a suspicious look. Although the patterns on this little demon’s body were similar to his own, he didn’t look like a tiger at all, and he lacked the distinctive imposing aura of a Tiger Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am called Tiger King!\" he said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tiger King, great name, it sounds very commanding, worthy of being my brother. Yi Hailong, did you see that? This is my brother, treat me well from now on,\" Bashan Tiger said, admiring the Tiger King’s strong and robust body, as he stood next to him and bragged to Yi Hailong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Hailong curled his lips and said, \"Don’t flatter yourself. Just because you took the name Bashan Tiger doesn’t mean you think you’re a tiger. You’re nothing but a cat till death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, look at the patterns on my body, I am a tiger,\" Bashan Tiger said angrily, his words betraying a hint of insecurity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he also didn’t know exactly what Race he belonged to. Initially, he thought he was a cat, but as time went on, he exhibited traits unlike those of a cat, with a voice inside his Bloodline telling him he was definitely not a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So upon seeing his first tiger, this little demon stubbornly considered himself a Tiger Demon and even took the name Bashan Tiger for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1243,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e22d903dbb4a1d2e70708e440e0b5ba4b5c240c810f8da0a9ba49ff66381246","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-143","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-141",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
