“We can’t find the black pearl when he’s alive. Do you think the black pearl would appear if he died?” Wang Hu thought for a moment before speaking.

Anyone would be tempted to obtain a Fifth Realm treasure—even him.

?

Treasures like this already reached the Dao treasure level.

He gained quite an understanding of Dharma treasures and the likes from Silly Girl.

Dharma treasures were roughly categorized into three types: attack types, defense types, and assistance types.

To be precise, the various treasures were mostly categorized as assistance-type Dharma treasures.

However, because the different treasures had different functions, and some may even be very unusual, making it hard to judge their grades.

Hence, many worlds separated treasures from Dharma treasures.

The grades of Dharma treasures were Dharma artifacts and Dharma treasures, as well as Dao artifacts and Dao treasures that were used after the Fourth Realm.

As for treasures, many beings prefer to determine one’s grade by discerning the cultivator’s realm to whom the treasure was still suitable.

First Realm treasure, Second Realm treasure, Third Realm treasure… so on and so forth.

Silly Girl herself preferred this way as well.

“Treasures are unusual and mysterious. It may only appear when it comes across the right owner.

“If this black dragon was killed, the black pearl may appear, or it may also disappear right away,” Di Baijun said with uncertainty.

Although she reminded the rascal not to be bothered by this treasure, she would definitely not refuse the opportunity to obtain a Fifth Realm treasure if it were possible.

The reminder was just a casual one.

She did want to kill the black dragon, but she could not be bothered to lie about this matter.

She really wasn’t sure if they could get the black pearl by killing the black dragon.

Treasures had their own spirit; if a treasure likely at the Fifth Realm was unwilling to be found, there was no use even if they killed the black dragon.

Wang Hu nodded. A rare sense of hesitation welled up in him.

Should he kill the black dragon?

Or let it live?

Killing the dragon was nothing. At worst, they wouldn’t obtain anything.

If they didn’t kill the dragon, the gains were significant; however, what Silly Girl said was correct.

Instead of keeping this black dragon, they might as well keep a dog.

Once this black dragon was powerful enough or had the opportunity, he would definitely come back to bite Wang Hu.

Wang Hu did not have any means that could control the black dragon completely.

He was not afraid and was confident that this black dragon could only be an obedient dog.

Even Silly Girl herself was capable of making the dragon loyal and faithful.

However, it’s still a venomous snake that would bite the hands of its owner. He couldn’t be bothered to go through the hassle of reining in an ungrateful subordinate.

Once he made up his mind, he casually said, “Baijun, we don’t have any means to control him; let’s just kill him.”

On the other hand, Di Baijun hesitated. She pursed her lips and said, “Actually, our tiger species do have a way to control creatures.”

Wang Hu looked at Silly Girl in surprise.

Di Baijun’s expression was slightly stern, and she said seriously, “Our tiger species may have such means, but I have never used it before.

“Because even though our tiger species controlled the Dao of life and death, we are upright and honorable. We fight the sky and battle the earth, and we do not fear a thing. We gain a standing in the universe through magnificence and our domineering might.

“To control others using certain means was considered unscrupulous no matter what, and our tiger species find it dishonorable to do so.

“Hence, since the creation of this method, it was not widely spread among the tiger species and was only used when there was no other choice.”

As she spoke, she looked seriously and solemnly at Wang Hu. She then continued: “I hope you don’t use methods like this excessively as well. As to how we should handle this black dragon, you may decide.”

As she finished, a white glow rose from her eyes, and a huge amount of information entered Wang Hu’s brain.

Wang Hu suppressed his Extreme Defense Wall of Dao to receive the information. He now had complete knowledge of the method of controlling creatures.

It was not hard. For the tiger species, it could even be said that it was simple.

It was a mystical technique created by the tiger species to control other species.

It was only useful against other species and could not be used against fellow tigers.

He quickly ran through this method called the Spirit-Controlling Sutra and opened his eyes. Wang Hu looked seriously at Silly Girl and said solemnly, “Baijun, don’t worry. I don’t like such methods either.

“I will not use it excessively.”

He paid heed to Silly Girl’s words.

There were numerous species and countless forces in the universe; there was also an innumerable amount of mystic techniques that were used to control creatures and powerful beings.

However, none of the top species or beings ascended to the top through such Dharmic formulations.

Such Dharmic formulations should only be used when necessary. It was bad to use it excessively; neither was it to his liking.

If the other party was not willing to be his subordinate, he could very well just kill them. If he forcefully controlled the other party by threatening them with their lives, there would be a day when it would come back and bite him, especially if he used it too much.

The most important thing for a species or a force was to be united. Using such methods would never unite a species.

Di Baijun saw that Wang Hu was earnest when he spoke. She nodded and did not continue to speak.

She trusted this rascal.

Wang Hu looked at the black dragon, and he thought for a few seconds. He said, “Baijun, this black dragon is quite powerful, and he also has good potential. We have the means to control him now, should we keep him first? If we have no more use for him in the future, it won’t be too late to kill him then.”

Di Baijun did not oppose and approved silently.

Wang Hu felt a heartwarming sensation. He knew that Silly Girl was actually unhappy with the existence of the black dragon.

Although the black dragon had its own reasons, it did not hide the fact that he betrayed his own species.

It was a fact, and there was nothing more that could be said.

By imparting him the Spirit-Controlling Sutra and agreeing to keep the black dragon, she did it all for him.

There was no way he wouldn’t feel touched.

The reason why he wanted to keep the black dragon was simple. The black dragon would serve some use for now as a subordinate.

More importantly, with the black dragon’s experience, his potential was likely to be good and had good growth prospects. It would be a pity to just simply kill him.

To put it simply, he was quite curious how this black dragon, who seemed to be on a ‘protagonist mode’, would continue to grow in the future. He hoped to be surprised by the black dragon.

Even though the black dragon would not have much loyalty if Wang Hu controlled him with the Spirit-Controlling Sutra, Wang Hu did not require his loyalty.

The black dragon would just be a venomous snake that Wang Hu bred. It was sufficient if it became useful during a crucial moment.

Wang Hu silently familiarized himself with the Spirit-Controlling Sutra and walked towards the black dragon who was filled with trepidation while waiting for his verdict.

Wang Hu said coldly, “I will give you one chance. I will be imprinting a restriction in your soul, and it will destroy your soul with the use of my telepathic instruction.

“You may choose yourself.”

The black dragon trembled after he heard Wang Hu.

The Tiger King had a Dharmic formulation that could control creatures like this!

He thought that the worst that might happen was if the Tiger King left a trace of power in his body.

That was also the most common way of controlling other beings in the universe.

Only the powerful could use it on the weak. When the time came, the powerful were able to implode the power and destroy the body of the weak.

If the parties did not differ much in combat power, the most such a method could do was to injure the other party.

However, the method that the Tiger King mentioned was obviously quite different.

It was likely that whether he lived or died in the future would rely on a single decision of the Tiger King.

When he thought of this, the black dragon became hesitant.

A second later, after he saw that the Tiger King’s expression turned ruthless, he did not dare to think any further. He immediately said, “Okay. Please imprint the restriction.”

Wang Hu was not surprised. They already progressed to this point. If the black dragon still refused and instead chose to die, then he would be a fool…

Who deserved to die.

“Let go of your soul and do not resist.”

After he ended his sentence, his soul powers coupled with divine powers entered the black dragon’s brain once again.

The soul of any creature was mysterious and profound.

One would discover its profoundness and complexity by doing a little research into it.

The Spirit-Controlling Sutra was to use the tiger species’ own soul power to imprint a restriction that was hard to remove and destroy in the other party’s soul.

When the situation required it, the being who created the imprint just had to send a telepathic instruction, and the restriction would destroy the soul of the imprinted being.

Every species’s soul was different. The Spirit-Controlling Sutra was created for the tiger species; hence, it was not difficult for the tiger species to use it.

However, if it was passed on to another species, they might not be able to use it at all.

Wang Hu may be new to it, but it was not difficult to pick up the technique with his talent.

He didn’t take long to imprint the restriction. Just then, he realized that he could even sense the black dragon’s current situation through the restriction.

The moment the other party tried to destroy the restriction, he could activate the restriction anytime and kill them.

Actually, Wang Hu was not worried that the black dragon could destroy the restriction safely. This was something that Silly Girl imparted to him; he could easily imagine how profound it was.

If it could be easily destroyed by the black dragon, then it would put the name of the tiger species as the supreme species of the universe to shame.

Wang Hu retracted his power and looked at the black dragon who lay badly injured on the ground. He said, “From today onwards, you shall be a part of my Tiger King’s Cave. Remember, this is your only chance.

“Before you betray me, be fully prepared.”

The black dragon, who was trying to sense the restriction, felt a tremble in his heart. He immediately said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Hei Fan would definitely not dare to betray Your Majesty and the Queen.”

His original name was Hei Fan; his surname was Hei, and his given name was Fan.

This name, especially the given?name¹, was one of the reasons why Wang Hu thought of the ‘protagonist mode’.

The word ‘Fan’ was used by far too many people, and these people were by no means ‘common’ in any sense.

“Ha.”

A faint smirk appeared on Wang Hu’s face, showing his amusement.

“I’m quite curious how far you can grow and whether you can escape from my clutches or not. Work hard.”

Hei Fan felt his heart skip a beat again. A pressure filled his entire body, one that he could not muster any courage to resist.

He quickly lowered his head to express his submission and reverence.

Wang Hu turned around and walked towards Silly Girl. As he walked, he said, “Recuperate your wounds by yourself. I will be waiting for you at the Tiger King’s Cave.”

“Yes,” Hei Fan immediately complied.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Hu and Di Baijun morphed into two rays of light and disappeared.

Hei Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He lived.

However…

He recalled everything that just happened and resentment filled his heart.

From now on, he could only submit to that Tiger King.

As he thought about it, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

After a while, he finally repressed the resentment and hatred that he felt in his heart.

No matter what, he survived, and his treasure was not lost. He still had hope.

He would definitely find a way to escape from the Tiger King’s control in the future.

However, when he thought of that Tiger King, he felt another surge of pressure.

He didn’t even feel as much pressure when faced with the Tiger Queen who had the power to restrain him.

Somehow, he felt a lack of self-confidence.?Will I really be able to escape from his clutches?

His eyes turned bleary for a second, and it was filled with hatred immediately afterward.

“Even if I can’t escape, I must take revenge against my father, my brothers, and my father’s concubines! Hmph! Just all of you wait.”

The voice released from clenched teeth was filled with incredible hatred.

He took a while to finally quiet down and recuperate his injuries.

On the other side, in the Tiger King’s Cave…

When they returned to the cave, Wang Hu told Di Baijun, “I think that Hei Fan, which is that black dragon, might be extraordinary; he might serve some use in the future.

“He might even bring us some surprises.

“Although it feels like keeping a venomous snake, it would not be able to do anything as long as you and I were around.

“Perhaps one day, we could unleash this venomous snake and let it bite someone.”

Di Baijun nodded. Since this rascal has already decided, she wouldn’t worry about it.

She only said, “If that worm does something in the future that I cannot tolerate, don’t stop me if I kill it.”

“Of course, whenever Silly Girl wants to kill it, our family will just have dragon meat that day, in whichever cuisine method you prefer,” Wang Hu joked without hesitation.

It was a casual decision to keep that Hei Fan because he thought that it was a pity to just kill Hei Fan off so easily.

If Hei Fan made Silly Girl angry in the future, then it was nothing if they just killed it.

Traces of amusement appeared in Di Baijun’s face, and she continued to say, “That worm may be nothing to us, but it’s not easy for the other beasts of Tiger King’s Cave to deal with it. We should still be careful.”

“Don’t worry. He’s just a worm and can’t do much. If it dares to cause trouble, then we’ll just crush it,” Wang Hu said confidently and calmly.

Di Baijun did not say anything else. She was fine as long as the rascal was aware of what might happen.

Afterward, Wang Hu phoned Li Aimin and informed him about the position of that world passage as well as the information about that world.

Li Aimin’s heart felt even heavier. He quickly expressed his thanks and ended the call.

Obviously, he needed to plan the defense against that world passage immediately.

After an hour, Hei Fan—who barely suppressed his injuries—arrived at the Tiger King’s Cave.

Wang Hu handed him to Old Second and asked Old Second to make arrangements for him.

For the time being, Hei Fan was supposed to familiarize himself with the Tiger King’s Cave and recuperate.

A day later…

Just as China and the other countries were thinking of ways to block the world passage that led to the Dragon Clan’s world…

An unexpected event happened.

Growl!

A loud dragon’s moan sounded from the world passage, and a golden dragon dashed out from the world passage more than a thousand meters underwater.

What followed was numerous species of various oceanic creatures.

Giant prawns, big crabs, long snakes, sharks, seahorses, dragons, and so on flooded out of the world passage one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the underwater world was filled with a terrifying amount of soldiers.

Right in front were dozens of golden dragons.

One of them was Jin Qiong.

“Third Prince, is this that world?” A golden dragon asked Jin Qiong.

Jin Qiong nodded, and his dragon eyes looked toward South Korea with detestation.

“That’s right, this is it.”

“A world with spiritual energy density not more than mid-level Third Realm… it’s incredible that it had such an extraordinary world passage.

“Powerful beings in the mid-level Divine Body Realm or greater were unable to enter. Not even your father, the prince, could enter,” a golden dragon said, feeling amazed.

The other golden dragons nodded and felt the same as well.

“Alright, Father said that there may be a huge secret in this world. He instructed us to quickly occupy this world.

“Let’s start with South Korea.”

Jin Qiong said.

“Yes,” all the golden dragons replied.
