novelNew Home, Spirit-Gathering Formation
| ← Ch.117 | Ch.119 → |
Without a doubt, it was extremely beneficial for him to gather the tiger species.
Moreover, now that he has reached his current strength and status, his every action and word represented the tiger species.
Even if he did not do anything, if anyone wanted to counter the tiger species, they would have to consider him first.
The relationship between him and the tiger species was inseparable.
There was no other way around it since he was too strong and there were not many tigers around.
However, once the tiger species were gathered, the ones who would benefit the most from the arrangement would definitely be the normal tigers, not him.
Even if he didn't gather the tiger species, with his combat power now, no one could force him to do anything. He could still remain carefree.
After gathering the tiger species, under his protection, the tigers were able to enjoy better status and have better living environments.
For example, among the hegemonic species—humans, which country dared to belittle the tiger species now?
Who dared to hunt tigers openly?
After he broke through the Third Realm, he saw from the Internet that many countries, including the big four countries...
They all had issued laws that banned people from injuring tigers, and violators would be heavily punished.
It was obvious why that happened.
Looking from another point of view, if all the tigers were like Old Second in wanting to be carefree, then he would not be able to gather them.
What would the outcome be?
Humans, including other species, would not think that the Tiger King was unable to gather the tigers; rather, they would think that it was the Tiger King who was disinterested in gathering the tigers—that he was unconcerned about the tiger species.
In that case, would they still be fearful of him and stop themselves from killing tigers?
They wouldn't.
Unlike now, the status of other tigers would not be as high.
To sum up, Wang Hu's every action no longer only concerned himself—it concerned the entire tiger species... and maybe the whole world.
If it were other tigers who behaved like that, Wang Hu wouldn't really mind. At most, he would punish and exile them from the tiger species.
You want to benefit from me and still be carefree?
Sure, I won't stop you. I'll take back what I gave you and let you live on your own.
I won't care.
Yet, Old Second was his biological brother, so he couldn't not-care. The way Old Second behaved brought about a very bad influence.
Currently, Old Second was still living in his territory, so no one paid attention to him yet for the time being.
However, no one knew what would happen in the future.
Wang Hu wouldn't be surprised if Old Second died without a good reason.
Of course, he wouldn't tell this to Old Second now. There would be a day when Old Second would figure it out by himself.
If Old Second was still not meeting his expectations, then Wang Hu might as well break his brother's legs and keep him at home.
After all, based on Wang Hu's abilities now, feeding one more mouth was easy.
He reined his anger and spoke coolly, "Old Third, continue to patrol. I will bring this rascal back."
Wang Shan panicked.
Roar~!
"Big Brother, I'm Old Second, not Old Third. Old Second—no, it was the current Old Third who passed me the Old Second position."
Wang Hu's mouth twitched, and he glared at him. He reprimanded, "How do you pass around these things? Alright, I know that you want to pay back Old Second for all the bullying you were subjected to. I promise you...
"From now on, you can fight Old Second every seven days... as long as you don't kill him."
Old Second's face turned ghastly as he lay on the floor; he was unable to fight Old Third now.
Wang Shan was originally a little disappointed, but as he heard the latter part of the sentence, he became excited, and his eyes glinted as he looked at Old Second.
Good, as long as I can beat Old Second.
Roar~!
"Okay, Big Brother."
Wang Hu's lip corners quirked upwards. He grabbed Old Second, morphed into a golden flash, and disappeared into the sky.
Wang Shan was full of anticipation; he could give Old Second a good lesson once he returned.
He swore to himself that he would pay back all the bullying he received—no, pay it back many times more.
As he thought to himself, he worked even hard to patrol according to plans.
On the other side, after 10 or more minutes, Wang Hu returned home with Old Second.
He threw Old Second on the ground and smiled wryly at Silly Girl who was walking towards them. He said in Tiger Language, "Baijun, this is Old Second. It's my fault for not being a good mentor. This rascal had already broken through the Transformation Realm, yet he only wanted to roam the wild alone without a care about his identity and the tiger species... so I gave him a beating and brought him back."
Di Baijun looked at Old Second—who was barely breathing—and decided to put aside her thoughts of wanting to give him a lesson now.
She said in Tiger Language, "Just teach him well from now on."
Wang Hu nodded and beckoned for Su Ling. He entrusted the task of guiding Old Second about the matters of the world to her.
Five days later—from Silly Girl's perspective, Wang Hu's injury appeared to have almost healed, so he started to renovate their new home.
The first thing was to remodel the huge mountain that was 20 kilometers away from the dinosaur world's world passage. First, ax the mountain from top to bottom, then to ax it again from the center.
This formed two perpendicular sides—one side was a broad platform; the other was a steep mountain cliff.
Their new home was on the cliff.
After this incredibly massive first step, the next step was to build a living space on the cliff.
The living room, bedroom for Wang Hu and Di Baijun, bedroom for Big Treasure and Little Treasure, bedroom for servant Su Ling, the seclusion room, storage room, and more... they also needed a few guest rooms.
Luckily, the mountain that they chose was huge, or else it would have hollowed out the mountain.
Only Wang Hu was capable of doing this task at the moment as Di Baijun's body had not recovered yet, and the others were not powerful enough.
Therefore, Wang Hu could only follow the blueprint that Silly Girl gave him and slowly created the caves by himself.
The overall speed was quite fast, though the more-detailed parts were more troublesome.
For example, the grounds and walls had to be compressed to the maximum, for them to be flat—flatter and stronger than the man-made cement ground.
Wang Hu spent a total of two days before he finally completed this task.
What came next was not his responsibility but Silly Girl's—she personally decorated their new home with the large amount of furniture that she bought in the past few days.
Tens of millions of yuan were spent freely.
However, Wang Hu didn't pay much attention to such finances now.
He let her spend as much as she wanted; just let him know if there wasn't enough since he would never run out of it.
The only troublesome thing was the delivery of items. Su Ling went back and forth constantly to retrieve the parcels—it was troublesome.
Despite this, Wang Hu did not ask the Chinese to help deliver the items. He did not want humans in his territory unless there were no other options left.
Thus, he could only continue to trouble Su Ling.
After placing the larger furniture in the exterior of their home, Di Baijun and Wang Hu looked seriously at one section of the ground in their bedroom.
"Baijun, do I just put the spirit stones on it now?" Wang Hu looked at the drawing that he could not understand at all and asked curiously.
Di Baijun nodded and said, "There are 12 Formation Points in total; a spirit stone has to be placed on each Point. Six kilograms of inferior-grade spirit stones should be able to sustain it for half a year since this was just a normal Spirit-Gathering Formation.
"We have 12. 5 kilograms of spirit stones now. It should be able to last for a year."
"Didn't you say that this Spirit-Gathering Formation could sustain our cultivation?
"A year is not a short time. By then, we should be able to find new spirit stones. Once our combat power increases, we can make a better Spirit-Gathering Formation, " Wang Hu said confidently.
This was the Spirit-Gathering Formation that Silly Girl arranged by herself. Its effect was to gather the surrounding spiritual energy, and it allowed the both of them to cultivate in the same place at a faster speed.
The downside was that it was powered by spirit stones. The 12. 5 kilograms of spirit stones that he brought back from that alternate world could only last them for around a year.
Di Baijun was rather embarrassed—she did not have the confidence to arrange a better Spirit-Gathering Formation.
After all, she had never learned it. Even for now, it was something that she remembered by chance.
The knowledge that she gathered all those times was about the cultivation techniques and fighting special abilities for tiger species, not formations or pills.
Of course, there was no need to mention it now, since this Spirit-Gathering Formation was currently sufficient.
The spirit stones were placed into position one by one and were activated using divine power as Silly Girl instructed.
Instantly, the image of the array formation—including the spirit stones—started to emit a faint light, as if a special effect was activated.
Wang Hu immediately sensed carefully and discovered that the spiritual energy from the surroundings was gathering towards their bedroom.
He was delighted. From now on, when the two of them cultivate, they wouldn't have to be apart again... as they could just do it in the bedroom.
After finishing the array formation, Wang Hu carpeted the 300-square-meter bedroom with a clean and nice-looking carpet.
Then, he placed the furniture. The most eye-catching one was obviously the huge bed.
Five meters wide and nine meters long—the bed was not bought but made from stone compressed by Wang Hu. It was extremely tough.
Wang Hu placed the larger furniture while Di Baijun placed the smaller ones.
The bed canopy, bedsheets, mirror, dressing case, wind chime, clothes, and others...
After half an hour, the bedroom looked completely new and different.
There were many modern human electronics, yet it was still full of antique flavor. It was homely and also grand, almost like in a palace.
Wang smiled and said, "In the future, this will be our bedroom."
A hint of shyness flashed across Di Baijun's eyes. She turned her head around and went silent.
Wang Hu did not say much; he was not anxious about this issue.
First of all, Silly Girl's body had not recovered yet. Second of all, he was sure Silly Girl would not agree if it was too quick, so there was no point in being anxious.
They went over the details once more before going next door to decorate Big Treasure and Little Treasure's bedroom.
As the two little fellows were too small—they were equivalent to two to three years old human children; Wang Hu did not make them live in separate rooms. The two of them had one bedroom which was beside their parents'.
After busily decorating for two to three hours, their home renovation was finally complete.
The first thing that could be seen when arriving at this place was a few-thousand-square-meter large quadrangle platform. On the steep mountain cliff was a cave about 30 meters tall and wide.
Upon entering the cave, one could see the drawing room where meetings and hosting of guests took place.
Only two chairs were placed in front, which naturally belonged to Wang Hu and Di Baijun.
Behind the drawing room was the living room, a space meant for the two little fellows to play at home and for mealtimes.
The room extended to two arms where Su Ling's bedroom, storerooms, and guest rooms were located.
Further behind the living room were the two bedrooms of Wang Hu's family.
The overall structure was not complicated; it was simple and straightforward.
It was more than sufficient for Wang Hu's family and a servant.
As for Old Second, Old Third, and Jun Wen; they will be living around this mountain.
Wang Hu created dozens of caves intended to be used as homes for them, and he even set a rule: the stronger they got, the closer they could live to him.
This was a display of status. At the same time, because of the Spirit-Gathering Formation, the closer they lived to him, the more they would benefit from the denser spiritual energy.
Once he completed his new home, Wang Hu stood in the drawing room and felt an indescribable pleasure.
He had a wife, children, and a home; his influence was also strengthening.
Both his family and career were fulfilled—everything looked so perfect.
He couldn't help but bring Silly Girl, who stood beside him, into an embrace and kissed her hard.
Immediately, it made Silly Girl whine sheepishly and pound at him.
"Are you crazy? It's daytime!"
Wang Hu smiled and let her do whatever. After all, it did not hurt at all when she hit him.
Eventually, Di Baijun huffed heavily to express her displeasure.
As Wang Hu was about to appease her, Old Second arrived.
Di Baijun regained her cold and stern exterior instantly.
Wang Hu also became serious.
Old Second, who was now called Wang Liang, entered the drawing room and addressed them respectfully."Big Brother, Sister-in-law."
He spoke in Tiger Language, but it was not taught to him by Wang Hu or Di Baijun. It was part of his knowledge when he awoke his bloodline.
When Di Baijun found out, she was curious... as the Tiger Language was the same as the Tiger Language from the Great World.
Even if it were the same species in the same world, there would be differences in language based on the different regions and customs.
