Liu Feng walked through the bamboo covering which provided no resistance at all, and found himself in a small opening in the entire forest.
The bamboo seemed to create a wall around this place, but Liu Feng suspected that even that was unnecessary. If this was the home of the tiger king, the king of the entire forest, then would dare trespass?
"So you are the human who has entered this forest after so long. I wonder, is there anyone in this world who doesn't know the rule that the great white tiger established?" the deep voice said.
Liu Feng looked up, and he froze with fright. He was inches away from a yellow circle with a thin black slit. A circle that was larger than him!
The circle slowly retreated, and it revealed itself to be just one eye of the humongous tiger that it belonged to.
Standing at perhaps twenty feet tall, the tiger king was definitely a large. He looked at Liu Feng, and Liu Feng could not even more, he could not even talk.
Those wide, unblinking eyes looked away for just a second, and Liu Feng finally was released from this trance. He shook himself and looked away immediately.
"And the guest that you have with you. Do you have any idea who this is?" the deep voice asked.
Liu Feng nodded.
"This guy definitely knows that Liu Man is the white tiger." he understood.
Liu Man was just standing there, perched on Liu Feng's shoulder, starting at the tiger king. The tiger king was doing the same.
"So the tiger king of this generation is someone from the dream branch. Truly fitting, is it not?" Liu Man chuckled.
"It was just my luck, my lord." all of a sudden, the tiger king started bending down once more, and Liu Feng could see it crouch.
Then, the entire tiger's body suddenly became a cloud of mist, and a man walked out of the mist.
"You should stop tricking him so much. Maybe if you ascend, then you can truly assume the form that you just showed us all. Now then, tell me, have there been any changes here in the last few millennia since I was in the cycle?" Liu Man asked calmly.
"There have been no changes, my lord. The White Tiger Cave has fulfilled its role and maintained dominance over the mortal world, while the Forest of Dreams remains untouched. Your stone is still untouched, waiting for your arrival." the deep voice came from this man.
"Good. Good. It is good to be back. But I came here not to rest. As you can see, both of us are not strong enough. If I am here, that means that I will need to get as strong as I can before catastrophe strikes. And for that, I need this boy to become as strong as he can." Liu Man pointed to Liu Feng.
"Why do you wish to waste time on a mere human, my lord?"
"He signed a contract with me. Well, I forced him to sign a contract with me a year ago, almost, and we are now one. He needs to grow stronger if I can grow stronger. So let us start by getting him to the Soul Evolution Stage." Liu Man said.
"The Soul Evolution Stage? For a human? It will take a while, My Lord."
"I have my confidence in him. He is talented. I am sure that he will be able to do whatever you put him through. You have two years. He needs to enter the Soul Evolution Stage. Beat him to near death, get him to unlock his entire potential, I don't care. I need to be in the Soul Evolution Stage as well when I enter the Realm of the Forgotten Gods in two years." Liu Man said.
Beside them, Liu Feng could only follow glimpses of this conversation. And hearing the lengths that Liu Man just allowed them to go through, he was feeling a few shivers on his spine.
"You are going to enter the Realm of Forgotten Gods in two years? I think it is not wise to enter the Ancient Realm so fast, My Lord. Although we have been in this world for so long, we know that unless you are at the peak of the Soul Evolution Stage, that stage is going to be too tough to compete in."
"Do you think that if I am in the Soul Evolution Stage, anyone below the Soul Transformation Stage can even hope to subdue me? Do you think that I am that weak?" all of a sudden, Liu Feng felt a chilling intent coming from Liu Man.
"Forgive me for my impudence, My Lord. It is not that, which I mean. Please forgive me."
"Then I think that I have told you what needs to be done. Liu Feng, this is a place that is completely separate from the Heavens as well. So you are truly lucky. You can practice that other art that you have been practicing as well, the one that you don't want the heavens to find out about." Liu Man said.
"How did you know about-"
"I know things. It is what I do. Now I will go to my cave and rest for a while. You, you have a long year ahead of you now. I think that you will love what I have planned for you." Liu Feng could hear Liu Man snickering.
Liu Man was gone. He left Liu Feng alone and went somewhere.
Liu Feng looked at the person he was alone with. The tiger king. Even in human form, he seemed terrifying. Those yellow eyes felt like they were going to come to life and kill him.
"You signed a contract with the great white tiger? So we need to make you stronger. We can do that. But you are not going to like it." the tiger king smiled, and Liu Feng had a bad premonition.
