Legend has it that a long time ago, demons ran rampant in the human world, and the Jade Emperor planned to send someone to kill the demons and exorcise them. A tiger immortal general took the initiative to ask Miao Xiafan, and the Jade Emperor was overjoyed, promising to record merit for him afterwards. After the Tiger Immortal came to the human world, he found that the three demons who were causing trouble in the human world were lions, bears, and horses, and he planned to get rid of the three demons to deter the other demons.

The Tiger Immortal was also direct, and after finding the Three Demons, he said straight to the point: "You have caused chaos in the human world, which has already caused dissatisfaction in the Heavenly Court." If I can take it away in time, I may be able to intercede for Er and others in front of the Jade Emperor. If you are obsessed, don't blame me for being ruthless. "The Three Demons are used to doing evil in the human world, so how can they take the tiger immortal's words to heart?" Not only that, but he also taunted the Tiger Immortal.

Tiger Immortal challenged the Three Demons, saying that if he lost, he would no longer care about human affairs and let the Three Demons do whatever they wanted. If he wins, the three demons will withdraw from the territory of human existence and will not cause trouble to the human world. The three demons fought for their own strength, and they took on the challenge without even thinking about it. As a result, the three demons were taught a lesson by the Tiger Immortals in turn, and they retreated to the demon realm with satisfaction.
Lion essence
When the Tiger Immortal returned to the Heavenly Court after completing his mission, he passed by a river. There was a turtle in the river that had been practicing for a thousand years, causing terrible floods in the local area and displacing the people, so he once again suppressed the turtle spirit. After returning to the Heavenly Court, Tiger Immortal reported to the Jade Emperor the process of eradicating the Three Demons, and the Jade Emperor also kept his promise and recorded the three merits for him. And these three skills were written on the forehead of the Tiger Immortal.
The origin of the word "king"
After the Tiger Immortal came out of the Jade Emperor, he met the East Sea Dragon King. As soon as the Dragon King looked at tiger immortal's forehead, he knew that he had made three merits. Congratulations: "Congratulations to Brother Tiger for his military merits", Tiger Immortal and the Old Dragon King exchanged a few words of greeting and told him about his experience in the world. When he talked about killing the turtle spirit, the Dragon King reminded, "This is also your credit, why didn't you report it?"

The Tiger Immortal asked, "Are the youkai in the sea also mine?" I always thought that only the monsters that were removed from the land were mine. The Old Dragon King smiled and said, "Whether it's in the sea or on land." I ask you, did you kill this turtle spirit?" Tiger Immortal said, "Yes! I've lost a lot of time for this!"
Turtle essence
Old Dragon King: "Then you won't get it!" Whether he swims in the water or flies in the sky. As long as you killed it, the credit will naturally be on your head. Don't tell you that the reason why the Jade Emperor summoned me was to eradicate the turtle essence. I didn't expect you to finish this in advance, dude. How can I fight with you? Hurry up and explain this to the Jade Emperor!"

When Tiger Immortal heard this, he also hurried to apply for credit to the Jade Emperor. At that time, the Jade Emperor had already gone down to rest and was lying on the bed to sleep, when the Tiger Immortal asked to see him. The Jade Emperor summoned up his spirits to receive the Tiger Immortal and asked him what else he wanted to play? The Tiger Immortal then informed the Jade Emperor about the slaying of the turtle essence. The Jade Emperor said, "Even so, I will make another contribution to Ai Qing." So the Jade Emperor drew a vertical stroke on the tiger immortal's forehead, making the third-class gong into a "king" character. Since then, the tiger has become the king of the hundred beasts.
