Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Yellow Dog naturally took the currently useless oil lamp, and then happily stretched out its large body, swaggering around the Land of Heritage, making a big show out of its strength.
The Black Dog Brett followed pitifully behind Xue Ba’s tail, looking towards the sky. If it was not careful, it would be swept to the side, or crush under-paw, but it still did not dare to hide far away.
News of the Yellow Dog Xue Ba’s advancement had long since spread across the entire Land of Heritage.
Two months ago, an aura far higher than Pond-level appeared before. The Truth Department knew that it belonged to the Celestial Insect from the Outer Realm, and very quickly placated the many demons.
However, this newly appeared aura was obviously from the advancement of a large demon.
Everyone knew that the strongest power-level here was a Peak Pond-level. According to the power-level evaluation that recently became popular among the humans, Shaz the King Cobra, as the incarnation of the God of Destruction, was able to compel many bloodthirsty demons and monsters. Shaz was only at the peak of Pond-level. It did not dare to undergo the breakthrough, for fear that it would fall and become a bloodthirsty demon itself.
However, this Yellow Dog was able to break through this limit, and advance to Lake-level in the Land of Heritage. It was indeed extraordinary, and naturally became extremely sensational.
Many large and small demons very quickly looked from afar. The Eagles circles in the skies, the Lizards poked their heads out from the mountain rocks, the Monkeys climbed on top of the trees, as well as the Snakes.
However, they only dared to look from afar, and did not dare to approach.?No one knew if the Yellow Dog would become a bloodthirsty beast. Judging by its body and aura, even that formidable King Cobra might get killed with just one of its claws.
The Truth Department’s Elder Hai, Qiao Zishan, who was in isolated cultivation and was about to breakthrough to Pond-level, and Qiao Zijiang and the rest, who had already broken through to Basin-level, received the news and all hurriedly went closer.
They looked at the near 100 meter high Yellow Dog in confusion. They all felt shocked in their hearts, as if it was the?Tiangou?1?that descended.
After staring for a while, Qiao Zijiang touched her delicate chin, and put her detective face on, “From what I can gather, that should be the Yellow Dog…”
Qiao Zishan’s face became deadpan at her words, and he gave his little sister a look, “Zijiang, not everyone might be as smart as you, but they can all tell that it’s a yellow dog from its color. You don’t need to reason that out…”
Qiao Zijiang said angrily, “Older Brother, you must have become even dumber after entering isolated cultivation… can you at least listen to what I have to say first? I said, that should be the Yellow Dog Xue Ba, one of the Venerable One’s dogs.”
“What?” Everyone gaped in astonishment and looked at each other. Even a dog of Vigilante A’s was able to breakthrough to Lake-level?!
‘We can’t even compare to someone else’s dog?!’
However, Elder Hai’s face was dignified. He said to Qiao Zishan, “Call Xie Dong over to talk to it. The Venerable Dragon God suffered a huge injury to his soul, and is only a Pond-level. It would be hard for him to control this kind of big demon…”
As a high-ranking officer, he naturally was not stupid. The first thing he considered was for things to remain stable.
Looking at how it was overbearing and making a show out of its strength, as well as how pleased it was with itself, things might not be able to go smoothly!
After that Lake-level Celestial Insect, he already figured out the ins and outs, it was at most a peak Pond-level.
That time, it was only making an empty show of strength and did not actually have any real power, but it caused a bedlam at the Truth Department in their preparations to face a large enemy.
Thankfully, the Venerable Dragon God rose to the occasion and used the Bright Sword Spirit to subdue it. This allowed the Truth Department to be unafraid, start cracking jokes, and make unfair conditions. That was a disgraceful spectacle for a lifetime!
However, this Yellow Dog here clearly advanced to Lake-level!
It’s boldness, powerful presence, large body, and actions all manifested large amounts of destructive power.
Although these might be able to be forged, there were still some things that cannot be faked. Case in point was during the moment of its advancement, even the heavens and earth shook!
Elder Hai was a Pond-level Powerhouse who could connect Heaven and Earth, and feel the rules of the world.
He realized that this Land of Heritage just absorbed a new set of power rules. It seemed to be in the process of perfecting, and would undergo a promotion soon…
Presumably, in the future, local Lake-level large demons would also appear in this land.
There was not much time left for the Truth Department!
Xie Dong hurried over. His face immediately paled after he heard his task.
‘As expected, the Venerable Dragon God told me long ago that I was just Cutlery-level.
He was right. Before such a large Celestial Dog, if I say one word out of place, it would be able to kill me with just one look!’
The others all systematically cultivated their advancement, but his Natural Cultivation Trait was really unique. He was unable to find a suitable ability and had slow progress, resulting in him always maintaining Cutlery-level.
However, he belonged to the System. Even if he knew that the risks were extremely high, he still had to go. Deserters would be shot!
Xie Dong hardened his resolve and ran forward. He carefully avoided the Yellow Dog’s large paws and shouted upwards, “Mr. Celestial Dog, are you Xue Ba from the Venerable Dragon God’s house?”
The Yellow Dog only heard a mosquito buzzing around. It looked around in curiosity.
The Black Dog used the special eye-catching method of the Hound Clan. It ignored the several hundred meters large space barrier and let Yellow Boss know that there was someone on the surface calling it.
It laid its body down. Its entire body was nearly 100 meters high, but even just its head was more than 10 meters tall. It was even taller than a three-story building. Xie Dong’s heart trembled at the sight.
“Hm, you look a little familiar. Oh, I recognize your scent. You’re Xie Dong, right? In the three months since I’ve been here, I’ve seen you twice. Only two months have passed, but you seemed to have aged quite a lot…”
Xie Dong felt slightly relieved. Thankfully, it recognized him. It would probably not eat him whole. He hurriedly said, “I’m not as lucky as the Celestial Dog, we all have to toil. If I may ask, where are you planning to go from here?”
“To get some food from that local tribe, of course. I have arrived for so long, but I’ve never known the friendship of the local masters. They have never sent any offerings to me before. I’ve eaten so many fruits that I’m about to puke, how preposterous…” The Yellow Dog Xue Ba said belligerently. However, its nose suddenly tilted upwards and sniffed, and its large dog eyes shifted several turns.
Xie Dong watched in puzzlement as the Yellow Dog’s body suddenly shrank, until it reverted to the size of a normal dog.
It’s dog face laughed, “How can that be? I’m not the kind of dog that bites and threatens people on the strength of my master. I’m not like the Black Dog behind me, who only knows how to bully others. I’m going to give my greetings to all you fellow cultivators, and introduce to you the path of advancement.”
The image contrast was too large; a near 100-meter tall beast becoming a 70cm regular looking dog. The tone contrast was even larger, Xie Dong was unable to react for a few moments.
He could only tell that it was telling the truth in the beginning, but the latter half was utter bullsh*t. It was going to threaten people on the strength of its master… Only, why did it change so much?
Someone suddenly pointed towards the sky and cried out in surprise, “The Venerable Dragon God is coming here with his Sword Handling Technique!”
Before Elder Hai even looked back, he already saw Vigilante A sauntering over. That recently arrogant Yellow Dog Xue Ba, the Celestial Dog which even God could not afford to offend, immediately scuttled off to greet him…
Heavens, was this really that imposing Lake-level Powerhouse from before?
Everyone was left speechless in their hearts, and immediately felt like they could throw themselves at Vigilante A’s feet in admiration. His morality was indeed awe-inspiring.
Even the audacious dog Xue Ba that had gained power and advanced to Lake-level still maintained its obedience to its Master. It was clear to them how strictly Vigilante A trained it, home-style discipline is the way to go.
“Master, you’re here. I’ve been training diligently every day for these past three months. I never wasted a single second, and I never read a useless book. I’ve succeeded in breaking through to Lake-level, I can be of help to Master in the future.” The Yellow Dog shot up to him eagerly. It wagged its tail as it spoke to Vigilante A.
The Black Dog slowly ran over, not daring to steal the Yellow Boss’ chance to kiss ass.
It thought in its heart, ‘Yellow Boss has no principles, as always. It is already a Lake-level Powerhouse, but it’s not restrained at all. If this was the Upper Realm, it would at the very least be able to become the little master of an area.
The Yellow Dog Xue Ba glanced at them disdainfully. ‘A bunch of imbeciles, you lot don’t know, Master is probably a Dragon God from the Upper Realm. His spiritual cultivation is near the Heavenly Axiom, it is not easy to recover the cultivation.
‘Looks like Master is still at the peak of Pond-level. His soul suffered a huge injury, but I can faintly smell that there is a terrifying power hiding inside Master’s body. If I dare to run wild, he can crit me ten times no problem…’
Elder Hai felt relieved after looking at the scene. The Venerable Dragon God was still able to suppress this Yellow Dog. That was good, with the Venerable One’s behavior, he would definitely not let the dog run amok and bully others with its power…
‘Ah, that’s not right. That wasn’t a very polite thing to say.’
Fang Ning nodded. “Indeed, it’s been hard on you to diligently cultivate every day. I heard you shout something like ‘eat vegetarian food everyday’ earlier? I’ll let you eat a few times when we go back. How’s the Black Dog’s cultivation?”
The Yellow Dog broke down in cold sweat. Thankfully, its sense of smell was stronger, and it realized its Master approaching from far away.
It hurriedly changed the topic and took the chance to smear dirt on the Black Dog Brett, “The Black Dog was too lazy. After coming here, the only thing it thought about daily was finding a Spirit Fox girl. It strolled around the Eagles, Snakes, Monkeys, and Lizards, but did not find even a single Fox. Its cultivation level just reached Pond-level.”
The Black Dog was already black, but now it grew even blacker. It did not dare to refute, and only lowered its head silently.
However, Fang Ning was still relieved, “That’s not bad, since it’s not as smart as you. You should have completely recovered the power you had before you descended, right?”
The Yellow Dog said gleefully, “Naturally, I even broke through the bottleneck I encountered when I was cultivating in the Upper Realm, and advanced to Lake-level. I just have to slow down my cultivation in the future. The Black Dog is much worse than me, it probably needs another three to five years before it can accumulate enough and have the opportunity to breakthrough to Lake-level. Oh, right, Master, I even found a nice treasure here. There are too many people here, I’ll offer it to you when we go back.”
Fang Ning was very pleased, and nodded his head. It was really a loyal dog, to give its treasure to its Master after obtaining it. The pain he suffered for them was not in vain, to let them cultivate the ‘Atmospheric Morality Technique’.
The Black Dog could not help but activate its technique, and said in disdain, “Boss, you already finished using the lamp oil. You’re giving a treasure that can’t even grant a wish to Master…”
The Yellow Dog returned its glare. “If you dare to say what really happened, I’ll skin you and stew you in dog meat steamboat…”
The Black Dog’s body tensed, and it used its eyes to convey that it would definitely not dare to say anything. It said carefully, “I won’t say anything, but won’t the oil lamp say something?”
The Yellow Dog said haughtily, “You don’t have to worry about that. It’s even more cowardly than you.”
After chatting idly with Elder Hai and the others for some time, Fang Ning took the two dogs and left.
At this moment, Qiao Zishan suddenly said, “I felt like I just had some sort of realization. If I go into isolation, I’ll be able to immediately break through to Pond-level.”
Qiao Zijiang immediately said, “Listen to Uncle. Don’t break through here, let’s go back to the Outer Realm first.”
Qiao Zishan felt slightly puzzled, “That Yellow Dog just now broke through to Lake-level here, so I should be able to as well, right?”
Qiao Zijiang said helplessly, “How can Older Brother compare himself to a dog?”
Qiao Zishan was speechless, “…”
Qiao Zijiang hurriedly corrected herself, “Ah, I meant, Older Brother, you can’t be compared that dog…”
Qiao Zishan turned to leave.
Qiao Zijiang chased after him to explain, “No, that dog is a Celestial Dog from the Upper Realm. Who knows how long it has trained. It must have been stuck at the bottleneck for a long period of time, without any temperament problems. Older Brother, your circumstance is very different from it. You are the first of your generation that is about to breakthrough to Pond-level, so you must be cautious.”
Qiao Zishan’s face looked older than he really was. He said in a heavy tone, “You don’t have to comfort me. I understand. If I’m not Pond-level, then I can’t even compare to a dog. I haven’t been to the battlefield for so long, should I step up?”
