Chapter 318: Chapter 279 Exercise_1
Wu Dade stared at the Black Dog.
The Black Dog stared back at Wu Dade.
At that moment, a world of collapse was evident in the dog’s eyes.
“Woof!”
“Are you freaking human??”
The Black Dog felt so overwhelmed with grief and rage, it opened its mouth to bite!
Wu Dade instantly screamed, “Ah, help!”
This time, the Black Dog really bit down.
His butt now bore the terrifying mark of its teeth!
Meanwhile, Lu Rang, on impulse, looked back at the torrential river behind him. It had somehow blocked the path of those White Bone Creatures, and it seemed as if a mysterious rhythm was tumbling within it…
But, that aura!!
“Blegh!”
Lu Rang immediately threw up and bolted.
Ao Wushuang and Niu Dusheng, however, were looking at the river at that moment, with shock in their eyes.
“Such a rich aura of the Saint Path, and moreover, there seems to be something that surpasses the Saint Path itself. Heavens… what kind of great power crafted this!”
Ao Wushuang’s eyes were practically glowing red. This river could be called a supreme treasure. If brought out into the world, wouldn’t even a drop cause frenzied fighting amongst the great powers??
Having spaced out for a moment, Niu Dusheng then said:
“Let’s go, quickly follow that great being of the Mixed-Blood Heavenly Dog Clan. If we anger him, we’re as good as dead!”
Upon hearing this, Ao Wushuang also wore a face of regret, reluctantly leaving the river!
…
At that moment.
A mysterious place.
Inside the Celestial Tribe’s secret palace!
“Hmm? We’ve got a response!”
Suddenly, all those present were taken aback!
This was just the beginning of their deduction; how could there be a response already?
All of them had prepared to meditate in seclusion for a thousand years, for facing that eerie white fog, it might take a millennium to find even the slightest clue!
An elder became so excited that he stood up and said:
“I can feel it… such an intense Yang Energy! Only one of the seven ancestor emperors of the Human Race could possess such potent Yang Energy… We found it!”
“By my Holy Blood, behold the fleeting chance for a great opportunity!”
“My fellow beings, please remember this image!”
The elder stepped forward, ready to sacrifice himself by directly burning his Holy Blood!
By doing so, he could even become one with the dao, which is why he especially emphasized cherishing the image obtained at the cost of his life, as it might reveal the truth behind their chance!
This could crucially involve the entire rise and fall of their Celestial Tribe!
Right then, the Holy Blood was set ablaze!
The Seven Emperors Map seemed to sense it!
The blood of the Saint turned into flames.
Within the flames, for a moment, the many powerhouses of the Celestial Tribe saw an image:
A river flowing through the Great Wilderness!
Exuding… steamy heat!
“Yang Energy?! That river is brimming with Yang Energy??”
“Haha, the Ji Family, Ji Water!”
“It must be Emperor Xuanyuan’s burial ground!”
The many powerhouses were ecstatic at this moment!
“Excellent! We have pinpointed the coordinates… we can start preparing our tribe’s grand plan!”
The Saint Monarch at the head twinkled with insight, as if seeing through time and space, and said:
“Scouring the world for rare treasures, to forge the Ancestor Emperor’s Imperial Bone with his remnant spirit, gather Imperial Blood, condense Imperial Flesh, and, having witnessed this Ji Water recently, Emperor Xuanyuan’s Emperor’s Tomb, shall become the stepping stone for our ancestor… Our ancestor must obtain ‘Yang Energy,’ and become the Supreme Emperor Fruit!”
His words bore such gravity!
All the elders on the scene were boiling with enthusiasm!
“This era truly enjoys Heaven’s favor toward our tribe! After waiting for so many Eras of Sacred Dao, our tribe has always been one step short…”
“Haha, to have found a river full of Yang Energy, what great fortune!”
“We must keep this secret until the Ancestor Emperor’s body is fully rebuilt; only then, we shall go to that place and seize that innate Yang Energy!”
They excitedly discussed amongst themselves!
…
Meanwhile, Lu Rang and the others had finally made their distance from the Depths of the Great Wilderness.
Lu Rang kept muttering under his breath as he ran.
This Big Black Dog is too freaking sly.
Still fermenting, still going to show off the Great Divine Power that Pierces Heaven and Earth?
All he did was relieve himself right there!
Too damn despicable.
Before long, he finally made it out and saw the Big Black Dog and Wu Dade, both of whom had returned to peace. However, Wu Dade was spinning in circles on the spot.
Wu Dade wore a confused face, doubting his entire existence.
“What just happened?”
“You damn dog, what on earth did you do to me? Why can’t I remember a thing that just happened?”
“But my butt hurts so much!”
Wu Dade glared at the Black Dog, furious!
But the Black Dog just coldly watched him, his teeth bared, exuding peak aloofness!
Seeing this, Lu Rang felt a bit jittery!
Did Wu Dade just have his memories cut?!
Hiss…
This Black Dog is not to be trifled with!
At that moment, the Black Dog’s gaze turned to him!
Lu Rang’s heart tightened instantly!
“Erm, Black Dog, you’re indeed powerful, where on earth did you find such a massive river, and to effortlessly sever those White Bone Creatures’ route, truly… truly the Great Divine Power that Pierces Heaven and Earth!”
He kept a straight face, trying his best to show admiration as he gave the Black Dog a thumbs up!!
The Black Dog looked dubious, gave Lu Rang a glance, then suddenly focused on the pot of grass in his hands.
That pot of grass seemed to sense something and started nodding furiously as if saying: Lu Rang is right!
Seeing this, Wu Dade grew even more baffled.
What the hell?!
“You dead dog, what Heaven-Penetrating Earth-Piercing Great Divine Ability? Show it to me!”
He looked at the Black Dog with eager curiosity.
The Black Dog nearly lifted its paw to slap him but held back, proudly declaring:
“The divine techniques of this Emperor are beyond your station to question, human pet!”
Wu Dade doubtfully eyed the Black Dog, sensing something amiss, and scratched his head.
“Great powers, can we, can we leave now…”
At this time, Ao Wushuang and Niu Dusheng also came out, looking extremely uneasy.
Lu Rang and the others turned to them.
“You can go, but leave this bull behind.”
Wu Dade addressed Ao Wushuang.
Ao Wushuang got the shock of his life at those words!
I can live again?
Indeed, I’m a lucky person!
He was incredibly excited and said,
“Thank you, thank you!”
“Please rest assured, esteemed ones, I definitely won’t come here again in the future. I shall mend my ways, travel far away, and stay a great distance from you all!”
He never wanted to encounter such an incident again.
It was too freakish.
Every time he was the only one who left alone, feeling lonely and isolated!
Following that, Ao Wushuang turned and ran!
Niu Dusheng watched Ao Wushuang and was utterly speechless.
Shit, when he arrived, he still told me how bizarre the Northern Desolation was?
He then realized that the true freak was Ao Wushuang!
“Damn beast!”
He couldn’t help himself!
“Come back to the village with us,”
Lu Rang immediately spoke up.
They took Niu Dusheng to the entrance of the village.
Niu Dusheng looked at the mountain village and was shocked.
This village was extraordinary.
Why did it feel even more terrifying than the ancestral grounds of his own Demon Bull Tribe…
Could it be that this was the ancestral grounds of the Mixed-Blood Heavenly Dog Clan?
He trembled.
Lu Rang and the others took him a few more steps forward.
“No… Moo!”
Niu Dusheng struggled to speak as a tremendous pressure suddenly made him let out a cow’s moo, after which he transformed into a cow on the spot!
This cow was enormous, like a small elephant, but it happened to have grey scales growing on its body!
Those scales were incredibly hard, and the two cow horns shone with a silvery luster!
“Huh? What’s happening??”
Wu Dade was surprised.
Big Black Dog said coldly, “Aside from a few tribes, all members of the Ancient Clans are unable to maintain their human form here.”
Wu Dade suddenly realized!
At that moment,
at the village entrance, Elder Zhao was leisurely sipping tea when he heard a sudden cow’s moo outside. He immediately got up to take a look.
“Yo, Lu Rang, Da De, where did you get this cow from?”
Elder Zhao was surprised, stepped forward, examined it, and said,
“This is no ordinary cow, one with scales on its body… This is the first time I’ve seen such a thing; it’s not a monster, is it?”
And Niu Dusheng, now being inspected by Elder Zhao, trembled uncontrollably.
What sort of being was this, exuding such a terrible presence!
“Second Elder, this is a wild bull we found outside!”
Lu Rang spoke up and said,
“We’re going to report to our master; could you help us look after this bull for a while?”
Elder Zhao laughed and said, “No problem, no problem, off you go!”
“Thank you, Second Elder.”
Lu Rang then took his leave, and together with Da De and the dog, they headed into the village, straight to the small courtyard.
At the village entrance, Elder Zhao circled around the bull, occasionally patting it gently, seemingly very curious.
“Most likely this type of bull can’t be used for plowing… I wonder what the taste would be like if we slaughtered it for beef…”
Second Elder murmured.
Hearing this, Niu Dusheng immediately knelt down, frightened to the point of lying flat on the ground!
…
“Master, we’ve returned,”
Lu Rang knocked at the door from outside the small courtyard.
Inside the small courtyard, Li Fan was idle and studying gymnastics.
Although the system told him that no matter what, he could never break through to the Second Level of Qi Refinement Realm by practicing gymnastics every day, he still felt it made a slight difference.
The breath of energy in his Dantian was growing slightly stronger, albeit at an incredibly slow pace.
Seeing Lu Rang and the others return, Li Fan also smiled and asked,
“How did it go, is the beast tide dealt with?”
Lu Rang approached and reported, “Your disciple reports, Master, everything is taken care of, thanks, mostly to Big Black!”
His face revealed a complex expression!
By his side, Wu Dade was completely frozen.
The moment he entered the small courtyard, all his memories were restored!
He remembered that scene he witnessed deep in the mountains…
At this moment, he was shocked again, disbelievingly looking at the Big Black Dog!
Being stared at by him, Big Black Dog felt a chill crawling up its spine, hurriedly tucking its tail in!
Li Fan, upon hearing this, nodded, thinking that sending them off with the dog was the right call after all! After all, a dog’s survival skills in the wild are much stronger than a human’s.
“What’s wrong, Da De, you look a bit off,”
Li Fan inquired.
Da De had a complex look on his face, bit his teeth, but didn’t snitch, saying,
“No, it’s nothing…”
“Right, Master, we’ve got some cat food for Xiao Bai!”
He took out some dried meat from his bosom!
In Li Fan’s arms, Bai Xiaoqing saw this, and her feline eyes immediately lit up, mewing? Are there snacks to eat now??
Wu Dade passed them over.
Li Fan also smiled and said,
“Eat it if you like.”
Bai Xiaoqing, hearing this, immediately grabbed the dried meat with her little paws and indulged herself!
Seeing this, Big Black Dog eagerly came forward, wagging its tail as if to claim credit!
Xiao Bai ate joyfully and casually patted Black Dog’s head with her paw.
Black Dog instantly felt overjoyed, as if basking in chicken blood—great, Sister Cat was very happy!
It felt instantly that it was all worth it!
“Master, we… might have found a rare animal!”
Lu Rang continued to speak at this point!
Li Fan, hearing this, also perked up, saying,
“Oh? What kind of rare animal?”
Lu Rang responded,
“A type of cow!”
A type of cow?

The author is part-time, and writing three chapters a day is already super exhausting. I really can only give my best effort regarding extra updates.
