Dog Immortal King

Willow God introduced Xu Yi to No End Immortal King, Nine Leaf Grass, and Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King.

The three Immortal Kings all looked toward Xu Yi. They knew Willow God had only a few friends.

Moreover, anyone capable of discussing the Dao with an Immortal King had to at least be an Immortal King-level existence.

Yet they had never seen Xu Yi before, nor could they sense his aura. Like Willow God, all they could perceive was boundless depth and unfathomable mystery.

Although No End Immortal King still had his back to them, he cast a fleeting glance over his shoulder.

Xu Yi took note of it. He was quite a handsome young man, looking no more than eighteen or nineteen.

In truth, once one reached No End's realm, outward appearance could be changed at will.

No End Immortal King was also the No Beginning Great Emperor of later generations, one of the three giants on the timeline of Shrouding the Heavens, a Red Dust Immortal.

It was only that he had fallen during the Immortal Ancient Era, reincarnated and cultivated anew, and had never recovered his peak strength.

Besides, the strong did not believe in reincarnation.

Perhaps No End was No End, and No Beginning was No Beginning.

This black dog, however, had not changed one bit from ancient times to the present.

It had followed several Heavenly Emperors. Its backing was formidable.

"May I ask which Dao Field Fellow Daoist Xu cultivates in? Why have we never heard of you in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths before? Could you be from the Immortal Realm?" Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King asked.

"No. I come from a world beyond the heavens," Xu Yi said.

"A world beyond the heavens."

Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, Nine Leaf Grass, and No End Immortal King all glanced sideways.

Beyond the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, this world still contained vast expanses of heaven and earth.

It would not be strange for a wild Immortal King to suddenly appear at any time.

Just like Nine Leaf Grass, who had also appeared out of nowhere.

Yet Black Dog was still dwelling on Xu Yi. After all, that "tsk tsk tsk" just now had wounded a dog's pride.

It was a True Immortal, not a dog.

Still, considering Xu Yi might be an Immortal King, it did not dare cause trouble.

The group joined together and discussed the Dao.

A wisp of Dao Rhyme that Willow God suddenly released shocked the three Immortal Kings, even making them tremble with fear.

That was not the aura of an Immortal King, but something that could only exist beyond the Dao of an Immortal King.

"Willow God, your cultivation?" Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King asked in confusion.

"By chance, I broke through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm," Willow God said calmly.

"Hiss!"

Six Paths, Nine Leaf Grass, No End, and even Black Dog all drew in a cold breath.

She had broken through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor by chance! Those few words alone were enough to set the entire Nine Heavens Ten Earths ablaze.

Their levels were not far apart, so why could they not get lucky too? If they all broke through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, what would the Foreign Land amount to? Nothing but chickens and dogs.

"Willow God, what opportunity did you obtain?" Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King immediately asked.

Willow God could not help looking toward Xu Yi. Xu Yi nodded faintly. Seeing this, Willow God set her mind at ease and said, "It was all thanks to Fellow Daoist Xu Yi's guidance. Otherwise, I could not have entered this realm so quickly."

"What!" Black Dog's eyes widened.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Yi, what realm are you in?!" Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King asked.

At that moment, No End Immortal King truly wanted to turn around. The allure of becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was too great.

"I have no realm. It is also due to Willow God's extraordinary talent and her accumulation over countless years," Xu Yi said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, I too have accumulated cultivation over countless years," Nine Leaf Grass said gloomily.

"So have I," Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King echoed.

"So have I." No End finally turned around, his face utterly sincere.

"I know what you are thinking, but every person's Dao is different. In truth, all of you possess the qualifications to become Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors. You do not necessarily need my guidance," Xu Yi said.

He was not lying. Whether it was No End, Nine Leaf Grass, or Six Paths, as giants among Immortal Kings, they all had hope of advancing to Quasi-Immortal Emperor. It was simply very difficult. If they fell just short, they might be left with lifelong regret.

"Now the Foreign Land is watching us like a tiger watches its prey. The gap in strength between our sides is too great. If a Quasi-Immortal Emperor emerged, the battle situation could immediately be reversed," Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King said.

"I have already become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Once I stabilize my realm, I can share with you the wondrous methods and insights of this realm," Willow God said.

Hearing this, the three Immortal Kings finally calmed down and settled their excited emotions.

"My lord, I do not want to become some Immortal Emperor. Could you see whether I can become an Immortal King?" Black Dog asked fawningly.

"This big black dog has the potential to become an Immortal King!" Xu Yi said with a gentle smile.

Upon hearing that, Black Dog's eyes went blank, blazing with fervent light.

"Fellow Daoist, can Little Black truly become an Immortal King?" No End asked, unable to contain himself.

Black Dog did not possess any Demon God Bloodline. It was merely an ordinary dog with a common bloodline.

It had accompanied him ever since he rose from humble beginnings. He had constantly fed Black Dog spiritual pills and wondrous medicines; when it ascended to immortality, it had consumed immortal medicines and substances of longevity.

It could be said that even a true immortal had not eaten as many good things as a dog.

But Black Dog's bloodline was ordinary after all, and its potential was limited. Reaching True Immortal through piled-up resources was already its limit.

Black Dog had done well enough. After eating so many treasures, it had finally become immortal. The resources used on it could have created several True Immortals of the same level.

No End Immortal King had no way to help it advance further.

Although bloodlines mattered little in the later stages of cultivation, and one could even sever things like the Supreme Bone or Chaos Body bloodline, return all methods to one, become an ordinary body, and attain greater achievements—

Those who walked that path were all people of immense perseverance, following an invincible, unique road.

How could Black Dog possess such perseverance? It was just a dog.

"It can," Xu Yi said.

"My lord, please guide me," Black Dog said excitedly.

"Little Black, your physical body can be considered a treasure body. It is clear that your master has treated you very well. By all reason, with your talent, your chances of advancing to Immortal King are minuscule. But since you met me, your fortune has arrived," Xu Yi said.

"This physical body of yours is ultimately a shackle, leaving you no room to grow. You might as well abandon it," Xu Yi said.

"Abandon my physical body?" Black Dog did not understand.

Even the Immortal Kings were the same. The further cultivation progressed, the more important the physical body became. It could resist damage and also bear the imprints of the laws of heaven and earth.

Xu Yi raised his hand and circulated his technique. Before their eyes, the Origin of his Magical Power transformed, revealing rays of profound mystery.

In the span of a breath, a dog-shaped Immortal Embryo filled with immortal light condensed into form.

The Immortal Embryo's immortal light was dense, containing the light of the Great Dao. The stars of the heavens revolved around it, while opportunities of the myriad Daos lay hidden within.

Merely looking at it gave No End Immortal King, Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, and Nine Leaf Grass insight. They had never heard of or seen such a method.

When Black Dog saw it, its eyes gleamed. Drool even flowed from its mouth. It truly was a peerless treasure body.

Its aura alone was countless times more powerful than that of a True Immortal.

"Merge your Primordial Spirit into it, and you will step into the Immortal King realm in an instant. Moreover, you will have greater room to grow. In the future, you may not be unable to become an Immortal Emperor," Xu Yi said.

"Little Black, what are you waiting for? Hurry and merge with it!" No End said excitedly.

"What a tremendous opportunity," Nine Leaf Grass sighed.

Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, meanwhile, was astonished by Xu Yi's methods. Was this not equivalent to creating an Immortal King with his bare hands—and a dog at that?

Though Black Dog was excited, it felt something was off.

This seemed too smooth. This great expert was so easygoing, yet he did not mention any conditions.

It even felt a little embarrassed.

Thus, Black Dog's Primordial Spirit left its body and merged into the Immortal Embryo. At the same time, a great fortune descended. Supreme profundity catalyzed and transformed its True Immortal Primordial Spirit, driving it toward the realm of Immortal King.

Sensing the Immortal King aura within the Immortal Embryo, No End Immortal King's eyes were filled with gratification. He felt like an old father watching his wayward son finally make something of himself.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for this great fortune. I am deeply grateful," No End Immortal King said with a cupped-fist salute.

"You are welcome. Willow God's friends are also my friends."

"By the way, may I presumptuously ask whether any of you have a cauldron or some similar vessel?" Xu Yi said.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you intend to do?" No End Immortal King asked curiously.

"Black Dog now has a new body. Would it not be a pity to throw away the old one? We might as well make full use of it. I shall treat everyone to some Immortal Dog Meat Hotpot," Xu Yi said.

"Excellent." Nine Leaf Grass's face lit up with wild delight.

"Uh..."

No End Immortal King's mind went blank for a moment, then he said, "I do not have a cauldron. Will a bell do?"

"Of course," Xu Yi said with a smile.
