Foster Father!

Chat Group.

Ye Hei: "Group Owner, even a dog can become an Immortal King? Could you give me some good fortune too? I really don't want to work hard at all."

Through the livestream, Ye Fan and the group members could all see what was happening inside the Willow God Dojo.

The mere auras emitted by the No End Immortal King, Nine Leaf Grass, and Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King were enough to shock them and inspire heartfelt reverence.

Immortal King experts were no different from creators in their worlds—perhaps even more powerful than creators.

Ye Fan was somewhat envious. If one could ascend to the heavens in a single step, who would want to struggle and claw their way upward? Tushan Second Head: "Group Owner, you're too outrageous. Others cultivate for tens of thousands of years and still cannot become Immortal Kings, yet you can do it with a wave of your hand."

Bad Commander: "After all, he is the Group Owner of the Chat Group. His strength is naturally beyond our ability to fathom."

Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "That's right!"

Uchiha Madara: "!!"

Bi Cang Wang: "Terrifying indeed!"

Xu Yi: "Ye Fan, you should still work hard when it is time to work hard. It wasn't as though Black Dog made no effort. As the price for becoming an Immortal King, wasn't its body used by me to make hotpot?"

Ye Hei: "That's true. But speaking of which, why does this Black Dog give me such a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling? It feels like there is some fated bond between us in the dark. Is it destiny or a cursed connection?"

Xu Yi: "Your feeling is correct. In your timeline, isn't there a Black Dog? It is its reincarnation. And the No End Immortal King here is a similar flower to the No Beginning Great Emperor of later generations."

Ye Hei: "So that's how it is. No wonder. It was stewed well! I remember that in the World Script, this Black Dog was extremely shameless and utterly without integrity. It cheated and swindled people, and even wanted to drink my blood!"

Immortal Ancient Willow God: "So, Fellow Daoist Xu Yi. You helped Black Dog become an Immortal King merely so you could eat dog meat?"

Xu Yi: "Ahem, not entirely. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea."

Tushan Second Head: "Group Owner, can I have a bite of this immortal-grade dog meat?"

Ye Hei: "That's right, Group Owner. Enjoying it alone is not as good as enjoying it together."

Xu Yi: "This is, after all, a True Immortal-level dog. The energy in even a single hair would be enough to burst you all apart, let alone a piece of meat. The Great Emperors of your worlds would be slapped to death in droves by this Black Dog. You cannot handle the energy contained in its flesh and blood."

Bi Cang Wang: "It is that powerful?"

Ye Hei: "Group Owner, since you put it that way, there must be a solution, right?"

Xu Yi: "There is. I can grind away the True Immortal killing force within Black Dog's flesh and blood, turning it into the purest energy. But with Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, Nine Leaf Grass, and No End all here, this dog meat may not be enough."

Ye Hei: "A little soup would be fine too."

Xu Yi: "We'll see. If there is any left, I'll save some for you."

At the Dao Field, No End Immortal King took out his Immortal Artifact, a golden bell, to use as a cooking utensil for Black Dog.

This bell was called the No End Bell. It was a top-tier Immortal Artifact of the Immortal King Realm, peerless in defense and equally unmatched in attack.

No one knew how many Foreign Land creatures this bell had crushed to death, and it had already developed sentience.

The bell's surface was inscribed with the sun, moon, stars, all things between heaven and earth, the power of the five elements, divine beasts, and sacred beasts. Inside the bell was a stretch of chaos, thick with misty aura, as if it were nurturing a vast world.

Black Dog's body was already cooking within. Xu Yi summoned immortal flames to burn the bell, then used Willow God's Enlightenment Tea as broth for the stewed dog meat.

Before long, white immortal mist and brilliant rays of cloudlight overflowed from it. The fragrance was rich, awakening one's cravings at a whiff and making everyone stare with burning eyes.

"Fellow Daoist No End, Black Dog was your companion after all. It followed you for many years. You do not mind us stewing it now, do you?" Xu Yi asked casually.

"Hehe, mind? If he minded, he would not have taken out his own Immortal Artifact to cook it. Fellow Daoist Xu, you don't know this, but that Black Dog was terribly annoying. It looked fawning, but it was full of bad intentions," Nine Leaf Grass said.

No End turned his back to them again. He said nothing, maintaining his cool and aloof demeanor.

"Fellow Daoist Nine Leaf Grass, is there a story behind this?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

Nine Leaf Grass revealed a nostalgic expression and said, "You may not know this, Fellow Daoist. The bloodline of my Nine Leaf Sword Grass clan had dwindled. Only in my generation did it gradually rise again, cultivating to my current realm. I can be considered the final inheritance of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass clan.

"Compared to the competition among the geniuses of the myriad races in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, I did not enjoy fighting. I cultivated quietly all along and had little presence in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.

"Later, my ancestral star shattered, so I took root in a hidden forbidden zone in the outer regions of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths and continued cultivating.

"Until one day, No End Immortal King appeared and shattered my peace."

"That should have been tens of thousands of years ago, when I first met Nine Leaf Grass," No End Immortal King said.

"Yes, you could say we became acquainted through a fight. But that damned dog actually marked beside my true body while my Primordial Spirit was immersed in comprehension. It was truly hateful!" Nine Leaf Sword Grass said angrily.

"Brother Sword Grass, you are such an unparalleled figure. Little Black was only a dog, so why bother arguing with it? Besides, marking is a dog's instinct. It means it wants to make friends," No End Immortal King explained, though he did not believe that explanation himself.

"Hehe, if not for your sake, I would have slaughtered that damned dog long ago. So today, I must eat a few extra pieces of meat," Nine Leaf Grass said.

"Hahaha, I never knew you had such a past," Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King laughed.

Time passed, and the stewed dog meat reached its final stage. This pot of supreme nourishment truly made everyone feel a long-forgotten hunger, and they wanted nothing more than to feast to their hearts' content.

To make the immortal-grade dog meat hotpot even more exquisite, Nine Leaf Grass contributed a little leaf juice, while Willow God brought out Jade Nectar that she had treasured for many years.

Not only did the dog meat grow increasingly fragrant, but the No End Bell, this supreme Immortal Artifact, actually began evolving under the tempering of Xu Yi's flames. Strands of Emperor Light emerged from it, growing ever denser, while mysterious Great Dao patterns were inscribed within the Emperor Light.

"Could my bell be transforming into an Immortal Emperor weapon? What fortune!" No End Immortal King said excitedly.

"This works too?" Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King said in surprise, then immediately took out his own magical treasure, the Reincarnation Disk, and threw it into the flames beneath the bell.

Since the No End Bell could evolve into an Immortal Emperor weapon, there was no reason the Reincarnation Disk could not do the same.

"Seriously? Is this how competitive you are?" Nine Leaf Sword Grass grumbled.

Sure enough, under Xu Yi's flames, the Reincarnation Disk also began transforming. Emperor Light appeared around it, containing another kind of Great Dao pattern.

"Willow God, aren't you tempering a magical treasure?" Nine Leaf Sword Grass asked.

"I have no magical treasure. Aren't you tempering one, Fellow Daoist Sword Grass?" Willow God said.

Willow God's true body was the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit, a Willow Tree. Her branches were inscribed with Dao patterns and could transform into Order Chains. They were already the strongest offensive magical treasures, so naturally she had no need to forge another.

"My true body is Nine Leaf Sword Grass. Every leaf is the sharpest divine weapon in the world, so they can indeed be tempered.

"Alas, my true body cannot come here. It has taken root, and this is only a wisp of my Primordial Spirit manifested..." Nine Leaf Grass said.

"..." Willow God.

Xu Yi did not mind them using his flames to temper their magical treasures. Compared to magical treasures, dog meat was more important.

Still, he had not expected his flames to allow these Immortal Artifacts to advance into Immortal Emperor weapons.

More accurately, they should be Quasi-Immortal Emperor weapons.

For the final step of the cooking, Xu Yi sprinkled in seasonings and condiments, then shared the dog meat with everyone.

Willow God received a dog leg, Nine Leaf Grass received a piece of heart and liver, and Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King received the other dog leg.

No End Immortal King ate Black Dog's kidney with tears in his eyes!

Willow God had originally not wanted to eat it. After all, she had no need in that regard, and she was a plant, a vegetarian.

But she sensed that the meat was extraordinary, as though it also contained mysterious Great Dao laws, so she carefully tasted it.

"Fellow Daoist No End, at this moment, is there anything you wish to say?" Nine Leaf Sword Grass asked.

"Little Black will understand me," No End Immortal King said.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist No End, you are quite the character," Xu Yi laughed.

At this moment, Little Black slowly opened its eyes inside the Immortal Embryo. It had completely fused with it. Its Primordial Spirit had entered the Immortal King domain, and its body had also become an Immortal King body. It felt unprecedentedly powerful.

"An Immortal King! Since ancient times, what dog has ever achieved Immortal Kinghood with an ordinary bloodline and body?

"Only I, the Great Black Demon Emperor, have done so! Wahahaha! From this day onward, not only will this emperor trample Kings of Immortality beneath his feet, I will also ride that brat No End!" Black Dog fantasized about the future when a trace of fragrance suddenly drifted into its nose.

It saw brat No End, brat Six Paths, Sister Willow God, brat Sword Grass, and Foster Father Xu seemingly eating hotpot. It immediately hurried over. It smelled so good.

"Foster Father, what pure-blood immortal species is this meat from? It smells incredible. Can I eat some?" Black Dog asked fawningly, panting and wagging its tail nonstop.

"Foster Father?" Xu Yi asked in confusion.

No End's mouth twitched. This damned dog truly had no shame.

"The grace of rebirth is like that of parents. You are my Foster Father," Black Dog said with deep emotion.

"Forget the Foster Father business. If you want to eat, then eat. We are all fellow Daoists, it's no big deal," Xu Yi said with a smile.

"Alright!"

Black Dog hurriedly drew out a golden claw and bit down on it. It was tender and smooth upon entering its mouth, as though boneless.

But the instant it bit through it, a tear rolled from the corner of its eye, and it howled inwardly, My paw!
