On Xuanji Mountain, there are many captive spirit pigs. They roam in groups of three or five in the vast forest, leisurely foraging for food. Each one is plump and strong, with juicy meat.
Zhou Jin, with his sleeves tucked in, strolled over leisurely.
He crossed his right arm over his side, rested his left hand on his chin, rubbed his chin, and his golden eyes scanned the pigs.
It's as if I can see plates of food.
Cold pig ear salad, braised pig tail, stewed pork ribs, braised pork knuckle, soy-braised pork knuckle, stir-fried pork kidney, braised pig tongue...
How can pigs exist in this world?
It's simply a natural food!
Look at their round backs and taut thighs; they'd be incredibly tender, especially when made into braised pork hock.
He stared at the elbow that was moving.
Which end should we eat first?
Zhou Jin swallowed hard, trying to swallow the saliva that welled up inside him.
The spirit pigs shivered as they sensed Zhou Jin's gaze.
The pork knuckle killer is here!
They were originally living peacefully on Xuanji Mountain. Although they were occasionally captured by a certain boy in blue and roasted on Pill Furnace, that was only once in a while!
Until a year ago, this guy in black came!
A die-hard pork knuckle enthusiast!
It's just a dog!
He practically devoured all the spirit pigs in the entire back mountain, and even went so far as to raise them in captivity.
Eat it every day, every single day, at every meal!
The pigs were so terrified of him that they went crazy whenever they saw him.
Commonly known as: Pig-induced madness.
"When making braised pork knuckle, the choice of pork knuckle is also important."
"These pigs only know how to eat and sleep, they are incredibly lazy, their hind legs only serve a supporting function, and they usually use their front legs to forage for food."
"The forelegs are well-developed, resulting in thick, meaty flesh with a rich, oily sheen, making them fatty yet not greasy—the best choice for pork knuckle."
Zhou Jin's gaze swept over the pigs, a happy smile appearing on his face.
After listening to his words...
brush!
The swine quickly retracted its right foreleg.
Their skill was so adept it was heartbreaking.
They stared at Zhou Jin with their small eyes wide open, filled with terror.
You're a dog!
You dog, you eat pork?
Are you trying to bully us because we haven't evolved yet?!
Why would a dog eat a pig? We're both beasts, why such infighting?
The spirit boar tried to escape, but Zhou Jin waved his sleeve, freezing the space!
He is at the Immortal Ascension Realm Fifth Stage!
The true pinnacle of Martial Dao in the Three Thousand Worlds!
These spirit pigs were truly terrified; tears welled up in their round pig eyes.
Did this guy get insulted by a pig in his past life or something?
Why eat pork, of all things?
Dogs shouldn't eat...
eat...
Want to eat that?...
"Okay, you're the one."
Zhou Jin selected the plumpest one and decided to make lunch.
Clang!
The pig was so frightened it fainted.
At this moment...
Golden light enveloped the heavens and earth, Heavenly Ranking stretched across the sky, with figures from all walks of life continuously appearing on the list.
As the rewards were distributed, a beam of white light descended upon Xuanji Mountain and hovered in front of Zhou Jin!
Just like the previous rankings, the rewards are concealed by the secrets of the Dao Heaven and cannot be found.
The reward is...
The Great Dao is being infused! Two portions!
Zhou Jin was slightly taken aback. Was his name on the list?
He looked up at the Heavenly Ranking, his dark brows furrowed slightly. At this moment, Sushang and Mo Lin also arrived at the back mountain. The two of them had just seen the ranking on the Heavenly Ranking and were surprised, so they came to verify it!
Zhou Jin's true form is a dog!
The sixth- Heavenly Ranking King Kan is from the Heavenly Dog Clan!
The reward has fallen on Xuanji Mountain again!
The answer is obvious: Zhou Jin, who loves braised pork knuckle in the Xuanji Sect, is none other than the once all-powerful King Kan!
After all, not everyone can possess the strength of the Immortal Ascension Realm Fifth Stage.
"I am the King Kan of Yingzhou, of Yingzhou?"
Zhou Jin stared at the Heavenly Ranking, his starry eyes filled with confusion. He pressed his fingers slightly against his head, his brows furrowed.
A flash of inspiration emanated from the reward orb, and a flood of memories suddenly surged into Zhou Jin's mind.
Those were memories he lost a year ago!
He suddenly remembered a lot!
Unparalleled genius
A peerless War God who dominated the world...
A treacherous power struggle within the imperial court...
The bloody mess of the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation...
After his spiritual energy was completely depleted, he lost all consciousness...
Xuanji Mountain, Xuanji Sect, Sushang, Anping, Mo Lin...
In that instant.
He remembered; he remembered everything.
Ding...
Zhou Jin took a step back, his face pale.
He is King Kan!
In his own elder brother's words, he was a traitor who failed in his power grab!
Ha ha...
Zhou Jin squinted and gave a hoarse laugh.
Desolate, ironic.
He lowered his head, turned and walked away, his back looking like a dog, a dejected dog.
As for braised pork knuckle...
Suddenly, I lost my appetite.
After he left, the unconscious spirit boar instantly opened its eyes, took off running, and desperately headed into the forest.
Many thanks to the Heavenly Ranking for saving my life, Old Pig!
Sushang and Mo Lin watched him leave, both feeling heavy-hearted and unsure of what to say.
Maybe...
The best comfort is no comfort at all.
Sushang blinked her almond-shaped eyes. Since the release of the fourth round of the Heavenly Ranking, the little girl had been greatly shocked by the inclusion of Mo Lin and Zhou Jin on the list.
The young man who wanted to become an apprentice turned out to be the crown prince of the Jiao Clan...
The amnesiac elbow killer is actually the Heavenly Dog War God...
She suddenly thought of Xie Feng again...
The master, unusually, abandoned her and took only Anping down the mountain, acting mysteriously, and no one knew where they went.
Could it be...?
Sushang's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had realized something!
Crimson Wildfire Iron...
Azure Dragon Clan...
The master must have gone to the Azure Dragon Clan to find the truth of what happened back then!
The little girl belatedly realized what was happening; her heart clenched, fearing that her master might be in danger.
But then I thought about how, after he came out of seclusion, the overwhelming pressure of his master's realm was even more terrifying than before.
It seems that even annihilating an ancient race is as easy as laughing it off!
Moreover, the fact that her master didn't tell her meant that he was completely confident that if she rashly went to the Azure Dragon Clan, something unexpected might happen.
For her sake, the master killed Qu Jiangxuan...
Now they've gone to the Azure Dragon Clan to fight against an ancient and terrifying force...
A pool of clear tears welled up in Sushang's eyes.
That feeling was like being suddenly embraced by a strong arm when you were all alone—so warm!
I feel incredibly safe!
Stinky owner...
You're so good to them...
Sushang stamped her foot, feeling a pang of jealousy in her heart. She sniffed softly, trying to lift her head to keep her tears from falling.
She remembered her owner saying, "Brave girl, wipe away your tears and set off again." She said she wouldn't cry, and a good child should keep her word.
Xiao Shang will definitely work hard to cultivate. If one day in the future anyone bullies you, Master, Xiao Shang will absolutely fight that person to the death! Absolutely!
Sushang's face was full of determination.
but...
With such a powerful master, who in the world would dare to bully him?
call...
She lowered her head, let out a sigh, and was as docile as a kitten.
Why are you so down?
Mo Lin, who was watching the Heavenly Ranking from the side, turned his head and asked with concern.
Then...
She reached out her eager little hand and tugged at Sushang's fluffy tiger ears.
It's so soft!
So cute~
He revealed a smug expression.
Her pink earlobes twitched, and Sushang raised her bright eyes, glaring at him with a cute but fierce look.
For those who are obsessed with dead hair or something...
Ugh!
High in the sky, the Heavenly Ranking continue to release new rankings.
