"Come on~~ have fun~~ there's plenty of time anyway..."
A black earth dog rolled happily on a patch of grass, humming tunes it had learned from somewhere.
This black dog had bad luck. It had randomly chosen one of over a dozen world coordinates provided by its owner, but accidentally landed in a world that filled it with extreme fear.
In this world, a Human King had once sealed everything, preventing any animals or plants from becoming spirits.
After being born into that world, it, a dignified Earth Immortal expert, was also sealed, losing all its immortal power. It spent over ten years guarding a household for nothing.
Every day it was called "Xiao Hei," "Xiao Hei," and ignorant young children even rode it like a horse, stripping it of all dignity.
What it found most unbearable was that the people in that world even made it eat feces.
Although it was warm and smelled fragrant, how could it, a dignified Earth Immortal, eat such a thing?
A few days ago, it finally found an opportunity and ran away from home.
At this moment, it was in a great mood. After getting tired of rolling in the grass, it lay on its back, exposing its belly to the sun, contemplating its future dog life.
Although it still felt some attachment and reluctance towards the warm, rustic farmhouse, it had never forgotten its identity and mission.
It was a dog with ideals and ambitions, with a bright future. How could it spend its days with a bunch of stupid village dogs, fighting for bones?
However, it still underestimated the brutality of this world.
A teenager with a rooster-like hairstyle approached it with a kind expression, holding a meat bone in one hand.
In the hand hidden behind his back, he held a wire snare.
Just as Xiao Hei was attracted by the meat bone, a wire loop was placed around its neck and tightened.
Xiao Hei struggled and was dragged into a small van, where over a dozen dead dog corpses lay.
Among them were several dog friends it recognized: Xiao Hua from the next village, Da Huang, Si Yan from its own village, Lao Bai...
All of them were dead now, their bodies piled up like cargo.
Anger surged in Xiao Hei's heart, its blood churning, and a power hidden deep within its body began to stir restlessly.
At that moment, the rooster-haired youth, holding a sharp knife, menacingly lunged towards its neck.
"Woof woof woof... Roar roar roar..."
The moment its life was threatened, Xiao Hei finally broke free of a trace of the seal within its body, and a world-destroying power leaked out.
Instantly, the sharp knife in the youth's hand shattered into pieces. Then, the youth's body, and the moving van, all disintegrated, turning into flying ash.
The moment Xiao Hei broke free of the seal, a white light enveloped it.
When the light dissipated, the spot was empty. There was no car, no person, and no dog.
It was as if everything that had happened there had never occurred.
Xiao Hei felt a wave of dizziness. When it opened its eyes again, it found itself lying on broken rocks, its body covered in wounds, with blood seeping out.
"Hehehehe..."
A strange-looking old beggar with a single horn on its head and blood-red eyes, carrying a dog-beating stick, walked towards it with a sinister grin.
...
Xiao Fei did not know that there was once a dog that, in its search for him, had painstakingly found his true home, only to unfortunately fall into the hands of a dog thief.
He planted spirit-transforming grass in all the places contaminated by demonic energy on the East Continent.
In the future, this demonic energy that had leaked from the demon realm would be converted into spiritual energy, continuously replenishing the East Continent.
As for the demonic realm passages, he had thrown all his stored poisons into them.
He did not yet know how effective they would be, but it was certain that throwing more in would not be wrong.
He also planned to throw the toxins produced by the sixth and seventh rounds of "Crimson Face White Bone" into them in the future.
After completing the poisoning work, Xiao Fei went to the valley to meet the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade.
They had a friendly conversation, exchanged opinions, and then Xiao Fei left the East Continent with his companions.
This time, those who left with him included Huangfu Xuan and Fei Xin.
He had also asked Fei Xin to inquire about and search for the green-eyed person who had helped him greatly in the past.
Unfortunately, this person had gone into hiding somewhere during the great war between humans and demons many years ago and had not reappeared since. It was unknown if they had perished.
Before leaving, Huangfu Xuan had selected reliable individuals from the Nascent Soul cultivators and trained two new Soul Transformation cultivators to take their places.
Upon returning to the Heavenly Origin Realm, Xiao Fei arranged for Huangfu Xuan and Fei Xin to help in his shop, handling reception and other miscellaneous tasks.
The Heavenly Origin Realm was still peaceful and suitable for quiet cultivation.
Thus, several hundred more years passed in a hurry.
During these hundreds of years, with the 80-fold time acceleration in his spatial dimension, tens of thousands of years had passed.
The changes within the dimension were earth-shattering.
The greatest beneficiary was undoubtedly Fei Yu, who had been cultivating in the dimension all along.
This fellow ate and slept every day, and grew as he slept. His current true form was no less imposing than that of the Giants.
Fei Yu's cultivation had also successfully broken through to the late stage of Void Refinement a while ago. With a little more opportunity, he should be able to break through to the Integration stage.
The lifespan of their demon race was long, but their advancement speed was not particularly fast.
However, Xiao Fei could not withstand such a long period of time.
His physical body consumed lifespan in the dimension, and his current cultivation did not have tens of thousands of years of lifespan to spare.
When he cultivated to the late stage of Void Refinement within the dimension, he exited the dimension, not daring to waste any more of his life there.
Even the bodies he had cultivated within the dimension were completely sealed by formations, to be re-activated when needed.
Taking advantage of the current time and resources, he had cultivated over a dozen spare bodies.
If he were to be accidentally struck by lightning while walking outside and die, he could immediately return to the dimension, switch to another body, and start anew.
As for his true soul and main consciousness, they had long since merged with the Jade Tablet. Unless the Jade Tablet was completely shattered, he could not be annihilated.
In these past few hundred years, the 360,000 mu of dimension had produced a large number of ten-thousand-year spiritual herbs. Looking around, thousand-year and ten-thousand-year spiritual herbs were everywhere.
During this period, his Wood Spirit Fruit, Fire Spirit Fruit, and Earth Spirit Fruit had yielded two more rounds of fruits.
He could not use so many now. In his current situation, if his aptitude were to increase any further, he might uncontrollably break through to the Integration stage.
He did not know how many spirit stones this breakthrough would consume. His current spirit stone reserves were not abundant, and he dared not try it lightly.
In the center of the dimension, the Jianmu sapling had finally grown to a foot tall. Its trunk was straight and unbranched, with over ten leaves.
On the vine, the small gourd had finally grown to the size of a pigeon's egg. It looked verdant and tender.
In fact, Xiao Fei had once tried to pinch it with his fingernail, but his nail could not penetrate it at all.
