Chapter 1816 - Past or Future

“Find a pot and just stew it up!” Even the roots of Cao Yusheng’s teeth were aching.

“Human pet, this king is talking, so you should just stay quietly to the side!” The puppy warned.

“Let it be, we can calmly talk about things.” Shi Hao said.

All of the hair on this palm-sized puppy’s body became a dark red, giving one a feeling of endless time passing, but also as if there was a wave of thriving life force that was spreading.

This was a bit contradictory, as if it was an old person, but also as if it had just been born.

Based on Shi Hao’s suspicions, this really still might be an old monster that lived from Immortal Ancient until now, just that because of unexpected events, it lost its cultivation. Its flesh was still powerful.

As for reincarnation or whatever, he didn’t believe it at all!

“You really believe this little dog’s words?!” Cao Yusheng was upset, really wanting to convince Shi Hao to capture it.

He really had enough, no way would he believe this dog. Even the long life medicine planted by his master had been eaten by it, yet it still had the nerve to call itself an immortal king.

“You really dug it out of the ground?” Shi Hao asked Cao Yusheng.

“Yeah, that grave has existed for an endless amount of time, but who would have thought that what was waiting in the very depths was a stupid dog!” Cao Yusheng was furious.

“I’m warning you, if you call me a stupid dog one more time, I’m going to directly eat you!” The puppy glared at him, its fangs flickering with radiance.

“Let’s have a sincere and fair discussion, there is no point in hiding anything.” Shi Hao looked at this puppy.

This puppy revealed a strange expression. “What can you tell me, what valuable information do you have?”

“I’ve previously seen a corner of the future. There was a big black dog that achieved immortality who was always chasing after a fat daoist priest, biting him.” Shi Hao said calmly.

Fatty Cao, even though he became extremely strong, became a true immortal, he was still constantly chased after by that dog, this was quite the sight to see in itself! However, this was the truth. In the Burial Land outside Desolate Border, Shi Hao had previously encountered this, previously seeing Cao Yusheng’s figure past countless ages.

“What, you… saw it?!”

The puppy’s expression changed, its dark red fur trembling, ears becoming straight. Its tail also stuck out straight, the expression in its eyes extremely unkind.

“

Yi, 

you seem to also know about it?” Shi Hao was stunned. Then, he revealed a surprised expression; he couldn’t help but start thinking to himself, staring at this puppy.

“You are Immortal Ancient’s dog king, or are you that big black dog from the future?” Shi Hao suddenly asked. He actually spoke these words, carrying this kind of doubt.

“What?” Cao Yusheng was stunned, feeling extremely shocked, a bit in disbelief. The stupid dog he dug up could come from the future?

“You are trying to create a diversion, right? Having us mistake you for someone from Immortal Ancient, burying yourself here.” Shi Hao stared at it.

“Youngster, it seems like your thoughts run quite deep. If you let yourself indulge in such wild fantasies, it will be easy for your mind to go crazy.” The dark red puppy spoke, its voice not too fast or too slow.

“Are you saying that I’m wrong?” Shi Hao stared at it intently.

“Tell me, who can live in the past, who can reverse time-space? It has never happened before. Even if one can temporarily return, they won’t be able to change anything. If I really came from all those years in the future, the karma that will be involved will be far too great, don’t even dare speak a word. If I even try to do something to anyone, it might very well overturn the endless ages.” The puppy said calmly.

“Then please tell us your true identity.” Shi Hao calmly said.

“My relationship with Without End Immortal King is extremely good. However, during Immortal Ancient, I was seriously injured, hacked by a hidden spear from the other side that pierced through my skull. Back then, my dying body was buried in the Land of Reincarnation, and now, my dao skills have weakened, but I can still be considered to be making a turn for the better.” The little puppy actually spoke these things.

Cao Yusheng opened his mouth. He had many questions he wanted to ask.

“Human pet, don’t annoy me. When this old one was secretly attacked by that spear, it pierced through my primordial spirit, which made me forget many things. When the primordial spirit shatters, the amount that can remain is extremely limited. Now that we are on the topic, I was buried all fine and dandy, sleeping peacefully, so why did you come and bother me, digging up the grave, interrupting my transformation process?” The puppy spoke forcefully, mocking Cao Yusheng, making him swallow back the words he was just about to utter.

“You are an ancient creature, but when you heard the corner of the future I spoke of, mentioning that big black dog, why did you suddenly lose your cool?” Shi Hao asked.

“It is because you aren’t the only one who could see a corner of the future. Back then, during Immortal Ancient Era, our powerful seniors had also made divinations, seeing this!” The puppy said.

It spoke candidly, that in Immortal Ancient times, its fur was black. Later, as its age increased, entered its older years, its fur became gray, carrying a dark red color.

“Fine, I followed Without End Immortal King. I was only a true immortal, not a king.” It further admitted. Back then, Without End Immortal King cultivated the laws of time, grasping its great laws, previously divining the future.

“We should discuss things thoroughly!” Shi Hao said, his eyes burning with desire.

“Regardless of if you are from the future or from Immortal Ancient, tell us everything you know, don’t hide anything!” Cao Yusheng was extremely moved.

“We can, however, I fear that you two will be disappointed. I really was ambushed by someone, my primordial spirit scattered, only a portion of my memories left.”

…

Shi Hao stayed here for two days, having a private discussion with this dog.

Cao Yusheng wanted to join in, but each time, he would be bullied badly by that dog, smacked to the side by a paw.

“Why did you become younger?” After discussing things with this dog, only then did Shi Hao ask Cao Yusheng this question.

“I accidentally ate a dragon meat bun, and then some medicinal herbs, and then I turned younger.” Cao Yusheng had a distressed look on his face.

The corners of Shi Hao’s lips twitched. This was definitely great natural luck! To return to his younger years, for cultivators, this really was a blessing that couldn’t be sought.

“Originally, I wanted to eat a long life medicine, but it disappeared!” Cao Yusheng was upset.

At this time, the puppy said candidly that it was indeed the one who ate the long life medicine, or else even if it was dug up, there weren't many chances of it surviving.

“Return my long life medicine to me!” Cao Yusheng was furious.

“What about my dragon meat bun? There are at least three missing!” The puppy bared its fangs.

…

Shi Hao decided to leave. Now that he met his old friend, he wanted to investigate the darkness creatures, to understand why this world was entering an age without cultivation.

“I’m going with you!” Cao Yusheng was decisive. Even if he was beaten to death, he couldn’t be buried here right now. Otherwise, staying with that puppy really would be too much to endure.

“

Bark! 

I am also going! Let’s see what the present world is like. What stupid darkness creature? I’ll make them all human servants!” The puppy barked.

They left, traveling through the three thousand provinces. They began to investigate carefully, learning about the situation.

Cultivationless Age, it was inevitable, irreversible. This was the result that they came to.

“The darkness matter has corroded the three thousand provinces, half of the territory has already entered the hands of the darkness creatures. 

Sigh, 

this is the case with the Nine Heavens as well, all of them losing half or a small half of their territory.” Cao Yusheng sighed.

The Nine Heavens Ten Earths, as a whole, now lost half of its territory to the creatures of darkness.

This was too terrifying!

Shi Hao and the others wandered about the three thousand provinces, moving along the edge of the darkness region. These places all had great formations established, armies stationed in some places to intimidate the darkness creatures.

“There are even forts, made into cities?”

Shi Hao was stunned. There were some regions that had forts built to stop the creatures of darkness’ advance. There were some experts in charge of defending them.

“Wang Family is in charge of this region!” Cao Yusheng said. He saw a large banner, on it a brilliant Wang character.

“Wang Family’s Nine Dragons?” Shi Hao’s eyes revealed chilly radiance. In the past, he was forced into extremely miserable states by those nine dragons, one of the nine dragons even personally sent troops to kill him.

“Wang Family is likely panicking as well. They previously sought out my master’s place of seclusion, wishing to have him make a divination. However, they were a bit late, my master was already no longer there.” Cao Yusheng said.

There were some people from Wang Family who really did some upsetting things, searching everywhere for Cao Yusheng’s whereabouts, more than once, wishing to forcefully bring him away, and then force his master to give in.

“It’s been a while. Then we will just take a look around this fort Wang Family’s people are in charge of.” Shi Hao said.

“The nine dragons might be here! In the past, even Immortal Wang had come here!” Cao Yusheng warned, but soon afterwards, he realized that Huang had already risen up, not fearing supreme beings, not scared of the nine dragons.

“I really do want to meet with these nine dragons again.” Shi Hao said.
