Chapter 445: Things Truly Worked In Mysterious Ways
“Shut up!”
Yang Jian growled at the walls. He gradually looked aggravated.
He noticed that Deified Dog was getting closer. Yang Jian clenched his jaw and tried his best to cast a spell. He scolded Deified Dog with a yell, “Deified Dog, are you crazy?!”
The walls laughed again. “Hehe, Yang Jian. Are you sure you want to waste your powers? Death is getting closer.”
Deified Dog was running on the mountain. He instantly jolted and stopped in his tracks when he heard his yells. He looked up and exclaimed, “Master, I came back to save you!”
“How can you save me? I sent you out to get help. Why did you come back alone?!”
Yang Jian said with a softer tone, “Don’t be silly. Hurry up and run back to the three realms. Find some powerful cultivators to help!”
Previously, he noticed that the seal was loose. He endured injuries and held the seal together with his powers. He sent Deified Dog out to get help. He did not expect that Deified Dog would come back alone.
‘It’s easy to come back, but it’s hard to leave!’
Deified Dog said, “Master, I’m not silly. You sacrificed your body to cast a seal. If I get help, the only possibility is that they’ll die with you. So, why should I get help?”
Yang Jian looked at Deified Dog with mixed emotions. He said, “My death is better than the death of the three realms.”
“I don’t care about the three realms. I’m going to save you. You’re my master. You’re more important to me than the lives of the three realms!”
Deified Dog continued to run on the mountain.
Yang Jian was silent for a moment. He suddenly said, “Deified Dog, you know you can’t help me even if you come in. Why would you come here to die?”
“I’ve already made up my mind. I’m going to save you, and if I can’t, I’ll die with you!”
Deified Dog looked determined. Then, it said, “Master, don’t worry. I ran into a huge opportunity out there. I’m sure that I can help you!”
“Huge opportunity? Help me?”
Yang Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head. “It’s no use…”
Laughter could be heard within the walls. “Naive little dog but loyal to his master. How brave.”
He paused. Then, he said, “Yang Jian, we’ve been trapped together for so many years. You’ve accompanied me and chatted with me. We don’t belong to the same world but we’re cultivators. I don’t mind sharing something with you.”
Yang Jian said, “Tell me.”
They had been sealed together for so many years. They probed and tested each other with questions. Yang Jian knew a lot about the cultivator. He wanted to know more about the other realm but the cultivator would not say a word. It was clear that the cultivator was cautious, too.
“Do you know why I’m here and your world didn’t kill me off? Because if they did, my world would sense it. However…your world’s flawed. Your world’s scared of our world.”
Yang Jian was silent.
He was not surprised because he kind of knew it in his mind.
His world was created by Pangu. Pangu succeeded in creating realms, yet he failed because he died in the middle of the process. Saints were born to fill up the gaps. The incomplete world was then rebuilt.
It was not odd that his world was flawed. The other world was most probably perfect.
“Your Heaven’s trying to avoid us.”
The voice in the walls sounded pleased. Then, the cultivator continued, “You have powerful flesh. You sacrificed your body to seal me in this mountain. We’re tied together. However… You’re at your wits’ end. You can’t do anything about it. If you want to kill me, there are only two choices. The first one is to kill yourself, then kill me. The other one is to hang in there until you die, then kill me. Haha, either way, you’ll die before me!
“You knew that you can’t last any longer. So, you used up your powers to tear an opening in the seal. You let that little dog out, expecting help to come so they can kill me right before I escape!”
The voice in the wall spoke slowly, “It’s a shame that the little dog loves its master. It’s not willing to accept your sacrifice. Haha, what a good dog.”
The cultivator was as powerful as Yang Jing. However, Yang Jing was worried that he would escape and cause havoc in the world. He turned himself into a huge seal to trap him. It was exhausting.
Yang Jing asked in a low voice, “Are there a lot of experts in your world? How many Saints?”
“Hehe, much more powerful than yours. When I go back, I’ll bring them all over to devour your world. It’s a shame you won’t be alive to witness it.”
Yang Jing did not get the answers to his questions. He knew that he would not receive any important information. He looked at the image in front of him again and saw that Deified Dog had arrived at the seal’s entrance.
He immediately yelled, “Deified Dog, stop! I order you to go back right now!”
“Master, I never disobeyed you. But this time, you must forgive me!” Deified Dog stopped at the entrance. It hesitated and then rushed in.
“I’m just a dog. I don’t understand the three realms and theirwingtip rights and wrongs. I only know that you’re my master and I can’t watch as you die. Even if…even if I die. Even if…there’s no chance, I’m still going to try!”
Then, Deified Dog entered the seal.
He looked at Yang Jing. Yang Jing looked back at him.
Deified Dog was expecting a scolding. However, Yang Jing just shook his head, troubled. He sighed and said, “What’s done is done. Whatever, it’s fine.”
Deified Dog walked over and bumped his head on Yang Jing. He said quietly, “Master, I’m back.”
The spell pattern on the ground shook. A thrilled voice could be heard. “Good that you’re back! Next up, you two shall stay here for eternity!”
He was worried when Deified Dog escaped through the seal’s opening. He was afraid that Deified Dog would return with a bunch of experts. In that case, he would probably be dead along with Yang Jing.
However… Deified Dog was back in the seal. Everything was fine.
Yang Jing clearly could not tear the seal for a second time. He would be free again with the passage of time!
The voice in the walls could be heard again. “Little Dog, let me tell you this since you’re so loyal to your master. Your master has less than ten years to live. So, appreciate your last moments with your master, haha—”
Deified Dog bared its teeth and growled.
Yang Jing was utterly calm. He asked, “I have another question. How did you get here?”
“Fine, I shall tell you.”
The voice in the wall cleared his throat and said, “Your world’s growing and expanding. It was originally just an insect, easily ignored by others. But then, it started to become powerful. The risk of exposure was greater, too. I took on a mission to search through the Chaos and coincidentally found your world.”
Yang Jing fell into deep thought. “Which is why our world went through the Absolute Era. It’s the quickest way to destroy our power and lessen the risk of being discovered.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s a shame that I still discovered it.”
Deified Dog said, “Master, ignore him. I ran into a huge opportunity, I can heal you back to your prime!”
“Heal me back to my prime?”
Yang Jing shook his head. “My body has been turned into a seal. My Primordial Spirit has been weakening over these countless years. My powers are weak. Even if I survive, I can only end up as an ordinary man. How could you heal me?”
He was a knowledgeable Immortal. He knew that his injuries were not healable unless he had help from a Saint. Plus, it would require a long time for him to heal.
It was impossible.
“Master, if you were back at your prime, can we escape?”
“Escape?”
Yang Jing looked at Deified Dog. He smiled seeing how excited he looked. “If I was back in my prime, this cultivator…would be dead!”
“We can do this!” Deified Dog was excited and anxious. He waved with his paw and out came a takeaway box. The box contained the Kunpeng soup.
There was a small Kunpeng wing tip inside, too. Deified Dog was able to snatch it because the Immortals respected Blackie.
Deified Dog placed the soup in front of Yang Jing. He said, “Master, drink this soup. You’ll be back at your prime again!”
Yang Jing was dumbfounded. The cultivator in the seal was also dumbfounded.
“Haha, haha!”
Then, he burst out in laughter. He laughed until the walls trembled.
“Yang Jing, your dog’s loyal to its master and intensely funny. So interesting!”
The cultivator in the seal was clearly entertained. He could not stop laughing.
He was nervous for a moment, thinking that Deified Dog got lucky and found some sort of legendary treasure. ‘Turns out, he brought back a bowl of soup. What a joke.’
Deified Dog ignored it. He rushed, “Master, quickly drink it.”
Yang Jing looked into its eyes. He smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll drink it.”
He sighed softly inside. His Deified Dog was delusional because of the pressure and the seal’s trauma.
‘We’re about to be dead anyway. I should just be nice to my dog.”
He picked up the takeaway box and looked at the soup inside. Yang Jing was filled with mixed emotions. Deified Dog was feeling sentimental, too.
At that moment, it was as if they were back to a moment from a long time ago.
A long time ago, Yang Jing was not a cultivator yet. He was just an ordinary man. He saw a puppy that almost froze to death. He took care of the puppy and gave it a bowl of hot soup. From that moment on, the dog had been with him. It accompanied him at the Immortal Realm, accompanying him as he cultivated. Deified Dog was his best friend and his best sidekick.
The moment recurred again. However, it was the dog’s turn to give him hot soup…
Things truly worked in mysterious ways.
