The Celestial Court loomed in the clouds. Above the Nine Heavens, the clouds were colorful, exuding a divine aura as well as blooming with a mysterious light.
The gates of the Celestial Court towered so high into the clouds that no one could see the top. Though it looked as if they would arrive soon, with the slow speed of the crane, it still took them a long time to reach the gates.
Even as they approached, a figure flew toward them from afar. Before he arrived, a dog’s bark rang out, and then a black dog pounced on the crane, scaring it so much that it trembled and nearly fell back to the ground.
“Howling Celestial Dog?!” Ju Mang exclaimed.
The black dog came up to them at great speed and leaped up. Its mouth was open with its tongue sticking out, and its eyes were full of excitement.
Howling Celestial Dog was the spirit beast of True Lord Erlang, the Little Saint of the Celestial Court. It was said that upon his return from a trip to the Ancestral Planet, he comprehended the Great Path, and he had made a breakthrough and became a Saint of the Great Path just a few days ago. Ju Mang was also a Saint of the Great Path, but their fighting power was not at the same level at all.
Because of his breakthrough, the cultivation base of Howling Celestial Dog had also skyrocketed, allowing it to step into the realm of Saints of the Great Path as well. This made many people in the Primitive Universe very envious, and the Ancestral Planet had attracted their attention.
Many people wanted to make a trip to the Ancestral Planet, but they were stopped by an almighty expert who had just awakened. Since then, very few people could set foot on the Ancestral Planet.
As the Celestial Hound rushed toward them, its tongue kept flicking and its saliva dripped everywhere. Suddenly, a hand thrust out and grabbed the back of its neck. It instantly froze in midair with its head cocked, its eyes wide and unmoving. Its paws were slightly bent as its tails wagged from side to side.
“Woof!”
The black dog barked, and its voice made the crane shudder. Bu Fang, holding the Celestial Hound by the neck, gave it an indifferent look.
“Wuuu…”
Howling shrank at once. The look in Bu Fang’s eyes made it feel like it was going to turn into a pot of dog meat in the next moment. Just then, Foxy jumped out from behind Bu Fang and squinted at it. This made the black dog excited again, and it wagged its tail vigorously. However, the little fox only snorted disdainfully, flicked her tails, and then released her Heavengod Destruction aura.
The Celestial Dog shrank again. The next moment, Whitey also turned to the black dog. Its sharp purple gaze made the dog bury its head in Bu Fang’s arms and curl itself into a ball.
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth lifted slightly. He had met Howling Celestial Dog on Earth, but he had not thought he would see it again. And since this dog was here, then…
A cloud came flying from afar, on which stood a strapping figure. “Who are you?! How dare you trespass on the Celestial Court!” With an aggressive shout, Yang Jian approached quickly, holding his three-pronged halberd.
Just now, Howling Celestial Dog’s silence gave him a shock, but when he got close enough and saw Bu Fang, he heaved a sigh of relief. The awesome little chef had left a deep impression on him.
Bu Fang let go of his hand, and the Celestial Hound quickly ran back to Yang Jian and lay by his feet in a good manner. It was better for it to behave in order not to become a dog stew pot.
“Greetings, True Lord Erlang!” As soon as he saw Yang Jian, Ju Mang hurriedly cupped his fist and greeted him.
After returning the greeting, Yang Jian asked suspiciously, “What is the reason for you to come to the Celestial Court? Shouldn’t you be guarding the Primitive Sphere in these troubled times?”
After Ju Mang told him what had happened, Yang Jian’s eyes lit up.
“Owner Bu, I haven’t seen you for a long time! It seems that your cultivation base has increased greatly!” Yang Jian said to Bu Fang with a smile.
Bu Fang nodded, then glanced at Howling Celestial Dog again. The lofty, cold look in his eyes made the black dog tuck its tail between its legs in fear. “Yes, it’s been a long time since we met. Your dog… has put on weight again.”
The Celestial Hound’s hair bristled when it heard that.
Yang Jian laughed dryly. Ever since they returned from Earth, the dog had become a glutton. Even the Celestial Court’s kitchen was turned over several times by it. But of course, he could not expose Howling’s mistake in public, so he just laughed.
“You didn’t go to the battlefield?” Bu Fang looked at Yang Jian, puzzled.
“I was ordered by the Celestial Emperor to guard the Celestial Court,” Yang Jian said solemnly. “The Soul Demon Universe is attacking the Primitive Universe with full force, causing panic among the immortals and deities. All the experts of the Celestial Court have left to fight them, so I need to stay here to prevent those demons from invading our base.”
Bu Fang nodded to show that he understood.
They landed outside the main gates of the Celestial Court. This was the entrance, so countless armored soldiers were stationed here. They were not weak, but they were not too strong either. In any case, there were a lot of them.
“Houtu asked me to come and help you, so here I am. How do I get to the battlefield?” Bu Fang asked.
Yang Jian’s eyes lit up, but he said, “You don’t need to rush to the battlefield for now. The battle on the front lines has come to a stalemate. The main reason is that an almighty expert on our side has awakened.”
“Oh? An almighty expert? Who is it?” Bu Fang was surprised.
“You know him, too. It’s Sect Leader Tongtian!” Yang Jian smiled.
“To break through the shackles, the Sect Leader studied the Sacred Laws. Though he didn’t succeed, he managed to produce a clone, who later went to the Ancestral Planet. When the clone returned, they merged, and that skyrocketed his strength!
“After that, he laid down the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array in the starry sky, killed countless Soul Demons, and even fended off three Great Soul Overlords, who had joined their forces to attack. With his great strength, he temporarily repelled the army of Soul Demons!”
After saying that, Yang Jian took a deep breath. Although he stayed at the Celestial Court, he knew the situation at the front like the back of his hand. After all, the war reports were all delivered to him before he handed them over to the Celestial Emperor.
“Oh? I didn’t know Tongtian is so fearsome!”
Bu Fang was surprised. When he met the Sect Leader on Earth, the latter was already very wild and unrestrained. It turned out that he was the clone of an almighty expert. No wonder he was so domineering.
