Chapter 489: Chapter 489

Listening was originally proficient in Mind Reading Technique, but its attempt to read its new master was unsuccessful, leaving it unaware of what he was thinking, and making him seem increasingly inscrutable.

How could it have known that its master’s thoughts were so swiftly changing, having abandoned "fortune-telling," skipped over boosting his health points, and began planning the farm work for the day, it merely noticed a slight nod from its new master as if in contemplation, followed by a hint of a smile, before a heavy gaze toward the distance.

The little dog couldn’t help but overthink.

Could it be that fate cannot be revealed, is the master hinting at something?

"Right!" It was puzzled for a while but its eyes suddenly brightened, "Woof woof! I’ve had another enlightenment!"

The answer lies in the puzzle itself, the master’s intention is for me to divine his Life Chart!

Indeed, that’s the link.

Having received prior guidance, the boundaries of the Realm have shown signs of loosening. If one could steadily advance another level, there might be a chance to peer into his Life Chart and sense the shock of the universal path of heaven and earth, perhaps even a sudden enlightenment to grasp one’s own path, thus having a chance to transcend the barrier and Ascend to the Immortal Realm!

The master is diligent with his intentions!

Thinking this, it gazed at Jiang Yuan with a look full of gratitude.

[Listening goodwill +300]

Just considering whether to chop some trees or bamboo after mining, Jiang Yuan noticed a stream of goodwill prompts flash across the bottom right of his view, inevitably feeling strange; by rights, Listening as an Ancestor Level big shot has seen all sorts of good things, how could a few cups of Spirit Tea win it over, boosting goodwill so much?

Best to quickly upgrade the Tea Workshop, brew Spirit Tea to refill the Gilded White Jade Pot.

With a few minutes until the Wilderness Ascension and busy happenings, he squinted slightly enjoying the comfort before work.

Suddenly, an earth-stirring rumbling sound arose, the human and dog swiftly turned their heads to the source — the water of the Furong Spirit Pool seemed to be boiling, and mere seconds later, with a muffled explosion, a massive white serpent shimmering with pale colorful light surged skywards!

With water cascading down, Bai Yunqi’s enormous serpent head dangled downward, blinking Snake Eyes as it asked, "Venerable Family, do you see any changes to me?"

With that question, Jiang Yuan felt a bit confused.

What did it mean? Was it looking for a compliment? Should I say it resembles a dragon?

Luckily, the system automatically presented the correct answer — [White Snake after refining Power of Flood Dragon Bloodline has a 15% chance of Transforming into a Dragon, requires refining more Power of Flood Dragon Bloodline to increase success rate]

After reviewing the appraisal information and upon seeing the white snake emerging from retreat, Jiang Yuan noticed the horns on its head were increasingly vivid red, its appearance seemed unchanged, but its overall aura carried a touch more solemnity compared to before.

"Little White, you’re growing more dragon-like," he sincerely remarked, "Seems we should head promptly to Golden Chicken River Market, the Shen Clan’s underground auction there found Power of Flood Dragon Bloodline, there’s no reason for us not to find some. Once you consume and refine more, you can try to Transform into a Dragon."

Bai Yunqi was immensely pleased, shapeshifting into human form to express formal gratitude to the Venerable Family.

He clearly understood that relying on his own strength, not to mention refining Power of Flood Dragon Bloodline to amass power to Transform into a Dragon, even procuring cultivation resources would be a laborious challenge, none would be like today.

Jiang Yuan was thrilled for his contractual pet’s imminent hope of transformation, awaiting successful dragon transformation to allocate a bit of Life Origin without being casually devoured by the main body, occasionally going out flaunting on a dragon, delightful!

The two unseen contractual pets introduced themselves to each other, the little dog wagged its tail raising its front paws to greet "elder brother," causing Jiang Yuan to involuntarily facepalm.

Utterly unable to comprehend Listening’s peculiar hobby, is pretending weak before juniors so amusing?

"Listening? This name sounds somewhat familiar..." Bai Yunqi raised his brow slightly, unable to fathom why the Venerable Family chose to accept such a small Demon Beast, but felt he had vaguely heard it somewhere, recalling closely without success.

"You’ve heard of it?" Jiang Yuan and Listening spoke in unison. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

The other nodded agreeing deeply, "This name is uncommon, I must have heard it somewhere, but where exactly?"

"Woof woof! In this vast world, many share names, it’s not surprising." Listening interjected, "Transforming into a dragon is troublesome, I’ve heard one must first transform into a Flood Dragon, then undergo Tribulation Crossing and Rebirth to become a True Dragon. During the transformation, one must be wary of disruptions, a slip could ruin one’s cultivation. Better to remain a snake, at least free and carefree!

Bai Yunqi slightly raised his head proud saying, "Little dog, what would you know of the dragon’s ambition?

If you’re fortunate to acknowledge the Venerable Family as your master, it shows you have this fate’s opportunity. Although I’m slightly older, I advise you to strive earnestly in cultivation, you might ascend as a Heaven-Howling Dog in the future, nobles leave the Immortal Realm unknown."

Listening was momentarily stunned hearing that, thinking this white snake has quite a cheeky tone!

Its dog eyes blinked as it gathered Spiritual Power to gaze through Bai Yunqi, revealing the body of the Great Demon beneath Yingdi Mountain, thus understanding immediately.

So it is the Great Demon’s avatar, no wonder the Realm is not high, yet ambitions and vision are vast, but the main body is grievously injured thereby slumbering, no matter how robust the avatar, ultimately will be reclaimed by the main body being devoured to restore strength, even if able to Transform into a Dragon it concerns primarily the main body.

"What a pity! Woof! Master might just have raised this serpent in vain... hey? Wait!" Listening suddenly reacted, since it can see through the white snake’s background immediately, could its master not discern that?

If aware it’s merely an avatar, yet still cultivated emphatically, could it be...

A bold guess flashed through its mind — could the master have a way for the avatar to reverse the primary role and devour the main body?!

Looking up at the master it couldn’t fully fathom, the more it pondered, the more plausible it seemed, the little dog’s four legs couldn’t help but tremble slightly with excitement, no wonder the white snake harbors vast ambitions wanting solely to Transform into a Dragon!

Grasping onto such a golden opportunity, what couldn’t be imagined?

With that thought, Listening waggled its tail dreamily, no oh! Rather, it should be visualizing, if one day it too could acquire some propitious assistance, truly able to ascend to a Heaven-Howling Divine Dog...

Ambition must be made known to the master for assistance to be provided!

It immediately nodded vigorously saying, "Little White brother is right, I too shall set lofty ambitions — I shall transform into a Heaven-Howling Divine Dog and ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

Saying that, it gazed at the master with eyes full of expectation.

Not knowing what mental images it conjured, Jiang Yuan casually echoed, "Very well, then diligently cultivate, I’ll do my utmost to provide resources."

Indeed! Listening’s eyes were gleaming, thinking no wonder the master repeatedly guided and subtly hinted, the objective is to urge myself to elevate further!

So the master’s psychological estimation for me is the Divine Dog Level, looks like previously just thinking of realm elevation, standings were too modest.

If such is the case, from this day forth, I’ll be all about rebuilding vigor striving to mirror the white snake’s transformation, objective set as Rebirth!
