To help Lord Dog make a breakthrough?Lord Dog’s gentle and magnetic voice rang in the restaurant. It made everyone freeze and suck in a cold breath.

  Could a glass of this wine help Lord Dog make a breakthrough?

  Even Yellow Spring Great Sage’s pupils constricted. It was then that he thought of such an important matter, and for a moment, his breathing became faster. ‘If this wine can help that mangy dog break through, it can help me as well…… And if he can break through his current realm…… he will touch that level! Heaven!’


  Yellow Spring Great Sage felt excited when he thought about it!

  Bu Fang paused for a moment, then he thought of the same. He knew that if Lord Dog could make a breakthrough, he was likely to reach an extremely formidable realm. Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to answer Lord Dog’s urge.

  He lifted the jar’s lid straight away. The strong bouquet immediately permeated the air, intoxicating all the people present. Whether this wine could help Great Saints break through, just the aroma alone was worth tasting!

  Bu Fang gestured with his finger. The rainbow-colored wine flew out of the jar instantly and filled the glass like a tiny snake, spreading an intense fragrance through the air.

  Lord Dog licked his lips with a hint of excitement in his eyes. In addition to Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs, this wine was another thing that could excite him.

  “Drink it quickly…… Don’t stand on ceremony,” Yellow Spring Great Sage urged.

  Nethery and the others also watched curiously.

  When Bu Fang handed the wine glass to Lord Dog, the latter narrowed his eyes. His mental force poured out and held the glass. Looking at the wine, his nose twitched as he sniffed at it. Then, a strange look came over his face, and he stuck out his tongue to lick his lips. The next moment, with a gurgling sound, the glass upended and the wine flowed out of it like a tiny snake, rushing into his mouth.

  Lord Dog opened his mouth, his sharp teeth glistening in the light.

  Gulp.

  The moment the wine entered his mouth, he gulped it down.

  The crowd seemed to hear the sound of a waterfall or a torrent, and that put a baffled look on their faces. Wasn’t it just a tiny stream of wine? Why did it sound as if he had drunk a whole waterfall?

  Yellow Spring Great Sage held his wine jar as he fixed his eyes on Lord Dog. He wasn’t the only one. All the people in the restaurant were staring at Lord Dog. They were very curious. If the Earth Prison Dog made a breakthrough after drinking the wine, what level would he reach? Could it be beyond the Great Saint Realm?

  Only Yellow Spring Great Sage knew Lord Dog’s strength. Like him, the Earth Prison Dog was a Nine-revolution Great Saint. In the Netherworld, Nine-revolution Great Saints were already the strongest existences. The previous Nether King, Tian Cang, was at this level as well, and so were the nine old fellows of the nine Nether Prison clans.

  This level was already the supreme strength in this world. However, it was still within the Great Saint Realm. The people in the restaurant didn’t know if there were other realms beyond the Great Saint Realm.

  Yellow Spring Great Sage knew, of course. Outside the Netherworld, there was a boundless starry sky and real great worlds. There should be existences beyond the Great Saint Realm in those worlds.

  The goal of those old fellows of the nine Nether Prison clans was to integrate the surrounding small worlds and make the Netherworld step into the ranks of great worlds. If they succeed, they would be able to get in touch with the other great worlds and obtain the ways to enter higher realms.

  Of course, if Bu Fang’s wine could aid in breaking through, it would save a lot of effort. That was the reason why Yellow Spring Great Sage was so curious and even looked forward to the result.

  Gulp.

  Lord Dog blinked and twitched his nose. After drinking the wine, he lay on the ground.

  The whole restaurant was very quiet. Nobody said anything as everyone stared at Lord Dog, hoping to see the signs of breaking through.

  Burp……

  After a long time, Lord Dog opened his mouth and burped. A strong alcohol smell filled the air as he smacked his mouth and sighed with regret.

  “The wine is great, but a pity……” He shook his head with a strong look of regret in his eyes.

  Sure enough, he couldn’t make a breakthrough. The shackle of this world was too strong. Bu Fang’s wine was magical, but it still couldn’t help a Great Saint break free of the shackle. The wine was like a small knife. It could help Great Saints cut the ropes that restricted them, but it was not strong enough to cut the cage that was made with towering tree trunks.

  “But still, there’s a surprise.” Lord Dog grinned. The breaths puffing out of his nose smelled of alcohol.

  Yellow Spring Great Sage felt regret when he found that Lord Dog had not made a breakthrough, and he let out a long sigh. ‘It didn’t work?’ A bitter smile came over his face. He thought he was a fool to lay his hope on a jar of wine. However, his depressed mood was gone as soon as he sensed Lord Dog’s aura. ‘Apparently, the wine was not completely useless. It actually helped that mangy dog completely recover from his injury……’


  Even he felt somewhat frightened upon sensing Lord Dog’s pressure.

  ‘This dog had devoured so much Will of the Great Path…… which seems to be a way as well. Should I copy him and eat some Will of the Great Path?’ Yellow Spring Great Sage clutched the fist-sized jade jar, his eyes gleaming.

  However, after thinking for a while, he gave up the idea. Although a Great Saint was formidable, the backlash of the Will of the Great Path was not something fun to deal with.

  “I’m a little sleepy. I’ll take a nap……” Lord Dog said, twitching his nose and glancing at Bu Fang.

  Bu Fang nodded.

  After that, Lord Dog turned around, walked with wobbling cat-like steps to the Path-Understanding Tree, lay under it, and fell asleep.

  Bu Fang felt a little regret as well. The supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine could help Great Saints break through, but it couldn’t help Lord Dog. Judging from that, Lord Dog was most likely a Nine-revolution Great Saint, which made him a supreme existence among all Great Saints.

  After so long, he finally found out about the dog’s cultivation base. Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth.

  “Yellow Spring Great Sage, we are leaving now……”


  You Ji and Luo Ji also wished to try Bu Fang’s wine, but when they looked at Nether King Er Ha, who was as drunk as a dead pig, they chose to bring him back to the Nether King Palace first. It would not be so good if the Nether King made a fool of himself in front of the general public.

  Yellow Spring Great Sage nodded.

  After that, You Ji and Luo Ji helped Nether King Er Ha up and flew into the sky.

  In midair, Nether King Er Ha, who was supported by You Ji and Luo Ji, suddenly woke up, reached out his hands, and cried at the top of his lungs. “Spicy strip! My spicy strips…… My stack of spicy strips…… Spicy strips, come back to me!”


  Bu Fang glanced coldly at him. ‘Your spicy strips? Hehe……’


  Bu Fang’s expression made Nethery, who stood at his side, shudder instantly. She had a feeling that when Nether King Er Ha woke up, he would be mercilessly exploited by Bu Fang.

  Bu Fang covered the jar with its lid, then glanced at Yellow Spring Great Sage and said, “Do you want to try it?”


  Yellow Spring Great Sage looked at the fist-sized wine jar in his hand, then at the huge wine jar at Bu Fang’s side. His nostrils widened, and his eyes narrowed as he threw out a bag of Nether Crystals.

  Sitting in a chair and carefully putting away his wine jar, Yellow Spring Great Sage said generously, “Come, give me a glass of wine!”


  That gave Nethery a pause. “Don’t you have the wine yourself, Yellow Spring Great Sage?” she asked in puzzlement.

  “I can’t bear to drink it. Little girl, do you know that the longer you keep the wine, the better it will become? I want to hold this wine jar for…… ten thousand years!” Yellow Spring Great Sage said seriously.

  Both Nethery and Foxy froze.

  ‘What you said is so reasonable that…… Foxy and I are speechless.’


  “Alright.” Bu Fang agreed to Yellow Spring Great Sage’s idea. His wine would really get better and stronger the longer it was kept. However, how it was kept was extremely crucial.

  He poured a glass of wine for Yellow Spring Great Sage.

  Soon after, there was another drunk man in the restaurant.

  “I tell you…… Years ago, I visited the Abyss and stayed sober after drinking a thousand glasses of wine…… I’ve tried all three best wines of the Abyss…… The taste…… Now that I think of it…… Ugh…… I can’t remember how they tasted now…… Little girl, I tell you…… when that fellow Tian Cang came to me…… I…… I……”


  Yellow Spring Great Sage’s face was red, and his breath stank of alcohol as he pulled Nethery to the dining table and babbled at her. Nethery had no choice but to put on an embarrassed smile that didn’t lack politeness. As for Foxy, who was in her arms, she pinched her nose with a disgusted look.

  Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the alcohol content in this supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine was really strong. All the Great Saints who tried it had become drunk, even though each of them just drank one glass.

  ‘No wonder the System provides me such a tiny glass. If the wine is served with a bowl…… It will kill them, won’t it?’ Bu Fang thought to himself.

  At this moment, the group of people outside the door was already restless. They couldn’t believe that the wine in this restaurant could help Great Saints break through. Although it was ineffective for the Earth Prison Dog and Yellow Spring Great Sage, they were nowhere near as good as these two existences, who were supreme existences in the whole Netherworld.

  Since even Great Saints made breakthroughs after drinking the wine, it would surely help them, who were just Little Saints, right?

  As soon as the thought came to them, the crowd exploded into an uproar.

  “I have to try this wine no matter what!”


  “I want to drink it, even if I need to sell everything my family owns!”


  “Quick, go back and inform the family to prepare Nether Crystals. The wine costs one million Nether Crystals a glass…… F*cking expensive!”


  Many experts of aristocratic families shared similar thoughts. Soon, the line in front of the restaurant was dispersed. No one would bring one million Nether Crystals with them all the time, except Great Saints, of course. There were no Great Saints in the line, and one million Nether Crystals was a huge sum. In fact, the amount was almost the entire wealth of a small family!……

  In the Nether King Palace of Earth Prison……

  A rumbling sound rang out in the sky. Earth Prison’s Will of the Great Path rolled over, blanketing the whole palace with terrible pressure.

  Outside the tightly shut palace doors, Old Tie looked with a blank face at the changes in the sky and felt incredulous.

  “What’s going on? Is His Highness about to break through again? With his lazy attitude, how could he break through so frequently? What happened to this world?!”


  Meanwhile, a terrible Will of the Great Path was also spreading in the sky over Prison Overlord Ying Long’s residence, and a rumbling sound kept ringing out!

  Two Great Saints were making breakthroughs at the same time.

  “What the hell is going on?” Old Tie wondered if he was really out of touch with the world for too long?

  The air rang with the deafening rumble of thunder. On this day, the whole Earth Prison was wrapped in a sea of lightning. The breakthrough of a Great Saint was loud and noisy. It had been a few thousand years since the last breakthrough of a Great Saint, for it was not an easy feat to achieve……

  At the Cave of the Fallen Gods……

  A golden skeleton stood outside the cave with blood-colored ghostly fire dancing in its empty eye sockets.

  “Ying Long old man is breaking through? That old fellow has basically used up all his talent, and he is so old that breaking through will be a heavy burden for his body…… And yet, he actually broke through now?

  “There must be something strange about it. Also, Tian Cang’s boy had just gone through the Demon Passes, but he’s making another breakthrough now…… This time, he doesn’t have the Demon Passes to conceal the heavenly secret for him, thus making such a loud noise…… The attention of Nether Prison will surely be attracted.”


  Buzz……

  A silver skeleton walked out of the cave.

  “Go to the Nether King Palace and find out what caused those Great Saints to break through so rapidly,” said the golden skeleton.

  The blue ghostly fire in the silver skeleton’s eyes flickered, and then it vanished in an instant……

  A clump of black smoke swirled over the Black Temple, where a pair of scarlet eyes hovered.

  “This is incredible…… Ying Long, the old dragon, is getting a second chance? He has broken through even at such an old age? What is the reason? Something is not right! I must send someone to find out about this oddity!”
……

  In Goddess City, Empress Bi Luo was enjoying a chocolate cake and a delicious glass of pearl milk tea in Fang Fang’s Ice Cream Store. She was sitting in front of a large window in a bright red dress with her long fair legs stretched out. The light shone through the glass and fell on her, making her look very beautiful.

  Many women in the city were looking at her, enchanted by her beauty.

  Suddenly, Empress Bi Luo, who had just sucked a pearl into her mouth, froze as she saw a gentle woman in a plain white dress sitting in front of her.

  It was the High Priestess.

  “Your Majesty, there is a message from Master…… She asked us to find out about the mystery of Ying Long getting a second chance and report the findings to her as soon as possible,” said the High Priestess in a soft voice.

  However, her words put a strange look on Empress Bi Luo’s face.

  “That old fellow Ying Long got a second chance? How could he find a female dragon at such an old age?” Empress Bi Luo scooped up a large chunk of chocolate cake with a spoon and happily shoved it into her mouth, then looked doubtfully at the High Priestess.

  The High Priestess twitched the corner of her mouth. “No…… Ying Long has broken through. Master ordered us to find out the reason. It is incredible that he could break through, and Master thinks that there is something strange in it.”


  “Oh. I was wondering why would any female dragon fall for that old fellow…… Well, I’ll make the arrangement after I finish my afternoon tea,” said the empress.

  “Master wants Your Majesty to find out the truth yourself,” the High Priestess’s voice was serious.

  That gave Empress Bi Luo a pause. “Oh, alright.”


  “Your Majesty, your matcha-flavored ice cream is here……” Jing Yuan’s gentle voice rang out.

  “Awww…… Give it to me……” While chewing the cake in her mouth and with some milky-white cream on her red lips, Empress Bi Luo picked up her milk tea and rose to her feet.

  The corner of the High Priestess’s mouth twitched violently as she looked at Empress Bi Luo’s back.

  ‘Your Majesty, I know desserts are delicious, but…… you need to control a little bit.’


  The fact that Ying Long and the Nether King broke through at the same time sent a storm across the whole Earth Prison. The impact caused by the breakthrough of Great Saints was naturally extraordinary, and it shocked all the aristocratic families, major cities, and even forbidden lands!

  Even Nether Prison was somewhat struck dumb……

  In the Yellow Spring Little Restaurant……

  The night had grown dark. The restaurant’s door closed with a creak. It was brightly lit inside, and Bu Fang could be seen sitting at the dining table. A jade jar was placed on the table, which contained the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine.

  Nethery had left to borrow money from her sister.

  Bu Fang removed the lid and poured himself a glass. Immediately, the bouquet wafted out. The rainbow-colored wine swirled in the glass, looking dazzlingly beautiful. He took a deep sniff at the aroma, twitched the corner of his mouth, and brought the glass in front of his lips.
