Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 295 The Petrified Puppy
"Son!"

On the treasure ship, another exclamation of surprise rang out, this time from a spirited old woman dressed in the robes of the Patching Heaven Sect.

She was none other than Granny Xihua!
"What are you doing here? Are you trying to cross domains?"

Lin Fan was curious and looked around. He found that there were quite a few disciples of the Patching Heaven Sect on the large ship, which meant that they were obviously going on a long journey.

"Your Highness, the Emperor of the Stone Kingdom in the Desolate Region will soon be celebrating his birthday. Wan'er will be returning to offer her congratulations, and we will accompany her to celebrate with him."

Granny Xihua answered with great respect, because Lin Fan's current cultivation level was difficult for her to see clearly, and she felt that he was unfathomable.

Moreover, unlike others, she was well aware of Lin Fan's terrifying talent. He had already reached the Array Formation Realm six years ago, and who knows what his cultivation level is now.

At the same time, Shi Wan'er nodded beside her, looking very reserved, because compared to Lin Fan, a princess of a lower realm was nothing.

Furthermore, her ability to join the Heaven-Mending Sect and be accepted as a disciple by Granny Xihua was largely due to Lin Fan.

"It's the Stone Emperor's birthday... If nothing unexpected happens, Little Naihao should have obtained the Kunpeng Treasure Technique. Come back from the North Sea soon."

Lin Fan pondered and felt that the timing was just right, and he was also very tempted by this Ten Fiends Technique.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Xihua said, "If you are going to the Desolate Region, young master, you might as well travel with me. I can prepare the best VIP cabin for you."

"No need, the big ship is too slow, I can break through the boundary myself."

Lin Fan shook his head and stopped lingering. His golden blood energy erupted, as hot as the sun, and he threw a punch that tore through the void.

With a whoosh, he and the puppy stepped inside and continued their journey, traversing most of the universe and reaching the vicinity of the boundary wall.

"My God, this young man can actually tear through the void with his bare hands and traverse it. What incredible strength!"

This scene left everyone speechless, and it took them a long time to recover before it suddenly caused a great uproar.

"He must have surpassed the Venerable Realm and ignited the Divine Flame, otherwise he couldn't have done this!"

"No, I think it's more than that. According to ancient records, even divine fire doesn't have that power; only a legendary true god could!"

"What, hiss..."

Immediately, many people gasped in shock, stunned by the news from various major religions and races; it was truly an explosive development.

Xihua and the others were quite pleased with themselves, as this undoubtedly boosted the prestige of the Butian Sect. Soon, they received even more respect from all sides.

"I knew you would be strong, but I didn't expect you to rise so quickly. Even if my father mobilized the entire nation, he would still be no match for you."

The Ninth Princess sighed, her heart filled with unease. In just a few years, the other party had already reached a point where he deserved respect.

……

On the other side, Lin Fan traveled at full speed, incredibly fast, like a floating light, like a fleeting shadow.

As he passed through the heavens, the divine light he emitted created a cometary tail, which the creatures on the ground mistook for a falling star.

Soon after, the man and the dog tore through one boundary after another, passed through several domains, and finally reached the end of the eight domains—the Desolate Domain.

In fact, such a distance is not too far. The entire Eight Domains combined may not even be as large as a single state in the Upper Realm.

Furthermore, not every major domain needs to be traversed; some boundary walls are connected, allowing direct skipping to reach the destination.

Soon, relying on his memory, he found the small mountain village nestled in the wilderness, still as peaceful and serene as ever.

Right at the village entrance, some people were coming and going. Most of them were familiar faces, but there were also some unfamiliar ones, who were newborn babies from recent years.

They were running around, each one very lively and adorable, ranging in age from a little over one year old to four years old.

In front of the village, the most eye-catching thing is a willow tree, with its emerald green branches and glistening green tendrils hanging down, sparkling and radiant.

"Aunt Liu has recovered a lot!" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.

Now, the lightning-struck parts of the willow tree are almost invisible; the charred black has disappeared, and bark resembling dragon scales has grown, with a total of eighty-one tender shoots.

It sat there peacefully, its trunk growing ever taller, brimming with vitality, radiating a hazy green light that inspired reverence and closeness. "This village isn't much to speak of; many are still mortals who haven't yet embarked on the path of cultivation. Why would the ancestral spirit choose this place as its sacrificial site?"

The puppy looked around, its big eyes filled with confusion.

"Hey, someone's come to the village entrance! No, it's that older brother from before!" Someone spotted them and immediately shouted.

In fact, some of the older children still remember Lin Fan, especially the delicious food he brought; just thinking about it makes their mouths water.

"What? Brother Lin is here? Where is he...?"

Lin Fan's arrival caused a stir in the village; men, women, and children all came, creating a lively atmosphere and treating him like one of their own.

Even the Willow Goddess awoke and sent out her divine thoughts to communicate with him.

"You've done very well in the past few years, you've made great progress!"

"Aunt Liu, isn't Xiao Hao here?" Lin Fan asked.

"He went to the Kunpeng Nest, he should be back soon," Liu Shen told her, while she looked at the puppy and said, "You..."

"Lord Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit, do you still remember me? I am a dog raised by the Immortal King of Immortal Ancient Wuzhong." The puppy said earnestly, unusually restraining its nature, and was very eager.

“I have some recollection, but… I don’t remember,” Liu Shen replied.

In an instant, the puppy's face fell, and it remained silent for a long time.

"Haha... Dog, all that bragging you usually do doesn't seem to be all that great after all." Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"Get out of here!" the puppy rolled its eyes.

"Hey, Uncle, is this your dog? It's so cute, just like Big Yellow!"

A few children, unafraid of strangers, walked over, their big, bright eyes and childlike voices filling the air.

As for Dahuang, it is a yellow mongrel dog kept in Shicun Village. It guards the house and is loved by the children.

Upon hearing this, the puppy froze on the spot, its old face turning red. It was so old, yet it was called cute, and it almost jumped up and ran away.

"Hehe!" Lin Fan chuckled, warning him not to act recklessly. They were just a group of simple mortals, and the village was protected by the Willow God.

"Wang!"

The next moment, a dog barked, and the big yellow dog from Stone Village came over, looked at its fellow dog with great joy.

However, the puppy was furious, its face turning black, because the dog had mistaken it for a child and wanted to pet its head.

Then, unable to fight back, it ran away in a fit of rage, leaping and bounding through the wilderness to vent its anger.

Therefore, over the course of several days and nights, the mournful howls of ferocious beasts echoed through the dense primeval forest.

"Uncle, your puppy ran away!" A little toddler tugged at his trouser leg, looking utterly adorable.

"Don't worry about them, they'll come back on their own." Lin Fan pinched the faces of these little creatures, some male and some female, each one fair and tender.

At the same time, he was also very emotional about how time had changed. Back then, Er Meng and Pi Hou, who were younger than him and used to pester him, were now all married and had children.

"Pfft!"

Lin Fan conjured a red-feathered crane, which immediately caused a group of children to scream, not out of fear, but out of joy and curiosity.

Several toddlers who had just learned to walk rushed over to touch the bird's bright feathers, but the adults stopped them.

Because this red-feathered crane was no ordinary creature; even in death, the blood that dripped from it sent chills down their spines.

Especially their crimson feathers; to them, each one could be a treasure, so they were afraid the child would get hurt.

"Don't be shy, everyone. Today I'm treating you to the flesh of the gods," Lin Fan said with a smile.
