The Empress's defying Spirit Hound, Shangguan Chuanchuan, had no name before following Shangguan Linlang; it was merely a dog, no different from other dogs, at least on the surface. However, this dog knew it was different because it had become enlightened and had the fortune to be enlightened by Master Damo. After another hundred years of cultivation, it became a Spirit Hound, in short, a Dog Spirit.
Although it had become a spirit, it couldn't change the fact that it was still a dog. Once, with nothing to do, the Dog Spirit chanced upon the master of Shangguan Linlang, namely Tian Xingzi, mentioned several times by the Empress.
