Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 110 Advanced Level: The System's Four Major Options (Please Subscribe)

Beneath the banana tree, a great demon with a dog's head and a human body sat upright, its body enveloped in silvery light.

Over several days, the ten golden pills were refined one by one.

Ten more years of magical power grew within his body, bringing his total magical power to a full thirty-one years.

With abundant magical power, drawing incantations and weaving talismans becomes much easier for him.

Wu Tian focused on studying the "Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture," and also devoted some time and energy to learning the other transformations in the "Twelve Transformations of Ghosts and Gods" one by one.

The practice of the Battle Transformation Technique has also honed his talent to a certain extent, enabling him to improve all four of his advanced talents.

However, having tasted the benefits of the elixir and the banana, he would go out for a walk every day.

After all, he possesses the talent of auspicious beasts, which allows him to avoid misfortune and attract good fortune. If any spiritual fruits or immortal plants appear around him, they will not escape his senses.

With his keen eyesight, no treasure can escape his notice.

This is, after all, the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang, with its high peaks and dense forests. Over countless years, it has been nourished by the essence of the sun and moon, which has always nurtured many spiritual creatures.

Many ordinary ferocious birds and beasts have become demons and monsters by taking advantage of opportunities and devouring spiritual objects.

Ten days later, Wu Tian indeed found several bright red winter berries on another mountain.

This fruit is guarded by a group of macaques. Besides the few spiritual plants that have been nourished by the essence of heaven and earth and have developed spirituality, there is also a fruit grove, which becomes a rare food in winter.

Upon discovering the bright red berries, Wu Tian was overjoyed and immediately charged forward, wielding his iron cudgel.

These macaques are numerous and have gained many benefits from guarding several spiritual plants and cold berries. Besides the monkey king being a great demon, there are also a large number of demons and monsters.

After Wu Tian entered the orchard, it was like he had stirred up a hornet's nest; monkeys were everywhere.

Wu Tian casually unleashed a gust of yin wind, which instantly swept across the heavens and earth. Wherever the yin wind passed, the macaques fell to the ground one by one, like straw blown by the wind, none of them able to stand firm.

No matter what kind of demons or monsters you are, just one gust of this eerie wind and your vision goes black, causing you to fall to the ground.

The demons could at least withstand it, but those that had just become spirits, along with the ordinary macaques, had their souls blown away.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was littered with monkey corpses.

The monkeys that were about to rush forward were terrified and scattered in all directions, chattering and screaming.

But the Monkey King, now a great demon, refused to give up. He roared and charged forward, his body swaying as he transformed into a figure seven or eight zhang tall, imposing and majestic, baring his teeth and spewing out yellowish-green demonic energy—truly terrifying.

Wu Tian was eager to test his skills, so he didn't dodge. He simply raised his hand, and with a crackling sound, lightning exploded, and a bolt of lightning struck out brightly.

Boom!

As the deafening thunder roared, the lightning struck the ape's head.

The crackling and popping sounds were incessant.

The violent lightning and fierce thunder scorched the monkey king's head black.

This monkey was indeed thick-skinned and tough; a bolt of lightning only severely injured it, and it didn't die.

"If one isn't enough, then let's have another one."

Wu Tian showed no mercy, unleashing two more bolts of heavenly lightning in quick succession.

Boom! Boom!
When the thunderous roar resounded, the Monkey King's head had already been smashed to pieces.

Three bolts of lightning struck the monkey's head in quick succession, stunning it completely. Its skull exploded on the spot, and its body crashed to the ground with a thud, raising dust in the air. Moments later, it reverted to its original form.

Wu Tian unleashed a gust of cold wind that shattered the monkey's soul, killing it completely.

It has to be said that the power of this heavenly lightning was terrifying.

It is fast, powerful, and full of awe-inspiring divine might.

Even the toughest demon couldn't withstand being struck head-on by lightning.

The thunder roared and the eerie wind howled, their combined power creating a truly terrifying killing force.

The surrounding monkeys, seeing that their monkey king was dead, were so frightened that they dared not utter a sound and fled far away.

Wu Tian picked all the ripe berries. There weren't many restrictions on the quality of these berries; any ripe one could be eaten.

He took the fruit and returned to Sunset Valley to refine it.

This time there were many fruits, so he specially set some aside for his two masters, his senior sister and junior brother, and Yinshuang to try.

He refined the rest and gained seven or eight years' worth of magical power in one fell swoop.

In addition, it absorbs and releases the life and death energies brought about by killing, and the progress of its great demon body is also increasing.

The maximum mana limit has been raised to sixty years.

After tasting the benefits, Wu Tian became even more interested and traveled deep into the mountains of southern Xinjiang, exploring hidden places and searching for spiritual materials.

The ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, combined with keen eyesight, makes finding treasure in these mountains virtually invincible.

When winter passes and spring arrives.

He has traveled thousands of miles through the mountains, fought with dozens of great demons, and seen all kinds of monsters and demons, including those that fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run on the ground.

Among those great demons, there were some who were difficult to deal with. They had cultivated for countless years, their magical power was already perfect, and their talents were extremely terrifying.

There was a stone goblin that was neither alive nor dead. It had no soul, but it possessed intelligence and a tough body. Even heavenly lightning could only scorch it black.

Wu Tian fought him several times, but neither side could gain the upper hand.

He seized the opportunity to steal the earth's milk that the guy was guarding, and then made his escape.

In addition, there was a three-legged crow whose soul-snatching abilities were even more terrifying than Wu Tian's eerie winds.

The crow's caw nearly caused his soul to leave his body.

Wu Tian was terrified and kept his distance, never daring to approach again.

Such troublesome monsters are not numerous, but he has encountered more than five times. It is likely that there are many more terrifying monsters in this vast mountain range.

The Ten Thousand Mountains, accumulated over countless years, have filled the depths of these mountains with both danger and wonder.

As he spent more time traveling deep into the mountains, he learned about the conditions of these 100,000 mountains.

Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains lies the Palace of Immortality, whose master is said to be a phoenix who became a Great Sage long ago.

Even the leaders of the major sects in the Central Plains had to treat him with respect.

Below this Great Sage are two Demon Saints, namely the Golden-Winged Roc and the Azure Phoenix, who reside in Moyun Ridge and Jietian Cliff, respectively.

Below the Demon Saint, there are over a hundred Demon Kings, scattered throughout the Hundred Thousand Mountains, each ruling over a section of forest.

These demon kings varied in strength, with the weaker ones being only equivalent to human Dao Embryo cultivators; while the great demon kings had already refined innate divine abilities from their inner cores, enabling them to fight against Nascent Soul experts.

These great demon kings were far fewer in number, and Wu Tian didn't know their exact number. He only heard from the demons and monsters that the true great demon kings lived deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains and rarely ventured to the outer areas. In the outer regions of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, almost every mountain peak had a great demon, and these great demons were assigned to the jurisdiction of certain demon kings.

All the spiritual creatures produced on the mountaintop must be offered as tribute to those demon kings.

Wu Tian's location, Trapped Sky Mountain and Sunset Valley, are both ruled by a female demon queen who is a fire toad spirit.

This demon king calls himself the Crimson Spirit King. Hundreds of mountains around him are his territory. Every few years, when he leaves seclusion, he will tour the mountains within his territory to deal with those disobedient great demons.

During the time Wu Tian was intruding into Trapped Sky Mountain and Sunset Valley, the Crimson Spirit King was sleeping at the bottom of a deep abyss, which is why there was no movement.

Having wandered through these mountains and forests for a long time, he encountered many troublesome demons and became even more wary of those demon kings.

Little did they know that he had been traveling far and wide during this winter, plundering spiritual objects and killing powerful demons wherever he went, and had already terrified countless demons and monsters.

The well-informed fairies in the area already knew that a dog-headed monster had appeared nearby, wielding a mixed iron rod that could unleash thunder and yin winds.

When the heavenly lightning struck, even the mighty demon's body was reduced to dust.
The howling wind can even cause demons to be utterly destroyed.

At first, some monsters were too blind to fight him, and their fates were all miserable!

Later, these demons were already terrified of being killed. When they saw the evil star coming to their door, they hurriedly offered up the prepared spiritual offerings, which was how they managed to escape with their lives.

Wu Tian did not actively kill anyone; as long as the other party did not take the initiative, he would only take the spiritual items.

If there are any fools who dare to make a move, I can just kill them and use the life and death energies to temper the body of a great demon.

In this way, he could both collect spiritual objects and refine his magical power, while simultaneously breathing in and out the two energies of life and death to hone his great demon body.

The progress of his cultivation is simply advancing by leaps and bounds...

In particular, the progress of the Life and Death Talisman, as the great demon body inhaled and exhaled the two energies of life and death, was like a rising tide, with its advancement becoming increasingly terrifying.

In just a few months, he broke through three more heavens and cultivated the Life and Death Talisman to the fifth level, making his methods of heavenly thunder and yin wind increasingly terrifying.

If we were to encounter that Monkey King again, a single bolt of lightning would be enough to kill him.

On the contrary, the Heavenly Talisman is truly profound and obscure, and the first level of the talisman has been slow to be refined.

In fact, Wu Tian was unaware of this.

The first three volumes of the "Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture" each teach a different talisman, but the celestial talisman is the most difficult to cultivate.

The senior master who deduced this Dao Embryo Method only cultivated the Heavenly Talisman to the third level.

Then, using the third layer of the Heavenly Talisman, he fused the Life and Death Talismans, transforming them into Hellfire, and finally refined a magic bead.

The cultivation of this Heavenly Talisman was, to some extent, based on the "Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture" and other top-tier Daoist embryonic methods of the Taiqing Temple.

Using the laws of Heaven to unify the principles of life and death, its intention is truly grand.

If one could truly cultivate the Heavenly Talisman to the tenth level, it would already be a top-tier Dao Embryo Technique of the twelfth rank.

However, since this method was created, only one senior master, by chance, received a great blessing and accumulated merit and fortune, which allowed him to cultivate the Heavenly Talisman to the fifth level.

Most other practitioners of this method only need to cultivate the Heavenly Talisman to the first level, which is sufficient for their needs.

Wu Tian didn't know the reason behind this, but he felt that his talent in this area was not high enough, so he worked harder to hone his eagle eyes, hoping to perfect this talent.

At that time, the cultivation of the Heavenly Talisman will naturally accelerate.

After several months, winter turned to spring, and his magical power had accumulated for sixty-eight years, reaching the current cultivation limit.

He has mastered the first level of all twelve transformations of "Twelve Transformations of Ghosts and Gods," but he is still far from being able to transform into a three-headed, six-armed ghost or god.

However, these transformation techniques are not entirely useless. They not only allow him to control his own magical power more precisely, but the more proficient he becomes in these techniques, the more beneficial they are to his Yin Wind Technique.

In addition, all his talents have improved somewhat.

Even the Heavenly Talisman, after several months of refinement, is finally about to complete its first level.

On this day, Wu Tian sat cross-legged in Luoxia Valley, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, the essence of wind and thunder, and his internal magical power surged like the tide.

His magical power, accumulated over sixty-eight years, was pure and profound.

After more than a year of cultivation, the Heavenly Talisman was finally taking shape.

As the last incantation was condensed by magical power, a talisman flowing with golden light appeared in the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows.

This talisman is about two fingers wide and seven inches long. It is covered in flowing golden light, and within each ray of golden light are countless incantations that come and go.

Once this talisman was completed, it had already reached the fifth level of the Life and Death Talisman, yet it yielded the core of the ancestral aperture as if a subject had met a king.

The Heavenly Talisman hangs in the center like the sun, while the Life and Death Talismans flow with purple and blue light, surrounding it and moving along an incomparably mysterious trajectory.

"It's done!"

Wu Tian was overjoyed, and just then, he heard a system notification sound.

Ding! System notification: You have successfully comprehended the "Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture," grasped the principles of Heaven, and can now resonate with advanced auspicious beasts, fiery eyes, and the bodies of great demons.

Ding! System notification: You can choose one of the following four options as your cultivation path.

Wu Tian was somewhat bewildered. When he successfully cultivated the Life and Death Talisman, there was no such prompt. It resonated directly with the Wind and Thunder Escape, forming the Yin Wind Technique and the Heavenly Thunder Technique.

Now, both of these methods have been cultivated to the fifth level, and their power is growing stronger and stronger, making them the main means in his combat system.

But as soon as the Heavenly Talisman appeared, even the system gave a notification, and four options appeared for the first time ever.

He quickly opened the system panel and examined it carefully.

The system notification indicates that your Heavenly Talisman resonates with your Fiery Eyes and Auspicious Beast talents, and the principles of Heaven intertwine with the principles of the Sun and Moon and the principles of Destiny, allowing you to witness the wonders of time.

Option 1: Glimps the Future; You can receive three pieces of information for the next three days each day. As your talents and runes improve, the amount and time span of the information you receive will also increase.

Option Two: Know the Past; You can extract the aura of living beings to glimpse their past. As your talent and magical talismans improve, you can know everything that has happened in heaven and earth, across the four seas and eight wastelands, among gods, immortals, Buddhas, demons, monsters, and ghosts.

Option 3: Seize the moment. You will receive one skill point each year to improve any of your talents and skills. As your talents and spells improve, the number of skill points you receive each year will continue to increase, and you can even use up future skill points to some extent.

Note: 1 skill point is equivalent to one year of arduous training.

Note: I wish I could borrow another ten thousand years from heaven, give me ten thousand years' worth of skill points, and I could...

The system notification indicates that your Heavenly Talisman resonates with the Auspicious Beast Talent and the Great Demon Body Talent, and the Heavenly Laws intertwine with the Laws of Destiny and the Laws of Life and Death, revealing the wonders of cause and effect.

You have been given additional options.

Option four, "Untainted by Cause and Effect," allows you to consume auspicious energy to sever causal ties and block deductions and calculations.

Note: When you use this talent to kill, no supernatural power or secret technique can detect it unless you witness it with your own eyes.

Note: The heavier the karmic burden of the person killed, the more auspicious energy will be consumed. Please use this method with caution.

Wu Tian was completely dumbfounded. What should he choose?
