Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 116 The Immortal's Calamity, the Demon God's Immortality (Please Subscribe)
Wu Tian took the Crimson Wood and fled, but instead of heading to the Hidden Sword Cave, he went straight back to Sunset Valley.

Chi Limu had just left the Hidden Sword Cave and was yearning for freedom, full of excitement about the outside world, so naturally he was even less willing to go back.

The two of them caused a ruckus at Skull Mountain and then slipped away right under their master's nose, as if they had done something wrong.

Back in Sunset Valley, Chi Limu's pretty face was flushed with joy and excitement.

"Junior brother, how is my swordsmanship?"

"Give me a little more time, and I'm absolutely sure I can kill that woman."

Wu Tian thought to himself, "I don't know about his swordsmanship, but that immortal sword is really amazing. It cuts through cultivators at the Refinement Realm as easily as slicing vegetables."

This is only because Chi Limu's cultivation is still shallow; otherwise, he could have simply used a sword light to cut down all eighteen forms and eighteen arms with a single strike.

However, after this ordeal, Chi Limu's swordsmanship will undoubtedly improve.

Swordsmanship can only be honed through combat.

Practicing asceticism behind closed doors is nothing but a facade.

"Senior sister, you must have gained a lot this time, right? I've also gained some. How about we go into seclusion for a few days to digest and absorb the knowledge before we go sightseeing elsewhere?"

Wu Tian tried to persuade her, and Chi Limu did not refuse. Since she began cultivating, she had rarely left the Hidden Sword Cave. The few times she did leave the mountain were all on her master's orders to slay demons and monsters.

But at that time, she didn't even need to lift a finger. Zhu Yeshuang's primordial spirit could travel a thousand miles on a sword, and even a demon king could be slain with a single strike.

This time, by putting what she had learned into practice, she discovered many of her shortcomings and gained a deeper understanding of the Nanming Lihuo Sword Technique, so she agreed to it.

Wu Tian and she entered the cliff cave he had carved out. Although it was very simple, it was more than enough to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Once Chi Limu sat cross-legged in the cave, he began to circulate his internal energy.

Wu Tian then instructed Yin Shuang to guard the cave entrance, and soon the somewhat dim cave became quiet.

Chi Limu's eyes were tightly closed, and crimson light shot straight to the top of his head. A sword aura shifted and changed within the crimson light, as if it were fiercely fighting with someone.

Silver Frost lay prostrate at the entrance of the stone cave, her eyes slightly narrowed, her breath rhythmic.

Its current cultivation of the Thunder Sound Mantra has taken a completely different path from Wu Tian's. Not only is it not as imposing, but it also has a kind of profound silence, with silver lightning entering its abdomen between its breaths to temper its body.

Wu Tian also swayed, transformed into his true form, lay on the ground, slowly closed his eyes, and began to absorb Wu Qinghuan's past memories.

Countless images flashed through my mind...

This was an incredibly mysterious experience; in the outside world, it was only a few breaths, but he had experienced more than a hundred years of Wu Qinghuan's life.

After Wu Tian broke free from Wu Qinghuan's past memories, he couldn't help but think with some envy, "That old bald thief Wu Qinghuan really knows how to enjoy himself. There are quite a few of those young and beautiful female disciples from the Thirty-Six Caves who are his playthings."

It was from Wu Qinghuan's memories that he learned that the lineage of the Skull Mountain sect leader was even darker and more depraved than he had imagined.

The so-called thirty-six cave branches are nothing more than servants used to plunder spiritual objects in their eyes. Even the disciples of the thirty-six caves are considered as resources in their eyes.

The spirits of these branch disciples after their deaths can be used to refine the Hundred Beasts Spirit Banner, and their flesh and bones can be used to feed the White Bone Demon God.

While alive, they can cultivate spiritual materials, patrol the eighteen villages, and hunt demonic beasts, making them far more useful than any servant.

Even the female disciples, as long as they are outstanding in appearance and are favored by the sect leader's lineage, can be given whatever they want. No one can refuse them, nor dare to refuse them.

It can be said that the sect leader's lineage has made clear arrangements for the disciples of the Thirty-Six Caves from birth to death.

Ever since Wu Tian arrived at Skull Mountain, he had known that Man Xiongmu had a master, who was the elder of Qiyun Cave on Skull Mountain.

But this person has been in seclusion, and it's unknown whether he's alive or dead.

In Wu Qinghuan's memory, on the third day after that elder announced his seclusion, Wu Qinghuan used the Hundred Beasts Yin Soul Banner to kill him, directly taking away his Yin Soul and physical body.

"We don't have many years left to live, why bother making things worse?"

Wu Qinghuan came and went with ease, and Man Xiongmu was completely unaware that he had ever appeared.

"There are more than thirty female disciples who serve me and are used for my pleasure. As time goes by, some of them will be sent away, and some will be tortured to death."

"Naturally, some new disciples will also catch his eye..."

Wu Tian was amazed. Wu Qinghuan was a cultivator, and his status in Skull Mountain was second only to one person.

He treated the entire Skull Mountain Thirty-Six Caves branch as his own backyard, using it at will.

In fact, it wasn't just him doing this; the entire lineage of the sect leader was doing the same.

To cultivate the Eighteen Beauties form of the Flying Bamboo, one needs high-quality human skin, many of which is taken from disciples of branch lineages.

"Poor Hong Changlin, he still regarded Li Yun'er as a pure and flawless fairy, thinking that he could win the beauty's heart and live happily ever after with her."

"Little did they know that Li Yun'er had already caught Wu Qinghuan's eye several years ago and taken into his cave. She wasn't even considered a favorite among those thirty-odd women. She was only occasionally entertained with the other women when she felt like it."

"This goddess, who is so high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary disciples, is nothing more than a plaything that this senior brother does not particularly favor."

Aside from these sordid matters, what Wu Qinghuan remembered most were naturally the methods and daily cultivation routines of Skull Mountain.

As Lu Daoqing's eldest disciple, he has almost completely mastered the entire legacy of Skull Mountain.

Regardless of the sect leader's lineage's fourth-grade Dao Embryo Technique, "White Bone Demon God Transformation".

He could freely peruse even the lineages of the Thirty-Six Caves.

Especially after breaking through to the Dao Embryo realm, there were almost no secrets left for him throughout Skull Mountain.

"The most precious thing in the entire Skull Mountain, besides that volume of 'Transformation of the White Bone Demon God,' is that White Bone Demon God."

Wu Tian felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the information in Wu Qinghuan's memories.

The so-called White Bone Demon God was merely a seed of supernatural power when it was in the Dao Embryo stage.

Reaching the primordial spirit realm involves supernatural powers and the Dharma body.

If the physical body is destroyed, the primordial spirit can escape into the White Bone Demon God and be reborn.

Furthermore, the powerful immortals are capable of refining the White Bone Demon God into a Dharma form, transforming the illusory into the real, possessing unparalleled strength.

and so……

"The skeletal demon hovering over Skull Mountain is alive. Why is it alive?"

Wu Tian felt a chill run down his spine, "because it was originally the Dharma form of the founder of the sect. When the founder of the sect suffered a calamity, his primordial spirit escaped into the Dharma form and lived another life."

"It's just that the ancestor was too badly injured back then, and his primordial spirit was in a daze. After merging with the White Bone Demon God, something went wrong, which is why the White Bone Demon God was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep."

"This is no white bone demon god at all, it is clearly a rogue immortal, a rogue immortal who has been seriously injured."

He initially thought that Zhu Yeshuang was unwilling to commit further killings, or that she was wary of the Skull Mountain's protective formation, which was why she hadn't dealt a heavy blow to this unorthodox sect.

Looking back now, it was incredibly naive.

In Wu Qinghuan's memory, Zhu Yeshuang was a true female demon. She once slaughtered a dragon in the East Sea, turning the seawater red with blood, and her sword slew countless demons.

When she first arrived at Skull Mountain to suppress the Fire Aperture, the first thing this female fiend did was to slaughter the entire Skull Mountain sect, intending to wipe out this group of unorthodox practitioners. Zhu Yeshuang, alone with her sword, almost wiped out all thirty-six caves. The second-generation patriarch of the sect perished, and the elders of the sect leader's lineage were almost all killed. Her Qingli sword caused rivers of blood to flow.

Wu Qinghuan had not yet broken through to the Dao Embryo stage at that time. He watched helplessly as many of his senior uncles and elder brothers perished. The woman in red, wielding a celestial sword, nearly leveled the entire mountain gate, and blood rained down for half the day.

He was filled with fear and hid frantically in the Yinfeng Cave, not daring to go out at all.

Later, it was the skeletal demon that had been hovering over Skull Mountain that revived.

Even a severely injured immortal is still an immortal.

The White Bone Demon God roared across the sky, tearing the heavens apart with a single claw.

Zhu Yeshuang was forced into a series of defeats.

That day, the White Bone Demon God used a single claw to pin Zhu Yeshuang down halfway up the mountain.

The cliffs there collapsed, turning into a valley, and the place where Zhu Yeshuang fell has now become a pool of water.

Finally, Lu Daoqing stepped in at the crucial moment, asking the White Bone Demon God to stop and mediating between the two sides to temporarily cease hostilities.

"Indeed, he is a ruthless and ambitious man..."

Wu Tian couldn't help but admire Lu Daoqing, who had no resentment whatsoever despite the deaths of so many people at Skull Mountain, and was instead able to make a rational and even ruthless decision.

If Zhu Yeshuang dies on Skull Mountain, then none of the rest of them, including the White Bone Demon God, will survive.

However, if the hostility continues, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lu Daoqing stopped the White Bone Demon God, and then negotiated with Zhu Yeshuang alone.

No one knows what they actually talked about.

But after that day, Zhu Yeshuang opened up the Hidden Sword Cave halfway up the mountain and never stepped out again.

Lu Daoqing then rightfully assumed the position of sect leader.

More than sixty years have passed since the last time the Bone Demon God awakened...

"Well done, Lu Daoqing. I underestimated him before."

"I was completely wrong before. The reason why Zhu Yeshuang, that female fiend, didn't touch Skull Mountain wasn't because of those ridiculous reasons."

Wu Tian recalled the scene he had witnessed in Wu Qinghuan's memory: Zhu Yeshuang, dressed in red, wielding only a sword, fought so fiercely that blood rained down from the sky, and the entire Skull Mountain was about to be flattened by the sword light.

How unrestrained, how arrogant, how ruthless...

That's the real sword immortal!

Just seeing that scene in his memory made his heart pound, his spine go numb, and his hands tremble slightly.

"My master is the real ruthless one."

Compared to the antics he and Chi Limu caused outside the Skull Mountain gate, it all seemed like children playing house.

"But this can be considered a master-disciple relationship, right..."

Wu Tian couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. Back then, his master stormed the mountain gate and almost wiped out Skull Mountain. Now, his disciple was storming the mountain gate again.

"No wonder Wu Qinghuan remained extremely restrained even when we went too far, and didn't dare to kill us at all."

"It's one thing for the younger elders and disciples, but he personally witnessed how Zhu Yeshuang killed people back then."

Wu Tian shook his head. After absorbing Wu Qinghuan's memories, there were no more secrets in the entire Skull Mountain for him.

Whether it's the legacy of Skull Mountain or Lu Daoqing's plans.

“What lies beneath Skull Mountain is not a pure fire aperture, but a yin-yang earth aperture.”

"The founder of the sect chose this place because of its Yin-Yang geomantic features. He used the power of Yin and Yang to temper the White Bone Demon God, which is why he established the sect here to facilitate his own cultivation."

"But when the ancestor's primordial spirit entered the White Bone Demon God, the primordial spirit could not withstand the erosion of the fire evil, and instead needed the nourishment of yin energy."

"Therefore, for hundreds of years, the White Bone Demon has been entrenched on Skull Mountain, absorbing the Yin energy of the earth's meridians to heal its wounds, causing the Yin energy to gradually thin out."

"The Yin and Yang orifices are inherently connected. As the Yin energy declines, the Yang energy naturally intensifies, which is why there are signs of the earth fire blazing and about to erupt..."

"That's why this female demon, Zhu Yeshuang, was brought here."

Wu Tian carefully examined the various pieces of information in his memory. "Everything has a cause and effect. The founding patriarch of the sect took a liking to the Yin-Yang crust of this place, but unfortunately he died and suffered a calamity. His primordial spirit escaped into the White Bone Demon God and used the Yin Meridian to heal his injuries."

"That's why we have all these problems today..."

"Whether it's the eruption of the subterranean fire, Zhu Yeshuang's southward journey to Skull Mountain, or the great calamity at Skull Mountain back then, all of this is related to the White Bone Demon God."

"In such a major matter involving loose immortals, only primordial spirit cultivators can get involved; Wu Qinghuan is just a pawn."

He also saw in his memory the cause and effect of the disaster caused by the White Ape Demon King at the foot of the mountain. At that time, he couldn't understand why Skull Mountain would do such a stupid thing.

But now he realizes that even if all the ordinary people down the mountain died, it wouldn't mean anything to Lu Daoqing.

Even if the entire Skull Mountain lineage were wiped out, as long as his own life was unharmed, he could ignore it.

This man truly severed all emotions and desires, devoting himself entirely to the Tao; he was a true hero.

"Back then, Lu Daoqing captured the son of the White Ape Demon King, using the lives of the people at the foot of the mountain as bait, intending to force Zhu Yeshuang down the mountain, use the White Bone Demon God to seal the mountain gate, and drive away this female demon."

"But Zhu Yeshuang had Chi Limu carry his sword down the mountain, and in the blink of an eye, he killed the demon king, thwarting Lu Daoqing's plan."

"However, Lu Daoqing and Wu Qinghuan said that if Zhu Yeshuang insists on not leaving, then wait until the earth fire is suppressed to the extreme and is about to be extinguished. At that time, the turmoil in the earth's aperture will also reach its peak."

"At that time, he used the White Bone Demon God to control the Yin Meridian and directly crash into the Fire Meridian, causing the Yin and Yang to collide and turning a thousand miles of land into a desolate area. He used the energy of life and death to nurture the White Bone Demon God and completely heal its injuries."

"Then he can take the White Bone Demon God and head far away to the Northwest..."

Wu Tian's eyes flickered: "This old guy is too cautious, and he's also ruthless. It's still unknown how much of what he said is true and how much is false."

"Why not test the waters..."

He had an idea: he planned to enter the memory instance and persuade Lu Daoqing to launch an attack in advance, so that the White Bone Demon God would make a move and the Yin and Yang earth veins would collide.

Let's see how things develop.

"Knowing the past, why worry about not being able to predict the future?"

Upon realizing this, Wu Tian activated the incantation from Wu Qinghuan's memory.

Ding! System notification: Activating the past years of a Dao Embryo cultivator requires ten years of mana and can be retained for ten days. Do you wish to activate?
Wu Tian felt a pang of pain. His current maximum magical power was only about sixty years. He had spent ten years extracting Wu Qinghuan's aura, and now he would have to spend another ten years.

A full third of my mana has been depleted, and I don't know how long it will take to replenish it.

"Turn it on!"
