Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 127 Bestowing a Divine Position, Fire God (Please Subscribe)
When the five-colored rays of light shot into the sky from the Undying Palace in the south, almost every living being in the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Frontier could feel the fury that seemed to burn everything.

The Great Sage of the Demon Clan was enraged, causing the heavens and earth to change color and all living beings to wail in despair.

The earth veins of the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang roared, and 100,000 volcanoes that had been dormant for countless years seemed to awaken at the same time. Thick black smoke columns mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur shot straight into the sky, dyeing the sky a dark red of despair.

"Ha, Taiqing Temple really doesn't take me, Kong Lingxuan, seriously at all!"

Kong Lingxuan's voice became incredibly calm at this moment. He slowly stepped out of the Undying Palace, without glancing at Su Qinghe beside him, and ignoring Zhu Yeshuang and Li Guan.

He gazed at the northern sky and said in a somber tone, "Come out, or you know what will happen."

As his words fell, an aged sigh echoed in the sky, and an immortal rode in on a blue ox. "Fellow Daoist Kong, why must it come to this? Why must it come to this!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Lingxuan's originally handsome face instantly turned blood red, his anger so intense it seemed to shake ten thousand mountains.

"You won't even let the Undying Palace, which shelters the demon race and lives in seclusion in a corner of the world, go around taking advantage of it?"

"This child is a natural auspicious sign; don't you know what he represents?"

"This is the manifestation of my demon race's destiny, bestowed upon me by heaven and earth."

"What is your purpose in taking him away?"

"Do you want to sever the ten-thousand-year-old fortune of my demon race, or do you want to exterminate us along with the Northwest Demon God Sect?"

"If that's the case, then let's break this land of southern Xinjiang right now and unleash a hundred thousand volcanoes."

"I'd like to see if you can kill me."

As he spoke, the fiery aura of the 100,000 mountains surged up, completely enveloping the entire southern border, and the sky turned blood red.

At this moment, another celestial light manifested, transforming into a woman draped in a white gauze robe, sitting serenely on a golden lotus.

"Kong Lingxuan, you must know that this kind of method can only be used once and not again."

"If you really push me too far, I'll shatter the Southern Frontier and start anew."

Upon hearing this, Kong Lingxuan laughed in anger, "Do you think I'm threatening you? Then there's nothing more to say, let's start the war!"

Without a word, he attacked, causing the entire southern border to tremble violently. Deep, bottomless cracks spread out, and crimson magma gushed out of the earth's wounds like blood.

In just a few breaths, countless demons and monsters perished, and the number of dead and injured among the humans throughout the southern border region exceeded one million.

"This is insane, absolutely insane."

A disheveled, barefoot immortal angrily rebuked, "Guanyin, Kong Lingxuan has gone mad, are you going mad with him too?"

"Shatter the Southern Frontier and recreate the world, you say it so easily, so simply."

"Who will bear the weight of this immense karma, this colossal sin?"

"Are you observing the self-existence of all beings?"

The woman in white gauze, who was sitting cross-legged on a golden lotus, narrowed her eyes to slits, held up a jade bottle with both hands, and slowly stood up from the golden lotus.

"Then kill him first..."

"What a murderous aura the layman Guanzizai has! Hahaha!" At this moment, a deity descended from the sky, manifesting a body that reached the heavens and the earth, with red dragons encircling his two arms, driving a chariot, traversing the void.

"However, I think he's right."

"Kong Lingxuan is too arrogant. Does he really think we can't kill him?"

"If he wants war, then let's start war."

"We shall bear the sins of the Southern Frontier together. Killing him may bring temporary pain, but it will pave the way for lasting peace for future generations."

……

Several powerful immortals, Buddhas, and saints descended simultaneously, and the matter had long since exceeded the scope of Zhu Yeshuang and Li Guan's ability to intervene.

Su Qinghe had arrived beside them at some point, and looking at the figures in the sky, he couldn't help but marvel.

"The Heavenly Capital Patriarch, the Kunlun Taoist, the Buddhist Guanyin, the Heavenly Court's Martial Virtue Star Lord..."

"Good heavens, so many powerful figures, is this really going to be a war?"

He glanced at the white dog still sleeping soundly in Zhu Yeshuang's arms, and shook his head with a wry smile: "This little guy is sleeping so peacefully, little does he know that he has caused such a huge trouble."

Su Qinghe, Zhu Yeshuang, and Li Guanshui did not look down at all; they were all focused on the immortals, Buddhas, and saints in the sky.

Only the Chi Limu in Zhu Yeshuang's arms could see that the intense heat distorted the air, mountains were collapsing, rivers were evaporating, and forests were turning into a sea of ​​fire.

Countless creatures inhabiting the southern border, whether unintelligent wild beasts or spirits that had already cultivated into minor demons, let out desperate howls at this moment, trembling in the face of the heavenly calamity, or turning into ashes.

Ten thousand volcanoes erupted, the earth cracked open—what a devastating scene! The entire southern border seemed on the verge of utter destruction.

The golden ring above Kong Lingxuan's head exploded, and his handsome face turned cold. "Dapeng, Qingluan, take the demon kings away from the Undying Palace, leave the Southern Frontier, and head to the Northwest."

"What the future holds depends on your own destiny."

A golden rainbow descended from the sky and landed beside Kong Lingxuan. It was a man with long, golden hair, a hooked nose, and two golden wings extending from his back. His brow was furrowed: "Brother, is it worth it for a mythical beast?"

On the other side, a divine blue phoenix slowly descended amidst auspicious light. It did not transform into human form, but its entire body was filled with a sacred aura. "Palace Master, you should think this through!"

Kong Lingxuan said decisively, "If we take one step back, we can take ten steps back, or even a hundred steps back. We've already retreated to the southern border; where else can we retreat to?"

"This time, there is no room for compromise."

"If you dare to sever the destiny of my demon race, then let's start a war."

At this moment, five-colored rays of light spread behind him, the Ten Thousand Mountains erupted, and countless cries echoed across the southern border.

"Are these the immortals, Buddhas, and saints?"

Chi Limu's pretty face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. After all, she was still too young, and the scene before her was too much of a shock to her.

When the Great Sage of the Demon Clan is enraged, he will cause countless lives to perish and the world to grieve.

The immortals and Buddhas are high above, looking down on all living beings, yet they remain unmoved.

Her heart sank, and her whole body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.

"enough!"

The white-haired old man riding the ox finally spoke, "Kong Lingxuan, let's talk. I can guarantee your safety."

Kong Lingxuan frowned and said, "Things have come to this point, what's there to talk about? Either hand over the auspicious omen, or we'll go to war."

"Hahaha, Brother Kong is right. What's the point of talking to this old Taoist priest? They have the numbers and the power. Then my Northwest Demonic Sect will lend you a hand."

In the northwest direction, ten divine lights soared into the sky, manifesting a throne. The divine lights stretched out as if to evolve into a celestial realm.

The old man riding an ox, known as Tiandu, spoke up: "The position of the Fire Virtue Star Lord."

Kong Lingxuan was stunned upon hearing this.

The expression of Wu De Xing Jun, who was standing next to Tian Du Dao Ren, changed drastically in an instant. He reacted strongly and rebuked, "Tian Du, this is absolutely unacceptable."

Riding on the back of an ox, the Taoist priest Tiandu looked at Guanzizai and asked, "Guanzizai, what do you think?"

Just moments ago, Guan Zizai was shouting and threatening, his ferocity overwhelming. But now, he agreed decisively: "Yes!" "Very well, very well indeed. You can't afford to offend Kong Lingxuan, so you're using my brother's position to curry favor with this old demon?" Wu De Xingjun roared in fury, gripping his golden halberd tightly, his chariot rumbling beneath him.

“Martial Virtue Star Lord, be careful with your words.” Kunlun Daoist also spoke up. His long black hair was loose, and he walked barefoot in the air, yet he possessed a Daoist charm, and was majestic and solemn.

"The Fire God has been dead for many years. The position of the God of the Stars was originally created by the Heavenly Court. Your brother only obtained it by chance. It is a pity that his fortune was shallow and his virtue was not worthy of his position, which is why he suffered a calamity."

"Now that all sides are fighting endlessly for the position of Fire God, it would not be a bad thing if this divine position could avert a disaster."

Upon hearing this, Wu De Xing Jun flew into a rage, and the two red dragons wrapped around his arms roared, "Bullshit! You are being generous with other people's money, giving the divine position of my Fire God Palace to this old demon!"

"You're just dreaming."

"If Kong Lingxuan can kill, why can't I?"

"If you push me too far, I'll make this land sink..."

Guan Zizai's eyebrows furrowed, and her voice was firm and resolute, "Wu De, you try..."

At the same time, the Taoist of Tiandu, the Taoist of Kunlun, and Guanyin stood in different directions and surrounded the Martial Virtue Star Lord.

The Martial Virtue Star Lord's face turned ashen. "Very well, very well indeed!"

"Turning your back on me?"

"Or is today's situation a setup specifically designed for me?"

He never expected that the deadly trap originally intended for Kong Lingxuan would suddenly become his own.

This scene looked as if they were working together to set a trap, trying to lure him in.

The Taoist Master Tiandu did not answer his question. Whether it was a setup against him or not, it was no longer important.

He didn't want to drive a star lord to complete madness, so he spoke up to soothe him, saying, "Martial Virtue Star Lord, why be so impatient?"

"Although I have promised the position of Fire Virtue Star Lord, it is not without conditions."

He looked at Kong Lingxuan and said, "If you obtain this divine position, you shall not descend to the mortal realm to interfere with worldly affairs from now on."

“That’s absolutely impossible!” Kong Lingxuan refused decisively.

If he abandons the mortal realm, wouldn't that mean the Phoenix Clan and the Demon Clan would all become prey for the Buddhist and Taoist sects?

The fortune of a clan is extraordinary. If he were not the master of the Undying Palace, how could he have made such rapid progress in cultivation and caught up with those ancient beings in such a short time?

The Heavenly Capital Taoist said calmly, "It's not just you. I am currently promoting the separation of heaven and man. Once it is accomplished, no immortal, Buddha, or deity will be allowed to descend to the mortal realm at will."

"Does this mean the demon race will be wiped out without you?"

"What the future holds depends on the fate of the younger generation!"

After saying this, he said to Wu De Xing Jun without any hesitation, "If your Huo De Palace can reclaim the ancestral land of the Southern Frontier after Fellow Daoist Kong ascends to heaven, my Daoist sect will not stand in your way."

"The same applies to Buddhism." Guanzizai lowered his head and became meek at this moment.

Kong Xuan hesitated for a long time. If he left, the Fire God Palace would definitely launch a large-scale attack on the Southern Frontier. In addition, the Buddhist and Taoist sects were powerful and would inevitably oppress the living space of all the demon races.

At that time, the survival of all demon races in the world will become even more difficult.

But this is a blatant, overt scheme...

He was no match for these people to begin with, and suffered a great loss back then. Although he killed the Fire Star Lord and seized the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Frontier, he was forced to sit in the Undying Palace and dared not go out at will.

If he could obtain the position of Fire Star Lord, with his own cultivation and foundation, plus the divine position, not only would his strength increase dramatically, but he would also be able to accelerate his cultivation progress, protect his clan, and reap countless benefits.

It can be said that as long as he does not perish, the Phoenix Clan will never be wiped out.

Of course, it only refers to the phoenix, not the entire demon race.

In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Kong Lingxuan's mind. Now, the Buddhist and Taoist sects were about to join forces to quell the Northwest Demonic Sect.

At this time, the Taoist sect offered him the position of Fire Star Lord and sent him to the Heavenly Court.

Then, using the Ten Thousand Mountains in Southern Xinjiang as bait, they induced the Fire God Palace to launch an attack on the Ten Thousand Mountains.

In this way, the Southern Fire God Palace and the demon race of the Ten Thousand Mountains will be mired in a quagmire of war, and it will be difficult for them to extricate themselves for a while.

The Buddhist and Taoist sects can then easily join forces to attack the demonic path.

There's no need to worry about someone else stealing the fruits of victory while the battle is raging.

Such a combination of attack and defense achieves multiple goals at once; the Heavenly Capital Taoist is indeed a master of skill, worthy of being the head of the Taiqing Temple.

Even though Kong Lingxuan knew the other party's scheme, he had to admit that he was tempted. Otherwise, could he really continue fighting?

His thoughts raced, and everyone around him turned their attention to him.

Even the ten members of the Northwest Demon God Sect focused their attention on him.

"Fellow Daoist Kong, Buddhism and Taoism are not to be trusted. They want to free up their resources to destroy my Northwest Demon God Sect first."

"Once the Northwest is pacified and Buddhism and Taoism flourish, will there still be a place for your demon race in the world?"

"Even the dragon and phoenix clans can become someone else's meal."

One of the Demon Lords of the Demon God Path spoke, his voice calm yet containing unimaginable determination and power, seemingly capable of suppressing and pacifying everything.

After pondering for a long time, Kong Lingxuan finally spoke, looking towards the northwest, "Fellow Daoists, I'm afraid I'll have to go to heaven."

He showed no joy as he spoke, even though he had indeed obtained the position of Fire Star Lord, which many powerful figures had been vying for.

Ultimately, from beginning to end, he was part of someone else's scheme, manipulated like a pawn.

However, he would never get involved with the Northwest Demon God Sect, for no one knew the terrifying depths of Buddhism and Taoism better than him.

Although the Northwest Demon God Sect is powerful, it is far from enough to contend with both Buddhism and Taoism.

The pacification of the Northwest is now a foregone conclusion.

It all depends on how much the Taoist and Buddhist sects are willing to pay.

If the demon race gets involved, they will only be crushed into dust in this brutal war.

If he ascends to the Heavenly Court, although the demon race in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang will face a much more difficult situation, they will still be able to hold onto Southern Xinjiang for a short period of time. If another prodigy emerges, perhaps there will still be a time of prosperity.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and said, "Tiandu, it's simple for me to agree to this. I have one request."

The Taoist of Heavenly Capital said in a calm tone, "Great Sage, please speak frankly."

Every word the old Taoist priest spoke was meaningful, and each change in how he addressed Kong Lingxuan represented a different attitude.

The title "Great Sage" carries not just respect, but a heavy burden of pressure.

If Kong Lingxuan doesn't know what's good for him, the old Taoist priest might really have to take action.

If you're not convinced, then we'll beat you until you are.

The incident that Kong Lingxuan suffered could very well happen again.
