Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 130 I am the Sect Leader, and I have no choice but to fight (Please subscribe)

Wu Tian was truly stunned this time, and asked incredulously, "The position of sect leader? Me?"

"But...I am a demon!"

Taoist Tiandu laughed and said, "But you are also a disciple of my Taiqing sect. If you are willing to dedicate yourself to the Taiqing lineage, with your innate auspicious qualities, how could you not become the sect leader?"

Wu Tian couldn't describe his feelings at that moment; he felt a thousand words were on his mind, and his emotions were incredibly complex.

Before he could reply, Daoist Tiandu continued, "Back then, when you cultivated the Three Hundred and Sixty Heavenly Star Aperture Diagram, you were able to lock the root of your life. This was originally a restraint for foreign demon races within the sect."

"You are born with good fortune, and should not be bound by such shackles."

"I specifically called you two, master and disciple, here today to discuss this matter."

“Zhu girl had never been in contact with the demons in the sect before, and did not know the passes of the Three Hundred and Sixty Heavenly Star Aperture Diagram.”

"You shouldn't hold any grudges in your heart."

"Today I will break your shackles, and whichever path you choose, you will be free."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of clear light fell on Wu Tian's head.

Before he could react, he heard the old Taoist priest say, "Hmm? Interesting."

Wu Tian was startled, realizing that the old Taoist priest had probably seen that he was not bound by the Three Hundred and Sixty Celestial Mountain Map.

"Indeed, he is born with auspicious signs and enjoys long-lasting good fortune. He is not bound by any shackles, which saves him some trouble."

The old Taoist priest spoke in a very frank tone, and the matter was thus naturally put aside without further inquiry.

Wu Tian remained silent for a long time. The first Taiqing Auspicious Path seemed peaceful and natural, allowing one to enjoy everything, but one could not leave Xuantian Peak and was confined to the mountain for a full 70,000 years. This was practically like being imprisoned.

He will certainly not choose this path.

The second path of protecting the Taiqing Dharma involves diminishing one's own auspicious energy to protect Taiqing, in exchange for obtaining all the laws of Taiqing. This is considered a fair trade, and it also allows one to return to the Southern Frontier in the future.

With the system panel at his disposal and the various laws of Taiqing, he will surely be able to forge a path to heaven in the future.

The third path to becoming the leader of the Taiqing Sect is completely different. From then on, one's fate is intertwined with the rise and fall of the Taiqing Sect.

This is what it truly means to become one of us; even the identity of a demon race doesn't matter anymore.

It must be said, this old Taoist priest has great courage.

If word got out that a dog of demon origin had become the leader of the Taiqing Sect, people would probably laugh their heads off.

But since he made that promise, Wu Tian believed he could keep it.

This is an instinctive feeling...

"So, should we take the path of the Taiqing Protector or the path of the Taiqing Sect Leader?"

Wu Tian hesitated. The path of the Taiqing Protector was more carefree, and he could create a new world for himself in the future.

The leader of the Taiqing Sect possesses the resources of a major sect. Just by looking at this old Taoist priest, one can tell that this world is far more complex than one could imagine.

Especially after hearing Zhu Yeshuang mention those immortals, Buddhas, and saints on the road, and even mention the words "Heavenly Court".

He then understood that there is a heaven above heavens, and gods above heavens.

Bai Qian was vague at the time, only saying that it was a great blessing for her to be able to enter Taiqing Temple.

With her vision and knowledge, shouldn't this opportunity be in the Heavenly Court?

Wu Tian had no doubt that there must be a Grandmaster of the Supreme Purity in the Heavenly Court.

The Taoist Master Tiandu did not urge him, letting him make his own choice.

Zhu Yeshuang, standing to the side, looked rather unwell; she truly did not know about the 360-Zhou Tian Xing Qiao Diagram.

Although I sometimes scolded the dog, I had no intention of harming it.

After all, it was because Bai Long'er foresaw the calamity at Skull Mountain in advance that she was able to contact the sect, make predictions and take countermeasures, and thus completely take control of the situation.

Given this cause and effect, with Zhu Yeshuang's pride, if she says she's taking on a disciple, she really means it; she would never stoop to using such life-threatening methods.

Even when she wanted Bai Long'er to protect Chi Li Mu, she spoke directly and didn't hide anything.

But I never expected that the sect would do such a thing.

Daoist Tiandu naturally noticed Zhu Yeshuang's suppressed anger, but he neither offered an explanation nor offered any comfort.

Taiqing Temple has its own rules. Not all demons are born auspicious, nor are all demons worthy of Taiqing's cultivation.

Most of those demons are wild and untamed; if they are not shackled, they will surely turn against their masters.

Throughout history, this has happened countless times with various powerful forces.

The rules of Taiqing cannot be abolished, and even Zhu Yeshuang cannot change them.

However, Zhu Yeshuang's anger at this moment is not necessarily a bad thing. This girl is straightforward and unruly at heart. Exposing this matter is a good thing for both of them, master and disciple, as it can eliminate some potential problems.

To ensure that auspicious omens are bestowed upon you, there are some things that must be planned in advance.

There are some things that cannot be ignored.

After pondering for a long time, Wu Tian asked a question: "Master, what are the advantages and disadvantages of being connected with the Taiqing Qi?"

He spoke very frankly, looking directly at the old Taoist priest.

Daoist Tiandu did not hide anything and said frankly: "The so-called connection of fate is to use supernatural powers involving many principles such as cause and effect, fate, destiny, etc. to link your fate with that of the Taiqing Dao lineage."

“Every success is a blessing, a loss is a loss.”

"The benefits are naturally that you will be blessed with the Taiqing Qi, protected by the ancestral master, and have your Dao lineage inherited. From now on, you will be a true disciple of Taiqing."

"The drawback is also simple: if the Taiqing's fortune is damaged, we will inevitably suffer calamities, whether they are natural disasters or man-made calamities. Under the influence of cause and effect, it is difficult to escape."

"Therefore, we must all protect the Taiqing Dao lineage."

Wu Tian mustered his courage and asked another question: "Ancestor, what if the Taiqing Dao lineage is gone?"

The Heavenly Capital Taoist couldn't help but burst into laughter: "As long as we great beings live, the Taiqing Dao lineage will never perish."

"Even if all our disciples die, our sect is destroyed, and our lineage is severed, we will only be trapped on our path and unable to advance our cultivation."

"But as long as we live, there will eventually be a day when the Dao lineage can be rebuilt."

Wu Tian finally understood the reason behind this. Clearly, different lineages represented different factions.

Being connected by fate is the threshold for becoming a core figure in the Dao lineage.

And it's not like you can just get in whenever you want.

He slowly closed his eyes, using his instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, his innate sense of auspiciousness, and his understanding of time to carefully perceive his future destiny.

Even the third eye on his forehead opened a crack.

The Taoist priest looked at his brow and eyes with a deep gaze.

With the all-seeing eye, one can know the past and the future.

Ding! System notification: You have touched a tributary of fate and time. You can consume mana to glimpse the fog of the future.

In the future, Taiqing will be blessed with good fortune and long-lasting prosperity. Thirteen hundred years later, Taiqing will suffer a calamity and perish at Xuantian Peak.

In the future, the Supreme Protector, unparalleled in battle, will be separated from the mortals 1,300 years later. He will sweep across the world, invincible in all realms. After setting foot in the Heavenly Court, he will be besieged and killed by the gods, and his whereabouts will be unknown.

In the future, the Taiqing Sect Leader will lead the Great Dao to Heaven. After 1,300 years, he will relinquish his position as sect leader, establish a sect on the Immortal Island in the East Sea, and become known as the Ancestor of the Tongtian Sect. He will be a branch of the Taiqing Sect and ascend to the Heavenly Court, where he will become the Heavenly Emperor.

The sudden change in the system panel was completely unexpected. With his all-seeing eye, he could know the past and the future, and the choice he made at this moment would affect his future fate.

It actually allowed him to glimpse a corner of the future, knowing the trajectory of the three choices 1300 years from now. "The three options displayed on the system panel are all 1300 years from now; this time point must be extremely crucial."

"When the Great Purity suffered a calamity, it was invincible in the world, and established a religion in the East Sea."

"interesting……"

"However, the information in the last option, which mentions the words 'Heavenly Emperor,' is fragmented and incomplete, and we don't know what its purpose is."

He now fully understood the path of the three options.

If you choose the first option and stay on Suspended Peak, you will be reduced to ashes when the great calamity arrives. No amount of auspicious omens will help.

Choosing the second option makes you invincible, but once you reach the Heavenly Court, those old fogies will come after you to settle scores.

Choosing the third path but ultimately forging his own path must have been due to countless entanglements and struggles of cause and effect; otherwise, he could not have left.

In any case, the Heavenly Court was an obstacle he couldn't get around.

With your own system panel, the most important thing isn't to fight against everything and everyone, but to survive and develop your character.

Like that monkey, if you're not strong enough, you'll just be trapped under the Five Finger Mountain.

If he had been strong enough, he might have been able to seize the throne of the Heavenly Emperor after causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

The throne of the Heavenly Emperor rotates; next year it will be my turn.

Since there is a Heavenly Court, there must also be a Heavenly Emperor, right?
As a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, I have established myself in the Heavenly Court by leveraging the influence of the Taiqing lineage. Perhaps one day, I can test how tough the Heavenly Emperor's head is.

Thinking of this, Wu Tian slowly opened his eyes, closed his third eye between his brows, and respectfully bowed to the old Taoist priest in front of him, saying, "Master, I am willing to enter the Taoist sect."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist Master Tiandu couldn't help but smile and clap his hands in praise: "Excellent."

"In that case, you are my Taiqing Dao Seed."

"Simply plant the Golden Lotus of Fortune, and you can enter my Daoist lineage."

"Disciple thanks the Ancestor for granting my request." Wu Tian bowed respectfully again.

The Taoist priest of Tiandu cast a clear light, prompting him to rise. He then slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and gazed at the distant sea of ​​clouds.

"Now that Buddhism and Taoism have joined forces to fight against the demonic forces in the Northwest, a great calamity is about to begin."

"I have foreseen that if chaos breaks out in the Northwest, war will surely follow in the South."

"Once Kong Lingxuan, the Great Sage of the Undying Palace in the Southern Frontier, ascends to heaven, the demon race of the Southern Frontier and the Fire God Palace will engage in a bloody battle."

"The Fire God Palace has managed the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang for countless years. After Kong Lingxuan leaves, the demon race's geographical advantage will be completely lost, and they will eventually suffer a calamity."

"I want you to take the inheritance of the Undying Palace at a crucial moment, and then establish a new lineage in the East Sea to settle the karma of the demon race."

"Once everything is settled and you have mastered supernatural powers, you can travel to the northwest."

He turned to Zhu Yeshuang and said, "Bai Long'er, your master's cultivation has reached a critical moment. He will inevitably have to choose a blessed place to establish a training ground."

"The Northwest is where she attains enlightenment. At that time, she will be surrounded by wolves and calamities will be rampant. She will need your protection."

"When you have made great contributions in the Northwest calamity and returned to the sect with your illustrious achievements, it will be rightful for you to assume the position of sect leader."

The Taoist Tiandu said earnestly, "First settle the karma with the demons of the Southern Frontier, then go to the East Sea to establish a lineage for the demons, and finally go to the Northwest battlefield."

"The order of events here is extremely important."

"With your current cultivation level, entering the Northwest battlefield would only be a waste of your luck, which is extremely unwise."

I hope you can understand my good intentions.

Wu Tian nodded solemnly: "This disciple understands. First, we will enter the Southern Frontier, then go to the East Sea, pacify the Northwest, and then return to the Central Plains to assume the position of sect leader."

"Haha, that's right, this child is teachable." The Taoist of Tiandu stroked his beard and laughed.

His plan to separate the divine from the human is now beginning to take shape.

After he leaves, Taiqing Temple will surely suffer a calamity.

Only when auspicious omens arise from heaven, and sages descend from the heavens, can a great calamity be averted and a catastrophic event be saved.

This is also why he made an exception and allowed a dog to become the head of the Taiqing Temple.

Now that this dog has chosen this path, Kong Lingxuan's schemes will ultimately become nothing but a pipe dream.

The Crown Prince of the Undying Palace is nowhere near as good as the Sect Leader of Taiqing.

Zhu Yeshuang's expression turned cold at this moment. "My path will naturally be forged through battles and struggles with the sword in my hand. Why should my disciple risk his life for me?"

"Rest assured, Master, I will definitely go to the Northwest battlefield."

"I'm just about to use a forbidden area to achieve enlightenment."

The Heavenly Capital Daoist smiled without saying a word. The Northwest Calamity was not as simple as ordinary cultivators imagined. To completely eradicate the Demon God Dao, which had been entrenched in the Northwest for countless years, an unimaginable price would have to be paid.

He would never have started a massacre unless he was forced to.

However, beneath the current prosperity of the Central Plains, numerous hidden dangers have already emerged.

The number of Buddhist and Taoist cultivators and immortals is increasing, but those who become wandering immortals must compete for famous mountains and blessed lands to establish their own temples.

Ordinary independent cultivators were naturally squeezed out of their place and had no choice but to travel overseas to find immortal islands.

However, in the Central Plains, those who cultivate into wandering immortals are mostly Taoist and Buddhist cultivators.

The secret conflict between these two families is growing deeper and deeper and is irreconcilable. The more sacred mountains and blessed lands a family occupies, the more temples their disciples will have after they attain enlightenment.

Who would want their disciple to be able to cultivate into a wandering immortal, only to die of old age because they have no place to cultivate?

This is a struggle for enlightenment and a life-or-death struggle between Buddhist and Taoist practitioners.

Even the most advanced cultivators couldn't suppress it. This was an inevitable conflict that arose after countless Buddhist and Taoist cultivators advanced in their cultivation, and it was simply impossible to reconcile.

The struggle between Buddhism and Taoism in China had reached a fever pitch, with the conflict being extremely brutal and bloodshed occurring frequently in the fight for control of famous mountains and rivers.

Even the Taiqing Temple felt immense pressure.

It was under this trend that the leaders of both Buddhism and Taoism decided to quell the Northwest Demon God Sect and expand their territory in order to alleviate internal strife.

The reason for not choosing southern Xinjiang...

Ah, Kong Lingxuan had already given the answer that day.

If Buddhism and Taoism dare to set their sights on the Southern Frontier, he is willing to go all out and wreak havoc on the region, ensuring that no one benefits.

This is also why Avalokiteshvara was so forceful that day.

Kong Lingxuan caused such a huge commotion, was it all just for a natural auspicious omen before he attained enlightenment?
Ordinary demon saints don't understand, nor do ordinary wandering immortals.

Only by standing in his current position can one understand that Kong Lingxuan truly risked his life back then.

If the negotiations fail, the world will collapse and the southern border will be engulfed in flames, with all living things reduced to ashes.

This is something we have no choice but to fight for!
Although the Northwest Demon God Sect is troublesome, it does not have a great sage like Kong Lingxuan, nor does it have the means to destroy the world.

We have no choice but to target them.

"Grow up quickly!"

The Taoist priest looked at Wu Tian. The Taoist sect was promoting the separation of heaven and man in the Heavenly Court, and a great calamity was about to befall the Northwest in the mortal realm.

The Taiqing Temple desperately needs a demon to step into the limelight.
