Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 137 Heavenly Capital in Seclusion, Azure Ox Demon Saint (Please Subscribe)
It took Wu Tian a long time to suppress his anger and murderous intent. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't change the enemy's mind. The most important thing now was how to deal with the situation ahead.

"Chu Yong is indeed shrewd; he seized the key point as soon as he made his move."

"In the southern border region, almost everyone connected to me has been captured by him."

"They also used Buddhism as a pretext to force Bai Qian to accept the challenge, claiming it was to settle karmic debts."

"Bai Qian is not a member of Taiqing Temple after all. That old bald monk used the death of his disciple as an excuse, which was perfectly legitimate. The sect could not refuse him, and Bai Qian was even more unwilling to drag me down with her."

"From beginning to end, Chu Yong's target was Bai Qian, not me."

He knew very well that if he were to reveal his ability to know the past and future and get the Heavenly Capital Taoist to take action, he might be able to save Bai Qian and her teachers and relatives in the Southern Border from this calamity.

But the Heavenly Capital Taoist would never kill a fellow disciple for his sake; that would be utterly insane.

If Chu Yong fails to achieve his goal, he will inevitably have a second and a third scheme.

There's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. The slightest negligence will immediately cause you pain.

and so……

"He must be killed to prevent future troubles."

Wu Tian's head was incredibly ferocious, his tail dragged on the ground, and his fur stood on end, resembling a wolf walking upright, exuding a fierce aura.

"Even Bai Qian couldn't kill a rogue immortal from Taiqing Temple, let alone one who was close to the upper realm. She was even suppressed by that old guy."

How do we kill him?

The Heavenly Capital Taoist is absolutely not a viable option. The other party could protect him, but would never kill a rogue immortal within the sect for his sake. This is the fundamental principle of the Taiqing Temple.

If it were truly for a dog, someone would fight to the death with a rogue immortal within the sect, and everyone in the sect would be in danger, and who would dare to rely on the sect?

Even if someone is born with an auspicious destiny, it won't work unless they violate a taboo within the sect that necessitates their execution.

"Chu Yong entered Buddhism..."

"This is the only flaw he has shown."

"This person colluded with Buddhism and joined the Buddhist sect. Even if Buddhism and Taoism joined forces to attack the Northwest, this was still a slap in the face for Taiqing Temple. It is impossible to turn a blind eye to this, and there will definitely be a reckoning."

"But this person only joined Buddhism after the Buddhist sect helped him obtain Bai Qian's blood and inner core. He's the kind of person who won't act until he sees the benefit."

"If Bai Qian hadn't died, would he still have joined the Buddhist order?"

Wu Tian thought it over and over, but all he could do was feel troubled. The other party's identity, status, and strength were like a mountain pressing down on him, something he couldn't possibly shake at the moment.

Even if the Heavenly Capital Taoist wanted to take action against such a giant, he would have to think it over and over again and be extremely cautious.

This is not a primordial spirit or a newly promoted rogue immortal, but a giant of the immortal path who has reached the pinnacle of rogue immortal cultivation and is expected to advance to the next realm.

"There aren't many who can defeat this old guy, let alone kill him."

"Besides the Taoist Master Tiandu, who else could it be?"

"That Great Sage from the Undying Palace?"

Wu Tian knew that the other party had given him the title of Crown Prince of the Undying Palace. Although he didn't know the purpose, if he asked the other party to help him fight the loose immortal of Taiqing Temple, would that Great Sage do it?
Or is it really worth it for the other party to risk offending Taiqing Temple and pay such a high price?
"It's still a matter of insufficient strength on our part!"

"Otherwise, swallowing that old guy whole would be truly frustrating."

So what if he was born with auspicious omens? The old man didn't kill him; he killed several unorthodox sects in the Southern Frontier and Bai Qian, the demon king of the Southern Frontier.

Even though he was filled with rage, his own strength was insufficient. He wanted to borrow strength, but he could only protect the other party and could not eliminate him.

Wu Tian thought long and hard but couldn't come up with a good solution. However, he was determined not to let Chu Yong go so easily. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when the other party would reveal his true colors.

We must seize this opportunity to kill him! We absolutely must kill him!
If we don't kill him, we're not even worthy of being called dogs.

He thought for a long time and finally remembered a certain being. Then, instead of returning to his cave, he went directly to the Cloud Sea Cliff.

Upon reaching the Cloud Sea Cliff and paying respects to the Heavenly Capital Ancestor, he turned his gaze to the blue ox beside him.

"Junior Bai Long'er greets Senior."

"I have a favor to ask of you, senior. Is that alright?"

His words not only brought the leisurely old ox back to its senses, but also drew the attention of the Heavenly Capital Taoist.

"Haha, you lazy ox, the little guy has come to you for help, what do you say?"

The Taoist of Heavenly Capital spoke with a smile.

After a moment of silence, the old ox asked, "What is it? Since you are in the sect, no one can harm you in the slightest. What brings you here to ask me for help?"

Wu Tian did not hide anything from Tian Du and said directly, "I used a secret method to find out that Chu Yong went to the Southern Frontier to capture my master and colluded with the Buddhist sect to force my wife into a battle by using the cause and effect of the death of Master Tianmeng's disciple."

"If things go well, he will become a disciple of Venerable Baoguang and enter the Buddhist order."

"Oh?" Old Niu looked at Tian Du with his huge bull eyes. "Old man, you didn't know about this?"

The Taoist of Tiandu sighed, "Although I cannot know everything in the past, it does concern the wandering immortals of my sect, so how could I be completely unaware?"

"I know a little about this matter, but whether he will become a Buddhist is still uncertain."

“If I make a move, he will inevitably become a member of the Buddhist sect.”

"This concerns the wandering immortals of our sect. Before the event has even occurred, I cannot simply rely on divination to determine life and death. How can that convince the masses?"

"I cannot fully comprehend the matter of Chu Yong threatening others with their lives; I know a little about his collusion with Buddhism, but I am unaware of the karmic consequences of Tianmeng."

"The future is ever-changing; who dares to predict it all?"

"I only caught a glimpse of him in the surging river and knew that he might become a Buddhist."

"The rest..."

Taoist Tiandu shook his head and said no more.

By this time, he understood why this guy hadn't come looking for him, but had gone straight to this lazy ox.

The blue ox understood, and looked at Wu Tian with great interest, asking, "Little guy, what do you plan to do?"

Wu Tian said bluntly, "Kill him!"

Old Niu couldn't help but burst into laughter. His deep, resonant voice echoed like thunder through the cliffs, seemingly shaking the vast sea of ​​clouds apart.

"What a dog's temper, but it suits my taste, Old Niu."

"Old man, what do you have to say?"

"If I swallow that traitorous thing, don't feel bad."

Daoist Tiandu gave a bitter smile. "If you kill him, how am I supposed to explain this to my sect?"

"How about I tell you, you old ox, that you're protecting your bastards, and then I'll suppress you under this cliff for five hundred years?"

The blue ox snorted, its tail sweeping the ground and kicking up dust, expressing its dissatisfaction. "Kid, you saw it too. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that this old geezer won't let me."

Wu Tian's mind had gradually calmed down. In any case, what he had seen was only a glimpse of the future. Now that he knew the root of the disaster, he would not let his teachers, relatives, and friends fall into calamity again. What he was doing now was simply to nip it in the bud.

He looked at the green ox and said, "What I ask for is very simple: kill Chu Yong as soon as he enters Buddhism."

The old ox was now genuinely curious. "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for you to let the old man do it? Why bother me?"

Wu Tian lowered his head. "After all, the patriarch is human. We must leave some room for maneuver."

The old ox couldn't help but roll its eyes, its tail slapping the ground. "None of them are good people, young or old. They just want me to take the blame. I'll do the dirty work, and you'll get all the credit."

Wu Tian did not deny it. If the Heavenly Capital Ancestor were to favor him unconditionally, it would only cause resentment and make people think that he was being too biased.

However, if Chu Yong were to become a Buddhist and have Qing Niu kill him, others would only think that Chu Yong deserved to be punished anyway, and that the Demon Saint's act of protecting his own, though decisive and excessive, was still understandable.

Anyway, Chu Yong deserved to die, and he angered the Demon Saint. Others might complain a bit, or some serious people might turn their anger towards the Green Ox.

The Heavenly Capital Patriarch can observe the situation calmly, intervene at crucial moments, harmonize Yin and Yang, control the situation, and prevent it from spiraling out of control.

Wu Tian's thoughts were actually conceived from the perspective of the young sect leader, taking both Tiandu Daoist and this old ox into account.

"Not bad, not bad. You've shown some strategic thinking, although you're still a bit green. But you've already grasped the importance of maintaining the rules and leveraging opportunities. That's already a basic understanding."

Upon hearing these words, the Taoist Master Tiandu couldn't help but burst into laughter, stroking his white beard as he said, "I grant your permission. As long as Chu Yong enters Buddhism, you may proceed with your actions."

"From this day forward, I, this old Taoist priest, will go into seclusion."

"Hahaha!"

He laughed loudly as his figure gradually disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

After the Taoist priest disappeared, the old ox that had been lying on the ground suddenly rolled over and let out a deep moo.

"Moo~~"

After a deep and long moo, the old ox on the ground stood up and transformed into a burly man who was eight feet tall. However, this man had two ox horns on his head, an ox nose, and an ox tail swaying behind him.

Its skin was bluish-black all over, making it look like a monster, but it didn't look human at all.

After transforming into human form, he twisted his neck, making a cracking sound, and then opened his mouth to spit out a wine gourd. He pulled out the stopper and gulped down the wine.

After drinking for a while, until his chest was covered in wine, he laughed loudly and shouted, "That was great! This old bastard has been watching me the whole time; I was about to suffocate!"

He glared at Wu Tian with his bull-like eyes, "You little bastard, just say what you want to do. If that Chu Yong dares to enter Buddhism, I'll twist his head off."

Wu Tian still asked cautiously, "I wonder if you are confident, senior?"

The old ox immediately got angry, and blew a loud breath through its nose, producing two puffs of white smoke. "You little bastard, are you looking down on me, an old ox?"

"If I, Old Niu, wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as killing a chicken or a dog. Do you want to try?"

Wu Tian then grinned and said, "Senior, please don't be offended. I am, after all, a junior with limited knowledge and no one to guide me. How could I know how amazing you are?"

"I was bullied and forced into a corner, so I came to seek revenge from my senior."

"Don't worry, senior. Once this matter is settled, I will definitely treat you to a good drink."

Green Ox then laughed loudly: "You little rascal, you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve, but I, Old Ox, am only good at killing people, I can't do anything else."

"If you're so inclined, steal a pot of that old bastard's Taiqing Jade Liquid for me, and I'll call you grandpa."

Wu Tian was speechless. He could see that this Green Ox was clearly a reckless person, and it was useless to say nice things to him.

However, since the old ox was willing to take action, the matter was more than half resolved.

He narrowed his dog-like eyes, baring his canine teeth, and said, "Senior, I am a beginner in the 'Supreme Body Refining Method.' If I were to transform into someone else, how could I possibly deceive the eyes and ears of a wandering immortal?"

The green ox kept drinking from the wine gourd, which was a treasure, and even after he had swallowed so much wine, it was still not finished.

His round, bull-like eyes glared at Wu Tian as he muttered, "What mischief are you up to, you little rascal?"

"With your current level of cultivation, you can change your body but not your soul. You'll probably be recognized at a glance and beaten to a pulp."

Wu Tian's face stiffened slightly; this old ox's words were truly unpleasant.

He had originally planned to use the "Supreme Refining Form Method" to transform into Chen Jingzhen, partly to gather information and partly to let Chu Qingyu know how powerful he was.

When the crucial moment arrives, we'll give that old bastard Chu Yong a real beating, so he'll know that a barking dog doesn't bite.

When it really wants to bite, it will bite off a piece of your flesh.

Unfortunately……

He asked somewhat unwillingly, "Senior, is there really no other way?"

"Well... there is a way!" Qingniu stopped what he was doing and shook the wine gourd in his hand.

Wu Tian immediately understood and said without hesitation, "I'll go and fill the gourd in your hand right away, senior. Also, I'd like to invite you to have some..."

He thought for a moment, then grinned, "I'll also treat you to dog meat, senior."

Upon hearing this, Old Niu couldn't help but shudder, a chill running down his spine. "That bastard is really ruthless."

"Forget it, I wouldn't dare eat dog meat. What if I'm not fully awake one day and you, you little rascal, bite off my head?"

As he spoke, he grabbed the gourd with his large, fan-like hand and handed it to Wu Tian: "Just fill this gourd up for me."

His large, bell-like eyes darted around, and he couldn't hide his smugness.

Wu Tian took the gourd and said casually, "This is nothing. I saw that there is a fairy pool on another cliff where the patriarch cultivated. I will just fill this gourd up."

The green ox was stunned. It took him a long time to realize what he was talking about. If this bastard really did that, wouldn't that old man skin him alive?

He hurriedly followed Wu Tian, ​​somewhat flustered, "No, no, that's too much. How about we just pack half?"

"Forget it, let's just pretend to be 30%?"

"How about we only install 10%?"

Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Senior, please rest assured. After all, I am the auspicious omen of the sect, and the founder has allowed me to use the sect's resources."

"But I don't consume much external material, so it's not of much use to me."

"The jade liquid in that immortal pool is indeed wonderful, but I am not fortunate enough to enjoy it at my current level. Giving some to you, senior, is nothing!"

Qingniu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew exactly what was in that pool. Usually, if he greedily licked it a few times, the old man would whip him.

I never expected to get to enjoy this from the puppies.

His ox-like face immediately broke into a wide grin. "Brother Dog, from now on you can just call me Big Brother. I'll really step up if you need anything."

"Murder, arson, robbery, I'm the best at it all."

"If you take a fancy to any young lady, I can kidnap her for you."
