Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 148 Heavenly River Sword Qi, Samadhi True Fire (Please Subscribe)
A few days later, Wu Tian, ​​feeling refreshed, stepped out of Yuquan Cave.

He stood at the entrance of the cave, gazing at the sky where the sea of ​​clouds churned.

Although he was eager to go to Wangtian City to see Manxiong Mu and his master's wife, his current status and position meant that his every move was under scrutiny, and he could not go down the mountain at will.

To leave the mountain gate, one must obtain the permission of the Heavenly Capital Patriarch.

The reason I was able to descend the mountain safely last time was because I had the powerful protector, Qingniu, with me; otherwise, it would have been impossible to get down the mountain.

Golden light flowed from his hair, sweeping away some of the filth and bad luck, and then he headed towards that familiar sea of ​​clouds and cliffs.

Not long after, I saw the Heavenly Capital Patriarch sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed under that ancient pine tree again, and next to the Patriarch, a blue ox leisurely swishing its tail and snorting.

"Disciple bows in gratitude to the Ancestral Master."

Wu Tian composed himself, stepped forward a few paces, and bowed respectfully.

If it weren't for the intervention of the Heavenly Capital Ancestor that day, things would probably not have been resolved so easily, and he was filled with gratitude for it.

The Heavenly Capital Patriarch sat cross-legged on the futon, surrounded by pure energy. Upon hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly. "No need for formalities. You are my disciple of the Taiqing Sect, and I have personally appointed you as the next sect leader. Naturally, I will not allow outsiders to bully you."

His gaze swept over Wu Tian with approval, "I see that the golden light of the Great Sun is condensed and protecting your body, your essence, energy and spirit are full and abundant, and the laws within your body are almost perfectly intertwined. Becoming a Demon King is just a thought away."

"You still haven't broken through, is it because you're practicing the Supreme Refining Form Method?"

Wu Tian nodded and frankly admitted, "The Ancestral Master's insight is like a torch. My disciple's 'Supreme Refining Form Method' is not yet complete, and my foundation is not yet perfect, so I am not in a hurry to break through."

Patriarch Tiandu nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have a method that can help you master this technique ahead of time, but you will have to endure some hardship. Are you willing?"

Wu Tian's eyes lit up. "Of course I'm willing. Please give me your guidance, Master."

The blue ox beside him stopped swishing its tail, turned its head, and stared at Wu Tian with its huge bull eyes. It looked at Wu Tian with a pitying gaze that seemed to say "good luck to you" and "I'm watching a good show," and let out a low moo.

"This method is also simple," the Heavenly Capital Patriarch said in a calm tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. "Just press you under the Azure Cliff for eighty-one days. If you can survive, you will naturally transform into a ray of Taiqing Immortal Light."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Imprisoned under a mountain? What kind of experience is this...?

However, he did not hesitate at all.

Having witnessed the Heavenly Capital Ancestor's power firsthand, he understood even more how insignificant he was in the face of a truly great being.

Only absolute strength is the only true measure of success.

"This disciple is willing to go, please, Master, lend a hand!" Wu Tian bowed again, his voice firm and powerful.

Seeing this, Patriarch Tiandu smiled with satisfaction and laughed heartily: "Not bad, this child is teachable!"

After saying that, he didn't make any move, but simply waved the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe, which immediately released a hazy celestial light.

Wu Tian was uncontrollably swept up by the clear light. The scenery before his eyes changed rapidly, and the wind howled in his ears. Before long, he had crossed the void and arrived above Biluo Cliff.

The towering Biluo Cliff pierces the clouds, and the roaring Heavenly River Waterfall, seemingly cascading from the heavens, splits dramatically in its midst.

At the bottom of the cliff, a crack appeared, emitting a cool glow and moisture.

Rumble!
As Wu Tian's body was enveloped by the clear light and precisely fell into the crevice, the separated cliffs emitted a muffled roar and slowly closed again.

Immense pressure surged in from all directions, instantly imprisoning him.

Immediately afterwards, the split waterfall cascaded down again, the heavy, icy water crashing against him, completely submerging the figure that had only managed to peek out as a dog's head, its entire body pinned down beneath the cliff.

"Woof——!"

A short, sharp bark escaped from the roar of the waterfall, then dissipated into the deafening roar of the cascading waters of the Milky Way.

……

At the foot of Biluo Cliff, Wu Tian couldn't help but grimace and let out a painful whimper.

Even those with bodies of steel and iron were nearly crushed into mincemeat by the cliffs covering them, not to mention the celestial river descending from the sky, its endless laws interwoven within.
Each drop of water is as heavy as a thousand pounds, yet contains endless mysteries; it can be icy cold, or scorching hot, or heavy, or pure and clear... and so on.

The crevice beneath the cliff was not meant to suppress him, but to protect him. It contained the wondrous methods of the Heavenly Ancestor, ensuring that he would not be turned into a pool of blood by the Azure Heavenly River.

He could only rely on instinct, frantically circulating the "Supreme Refining Form Method," visualizing the divine form of the Eight Trigrams Furnace in his mind, and constructing a phantom image of the furnace with his internal magical power.

hum!
Wu Tian was pressed under the cliff, experiencing intense pain as if he were about to be shattered to pieces. Even his soul was almost broken by the waters of the Heavenly River. However, his speed of enlightenment increased by more than ten times.

The "Supreme Refinement Method," which originally would have taken at least three to five years to perfect, began to improve at an unimaginable speed here.

The magical light within his body intertwined to form fine, dense runes, which filled the illusory Bagua furnace evolved from the magical light at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The progress bar for the "Supreme Refinement Method" also appeared on the system panel.

1%, 2%, 3%…

In just one day, I improved by three percent.

At this rate, it won't even take eighty-one days to refine the Supreme Clarity Immortal Light and escape from under this cliff.

Wu Tian also realized that he did have the system panel, and the benefits he gained from being at the foot of the cliff were far greater than the Heavenly Ancestor had imagined.

A feeling of joy welled up in his heart.

To endure a little pain and torment and achieve such an incredible speed of improvement is something that any cultivator would surely desire.

He shook his head wildly, revealing his somewhat sharp canine teeth.

"Woof woof woof~ That feels so good!!"

Wu Tian simply activated the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun Divine Power. As the divine power was activated, all the surrounding light was swallowed by his dog mouth. A great golden sun descended from the sky and was then swallowed by him.

As the golden light of the great sun entered his body, a faint golden light ignited on his fur, like flames, tempering his body and spirit and nourishing his physique.

Even the Heavenly Eye of Dharma opened slightly, and the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun Divine Power seemed to have a nourishing effect on this divine power seed. Every time the golden light of the great sun entered the body, it would make this divine power seed extremely active.

The Heavenly Eye resonated with the Heavenly Dog's Sun-Swallowing Divine Power, even beginning to devour the Heavenly River water bit by bit, nourishing the seed of Dharma within its body.

Thirty percent of the golden light of the great sun and the water of the Milky Way were poured onto the seed of the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun; forty percent was taken away by the All-Seeing Eye; and the remaining thirty percent was divided among the Yin Wind, Divine Thunder, and the Three Heads and Six Arms. The progress of all the seeds of supernatural powers also began to slowly increase.

Wu Tiangou's head was enveloped in golden light and the waves of the Azure Heavenly River, and he gradually entered a deep state of meditation, with three true methods flowing through his mind.

These are: *The Supreme Refining Form Method*, *The Great Freedom and Formless Sword Technique*, *The Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture*, etc.

The practice of the Supreme Refining Form Method in this realm involves refining one's own Dharma light into a purple-green Bagua furnace, then refining one's essence, energy, and supernatural powers into it, and finally leaping into the furnace. As long as one survives the leap, one can refine oneself into a bright, golden Taiqing Immortal Light.

The Great Freedom with Formless Sword Technique is the wonder of evolving the void. It uses the mind to communicate with the void, and a wisp of sword energy travels freely in the void. The void is used as a scabbard to hone the sword's edge. When cultivated to the end, the sword energy can reach anywhere, near or far, in the heavens, on earth, in the four seas and eight wastelands, in the blink of an eye.

The Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture uses the sun and moon to create creation; with a single breath, it can swallow a piece of the sky, following the path of the universe within the belly.

Wu Tian comprehended the profound meanings of these three true methods at an incredibly fast speed, without making a single mistake.

Beneath this Azure Cliff lies a certain unimaginable Daoist aura, seemingly left behind by countless predecessors and sages since the opening of Suspended Sky Peak.

Wu Tian even vaguely heard someone preaching. Although he couldn't hear the content clearly, the profound teachings of the Great Dao were guiding his cultivation path.

After a month of cultivation, a wisp of sword energy began to grow within his body.

This sword energy is formless and intangible, yet elusive and unpredictable. Its sharpness is so intense that it seems poised to tear through the void at any moment and head towards an extremely distant place.

Even more miraculously, the sword energy resonated subtly with the Milky Way, causing the river water falling from the sky to emit a clear, ringing sound.

Just then, a cold system notification sounded in his ear, startling Wu Tian from his meditation.

Ding! System notification: Your Great Freedom Formless Sword Qi resonates with the Azure Heaven River, allowing you to absorb and release its waters and condense seeds of divine power. Please select one of the following options to fuse and transform.

Option 1, Heavenly River Sword Qi, a ninth-grade divine power seed, can communicate with the heavens and the heavens, absorb the essence of the Heavenly River, transform it into sword light, and when it is unleashed, it is overwhelming, vast and mighty, and engulfs everything.

Option two, the Nine-Bend Yellow River, a seed of ninth-grade supernatural power, uses the wonder of the Great Freedom Formless Sword Qi to transform the water of the Milky Way from formless to tangible, condensing into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Dharma Light, which can protect the body, trap people, and has the wonder of eroding one's cultivation and severing one's primordial spirit.

(Note: Nine bends refers to the wonder of emptiness; the Yellow River refers to the celestial river in the blue sky that consumes souls, and the road to the underworld where no souls linger.)
Wu Tian glanced at it and, without much hesitation, directly chose the Heavenly River Sword Qi. It wasn't because of the difference in power, but because of the words "Heavenly Realm" described in the system panel.

"The Heavenly River Sword Qi can connect with the Heavenly Realm, which is more important than anything else..."

As soon as he thought it, the wisp of sword energy that had just emerged in his body underwent an extremely subtle change, instantly disintegrating into 63,200 runes. Then, it absorbed the light of the Milky Way, and even more runes were generated.

A short while later, 99,999 true incantations intertwined and transformed into a divine seed that was entirely blue-green and resembled a sword light.

The seed of supernatural power spun around and fell into the already partially formed Bagua Furnace.

At this moment, there were already three supernatural power seeds in the furnace: Yin Wind, Divine Thunder, and Three Heads and Six Arms. As the Heavenly River Sword Qi fell into it, it spontaneously generated a subtle resonance with Yin Wind and Divine Thunder.

Wu Tian had been struggling to inhale and exhale the water of the Milky Way, but now, with the seed of the Milky Way Sword Qi divine power falling down, his breathing speed increased dramatically.

The golden light of the sun descending from the sky intertwined with the waters of the Milky Way, transforming into a golden wave that fell into the dog's mouth.

"Next door..."

Wu Tian calmed his mind and continued his cultivation. About a month later, he also made progress in the "Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture".

However, the limit that his body's essence, energy, and spirit could bear had been reached. Including the Taiqing Immortal Light, the Tongtian Dharma Eye, the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun, and the four seeds floating in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, he had already condensed a total of seven divine power seeds.

Although the Taiqing Immortal Light has not yet been fully realized, he must leave enough room for this Daoist scripture to be contained within it.

"it's time……"

He was not flustered. The Eight Trigrams Furnace, which he had condensed with his magic power during this period, had taken initial shape. The next step was to refine his own essence, energy, and spirit into it.

The seed of supernatural power carries the most essence, energy, and spirit.

However, the two supernatural seeds, Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun and Heavenly Eye, are intertwined with one's own bloodline. Only by taking the final step of leaping into the furnace can these two supernatural seeds be refined into it as well.

Suddenly, golden flames ignited beneath the furnace, surging and refining the four divine power seeds: Yin Wind, Divine Thunder, Heavenly River Sword Qi, and Three Heads and Six Arms.

Twelve days later, the four seeds of supernatural power almost completely disintegrated into dense incantations, transforming into wind, thunder, and a celestial river, surging within the furnace. The supernatural power with three heads and six arms was completely refined and disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, a system notification sounded.

Ding! System notification: The "Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture" you are cultivating can be fused with the Three Heads and Six Arms Divine Power, allowing you to absorb and exhale the power of the sun, the moon, and the void, thus undergoing a transformation and advancement. Please choose one of the following two options.

Option 1, the Law of Heaven and Earth, is a seed of ninth-grade supernatural power. It can transform into the Dharma form of heaven and earth, with the sun and moon above its head and the void beneath its feet. It is unparalleled in battle and has unique mysteries in cultivation and practice.

Option two, Samadhi True Fire, the seed of nine-grade supernatural powers, can absorb the essence of the sun, moon, and void, burn the true nature, burn and refine nothing, and can refine the primordial spirit.

"Hehe, this is because the foundation wasn't strong enough, so we had to use a furnace to refine it."

"As it is refined by the Eight Trigrams Furnace, its essence, energy and spirit become more and more pure, and it gains an extra bit of capacity. Although it cannot re-condense new seeds of supernatural powers, it can integrate the profound meaning of the Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture into it without much problem."

Wu Tian's thoughts raced, but he didn't hesitate for a moment. After a brief pause, he directly chose the Samadhi True Fire.

The two supernatural seeds are not much different in power. The reason for this choice is that after refining the inner core, all demon kings will have the transformation of the true form of the demon king, which is very similar to the transformation of heaven and earth.

That's why he chose Samadhi Fire.

Once the thought was formed, flames began to grow in the Eight Trigrams Furnace. At first, they were just wisps, but soon the flames became more and more intense, spreading throughout the entire furnace.

Within the furnace, yin winds, divine thunder, celestial rivers, and raging flames surged incessantly, making the originally illusory Bagua Furnace almost real.

He opened his mouth and spat out the stove, which then landed in front of him.

"This disciple has achieved mastery in refining the technique and wishes to undergo a trial in the furnace. I humbly request the Ancestral Master's permission."

Wu Tian whispered, and as soon as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound was heard.

The cliff that had been suppressing him cracked open.

He bowed slightly, then leaped off the cliff and landed precisely in the Bagua Furnace.

With a clang, the stove lid slammed shut.

Water, fire, wind, and thunder surged, completely engulfing the foot-long white dog's body.
