Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 153 Panel Changes, A Thousand Years of Cultivation (Please Subscribe)
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Suspended Peak, Ancestral Hall.

It stands quietly amidst the ever-present sea of ​​clouds.

This place is not a physical entity, but rather a tapestry woven from countless condensed rays of pure light, within which countless incantations flow, flickering and changing in countless ways, making the entire Ancestral Hall seem to breathe.

Only immortals who have cultivated to the point of attaining the Dharma form can enter this place in their Dharma form.

At this moment, the masters of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks had all gathered.

The Yuqing lineage, under the leadership of Jiang Wuyai, the master of Huangting Mountain, cultivates the Huangting Daojing of the Yuqing lineage. He cultivates the Eight Scenes and Twenty-Four True Ones, and all five senses and nine orifices are governed by deities, and all worship the Primordial Heavenly King.

Jiang Wuyai's Heavenly King Dharma Image is entirely cast from ancient divine metal, with a golden wheel behind his head composed of billions of luminous and illuminating talismans, scattering celestial light.

Among the three mountains, Huangting Mountain's Yuqing lineage is vaguely regarded as the most prestigious.

Jiang Wuyai sat cross-legged in the hall, not uttering a word, yet exuding a captivating majesty.

To his left is Yao Guang, the mistress of Jade Capital Mountain. The dharma form cultivated by this female immortal is none other than the renowned Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

The Mysterious Maiden was draped in a robe woven from nine-colored clouds. Countless tiny, yet extremely sharp, points of light were generated and extinguished in her eyes, evolving into all sorts of killing techniques and outlining a military map.

On the right, the master of Tongtian Mountain, the true form of that ancient Qilin, has arrived. Its body is a Dharma form, representing the Dao and principles of heaven and earth. Its body is covered with ancient, azure scales, surrounded by purple mist and auspicious light.

Following these three Dharma images are the masters of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Su Qinghe, the master of Tianshan, is a wandering immortal of the sword immortal lineage. He and Wu Tian had crossed paths in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang. At this moment, he is only wearing a long blue robe and looks like an ordinary old Taoist.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that his entire body is woven from countless fine, dense gaps, and every wisp of sword energy flows with a chilling sharpness.

The Lord of Longhu Mountain was shrouded in a misty purple aura. A three-legged, two-eared cauldron above his head slowly rotated, and it seemed as if dragons and tigers were roaring inside. The fragrance of elixirs filled the air, making people feel refreshed.

The Lord of Mount Taihua manifested as a mountain-moving warrior, his muscles bulging like a coiled dragon, condensed from the primordial energy. His feet were connected to the pulse of the earth, unmoving and unshaking, possessing the weight of ten thousand mountains.

The Dharma image of the Lord of Mount Luofu is draped in a star-studded robe, holding a scroll in his hand. His gaze, opening and closing, seems to illuminate the nine netherworlds and summon ghosts and gods.

The Lord of Qingcheng Mountain is also a member of the Sword Immortal lineage. His fundamental inheritance is the Great Freedom Formless Sword Qi, and his Dharma form is an invisible sword light, ethereal and unpredictable.

The Sword Immortal lineage, though not affiliated with the Three Mountains, holds sway over the Two Sacred Mountains.

They wield considerable power within the sect.

The masters of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks gathered together, and eight Dharma images manifested. Different Dharma principles and Daoist charms filled the hall. Clear light swayed, permeated and intertwined, colliding with each other, making this space seem to tremble slightly.

Just then, the figure of the Heavenly Capital Taoist silently appeared on the suspended jade cloud bed in the center.

He did not manifest any earth-shattering divine form; he remained in his simple Taoist robe.

However, the moment he appeared, the radiance of the Dharma image of the Lord of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks involuntarily subsided, and all the restless Dharma principles and Daoist charms returned to calm before him.

Even the Daoist rhythms that intertwined and collided in the air became gentle and orderly.

It was as if an invisible hand had gently smoothed everything over.

The Heavenly Capital Daoist's gaze swept across the crowd indifferently, his voice not loud, yet clearly imprinted on the hearts of every immortal: "My intention is to establish Bai Long'er as the Dao Child."

"Please feel free to speak your mind."

The moment the words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

A brief, suffocating silence enveloped the entire Ancestral Hall.

Jiang Wuyai slowly raised his head in the form of the Primordial Heavenly King, and the golden wheel behind his head suddenly accelerated its rotation, emitting a deep, muffled rumble.

"Our patriarch is wise; the position of Daoist Child is crucial to the continuation of our Taiqing Daoist lineage."

“To establish a dog demon is unworthy of one’s position and further disrupts the moral order.”

"My Taiqing Dao lineage is a human heritage; how can it be usurped by demons?"

“If this precedent is set, the foundation will be shaken, and there will be endless troubles in the future. I urge the patriarch to think it over carefully.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the radiant image of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden beside him, and the clear, cold voice of the Yao Guang Immortal, rang out, "Ancestor, the Taiqing Dao Child must have the ability to suppress his peers and lead the masses."

“A mere dog demon, having just formed his inner core, with a shallow foundation, has suddenly risen to a high position. I think he is not up to the weight of this Dao Child.”

"If we go out in the future and are killed by demons and monsters, wouldn't we become a laughing stock?"

Upon hearing this, the Qilin that had been lying quietly on the right slowly opened its eyes. They were a pair of vertical cyan-gold pupils, through which one could seem to see scenes from the ancient past.

"absurd!"

As the Lord of Tongtian Mountain spoke, the auspicious aura around him suddenly intensified, transforming into golden lotuses that instantly dispelled most of the oppressive atmosphere brought by the other two Lords' Dharma forms.

"Bai Long'er is blessed with a destiny bestowed by Heaven and profound good fortune. This is an auspicious sign for our Taiqing Temple to receive the mandate of Heaven, embrace all spirits, and revive our Taoist lineage!"

Although he was worried about whether Bai Long'er could secure his position as the Dao Child, what he needed to do at this moment in the Ancestral Hall was to express his will and stance.

He paused slightly, and the auspicious golden lotus around him surged even more violently, as if foreshadowing his next words.

"The so-called distinction between humans and demons is a narrow-minded view!"

"The Great Dao of Taiqing encompasses everything; how can it be confined to the human race?"

“I, Tongtian Mountain, support the auspicious white dragon who was born to ascend to the position of Daoist son.”

Three completely different wills clashed fiercely within the hall, causing the curtain of clear light that fell upon the hall to sway violently, the chaotic starry river on the dome to flow faster, and even the incense in the hall to seem to be tinged with a sense of solemnity.

The attitude of the Three Mountains Master is already clear.

The Yuqing and Xuan Nu lineages vehemently opposed it, while the Tongtian Mountain Guardian lineage was the most steadfast supporter.

After a brief silence, Su Qinghe, the Lord of Tianshan, spoke up, "After all, Bai Long'er is born with auspiciousness, and he is certainly worthy of the position of Dao Child."

His stance in making these remarks was very clear.

Bai Long'er's master, Zhu Yeshuang, is a direct descendant of the Sword Immortal lineage, so Bai Long'er is, in a sense, one of their own.

Given his naturally auspicious status, it's not an exaggeration to call him Daozi.

But that only applies to Daozi...

As for going any higher, even the Sword Immortal lineage wouldn't agree.

These words immediately made the other immortals thoughtful.

After a brief silence, the Lord of Longhu Mountain spoke, "Given his auspicious birth, it is not an exaggeration to call him a Daoist disciple, but he must win the hearts and minds of his disciples, otherwise it will only lead to disaster."

"This is not a good thing for him or for the sect."

The Yellow Turban Warrior Dharma Image of the Lord of Mount Taihua emitted a deep rumble, like the whisper of the mountains: "That's simple. Let this one come out and take a look. If he can subdue his peers, the commotion will naturally stop."

The stars surrounding the Lord of Mount Luofu suddenly lit up, his voice carrying a chilling insight into the netherworld: "Agreed."

The Lord of Qingcheng Mountain did not speak; the Sword Immortal lineage has always advanced and retreated together.

Although Qingcheng and Tianshan are located in different places, they belong to the same lineage and are inseparable.

The attitudes of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks are clearly distinct at this moment, yet they subtly maintain a balance.

The Taoist Tiandu's face remained calm and still as he glanced at the crowd.

"Within three years, disciples below the primordial spirit level from all 108 peaks of the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks can ask the Daoist Master for guidance."

"That's settled then." The figure of the Heavenly Capital Daoist slowly faded away, and the Dharma image of the Lord of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks once again shone with a brilliant and dazzling light.

The Ancestral Hall was bathed in a soft, pale light, as if nothing had ever happened.

The eight statues remained silent for a moment, then finally, each conveyed a thought to the suspended cloud bed: "We humbly obey the Ancestral Master's decree."

The sound echoed in the empty ancestral hall...

The Lord of Tongtian Mountain slightly shook his Qilin horn. With the patriarch speaking, the pressure on the dog would be limited to its peers, and no rash immortals would dare to make a move.

"Little one, it's up to you now..."

……

Inside Yuquan Cave.

Wu Tian, ​​now in the form of a great demon, held Bai Qian in his arms, caressing her slender and supple waist, his large hand easily covering it.

"The old Taoist priest informed me that the matter has been settled, but due to the calamity in the Northwest, the sect will not hold a celebration ceremony for the time being, and it will be held after the war is over."

"So fast? Don't the lords of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks have any objections?"

Bai Qian looked at him with her beautiful eyes. The meeting of the Ancestral Hall was on the minds of almost all the cultivators on Xuantian Peak. Although she had not brought it up before, she had been keeping it in mind.

Wu Tian's gaze was calm: "Within three years, disciples from all 108 peaks of the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks, as long as their cultivation level is below the Nascent Soul stage, may seek his guidance."

"We only have three or four years left until our child is born."

“I had already made up my mind that I would never come down the mountain in the next few years.”

"I will focus solely on studying the Daoist scriptures and strive to complete all 36,000 volumes of Daoist scriptures as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he gently stroked Bai Qian's lower abdomen with his large, white, hairy hand. "Having these disciples seeking my guidance is not necessarily a bad thing for me."

Bai Qian nestled obediently in his arms: "It's good that you have a plan."

Feeling the soft, warm fragrance of the jade in his arms, Wu Tian silently opened the system panel.

Name: Bai Long'er
Age: 16
True Form: Sun-Eating Heavenly Dog

Realm: Demon King

Inner Alchemy: Taiqing Dharma Pearl

Taoist practice: 1101 years

Mana: 100 years

神通种子：太清仙光1%（十二品）；通天法眼5%（十一品）；天狗吞日20%（九品）；阴风10%（九品）；神雷10%（九品）；天河剑气10%（九品）；三昧真火10%（九品）
The process of breaking through to the Demon King level benefited him greatly, and all six of his supernatural power seeds made significant progress.

More than 12-grade Taiqing Immortal Light appeared.

The biggest change on the system panel is the addition of the True Form and Taoist Cultivation.

The so-called true form is actually the original bloodline. However, since the Taiqing Immortal Light was condensed, his life essence has changed, and the Sun-Devouring Celestial Hound is merely his true form.

This is actually related to the various forms of cultivation after the primordial spirit and the wandering immortal.

Immortals, Buddhas, gods, and demons all have various forms. It is said that the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha has thirty-two forms, each with supernatural powers that reach the heavens and the earth.

Wu Tian is currently only cultivating his original form; he is still far from achieving all forms.

In addition to this, the second change on the system panel is the addition of Taoist cultivation.

The so-called "Dao Xing" refers to the understanding of the laws and principles of heaven and earth, which affects the upper limit of a practitioner's magical power and lifespan.

Before a cultivator or a great demon breaks through to the next level, their maximum magical power is limited by their own essence, energy, and spirit, which also means that they can add an extra hundred years to their original lifespan.

However, once the Dao Embryo and Inner Core are formed, the upper limit of one's magical power and lifespan depend on one's cultivation level.

The improvement of one's spiritual cultivation comes from the seeds of supernatural powers.

A first-grade divine power seed, once perfected, can increase one's cultivation by one hundred years.

The seed of a third-grade divine power is perfected, enough to elevate one's cultivation by three hundred years.

The seed of the ninth-grade divine power is perfected, enough to enhance one's cultivation by nine hundred years.

Wu Tian's Taiqing Immortal Light is a 12th-grade divine power seed. Once he broke through to the Demon King realm, he gained 1,100 years of cultivation.

Once the progress of cultivating the Heavenly Eye is 100% complete, one's cultivation level will increase by another 100 years, for a total increase of 1200 years.

However, the cultivation levels of different supernatural seeds cannot be stacked; the level of cultivation depends only on the highest-grade supernatural seed.

This represents his highest achievement in comprehending the laws of heaven and earth.

"A thousand years of cultivation can at most accumulate a thousand years of magical power, and at the same time, it adds an extra thousand years to my original lifespan."

"Once you break through to the Demon King realm, all the accumulation you made in the past at the Refining Realm will be completely transformed into cultivation level and lifespan."

"The foundation of the Refining Law Realm is extremely important. If the foundation is insufficient, the quality of the supernatural power seed will be poor, which will directly affect the cultivation, magic power and lifespan after the breakthrough, and will also directly affect whether one can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

Wu Tian looked at the system panel. He had just broken through and hadn't had time to accumulate magic power yet.

His peak state is when his magical power accumulates to its limit.

This process cannot be accomplished overnight; it requires him to accumulate and refine his skills little by little.

Having just broken through to the Demon King realm, his strength was visibly transforming and improving every day.

Of course, in addition to accumulating magical power, for Dao Embryo and Demon King, the goal of cultivation at this stage is to condense supernatural powers.

Whether it's a demon king or a Dao embryo cultivator, the most important thing for condensing supernatural powers is the quality of the inner core and the Dao embryo. If the foundation is too shallow, the seed will forever remain just a seed and will be difficult to transform into supernatural powers.

Only those with a Dao embryo and inner elixir of grade four or higher have the hope of cultivating supernatural powers; the higher the grade, the greater the probability of a breakthrough.

For someone like Wu Tian, ​​who possesses a 12th-grade Taiqing Dharma Pearl inner elixir, there are absolutely no bottlenecks, and the path to cultivating supernatural powers is smooth sailing.

However, ordinary demon kings and cultivators, as long as they polish the seed of divine power to perfection, can find an opportunity to open the seed of divine power and nurture it into divine power.

Wu Tian has an extra path compared to them. After the Divine Power Seed is perfected, he can choose to upgrade the grade of the Divine Power Seed, reset the progress to zero, and continue to refine it.

The refinement and advancement of the seven supernatural power seeds will also take him far longer in this stage than Dao Embryo cultivators and demon kings.

The way to hone the seed of supernatural power is through combat techniques. The more compatible and profound the combat techniques are, the better the effect. If it involves fighting and killing, the effect will be even more outstanding.

For example, Li Guan traveled the world with invisible sword energy, testing his sword skills; Zhu Yeshuang honed her sword with the East Sea dragon, earning a great and fearsome reputation.

"No rush, let's lie low for a while first..."

Wu Tian used his all-seeing eye to observe the future several times. He knew that as long as he left Suspended Peak, there would inevitably be endless battles and little peace.

Whether for the safety of his child or to thoroughly study the 36,000 Taoist scriptures and enhance his own spiritual foundation, he would not descend the mountain at this time.

"This may be the last period of peace..."

A slit was slightly visible between his brows, with densely packed runes flowing around it, as if he could foresee the endless carnage to come.

Bai Qian lay quietly in his arms, not worried about the Dao Embryo cultivators he would face next.

No one knew better than her the terrifying power contained within this dog-headed body; even she was sometimes horrified.

The ones who should be afraid are those who want to be his enemies!
