Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 158 The Mysteries of the Demon Saint, the Star Lord and the Great Sage (Please Subscribe)

For the first few days, the area outside Yuquan Cave was indeed bustling with activity.

Upon hearing that Daozi had been blessed with children and that the extraordinary phenomenon of "the sun and moon shining together" had occurred, many cultivators in the sect, regardless of their inner thoughts, brought gifts to offer their congratulations.

Elixirs, spiritual materials, magical artifacts, talismans... all kinds of gifts piled up like mountains, and congratulations were heard incessantly.

Although Wu Tian disliked social engagements, he knew it was inappropriate to keep people at arm's length at this time, so he had two dragons greet them, while he spent most of his time with Bai Qian and the two children.

Bai Qian is weak after giving birth and needs to rest. Her two children are also very young and cannot be disturbed.

The visitors were tactful; most left gifts, expressed their congratulations, and then departed.

Inside Yuquan Cave.

Bai Qian transformed into human form, lying on her side on the jade couch. Her breathing was much more stable and robust than it had been a month ago. She wore a loose, moon-white long dress, and her long, silver hair cascaded down her chest.

At this moment, she had lost some of the wildness of a demon king, and her gaze gently fell as she looked at the two little bundles sleeping peacefully beside her.

Bai Yaochen and Bai Yaozhu have grown a size larger than when they were born, and their sparse silver lanugo has become thick and soft, like the finest silver satin.

The older brother, Yao Chen, was not sleeping soundly. His four little paws would kick unconsciously from time to time. The sun mark between his eyebrows would faintly emit a barely perceptible golden light with his breathing, making the area around him brighter and warmer than other places.

The younger sister, Yaozhu, was much quieter, curled up into a small ball, breathing evenly. The crescent moon mark between her eyebrows shone with a soft light, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a faint, hazy moonlight.

Wu Tian carefully and gently stroked the backs of the two children with a large hand covered in white fur, his gaze falling on Bai Qian with concern.

"Qianqian, how are you feeling? Is the moonlight nourishing you smoothly?"

"Much better." Bai Qian nodded gently. "The depleted vital energy has been stabilized; all that's left is to work it out gradually."

Holding his sleeping child, Wu Tian circulated the Supreme Refining Form Method. After the child's birth, perhaps because he had something to rely on, he could clearly feel that the pure light on the inner core of the Taiqing Dharma Pearl was becoming more refined and pure, and his divine sense's perception of everything around him had become more acute and subtle.

Bai Qian also activated the Moon Devouring Technique inherited from the Howling Celestial Dog, and moonlight poured down from the sky like a waterfall, engulfing her body.

Although her bloodline and potential were somewhat weakened after giving birth, she spent the past three years studying combat techniques with Wu Tian and also came into contact with the mysteries of the "Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture," making her cultivation increasingly refined.

The inner elixir is pure and flawless, resonating with heaven and earth.

The original constraints have gradually dissipated, allowing it to glimpse the path to becoming a demon saint.

For the demon race, without breaking through to the level of Demon Saint, regardless of whether they have awakened supernatural powers, they are all Demon Kings.

However, the human race has a distinction between Dao Embryo and Primordial Spirit. In order to differentiate the combat power between demon kings, the so-called Great Demon King was created.

Essentially, they are all demon kings, and all take refining their inner core as the foundation of their cultivation.

Until one day, when the inner elixir merges with heaven and earth and transforms into stars, that is the realm of a demon saint.

In ancient times, the Demon Saint was also known as the Star Lord or Star Sovereign.

Stars are classified into ancient stars, celestial stars, and terrestrial stars.

He is a demon saint who has gathered the essence of the Earthly Fiends Star, comparable to a wandering immortal.

He is a demon saint who has gathered the essence of the Heavenly Stars, comparable to a true immortal.

He is a demon saint who has condensed the essence of an ancient star, comparable to a god, and is also known as an ancient saint or a great saint.

Kong Lingxuan, the Great Sage of the Undying Palace in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang, once condensed the ancient star Nanhua. The star rose high and shone brightly over the Central Plains, and he was also known as the Star Lord of Nanhua.

From that time onward, Nan Hua Star will never perish, and the Great Sage will never die.

He was once invincible, fighting against the Fire God Palace Ancestors, Wu De Xing Jun and Huo De Xing Jun. He was able to kill Huo De Xing Jun even when fighting two opponents at once, and his name became famous throughout the world.

Even the Buddhist Guanyin was not afraid of him. The two sides fought more than 800 battles. The intensity of the conflict between Buddhism and the demon race was rarely seen in the world.

If it weren't for encountering someone like the Heavenly Capital Taoist, with the supernatural powers of Kong Lingxuan, the Star Lord of Southern China, sweeping across the Central Plains would have been commonplace.

Even in ancient times, a great sage like Kong Lingxuan would have been a giant among the demon race, a powerful figure who could roam the world freely.

In ancient times, there were 480 million stars in the world. Besides those stars that were naturally born from the laws of heaven and earth, many of them were powerful demon saints.

Even the most eternal stars eventually shatter.

There are ancient and powerful beings who can pluck stars from the sky and seize the moon. In battle, they can shatter the heavens and manipulate the stars, causing countless immortals, Buddhas, and saints to perish.

Only those primordial stars, eternally undestroyed from ancient times to the present, are recorded in ancient texts as the bodies of primordial gods and demons, or the wombs that gave birth to them.

Some of the legendary ancient innate demon gods were incarnations of the sun, some were deities of the moon, and others, such as the Azure Dragon constellation, the White Tiger constellation, and the Vermilion Bird constellation, gave birth to many more demon gods.

Three hundred and sixty primordial stars illuminate the past and present, eternally undiminished.

Other stars are subject to birth and death, some born naturally, others formed from the inner core of a demon king combined with the heavens and earth, and so on.

The more powerful and ancient a star is, the closer the laws of heaven and earth it contains are to the origin of heaven and earth, and the more brilliant and indelible it is.

Therefore, the Demon Saint realm is a completely different world compared to before.

The inner alchemy is in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth, and is itself the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth. It is the manifestation of the Tao and the principle, and completely transcends the mundane and the earth. Therefore, it is called a saint by all living beings.

Bai Qian is a member of the Howling Celestial Dog clan. She was born with a powerful bloodline and cultivated for hundreds of years until she achieved perfect supernatural powers. As a great demon king, she fought against scattered immortals and was revered as one of the eight great demon immortals in the world.

However, even if one wishes to merge one's inner core with the heavens and earth, adorn the stars, and break through to the Demon Saint realm, there is still no hope in sight.

It wasn't until recent years, when I performed with Wu Tian, ​​that I began to reap the rewards.

Although her bloodline and potential were damaged after giving birth, there was hope for the future. As her vitality recovered, her strength not only did not decline, but instead showed signs of flourishing.

As Wu Tian practiced the Supreme Refining Form Technique, he could clearly sense the increasingly ancient and mysterious aura emanating from Bai Qian, as if she were about to soar to the heavens and completely leave the mortal realm.

"Qianqian is probably not far from breaking through to the Demon Saint realm..."

He was somewhat delighted. What he was about to do would inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed. If Bai Qian could break through to the Demon Saint level, she would be his most trusted and reliable helper.

The cave fell silent, with only the essence of the sun and moon flowing and circulating over the family of four, accompanied by the even breathing of the two children, weaving a peaceful and serene picture.

However, this calm did not last long.

A month later, visitors came to Yuquan Cave.

The newcomer was a middle-aged Taoist priest with a stern face, dressed in a ceremonial robe, followed by two disciples.

Holding the jade book, his voice was flat and calm. After bowing respectfully to Wu Tian, ​​he solemnly said, "Daoist, please allow me to inform you that according to the rules of Taiqing Temple, non-cultivators are not allowed to reside in the important location of Xuantian Peak for an extended period."

"Your esteemed companion, Bai Qian, hails from the Southern Frontier and is not a registered cultivator of this sect."

"Considering that she was previously pregnant and her situation is special, she is granted temporary stay."

"Now that Bai Qian has successfully given birth, according to the law, she should be asked to leave the mountain and live separately."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the depths of the cave, and continued, "If you do not wish to descend the mountain, there is also a passageway."

"We can ask Bai Qian, the Demon King, to receive the Dharma Seal of the Tongtian Mountain Guardian lineage and enter the Guardian register. From then on, she will be the Guardian of Taiqing Temple and can stay in the mountain." "In addition, Daozi's two young sons should not stay for too long."

"If you wish to stay in the mountain, you need to find a famous master and be accepted into a certain lineage; or you can receive the Dharma seal of the Dharma protector and enter the Dharma protector's lineage to cultivate."

"This is an ancestral rule. Please understand and make a decision as soon as possible."

These words were well-organized and adhered strictly to the rules, seemingly fair and impartial, yet carrying an undeniable chill.

This directly pushed Bai Qian and her two newborn children to a critical juncture where they had to make a choice.

Before Wu Tian could speak, as if by prior arrangement, two vast and boundless auras of Dharma suddenly descended upon the Jade Spring Cave.

Clouds surged and celestial light intertwined.

The image of the Primordial Heavenly King stood majestically, and Jiang Wuyai's voice, like a heavenly decree, resounded through the void: "White Dragon Daoist, your two sons have extraordinary bloodlines and innate talents. To leave them in the lineage of the Dharma Protectors is truly a waste of their potential."

“I am willing to take in the puppy that caused the great sun phenomenon, teach it the Yellow Court Dao Scripture, and teach it the method of the Sun-Wandering God. In the future, it will receive heavenly blessings and its future will be limitless.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's Dharma form, which had descended at the same time, radiated nine-colored light, and the clear, cold voice of the Fairy Yao Guang rang out.

“Your daughter was born with the essence of the moon, and her spiritual essence is naturally perfected. She has a deep connection with the lineage of the Mysterious Maiden, the ‘Su Nu Xuan Shu Jing’.”

"Those who enter my school and inherit my teachings will not fail to live up to their talents."

First, the monks from the Hall of Ceremonies came to their door, intending to drive Bai Qian and her two young children away, and then the two mountain lords arrived right on cue.

The intention is blatant and completely undisguised.

Wu Tian didn't even glance at the monk from the Hall of Ceremonies. He remained calm and silent, showing no sign of anxiety whatsoever.

He had anticipated this scene long ago, having learned of it a month ago and made preparations in advance.

Not to mention, there were more than just these two people here today, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.

Sure enough, just a few breaths later, thousands of auspicious wisps of air and countless rays of light appeared in the sky, and a Qilin rode in on the clouds.

The majestic voice of the Tongtian Mountain Master rang out: "You two are dreaming. As descendants of the Dao Child, it is only right for you to join my Tongtian Mountain."

"These two cubs possess extraordinary talent and have impeccable lineage. They will naturally be taken in by Tongtian Mountain. What business is it of yours?"

"Jiang Wuyai, Yaoguang, you've overstepped your bounds!"

The roar of the Qilin resounded in all directions, and the void trembled like ripples. "Daozi, if you are willing, I am willing to take the two little ones as my disciples."

"With me here, I will never let outsiders harm a single hair on their heads."

Just then, the sound of surging water swept in, followed by a waterfall cascading down from the sky, as if to engulf everything.

When the Milky Way descended, it revealed an old man with white hair, wearing a white robe with wide sleeves, and with the long river flowing around his body. He was none other than Su Qinghe, the master of Tianshan.

"Bai Long'er, your master Zhu Yeshuang is from my lineage of sword immortals."

"If you trust me, why don't you let me take them as my disciples?"

Before anyone knew it, the Lord of Qingcheng Mountain had also arrived.

The mountain lord got straight to the point, "Daoist Bailong, your daughter has a connection with the lineage of my Qingcheng Mountain. If you agree, I am willing to take her as my disciple and pass on my mantle."

In an instant, five immortals manifested their divine forms in the sky above Yuquan Cave.

The celestial light was dazzling, the energy intertwined, and the Daoist rhymes collided. The sky was filled with clouds and rosy hues, transforming this place into a Daoist arena.

The monks of the Hall of Ceremonies were so frightened that they retreated to a distance, barely able to stand up straight, and could only lower their heads, not daring to look directly at the immortals.

The five Dharma images looked down, their gazes falling on Wu Tian.

Wu Tian strode out of the cave, standing tall and proud, his dog-headed expression calm and indifferent.

"Lord Jiang and Lord Yaoguang, I appreciate your kindness."

"However, my children are still infants, so it is too early to talk about them becoming disciples."

"There's no need to bring this up again."

He bluntly refused the two mountain lords' offer to take him as a disciple, without making any attempt to conceal it.

His gaze then turned to the Lord of Tongtian Mountain, Su Qinghe, the Lord of Tianshan Mountain, and the Lord of Qingcheng Mountain. His tone softened slightly, but he still had a resolute air about him: "I am grateful for the Lord of Tongtian Mountain's protection."

“I am aware of the esteemed talents of the Tianshan and Qingcheng Mountain Masters.”

"I'm truly sorry, but I have other plans for the future of the two little ones."

The ethereal voice of the Fairy Yaoguang rang out again, carrying a hint of barely perceptible coldness: "The Daoist's love for his son is understandable."

"But Wang Daozi must not forget that although Xuantian Peak is a good place, it is not a place for outsiders to stay for long. The rules of the sect are as firm as mountains."

These words already carried a hint of threat, directly addressing the fate of Bai Qian and the two cubs.

Wu Tian couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "No need for the Lord of Yaoguang Mountain to worry about me. I have my own plans for my wife and children, and it's none of the business of outsiders."

"As for the sect rules, I am a Daoist disciple, and how I conduct myself is none of the business of outsiders..."

His words were decisive and domineering, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Jiang Wuyai and Yaoguang's Dharma images were restrained in their radiance, yet their oppressive aura was even heavier.

However, with the Lord of Tongtian Mountain and two other sword immortals watching from the side, and given that this was Xuantian Peak, they ultimately dared not act recklessly.

The situation became somewhat tense for a moment.

In the end, Jiang Wuyai's Dharma form faded first, leaving only a sentence that could not be discerned as emotion echoing in the void: "Since that's the case, I hope Daozi... will take care of himself."

The Fairy Yaoguang gave Wu Tian a deep look before disappearing.

"Haha, since Daozi has made his plans, I'm off!"

The Lord of Tongtian Mountain let out a low roar as a farewell, and then the Qilin rode away on auspicious clouds, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the Lord of Tianshan and the Lord of Qingcheng Mountain did not linger any longer and transformed into sword light, disappearing into the sky.

The sky above Yuquan Cave cleared up, leaving only the middle-aged Taoist priest from the Hall of Ceremonies and his two disciples, their faces pale and silent as cicadas in winter, unsure whether to leave or stay.

The level of confrontation they just witnessed far exceeded what their status could withstand.

Wu Tian's indifferent golden eyes turned to the monks of the Hall of Ceremonies, his voice calm, "You have come here today in accordance with the sect rules and to read out the regulations, and there is nothing wrong with that."

"However, it is not up to others to interfere in the affairs of my Jade Spring Cave."

"If anyone criticizes you, tell him to come to me."
