Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The Crimson Python frantically channeled its remaining magical power, and a faint crimson light reappeared on its body in an attempt to resist.

At the same time, the red python's avatar, which was wrestling with Yinshan, let out a mournful cry, trying to break free of its chains and return to its original form.

But, it's too late!

Bai Qian's huge mouth closed!
"Snap... Pfft!"

The sickening sound of bones cracking and flesh being forcibly torn apart and devoured filled the air.

Bai Qian bit off most of the three-zhang-tall, loose immortal body of the Crimson Python, along with the remaining protective immortal light on its body.

He let out a bloodcurdling scream, his limbs thrashing wildly, and his immense magical power erupted outwards like an out-of-control volcano, trying to force open Bai Qian's gaping maw.

However, once the Devouring Heaven Divine Power is activated, especially when it is used at such close range, its power is terrifying.

Bai Qian's sharp canines clenched tightly, and the moonlight of the moon, like billions of cold needles, surged wildly into the body of the Crimson Python through the wound, freezing its magic power and tearing its meridians.

Even more terrifying is the vortex within that giant maw, whose devouring power affects not only matter but also magic and the soul.

The Crimson Python felt its primordial spirit and dharma form being pulled by an invisible, immense force, about to break free from its sea of ​​consciousness and plunge into that eternal darkness.

"Explode it!"

The Crimson Python sensed its magic power rapidly diminishing and its Dharma form being torn apart. A madness and ruthlessness flashed in its eyes, and it actually wanted to self-destruct its immortal body and part of its Dharma form in order to severely injure Bai Qian and gain a chance to live.

"Hmph! Trying to self-destruct? Did you even ask me?"

Wu Tian, ​​who had been watching from the sidelines, finally seized the opportunity. The Supreme Clarity Immortal Light poured down like a tidal wave, and the power of time contained within it caused the Crimson Python's body and Dharma form to suddenly freeze.

It was that brief pause that caused the problem!

Wu Tian's body suddenly shot out, transforming into his true form, and then swelled in the wind, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall giant dog, his eyes gleaming with fierce malice.

"Tengu swallows the sun!"

"Click..."

He and Bai Qian simultaneously tore at the immortal's physical form and body, and a series of chilling swallowing sounds rang out.

The Crimson Python's struggles came to an abrupt halt, and its broken, scattered immortal body was swallowed whole by the couple! Only a small portion of its dissipated magical power transformed into a crimson rain of light, bursting forth from between its teeth.

"Do not--!!!"

A sharp shriek filled with resentment and bitterness faintly emanated from Bai Qian's closed jaws, before falling completely silent.

The world seemed to fall silent for a moment.

The Crimson Python Dharma Form, which was wrestling with Yinshan, let out a deafening wail the moment the Crimson Python's main body was devoured. Its massive body twisted and swelled violently, becoming extremely unstable.

"You're about to die, and you still want to struggle?"

The Black Mountain Demon roared, and Yin Mountain crashed down, with countless Netherworld incantations lighting up and pressing down hard on the Crimson Python's Dharma Image.

At the same time, the countless nether chains tightened suddenly, like countless black pythons, fiercely constricting into the body of the Dharma Image.

Bai Qian also quickly activated her Devouring Heaven Divine Power, and the radiant light of the bright moon phenomenon shone brightly. She used the power of the Taiyin Origin to forcefully suppress and refine the remains and Dharma form of the Crimson Python that she had swallowed.

Her massive body trembled slightly from the intense internal conflict, and the silver hair on her body stood on end, clearly indicating that digesting a rogue immortal was no easy task.

The power of a wandering immortal does not lie in their true form.

Its powerful origin lies in the Dharma form.

The cultivation of Dharma Forms is based on the primordial spirit. After various supernatural powers are cultivated to their extremes, the resulting phenomena merge and eventually merge into one's own Dao field, and are born from the Dao field.

As long as the temple remains intact, the Dharma form will not perish, and the wandering immortals will never die.

To kill a wandering immortal, one must sever their true body, destroy their Dharma form, and destroy their Daoist temple. Otherwise, given enough time and resources, they can eventually be reborn from their Daoist temple.

"When I return, I will make sure you are all utterly annihilated and die without a burial place..."

The crimson python's avatar let out a final, tragic cry, its eyes losing all light. The avatar began to shatter inch by inch, devoured by the two dogs, and finally broke apart completely, transforming into a shower of light that danced in the sky.

Hey!
The eight mighty and unparalleled divine fire dragons simultaneously let out a mournful cry. Their enormous bodies, having lost their energy support, began to rapidly collapse and dissipate, reverting to the purest essence.

As the pressure from Yinshan eased, it crashed down, suppressing the remains of the Crimson Python and its shattered Dharma form beneath the mountain. Endless Netherworld energy surged in, carrying out its final obliteration.

A powerful immortal, whose true form and Dharma body perished.

Even if the temple is not destroyed, it will be a hundred years before the Dharma form can be reconstituted.

The battlefield was dead silent.

Only the lingering ghostly aura of Yinshan Mountain and the still-burning heat in the air testified to how fierce and earth-shattering the battle had just taken place.

Bai Qian's enormous body undulated slightly as she panted, opening her mouth to swallow the strange phenomenon of the bright moon, quickly digesting the Dharma form and the body of the scattered immortal she had just devoured.

Wu Tian was doing the same. He pushed the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun Divine Power to its limit, devouring the essence, energy, and spirit of his fallen enemies to continuously replenish his own mana. The scattered immortal dharma image he had just devoured also greatly benefited the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun Divine Power, and its progress was increasing at an alarming rate.

5%, 7%, 10%...

The Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun Divine Power is now at the eleventh rank. According to the normal cultivation progress, it can only increase by one percent every ten days or so, and it will take about three years to reach the twelfth rank.

But now that he has devoured the avatar of a wandering immortal, the progress bar has suddenly increased dramatically.

After Wu Tian roughly sensed it, he figured that once he had fully digested all the gains, the progress of the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun Divine Power should be able to increase to about fifty percent.

It must be said that while this pace of improvement is rapid, it is also far too extravagant and insane.

How many loose immortals are there in this world who can devour the Dharma forms of loose immortals?

The two dragons and more than thirty guardian demon kings watching the battle all trembled in fear. It was extremely rare for a rogue immortal to have his true body and Dharma form destroyed.

Even though the Northwest battlefield was engulfed in bloodshed, no scattered immortals have fallen to this day, and even the number of primordial spirit immortals who have perished is extremely small.

But today, at Duanlong Ridge, eight primordial spirits perished, and a true form of a wandering immortal was also destroyed.

If word gets out, it will cause a sensation throughout the world.

Wu Tian and Bai Qian leaned together, their gazes fixed on the Yin Mountain. There, a figure shrouded in black robes sat atop the mountain, suppressing everything and dissipating the remaining scattered immortal energy.

"Thank you fellow Taoist for helping me."

Wu Tian swayed, transforming into a dog-headed human, and took the initiative to thank the Black Mountain Demon.

Without this person's help, he and Bai Qian could at most force the Crimson Python back; destroying its true form and Dharma form would have been virtually impossible.

When the Black Mountain Demon spoke, his voice was hoarse and obscure, like a decaying skeleton buried underground for millions of years, sending chills down one's spine.

"The reason I took action today is firstly because I have a long-standing grudge against the Vulcan Palace. I hate them to the bone and wish I could kill them as soon as possible."

"Secondly, we have a karmic connection. Years ago, you pulled out the ancient arrow that shot down the sun and saved my wife and children. I cannot fail to repay such a great kindness."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian immediately recalled the child he had found deep in the pool and the female corpse he had discovered beneath the bottomless cave of Trapped Sky Mountain. At the time, he had sensed that pulling out these two ancient arrows would bring unexpected opportunities, but he never imagined that they would befall the Black Mountain Demon.

The Black Mountain Demon made no attempt to conceal anything and recounted the events of that time in detail.

“Back then, the Vulcan Palace tried to force me to submit by threatening my wife and children, but I refused. So they used the ancient arrow that shot down the sun to kill my wife and children.”

"By chance, I obtained a letter from Yama, and after burning it, I shielded myself from cause and effect, severed the past, and made the whereabouts of the two ancient arrows that shot down the sun and my wife and children completely disappear from the world."

"Neither the Vulcan Palace nor I myself can find the whereabouts of those two ancient arrows that shot down the sun, nor my wife and children."

"Unless you witness it with your own eyes, it's extremely difficult to find it using any supernatural powers or magic..."

Although his tone was calm, he could not hide his overwhelming hatred as he spoke. He was able to barely protect himself by relying on the special nature of his body and survive under the coercion of the Fire God Palace.

However, he could not protect his wife and children, and he could not even retrieve their bodies and souls. He could only use this method to make the Fire God Palace lose control of his wife and children.

If someone manages to discover them by chance and pull out the ancient arrow, they will know instantly and be able to bring their wife and children back.

Perhaps, by virtue of his unique ability to communicate with the underworld, he could bring them back to life.

This elaborate and troublesome approach is undeniably tragic.

But it was the only thing he could do when facing a behemoth like the Vulcan Palace.

Now that the cause and effect had been explained, Wu Tian and Bai Qian were much less wary of this demon immortal.

After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. It's not normal for such a powerful demon king to suddenly appear and fight alongside them against a rogue immortal.

Bai Qian then transformed into human form, concealing her strange phenomena, and slowly said, "The Fire God Palace ambushed my husband and me. This is an irreconcilable feud. If you are willing, we can join forces to attack the Fire God Palace."

The Black Mountain Demon nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Wu Tian and Bai Qian exchanged a glance, both feeling delighted. With such a powerful demon immortal by their side, their chances of establishing themselves in the Southern Frontier were much greater.

As the three demon kings were talking, Wu Tian's expression suddenly changed, and his Heavenly Eye opened on its own, revealing a ray of golden light and displaying a scene.

"not good……"

Wu Tian's face was grim. The joy he felt from fighting the Loose Immortal and improving his cultivation vanished instantly. The painting pulled him back into his original predicament, forcing him to confront the troubles Bai Yaochen was causing.

He instinctively grabbed Bai Qian's hand, his tone heavy with suppressed emotion and struggle.

“Qianqian, Chen’er… he is very likely the reincarnation of that Buddha.”

Bai Qian, whose bloodstains were still wet, was stunned upon hearing this. Her pupils instantly shrank to slits, and she stared intently at him.

"What did you say?"

Wu Tian could hardly meet her gaze; it felt as if a heavy boulder was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

“I don’t want to believe it either, but when you were fighting that rogue immortal just now, Chen’er was surrounded by Buddhist light, the sun was rising, and golden lotuses were blooming.”

"I'm afraid it won't be long before a Buddhist master descends to guide him into Buddhism."

Bai Qian's pupils instantly turned pure silver, and she unconsciously let out a bark. Her two fluffy dog ​​ears stood up, and the fur on her tail bristled.

"Bai Long'er, I absolutely disagree with handing Chen'er over to the Buddhist sect."

Wu Tian lowered his head slightly and looked at the infant in his arms. The little guy was still fast asleep, but his daughter had already woken up and was stroking Bai Yaochen's ears with her tail, as if trying to wake him up.

"How could I possibly want that?"

He took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "But the old Taoist priest told me..."

"If Chen'er converts to Buddhism, he will kill me first, and then kill Chen'er."

At this point, a bitter smile appeared on his face. "Tell me, what should I do?"

Before the words were finished, a Buddha's light suddenly rose from the west, and boundless light swept across the sky and the earth, arriving at Duanlong Ridge in the blink of an eye.

"Amitabha."

A peaceful, melodious Buddhist chant, seemingly resonating deep within everyone's soul, descended without warning.

The Buddhist chant was not loud, but it carried an indescribable ancient charm. The chaotic and violent energy of heaven and earth, which had been caused by the fierce battle, seemed to be gently soothed by an invisible hand and became docile.

The murderous aura and bloody smell that filled the air seemed to be replaced by a faint sandalwood fragrance.

Above Duanlong Ridge, boundless light converged and condensed into a giant, sacred lotus.

The lotus slowly rotated, scattering soft and bright golden Buddhist light, illuminating this devastated world.

A white-robed Bodhisattva arrived, stepping on a jeweled lotus, his body enveloped in boundless Buddha light. Behind his head, a golden wheel of merit slowly turned, illuminating the universe and purifying all defilement and external demons.

It is precisely the Bodhisattva of Buddhism, Avalokiteshvara.

Her gaze first swept over the chaotic battlefield below, then passed over Bai Qian and the Black Mountain Demon, who were on high alert and ready to fight, and over the bewildered demons below, before finally landing on Wu Tian.

More accurately, it landed on the cub in Wu Tian's arms—Bai Yaochen.

Her originally indifferent and cold gaze softened, and she slowly spoke, "My Buddha Dharma form was originally meant to attain enlightenment in the Northwest Ling Mountain thirty-six years later and establish the Ling Mountain Mahayana Buddhism."

"Now that cause and effect are intertwined, the great sun shines upon the mortal world, and this is known to all people."

“If I continue to stay by your side, I will surely suffer a terrible disaster.”

"Now that he has exhausted his worldly ties, he should leave the sea of ​​suffering in the mortal world and return to the lotus throne in the Pure Land."

Her voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable grand aspiration, as if she were expounding a universal truth.

"Today, this humble monk has come to guide... the reincarnated body of Buddha to return."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her fair and jade-like hand and gently beckoned to Bai Yaochen in Wu Tian's arms.

A gentle yet boundless light, capable of inspiring all beings to take refuge and all things to worship, instantly enveloped Wu Tian and the cub in his arms.

"You two have this affinity with Buddhism. Would you like to take refuge in the Buddha? From now on, you can plant a lotus platform in the Pure Land of Mount Sumeru, where you will live forever in bliss and immortality."

Wu Tian and Bai Qian were immediately greeted by a continuous stream of Buddhist chants.

"Are you willing to take refuge in the Buddha?"

"Would you be willing to take refuge in the Buddha?"

"I take refuge in the Buddha."

……

A dazzling and brilliant Buddha light filled the heavens and earth, engulfing the couple and their two infants in their arms.

Even the Black Mountain Demon couldn't escape, all enveloped in the Buddha's light. (End of Chapter)
