Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The wind at Duanlong Ridge suddenly became still.

It was like the calm before a storm.

"Ow!"

A roar that ripped through the sky shattered the deathly silence.

Suddenly, the phantom of a colossal creature burst forth from Wu Tian's Taiqing Dharma Pearl inner core, hurtling straight towards the great sun in the sky.

That was none other than a sun-devouring celestial dog!
It was a full 120 feet tall, majestic as a mountain, and covered in snow-white fur.

It opened its enormous maw, flames burning between its iron teeth, its dark eyes filled with greed and ferocity, and its sharp claws slicing through the air with a hissing sound that made one's teeth ache.

This celestial dog form is not a physical entity of flesh and blood. Rather, it is a strange phenomenon that was born from the complete shattering of the seed of the Sun-Devouring Celestial Dog divine power within Wu's inner elixir, which merged and resonated with the unseen laws of heaven and earth.

As the extraordinary phenomenon occurred, a golden halo, purely composed of countless intricate incantations, appeared above the inner core.

These incantations twisted, coiled, and wriggled like living creatures, eventually weaving together to form a vivid "Heavenly Dog Swallowing the Sun" image, imprinted within the halo.

Once the pattern was formed, the halo became completely stable, transforming into a solid golden ring that swirled around the inner core and rotated slowly.

"boom!"

High above, the true, eternally burning sun seemed to be drawn down, cascading a pure golden waterfall of light.

This waterfall of light is the ultimate condensation of the sun's essence; golden light pours down like a celestial river, continuously flowing into the golden halo.

Under the infusion of this immense power, the inner core trembled violently, then burst forth with an unprecedentedly intense light. Golden light surged like a tidal wave, filling all directions and illuminating the entire Broken Dragon Ridge as if it were cast in gold.

The inner elixir itself expands and contracts in a mysterious and profound way, resonating deeply with the great sun in the distant starry sky. With each breath, it absorbs and releases boundless solar energy.

As Wu Tian's thoughts stirred, the golden ring vibrated, and the enormous Sun-Devouring Celestial Dog phenomenon seemed to awaken completely from its slumber. Carrying immense power that communicated with the laws of heaven and earth, it pounced out and fiercely bit the suspended sun.

The celestial dog swallowing the sun perfectly matches the name of this supernatural power.

Ding! System notification: Your Twelfth-Rank Divine Power Seed, Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun, has transformed into the Twelfth-Rank Divine Power Phenomenon, Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun. Please check the details yourself.

Sun-Devouring Celestial Dog: A twelfth-grade supernatural phenomenon. With a thought, it can communicate with the sun and transform it into a Sun-Devouring Celestial Dog. It devours the heavens and the earth, is indestructible, fierce and greedy, and unparalleled in battle.

Thus, relying on the extraordinary phenomenon of the Sun-Swallowing Heavenly Dog, Wu Tian finally broke through the barrier of realm, awakened his innate divine power, and officially joined the ranks of great demon kings who were comparable to primordial spirit immortals.

However, the changes in his body did not stop; on the contrary, the appearance of the celestial dog swallowing the sun triggered an even more violent chain reaction.

A golden ring illuminates the inner elixir, absorbing and exhaling the golden light of the great sun.

As the Heavenly Dog Divine Ring rotated, it immediately crushed the other supernatural seeds within the inner core, causing them to lose their stability and begin to disintegrate and transform.

This is the inevitable result of a breakthrough in cultivation.

Once a supernatural power is generated and the body is protected by a divine halo, it will crush other supernatural power seeds, forcing them to transform as well.

If the progress of other supernatural power seeds is not yet complete, they will directly fall in grade and give rise to supernatural phenomena.

If the seed of supernatural power is of insufficient quality and foundation, it will be directly crushed by the divine ring, turning into light and merging into the inner core and the extraordinary phenomena.

At this moment, as the divine ring rotated, the four divine power seeds—Yin Wind, Divine Thunder, Heavenly River Sword Qi, and Samadhi True Fire—which had just broken through to the eleventh rank, began to shatter one by one.

When the grade regresses to the tenth grade of perfection, it begins to manifest supernatural powers and phenomena.

"Boom~~"

A soft sound, like a bubble bursting, echoed in the soul.

The Yin Wind Divine Power Seed shattered first, and countless dark incantations containing the Dao of the Netherworld and Death surged out. They seemed to have come to life, frantically intertwining and entwining, and finally transforming into a dark halo with blurred edges that seemed to be able to devour light.

Within the halo, the incantations appeared and disappeared unpredictably, faintly revealing the image of a demon god with three heads, six arms, a blue face, and fangs.

The demon roared to the sky, its malevolent aura sweeping in all directions and stirring up the yin wind.

Driven by Wu Tian's mind, the ghost eagerly leaped out from the dark halo.

However, the moment it appeared, the omnipresent, all-purifying golden light of the sun scorched it like a red-hot iron.

"Chucky!"

The demon's solid body, hundreds of feet long, was like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, instantly emitting thick, billowing blue smoke. It was in so much pain that its three faces twisted at the same time, baring its teeth and emitting a shrill scream.

It hurriedly shrank back and hid behind the enormous figure of the Sun-Devouring Heavenly Dog. Its three heads danced wildly, spewing out bone-corroding yin wind, filthy ghostly energy, and deathly decay energy respectively. The three forces intertwined to form dark clouds, struggling to resist the all-pervasive radiance of the great sun's golden light.

Although Wu Tian's physical body was shattered, he still received a system notification the moment the three-headed, six-armed demonic form appeared.

Ding! System notification: Your eleventh-grade supernatural power seed, Yin Feng, has been transformed into a tenth-grade perfect supernatural power seed, giving rise to the tenth-grade supernatural power phenomenon of a three-headed, six-armed ghost god. Please check the details yourself.

Three-headed, six-armed demonic form: A tenth-rank supernatural phenomenon, capable of communicating with the underworld with a single thought, transforming into a three-headed, six-armed demonic being, traversing both the realms of Yin and Yang, flying through the sky and escaping underground, possessing immense strength, devouring souls and spirits, a taboo for all living beings.

However, this was only the beginning. As the three-headed, six-armed demon appeared, other supernatural seeds were also shattered one after another, giving rise to various strange phenomena.

"Crack!"

The Divine Thunder Seed shattered instantly, exploding into countless leaping bolts of lightning, each containing densely packed incantations.

These lightning incantations were incredibly violent, attracting and converging with each other, eventually coalescing into a single whip—the Nine Heavens Thunder Whip—formed entirely of dazzling lightning.

The whip was surrounded by lightning, with countless tiny thunder talismans flickering. With a gentle shake, it exploded with thousands of thunderous sounds, radiating boundless divine power to punish evil and subdue demons.

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly River Sword Qi Seed quietly disintegrated, transforming into a sky full of clear, water-like sword light.

These sword lights swiftly outlined a scroll of celestial river and sky.

As the scroll unfurled slightly, the roar of a surging river echoed from within. Streams of incomparably sharp sword energy poured out from the edges of the scroll like waterfalls, cutting and shattering the void wherever they passed.

If any living being is caught in the picture, with just a shake of the scroll, it will be ground into the finest dust by the endless, surging sword energy, its soul scattered, its body extinguished, and its path to immortality extinguished.

Finally, the seed of Samadhi True Fire exploded with a roar, and flames surged forth.

As this seed evolved into an extraordinary phenomenon, it resonated in an extremely subtle way with the ancient arrow that shot down the sun, which had fallen into silence due to exhaustion of its power, deep within Wu Tian's inner core.

As if touched by some ancient Tao and principle, the seed of Samadhi True Fire supernatural power, drawn by the ancient arrow's energy, frantically gathered and compressed, eventually transforming into a blazing golden bow with an ancient shape and a wild and untamed aura.

The Fiery Golden Bow is branded with countless complex and ancient flame incantations, and the bowstring is made entirely of highly condensed Samadhi True Fire, which is extremely hot. Even a slight tremor causes ripples in the surrounding space.

The longbow requires no arrows; simply draw it, and a golden arrow of blazing fire will automatically condense on the bowstring.

Where the arrow pointed, a fierce and sharp light, capable of shooting down nine suns and tearing apart the sky, soared into the heavens, firmly locking onto the great sun of Buddhism in the center of the battlefield.

As Wu Tian's cultivation broke through, various strange phenomena emerged one by one, and the encirclement and killing of that great sun immediately began to change.

Led by the Sun-Devouring Celestial Dog, four extraordinary phenomena followed closely behind: the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Ghost God, the Nine Heavens Thunder Whip, the Azure River Map, and the Fiery Golden Bow, all working together to kill the great sun.

The Sun-Devouring Heavenly Dog tore at the sun with ferocious bites, each bite ripping off large swaths of golden light and flames from the sun and swallowing them whole, its aura growing ever more ferocious.

The three-headed, six-armed demon hid in the back, its three heads roaring wildly. The yin wind, ghostly energy, and death aura it spewed out, although restrained by the golden light, effectively polluted and eroded the sun's brilliance, making it no longer so pure and dazzling.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Whip was powerful and heavy. With one lash, thunder and lightning exploded, accompanied by the power to collapse the sky. The golden light of the great sun shattered, and flames flew everywhere. The thunder and lightning collided with the golden light of the flames, bursting out a dazzling rain of light.

The Azure Sky River Map trembled, and sword light surged down like a waterfall, endlessly transforming into a torrent of sword energy that seemed poised to completely engulf the great sun.

The Fiery Golden Bow was even more extraordinary. When drawn to its fullest extent, the ancient arrow, which had fallen silent due to excessive power consumption, suddenly shot out from its inner core with a "whoosh," fitting perfectly onto the bowstring. "Whoosh—!"

The Fiery Golden Bow was slowly drawn open by an invisible hand. Flame incantations lit up one by one on the bow. The golden Fiery Arrow on the bowstring merged with the ancient arrow that shot the sun. Golden light and raging flames intertwined, and a fierce aura that could eclipse the sun and moon and cause stars to fall locked onto the great sun, ready to be unleashed.

Wu Tian's Taiqing Dharma Pearl inner elixir already had five divine rings surrounding it. The five-colored halos of black, white, gold, silver, and red rotated, connecting heaven and earth. The principles of Dharma gathered into rosy light, transforming into auspicious clouds that lifted it up.

Under the pressure of these five divine rings, according to common sense, any seed of supernatural power would shatter, resonate with heaven and earth, and give rise to supernatural phenomena.

If the quality and foundation of the supernatural seed are insufficient, it will collapse directly.

However, at this moment, even under the crushing force of the Five Divine Rings, the Taiqing Immortal Light Seed and the Tongtian Dharma Eye Seed remained floating in the inner core, unmoved and at ease, showing no signs of advancement, transformation, or collapse.

Just as Wu Tian calmed down, he heard Bai Qian's trembling voice.

"No, Bai Long'er, don't kill him!"

Bai Qian finally came to her senses amidst the series of unexpected events. Her long silver hair flew up and danced wildly, her eyes filled with ferocity and madness, and the twelve-petaled bright moon phenomenon behind her unfolded once more.

However, this time the enemy is Wu Tian.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, its gentle light omnipresent.

Every ray of moonlight transformed into the Taiyin God-Slaying Slash, capable of severing the soul, eroding cultivation, and shortening lifespan.

The moonlight blanketed the sky, like a million blades falling.

Just as Bai Qian made her move, the Fiery Golden Bow, made from the ancient arrow that shot down the sun, had already reached its maximum power.

On the bowstring, the Golden Blazing Fire Arrow and the Ancient Arrow that Shoots the Sun merged completely, transforming into an arrow that was refined to the extreme, containing terrifying sharpness and fierce aura.

"Boom!"

The bowstring twanged, accompanied by a sharp, piercing shriek that seemed to tear the soul apart.

The arrow disappeared.

Its speed exceeded the limits of what the eye could capture, transforming into a streak of light that stretched across the sky.

Wherever it passed, it left a black mark in the void that burned with golden flames and could not be healed for a long time.

It's like a scar appearing in the sky.

"Pfft!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no clash of supernatural powers.

That ancient arrow pierced through the great sun with such decisiveness and absolute precision.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

In the center of the great sun, where the arrow had pierced through, the brilliant golden light quickly dimmed and vanished like shattered glass, revealing a small, curled-up puppy.

Its eyes were closed, and a shocking hole pierced through its chest and abdomen on its small body.

Blood gushed out, staining its originally snow-white chest fur red.

The arrow, formed by the fusion of the ancient arrow that shot down the sun and supernatural phenomena, did not dissipate. Instead, it acted like the cruelest instrument of torture, pinning him alive to the void.

The remaining fierce edge on the arrow continues to erode its last bit of vitality and spiritual essence.

Its small body twitched slightly, as if it could still feel the extreme pain that pierced through its soul and body, but it could no longer utter a mournful cry.

"Do not!!!"

Bai Qian let out a heart-wrenching, piercing scream.

She watched helplessly as her beloved son was pierced by an arrow; the sight was like a million steel needles simultaneously piercing her heart and soul.

Just then, the Sun-Devouring Heavenly Dog phenomenon, which had been relentlessly biting at the sun and constantly devouring its power, seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Roar!"

The Sun-Devouring Heavenly Dog roared, opened its massive maw, and lunged forward to swallow.

The great sun, along with the puppy pierced by the ancient arrow within it, was swallowed whole.

Then the celestial dog transformed into a golden light and leaped into the inner core.

All other strange phenomena also disappeared.

Only the spinning inner core remained suspended in mid-air, its five divine rings rotating, crushing, sealing, and devouring the Buddha image that had been pinned down by the ancient arrow that shot down the sun.

At this moment, the moonlight poured down like a tide.

It completely submerged the inner core.

Wu Tian sighed softly, and his inner core released a clear glow, freezing the moonlight for a moment.

Then it disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already dozens of feet away.

A gentle moonlight shone down, and the dog-headed, human-bodied form was re-formed.

"Qianqian..."

He had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Bai Qian's cold and fierce voice.

"Don't call me that."

Bai Qian slowly closed her eyes. The strange phenomenon of the bright moon dissipated, the billions of moon blades disappeared, and her long, silver hair, like a waterfall, fell over her shoulders.

"From this day forward, our ties are severed, and we shall go our separate ways."

"Don't let me see you again."

"otherwise……"

She paused slightly, then turned her back to Wu Tian.

"I'm afraid I might not be able to resist killing you!"

Before she finished speaking, she tightened her arms around her daughter and left without looking back.

They didn't even dare to stay for another second.

I dared not look back even once more.

Wu Tian watched her trembling figure as she left, clenching his fists tightly, unable to utter a single word.

He could only desperately operate the five divine rings to wear down and suppress the Buddha's image. With each rotation of the divine rings, strands of golden light were knocked away.

The magical power within his body increased accordingly.

The two divine power seeds, the Heavenly Eye and the Supreme Clarity Immortal Light, were also greedily absorbing the golden light, their progress increasing at a visible rate. (End of Chapter)
