Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The three levels of the Primordial Spirit each contain profound Dao and principles, a path pioneered by our predecessors and sages.

The first level of the primordial spirit, the divine halo, is a special product formed when the seed of supernatural power is shattered, resonates with the laws of heaven and earth, and unites with the heaven and man.

The divine ring contains supernatural powers and principles, enabling communication with heaven and earth, refining magical power, and polishing the primordial spirit and inner core. It is a manifestation of the Taoist cultivation of a primordial spirit immortal.

Each divine ring represents a supernatural power and one's own level of cultivation.

The cultivation and refinement of the divine ring is a lesson that every Primordial Spirit True Person and Great Demon King must adhere to from beginning to end.

To break through to the Nascent Soul stage, one's Divine Power Seed must be at least Grade Four.

The divine ring formed by the fourth-grade divine power can only bear 400 years of magical power, representing the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, that is, the cultivation level, which is four hundred years.

This divine ring is known as the Four Hundred Year Divine Ring.

The next stage of cultivation involves continuously communicating with heaven and earth, comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, and replenishing the divine ring.

Through tireless refinement and comprehension, constantly replenishing his foundation, the divine ring gradually became perfect, capable of bearing a thousand years of magical power and possessing a thousand years of cultivation.

The Millennium Divine Ring can give rise to supernatural phenomena and allow one to enter the second level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Therefore, the higher the grade of the supernatural seed, the less time will be consumed in the first level of the divine environment.

For those who have cultivated supernatural abilities of grade ten or higher, a breakthrough allows them to condense a millennium divine ring, create extraordinary phenomena, and step into the second stage of primordial spirit cultivation.

Those cultivators with insufficient foundation and inferior supernatural abilities often spend hundreds of years, or even a lifetime, trying to perfect their divine rings and forge a thousand-year divine ring.

The reason why true prodigies can differentiate themselves from the older generation of cultivators is determined from the very quality of their divine ability seeds.

Wu Tianhua's five divine power seeds, Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun, reached the twelfth grade, while Yin Wind, Divine Thunder, Heavenly River Sword Qi, and Samadhi True Fire reached the tenth grade.

Therefore, upon his breakthrough, he possessed a divine ring that was 1,200 years old and four divine rings that were 1,000 years old.

The five divine rings simultaneously coalesced into a strange phenomenon, marking the beginning of the second realm.

This is also one of the important reasons why he was able to use the Ancient Arrow of Shooting the Sun to suppress the reincarnation of Buddha after his breakthrough in cultivation.

As soon as he broke through, his magical power and supernatural abilities surged, far surpassing those of ordinary newly promoted cultivators.

The five supernatural powers and phenomena were simply unbelievably powerful.

At this moment, with a thought from Wu Tian, ​​the system panel appeared before his eyes.

Name: Bai Long'er
Age: 20
True Form: Sun-Eating Heavenly Dog

Realm: Great Demon King
Inner Alchemy: Taiqing Dharma Pearl

Taoist practice: 1200 years

Mana: 1230/5200
Skill points: 0
Divine Rings: Heavenly Dog Devours the Sun (1200 years), Yin Wind (1000 years), Divine Thunder (1000 years), Heavenly River Sword Qi (1000 years), Samadhi True Fire (1000 years)
Supernatural Powers and Phenomena: Sun-devouring Celestial Dog, Three-Headed, Six-Armed Demonic Form, Nine Heavens Thunder Whip, Azure Sky River Map, Fiery Golden Bow
Seeds of Supernatural Powers: 30% for the Supreme Clarity Immortal Light (Rank 12); 30% for the Heavenly Eye (Rank 11)
Wu Tian carefully studied the system panel. Upon entering the Great Demon King realm, the most obvious change was the addition of divine rings and supernatural phenomena.

Each divine ring represents a supernatural power, a path to comprehend the universe, and the cultivator's progress on that path.

The 1200-year-old divine ring represents 1200 years of cultivation and can bear 1200 years of magical power.

Having multiple divine rings does not allow one to accumulate more cultivation, because cultivation is also related to lifespan, and the mysteries involved are difficult to fully explain.

However, apart from cultivation level and lifespan, possessing multiple divine rings allows for the stacking of magical power.

For those who have cultivated multiple supernatural abilities, each divine ring can independently carry magical power, which is equivalent to increasing their magical power several times over.

Wu Tian possesses five divine rings. Apart from the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun Divine Ring, which can bear 1,500 years of magical power, the other four divine rings can each bear 1,000 years of magical power.

Once he has filled all the magical power contained in the five divine rings, he will possess a total of 5,200 years of magical power.

This caused his combat ability and duration to increase dramatically.

Especially now, with the five divine rings continuously communicating with heaven and earth to replenish his magical power, coupled with the erasure of the Buddha's reincarnation, his magical power increases by almost a year with every breath.

It won't be long before we can completely replenish the five divine rings.

When the 5,200 years of magical power are unleashed, extraordinary phenomena will surely shake the heavens and the earth.

Wu Tian was not pleased with the rapid increase in his magical power, because behind this speed of growth was his son's pain and torment.

He focused his attention on supernatural phenomena, which became the focus of his future cultivation.

“Supernatural phenomena are the various outward manifestations of one’s own understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and the resonance with heaven and earth, representing one’s own cultivation and achievements.”

"Only the Millennium Divine Ring can produce extraordinary phenomena."

"There are two aspects to the practice of extraordinary phenomena."

"The first is still to polish the divine ring. The older the divine ring is and the more profound its cultivation, the more powerful the supernatural powers and phenomena it can display will be."

"However, once you reach the Millennium Divine Ring, it becomes much more difficult to refine and improve it compared to before. Even a Nascent Soul True Person would often need more than ten years to improve the Divine Ring's lifespan by just one year if they were to sit in their cave and refine it."

"The second is the battle of magic. Through constant battles of magic, when supernatural powers clash, the resonance between the phenomena and the heavens and earth will deepen. After each battle, the lifespan of the divine ring can be greatly increased."

Wu Tian had thoroughly studied the 36,000 volumes of Taoist scriptures at Taiqing Temple, and had an extremely clear understanding of the path he would take in his future cultivation.

"Although the three realms of the primordial spirit have been divided, the second stage of the phenomenon is fundamentally about refining the divine ring and increasing its lifespan."

"However, in the first stage, before any unusual phenomena occur, the best way to cultivate is to sit quietly in your cave and hone your skills day and night. Fighting will only waste your mana and will not benefit your cultivation or progress."

"Upon reaching the second realm, supernatural phenomena are born, and the connection and resonance between the primordial spirit and inner core and heaven and earth deepens. Fighting with these phenomena will further enhance the resonance with heaven and earth, thereby improving one's cultivation."

"Therefore, at this stage, one must travel the world and fight and struggle."

"Whether it's Master Zhu Yeshuang, or Qianqian, or the Black Mountain Demon, the reason they were able to make such a great name is because after cultivating to this stage, they traveled the world and asked questions in all directions."

"As long as one is strong enough, possesses profound supernatural abilities, and survives countless battles, one can naturally make great progress in cultivation and earn a renowned reputation."

Thinking of this, Wu Tian couldn't help but think of Bai Qian, one of the eight great demon immortals in the world, who had experienced countless battles back then.

He even killed a disciple of Zen Master Tianmeng, thus creating a karmic connection with Zen Master Tianmeng. This prompted the Buddhist Vajra to enter the Central Plains and challenge him at Xuantian Peak in order to resolve this karmic debt.

If it weren't for the protection of the Heavenly Capital Patriarch, the outcome would have been dire.

"Qianqian..."

He couldn't help but take another sip of Meng Qianqiu. After a period of intense, burning pain, he fell into a daze and vaguely saw Bai Qian again.

I saw her holding her daughter and smiling at me.

"Unfortunately, it was just a dream!"

After a long while, Wu Tian finally came back to his senses.

It's not the wine that intoxicates, it's the person who gets drunk; that's all.

It wasn't that the alcohol could actually make him feel dazed for so long, but rather that he was so immersed in it that he didn't want to wake up.

Since the reincarnation of Buddha has not yet been completely suppressed, he doesn't know why the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable didn't directly attack Bai Yaochen, but instead allowed him to swallow him and use the Ancient Arrow of the Sun and his supernatural powers to wear him down and refine him. There might be some intricacies and calculations involved, but he has no intention of investigating and is too lazy to think about it anymore.

"Through battles and refinement, when the divine ring is tempered to three thousand years, one can step into the third level of the primordial spirit realm and the Dao Scripture."

"For cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Path, they cultivate the fundamental techniques and combat techniques from the Refining Technique Realm. The Primordial Spirit itself is a product of the cultivation of essence, energy, spirit, and the fundamental techniques."

"After acquiring the three-thousand-year divine ring, one's understanding of heaven and earth reaches a certain level, and the primordial spirit phenomenon is the existence of one's own cultivation and magical power resonating with heaven and earth."

"At this time, by integrating the extraordinary phenomenon into the primordial spirit, one's own life essence can be transformed once again. The primordial spirit merging with the extraordinary phenomenon is equivalent to merging with the laws of heaven and earth. From this point on, one can be called a Dharma Aspect and break through to become a Loose Immortal."

Within Wu Tian's mind, numerous Daoist scriptures circulated, revealing all the secrets of cultivation in the primordial spirit realm.

"To merge the primordial spirit and the supernatural phenomena, one needs to comprehend the Daoist scriptures that perfectly suit oneself, harmonize the primordial spirit and the supernatural phenomena. Once one has comprehended the Daoist scriptures that are all one's own, one should imprint them on the divine ring. This step is considered to be the completion of cultivation."

"After that, one needs to rely on famous mountains and rivers, merge one's primordial spirit with heaven and earth, use heaven and earth as a furnace, and use the divine ring and Daoist scriptures as fire to burn the primordial spirit and strange phenomena, transform them into a Dharma form, and cultivate into a wandering immortal."

"However... the cultivation of the demon race does not have a third level."

He silently poured himself a drink. Demons do not have a primordial spirit; they only have an inner core formed by the convergence of bloodline, magical power, and their own essence and spirit.

From the Great Demon onwards, the demon race only cultivates combat techniques, and their bloodline is equivalent to the fundamental method of the human race's primordial spirit path.

When the divine ring had been polished for three thousand years.

The primordial spirit cultivated by the human race through the fundamental method resonates with the supernatural powers cultivated through the combat method. In addition, the Taoist scriptures created by themselves harmonize the internal and external, so that the essence, energy, spirit and Taoist practice are perfectly integrated.

Only in this way can one establish a Daoist temple in famous mountains and rivers and break through to become a wandering immortal.

However, the inner core of the demon race relies on bloodline.

Although the previous steps of the cultivation path had many similarities, this step led to two completely opposite directions.

The inner core of the demon race is fundamentally based on bloodline.

Forcibly integrating the divine halo phenomenon into one's bloodline will only cause the inner core to explode and the soul to be scattered.

Countless demon ancestors have traversed countless detours before finally forging the path of a demon saint who transforms his inner core into stars.

The Human Race's Primordial Spirit Path involves using extraordinary phenomena to cleanse the primordial spirit with the power of heaven and earth.

The demon race was even more violent, lifting their inner cores and soaring straight into the ninth heaven.

The inner elixir undergoes a baptism in the Nine Heavens, absorbing and exhaling the laws of heaven and earth, transforming into stars, thus achieving harmony with heaven and earth, illuminating the past, present, and future, and taking a further step forward.

This is comparable to the process by which humans harmonize their practices through multiple stages, including the establishment of Taoist temples in famous mountains and rivers, through Taoist scriptures, divine rings, unusual phenomena, and so on.

The demon race's step of transforming its inner core into a star was far too violent.

If one lacks sufficient foundation and strength, even if one's inner core reaches the ninth level of heaven, one will instantly be annihilated, one's soul will be scattered, and one's body and soul will perish.

There was absolutely no room for luck in this step; it was a matter of life or death.

To break through to this level requires far more foundation and strength than what is needed for a human Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even the eight great demon immortals of the world, such as Bai Qian and the Black Mountain Demon, whose strength surpasses that of human primordial spirit cultivators, are not very confident that they can break through to the Demon Saint level.

Why did the Black Mountain Demon spend thousands of years developing a fighting technique that perfectly suited him?

He had already cultivated his supernatural powers and phenomena to the extreme, and his combat skills were just icing on the cake, so why was he still so persistent?

Is it merely for the sake of the ethnic group?
of course not!

For the demon race, even a slight improvement in their own strength and foundation is crucial for breaking through to the Demon Saint realm.

The slightest difference can mean the difference between life and death when the inner elixir reaches the ninth heaven.

This is also why Bai Qian has always wanted to obtain the Taiqing Temple's Twelfth Grade Dao Embryo Method, the "Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture." After obtaining this Dao Scripture, which is compatible with the bloodline of the Howling Heavenly Dog, she will be able to further enhance her strength.

This kind of improvement in strength may not be particularly noticeable in combat.

However, it can refine one's inner core to be even more perfect and flawless.

Otherwise, if the inner core is not sufficiently developed and is flawed in its refinement, even the smallest loophole will be overwhelmed by the laws of heaven and earth when breaking through to the Demon Saint realm, causing the inner core to explode on the spot and the soul to be scattered.

Therefore, those who can break through to the level of Demon Saint are true prodigies from ancient times to the present, with extremely profound foundations. Whether it is bloodline, supernatural powers, cultivation, or magic power, they are all perfect and flawless.

Compared to humans breaking through to become Loose Immortals, it is ten times, or even a hundred times, more difficult for demons to break through to become Demon Saints.

Once a breakthrough is achieved, it's like a trapped dragon ascending to heaven, unstoppable.

Although Wu Tian has a system panel, he is, after all, a demon, and what he has condensed is an inner core. When he breaks through in the future, he will follow the path of a demon saint, not a human immortal.

He doesn't need to create his own Taoist scriptures, nor does he need to compete for famous mountains and rivers.

However, one needs to hone one's own foundation to an unprecedented peak, so that the inner core can soar straight to the ninth heaven, undergo the baptism of heaven and earth, merge with heaven and earth, and transform into stars.

Thus, it is born from the nurturing of heaven and earth.

He is a true born sage.

The path to becoming a Demon Saint is pure, violent, and arduous!
"For me, there are only two things to do."

Wu Tian poured Meng Qianqiu down his throat almost non-stop; only the burning pain could keep his mind clear and rational.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

"By constantly fighting, we can refine the divine ring and increase its lifespan."

"In addition, we must continue to study the combat techniques, create the most suitable combat techniques for ourselves, refine our inner core, and perfect our foundation so that our inner core is perfect and flawless, without any flaws or weaknesses."

"Battle Techniques..."

"In the past, Qianqian and I explored this together, but now I'm all alone!"

Wu Tian shook his head to free himself from that emotion. "We must fight. There is fighting everywhere in the world today."

"Let's start by attacking the Vulcan Palace."

“They ambushed me, Qianqian, and the children on the way. Their malicious intentions deserve my wrath. Killing them is the only way to quell my anger.”

"Today's calamity was also triggered by their ambush."

"These people all deserve to die!!"

Wu Tian's murderous intent towards the Fire God Palace was now uncontrollable.

"We'll contact the Black Mountain Demon and wipe him out completely."

"As long as one doesn't die, one can refine the divine ring and increase its lifespan." (End of Chapter)
