Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The Northwest battlefield was extremely brutal, filled with bloodshed and violence, where any mercy was a luxury.

On the Northwest battlefield, Chi Limu's naivety and innocence were completely erased.

In the past, she thought that cultivation meant seclusion, meditation, practicing sword techniques and magic, and traveling the world.

But the cruelty of the battlefield made her realize the true nature of this world.

Although during their trials of life and death, some of her fellow disciples developed feelings for her, and two of her senior brothers even expressed their love for her and wanted to become her Daoist partners.

However, under the influence of his master, Chi Limu's heart was extremely firm in his pursuit of the Dao, and he had no thoughts of romantic love.

But that little dog, Bai Long'er, who had once depended on her for survival, held an extremely special place in her heart, like family.

So when Chi Limu heard the news about Duanlong Ridge, she was quite unsettled. She couldn't imagine what had happened that would cause rumors to circulate on the Northwest battlefield that Bai Long'er had devoured her own child.

"My junior brother's son is very likely really dead."

"He also has to bear the infamy of killing his son."

"How much pain and sorrow he must have felt?"

Thinking of this, Chi Limu no longer hesitated and said to Zhu Yeshuang, "Master, the battle at Lishan has come to a temporary end, and I will find it difficult to intervene in the upcoming battle."

"I wish to travel to southern Xinjiang. Please grant my request, Master."

Chi Limu's words were completely unexpected by Zhu Yeshuang. She frowned slightly, "Now the Northwest battlefield is full of killing and warfare. With your mere cultivation at the Refining Realm, you have to cross 100,000 miles of land to reach the Southern Frontier. I don't know how many dangers you will encounter along the way."

Why go to such lengths?

She paused and continued, "Your junior brother is born with good fortune and is blessed with good luck. Even if he encounters some calamities, he can turn misfortune into good fortune."

"He has a very deep understanding of things; even I can't see through him."

"My cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds over the years, which even surprises me."

"The rumors and gossip circulating outside may be a kind of training for him."

"In this vast world, there is always cause and effect that cannot be escaped."

"As long as he can get through this hurdle, it will be beneficial and harmless to him."

"You should stay on the Northwest battlefield, hone your swordsmanship, and accumulate merit. There will be a time when we meet again in the future."

Chi Limu remained silent for a moment, then gripped the scabbard and said, "Now the whole world knows that my junior brother devoured his own child, and even his wife Bai Qian turned against him, abandoning him with their daughter."

"Though the world is vast now, there is no one to stand shoulder to shoulder with him."

"I cannot rest easy if I do not go."

Although her tone was soft, the firmness in her words left Zhu Yeshuang speechless.

Zhu Yeshuang truly hadn't expected that her disciple would have such deep feelings for that dog.

Upon hearing of his accident, even if it meant traversing tens of thousands of miles, enduring hardships and dangers, and even facing the risk of their lives, they would still travel to the southern border.

She was unsure of what to feel at that moment, feeling both gratified and somewhat annoyed. Her disciple was far too naive and kind.

For that dog, he traveled tens of thousands of miles, disregarding life and death, to find him.

"Since you want to go, I won't stop you."

“Those who cultivate themselves must have their own Daoist heart and will.”

"If you can travel 100,000 miles alone with your sword and reach the Southern Frontier, it will be an unprecedented experience for you."

"If we could meet your junior brother, it would be of immeasurable benefit to both our cultivation and our Dao heart."

"By the time you arrive in the southern border region, you will be ready to complete your apprenticeship."

After Zhu Yeshuang finished speaking, her tone softened slightly. She slowly got up from the couch and came to her disciple's side. She said in a somewhat solemn tone, "But you need to think this through carefully. This is no child's play. From the Northwest all the way to the Southern Frontier, the journey is too long. No one knows how many things might happen."

"Master, I have dedicated my entire life to cultivation, and all my supernatural abilities are contained in a single sword."

"In the first half of my life, I was the Ancient Sword Qingli; now I am the Fire Dragon Sword."

"Besides these two swords, I have no other protective magic items."

"The Qingli Sword has been passed on to you, and I am now stationed at Lishan, so I cannot move easily."

"If you are going to southern Xinjiang, I'm afraid I can't help you."

You really need to think this through...

Chi Limu lowered his head and slowly knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times to Zhu Yeshuang, "Master, your disciple is unfilial and has disappointed you."

"I must make a trip to the southern border."

"Even if I die, I will have no regrets?" Zhu Yeshuang looked at her disciple with complicated eyes, as if she saw her younger self in him.

Although the Red Wood appears delicate and is not good at speaking, it possesses a strong and resilient spirit.

They are often able to step up at the most critical moments.

Her fiery temper was not outwardly displayed, but rather hidden deep within her.

"I will die without regret!" Chi Limu said resolutely.

"Alright, she is my disciple, Zhu Yeshuang." Zhu Yeshuang reached out and helped Chi Limu up from the ground. Looking at her beautiful and graceful disciple, who was stunning even to her own eyes, a rare gentle smile appeared on her face.

She reached out and tidied up the slightly messy hair around Chi Limu'er's head, and then straightened her clothes, like a mother facing her daughter.

"Little Chili has grown up and has his own ideas now."

As she spoke, she touched Chi Limu's porcelain-white cheek with her hand, "You are very good, much better than Master expected."

"Whether it's qualifications, temperament, or character, they are all top-notch."

“You have never caused your master any worry. You are always very obedient and well-behaved. I have always felt that you lack a bit of strength in your bones.”

At this point, Zhu Yeshuang couldn't help but laugh, "Now it seems that I was wrong."

"You are clearly a child with a gentle exterior but a strong interior."

"Once you've made your decision, even I can't change it."

Seeing that Chi Limu's eyes were slightly red, as if she wanted to say something, Zhu Yeshuang took her hand and said with a light laugh, "You don't need to worry. I'm not one of those old-fashioned people who insist on respecting teachers and making you obey my every word and action."

"What good disciples can such an old-fashioned person teach? At best, they'll just be puppets who only know how to obey orders."

"What we cultivators need is a firm resolve to follow the path; wherever the path leads, we will go, even if it means facing thousands of enemies!"

"You can go against your conscience and be willing to cross 100,000 miles, even if you have to go through thousands of difficulties and dangers, without hesitation."

"This is already the true seed of my Taoism, the mind and nature of an immortal."

"Your master is proud of you."

Zhu Yeshuang's words came from the bottom of her heart. From the moment Chi Limu decided to go to the Southern Frontier, her original purpose was no longer important.

In ancient times, this would have been called the arising of the Daoist mind. This journey of ten thousand miles in the southern borderlands would have been called the path to enlightenment.

If she successfully reaches the Southern Frontier, her cultivation will surely soar to new heights, which will greatly benefit her future ascension to immortality.

Taiqing Temple has too many disciples with outstanding talents, and there are quite a few with various Dao bodies, but how many of them can become loose immortals?
Zhu Yeshuang had previously thought that Chi Limu had the potential to cultivate a primordial spirit, but to say that she could become a rogue immortal was still extremely difficult and depended on her own future fortune.

But today, Chi Limu's words and actions made her truly feel that her disciple was a true immortal being.

This kind of temperament is even more resilient than when she was young, and she has become more composed and steady.

This female disciple, who was cold and taciturn in front of outsiders, finally began to show her own sharpness.

Of course, all of this is just the beginning. It is not enough for one's heart to simply develop a Daoist mind. If one retreats when encountering difficulties and obstacles on the way, or if one's methods are insufficient or one's fortune is lacking, and one dies and one's Dao is extinguished, that is one's own destiny.

Once you overcome this hurdle, the sky's the limit, and like a carp transforming into a dragon, you'll soar to the heavens, unstoppable.

Zhu Yeshuang pulled Chi Limu to the window, where they could clearly see Lishan Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

Lishan Mountain is serene and secluded, with high mountains and dense forests. It is also often cloudy and rainy. After the rain, the clouds and rosy hues surround it, as if a goddess is taking a bath, charming and beautiful, with indescribable charm.

The witch Qingli obtained a great opportunity on this mountain, cultivated the demonic path of the common people, and herded the masses. Although her attainment of enlightenment was short-lived, she has already become a great scourge.

Given time, as the population of Lishan increases, the cultivation level of the Qingli Witch will also rise accordingly. Her future potential is even more terrifying than that of the demon lords who have established forbidden areas.

Zhu Yeshuang had a premonition that if she killed this witch, her path to immortality would surely lead her to heaven, which would be the greatest opportunity of her life.

She pointed to Lishan Mountain not far away and said to Chilimu, "The ancient sword I passed on to you is called Qingli, the same name as that witch. I always felt that this was not a coincidence, and there must be some secret behind it."

"I have consulted my teachers and elders many times to calculate that the slaying of the Qingli witch will likely be related to this sword."

"However, this woman's luck has not run out. About ten years from now, there will be a strange phenomenon of a star appearing in broad daylight. At that time, her demonic arts will have a flaw, and she can be killed with the Qingli Ancient Sword."

"Shall we, master and disciple, make a ten-year agreement?"

"Ten years later, you and I, master and disciple, will meet at Lishan."

"See you there or not!"

Chi Limu could feel the coolness of her master's palm, as well as the expectation and worry in her tone.

Although Zhu Yeshuang didn't say a word of concern, how could she not worry about her female disciple whom she had watched grow up like a daughter?

She lowered her head slightly, concealing the reluctance and tears in her eyes, and said softly, "Okay, it's a deal."

"Ten years later, I met my master in Lishan."

"See you there or see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, an incomparably brilliant and dazzling flame burst forth from Chi Limu's body, instantly shooting straight into the sky, her entire body enveloped in a radiant fiery glow.

Zhu Yeshuang was not surprised to see this.

Chi Limu was born with a body of fire. He had an excellent temperament and was apprenticed to a famous master. He cultivated the top-level Dao Embryo Method and had been training in the Northwest for many years. He was already capable of breaking through, but he had not yet broken through because he was accumulating foundation and preparing to condense the seed of the most powerful supernatural ability.

However, for her, the Dao Embryo Realm was easily defeated. Now that she was going to travel 100,000 miles south, her Refining Law Realm cultivation was somewhat insufficient.

Now is the perfect time to break through to the Dao embryo stage.

Chi Limu circulated the "Nanming Lihuo Merit True Lord Method". The fundamental method of this method is called the Fire Virtue Method. The more merits one accumulates, the smoother the cultivation will be. Even the accumulated magical power will be different and will be called the Golden Light of Merit.

At this moment, the incomparably dazzling golden light of merit flowed like waves, enveloping his body, and three magic symbols floated in his mind's eye.

These three talismans are, respectively, the Golden Light Talisman of Merit condensed from the Fundamental Law, the Talisman of Blazing Sword Qi condensed from the Southern Bright Blazing Sword Technique, and the Crimson Cloud Protective Talisman naturally nurtured by one's own Dao body.

The body is protected by golden light of merit, possessing profound and pure magical power, and is also effective in upholding righteousness, warding off evil, and subduing demons.

The Li Huo Sword Qi can communicate with the Li Huo of the Southern Ming Dynasty to transform into brilliant sword qi. It is righteous and majestic, with its sharp edge fully revealed. The Chi Li Mu uses it to fight on the Northwest battlefield, and it can be called a sacred technique for protecting the Dao and killing.

As for the Crimson Cloud Protector, it is naturally nurtured by the Fire Dao Body. With the protection of the fire cloud, it can deflect enemy magic weapons and defend against enemy spells, possessing some of the wonders of the magic light of a Primordial Spirit True Person.

These three magic talismans were all cultivated to the tenth level by Chi Limu. According to her cultivation plan, she should have cultivated them to the twelfth level of perfection, after which the three magic talismans would resonate and she would break through to the Dao Embryo stage in one fell swoop.

We strive to condense three divine power seeds of grade ten or higher.

But at this point, there was no time to worry about that.

She took a step forward, and three great magic talismans soared into the sky, resonating with heaven and earth.

The vital energy from all directions surged in like a tidal wave, transforming into a waterfall of rosy light stretching for dozens of miles. The extraordinary phenomenon shook the heavens and the earth for hundreds of miles.

boom! boom! boom!
The rosy clouds, like brocade, wove together to form a garment, making Chi Limu's already pure and ethereal beauty, like a fairy, even more otherworldly, like a celestial maiden born from the fiery clouds.

Boo!
Suddenly, a phoenix cry rang out, and a fire phoenix leaped out from the firelight above the red wood.

This phoenix was covered in flames, its feathers were gorgeous, and its plumage was like flowing red gold. Each feather seemed to be formed from the purest essence of fire, making it incomparably beautiful.

Its phoenix eyes were like gilded gold, exuding majesty with every glance. When its wings spread, they scattered golden light, and its pale golden tail feathers trailed in the air for dozens of feet, leaving behind dazzling streaks of fire in the void as it danced.

The phoenix's clear and stirring cry pierced through the clouds and split rocks, while the crimson aura surrounding it illuminated half the sky as if the first rays of dawn were breaking, making it both sacred and majestic.

This strange phenomenon instantly alarmed the surrounding Taiqing disciples.

There were indeed people gathered together, discussing submitting a petition to the sect to remove Bai Long'er from his position as Daoist disciple.

Suddenly, a startling phenomenon occurred, and a familiar aura was immediately detected.

“This is…” someone said with a look of surprise.

"It's Junior Sister Chi Limu! She actually broke through to the Dao Embryo stage?"

The group exchanged surprised glances.

For the prodigies of Taiqing Temple, breaking through to the Dao Embryo stage is not difficult. The reason they stay in this realm is to accumulate a deeper foundation.

Chi Limu's sudden breakthrough was somewhat perplexing.

A moment later, someone murmured, "Such a sudden breakthrough can still produce such a magnificent phenomenon."

"I am no match for him!"

Some disciples of Taiqing Temple sighed, then stood up, clasped their hands in a salute, and said, "Fellow disciples, I will not get involved in this matter."

"I was deeply moved to witness Junior Sister Chi Li's breakthrough today."

"We cultivators should prioritize the cultivation of the Great Dao."

"As for Daozi's matter, the elders of the Freedom Sect will handle it."

"Everyone, I'm going to practice my magic now. Farewell."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

As this person left, several others followed suit, causing this hastily assembled group to disband.
