Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Leaving aside the reaction of the Taiqing Temple disciples, Chi Limu broke through to the Dao Embryo stage, and the three magic talismans condensed into seeds of supernatural power, flowing smoothly without any hindrance.

In just a dozen breaths, the three magical talismans were baptized by the essence of heaven and earth, merging with their own essence, energy, and spirit, transforming into three supernatural seeds woven from countless incantations.

These three divine seeds, imbued with the essence of fire, spun rapidly from the heavens and descended towards Chi Limu's brow, leaving three crimson streaks in the sky.

As the three supernatural seeds entered his body, Chi Limu took three steps back, bowed three times respectfully to Zhu Yeshuang, and then stood up and said, "Master, your disciple is leaving. Please take care."

Having said that, he took a step forward, his robes shimmering with fiery light. Within each wisp of firelight, countless tiny incantations intertwined, falling to his feet and transforming into fiery clouds that lifted him up.

After Chi Limu stepped into the air, the fire phoenix let out a clear and stirring cry and landed at its feet.

Chi Limu glanced back at Zhu Yeshuang, tightened his grip on the sword sheath, and then the fire phoenix let out a cry. It flapped its wings and took flight, transforming into a crimson rainbow as it headed south.

Zhu Yeshuang gazed at the rainbow light gradually fading in the sky and sighed softly, "Foolish child!"

……

Southern Xinjiang has been a wild and untamed forest since ancient times, with many mountains, rivers, and swamps. Its terrain is complex, its environment harsh, and it is teeming with demons.

Besides the southernmost Shiwan Mountains, there are three other prefectures bordering the central plains: western Hunan, Kunming, and southern Fujian.

The three prefectures surround the Shiwan Mountains, forming the entire southern border region.

In ancient times, there was a primordial god and demon named Zhurong who passed down his lineage in the Ten Thousand Mountains. His descendants multiplied and inherited the lineage, and established the Fire God Palace.

The third-generation patriarch of the Fire God Palace inherited the legacy of Yi the Archer. He used eight arrows to shoot down the sun and hunted down the ancient demon god, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon. He then used the eight ancient palaces to suppress it, thus becoming famous throughout the world.

Each of these eight halls enshrines an ancient arrow to suppress the flow of fortune.

Each of the eight halls has its own name: Heavenly Fire Hall, Earthly Fire Hall, True Fire Hall, Divine Fire Hall, Ghost Fire Hall, Yin Fire Hall, Yang Fire Hall, and Heart Fire Hall.

The eight ancient temples are scattered across the vast southern Xinjiang region. Five of them are located in the Shiwan Mountains, while the other three are situated in three different prefectures.

Eight hundred years ago, the Great Sage Kong Lingxuan of the Demon Clan was born, sweeping across the Ten Thousand Mountains and almost wiping out the Fire God Palace lineage, causing the Fire God Palace cultivators to withdraw from the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Later, some surviving disciples re-established the lineage at Yulong Mountain in Kunming Prefecture. In recent years, they have gradually recovered lost territory, occupied the three prefectures in southern Xinjiang, and restored the sect's prestige.

Three ancient temples are located in the three prefectures of southern Xinjiang: Yanghuo Temple in Kunming, Yinhuo Temple in western Hunan, and Shenhuo Temple in southern Fujian.

Each of the three ancient palaces is guarded by a wandering immortal, and with the Heavenly Court's Martial Virtue Star Lord suppressing the Daoist lineage and fortune, the Fire God Palace gradually regained its former glory.

The customs of the Minnan region are completely different from those of the Central Plains. A powerful figure once established the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom in this area. They were fond of using Gu poison, and could create Gu poison from anything that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, or swam in the water, whether it was an inanimate or a living thing.

However, after the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom suddenly collapsed in ancient times, the Fire God Palace rose to prominence. A master used the method of divine fire to subdue thousands of Gu creatures, causing rivers of blood to flow, which almost led to the extinction of profound Gu techniques.

Especially after the establishment of the Divine Fire Palace, which is eternally indestructible, the inheritance of Gu magic gradually declined, leaving only a few remnants in the countryside, used to drive away wild animals, drink raw water, and prevent evil spirits.

Over time, the Divine Fire Temple became the center of the entire southern Fujian region, and a vast city was built around it.

This city is named Nanzhao Ancient City, in commemoration of the prosperity of ancient times.

On this day, outside the ancient city of Nanzhao, on the northern avenue, auspicious rays of light swept across the sky, streaking across the vast expanse of light and rushing toward the center of the ancient city.

In the glow of the sunset, twenty-eight demon kings led the way, two dragons pulled the chariot, and the jade carriage flowed with auspicious golden light.

Wu Tian lay reclining on the jade bed, his eyes slightly closed. Five beams of magical light flowed around his body like ripples of water, enveloping his figure and making it difficult for outsiders to see clearly.

His mind focused on his inner elixir, and the five divine rings rotated, erasing the Buddha's image. Each rotation could seize strands of essence, causing the five divine rings to gradually increase in age.

"If this continues, even without cultivation, the lifespan of one's divine rings can be increased by a hundred years each year. In just twenty years, all five divine rings can be upgraded to three thousand years."

"Such progress is truly astonishing."

"The image of the Buddha is truly terrifying."

"No wonder the heavens said that as long as I swallow the reincarnation of Buddha, I can become an immortal on the spot."

"If I hadn't possessed five great supernatural powers and had two supernatural power seeds to share, and had only focused on cultivating the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun supernatural power, I might have truly broken through the shackles and become a demon saint."

"However, this is not my path."

Wu Tian already had profound insights and long-term plans regarding his path of cultivation.

"Upon reaching the Demon Saint realm, the inner core transforms into a star, progressing step by step from Earthly Fiend Star to Heavenly Dipper Star to Ancient Star."

"The deeper one's foundation, the smoother one's cultivation will be at the Demon Saint realm; if one's foundation is shallow, one will find it difficult to make any progress at any current hurdle."

"Not to mention, almost none of the demon saints and rogue immortals can break through to the Golden Immortal level. They will all choose to cultivate various forms to enrich their methods and enhance their strength."

"I now possess five great supernatural powers and two seeds of supernatural powers, and I hope to cultivate seven Dharma forms in the future."

"How could I possibly give up such a blessing?"

"Dharma, Demon Saint..."

He silently took stock of his current cultivation level, "If I want to improve my combat power in a short period of time, there are two paths for me."

"First, cultivate the two supernatural power seeds to perfection and transform them into supernatural powers. At that time, the seven supernatural power phenomena will naturally increase the combat power by a lot."

"Not to mention that the Taiqing Immortal Light and the Tongtian Dharma Eye are both extremely extraordinary, far surpassing the other five great supernatural powers."

"The second is the ancient arrow that shot down the sun..."

Wu Tian's mind was focused on the ancient arrow that had pierced Bai Yaochen's chest.

Seemingly drawing power from the image of the Buddha, this ancient arrow is gradually reviving, becoming increasingly ferocious and terrifying.

"The Fire God Palace inherited the legacy of Yi the Great and used eight ancient arrows that shot down the sun to awe the world. Two of them were taken by the Black Mountain Demon with a letter from Yama, and eventually ended up in my hands."

"There are also six ancient arrows in other ancient halls."

"The Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang have been occupied by the demon race, and the Sun-Shooting Arrows of those five ancient temples have probably already been taken away by the Undying Palace."

"The Vulcan Palace should still have an ancient arrow in its collection."

"The Yanghuo Temple in Kunming, also known as the Great Sun Temple, is the only ancient temple that was not destroyed by Kong Lingxuan and has been passed down to the present day."

"The current master of the Fire God Palace is the same person who was once the master of the Great Sun Temple. His cultivation is unfathomable. He is a ruthless character who survived Kong Lingxuan's clutches. The Fire God Palace has been able to gradually revive over the past eight hundred years thanks to his efforts."

"The Yin Huo Palace in Xiangxi, also known as the Taiyin Temple, was targeted by Kong Lingxuan, and all its traditions were wiped out, completely extinct."

“Qianqian once told me that the Undying Palace has a part of the inheritance of the Xiangxi Yin Fire Hall, which involves many Yin attribute paths such as Taiyin, Mingyue, and Guanghan. It is extremely mysterious. She has also studied and practiced it.”

"Although the Yin Fire Palace in Xiangxi has been re-established, its foundation is shallow. The master of the Yin Fire Palace is said to be a zombie who attained enlightenment and was recruited by the Fire God Palace and honored as the master. He is a corpse immortal who follows the path of Taiyin Refining Form." "This zombie has a large number of followers from unorthodox sects, which has made Xiangxi a gathering place for unorthodox sects. Evil spirits are everywhere, and all sorts of people are mixed together. It is only nominally under the jurisdiction of the Fire God Palace."

"Besides that, there is the Minnan Divine Fire Palace, whose master is the wandering immortal Chi Ye Mang. It is said that the Great Sun Palace Master took him in as a disciple on behalf of his master, and addressed him as a fellow disciple. He personally taught him the Daoist cultivation methods and nurtured him into a wandering immortal."

"The Red Python is nominally the junior brother of the Great Sun Palace Master, but in reality, he is equivalent to a direct disciple."

He had a thorough understanding of the situation in southern Xinjiang.

Having decided to wade into the murky waters of southern Xinjiang, he naturally wouldn't fight an unprepared battle.

Back when he was at Xuantian Peak, he used his Daoist privileges to access various intelligence reports about the Southern Frontier, with the Fire God Palace being of paramount importance.

“Chiye Mang led eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators under his command to besiege and kill me. Now Nanzhao City has become an empty city, with only one Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in charge.”

"I will head straight for the ancient city of Nanzhao and be able to completely destroy its heritage."

Thinking of this, a slight crack appeared on the vertical line between his eyebrows, and golden light flowed out, illuminating various scenes.

Although the All-Seeing Eye has not yet manifested supernatural powers, his cultivation has broken through and his magical power is profound. If he were to activate this seed of supernatural power again, its power would naturally increase greatly.

Just then, the system panel changed.

Ding! System notification: You have received information about the future.

Information 1: Taiqing Temple disciple Chi Limu learned that Taiqing Daozi Bai Long'er had devoured his own child. So he traveled alone for 100,000 miles to enter the Southern Frontier to meet his junior brother Bai Long'er.

Information 2: The ancient city of Nanzhao is empty, with no wandering immortals presiding over it, only the primordial spirit true man Tu Jiu handling all matters, big and small.

Information 3: Several months later, Gu Santong, the master of Yin Huo Palace, discovered Chi Limu, who possessed the innate Li Huo Dao Body, and wanted to marry her. He hoped that Chi Limu would use her innate Li Huo Dao Body to help him refine his Yin essence through the Taiyin Refining Method, thus advancing further.

Wu Tian was slightly taken aback when he saw these three messages.

"Is my senior sister coming to see me?"

He was momentarily at a loss for words, but then he suddenly remembered that when he first transmigrated, he was just a puppy, held in Chi Limu's arms, spending the nights with howling winds.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses.

“The Corpse Immortal Valley’s Santong didn’t originally plan to make a move against you so soon, but you’re courting death, so you can’t blame me.”

Although the information gleaned was that several months later, the Corpse Immortal Valley's Santong wanted to forcibly marry his senior sister.

But now that he has learned of this news, he naturally cannot allow Gu Santong to continue living.

"Kill them beforehand, and it'll be over."

"After dealing with Gu Santong, I will personally go to welcome my senior sister."

"From the Northwest to the Southern Xinjiang region, it's more than 100,000 miles. How could Master let her come alone?"

Wu Tian took a swig of Meng Qianqiu, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind and forcing himself to stop overthinking.

As for the Three Passes of Corpse Immortal Valley, although they are wandering immortals...

However, he is no longer the same as before. With his five great supernatural powers and the ancient arrow that shoots the sun, which is in harmony with the Fiery Golden Bow, he can now barely reach the combat power of a loose immortal.

What's more, he has helpers.

"It's time to contact the Black Mountain Demon."

The Black Mountain Demon and the Fire God Palace have a deep-seated hatred for each other, and now that they want to hunt down the Three Tongs of Corpse Immortal Valley, he must be more than happy to do so.

"If I join forces with the Black Mountain Demon and take advantage of his unpreparedness, we can surely defeat Gu Santong. However, killing him will be very difficult."

"When one cultivates to the level of a Loose Immortal, one's Dharma form reaches the heavens. The difficulty of killing a Loose Immortal is no less than that of a mortal ascending to heaven."

"Not to mention the troublesome Lord of the Great Sun Palace."

Wu Tian's vertical eye between his eyebrows opened, shining with golden light and flowing with incantations.

"It seems we need to head to the Palace of the Undying as soon as possible..."

After sorting out his thoughts, he finally focused his attention back on the present moment.

The all-seeing divine eye has glimpsed future information and confirmed that there are no traps in Nanzhao City.

Without involving powerful immortals, the Heavenly Eye is extremely useful, even to the point of being considered cheating.

"Now, the Lord of the Great Sun Palace and the Lord of the Yin Fire Palace, Shi Xian Gu, are leading the cultivators of the Fire God Palace, as well as the forty-seven affiliated sects of the Fire God Palace, in a fierce battle against the demon race in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"Originally, the Crimson Python was in charge of the rear, but now that the Crimson Python is dead, the rear of the Fire God Palace is empty, with only a few Nascent Soul True Persons left to guard it, so I can run rampant."

"With the all-seeing eye to discern good and bad fortune and to foresee the future, I will immediately withdraw as soon as the Lord of the Great Sun Palace or Gu Santong appears."

"First, loot the Divine Fire Palace in Nanzhao City, then go to the Yin Fire Palace in Xiangxi, and finally go to the Yang Fire Palace in Kunming."

This order was carefully arranged by him after observing it for a long time with his all-seeing eyes.

Although there are certain risks, as long as it is handled properly, one can emerge unscathed.

The ancient arrow that shot down the sun seemed to be of extremely high status. Even with his all-seeing divine eye, he could hardly find out where the remaining ancient arrow of the Fire God Palace was.

The only option was to thoroughly search all three ancient temples.

As Wu Tian was deep in thought, the jade carriage had already traversed the sky and arrived not far from the ancient city.

Before me stretched a vast ancient city like a mountain range, extending for hundreds of miles. It was majestic and imposing, exuding a solid and powerful aura that made it hard to breathe.

"Those who come, stop here. No one may fly within the city of Nanzhao."

On the city wall, dozens of armored guards patrolled. They rode various demonic beasts, wore iron armor, held long spears, and had gourds hanging from their waists. It was clear that they were not ordinary people.

These are all elite disciples of the Fire God Palace, all cultivators skilled in magic, with formidable combat power. When they form a magic array, they can kill cultivators of the same level as easily as cutting grass.

At this moment, seeing the imperial chariot sweeping across the sky, the leader of the armored soldiers immediately shouted, his voice like thunder, shaking the surrounding area.

Even on this city wall, incantations permeate the air, weaving together a chilling aura. If anyone dares to force their way in, the magic array will be activated, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be in danger of perishing.

However, Wu Tian's jade chariot ignored the warnings coming from the city wall, its speed undiminished. Pulled by two dragons and guarded by twenty-eight demon kings, it charged straight towards the majestic ancient city with an overwhelming pressure. (End of Chapter)
