Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Wu Tian immediately chose option three: "Dogs Barking at the Gods."

For ordinary spirits and monsters, and for myself who has just arrived in this world, the talent of being able to absorb and exhale the essence of heaven and earth is naturally the best.

However, he was a cultivator who had just started anew, and his cultivation was profound. His understanding and knowledge of the laws of heaven and earth were far beyond that of ordinary cultivators and demons. Therefore, he did not value such a rudimentary method of absorbing and exhaling essence.

On the contrary, the barking of dogs can disturb the mind of the enemy and attract hatred. Whether it is to interfere with the enemy's spellcasting or to provoke and divide the enemy, it has its own unique benefits.

Once the jujube entered my stomach, it instantly transformed into a warm, scorching current that traveled throughout my body along my meridians.

Wu Tian felt as if his entire body was soaking in a hot spring, with every inch of his flesh and blood greedily absorbing this pure energy.

The incantation that would normally require months of arduous practice to condense was now rapidly taking shape within his body, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, driven by the power of the fire date.

Less than fifteen minutes after the Dog Barking Stance was perfected, the Dog Throwing Stance was also successfully completed.

He felt an intense itch deep in his spine, as if countless ants were crawling in his bone marrow.

The surrounding天地精气 (heaven and earth essence) was drawn in and surged wildly, condensing into dense, mysterious incantations on the surface of the spine.

These incantations shimmered with a pale golden light, wriggling like living things, slowly seeping into the spine.

Starting from the cervical spine in the head, this strange sensation spreads along the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral vertebrae all the way to the coccyx.

His entire body was covered in bristling fur, each hair seemingly infused with energy, becoming as hard as iron. His tail was taut and straight, with the tip trembling slightly, exuding a fierce aura.

"Wang Wang~"

A sharp itch in his throat made him bark a few times.

As the barking sounded, his whole body trembled violently as if electrocuted, his spine cracked and popped, and a surge of stagnant qi in his body gushed out from his throat, coughing up a small clump of dark red blood and a few small bone fragments.

Wu Tian's yellow fur gleamed with an oily sheen. Even more strangely, a faint layer of firelight swirled around him, a manifestation of the perfect fusion of the essence of the Fire Date and his cultivation technique.

Ding! System notification: Your Dog Wrestling training has been completed. You can choose one of the following three talents.

Option 1, Shaking your head and wagging your tail: Your spine contains divine power. Shaking your head and wagging your tail can unleash divine power. Your head can shatter rocks, and your tail can split the earth.

Option two, the White Bone Divine Whip, transforms the spine into a divine whip. In an instant, the essence of the spine bursts forth, transforming into a bone whip capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

(Note: Drawing out the White Bone Divine Whip will weaken your physical strength by 30% to 50%, so please use it with caution.)
Option three, concealing a weapon within oneself, allows one to mobilize one's potential and talent, nurturing a divine blade within oneself. With the divine blade within, one's strength, speed, and defense are fully enhanced; when the divine blade is unsheathed, one can kill enemies of higher levels.

(Note: The divine sword will completely dissipate within 15 minutes of being unsheathed and will require three to seven days to be nurtured again.)

(Note: The more talents one possesses, the stronger one's potential, and the better the divine blade that one cultivates.)

Without a doubt, options two and three are better than the first option; just by looking at the number of characters used by the system, it's clear which one is better.

Wu Tian didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose the third option. The more words, the stronger it must be...

"Most importantly, the third talent can integrate all my talents and unleash even more powerful strength."

"You become stronger when you clench your five fingers into a fist."

As he made his choice, his spine twisted violently as if a dragon were awakening, each bone crackling and popping.

He could clearly feel something rapidly coalescing deep within his bone marrow, a sharp sensation that seemed to tear his spine apart.

The intense pain made his muscles tense, but at the same time, an unprecedented sense of power was rapidly growing within him.

hum!
With a pleasant buzzing sound emanating from deep within his spine, Wu Tian successfully condensed his ninth innate treasure within his body.

At that moment, he felt as if his entire spine had transformed into a sharp blade yet to be drawn, ready to unleash earth-shattering power at any moment.

Wu Tian originally thought the changes had stopped, but he found that there were new changes on the system panel.

Ding! System notification: Your nine talents all originate from the Nine Forms of the Celestial Dog Diagram. They are interconnected and compatible, and can be fused into random advanced talents or generate special combination skills. Please choose for yourself.

"Ok?"

Wu Tian's eyes lit up. He didn't care about advanced talents. He would continue to cultivate his nine talents and one day they would transform into nine advanced talents.

However, this special combination technique has never appeared before.

A thought flashed through his mind: "Generate a special combination skill."

Ding! System notification: Your nine primary talent systems share a common origin, generating a special combination skill. Please check the details yourself.

The Dog Tooth Knife is a special combination skill that combines nine innate talents: keen sense of smell, ability to hear the wind, ability to run hundreds of miles, being a naturally vicious dog, having thick skin and flesh, being able to conceal weapons, being able to bark in a way that disturbs the spirits, and being able to form a knife from breath.

By forging one's essence, energy, and spirit with the nine innate incantations, a canine tooth blade is created and hidden between the spine. This blade can enhance the physical body and greatly improve physical strength.

The sword is drawn swiftly, its clashing blades creating a chaotic and unsettling sound. Its sharp edge can lock onto the enemy, and upon striking them, the blade drinks their blood, nourishing the blade and restoring strength and healing injuries.

"This really is a fusion of the nine talents. The Spinal Hidden Knife is undoubtedly a fusion of the talents of concealing weapons on the body and exhaling air to form a knife, and thick skin and flesh."

"Moreover, this sword has also incorporated several other talents, greatly enhancing its power and versatility, and eliminating the drawback of needing to recharge after drawing it."

"The swiftness of the blade is like traveling a hundred miles; the clang of the blade is like the barking of a dog; the sharpness of the blade is like a naturally vicious dog. Locking onto the enemy should be related to a keen sense of smell and the ability to hear the wind."

boom! boom! boom!
Wu Tian was reviewing the detailed information about the dog-tooth knife when he suddenly felt as if his spine had been struck hard with a hammer. The blow came so suddenly that his limbs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground. A tearing pain shot through his spine, as if something was breaking through his bones.

However this is just the beginning.

boom! boom! boom!
Thunderous sounds echoed continuously within his body, his nine great talents resonated simultaneously, and countless incantations intertwined within him to form a vast net.

The essence of heaven and earth surged in wildly, perfectly merging with his essence, energy, and spirit.

Deep within the spine, a sharp and pure glint of light is slowly emerging.

As the blade light grew, Wu Tian felt a surge of immense divine power rising from his limbs and bones, and his previously limp body was once again filled with strength.

Its fur suddenly tightened, each hair standing on end, as tough as steel needles, and its skin surface shone with a metallic luster, like refined steel that had been forged a thousand times, becoming even stronger.

He could clearly feel that his bones were as tough as steel bars, his muscles contained the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, his fur was comparable to fine iron armor, and his canine teeth were so sharp that they seemed capable of crushing metal and stone.

At this moment, relying solely on his powerful physical body, he was confident that he could fight head-on against those monsters who had been absorbing and exhaling vital energy for many years.

"Interesting, what a fine canine tooth knife!"

Wu Tian lay prostrate on the ground. Although the sword was not yet drawn, he could already feel its ferocity and sharpness. The wisp of sword light deep within his spine trembled slightly, radiating a bloodthirsty desire. "Once the sword is drawn, slaughtering monsters will be as easy as cutting grass."

"Heh, now that we've come this far, there's no need to delay any longer."

"Directly ingesting and exhaling vital energy, one becomes a spirit."

With a thought, Wu Tian's nine innate runes lit up simultaneously, and the canine tooth blade deep in his spine trembled slightly, emitting a unique pulling force.

The surrounding天地精气 (heaven and earth essence) seemed to be summoned and began to slowly converge towards him.

He possesses nine talents, and is not limited to any single attribute.

Then you can see wisps of rosy light spreading out, and finally, all the colors blend together, turning into a pale gold color just like sunlight.

These golden rays of light surrounded him, and with each breath he took, they entered his mouth and tongue.

Wu Tian was already very familiar with this process, but this time, when he was rebuilding it, he had a different kind of understanding.

As the essence gradually entered his body, every hair on his body began to emit golden light, greatly increasing the speed and efficiency of the essence entering his body.

The surrounding天地精气 (heaven and earth essence) gathered more and more, and the golden glow was like a thin veil covering his body, slowly seeping into his limbs and bones from his mouth, nose and fur, nourishing and tempering his physique.

With each breath, the Daoist principles are naturally perfected, possessing an indescribable rhythm.

As the essence enters the body, the bloodline of the yellow-skinned dog is nourished by the essence of heaven and earth, and gradually begins to become active, with a slightly ferocious and violent aura emerging from its bloodline.

The so-called bloodline is not blood, but the fusion of one's own essence, energy and spirit, the root of the soul and the body.

These auras that gradually grow in one's bloodline are demonic energy.

It absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, nourishes the bloodline, and gathers demonic energy.

These are spirits and monsters.

Wisps of demonic energy arose from the internal organs, muscles, and skin, converging and intertwining to form a pale golden glow.

Without hesitation, Wu Tian activated the second level of the Heavenly Dog Fighting Technique. This second level of technique is a breathing method that perfectly matches the first level, the Heavenly Dog Nine Forms Diagram.

As he practiced his breathing technique, the demonic energy within his body began to circulate along the seventy-two orifices. These seventy-two orifices were connected to every corner of his body, and even the incantations formed by his nine great talents were closely related to the seventy-two orifices.

Wu Tian could clearly feel that when these demonic energies flowed through his body, they resonated in a strange way with the nine innate runes within him, and the canine tooth blade at his spine emitted a faint hum.

As the cultivation technique circulated, demonic energy flowed through the seventy-two orifices, tempering the muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, and nourishing the nine innate runes associated with the seventy-two orifices. Even the canine tooth blade was tempered and nourished by the demonic energy.

The already thin demonic energy was continuously depleted during the process of transferring energy through the cultivation technique, while the essence of heaven and earth from the outside world was also absorbed into the body along with the circulation of the breathing technique, flowing through the seventy-two orifices and then merging into the blood.

New demonic energy continuously emerges from the bloodline, replenishing the demonic energy lost within the body.

This creates a perfect cycle.

Absorb the essence of heaven and earth to nourish blood and blood, condense demonic energy, and temper the body, bones, and talents.

One day, the demonic energy will become increasingly powerful, and gradually the characteristics and principles inherent in its own talents will be integrated into the demonic energy.

That would mean becoming a demon.

At this moment, Wu Tian has just entered the realm of spirits and monsters. He circulates his breathing technique, and demonic energy spontaneously flows along his meridians. Wherever it passes, his flesh, bones, and fur undergo earth-shattering changes.

Nourished by the demonic energy, the muscle fibers became more resilient, the bone density increased significantly, and the fur shone with a metallic luster.

He could feel his life force rapidly increasing, his five senses becoming exceptionally sharp, and even his breathing carrying a unique power—the power of the canine tooth blade, sharp and ferocious.

The canine tooth blade deep within the spine, infused with demonic energy, seemed to be imbued with a soul, its blade light becoming more solid, faintly radiating a chilling sharpness.

Ding! System notification: Congratulations on successfully advancing to the Realm of Spirits.

Wu Tian slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing in his pupils.

He gave a slight shake, and his yellow fur appeared as if it had been cast from bronze and iron. It was full of power and gave the impression of being indestructible.

With a slight flick of his wrist, he left three deep claw marks on the ground.

"We've finally taken the first step."

As Wu Tian sensed the nine innate talents within his body, the canine tooth blade, and the seventy-two slowly flowing demonic energies, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

Although the spirit is only the beginning of his cultivation journey, with the solid foundation laid by the canine tooth blade and the nine great talents, his cultivation journey is destined to go much further than before.

At this moment, Bizhu, who had been protecting Wu Tian from the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This earth dog's breakthrough after consuming the fire date was even more difficult than she had imagined. Such a precious spiritual object seemed to have only allowed this dog to barely break through.

She patted her chest helplessly, then trembled slightly. "Wu Tian, ​​it seems your talent is even worse than I thought. If it weren't for this fire date, you probably would never have become a spirit in this lifetime."

"However, you've at least taken this step."

"This is the beginning of transcending the ordinary and entering sainthood."

"From now on, you are qualified to be my partner."

"Otherwise, if we have intercourse, you might be poisoned to death by the toxins in my body."

At this point, Bizhu couldn't help but let out a silvery laugh.

After a long while, she stopped, her laughter gradually subsiding, and her four eyes slowly turned cold. "Now it's time to get down to business."

"Wu Tian, ​​wiggle your dog nose and catch up with Big Sister and the others."

“Cultivators from the Fire God Palace are not allowed to appear in the territory of Trapped Sky Mountain, let alone become the eldest sister’s husband.”

“My older sister is reluctant to part with it, so I’ll take care of it for her.”

Wu Tian declined to comment, but as Bi Zhu's dog, he naturally had to listen to his wife, Bi Zhu. The meat bones and spirits he received daily were not given for nothing.

"Wow~"

Wu Tian shouted at her and darted out of the cave.

Now, having broken through to the next level, and with the added power of the canine tooth blade, his body moved at incredible speed, like a streak of yellow light traversing the dark cave. (End of Chapter)
