Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Deep within the fissures of Skull Mountain, lava flows like blood, and malevolent energy lurks like ink.

The Crimson Wood floated at the center of the vortex where Yin and Yang met, its crimson glow almost extinguished. The Azure Dawn Ancient Sword still hung above its head, but its sword light was as dim as a candle in the wind, and the crimson glow of the sword tassel was so faint that it was almost invisible.

The hem of her blue skirt was charred black, her bare ankles were covered with burn marks and frostbite, and only a thin layer of golden light remained, her knuckles were bluish-white from gripping the sword hilt tightly.

Gu Santong sat cross-legged on the edge of the crack, his body covered with dark blue-black incantations and shrouded in corpse energy.

His withered face, with its burning crimson pupils, stared intently at the swaying figure below.

"Your Fire Dao Body has reached its limit; your merit and golden light have been exhausted, and your sword energy has withered."

"Are you going to come out on your own, or do you want me to do it for you?"

Seeing that Chi Limu remained unmoved, he hesitated no longer. His corpse energy surged suddenly, transforming into a hundred-foot-long giant hand that tore through the Yin Sha and grabbed Chi Limu's crown.

Chi Limu strained to urge the Qingli Sword, but the sword only emitted a tiny bit of crimson light despite the humming of the blade. She bit her tongue to force herself to stay alert, and the crimson light between her brows flashed intensely. The triple protective light barrier shattered inch by inch, and a tearing pain shot through her depleted sea of ​​consciousness.

In just a few breaths, her figure was completely engulfed by the giant hand of corpse energy.

Just as the giant hand was about to close.

"boom--!!!"

A streak of crimson-gold light crashed into the crevice like a meteor, and the violent shockwave tore apart the giant hand of corpse energy. The phantom of the five divine rings flashed by, and the domineering power shook the entire crevice violently.

A burly figure blocked Chi Limu's path. The newcomer was nearly ten feet tall, with white fur, bulging muscles, and an explosive power.

It was a burly demon king with a dog's head and a human body, clad in iron armor.

His dog-like head was ferocious, with fangs bared and a pair of golden eyes burning with fury. A vertical crack appeared on his forehead, with golden light flowing through it. He casually carried a mixed iron rod on his shoulder, the rod still retaining the lingering warmth from tearing apart the corpse's aura.

"Old zombie," the demon king with a dog's head and a human body spoke, his voice deep and rumbling like thunder, "Did you ask before you touched my senior sister?"

"Junior brother?!" Chi Limu blurted out, her face showing surprise. Three months ago, when she was trapped here, she received a message from her sect's secret method, instructing her to sit here quietly and wait for the right opportunity.

She originally thought it was a fellow disciple or elder traveling abroad, but she never expected it to be Bai Long'er. Although she didn't know why Bai Long'er made her wait for three months.

However, my junior brother always has his own plans when he does things.

Chi Limu was both surprised and delighted. More than half a year ago, news came from the southern border that Bai Long'er and the Black Mountain Demon had joined forces to ambush Gu Santong. First, they killed the Nine-Child Ghost Mother, and then the three of them were thrown into the Netherworld Yellow Springs and disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, the Black Mountain Demon returned to Yinshan in the northern border, where his inner core transformed into a star called Tai Sui Star, which soared straight into the sky.

After three thousand years of accumulation, this old demon managed to upgrade his natal star to the sixth heaven. He was just one step away from entering the seventh heaven, becoming an ancient star, and ascending to the position of a Great Sage.

The Demon Saint of the Sixth Heaven is equivalent to the most outstanding True Immortal.

The Black Mountain Demon became famous throughout the world, becoming a powerful figure capable of stirring up the winds and clouds and influencing the general trend of the world.

Originally, when the Black Mountain Demon broke through, there would inevitably be various external tribulations. However, the timing of his breakthrough is too perfect. The great battle on the Northwest Demon God Path battlefield is intensifying, and the Southern Frontier is in constant turmoil.

Only the East Sea was able to spare the time. It is said that a wandering immortal from the East Sea intervened that day, but was ultimately driven back by the Black Mountain Demon. The Grand Duke Jupiter rose straight into the sky, and the laws of heaven and earth were reversed.

This old demon chased the invading enemy for three thousand miles, destroying the Dharma body of that wandering immortal from the East Sea, leaving his fate unknown.

After this battle, the Black Mountain Demon's power shook the world, and no one could ignore the existence of someone who had refined his natal star into the Heavenly Star.

The three levels of Earthly Fiend Star, Heavenly Dipper Star, Ancient Star, and Demon Saint each present an immense chasm.

Those who can adorn their own natal star in the first three heavens have stars that have been baptized by the laws of heaven and earth, and are thus considered Earthly Fiends.

The stars in the fourth to sixth heavens are the Heavenly Gang Stars.

Those above the seventh level are ancient stars. Demon saints who condense ancient stars are also called ancient saints or great saints.

The Black Mountain Demon has decided the fate of the world in one battle, and has already shown the potential to become the overlord of the demon race.

There was even a decree from the Heavenly Court, which wanted to appoint him as the Grand Duke of Jupiter.

However, Taiqing Daozi Bai Long'er has disappeared without a trace. He has not appeared in the outside world for more than half a year, and many people even say that he is dead and died in the Netherworld.

Chi Limu naturally wouldn't believe that his junior brother was dead. The golden lotus in the sect that was connected to his junior brother's fate was still blooming, so his life must be safe.

But Bai Long'er's appearance in front of her at this moment truly surprised and delighted her.

"Gu Santong, it's been more than half a year since I last saw you, and you've become more and more capable. You dare to touch the direct descendant of my Taiqing Temple. I think you're tired of living."

Bai Long'er grinned, revealing a ferocious expression. Five divine rings spun behind his head, accompanied by crackling lightning. A thunder whip appeared in his hand, and with a sudden swing, it resembled the Thunder God wielding a whip.

"White Dragon, even without the Black Mountain Demon, you still dare to come close to me? You're practically courting death!"

"Roar--!"

A thousand-foot-tall image of a drought demon rose from the ground, with a blue face, fangs, and prominent horns. Its body was covered in corpse hair and burned with a ghastly green flame.

The moment the Dharma form appeared, the lava beneath its feet solidified, the underground yin energy surged, and the terrifying pressure made the entire Skull Mountain tremble.

Compared to this, Bai Long'er's figure was as insignificant as dust.

The drought demon's avatar slammed down with a single punch, its pure and violent power carrying the chilling cold that freezes the soul and the corrosive corpse energy that corrodes all things.

There was no fear in Bai Long'er's eyes. He looked up and let out a deafening bark. The five divine rings spun like millstones, casting down magical light.

His body surged with magical power, which he channeled into the iron staff. The staff hummed and then thrust upwards, forcefully striking the giant fist.

"Boom!!"

The clash of sticks and fists was like the collision of two stars, the shockwave exploding in a ring, directly shattering the rock walls on both sides of the crevice, and the earth collapsed with a deafening roar.

A scroll of the Azure Sky River Map fell from the Divine Ring, crashing into the crevice in the ground. It directly swept up Chi Limu's body and quickly retreated backward.

The battles involving loose immortals are too terrifying. If cultivators with Dao Embryo or Primordial Spirit are involved, they will only end up dying and their Dao will be destroyed.

"Hmm? It's been more than half a year since I last saw you. Your cultivation and magical power have improved so quickly?" The drought demon's avatar asked with surprise and doubt.

Bai Long'er paid no heed to him. A divine halo behind her shone brightly, and the three-headed, six-armed demon god roared as it pounced out from the yin wind halo.

Although it was far smaller than the Drought Demon's Dharma Form, it was extremely ferocious. It rushed up the Drought Demon's arm and swung its six arms with weapons, frantically slashing and tearing at the Dharma Form's arms and body. The wind howled and ghostly energy filled the air.

Gu Santong was an extremely experienced fighter. With a thought, raging yin flames instantly rose from the arm of the drought demon's avatar, threatening to incinerate the avatar.

At the same time, another giant hand, as if swatting a fly, swept towards Bai Long'er with immense force. Seeing the giant hand approaching, Bai Long'er's fiery golden bow divine halo behind his head lit up, and his iron staff, resting on his longbow, transformed into an extremely concentrated arrow of light, tearing through the sky and piercing straight at the enemy's palm.

"puff!"

The iron rod, carrying unparalleled penetrating power, pierced directly through the giant hand formed from dense corpse energy and yin fire, even protruding from the back of the hand.

The drought demon's form was in pain, and its movements faltered.

"How dare this worthless, spoiled dog be so arrogant!!"

Gu Santong's roar emanated from the Dharma image, shaking the surrounding area.

His fists were like two collapsing sacred mountains, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, each punch faster and heavier than the last, pounding towards Bai Long'er.

At the same time, the giant mouth opened, spewing out a torrent of corpse fire that was condensed to the point of being tangible, with a deep green color that was almost black. This torrent was not only extremely hot, but also contained terrifying corpse poison that was enough to kill even a loose immortal. It swept across the sky and the earth.

"swallow!"

Bai Long'er seemed to have been prepared. The Heavenly Dog Devouring Sun Divine Ring behind her head shone brightly, and the phantom of the Heavenly Dog appeared behind her, opening its blood-red maw to swallow the rolling corpse fire.

"laugh!"

His snow-white fur instantly turned dull and curled, his demonic body trembled violently, and a trickle of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. It was clear that digesting the corpse fire was extremely difficult, and he also suffered a considerable backlash.

However, the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even more intensely.

"Wow~"

After a bark, his true form charged directly into the three-headed, six-armed demon god form. The three extraordinary phenomena of the Nine Heavens Thunder Whip, the Fiery Golden Bow, and the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun appeared simultaneously, almost merging with the demon god form as he attacked.

It seemed as if two demon gods were fighting in this mountainous region. The drought demon had an absolute advantage in strength and size. With every move it made, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and corpse fire burned the heavens and the earth. Wherever it passed, the earth cracked, lava surged out, and the evil spirits soared straight into the sky.

Bai Long'er's four supernatural powers flowed together, cooperating with each other with unparalleled skill. The Thunder Whip and the Iron Cudgel worked together to block the opponent's fists and palms, creating ripples of energy.

The raging fire and golden bow attacked, and golden arrows rained down everywhere, forcing Gu Santong to divert some of his magic power for defense.

The Heavenly Dog's Sun-Devouring Divine Power further absorbed and expelled the corpse's fire, rendering Gu Santong's most lethal methods ineffective against it.

In a short time, the two sides fought so fiercely that the sky and earth collapsed. Skull Mountain, which was already full of cracks, completely collapsed and was razed to the ground, even forming a huge basin. Lava poured in, and the scene was incredibly amazing.

Gu Santong grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. The last time they met, this Taiqing Daozi had only posed a slight threat to him by using the Yellow Springs as a means of communication.

Yet, in just over half a year, he was already able to fight him head-on; such a speed of progress was simply unbelievable.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He took a heavy blow from the Ghost God and the pounding of the Nine Heavens Thunder Whip. His shoulder was charred black, but he frantically stretched out his giant hand and grabbed at the head of the three-headed, six-armed Ghost God.

Boom!

The three-headed, six-armed demon was gripped by the head and struggled frantically, but it was no match for him.

Accompanied by the roar of the drought demon's avatar, endless corpse fire surged forth, completely engulfing the land.

boom! boom! boom!
Amidst the incredibly intense collision and roar, Bai Long'er's laughter rang out, "Old zombie, you've run out of tricks, haven't you? I'll let you off the hook today, but next time we meet, I'll take your head."

By the time the fiery corpses surged into Gu Santong's mouth like a tidal wave, the three-headed, six-armed demon had already vanished, and Bai Long'er and Chi Limu had disappeared without a trace.

"The Supreme Purity Treasure was used?"

He swayed his body, withdrew his Dharma form, and did not pursue.

Gu Santong's gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield, a barely perceptible hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. His opponent's growth rate was too fast, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Although he had the upper hand in this encounter, that damned vicious dog was now able to fight him head-on.

I can't imagine how much that dog could grow if given more time.

"Could it be that he can directly break through to the Demon Saint realm?"

He felt depressed. He had spent several months on this project, only to end up with nothing. His body had been rescued, and he had even offended the Taiqing Temple. It was a complete loss.

"The only thing we can do is try to break through the Undying Palace and see if we can gain some benefits to make up for the losses."

Without further hesitation, Gu Santong transformed into a dark green streak of light and disappeared into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

……

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away from this ravaged battlefield, a jade bracelet, neither gold nor jade, shimmering with a purple-blue light, appeared in the void.

Before long, the jade bracelet emitted a purple-blue celestial light, and two figures appeared from the halo, namely Bai Long'er and Chi Limu.

The divine halo around Bai Long'er disappeared, and his tall, dog-headed, human-bodied body exuded a strong sense of oppression. He looked at Chi Limu not far away, his previous arrogance gone, replaced by hesitation and bewilderment.

"Senior...Senior Sister...Are you alright?"

Chi Limu looked at Bai Long'er opposite her, and their pupils met. She was stunned and her body stiffened.

Her hand barely touched the hilt of the Qingli Ancient Sword, and the remaining magical power within her body circulated. Clearly, the aura, cultivation method, treasures in her hands, and supernatural powers she used all belonged to Bai Long'er.

But she was almost 100% certain that the other party was definitely not Bai Long'er.

She felt a mix of suspicion and uncertainty, staring intently at the other person.

Bai Long'er looked away instinctively when she saw her gaze. "Senior Sister, this place isn't safe. We should leave here first..."

Chi Limu stared at the Qiankun Ring that had landed in his palm. It was a gift from the Heavenly Capital Ancestor, used by the Ancestor in his early years. It had the power to protect the body and save lives, and was also a protective treasure given to Bai Long'er by the Ancestor.

Even if someone were to steal this treasure, they would never be able to use it freely, let alone Bai Long'er's five great supernatural abilities. There is no one else in the world who could use the exact same supernatural abilities.

But he... is definitely not Bai Long'er!
What is going on here?

Chi Limu felt his almost depleted magical power and gripped the sword hilt tightly. No matter what the other party's purpose was, it was best not to expose it yet. He would wait until his magical power recovered before trying to leave.

"If this person is a fake, then where is my junior brother?"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure opposite her, she felt an indescribable sense of oppression and anger welling up inside her.

"No matter who you are, I will expose your true colors."
