Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Above Baiyun Mountain, five-colored rays of light poured down like a celestial river, and a tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the light.

It was none other than the Lord of Yellow Heaven, Chixiao.

She stood suspended in mid-air above Baiyun Mountain, looking down at the mountain that was shaking violently.

The Yin and Yang veins beneath the mountain roared and rolled underground like two giant dragons, with water and fire springs gushing out towering columns of water and flames, making the entire mountain seem as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

However, deep within the Golden Light Cave, an increasingly powerful aura was rising steadily, like a ferocious beast that had slumbered for millennia awakening.

Chi Xiao withdrew her gaze, raised her hand and waved it. Five-colored rays of light flew out from her sleeve and instantly enveloped the entire White Cloud Mountain, isolating all movement within the cave.

She turned around, facing the heavens, her hands behind her back, without saying a word. Five-colored rays of light spread out in all directions like a tide, enveloping the entire area of ​​Baiyun Mountain for thousands of miles under her aura.

Anyone who dares to approach this place must first get past her.

Above the nine heavens, in the Great Crimson Heaven, lies the Mysterious Golden Palace.

The Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable and the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable, who were high above the nine layers of clouds, also turned their gaze to the lower realm.

Upon witnessing the commotion caused by Wu Tian's numerous bizarre Dharma forms, even the usually composed Jade Void Celestial Venerable's expression changed slightly. After a long silence, he said, "Should we simply sit idly by and do nothing?"

The Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable said indifferently, "Now that I am trapped and the Buddha is asleep in the cycle of reincarnation, only you can take action."

"If you intervene now, can you stop it?"

Jade Void Celestial Venerable looked at Chi Xiao, who stood with his hands behind his back on White Cloud Mountain, and thunder roared in his eyes. "These wicked creatures should have been killed long ago."

The Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable did not speak, but slowly closed his eyes. Since things had come to this, it was better to sit and watch. As long as he could buy time, the Investiture of the Gods would be completed, and everything could be wiped out.

even……

Even in the worst-case scenario, if something truly goes wrong, with me here, those people can't turn the tide.

"Even if the plan fails, it will only mean that I am trapped in the ruins of the Heavenly Court for a longer period of time. After 1,300 years, when my cultivation is complete and I have refined the treasures left by the Heavenly Court, I will be able to emerge from seclusion and wipe out everything."

The entire palace gradually fell silent.

……

Meanwhile, deep within the Golden Light Cave...

Wu Tian sat cross-legged, and the pillars of light formed by the four Dharma Avatars had completely entered his body. The four vast and powerful forces collided, intertwined, and merged wildly within him.

Eighteen golden lotuses spun wildly around him, and layers of golden light surged and undulated in the cave like a tide.

Various extraordinary phenomena, such as the Seven Treasures Tree, the Great Sun, the Bright Moon, and golden light, appeared one after another, causing the entire Golden Light Cave to tremble.

The Immortal Binding Rope flew out of his waist on its own, burning with blazing golden flames, and hovered and danced above his head.

Eighteen golden lotuses bloomed and withered around the rope, withered and bloomed again, while the rope itself trembled constantly, emitting clear and melodious dragon roars.

Wu Tian's eyes were closed, and he heard the familiar system notification sound in his ears.

Ding! System notification: Your Dharma Avatar has returned. You can choose one of the following three advancement options.

Option 1: Create the world, unify all your avatars, gather supernatural powers and laws, and you can obtain the Golden Immortal Dao. Create the world from the chaos outside the heavens, become the Lord of Heaven, and control the creation of the universe.

Option two: Innate gods and demons, using all kinds of supernatural powers as fuel and their physical bodies as a furnace, shed their acquired bodies and transform into innate gods and demons.

(Note: Primordial gods and demons possess unique characteristics among all realms, therefore the gods and demons after their transformation and sublimation are unknown, unlike any other primordial gods and demons that have appeared in the long river of time.)
Option three, the position of Heavenly Emperor, is based on the authority of the Great Sun Emperor, and one is promoted to the Lord of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace in the Mysterious Vault, who receives the blessing of the origin of the Three Realms and can rival the Golden Immortal of the Fifth Heaven in the Three Realms.

Wu Tian looked at the three options, his gaze quickly sweeping over them, his mind racing, countless thoughts colliding and intertwining in his mind.

"The two options, Creation of Heaven and Earth and Primordial Gods and Demons, are equivalent to the Path of Blessed Lands and the Path of Ancient Immortals during the Loose Immortal stage."

"The path of the blessed land leads to faster cultivation, but at the same level of cultivation, the combat power is slightly weaker than that of the ancient loose immortals. However, once one enters the blessed land that one has created, the combat power can be amplified."

"Therefore, the path to blessed lands and grotto-heavens has great potential, which is why it has gradually replaced the ancient wandering immortals and become the mainstream cultivation system today."

"The same applies to the creation of heaven and earth and the innate gods and demons. After creating heaven and earth, one can rule over a celestial realm, become the master of a world, and control the creation of heaven and earth. One can deduce all kinds of laws and principles, with infinite potential and infinite wonders. This is the path that the six great celestial masters of the Three Realms are all following now."

"According to the system's explanation, innate gods and demons possess unique characteristics among all realms. It is likely that some of the six Heavenly Lords were originally innate gods and demons. In ancient myths and legends, it was those incomparably powerful innate gods and demons who gradually opened up the current path of cultivation."

"Under the same level of cultivation, the combat power of innate gods and demons is stronger than that of golden immortals who created the world, but the speed at which golden immortals who created the world improve their cultivation is far beyond that of innate gods and demons."

"As for the last option..."

Wu Tian's mind was in turmoil, and he even wanted to choose the third option and become the Heavenly Emperor.

At that time, he will be an almost invincible existence in the Three Realms. He can suppress Jade Void Heavenly Venerable with a flick of his palm. Even if Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable really opens up the Five Heavens, he will not be able to do anything to him.

"Once you choose the third option and become the Jade Emperor, the supreme Heavenly Emperor, possessing the strength of a Golden Immortal of the Fifth Heaven, you can completely resolve your crisis."

"Even if we can't defeat the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable, we can still protect ourselves."

He had to admit that this option was incredibly appealing to him.

but……

The thought that the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable, the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable, and the Buddha might be three bodies in one made him feel as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

Although it is not easy for someone of the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable's level of cultivation to unify his three bodies, even if he were to merge them into one, it would be impossible for him to directly fuse all the heavens into the terrifying existence of the eighth, ninth, or even twelfth heavens.

After all, the higher one goes in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. The fusion of the clone and the main body is not as simple as one plus one equals two. When one reaches the level of the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable, it is already remarkable that one can advance two or even one level after the many clones are merged into one.

But... that person has likely already opened up the fifth heaven, plus the Jade Void Celestial Venerable who is about to break through the fourth heaven, and the Buddha who opened up the third heaven. After the three bodies are unified, he will probably be at least in the sixth heaven.

"Even if I become the Heavenly Emperor, I'm afraid I'll still be smashed to pieces by the one who has unified his three bodies."

Although Wu Tian didn't know why that person hadn't taken action yet, but instead waited until the Investiture of the Gods was completed before making a move, he thought that the position of Heavenly Emperor alone was not secure at all.

After all, the Three Realms were originally created by the Six Heavenly Lords, and the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable's understanding of the Heavenly Court Ruins far surpasses his own. Perhaps he possesses some means to restrain the Heavenly Emperor's position. Once the position is restrained, he can only close his eyes and await his death.

"The path to creation holds immense potential, but what I need most right now is strength, not potential that requires a long period of time to develop; the throne of the Heavenly Emperor also has many drawbacks..."

"For me, the best option is to be a primordial god or demon. If things don't work out, I can simply take Bai Qian and the others and escape from the Three Realms to the Chaos Realm."

"Moreover, after becoming a primordial god and demon, I also have the position of the Great Sun Emperor, so it is not impossible for me to try to advance to the Heavenly Emperor myself."

"At that time, with the innate divine and demonic body and the position of the Heavenly Emperor, I will have the means to contend with the Heavenly Venerable of the Great Crimson."

"In this way, we can attack or retreat..."

With that thought in mind, he made a decision.

"System, I choose option two: to transform and ascend to become a primordial god or demon."

Ding! System notification: You have chosen to transform and ascend to become a primordial god or demon.

This process is irreversible and will consume all your avatars. Once the transformation begins, your physical body, primordial spirit, avatar, and supernatural powers will be completely integrated, transforming into an innate divine and demonic body.

After the transformation is complete, you will possess a unique characteristic unique to all realms, known as the past and future, a unique existence in endless time and space.

The moment the system notification sound ended, an indescribable, terrifying power erupted from Wu Tian's body.

The magical powers and supernatural abilities of the four Dharma forms—Buddha, Long-Armed Ape, Hou Yi, and Shen Hongyu—were forcibly crushed, fused, and refined by the system with some incomprehensible great force, transforming them into the purest primordial power, which was then poured into the Immortal Binding Rope Dharma form.

The Immortal Binding Rope shone brightly, and boundless golden light filled the heavens and the earth. The eighteen golden lotuses began to expand wildly, with petals unfolding one after another, each petal inscribed with dense incantations.

The nineteenth golden lotus appeared, followed by the twentieth, the twenty-first... In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a total of one hundred and eight golden lotuses were blooming.

One hundred and eight golden lotuses, each containing a thousand years of magical power.

The magical power of 108,000 years has gathered together, and at this moment, the Binding Immortal Rope Dharma Form is burning with golden flames, surrounded by 108 golden lotuses, and the aura it emits is as surging as a vast ocean.

Wu Tian's cultivation level was pushed to an unprecedented peak.

The entire Golden Light Cave was illuminated by the light of the golden lotus, making it as bright as day. The mountain trembled violently under the impact of the magic power, and countless cracks spread from the four walls of the cave, but were forcibly suppressed by the five-colored glow.

However, this was not the end. The Immortal Binding Rope let out a dragon's roar that shook the heavens in the void, and the entire rope transformed into a golden rainbow, pouring into Wu Tian's body from the top of his head.

After this Dharma image, cultivated to its peak, merged into his body, it began to disintegrate. One hundred and eight golden lotuses exploded, transforming into surging, ocean-like magical power that roared and surged within his body.

Every drop of Wu Tian's blood, every inch of his bone, and every muscle was dyed a dazzling gold. Unimaginable power was growing within him, and the power of the Immortal Binding Rope Dharma Form was merging with his physical body.

This scenario is unprecedented. If he were to rely solely on his own skills and methods, the only outcome of doing so would be death and the annihilation of his spiritual essence.

However, at this moment, the system generated an invisible secret power that caused the Binding Immortal Rope Dharma Image to gradually and completely merge with his physical body after it collapsed.

This process was incredibly terrifying and extremely dangerous.

Wu Tian felt as if he had been transformed into a mortal body and then thrown into a bronze furnace. The blazing flames burned every inch of his body, and indescribable pain instantly swept over him.

"Ah...ah..."

He suddenly tilted his head back and let out a hysterical howl.

The whistling sound pierced through the rock walls of the Golden Light Cave and soared into the sky.

The clouds in the sky were shaken back by the howling sound, revealing the deep, dark void.

However, under this incredible tempering, his body began to change.

His body began to melt like a wax figure, and strands of golden light flowed from his pores like sweat, then surrounded his body as if burning with brilliant flames.

As time slowly passed, more and more golden light flowed from his body, and the flames surrounding his body became increasingly intense, completely engulfing his entire body.

Wu Tian felt as if his entire body was being burned, and he kept letting out extremely shrill screams. This pain came not only from his physical body, but also from his soul being burned.

He even wished he could just faint, and with his willpower, he even had an impulse to rather die than continue.

It is easy to imagine how terrible this kind of pain must be.

However, at this moment, he couldn't even faint, let alone stop or reverse the process. He could only watch helplessly as his body was gradually burned in the blazing flames.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the last bit of power in his body turned into golden light and flowed out, Wu Tian's body turned to ashes in the flames and disappeared completely.

The golden flames that gathered his physical body and Dharma form, and merged all the power of his Dharma form avatar, soared into the sky at this moment.

A beam of golden light pierced through the sky and through the earth, piercing the dome of the cave, the five-colored clouds, the sky, and the nine heavens.

The entire Heavenly Court was illuminated by that golden light.

All the immortals, Buddhas, gods, and demons were horrified, and even mortal beings saw the towering pillar of light at that moment.

The several Heavenly Lords who had been secretly watching all this could no longer sit idly by, especially Kunpeng and Qinglong, who set off for the Southern Frontier without hesitation.

Two beams of divine light descended from the sky and landed on Baiyun Mountain.

The Lord of the Azure Sky and the Lord of the Blue Sky descended at the same time.

Kunpeng sensed that familiar aura, stared intently at the golden light bursting forth from Baiyun Mountain, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone, "This is the aura of a primordial god or demon. This one has been hiding it very well!"

"I wonder which old friend it is that has secretly entered the Three Realms that we created without any warning. We didn't even notice anything amiss before, and we thought he was a being from the Three Realms."

Even Qinglong said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "No wonder that Great Sun Emperor was able to comprehend time ahead of time and cause ripples in the River of Time, thus attracting my attention."

"It turns out to be a primordial god-demon from the celestial realm."

"That's truly a brilliant tactic!" (End of Chapter)
