Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

As the battle reached its climax, Qinglong, who had been watching the fight from above Baiyun Mountain, frowned deeply.

He was dressed in a green robe and wore a horned crown. His face was handsome and refined, and his dragon eyes were full of worry. He looked at the torn and shattered void in the sky and sighed, "We can't let them fight like this anymore. If it continues, the entire Three Realms will be completely destroyed. At that time, the four seas will be overturned, the world will be turned upside down, and countless lives will be lost."

Chi Xiao stood beside him with her hands behind her back, her beautiful face expressionless, her phoenix eyes coldly watching the two figures colliding in the sky.

Don't you find it a little strange?

Qinglong was taken aback: "What?"

Chi Xiao's gaze remained fixed on the battlefield, his voice clear and resolute: "From beginning to end, Da Chi has not made a move."

She paused, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and five-colored light swirled deep within her pupils: "Even in the last great battle, he only revealed his cultivation level to intimidate you, so that you dared not participate in the battle."

Upon hearing this, Qinglong's expression changed slightly, a thoughtful look appearing on his face. He pondered for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "You mean..."

Kunpeng, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that he's bluffing? Is that fifth-level cultivation just a facade?"

Chi Xiao shook his head. "His cultivation at the fifth level is very likely real. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fool Qinglong."

“But…” she changed the subject, her tone becoming sharp, “His current state is definitely not right.”

Kunpeng and Qinglong looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Chi Xiao withdrew her gaze, turned around, and a resolute look appeared on her beautiful face. Five-colored rays of light surged from her body, dyeing half of the sky into a light curtain interwoven with the five virtues.

"So...I've decided..."

Her voice was calm yet firm, each word carrying weight.

"Let's take this opportunity to make a trip to Da Chi Tian."

Upon hearing this, both Kunpeng and Qinglong's expressions changed simultaneously.

Azure Dragon subconsciously took a step forward, his tone hesitant and uncertain: "Red Cloud, have you thought this through? Once you attack Great Red Heaven, you'll completely break off relations. At that point, it will be too late to undo the damage."

Chi Xiao glanced back at him, her phoenix eyes showing no hesitation, only a cold and decisive resolve: "If he really is at the fifth level of cultivation, then even if all of us join forces, we still wouldn't be his match."

“Something must have gone wrong with him. This may be our best, and only, chance.”

She stretched out her jade-like hand and pointed at the two figures colliding wildly in the sky: "You two help Wutian hold the line and don't let Yuxu escape."

"I'm going to Da Chitian myself to see what's going on with that old guy."

Before she finished speaking, five-colored rays of light shot up from her body and transformed into a crimson phoenix that blotted out the sky.

The phoenix was engulfed in blazing flames that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas; each feather was a manifestation of the Five Virtues Immortal Light. With a flap of its wings, it tore through the void. The phoenix's cry shook the nine heavens, and Chi Xiao's figure transformed into a long rainbow, soaring towards the Great Crimson Heaven.
Kunpeng and Qinglong watched her departing figure, exchanged a glance, and their expressions became extremely solemn.

……

The vast crimson sky, the dark, golden palace.

Chi Xiao landed before the palace gate. She looked up at the majestic and ancient palace, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

The palace gates were wide open, and a soft light shone through the hall. A blue lamp burned quietly beside a prayer mat. The Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable sat cross-legged on the prayer mat, his eyes slightly closed, his face calm and serene, as if he had long anticipated her arrival.

Chi Xiao strode into the hall, leaving a dazzling trail of five-colored light behind her.

She stopped opposite the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable, without bowing or exchanging pleasantries, and went straight to the point: "Heavenly Venerable, I have come here for only one thing: please stop the investiture of gods."

The Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable slowly opened his eyes, his eyes, which contained countless galaxies, calmly gazing at her. His voice was old and peaceful: "The conferment of gods is related to the operation of the laws of the Three Realms. Only when all the gods return to their positions can the order of heaven and earth be stabilized."

"Stopping the investiture of gods at this time will only cause problems in the operation of the Three Realms and shake the foundation of heaven and earth. This matter must not be done."

Chi Xiao squinted at him for a long time.

The hall fell silent for a moment, with only the flickering light of the blue lamps, their gentle glow flowing quietly between the two.

After a long while, Chi Xiao finally spoke slowly, his voice as cold as frost: "Since the Heavenly Venerable forbids it, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Before she finished speaking, a burst of five-colored light erupted around her.

Behind her, three heavens appeared, with the Xuan Tian and Huang Tian overlapping. A pagoda floated between the two heavens, and the Chi Tian's blazing divine flames transformed into a sea of ​​fire that swept across the four directions. The power of the three heavens erupted in an instant, and the entire Xuan Tian Golden Palace trembled violently under her pressure.

A crimson phoenix appeared behind her, crying out to the sky, its wings transforming into celestial blades that slashed down at the Great Crimson Celestial Venerable.

This God acted immediately upon hearing the word, without the slightest hesitation.

The Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable looked at the blazing heavenly blade slashing towards him, his face still expressionless, only letting out a slight sigh, his voice echoing in the empty hall.

"Why bother? This will only bring suffering to all living beings in the Three Realms, and you will also suffer a great calamity in the future."

The phoenix wings fell like celestial blades, splitting the entire Xuanqiong Golden Palace in two.

The prayer mats, the green lamps, the clear light... everything in the hall was shattered inch by inch under the slash of the blazing heavenly blade.

The figure of the Great Crimson Celestial Venerable vanished silently amidst the flashing sword light, like a dream or a bubble.

Chi Xiao's phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed.

She stood amidst the ruins of the desolate Xuanqiong Golden Palace, her brow furrowed as she watched the fading, clear light slowly dissipate. Five-colored rays of light surged around her, her fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned slightly white.

"Just a brand?!"

Chi Xiao's voice was filled with disbelief, but even more so with the chilling feeling that came from a confirmed guess.

She had long suspected that the old man was not in good condition, but she never expected that the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable who remained in the Three Realms and was looked up to by all beings in the Three Realms for countless years was actually just an incarnation of a brand.

Where did his real body go?
Countless thoughts raced through Chi Xiao's mind. If he were hiding in other parts of the Three Realms, it would be impossible to hide it from the other Heavenly Lords. If he had left the Three Realms, there would be no need for all these schemes.

"Could it be... in the ruins of the Heavenly Court?"

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Chi Xiao's expression changed drastically.

She thought of the Investiture of the Gods, the God-Slaying Whip, and the three hundred and sixty-five divine positions.

"No wonder his cultivation progress over these ten thousand years has been abnormally fast..."

“If he already knew some of the secrets of the Heavenly Court ruins and his true body escaped into them, then everything makes sense.”

Thinking of this, Chi Xiao's face turned extremely ugly. Without hesitation, she rushed out of the Great Crimson Heaven, her figure leaving a long rainbow that pierced through the sky and earth. She rushed towards the Heavenly Court battlefield while transmitting her voice to Qinglong and Kunpeng. Her voice was urgent and sharp, piercing through layers of void and reaching the ears of the two Heavenly Lords.

"The one in the Great Crimson Heaven is merely an incarnation of a brand. The true body of the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable is not in the Three Realms. He may have already entered the ruins of the Heavenly Court and has mastered the secrets and authority of the ancient Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing this, both Qinglong and Kunpeng's expressions changed drastically.

Qinglong's handsome and refined face was filled with shock and horror, and his hands under his dragon robe trembled slightly.

Incredulity flashed in Kunpeng's deep, abyss-like eyes. "This... how is this possible?!"

"We will immediately join forces to capture and interrogate Jade Void Celestial Venerable." Chi Xiao's voice transmission sounded again, his tone resolute, "Otherwise, if we really wait until Great Crimson Celestial Venerable returns from the ruins, we will all be in big trouble."

Before the message had even finished, Chi Xiao had already charged into the Heavenly Court battlefield.

Behind her, three layers of heavens rose and fell, and five-colored rays of light poured down like a celestial river. A twenty-four-layered Xuanhuang Pagoda burst out from the Xuanhuang Heaven, crashing down towards Jade Void Celestial Venerable with the force of the collapse of heaven and earth.

Jade Void Celestial Venerable was already being suppressed by Wu Tian when Chi Xiao suddenly made a move, and the twenty-four layers of Xuanhuang Pagoda caused the protective Ruyi Immortal Light to dissipate.

Wu Tian seized the opportunity and smashed a punch into the forehead, causing the Celestial Venerable to bleed profusely and stagger.

"Chixiao, Wutian...you are courting death!"

Jade Void Celestial Venerable roared hysterically, “You are courting death! When Great Red returns, you will all be punished!”

"You will all die!"

Chi Xiao sneered, "We clearly agreed that the six of us would create the world together and explore the mysteries of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins, but you secretly sneaked into the Heavenly Court to seek your own benefits."

"Since you dare to do it, don't blame me for turning against you."

She was too lazy to say anything more. The Xuanhuang Pagoda suppressed the universe, sealed the heavens and locked the earth, preventing the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable from escaping. Then, the Crimson Sky landed in her hand and transformed into a Phoenix Wing Heavenly Blade, which shone with an incomparably dazzling blade light.

"Yu Xu, prepare to die!"

hum!
The dazzling sword light tore through the void, engulfing Jade Void Celestial Venerable.

Wu Tian attacked almost simultaneously. The Seven Treasures Tree unleashed its precious light, engulfing his body. Then, accompanied by the roar of a ferocious beast, he threw a punch, as if an abyss had descended, ready to devour and submerge everything.

Jade Void Celestial Venerable was attacked by the two together and was instantly in danger.

……

Just as the three Heavenly Lords were battling in the Nine Heavens, Kunpeng and Azure Dragon exchanged a glance and simultaneously transformed into two long rainbows, rushing towards the Great Crimson Heaven.

When they landed on the ruins of the Xuanqiong Golden Palace and saw the empty, dilapidated ancient hall, their expressions finally turned extremely grim.

The clear light that had flowed through the Xuanqiong Golden Palace for countless millennia had completely dissipated, leaving only a few wisps of light drifting eerily among the ruins, as if offering a final lament for the destruction of this ancient palace.

The prayer mat was empty; the green lamp lay broken on the ground, its flame long since extinguished.

Kunpeng's face was gloomy. He punched a broken pillar in the ruins, smashing the pillar, which was made of some unknown material, to pieces: "I never thought that he would secretly enter the Heavenly Court ruins all these years. This old fox has deceived all of us."

"No wonder his cultivation improved so quickly, reaching the fifth level in such a short time. The ruins of the Heavenly Court indeed hold the secrets of the ancient Heavenly Emperor."

Qinglong stood amidst the ruins, his expression shifting constantly, his fingers unconsciously clenching and unclenching.

After a long while, he suddenly turned around and, without saying a word, transformed into a streak of azure light and burst out of the Great Crimson Sky.

Kunpeng was taken aback: "Azure Dragon! Where are you going?"

The Azure Dragon did not answer, but transformed directly into a ten-thousand-foot-tall divine dragon, its body coiling above the sky, its scales shimmering with dazzling azure light in the sunlight.

He looked up and let out a long dragon roar, then plunged headfirst into the azure sky he had created.

The azure sky surged violently under the stirring of his dragon body, and the blue-green sky seemed to be kneaded by an invisible giant hand, beginning to collapse, condense, and compress inward.

As Kunpeng burst forth from the Great Crimson Heaven, he witnessed a scene that left him speechless.

The Azure Dragon actually refined the entire Azure Sky into a fist-sized emerald pearl. The pearl was crystal clear, with clouds surging and mountains and rivers spreading out inside, and countless dragons swimming and dwelling in the world within the pearl.

With a jade pearl in his mouth, this Lord of the Azure Sky descended straight down from the ninth heaven, his ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon body stirring up towering waves in the East Sea.

The azure pearl formed from the blue sky in his mouth radiated divine light.

In an instant, countless waterspouts rose from the East Sea, each carrying the elite of the dragon race.

The divine dragons, true dragons, and numerous flood dragons in the East Sea Dragon Palace were summoned by this innate divine dragon using its great supernatural powers, transforming into countless streams of light that surged into the Azure Heaven Pearl.

All of this lasted for a full hour. The Azure Dragon swallowed the pearl, and its enormous head turned to look at Chi Xiao, who was joining forces with Wu Tian to attack Jade Void Celestial Venerable on the Heavenly battlefield.

His dragon eyes were filled with a complex and unfathomable expression. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, his voice old and deep, like the sound of a morning bell and evening drum echoing between heaven and earth.

“Chixiao, things have developed to this point, which is not what I wanted, and it is no longer something I can get involved in.”

His voice carried a hint of apology, a touch of helplessness, but even more so, a deep unease. "I plan to leave the Three Realms now, you..."

"Be very careful."

Hearing these words during the battle, Chi Xiao shattered the sword light that was slashing at him with a palm strike, and in the process, broke Yu Xu Tianzun's right hand, blood splattering everywhere. Without turning his head, he angrily rebuked, "Qinglong, you really are a cowardly mudfish. After all these years, all you know how to do when you encounter trouble is run away. You are simply an insult to the status of a primordial god and demon."

Qinglong did not refute, but only sighed softly, his voice full of indescribable bitterness and helplessness.

"Feel sorry."

After uttering those two words, he activated the Azure Heaven Pearl without hesitation. The pearl emitted a dazzling emerald light, encompassing the entire East Sea Dragon Palace within it.

Then, the ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon body suddenly swung, its tail shattering the void, soaring into the sky and rushing towards the chaos beyond the heavens without looking back.

Wherever the dragon's body passed, a long-lasting blue crack was plowed into the sky, from which the faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard echoing endlessly.

No one expected that after the secret of the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable was exposed, the Azure Dragon, a primordial god-demon, would choose to leave the Three Realms immediately.

This result was unexpected by everyone.

Meanwhile, Kunpeng, who was standing blankly in the Great Crimson Sky, saw that the Azure Dragon had really left the Three Realms. Suddenly, a fierce and ruthless light appeared in his eyes, and a crazy and ferocious look appeared on his face.

"Old man, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return." (End of Chapter)
