Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 102 The Talent of the Zhou Tian Star Aperture Diagram (Please Subscribe)

Wu Tian took a deep breath. He never expected that he would have to go back for help as soon as he stepped out of the Hidden Sword Cave.

Thinking back to how he felt when he left Hidden Sword Cave, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The way of protecting the Dharma is to risk one's life and use fighting and battle to obtain a true scripture.

The "Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture" was not bad at all, and it was able to preserve the life and death principles and talents in the soul and body, which was an excellent thing in theory.

He himself had considered practicing this scripture at the beginning.

There was a prior agreement to obtain the "Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture," and after three years of arduous cultivation, filled with anticipation, he only received the message that there were other obstacles involved.

If the color changes even slightly, it will immediately be hit.

How could he possibly remain calm?!
However, since the demonic path of life and death has not been eliminated from his body, and he is under someone else's roof, if he has the slightest dissatisfaction, he may immediately be in danger of losing his life.

When the ancient demonic path was exposed, Zhu Yeshuang's fierce words still echoed in his ears. How could he dare to be dissatisfied? How could he possibly be dissatisfied?
If your master gives you benefits, you should accept them.

Passing this on is a favor, not passing it on is my right.

Didn't I already pass on three volumes of the "Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture" to you?
Even though they knew the first three volumes were rubble, and that they would have to fight and struggle their whole lives to exchange for the remaining teachings, they were still unaware of the dangers.

He should be grateful, ha!
Wu Tian took a deep breath. Now that he had become a disciple and received the true teachings, he had no choice but to follow this path and first learn the entire "Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture".

Otherwise, if the ancient demonic path within his body is not completely refined, he will sooner or later become a thorn in the side of Taiqing Temple.

It could easily lead to death.

His mind was filled with countless thoughts. When he first entered the Hidden Sword Cave, his demonic path was exposed. He was then taken on as a disciple and given the "Three Hundred and Sixty Heavenly Star Aperture Diagram". After he took human form, he was immediately sent down the mountain.

For three whole years, Wu Tian devoted himself to arduous cultivation, yet he dared not even casually check the system panel, lest he reveal his secrets under the very nose of a Nascent Soul True Person.

The Star Aperture Chart talent that could be awakened after transformation still makes him feel resentful to this day.

Ding! System notification: Your skill "Three Hundred and Sixty Celestial Star Chart" has been mastered to perfection, and you have awakened a new talent. Please choose one of the following three options.

Option 1, the Zhou Tian Fa Ti (Circular Body of Heaven), involves peeling away the animal form to remove the animal skin and merging the star apertures to form a human body. It can absorb and exhale the power of the stars in the Zhou Tian (Circular Heaven), with starlight from the three hundred and sixty apertures entering the body, offering endless wonders.

(Note: The Zhou Tian Fa Ti is a transmission of the Tai Qing Guan's "Zhu Tian Xing Su Ming Tu Jin Fa". Once one has formed the Zhou Tian Fa Ti, one's destiny is entered into the constellations, and one's life is in control of the practitioner's life.)

Option two: The body of an auspicious beast resonates with the bloodline of the auspicious white dog. The 360 ​​star apertures act as locks, sealing away the fierce energy and gathering auspicious and lucky energy. Over time, it transforms into good fortune and attracts blessings.

(Note: The body of an auspicious beast suppresses all laws and is favored by heaven and earth, but it has no claws or teeth, no fighting ability, and is weak. Obtaining it can suppress the sect's fortune.)
Option three: The body of a great demon, using the light of the stars to lock the flesh and soul, suppressing the path of life and death, and transforming bloodline into demon, can gain its benefits while eliminating its drawbacks.

This was only the second time he had seen such a clear trend in the system panel since he acquired the system.

The last time was when the ancient demon god appeared.

The first option is to completely entrust one's life to Taiqing Temple.

Those who practice the "Forbidden Method of the Chart of Destiny of the Celestial Stars" can control their own life and death; if they wish to live, they will live; if they wish to die, they will die.

From that moment on, life and death were no longer in their own hands.

It all depends on someone else's decision.

The second option is to erase all ferocity and become the purest auspicious beast, thus increasing the sect's fortune.

That phrase, "three hundred and sixty star apertures are locked," is truly chilling.

The last option is that the ancient demon god's path and the three hundred and sixty star apertures counterbalance each other, locking the body and soul, causing the bloodline to transform into a great demon.

Three options: transform into a human, transform into an auspicious beast, transform into a great demon...

How should we choose? How can we choose?
Does Zhu Yeshuang truly not know the outcome of practicing the "Three Hundred and Sixty Celestial Aperture Diagram"?
What would have happened to him if he didn't have the system panel?
Therefore, after leaving the Hidden Sword Cave, the resentment and depression in his heart were almost uncontrollable.

Even Chi Limu noticed that something was wrong with him.

The "Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture" is indeed good, but after being chained to the Star Aperture, are they unwilling to even give you the best bones?
They risk their lives, but they don't even have a choice about how to pay for their lives!

How tragic!

"I want to be human too, but you're forcing me to become a demon."

Wu Tian looked at Yin Shuang, who was circling around him, with his fierce and ferocious dog head, and his mood improved a lot.

The billions of demons either hide in the mountains and forests, cultivating themselves through ancient methods.

They can either transform into a dragon, a phoenix, or a human and submit to others.

Without submitting to others, it is difficult to obtain the superior Dharma.

For the billions of demons, it can be said that their path to advancement is controlled by three parties, leaving them with no choice but to sell themselves. They were never part of the direct line, and even if they submitted, they would only become slaves.

But can we blame our ancestors for not working hard enough?

"Now that I am a dog, a demon, I must reflect on the difficulty of obtaining the Dharma, and pave the way for future generations..."

Wu Tian was reluctant to face Zhu Yeshuang, but he had no choice but to go.

Manxiongmu had been kind to him and showed no prejudice against any sect or human, teaching him all his skills without reservation. He treated all his disciples the same, with no difference between them in terms of laughter, anger, and scolding.

In just a few short years, there has been much protection.

Memories of the past, when recalled now, warm my heart.

How could he not save such a good teacher?
The key is that he must get Zhu Yeshuang's permission for this.

This way, we can ensure that no matter what trouble we cause on Skull Mountain, it won't get out of control.

Wu Tian wasn't some brainless idiot who stubbornly charged up Skull Mountain and got himself trapped.

"We're just dogs, what's there to be ashamed of?"

"In Zhu Yeshuang's eyes now, I should be considered a dog that's already on a leash, right?"

"What does it matter if we beg her to help us rescue Manxiong Mu?"

Wu Tian thought silently as he stepped out of the stone cave, with Yin Shuang following closely behind him.

"Hey, fox, what's going on with that pig demon? Why was it able to transform into human form ahead of schedule?"

After being severely injured, the fox ran wildly and bled all the way, and now it is almost dead.

"It was originally raised by the people in the village at the foot of the mountain, but it accidentally swallowed a fairy fruit and gained sentience."

"I have personally witnessed my fellow human beings being skinned, dismembered, fried, or cooked."

"After escaping the village, I hid in the mountains to cultivate myself and developed a love for cooking."

Wu Tian was speechless. Recalling the so-called Star Aperture, he suddenly lost his desire to kill. He casually withdrew the rampant lightning from the fox's body. "Fine, get lost..."

Having said that, a gust of wind whipped up the silver frost and headed towards Skull Mountain.

A fierce wind lashed their faces along the way. After being trapped in the underground fire cave for three years, they were about to return to that cave.

Even Wu Tian himself didn't know how he felt right now.

Once they reached the skies above White Dog Village, Wu Tian returned Silver Frost, instructing it not to venture out unnecessarily. Then, he looked up at Skull Mountain and silently went up the mountain.

Before long, they arrived at the Hidden Sword Cave. Seeing that the cave entrance was tightly closed, Wu Tian gritted his teeth, swayed, and prostrated himself on the ground. "Disciple Bai Long'er requests an audience with Master."

At this moment, the hideous and ugly dog ​​head and the fur all over his body seemed to dispel some of the pent-up frustration of his hunched back and bent knees. He was just a dog, so what was there to be ashamed of?
Zhu Yeshuang's primordial spirit merged with Skull Mountain, unaware of her own arrival.

Did she really not know that Manxiong Mu had been arrested?
Perhaps it's because they don't care!
Wu Tian's three years of studying Taoist scriptures were not entirely fruitless. At least he understood that the merits accumulated by Taoist practitioners were not about saving lives or eliminating demons, but about accumulating the merits of heaven and earth and the virtues of all things.

Being able to follow the will of Heaven and allow the laws of Heaven and Earth to operate naturally is a meritorious act.

As for ordinary people and demons, there is no difference in the eyes of practitioners.

"What business do you have? You just came down the mountain, why have you returned?" Zhu Yeshuang's cold words echoed in the air, resounding through the mountains and forests.

Wu Tian lowered his head and pleaded, "I only heard after I went down the mountain that the Barbarian Bear Wood of Qiyun Cave on Skull Mountain, which had previously taught me the Dharma, was taken away by the people of Skull Mountain."

"Master Manxiongmu has a deep affection and kindness for his disciples."

"I dare not fail to repay this kindness."

"Upon hearing that Master Manxiongmu is in trouble today, your disciple begs for a decree to save him."

"I am deeply grateful for this great kindness and virtue."

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence.

After a long silence, Zhu Yeshuang finally spoke, "You little rascal, you're still grateful. In that case, go and take him down the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian gripped the iron rod tightly and asked in a deep voice, "What if Skull Mountain refuses to release them?"

Zhu Yeshuang said in a calm tone, "Then take it back."

Wu Tian then asked, "What if someone blocks our way?"

Zhu Yeshuang closed her eyes: "Anyone who blocks the way may be killed."

Wu Tian didn't ask any more questions. Zhu Yeshuang's meaning was already very clear: he would handle the younger ones, but if any of the older ones dared to take action...

Ha, so he has some powerful backers now?

"I understand, Master. I'll be going now."

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he saw Chi Limu rushing out of the cave.

"Junior brother, you must be careful. If things get too difficult, come back and call me. I'll bring the Qingli Sword to help you." Chi Limu called out from behind him.

Wu Tian paused slightly, and the somewhat ferocious dog head turned back to look at her, grinned, and strode away with the iron rod in hand.

After Wu Tian's figure walked out of the cave, Zhu Yeshuang murmured, "This dog has not transformed into human form. Could it be that it has become a mythical beast? But mythical beasts are always beasts. Let's see what he can do first."

"And then there's Lu Daoqing. With his fire acupoint about to be suppressed, he's probably going to cause trouble."

"This is the perfect opportunity to force him to make a move..."

Her primordial spirit sensed the heavens and earth, and apart from the White Bone Palace which she could not perceive, nothing that happened on the entire Skull Mountain could escape her notice.

……

Wu Tian, ​​with white fur all over his body, a dog's head and a human body, and carrying a seven-foot-nine-inch iron rod in his right hand, strode forward from the halfway point of Skull Mountain to the summit.

He walked on in silence, his hair billowing in the wind.

This scene was so conspicuous that it was quickly spotted by the disciples of Skull Mountain.

"What kind of demon dares to trespass on my Skull Mountain?" The disciples guarding the mountain quickly surrounded them. Most of these disciples were at the Qi Cultivation Realm. They could usually deal with some monsters, but ordinary demons would not dare to venture up the mountain.

Wu Tian had no intention of wasting words with these people. He strode forward without saying a word, only gripping the iron rod in his hand even tighter.

The disciples guarding the mountain were not ignorant; they knew that something capable of transforming into human form was at least a powerful demon, far beyond their capabilities.

But seeing that the demons were about to break into the mountain gate, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and block them, using various spells from a distance.

boom! boom! boom!
The whips and iron rods fell on his body, but Wu Tian didn't even flinch, and not a single hair on his body was lost.

He was covered in copper skin and iron bones, impervious to swords and spears. How could these useless people, who were not even as good as demons, possibly harm a single hair on his head?
If anyone dared to block his way, he would casually sweep out his iron rod, and their bones would break and they would fall to the ground howling in pain.

Just as Wu Tian was about to enter the mountain gate, one of the disciples became anxious and, wielding an iron hammer, struck Wu Tian directly on the back of the head.

boom!
The hammer slammed into his skull, sparks flying.

Click!

Wu Tian twisted his neck, and the ferocious dog head suddenly turned back, then looked at the disciple, revealing its cold fangs.

"You'll take this too!"

boom!
He lifted the heavy iron rod, which weighed a full 720 pounds, with one hand and then slammed it down.

boom!
With a deafening explosion, the head shattered, scattering crimson blood, white brain matter, and broken bone fragments everywhere—a truly gruesome scene.

"Ha...you ignorant fool!"

Wu Tian spoke in human language, picked up the blood-stained iron rod, and continued walking towards the mountain gate.

A barely perceptible wisp of life and death energy surged out from the headless corpse and entered his body.

When the life and death energies enter the body, they split in two: the life force returns to the physical body, while the death energy enters the soul.

To this day, even without practicing the true methods, his demonic cultivation has not been destroyed!

Wu Tian paused slightly, noticing the change. His golden eyes narrowed, but he did not linger.

As he stepped through the mountain gate shrouded by the dragon's head, a golden talisman on his body flickered slightly without causing any disturbance to the forbidden magic. Thus, he entered the gate of Skull Mountain in a dignified manner.

Only after his figure disappeared from sight did the stunned disciples guarding the mountain come to their senses.

"what……"

Some people were so frightened that they screamed, while others began to gag violently as they looked at the headless corpse lying in a pool of blood.

Some people were so frightened that they fainted on the spot.

These disciples sent to guard the mountain were all disciples at the Qi Cultivation Realm in their respective caves. Their cultivation was weak, and they were not very old. They were just there to complete their sect's mission and accumulate some merit.

Normally, no external enemies dare to directly break into the mountain gate, so this sect mission is relatively safe.

But who could have imagined that a powerful demon would come knocking on our door today, and so brazenly barge into our mountain gate?

"Quickly, quickly, report to the steward... A powerful demon has invaded the mountain!"

Outside the mountain gate, chaos erupted instantly.

Some disciples simply donned animal clothing, transforming themselves into birds and beasts, and ran around wildly.

Some reported to their superiors, some chased after the great demon, and some hurriedly fled back to their own caves.

This situation is no different from that of wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
