Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

A quarter of an hour later, a beam of light descended from the sky, revealing an old man dressed in a wide black robe.

The old man appeared to be around sixty years old, with a gaunt face, three long strands of beard hanging down to his chest, a bronze crown on his head, and a flag in his hand. The flag was made of fire-resistant gauze and was entirely crimson.

He stood tall and straight, exuding an aura of profound composure, with a faint glow of fire surrounding him.

It was none other than the Lu family patriarch, the Jade Yang Immortal.

However, at this moment, the face of this Nascent Soul True Person was so gloomy that it could drip water. His divine sense swept across a radius of a hundred miles like a tide, but he only saw a scene of devastation.

Collapsed mountains, evaporating rivers, scorched and cracked earth, and the lingering aftershocks of magical power...

But Lu Jiuchuan himself vanished without a trace, leaving not even a trace of flesh or a wisp of his soul.

"Jiuchuan...is he dead?"

Master Yuyang muttered to himself, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes, which was then replaced by overwhelming rage.

Lu Jiuchuan is the most talented descendant of his lineage. He possesses the true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire and is expected to condense a magic pearl and achieve the Dao embryo within a hundred years.

He invested a lot of resources in Lu Jiuchuan, just waiting for him to grow up and take over the Lu family.

But now, the person is dead.

They died completely, without even the chance to be reincarnated and start anew.

"Damn beast!" Master Yuyang roared, his voice like thunder, causing rocks to fall from the surrounding mountains. "How dare you kill the young master of the Lu family?!"

He rushed over as soon as he received Lu Jiuchuan's message, but he was still too late. "Jiuchuan used a forbidden technique before he died, but he was still killed."

"Good...very good..." Master Yuyang laughed in extreme anger, his eyes flashing with cold light, "A strange demon with ancient bloodline, yet to become a king..."

"Since you killed my Lu family's heir, you will pay with your life."

“A great demon with ancient bloodline, offered to the Fire God Palace, can at least be exchanged for three Crimson Sun Longevity Pills.”

He was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage by using the forbidden technique of the Lu family to cultivate the guards, which squeezed out his lifespan and potential. Not only was his foundation shallow, but his lifespan even decreased instead of increasing.

Ordinary longevity pills are of little use to a Nascent Soul True Person. Only the longevity pill, a secret of the Fire God Palace, is compatible with the true blood of the Lu family and contains a trace of pure Yang vitality, which can prolong his life.

You think you can escape?

Master Yuyang sneered, waved his banner, and flames surged around him. "You beast, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I, your ancestor, will drag you out, extract your soul, refine your spirit, and skin you to exchange for your core."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a crimson rainbow, following the faint aura of a ferocious beast in the air, and chased after it into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The Ten Thousand Mountains stretch for countless miles, with steep slopes, ancient trees reaching for the sky, and shrouded in clouds and mist year-round.

Even with the massive invasion of the Vulcan Palace, the most central part of this mountain is still firmly occupied by the Undying Palace. The high-level forces of both sides are locked in a stalemate and are currently in a standoff.

In these deep mountains and old forests, not only is there a demon king, but also countless ancient species, ferocious beasts and strange creatures lurking, making it a place fraught with danger and hidden killing intent.

Wu Tian transformed into a crimson shadow, speeding through the mountains.

With the blessing of the moon, his speed reached its limit, each step covering dozens of feet, his figure like a ghost, leaving a trail of faint flames in the forest.

Its crimson fur clung tightly to its body, undulating slightly with the rhythm of its run. Its muscles were smooth and explosive, and its four paws landed silently, yet each step landed firmly on the most stable rocks or tree roots, leaving no trace.

With the Thousand-Mile Eyes talent fully activated, one can perceive all information within a thousand miles, including mountain ranges, river distribution, monster lairs, cultivator caves, natural traps, poisonous miasma areas, and more—every detail is as clear as the lines on one's palm.

Even the smallest details of one's own body, such as blood flow, magical energy fluctuations, aura leakage, and hair trembling, can be perceived with exquisite detail.

It was precisely because of his ability to see far that he was able to conceal his aura to the extreme, making him appear like a true mortal beast.

At this moment, Wu Tian was like the most cunning predator, traversing the perilous jungle, seeking good fortune and avoiding danger, concealing his whereabouts.

In fact, if he hadn't deliberately left a trace of his aura, that old man wouldn't have been able to detect a single hair on his head.

"The aristocratic families are in too much chaos. If this old man returns now, I don't know if he will harbor ill intentions towards Nan Xi."

"We still need to delay for a while until Nanxi has made a complete breakthrough and gained a firm foothold before we get rid of this old man."

However, Wu Tian did not dare to be careless in the slightest, as Yu Yang Zhenren was a Yuan Shen Realm cultivator, two whole major realms higher than him.

He is currently just a powerful demon, still honing his magical power and condensing his spells.

The Primordial Spirit Realm has already transformed from a Dao Embryo into a Primordial Spirit. With every move, it can influence the laws of heaven and earth. Even if the Primordial Spirit of Ancestor Yuyang is weak, it can directly crush him to death.

If Wu Tian hadn't possessed the bloodline of Huodou and been blessed with innate supernatural abilities such as the Sun and Moon Heavenly Wheel Divine Seed and the Thousand-Mile Eye, he wouldn't even have had the chance to escape. He would have been locked onto by divine sense and captured and suppressed in a single encounter.

"We must create distance and use the terrain to our advantage..."

Wu Tian's mind raced. His Thousand-Mile Eyes scanned the terrain ahead. Eight hundred miles to the left, there was a swamp of ten thousand poisons, perpetually filled with multicolored poisonous miasma. The miasma could not only corrode the physical body and erode the soul, but also interfere with divine sense detection.

Moreover, a group of bone-rotting crocodiles inhabits the area. They are thick-skinned and adept at burrowing underground, making them very difficult to deal with.

Six hundred miles to the right lies the Black Wind Canyon, where a bone-chilling black wind blows year-round. The wind is like a knife cutting through the air and contains a malevolent aura that can erode magical power.

Previously, this place belonged to a great demon king, the Black Wind Monster, who was eccentric in nature. However, he perished during the great battle between the Fire God Palace and the Undying Palace.

"To the Swamp of Ten Thousand Poisons!"

Wu Tian made a decision instantly. Once that old thing caught up with him, it wouldn't be so easy for him to escape. The Ten Thousand Poison Swamp could interfere with the divine sense of a Nascent Soul True Person, which would make it easier for him to escape.

With his mind made up, Wu Tian adjusted his direction and sped towards the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp.

With the blessing of the moon wheel, the speed increased dramatically.

However, Master Yuyang's escape light was even faster, and it was rapidly approaching his location.

About half an hour later, Wu Tian felt a vast, ocean-like divine sense descend from the sky behind him, like an invisible net, enveloping the mountains and forests, sweeping over every piece of land, every blade of grass, and every rock.

"It came so fast!"

Wu Tian stopped running in a straight line and began to use the terrain to get rid of the enemy. Sometimes he would sneak into the dense forest and use the canopy of ancient trees to cover his body; sometimes he would dive into the underground river and use the water to wash away his breath; sometimes he would leap up the steep cliff and shuttle among the jagged rocks.

With the help of a clairvoyant ability, it can move through the mesh of a net like a fish.

Master Yuyang frowned slightly. His divine sense had clearly locked onto the aura of that beast, but whenever he tried to lock onto it completely, the beast would always slip away in a strange way, as if it could predict his exploration trajectory.

"Indeed, there's some skill involved..." Master Yuyang sneered, the banner in his hand trembling, "But the difference in cultivation level cannot be bridged by such petty tricks!"

……

Lu Family Mountain City, Jade Tower.

The once exquisite and magnificent pavilions are now in a state of utter devastation.

Lu Qingshuang and Lu Hongshang, two plump and beautiful guards, lay in pools of blood, their faces frozen in terror and resentment. The bodies of thirty-six elite guards lay scattered on the ground, their blood staining the bluestone slabs.

In stark contrast to the bloody and desolate outer room was the inner chamber of the Jade Pavilion.

Lu Nanxi sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyes closed, her expression extremely solemn.

Her skin, which was originally as white and delicate as jade, now radiated a warm golden light from the inside out, as if a blazing flame was hidden inside a beautiful jade.

His already exquisite features now possessed an added air of dignified and unapproachable heroism.

Most astonishing was the aura emanating from her body—vast, fiery, and majestic, like a dormant volcano about to awaken and erupt with world-destroying power.

Deep within her sea of ​​consciousness, the blood bead formed from the true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire had reached its ultimate refinement.

It is golden and translucent, like the finest amber, with liquid flames flowing inside, and its surface is covered with complex and mysterious golden incantations containing the laws of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the blood bead slowly rotated, and with each rotation, it scattered countless golden light spots, which merged into her limbs, bones, meridians, and acupoints, undergoing final tempering and sublimation.

As long as one can completely fuse this blood bead with the magic talisman and magic power one has cultivated, and unite one's essence, energy and spirit with the laws of heaven and earth, it can be transformed into a Heavenly Blazing Fire Magic Bead.

Lu Nanxi's breakthrough went very smoothly. After cultivating with Wu Tian, ​​the true blood in her body underwent a significant transformation and sublimation. What used to be an insurmountable barrier now seemed to be a natural progression.

But in her heart, there was no joy, only heavy worry and anxiety.

Although she was in a critical moment of seclusion to break through her limitations, she was not completely cut off from the outside world.

Outside, Wu Tian's earth-shattering roar, followed by the booming of battle, the deafening crash of collapsing buildings, the shrill screams of the Lu family cultivators before their deaths, and that familiar aura of the Huodou bloodline...

Everything struck her heart like a heavy hammer.

She knew that Wu Tian was buying her time by engaging in a bloody battle with Lu Jiuchuan and the entire Lu Family Mountain City's defense forces.

"You must... stay safe..."

She cleared her mind of all distractions, and the blood bead in her sea of ​​consciousness suddenly began to spin faster.

We can't wait any longer; we must break through as soon as possible.

Only by condensing the magic pearl and possessing sufficient power can one control the situation...

"Condensate for me!!"

Lu Nanxi suddenly formed a complex and ancient hand seal with her hands, and the magic power that was originally flowing slowly around her instantly boiled like an oil sea that had been ignited.

The light purple silk dress billowed with violent magic, tightly wrapping around her stunningly undulating body, making her waist appear even more slender, her hips full like a round moon, and the front of the dress was stretched almost to the point of tearing, revealing a small patch of snow-white, delicate skin with exquisite collarbones.

Her fair, jade-like cheeks instantly flushed a breathtaking crimson, as if she had applied the finest rouge.

Fine, glistening beads of sweat seeped from her forehead, the tip of her nose, and the sides of her neck, sliding down her smooth chin and graceful neck, leaving dark, damp stains on her clothes, adding to her breathtakingly alluring and fragile charm.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the blood beads that had accumulated to their peak suddenly exploded.

Countless golden incantations and the purest essence of the Dutian Blazing Fire Blood gushed out from the exploding blood bead, intertwining with the talismans and magical power she cultivated, transforming into a radiant glow.

Rumble!
The dazzling and brilliant rays of light intertwined, combined, collapsed, and condensed wildly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

As the cultivation technique is activated, a new structure that is more complex, more stable, and resonates with the laws of heaven and earth is rapidly taking shape.

hum!
An invisible wave, centered on Yulou, swept across the entire mountain city.

In the next instant, a fist-sized, golden-light-flowing, crimson-dragon-encircled Heavenly Fiery Pearl solidified completely and floated steadily in the center of Lu Nanxi's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Boom!!!"

A pillar of flame, ten times stronger than the previous breakthrough aura, shot up from Lu Nanxi's crown chakra without warning.

The sturdy roof of the Jade Tower was burned to ashes like paper.

The beam of light shot straight into the sky, and in the high sky, it vaguely transformed into a hundred-zhang-tall, slightly illusory but awe-inspiring pillar of divine fire.

It was far more solid and vast than what Lu Jiuchuan summoned by burning his true blood, its magnificent divine power enveloping the mountain city, with all the fire elemental energies paying homage to the Jade Tower!

"That's... the Second Miss's Jade Pavilion?!"

"Heavens! This aura... Dao Embryo? It's the Dao Embryo Realm!"

"The Second Miss has successfully condensed the Heavenly Blazing Fire Pearl!!"

"My Lu family has finally produced another direct descendant of the Dao Embryo..."

The remaining Lu family cultivators, whether they were treating the wounded or still in shock, all looked up at the direction of the Jade Tower, their faces filled with shock, elation, envy, and a complex mix of emotions.

The Dao Embryo cultivated by a direct descendant is completely different from the Dao Embryo obtained through the secret method of the Capital Guard, which means that she has a chance to break through to the Primordial Spirit.

Even if it's a breakthrough to the primordial spirit using the secret techniques of the Capital Guard, the significance to the family is completely different.

After a dozen or so breaths, the towering pillar of flame slowly dissipated.

Lu Nanxi's thick eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes.

In her pupils, a crimson dragon was rolling and roaring, coiling around the pillar, filled with an incomparably terrifying power, like a suppressed volcano, ready to erupt at any moment and burn everything in flames.

All the magical runes merged into one, and under the nurturing of bloodline, the seeds of two great supernatural powers awakened.

The Crimson Dragon Heaven-Reaching Technique and the Heavenly Pillar are both divine abilities condensed by the true bloodline of the Lu family. However, most people who break through can only condense one of these divine abilities.

Lu Nanxi slowly stood up. As she moved, the light purple skirt slid down like flowing water, covering her long, straight legs again and revealing her slender ankles and a glimpse of fair skin.

Her waist was still so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, but it stood straight as a pine tree, supporting her proud chest curves.

Her long hair was draped like clouds, and in the afterglow of the lingering flames, the ends of her hair seemed to be edged with a faint gold.

At this moment, she was not like an ordinary person, but more like a goddess born from flames and descended to earth, breathtakingly beautiful, and with an inviolable majesty.

Her mind, like quicksilver, swept across the entire Lu Family Mountain City, revealing a devastated battlefield and a thick stench of blood.

But then, her heart clenched suddenly.

At an extremely distant distance that her mind could vaguely sense, two incredibly familiar auras were chasing and fleeing at terrifying speeds, heading deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

A fiery, fierce, and unyielding wildness—that was the lecherous fellow.

Another one, vast as the sea, blazing as the sun, carrying undisguised greed and murderous intent.

"It's...the Ancestor?!" (End of Chapter)
