Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Ancestor Yuyang's face showed excitement: "If a great demon king who has broken through to the Demon Saint realm fails to break through, her corpse and inner core will all be supreme treasures. This will be a feast for the senses."

"Lady Zhurong and the Cao family joined forces to summon the six great families of the Southern Frontier to jointly besiege and kill the demon immortal Bai Qian."

"Although my Lu family has declined, we are still a prominent family and are among those invited. You will come with me to attend the ceremony."

"Even if we can't get Bai Qian's inner core, as long as we can get a share or two, it will be of great benefit to my Lu family."

"I need to go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation, I don't have time to go." Lu Nanxi refused without even thinking.

Going to a wedding with this old scoundrel? She felt uneasy all over and was even more afraid that something might happen along the way.

"It's settled then." Master Yuyang's tone left no room for doubt. "This grand event is a great opportunity for you to witness the top forces in the Southern Frontier and broaden your horizons. It will also benefit your cultivation."

"Besides, you are about to become the matriarch of the Lu family, so you should get to know these aristocratic families in advance."

"There's no need to discuss this further. We'll depart promptly three months from now."

Looking at Lu Nanxi's beautiful face, which instantly turned as cold as ice, and her alluring figure, the heat and possessiveness in his heart rose again.

“You little vixen, once we get to Kunming Pool, find that old ghost, get the Immortal Binding Rope from him, and see how I deal with you.”

He barely suppressed his anger and waved his hand: "Alright, go ahead."

"Take good care of this mountain town, and we'll set off together in three months."

"I will leave the mountain town after this wedding."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Lu Nanxi clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, leaving bloody marks. She coldly glanced at the disappearing figure of Master Yuyang, and after a long while, she slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"You old thief, one day I will cut you into a thousand pieces."

The whispers faded with the wind. She didn't care whether the old thief could hear her or not. She straightened her back and walked away step by step.

The tattered silver-gray skirt swayed slightly in the wind, revealing a section of snow-white calf that stood out starkly against the dust and ruins.

All that remained was the ravaged land and the cultivators in the distant mountain city watching from afar, whispering amongst themselves.

……

The Swamp of Ten Thousand Poisons, an underground cave.

Wu Tian was immersed in an unprecedented state of cultivation. The newly formed, faint, flickering true blood of the Dutian Blazing Fire within his body, driven by the third level of the "True Explanation of the Dutian Blazing Fire," began to greedily absorb all nutrients, just as parched earth welcomed the first spring rain.

"breathe……"

His breathing became long and rhythmic, each inhale not just a simple flow of air.

Visibly, the swampy vapors that filled the cave, carrying a faint smell of decay and poison, were dispelled, replaced by wisps of crimson fire rising from the depths of the cave walls and from the scorching miasma rising from the swamp outside.

These fiery clouds are pure and scorching, transformed from the essence of fire that roams freely between heaven and earth.

Drawn by the combined pull of Wu Tian's true blood and cultivation technique, they converged from all directions like birds returning to their nests. Initially, they were just barely perceptible red specks, gradually connecting into thin lines, and finally forming a thin, slowly rotating crimson mist.

The light mist expanded and contracted with his breath, and with each contraction, a large amount of fire essence flowed down his throat and into his abdomen.

At the same time, the blood bead inside Lu Jiuchuan's abdomen, which contained his life's cultivation and blood essence, trembled even more violently.

It transformed into streams of warm yet powerful energy, flowing into the newly born true blood of the Heavenly Fiery Flame.

"Boom..."

Within Wu Tian's body, the faint sound of rushing rivers could be heard; it was the sound of his true blood rapidly growing and surging.

The blood vessels that were originally as thin as spider silk have now become thick and bright at an astonishing speed, like a newly opened river flowing with lava, spreading and connecting through his strong limbs, bones and internal organs.

The path of the third level of the "True Explanation of the Fiery Blaze of the Heavens" ran smoothly, almost without any hindrance, propelled by the surging true blood.

In less than half a day, the third level was completed perfectly as if by water flowing into a channel.

Ding! System notification: Your cultivation of the third level of "True Understanding of the Heavenly Blazing Fire" has been completed, and your True Blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire has been strengthened.

Wu Tian did not pause, his consciousness sinking into the fourth level of the method that he already knew by heart.

Reaching the fourth level of the True Understanding of the Heavenly Blazing Fire is equivalent to forging a cauldron for demons or humans.

From the time he started practicing this technique until now, it has been less than a day, yet he has broken through four levels and reached the stage of casting a cauldron.

Such a speed of cultivation is simply unbelievable.

At this moment, as the cultivation method changed, the flow of true blood in his body underwent subtle and complex changes. One acupoint after another in his body was opened, impacted, and lit up from scratch.

Ding! System notification: Your Heavenly Blazing Fire True Blood has awakened the innate spells Fire Control, Fire Devouring, and Blazing Fire Blade.

Wu Tian used his Thousand-Mile Eyes talent to examine his own body. He saw that as those acupoints were opened, fine incantations began to emerge from the True Blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire, and then intertwined to form three innate incantations.

As the fourth level of the cultivation technique was activated and the innate spell appeared, the crimson mist outside became even denser and its rotation speed increased slightly.

The efficiency of fire essence extraction increased significantly, and the temperature inside the cave began to rise steadily, with the rock walls becoming slightly hot from the heat.

Another day and night passed, and the speed of cultivation was astonishing.

The bloodline nutrients provided by Lu Jiuchuan's blood pearl are pure and abundant, perfectly matching the "True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire"; Wu Tian's own Huodou body is extremely strong, enough to withstand the burden brought about by the rapid increase in true blood.

Coupled with his profound understanding of the essence of cultivation techniques gained during his dual cultivation with Lu Nanxi, and the system's ability to turn the impossible into the possible...

A combination of factors led to his rapid progress.

By daybreak, Wu Tian had developed 36 new acupoints, bringing the total number of acupoints to 108, which were distributed throughout his body, in addition to the original 72.

Ding! System notification: Your fourth level of cultivation of "The True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire" has been completed, and your Heavenly Blazing Fire True Blood has been strengthened.

As Wu Tian's True Law Realm improved once again, the True Blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire within his body became quite considerable, forming a blazing and bright network within him.

The blood bead that Lu Jiuchuan was using was also consumed much faster, and its size was noticeably smaller.

The fiery glow inside the cave had thickened to the point of being like ripples on water, enveloping Wu Tian's entire body like a crimson cocoon pulsating with flames.

"I never imagined that cultivation could be so simple."

"The disciples of aristocratic families have it so easy. As long as their bloodline is pure enough, improving their strength is a piece of cake."

"I heard that in ancient times there were scions of noble families who were able to fight against immortals and demon saints from birth, which was terrifying beyond belief."

"The origins of those aristocratic families are extremely ancient; some are even descendants of innate gods and demons, or descendants of powerful Golden Immortals..."

Wu Tian suppressed his distracting thoughts, immersing himself in the profound mysteries of the cultivation technique and the growth of his true blood, forgetting the passage of time.

His muscles, bones, and internal organs were undergoing subtle yet unwavering changes under the cleansing and tempering of the true blood, slowly converging towards a form more suited to the "True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire." For the next few days, Wu Tian completely immersed himself in the cultivation of the "True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire."

After the fourth level was completed, only three days later, the fifth level of the Dharma was also completed.

The sixth level of the true method took seven days.

In a total of twelve days, he cultivated the True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire to the sixth level of perfection, and a total of 288 acupoints were opened in his body.

Including the original seventy-two acupoints, a total of three hundred and sixty acupoints are completely distributed throughout the body, weaving a fine and complex network for the circulation of the True Blood of the Heavenly Fiery Fire.

As the true blood grows stronger, the power of the three innate spells also increases accordingly.

"Buzz!"

Wu Tian's body trembled violently, and the red mist surrounding him suddenly contracted inward, disappearing completely into his body.

His body has 360 acupoints forming a large network, with the True Acupoint of the Heavenly Fiery Fire circulating, constantly scouring and widening the meridians, and continuously tempering his life essence.

Wu Tian felt as if a great sun was burning within his body, illuminating his entire form. An aura, different from that of the Huo Dou bloodline but equally ancient and majestic, permeated the air.

It kept poisonous insects and ferocious beasts at bay.

"If I can perfect the seventh level of cultivation, then the concentration of true blood in my body will be comparable to that of the direct descendants of the Lu family."

He carefully sensed the changes within his body. At present, the Lu family's true bloodline did not bring him a significant boost in strength, but Wu Tian, ​​through his Thousand-Mile Eye, discovered that his body seemed to be on the verge of transformation.

Once he cultivates the "True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire" to the seventh level of perfection, his body will likely undergo earth-shattering changes.

"Transfiguration?"

Wu Tian had a vague idea that with 360 acupoints, plus the true blood of the Lu family, and the seventh level of the Heavenly Blazing Fire True Understanding, he was very likely to transform into human form again.

Having previously broken through to become a Great Demon using the bloodline of the Huodou, his ancient ferocious beast bloodline naturally prevented him from transforming into human form.

Now, starting with the Lu family's legacy, it seems that it is about to take on a new form.

"With one burst of energy, I directly completed the seventh level of cultivation."

At this moment, the blood bead from Lu Jiuchuan inside his abdomen had shrunk to the size of a soybean, its color now resembling the purest ruby, crystal clear, with a restrained radiance.

This is the most fundamental essence.

"Hopefully, this will be enough for me to complete the seventh level of cultivation; otherwise, I'll have to spend even more time struggling through it..."

"I must say, Young Master Lu Jiuchuan is truly my lucky star."

"Not only did he force my sister to become my woman, but he also selflessly gave me all his cultivation and bloodline."

"My brother-in-law is such a good person!"

Wu Tian slowly closed his eyes and began to circulate the seventh level of the "True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire".

The seventh level is a threshold, corresponding to the great demons of the demon race and the cultivation methods of the human race. It is also a realm that only the vast majority of the direct descendants of the Lu family can cultivate to.

As the cultivation technique was activated, the 360 ​​acupoints in Wu Tian's body hummed, and his true blood circulated along a mysterious and complex path like a great river, producing a booming sound.

In an instant, his speed of absorbing and exhaling external fire essence increased several times over.

The cave walls were baked red and shiny, and even molten lava began to drip down. The poisonous miasma in the nearby swamp was evaporated by the scorching sunlight, turning into a mist that enveloped the mountains and forests.

Lu Jiuchuan's blood bead exploded with a loud bang, producing a sound like a great bell, and the blood essence, which was far more surging and turbulent than before, gushed out like a spring.

Wu Tian circulated his cultivation technique, causing his true blood to boil, absorbing and refining the essence of his bloodline, and tempering his physique and innate spells.

True blood surges and circulates endlessly, while time slowly flows by.

When the last trace of Lu Jiuchuan's blood essence was completely digested, the seventh level of the "True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire" perfectly closed with the network of acupoints in his body, and all the strange phenomena suddenly subsided.

"boom!"

The sound did not originate from the outside, but rather from a hum deep within the soul and bloodline, as if the soul was trembling and the bloodline was roaring.

Ding! System notification: Your seventh level of cultivation of "The True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire" has been completed, and your Heavenly Blazing Fire True Blood has been greatly strengthened.

Ding! System notification: Your Huodou bloodline conflicts with the Dutian Liehuo True Bloodline. Please select one bloodline to manifest externally.

(Note: Another bloodline will merge with the bloodline talent and be stored in the sea of ​​consciousness. The bloodline can be switched at any time with a thought.)
"The true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire will be manifested outwards."

Having reached a critical moment in his cultivation breakthrough, Wu Tian certainly couldn't choose the Huo Dou bloodline.

As his thoughts settled, his body underwent a sudden change.

"Om..."

Wu Tian's true blood suddenly boiled. It was no longer confined to the acupoints and meridians, but as if it had come to life, it permeated and merged into every inch of flesh, every bone, and every tiny corner of his body.

"Snap... Snap..."

The sickening sounds of bone remodeling rang out in rapid succession.

Wu Tian's enormous body began to shrink and deform at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The robust bones of the limbs are stretching and adjusting their proportions; the spine is crackling and bending into the curves that belong to humanity; the structure of the skull is also undergoing dramatic changes, the snout is retracting, and the cranial cavity is expanding...

The intense pain surged like a tidal wave, far more intense than any previous breakthrough.

But within this pain lies a strange, newfound pleasure, a feeling of breaking free from constraints.

Wu Tian's consciousness was perfectly clear, guiding his boiling true blood to precisely cleanse and shape every part of his body.

The cultivation technique circulated faster and faster, like a vortex forcibly drawing in the more distant and powerful fire essence and injecting it into Wu Tian's body.

The cave was no longer what it used to be. The walls had melted into molten lava that flowed slowly, and the ground was a sea of ​​fire. Wu Tian was suspended in mid-air by the fiery glow.

Wu Tian's body hair is disappearing, and his jade-like skin is smooth and agile, full of the combination of strength and beauty.

The claws on the limbs disappeared, the nails became round and neat, the knuckles were distinct, and the slender hands and feet that belong to humans gradually took shape.

The hair on his head was growing and spreading at an astonishing rate, each strand of hair like the purest flame, displaying a flowing, dazzling red light.

Her long, fine, and smooth hair hung straight down to her waist, scattering shimmering light.

"boom!"

The cocoon of light burst open, turning into countless points of light that dissipated.

Amidst the rising and falling flames, a figure slowly stood up. (End of Chapter)
