Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The fiery glow dissipated, revealing a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

He was completely naked, with skin as smooth as jade, well-proportioned and flowing muscle lines, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, straight and long legs, and a posture as upright as a pine tree.

His dark pupils held a depth and vicissitude beyond his years, as well as a faint sense of majesty and nobility stemming from his ancient bloodline.

This ancient aura, the vicissitudes in his eyes and brows, and his impeccably handsome features combine to create a striking and unforgettable presence.

Wu Tian looked down at his hands, his slender fingers clenched lightly, and he could feel the surging true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire within his body, as well as the immense power of this brand-new physical body.

He was somewhat dazed and overwhelmed with emotion, "I really took human form?!"

With a thought, he opened the system panel.

Name: Wu Tian

Age: 23
Realm: Refining Techniques/Great Demon
Bloodline: Dutian Blazing Fire True Bloodline / Huodou Bloodline (switchable)
Supernatural Seed: Sun and Moon Heavenly Wheel, Rank 5, 3%
Advanced Talents: 12% Clairvoyance, 9% Sun and Moon Heavenly Blade, 1% Heavenly Body, 82% Body of Calamity (Unavailable)

Skills: Celestial Dog Fighting Technique, Level 7; Heavenly Blazing Fire True Explanation, Level 7
(Note: The current manifestation of the true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire is unavailable for the body and bloodline of the Huodou.)

The Dutian Body, an advanced talent, is forged from the pure Dutian Blazing Fire True Blood. It has awakened the spells Flame Banner, Crimson Emperor Blade, and Burning Heaven Seal. The higher the bloodline concentration, the more spells can be awakened, and the stronger their power.

“Except for the body of the calamity, all other supernatural seeds and talents can be used normally.”

Wu Tian carefully studied the system panel and discovered that the spells and talents brought by the bloodline were bound to the bloodline. Once the bloodline was switched, the corresponding talents and bloodline could no longer be used.

He now possesses the true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire, so he can no longer use the Huodou bloodline and Huodou body.

If one switches to the Huodou bloodline, then the Dutian Blazing Fire True Blood and the Dutian Dharma Body will also become unusable.

"Isn't this just like switching character templates?"

Wu Tian was studying the changes in his body when suddenly a thought struck him. He looked up, flames burning in his pupils. "There really are some ignorant fools who dare to come looking for trouble with me."

He had just broken through his cultivation technique and transformed into human form, causing quite a stir, which naturally attracted many demons and monsters in the nearby swamp to become restless.

Within the range of the clairvoyant's vision, several venomous pythons, as thick as water buckets, covered in purplish-black scales, and each with a single horn on its head, emerged from the stagnant mud pool, their ferocious heads staring intently at the crimson-tinged cave.

For these cold and poisonous creatures, the pure and blazing fire essence can dispel the poison within their bodies and greatly benefit their cultivation. At this moment, they instinctively want to approach and devour the creatures in the cave.

Besides these venomous pythons, a writhing monster, pieced together from countless pale bones and rotting flesh, slowly rose up, emitting a nauseating stench of decay and resentment.

This is a corpse puppet formed from the accumulated remains and malevolent energy of the swamp over the years, an existence that most demons and monsters are unwilling to approach.

Further away, a massive demon with a crocodile head and a human body was rapidly approaching. It had a wide mouth and sharp teeth, dim yellow eyes, and a rough, hard leather armor on its head. In its hand, it held a heavy bone fork made from the bones of an unknown beast, the tip of which gleamed with a ghostly blue poisonous light. Its aura was cold and violent.

These demons had nowhere to hide under Wu Tian's all-seeing eyes.

"I just broke through to a higher level of cultivation and was worried about not having a place to test the power of the Heavenly Body, and you delivered yourself to my doorstep."

Wu Tian stepped out of the cave, his bare feet landing on the wet swamp ground, yet they were spotless. A scorching heat emanated naturally from his tall and upright body, dispelling the surrounding cold and damp air.

The venomous pythons that had reached a short distance from the cave entrance could no longer contain themselves. The aura emanating from the human before them was like that of a newborn child, its pure and sweet fragrance incredibly alluring.

They hissed and made strange noises, their purplish-black scales rubbing together, carrying a strong, fishy smell. Like several twisted lightning bolts, they came biting from different directions, and the venom they spewed from their mouths was so foul-smelling that it corroded the air with a hissing sound.

"Noisy."

Wu Tian didn't even move his feet; he merely stirred his mind, causing the True Blood of the Heavenly Fiery Flame to surge within his body.

The advanced talent, the Heavenly Body, forged from true blood, was activated, and a thin layer of light and flame instantly rose around his body.

Facing the first venomous python that pounced on him, he threw a simple punch, without any fancy techniques, only an overwhelming physical strength, which surged forward with the raging flames of the heavens.

The fists and palms collided with the ferocious snake head covered in scales.

"puff!"

With a loud, explosive crash, Wu Tian's fist and palm struck the venomous python's hard head and half of its body with a single punch, like a meteor falling to earth.

Intense flames surged wildly through the wound, igniting the massive demonic body from the inside, instantly reducing it to a charred, mangled corpse that fell to the ground.

At the same time, the venom and bites of several other venomous pythons also landed on him. Wu Tian swayed, and a banner made entirely of interwoven flames appeared from behind him, scattering firelight like ribbons, firmly protecting his body.

It's sizzling!It's sizzling!
The venom sprayed onto the Flame Banner, making a sizzling sound, and was burned into poisonous smoke in the blink of an eye, slowly dissipating into the air.

Other objects suddenly collided with the Flame Banner, causing the banner, formed from converging flames, to shake violently, yet it did not disintegrate.

"not bad!"

Wu Tian tested the defensive power of the Flaming Banner, then his figure blurred, and he appeared to the side of another venomous python. His long, powerful fingers were joined together like knives, burning with raging true fire, and he delivered a horizontal slash.

The spell awakened from the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor: the Crimson Emperor Blade!

As he moved, a transparent crimson blade of light slashed out from his palm.

With a flash of the blade, the venomous python's resilient body was cleanly severed, the cut charred and smooth, and flames instantly engulfed the two severed parts.

puff!puff!puff!

Wu Tian showed no mercy. His Crimson Emperor Blade moved with lightning speed and blazing fire. In the blink of an eye, several ferocious venomous pythons were all killed, unable to even slightly hinder Wu Tian's progress.

At this moment, the writhing corpse puppet emitted a silent shriek, and the dense corpse evil resentment formed a gray-black wave, which withered the grass and trees and stained the ground with a disgusting greasy black layer.

These monsters are adept at eroding the spiritual light of magical artifacts and corrupting their magical power.

Wu Tian stepped forward and took the initiative to meet them, the blazing banner behind him leaving a rainbow-like trail of light in the forest.

He formed an ancient and majestic hand seal in front of his chest, and flames blazed around him, with a seal faintly appearing in his palm, enveloped in flames.

One of the spells awakened by the true blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire: the Heaven-Burning Seal!

He thrust out with a single palm strike.

Without any grand display, the extremely refined fire seal flew out of his hand. At first, it was only the size of a palm, but it grew as it was carried by the wind, instantly becoming the size of a house. There seemed to be incantations appearing and disappearing at the bottom of the seal.

The fire seal crashed straight into the corpse's resentment.

"Swoosh! Boom!"

Like boiling water poured on snow, the filthy corpse energy was powerless against the extremely yang and intense Dutian Fire, and was instantly purified and evaporated.

The fire imprint continued its relentless advance, firmly sealing itself onto the constantly writhing mass of flesh and bone.

In an instant, a deafening roar erupted.

Flames shot into the sky, completely engulfing the corpse puppet.

A chilling, piercing scream emanated from the flames, but it quickly faded away.

A few breaths later, the flames dissipated, leaving only a huge, charred crater. The bottom of the crater was glassy, ​​and the repulsive corpse puppet had been burned to a pile of charred ashes. "The physical strength of the Heavenly Body is comparable to that of a great demon; the Crimson Emperor's Slash is swift and sharp; the Heaven-Burning Seal is powerful and heavy, extremely violent; the Blazing Flame Banner is both offensive and defensive..."

"These disciples of aristocratic families are truly living a comfortable life. They only need to cultivate the True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire to awaken various spells from their bloodline. Moreover, they are both offensive and defensive, forming a complete system. It is truly enviable."

"But at least I'm finally able to eat something good, haha!"

Just as Wu Tian unleashed a series of powerful attacks, slaying several demons, the crocodile-headed demon that had been rushing towards them from afar also arrived nearby. Sensing the fiery aura and bloodlust in the forest, it realized that the human before it was not someone to be trifled with.

But the pure and powerful blood energy emanating from the other party, as pure as that of an infant, made its greed overwhelm its caution.

"Roar!"

The crocodile-headed demon roared, its dim yellow eyes filled with bloodshot veins. Its massive body crushed the mud, and it brandished its dark blue bone fork, transforming into a gust of bloody wind that rushed straight towards Wu Tian.

Its body was enveloped in a swirling demonic aura, forming a thick, dark green armor. Its bone forks protruded, accompanied by mournful wails, clearly indicating that it was coated with deadly poison and had devoured countless lives.

"Finally, someone who looks somewhat decent has arrived."

Wu Tian neither dodged nor avoided, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

He had just cultivated the Heavenly Body and transformed into human form, and needed a thrilling battle to familiarize himself with this powerful body.

He stepped forward to meet them, the flaming flag fluttering in the wind, protecting himself.

With a punch, a fiery seal appeared in his palm, carrying the Daoist aura of suppressing everything and burning away the eight wastelands, and slammed into the bone fork that was thrusting towards him.

"clang!!"

A deafening roar, like the clash of metal, exploded out, and the shockwave spread out in a ring, blowing away and drying up all the swampy mud and water within a radius of tens of feet.

The crocodile-headed demon felt an intensely hot and heavy force emanating from the bone fork, which made its arms go numb, and the eerie blue poisonous light at the tip of the bone fork flickered uncertainly due to the flames.

It was horrified; the human opposite it actually possessed a physical strength that could collide with its demonic body, which had been cultivated for over a hundred years.

Wu Tian, ​​having gained the upper hand, pressed his advantage relentlessly, launching a fierce close-quarters attack using the powerful physique bestowed upon him by the Dutian Body.

His combat experience was too rich; his fists, palms, elbows, and knees—his entire body was transformed into weapons, and every strike was wreathed in raging flames.

As his fists and palms swung, he would occasionally strike with the Heaven-Burning Seal or slash with the Crimson Emperor Blade, his movements swift and unpredictable.

Despite possessing sharp teeth, a bone fork, brute strength, and poison skills, the crocodile-headed demon was completely suppressed.

Its demonic armor melted away under the scorching flames, and the poisonous energy on the bone fork couldn't get close to Wu Tian. On the other hand, its scales were cracked by the force of the punch, its skin was torn open, and it smelled of burning flesh.

"Damn it!"

The crocodile-headed demon was filled with shock and rage. It suddenly opened its blood-red maw and shot out a dark green, turbid poisonous bead containing most of its magical power, aiming straight for Wu Tian's face.

Wu Tian remained calm. His extraordinary ability to see far and wide allowed him to maintain control of the battle from beginning to end, and no move by the enemy could escape his notice.

"Qiang!"

A clear, resonant blade rang out across the swamp, the light in the void slightly distorted, and an invisible blade of light swept past at an incredibly terrifying speed.

puff!

The terrifyingly powerful poisonous bead was cleaved in two almost instantly by its unparalleled sharpness, and the potent poison and demonic power it contained were directly detonated.

The invisible blade of light remained completely undamaged, flashing past in the astonished eyes of the crocodile-headed demon.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

The crocodile-headed demon's massive body, which was charging forward, suddenly froze. A thin crack appeared on its head and spread straight down to its lower abdomen.

Wow!

The enormous demonic body was neatly split in two, falling to either side. The cut was smooth as a mirror and instantly carbonized, without a drop of blood flowing out, only the smell of burnt flesh.

Its sturdy bone fork was also broken in two, losing all its brilliance.

"They still used the Sun and Moon Heavenly Blade!"

The flames burning on Wu Tian's body slowly subsided, and he stood naked on the scorched earth, his breath long and deep. The devastating battle just now had not exhausted him too much.

"The seventh level of the Heavenly Body is only equivalent to a cultivator who has just entered the Refining Realm. Although the three major spells form their own system, their power is not considered strong. It is difficult to kill those old monsters and cultivators with profound foundations in the Refining Realm in a short period of time."

"However, with the aid of the Thousand-Mile Eye, it is entirely possible to fight head-on with the vast majority of cultivators who practice magic."

"But if we want to win decisively, we still need to rely on the Sun and Moon Heavenly Blade... or cultivate the True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire to a higher level."

The three spells inherent in the Dutian Body are only a part of the advanced talent of the Dutian Body, while the Sun and Moon Heavenly Blade and the Thousand-Mile Eye are advanced talents, and there is a big difference between the two.

"Now that Lu Jiuchuan's blood bead is gone, and moreover, the True Technique of the Heavenly Blazing Fire has been cultivated to the seventh level, the subsequent cultivation will not be as fast."

"It's time to return to Lujia Mountain City and see what the situation is like there."

"With my current physical appearance and pure bloodline, it shouldn't be difficult for me to infiltrate the mountain city."

Wu Tian had a slight smile on his face. The benefits he had gained from practicing the "True Explanation of the Heavenly Blazing Fire" were completely beyond his expectations.

Even without the Blood Bead, the cultivation of the eighth and ninth levels of the True Understanding of the Heavenly Blazing Fire will still be much faster than the improvement speed of the Huodou bloodline and other talents.

"If I could kill a Lu family cultivator at the Dao Embryo Realm, I should be able to quickly cultivate to the ninth level, and condensing a magic pearl wouldn't be out of the question."

"The path of cultivation through aristocratic families is still simpler and more direct..."

He looked at his long-unused human body with considerable enjoyment. "Not bad at all!"

After calming himself down, he walked to the corpse of the crocodile-headed demon and looked at its thick, tough crocodile skin, which, although split open, was still intact.

"That saves me the trouble of looking for clothes."

Wu Tian used his fingers like knives, tempering them with intense fire, to easily peel off the largest and most intact piece of leather armor from the back.

Using magic, he casually drew nearby clean water to rinse the hide, then carefully roasted it with the raging fire of the heavens to remove the odor and fishy smell, and to make the hide soft and tough.

A moment later, a leather armor that emitted a faint warmth, had a dark bluish-black color, and was covered with natural scales was completed.

Wu Tian simply cut it up and tied it around his waist to cover his lower body. His upper body remained naked, and his smooth muscle lines and jade-like skin were still conspicuous in the dim light of the swamp.

"I should go see Nanxi. I wonder if she'll be terrified if she sees me like this?"

"Ha ha!"

Wu Tian didn't linger. Ascertaining his direction, he took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the depths of the swamp like a streak of fire. (End of Chapter)
