Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Wu Tian groaned, one knee almost touching the ground, his face pale, his breathing rapid, and he immediately showed pain and horror.

"Your life, your cultivation level, and even your very existence as Lu Ding are all in my hands, do you understand?"

The voice of the Jade Sun Ancestor returned to its previous calmness, but the threat hanging over his head was more suffocating than any roar.

The atmosphere inside the hall was as still as iron; even the sweet fragrance now carried a bloody, oppressive feel.

Despite the discomfort caused by the oppressive aura and the chilling killing intent within him, Wu Tian forced himself to show fear and submission.

He struggled to catch his breath, raised his head, his face was bloodless, his eyes were filled with fear, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice was dry and hoarse: "Ancestor...disciple...disciple understands."

"This disciple would never dare to have the slightest disloyalty, and will obey the Ancestor's orders from now on."

His posture was so humble that he seemed to be buried in the dust, and every word he uttered was filled with trembling.

Seeing Wu Tian's overwhelmed and terrified appearance, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Jade Sun Ancestor.

I felt that he was a collateral descendant from the countryside, with a fragile and easily defeated nature, but he was a good dog.

He slowly withdrew his fierce aura, as if the life-or-death threat he had just felt was merely an illusion, and the seemingly easygoing yet distant smile reappeared on his face.

"Very good." Ancestor Yuyang leaned back in his chair with satisfaction, waving his hand as if brushing away insignificant dust. "He is a sensible person. Since he understands his place, I will naturally not mistreat those who serve him."

He then changed the subject, his tone becoming slightly gentler, "Being my eyes and ears will naturally bring you many benefits."

"Your blood is pure and refined. With my guidance, you may be able to reach even greater heights. Make the most of this opportunity."

"It's better than being a bodyguard by Nanxi's side, who might just disappear without a trace one day..."

After threatening him, he waved his hand, and a servant boy who had been standing by his side was ready. He stepped forward with a jade plate on it, which contained not only three small jade bottles, but also a black jade talisman with special patterns.

The pressure on Wu Tian eased, as if he had just escaped death. His face was still showing signs of shock, but when he saw the things on the jade plate, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a light that was a mixture of fear, greed, and excitement.

He bowed again, almost using both hands and feet, and accepted the jade plate with both hands. His voice trembled as if he had just survived a disaster, and there was a hint of obsequious eagerness in it: "Thank you so much for the reward, Ancestor!"

"I will never forget your kindness, Ancestor. I will do everything in my power to serve you to the death! I will report any movement from Miss Nanxi to you immediately."

His appearance—first terrified out of his wits, then spurred on by the reward, his eyes gleaming with greed and eagerness to show his loyalty—clearly pleased Ancestor Yuyang.

Old Ancestor Yuyang laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said to the red-veiled beauty in his arms, "Look, this is a smart person."

"Go, and remember what I said today. If you find anything, you can report it here directly with this talisman. If it is not important, continue to do your duty as usual, and do not arouse Nanxi's suspicion."

After giving him one last instruction, the Old Ancestor Yuyang stopped looking at him and instead lowered his head to flirt with the beautiful woman in the red veil in his arms.

Wu Tian politely withdrew from the solemn Dharma Hall, and only after leaving the area shrouded in oppressive aura did his expression gradually return to calm.

"It seems that there is no flaw after the bloodline switch. This old dog did not notice anything at all."

He was somewhat worried about being summoned by Ancestor Yuyang this time. If the old man discovered the Huodou bloodline in his body, it would probably cause him a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

……

That night, in the three-story Jade Tower, inside the sleeping quarters.

The air was filled with the lingering heat and the mingled atmosphere.

The quilt was disheveled, and Lu Nanxi's cascading black hair clung to her smooth back and the pillow, damp with sweat. She was only wearing a crumpled, lotus-root-colored silk undergarment, the thin straps of which had slipped off her shoulders, revealing large expanses of skin with a pale pink sheen.

The silk dress was as thin as a cicada's wing, slightly damp with sweat, clinging tightly to the body, clearly outlining the full curve of the chest, the breathtakingly deep indentation at the waist, and connecting to the rounded contours of the hips.

She lay languidly on her side, her curves undulating like mountains, gleaming with a pearly luster under the soft light of a single luminous pearl, exuding a languid and alluring charm.

Wu Tian leaned against the headboard, his upper body naked. His firm chest rose and fell slightly with his breathing. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his muscles were smooth yet relaxed after a burst of energy. There was also a thin layer of sweat on his skin.

He wrapped one arm around Lu Nanxi, letting her snuggle against his side.

After a brief silence, Wu Tian spoke in a low voice, recounting in detail how Ancestor Yu Yang had summoned him and used coercion and enticement during the day.

Lu Nanxi listened quietly. At first, her body was slightly tense, and her fingertips unconsciously traced patterns on his arm. But as she listened, she gradually relaxed, and her still watery eyes became even clearer in the dim light.

After Wu Tian finished speaking, she remained silent for a moment, then a cold smile curved her lips: "This might not be such a bad thing. You just need to pass on the message and gain his trust. Then he can take you to the wedding banquet. There shouldn't be too many obstacles..."

She turned around, facing Wu Tian directly. The neckline of her light purple dress opened wider because of this movement, but she didn't care. She simply reached out and touched his cheek, her fingertips slightly cool.

Wu Tian grasped her hand that was touching his face and nodded: "I understand, it's just a pretense, don't worry!"

"I'm sorry you had to go through all that trouble, dealing with him like this." Lu Nanxi buried her face in his neck, inhaling his comforting breath.

"It's alright." Wu Tian hugged her tighter, his other hand stroking her sweaty back, feeling the coolness and shiver of her smooth skin under her silk dress. "Now that you're a personal guard, staying in this Jade Tower is much more convenient."

Lu Nanxi gently hummed in his arms.

The following day, Wu Tian officially took up residence at Yulou as a personal bodyguard.

During the day, he guarded her side, his expression cold and his demeanor meticulous; as night fell, the building was quiet, but he was the only one who could reach her most private and warm place.

……

Time passes day by day.

Dual cultivation, spiritual practice, handling affairs in the mountain city... life was simple yet fulfilling.

Lu Nanxi's cultivation level steadily improved, her understanding of the principles of fire magic deepened day by day, and the magic pearl in her sea of ​​consciousness became increasingly brilliant.

In just over two months, Wu Tian cultivated the eighth level to a near-perfect state.

That night, after their dual cultivation, Lu Nanxi, dressed in a moon-white nightgown, lay on her side on the couch, her robe slightly open, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

She had no cultivation and looked at the man before her.

At this moment, Wu Tian had reached a critical juncture for his breakthrough.

All 360 acupoints in his body trembled simultaneously, and his true blood surged like molten iron, roaring within his body. The sound was confined beneath his skin, muffled like rolling thunder, and could only be heard when one was very close.

His pores opened wide, exhaling fiery essence, and crimson light lingered within a foot of the bed, enveloping his figure in a hazy yet scorching flame.

Beneath the skin, fine, ant-like golden runes moved and lit up on their own, and the True Blood of the Heavenly Blazing Fire began to transform and sublimate.

Deep within the crimson, scorching blood marrow, specks of golden light, like sparks, spurted forth as the true blood flowed to the limbs and bones. Wherever the golden light passed, the delicate meridians were forcibly stretched, smoothed, and strengthened, sending waves of soreness and tingling sensations through them; deep within the bones, a fine, clear sound, like raindrops pattering on a jade plate, rang out, as the bone tissue was repeatedly tempered by the intensely hot true blood, expelling impurities.

His physical strength was surging, and his magical power was burning, turning into golden flames.

With almost every breath, the power rose like a tide, seemingly endless.

The golden light in the true blood became increasingly dazzling, eventually converging into a solid, blazing golden thread within the great dragon of the spine. Like a stream of molten gold, it climbed upwards along the vertebrae, one by one, pointing straight to the jade pillow at the back of the head.

A strong feeling of swelling and burning came from that point, a sign that the blood bead was about to condense.

Wu Tian held his breath and focused his inner vision, guiding the violent yet pure power to circulate within his body.

He could clearly feel that something ancient deep within his blood was fully awakening and perfectly merging with this young body.

Time slips away quietly in the process of transformation.

As the morning light once again streamed through the window lattice into the tranquil inner chamber of the jade pavilion, it illuminated the young man on the couch.

Wu Tian remained seated cross-legged. The crimson glow surrounding him had gradually dissipated, leaving only a layer of warm light flowing over his skin, as if there were lights inside him illuminating his flesh and blood.

His skin was firm and smooth, and beneath his well-proportioned limbs lay a terrifying resilience and explosive power.

Her red hair was even more vibrant than usual, moving without wind, with sparks seemingly flowing from the ends.

The thin silk robe he wore was already soaked with sweat and impurities from the surge of his vital energy, clinging tightly to his body and clearly outlining every slightly raised muscle and smooth bone line, radiating steaming heat and vibrant life force.

Ding! System notification: Your "True Understanding of the Blazing Fire of the Capital" has reached the eighth level of perfection. Your magical power has transformed into the Golden Flame of the Capital, the purity of your bloodline has greatly increased, and the progress of your Capital Body has greatly improved. Please check the details yourself.

Wu Tian slowly opened his eyes, golden flames burning in his pupils.

He gently squeezed the slender, long hand, and could clearly feel that the Dutian Body had undergone an extremely terrifying transformation and improvement, with its strength, speed, and reaction all increasing several times over.

The user possesses the Dutian Body, an advanced talent, and is at 66% progress. They have already awakened spells such as the Blazing Flame Banner, the Crimson Emperor Blade, the Burning Heaven Seal, and the Crimson Dragon Stake.

Without a doubt, with the completion of the eighth level of cultivation, his bloodline underwent another transformation and growth, and the power of the Dutian Dharma Body and the magical power contained within it also increased accordingly.

In particular, this time he has awakened another spell, Crimson Dragon Stake.

It should be noted that after members of the Lu family cultivate the "True Explanation of the Blazing Fire of the Heavens" to the seventh level, they can obtain the Heavenly Body. However, the specific spells they can awaken, both in terms of quantity and type, are random.

Everyone is different.

People like Wu Tian, ​​who awakened four spells at the eighth level, are extremely rare in the entire Lu family.

The system's exploration and shaping of bloodlines is undoubtedly extremely perfect.

Wu Tian focused his attention on the newly awakened spell, Crimson Dragon Stake.

The Crimson Dragon Stake, activated by the true blood of the Heavenly Fiery Blaze, allows the user to transform into flames and travel hundreds of miles in an instant. It is an unparalleled method for preserving life and protecting the body.

Although the name sounds grand, it is actually just a kind of escape technique.

"The eighth level has been completed..."

On a whim, 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 Seeds: Sun and Moon Celestial Wheel, Rank 5 (30%); Mars Destiny, Rank 12 (1%)

Advanced Talents: Thousand-Mile Vision 88%, Sun and Moon Heavenly Blade 83%, Heavenly Body 66%
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 Fire is not available for those with the Fire Star destiny or the Fire Star bloodline.)

Wu Tian felt the surging power within him, but he felt no sense of pride, only an indescribable sense of urgency.

Now, more than two months have passed, and in just a few days we will be going to Kunming Pool with Ancestor Yuyang to attend the wedding banquet of the Zhu Rong clan.

Although his current strength allows him to run rampant among cultivators and great demons, let alone the terrifying formation that surrounded and killed Bai Qian, even the Jade Sun Ancestor, who was eyeing Lu Nanxi, was beyond the capabilities of the Heavenly Body.

During this period, he dared not slack off in the slightest. He cultivated with Lu Nanxi every night and also seized every opportunity to practice hard during the day.

Besides the True Understanding of the Heavenly Blazing Fire, the Seed of the Sun and Moon Heavenly Wheel Divine Power and other advanced talents have also made great progress. However, it will still take some time for the two advanced talents, Thousand-Mile Eye and Sun and Moon Heavenly Blade, to reach perfection.

However, although the Yinghuo Destiny and Huodou Bloodline cannot be used lightly, if used recklessly, they are more than enough to fight against a Yuan Shen True Person.

It is also his biggest trump card now.

Although it might attract the pursuit of the Golden-Winged Roc, at this critical moment of life and death, they couldn't care less about that.

not to mention……

"This time, those who besieged Bai Qian were at least Loose Immortals and Nascent Soul True Persons. Although I can't get involved, if we can lure the Golden-Winged Roc here, we might be able to divert the trouble."

Wu Tian has been thinking about how to help Bai Qian resolve the calamity. Bai Yaochen will definitely help Bai Qian, but Bai Yaochen alone is not enough.

If they could use the Mars Destiny to lure the Golden-Winged Roc and completely disrupt the situation, Bai Qian should be able to catch her breath.

Once one can break through to the Demon Saint level, it's uncertain who will be the next prey...

……

A few days later, Lu Nanxi was handling affairs in the Jade Pavilion when a maid came to report: "Miss, the Ancestor has sent word that we will depart for Kunming Pool tomorrow. Please make preparations."

Lu Nanxi paused, the ink spreading out on the paper.

She looked up and gazed out the window.

What's meant to happen will happen eventually.

She waved her hand, dismissing the maid.

"I've already made the arrangements. You'll be leaving with me tomorrow."

Without turning her head, Lu Nanxi spoke to Wu Tian, ​​who was standing to the side.

"Yes, Second Miss." Wu Tian, ​​clad in iron armor, placed his left hand on the hilt of his sword, looking at Lu Nanxi's slender back with a heavy heart.

His Huo Dou bloodline is now pure. Although it is not as good as the real ancient ferocious beast Huo Dou, relying on the twelve-grade divine power seed Yinghuo destiny, he can fight against a Yuan Shen True Person.

No matter what schemes Ancestor Yuyang might have, when the crucial moment arrives, he will spare no effort to transform into Huodou and tear this old bastard apart alive. (End of Chapter)
