Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Wu Tian pondered silently, "Among the six great families of Southern Xinjiang, the bloodline of the Li family of the Toad Palace is not ancient, and their cultivation ceiling is too low."

The cultivation technique practiced by the Li family of the Swallowing Toad Palace is called the "Eight Directions Swallowing Abyss True Body Technique." When cultivated to its extreme, it can condense the Swallowing Abyss Dharma Image and achieve the status of a Loose Immortal.

Its bloodline is said to originate from a powerful mount called the Sky-Swallowing Toad. Because the powerful master used its bloodline to perform magic, this lineage was preserved.

His standards have become increasingly high. He knows that even Golden Immortals must traverse the realm of time. Without reaching the threshold of time, one is not qualified to pursue the path of the Golden Immortal. Therefore, he looks down on ordinary methods.

Of the 36,000 volumes of true teachings at Taiqing Temple, only the three volumes passed down from the sect leader's lineage can directly lead to the Golden Immortal Path.

But the lineage of aristocratic families is different; bloodline determines everything.

For Wu Tian, ​​as long as the family's heritage is ancient enough to span the ages, he can create something from nothing and use the system to cultivate it to the most perfect level, even tracing the bloodline back to its source.

Although the Lu family's Heavenly Blazing Fire True Bloodline has declined in recent years, and even at its peak, no one could cultivate it to become a great power, the source of this bloodline is the ancient demon god, Kuafu, who could truly capture stars and the moon and chase the sun.

Although he could only switch to one bloodline at a time, no matter how many bloodlines he possessed, for Wu Tian, ​​these were all foundations and accumulations. He could fully analyze the mysteries of bloodlines and cultivation techniques and integrate them into his own methods.

Truly powerful immortals and gods inevitably possess various forms, and this is especially true of those ancient Golden Immortals.

"More bloodline templates not only deepen one's foundation, but also allow for targeted adjustments based on the enemy's situation during battle. Furthermore, once one cultivates to become an immortal or god, one can even sever one's own bloodline and refine it into another form..."

"This is all accumulated by a Golden Immortal."

Wu Tian never focused his attention on the primordial spirit and Dao embryo. He had witnessed the power of the Golden Immortal, knew the vastness of the world, and had the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha, a powerful being with whom he had a karmic entanglement.

His primary goal in this life's cultivation is to become a Golden Immortal.

"The Path of the Demon Saint: Earthly Fiends, Heavenly Dippers, Ancient Stars. After elevating one's inner core to the level of an Ancient Star, one can continuously trace back to the source of time, making oneself increasingly ancient."

"The most powerful Great Sage can even rival a Golden Immortal!"

"In the cultivation of the Yuan Shen Dao, there are many ancient immortals and Buddhas, including Loose Immortals, True Immortals, and Divine Immortals. I have never even heard of anyone who could become a Golden Immortal."

"It seems that those powerful beings are extremely ancient beings, myths and legends that have left traces in the ancient times from the very beginning, and some of them were even innate gods and demons."

Wu Tian also had some guesses. It was very likely that there were also great beings who achieved their status in later generations, but by interfering with time, they made themselves older and older, and even changed the past, leaving their own traces in the past, thereby distorting all the cognition of people in the present world.

He pulled himself out of his thoughts. Apart from the Lu family and the Li family, he was not envious of the bloodline of the Zhu Rong clan among the six great families of the Southern Frontier.

The Fire Mage already possesses the Huo Dou bloodline and the Du Tian Lie Huo True Bloodline, which are more than sufficient, and their origins are ancient enough. There is no need to further dedicate energy to cultivating the Zhu Rong clan's bloodline inheritance.

In addition, there are the lineages of the Bai family, the Cao family, and the Five Poisons Miao Village.

Among them, the Five Poisons Miao Village is quite special. Their people are scattered throughout the Ten Thousand Mountains. The White Spring Village at the foot of Skull Mountain was actually one of the branches of the Miao Village, but it was very weak and no one cared about it.

Those truly powerful Miao people associate with demons and raise poisonous creatures such as snakes, spiders, centipedes, toads, and scorpions. The five most core clans possess the bloodlines of the Golden Snake, the Six-Winged Centipede, the Fire Toad, the Two-Tailed Scorpion, and the Jade Spider.

The origins of these bloodline cultivations are also extremely ancient, no less so than the Huodou bloodline.

However, he is currently lacking in energy, and the bloodline he can sustain has its limits. He must make careful choices in the future.

“Besides the Five Poisons Miao Village, the most suitable places are the Bai family and the Cao family of Tianshui.”

"The Bai family is descended from Feng Hou, while the Cao family is descended from Kui Mulang, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions in ancient times, and the lineage of Kui Muxingjun."

"Kui Mu Xingjun is also a great saint of the demon race, but he is extremely powerful. He is one of the top beings among the Twenty-Eight Mansions. It is said that he fought against powerful beings in ancient times, and his name was known throughout the ancient times. He dominated one side."

What he was most attracted to was the Feng Hou bloodline of the Bai family. In ancient times, Feng Hou was known as Taiyin Fengmu Yuanjun. She divided a portion of Taiyin's power and used Taiyin and Feng Xiang to evolve the twenty-four solar terms and dabble in time.

"But only women in the Bai family possess the bloodline of the Wind Mother. The Bai family is different from other aristocratic families. Women have always been in power. If their children are daughters, they possess the bloodline of the Wind Queen. If their children are sons, they are just ordinary mortals."

"Therefore, the Bai family of Fenghou has always had a tradition of taking in a son-in-law..."

Wu Tian was worried that if he cultivated Feng Hou's inheritance, he might end up with a female form... that would be incredibly embarrassing...

This isn't impossible. Switching to the Huodou bloodline would directly transform one into a Huodou, while switching to the Dutian Liehuo True Bloodline would directly turn one into a human. If one were to switch to the Feng Hou bloodline, one might actually be able to transform into a woman...

The scene was so beautiful that he could hardly imagine it.

Just the image flashing through his mind made him shudder, not to mention he was also worried about whether Feng Hou was still alive.

The main reason was that Silverfrost's sudden acquisition of the inheritance felt too coincidental...

"Let's wait and see. Recently, all the major families in the southern border region will be gathering, which is a rare opportunity for me as well."

Wu Tian's cultivation speed in the family's martial arts techniques is too fast. If he could kill the family disciples and seize their bloodline essence, his cultivation speed would be even faster.

This is extremely beneficial to him.

It can solidify one's foundation in a short time without delaying the speed of cultivation improvement.

As he was pondering, two beautiful maids in green dresses came to greet them. Both of them were quite attractive and possessed the cultivation level of the Refining Law Realm, which showed the depth of the Zhu Rong Clan's resources.

"Honored guest, please..."

Two maids led the way and showed them to their rooms.

As they were talking, another group of people arrived at a courtyard next door called Zhutaoju.

These people were all dressed in dark blue robes, and their auras were soft and subtle. They were the Li family of the Tunchan Palace in Tonghai County.

The Li family is not a prominent family, and its ancestors were far inferior to the Lu family. However, in recent years, the family has been thriving, with two members becoming Nascent Soul Realm experts.

The Lu family and the Li family have close spheres of influence, and they have been fighting fiercely for resources, eventually becoming irreconcilable enemies.

However, with only Ancestor Yu Yang supporting them, the Lu family inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position, suffered many losses, and their sphere of influence continued to shrink.

At this moment, the two middle-aged cultivators led by the Suanchan Li family also saw the group of Ancestor Yuyang from afar.

These two are Li Yunchao, the current head of the Li family, and another elder of the family who has reached the Dao Embryo realm.

"Brother Yuyang, how have you been? I never expected to be neighbors with the Lu family here at Kunming Pool. What a coincidence!"

“The Li family of Tonghai County.” Ancestor Yuyang had obviously seen them too, and his face became even more unpleasant. “What a small world.” Li Yunchao, the head of the Li family, had a half-smile on his face and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect from afar, saying, “I heard that the Zhu Rong clan has summoned us aristocratic families for a major operation this time, and I’m afraid the risks will be considerable.”

"Brother Yuyang, if something were to happen to you, wouldn't your Lu family be completely without its backbone?"

Suppressing his anger, Ancestor Yuyang said with a forced smile, "Then there's no need for your Li family to worry. However, if something happens to you on this trip, you'll probably have to give back all the benefits you've taken."

Li Yunchao laughed heartily, his voice booming: "My Swallowing Toad Palace is also guarded by Elder Yunshan, not to mention that my Six Sons have already formed Dao Embryos and have the hope of reaching the Primordial Spirit stage, so I can naturally travel with peace of mind."

"However, I did hear that Lu Family Mountain City suffered a disaster a few days ago? It is not easy for Fellow Daoist Yuyang to be able to come here."

Ancestor Yuyang's eyes twitched, he snorted coldly, said no more, turned and walked into the small building, slamming the door shut behind him.

Li Yunchao and his accompanying clansmen exchanged a smile, their eyes full of mockery. They ignored them and led their clansmen into their own courtyard.

Half an hour later, the group finally settled down under the guidance of the maid. Lu Nanxi stayed on the second floor, and Wu Tian was arranged in the room next to her so that he could be at her service at any time.

The entire third floor was occupied by Ancestor Yuyang.

The first floor is used for receiving guests and dining.

Now that he's under the watchful eye of Patriarch Yuyang, it's not as convenient as it was back in Lu Family Mountain City. Wu Tian can't just openly sneak into Lu Nanxi's room; if something goes wrong, it'll be troublesome.

Over the next two days, Kunming Pool became even more lively.

In addition to the Zhu Rong clan, Feng Xian Bai family, Wu Ling Lu family, and Tong Hai Li family, who have already arrived, people from the Five Poisons Miao Village are also arriving one after another.

Only the Cao family, as the aristocratic family that married Lady Zhurong, would arrive on the wedding day to welcome the newlyweds into their home.

These past two days, Patriarch Yuyang has rarely gone out, spending most of his time in the Qiyun Villa.

Lu Nanxi also kept to herself and rarely went out.

Wu Tian diligently played the role of the guard, while also making the most of his clairvoyance talent to investigate information within Kunming Pool.

With his keen insight, nothing could escape his notice.

Now that the wedding banquet is approaching, with so many people and so much chatter, he overheard everything, from the wedding arrangements and the generous gifts from each family to even some of the more romantic escapades.

Even the secret lurking and malicious intentions of the Li family, including the Toad-Swallowing Li family, did not escape his notice.

……

On the very day that the Biyan Yuzhu lineage of the Five Poisons Miao Village resisted Kunming Pool, the Yuyang Ancestor, who had not left his home for several days, hurriedly went out that very night.

The Jade Spider clan members stayed at the Jade Garden.

The garden has been filled with fresh water, forming a shallow, winding pond. Magnolias and bamboos are planted along the pond. When the evening breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle and a subtle fragrance floats in the air, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and rustic.

Old Ancestor Yuyang paused briefly outside the garden to tidy his clothes before a maid appeared, clearly having already received instructions.

"I have met the real person. Please come with me."

The maidservant gave a graceful bow and turned to lead the way.

Before long, they entered the pavilion inside the garden. On the top floor of the pavilion, in a quiet room with an elegant layout and a wide view, the leader of this trip from the Jade Spider lineage of the Five Poisons Miao Village, the Six-Fingered Fairy, was standing by the window.

She wore an exquisitely crafted, layered green gown, its hem cascading down like flowing water. The gown was embroidered with intricate and delicate patterns in mithril thread, and as she moved, it shone with an inner radiance, like ripples on a still pond at night.

Although she had cultivated for hundreds of years, she showed no signs of aging. Her skin was as smooth and lustrous as jade, and when she opened and closed her eyes, it seemed as if a bottomless blue pool was hidden in the depths of her pupils, giving her an almost eerie beauty.

This Nascent Soul True Person has cultivated to the second level of Nascent Soul, achieved extraordinary phenomena, and is far stronger than Old Ancestor Yu Yang. Moreover, he has many magical treasures with him, making him extremely difficult to deal with.

In her early years, she practiced poisonous Gu, even severing four of her own fingers and using her heart's blood to refine them. After hundreds of years of refining Gu, the poison penetrated deep into her soul, and even after becoming a Nascent Soul True Person, she could not restore her severed fingers.

Therefore, she was known as the Six-Fingered Fairy.

As the Jade Sun Ancestor stepped into the quiet room and saw the Six-Fingered Fairy, he immediately cupped his hands in greeting, adopting a very humble posture: "I apologize for disturbing the Fairy's peace and quiet so late at night."

The Six-Fingered Fairy slowly turned around, her emerald eyes falling on Ancestor Yuyang. Her voice carried a soft, sticky charm, like spider silk that seemed to entwine one, "Brother Yuyang, there's no need for such formalities. Have you brought the things?"

Ancestor Yuyang dared not be negligent and quickly took out a jade box that had been prepared in advance from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "This is the box of Fiery Golden Pattern Jade Incense that we agreed on before. Please examine it, Fairy Maiden."

This Fiery Golden Jade Fragrance is extremely rare. It is a treasure that only cultivators of the Dao Embryo level or above in the Lu family can refine. In particular, the True Blood of the Heavenly Fiery Flame is quite effective against poisonous insects, and it is very useful for the Miao people to refine poisonous insects.

It was through this item that he was able to connect with the Six-Fingered Fairy.

With a light tap of her jade finger, the Six-Fingered Fairy sent the jade box flying to her. The lid opened, revealing a faint, radiant light and an overwhelming spiritual energy within.

She scanned it with her divine sense and nodded slightly: "Not bad."

Immediately, she flipped her wrist, and a soft, almost invisible white light appeared in her palm. Upon closer inspection, it was a thin, translucent rope, slightly thicker than her little finger, seemingly formed from moonlight.
It is the Immortal Binding Rope, a magical artifact of the Jade Spider lineage. It was made by generations of masters in the Miao village by collecting moonlight, mixing it with the silk of the thousand-year-old Jade Spider and various rare and precious materials. It is specifically designed to restrain the magical power and primordial spirit of cultivators. Once bound, it is difficult to break free.

"I can lend you this rope, but you do not have the methods and supernatural powers of my lineage, so it will be difficult for you to activate it."

As the Six-Fingered Fairy spoke, she brought her index and middle fingers together on her other hand, and a point of extremely concentrated green light suddenly shone from the tip of her finger. Within that green light, countless tiny spider shadows seemed to flow.

Using her finger as a brush, she drew in the air, and streaks of emerald light quickly formed, carrying mysterious and obscure fluctuations. Finally, they condensed into a palm-sized, thin as a cicada's wing emerald talisman, which she gently imprinted on the piece of the Immortal Binding Rope.

"I have left a talisman on this Immortal Binding Rope." The Six-Fingered Fairy handed the Immortal Binding Rope to Ancestor Yuyang, while her lips moved slightly, reciting a short but difficult-to-pronounce incantation to impart the secret technique to him.

"Hold this rope, silently recite the incantation I have passed on to you, and channel your own magical power into the talisman. This will activate the rope once and bind the target."

"Remember, you only have one chance."

“Once the power of the talisman is exhausted, this rope can no longer be used, and I can sense the fluctuations when the seal dissipates.”

"You must return it immediately upon receipt of the due date, without fail."

Ancestor Yuyang was overjoyed and quickly took the Immortal Binding Rope. He felt its cool, supple texture and quickly memorized the incantation. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Immortal Maiden! Yuyang understands and will certainly not dare to make a mistake!" (End of Chapter)
