Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 24 Turning danger into good fortune
Unbeknownst to Wu Tian, ​​just as he was using his innate ability to sense the area halfway up the mountain, he disturbed a certain being who was cultivating in seclusion there.

Zhu Yeshuang was originally a Yuan Shen Zhenren (Primordial Spirit True Person). He suppressed the fire aperture in Skull Mountain for sixty years. In recent years, he gradually subdued his fire nature, calmed his Dao heart, and merged with heaven and earth, falling into an extremely mysterious state.

By uniting one's primordial spirit with the universe, one can comprehend the profound principles governing the operation of all things.

This was originally something only a rogue immortal who had cultivated to the Dharma form could do. Zhu Yeshuang had cultivated diligently for sixty years and entered this wondrous realm by chance, which also shows that she was not far from the realm of a rogue immortal.

Her primordial spirit merged with heaven and earth, and when Wu Tian used his innate perception, he immediately noticed something amiss.

The talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is originally difficult for beings below the level of Loose Immortals to detect. Only by achieving the Dharma Form and using the power of imitating the heavens and the earth to harmonize with the universe can one respond to any touch and know good fortune and misfortune.

However, at this moment, Zhu Yeshuang's primordial spirit merged with heaven and earth, and under the pull of the qi, she discovered Wu Tian's existence.

"So it was this white dog." Zhu Yeshuang's primordial spirit merged with heaven and earth, and in an instant, she saw Wu Tian's entire body, inside and out, clearly. "Interesting, this little guy actually has such talent. Could it be that I misjudged him before?"

She became interested, and with a thought, the power of heaven and earth naturally gathered, and Wu Tian disappeared from the spot.

Wu Tian was nearly scared to death. When he came to his senses, he realized that he was no longer on the top of Skull Mountain, but near a hot spring.

He was flustered, but his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune made him realize that there was a great opportunity in this place.

"here it is?!"

Just as he was puzzled, a clear voice entered his mind, as if it were ringing directly in his heart.

"Little guy, did you just awaken a new talent?"

Upon hearing the voice, Wu Tian immediately recognized who it was, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Senior, is that you?"

He barked excitedly.

“I am communicating with you through my spiritual thoughts. You only need to calm your mind and concentrate on what you want to say, and I will be able to sense it,” Zhu Yeshuang chuckled and replied.

Wu Tian was overjoyed and quickly did as instructed, "Senior, is it really you?! Is Chi Li alright?"

"By the way, I did awaken a new talent just now, and I also discovered some extremely terrifying things."

Thinking of the various scenes he had just witnessed, he quickly recounted all his discoveries.

Even if Wu Tian were completely naive, he would understand that the opportunity he saw halfway up the mountain was actually this senior.

This senior was not only Chi Limu's master, but also the opportunity that enabled him to turn misfortune into good fortune during the annihilation of Skull Mountain. How could he dare to hide anything? He immediately told him everything in detail.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yeshuang frowned. Although she had managed to merge her primordial spirit with the heavens and earth by chance, and was able to comprehend the laws governing the operation of the heavens and earth like a wandering immortal, she did not possess the supernatural power of a wandering immortal to know good fortune and misfortune.

Hearing Wu Tian's words, he finally saw through the mystery and sensed the danger. "It seems that old thief is still not satisfied!"

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes. "If I'm not careful and fall into a trap, it might really ruin my efforts."

With her cultivation and abilities, she was naturally not afraid of the Skull Mountain Sect Leader. Although both of them were Nascent Soul True Persons, if they were to fight, she was confident that she could destroy his Nascent Soul within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Back in the Central Plains, she slew demons from all directions and slaughtered dragons in the East Sea. Her ruthless killings earned her the title of Rakshasa Immortal, a title she earned for a reason.

The mere sect leader of Skull Mountain, who achieved his primordial spirit through unorthodox methods, was not even worth her attention.

However, she is currently suppressing the fire aperture, and it will take her another ten years to complete her cultivation. Once she starts a major conflict, the earth fire will soar into the sky, and the surrounding area of ​​a thousand miles will be ravaged by the earth fire. At that time, it is unknown how many lives will be lost.

When the time comes, due to the karmic consequences, she will be burdened with sins and may only be able to reincarnate and start anew.

Not to mention, according to the white dog, there will be foreign enemies attacking at that time, and the old demon will probably invite other evil spirits to join forces.

If she were alone, even if she had to travel thousands of miles, she would still use her sword to kill every enemy who came to invade.

But now that she was sitting motionless in the Fire Aperture, her true body was unable to move, which was quite troublesome. Zhu Yeshuang pondered for a long time and finally made up her mind, "The Fire Aperture is of great importance. If it is used by evil spirits, it may cause a great disaster. We can only ask the sect for help."

"It's just a pity that the old geezer will probably laugh at me then."

"Humph!"

She was proud and arrogant; in the past, she would probably rather die than be ridiculed.

However, these sixty years of suppressing the fire apertures are not only suppressing the earth fire, but also subduing one's own heart, so that one can not be disturbed by the seven emotions and six desires, and the heart is like floating clouds, always free and at ease. This is the subtlety of the Dao heart, and only in this way can one glimpse the Dao of the laws of heaven and earth.

Zhu Yeshuang looked at Wu Tian, ​​and suddenly felt something, "My encounter with this white dog, and the fact that I was able to learn of the impending disaster through it, is probably not a coincidence..."

"I have been suppressing the fire vein here for sixty years, accumulating merit, and naturally, good fortune will gather here, enabling me to turn misfortune into good fortune."

"Personal cultivation is important, but if one cannot accumulate external merits, does not understand destiny, and does not recognize the opportune time, one will likely be unable to attain the Great Dao in the end, and when disaster strikes, one will be reduced to ashes."

With this thought, she felt her Dao heart rise to a higher level, and the Dharma Gate, which was originally some distance away, was now within her reach.

Zhu Yeshuang was overjoyed. After sixty years of sitting in meditation, if he could attain the Dharma form and become a free immortal, he could live a carefree life for a thousand years. How wonderful that would be!

"Wonderful, wonderful! The workings of Heaven, the opportunities and misfortunes, are truly beyond words!"

She looked at Wu Tian and saw that its fur was snow-white and it could sense good and bad fortune. It was truly a rare auspicious beast, and she felt a sense of closeness and joy in her heart.

“My disciple is truly blessed by heaven. Not only does he possess the Dao Body of the Blazing Fire, but he also has such an auspicious beast by his side. He will likely enjoy immense fortune in the future, and the path to the Great Dao is within his grasp.”

"Since that's the case, let's give it a chance."

Zhu Yeshuang transmitted her thoughts through her primordial spirit, "Little one, Chi Li is doing well with me. She is currently in seclusion and cannot see you."

“I understand everything you have said. Rest assured, with me here, you will be safe from any disaster.”

"I will give you a golden talisman, which allows you to freely enter and exit the mountain gate, and also to come and play in this hot spring."

"When the calamity breaks out, just come here to avoid disaster, and you will be safe."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's initial worries dissipated considerably, and he replied mentally, "Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!"

Before he finished speaking, a golden talisman descended from the sky and disappeared directly into the copper bell hanging around his neck, merging with the bell hammer. It was bright and golden, and when the wind blew, it collided with the bell wall, making a clear and crisp bell sound.

"You have done a great service by informing me of this disaster in advance. Although I cannot pass on the secret techniques of my sect to you, I did acquire several wonderful skills during my travels down the mountain. Long-term practice of these skills will be of great benefit. You should practice them diligently."

As soon as he finished speaking, two streams of light, one purple and one red, descended from the sky and this time directly entered Wu Tian's brow.

"Little fellow, cultivate diligently. If you can achieve perfect body formation, become a spirit beast, and transform into human form within ten years, I can take you back to the sect."

"Go!"

Wu Tian was already stunned by this sudden surprise. Upon hearing what his senior said, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground and thanked him for the opportunity.

When he got up, his innate ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune kicked in. The dark clouds and blood-red light on Skull Mountain were still there, but the underground fire evil had almost disappeared.

Moreover, the sense of crisis he felt from the dark clouds and blood-red light was greatly reduced.

"This place is indeed my lucky place. Every time I come here, I am able to turn bad luck into good and misfortune into good fortune!"

Wu Tian was overjoyed and didn't want to leave for a while. He plunged into the hot spring, where the water rippled and splashed. He hadn't bathed in a long time and felt incredibly refreshed.
