Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Just as a great battle broke out at Qiyun Mountain, hundreds of miles away in the wilderness...

Wu Tian sat cross-legged on a boulder, his body enveloped in a faint blue light, the essence of heaven and earth he absorbed circulating along the route of the first level of the "Wind Mother Twenty-Four Phases Blade".

Ding! System notification: Your first level of the "Wind Mother Twenty-Four Phases Blade" has been completed, and you have awakened the Wind Mother bloodline.

Ding! System notification: You need to switch the Wind Mother bloodline. Switch now?

He had a sudden thought and chose yes.

Ding! System notification: Your current bloodline is the Wind Mother bloodline. The system is adjusting the host's body structure to adapt to the bloodline...

As prompted by the system panel, his body began to undergo subtle changes.

The bones made a slight cracking sound and became more slender; the muscle lines softened, becoming less rigid and more supple; the skin became more delicate and smooth, the pores shrank, and the complexion became fairer.

A slight itching sensation came from my Adam's apple, which gradually subsided.

As the practice deepens, the changes intensify.

His height began to shrink, gradually decreasing from over seven feet to around seven feet. His shoulders narrowed, his waist thinned, and his hips became more rounded. A slight swelling and tenderness appeared in his chest, and it began to swell slightly.

Facial contours become softer, jawlines are smoother, and cheekbones are less prominent. Eyebrows become thinner and longer, eyes become larger, eyelashes become longer and thicker, and lips become more rosy and full.

Wu Tian could clearly feel the newly emerging Wind Mother bloodline and an irresistible force transforming his body.

Her height continued to shrink, eventually settling at around six feet five inches. Her shoulders became much narrower, her waist became slender, her breasts became more prominent, forming a beautiful curve, her hips became fuller, and her legs became long and straight.

Especially her face, which had now completely transformed into that of a woman, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a straight and elegant nose, rosy lips, a pointed chin, and skin as white as snow, so delicate it seemed as if it could be broken with a touch.

A head of black hair began to grow, its color gradually fading, from black to dark brown, then to light brown, and finally to a silvery-white like moonlight, reaching down to the waist, smooth and shiny.

When all the changes were complete, Wu Tian slowly opened his eyes.

He looked down at his hands.

Those were a pair of fair and slender hands, with fingers as white as scallions, neatly trimmed nails that shimmered with a faint pinkish luster, and delicate skin on the back of the hands with visible pale blue veins.

He reached up and touched his face; his skin was smooth and delicate, feeling like silk. He then touched his throat; his Adam's apple had completely disappeared, and his neck was long and fair.

He couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. With a thought, a wisp of blade light condensed, shining brightly like a mirror.

Using the blade, he could see his current appearance.

It was the figure of a woman, with a cold and beautiful face, skin as white as snow, long silver hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall, a full bust, a slender waist, and long legs.

Although he had expected this to be the likely outcome, he still couldn't help but widen his eyes when it actually happened to him.

Wu Tian opened his mouth, as if to speak.

But the sound it produced was clear and crisp like a bell, possessing a uniquely feminine gentleness, yet also a hint of coolness:
"This...this is the bloodline of the Bai family's Wind Mother?"

His voice carried a sense of helplessness.

"Alright, a woman it is then. It's not like I can't turn back anyway... Many of those legendary immortals, Buddhas, and saints possess multiple forms, some male and some female, so it's nothing..."

"You could say I'm getting closer to becoming a deity or Buddha."

He comforted himself, saying that his voice was clear and melodious, and if a man heard it, he would probably be captivated by it.

He moved his body around to get used to his new body.

His movements were as light as the wind, every turn and step he took was as agile as the wind, his bloodline as the Wind Mother endowed him with extraordinary perception and speed.

Although he had only mastered the first level of the "Wind Mother Twenty-Four Phases Blade" technique, the characteristics of this manual were already evident.

Wu Tian looked towards Qiyun Mountain, his pupils filled with interwoven incantations, allowing him to see every detail of the mountain clearly.

He saw the Black Mountain Demon and the Martial Virtue Star Lord fighting fiercely in the sky, their golden spears clashing with giant axes, sparks flying everywhere; he saw Lady Zhurong and Bai Wenxian joining forces to attack the canyon, flames and hurricanes raging; he saw Bai Yaochen manifest his three-headed, six-armed form, fighting two against one, battling valiantly.

Upon reaching the depths of the canyon, Bai Qian sat cross-legged, her face pale.

"Can't wait any longer."

Wu Tian narrowed his eyes. Under the watchful eye of his Thousand-Mile Eyes, he discovered that the cultivators from the five great families had begun to surround and approach Bai Qian. Once these people made their move, Bai Yaochen would be unable to stop them, and then things would get troublesome.

"At the speed of the Golden-Winged Roc, it would only take a few breaths to reach this place..."

Wu Tian took a deep breath and silently chanted, "Switch to Huo Dou bloodline."

In an instant, he felt the blood in his body begin to boil.

The bloodline of the Wind Mother receded like a tide, replaced by a more ancient, more violent, and more ferocious bloodline power. It was the bloodline of the ancient ferocious beast Huodou, a forbidden existence that held the power over fire, war, and the planet Mars.

"Crack...knock..."

The sound of bones grinding together came from inside the body.

Wu Tian's body began to swell and deform, and black scales appeared on his skin, with dark red firelight shining through the gaps in the scales.

Its limbs stretched out, its fingertips transforming into sharp claws, the tips of which burned with inextinguishable flames. Its spine extended, and a thick tail grew from its tailbone, the end of which resembled an iron hammer, wreathed in flames, making it incredibly ferocious.

The head also changed, the facial bones elongated, the mouth and nose protruded, fangs were exposed, and the eyes turned into blood-red vertical pupils.

In just a few breaths, Wu Tian transformed from human form into the ancient ferocious beast Huodou.

Resembling a giant dog, its mouth is full of interlocking fangs that gleam with a cold light, its eyes are pure burning flames, its four thick legs have sharp claws that gleam with the black luster of iron at the end, and when its tail swings, sparks fly and scorch the air.

The moment the transformation was complete, the Mars destiny was activated.

"Buzz!"

In that instant, it seemed as if his mind soared to the heavens, resonating with that ancient planet Mars in an extremely subtle way.

Those blessed with the Mars destiny can control calamities and flames, possess a physique like a star, and have unparalleled power. As long as Mars is extinguished, Huo Dou will never die.

Although the Mars Destiny has not yet been fully cultivated and awakened into supernatural powers, it is still able to fight against a Primordial Spirit True Person simply by relying on its pure blood of the Calamity and the blessing of the Mars Destiny.

In the sky, a blood-red star shone brightly, its light eerie and uncanny; it was none other than the ancient star, Mars.

The planet Mars shone brightly, its light as red as blood, a sign of impending disaster and death. The surrounding vegetation began to wither, the rocks began to crack, and even the air became scorching and polluted.

Bathed in starlight, Wu Tian's body glowed even brighter, and his aura surged.

He looked up at the sky and could feel that as his Mars destiny was activated, a terrifying intent locked onto him from the shadows. That intent was filled with anger, murderous intent, and greed.

"Golden-Winged Roc..."

Wu Tian muttered to himself, "You'd better hurry up!"

……

Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains lies the Palace of Immortality. This is a mountain range covered by primeval forests, and at its center stands a magnificent palace complex. The palaces are constructed of paulownia wood and jade, exquisite and luxurious, exuding an ancient aura.

Demon kings patrolled around the palace, their demonic aura soaring to the sky and their malevolent energy permeating the air.

This is the core territory of the Southern Frontier Demon Clan, the Undying Palace.

At this moment, on a mountaintop outside the Undying Palace, two figures were gazing at the Undying Palace from afar.

The man on the left was an old man wearing a purple and gold Taoist robe. His hair and beard were all white, but his face was rosy like a baby's, and his eyes flashed with starlight and lightning when they opened and closed.

He stood with his hands behind his back in the void, surrounded by countless bolts of lightning that sometimes transformed into wolves and sometimes into stars, radiating a chilling pressure.

It was Cao Tiangang, the patriarch of the Cao family, who was only half a step away from becoming a true immortal.

The person on the right was a middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe. A golden halo slowly rotated behind his head, and a god or demon sat cross-legged in the halo, exuding a terrifying aura.

It was none other than the Great Sun Palace Master who had previously severely injured the Golden-Winged Roc.

The two stood side by side, gazing at the Undying Palace a hundred miles away.

The Cao family patriarch suddenly twitched his brow, “Over at Qiyun Mountain… Bai Qian has begun her breakthrough.”

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Great Sun Palace Master: "Oh? So fast? Then it's time for us to make our move!"

As the two were talking, a deafening and furious roar came from deep within the Undying Palace.

"Damn thief, if I catch you, I will tear you to pieces and burn your soul to make lamps."

Before the words were even finished, a golden rainbow shot into the sky, hurtling eastward at an astonishing speed. Wherever the golden rainbow passed, it tore open long-lasting cracks in the void, its speed almost exceeding the limits of space itself.

"The Golden-Winged Roc?!" Cao Tiangang's expression changed drastically. "Why has he suddenly gone mad? Where is he going?"

The Great Sun Palace Master also looked puzzled, but the next moment, his eyes flickered slightly, "The direction he went seems to be Qiyun Mountain..."

“Then let’s hurry and catch up.” Cao Tiangang frowned. “If this beast gets to Qiyun Mountain, we’ll be in big trouble.”

However, after a moment's thought, the Lord of the Great Sun Palace shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Cao, my Fire God Palace has already fulfilled our previous agreement. Even my Fire God Palace's founder, Lord Wude, has descended to the mortal realm."

"Now that the Black Mountain Demon is restrained and the Golden-Winged Roc has left, my Fire God Palace needs to seize this opportunity to kill the Azure Phoenix and break through the Undying Palace."

"I'm sorry I can't go with you!"

Cao Tiangang's face darkened: "What does the Palace Master mean by this? We have been planning for a long time, and even the Martial Virtue Star Lord and the Nine Heavens Killing Child General have been alarmed. Are you going to give up now and let us all fail at the last moment?"

The Lord of the Great Sun Palace still smiled, but his tone left no room for doubt: "Fellow Daoist Cao, now your aristocratic families have gained an absolute advantage. If you arrive at Qiyun Mountain in time and join forces with Lady Zhurong and Bai Wenxian, you can completely suppress the Golden-Winged Roc that was seriously injured before."

"Once I kill the Azure Phoenix and pacify the Undying Palace, I will naturally arrive in time to join you in besieging and killing the Golden-Winged Roc."

“You…” A flash of anger crossed Cao Tiangang’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. “Palace Master, your actions are putting the cart before the horse. After killing the Golden-Winged Roc, the mere Azure Phoenix can be crushed with a flick of the wrist.”

"If we let that Golden-Winged Roc escape, all our plans will fall apart."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Great Sun Palace remained calm and composed. "Everything has its order. Now that we have arrived outside the Undying Palace, we must first complete our established goals."

"As for the Golden-Winged Roc... once we break through the Undying Palace and kill the Azure Phoenix, I will go to Mount Qiyun myself."

He had his own considerations. Surrounding and killing the Golden-Winged Roc was extremely dangerous, but in the end, the benefits would be entirely swallowed up by the Cao family patriarch.

Even if the two sides cooperate, the Cao family is too powerful, which is definitely not what the Fire God Palace wants to see. Moreover, behind the Golden-Winged Roc is the Fire Virtue Star Lord.

If one were to be stained with the blood of the Golden-Winged Roc, one would likely be punished by that Great Sage sooner or later.

He didn't believe that his own grandmaster, the Martial Virtue Star Lord, or the Nine Heavens Child Killer General behind the Cao family would risk his life to protect him.

Cao Tiangang gave him a deep look, suppressed his eagerness, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, then I will go to Qiyun Mountain as the Palace Master says."

"Hopefully the Palace Master can act quickly, otherwise if we delay until Bai Qian successfully breaks through, and she joins forces with the Golden-Winged Roc, it will be difficult to kill that Roc."

The Lord of the Great Sun Palace nodded: "Fellow Daoist Cao, rest assured, since I have promised you, I will naturally not go back on my word. Once the matter of the Undying Palace is settled, I will arrive as soon as possible."

"Very well." Cao Tiangang forced a smile, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and swiftly headed towards Qiyun Mountain.

After the Cao family patriarch left, the halo behind the Great Sun Palace Master's head suddenly expanded, and a demon god's avatar emerged from it.

"Boom!"

A gigantic hand, obscuring the sky, appeared out of nowhere and slammed down fiercely towards the Undying Palace.

"Crack, click, click..."

The cry of a phoenix echoed above the Undying Palace. The ancient Phoenix Nest, which had been cultivated for countless years, was activated with a dense array of magic formations and restrictions, and hundreds and thousands of phoenixes soared into the sky.

An angry woman's voice echoed from within the Undying Palace.

"Great Sun Palace Master, do you truly intend to fight the Undying Palace to the death?!"

"Aren't you afraid that one day, our Great Sage will return to the mortal realm and slaughter you all?"

"Do you really think that the God of Martial Virtue can protect you?"

An enormous blue phoenix soared into the sky, flapping its wings and letting out a long cry.

The Lord of the Great Sun Palace did not respond, but the Dharma image took out an ancient bow from behind his back, then nocked a sun-shooting bone arrow and aimed it at the Azure Phoenix in the heavens.

hum!
As the bowstring trembled, a golden light radiating an incomparably ferocious aura tore through the sky.

……

At this moment, outside Qiyun Mountain, less than ten breaths after Wu Tian transformed into Huodou, a furious thought traversed thousands of miles of void and resounded across the sky.

"Damn thief, let's see where you run to!"

"They've finally arrived!" Wu Tian's lips curled into a cold smile.

Without further hesitation, he immediately switched bloodlines.

The evil bloodline within him receded like a tide, replaced by a light, ethereal, and wind-like bloodline power.

It is the bloodline of the Bai family's Fengmu.

As the bloodline changed, Huodou's true form began to shrink and deform rapidly.

Her body hair disappeared, revealing fair skin; her sharp claws retracted, transforming into delicate, jade-like hands; her fangs vanished, and her mouth and nose returned to human form; her horns disappeared, and long hair cascaded down her back…

In just a few breaths, Wu Tian transformed from an ancient ferocious beast, Huo Dou, into a beautiful woman.

At the same time, the terrifying intent that had been locking onto him suddenly lost its target the instant the Huodou bloodline disappeared. (End of Chapter)
