Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Deep in the Qiyun Mountain canyon.

A figure in pure white sat quietly cross-legged, her posture as upright as a pine tree in the snow. She wore a spotless white dress, and her long silver hair cascaded down to her waist and hips. Her jade-like face was serene and aloof, like a fairy.

However, her fluffy dog ​​ears and soft, bushy tail added a touch of allure and wildness to her appearance.

She is Bai Qian, one of the eight great demon immortals in the world.

At this moment, her eyes were closed, her face was cold and exquisite like an ice sculpture, but there was an inviolable murderous intent between her brows. Starlight fell from the sky like a waterfall, engulfing her body.

The cold starlight resonated with her breath, echoing the bright Venus in the eastern sky.

In the first level of the Chaotic Heaven, the star Taibai, which had been restored to its rightful place in the world, transformed into a pure, cold, and sharp silver-white color after undergoing countless trials by the tides of law and the repeated tempering by the storms and thunder of the void, as well as the ultimate sublimation of its own bloodline origin.

This silvery white is not the hazy softness of moonlight, but the ancient coldness of stars, the eternal sharpness of divine metal, and the supreme solemnity of Venus, who governs killing, warfare, and change.

Inside the planet Taibai, countless complex and profound incantations, engraved by bloodline inheritance and personal insights, are perfectly linked to form a talisman flowing with sharp sword light.

This is the origin of the stars, the authority bestowed by heaven and earth, and the great power of the demon saint all originate from this.

This star is called Taibai because of this talisman.

This talisman was formed by heaven and earth. Because Bai Qian's nature, foundation, and supernatural powers were in harmony with the ancient Taibai Star, she was able to obtain this talisman and transform her inner core into Taibai Star, thus wielding the supremely sharp and decisive law that governs killing and change.

"Zheng!"

A clear and melodious sword cry, seemingly capable of cleansing the souls of the three realms and cleaving through the eternal void, resounded from Taibai Star and instantly spread throughout the nine heavens, causing countless immortals and gods who sensed it to tremble.

The next moment, an endless, dazzling sword light, containing the power to sever all shackles and dispel all illusions, slashed upwards towards the sky.

The fierce winds and thunderbolts along the way struck the sword light, producing a continuous clang of metal striking metal. The sword light was not weakened; instead, it was tempered like a whetstone, making its edge even sharper, faster, and more powerful, fiercely piercing through the second heaven and slashing towards the third heaven.

All obstacles encountered along the way, whether ancient meteorites, dangerous void rifts, or raging tides of law, were silently shredded and annihilated by the all-powerful, sharp sword energy the moment they touched the sword light.

The sword light swept through the air with unstoppable force, finally coming to a sudden halt deep within the third heaven, in a place where star trails intertwined.

All the brilliance suddenly receded, and at that star orbit node, a star that radiated boundless light and exuded an ancient aura materialized from nothingness, slowly emerging, condensing, and finally settling completely.

Venus hangs silently, slowly rotating, its surface faintly crisscrossed with shimmering sword-like patterns, radiating a chilling and murderous aura that makes the surrounding stars pale in comparison.

Venus has returned to its rightful place in the Third Heaven!

Just as the illusory image of Venus returned to its original position deep within the third heaven and its light shone down upon the mortal realm.

Bai Qian, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes.

In the depths of her pupils, it seemed as if stars were being born and dying, and endless sword energy was crisscrossing and evolving the ultimate truth of killing and change.

A vast, cold, and incomparably sharp sword aura suddenly surged up from within Bai Qian's body, instantly sweeping across the entire canyon and spreading further into the distance.

"Click, click..."

The ground beneath her, as solid as refined iron, could not withstand the naturally overflowing pressure and sword energy, and cracked inch by inch.

Bai Qian slowly stood up, her plain white dress fluttering without wind, her silver hair flying, and the wounds on her body left by enemies during her breakthrough were healing and smoothing at a visible speed under the flowing starlight.

Her skin became increasingly radiant and translucent, with a subtle shimmer of starlight.

Even its long, silvery-white hair and dog tail seemed to have been washed anew by starlight, becoming even more dazzling and crystalline. Every strand of hair and every wisp of down contained the pure power of the stars and the incomparably sharp Taibai sword energy.

Simply by standing naturally, the invisible pressure and sword energy emanating from his body cut and peeled countless smooth, mirror-like sword marks from the already dilapidated rock walls on both sides of the canyon.

The moment she opened her icy eyes, her gaze fell upon Bai Long'er, who was fiercely guarding him.

"Bai Long'er..." she murmured softly, her red lips slightly parted. Her voice was still cold, but it carried a tremor and sob that was almost imperceptible.

Then, she slowly raised her gaze and quickly swept it over the Yuan Shen True Persons who were frantically fleeing in all directions on the battlefield.

These aristocratic cultivators, who had already been scattered and fled by Wu Tian, ​​were now terrified when they saw Bai Qian successfully break through to the Demon Saint realm. They dared not hesitate for a moment and fled for their lives.

Although Wu Tian pursued them relentlessly, each of those Nascent Soul cultivators possessed remarkable escape techniques, making it difficult for him to stop them all.

Bai Qian gently raised her fair and jade-like hand, pointed her fingers like a sword, and casually tapped the void in front of her.

"Zheng!!!"

A sword's cry erupted from her fingertips, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Behind her, the void suddenly twisted and shattered.

A colossal phantom of Venus, radiating starlight, projected down from the third heaven and appeared majestically behind her.

Starlight spills out, and wherever its light reaches, the colors of the world seem to be reduced to a cold, silvery white.

The next moment, the vast starlight suddenly split apart!
One becomes ten, ten become a hundred, a hundred become a thousand, a thousand become ten thousand... In an instant, it differentiates into billions of sword lights that are as solid as a substance, as thin as a hair, yet incomparably sharp.

These sword lights converged into a vast and mighty river of sword energy that stretched across the sky, illuminating the dim battlefield. They also carried a soul-locking and spirit-stabilizing killing intent as they slashed down towards the primordial spirits of those noble families.

"Escape! Escape!"

"No! Demon Saint, spare us! We are willing to surrender!"

"Split up and escape! What can she do..."

At this moment, there were still seventeen Yuan Shen True Persons alive. Seeing Bai Qian make her move, these people were terrified and no longer cared about the face of their noble families or their mission. They pushed their escape speed to the limit and fled in all directions, in the sky and on the ground, even trying to tear through the void to escape into the turbulent currents, desperately fleeing for their lives.

However, the galaxy composed of billions of sword lights seemed to possess its own spirit, containing the laws of heaven and earth. Each sword light precisely locked onto the aura of a Nascent Soul True Person.

Ignore distance, ignore obstacles, ignore any defensive magic, protective artifacts, or substitution techniques they employ!
"puff!"

"puff!"

Seventeen faint yet chilling piercing sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

In the sky, the seventeen streaks of light that had been fleeing for their lives froze simultaneously. Whether they had already escaped dozens of miles away, had just soared into the air, or had half their bodies already submerged in the void rift... they were all frozen in place.

The dazzling protective aura emanating from their bodies, along with the ancient mirrors, pagodas, spirit banners, and other magical treasures they summoned, all silently shattered and vanished like soap bubbles in the sunlight. Simultaneously, a bloodstain appeared between the brows of each of them.

Immediately afterwards...

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Seventeen lifeless bodies exploded in mid-air, turning into the finest dust, leaving not a drop of blood or a piece of flesh behind, completely annihilated in the cold sword light.

Their primordial spirits were terrified. Having just escaped from their shattered bodies, they hadn't even had a chance to flee again when they were gently swept away by the sweeping, unstoppable river of sword light.

Like a gust of wind sweeping across a candle flame.

Silently and without a trace, the seventeen primordial spirits completely dissipated into the world, their souls and spirits annihilated.

From the moment Bai Qian made her move until the seventeen Nascent Soul cultivators were completely wiped out, the entire process took no more than a breath.

The sword energy galaxy did not immediately dissipate after annihilating all enemies.

The Milky Way swept up the bloodline orbs left behind by the seventeen Nascent Soul True Persons after their fall, and flew back.

Bai Qian waved her jade hand lightly, and starlight transformed into a rainbow bridge, landing in front of Wu Tian. "Fellow Daoist, thank you for protecting me today."

"I see you seem to care a lot about these bloodline orbs, so they are all yours."

Looking at Bai Qian shrouded in starlight, Wu Tian thought of the past and felt a mix of emotions. He had a thousand words he wanted to say, but he didn't know what to say.

He was about to speak when Bai Yaochen, having already shed his demon king form, rushed over like a puppy that had been let loose, calling out in surprise and joy, "Mother..."

Bai Qian froze, staring blankly at Bai Yaochen. "What's going on? What's wrong with this dog? Is this some new game?"

Wu Tian was speechless. His stupid son was truly stupid to the extreme. He actually called his mother in broad daylight. Did he want others to know who he was?
With a sway, his hundreds-of-feet-tall true form of the Fiend disappeared, transforming into a red hound a little over three feet long. Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed the magic beads.

"Lord Bai, I only happened to be there today. If the people of the Fire God Palace had succeeded, none of us Southern Border demons would have had a good end."

"I'll take these prayer beads with me. I have important matters to attend to. We'll meet again someday."

After saying that, Wu Tian turned and left without hesitation. Now was not the time to recognize Bai Qian and Bai Yaochen.

Having formed a karmic bond with the Great Sun Tathagata that day, and with an even deeper entanglement with the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable, it would be more of a disaster than a blessing to rashly enter under the noses of those powerful beings without sufficient strength.

"Qianqian has now become a demon saint, and Yaochen's strength is also growing stronger, so he already has enough ability to protect himself."

"As long as we keep improving our strength, our family will always have a time to reunite."

In a flash, his mind raced, and he transformed into a streak of light, heading deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Bai Qian stared at his departing figure, slightly stunned, feeling a strange sense of familiarity. But she quickly came to her senses and looked at the 'Bai Long'er' in front of her with an unusual gaze.

"What did you call me just now?"

Bai Yaochen also snapped out of his surprise and quickly shut his mouth. He waved his hand and scattered a beam of Taiqing Immortal Light, then threw out the Merit Vajra Bracelet, completely engulfing the two of them in auspicious golden light.

After doing all this, he transmitted his voice to Bai Qian and said, "Mother, it's me, Chen'er!"

Bai Qian was stunned, and said in disbelief, "You said you are... Yao Chen?"

"But... how is that possible? Didn't you already..."

Bai Yaochen said excitedly, "Mother, I didn't die! I didn't die back then! Father saved me..."

Bai Qian was both surprised and delighted. However, after glancing around at the blood-soaked and ravaged landscape, she said, "This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

With that, she unleashed a sword beam that swept up Bai Yaochen, and soon disappeared from the spot, heading south.

……

Just as Bai Qian was leaving with Bai Yaochen, the Black Mountain Demon and the Martial Virtue Star Lord had already fought their way from the lower realm to the depths of the third level of the Chaotic Heaven.

The surrounding void was turbulent like a tide, the gale was like a knife, and the thunder was like a net. The tide of law and reason had transformed into a visible seven-colored light band, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, sometimes as calm as satin, and sometimes as violent as a dragon.

The mountain giant that the Black Mountain Demon had transformed into was surrounded by mysterious light, and countless incantations flowed within each wisp of light, like the veins of the earth or like the talismans of the underworld.

The incantations intertwined and collided, emitting sounds of ghostly wails and divine howls, and vaguely appeared the phantoms of ghostly soldiers wielding spears and underworld generals patrolling the mountains.

Wu De Xing Jun stood in mid-air opposite the Black Mountain Demon. His crimson-gold armor was still dazzling, but upon closer inspection, several fine cracks had appeared on the armor plates.

The crimson-gold divine wheel behind his head spun endlessly, and the strange phenomenon of ten thousand armies waging war within it became increasingly clear. The sound of war drums even drowned out the roar of the void storm.

The unsheathed immortal sword in his hand had a long, narrow blade with the ancient seal characters "Martial Virtue" engraved on its spine. At this moment, it was emitting a sharp edge, a sharpness so pure that just looking at it caused a stinging pain to the soul.

"Black Mountain." Wu De Xingjun spoke, his voice piercing through the raging winds and clearly reaching the ears of the Black Mountain Demon. "Bai Qian has already condensed the Tai Bai Star and achieved the position of Demon Saint. The war in the lower realm is over. If the two of us continue to fight, it will only waste our magic power and be meaningless."

His tone remained authoritative, but upon closer listening, one could discern a subtle hint of urgency.

On the enormous face of the Black Mountain Demon, his eyes, as deep as abyss, shifted slightly, emitting a booming sound like the rumble of the earth: "Hahaha, Wu De brat, are you afraid?"

"What do I have to fear?" The battle mark between Wu De Xing Jun's brows flashed. "If the battle continues, you will surely die by my sword."

The Black Mountain Demon suddenly let out a deafening laugh: "Wu De, stop putting on airs. You just want me to let you go so you can help your Great Sun Palace Master."

"Let me tell you, don't even think about it. With me here today, you won't be able to leave even a step."

Wu De Xingjun's face darkened: "Heishan, do not be so stubborn. I have already joined forces with the Nine Heavens Killing Child General. If you continue to be obstinate, you will surely be punished in the future."

"You have cultivated diligently for two thousand years to achieve this, do not ruin your path because of a moment of anger."

"If you stop now, I can lend you a hand and let you receive the Tai Sui talisman in the mortal realm. At that time, you will hold the power of Tai Sui and enjoy the fortune of the Heavenly Court. This will complement your Yinshan Dharma Image, and it will not be impossible for you to glimpse the Great Dao of Golden Immortals in the future."

Why fight to the death with me for the sake of others?

The Martial Virtue Star Lord's words were a perfect blend of persuasion and pressure, reason and emotion. He kept his gaze fixed on the Black Mountain Demon, awaiting a response. (End of Chapter)
