Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

"The remaining fire element is controlled by Buddhism, with the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha and the Bodhisattva Dingguang currently in charge."

"This Bodhisattva is an ancient relic that has lived from ancient times to the present day. He has been seeking the position of Dipankara Buddha and is only half a step away from the position of Buddha."

"With two Arhats, Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger, seated beneath him, their strength rivals that of Taoist immortals, and they now firmly control the Fire Department."

The Golden Light Mother put down her teacup, her gaze becoming profound: "In other words, the four departments of the Heavenly Court are actually divided among three Heavenly Venerables: the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable leads the Fighting Department, which is the most powerful; the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable leads the Thunder and Water Departments; and the Sumeru Heavenly Venerable, also known as the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha, leads the Fire Department."

"All the gods in the Heavenly Court belong to the Four Departments."

She looked at Bai Fengxian: "The four department heads not only represent power and status, but if one can receive their edicts, it will greatly benefit one's cultivation. In the ancient Heavenly Court, there were many department heads who used their positions to cultivate and reach the Golden Immortal realm."

“I am vying with the Thunder God for this position, so I do not want him to marry you. When the wind and thunder unite, your prestige in the Thunder Department will surpass mine, and my chances of becoming the master of the Thunder Department will be greatly reduced.”

"I don't want to hide it from you, so I'm telling you frankly."

"I can protect you from now on, but you cannot marry General Lei, how about that?"

Bai Fengxian understood perfectly, but this was exactly what she wanted.

She would never have married Lei Gong in the first place, but now that the Golden Light Mother has offered to protect her, she couldn't have asked for more.

She immediately nodded and solemnly said, "Rest assured, Goddess of Lightning, I am devoted to the Dao and will never marry the God of Thunder. I will remember your kindness in rescuing me today."

The Golden Light Mother's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Very well, Feng Hou is indeed wise. In that case, you and I are allies. In this Heavenly Court, having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy."

The two reached an agreement on the matter, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed, with their conversation becoming much more casual.

The Heavenly Lord of Lightning attained enlightenment very early and knew many secrets. He spoke eloquently about the affairs of the Heavenly Court, from which Bai Fengxian benefited greatly.

Before long, the two brought up the rules of the Thunder Department.

The Holy Mother of Golden Light sighed, "Although the Thunder Department has been established, there are still many constraints on its exercise of power in the Three Realms."

Bai Fengxian's expression turned serious: "I would like to hear the details."

The Golden Light Mother's pupils held a cold glint. "The core authority of the Thunder Department lies in wind, rain, and thunder, but the Dragon Clan can also control clouds and rain and manipulate thunder."

"After the ancient Heavenly Court fell, the Dragon Clan seized power over the four seas, and their strength and influence grew larger and larger. Even after the Heavenly Court was re-established and the Thunder Department and Water Department were established, they still could not regain the power of wind, rain and thunder."

"Over the years, the Dragon Clan has utterly humiliated the Thunder Department and the Water Department. In recent years, the two sides have been openly and covertly fighting each other, and in private, they have been waging wars all the time."

She sighed: "Previously, with the support of Jade Void Celestial Venerable, we were able to barely contend with the Dragon Clan. But now, the Jade Void Daoist lineage has diverted a portion of its strength to the Northwest Demon God Dao battlefield, allowing the Dragon Clan to free up its resources and set foot on land."

Upon hearing this, Bai Fengxian immediately understood.

It's likely that this Golden Light Mother knew her origins perfectly well, which is why she mentioned the Dragon Clan, especially when the Dragon Clan set foot on land. This clearly refers to Moang, the third prince of the Dragon Clan.

After all, it was no secret that the Bai family possessed the bloodline of the Wind Mother.

After a moment's thought, she said, "I come from the Bai family of the Southern Frontier, and I have heard about the Dragon Clan coming ashore. The Third Prince of the Dragon Clan came ashore from the South China Sea and established a palace in Tonghai County."

"My Bai family has also joined forces with other forces to seek to expel the dragon race. I wonder if the Heavenly Lord can lend a hand and help us slay the true dragon?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Light Mother's expression turned solemn: "Sister, you are unaware of the true nature of the Dragon Clan. Their foundation is far too profound."

"That Lord of the Azure Sky is the ancient Azure Dragon, who created the Azure Sky with the body of a Great Sage of the Demon Clan. Although he is currently asleep, he is the most solid foundation of the Dragon Clan."

"Besides, there are too many ancient beings still alive in the Dragon Clan. No one knows if there are any other Golden Immortals in the Dragon Clan now."

"The East Sea Dragon Palace alone has four Dragon Kings, twelve princes, and hundreds of millions of aquatic creatures under its command. It can be said that it has a large army and many generals, making it extremely difficult to deal with."

Golden Light Holy Mother looked at Bai Fengxian and said seriously, "Now the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable and the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable have joined forces to plot the division of Heaven and Man, and have obtained the support of Sumeru Heavenly Venerable by attacking the Northwest Demon God Path and ceding it to Buddhism."

"Therefore, once the Northwest Demon God Path battlefield ends, it will be the beginning of the separation between heaven and man."

"The Dragon Clan also knows that the situation is hopeless, and they are now plotting to seize power in the Heavenly Court's Water Department and actively moving closer to the Heavenly Court."

"The Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable and the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable were unwilling to completely break ties with the Dragon Clan when they went to war with the Northwest Demon God Sect. Therefore, the relationship between the two sides actually eased after the Northwest Demon God Sect started the war."

She said, word by word, "Therefore, the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace, Moang, can only be forced back, not killed. Otherwise, it will cause a backlash from the Dragon Clan, with endless consequences."

"At that time, let alone you, a newly ascended True Immortal, Feng Hou, even I, the Goddess of Lightning, and even the entire Thunder Department, cannot bear this responsibility."

Bai Fengxian remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

She did indeed harbor the intention to slay the dragon, but now, after hearing the Golden Light Mother's analysis, she realized that the matter was far-reaching and that a single misstep could lead to catastrophic disaster.

"Thank you for the reminder, Goddess of Lightning," Bai Fengxian said solemnly. "I understand. I will consider this matter carefully and will not act rashly."

The Golden Light Mother nodded: "It's good that you understand. Actually, it's not just you. The Thunder Department and the Water Department also want to completely suppress the Dragon Clan, but the time is not right, so they can only endure."

The two talked for a long time, and the Golden Light Mother told Bai Fengxian about the relationships between the various forces in the Heavenly Court, taboos, cultivation resources, etc., from which Bai Fengxian benefited greatly.

An hour later, Bai Fengxian took her leave and departed from the Palace of the Goddess of Lightning.

She had just returned to Feng Hou Palace and had not yet entered the hall when she saw a Taoist boy in green robes riding on a cloud on the cloud path in front of the palace.

The young Taoist appeared to be twelve or thirteen years old, with delicate features, his hair styled in two buns, and he wore a light blue Taoist robe embroidered with cloud patterns unique to the Jade Void Palace.

He walked barefoot on the clouds, and three inches of clear light naturally emanated from beneath his feet. With each step, the cloud path automatically condensed into jade steps. In his hand, he held a white jade whisk, the whisk's strands flowing like moonlight, and its movement had a calming and soothing effect.

Most strikingly, a bronze lamp floats three feet above his head.

The lamp was ancient and simple, without oil or a wick, yet a pale green flame burned quietly. The flame seemed weak, but it exuded an aura of eternal light; wherever the lamp shone, the void naturally became serene, and all evil retreated.

The young Taoist priest arrived at the palace on a cloud and landed silently.

He bowed to Bai Fengxian, his voice clear as a spring, "This humble Taoist priest is a lamp-serving attendant of the Jade Void Palace. I have come here to deliver the decree of the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable."

Bai Fengxian's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly returned the greeting: "Thank you for your trouble, servant."

The lamp-bearing attendant took out a jade talisman from his sleeve.

The jade talisman was one foot long and three inches wide, pure white as snow, with naturally formed cloud patterns resembling those of the Jade Void Palace on its surface. There were no words on the talisman, but the oppressive aura it emitted was as vast as the sea.

"Celestial decree: There is now a White Phoenix Immortal who has inherited the lineage of the Taiyin Wind Mother and cultivated the wind aspect of the twenty-four solar terms. She has already ascended to the position of a true immortal. She is hereby specially conferred the title of Wind Mother Yuanjun, in charge of the Wind Queen Palace, ranked among the righteous gods of the Heavenly Court, enjoying the salary of a fifth-rank immortal, and entering the Thunder Department to receive orders."

The boy with the green lamp spoke in a clear voice, and with each word he uttered, the jade talisman lit up a little more. When the last word was spoken, the jade talisman transformed into a beam of white light and flew into Bai Fengxian's brow.

Bai Fengxian felt a vast Daoist aura merge into her sea of ​​consciousness, establishing a mysterious connection with the Fenghou Palace. She sensed that her control over the palace had increased from ten percent to thirty percent. At the same time, countless profound pieces of information surfaced in her mind.

How to regulate the winds of the four seasons, how to coordinate with the Thunder Department to bring rain, how to coordinate with the other three departments... these are the duties and powers of the righteous gods of Heaven.

At the same time, it is also a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth, which is of great benefit to one's own cultivation. It is as if the laws of heaven and earth are completely displayed in front of oneself.

As long as one can wield the power of the Wind God, one's cultivation will improve day by day.

"No wonder countless immortals and gods are vying for the Heavenly Court's edicts to gain power; it's practically the ladder to heaven."

Bai Fengxian was so engrossed in the power of the Wind God that she was deeply shocked.

After the attendant finished conveying the imperial edict, he bowed and said, "The edict has been delivered; this humble Taoist takes his leave."

Having said that, he rode on a cloud and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Bai Fengxian gazed in the direction the boy had left, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

She had just heard the Golden Light Holy Mother talk about the situation in the Heavenly Court, so she naturally knew that the Thunder Department was under the jurisdiction of the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable. It was only natural that the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable had bestowed the talisman.

Of course, she had no right to refuse such a being.

However, for her, this imperial edict was more beneficial than harmful.

With the official investiture from the Heavenly Court, she rightfully became the Wind Mother Primordial Sovereign, her position was secure, she could enjoy celestial stipends and resources, and she could also call upon some of the Thunder Department's authority.

She turned and entered the Fenghou Palace, beginning to carefully examine the palace.

Fenghou Palace covers an area of ​​about 100 acres. The main building is a nine-story green jade building, which is 27 zhang high. Each floor corresponds to three different seasonal wind patterns.

Behind the palace, there is a garden planted with various magical herbs and trees. At the very center is the Wind and Moon Spring, whose source is unfathomable. When the wind blows, the water ripples and produces a clear, bell-like sound. At the same time, it can gather moonlight to nourish the entire palace.

Bai Fengxian soon discovered that this palace was actually the grotto-heaven created by the ancient Wind Mother, but it was rooted in the Heavenly Court, connected with the Heavenly Court's fortune, and became part of the Heavenly Court system.

She has now been appointed by the Heavenly Court and controls 30% of the authority, and can draw upon 30% of the palace's power. This is already the strength and cultivation of a True Immortal at the peak of their cultivation.

The fact that someone could be compared to a true immortal who had cultivated for countless years upon being conferred a title is truly terrifying, as evidenced by the Heavenly Court's decree.

At this point, she already possessed the power to contend with Moang, the third prince of the Dragon Palace.

However, it remains to be seen whether they can actually kill him, since they have never fought each other before.

Bai Fengxian sat cross-legged in the quiet room of the palace and began to carefully ponder the words of the Golden Light Mother.

"It seems that slaying a true dragon is incredibly difficult. Even a celestial deity like the Golden Light Mother has many concerns," Bai Fengxian murmured. "However, I have finally broken through to the True Immortal realm, and now I am qualified to protect the Huodou bloodline as it breaks through to the Demon Saint realm."

If the Huodou bloodline can break through to the Demon Saint level and create a Huodou clone, it will greatly enhance Wu Tian's strength.

Moreover, since Huodou's bloodline is that of a demon, Bai Qian, the lord of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the Black Mountain Demon will surely take care of him. In addition, with her being the new Wind Goddess, she is more than capable of protecting Huodou during his breakthrough.

With this in mind, she felt she couldn't delay any longer.

Bai Fengxian closed her eyes, and her mind began to return to the lower realm, following her connection with her original self, Wu Tian.

……

In the lower realm, at the ancestral home of the Lu family in the southern border, in the quiet room of Tingzhuxuan.

Bai Fengxian's true form slowly opened her eyes.

She remained in the cross-legged position, but her aura was completely different from before her seclusion. Her skin was fair with a bluish-green luster, like moonlight shining through jade, warm yet cool.

The radiance shines naturally from deep within the skin, making every inch of it appear as if it were carved from the finest jade, delicate, smooth, and without the slightest flaw.

In the depths of her pupils, a pale blue moon-shaped phantom slowly rotated, and as her gaze shifted, it seemed as if all sorts of wind phenomena arose and vanished within it.

Behind him, four divine wheels rotated, with intricate incantations of the twenty-four solar terms flowing around them, each incantation exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Bai Fengxian felt the transformation of her Dharma Body and the three divine abilities that had been separated from it: the Spring Breeze and Rain Blade was delicate and intricate, the Cloud and Rain Covering the Sky Blade was violent and domineering, and the Autumn Wind and White Dew Blade was cold and ruthless...

The sheer number of supernatural powers is not the most important thing. The most crucial thing is that the prototype of the Taiyin Ice Soul Blade was created, which made the four supernatural powers form a complete system, connecting the twenty-four solar terms and touching the passage of time.

This is her true source of strength.

These three supernatural powers cannot suppress time like the Heavenly Pillar, but once they are involved in time, they have their own unique uses.

Leaving aside its unparalleled speed, the mere fact that it can shorten lifespan is enough to make those old-timers wary.

A faint smile played on her lips, a smile as serene and cold as the moon. Breathtakingly beautiful.

"Having ventured into the realm of time, one can cut off one's lifespan with a knife, and with the imperial edict bestowing titles upon one, one has finally established a foothold."

But soon, Bai Fengxian's smile faded, and she looked outside the quiet room.

Countless gazes were directed at the Lu family's ancestral home and even within a thousand miles.

The phenomena she caused during her breakthrough were so great that they not only alarmed the Lu and Bai families, but probably attracted the attention of all the forces in the Southern Frontier.

"It's really troublesome."

Bai Fengxian whispered, her voice clear and cold like the wind and the moon singing. Every word she uttered carried a natural rhythm, as if resonating with the wind and the heavens.

Wu Tian, ​​who had entered the room at some point, glanced at her with a somewhat gloomy expression. "Your breakthrough this time has even alarmed the Heavenly Court. Many immortals and gods have their eyes on you, attracting too much attention. This is not a good thing."

"If Huo Dou's bloodline were to break through to the Demon Saint level at this time, it would likely cause some trouble..."

Bai Fengxian said, "There's no point in delaying any longer. If the Huodou bloodline can achieve the status of a demon saint and create a Huodou clone, it will be of great benefit to us."

"Moreover, since Huodou's bloodline is that of a demon, Bai Qian and the Black Mountain Demon will surely take care of him. In addition, with me, the Wind God, it is more than enough."

Wu Tian was silent for a moment, then said, "You're right. The timing isn't perfect, but we can't wait any longer."

"In this way, as the Wind God, you will spread the news that you have broken through to the True Immortal realm and been appointed as the Wind Mother Yuanjun by the Heavenly Court, and then return to the Bai family to attract everyone's attention."

"I will secretly leave and head to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. After communicating with Bai Qian, I will look for an opportunity to break through in one fell swoop."

"Okay." Bai Fengxian nodded. (End of Chapter)
