Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General's eyes were icy cold. "General, you should know that the Heavenly Court's Water Department has only completely controlled the North Sea."

"The South China Sea and the West China Sea have always been the territories of conflict between the Heavenly Court's Water Department and the Dragon Clan. Now, the Dragon Clan is making a big show of building Dragon Palaces in the South China Sea and the West China Sea. This is simply outrageous."

“If the dragons gain power, I’m afraid my Thunder Department and Water Department will be completely ruined. Not only will we lose our authority, but we will also be at the beck and call of those long worms in the future.”

"This trend must not be allowed to continue. We must join forces to suppress the Dragon Clan."

General Lei's eyes flickered, and he had already made up his mind, but he showed a troubled expression: "General Sha Tong, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's just that..."

"Alas, I am currently at odds with the Golden Light Holy Mother, and even my desire to marry the newly enthroned Wind Mother Yuanjun is being blocked. I'm afraid I can't spare the time."

General Jiutian Sha Tong naturally understood his thoughts and immediately said, "General, there is no need to worry. I can lend you a hand in this matter."

"I can personally intervene to stop the Golden Light Mother, giving the general a chance to achieve his wish."

General Lei was overjoyed: "Really?"

“Absolutely no exaggeration,” said General Nine Heavens Child Killer solemnly.

The two immediately began to discuss it carefully.

General Nine Heavens Killing Child said, "The Dragon Clan currently has four Dragon Kings in the East, South, West, and North. The Eastern King is the Dragon King of the East Sea, the master of the Azure Dragon. His cultivation is unfathomable, and it is said that he has already touched the threshold of the Golden Immortal realm."

"The other three Dragon Kings are respectively known as the Southern Dragon King, the Western Dragon King, and the Northern Dragon King, and their intention to rule the four seas is obvious."

"I recently fought against the Western Dragon King of the Dragon Clan in the Western Sea. The battle ended in a draw. The Western Dragon King has a powerful physical body and great supernatural powers, making him extremely difficult to deal with."

"I am currently unable to deal with the South China Sea. If this drags on, the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea will probably be completed and the dragons will have established a foothold. Then we will be in big trouble."

General Lei Gong pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, we should do this sooner rather than later."

"We must not allow the dragon race to establish dragon palaces in the South China Sea and the West China Sea. We must act as soon as possible."

General Nine Heavens Killing Child nodded: "That's what I think too. But General, what do you plan to do about the matter of the Wind Mother Yuanjun?"

A flash of lightning appeared in General Lei Gong's eyes: "Hesitation will only lead to more trouble. I will now descend to the mortal realm and make a trip to the Bai family."

"If Bai Fengxian dares to disobey, the Bai family will be wiped out immediately!"

General Nine Heavens Killing Child frowned: "General, the Heavenly Court has its own laws and regulations. This is too conspicuous. If it displeases the Heavenly Venerable, it will only cause more trouble."

He paused, pondered, and said, "As far as I know, the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace, Moang, has already landed on land from the South China Sea and is currently in Tonghai County in the Southern Frontier."

"If the Wind Mother Yuanjun still refuses, General, you can use the Dragon Clan to kill her with a borrowed knife."

"Using someone else to do the dirty work?" General Lei asked, puzzled.

“That’s right.” General Nine Heavens Killing Child explained, “As far as I know, the Bai family has already clashed with the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace, Moang. We might as well go with the flow and let that Third Prince of the Dragon Palace break into the inland.”

"That Wind Mother is merely a newly ascended True Immortal; how could she possibly be a match for Moang? If the General seizes the opportunity to intervene, she will surely submit."

"When the time comes, General, you will have a legitimate reason to take action and kill that Third Prince Moang of the Dragon Palace. This will not only earn you merit, but also help you win the heart of your beloved."

General Lei was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Brilliant plan! That would be perfect!"

After the two had reached an agreement, Lei Gong no longer hesitated and immediately said, "There's no time to lose. I'll gather my troops and head down to the Bai family!"

"First, let the Bai family know my attitude. I am certain that Bai Fengxian will not submit. Only in this way can I lure the Dragon Clan into making a move."

His pupils flashed with lightning, and he had made up his mind that even if the Third Prince Moang was unwilling to make a move, he would force him to do so.

……

Southern Xinjiang, Bai family of Fengxian County.

The Bai family was immersed in the immense joy of Bai Fengxian's breakthrough to True Immortal and her investiture by the Heavenly Court. The clansmen were still excitedly discussing it, and many of their faces shone with unprecedented radiance.

However, at noon, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened.

The entire sky seemed to be covered by dark clouds. At first, only dark clouds appeared on the horizon, but in the blink of an eye, the dark clouds spread like a tide, and in just a few breaths, they covered the entire Fengxian County.

"what happened?"

Why did it suddenly get dark?

"Look! In the sky!"

The clansmen all looked up, and then their faces all showed expressions of horror.

Within the dark clouds, countless electric snakes darted about, flashes of lightning appearing and disappearing. At first, they were just fine sparks of electricity, but they quickly coalesced into thick arcs of lightning, rolling and roaring within the clouds.

The thunder gradually transformed from a low, muffled rumble into a deafening explosion, one after another, as if the sky were about to collapse.

What's even more awe-inspiring is that deep within those dark clouds, one can vaguely see layers upon layers of heavenly soldiers and generals, exuding an overwhelming aura of slaughter.

"These are... celestial soldiers and generals!" the Lord of the Taiyin Palace exclaimed in shock. "Gods and immortals have descended! It is a celestial being from the upper realm!"

Before the words were even finished, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly parted to the sides.

"boom!!"

A deafening thunderclap exploded, as if the sky had been torn apart.

A purple lightning bolt, hundreds of feet thick, pierced through the heavens and earth, falling straight down from the ninth heaven and landing precisely above the Bai family's ancestral home.

Strangely, the lightning did not cause any damage.

The moment it landed, the power of lightning converged and condensed, transforming into a divine bridge entirely composed of purple lightning.

The divine bridge is three zhang wide and nine zhang long. The bridge surface is paved with jade bricks formed by lightning, and the bridge railings are carved with patterns of thunder beasts, extending from the ground all the way to the thunder gate in mid-air.

At this moment, the entire Fengxian County was silent.

Everyone stood there, stunned, their minds blank.

The scene of the gods descending was so shocking that it far exceeded their imagination.

Many ordinary people even forgot to breathe, simply staring blankly at the mythical sight in the sky.

"thump!"

It's unclear who was the first to kneel, but then, in a chain reaction, countless humans in Fengxian County knelt down in unison.

Faced with such extraordinary celestial phenomena and divine majesty, mortal cultivators could not control the trembling and awe deep within their hearts, and instinctively prostrated themselves in worship.

Even the entire Bai family territory knelt down in unison.

Even the three main hall masters were no exception.

Only Bai Fengxian and Bai Youhuan beside her remained standing.

Bai Youhuan's face was also pale, and he said with some surprise and uncertainty, "Fengxian, do you know who this deity is who has descended to the mortal realm? I have a feeling that they come with ill intentions."

Bai Fengxian looked up at the thunderous portal in the sky, her face extremely pale. Judging from the sheer force of the thunder, it was clear that it must be the Thunder God.

There could be no other god but this one.

Just then, the sound of synchronized footsteps came from within the Thunder Gate.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each step was like the resounding beat of war drums, echoing the thunder of heaven. Immediately afterwards, an incomparably majestic army marched out from the gate.

The first to appear were three thousand celestial soldiers clad in thunderous armor. Each of these soldiers was eight feet tall, wearing silver-white thunder-patterned armor, and wielding identical divine spears, their tips crackling with lightning and displaying their sharpness.

These heavenly soldiers lined up on both sides of the divine bridge, fifty men in each row, their steps perfectly synchronized. They were expressionless, their gazes were cold and stern, and they exuded a chilling aura.

Three thousand thunder soldiers lined up, their lightning flashing and forming a giant net of thunder covering a radius of ten miles above White Phoenix Mountain. The net slowly rotated, emanating a terrifying pressure.

Following Lei Bing were thirty-six Lei Generals.

Thirty-six thunder generals stood in two rows, guarding both sides of the divine bridge, forming a majestic procession together with three thousand thunder soldiers.

Finally, nine enormous thunder dragons slowly swam out from the portal.

They had reins around their necks and were pulling a carriage.

On the chariot stood a divine general.

It is none other than the Thunder God General of the Nine Heavens!

General Lei Gong stood on the chariot, looking down at Fengxian County below.

He did not deliberately exude pressure, but his divine aura was as deep and vast as the sea, enveloping the heavens and earth, making all mortal cultivators seem as insignificant as ants.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Every member of the Bai family, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a tremor deep within their souls. It was an absolute difference in the level of life, an insurmountable chasm between mortals and immortals.

"Bai Youhuan, the current head of the Bai family—"

Bai Youhuan, leaning on his cane, stepped forward with trembling hands and shouted with all his might, "On behalf of the entire Bai family, we respectfully welcome Your Majesty's arrival."

Her aged voice echoed across the mountaintop, filled with awe.

With this shout, all the tribespeople bowed once more:
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"

The cheers were deafening, but the awe they conveyed far outweighed the joy.

General Lei nodded slightly, his thunderous voice resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

"No gift."

As soon as the words were spoken, the invisible pressure subsided slightly, and the clansmen who were kneeling on the ground felt a weight lift from their shoulders. They all stood up, but still kept their heads down, not daring to look directly at the divine general in the sky.

General Lei Gong's gaze swept over the Bai family members, finally landing on Bai Fengxian. He then announced in a loud voice, "The new True Immortal Fengmu Yuanjun has been appointed by the Heavenly Court. This is a blessing for the Bai family and a joy for the Heavenly Court as well."

"I have come here specifically to offer my congratulations."

His voice was like rolling thunder, yet it carried a strange rhythm, each word seemingly resonating with heaven and earth.

Bai Youhuan quickly bowed: "General's presence is an honor to our humble abode. Please, General, come with us so that we may prepare a simple banquet to express our respect."

This is proper etiquette; when a deity descends, how can one be negligent?

General Lei nodded slightly: "Alright."

As soon as the word was uttered, the thunderous power in the world began to recede.

Three thousand thunder soldiers and thirty-six thunder generals swiftly changed formation, lining up as a ceremonial guard on both sides of the divine bridge. Nine thunder dragons pulled the chariot, slowly lowering it down from the divine bridge and onto the ground.

The moment the chariot landed, the divine light on it flashed slightly, then subsided, becoming ancient and profound. General Lei Gong stepped down from the chariot, and as his feet touched the ground, fine lightning patterns naturally appeared on the bluestone, spreading outwards for three zhang.

"General, please." Bai Youhuan bowed and led the way.

The Bai family members quickly made way, lined up on both sides, bowed their heads, and didn't dare to even breathe loudly.

General Lei Gong strode forward, and with each step he took, tiny sparks of electricity bloomed beneath his feet.

He did not conceal his aura; the vast divine pressure clung to him like a shadow, making all the clansmen who approached him feel breathless and their hearts race.

Bai Fengxian silently followed beside the ancestor, her gaze calm, but her hands in her sleeves were slightly clenched.

The group entered the Fuyou Hall, which had already been hastily decorated.

"General, please take a seat," Bai Youhuan said, bowing.

General Lei nodded slightly, did not refuse, and sat down in the main seat without hesitation.

As the celestial being took his seat, Bai Fengxian and Bai Youhuan sat on the left and right sides respectively, while the three hall masters and five pavilion masters took their seats in turn, and the rest of the clansmen stood outside the hall, holding their breath.

Soon, Bai family maids filed in carrying jade platters, placing various delicacies, rare fruits, and exquisite wines on the table.

Although it cannot compare to the celestial nectar, it is the highest standard that the Bai family can offer.

"General, you have come from afar. The Bai family has made hasty preparations. If there has been any negligence, please forgive us," Bai Youhuan said, raising his cup in a toast.

General Lei raised the jade cup, and fine electric sparks appeared in the celestial wine inside, a result of the natural permeation of his thunderous power.

He took a small sip and said calmly, "It's alright."

The banquet began, but the atmosphere remained somber.

The Bai family members ate cautiously, not daring to make the slightest noise. All their attention was focused on General Lei.

After several rounds of drinks, General Lei put down his jade cup and turned his gaze to Bai Fengxian.

"Fengmu Yuanjun." His voice echoed in the hall, "You should understand my feelings for you. I have come here for this reason."

Everyone in the hall tensed up, putting down their cups and chopsticks and holding their breath.

Bai Fengxian frowned slightly. "I am devoted to the Dao. General Lei, please say no more."

General Lei Gong's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he slowly said, "Since I took charge of the Thunder Department, I have been diligent and conscientious, and have not dared to slack off in the slightest."

"Upon seeing the beauty of the Primordial Lady, I was astonished by her divine grace. Moreover, our paths are aligned, and with the ancient Thunder Goddess and the Primordial Lady of the Moon Wind Mother as our role models, this can truly be called a match made in heaven."

He stood up, his voice echoing like thunder in the hall: "I was a little rushed before and neglected the beauty."

"Therefore, I, the general, have come to the Feng Hou clan's territory today to propose marriage, in order to show my sincerity."

"If the Primordial Lord agrees, you and I will become the True Gods of Wind and Thunder. After our marriage, we can continue the ancient legend. At that time, wind and electricity will be unified, and our powers will be combined. This will not only greatly benefit our cultivation but also bring blessings to the Three Realms, resulting in immeasurable merit!"

After he finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

The entire Bai family was stunned.

They never expected that General Lei Gong's personal visit was to propose marriage. Moreover, it was to Bai Fengxian, who had just broken through to the True Immortal realm and received an official title from the Heavenly Court.

After a brief silence, whispers began:
"General Lei Gong...is proposing to Yuan Jun?"

"My God! This is an incredible opportunity!"

"If I could marry General Lei, my Bai family would rise to the top in one fell swoop!"

"A divine couple, a perfect match of wind and thunder... This is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of!"

The vast majority of the clansmen wore expressions of excitement and elation. In their eyes, this was an opportunity that the Bai family had only once in a thousand years.

General Lei Gong is a righteous god of the Heavenly Court, in charge of the Thunder Department, and wields immense power. If the Bai family could form a marriage alliance with him, they would not only gain a divine backer, but also have the potential to join the ranks of the Heavenly Court's prestigious families.

Even the three hall masters and five pavilion masters showed joy on their faces and exchanged glances, clearly agreeing with the matter.

Only Bai Youhuan frowned slightly, glancing at Bai Fengxian beside him. (End of Chapter)
