Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Wu Tian glanced at the system panel and frowned.

Each of these three options is unique, but each contains a fatal flaw.

The first option, the God of Mars, although it appears sacred and powerful, is said to be the most powerful god or demon below the innate gods and demons.

However, being unable to transcend the limits of Mars, the Mars God is destined to be unable to become a Golden Immortal or a Primordial God or Demon comparable to a Golden Immortal.

A demon god whose power ceiling is only at the level of a god will eventually be replaced.

"However... my strength has stagnated, and I need a long time to accumulate before I can make a breakthrough."

"In other words, for a long time to come, it will be difficult for me to possess god-level strength and abilities. If I can become the God of Mars, I will be able to make up for the gap in strength during this period."

"The God of Mars stands at the forefront. As the strongest being below the Golden Immortal level, he can pave the way for my other avatars and manifestations."

Wu Tian's mind raced. The biggest feature of the option "Mars God" was that it could draw power from the past to the authority of Mars until it reached its peak, allowing the ancient Mars to return to the Ninth Heaven.

In other words, he can acquire top-tier divine combat power in the shortest amount of time...

"As for the second option, the Golden-Winged Roc, it is undoubtedly an excellent choice in terms of bloodline, potential, and connections."

"If I could become a Golden-Winged Roc, even if I wasn't Kong Lingxuan's brother from the same mother, I could still gain his favor and support, not to mention the power of the Phoenix lineage."

He didn't believe that the Phoenix lineage only had the Undying Palace as its inheritance. As an existence that could rival the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix lineage was far more complex than that.

"However... the key point is that becoming a Golden-Winged Roc will attract the attention of a certain ancient being, who must be a Golden Immortal."

To be honest, he really didn't want to have any more karmic entanglements with those ancient beings hidden in the past. His previous entanglement with the Great Sun Buddha had already made him extremely wary of those ancient powerful beings.

"But if I can get the support of that being after becoming the Golden-Winged Roc, and with Kong Lingxuan by my side, I can act freely and legitimately to seize power and status in the Heavenly Court, and target and suppress the Dragon Clan."

"However... if we're talking about the nobility of bloodlines, the most precious of these three options should be the Golden Crow bloodline..."

The moment Wu Tian saw this option, he couldn't help but feel excited, but his expression quickly turned gloomy. He thought of that being and felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart, making it hard to breathe.

"The Golden Crow bloodline is indeed noble. You must know that the two ancient stars, Taiyin and Taiyang, are completely beyond the Nine Heavens. These two ancient stars do not exist in the Zhou Tian star system. They are magnificent beings whose status is comparable to innate gods and demons and golden immortals."

"Furthermore, due to the special significance of the two ancient stars, Taiyin and Taiyang, in the Three Realms, their status is even slightly higher than that of innate gods and demons and Golden Immortals..."

"The Golden Crow is the son of the sun, and its status is already infinitely close to that of a primordial god or demon. If I could become the Golden Crow, then my chances of becoming a Golden Immortal would immediately increase by several notches."

In that instant, Wu Tian even thought that he could first seek the position of the Pleiades Star Lord or the Sun Wanderer, then covet the Sun Star Lord, and when the time was right, he could seize the position of the Heavenly Emperor and be honored as Haotian.

Can……

That's easier said than done!
Leaving aside the Heaven-Shaking Bow and the Sun-Shooting Arrow, as well as the karmic entanglement with the lineage of Yi the Great, the Great Sun Buddha alone is an existence he cannot bypass.

That person reincarnated several times, from Amitabha Buddha to Dipankara Buddha, and then cultivated himself into the present Vairocana Buddha.

The title "Great Sun" is not something to be used casually!

Using the power of the Great Sun and the position of the Heavenly Venerable of Mount Sumeru, his intention to seek the position of the ruler of the Heavenly Court is quite obvious...

Once he becomes the Golden Crow, he will inevitably face suppression from Buddhism and the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha. Of course, the most likely scenario is that he will be directly suppressed and converted, becoming the merit and supernatural power of that Great Sun Tathagata Buddha.

If one of the golden crows were to be converted by that being, the title of Great Sun Tathagata would be even more justified.

Each of the three options had its advantages and disadvantages, and Wu Tian frowned, finding it difficult to make a decision. This was a crucial moment for him to break through to the Demon Saint realm, and he could not afford to delay.

After only a moment's hesitation, he sighed and had an idea in mind.

"It's nothing more than a dharma avatar. If it doesn't even have the courage to face the Great Sun Tathagata directly, then how can it contend with him?"

"With such an opportunity as the Golden Crow bloodline before me, if I hesitate to move forward because of the threat from the Great Sun Tathagata, I would truly become a laughing stock."

"If you don't take what Heaven offers, you will suffer the consequences..."

"Without a Dao heart that is unwavering and willing to die a hundred times without regret, and only knowing how to hide like a rat in a gutter, when will one be able to attain the Golden Immortal Dao, and how can one even talk about destroying the Tathagata?!"

Once he had this thought, he no longer hesitated.

"System, select the third option: Golden Crow Bloodline."

As Wu Tian thought this, the inner core within his body, which was already covered in cracks and resembled a burning furnace, trembled violently and then exploded.

"Boom!"

The inner core, which carried the bloodline of Huodou, the authority of Yinghuo, and the seed of the divine power of the Golden Eyes of Illumination, completely transformed into an endless stream of crimson-gold light containing countless incantations.

At the same time, his enormous body of the Fiend also disintegrated inch by inch, transforming into the purest and most intense flames.

In an instant, the cliff where Wu Tian stood was transformed into a sea of ​​light and a kingdom of fire. The raging flames did not scorch anything; instead, they carried a sacred and ancient aura, imbued with countless incantations, and soared into the sky.

"Wow!"

A clear, high-pitched cry of a crow, seemingly coming from the very end of ancient times, suddenly resounded deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

At this moment, countless creatures in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, whether they were ignorant wild beasts or cultivated demons, all felt something and involuntarily looked up at the sky.

The pillar of light, formed from pure flames and endless incantations, was incredibly thick, reaching from the sky to the earth. It illuminated the still-dim sky with a brilliant and dazzling light, as if daylight had arrived early, or as if a great sun was about to rise from the mountains.

Within the pillar of light, billions of golden incantations swirled, danced, collided, and recombined as if they possessed life, emitting a resounding Daoist chant.

"Buzz!"

The beam of light pierced through the first heaven without any hindrance. The turbulent void calmed and dissipated the moment it touched the beam of fire, as if it dared not desecrate this sacred radiance.

Next came the second heaven, where the tide of laws surged in, but was absorbed and merged by the pillar of light like rivers flowing into the sea, making its radiance even brighter and the incantations flowing more mysteriously.

In the third heaven, the pervasive starlight and malevolent energy dissipated before the flames, as if encountering a born monarch.

In the blink of an eye, the pillar of flame, carrying endless incantations and Wu Tian's will, broke through three layers of chaotic heavens with unstoppable force, reaching the legendary Middle Three Heavens—the Azure Heaven.

The Middle Three Heavens is called the Azure Heaven, the place where the Heavenly Star hangs in the sky. The stars in the heavens naturally evolve into the Milky Way, also known as the Heavenly River. The ancient saying "reaching the Azure Heaven and descending to the Yellow Springs" refers to this Heavenly River.

The stars in the Milky Way are the mud and sand, and the starlight and laws are the river water. The source is traced back to the Upper Three Heavens, and finally the mud and sand flow down into the Lower Three Heavens.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky, with stars as sand. The starlight and laws converge to form a boundless and dazzling river, sweeping away everything. Even true immortals would be submerged in the Milky Way if they were not careful.

Just as the pillar of flame shot into the azure sky and touched the vast celestial river...

"Whoosh...!" The once calmly flowing Milky Way suddenly boiled over. The boundless starlight river water seemed to sense a huge threat and attraction, stirring up towering waves that crashed fiercely against the pillar of fire.

The stars floating in the Milky Way also unleashed a strong repulsive force, and layers of starlight laws formed an invisible barrier, blocking their way.

The beam of flame suddenly stopped, its upward momentum thwarted.

Inside the pillar of light, the speed at which the billions of incantations circulated and reorganized suddenly accelerated, bursting forth with even stronger light and Dao sounds, fiercely confronting and eroding each other's power against the power of the Milky Way.

"In the end, our savings are still a little insufficient..."

A sudden realization flashed through Wu Tian's mind. His accumulation of Huo Dou bloodline was originally insufficient. Normally, being able to break through to the second level and adorn the stars in the second level would already be considered quite good.

Even breaking through to the third level is extremely difficult.

But now, after merging with the Seed of the Golden Eye Divine Power, it has transformed into the Golden Crow Bloodline, sweeping through the three heavens with unstoppable force, even breaking through the shackles of the lower three heavens, and directly rushing into the Azure Heaven.

Unfortunately, the Golden Crow bloodline was subtly suppressed by the Heavenly River. Although it wasn't exactly a complete restraint, his foundation was still shallow, and it was already quite good that he could remain in the fourth heaven.

Wu Tian didn't ask for more; this was more than enough.

Just as the power of the Milky Way surged and rushed towards its own golden pillar of fire, the pillar of fire that stretched from the sky to the earth suddenly collapsed and condensed inward.

The endless flames and countless profound incantations began to transform and refine amidst the waves of the Milky Way and the boundless starlight, adorning the stars in the fourth heaven and becoming star gods comparable to true immortals.

……

As Wu Tian transformed into a pillar of flame, it surged into the Azure Sky and fiercely clashed with the power of the Heavenly River. In that instant, the entire sky of the Southern Frontier underwent astonishing changes.

The darkness before dawn was completely dispelled, and the entire sky seemed to be set ablaze, presenting a magnificent and spectacular scene.

Centered on the cliffs deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, layers of firelight spread outwards like ripples, weaving into a giant halo in the sky.

At the center of the halo, a golden pillar of fire, reaching from the sky to the earth, pierced through the heavens and entered the fourth heaven.

On the surface of the pillar of fire, countless profound incantations moved, collided, and recombined like living things, emitting a resounding Daoist sound.

"Buzz—Screech—"

Amidst the roaring flames, the faint, ancient, and clear cry of a crow echoed from the far reaches of time, as if it had traveled from the very end of history.

With each cry of a crow, the temperature in southern Xinjiang rises by a degree, and in many places, vegetation spontaneously combusts without fire, while wisps of white steam rise from the surface of rivers and lakes.

This earth-shattering phenomenon instantly shook the entire southern border region.

In the Bai family of Fengxian County, Bai Youhuan, who had just finished his morning lessons, rushed out of the ancestral home leaning on his cane. Looking up at the sky, his cloudy old eyes were filled with horror: "This...this is someone breaking through to the Demon Saint level? No, that's not right...how could an ordinary Demon Saint break through with such power?"

In the Lu family of Wuling County, Lu Nanxi stood outside Tingzhu Pavilion, staring blankly at the golden pillar of fire that pierced the sky and earth in the southern sky.

Although her cultivation level wasn't top-tier, she could still sense that sacred and ancient aura, and a strange tremor welled up in her heart.

"Husband..." she murmured to herself, for some reason connecting this strange phenomenon with Wu Tian's instructions before his departure.

Countless cultivators from the major families and sects of the Southern Frontier rushed out of their secluded cultivation places, looked up at the sky, and discussed among themselves:

"Who broke through? This is making such a big commotion!"

"Judging from the direction, it's deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains... Could it be that another Great Sage has emerged from the demon race?"

Countless divine senses rose from all over the southern border, cautiously probing into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, attempting to uncover the truth.

However, the intense light and heat around the golden pillar of fire formed a natural barrier, burning away any divine sense that approached even slightly, making it impossible to penetrate.

At the same time, ordinary people throughout southern Xinjiang were also alarmed by this extraordinary phenomenon. Although they did not understand cultivation, they could feel the sacred aura, and many people involuntarily knelt down and kowtowed, believing that a god had descended.

The demons in the Ten Thousand Mountains reacted even more fiercely.

Countless demonic beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing and worshipping in the direction of the golden pillar of fire. It was a reverence that came from the depths of their blood, an instinctive submission to the sun.

The entire southern border region was thrown into an unprecedented upheaval by the extraordinary phenomenon of the golden crow's birth.

Tonghai County, the Dragon Clan's Palace.

It was early morning, but the main hall at the deepest part of the palace was still brightly lit, and the sounds of string and wind instruments could be heard continuously.

The feast has not yet ended, and the music continues.

On the throne, the Third Prince Moang lazily enjoyed the mermaids' song and dance, toying with a luminous cup in his hand.

Suddenly, his expression hardened, and he crushed the wine glass in his hand with a "crack"!

An indescribable feeling of palpitation gripped his heart without warning, as if he were being targeted by a natural enemy, or as if a catastrophe was about to befall him.

This kind of fear, which came from the depths of his blood, was something he had never experienced in his life!

"Your Highness?" His Highness and the generals were astonished.

Moang suddenly stood up, stepped out of the hall, and looked up.

In the southern sky, a dazzling golden pillar of fire pierced through the clouds, the void around the pillar distorted, and one could even vaguely see a great sun setting into the Milky Way in the far distance, stirring up a strange phenomenon of raging waves.

"This is... someone breaking through to the Demon Saint realm?!"

Moang's pupils shrank to pinpoints, his handsome face instantly turning ashen, and his dragon aura spread uncontrollably, almost suffocating the generals behind him.

He stared intently at the golden pillar of fire, feeling the increasingly powerful and unsettling heat emanating from it, his heart pounding wildly.

"Who is it? Who is breaking through to the Demon Saint realm? What bloodline does this person possess to have such power!"

As a true dragon, he was extremely sensitive to the bloodlines of various demons.

The phenomena caused by this breakthrough far exceeded those of ordinary demon saints, even making this true dragon feel instinctively panicked and threatened.

"A creature that can even make this Crown Prince feel threatened is truly a scourge."

Moang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "No matter who you are, no matter what bloodline you have, you are already destined to die."

With a thought in his mind, his body transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky, speeding towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

His icy voice echoed through the air: "You guard the palace; without my orders, you are not to move!" (End of Chapter)
