Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The fourth heaven, the Azure Heaven.

The starlight surged like a river, and the starlight's malevolent energy, interwoven with various laws, splashed like waves. However, at this moment, this celestial palace was torn apart beyond recognition by two completely different and vast forces.

On one side, a five-clawed golden dragon roared, its dragon might as powerful as a prison, carrying the immense water-based divine power to overturn rivers and seas and overturn the heavens. Wherever the dragon's claws passed, the azure sky was torn apart, the Milky Way evaporated, revealing the dark and cold void behind it.

On the other side was the majestic Black Mountain Dharma Image, as imposing as an ancient divine mountain, adorned in imperial robes and crowns, with yin and yang energies circulating around it, manifesting strange phenomena of human cities and the underworld.

The black and white divine light slowly rotated like a millstone, completely engulfing and eroding the raging dragon's might and sharp claws.

The strange phenomenon of the Black Mountain Underworld pressed down heavily, carrying the great majesty of suppressing Yin and Yang and ruling over life and death, which even made Prince Moang's thousand-foot-tall dragon body feel sluggish and cold.

"Old ghost, how dare you!" Moang roared, his dragon eyes bloodshot. He, the dignified Crown Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace and the future Dragon King, was actually stopped by a self-taught Tai Sui Star Lord. What face did he have left?

The dragon opened its mouth wide and spat out a dragon pearl as bright white as the sun.

The Dragon Ball contained the power of the four seas, was incredibly heavy, and was also wrapped in endless water essence and lightning. Wherever it passed, the void collapsed layer by layer, and it crashed into the Black Mountain Dharma Image with the momentum to crush everything.

The Black Mountain Demon's expression was solemn. The ancient seal in his left hand flew up, and the eight ancient seal characters "Tai Sui Zhen Sha, Tong She Yin Yang" shone brightly.

At the same time, the strange phenomenon of the Black Mountain Underworld floating behind his head suddenly expanded, and countless ghostly soldiers chanted in unison, heading straight for the dragon pearl.

"Boom!"

An indescribable roar exploded in the fourth heaven, as if a huge wound had been torn open in the sky of the Azure Heaven, and a terrifying celestial river storm swept up and down in all directions.

If this place weren't already deep within the heavens, I fear the vast lands and rivers of the lower realm would have been reduced to nothing.

"Amitabha."

Just then, a peaceful yet immense Buddhist chant came from the heavens, instantly drowning out all the roars and howls.

A pure, vast, and immeasurably bright Buddha's light descended from the higher heavens, instantly illuminating the chaotic blue sky with splendor.

Amidst the Buddha's light, a twelve-tiered lotus platform slowly descended. Upon the platform, the Bodhisattva Dingguang appeared solemn and dignified, with a halo behind his head that seemed to contain the rising and falling of the sun and moon.

Two Arhats, Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger, stood on either side of him. Their golden bodies shone with boundless light, merging with the Buddha's light, creating an awe-inspiring and sacred aura that could not be looked at directly.

Under the Buddha's radiant light, the raging Milky Way was silently calmed. The dragon's might of Moang and the malevolent aura of Black Mountain, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, quickly melted away.

"Dingguang Bodhisattva?!" Moanglong's eyes narrowed, and he was secretly shocked.

This Bodhisattva is the head of the Fire Department of the Heavenly Court, with a high status and unfathomable magical power. How could he suddenly descend to this place?

The Black Mountain Demon was deeply shaken, his fingers clenching slightly beneath his imperial robes. Dingguang Bodhisattva! This was a true ancient being, seeking to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

"This fiend possesses the extraordinary destiny of the Great Sun and is destined to join our Buddhist sect. It should enter the Buddhist sect." Bodhisattva Dingguang's gaze was peaceful as he spoke, his eyes falling on the increasingly intense golden light of the raging fire deep within the fourth heaven.

There seemed to be a star rapidly taking shape, and within the star, the outline of a three-legged divine bird was faintly outlined, exuding a noble, ancient, and domineering will over all fire.

Dingguang Bodhisattva raised the white jade and red gold precious fan in his hand and gently fanned himself.

In an instant, Buddhist fire surged out from the precious fan like a waterfall, containing the meaning of Buddhist annihilation. Wherever it passed, even the void seemed to be coated with a layer of gold leaf.

This seemingly casual gesture caused both the Black Mountain Demon and Prince Moang to feel a chill run down their spines, slowing their movements.

"Bodhisattva, wait!"

Just at this critical moment, a clear and melodious cry resounded through the heavens, and a dazzling five-colored divine light arrived first, blocking the path of the Buddhist fire.

The divine light faded, revealing Kong Lingxuan's handsome and alluring figure.

His crimson feathered robe was magnificent and dazzling, fluttering and rustling even without wind.

"Kong Lingxuan?" Dingguang Bodhisattva paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "You want to stop me?"

"He is a junior of the Undying Palace, so of course I must protect him." Kong Lingxuan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a five-colored divine light flowed in her eyes. Her voice was cold and clear.

"For the Bodhisattva to take such ruthless measures without even asking what happened is far too domineering. As the Palace Master, how can I sit idly by?"

“Overbearing?” Dingguang Bodhisattva shook his head slightly, his appearance solemn. “This demon has the image of the great sun. If he does not enter the orthodox sect of Buddhism, he will surely become a source of chaos in the future.”

"Now that you have entered the Heavenly Court, you should know the will of Heaven. Step aside, lest you ruin your own life."

"The will of Heaven?" Kong Lingxuan's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I wonder when your Fire Department came to represent the will of Heaven? Or is it that even your Buddha is afraid of the Golden Crow?"

Dingguang Bodhisattva sternly rebuked, "Kong Lingxuan, stop talking nonsense!"

"Hahaha, did I hit a nerve? You Buddhist sects are truly hypocritical, pretending to be virtuous even when you're being prostitutes. You can't even tolerate a mere Golden Crow, yet you dare to take charge of the Fire Department and call yourselves the Great Sun?"

Kong Lingxuan laughed loudly, and suddenly five mighty, heaven-and-earth-filling divine lights rose up behind him.

The five colors—green, yellow, red, black, and white—swirled and swept towards the Buddhist fire and the three Bodhisattvas behind it.

His Fire God form is currently deep within the Nine Heavens, but this time he has descended to the mortal realm in his true form.

"You audacious fiend!" The Arhat Subduing Dragon roared, taking the first step forward. His golden body erupted with brilliant Buddhist light, and the golden sutra rings on his wrists jingled as he threw a punch.

This punch contained the supreme power to subdue the true dragon. The fist imprint transformed into a solid, imprinted, and powerful celestial dragon with distinct scales, roaring as it crashed into the five-colored divine light.

At the same time, the Arhat Subduing Tiger also made his move. The white tiger lying beside him surged into the sky with murderous aura, merging with his own body and transforming into a winged divine tiger with wings on its back and black wind under its feet. The tiger's claws tore through the void, carrying a monstrous aura of ferocity, and pounced on Kong Lingxuan's flank.

"Even a grain of rice can shine?" Kong Lingxuan sneered, and with a thought, the five-colored divine light swirled slightly.

The mighty and unparalleled Great Heavenly Dragon vanished without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing into the azure divine light.

The ferocious, winged black tiger Dharma image was instantly frozen upon being illuminated by the yellow divine light, as if suppressed by the boundless earth, unable to move. Then, it was swept away by the crimson divine light, its ferocious aura dissolving and the Dharma image collapsing. The Tiger-Taming Arhat groaned and staggered back several steps, his face filled with horror.

In a single exchange, the two renowned Arhats were nearly swept away by the five-colored divine light.

Dingguang Bodhisattva finally revealed a solemn look in his eyes: "What a magnificent Five-Colored Divine Light! You possess the virtue of fire and are versed in the mysteries of the Five Elements, able to transform Yin and Yang. No wonder you were able to make such a great name back then; your reputation is truly well-deserved."

"However, Kong Lingxuan, you should understand what the Golden Crow represents. Do you really want to become an enemy of Buddhism for the sake of a Golden Crow?"

"Enough with the nonsense!" Kong Lingxuan stood proudly in the void, five-colored divine light rising and falling behind him, displaying a magnificent and ever-changing aura. "With me here today, no one can touch him."

Dingguang Bodhisattva said no more, and softly uttered a Buddhist chant. The twelve-petaled lotus platform beneath him shone brightly, and the precious fan in his hand waved continuously.

This time, it wasn't just the Buddha's fire, but immeasurable light, immeasurable heat, and immeasurable chanting that intertwined to form a golden Buddhist Pure Land, which pressed down on Kong Lingxuan.

Within this pure land, there seem to be countless phantoms of monks, arhats, and bodhisattvas chanting scriptures. Each scripture transforms into golden Buddha light, meant to suppress and purify everything.

Kong Lingxuan let out a long roar, and the five-colored divine light behind him surged wildly, intertwining and evolving to faintly form five divine mountains, which resisted the illusory image of the Buddhist Pure Land that was being suppressed.

The five-colored rays of light collided and annihilated with the Buddha's light, emitting a roar that made the entire fourth heaven tremble.

On the other side, Prince Moang and the Black Mountain Demon both avoided each other, not daring to approach the battlefield between the great demon saint and the Buddhist bodhisattva.

"Old ghost, with the Bodhisattva personally taking action, that hairy beast's life is sealed! You still dare to stop me?" Moang grinned maliciously, his dragon body swirling around. The arrival of the Bodhisattva Dingguang greatly boosted his confidence. The Black Mountain Demon's face was gloomy as he rapidly weighed his options.

The fact that Bodhisattva Dingguang personally arrived clearly reveals the Buddhist intentions.

But to leave like this is truly unacceptable, as they will remain isolated and powerless in the Heavenly Court in the future.

More importantly, he vaguely sensed that the golden crow's aura was undergoing a transformation at an astonishing speed.

Perhaps if we just hold them off for a moment longer, we can succeed.

"Let's give him a hand. As for whether he can survive in the hands of Buddhism after his breakthrough, that's up to him."

The Black Mountain Demon made his decision, activating the Tai Sui Ancient Seal, and the Yin and Yang energies surged forth once more. "Moang, say no more."

"With me here today, you won't succeed."

"You're courting death!" Moang roared in fury, and the dragon ball shot up, transforming into an ocean that collided violently with the Black Mountain Underworld once again.

Further in the sky, the battle between the Thunder God and the Lightning Goddess had reached a fever pitch. The Thunder God held the Golden Light Holy Mother tightly, preventing her from escaping.

Since both were at the same level of immortals, even the Golden Light Holy Mother was unable to escape for the time being.

Bai Fengxian and Bai Qian stood side by side, gazing at the sky.

The entire Fourth Heaven has been transformed into a battlefield where multiple factions are engaged in chaotic warfare.

The Buddha's light and the five-colored divine light competed for brilliance, the Black Mountain and the Dragon Pearl collided... The void shattered and then healed, the Milky Way was in turmoil, a scene of apocalypse.

"Subduing dragons and tigers—if we don't act now, when will we?"

While maintaining the Pure Land, the Bodhisattva Dingguang also managed to divert his mind to transmit the voices of the Arhats Subduing Dragons and Tigers.

The two Arhats, Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger, immediately understood.

They were previously intimidated by Kong Lingxuan's five-colored divine light, but now that Kong Lingxuan is being fully restrained by the Bodhisattva, it is the best time to strike at the heart of the enemy.

The two Arhats exchanged a glance and instantly reached a tacit understanding.

The Arhat Subduing Dragon roared with the mighty heavenly dragon around him, and suddenly transformed into a golden light. He no longer paid attention to the main battlefield, but rushed straight towards the monster that was still constantly swallowing the Milky Way and evolving stars.

The Arhat Subduing Tiger followed closely behind, his body transforming into a black wind, his malevolent aura concealed, and his speed increasing by three times.

"not good!"

Bai Fengxian and Bai Qian, who had been closely watching the battle, both changed color at the same time.

"Stop them!" Bai Fengxian gritted her teeth, her body radiating immortal light, her figure transforming into a streak of azure light that tore through the sky, blocking the path of the Dragon-Subduing Arhat as he charged forward.

Behind her, the winds of the four seasons converged, and the intent of the sword arose spontaneously.

Without hesitation, Bai Qian unleashed the full power of the Taibai Dividing Light Sword, merging her body with the sword to transform into a long, incomparably sharp, and infinitely divided river of cold sword light. Though somewhat immature, it carried an unwavering determination as it faced the menacing Fuhu Arhat.

"A mere fairy dares to block your path? She's courting death!"

When the Arhat Subduing Dragon saw that the one blocking his way was Bai Fengxian, he snorted coldly, clenched his fists which seemed to be forged from gold and iron, and the golden rings of scriptures on his wrists shone brightly as he threw a punch.

This punch, seemingly simple, contains the pure power to subdue a true dragon and the indestructible will of Buddhism.

Wherever the fist passed, the void let out a mournful cry of unbearable pressure. Before the powerful force of the fist even reached her body, it had already caused most of the immortal light around Bai Fengxian to dissipate.

Bai Fengxian felt unprecedented pressure and unleashed all three of her divine abilities without hesitation.

"Like a spring breeze and gentle rain!"

The blade flashed in a delicate, intertwined pattern, seemingly weak, yet it was all-pervasive, attempting to entangle, penetrate, and dissolve the unparalleled power of the Arhat Fist.

"Clouds and rain cover the sky!"

Then, the second slash was unleashed, and the momentum of the blade suddenly changed, transforming from a light drizzle into dark clouds obscuring the sun, a violent storm, and flashes of lightning and thunder.

The blade light expanded instantly, transforming into a sky full of leaden clouds and howling rain, like a thick curtain of wind and water. Thunder and lightning exploded in the clouds and rain, standing between her and the Arhat Subduing Dragon.

"Autumn wind and white dew!"

The third strike followed immediately, the intent of the strike changing again, turning into a desolate and chilling aura.

The glint of the blade carried a chilling aura that could wither all things, causing the starlight of the surrounding Milky Way to freeze.

When these three supernatural powers descended, the principles of law intertwined, and the Daoist rhythm of the changing seasons and the passage of time was faintly present, thus greatly increasing their power.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Arhat Subduing Dragon. He had not expected that the newly promoted True Immortal's swordsmanship would be so exquisite, perfectly in sync with the times, and progressing step by step.

He shouted in a low voice: "Arhat Golden Body, Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

The golden light around him intensified, his fist stance remained unchanged, and the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon coiled around his arm, forcefully confronting the three great divine powers.

The fists and palms clashed with the blade, producing a deafening sound like metal striking metal.

Bai Fengxian let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. She retreated rapidly, her divine sword light forcibly dispersed by the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.

As the leader of the Eighteen Arhats, the Arhat Subduing Dragon fought against immortals many years ago without being at a disadvantage. Although it is unknown why he has not yet broken through to the Bodhisattva realm, his combat power is absolutely unquestionable.

Even with her exquisite swordsmanship, she could only barely parry and was instantly at a disadvantage. She could only rely on the principles of time and space contained in her swordsmanship to maneuver and barely stop this person.

On the other hand, Bai Qian's situation was even more dangerous.

"You monster, how dare you stop me?"

The Arhat Subduing Tiger sneered. Facing the myriad streams of Taibai sword light, he simply raised his arm, which was tattooed with a winged black tiger, and grabbed at the air.

"Roar!" A deafening tiger's roar seemed to echo in the void, and a huge tiger claw, formed purely from ferocious energy, appeared out of thin air. Its five fingers were as thick as mountains, carrying a ferocious aura that could tear apart the soul, and it fiercely grabbed at the river of sword light.

"Split light into shadow, sword shines across the starry river!"

Bai Qian shouted, pushing the Taibai Dividing Light Sword to its limit. Countless sword lights surged like a galaxy, attempting to shatter the tiger's claw.

However, the difference between a demon god and an arhat is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

After all, she was merely a fiend who had lifted Venus to the third heaven; she wasn't even a star god who had condensed the Heavenly Gang Star. How could she possibly contend with an Arhat?!

With just a slight tremor of the tiger's claw, terrifying and malevolent energy surged forth like a tidal wave. The myriad sword lights that Bai Qian had created shattered and vanished like waves crashing against rocks.

"puff!"

Bai Qian was struck as if by a heavy blow; the river of sword light instantly collapsed, revealing her true form. Her face was ashen, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, staining her clothes crimson. (End of Chapter)
