Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The Jade Claw Dragon's eyes seemed to shimmer with tears; in both his past and present lives, he had mostly had to rely on himself.

Others can rely on their parents or family background.

Just like Moang, the third prince of the Dragon Palace, who has the Dragon King of the East Sea as his father to rely on.

In this world of immortals and heroes, if you beat up the young ones, you'll offend the old ones.

Each of them has various backgrounds and powerful backers.

But what about him...?

Starting as an ordinary white dog, it was eventually forced to devour its own offspring, faked its death to escape, and then transformed back into a yellow-skinned stray dog.

Who can understand that feeling of being lost, homeless, and disoriented?

At this moment, in the waters protected by the light of Mars, while contemplating the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), Wu Tian suddenly felt a sense of calm, as if the sky were falling.

Even if the sky were to collapse, Mars were to shatter, and the Buddha were to strike down with his palm, he felt he could face it calmly.

My mind found a peace I had never known before.

This is not merely the effect of visualizing the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), but rather the result of his years of cultivation and many trials. Now, visualizing the Ruyi Jingu Bang is like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing his Daoist heart to transform and enter a new stage.

A mind that is unmoved and steadfast remains undisturbed even when the sky collapses.

With this mindset, which can be called the Vajra Mind or Bodhi Mind in Buddhism, one can attain the position of Acala Bodhisattva.

In Taoism, one can be described as having transcended emotions, with a heart as free as idle clouds and a mind as free as flowing water.

Although different people and different methods of cultivating the mind will produce different characteristics of the Dao mind, they are all at the same level, which means that the mind has reached a point where it is extraordinary and transcends the mundane, or even becomes a saint.

Even if one is a mortal, with such a mind, one can become an immortal in a single thought, or attain enlightenment and become a Buddha in a single thought. Even in the degenerate age, one can become a great Confucian scholar or a sage, or a Taoist master or a living Buddha.

"I have a bright pearl, which has long been locked away by worldly troubles."

"Today, the dust has settled and the light shines forth, illuminating countless mountains and rivers."

Wu Tian couldn't help but burst into song, the dragon's roar reverberating in the Milky Way, stirring up ripples and waves.

Meanwhile, the Ruyi Jingu Bang that he was visualizing in his mind shone brightly, and in a trance, it seemed as if golden lotuses were blooming and auspicious energy was soaring into the sky, appearing as a divine treasure of immortals and a rare treasure that could suppress the sea.

"The Ruyi Jingu Bang..."

Wu Tian silently recited these five words in his heart, feeling as if he had found his closest companion and support. From now on, as long as it was with him, he would never be afraid or back down.

With something to rely on, one can...act lawlessly!
He knew that all methods of cultivating the mind had drawbacks; going too far was as bad as not going far enough, and it was easy to fall into the state of enlightenment.

If one transcends emotions, it is easy to cultivate a state of being devoid of feelings and desires.

If the enlightened king remains unmoved, he may very well become apathetic, sitting high above on his lotus throne, looking down upon all living beings.

The calm and focused state of mind cultivated by the Ruyi Jingu Bang can easily lead to arrogance, ignorance, and fearlessness, ultimately causing immense disaster and putting oneself in danger.

Refining the mind is never a simple matter, and the Dao mind is not eternally unchanging.

In Buddhism, there is a saying that one can become a Buddha in a single thought and a demon in another. There are also stories of Arhats and Bodhisattvas abandoning Buddhism and becoming demons.

Taoism has also produced many unorthodox and unorthodox practices.

Even the monkey in the myth, after causing a great disaster, was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain for hundreds of years, and its sharp edges were worn down.

But Wu Tian didn't care at this moment...

He went from being a helpless stray dog ​​to where he is today, experiencing the loss of his wife and children, the destruction of his family, and the hardships of wandering and the survival of the fittest.

Today I finally achieved this goal, and I feel... exhilarated!
With the dragon pearl in his mouth, Wu Tian visualized the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) and followed the method in "The True Method of the Divine Treasures of the Sea" to swallow and spit out the dragon pearl.

As time slowly passed, the golden dragon pearl began to slowly release the purest essence of true dragon bloodline and magical power.

The Jade Claw Flood Dragon swallowed these wisps of essence into its body and began to temper its dragon body and nourish its bloodline according to the profound method of the "Illustrated True Method of the Divine Treasures of the Sea". At the same time, it visualized the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) to temper its form and spirit.

The first step in this true method is chanting mantras, which corresponds to foundation building.

The second level of visualization is comparable to the Taoist practice of cultivating qi.

The third level of Dharma meaning corresponds to the realm of casting the tripod.

The fourth level of the Ruyi Talisman corresponds to the realm of refining techniques.

In three days, Wu Tian condensed 13,500 spells into his mind.

Over five days, he visualized the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

Then... with a single thought of enlightenment, the golden cudgel shone brightly, and he comprehended the meaning of the law, transforming his Dao heart.

Now, having absorbed the essence of the Dragon Pearl, he began his cultivation of the fourth level of the Refining Technique Realm.

This realm is essentially about reorganizing and refining the visualized Ruyi Jingu Bang, combining its 13,500 mantras and weaving them together at a deeper level, making it even more profound and in accordance with the laws of nature.

For Wu Tian, ​​this was an exceptionally simple form of cultivation.

His cultivation was so profound that, with his superior understanding, all his spiritual practice came naturally.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magical staff) visualized in one's mind shimmered with golden light, filled with incantations, and continuously emitted a buzzing sound.

As time passed, a faint golden light began to appear on the Jade Claw Flood Dragon's fine blue scales, and its aura became thicker, more solid, and longer at a visible speed, steadily advancing towards a higher level.

……

While Wu Tian was peacefully hiding in the Yinghuo Star Palace, cultivating in seclusion.

During this time, the Dragon King of the East Sea rushed into the Azure Heavenly River, rampaging wildly and searching for the aura of the Golden Crow at all costs, stirring up monstrous waves wherever he went.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar that shook the entire Fourth Heaven, the Dragon King of the East Sea, though not fully revealing his true form, caused the Milky Way in this area to swirl and stars and sand to be scattered in all directions as if caught in a storm.

"You wretched creature, get out here and face me!"

The roar of the Dragon King of the East Sea transformed into raging waves in the Milky Way, sweeping across all directions. His dragon eyes shone with divine light that pierced through the nine heavens, like the finest net or a raging plow, wildly sweeping and churning across the vast and boundless Milky Way.

Wherever it passed, the stellar energy turbulence was forcibly smoothed out, only to instantly stir up even more violent vortexes, with some meteorites even being directly shattered into dust.

Although he could not find the Mars Palace, he possessed a secret technique of the Dragon Clan that allowed him to quickly pinpoint the aura left behind by the Golden Crow and the area where it ultimately disappeared, thus allowing him to locate the approximate area of ​​the Mars Palace.

In the past few days, disregarding the depletion of his magical power, he forcibly created a Daoist temple within the starlight of the Milky Way, where raging waves and lightning constantly impacted and squeezed the surrounding starry river.

However, no matter how rampant he was, turning the Milky Way upside down and even attracting the attention of some ancient creatures lurking deep within it, he still couldn't detect even the slightest trace of the Golden Crow's aura.

The ferocious bird seemed to vanish completely into the starlight the instant it plunged into the Milky Way, leaving no trace.

The golden crow seemed to vanish directly into the Milky Way, leaving no trace behind; it disappeared completely.

The Dragon King of the East Sea swept his gaze over and over again, his anger almost setting the Milky Way ablaze.

But there was nothing, absolutely nothing...

The Golden Crow's methods of concealment exceeded his expectations.

Although he was the Dragon King and had progressed far beyond the realm of immortals, even able to influence the Milky Way to some extent with the help of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, he was not Marshal Tianpeng after all. To accurately find a being whose aura had been completely concealed amidst the endless starlight and infinite laws was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Time passed slowly, and the Dragon King of the East Sea's patience was worn away by the pain of losing his son and the frustration of his fruitless search.

That overwhelming rage, initially violent, gradually subsided and transformed into a colder, more chilling killing intent.

"Very well, very well. Since you've escaped, none of the people connected to you will escape."

The Dragon King of the East Sea ceased his pointless search, and his massive dragon head slowly turned, his pupils gazing down at the mortal realm.

"That bitch from the Undying Palace of the Ten Thousand Mountains, that wicked Black Mountain Demon, that vile Wind Mother, and Kong Lingxuan, the Golden Light Holy Mother..."

He recited the names of those who appeared on the battlefield of Biluotian and were connected with Jinwu. With each name he recited, his killing intent intensified.

"You all deserve to die..." "I will make you all be buried with my son!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon King of the East Sea suddenly swung his enormous dragon head, bursting out of the surging Milky Way and rushing towards the East Sea in the lower realm.

……

The Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

The Dragon King of the East Sea plunged headlong into the sky, stirring up towering waves. Every scale on his body was shimmering with golden light, and his eyes, when they opened and closed, displayed the rising tides of the four seas, as well as boundless rage.

"By my decree—"

The sound spread throughout the East Sea, shaking the entire Dragon Palace.

"Beat the drums! Gather the troops!"

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

Deep in the East China Sea, nine war drums forged from the shells of ancient giant turtles sounded simultaneously. The drumbeats were deep and resonant, each strike causing the seawater to surge and countless sea creatures to tremble at the sound.

"Whoosh!!!"

Immediately afterwards, the Golden Horn was sounded, its mournful and tragic sound piercing through the vast sea.

Throughout the East China Sea, columns of water shot into the sky.

The seventy-two demon kings of the East Sea Palace, the three hundred and sixty-five patrol yakshas, ​​and the tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals all revealed their true forms and converged towards the Crystal Palace.

Even more, a true dragon awakened from the deep sea, soaring into the sky, its dragon might connecting with the heavens and earth, causing chaos in the East China Sea.

Within half a day, 100,000 naval troops had already gathered outside the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

The battle formation was imposing, and the aura of killing intent was palpable.

The Dragon King of the East Sea emerged from the waves, his ten-thousand-foot-long dragon body fully unfurled, each scale the size of a house, shimmering with golden light. His head was held high, his horns forked like ancient trees, and his whiskers fluttered in the wind.

His body was naturally surrounded by a water-blue divine light formed from the power of the four seas, and behind his head hung a fist-sized, yet heavy as the four seas, Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

“A golden crow emerged from the southern border, and right before my eyes, it killed my son Moang, skinned him alive, tore off his head, and seized the dragon pearl.”

"This hatred is irreconcilable."

"Today, I will send troops to the southern border, flood the land, and annihilate the demon clan of the Undying Palace in the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"I will make sure that all the murderers who killed my son die without ever being buried."

"You all follow me and kill!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea roared angrily, his ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon body stirring up monstrous waves. With his roar, dark clouds covered the entire sky above the East Sea, and countless bolts of lightning exploded in the clouds, thunder raged, and thunder rumbled.

The towering waves merged with the dark clouds in the sky, and tens of thousands of aquatic creatures, their scales gleaming, wielding swords, spears, and halberds, exuded a murderous aura, creating an atmosphere of utter desolation.

This scene was incredibly horrifying, and it almost instantly alarmed the Heavenly Court. Countless immortals and gods looked down from the heavens towards the Eastern Sea below.

"I will obey the Dragon King's decree!"

One hundred thousand naval troops responded in unison, the sound waves creating countless cracks in the seabed.

"Boom!!"

The East China Sea was covered by thick, leaden clouds.

The Dragon King of the East Sea, with his ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon body, broke through the sea surface, soared into the sky, and caused a terrible storm to rise over the surrounding thousand-mile sea area.

One hundred thousand naval troops emerged from the waves and formed battle formations on the sea.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals each took their positions, while the dragon coiled in the sky. The entire army's fierce aura condensed into gray-black smoke, soaring straight into the heavens and staining the dark clouds with a menacing color.

The massive army marched forth, its waves towering high, rolling towards the southern border.

About half a day later, the Dragon King of the East Sea led an army of 100,000 to the South Sea and stopped at the coast of Tonghai County.

"Today, the southern border is flooded. I will make you feel the pain to your very skin, and I will make you, the ants of the human race, pay with your lives for my son."

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his dragon mouth and spat out a pearl that was entirely blue, with rolling waves inside and divine light flowing through it.

It was through his cultivation of the "True Method of the Illustrated Explanation of the Divine Treasures of the Sea" that he cultivated the divine treasure, the Divine Treasures of the Sea, from the Dragon Pearl.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl slowly rose into the sky, casting down boundless radiance.

"rise!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea pressed down with his dragon claw.

"Splash!"

The seawater in the entire South China Sea began to surge and rise wildly, centered on the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

Hundred zhang... Thousand zhang... Three thousand zhang...

Half an hour later, a ring-shaped tsunami, three thousand feet high and hundreds of miles wide, suddenly appeared on the edge of the South China Sea.

The tsunami stands like a cliff on the sea surface, its outer wall a towering, raging wave, containing a terrifying dragon's might.

"go."

The Dragon King of the East Sea flicked his tail.

"boom!"

The tsunami erupted with a deafening roar, transforming into a terrifying wave that stretched three hundred miles wide and over a thousand feet high, crashing down towards Tonghai County like a tidal wave.

Wherever the waves passed, torrential rain poured down from the sky, each drop of rain as heavy as a lead bullet, leaving a deep crater upon impact with the ground.

Lightning bolts danced wildly in the dark clouds, and thunder rumbled, as if the heavens and earth were enraged.

A hurricane then forms, whipping up seawater to create countless towering tornadoes that clear a path ahead of the waves.

……

Tonghai County, located on the coast.

The villagers are still working in the fields, and the fishermen are hauling in their nets.

Suddenly, someone pointed towards the East China Sea, their face deathly pale: "What...what is that?"

At the horizon, a white line rapidly expands.

After a few breaths, the white line turned into a white wall of water.

A moment later, the wall of water had grown to a height of a thousand feet, blocking out the sky and the sun, as if the heavens had collapsed, and was crushing down on the land!

"Tsunami! Run!"

"Oh my god!"

The people fled in terror, but how could human speed outpace the tsunami propelled by supernatural powers?

Boom!!!

A thousand-foot-high wall of water crashed violently against the coastline of Tonghai County.

City walls, houses, trees, hills...

The moment it touched the seawater, it wasn't swept away, but rather crushed into dust by the heavy, mercury-like water. The waves didn't stop at all, continuing their advance inland without slowing down.

The three-hundred-mile-wide waves surged along the coast of Tonghai County.

Everything in its path was submerged and crushed. (End of Chapter)
