Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Villages disappeared, towns vanished, farmland became silt at the bottom of the river, and mountains were leveled.

In less than half an hour, the entire Tonghai County was transformed into a vast ocean, with a depth generally exceeding one hundred feet and reaching three hundred feet in the deepest part.

Countless wreckage and corpses floated on the surface of the water, but were quickly swallowed up by the subsequent surge of seawater.

This isn't over yet...

The Dragon King of the East Sea had icy pupils, and his dragon claw pressed down again.

"Land roads pave the way, waterways connect the vast mountains."

Behind him, eight dragons soared into the sky. These eight dragons were the most skilled at splitting mountains and breaking rocks, and opening up waterways.

At this moment, the eight dragons plunged into the vast ocean and then moved towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"Om!!"

The earth began to shake violently.

Starting from the western border of Tonghai County, the ground appeared to have been torn apart by an invisible giant hand, creating a massive ravine about ten miles wide. The ravine stretched westward, cutting straight towards the Ten Thousand Mountains.

This is a waterway opened up by eight dragons using their supernatural powers.

Starting from Tonghai County, which has been transformed into a vast ocean, it stretches continuously towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Under the influence of supernatural power, the soil and rocks on both sides of the ravine became as smooth as a mirror, and the bottom of the ravine was compacted to the extreme, almost turning into a diamond.

"Whoosh!"

The newly formed ocean in Tonghai County, as if it had found a flood outlet, transformed into a raging torrent, surging into the newly opened ditches and waterways.

From a distance, it looks as if a long river has suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the earth, rushing inland with towering waves hundreds of feet high, rolling towards the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Wherever the waterway passed, torrential rain poured down for miles on both sides, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Countless lives fled, but none could escape the fate of being swept away by the flood.

The Dragon King of the East Sea flew slowly above the waterway, accompanied by 100,000 naval troops riding the waves.

The dragons, in this most domineering and tyrannical way, forcibly carved out a waterway from the East Sea to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Such extraordinary power, capable of overturning rivers and seas, is nothing more than this!
……

Ten Thousand Mountains, the Palace of Immortality.

Bai Qian sat reclining on the throne.

She was not wearing palace attire today, but instead had donned a set of silver-white soft armor suitable for combat.

The soft armor clung to her body, outlining its breathtaking curves, yet covering her vital areas with fine scales. Her long silver hair was secured with a simple jade hairpin, revealing her slender, fair neck.

She held a sheathed longsword in her hand. The sheath was simple, with only two ancient incantations engraved on it—Taiyi.

Bai Qian gazed at the sky outside the palace. It had been clear there, but now dark clouds were faintly drifting in from the east, and the air was becoming increasingly humid.

She naturally noticed the commotion caused by the Dragon King of the East Sea, and her eyes were now deep and mysterious, as if she were thinking about something.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

"mother!"

A figure rushed into the main hall.

The newcomer was eight feet tall, with a robust and powerful physique. His muscles were like cast iron, and his slightly ferocious dog head and bushy white tail inspired awe.

It was Bai Qian's son, Bai Yaochen.

He was dressed in a dark black outfit, with a cloak over it, the edges of which were inlaid with gold patterns.

At this moment, Bai Yaochen was in a hurry. Deep in his pupils, a faint golden halo slowly rotated, with countless fine runes appearing and disappearing within the halo. Even now, the halo had not yet dissipated.

This is precisely his supernatural power, his all-seeing eye, which can see through falsehoods and illuminate the future.

Although it cannot reach beings at the level of Golden Immortals, and the future that can be glimpsed will change once those beings intervene, it is still a terrifying supernatural power involving time, with endless mysteries.

At this moment, the golden halo in Bai Yaochen's eyes spun rapidly, and his face was full of anxiety: "Mother, let's go, leave with me now."

"If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Bai Qian slowly turned her head to look at her son, her expression calm: "Chen'er, what are you doing?"

Bai Yaochen said anxiously, "I used my supernatural powers to discover that the Dragon King of the East Sea is personally leading 100,000 naval troops to flood Tonghai County, open up land and waterways, and is heading towards the 100,000 Mountains."

He spoke very quickly, “If you stay any longer, Mother, I’m afraid you’ll die. Mother, please come with me.”

Bai Qian was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head: "If I leave, what will happen to the demons of the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

"The Dragon Clan of the East Sea has come in a rage. Unable to find the culprit, they will surely take their anger out on the entire Ten Thousand Mountains. At that time, hundreds of millions of demons in the mountains will be slaughtered."

She stood up, and the Taiyi Sword naturally unsheathed itself three inches, its cold light illuminating her aloof face: "This calamity was caused by me. How could I bear to run away like this?"

Bai Yaochen stamped his foot anxiously: "Mother! The trouble was caused by that golden crow, what does it have to do with you? You have already done more than enough to protect him."

"Besides, even if you stay here, what can you do? The Dragon King of the East Sea is a top-tier being among the immortals, with more than a dozen true dragons under his command, and he has also brought a hundred thousand naval troops with him on this trip."

"Your staying is nothing but a pointless death! What good will it do?"

Bai Qian remained silent, but tightened her grip on the sword even more.

She knew her son was right.

He was merely a demon god, not even having condensed the Heavenly Stars, and his stars were only supported by the third heaven. How could he withstand the full force of the East Sea Dragon King?
Staying means certain death.

but……

She looked out of the palace, her gaze seemingly piercing through the palace walls, seeing countless demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the demon king who depended on the Undying Palace for survival.

If I just leave, they will all die.

"Chen'er," Bai Qian's voice was very soft, "Today's disaster, though not my intention, was caused by me."

"If I were to leave now, I would find no peace of mind."

Bai Yaochen's eyes reddened: "But Mother..."

"There's no need to say anything more," Bai Qian interrupted him. "Leave the Ten Thousand Mountains immediately. You are now the Dao Child of Taiqing, and this matter will not involve you. Leave quickly."

Bai Yaochen bared his canine teeth slightly, stared at Bai Qian for a long time, then took a step forward, knelt down on both knees, and the golden halo in his eyes spun wildly.

"Mother, if you don't leave, I won't leave either!"

"We'll go together, we'll die together."

"At worst, we can die together, mother and son, so that I won't be left all alone and suffering in this world after you die."

"Chen'er!" Bai Qian frowned involuntarily. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

“I’m serious.” Bai Yaochen’s gaze was as firm as iron. “Since I can’t persuade Mother, I’ll just die with you. My life was given to me by Mother.”

“If you die, I will never live on alone.” “I would rather go to the Yellow Springs with my mother today than be a coward who clings to life.”

The mother and son looked at each other, and the hall fell silent.

Looking at her son's stubborn eyes, Bai Qian felt both touched and helpless. She was about to speak.

Just then...

"Boom!"

A deafening roar, like muffled thunder, echoed from the eastern horizon.

The entire Undying Palace began to tremble slightly, and dust fell from the top of the palace.

Bai Qian and Bai Yaochen both turned to look outside the palace.

In the eastern sky, dark clouds had already covered half of the heavens.

Lightning crackled wildly in the dark clouds, and torrential rain poured down. Even more terrifying, a mighty river, its turbid waves surging from the earth, was causing mountains to collapse and trees to crumble in its wake.

On the great river, 100,000 naval troops rode the waves, their menacing aura condensing into gray-black smoke.

At the forefront of the Milky Way, a golden dragon soars with its head held high, its dragon might as powerful as a prison, enveloping the surrounding land.

……

The commotion caused by the Dragon King of the East Sea had already alarmed the entire Heavenly Court. Many immortals and gods could no longer sit still and turned their gazes through the nine heavens toward the Southern Frontier.

Even many immortals and gods are paying attention to the movements of the Thunder Department and the Water Department.

The dragon race has always been kept in check by the Water Department. Now, the dragon race has broken the tacit understanding between the human and dragon races because the Dragon King went ashore and flooded an entire prefecture. He even forcibly opened up waterways and marched towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

This is tantamount to humiliating the Heavenly Court's Water Department. If the Water Department cannot intervene, it will likely lose all face after today.

In addition, there is the Thunder Department, which controls wind, rain, thunder, and heavenly punishment. It wields immense power. The Dragon Clan's current actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for the Heavenly Court. According to the Heavenly Rules, the Thunder Department is also implicated.

Therefore, many celestial beings in the Heavenly Court are closely watching the actions of the Water Department and the Thunder Department. Other celestial beings cannot directly intervene in this matter without an imperial decree.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Thunder Department was in complete chaos.

The Thunder Department's Divine Firmament Palace is the place where the Thunder Department holds its assemblies.

At this moment, all the gods and immortals of the Thunder Department were present in the main hall, including General Thunder God, Heavenly Lord of Lightning, Wind God, Cloud Official, Thunder Messenger, and so on, standing according to their ranks.

At the very top of the main hall are four thrones.

Those are the four divine positions that wield the power over wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

However, the Rain Master has not yet returned to his position, and the Wind Mother has not returned from the southern border. At this time, only the Thunder God General and the Lightning Goddess Heavenly Lord are in office.

At this moment, a precious mirror floats in the center of the hall, revealing the scene of the lower realm. The Dragon King of the East Sea floods Tonghai County, opens up land and waterways, and a hundred thousand naval troops march towards the Ten Thousand Mountains. All of this is under the watchful eyes of the gods.

Within the precious mirror, a raging flood raged, causing immense suffering and destruction. Tonghai County was instantly transformed into a vast ocean, and the sight of countless souls wailing and perishing caused many of the righteous gods in the hall to turn ashen-faced and spit fire in their eyes.

"Outrageous! Outrageous!"

With a red face and a bushy beard, and wearing thunder-patterned armor, Thunder God roared, "How dare the old dragon of the East Sea act like this, disregarding the rules of heaven and slaughtering living beings like weeds! General Thunder God, please quickly send the heavenly soldiers of the Thunder Department to the mortal realm to capture this fiend and uphold the majesty of heaven!"

“Indeed.” Another divine general in charge of rainmaking stepped forward, his voice heavy with sorrow: “What have the eight million lives of Tonghai County done to deserve this annihilation? Our Thunder Department is in charge of heavenly punishment and regulates the wind and rain. How can we sit idly by and watch the dragon race commit such a heaven-defying act? This humble general is willing to be the vanguard and descend to the mortal realm to stop their atrocities.”

"The general is also willing to go!"

"Please, General, send troops!"

The crowd inside the hall was filled with righteous indignation, especially the divine generals and celestial officials who were of human origin or had deep ties to the mortal realm. They were filled with righteous indignation and volunteered to fight.

The Dragon Clan's actions were not only a massacre of living beings, but also a trampling of the Heavenly Court's authority and its rules.

On the right throne, the Golden Light Mother was surrounded by crackling lightning. She looked at the scene in the mirror and listened to the roars of her colleagues. The coldness in her eyes grew stronger.

Finally, she stood up abruptly, her voice like thunder, drowning out the noise in the hall: "Quiet down!"

All the gods turned their gazes toward her.

The Golden Light Holy Mother's phoenix eyes were filled with murderous intent as she pointed directly at the Dragon King of the East Sea in the precious mirror, saying slowly and deliberately, "The Dragon King of the East Sea flooded a prefecture, slaughtered millions, forcibly opened waterways, and disturbed the earth's veins, causing widespread suffering."

"Such behavior is extremely arrogant, violates the rules of Heaven, and disregards the Heavenly Court. According to the law, he should be executed!"

Her gaze swept over the gods in the hall, her tone resolute: "If my Thunder Department hesitates any longer, what will become of the Heavenly Court's reputation? What will become of its dignity?"

"I will now muster my thunder soldiers and lightning generals, send them down to the mortal realm, capture the Dragon King of the East Sea, imprison his dragon soul, and escort him to the Execution Platform to uphold the heavenly rules!"

Having said that, she turned around and was about to order the mobilization of troops.

"Wait a minute!"

General Lei Gong's voice, as loud as a bell, echoed throughout the hall, stopping the Golden Light Mother's actions.

"You've all filtered it out. The Dragon King of the East Sea was heartbroken at the loss of his son, and his actions were inevitably excessive. But the root cause is that the Golden Crow Demon slaughtered the Dragon Palace Prince in front of him, pulled out his tendons and stole the pearl. This is an irreconcilable hatred."

"It is understandable that the Dragon King is angry."

His gaze swept over the gods in the hall: "In my opinion, this matter is a private grudge between the Dragon Clan and that Golden Crow Demon. As long as the Dragon King finds the culprit and vents his hatred, he will naturally withdraw."

"At this time, the allied forces of the Northwest Demon God Path and the Buddhist Path are engaged in fierce fighting. It is not advisable for our Heavenly Court to have any further conflicts with the Dragon Clan. We should prioritize the overall situation and observe the situation calmly."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Golden Light Mother let out a cold laugh.

"What a brilliant idea to wait and see!"

The Holy Mother of Golden Light suddenly rose to her feet, her purple robes fluttering without wind, and crackling lightning all around her.

Her phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent as she stared directly at General Lei Gong. "Lei Gong! For your own selfish reasons, you disregard the suffering of living beings and the rules of heaven. You are a shameless scoundrel, unworthy of being a heavenly general."

"The Dragon King of the East Sea flooded an entire prefecture, turning eight million people of Tonghai Prefecture into fish and turtles in an instant. Such heinous crimes deserve to be punished according to the laws of Heaven."

"Our Thunder Department is in charge of the Heavenly Court's punishments, and also has the authority to regulate wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and to shape the weather of heaven and earth. The Dragon Clan's wanton behavior has violated the Heavenly Rules, and our Thunder Department must stop them."

"Yet you're spouting nonsense here, talking about personal grudges and what's reasonable?"

Her voice suddenly rose, booming like thunder: "Do you think all living beings in the Three Realms are blind? Who doesn't know that you harbor resentment because Fengmu Yuanjun Bai Fengxian was unwilling to marry you, and you wanted to use the Dragon Clan to force her?"

Such behavior is utterly disgusting!

"You!" General Lei Gong's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot when his thoughts were exposed in public, and lightning surged around him. "Golden Light Holy Mother! Don't you dare to make false accusations. Everything I have said and done is for the sake of the Heavenly Court."

"What a fine 'grand scheme'!" Golden Light Saint Mother sneered. "Your grand scheme is to sit idly by and watch the Dragon Clan slaughter all living beings, then force the Wind Mother Yuanjun into a corner, and finally have no choice but to bow down to you, is that it?"

"Utterly shameless!"

She stopped looking at General Lei and turned to face the gods in the hall, proclaiming loudly, "Fellow colleagues, the Heavenly Rules cannot be abolished, and the common people cannot be abandoned. Today the Dragon Clan dares to flood a prefecture, tomorrow they will dare to flood a state. If this continues, where will the majesty of the Heavenly Court be? Where will the order of the Three Realms remain?"

"I, Jin Guang, will descend to the mortal realm today to uphold the heavenly rules and subdue the Dragon King!"

"Those who wish to follow me, stand behind me!" (End of Chapter)
