Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The azure sky and the Milky Way stretch endlessly, with stars as sand and laws as waves.

The figure of Gouchen Xingjun appeared directly in a very secluded section of the Milky Way, where the undercurrents were turbulent and the starlight was distorted.

He seemed unusually familiar with this place. His gaze was like lightning, piercing through the barriers of starlight and legal principles, and directly locking onto the mysterious place deep in the riverbed, a place that did not exist in the present world and was hidden in the darkness.

There, a figure sat cross-legged.

He was tall and muscular, with muscles that bulged like the roots of an old tree. His skin was bronze, covered with dark red mysterious totems and scars, exuding a strong aura of savagery.

He was the Lord of the Great Sun Palace who was chased by the Fire God and had his face engraved on the image of Yi the Archer, which caused his cultivation to go astray.

He was shirtless, with an unknown animal hide around his waist. His face was rugged and resolute, his eyes were closed, but beneath his eyelids, his eyeballs were rolling violently, and his facial expressions twisted and changed, sometimes painful and ferocious, sometimes cold and aloof, and sometimes confused and empty.

Few people know that the Lord of the Great Sun Palace not only cultivated the legacy of Yi the Great and forged the Dharma Image of Yi the Great, but also possessed the bloodline of Yi the Great, making him a descendant of that ancient demon god.

However, their lineage was not passed down as a noble family, but instead remained hidden in the Fire God Palace, unknown to the world.

Almost all members of aristocratic families know that there is a taboo passed down since ancient times: members of aristocratic families must not cultivate the inheritance of gods and demons, otherwise they will surely suffer unforeseen disasters.

Those with the bloodline of the Bai family's Fengmu cannot cultivate the Daoist tradition passed down by Fengmu; they can only cultivate techniques that tap into the potential of their own bloodline.

Throughout history, many people have defied warnings and defied taboos in their pursuit of greater power, but the results have always been disastrous.

Many ancient families disappeared into the past and were completely erased from history simply because they violated taboos.

However, the Lord of the Great Sun Palace secretly violated the taboo, which is why he was able to survive when Kong Lingxuan was invincible in the world, swept across all directions without equal, and destroyed the Fire God Palace, and gradually cultivated into a true immortal.

Even the Golden-Winged Roc died at his hands.

If he hadn't exposed himself, the world probably wouldn't have known that the ancient Dao artifacts, the Heaven-Shaking Bow and the Sun-Shooting Arrow, had fallen into his hands.

This is a cunning, exceptionally talented, and extremely ambitious tyrant.

But when he inscribed the face of Da Yi on the Dharma Image in order to save his life, his bloodline and heritage were completely intertwined, which eventually led to an unexpected disaster.

At this moment, the Lord of the Great Sun Palace completely merged with the Dharma Image of Da Yi, and the physical body and Dharma Image became indistinguishable, becoming neither human nor ghost, and falling into an extremely frenzied state.

His aura was extremely unstable, sometimes plummeting to the bottom like a mortal, and sometimes soaring up suddenly, unleashing terrifying killing intent and arrow-like power that could reverse the flow of the Milky Way and make stars and grains of sand tremble.

When Gouchen Xingjun saw him, he was not surprised at all, but only felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia or regret) at facing a destined rival.

"Those from noble families cannot cultivate the same divine or demonic lineage... This is an ironclad taboo proven by countless tears and blood since ancient times."

Gouchen Xingjun murmured to himself, his gaze seemingly piercing through the struggling body before him and glimpsing the distant future.

Approximately three hundred years later, the monster before us will have fully merged and become a new being who calls himself Hou Yi.

He is not the legendary Yi from ancient times, who has completely disappeared into the river of time and is no longer in this world.

But Da Yi's power and authority are like a part of the universe, eternally imprinted in the world, operating like the laws of nature and all things.

In fact, many ancient demons who have disappeared, like Yi the Archer, left behind authority and power, which also contained their will.

The Lord of the Great Sun Palace, Mu Taishu, touched a taboo, but by chance, he did not perish. Instead, he lost his own will and merged with the authority and will left behind by Da Yi, creating a completely new personality.

After his birth, this person called himself Hou Yi, retrieved the Heaven-Shaking Bow and the Sun-Shooting Arrow that had fallen into the hands of the Fire Star Lord, and caused the death of Kong Lingxuan's Dharma Image clone.

Kong Lingxuan was furious and fought a great battle with him, but Hou Yi's archery skills were divine, and he wielded the Heaven-Shaking Bow and the Sun-Shooting Arrow, his killing power was overwhelming.

Kong Lingxuan not only failed to gain any advantage, but also suffered losses on both sides.

After this battle, Hou Yi became famous throughout the world.

Moreover, this person grew at an extremely fast pace, and countless immortals, Buddhas, gods, and demons fell under his arrows. In just over a hundred years, he became an extremely terrifying killing god in the Three Realms.

Together with the already matured Gouchen Star Lord, they became the most dazzling beings in the Three Realms.

The two have fought countless times, both openly and secretly, and neither can defeat the other. They are both the most outstanding beings below the Golden Immortal level.

Even gods and demon sages of the same level as the Dragon King of the East Sea could be killed by Gouchen Star Lord with a single sword strike, yet he could never defeat Hou Yi.

"Hou Yi, oh Hou Yi..."

Gouchen Xingjun sighed softly, his tone filled with emotion, but mostly with coldness, "You were a good opponent, but unfortunately, it's better for an opponent to be dead."

He slowly raised the Gouchen Heavenly Sword in his hand, and starlight began to gather again. The sword's edge was aimed at that figure. "I can't let you ruin my father's and my plans again."

Hou Yi is truly terrifying; he is a real freak. Both he and Hou Yi have actually reached some of the realms of Golden Immortals, and even possess some of the characteristics of great beings.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to possess such near-invincible combat power.

"Your existence... will cause immense trouble for Father in the future, perhaps even a fatal threat. For Father's safety, and for him to have the opportunity to cultivate in peace..."

"Today, I can only ask that you perish prematurely."

"For my father's sake, please... die."

The moment the words fell, the Lord of the Great Sun Palace, Mu Taishu, who was hidden in the darkness, seemed to sense a fatal crisis and suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were a mad, scarlet left eye, filled with Mu Taishu's fear and resentment; his right eye was golden and cold, like a hawk before a hunt, containing Da Yi's arrogance and murderous aura.

The two wills unexpectedly reached a strange synergy at the critical moment of life and death.

"Roar!"

He let out an inhuman roar, and his supernatural power condensed into a phantom golden bow in front of him, forcibly drawing the bowstring.

"Buzz! Boom!"

A golden arrow, formed from supernatural powers and magic, tore through the waters of the Milky Way, whistling like the cries of ghosts and gods, and shot straight at Gouchen Xingjun.

Although this arrow lacked the Heaven-Shaking Bow and the Sun-Shooting Arrow itself, it was still terrifying beyond compare, enough to severely injure ordinary immortals.

At the same time, the Great Sun Palace Master's body suddenly swelled, his muscles bulged, and the totems under his skin seemed to come alive, roaming and glowing. The will within him seemed to be completely merging, prematurely evolving into Hou Yi, who would not appear for hundreds of years to come. "A death throes."

Gouchen Xingjun's expression remained unchanged; he simply extended the Gouchen Heavenly Sword in his hand forward gently.

At the tip of the sword, a point of intense purple light shone, then expanded and transformed into a vast star field, enveloping Gouchen Star Lord.

Within the star field, it seemed to form its own world, with the imperial star hanging high and stars scattered throughout, impervious to all laws.

The golden arrow shot into the Ziwei Starfield, its speed suddenly decreased, and the baleful aura and golden light on the arrow were quickly worn down and purified by the imperial aura and the power of order in the starfield, as if it had encountered its nemesis. It did not advance more than ten feet before it completely dissipated and disappeared.

Mu Taishu's chaotic will was extremely frenzied. He roared, and the bloodline and Dharma form in his body, which were already on the verge of fusion, were completely boiled and went berserk under the stimulation of the life-and-death crisis, like being thrown into boiling hot oil.

"boom!"

A malevolent aura, ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than before, erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for millennia.

Hou Yi's body twisted and swelled violently, and the totems on his skin spread and intertwined wildly, eventually forming a complete totem of gods and demons on his chest. This totem was significantly different from the totem of Da Yi.

For gods and demons, totems are symbols of identity and authority. Each totem is unique, much like a mortal's name, or even more special, because it also represents power and authority.

The totem that appeared on Mu Taishu, the master of the Great Sun Palace, was derived from the totem of Yi, but it was distinctly different and had never appeared before.

This is a completely new totem of gods and demons...

Gouchen Xingjun watched all this unfold quietly. He had intentionally allowed the other party's bloodline and Dharma form to merge, and this scene was not beyond his control or expectations.

Seeing the familiar totem appear on the other person's body, he murmured, "It's been a long time, Hou Yi!"

Yes, the reason the other party is called Hou Yi, rather than the ancient Yi, is because the divine and demonic totem on his body has completely transformed into another being.

It was neither the Great Sun Palace Master Mu Taishu, nor the ancient Yi, but a newly born demon god—Hou Yi.

At this moment, the madness in Hou Yi's left eye and the arrogance in his right eye began to forcefully merge, devour, and be reborn, centered on this totem...

"Roar!!!"

A roar, seemingly from the ancient wilderness yet imbued with a newfound will, resounded throughout the Milky Way.

Hou Yi's body stabilized, and although it was still tall, it was no longer twisted, but presented a smooth and perfect sense of power.

The totems on the skin were subdued, transforming into golden patterns.

Those eyes, no longer slit, had transformed into a pure, molten gold-like color, cold, sharp, and indifferent, like a hunter perched high in the sky, looking down upon all living beings.

He came back to life completely.

A terrifying aura that shook the galaxy and made the laws of nature retreat surged into the sky, completely displacing the surrounding celestial waters and creating a huge vacuum zone.

He slowly raised his hand, and the illusory golden bow formed by supernatural power became more solid, with the ancient patterns on the bow even faintly visible.

"That's more like it." Faced with this terrifying change in aura, Gouchen Xingjun was not only not panicked, but a smile appeared in his eyes. "At least I didn't waste my time."

Gouchen Xingjun extended his left hand, his five fingers spread wide.

"town!"

A single, simple word, yet it carries the weight of an imperial edict.

Hou Yi's wildly expanding body suddenly froze, his raging magical power as if bound by invisible shackles, even his thoughts seemed to stop.

Gouchen Xingjun thrust out the Gouchen Heavenly Sword in his right hand, and the dazzling sword light, accompanied by a clear and melodious hum, precisely pierced Hou Yi's brow.

Divine light flowed along the blade.

Hou Yi's entire body, like a weathered sand sculpture, silently turned into the finest dust, starting from his heart, and slowly drifted away and dissolved with the waters of the Milky Way.

In the center of the drifting dust, there was a strange bead, about the size of a pigeon's egg, half gold and half red, with dense incantations floating inside, radiating an incomparably pure bloodline aura and a fierce arrow-like intent.

This bead embodies the essence of Mu Taishu's bloodline and the origin of the Great Yi Dharma Image. However, after undergoing the fusion of his will before his death and the transformation of his bloodline, it is significantly different from the previous Great Yi bloodline.

"You are too weak. You are just a newly born god or demon, and the power within you has just reached the realm of true immortals. So what if you are Hou Yi?"

"Even the Great Sun Celestial Survey Scripture has not yet been created, let alone undergone the test of time and the accumulation of power."

"You're so weak right now, so incredibly weak!"

Gouchen Xingjun reached out and put away the bloodline magic bead, a cryptic smile appearing on his face. "This bloodline magic bead can no longer be considered the Great Yi Magic Bead. To be precise, it would be more appropriate to call it the Hou Yi Magic Bead!"

His eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face. "In the future, Hou Yi comprehended the peerless divine power of the Ten Suns in the Sky. He used his supreme arrow intent to communicate with the laws of heaven and earth, transforming into ten great suns. Each great sun is a dharma avatar, and also his peerless killing arrow."

"Unfortunately, even five hundred years from now, he will only have initially cultivated five great suns, and there is still an extremely long way to go before he can truly patrol the heavens with ten suns."

"But the terror of its supernatural powers is far beyond what ordinary Taoist scriptures can compare to."

"In order to cultivate this unparalleled divine power, Hou Yi deliberately spread the technique. Once someone cultivated the Great Sun Patrol Heaven Dharma Form, he would descend to the mortal world to kill them and then completely devour them, turning them into his own Dao foundation."

"Of the five great suns he cultivated, three were taken from the Great Sun Patrol Form cultivated by other geniuses."

"In order to defeat this person, I also carefully studied his cultivation techniques and was extremely familiar with the Ten-Sun Sky Patrol Scripture."

Gouchen Xingjun looked thoughtful. “The techniques passed down by Hou Yi are flawless. This man was extremely cruel and arrogant. He was confident that even if he passed on the techniques, no one could surpass him. In the end, they could only become resources for his own cultivation.”

After a slight hesitation, a wisp of magical light appeared at his fingertips, and countless dense incantations flowed around, quickly weaving into a pale golden ancient arrow. Within the ancient arrow, it seemed as if a great sun was rising and falling, emitting an incomparably dazzling light.

"I will leave this Taoist scripture, along with that Hou Yi magic bead, to my father, hoping it will be of some use to him."

Gouchen Xingjun fought alongside his father, and although he didn't know much about his father's secrets, he knew that his father had been collecting bloodline beads and the corresponding cultivation techniques.

This trip aims to eliminate Hou Yi before he dies, nipping the danger in the bud. He also hopes to obtain Hou Yi's magic pearl and leave behind the corresponding cultivation technique for his father. This is the only thing he can do now. (End of Chapter)
