Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

West Sea Dragon Palace

Carrying the still ferocious dragon head of the Overturning Sea King, whose broken neck was covered with congealed demonic blood, Wu Tian broke through the dark and deep waters of the West Sea and sped toward the Divine Dragon Palace.

The deeper one ventures into the ocean, the thinner the light becomes; the sea should be pitch black at this moment. Yet, ahead, a soft and magnificent light faintly shines through, illuminating a vast expanse of seabed plain.

Upon closer inspection, the view suddenly opened up.

Before them appeared a vast underwater palace built atop an enormous underwater mountain range. The entire palace was a warm, jade-white color, radiating a stable and gentle glow that illuminated the surrounding hundreds of miles of sea.

The main body of the mountain range is sculpted into the shape of a coiled, sleeping dragon, with its head held high, facing the deep sea, and its body winding, forming the base and main building complex of the palace.

This is the origin of the name "Shenlong Palace"—it itself is like an ancient divine dragon guarding the West Sea.

The palace's main gate opens into the gaping maw of a dragon.

The dragon's mouth was hundreds of feet high, and two rows of jade-white dragon teeth, like mountain peaks, formed natural doorposts. Each dragon tooth was carved with intricate and ancient incantations and auspicious cloud patterns.

Above the lintel, the three large characters "Divine Dragon Palace" are written in ancient dragon incantations, each stroke seemingly flowing with golden light, exuding a natural Taoist charm.

In front of the gate was an extremely spacious square, smooth as a mirror, reflecting the palace's radiance and the swimming spirit fish.

At this moment, the Dragon Palace navy, fully armed and in good condition, stood in neat rows in the square. Shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and powerful shark warriors stood in their respective ranks, exuding a fierce aura.

As soon as Wu Tian arrived at the square in front of the palace gate, the heavy palace gate slowly opened.

The first to emerge was Princess Moyuqiong. Today, she had changed into a magnificent palace dress, her long, azure hair was styled in a high bun and adorned with pearls and jade, and her exquisite face was radiant under the palace lanterns.

Two people followed half a step behind her.

The man on the left, with a burly, mountain-like figure, is none other than the Dragon Turtle Li Xuanba. He is clad in heavy Xuan Turtle armor, with a calm expression and deep gaze.

The one on the right has a peculiar appearance: a human body with a fish head, a pair of broad and powerful fleshy wings on its back, skin covered with fine blue scales, and holding a chilling three-pronged steel fork.

His eyes were round and bulging, and his mouth was naturally grinning as if he were smiling. He was none other than the ancient remnant species - the Divine Kun General.

As for General Huanglong, he was nowhere to be found.

"Husband!" When Mo Yuqiong saw Wu Tian return safely, carrying the head of the Overturning Sea Demon, the last trace of worry in her eyes disappeared, replaced by pure joy and admiration. She quickly went to greet him.

Behind her, led by Dragon Turtle Li Xuanba and General Shenkun, all the naval soldiers in the square knelt on one knee in unison, their voices like thunder, shaking the seabed: "Welcome back in triumph, Your Highness! Your Majesty's divine might!"

The shouts of thousands of people converged, causing the water to tremble slightly, creating an astonishing scene.

Wu Tian casually handed the Dragon Head of the Overturning Sea to a crab general who came forward, indicating that it should be hung outside the palace gate to deter villains. Then he quickly stepped forward, helped Mo Yuqiong up, and said gently, "Qiong'er, I'm back. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Mo Yuqiong carefully examined him, and seeing that he was breathing steadily, dressed neatly, and indeed unharmed, she was completely relieved. Her eyes shimmered with tears as she whispered, "It's good that you're back... I heard you fought fiercely all the way, and I was so worried..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Tian gently pulled her into his arms, and she heard his smiling whisper in her ear: "What are you afraid of? If your husband can defeat him once, he can take his life."

The two embraced, and even in full view of everyone, there was a tenderness and tacit understanding that no one else could penetrate.

Watching from afar, Dragon Turtle Li Xuanba stroked his beard and nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. The son-in-law chosen by the Dragon King was not only powerful and courageous, but also a truly rare talent.

General Shenkun laughed heartily, his voice booming: "Your Highness is truly remarkable. I have also fought against that Sea-Overturning Mud Loach. Relying on his thick skin and tough flesh as a demonic dragon, he is first-rate at escaping. Although I can defeat him, I cannot keep him alive."

"I never imagined that Your Highness would be able to pursue him for thousands of miles and take his head."

"I admire you, I admire you! If there is an opportunity in the future, I would be grateful if Your Highness would be so kind as to teach me, so that I may also experience the power of Your Highness's magic staff!"

He was outspoken and eager to fight, clearly a combative person.

Wu Tian released Mo Yuqiong, cupped his hands to General Shenkun and smiled, "General, you flatter me. It was just a fluke. If you are willing to spar, General, I will be waiting for you anytime."

After saying this, he said to Li Xuanba and the soldiers, "Please rise, everyone. The safety of Shenlong Palace in the future will depend on your concerted efforts."

"We are willing to die for the Crown Prince and Princess!" the crowd shouted again, their voices echoing throughout the underwater palace.

Surrounded by the crowd, Wu Tian, ​​holding Mo Yuqiong's hand, stepped into the gate of the Divine Dragon Palace.

Inside the door is an extremely wide, upward-extending corridor with a high ceiling. The walls on both sides are neither gold nor stone, but resemble jade or crystal, inlaid with countless pearls, corals, and crystals of different sizes, emitting soft light of various colors.

The light, cleverly refracted, illuminated the entire corridor, making it bright yet not dazzling, with a shimmering glow. Underfoot were smooth, mirror-like, jet-black stone slabs, with faint, flowing cloud-like patterns.

Along both sides of the corridor, every few feet there stood a pair of gleaming armored dragon-man guards holding halberds, their auras refined and powerful.

Further away, corridors connect archways leading to different side halls and pavilions. Faintly, one can hear the murmuring of flowing water and the melodious sounds of string and wind instruments coming from the depths.

After walking about a hundred paces, the corridor suddenly opens up, leading to an incredibly magnificent plaza in front of the palace.

Around the plaza stand eighteen massive, golden pillars, arranged in a specific orientation, forming a protective barrier around the entire Dragon Palace.

Crossing the square, you will reach the main hall of the Divine Dragon Palace.

At this moment, a grand welcoming banquet had been prepared in the hall according to the arrangements of the dragon turtle Li Xuanba. Exquisite delicacies filled the jade table, and the aroma of spiritual fruits and immortal wines filled the air. Moreover, graceful clam maidens and mermaid maidens moved about serving wine.

Besides Mo Yuqiong, Wu Tian, ​​Li Xuanba, and Shen Kun, the banquet was also attended by the main generals and managers of various departments of the Divine Dragon Palace, such as the commander of the Sea Patrol Yaksha, the garrison general, the warehouse manager, the ceremonial official, and so on. There were dozens of people, all of whom were core high-ranking officials of the Divine Dragon Palace.

As the banquet began, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince on his triumphant return from vanquishing the demon. Praises poured in, and the atmosphere gradually became more enthusiastic.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is awe-inspiring and has accomplished such a great feat upon arriving in the Western Sea. It is truly a blessing for our Divine Dragon Palace!"

"Your Highness the Princess and Your Highness the Crown Prince are truly a match made in heaven, a golden couple, a perfect union!"

"With His Highness the Crown Prince in charge, what is there to worry about in the Western Sea? Those demons and monsters will certainly not dare to act recklessly again!" Mo Yuqiong felt sweet and shy as she listened to everyone praising Wu Tian and mentioning the two of them together. She couldn't help but drink a few more cups of the palace's secret brewed wine.

The wine was mellow on the palate, but had a strong aftereffect. Before long, an alluring blush rose on her cheeks, and her eyes became increasingly moist. Occasionally, she would meet Wu Tian's gaze, her eyes almost overflowing with affection.

Wu Tian responded calmly, chatting and laughing with everyone. He was neither overly humble nor arrogant, striking the perfect balance, which earned him nods of approval from the experienced and prudent generals and officials.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

Mo Yuqiong was slightly drunk. Attended by several beautiful and graceful clam maidens, she returned with Wu Tian to the Crown Prince's palace, the Golden Dragon Palace, which had been arranged in advance.

Located deep within the Divine Dragon Palace, this hall boasts a tranquil environment. Its furnishings are luxurious yet elegant. The soft glow of luminous pearls filters through the gossamer-thin silk lampshades, and the air is filled with the soothing scent of incense.

Upon entering the inner hall, Mo Yuqiong waved for the maids to prepare a fragrant bath. She turned around, about to say something to Wu Tian, ​​but he stepped forward and forcefully embraced her slender waist.

"Husband..." Mo Yuqiong whispered, feeling the warmth of his hand through her clothes, her heart suddenly racing.

Wu Tian lowered his head, his gaze fixed intently on her flushed, incomparably beautiful face, while his other hand restlessly caressed her back, slowly wandering over it. His voice was deep and carried an undeniable meaning: "Qiong'er, tonight you will stay in this palace with me."

Without waiting for her response, he kissed her slightly parted cherry lips deeply.

"Mmm..." Mo Yuqiong's body trembled. Although she was used to being intimate with him, she clearly felt that the atmosphere tonight was different from usual. If this continued...

She felt a mix of shyness, panic, and a faint glimmer of expectation. She placed her hands against his chest, gently pushing him away, and mumbled, "Husband...no...the maid is still here..."

However, Wu Tian was now aroused by the beauty in his arms and the effects of the wine, which stirred up the strength and desire in his dragon nature. How could he allow her to back down?
He tightened his arms, locking her firmly in his embrace, and the hand that had been wandering on her back began to explore, completely unhindered by her thin palace dress.

“They know what to do.” Wu Tian pulled away from her lips and kissed his way down her long neck, while skillfully untying her sash.

Mo Yuqiong's body went limp, her struggles grew weaker and weaker, her eyes glazed over, and her breathing became rapid. Her palace outer robe was removed, revealing the exquisite undergarments beneath.

"Husband...my lord..." Her last resistance turned into a powerless murmur.

Wu Tian chuckled softly, then suddenly scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the large, magnificent dragon-patterned brocade couch.

The accompanying clam maidens exchanged glances, their faces flushed, but they skillfully lowered their eyes, quickly and deftly lowered the heavy silk curtains, extinguished most of the candles, leaving only one or two dim lights in the distance, and then silently withdrew from the palace and closed the door.

Inside the gauze curtains, clothes lay on the floor.

The dragon maiden's body is made of ice and jade, yet it possesses an incredible resilience.

Wu Tian felt exhilarated as the unique life force of the dragon race circulated and merged, which actually benefited both of their cultivation levels and added a touch of mystery.

That night, towering waves surged within the Golden Dragon Palace, only gradually subsiding as dawn approached.

The next morning, Wu Tian woke up to a room filled with a sweet fragrance, his fiancée still fast asleep in his arms.

Seeing the dragon princess curled up in his arms, her jade-like body lying horizontally, her black hair disheveled, her exquisite face bearing the tranquility of a deep sleep and a trace of lingering alluring passion, Wu Tian felt another surge of heat in his heart.

Just as he was about to make a move, a maidservant's soft and cautious voice came from outside the palace: "Your Highness, Princess, General Dragon Turtle has sent someone to report that an envoy from Yaochi has come to visit outside the palace and specifically requests to see Your Highness."

Wu Tian paused, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Mo Yuqiong was also startled awake. Her long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she opened her sleepy eyes. When she heard the maid's words, she also showed surprise.

"The Jade Pool Envoy? So early?" She propped herself up, her body feeling a little sore. The brocade quilt slipped down, revealing a glimpse of her beauty, but she quickly pulled it back up in embarrassment.

Wu Tian pulled her back into his arms, his fingers unconsciously stroking her smooth shoulder, and pondered, "I'm afraid they're up to no good. I just returned to the palace, and the news spread in less than a night before the Yaochi envoy arrived. They were clearly prepared and had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Divine Dragon Palace."

Mo Yuqiong leaned against his chest and said worriedly, "Yaochi is powerful, and the Kunlun Dao lineage is behind it. We must not offend them easily."

"Don't worry," Wu Tian kissed her forehead, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's see what they're up to."

The two summoned a maid, and then they bathed and changed clothes.

Mo Yuqiong deliberately chose a more dignified palace dress to cover the slight marks on her neck, but the unique charm and increasingly radiant glow in her eyes after the first rain could not be concealed.

When they arrived at the Bibo Hall, the main reception hall of the Divine Dragon Palace, the Dragon Turtle Li Xuanba was already accompanying a guest.

It was a woman dressed in a pale yellow fairy dress, her clothes fluttering, the fabric resembling clouds and mist, not an ordinary material.

She was tall and slender, with a beautiful face, willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a delicate nose, and cherry lips. She could be considered a beauty, but there was an innate coldness and arrogance between her brows.

At this moment, the Yaochi envoy sat quietly in the guest seat, holding a cup of tea, and only responded lightly to Li Xuanba's polite words.

Upon seeing Wu Tian and Mo Yuqiong arrive together, the woman put down her teacup, stood up, and gave a slight bow as a courtesy. Her voice was like a clear spring striking a stone, but it lacked warmth. "The Jade Pool Bluebird, on the orders of my second fairy, has come to pay respects to His Highness the Crown Prince of the Divine Dragon Palace, Princess Yuqiong."

"The Bluebird messenger has come a long way, it must be tiring." Wu Tian and Mo Yuqiong sat down in the main seats, their attitude neither humble nor arrogant. "May I ask what brings the Second Fairy to send her messenger?"

The Bluebird Messenger didn't say much. With a flick of her delicate hand, she took out a spellbook bound with gold thread, emitting a faint fragrance of lotus blossoms, and handed it over.

"My fairy maiden heard that His Highness the Crown Prince had slain the Sea-Overturning Demon who had been wreaking havoc in the Western Sea yesterday, and that his supernatural powers were astonishing, and she was filled with admiration."

"It just so happens that my Jade Pool is holding a small gathering of immortals recently, and I have specially invited all the virtuous immortals and powerful rulers of the Western Sea to attend the banquet and discuss the Dao. I have specially sent the Azure Bird to deliver the invitation, and respectfully invite His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Yuqiong to come to the Jade Pool Immortal Realm to attend the banquet and talk."

Mo Yuqiong accepted the invitation and exchanged a glance with Wu Tian, ​​both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

This banquet at Yaochi is probably not a pleasant one at all.

As Wu Tian was pondering how to respond tactfully, footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall, and a slightly urgent voice rang out: "The Fairy of Yaochi is hosting a banquet? This is a grand event in the Western Sea, Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess should be going!"

A young general, dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, with short dragon horns on his head, and a handsome face that carried a hint of effeminacy, strode into the hall. This was none other than the Yellow Dragon General who had claimed to be in seclusion yesterday. (End of Chapter)
