Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

West Sea, Divine Dragon Palace.

Deep within the Golden Dragon Palace, Wu Tian sat cross-legged on a cloud bed.

His eyes were slightly closed, his breathing was long and even, and his body was enveloped in a layer of pale golden divine light. The light was not dazzling, but it contained a heart-palpitating heaviness and majesty, as if the area three feet around him was an independent little world.

After escaping from the ambush by the Thunder Prison Demon Lord that day, he announced his seclusion and never left the Golden Dragon Palace again.

Amidst external turmoil, the Buddha's reincarnation, and changes occurring in the Northwest.

He ignored all of this.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, left behind after the death of the Dragon King of the East Sea, is currently being suppressed beneath the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

The tiny, yet immensely powerful Fangcun Mountain Blessed Land, through continuous refinement, has become more solid and profound, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) statue atop the mountain shines ever brighter.

Countless golden runes flowed down the staff, cascading down the entire immortal mountain like a waterfall, merging into the rocks and vegetation.

Wu Tian's mind sank into Fangcun Mountain, and countless incantations flowed within his mind.

The cultivation of a True Immortal is essentially about constantly comprehending the Dao and principles one is cultivating, thereby perfecting one's blessed land.

The most fundamental principle of Fangcun Mountain is that it is as small as Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed.

He stood motionless like a stone statue, with golden light flowing between his brows.

The golden light was initially as faint as a firefly.

Then it gradually brightened, grew stronger, and became increasingly intense.

The entire quiet room is now illuminated.

Within each ray of golden light, countless densely packed incantations were intertwined, arising and ceasing, and recombining.

Each of those incantations was extremely ancient and profound, containing the principles of "emptiness," "Mount Sumeru," and "mustard seed."

During this period, Wu Tian refined the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl day and night in the blessed land of Fangcun Mountain, continuously extracting the bloodline essence and fragments of laws contained within it and integrating them into the blessed land.

This allowed him to recklessly and continuously deduce the changes of Mount Sumeru.

Supported by that incomparably pure bloodline essence, countless incantations cascaded down from the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Monkey King's Staff) and poured onto Fangcun Mountain like a waterfall, then arranged, combined, and intertwined on their own.

Each incantation represents the principles of Mount Sumeru.

The arrangement and combination of various incantations represent the changes in the void.

Wu Tian's consciousness was immersed in the blessed land of Fangcun Mountain.

He sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, with the image of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) standing beside him. Countless mantras flowed endlessly on the staff, cascading down like a waterfall.

The transformations of Mount Sumeru are endless.

But there are only 108 fundamental changes.

These 108 fundamental transformations encompass all the mysteries of Mount Sumeru.

Mastering these principles means mastering the Way of Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed.

Then you can—

In the blink of an eye, one can be transported 108,000 miles.

It can contain Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed and store the sun and moon in a pot.

To comprehend the changes in the void is to continuously adjust, optimize, and reorganize the billions of incantations within the square-inch mountain.

Make them more exquisite and stable, and gradually approach perfection.

I don't know how much time passed.

The constantly arising and ceasing incantations on Fangcun Mountain suddenly began to arrange themselves according to some mysterious law, forming a unique incantation structure.

Once that structure is complete.

The blessed land of Fangcun Mountain trembled slightly.

At the mountain peak, the image of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) trembled gently.

The first transformation of Mount Sumeru has been completed.

Wu Tian did not stop, and continued to comprehend the second change.

After mastering the first type of Sumeru transformation, the Ruyi Jingu Bang gained an additional layer of golden light.

Within the golden light were countless incantations, densely packed and layered, flowing endlessly across the staff.

……

The understanding and practice of the transformations of Mount Sumeru is an incomparably complex and exquisite process.

Even the slightest deviation will render all previous efforts futile.

More importantly, it is very possible that halfway through the practice, one will realize that they have taken the wrong path from the beginning.

Wu Tian possessed a system panel that allowed him to stay on the right path from beginning to end, saving him countless years of arduous cultivation.

He was so engrossed in it that he lost track of time.

Fangcun Mountain, a blessed land, is constantly changing.

With each new understanding of its transformations, Fangcun Mountain grew increasingly heavy, and the countless incantations that made up the blessed land became ever more exquisite.

The previously scattered incantations no longer flowed in a chaotic manner.

Instead, it is like the rotation of a galaxy, or the cycle of the sun and moon.

A month later, Wu Tian had comprehended eighteen transformations.

Compared to the cultivation of those from aristocratic families, this speed is not fast. Even with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl left by the Dragon King of the East Sea and the system panel, one still needs to diligently comprehend each change.

On the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), eighteen layers of light wheels rotate endlessly.

They intertwine, entwine, and merge, showing faint signs of becoming one.

At this point, Wu Tian suddenly realized that his progress in comprehending the truth was accelerating.

It's not because it's become easier, but because we've accumulated enough experience.

After successfully comprehending the eighteen transformations, Wu Tian's understanding of the Sumeru Dharma Principle has reached a new level.

Those changes that were originally obscure and difficult to understand now have a clear outline.

Those incantations that used to require careful drawing can now be woven together with a single thought.

The moment when the thirty-sixth transformation of Sumeru is successfully comprehended.

Thirty-six radiant wheels on the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) shone brightly at the same time.

They intertwine, entwine, and merge.

finally--

It transformed into an auspicious cloud, flowing slowly across the shaft of the staff.

The auspicious clouds, pure and clear as shimmering waves, flowed across the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff). With each flow, countless tiny incantations descended from it, like silk threads, merging into the blessed land of Fangcun Mountain.

Fangcun Mountain, a blessed land, suddenly trembled.

The mountain began to expand.

It gradually extends outward from its original radius of about ten feet.

One zhang, ten zhang, twenty zhang...

finally--

It was fixed within a radius of thirty-six zhang.

The 36-zhang-square-inch mountain.

It's more than ten times bigger than before.

The mountain became more solid, and even the incantation waterfall cascading from the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) became more vast.

In terms of cultivation level, Wu Tian has now reached the second level of True Immortal.

His mind was drawn to the cloud-like light emanating from the golden cudgel, and he recalled the monkey from the mythical legend who cultivated in the blessed land of Fangcun Mountain and attained the supernatural power of the somersault cloud.

A single somersault can cover 108,000 li (approximately 54,000 kilometers

Looking back now, it truly resonates subtly with my own path of spiritual practice.

He had a sense of gradually entering the realm of mythology and epic tales, as if he were slowly walking into an ancient era that he once looked up to and admired.

"Let's call it Somersault Cloud!"

The Somersault Cloud that Wu Tian cultivated is essentially a transformation of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff). It is a result of his successful cultivation in the Fangcun Mountain blessed land, which has enriched his Dharma body and made the Ruyi Jingu Bang even more profound. "However, my Somersault Cloud can only travel 36,000 li in one leap now. Only after comprehending the 108 complete transformations of Sumeru can I travel 108,000 li in one leap, just like that monkey."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

"The Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff) and the Somersault Cloud—except for lacking the seventy-two transformations, I'm really becoming more and more like that monkey."

Wu Tian composed himself and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

He knew that things were bound to be turbulent outside during this period, but he didn't care and didn't want to pay attention to it.

Let the world turn upside down, I will continue to cultivate my own path.

As long as he can condense the power of the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave and cultivate into an immortal, he will have a solid foundation to establish himself in the Three Realms.

Three months later, the incantation clouds on the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) were so dense that they almost covered the entire staff.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

Golden light shone brightly from between his eyebrows.

Just as the golden light was about to shoot straight into the sky, it reversed course the next moment, and boundless golden light descended from the sky like a waterfall, disappearing into his pupils.

Seventy-two layers of light swirled endlessly in Wu Tian's eyes, completely dyeing his pupils a pure gold color.

Those seventy-two haloed lights were the seventy-two transformations of Mount Sumeru that he had been comprehending over the past few months.

Seventy-two transformations appeared simultaneously, intertwining and entwining, ultimately transforming into a complete halo of light that merged into the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) suddenly erupted with an extremely clear and melodious whistle. The cloud light flowing on the golden cudgel became even more intense, as if it had submerged the entire image in golden light.

Meanwhile, Wu Tian's golden dragon body, which was sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, also exhibited a divine quality. The seventy-two haloed lights in his pupils did not dissipate but instead began to rotate slowly, emanating an extremely profound Daoist charm.

"At the True Immortal Third Realm, the Ruyi Jingu Bang Dharma Form has undergone another transformation and sublimation. In addition to the previous Somersault Cloud, it now has a pair of golden eyes."

"These eyes can see through heaven and earth, and can see through thousands of miles in a single glance. They can discern truth from falsehood and reality from illusion. With the wonder of Mount Sumeru, they can see the truth of heaven and earth."

Wu Tian felt very strange. He increasingly felt that the true method he was cultivating was clearly the path of the monkey in the myth. Now, even supernatural powers similar to the Fiery Eyes had appeared.

"Let's call it 'Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze'..."

Seventy-two rings of light rotated in his pupils, with billions of incantations flowing within. Any mortal who glanced into his pupils could have their mind and will destroyed by the immense information contained within them.

These eyes are the manifestation of the supernatural power of a part of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magical staff).

"Could it be that even after I have mastered all 108 transformations, I will still be able to cultivate the same transformation abilities as Sun Wukong?"

After months of arduous cultivation, he not only raised his cultivation to the third level of True Immortal, but also mastered the Somersault Cloud and Fiery Eyes.

The Somersault Cloud can now travel 72,000 li in a single leap, while the Fiery Eyes can see through the heavens and the earth.

With his current abilities, he can reach any place within his sight with a single leap; his mastery of the void is simply unparalleled.

"Continue, continue, quickly master the 108 transformations and open the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave. I want to see what mysteries this Sumeru Transformation will hold once it is complete."

"The essence of Fangcun Mountain Blessed Land is the principle of Sumeru."

"I wonder what kind of profound principle this so-called 'Crescent Moon and Three Stars Cave' holds."

The progress in his cultivation and his exploration of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth filled Wu Tian with joy. This kind of progress in cultivation was far more immersive than anything else.

……

While Wu Tian was in seclusion cultivating the Sumeru Transformation, life was not easy at the Divine Dragon Palace.

After he announced his seclusion, Mo Yuqiong took over all the affairs of the Divine Dragon Palace. With the assistance of the Dragon Turtle Li Xuanba and the Divine Kun General, the three of them worked together to manage the Divine Dragon Palace in an orderly manner.

However, the conflict between Yaochi and Shijue Island intensified, with the two sides fighting fiercely, especially after the incident in the northwest, when the two sides almost turned the world upside down.

Even seven or eight of the wandering immortals have died...

The entire Western Sea was awash in blood, and the carnage shook the heavens.

Wu Tian was ambushed and killed by the Thunder Prison Demon Lord. He used the excuse of being seriously injured to go into seclusion and temporarily escaped the conflict between Yaochi and Shiju Island.

However, as the conflict between the two sides intensified, Shenlong Palace could no longer remain uninvolved.

On this day, a celestial light suddenly appeared on the eastern horizon of the Divine Dragon Palace.

The celestial light layered upon layer, like clouds spreading out, like lotus blossoms blooming.

At first it was just a thin line, but in an instant it filled half the sky.

Amidst the celestial light, seven-colored rainbows flowed, auspicious clouds and auspicious energy accompanied them, and faint celestial music drifted from the horizon, ethereal and otherworldly, unlike any sound from the mortal world, instantly purifying the mind and bringing a sense of tranquility, like being bathed in a spring breeze.

Wherever the divine light reached, even the turbulent sea gradually calmed down, as if the seawater had become gentle under the illumination of the divine light.

Inside the Divine Dragon Palace, the bells suddenly rang.

That is the bell for welcoming immortals; it only rings when immortals descend.

Mo Yuqiong, who was handling official business in the hall, raised her head and looked through the hall door at the overwhelming celestial light in the eastern sky, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Immortals from Yaochi?"

She put down the spellbook in her hand, got up and walked outside.

Li Xuanba and General Shenkun had already sensed the oppressive power contained in the immortal light and were now rushing over to join Mo Yuqiong.

“Princess, you are from Yaochi.” Li Xuanba’s expression was grave. “Your intentions are not good.”

Mo Yuqiong nodded without saying anything, but quickened her pace.

The three arrived outside the palace gates, only to see the celestial light slowly receding, eventually coalescing into a figure that descended from the sky.

It was a woman.

She appeared to be around thirty years old, with a beautiful face and a slender figure.

She wore a magnificent cloud-patterned fairy robe, which shimmered with a faint seven-colored halo in the sunlight. A jade ring hung at her waist, engraved with intricate incantations and emitting a subtle, clear light.

She landed in front of the Divine Dragon Palace, hovering in the void, her gaze sweeping over the people of the Divine Dragon Palace before finally settling on Mo Yuqiong.

"You are the person in charge of the Divine Dragon Palace?"

She spoke, her voice cool and her tone indifferent.

Mo Yuqiong felt a slight chill in her heart, but remained outwardly calm.

She bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Mo Yuqiong greets the envoy. May I ask what brings you here?"

The messenger from Yaochi said in a detached tone, "I have come to deliver a message on the orders of the Queen Mother of Yaochi."

She paused, then raised her hand, and a beam of celestial light shot up, lifting the jade scroll and bringing it straight down in front of Mo Yuqiong.

Mo Yuqiong reached out and caught it, probing it with her divine sense.

A moment later, her expression changed.

There was only one sentence in that jade slip.

"By imperial decree of the Queen Mother of the West, the Divine Dragon Palace has dispatched three True Immortals to the Northwest to participate in the war."

The Golden Mother of Yaochi is the eldest fairy among the Seven Fairies of Yaochi. She is revered by the world as the Golden Mother of Yaochi and has reached the realm of immortals through her cultivation.

He was a very famous figure throughout the entire Three Realms.

This person personally issued the imperial edict, which represents the will of the entire Yaochi.

Mo Yuqiong's hand holding the jade book trembled slightly.

Where did the three true immortals of Shenlong Palace come from now?

Dragon Turtle Li Xuanba, Divine Kun General, and Wu Tian, ​​who is currently in seclusion.

This is the entire True Immortal-level combat power of the Divine Dragon Palace.

Three, no more, no less, exactly three.

If Wu Tian hadn't gone into seclusion, he could have gathered the three of them.

But Wu Tian went into seclusion.

Moreover, no one knows when he will emerge from seclusion.

If we were to forcibly interrupt his seclusion at this crucial moment...

Mo Yuqiong took a deep breath, suppressing her shock and anger, and looked at the Yaochi envoy.

Yaochi is trying to drag the entire Divine Dragon Palace into the battlefield.

Their malice was blatantly obvious, without the slightest attempt at concealment. (End of Chapter)
