Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Above the Western Sea, the setting sun bleeds like blood.

Several days have passed, and most of the corpses on the sea surface have been collected. The dark red seawater has gradually become clearer, but the strong stench still lingers in the air.

The reconstruction of Tongtianfu is proceeding at a rapid pace.

After days of hard work, Mo Yuqiong finally settled the surviving aquatic creatures and recorded the names of the fallen in the jade book, erecting a monument for their commemoration. Of the forces that had once relied on the Divine Dragon Palace, less than one-tenth remained, and the remaining scattered cultivators were also gathered under the Tongtian Prefecture and settled in a unified manner.

On this day, the Dragon King of the West Sea summoned Wu Tian and Mo Yuqiong to the newly built main hall.

Unlike ordinary people, those with cultivation can build palaces in almost a day. However, it is not easy to set up the restrictions that were set up in the past.

This not only requires cultivators proficient in enchantments, but also necessitates the mobilization of various resources from all corners of the country. Given Tongtian Prefecture's current resources, it will naturally take some time to raise these resources.

The Dragon King of the West Sea stood in the hall and turned around when he heard footsteps.

"My dear son-in-law, Qiong'er."

His gaze swept over the two men, finally settling on Wu Tian.

"It's time for me to go."

Mo Yuqiong was slightly taken aback. "Father, are you leaving so soon?"

The Dragon King of the West Sea nodded. "The Dragon Palace has been urging us several times. Although it is my duty as a father to leave the Dragon Palace without permission and come to rescue you against my father's orders, I still need to give an explanation to the Dragon Palace."

He looked at Wu Tian with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, "My dear son-in-law, with your current cultivation level, you can be considered a hegemon in the Three Realms."

"However, now that the six great gods have emerged, there will inevitably be turmoil soon. It is better to remain calm than to make a move now. I hope my son-in-law will think this over carefully."

The Dragon King of the West Sea clearly didn't want his violent and intolerant son-in-law to cause any more trouble during this period.

As a powerful and ruthless ruler, he had a keen sense of danger and had already sensed some impending peril, which is why he offered another warning before parting.

Wu Tian nodded slightly, "Father-in-law, rest assured, I plan to take Qiong'er to Yaochi. Once Qiong'er has obtained that fortune, I will return with the broken branch of the ancient peach tree and go into seclusion."

The Dragon King of the West Sea laughed heartily, "Very well, if Qiong'er can truly break through to the True Immortal realm, she will have established a foothold in the Dao. At that time, I will officiate your marriage, how about it?"

Wu Tian hurriedly said, "Then I thank you very much, Father-in-law. I would be more than happy to accept this."

Seeing his attitude, the Dragon King of the West Sea felt much more at ease. He looked at his daughter, whose smile had gradually returned in the past few days, walked over, and patted Mo Yuqiong's shoulder affectionately.

"Qiong'er, after I leave, you will be the mistress of Tongtian Mansion. Assist Wu Tian well, and if you suffer any injustice, just tell your father."

Mo Yuqiong's eyes reddened slightly. "Father, don't worry, I understand."

The Dragon King of the West Sea nodded, then looked at Wu Tian, ​​"My dear son-in-law, I entrust Qiong'er to you."

Wu Tian nodded solemnly, "Father-in-law, please rest assured."

The Dragon King of the West Sea gave him a deep look, then finally turned around and strode away.

As he reached the palace gate, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the plaque above the main hall.

The three large characters on the plaque are written in a vigorous and elegant style.

Tongtianfu.

The Dragon King of the West Sea smiled and murmured, "Tongtian Palace... I hope that one day, my son-in-law, you too can walk the Tongtian Avenue and open up the immortal realm. I'm off now."

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a golden ray of light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the clouds in an instant.

Mo Yuqiong stared in the direction her father had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.

Wu Tian walked to her side and gently took her hand. "Qiong'er, don't be sad. If you miss your father-in-law, you can always return to the Dragon Palace to see him."

Mo Yuqiong shook her head. "Husband, I was thinking about something else. Father is right. I have felt a shadow hanging over my heart for the past two days, and I can't even concentrate on my cultivation."

"This is unprecedented, and I'm afraid the Three Realms will inevitably undergo unprecedented changes."

"I'm really feeling uneasy..."

Wu Tian held her in his arms, gently took her hand, and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'm here for you. With my current cultivation level, I can protect you."

"Since chaos is imminent in the Three Realms, the trip to Yaochi is of utmost urgency."

"Why don't we make arrangements here and then head to Yaochi? If you can advance to True Immortal, you'll have the ability to protect yourself."

"Moreover, the severed limb of that ancient peach tree is of great importance to me, and may be able to further enhance my supernatural powers."

"The more chaotic the times, the more important strength becomes."

"This matter cannot be delayed."

Mo Yuqiong was slightly taken aback, and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "In that case, I will listen to you, Wu Lang, and we will go to Yaochi together."

……

Three days later.

Wu Tian arranged all the affairs of Tongtian Mansion and entrusted all matters, large and small, to Li Xuanba. Although this old dragon turtle was old, he was experienced, shrewd, and most importantly, loyal to Mo Yuqiong. With him in charge, people could naturally feel at ease.

Before leaving, Li Xuanba bowed and said, "Rest assured, Lord, this old servant will do his utmost to protect Tongtian Mansion."

Wu Tian nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

He took Mo Yuqiong's hand, transformed into a golden light, soared into the sky, and headed straight west.

Yaochi is located in the far west of the Western Sea. There is a fairy island there called Penglai. On Penglai Fairy Island, a grotto-heaven has been opened up, which is Yaochi.

Golden light vanished into the sky, covering thousands of miles in an instant.

Wu Tian's Somersault Cloud was already unparalleled, but after transforming into the Long-Armed Divine Ape, its speed became even more incredible. In less than half an hour, the two had arrived at Penglai Immortal Island in the far west of the Western Sea.

The entire fairy island was shrouded in a vast sea of ​​clouds.

The island was faintly visible, bathed in countless rays of light and auspicious clouds.

The rosy clouds and auspicious mists emanated from the depths of the fairy island, dyeing the entire sky with a dazzling array of seven colors.

Mo Yuqiong gazed at the sea of ​​clouds before her, her eyes filled with amazement.

"This is Penglai Immortal Island? I've heard of Penglai Immortal Island and Yaochi for a long time, but this is my first time here."

Wu Tian nodded. "Penglai Immortal Island is merely an entrance left by Yaochi in the outside world. The blessed lands and grotto-heavens are not within the Three Realms, and cannot be entered without invitation."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and unleashed a beam of golden light.

Golden light burst into the sea of ​​clouds, instantly exploding into a massive pillar of light that shot straight into the heavens.

"Wu Tian from Tongtian Prefecture has come to visit with his Daoist companion!"

His voice, like a thunderclap, exploded above the sea of ​​clouds, causing the entire sea of ​​clouds to surge.

A moment later, the sea of ​​clouds suddenly parted to the sides, revealing a wide passage.

At the end of the passage, a fairyland can be vaguely seen.

A figure flew out from the passage.

It was a female immortal, dressed in a purple fairy robe, with a cold and aloof face, and an ancient sword hanging at her waist. She was none other than the Purple Fairy, one of the Seven Fairies of Yaochi. She looked at Wu Tian, ​​a hint of fear flashing in her eyes, but her face remained expressionless. "Lord of the Manor, the Golden Mother requests your presence."

She stepped aside and gestured for them to proceed.

Wu Tian pulled Mo Yuqiong along and strode into the passage.

……

The moment I stepped into the passage, the view opened up before me.

This is a true paradise.

The sky was a pure, deep blue, with a few white clouds drifting by, each cloud shimmering with a faint golden light.

There was no sun in the sky, only seven-colored light flowing between heaven and earth.

Looking out over the entire cave, one sees an endless lake.

The lake was incredibly large, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The lake water is crystal clear, and countless lotus flowers float on its surface. Some are as white as snow, some are as pink as the sunset, and some are as golden as the sun. Each lotus flower emits a faint halo.

In the center of the lake stand numerous fairy islands.

Those fairy islands ranged in size from a hundred miles in circumference to only a few feet in square meters. Each fairy island had pavilions and towers, waterfalls and springs, exotic flowers and rare herbs, and mythical birds and beasts.

Further away, a gigantic fairy island floats in mid-air.

That place is the center of the entire Yaochi Grotto Heaven.

There are seven mountain peaks on the island, each of which soars into the sky.

Above the mountain peaks, palaces stretch endlessly, pavilions rise in layers, clouds and mist swirl, and the sun shines brightly. At the summit of the highest peak stands a magnificent palace, upon which three large characters gleam.

Taizhen Palace.

Behind the Taizhen Palace, there is a huge ancient tree.

The ancient tree was immeasurably tall, its canopy blocking out the sky and almost completely covering the entire immortal island. Its bark was pale gold, with countless ancient patterns flowing across it, each pattern containing profound and unfathomable Daoist principles.

"That must be the ancient peach tree..."

Wu Tian immediately looked at the ancient tree, his heart pounding. He could feel the allure of the tree, and even his system panel was buzzing wildly.

Ding! System notification: The ancient Peach Tree, a spiritual root of heaven and earth, has been discovered. Refining the ancient tree will yield various divine embryo templates. Would you like to refine it?

ding... ding... ding...

System notifications rang out one after another. Wu Tian even subconsciously licked his lips, wishing someone would rush over and refine the ancient tree right now. For him, this would be an incredible stroke of luck.

Unfortunately……

If they were to turn against each other in this Jade Pool Grotto, even he might not be able to get out, let alone Mo Yuqiong.

He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and didn't even dare to look in the direction of the ancient peach tree anymore.

At this moment, Mo Yuqiong was completely immersed in this fairyland, her eyes filled with amazement.

"This is... the Jade Pool..."

“Indeed, Your Highness, this is the Jade Pool Wonderland. The Seven Immortal Islands in the very center are where the seven of us sisters live. My eldest sister cultivates in the Tai Zhen Palace on the Seven Immortal Islands. I will take you there.” As Fairy Zixia spoke, she stepped onto the lake.

Immediately, a purple lotus bloomed beneath its feet in the lake, lifting its body three inches above the surface, preventing it from sinking.

"Please welcome our two distinguished guests."

Wu Tian glanced at the somewhat curious Mo Yuqiong, smiled, and took her hand, leading her onto the lake.

He had already discerned some of the lake's mysteries.

The seemingly ordinary lake in front of us is not actually water, but rather incredibly pure magical energy.

Yes! The vast expanse of water before us, with its almost invisible boundaries, is the power of some being.

If one did not know the background, no one would have imagined that someone could cultivate their magical power to such a vast level.

This is true, boundless magical power, truly awe-inspiring.

Wu Tian and Mo Yuqiong walked hand in hand onto the lake. As their feet touched the ground, a golden lotus and a white lotus bloomed, lifting their bodies up.

Zixia Fairy glanced at Wu Tian with a strange look in her eyes, because the golden lotus at his feet had thirty-six petals, and its golden light shone in all directions, making it incredibly magical.

That kind of grandeur far surpassed that of Fairy Zixia and Mo Yuqiong.

It should be noted that the purple lotus beneath Fairy Zixia's feet had only twelve petals, while Mo Yuqiong had only nine.

The lake before us is also known as the Lotus Pond in the Fairyland of Jade Pool. Stepping into the Lotus Pond will cause a corresponding lotus platform to rise up, and that lotus platform can reveal the potential and cultivation level of the person who steps into it to a certain extent.

"If I remember correctly, my second sister's flower only has eighteen petals... Is the potential of the Long-Armed Divine Ape really that incredible?"

No one could know the shock that Fairy Zixia felt deep inside. On the surface, she calmly introduced the various scenic spots of Yaochi to Wu Tian and Mo Yuqiong, leading them across the lake, over the fairy islands, and finally to the front of Yaochi Palace.

When they arrived at Taizhen Palace, the Golden Mother was already waiting there.

Today, she was dressed in a crimson fairy robe, adorned with a jade phoenix hairpin, her face serene and her aura majestic. Behind her stood five fairies, the other five of the Seven Fairies of Yaochi.

The Golden Mother looked at Wu Tian and said, "Fellow Daoist, your presence at Yaochi is an honor we have failed to give you."

Her attitude had changed dramatically compared to before, and there was no trace of arrogance or condescension in her words and actions.

Wu Tian had no intention of playing along with the Yaochi crowd, and said directly, "It's alright. My purpose in coming here is to help Qiong'er advance to the True Immortal realm and to obtain that broken branch from the ancient peach tree."

Jinmu's expression stiffened slightly. She really didn't want to cut off another branch from the ancient peach tree, but now that the other party was so eager to come to her door, if she continued to refuse, she was afraid that things would fall apart again.

She felt a little helpless, and thinking of the news she had received from the Jade Void Heavenly Palace a few days ago, she sighed slightly.

The Investiture of the Gods, the 365 righteous gods, and the struggle for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor—the entire Heavenly Court is about to undergo a great upheaval.

"According to the Celestial Venerable, among the 365 righteous gods, there should be five Heavenly Kings. The gods will first compete for the position of the five Heavenly Kings, and then the five Heavenly Kings will compete for the position of the Heavenly Emperor."

"There are three hundred and sixty righteous gods, and three great god lists: Heaven, Earth, and Man. One hundred and twenty gods are selected from each of the gods, true immortals, and wandering immortals to be listed on the list."

"Rankings on the leaderboard are determined by supernatural abilities."

"If I wish to contend for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, I must have someone to protect me."

"This monkey is incredibly fast and possesses immense divine power. If it could assist me, my chances of winning the Heavenly Emperor title would increase by another three percent."

The Golden Mother knew that there were many ancient relics hidden deep within the Three Realms. Over the millennia, countless geniuses had disappeared into the river of time, and they were not necessarily all dead.

No matter how strong one is, it is impossible to sweep away all heroes by one's own strength. One must have a protector to deal with other powerful enemies.

Thinking of this, the Golden Mother's eyes gleamed as she looked Wu Tian up and down, "This is truly an excellent guardian deity!"

"If one day I become Empress, it would be only right that I bestow upon you the title of Heavenly King." (End of Chapter)
