Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Wu Tian's eyes flashed as he looked at Jin's mother in front of him. This woman had such great ambition.

He had previously focused on the Golden Mother's supernatural powers, but now he realized that this woman was truly stunningly beautiful, yet she had no hint of seductiveness. Instead, she was like a peony, exuding elegance and nobility.

"But why... do I suddenly have an urge to conquer her... to make her kneel before me?"

This sudden surge of emotion and rage from the depths of his heart caused a slight change in the way he looked at Jin's mother.

All I could feel was that this woman had fair skin, a beautiful face, and a voluptuous figure. In particular, her aloof and naturally sacred aura made one want to desecrate her.

Little did Jin Mu know that after she revealed this secret, the monkey opposite her had such lewd thoughts arising in its mind.

Seeing Wu Tian's somewhat eager gaze, she assumed he had been persuaded and continued, "I know you must have some concerns."

"With your current strength, you might be able to compete for the Heavenly King's throne yourself. But you must know that competing for the Heavenly King's throne is not only about personal strength, but also about the foundation behind you."

"Without God's support, no matter how strong you are, you will ultimately be all alone. When all the heroes attack, how long can you hold out?"

The Golden Mother looked at Wu Tian and said, "Although anyone who can become one of the 365 True Gods has a chance to compete for the position of Heavenly Emperor."

"But in reality, without the support of the God of Heaven, it is impossible to ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. The same is true for the Five Heavenly Kings."

"Each of the six Heavenly Lords has its own plans. The candidate recommended by the Taiqing lineage will inevitably be a disciple of Taiqing; the candidate recommended by the Yuxu lineage will inevitably be a disciple of Kunlun; the candidate recommended by the Buddhist sect will inevitably be a member of the Buddhist sect; and so will the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Demon God Sect."

She looked at Wu Tian with intense gaze.

"Although you have some connection with the Dragon Clan, you are not a true dragon now, but a primordial divine embryo. The Dragon Clan would never support an outsider to ascend to the throne of the Heavenly King."

Wu Tian remained silent. Although he had a father-in-law relationship with the Dragon King of the West Sea, the real rulers of the Dragon Clan were those ancient beings who had secluded themselves in seclusion, namely the Lord of the Azure Sky.

Now that he has cultivated this body of the Long-Armed Divine Ape, he is ultimately separated from the Dragon Clan by a layer.

"But I am different."

The mother's voice carried a hint of arrogance.

"I am highly regarded by the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable and have a deep connection with the Kunlun Daoist lineage. If I were to vie for the position of Heavenly Emperor, the Kunlun Daoist lineage would certainly give me its full support."

She paused, looking at Wu Tian.

"Therefore, Fellow Daoist Wu Tian, ​​I wish to invite you to be my protector."

"Guardians of the Way?"

“Exactly,” said the Golden Mother. “The struggle for the throne of the Heavenly King and the throne of the Heavenly Emperor is not something that can be accomplished by one person alone. At that time, heroes from all three realms will rise up, and overlords from all sides will emerge. No matter how strong I am, I cannot sweep away all the powerful enemies by myself.”

"I need someone to shield me from other powerful enemies and clear obstacles for me."

Her gaze was intense. "And you, fellow Daoist, with your unparalleled speed and divine power, are the perfect protector."

"If you are willing to help me, I can guarantee you the position of a Heavenly King."

"I have the Kunlun lineage and the Jade Void Celestial Venerable behind me. If you protect my path, you will be my ally. When the time comes to compete for the Heavenly King's throne, I will speak up for you and fight for it for you."

Wu Tian remained silent; in fact, his background was far deeper than Jin Mu could imagine.

He has many clones, each in a different camp. The Wind Mother's Dharma form is located in the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court, while the Hou Yi Dharma form is a demon god who can easily pledge allegiance to the Northwest, which is currently lacking a top overlord, namely the Lord of the Azure Heaven.

As for his own body as a gibbon, although he has some connection with the dragon race, the chance of becoming a heavenly king through the dragon race is indeed quite slim.

However, there is another Golden Crow Dharma Image that might be obtained from the Phoenix Clan, but the Phoenix Clan has the Great Sage Kong Lingxuan.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts, and slowly spoke.

“Fellow Daoist Jinmu, this matter is of great importance, and I need time to consider it.”

The Golden Mother smiled slightly.

"Of course."

Having said that, she didn't elaborate further, but instead directly brought up another secret.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but according to the deliberations of the six Heavenly Lords, in addition to the 365 righteous gods in the Investiture of the Gods, there is also a special honorary position—the Empress."

Wu Tian asked with some confusion, "The Emperor and Empress?"

“That’s right,” said the Golden Mother. “However, the positions of Emperor and Empress have already been decided by those few, so there is no need to compete for them. Therefore, most people are completely unaware of this, and this news has not been circulated outside at all.”

Wu Tian raised an eyebrow: "Settled it directly? Who is that person?"

He was genuinely curious: who exactly was this person who had gained the approval of six gods and directly become the empress?

If there's anyone in the Three Realms with such a background and qualifications, the only one he can think of is the one standing before him.

But judging from the woman's words, that empress was definitely not her.

The Golden Mother said, "That Empress came from Jade Void Kunlun. She is an extremely mysterious woman, and even I don't know much about her."

"All I know is that she became an immortal at a young age, and her background is extremely special. Even someone like me, who is closely related to the Kunlun lineage, does not know her specific background."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh and said, "With your status and abilities, it would be easy for you to compete for the position of Empress. Why bother fighting to the death for the Heavenly Emperor's throne?"

"If you really become the empress, the empress of Kunlun will be in an awkward position."

Jin Mu couldn't help but glance at him. Only this wild monkey would dare to spout such nonsense in front of her. Even her other sisters always treated her with great respect and would never dare to talk such nonsense.

"I have cultivated in the Golden Pool for ten thousand years, and I believe I am no less than anyone else. I would rather conquer all directions, debate with the gods, and vie for the position of Heavenly Emperor."

"I would never want to be a so-called emperor or empress."

“Even if such a prestigious position were placed before me, I would not deign to take it.”

As she spoke, her gaze was indifferent, yet there was an indescribable arrogance about her, making her fair face appear even more beautiful and captivating.

Wu Tian suddenly felt a bit thirsty. He picked up his teacup and took a sip, but his chest felt even hotter.

He quickly got up, realizing he had been bewitched by the woman and had acted so impulsively.

"Fellow Daoist, please allow me some time to consider the matter of protecting the Dao. I will go and see Qiong'er first."

The Golden Mother nodded: "Very well, the broken branch from the ancient peach tree that I gave you will also take about three days to cut off."

"The ancient peach tree is not an ordinary spiritual root; every branch and leaf is a manifestation of the laws and creation, and cannot be cut off at will."

"Why don't you stay in Yaochi for a few more days? After I take the broken branch and give it to you, you can leave then."

Wu Tian nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist. I'll stay here for a few more days."

When Jin's mother saw that he had agreed, she immediately made the arrangements.

Soon after, a maidservant arrived. After Wu Tian took his leave, he left Taizhen Palace under her guidance.

Before long, he arrived at the ancient peach tree.

At this moment, Mo Yuqiong was sitting cross-legged, her body enveloped in the glow of the sunset. One could vaguely see a jade dragon roaring and circling in the glow, displaying a magnificent spectacle.

Wu Tian stood not far away, quietly watching her.

"Her Highness entered a state of enlightenment as soon as she entered this place, and the effect of refining the peaches this time is extremely amazing."

Zixia Fairy's voice rang out from behind.

"Once she has fully digested the peaches, she will surely be able to break through to the True Immortal realm in one fell swoop. In fact, she still has some confidence in comprehending the mysteries of the immortal realm."

Wu Tian nodded without saying anything.

Once they confirmed Mo Yuqiong's condition, they stopped bothering her.

……

At the Golden Mother's command, maids arranged accommodations for her. It was a secluded fairy island, small yet exquisitely tranquil. On the island stood a small building, with a bamboo grove in front and a clear spring behind. The bamboo grove was serene, and the spring murmured gently—truly a perfect place for self-cultivation.

Wu Tian sat cross-legged in the bamboo forest, closing his eyes to cultivate.

I felt surrounded by a pure and spiritual aura here, and compared to the outside world, my speed of comprehending the power of heaven and earth was 30% faster. It was indeed a superior blessed land.

"It truly is a sacred place for cultivation, worthy of being called Yaochi."

In the following days, he went to see Mo Yuqiong under the peach tree every morning. Seeing that she was immersed in a mysterious state and her aura was getting better day by day, he gradually felt at ease.

Then, in the morning, he cultivated in the bamboo forest, and the body of the Long-Armed Divine Ape was initially formed. The path of cultivation ahead is still very long.

Although this place was not suitable for seclusion, he was still silently experiencing the changes in his divine embryo. Almost every day, his divine power would increase by a few points. If this continued, he would be able to grow stronger over time.

The characteristics of the Long-Armed Ape are truly terrifying to the extreme.

In the afternoon, under the guidance of Fairy Zixia, he toured various scenic spots in Yaochi.

Three days later, at the Taizhen Palace.

Wu Tian stepped into the magnificent palace once again, where the Golden Mother was already waiting.

Today she changed into a pale yellow dress, and her jet-black hair was tied up with only a jade hairpin. Her imposing manner had softened considerably, replaced by a more approachable and gentle demeanor.

Especially her form-fitting dress, which beautifully outlined her pert breasts and round hips, making her exceptionally eye-catching.

It must be said that she is indeed an extremely stunning woman.

Wu Tian looked her up and down, and the thoughts he had been suppressing surged up again, "This woman, dressed so innocently, is even more alluring!"

Upon seeing Wu Tian enter, Jin Mu smiled slightly and took a jade box from beside her.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Tian, ​​please take a look."

The jade box was about seven feet long and one foot wide, crystal clear and translucent, faintly emitting a precious light. Countless fine incantations were engraved on the box, the incantations flowing and shifting as if they were alive.

Wu Tian took the jade box and gently opened it.

The first thing you see is a broken branch.

The broken branch was about seven feet long and as thick as a baby's arm, its entire body a pale gold color, exactly like the ancient peach tree. Countless ancient patterns flowed across the surface of the broken branch, layer upon layer, densely packed, each containing profound Taoist principles.

A faint Dao light permeated the patterns.

Wu Tian reached out and gently touched the broken branch.

It was warm to the touch, with a faint warmth. Within that warmth, a mysterious energy emanated, resonating with his mind and soul, as if calling to him, drawing him in.

He sensed the immense vitality contained within the broken branch and was secretly astonished.

The cut branch was much better than he had imagined.

He originally thought that even if the Golden Mother gave him a broken branch, she would definitely do something to it, either a useless branch with depleted essence or a very short broken branch.

But this broken branch before me is full of divine radiance and permeated with Daoist charm. It is seven feet long and is clearly an excellent section from the ancient peach tree!
Looking at his expression, Jin's mother smiled slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Tian, ​​are you satisfied with this severed branch?"

Wu Tian took a deep breath and closed the jade box.

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Jinmu, you are a trustworthy person."

Jinmu nodded. "This severed branch is an apology for what happened before, and also a token of my sincerity for our future cooperation. If you are willing, you can agree to become my protector."

"I will do my utmost to supply you with the resources of Yaochi, and I will never let you down."

"Peaches of immortality, elixirs, magical artifacts, cultivation techniques—anything I possess, I can share with you."

She paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"If one day I truly become an empress, it would not be unreasonable to give you this ancient peach tree."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's heart skipped a beat.

An ancient peach tree!

A complete ancient peach tree!
If one could refine it, what kind of fortune would one gain?

Could this be a step that allows one to become a Golden Immortal?

His heart skipped a beat.

Jin's mother looked at him, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

She knew that the monkey had finally fallen for her.

Wu Tian remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Okay. I will definitely consider this matter carefully."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly: "Very well, I await your reply."

She paused, then added, "However, fellow Daoist, you must act quickly. Once the Investiture of the Gods is announced, it will surely cause a stir in the Three Realms."

"At that time, hundreds of millions of people will compete for the 365 divine positions. We must make arrangements in advance in order to gain an advantage in the upcoming situation."

Wu Tian nodded: "I understand."

He looked at Jin's mother with a solemn expression.

“Fellow Daoist Jinmu, I’m going to take another look at Qiong’er. I will give you an answer when I come to pick her up next time.”

He paused, his voice turning slightly cold.

"However, you must take good care of her. Nothing can happen to her. Otherwise..."

He didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already clear.

"Don't worry." Mother Jin's tone was calm, but it was filled with an undeniable air of authority. "With me here, no one can harm a single hair on her head."

Wu Tian stared at her for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Goodbye."

He turned around and strode away.

……

Under the ancient peach tree.

Mo Yuqiong remained seated cross-legged, enveloped in nine layers of golden light. Her aura was more solid and vast than it had been three days prior, causing the surrounding void to tremble with its laws, clearly indicating that she was poised to create a blessed land.

Wu Tian gently raised his hand and plucked a white hair.

The hair was crystal clear, radiating a faint, ethereal glow. He gently blew on it, and the hair transformed into a beam of white light, wrapping around Mo Yuqiong's wrist to form an exquisite white bracelet.

There were faint incantations flowing across the bracelet.

Wu Tian's spirit resides within it. If danger approaches, he can immediately sense it, and the supernatural power contained within this hair can even temporarily repel enemies and protect her life.

"Qiong'er, you should cultivate here carefully," he said softly. "When you wake up, I will come to take you home."

He stayed quietly with her for a while longer before drifting away.

Before long, they left the Jade Pool Grotto.

However, he did not return directly to Tongtian Palace, but instead headed straight for the Azure Heaven River in the fourth heaven. (End of Chapter)
