Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

As the Golden Crow tried to continue its investigation, those beings so powerful that even time itself seemed to pause seemed to sense that a living being was watching them.

hum!
He only felt the world darken, and the once calm river of time was suddenly stirred up into a raging storm. A terrifying wave swept him up and instantly pulled him into the river.

Several ancient and majestic wills pierced through time from the distance of the long river and descended upon the original location of the Golden Crow's true form.

"You ignorant fool, how dare you spy on me?"

"It must be a little guy who has just grasped the meaning of time!"

"Strange, why can't we find the origin of that little guy from before? Could it be that it's not in the Heavenly Realm?"

The wills of three beings surged down from above the long river, making the river of time seem to stop flowing, a terrifying sight.

At the same time, the six Heavenly Lords who were sitting quietly in Lingxiao Palace suddenly opened their eyes simultaneously.

"What's going on? How could this suddenly alarm the old fogies of the Heavenly Realm?" Jade Void Celestial Venerable frowned. "Could it be that someone has found the location of this realm?"

The Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, with purple aura swirling behind him, ten thousand golden lotuses, a thousand golden lamps, and magical power hanging down like jewels.

Countless incantations intertwined in his eyes, deducing everything that had just happened. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "It should not be that the location of this realm has been leaked, but rather that a being from this realm has jumped out of the River of Time and spied on the Heavenly Realm, which is why it has attracted the attention of those beings."

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng narrowed his eyes slightly, "If we don't find that little guy soon, and he keeps coming back, the location of this realm will be exposed sooner or later."

Even the phoenix couldn't help but be surprised at this moment, "I wonder who has such good fortune to be able to jump out of the long river of time and have such a foundation, and already has the potential to become a Golden Immortal and a great power."

The Lord of the Azure Sky manifested as a dragon-headed human, majestic and imposing, with the Azure Sky rising and falling behind him, his gaze seemingly fixed on the unseen passage of time.

"With such supernatural power, that person is already infinitely close to us in essence. Finding him will probably not be so easy."

"Since he is in the Three Realms and it is the time for the Three Realms to confer gods, this person will surely reveal his true colors. We can then persuade him of the pros and cons." The Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable spoke, then slowly closed his eyes, letting his mind focus on the list of gods in front of everyone.

The three lists of Heaven, Earth, and Man established by the Heavenly Gate in the outside world are merely creations of the supernatural powers of the six Heavenly Lords. The true Investiture of the Gods is still being refined.

This item is a fusion of the authority of the Three Realms, which was used to confer titles upon 365 righteous gods. It can be called the most precious treasure in the history of this realm. Even if the six Heavenly Lords were to refine it together, it would still require a great deal of effort.

Therefore, although it is called the Investiture of the Gods, it does not look like a scroll or a list. In front of the six Heavenly Lords, auspicious colors and rays of light are displayed, and the laws of heaven and earth are intertwined into clouds, supporting a divine object.

Although it was indistinct and unclear amidst the myriad rays of light, one could still vaguely discern its shape as a precious seal.

……

Splash!
The sound of water could be heard in the void.

The true form of the Golden Crow slowly disappeared from the river of time, and in the next instant, it returned to the present world.

Within the azure Milky Way, the projection seated in place flickered slightly, the true form merging with the projection. The Golden Crow opened its eyes, a faint silver light flashing within them before disappearing.

He stood up, flapped his wings, and looked into the depths of the Milky Way.

"Who...who are those people?"

The Golden Crow muttered to itself, feeling a chill run down its spine as it thought of the area in the Milky Way shrouded in heavy mist.

After a long while, he came to his senses. "Never mind, it has nothing to do with me now, no matter what."

"There are too many secrets in these three realms."

"The most urgent task is to improve our own strength."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and golden sunlight swirled around him, completely enveloping his body. "After awakening the Time-Treading talent, my own foundation has increased dramatically, and my cultivation has advanced further."

"Now is the perfect opportunity to break through and elevate my star to the eighth heaven in one fell swoop."

The Golden Crow Dharma Form was confident that it could lift its own star to the sixth heaven. Now, having awakened the power of stepping on time, it overlooks all living beings above the river of time, and its own cultivation level rises with the tide, and its strength increases dramatically.

"Breaking through to the seventh level is a piece of cake for me, but if I want to break through to the eighth level, my foundation is still a little insufficient."

"We desperately need external assistance!"

As he thought of this, his pupils turned pure gold as he gazed in the direction of the Heavenly Court.

Soon, he saw a dazzling Buddha light.

Within the Buddha's light, a twelve-petaled lotus platform was flying away at an astonishing speed. On the lotus platform, Dingguang Bodhisattva sat cross-legged, his face ashen and his eyes blazing with anger.

He burst out of the Heavenly Gate and sped toward the Azure Heavenly River.

After Jinwu refined the treasure fan using the system panel, Dingguang completely lost the connection to that treasure. However, it was his object of enlightenment, and its loss naturally created karma.

Previously, when Jinwu used his Time-Traveling Divine Power to transcend the Three Realms and escape the Five Elements, he was momentarily disoriented.

But at this moment, the Golden Crow Dharma Form returned to this time. He immediately used cause and effect as a guide and unhesitatingly used his supernatural powers to charge towards the thief who had seized his treasure mountain.

"Whoever dares to steal my treasure for achieving enlightenment, I will make sure they die and their cultivation is extinguished."

Dingguang Bodhisattva was filled with rage and was truly shocked and furious. Even his unwavering Dao heart trembled slightly.

That precious fan was extremely important to him, as it was related to his future path to becoming a Golden Immortal. Now that he had lost it, he was heartbroken.

All the planning and accumulation of the past thousands of years have vanished into thin air.

His hasty and flustered actions naturally alarmed many of the immortals and gods along the way.

Many people were curious as they watched this Buddhist bodhisattva, his anger blazing and his aura incredibly powerful, plunge headlong into the Azure Heaven River.

"Isn't that Dipankara Bodhisattva?"

"This person has never participated in the competition for the Heavenly Ranking Godhood. Who has offended him to make this Buddhist Bodhisattva so angry?"

"Judging from the direction, they're heading towards Tianhe."

Many busybodies followed behind Dingguang Bodhisattva towards the Azure Heaven River, wanting to join in the fun.

Now that the Heavenly Court has three separate lists, there are too many immortals and gods around the Heavenly Gate.

Naturally, there are many people who want to watch the game.

Even some people with ulterior motives secretly followed them.

Seeing the streak of light from Dingguang Bodhisattva rushing towards him, Jinwu smiled and said, "At this speed, he will arrive in about half a cup of tea's time."

"Half a cup of tea is enough."

He withdrew his gaze, a surge of indescribable pride welling up within him.

After awakening the Time-Traveling Divine Power, he can break through to the Great Saint realm in one fell swoop. At that time, all his divine powers and methods will be enhanced, and killing Ding Guang will be as easy as slaughtering a dog.

"Once I break through, how many below the Golden Immortal level would dare to contend with me?"

Jinwu laughed loudly, and then without hesitation, sat cross-legged in the Azure Heaven River, his body surrounded by the golden light of the sun, like a rising sun.

He raised his eyes to look at the Mars Palace, and a silver light appeared deep in his pupils. It was a gift from the Time-Traveling Divine Power, which allowed him to vaguely see through layers of the sky and glimpse the trajectories of the stars in the darkness.

"The fourth heaven..." The Golden Crow sensed the current position of its own star.

He had previously used the opportunity of awakening his Golden Crow bloodline to break through the shackles of the Lower Three Heavens and ignite his natal star in the Azure Heaven. At that time, his foundation was still shallow, and it was already difficult for him to stand in the Fourth Heaven. However, compared with the many ancient stars floating in the Milky Way, he was ultimately weak.

"But things are different now."

His gaze sharpened, and his aura suddenly surged.

After awakening the power of time travel, he looked down upon all living beings from the river of time. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, it caused a qualitative leap in his cultivation.

That experience of transcending time and seeing through the past and present allowed him to reach an unprecedented level of understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

"Today, let me see just how far I can go in these nine heavens."

Jinwu took a deep breath and then closed his eyes.

The next moment...

boom!
The natal star that adorned the fourth heaven suddenly trembled violently, bursting forth with incomparably intense and dazzling golden flames.

The flames were no ordinary fire, but a fusion of the sun's true fire and the power of time, presenting a magnificent golden-silver hue. As the flames surged, fragments of time seemed to flow within them, as if every wisp of fire was burning through the years.

"Wow!"

A clear, melodious cry of a crow echoed through the azure sky.

The Golden Crow's true form suddenly expanded, transforming into a gigantic bird thousands of feet tall, its wings spreading out to blot out the Milky Way. On its wings, countless profound incantations moved, collided, and recombined like living things, each incantation containing the Dao and Dharma that it had comprehended throughout its life.

"Golden light soars into the nine heavens, and the great sun returns to the sky."

"Sooner or later, I will evolve my own star into the sun and become the true lord of all stars."

The golden crow's eyes flashed like lightning, and its body transformed into a golden ray of light as it charged wildly toward the location of the Mars Palace, stirring up monstrous waves in the Milky Way.

Such unbridled and reckless behavior in the Milky Way is truly a rare sight indeed.

At the same time, his natal star suddenly trembled, trailing a long golden tail of flame, and shot up from the fourth heaven.

Rumble!
The Milky Way is boiling.

The surging river, formed from the boundless starlight and laws, which had been flowing calmly, now surged like an enraged dragon, creating towering waves that crashed against the golden stars flowing upstream.

The waters of the Milky Way, each drop as heavy as a mountain, each ray of starlight enough to crush an ordinary immortal. Countless stars and sediments rise and fall within it, forming a natural barrier that blocks anything that attempts to flow against the current.

However, the planet Mars, which had been dormant in the fourth heaven for a long time, was burning with flames, like a red flag fluttering in the wind. Wherever it passed, the waters of the Milky Way naturally retreated.

Those starlight principles that were powerful enough to crush even true immortals actually hissed and melted instantly when they touched the flames surrounding the stars, just like ice and snow meeting fire.

"Come!!"

The Golden Crow's true form stirred up monstrous waves in the Milky Way, and then rushed to the location of Mars in just a few breaths.

The two forces, one above and one below, collided suddenly, like a comet striking the moon.

Rumble!
The Golden Crow merged with the stars, unleashing a deafening Daoist sound.

"Hahaha, charge!"

The moment the Golden Crow's true form merged with Mars, the entire Azure Heaven trembled violently.

In that instant, it was as if two great suns exploded at the same time, or as if hundreds of volcanoes erupted simultaneously.

Golden flames shot into the sky, illuminating the Milky Way for thousands of miles around with a brilliant glow. The light was so intense that even the countless stars floating in the Milky Way paled in comparison and retreated in fear.

Mars has changed.

Although this star was brilliant, it was ultimately only a star of the fourth heaven, appearing thin and immature compared to the ancient stars that were high above.

But at this moment, as the Golden Crow's true form merged into it, Mars suddenly expanded, its volume increasing more than tenfold.

On the surface of the star, the crimson fire of the Firefly that had been burning was now completely replaced by the true fire of the sun. The flames were pure gold, yet a faint silver glow flowed at the edges, a manifestation of the power of time brought about by the Time-Traveling Divine Power.

As the flames surged, countless profound incantations emerged from them.

Some of those incantations are the original Daoist rhymes of the true fire of the sun, some are the calamity laws of the power of Mars, and some are fragments of time interwoven by the gods of time and the future.

They intertwine, collide, and merge, eventually coalescing into new incantations that weave together in every corner of the stars, forming this incredibly vast planet Mars.

Above the stars, the phantom of a three-legged golden crow slowly emerged.

The phantom was enormous, almost covering the entire star.

It spreads its wings and soars high, circling and dancing on the surface of the stars. With each flap of its wings, endless light falls; with each cry, towering flames erupt.

The golden crow's appearance exuded a chilling aura, as if the true son of the sun had descended to earth.

"Wow!"

A clear and stirring cry of a crow resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

That was the sound of the Dao emitted at the moment when the Golden Crow and the stars completely merged.

The sound pierced through the Milky Way, through the Nine Heavens, through the Lingxiao Palace, and even faintly touched the long river of time in the darkness.

Wherever the sound passed, the waters of the Milky Way parted automatically, as if paying homage to their king; the floating stars trembled and emitted a series of submissive hums; even the ancient stars of the three highest heavens seemed to shimmer slightly, as if watching this newly born, brilliant star.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The crow's loud laughter echoed throughout the Milky Way.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of power.

His magical power surged within him like a mighty river, flowing endlessly; the true fire of the sun burned in his blood, burning away all the filth that dared to approach; the supernatural power to traverse time flowed through his soul, keeping him in a mysterious state that transcended the order of time.

"Break through the fifth level!"

With a thought, Jinwu sent the transformed planet Mars soaring into the sky.

Rumble!
The Milky Way was in complete uproar.

The golden star, trailing a long, fiery tail, rushed wildly towards the higher reaches of the sky, against the direction of the surging Milky Way.

Wherever it passed, the starlight and river water were evaporated into a sky full of mist, the stars and sand were smashed into dust, and countless restrictions interwoven with laws were torn apart as if they were made of paper.

The Fifth Heaven!

That was a higher point in the Azure Heaven, where the pressure of the Milky Way was more than ten times greater than in the Fourth Heaven. The vast, surging river of starlight almost solidified, transforming into flowing crystalline walls that stretched out before them.

However, the star did not stop.

It was like a true, blazing sun, crashing violently into the crystal wall with the force to scorch the heavens and boil the seas. (End of Chapter)
