Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Click!
A sickening cracking sound rang out. The crystal wall, strong enough to trap even ordinary gods, was as fragile as thin ice before Mars.

The Golden Crow Dharma Form flapped its wings on Mars, and wherever the true fire of the sun passed, the crystal walls melted, evaporated, and dissipated; the star itself rolled forward, and the crystal walls shattered, collapsed, and annihilated.

Just three breaths!

This star, burning with flames like a blazing banner, shot straight into the sky and landed steadily in the fifth heaven. Its light was even more dazzling than before, and its aura was even more vast.

But for Jinwu today, this level of breakthrough is no burden at all.

"continue!"

The golden crow roared, and Mars stirred up monstrous waves in the Azure River, relentlessly charging towards the sixth heaven.

……

Meanwhile, outside the three Heavenly Gates of the Heavenly Court.

Countless immortals, Buddhas, and saints are watching, waiting, or resting. The battle for the Investiture of the Gods has lasted for many days, and many powerful figures have already emerged and occupied places on the list.

Just then...

boom!
A deafening roar echoed from the depths of the Azure River, causing the entire Heavenly Court to tremble slightly. Countless immortals and gods paled and simultaneously looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

"What's going on?!"

"What happened over at Tianhe?"

"What's all this commotion...? Which deities are having a magical duel?"

Some people exclaimed in surprise, while others were puzzled.

From the depths of the Azure River, a dazzling golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing through layers of heavenly palaces and stabbing straight into the Heavenly Court.

Immortals and Buddhas used their supernatural powers and divine eyes to vaguely see a star rushing straight towards the upper realm at an extremely terrifying speed.

"That's... someone lifting a star to break through?!"

"My god, which clan's expert is this? This commotion is too big!"

"Look at those flames, could they be from the Phoenix lineage?"

"No, the Phoenix Fire, though intense, is different from this. That flame contains the energy of the sun... Could it be... the Golden Crow?!"

"A golden crow?! Are you kidding me? Where in this world is there a golden crow?"

Discussions rose and fell, and countless immortals and gods stared wide-eyed, trying to see the true face of the star.

The surface of the star was ablaze with flames, and within the flames, a three-legged divine bird circled and danced, radiating a chilling aura.

Among the crowd, Huo De Xingjun Kong Lingxuan had appeared outside the South Heavenly Gate at some point. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the golden pillar of light with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Good heavens, could it be that he's about to break through to the Great Sage realm in one fell swoop?"

He muttered to himself, "This person's cultivation speed is too fast. He's only been born for a short time, and he's already going to become a Great Sage? That's truly terrifying."

Not far away, a woman with fair skin and an ethereal air, bathed in moonlight, shone brightly in the eyes. "It's actually the Golden Crow? If Master knew, he would be overjoyed. Let's go take a look."

Thinking of this, she transformed into a ray of moonlight and headed towards the Azure Heaven River.

"Let's go! Let's go check out Tianhe!"

"Even the Silver Moon Fairy is going; how can we miss such a grand event?"

"The Golden Crow is born and breaks through to the Great Sage realm. If I could witness this with my own eyes, I could brag about it for three thousand years!"

In an instant, countless streaks of light flew up from outside the Heavenly Gate, surging towards the direction of the Azure Heavenly River.

……

At this moment, Dingguang Bodhisattva, who rushed into the Milky Way, naturally also saw the pillar of light soaring into the sky.

He abruptly stopped his escape, his pupils shrinking sharply.

That rising star, the three-legged divine bird circling and dancing on its surface, the blazing true fire of the sun...

He knew it all too well.

"It's that golden crow!"

Dingguang Bodhisattva's face instantly turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with fury that seemed about to burst forth. He immediately sensed that this guy had stolen his means of enlightenment.

He stared intently at the beam of light, gritting his teeth as he spoke, each word deliberate and forceful.

So it was you, you wicked beast!

He never imagined that the thief who stole his precious fan was actually the Golden Crow who had escaped right under his nose last time.

New and old grudges surged into my heart.

Last time in the Azure Heaven, this wicked beast killed two Arhats, Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger, causing him to lose face; this time, he stole his precious fan of enlightenment, ruining his chance to become a Golden Immortal.

Such deep-seated hatred—if this wicked beast isn't torn to pieces, how can the Bodhisattva Dingguang have any face to stand in the Three Realms?!
"Good, good, good!"

Dipankara Bodhisattva, enraged to the point of laughter, caused his body to radiate a wildly intense Buddhist light, forcing the surrounding celestial river waters to retreat a hundred miles.

"Even the Buddha has the wrath of the King of Hell. Today, this humble monk will subdue you, you fiend, and prevent you from harming the world again!"

The twelve-petaled lotus platform beneath his feet suddenly spun, transforming into a dazzling Buddhist light that rushed towards the direction of the golden pillar of light at an even faster speed than before.

……

Rumble!
Mars surged forward with unstoppable momentum, rising from the fifth heaven with the power to scorch the sky and boil the seas, hurtling toward the sixth heaven.

"Hahaha! That's great!"

The crow's loud laughter came from the depths of the stars, shaking the Milky Way and causing ripples to spread across its surface.

He could clearly feel that as Mars continued to rise, the resonance between Mars and the heavens and earth was deepening. The essence and authority of this star seemed to be gradually returning, causing his cultivation to improve rapidly.

Boo!
The cries of crows echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

In the next instant, Mars transformed into an extremely dazzling golden streak of light and crashed violently into the sixth heaven.

Rumble!
The power of the Milky Way in the sixth heaven surged wildly.

This place is near the top of the Azure Heaven; above that lies the Upper Three Heavens—the Starry Heaven.

The power of the Milky Way here is not only a convergence of the essence of stars and the laws of heaven and earth, but also faintly contains the aura of majesty and authority left behind by the illumination of those 365 ancient stars.

If an ordinary cultivator were to come to this place, even if they were at the peak of the True Immortal realm and wanted to break through to the Heavenly Realm, they would be suppressed by the ancient star authority. Those 365 ancient stars were almost equivalent to the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth.

The golden crow raises its head and looks up.

The seventh heaven is right before our eyes.

It was a chaotic boundary, beyond which one could vaguely see the vast and boundless Sea of ​​Stars. It was the boundary between the Upper Three Heavens and the Middle Three Heavens, the source from which the ancient star power flowed down.

Once he breaks through to the seventh heaven, he will become a true Great Sage, the most outstanding existence below the Golden Immortal level.

"When Mars returns to its rightful place, the time will come for the Great Sage to attain enlightenment."

The golden crow suddenly flapped its wings.

He directly used the Time-Treading Divine Power, and a mysterious aura emanated from his body. Although he did not jump directly out of the River of Time, the world before him had already changed.

Before him, the surging Azure River seemed to transform into an incomparably beautiful painting, every thread of the law's flow clearly visible. "This..."

The Golden Crow even had the illusion that the so-called Azure Heaven and the so-called Nine Heavens were actually just a painting.

He swayed slightly, but quickly regained his senses. Looking at the Milky Way before him and the oppressive aura descending from the Starry Sky, he felt as if ancient gods had splashed ink, unrestrained and bold.

"If this world is truly a painting, I wonder what kind of magnificent being created it."

The Golden Crow was filled with admiration, then flapped its wings and flew away. The Mars stopped its reckless charge and transformed into a streak of light, flying away in an incredibly mysterious trajectory. Although it was going against the current, it had the illusion of going with the wind and water.

Even the splashing waves of the Milky Way became his aid, and the starlight falling from the Starry Sky was like a gentle breeze. His posture as he charged towards the seventh heaven was extremely calm, even giving the impression of strolling leisurely.

As he approached the seventh heaven, the starlight falling from the upper three heavens vaguely transformed into an ancient star map, separating the sixth and seventh heavens and becoming a natural barrier that made countless immortals and Buddhas hesitate to tread.

Mars suddenly stalled in this region, its ascent halted.

An ancient star map emerged, containing the majesty and laws of 365 ancient stars, like a Dao artifact formed by heaven and earth, simple and natural, with immense power.

"Today I will see what this Starry Sky is really like!"

With a long roar, the Golden Crow caused Mars to tremble violently. Instead of stopping, it charged towards the Seventh Heaven with even greater ferocity.

Rumble!
The Milky Way was in complete uproar.

Mars, trailing a long, fiery tail, hurtled against the surging flow of the Milky Way, hurtling towards the higher reaches of the sky.

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.

"Break!"

The golden crow roared, and Mars transformed into an extremely dazzling golden streak, crashing fiercely into the star map.

On the star map, the phantom images of 365 ancient stars appeared, which were the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth. If you look closely, you will find that each phantom image of a star is woven from countless mysterious incantations.

The ancient star chart revolves, its celestial might overwhelming, suppressing all.

The three-legged golden crow roared to the sky, and the true fire of the sun and the power of time erupted simultaneously, transforming into an extremely dazzling flame that fiercely bombarded the star map.

However, the expected collision did not occur. Jinwu felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had used all his strength but missed his target.

With the blessing of the power of time, the star map was almost like a thin layer of paper, posing no obstacle to him at all, as if a light veil were brushing against his face.

Mars suddenly rushed across the star map, and with a rumbling sound, entered the seventh heaven—the Starry Sky.

hum!
In that instant, a subtle change occurred throughout the entire Three Realms.

The seventh heaven, the Starry Sky, is completely different from the Middle Three Heavens.

There is no vast, surging Milky Way, no drifting stars and silt, no turbulent tides interwoven with law and reason.

There is only endless emptiness.

In the void, three hundred and sixty-five ancient stars floated silently, slowly rotating along some mysterious trajectory.

Each ancient star is enormous, exuding an ancient and weathered aura. Suppressed here, connecting the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, it is the root of Heaven and Earth, the source of laws and principles.

Although some ancient stars may fall over countless years, the authority of heaven and earth represented by the stars will forever shine in the starry sky, never to fall.

The entire Starry Sky is also known as the Starry Sea, and the higher you go, the older the stars there are.

The vast majority of these stars are located on the outer edge of the Starry Sea, which is commonly known as the Seventh Heaven.

The eighth heaven consists of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, which are ancient stars that evolved into the Four Symbols Celestial Map and reside high above the Sea of ​​Stars.

The Ninth Heaven has always had only three stars.

They are respectively Ziwei Star, Taiyang Star, and Taiyin Star.

That place is also known as the Sun and Moon Heaven.

Among them, the Ziwei Star is the most special, because the Ziwei Star is not a real star, but a projection of the authority and power of the Heavenly Court, which to some extent represents the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor.

Therefore, the Ziwei star is also known as the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

At this moment, on the outskirts of this magnificent Starry Sea, a star burning with flames suddenly burst in.

hum!
A soft hum suddenly rang out in the void.

The sound was extremely soft and faint, as if it were just an illusion.

The Golden Crow suddenly looked up and felt as if a slight ripple had been stirred in the entire Starry Sea. Among the orbits of the 365 ancient stars, an ancient stellar authority seemed to be gradually approaching Mars.

"That is……"

The Golden Crow muttered to itself, then its pupils suddenly contracted, "The authority and laws of the ancient star Yinghuo?!"

Although he sensed the approach of Mars' authority, he could not see it with the naked eye, because it was the operation of the laws and authority of heaven and earth, not some kind of tangible existence.

So-called authority is invisible and intangible, yet it truly exists.

Since the ancient star Mars fell from the sky, its authority has remained in the heavens, illuminating the ages.

But at this moment, the authority belonging to Mars is approaching and merging with the natal star of the Golden Crow, a feeling that is incredibly mysterious.

hum!hum!hum!
The buzzing sound rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire Starry Sky.

That was the power of Mars sensing the return of Mars, awakening from its slumber, and converging towards this ancient star.

hum!
With power restored, Mars began to hum.

Jinwu clearly sensed an ancient and profound principle surging from the depths of the star. As time passed, countless principles intertwined, merged, and settled on the surface of the star, transforming into profound incantations.

The incantations intertwined to form a banner burning with raging flames, ancient, weathered, and profound...

That was the manifestation of the authority of the ancient star Yinghuo.

Jinwu felt that his cultivation level was increasing at an astonishing speed.

As those powers merged into Mars, his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, such as calamities, wars, and fire, increased at an astonishing rate.

The feeling was like a blind person suddenly opening their eyes and seeing the true face of the world!

Meanwhile, Mars itself is undergoing an astonishing transformation.

It began to expand.

On the surface of the stars, the incantations formed from the true fire of the sun intertwined with the newly incorporated incantations of authority, merging, colliding, and recombining with each other.

With each reassembly, the texture of the star becomes thicker, as if the vicissitudes of endless years are being etched into every corner of this star.

It began to grow old.

That kind of antiquity is not the antiquity accumulated over time, but the antiquity of legal principles.

Mars is transforming into a true ancient star.

Time passed slowly.

After an unknown period of time, when the last wisp of authority merged into Mars.

The other 364 ancient stars trembled simultaneously!
The starlight they emitted converged simultaneously in the direction of Mars. (End of Chapter)
