Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Blood rained down, and white flowers filled the sky.

Wu Tian stood in the void, holding the Devouring Heaven Bottle in his palm. The body of Guan Zizai inside the bottle had completely dissipated, leaving only a few wisps of faint Buddhist light flowing within the bottle.

The yellow gourd hanging from his waist looked quite ordinary.

As the Buddha disappeared without a word, a cold glint appeared in Wu Tian's eyes.

The reason he dared to kill Guan Zizai directly was because Huo Huang was right beside him, giving him confidence and allowing him to act without restraint.

Moreover, he actually wanted to have a brief exchange with the Buddha without any threat to his life, to test the other's strength.

After all, the gap between himself and the other party was too great, and their statuses were not equal. He had only heard of the Buddha's name, and he knew almost nothing about the path of cultivation, supernatural powers, and characteristics of the Golden Immortal.

No amount of attention can be too much for this mortal enemy.

If I could take advantage of the opportunity to fight Huo Huang while he was around and learn some of his secrets, it would be a good thing for me.

Unfortunately... the Buddha was so decisive.

Just as Wu Tian was gazing westward in thought, the Fire Phoenix beside him opened her mouth as if to say something, but swallowed the words back down.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, "You really are incredibly audacious."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Wu Tian looked at her and smiled slightly, "Isn't it because I have the God by my side? Of course I'm not afraid."

Fire Phoenix was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "You can't stay by my side forever. For a Golden Immortal, it's enough to see through the fog of the future and see the truth."

"He will find out as soon as you leave my side."

"At that time you will face Buddha in person."

"Although I can keep my eyes on you all the time, and I can block him countless times, if I make just one mistake, you will die."

"unless……"

She paused, her gaze becoming deep.

Wu Tian was now genuinely curious and asked, "Unless what?"

Fire Phoenix looked at him with a strange expression. "Unless you can withstand a blow from Shakyamuni without dying, then no matter how sudden his attack is, I can appear in time to block his subsequent attacks."

"If you could maintain the state you were in when you killed Guanyin, there might be a glimmer of hope."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian did not reveal his current situation, as this was his most fundamental secret. If outsiders knew, they could use it to target him in a targeted manner.

Although Fire Phoenix wouldn't need to go through so much trouble to deal with me, the fewer people who know about this secret, the better.

Although he has taken another half step beyond the Great Sage Perfection realm, his understanding of the Devouring Heaven Dao is still very superficial. He needs to go through extremely fierce battles before he can transform into the Devouring Heaven Dharma Body in the ultimate sublimation.

In this way, it would be too late to deal with the suppression of a Golden Immortal.

"If my understanding of the Devouring Heaven Dao advances further, I don't ask to be able to stay there permanently or for a longer period of time. I only ask to be able to activate it at any time, which will allow my strength to increase dramatically."

"It can also handle the big trouble that is Shakyamuni."

Although being targeted by Shakyamuni was indeed dangerous, Wu Tian did not regret it. The Buddha had not only caused him to be separated from his wife and children, but had even died once. Even Dingguang and Guanzizai had taken the initiative to come to his door to cause trouble.

If he chooses to back down out of fear, then all his cultivation and magical power will have been in vain.

"The simplest way to make the Devouring Heaven Path always available is to trigger the Devouring Heaven Body again and again, gradually explore its mysteries, and thus master the method to open it at any time."

"In other words... I need to fight, an extremely intense battle."

"That makes things simple..."

Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked the Fire Phoenix, "Your Majesty, when will the battle for the Heavenly Emperor begin?"

Huo Huang said, "Once the 365 divine positions are completely locked, the ranking competition will begin. The 365 gods will compete for ranking in the battlefield opened up by the Investiture of the Gods."

"Initially, the Investiture of the Gods would be ranked according to the potential and combat power of each god. After that, the gods could challenge those ranked higher than themselves at any time."

"This battle will last for ten years, after which the rankings will be locked in."

"The top five gods on the Investiture of the Gods will be appointed as Heavenly Kings."

"After that, the five Heavenly Kings will compete for the position of Heavenly Emperor."

She slowly extended her fair, jade-like palm, where countless dense incantations intertwined with firelight, illuminating various scenes.

"According to my calculations, it will take at most a little over a year to completely lock down the 365 divine positions and start the battle for the divine positions."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian immediately laughed and shamelessly said, "Then I'll stay by God's side for the next year or so."

"I doubt that old monk would dare to lay a hand on me in front of you."

Fire Phoenix was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him with her bright phoenix eyes, "I thought you would say that you are invincible and can definitely block Shakyamuni's attack."

"Or perhaps they want to use Buddha as a whetstone to hone their supernatural powers."

"I never expected you to be like this..."

She shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Wu Tian said with a grin, "Those hotheads usually die quickly, but I'm different. I plan before I act."

Fire Phoenix was too lazy to argue with this guy any further, and said, "It's not impossible for you to stay by my side."

"However, you can't stay too long. The longer you stay by my side, the more deeply you will be influenced by my own Dao."

"If this goes on for too long, you will never have another chance to break through to the Heavenly Emperor level."

Wu Tian nodded. He had already noticed what Huo Huang had said; the Great Dao on her body was perfect and flawless, even capable of creating the world.

This terrifying level of cultivation will subtly influence him, and over time, he will likely gradually move closer to the other party's path.

Just as all birds aspire to become phoenixes, all aquatic creatures and even beasts yearn to become true dragons…

This is not merely instinct, but rather the influence these two powerful Golden Immortals exert on all beings in the Three Realms through their own Great Dao and bloodline.

"Okay, a little over a year will be enough for me."

"When the battle for ranking on the Investiture of the Gods begins, surely that old monk won't attack me under the watchful eyes of the six Heavenly Lords?"

Fire Phoenix glanced at him. "Now you're scared? Too late."

"Okay, let's go!"

With that, she waved her hand and scattered a burst of fire that engulfed Wu Tian. Soon, the two of them disappeared from the spot.

"I wonder if this counts as us living together?!"

"If that brat Kong Lingxuan finds out...wouldn't he be furious...?"

Thinking of this, Wu Tian glanced at the beautiful woman beside him who was riding on a beam of light. She was slender, charming, and arousing; her figure was truly captivating.

"Female immortals are definitely more appealing!"

"The more powerful a female immortal is, the more beautiful she is."

Fire Phoenix had no idea about the chaotic thoughts in his mind. In the blink of an eye, the world spun around, and before long, they were in another world.

Wu Tian felt a blinding light before his eyes, and before he could recover, he heard a pleasant female voice in his ear.

"This is my Xuanhuang Heaven!"

"You will stay in this realm to cultivate for the rest of the time."

After a while, Wu Tiancai gradually saw the scene before him. He saw a vast and desolate land, with tall ancient trees everywhere, lush and green, like a green ocean.

On this vast land, birds and beasts roam everywhere.

But there was almost no sign of human activity. He glanced at the sky and saw only a glowing glow, with no sign of the sun or moon.

"Is this... the celestial realm she created with her own cultivation?"

"That is, one of the five great celestial realms—Huangtian."

……

Yaochi, Taizhen Palace.

The Queen Mother sat alone on her cloud bed, a bronze mirror floating before her. Within the mirror, light and shadow shifted, reflecting an earth-shattering battle.

As Jin Mu looked at the image in the mirror, her slender fingers tightened slightly.

She witnessed firsthand how the Pleiades Star Lord chased and killed Guanyin.

I saw Avalokiteshvara being suppressed.

The commotion caused by the battle between the two was so great that a powerful figure like her noticed it immediately and turned her attention to the battlefield.

However, the outcome was beyond her expectations.

Even when the Buddha himself intervened, he could not save Avalokiteshvara.

Accompanied by that dazzling flash of light...

Click!

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the precious mirror in front of the Queen Mother of the West, and then it fell to the ground with a thud, losing all its spiritual light.

The blade's light even severed all the spying spells and supernatural powers, destroying the spiritual energy of the treasures she used to spy on the great battle.

The Queen Mother of the West was utterly astonished. Although the precious mirror was destroyed, she still saw the last scene.

I saw the head that had been severed by a flying knife.

That's Avalokiteshvara!
Inside the Taizhen Hall, all was silent.

The Golden Mother sat alone on the cloud bed, an unprecedented solemnity appearing on her dignified and noble face. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her slender fingers tapped gently on the armrest of the cloud bed, producing a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.

Today she wore a light purple Taoist robe, loose-fitting yet unable to conceal her voluptuous and graceful figure. Her long, black hair was pulled up high, revealing her slender, fair neck, with a few strands falling beside her ears, swaying gently with her breath.

At this moment, her gaze was deep and complex.

"The Star Lord of the Rabbit Day..."

She murmured, her voice barely audible, like a sigh in the wind.

"Just who is this person?"

She recalled the earth-shattering battle in the mirror, and the terrifying scene of the golden crow undergoing its ultimate sublimation in the face of adversity, transforming from the path of the Great Sun's Light into the path of devouring the heavens.

The blade light that severed Avalokiteshvara's head still echoes in her heart.

"This person's strength is already above mine."

Jin's mother closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Her cultivation, her supernatural powers, and her foundation were already among the best in the Three Realms. Yet, facing the Golden Crow capable of slaying Guanyin, she had no confidence whatsoever.

"The Investiture of the Gods is about to be released, and the throne of the Heavenly Emperor will be coveted by all three realms." She opened her eyes, her gaze sharpening. "Originally, I thought my biggest rival was Jiang Shu."

"But now..."

She paused, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.

"Another near-invincible being has been added."

Although she has Jade Void Celestial Venerable to rely on, she needs to fight for the position of Heavenly Emperor herself.

But now, there is an additional Mao Ri Xingjun (卯日星君).

That golden crow, capable of slaying Guanyin, was like a mountain, blocking the end of her path to the Heavenly Emperor.

"Time waits for no one!"

The Golden Mother stood up, her purple Taoist robe fluttering gently with her movements, the hem trailing on the ground like a flowing purple cloud. She walked to the palace gate, pushed open the door, and gazed into the distance.

Outside the hall, celestial mist swirled and auspicious vapors rose.

In the direction of the ancient peach tree, a faint glow of rosy light seemed to emanate.

"We can't delay any longer."

She turned around, walked to the table, and took out a golden scroll. The scroll was no more than a foot square, entirely golden, with densely packed incantations flowing across it. She picked up a vermilion brush and began to write on the scroll.

His brushstrokes flow like dragons and snakes, every word a gem.

After writing, she folded the calligraphy scroll and waved it. The scroll transformed into a golden light, piercing through the dome of the Taizhen Palace, passing through the barrier of the Yaochi Grotto, and speeding eastward.

After doing all this, Queen Mother sat back down on her cloud bed.

Her face was calm as still water, but deep in her eyes, there was an undisguised urgency.

"The Long-Armed Divine Ape... I hope you won't disappoint me."

……

Tongtianfu.

Inside the newly built main hall, Wu Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze returning from looking at the sky.

The great battle between the Golden Crow Dharma Image and Avalokiteshvara shocked the Three Realms, and even he could sense the immense commotion here in the Western Sea.

He only withdrew his gaze after the Golden Crow Dharma Image and the Lord of Yellow Heaven had left.

"Buddhism... ah..."

"Sooner or later, I will settle accounts with you all!"

Just then, a golden light flew down from the sky, passed through the restrictions of the Tongtian Palace, and landed in his palm.

It was a golden calligraphy scroll.

Wu Tian unfolded the calligraphy scroll and glanced at it.

The calligraphy on the scroll was elegant yet powerful, the very handwriting of the Queen Mother of the West. The message was simple: she invited him to the Jade Pool for a meeting, as there was important business to discuss.

After reading it, Wu Tian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"It seems that the Queen Mother of the West is getting restless after seeing the battle between the Golden Crow and Guanyin."

He tucked the calligraphy scroll into his sleeve and paced around the hall for a few steps.

Transformed into the Long-Armed Divine Ape, every hair on his body was as white as jade, each hair flowing with a clear radiance. His steps were unhurried and steady, each step powerful and firm, as if he were stepping on the nodes of the laws of heaven and earth.

"This is pressure for her."

He stopped and turned to look westward, towards the direction of Yaochi. A smile flickered in his golden eyes, a smile that carried a hint of amusement and shrewdness.

"But for me, it's a good thing."

"The more anxious she is, the more benefits she is willing to give up."

"In that case, let's go and meet her."

Wu Tian walked out of the main hall, instructed General Shenkun and Li Xuanba to keep an eye on the affairs of the mansion, and then turned to leave.

With each step, a somersault cloud appeared beneath his feet.

Golden auspicious clouds carried him soaring into the sky, piercing through layers of void, and hurtling towards the Jade Pool. (End of Chapter)
