Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Wu Tian's mind was like a clear mirror, reflecting all directions. In that mirror, the shape of the star map gradually became clear, and the essence of the starlight chains gradually emerged.

"Using starlight to carry cause and effect, and using the constellations of the heavens to deduce destiny, this lineage of Taoist practices is truly terrifying!"

Although he had previously received the inheritance of the three Golden Immortals of Taiqing Temple, such Taoist magic and supernatural powers, without personally cultivating to a high level, are like the moon in the water or flowers in the mist, only able to scratch the surface and unable to understand their fundamental mysteries.

At this moment, Wu Tian was suppressed by the star map and bound by starlight chains. In addition, he already had the inheritance of this forbidden technique, so he felt that he had gained a lot.

He slowly opened his eyes, and his pupils shone with an incomparably dazzling golden light.

That golden light was not the light of magic, but the light of the soul.

The purest of mental wills transformed the illusory into reality, shooting straight into the sky like golden light.

boom!!

Wu Tian's Long-Armed Divine Ape form had already reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao of Wishes. Coupled with the insane fighting spirit of conquering heaven and earth and defying all living beings that he had comprehended after mastering the Xing Tian Golden Spear, he now possessed a terrifying power that could change the world with a single thought.

Golden light burst forth from his eyes, shooting straight into the sky.

Wherever it passed, the starlight faded, the chains trembled, and even the star map began to shake violently.

"You, Jiang Shu, think you can control my fate and destiny?"

Wu Tian's voice boomed in the void, like thunder, like the collapse of the sky.

"You deserve it too?!"

He spoke each word slowly and deliberately, his voice resounding throughout the heavens.

"No star can block my view!"

He raised his left foot and stomped down hard, shattering the starlight chains beneath his feet.

"Cause and effect cannot bind me!"

He straightened his back, and the chains binding him creaked and cracked.

"Fate cannot stand still for me!"

He strode forward, and with each step he took, chains broke and starlight shattered.

"I, Wu Tian, ​​have always been lawless!"

His voice grew louder, wilder, and more domineering, like a lawless demon declaring war on heaven and earth, on fate.

"What can you, a mere Taiqing Daoist, do to me?!"

The moment he finished speaking, Wu Tian's entire body burst into brilliant flames.

That was a flame formed from his spiritual will, a manifestation of all his beliefs, all his will, and all his indomitable spirit throughout his cultivation. The flame was as blazing as fire and as brilliant as the sun, enveloping his entire body, even the starlight chains on his body were scorched and crackled by the flame.

Within the flames, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Monkey King's Staff) was also undergoing changes.

The long staff, gleaming with golden light, shone even brighter under the glow. Countless fine lines lit up on its surface, marking the imprint of the Great Dao of Auspiciousness, the inscriptions of Xing Tian's Golden Spear, and the condensation of all the Dao and principles Wu Tian had cultivated to this day.

He gripped the golden cudgel, held it with both hands, and roared to the sky.

"Break!"

The golden cudgel grew taller with the wind, instantly transforming into a giant pillar thousands of feet tall, radiating golden light and soaring straight into the sky.

With a single swing of the staff, the world changed color.

The charlatan crashed down with unparalleled force.

In an instant, the star map that Jiang Shu had condensed was torn apart, the stars were crushed, the void collapsed, and chaos surged.

The golden cudgel was like a pillar supporting the sky, sweeping across the starry sky. Wherever it passed, the stars exploded like fireworks, turning into a rain of light that fell from the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
One star after another exploded under the golden cudgel, and piece after piece of the starry sky collapsed under its power. The star map trembled violently, its starlight dimmed, and its incantations disintegrated, as if it were about to shatter completely at any moment.

Wu Tian fought with increasing ferocity and ferocity. The golden cudgel in his hands was like a giant dragon awakening, frantically attacking the star map.

"Again!!"

He held the stick with both hands and slammed it down towards the center of the star map.

boom!!!
It was accompanied by a deafening roar, as if the world had just been created.

The star map could no longer withstand such violent power, and a huge crack split open in the center, spreading in all directions like a spider web.

Starlight poured out from the crack like a waterfall, like a torrent.

Then, the entire star map shattered with a deafening roar.

Countless starlight scattered across the sky, like a sky full of fireflies, beautiful yet desolate, gradually dissipating to reveal the original Jade Pool Grotto-heaven behind the star map.

Moonlight spilled across the lake, its surface shimmering, and the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms drifted in the night breeze.

Jiang Shu's figure materialized from the void.

He stood a hundred feet away, his plain white Taoist robe now had several cracks, his black hair was somewhat disheveled, with a few strands falling over his forehead, and his handsome face was a little pale.

There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the once-celebrated prince's expression finally turned serious, losing his previous composure and calmness.

But he didn't roar hysterically, nor did he display disbelief and madness after his supernatural powers were broken. Instead, his eyes were filled with the fighting spirit and joy of seeing a prey.

"I never expected that the Lord of Tongtian Palace would be able to block the inheritance of the three Golden Immortals of Taiqing Temple that I cultivate."

"Very well, you are qualified to be my opponent."

Jiang Shu raised his hand and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Wu Tian and smiled, with a genuine sense of appreciation.

"There are countless heroes in the Three Realms, but few can catch my eye."

"Those so-called old relics are all rotten and decaying. They boast of their profound cultivation and high level of Taoist practice, but in reality they are nothing more than corpse worms hiding from the passage of time. They are not worth mentioning at all."

“I can feel the vibrant energy and vitality in you, unlike those old codgers who are half-buried in the ground.”

"You are truly wonderful, worthy of my use of that supernatural power."

Wu Tian stood in the void, carrying the golden cudgel. His fur gleamed white in the moonlight, and his golden eyes, though still burning with fighting spirit, now held a hint of solemnity.

At this moment, Jiang Shu gave him a terrifying feeling. This man's Dao heart was extremely firm, and he had a terrifying will that could not be shaken even if the world collapsed.

This mental fortitude is more frightening than his supernatural powers.

"Truly worthy of being the number one person below the Golden Immortal level. Such a pure Dao heart, such terrifying supernatural powers. This person is indeed a formidable opponent."

Although he was on the opposing side, he couldn't help but admire the demeanor of this Taiqing Daozi.

The two stood high in the sky, not in a hurry to make a move.

Jiang Shu said calmly, "Over the years, I have diligently cultivated the three Golden Immortal inheritances of the sect, comprehending them day and night without daring to slack off."

“The Purple and Green Tushita True Method cultivates a thousand Tushita Purple and Green Lamps, the Supreme Refining Form Method cultivates the Supreme Purity Undying Immortal Light, and the Zhou Tian Star Constellation Forbidden Method cultivates to the level of observing stars in the palm of one’s hand.”

His voice was calm and composed, “But although the three great traditions are powerful, they are ultimately the methods of our predecessors. I, Jiang Shu, have never liked to pick up scraps of others’ wisdom in my cultivation.”

"So I integrated the three traditions, innovated and created a supernatural power of my own."

He raised his right hand, his index finger pointing upwards into the void.

"Wu Tian, ​​you are qualified to witness my supernatural power."

The moment he finished speaking, three golden lamps in the auspicious cloud above his head suddenly spun around, emitting a dazzling light.

Amidst the light, an ancient bell slowly emerged.

The ancient bell was over three zhang tall, and its entire body was bronze in color, with countless patterns engraved on its surface.

There are solemn images of immortals sitting on clouds, ferocious images of demons howling to the sky, and ferocious images of ancient beasts roaring across the heavens and earth...

Each image is so lifelike, it seems as if it might step out of the clock face at any moment.

Inside the ancient bell, there is a star map formed by the intertwining of stars, slowly rotating along an unpredictable trajectory.

The moment the ancient bell appeared, an indescribable, terrifying pressure spread out.

The entire Yaochi Cave was trembling, as if it could not withstand the pressure and would collapse at any moment.

Wu Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.

He could sense that the ancient bell contained an extremely terrifying power, even making him feel the danger of death.

"That bell..."

Even Jin's mother's expression turned serious. She flicked her long sleeves and subconsciously took a step forward, but then stopped.

Because at this moment, Shen Hongyu, who was standing next to her, suddenly reached out her slender hand and slowly pulled her arm.

"Sister, leave it to me!" Shen Hongyu stood beside her, a complex emotion flashing in her clear, cold eyes.

She looked at the ancient bell, then at Jiang Shu.

At this moment, the ancient bell hovered above Jiang Shu's head, slowly rotating.

As the ancient bell rises, the patterns on its surface become clearer and clearer, as if countless immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters are about to emerge from the bell and be resurrected. The celestial map on the inner wall transforms into a vast and magnificent Milky Way.

Just by looking at its power, one can tell how terrifying this supernatural ability is.

Once the bell tolls, it will be earth-shattering and the world will be turned upside down.

Jiang Shu raised his hand, about to activate the ancient bell.

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out.

"enough."

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present with crystal clarity.

Jiang Shu paused slightly.

He lowered his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Shen Hongyu stepped out from beside the Golden Mother, walking barefoot through the void, step by step toward this place.

The moonlight shone on her, making her red dress resemble a flowing flame, yet it was also tinged with a cool, silvery white by the moonlight.

Her long, black hair swayed gently in the wind as she slowly raised her right hand.

The Kunlun Mirror appeared in his palm.

The silvery-white mirror surface is as smooth as water, and the celestial patterns on the back of the mirror flow slowly under the moonlight, emitting a faint ethereal glow.

The celestial light was cool and gentle, like moonlight or frost, carrying a purity untouched by the mortal world.

The light shone from the mirror and locked onto Jiang Shu.

The mirror's light, though seemingly gentle, caused Jiang Shu's brows to furrow suddenly.

“Jiang Shu,” Shen Hongyu said, her voice clear and melodious like a mountain stream, “My mind is made up, and no one can stop me.”

"With this mirror, even if you have extraordinary magical powers, it will be enough to hold you off for three days."

"These three days are enough for me!"

Shen Hongyu stepped out from beside the Golden Mother, walking barefoot through the void, step by step toward this place.

Her long, black hair swayed gently in the wind, a few strands brushing against her cheeks, making her already aloof face appear even more ethereal. The white jade hairpin in her hair gleamed warmly in the moonlight, the tassels at the tip swaying gently, making a soft rustling sound.

She raised her right hand, and the Kunlun Mirror in her palm slowly rotated.

The mirror's surface was as smooth as water, reflecting the starlight and the phantom of the ancient bell, yet it also shattered these reflections, making them as elusive as the passage of time.

The light shone from the mirror, cool and gentle, like moonlight falling on Jiang Shu, causing him to frown suddenly.

“Jiang Shu,” Shen Hongyu said, her voice clear and melodious like a mountain stream, unhurried and clear, “My mind is made up, and no one can stop me.”

She paused, her clear, cold eyes calmly looking at the man opposite her. "With this mirror, even if you possess extraordinary magical powers, it's enough to hold you off for three days."

Her voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

"Three days is enough for me."

Jiang Shu looked at her and remained silent for a moment.

The ancient bell above his head slowly rotated, and the gods and demons on the bell wall seemed to roar and howl. The celestial constellations on the inner wall moved endlessly along mysterious trajectories, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Yaochi Cave Heaven.

"Red Fish, why are you doing this?"

Jiang Shu spoke in a low voice, with a barely perceptible sigh, "Do you know that once this step is taken, there is no turning back? The Golden Immortal Path is not so easy to break through?"

He took a step forward, and the ancient bell above his head swayed slightly with his steps, emitting a deep hum.

"Throughout the Three Realms, there are countless powerful beings stuck at the stage of perfect immortality. Those who can take that half-step are already extremely rare. And who has truly stepped into the realm of golden immortal since ancient times?"

His gaze fell on Shen Hongyu's face, her clear eyes filled with sincerity.

"In your current state, forcing a breakthrough would be a near-certain death."

Shen Hongyu listened quietly, her expression unchanged.

The moonlight shone on her face, making her cool and aloof features even more distinct.

"I only seek this life, I do not believe in the afterlife."

Shen Hongyu spoke, her voice calm as still water, as if she were stating something utterly ordinary: "My life and death are in my own hands."

She slightly raised her chin, the curve both graceful and resolute.

"To die on the path of pursuing the Golden Immortal Path is to die without regret."

These words were spoken softly and calmly, without any grand pronouncements or passionate pronouncements. But it was precisely this calmness that sent a profound and lasting shock through everyone present.

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

That wasn't a momentary surge of passion, but rather a seeker's final judgment on his own destiny.

Standing below, Jin's mother's bright eyes flashed with a complex expression. She watched Shen Hongyu's retreating figure, her lips moving slightly, but ultimately she said nothing.

Wu Tian, ​​carrying the golden cudgel, stood in the void, his pure white fur gleaming faintly in the moonlight.

He gazed at Shen Hongyu, his golden eyes filled with admiration and praise. "She truly is the woman I've set my sights on. She's got real charm!"

Jiang Shu stared at Shen Hongyu for a long time.

Then, he sighed softly, a sigh that contained helplessness, regret, and an indescribable complexity.

But then he laughed.

“Red Fish, you really are the same kind of person as me.” His voice returned to calm and gentleness, his gaze clear and open. “Like me, you are a seeker of the Dao.”

He paused, then said in a calm tone, "In that case, you should understand that I will never give up."

"The Kunlun Mirror is of utmost importance to me, as it relates to my future attainment of enlightenment."

His voice was calm and honest, without any concealment or beating around the bush.

"My master and the others want me to use your Yin body to reach a higher level."

At this point, he shook his head slightly, a faint smile curving his lips, his expression carrying a hint of disdain and arrogance.

"But I, Jiang Shu, can obtain my own path from Heaven. Why should I seek it from a woman?"

These words were spoken softly, yet they carried a powerful weight.

His figure was exceptionally tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a perfect proportion. His handsome face remained gentle, yet it now exuded a pride that seemed to emanate from his very bones.

"Since you are so determined to pursue the Golden Immortal Path, even unto death, I can let you go."

He looked at Shen Hongyu with sincere and open eyes.

"Hand over the Kunlun Mirror and I'll turn and leave."

Upon hearing this, Jin's mother's expression immediately changed.

She took a sudden step forward, her crimson brocade robe fluttering in the wind, outlining her voluptuous and graceful figure. Her elegant and noble face was contorted with anger, her eyebrows raised, her phoenix eyes filled with arrogance.

"Jiang Shu, don't even think about it!"

Her voice was as cold as a knife, booming through the night sky.

But Jiang Shu didn't even glance at her.

His gaze remained fixed on Shen Hongyu, as if she were the only person in the world worthy of his attention.

"Red Fish, it's your decision."

His voice remained gentle, yet carried an undeniable weight: "Of course, you can also try and see if the Kunlun Mirror can hold me off for three days."

Others may not know, but you know me best.

A strong wind blew by, lifting his black hair and clothes.

Shen Hongyu held the Kunlun Mirror in her right hand, and the precious mirror slowly rotated in her palm, its light locking onto Jiang Shu opposite her.

She looked at Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu also looked at her.

The two stared at each other in silence. (End of Chapter)
