Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Jinwu felt an immense crisis looming over his heart. His Time-Traveling Divine Power trembled and hummed wildly. With just a slight sense, he perceived a huge crisis from the future.

That was a danger that could kill him.

A chill ran from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, and Jinwu's face instantly turned ashen. Without the slightest hesitation, he flipped his right hand, and the first-level Xuanhuang Pagoda in his palm suddenly flew out.

The pagoda swelled the moment it left my hand, rising in the wind.

One foot, one zhang, ten zhang, one hundred zhang, one thousand zhang...

In the blink of an eye, the Xuanhuang Pagoda transformed into a colossal tower thousands of feet tall, its entire body shimmering with Xuanhuang light, exquisitely crafted on all eight sides, brimming with auspicious energy, like a divine mountain descending from the heavens, falling straight down to the eighth heaven.

Wherever the Xuanhuang Pagoda passed, the void trembled, the sky collapsed, and it plunged into the Starry Sea. The starlight and tides automatically parted, and countless stars retreated.

After the Xuanhuang Pagoda descended into the eighth heaven, it spun around, and a vortex seemed to grow at the bottom of the pagoda, swallowing everything like an abyss.

boom!!

The Pleiades, which was infinitely close to the ninth heaven, shone with an incomparably dazzling light. The faint sound of a golden crow could be heard, and brilliant flames shot into the sky, illuminating the starry sky like a red flag.

This ancient star not only did not resist in the slightest, but instead roared and spun, actively rushing towards the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Xuanhuang Pagoda is the Golden Crow's natal artifact, while the Pleiades is its natal star. The two work together to make everything fall into place.

As the Pleiades approached the bottom of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, it continuously shrank and became smaller. By the time it entered the vortex at the bottom of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, it had fallen into it like a marble.

The Xuanhuang Pagoda spun rapidly, stirring up towering waves in the Starry Sea. Then, it suddenly burst forth with divine light, transforming into the size of a palm and leaving a rainbow trail in the void as it sped towards Xuanhuang Heaven.

Seeing that the Xuanhuang Pagoda had taken away the Pleiades Star, Jinwu breathed a slight sigh of relief. The reason he did not take action himself was because he sensed an immense crisis.

The ability to traverse time allows him to glimpse the future to some extent. Although he did not see where the danger came from, he had already sensed a terrifying crisis that could lead to his death.

Without a doubt, if even with his supernatural powers he couldn't see the source of the danger, then the other party must be a Golden Immortal.

He immediately set his sights on the Buddha.

Therefore, Jinwu decisively used the Xuanhuang Pagoda to take away the Pleiades.

It should be understood that the Pleiades is not only his natal star, but also contains his true form and the Dharma image of Hou Yi. If it falls into the hands of the Buddha, it will be an unbearable loss.

Since faking his death and escaping, almost all of his accumulated wealth is about to collapse.

This is something he absolutely cannot accept.

As the Xuanhuang Pagoda rapidly flew towards Xuanhuang Heaven, getting closer and closer to him, he felt a tightness in his heart and a sense of unease.

Sure enough, before the Xuanhuang Pagoda could break out of the Starry Sea, a Buddha's palm descended from the sky.

The Buddha's palm was enormous, its five fingers like mountains, with a swastika-shaped Buddhist seal flowing within its center, radiating Buddhist light and filled with chanting. It pierced through layers of heavens and void, ignoring the Sea of ​​Stars, and landed on the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

Bring your five fingers together.

The Xuanhuang Pagoda was taken into the palm of that Buddha's hand, as if picking up a grain of dust.

Jinwu's expression changed drastically.

The Buddha's palm strike, seemingly casual, had struck at his Achilles' heel. Once the Xuanhuang Pagoda was taken by the Buddha, and the original Buddha and Hou Yi's Dharma Image fell into Buddhist hands, all his plans would be in vain.

Jinwu took a deep breath, suppressing his shock and anger, bowed respectfully, and spoke loudly.

"Please God, save me."

His voice echoed throughout the heavens.

A flash of fire, and Chi Xiao appeared beside him.

She wore a long, dark yellow robe, her long hair was tied up high, and a phoenix hairpin was inserted at an angle. Her beautiful face had a hint of a smile that was not quite a smile.

"You only remembered me now?"

Her voice was cool and languid, with a hint of teasing.

But even as she spoke, she had already made a move.

A slender, jade-like hand reached out, passing through the Xuanhuang Heaven, crossing the Heavenly Court, and falling straight into the Starry Sea.

The moment that jade hand reached out, it grew longer in the wind, and soon its five fingers were like five pillars supporting the sky, with mysterious yellow energy swirling around each joint and firelight flowing at the fingertips.

boom!!

Jade hands and Buddha's palms collided in the sky above the Sea of ​​Stars.

In that instant, billions of stars trembled simultaneously. Countless stars deviated from their orbits under the impact of that terrifying force, colliding with each other and exploding into bursts of dazzling light.

A colossal wave surged in the Starry Sea, the seawater formed by the condensation of starlight and magic surged wildly, forming towering star waves that swept in all directions.

In the azure sky beneath the starry heavens, the mighty Milky Way ceased its flow at this moment.

The upstream river was forced to stop by that force, and the downstream riverbed dried up instantly, revealing countless stars and silt that had been sleeping for thousands of years on the riverbed.

"Buddha, you really are still up to your old tricks, provoking me again and again."

Chi Xiao spoke, her voice shaking the heavens, her beautiful eyes filled with icy coldness.

"Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Before she finished speaking, she took a step forward, about to leave the Xuanhuang Heavenly Realm and head to the Starry Sea herself.

However, she stopped after taking just one step.

A beam of clear light descended from the east, landing in front of her and transforming into a figure.

He was a Taoist priest with a slender face, dressed in a simple and plain blue Taoist robe, yet he exuded a Taoist aura that seemed to embody the vastness of the heavens and the earth.

His gaze was calm as still water, and he stood there like an insurmountable mountain, blocking Chi Xiao's path.

Chi Xiao's expression changed instantly, her delicate eyebrows raised, and a look of seriousness flashed in her beautiful eyes. "Yu Xu, what do you mean by this?"

Jade Void Celestial Venerable looked at her, his expression indifferent, his tone calm, "Chi Xiao, the one who jumped out of the River of Time that day, was it Pleiades Star Lord?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiao's heart sank.

Although she knew long ago that it couldn't be kept secret for long, she didn't expect these old guys to lock onto their target so quickly.

But of course, she couldn't admit it.

“Lord Pleiades is a member of my bird clan.” Her voice was cold and steady, with a hint of annoyance. “He had a grudge against Buddhism, which is why the Buddha repeatedly tried to suppress him.”

"This is my entanglement with Buddhism."

"What is your intention in interfering, Jade Void?"

Her tone grew colder and colder.

"As for the claim that the Pleiades Star Lord comprehended the secrets of time, that's utter nonsense. If he had such talent, he would have already attained the Golden Immortal realm. Why would he be repeatedly oppressed by the Buddha?"

She took a step forward, her long dress fluttering in the wind.

"Get out of my way!"

Jade Void Celestial Venerable remained unmoved, standing there as if a stake driven into the void.

"Chixiao, neither of us are three-year-olds, why bother with these useless words?"

His voice was indifferent and calm, with a condescending composure, "Shen Hongyu perished that day, but the river of time suddenly changed. You arrived before the five of us, and you tried every means to cover it up."

He paused, his deep eyes staring directly at Chi Xiao.

"It is clear that the being who comprehended the passage of time must be related to you." "And the being you value so highly and repeatedly protect."

His lips curled slightly, revealing a half-smile.

"Who else could it be but the Pleiades Star Lord?"

Chi Xiao's expression turned completely grim.

Jade Void Celestial Venerable continued, "If the Three Realms were to have one more Golden Immortal, it would inevitably affect the overall situation. The six of us made a pact years ago to jointly govern the Three Realms and explore the secrets of the Heavenly Emperor. Now, someone wants to break this balance..."

His voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "I will absolutely not agree."

"Chixiao, hand over the Pleiades Star Lord."

Chi Xiao was so angry that he laughed instead. Just as he was about to speak, a burst of Buddhist light suddenly appeared in the western sky.

The Buddha withdrew his palm from the Sea of ​​Stars, holding the Xuanhuang Pagoda in his hand. He stepped on the Milky Way and ascended to the highest heavens. Buddha's light cleared the way, chanting filled the sky, and countless golden lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, paving a golden road leading to the Xuanhuang Heaven.

His figure appeared in the western part of Xuanhuang Heaven, with a compassionate face, profound eyes, and a halo like the moon behind his head, illuminating the ten directions of the world.

"Chixiao, hand over the Pleiades Star Lord."

His voice was calm and resonant, yet it carried an undeniable power.

Chi Xiao's face turned ashen, and just as he was about to speak, a clear light descended from the east.

The clear light was as gentle as water, as pure as if it had been washed clean, like the first ray of light that separated from chaos at the beginning of time. Within the clear light, a figure slowly emerged.

It was an old man with an ancient face, wearing a red Taoist robe, with purple aura swirling behind him, ten thousand golden lotuses, a thousand golden lamps, and magical power hanging down like a necklace.

His gaze was peaceful and profound, with a faint smile on his lips. He looked kind and gentle, like an elder in the neighborhood.

But the moment he appeared, the entire world fell silent.

The Great Red Lord.

He stood there, saying nothing, simply watching Chixiao silently.

The three Heavenly Lords sealed off the east, west, and north of Xuanhuang Heaven.

Chi Xiao surveyed the surroundings, his face turning ashen.

Just as she was about to speak, another ancient laugh rang out from the Northwest Continent. A colossal creature flapped its wings and took flight, instantly landing outside the Xuanhuang Heaven, transforming into an old man with wings on his back.

He was tall and imposing, with a domineering aura. Countless ancient incantations flowed on his divine wings. His face was old and majestic, and his sharp gaze, like that of a hawk, fell upon Chi Xiao.

Chi Xiao looked around at the four Heavenly Lords who had completely sealed off Xuanhuang Heaven, and laughed in extreme anger.

"Good good."

She said "good" three times in a row, her voice as cold as ice, booming in the void.

"You four, how dare you force me like this?"

Her gaze swept from the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable to the Jade Void Heavenly Venerable, from the Buddha to the Kunpeng, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

"Are they taking me for a fool?"

Her phoenix eyes were fixed on Kunpeng, her voice cold and angry.

“Kunpeng, the Buddhist and Taoist sects are forcing me, which shows their wolfish ambitions and deserve to be punished.”

"Yet you came to my door and acted so aggressively, it was utterly foolish."

She took a step forward, her clothes fluttering, and flames shot into the sky around her.

“Jiang Shu of the Daoist sect is about to break through to the Golden Immortal realm at any time and also wants to seize the position of the Heavenly Emperor. His sinister intentions are obvious. Why don’t you take action?”

"You're not joining forces with me to fight against the Daoist sect, but instead trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin. You've simply lost your mind."

Her voice grew colder and colder.

"Aren't you afraid that the day when Buddhism and Taoism joined forces to attack the Northwest will be repeated? Aren't you afraid that you will be forced by Buddhism and Taoism to the point that you have no place to stand in the Three Realms?"

She gave a cold laugh, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"It's utterly stupid and ridiculously overestimating itself."

Despite her angry rebuke, Kunpeng remained unfazed, still smiling as if he wasn't the one being scolded.

"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Chixiao would be so well hidden."

His voice carried a hint of emotion as he said, "They actually nurtured a prodigy with the potential of a Golden Immortal without making a sound."

He paused, his sharp eyes fixed on Chi Xiao, and the smile on his lips deepened.

“Nowadays, the Northwest is barren, and there are very few demon gods to compete for on the Investiture of the Gods list. If you are willing to let him become my disciple, I can join you in blocking these wicked people.”

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiao sneered and did not reply, instead turning his gaze to the East Sea.

"Azure Dragon, what is your intention?"

"Are we just going to sit idly by and do nothing?"

"Today I am you, but tomorrow you may be one of my dragons."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sigh came from the depths of the East China Sea.

The sigh was deep and long, like thunder from ancient times, carrying an indescribable sense of vicissitude.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal creature flipped over on the seabed.

Rumble!
The East China Sea boiled, with towering waves surging into the sky, sending countless drops of seawater soaring upwards and transforming into a vast expanse of mist. From within the mist, a colossal azure dragon emerged from the seabed, its body stretching for thousands of miles, its scales shimmering, its horns sharp and imposing, and countless ancient incantations flowing across each scale.

A blue dragon soars into the sky, coiled above the East China Sea, its head held high.

A moment later, the ten-thousand-foot-long azure dragon transformed into a divine light and landed outside the Xuanhuang Heaven.

The blue light dissipated, revealing a middle-aged man.

He was nine feet tall, with an imposing presence. He had a pair of crystal-clear dragon horns on his head, a face as fair as jade, and eyes as bright as stars. As he stood there, wind and clouds accompanied him, and with each breath, mist rose and thunder appeared.

Azure Dragon glanced at Xuanhuang Heaven, which was surrounded by the four Heavenly Lords, and then at Chixiao, and sighed softly.

"Fellow Daoists, let's talk this out. Why escalate things to this point?"

Chi Xiao stepped forward, leaving the Xuanhuang Heaven. Above his head, a Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda with twenty-four layers appeared, its entire body radiating fire and exuding a murderous aura.

"I think they clearly treat the Three Realms as their own backyard, and they don't allow us to interfere. That's why they suppress dissidents and act like tyrants."

"Since we're already here, let's just mark out a path."

“These three realms were created by us together, not by your Buddhist and Taoist sects.”

"Why are you allowed to train the next generation of Golden Immortals, but we, the next generation, are not allowed to take that step?"

As she spoke, she grew increasingly enraged. The twenty-four-tiered Xuanhuang Pagoda unleashed countless streams of Xuanhuang energy, which rolled and churned, crushing the heavens.

"At worst, we'll fight. If you dare to touch him, I'll kill Jiang Shu."

"If we all part ways, no one will benefit."

Upon hearing this, the other gods were filled with divine light, their expressions uncertain.

Six terrifying auras intertwined, causing the entire world to tremble. The sun, moon, and stars dimmed, the Milky Way ceased to flow, and the void collapsed, as if the heavens and earth were about to crumble at any moment.

The atmosphere beyond the Xuanhuang Heaven was extremely tense. (End of Chapter)
