Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

In the instant Jiang Shu was stunned, Jin Mu's golden halberd had already struck down.

boom!
The golden spear slammed heavily onto the Heavenly Emperor Bell, producing a deafening roar.

Jiang Shu was struck by that terrifying force, causing him to stagger backward. The Heavenly Emperor Bell shook violently, and he staggered back a few steps, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and his brows furrowed sharply.

"wrong!"

"You are not Shen Hongyu."

Jiang Shu's voice returned to calm, tinged with a hint of coldness.

"who are you?"

At this moment, Jin's mother also stopped and turned her gaze to Shen Hongyu.

Shen Hongyu charged towards the Golden Immortal realm in front of all the immortals, Buddhas, and saints of the Three Realms. She died and her cultivation vanished, blood rained down from the sky, and the bright moon hung in the sky. This was a fact that everyone witnessed.

At this moment, someone appeared in her guise, which must be a sinister plot, and their intentions are despicable.

"Hmph, a cowardly coward." Mother Jin spoke coldly, her bright eyes filled with icy intent. "Do you also intend to tarnish Sister Hongyu's reputation?"

Jiang Shu and Jin's mother both immediately denied the other party's identity, concluding that the other party was an imposter.

Shen Hongyu remained calm and simply said, "Sister Jinmu, my purpose in coming here is only to kill Jiang Shu. I will explain the details to you later."

After saying that, she slowly raised her right hand, palm facing up.

"Kunlun".

As soon as the words were spoken, the Kunlun Mirror, which had been put away by the Golden Mother, suddenly trembled.

The silvery-white mirror suddenly lit up, and the celestial patterns on the back of the mirror flowed rapidly, emitting a dazzling silver light. The light was cold and brilliant, like frost and snow, soaring into the sky.

The next moment, the Kunlun Mirror transformed into a silver light, shooting out from the Golden Mother's sleeve and landing directly in Shen Hongyu's palm.

Jinmu's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

She subconsciously gripped the Xingtian Golden Spear in her hand, her gaze fixed on the precious mirror in Shen Hongyu's palm.

She didn't have time to refine the Kunlun Mirror, so she couldn't activate it.

But with just a soft call, the Kunlun Mirror flew into her hand.

Could it really be Shen Hongyu? Did she leave a backup plan, which is why she escaped with her life?

Otherwise, who could so easily summon the Kunlun Mirror?
The Golden Mother was filled with doubt and uncertainty, her expression shifting between light and dark.

In fact, although Shen Hongyu still has a connection with the Kunlun Mirror, the real Shen Hongyu has already perished. She can only barely resonate with the Kunlun Mirror and cannot unleash its true power.

But just as the Kunlun Mirror landed in her palm, a system notification sounded in her ear.

Ding! System notification: You have obtained the innate spiritual treasure Kunlun Mirror. Would you like to refine it?
Shen Hongyu's eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, she silently recited in her heart: "Refine."

Ding! You have chosen to refine the innate spiritual treasure Kunlun Mirror. Please select one of the following three options.

Option 1: Merge the Dao with the mirror, refine this treasure into your natal spiritual treasure, and you can use it as easily as your own arm.

Option two: Change the root of the Dao. This treasure can be used as the root of the Dao for the Dharma body, so that the cultivation of this body can greatly advance.

Option three, the innate incarnation, can use this treasure as a foundation to refine a new avatar.

Shen Hongyu glanced at the three options and, almost without hesitation, chose the first one.

Her most important task right now is to suppress Jiang Shu. Options two and three both require time, but option one allows her to immediately take control of the Kunlun Mirror and experience a surge in combat power.

As soon as she made that thought, the Kunlun Mirror in her palm trembled violently.

The silver-white mirror seemed to have swept away all the fog, and its surface became clearer than ever before. The celestial patterns on the back of the mirror seemed to come alive, slowly flowing in her palm.

Her mind merged seamlessly with the precious mirror, and its mysteries gradually revealed themselves to her.

The Kunlun Mirror is actually based on moonlight. A ray of moonlight transforms into a mirror, which is also imbued with the principles of time and space. It can use moonlight as a mirror to reflect the past and the future.

The most mysterious aspect of this precious mirror in battle lies in its ability to reflect the enemy's past self through its light, thereby influencing the present.

Even the most powerful beings had times of weakness in the past.

This method is nothing short of defying the heavens.

Shen Hongyu gripped the Kunlun Mirror tightly, raised her head, and looked at Jiang Shu.

"Jiang Shu."

Her voice was clear and crisp, like a mountain stream: "Let's settle our scores today."

She slowly raised the precious mirror in her hand, its surface facing Jiang Shu.

Before he finished speaking, the Kunlun Mirror suddenly lit up.

A beam of silvery-white light shot out from the mirror, like moonlight, cool and dazzling. The light seemed gentle, but it was extremely fast, landing on Jiang Shu in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Shu's expression changed, and the Heavenly Emperor Bell suddenly trembled, attempting to use the sound of the bell to shatter the mirror light.

But the mirror light ignored the Daoist principles and laws of the Heavenly Emperor Bell, and fell directly on him.

The moment the mirror light fell, Jiang Shu sensed something was wrong.

With his cultivation and Taoist practice, he naturally began to touch upon time, but he found it difficult to use and could only temporarily suppress time with the Heavenly Emperor Bell.

This is also one of the reasons why he is unwilling to directly break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

If one does not fully comprehend the passage of time, and there are imperfections in the creation of heaven and earth, it will inevitably affect one's future spiritual practice.

At this moment, as the light from the Kunlun Mirror fell, he felt that the connection between him and the Heavenly Emperor Bell had become extremely weak.

The ancient bell that represented his ambition to attain enlightenment and the heart of the Heavenly Emperor was temporarily unable to be activated under the illumination of the Kunlun Mirror.

Jiang Shu's face turned extremely ugly. He knew the Kunlun Mirror very well and knew that he had been locked onto his past self. The other party had locked his state back to the time before he had cultivated the Heavenly Emperor Bell.

Although it cannot last, being locked in the past is extremely dangerous for him.

"Could it be that Red Fish really didn't die?"

With his past self locked in, the Kunlun Mirror anchored him to the timeline before he had mastered the Heavenly Emperor Bell. Naturally, he fell from that invincible, almost Dao-transcending state.

Shen Hongyu gave him no chance to catch his breath. With a wave of her jade hand, a ray of moonlight appeared in her palm.

The moonlight, cold as frost and pure as ice, condensed into a crystal-clear longsword. The blade was as clear as water, with countless fine lines flowing across its edge, radiating a chilling sharpness.

Taiyin God-Slaying Blade!

Shen Hongyu gripped the hilt of her knife tightly, her figure transforming into a beam of moonlight as she charged towards Jiang Shu.

At the same time, the yellow gourd above her head spun rapidly, and a glimmer of white light appeared and disappeared from its mouth. The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was poised to strike, yet it did not rush to deliver the blow, constantly threatening Jiang Shu and distracting him from his defenses.

The Taiyin God-Slaying Blade was unleashed.

Where the moonlight shines, the world is still, as if it wants to bury all the immortals, Buddhas, and saints into eternal night.

Unable to use the Heavenly Emperor Bell, Jiang Shu could only dodge with the Taiqing Undying Immortal Light. His figure transformed into a beam of clear light, crisscrossing the void, narrowly avoiding the blade.

But Shen Hongyu's knife was too fast.

One slash after another, each slash faster than the last… The sharpness of the Taiyin God-Slaying Blade was omnipresent, like an invisible net enveloping Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu's expression was solemn as he moved swiftly and gracefully through the void, using the ever-changing Taiqing Immortal Light to counter Shen Hongyu's attacks.

Sometimes it transforms into a true dragon, its claws tearing through the void; sometimes it transforms into a phoenix, its wings severing heaven and earth; sometimes it transforms into a ferocious beast, smashing stars to pieces…

Jin's mother stood aside, watching this scene with an uncertain expression.

Her gaze fell on Shen Hongyu, looking at the Kunlun Mirror in her palm, her heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"Just who is this person?"

Just then, a voice rang in her ear.

Wu Tian said in a deep voice, "Regardless of Shen Hongyu's background, let's join forces with her to suppress Jiang Shu first."

"As long as you still want the Kunlun Mirror, Jiang Shu will be an unavoidable enemy, not to mention the struggle for the Heavenly Emperor's throne."

"Now is the best time to deal with Jiang Shu." "If she really is Shen Hongyu, she naturally wouldn't go back on her word and take away the Kunlun Mirror."

"If not... we should have dealt with Jiang Shu first before settling accounts."

"If we don't act now, when will we?"

Jin's mother remained silent for a moment.

She watched the two fighting in the void. Although Jiang Shu could not use the Heavenly Emperor Bell, the Taiqing Undying Immortal Light was ever-changing, and Shen Hongyu could not defeat him for a while.

"Never mind."

She took a deep breath and tightened her grip on Xing Tian Jin Ge's hand.

"Let's take down Jiang Shu first."

Before she finished speaking, she took a step forward.

boom!
The void exploded beneath her feet, her figure vanished from the spot, and the next moment she appeared behind Jiang Shu.

Xingtian raised his golden halberd high and slashed down fiercely.

Jiang Shuzheng was engaged in a fierce battle with Shen Hongyu's Taiyin God-Slaying Blade in the form of a true dragon when he sensed the danger behind him. His figure suddenly transformed into a stream of water, flowing out from under the sharp edge of the golden spear, and then reforming a hundred feet away.

But Jin Mu and Shen Hongyu didn't give him any chance to catch his breath.

With the Xingtian Shield protecting her body in her left hand and the Xingtian Golden Spear attacking in her right, the Golden Mother of the West charged forward like a war god.

Shen Hongyu used the Kunlun Mirror to lock onto Jiang Shu's past self, preventing him from using the Heavenly Emperor Bell, while simultaneously launching an attack with the Taiyin God-Slaying Blade and the Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade.

With a thought, a thousand purple-gold lamps rose above Jiang Shu's head to protect him. With a sway, he transformed into a thousand-foot-tall deity, holding a star map in his palm.

With the golden lamp protecting you, the star map helps you defeat your enemies.

He simultaneously activated the inheritances of the three Golden Immortals of Taiqing Temple, pushing his combat power to its limit.

hum!
Xingtian's golden halberd tore through hundreds of golden lamps, revealing its sharp edge. It streaked across the sky with a dazzling golden rainbow, cleaving into the star map drawn in the "Zhou Tian Xing Su Jin Fa" and annihilating countless stars.

Shen Hongyu was extremely experienced in combat. Seizing the opportunity, the Taiyin God-Slaying Blade, as omnipresent as moonlight, easily swept across the enemy's breached defenses and slashed fiercely at Jiang Shu.

puff!

Jiang Shu's body dissipated into a beam of light, reforming itself hundreds of miles away. However, a knife scar remained on his throat, which was difficult to remove in a short time.

"kill!"

The Golden Mother treads upon the azure sky, her Xing Tian Shield completely sealing off the battlefield. In an instant, her golden halberd strikes out thousands upon thousands of times, golden light enveloping the universe.

Jiang Shu was unable to use the Heavenly Emperor Bell at this time, and was simply unable to contend with the Golden Mother who was at full power.

Not to mention Shen Hongyu lurking nearby, her Taiyin God-Slaying Blade capable of penetrating any opening, and her Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife even more eager to strike.

He could only do his best to unleash the three Golden Immortal inheritances to resist the endless attacks from the two women opposite him.

"As long as I can stall for the time it takes for the Kunlun Mirror to lock onto my past self, I still have a chance of winning."

Although the Kunlun Mirror is an innate spiritual treasure, those who activate it are not powerful Golden Immortals. Even Shen Hongyu, who had not yet perished, could not fully grasp the mysteries of the Kunlun Mirror.

"Shen Hongyu's limit for activating the Kunlun Mirror is a quarter of an hour."

"If I can hold out for a quarter of an hour, I can restart the Heavenly Emperor Bell and turn the tide."

At this moment, Jiang Shu frantically promoted the inheritance of the three Golden Immortals. One after another, golden lamps lit up in the void. The golden lamps were arranged according to the positions of the stars in the heavens, while his true body transformed into immortal light, moving among the golden lamps that filled the void, dodging the increasingly ferocious attacks of the two women.

He combined the three Golden Immortal inheritances in different ways, sometimes transforming into a towering deity with a golden lamp on his head and a star map in his hand; sometimes using the golden lamp to make moves, demonstrating the mysteries of the stars, maneuvering and dodging attacks; sometimes using starlight as lamp oil and undying immortal light as the wick, igniting the flame and burning the heavens...

This masterful use of supernatural powers is so exquisite that even the Great Crimson Heavenly Venerable would have to admire it.

However, faced with the unreasonable defense and attacks of the Golden Mother Xingtian Shield and Xingtian Golden Spear, he still fell into a disadvantageous position and became increasingly embarrassed.

laugh!
A golden light flashed past, leaving a deep wound on Jiang Shu's shoulder.

boom!
With a single blow, the phoenix form he had transformed into shattered into pieces.

Jiang Shu's figure re-condensed a hundred feet away, his plain white Taoist robe was tattered and his body was covered in blood.

"Jiang Shu, this is what happens when you run wild in my Yaochi!"

At this moment, Jin Mu's long hair was flying wildly, and her whole body was bursting with fighting spirit, like a fierce tiger that had been provoked. Her ferocity was overwhelming, and she was wielding a golden spear, with blue light spreading everywhere. She let out a tiger's roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Jiang Shu was extremely exhausted at this moment, and he didn't even have time to recover from his injuries. Under the attack of the Golden Mother, he could only frantically dodge and defend himself, and had no strength left to fight back.

However, he was constantly calculating the time in his mind.

"It'll be soon...it'll be soon..."

"Ten breaths left, that will be my chance."

Although his face was deathly pale and blood was flowing from his mouth, his gaze was incredibly firm, and his will burned like a golden lamp, dispelling all fear and unease.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, Jin Mu unleashed thirteen consecutive blows on Jiang Shu, instantly shattering his body into pieces, with blood splattering across the sky.

However, those shattered bodies transformed into celestial light in mid-air, and then reassembled into human form in the distance.

However, Jiang Shu could not dispel the Daoist aura and sharpness of Xing Tian's Golden Spear in a short time, leaving bloody wounds on his body, which looked shocking.

hum!
At that moment, a beam of moonlight descended from above his head, accompanied by a chilling coldness and sharpness, as if it were about to behead him with a single stroke.

Jiang Shu raised his right hand, his palm transforming into a star map that collided with the moonlight.

puff!

With a clear, resonant sound of a blade, his right palm was severed, and blood splattered across the sky.

He was too badly injured and exhausted, even the Taiyin God-Slaying Blade could not withstand him.

However, at that moment, a dazzling light shone in his eyes.

"Now is the time!"

Jiang Shu felt a surge of joy. According to his calculations, this was the limit of Shen Hongyu's ability to activate the Kunlun Mirror.

Next, he can use the Heavenly Emperor Bell.

"Heavenly Emperor Bell, suppress this evil spirit!"

He let out a hysterical roar, wanting to vent all the pent-up frustration and resentment he had been suppressing.

Even after the roar ended, the Heavenly Emperor Bell remained completely still.

"How is this possible?!"

Shen Hongyu noticed a momentary stagnation in the other party's mind and magic power, and immediately launched the yellow gourd that had been gathering power.

"Gourd, please turn around!"

A streak of white light descended from the sky, circling around Jiang Shu's neck.

A head suddenly shot into the sky.

"How is this possible?!"

Jiang Shu's head stared wide-eyed in mid-air, "Why is she still able to activate the Kunlun Mirror?"

"Die!" Jinmu seized the opportunity, and Xingtian Shield transformed into a patch of blue sky, pressing down and enveloping his headless body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jiang Shu's body seemed to be suppressed by an ancient divine mountain, constantly exploding under the crushing and grinding of the Xingtian Shield, turning into a sky full of immortal light, only to be obliterated again.

"cut!"

At the same time, the Golden Mother's Xingtian Golden Spear struck the severed head with unparalleled ruthlessness.

puff!

His head exploded, and blood splattered everywhere.

"what!"

A piercing scream echoed through the void. (End of Chapter)
