Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

The moment the Golden Crow clenched its fist into a seal, the great sun behind it trembled violently, and boundless golden light surged into its fist seal like a tide.

The great sun behind him was not an ordinary phenomenon, but the manifestation of the sun's authority, the source of many principles of heaven and earth such as light, flame, pure yang, supreme yang, and immeasurable.

With the blessing of the Great Sun's authority, the Golden Crow's supernatural power was propelled to an unprecedented peak.

One punch.

Between heaven and earth, all was vast and boundless, and the dazzling light engulfed everything.

Shakyamuni's only remaining right palm formed a mudra. "Namo Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, you truly deserve to be called the Golden Crow. You have so easily ascended to the position of Great Sun Emperor. Excellent, excellent!"

Before he finished speaking, the reconstructed Mount Ling behind him suddenly emitted boundless Buddhist light. The light was seven-colored, layered upon layered, blooming before him like lotus petals.

Each layer of Buddha's light is a pure land of Buddha, in which countless Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors are chanting scriptures, worshipping, and making offerings.

The golden light of the Great Sun Divine Fist collided with the layers of Buddhist light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The first layer of the Buddhist Pure Land was torn apart like paper, and the images of Arhats and Bodhisattvas instantly evaporated.

Second layer, third layer, fourth layer...

The Golden Crow's fist imprint was unstoppable, tearing apart twelve layers of Buddhist Pure Land before finally being blocked by the thirteenth layer.

However, the power of the Great Sun Divine Fist still caused Shakyamuni's golden body to retreat hundreds of feet in the void, and Mount Sumeru behind him trembled violently, with cracks reappearing on its newly reconstructed outline.

"As expected of the Great Sun Emperor, even outside the Three Realms, he can still contend with powerful beings. The Lord of the Stars truly lives up to his name."

"Your Majesty, if you are willing to join my Buddhist sect, I can bestow upon you the title of Radiant Tathagata, and have you jointly govern the Buddhist sect with me. What do you say?"

Shakyamuni spoke, his tone sincere. A radiant light flowed around him, and the Buddha's golden body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even his severed arm was being restored.

Jinwu did not answer, and his second punch was already thrown.

This time, the great sun behind him merged directly into his body.

He transformed into a beam of light, trailing a long golden tail of flame, and charged towards Shakyamuni.

"If you continue fighting him like this, you'll become the furnace for this bald monk to refine his magic."

Just then, Chi Xiao moved. Her phoenix wings flapped behind her, and her figure disappeared from the spot, instantly appearing behind Shakyamuni.

The twenty-four-tiered Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda flew out, growing taller with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-tall structure, pressing down on Shakyamuni.

Shakyamuni suddenly raised his head, his only remaining right palm rising upwards with his five fingers spread, to meet the Xuanhuang Pagoda that was pressing down.

However, this tower, which gathers the power of two heavens, possesses immense might. The golden body of Shakyamuni Buddha was suppressed and sank continuously, and the void beneath his feet rippled like water, spreading outwards in circles.

At that moment, the golden crow had already rushed in front of him.

Shakyamuni had no time to dodge. With a thought, the Great Thunder Temple, which was gradually merging with the Sun and Moon Heaven, transformed into a golden bell containing the sun and moon, and turned his body upside down inside it.

The golden crow slammed down with a punch.

The golden bell emitted a loud buzzing sound, the sun and moon revolved, and golden light shone.

He couldn't help but frown. Because the golden bell contained a portion of the Great Sun's authority, it had reduced his power by thirty percent, and for a moment he was unable to break through the golden bell's protective defense.

"Heh, do you really think you're invincible?" Chi Xiao's phoenix wings trembled violently behind him, like a celestial blade burning with raging flames. In the instant the golden bell's halo flowed, it suddenly slashed down.

clang!
The golden bell emitted a deafening roar, and the Buddhist light on the bell wall flickered violently. The sun and moon images contained within it were almost shattered, and a deep crack was slashed through this protective divine power.

hum!
The phoenix wings, sharp as knives, pierced the chest of the Buddha's golden body with deadly ferocity, and pale golden blood flowed from the hideous wound.

"Execute him!"

However, Chi Xiao still refused to give up. The phoenix wings that pierced through the Buddha's golden body seemed to be burning up completely at this moment, with an incomparably dazzling sharpness, about to cleave the body open.

Shakyamuni's expression changed slightly, and the mudra of his right palm changed as well.

Behind it, the eighteen layers of hell that were merging with the Netherworld Heaven transformed into an Eight Treasures Merit Pool at this moment. The pool was filled with the water of the eight merits, and golden lotuses floated on the surface, each containing a demon god that was faintly visible.

Even the Golden Crow couldn't help but admire this scene. Shakyamuni created the eighteen levels of hell, but he took the path of suppressing the netherworld, saving all sentient beings, and gaining supreme merit.

If one's past life's accumulated merits are truly refined and transformed, with the Golden Bell protecting the body and the Eight Treasures Merit Pool bestowing upon it, one can practically be said to be immortal and indestructible.

After all, supreme merit can reshape a golden body. As long as the Eight Treasures Merit Pool does not dry up, the opponent can remain invincible.

As the Eight Treasures Merit Pool appeared, a golden lotus in the water withered instantly, while the golden body of Buddha exploded and turned into a sky full of golden light.

Before long, the golden light regrouped in the distance, revealing the form of Shakyamuni.

However, at this moment, he had both arms intact, wore a brocade kasaya, and exuded perfect Daoist aura, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.

"I'd like to see how many merit lotuses you have to consume, and how much merit water you can burn."

Without stopping, Jinwu unleashed the Great Sun Divine Fist to its fullest extent, transforming himself into a dazzling divine light, frantically attacking the enemy from all directions. In an instant, Shakyamuni seemed to transform into a great sun, with countless golden rays illuminating his entire body.

However, each ray of golden light contained danger and murderous intent, and it was necessary to bury it completely.

"Why must Your Majesty be so hostile towards me? We are not enemies!"

Shakyamuni Buddha formed a mudra with his hands, and the sun, moon, and golden bell reunited to protect himself.

The Eight Treasures Merit Pool transformed into a golden lotus, which landed at his feet and lifted his body.

Mount Ling, which was merging with Mount Sumeru, transformed into a green lamp, which landed on its brow and emitted boundless light.

Golden bell, lotus platform, green lamp!

The three extraordinary phenomena and the three heavenly palaces, though not yet fully refined and absorbed, have begun to gradually reveal the splendor of the Buddha.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Golden Crow's fist imprint collided with the Sun and Moon Golden Bell, producing a dense burst of sound, like hundreds of thunderbolts exploding at the same time. However, it could not break through the bell for a long time, and instead made the sun and moon inside the golden bell shine brighter and brighter.

The golden crow sensed the pressure.

Although he became the Great Sun Emperor, favored by heaven and earth and blessed by the Three Realms, his opponent was a powerful Golden Immortal who had created the Celestial Heaven and a Buddha who had accumulated merit over many lifetimes.

Even though Shakyamuni had not fully digested the power of his past life, his strength still far surpassed that of an ordinary Golden Immortal who had opened up a first level of heaven. Moreover, the Sun and Moon Golden Bell contained the power of the Great Sun, which reduced his offensive power by three-tenths.

Without Chi Xiao's help, he would never have been a match for this person.

Thinking of this, his face darkened, and he became even more ruthless in his attack.

If we don't get rid of Shakyamuni today, it will be even more difficult to get rid of him in the future, and we will surely be harmed by him in the future.

"Red Sky!"

The Golden Crow roared, then stopped in place, all the golden light on its body receding and condensing into a single point in an instant.

"Use the Heaven-Swallowing Bottle to suppress it!"

Without hesitation, he unleashed the Devouring Heaven Dao, completely unifying his authority and supernatural powers as the Great Sun Emperor into a treasure bottle.

The golden crow vanished from its spot, leaving only a jet-black treasure bottle suspended in the void, absorbing and releasing vital energy from all directions, ancient and mysterious. *Buzz!*
The Devouring Bottle, like an ancient abyss, crushed towards Shakyamuni.

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiao also gave a cold rebuke, and the twenty-four-layered Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda collapsed, transforming into Xuantian and Huangtian, which intertwined and resonated with Chitian behind them. The three heavenly palaces rose high, with thousands of rays of immortal light descending.

"town!"

With a fierce roar, Chi Xiao unleashed the Three Heavenly Palaces, which descended from the sky and pressed down upon Shakyamuni.

Shakyamuni sighed and sat down on a golden lotus that shone brightly. The demons and monsters that he had converted in the past were all suppressed in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and transformed into lotus flowers.

However, at this moment, the lotus flowers withered and merged with the body, radiating an incomparably dazzling golden light of merit.

Before long, the golden light of merit dissipated, and Shakyamuni had transformed into a golden Buddha with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

Among the thousand hands, each hand holds a Buddhist treasure.

There are vajra, demon-subduing staff, golden cymbals, treasure vase, Dharma wheel, rosary, scriptures...

Among the thousand eyes, each eye emits a beam of Buddha's light, capable of dispelling all illusions and illuminating all truths.

The golden body of the Buddha with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes supports a pure land, colliding with the triple heavens that descend from the sky.

Rumble!
The entire outer void trembled, countless meteorites were reduced to dust in the collision, and chaotic energy surged in all directions like a tide, leaving the void within a radius of millions of miles in ruins.

The three heavenly palaces were held up by a thousand hands, preventing them from falling.

But the Golden Crow's Devouring Bottle had already struck the Buddha's golden body in the chest.

boom!
A huge hole was smashed into the chest of the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Buddha's golden body. The Devouring Bottle spun rapidly, like a ferocious demon god, frantically devouring and tearing at the Buddha's golden body.

Shakyamuni's true form groaned within his golden body, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The Golden Crow's Devouring Bottle was not only unaffected by the power of the Great Sun, but it was also able to restrain the power of the Sun and Moon.

He originally intended to rely on the Sun and Moon Golden Bell to forcefully block the opponent's attack, but unexpectedly his defenses were directly breached, his golden body was damaged, and the enemy even used supernatural powers to strip away his Great Sun authority.

It all happened so fast that he didn't have time to react.

After all, Chi Xiao's combat power was enough to defeat him, not to mention that there was also the Great Sun Emperor constantly attacking him from the side.

At this moment, a single misstep resulted in heavy losses.

Although Shakyamuni was startled, he remained calm. The blue lamp floating between his eyebrows emitted boundless light, freezing the light and time in the world for a moment.

His golden Buddha form suddenly formed a hand seal, and a thousand hands shot out, lifting up the three heavenly palaces of Chixiao, before withdrawing.

"The Emperor's divine powers are somewhat beyond what this humble monk expected."

"I am already very satisfied to have witnessed the Emperor's divine powers today. I will visit again another day."

Having said that, the head of the Buddhist sect fled without hesitation.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Not to mention Chixiao, how could Jinwu allow him to leave like this? Just now, he unexpectedly used the Devouring Heaven Bottle to catch Shakyamuni off guard and thus wrested back a portion of the Great Sun Authority from him.

At this time, Shakyamuni's sun and moon bell had turned into a brass color, no longer possessing its previous dazzling golden appearance, clearly indicating that the great sun's power contained within it had been almost completely lost.

But for Jinwu, even a slight deviation is not enough to achieve perfection.

Today, we have the advantage of timing and __cpLocation. If we don't perfect ourselves now, are we going to wait until the opponent has completely refined their foundation and become a Buddha of the Third Heaven before we fight to the death?

The Devouring Bottle spun around in the void, then absorbed the essence of the eight directions, and actually opened a void gate to catch up with it.

Chixiao followed closely behind, his three heavenly palaces directly sealing off the void and suppressing all directions, preventing Shakyamuni from escaping.

The two joined forces and continued to attack Shakyamuni.

Although Shakyamuni had profound knowledge and experience, he was fighting two opponents at once. Moreover, Chixiao was a powerful Golden Immortal who had opened up three heavens, and his strength was above Shakyamuni's. He was forced to retreat in defeat.

The three fought fiercely, and the battle quickly reached a fever pitch.

However, at that moment...

clang!
A bell tolled, its sound echoing from the distant heavens.

The bell's sound was distant and grand, resounding simultaneously from the heavens and earth, from the void, and from every corner of the river of time. It echoed through the nine heavens, pierced the earth, reached the netherworld, and reached the ears of every living being in the three realms.

Jinwu and Chixiao suddenly stopped.

The golden statue was battered and broken, and Shakyamuni, whose thousand arms had been mostly cut off, stopped and looked up in the direction from which the bell sound came.

Even the Jade Void Celestial Venerable and the Kunpeng, who were fighting in the heavens, stopped their battle at the same time.

At this very moment, throughout the Three Realms, the Great Dao roared, the laws of law formed clouds, heavenly flowers rained down, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, celestial music resounded, and all sorts of wondrous phenomena appeared.

"This is... someone has attained enlightenment!"

The golden crow's pupils shone brightly as it gazed in a certain direction beyond the realm.

There, an ancient bell floated and sank. As the bell rang, it dispelled the chaos, evolving into earth, water, fire, and wind, separating the pure and turbid energies. A world gradually took shape inside the ancient bell.

As heaven and earth were created, the three realms and nine heavens trembled.

Three hundred and sixty-five primary stars and fourteen thousand eight hundred secondary stars, each radiating unprecedented brilliance. Those lights intertwined and converged in the Sea of ​​Stars, transforming into a vast star map that covered the entire sky.

All living beings in the mortal world prostrated themselves on the ground, worshipping the heavens. The once bright sky had transformed into a star map.

On the star map, countless gods, Buddhas, demons, and ghosts appeared.

Some sat regally on lotus thrones, some rode on auspicious clouds, some held magical weapons, and some chanted scriptures. The immortals, Buddhas, demons, and monsters were lifelike, worshipping in a certain direction beyond the heavens.

And the azure sky and the yellow springs that pierce through heaven and earth are churning and roaring.

The azure sky and the yellow springs, one clear and one turbid, one above and one below, converge between heaven and earth, and then a bluebird flaps its wings and a yellow dragon rises from the land.

All spirits pay homage, the pure and the impure unite, and heaven and earth rejoice!
All the immortals and Buddhas in the entire Three Realms looked up in shock, gazing at the heavens.

"Someone has attained the Golden Immortal realm!"

At this moment, countless people were murmuring in silence, and the world was completely still.

Only the bluebirds sing in the heavens, the dragons roar in the underworld, and countless beings bow in reverence.

The magnificent scene was reflected in Jinwu's pupils, but he felt a sense of helplessness. "Jiang Shu... I'll let him succeed."

Before he finished speaking, his expression grew even fiercer, and he met Chi Xiao's gaze without making a sound.

The two instantly understood each other and acted simultaneously without hesitation.

"Let's kill Shakyamuni's incarnation first!" (End of Chapter)
