Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 44 The Sword Shocks Skull Mountain

Wu Tian stared blankly at the Crimson Wood beside him. Her entire body was surrounded by crimson light, and an ancient sword floated above her head. The sword light soared into the sky, and the dragon roared angrily. The crimson light in the sky was torn apart by the sharpness of the ancient sword.

With a single sword stroke, ten miles of clouds were severed, allowing the obscured sunlight to shine down once more.

"This……"

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the ancient sword was entirely crimson, resembling the crimson clouds at the edge of the sky, with only a faint golden light flowing along the edge of the blade.

However, he also felt something was strange; it seemed that the sword wasn't a physical object, but rather more like…

"True Qi?!"

When Wu Tian thought of true qi, he felt his scalp tingle. What kind of freak could cultivate true qi to such a pure level, to the point that it was almost tangible?

Even more terrifying was that the ancient sword formed from the condensed true energy was like an unparalleled ferocious weapon; the moment its sharpness was unleashed, it cleaved through ten miles of clouds.

Is this kind of atmosphere really something that someone in the Qi Cultivation Realm could achieve?
Wu Tian finally understood what he had just witnessed: it was true energy breaking through the barrier and manifesting outwards.

At this point, the cultivation of inner energy is considered complete.

Once the method for casting the tripod is prepared, one can begin cultivating towards the realm of casting the tripod.

In the year or so since they separated, he has only just begun to cultivate his Qi and is currently engaged in the first stage of Qi cultivation, opening the acupoints.

This speed is already much faster than that of the disciples of Skull Mountain, and is by no means inferior to those rare high-grade immortal roots.

Redwood...

Wu Tian's expression was somewhat stiff. The girl beside him had actually achieved the Foundation Establishment stage in just over a year, and then crossed the three levels of Qi Nourishment, opening the orifices, circulating Qi, and solidifying the form.

Just now, he easily broke through the barrier, externalized his true energy, and completely perfected his energy cultivation, allowing him to step into the realm of casting a cauldron.

Even with the system panel, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. Is this the Dao Body? Is this the Immortal Root?

That's really unreasonable!

At this moment, all he wants to say is that jealousy makes people hide their true colors.

"Oh, I see!" Chi Limu muttered, and with a casual wave of her hand, the ancient sword manifested by her true energy transformed into a crimson ray of light and entered her brow.

All the strange phenomena of heaven and earth just now have dissipated. Apart from the fact that the fire elemental energy is a bit more concentrated here, it seems that nothing has happened.

……

But such a commotion had already alerted certain beings on Skull Mountain.

In the Hall of White Bones sat a muscular, bald man covered in dark blue-black runes, even his head was inscribed with runes.

As the Crimson Wood Ancient Sword broke through the barrier and cleaved through ten miles of clouds, he instantly opened his eyes and looked towards the spot where the sword light had been unleashed.

"Is it her? The noise is too quiet, it doesn't seem like it!"

He couldn't help but frown slightly. That person was someone that Skull Mountain couldn't afford to offend. Now that his master was in seclusion, as the sect's senior brother, he had to keep a close eye on that person's movements.

"What exactly happened over there?"

Apart from the one from the White Bone Hall, all the cultivators at the Refinement Realm on Skull Mountain discovered the strange phenomenon. However, when they realized that the phenomenon was occurring in a forbidden area halfway up the mountain, they withdrew their attention.

Whatever happens to that person in the forbidden area is perfectly normal; these insignificant people dare not even peek into it.

However, Tong Guan, who had just returned to his cave, was somewhat uneasy. "That person first left a decree on a white dog, and today that white dog just entered the forbidden area, and then this strange phenomenon occurred. Could there be any connection between the two?"

He couldn't sit still any longer; anything involving that being in the forbidden area was a big deal.

"My senior brother probably doesn't know about that white dog yet, especially with the news of the Devouring Moon Qi Circulation Diagram spreading. It seems I need to make a trip to the White Bone Palace." Although he might be reprimanded, he couldn't care less. The strange phenomenon that had just occurred, and the white dog that had entered the forbidden area, made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

With that thought in mind, Tong Guan didn't delay any longer and went straight out of the cave towards the White Bone Palace.

……

Beside a spring halfway up the mountain.

Chi Limu sat down next to Wu Tian again, without any joy on his face, as if he had already gotten used to it. "So this is the entrance hall. Fortunately, it didn't take too long."

Her gaze fell on Wu Tian, ​​and then she smiled. "Bai Long'er, I'm about to begin my cultivation at the Forging Cauldron Realm. Once I've completed Forging Cauldron, I can come find you."

The girl clenched her soft, white fist with her left hand as she spoke, "That day won't be too far away. I'll do my best."

At this moment, Wu Tian felt like giving up, perhaps because Chi Limu had never had any contact with other cultivators outside the village.

Therefore, she simply did not understand how unbelievable and exaggerated her cultivation speed was...

Within a year, the vast majority of cultivators had not yet completed the Foundation Establishment stage.

But she was about to cast a tripod...

Wu Tian wanted to give up and try to curry favor with a powerful figure.

It took him a long time to process the shock of witnessing Chi Limu break through the entrance barrier, and his mind returned to calm.

"As long as I keep honing my talents and skills, sooner or later, my talents will also be able to be elevated to the level of Dao Body Immortal Root, or even surpass it."

"Take your time, there's no rush..."

"One day, I, this ordinary white dog, will also be able to roar across the sky..."

His mind finally calmed down. The fatigue and a trace of arrogance after the battle in the jungle had long been shattered by the ancient sword he had just used.

Wu Tian licked the hand of the red-wood tree beside him and uttered two soft cries.

"Woof woof~"

"Hehe, Bai Long'er, are you praising me?"

Chi Limu took off her little boots and dipped her fair and delicate toes into the warm spring water. The water shimmered, and her skin, as smooth as cream, was indescribably captivating.

Wu Tian and she nestled together, neither of them cultivating. They simply talked quietly, watching the clouds ripple in the sky, the sunlight fade from intense to dim, and the afterglow of the sunset fall.

As the evening breeze rustled through the trees, ripples spread across the spring, shattering the shimmering water and submerging those fair, jade-like toes…

Chi Limu has left; she was only able to come out today because of that senior's special permission.

As instructed by that senior, she could only leave the cave and descend the mountain for training once she had completed the casting of the cauldron.

The brief reunion completely dispelled all the distracting thoughts and emotions in Wu Tian's mind. As he gazed at the waning moon gradually rising in the west, his resolve to cultivate became even purer and firmer.

"Woof woof woof~"

Wu Tian looked up and shouted at the sky above the hot spring.

"What has disturbed my peace?" The voice of that senior echoed in his mind.

Wu Tian was overjoyed. He had something he wanted to ask this senior, but he wasn't sure if the senior would respond.

Fortunately, the result was not bad.
