Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 90 Talent Advancement, Immortal Body of Ghosts and Gods (Please Subscribe)

Faced with Man Xiongmu's exasperation, Wu Tian innocently said, "Master, you have to believe me, this was just an accident."

Don't ask, it was an accident.

"Master, I've come here to say goodbye. I plan to go to Trapped Sky Mountain to cultivate for a while."

“Trap Mountain?” Man Xiongmu was slightly taken aback, and after a moment’s thought, he said, “That is a good place, and it would be quite suitable for you.”

"If you've made up your mind, go and take a look first."

“I will also go to Trapped Sky Mountain in a couple of days to arrange a suitable cave for your cultivation.”

After saying that, he waved his hand with a headache, "Get lost. If you don't know your place next time, I'll drag you to breed with Silverfrost."

Wu Tian almost blurted out, "Okay, okay..."

He glanced at the beautiful woman clinging to Man Xiongmu's back, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, and felt his throat go dry.

"There's another saying: if you want to learn something, first sleep with your teacher's wife..."

He didn't dare say it aloud, fearing his master would chop off his dog's head.

After saying a respectful goodbye, he left all the flesh and bones of the rat spirit in the storage room of the bamboo house.

As he was leaving, he looked at the village shrouded in the morning mist and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. This place could barely be considered his first home in this world.

Before he knew it, Yinshuang had also followed, staying a short distance behind him, about two or three zhang away.

"Wow~"

Wu Tian barked twice at it, signaling it to go back.

But Yinshuang continued to follow him at a distance, neither too close nor too far.

After walking ten miles outside the village gate, Yinshuang finally stopped in her tracks at Wu Tian's roar.

"Cultivate diligently, and one day, if you become a great demon, you will have hundreds of years to live."

"Be careful when hunting, and don't take risks."

"Wow~"

Wu Tian spoke, surprised that the one who would miss him the most after leaving White Dog Village was Yin Shuang.

He used his Wind Release technique, and a gust of wind swept up his figure, quickly disappearing into the forest.

The morning breeze was slightly chilly, rustling the leaves and making the silvery frost-covered hair flutter.

It stared blankly in the direction where Wu Tian disappeared, remaining motionless for a very long time.

After Wu Tian had fled far away, he used his Fiery Eyes of Truth to look behind him and immediately saw Silver Frost standing motionless in place.

He felt inexplicably irritated and cursed, "What a stupid dog."

Then he suddenly unleashed his Lightning Release technique, a bright silver bolt of lightning exploded, and accompanied by a thunderous roar, his figure vanished completely.

……

When Wu Tian returned to Trapped Sky Mountain, he had already composed himself.

With his keen sense of smell and the ability to hear the wind, he constantly explored the entire underground cavern through smells and wind.

However, it must be admitted that the rat spirit is really too capable, digging this dark underground cave into a network of interconnected passages, making it impossible to fully explore the cave in a short period of time.

Wu Tian decided to cultivate while exploring the underground cave.

He did not intend to provoke other powerful demons before he had fully explored the entire underground cave.

This underground cave in Trapped Sky Mountain will be his future hiding place and base camp. He will need to cultivate here for at least several years, especially when he is casting the cauldron. He will need a safe place for seclusion, and this is the most suitable place.

Therefore, it is necessary even if it takes a lot of time and effort.

Besides his daily studies, he mainly practiced the Soul-Splitting Arrow, and spent the rest of his time exploring caves.

His method of exploring caves mainly relies on wind escape. Wind is formless and shapeless, yet it can penetrate everywhere. Wherever there is a pit or hole, the wind can reach it.

Wu Tian commanded a wisp of wind, which blew from his location along the entire underground cave. The wind seemed to become his eyes and his footsteps, exploring the environment of the entire underground cave for him.

As time went by, he recorded every path the wind took, which became part of the map of the underground caves.

Every day, a portion of the map is improved.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Wu Tian cultivated in this underground cave, and his strength improved every day.

This underground cave is not peaceful; in addition to the original rat spirit, there are other monsters and demons.

The most numerous creatures were bat spirits, a vast, dark mass hanging upside down from the cave ceiling, their scarlet eyes like blood-red gems, sending chills down one's spine.

Besides, there were rats, cockroaches, spiders, and even some ghosts; this underground cave had become a demonic abode.

While cultivating, Wu Tian also began to eliminate these demons.

He remained calm and composed, and after completing his daily tasks, he would venture deep into the underground caves to hunt down the bat spirits.

They use their claws and teeth to hone their own tough exterior and iron-like body.

Enhance your innate power through fighting and battle.

With his piercing eyes and the ability to escape through wind and thunder, he could fight or leave at will, and no matter how many bat demons there were, they couldn't do anything to him.

Wu Tian wasn't in a hurry to kill these demons in a short time; instead, he used them as targets for cultivation.

As a result, his progress was rapid.

Six months later, the copper-skinned iron-boned body was finally completed.

Ding! System notification: Your talent "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" has been perfected. This talent can be fused with "Immortal Body" and "Ghost God". Do you wish to fuse with it?

Upon seeing this notification, Wu Tian frowned slightly.

Two very important components of his current combat system are immortality and demonic powers.

His immortality talent allows him to fight enemies head-on without restraint, without worrying about getting hurt. Those who can't kill him will be dragged down to death in brutal physical combat.

As for his talent for spirits and gods, needless to say, this is an important talent for his soul, and its influence is almost decisive.

If these three talents are combined and something goes wrong, the consequences will be fatal.

"Want to bet?"

This is a tough choice.

If you choose to fuse, you are very likely to gain even more powerful talents.

If they are not integrated, all the results are clearly visible.

So... well, Wu Tian is a gambler.

"Fusion."

Without even blinking, he chose to merge.

Gamblers will end up with nothing, but he's a dog anyway, so he doesn't care.

Wu Tian watched the changes in the system interface with some anticipation.

After a brief delay, the system notification sounded again.

Ding! System notification: Your talents of Immortality, Ghostly Spirit, and Copper Skin and Iron Bones have been successfully fused.

Ding! Congratulations on acquiring a new talent: Immortal Body of Ghosts and Gods. Immortal Body of Ghosts and Gods: Advanced talent. Your physical body and soul have developed a subtle connection and transformation, possessing most of the characteristics of ghosts and gods. You are able to be immune to physical attacks to a certain extent, weaken energy attacks, and have extremely strong destructive power against souls and spirits.

Note: Ghosts and spirits are beings of immense strength, with bodies of steel and iron, capable of flying and escaping, traversing the realms of Yin and Yang, captivating souls and spirits, craving yang energy, and being conceived by heaven and earth, born from death.

Ding! System notification: Due to the influence of the immortal body of ghosts and gods, the true energy within your body has undergone a transformation and is now the power of ghosts and gods.

Power of Ghosts and Gods: A special kind of true energy generated by the resonance between Netherworld True Energy and the immortal body of ghosts and gods. It possesses the characteristics of life and death, corroding flesh and blood and eroding the soul.

Note: When ghosts and spirits descend, all living beings wail in agony.

As the system panel kept displaying notifications, Wu Tian could clearly feel his body undergoing an extremely terrifying transformation.

His body not only did not grow larger, but shrank at a visible speed, as if it were being constantly hammered and forged, and golden sparks even appeared on his body.

His fur grew increasingly tough, and his bones became increasingly heavy, yet strangely, his body gave off a sense of ethereal movement, as if he could take off at any moment.

This starkly contrasting and eerie feeling is characteristic of ghosts and spirits.

Ghosts and spirits possess immense power, with skin of copper and bones of iron. They can devour souls and capture spirits, yet they can traverse the realms of Yin and Yang, fly through the sky and disappear into the earth, appearing and disappearing like ghosts.

Even the true energy within his body changed. The yin and yang energies of heaven and earth were all swallowed into his belly, transforming into a dark blue-black ghostly power.

Ghosts and spirits originate from the netherworld, yet they enjoy inhaling and exhaling yang energy.

Therefore, ghosts and gods are synonyms for life and death.

At this moment, Wu Tian experienced an unprecedented enlightenment.

The principles represented by immortality are life, vitality, and masculinity.

The principles represented by the talents of ghosts and gods are death, the netherworld, and spirits.

When the talent of steel-boned body merges with the immortal god and the demon god, the newly transformed demon god immortal body represents life and death.

The Netherworld Dharma that he had previously comprehended has now been completely transformed and sublimated into a more profound and mysterious Dharma of life and death.

Ghosts and spirits are immortal, and the law of life and death applies to them.

The moment these two things came together, Wu Tian felt that the Soul-Splitting Arrow, which had been very difficult and obscure to him in the past, had become much simpler and clearer, as if a layer of mist had been peeled away.

It took him a full six months to cultivate the twelve incantations to the point where he could create incantations with a single thought. Although his cultivation speed increased as his control over his true energy became more refined and subtle.

But after so long, even the first level hasn't been formed yet; this speed is really too slow.

However, with the attainment of the Undying Body of Ghosts and Gods and the Undying Law, he condensed the thirteenth rune, which was not yet completed, into shape in the blink of an eye.

Then came the fourteenth, the fifteenth...

In just a dozen breaths, all thirty-six incantations of the first layer of the Soul-Splitting Talisman were formed in an instant.

Even Wu Tian was dumbfounded, "Is this what a talent monster is like?"

With enough talent, what is an impossible task for ordinary people can be as easy as drinking water and eating for gifted individuals.

In the past, he would have been so jealous he'd want to curse.

But now all he wants to say is, it's delicious!

At this point, as time passed, the changes in his body gradually stopped.

Wu Tian had a very mysterious feeling, a feeling that came out of nowhere, yet he was quite certain of it.

"After reaching the advanced talent level, the system seems to be gradually integrating various talents."

"I seem to be... like the Twelve Transformations of a Demon God..."

He thought of the Twelve Transformations of Ghosts and Gods that Man Xiongmu had taught him. It seemed that after reaching the Refinement Realm and completing the cultivation of various spells, in order to achieve the Dao Embryo, he would need to combine all the spells into one.

Just like the legacy of Qiyun Cave, it combines twelve magical transformations into a three-headed, six-armed demon god transformation.

"My advanced talents seem to be starting to show this trend now, such as the immortal body of ghosts and gods... the three-headed, six-armed ghost and god transformation... interesting!"

Wu Tian felt that, under the influence of the system panel, his talent was transforming in an even more terrifying direction.

"A demon king's cub? Hahaha!"

He couldn't help but burst into laughter, his voice echoing through the cave.

After a long while, he gradually calmed down and began to carefully observe his own transformation.

The most obvious change is in appearance; the body has been shrunk by hammering, as if it has been forged a thousand times, and is now only three feet in size.

Although its fur was still white, it had lost its previous translucent and shiny appearance, and instead had a stark white look, like the fur of a zombie.

This made him look more menacing.

Then there is the true energy within the body, which can absorb and expel the evil spirits and the pure and yang energy of the world, nourishing and tempering the body and spirit.

The so-called yang and pure energy of the world, including wind, rain, thunder, lightning, water, fire, sun, and moon, are all contained within it.

Because of his Fiery Eyes and Wind and Thunder Escape talent, Wu Tian was most adept at absorbing and exhaling the essence of the sun, moon, wind, and thunder.

He even felt that perhaps in the near future, the Undying Body of Demons and Gods would merge the Fiery Eyes and the Wind and Thunder Escape Technique, eventually forming a transformation technique similar to the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Demon God Transformation.

"The Dao Embryo, the Demon King's Inner Core... I think I've figured out a bit of the secret."

He opened the system panel on a whim.

Name: Wu Tian

Age: 5
Bloodline: Southern Xinjiang White Dog
Realm: Third Level of Qi Cultivation

Advanced Talents: Wind and Thunder Escape 6%, Fiery Eyes 2%, Immortal Body 7%
Intermediate Talents: 98% Good Fortune and Avoidance of Misfortune, 92% Mountain Devouring, 95% Size Control
Skills: None

Note: Perfect skill has been hidden.

Because the underground cave was teeming with demons and monsters, Wu Tian spent almost every day fighting in the cave during the past six months.

Although some demons wanted to submit, his goal was not to become the lord of demons, but to use their claws to hone his own cultivation.

Therefore, regardless of whether they beg for mercy or not, they will still kill them mercilessly.

Hundreds of demons and monsters died at his hands, which caused his intermediate talent to improve faster than originally expected.

"It won't be long before the remaining intermediate talents will also be mastered one by one."

Wu Tian was somewhat delighted. In this way, he could break through the barrier of mystery as soon as possible, use the laws of heaven and earth to cleanse his physical body, and step into the realm of casting the cauldron.

"In that case, there is no need for the remaining demons and monsters to remain."

"Kill all the rest..."

"Use their flesh and blood and souls to contribute the last bit of strength to my next talent advancement."

A fierce glint flashed in Wu Tian's eyes. He was a demon, and his very blood and bones possessed an extremely terrifying ferocity.

The killings in the underground caves over the past six months have made his murderous aura reach an extremely terrifying level.

Anyone who has achieved a certain level of spiritual cultivation can immediately sense what a terrifying and ferocious beast this is.

Once he had this thought, he no longer hesitated and charged into the depths of the underground cave, following the location he had already scouted.

"We kept them when we slaughtered them, because we were afraid that if we killed them all, there would be no demons left to help us cultivate."

"Now, there's no need for that!"
