Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 104 Bai Qian: Have you been wronged? (Please subscribe)

Wu Tian carried the Savage Bear Wood all the way down Skull Mountain. When he returned to the village, he deliberately concealed himself so that no one could see him.

If the tribespeople saw Manxiongmu like this, there would inevitably be another uproar.

When they returned to the bamboo house, Wen Ruyun almost didn't recognize that the thin, gray-haired old man was the burly and robust Man Xiongmu.

Her eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

But she had been through hardships and had resilience in her bones. Although she couldn't help but shed tears, she suppressed her emotions and carefully settled the skinny and bony Man Xiongmu on the bed.

She prepared warm water to wipe his body and cooked some easily digestible porridge, hoping that her husband could have a hot meal when he woke up.

The commotion here naturally did not escape Shi Yu's notice. When he saw that Man Xiongmu had become like this, he felt as if his sky was about to collapse. He collapsed to the ground, completely dazed.

Seeing her son like this, Wen Ruyun slapped him hard across the face while tears streamed down her face.

"Your master is in trouble, and it is your duty as his disciple to step forward and support him from all sides."

"Who are you trying to impress with this pathetic look on your face?"

Shi Yu's cheeks were red and swollen from the beating, but he regained his senses and asked Wu Tian in a slightly hoarse voice, "Senior brother, who exactly hurt Master like this?"

"I must avenge this!"

Wu Tian said in a calm tone, "Master is just too exhausted. He will be fine after a period of rest. This matter should be decided by him."

"You are still young, so you should focus on your spiritual practice."

"When Master wakes up, he will tell you if he is willing."

"Senior brother..." Shi Yu was about to ask more, but Wen Ruyun grabbed her arm and said, "Listen to your senior brother."

After this experience, Wen Ruyun understood even more clearly the abilities and skills of Man Xiongmu, her eldest disciple.

Even the fierce bear tree has been tormented like this; no matter who the enemy is, it's not something the mother and son can handle.

Knowing more won't help; it will only add to your troubles.

"I'm entrusting Master to your care. If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up in two or three days. Don't worry, Master's wife."

Wu Tian comforted him and then came out of the bamboo house.

After all this commotion, it was completely dark.

He was still in the form of a white dog, walking in the night, watching the howling wind, as the evil spirits and ghosts in the Hundred Beasts Banner were about to roam the night again.

This has been the case for thousands of years: grazing wandering spirits and raising demons as provisions for the sect.

Only then did he realize that Yinshuang was lingering outside the bamboo house, but had not yet gone inside.

"You stupid dog!"

Wu Tian couldn't help but curse at it.

"Wow~"

Two white dogs walked side by side, returning together under the moonlight. A cold wind howled, and a hundred ghosts roamed the night, yet they could not penetrate this small village.

When Wu Tian returned to his old bamboo house, he found that his doghouse was still tidy, which must have been cleaned every day.

After Yinshuang returned, she lay down beside him and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.

It ventured deep into the desolate mountains to seek Wu Tian's help, surviving several brushes with death, nearly being deep-fried by the pig-headed monster, yet it has persevered and waited until now.

At this moment, the bear was finally rescued, and Wu Tian returned to its side. It fell asleep without realizing it.

The silver fur, illuminated by the moonlight streaming through the window, seemed to shimmer with silver light.

Wu Tian felt as if all the disputes and noise had vanished.

The conspiracies and schemes on Skull Mountain, the coldness and warmth of human relationships in Hidden Sword Cave, and the survival of the fittest on Trapped Sky Mountain were all kept outside this small bamboo house.

He gazed silently at the bright moon outside the window for a long while before finally focusing his attention back on the "Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture" that had surfaced in his mind.

This eleventh-rank combat technique was enlightened by the head of the Taiqing Temple with a talisman. It contains internal restrictions and only transmits the true meaning, not the illustrations or text.

Wu Tian can cultivate on his own, but if he tries to put it into words or teach it to others, the sect leader will immediately sense it.

This is a method used by Taiqing Temple to prevent the transmission of its top-level Taoist embryonic techniques.

Countless incantations flowed from his mind...

Although there are only the first three volumes, the mysteries contained within them are incredibly profound and obscure.

The first volume alone far surpasses "Twelve Transformations of Demons and Gods".

The Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Scripture states: "Prison is a chasm of Yin and a den of evil. It is neither heaven nor earth, but the condensation of the residual Qi of chaos."

The three-headed demon god uses prison as its body, soul as its fuel, and reason as its blade. It carves the orifices of three skulls, melts the fires of three principles, and forges the core of a precious pearl, thus becoming the key to suppressing prison.

There are three levels of prison: the lower prison locks the body, the middle prison restrains the soul, and the upper prison suppresses the spirit.

Therefore, it can split the soul into three parts, corresponding to the three levels of imprisonment.

……

The three skulls are not merely for adding to the physical form; rather, they represent the threefold authority of the prison, ensuring that the power of the prison rests with the individual and preventing them from being devoured by the prison.

After a quick glance, Wu Tian immediately understood why Zhu Yeshuang had said that this Dao Embryo Technique was more suitable for him.

This technique is based on the three principles of life, death, and heaven, and involves carving out three skull orifices. In the end, the three orifices are reunited and returned to one.

The laws governing life form the four walls of the prison; the laws governing death form the punishments and detentions of the prison; and the laws governing Heaven form the authority of the prison.

With the might of Heaven, carrying the principles of life and death, he comprehends the way of suppressing the prison.

Finally, the three principles of law converged, igniting the true fire of hell and forging a hellish jewel.

The so-called true fire of hell is not pure fire, but a harbinger of the unification of the three principles, which will eventually transform the intensity of the fire into the three principles.

When the fire subsides, it transforms into a pearl.

The pearl is jet black, reflecting the phantom images of three skulls within. Touching it evokes images of hell, and looking at it causes real fire to burn the pupils; it is known as the "Hell Pearl".

Once the precious pearl is formed, the three principles are unified, and the inner principles of the Dharma are contained within, which can be called the embryo of the Dao.

Wu Tian watched it and was amazed. The senior was a master with superb skills and great courage, and his thoughts were extremely ingenious.

This method may seem unorthodox, but in the end it leads back to the great path.

However, the scripture repeatedly warns at the beginning that there are taboos against practicing this scripture: if the three heads are separated from the soul, the soul may be torn apart and death may occur; if the three principles are intertwined, there may be a rebellious explosion; if the precious pearl is forged in fire, it may be consumed by fire and burned to ashes.

Therefore, those who are not exceptionally gifted in understanding the principles of life and death, whose souls and bodies are exceptionally resilient, or who possess profound blessings should not attempt to cultivate themselves.

This is because the so-called way to control prisons is to "seek life in the midst of death." Those who are not brave, ruthless, or resilient will ultimately become nourishment for the prison, not its masters.

"I unexpectedly stepped into the path of ancient demon gods. My soul contains the law of death, my physical body contains the law of life, and my bloodline cultivates the sun and moon. The sun and moon traverse the sky, which can serve as the authority of heaven."

"This couldn't be more perfect!"

Wu Tian observed carefully, and before he knew it, dawn was breaking.

I have already gained a basic understanding of the practice of the "Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture".

"At the beginning of this cultivation method, one must condense three magic talismans, each carrying the three principles of life, death, and heaven."

"These three magic talismans each have ten layers, which is the first step of cultivation."

"The second step requires three magic talismans to match one's own talent, to carve out two more furnace openings, and to generate three heads."

"The third step is to unify the three methods and ignite the true fire of hell."

"The final step is the process of fire extinguishing and pearl being born, the method of inner alchemy."

"The sheer complexity of these steps far surpasses anything in the Twelve Demon Gods Transformation, not to mention the principles and doctrines it contains."

Wu Tian sighed inwardly, only now realizing just how vast the difference was between this top-tier Dao Embryo Technique and the inheritance of ordinary sects.

"The first three volumes cover the cultivation of the three magical talismans, up to the tenth level of perfection." "As for the creation of three heads, the burning of hellfire, and the forging of the Hellish Magic Pearl, that's the content of the later volumes..."

At this moment, Yinshuang woke up, opened her eyes, and happily circled around him.

Wu Tian felt as if life had returned to the way it was before, with quiet cultivation and Yin Shuang's treacherous schemes, peaceful and serene.

Now that the hunting team is growing stronger and gradually getting on track, Silverfrost's absence will not affect the hunting in the village.

Wu Tian then proceeded to instruct it on its cultivation within the bamboo house.

It must be said that Silverfrost does have a certain talent for lightning magic.

In addition, he specializes in the Thunder Sound Mantra, unlike Wu Tian, ​​who cultivates a wide range of techniques.

Therefore, he has made considerable progress in recent years, and his mastery of the Thunder Sound Mantra has gradually deepened.

"Silver Frost, you've mastered the Thunder Sound Spell quite well. In a few years, you might really have a chance to become a demon."

Wu Tian was also somewhat pleased. After all, Yin Shuang's bloodline potential was ordinary, and it was already rare for her to become a spirit.

If one could become a demon, their lifespan would increase dramatically, which would be an unexpected bonus.

As for the great demon, given its bloodline potential, its chances are slim.

"Woof woof woof~" Silver Frost barked, wagging its tail.

"Haha, keep up the good work. I think even the pig-headed monster in Trapped Sky Mountain will be able to find an opportunity to transform into human form ahead of time," Wu Tian said. "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will also find some immortal herbs for you so that you can transform into human form in the Demon Realm."

"I wonder what you will look like after you transform?"

"Could it be that I have a dog's head and a human body, and am just as ugly as this?"

"Hahaha!"

In the midst of their laughter, he thought of Bai Qian again.

The woman was truly stunningly beautiful and possessed a wild nature after transforming into human form.

The wagging tail, the exposed skin, the alluring curves, and the beautiful face still make him yearn for it.

"Woof woof woof~" Silver Frost barked twice with a hint of disgust, as if to say that the pig-headed monster was much uglier than White Dragon.

"Hahaha~" Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh.

……

While Wu Tian and Yin Shuang continued their cultivation as planned, another day passed before Man Xiong Mu finally woke up.

Wu Tian personally went over and examined him, confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, only that his vital energy had been depleted, and that he would be able to recover after a period of rest.

However, after suffering this calamity, one's lifespan will inevitably be affected.

But being able to come back alive is already a great blessing.

"I'm still alive, aren't I? What kind of behavior is this, crying and wailing like this!" Having just escaped the brink of death, Man Xiongmu became even more carefree.

After calming Wen Ruyun down, he sent Shi Yu to finish his homework, leaving only Wu Tian to speak with him.

"You little dog, you've cultivated yourself into a great demon now."

Man Xiongmu said with some emotion, "When I first met you, you were just a puppy with newly acquired spiritual awareness."

"Now he has become a great demon and has also joined a prestigious sect."

"This is good!"

"It's all thanks to my master's guidance and teaching back then, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today." Wu Tian was still in dog-headed human form, but Man Xiongmu showed no difference and treated him as usual.

“Your statement is somewhat biased.” Man Xiongmu shook his head. “The reason I accepted you as a disciple was because I received a decree from Senior Zhu.”

"To be honest, there was also a bit of selfishness involved. I thought that if you could achieve great things in the future, I might also be able to benefit from some of the good fortune."

"If I could obtain a higher-grade Dao Embryo Technique, my future cultivation path would be much wider."

He spoke very frankly, without hiding anything.

“I’m a bit older than you, and I’ve watched you grow up, so I’ll say a few more words. Don’t take it personally.”

Wu Tian nodded seriously.

Man Xiongmu laughed and said, "Although you, my dog, are intelligent, you have the temper of a dog. You are vindictive and petty."

Wu Tian's face darkened. Was this old geezer here specifically to scold him? He shouldn't have rescued this old guy.

Seeing his expression, Man Xiongmu knew that the dog was depressed, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Living in these mountains and forests, this temper is not a bad thing. Besides, I know that you, dog, have always been loyal and righteous, otherwise you wouldn't have gone up the mountain to rescue me."

"However... you can't be so reckless in the future..."

“I know you have already become a disciple of Master Zhu. Taiqing Temple is a major sect in the Central Plains, with strict rules, unlike our remote place.”

"Although you are also a disciple of Master Zhu, you are different from those disciples in human form."

"If any conflict really breaks out..."

Man Xiongmu shook his head. "At that time, even Master Zhu might not be able to protect you."

"After all, they are a major clan of the human race. If they protect the demons instead of the human race, it will likely arouse public indignation."

"I hope the True Man can protect you once or twice, but if it happens too often, you will surely suffer a backlash."

He said this because it was the same on Skull Mountain.

A demon is a demon; no matter what, it can only be used and manipulated, never taken as a true disciple.

Unfortunately, this dog has a bad temper and a narrow mind.

Once one enters the Central Plains and gets into conflict with others, it will inevitably lead to disaster.

Knowing that he would probably have little chance of helping his disciple in the future, Man Xiongmu spoke these heartfelt words, hoping that the dog could suffer less and cultivate and comprehend the Dao in peace.

"Bai Long'er, you must remember that you must not act recklessly in Taiqing Temple, and you must be patient."

"So what if I suffer some injustice?"

"Demons have a longer lifespan than humans, so there will come a day when you'll be a grandfather..."

“I’m old, and after this experience, I no longer have any hope of spiritual practice.”

"If you achieve something in the future, please take care of your junior brother."

……

Before Wu Tian left the bamboo house, Man Xiong Mudu repeatedly reminded him, "In the future, you must restrain your dog-like temper, don't be too petty, be grateful for even a little kindness from others, and don't ask for too much."

"If someone harbors a malice, just pretend you don't see it and tolerate it."

The words still echoed in his ears, and Wu Tian couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

Traveling at breakneck speed, riding the wind all the way, they arrived at Trapped Sky Mountain without realizing it.

He ran to the top of the mountain, where the wind howled. The ferocious dog's head and snow-white fur made him appear as a great demon with a dog's head and a human body, yet he exuded a sense of desolation and indescribable loneliness.

"After all, I'm no longer human..."

The words were carried away by the wind.

The ferocious dog roared, its voice echoing through the valley for a long time.

"Why, are you wronged?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind.

Wu Tian was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Bai Qian?!"
