Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 54 I'm doing this for your own good
Wu Tian naturally saw the Savage Bear Tree as well. His eyes darted around, and with a leap, he disappeared into the wind.

"Huh?" Man Xiongmu watched Wu Tian disappear before his eyes, and before he could react, a dog barked behind him.

He was startled, and a gust of wind almost swept over him.

When he turned around, he saw Wu Tian standing less than three feet behind him.

His pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "How did you do that?"

Wu Tian wagged its tail and darted to his side, excitedly circling and barking, "Woof woof woof~"

Man Xiongmu was really losing his temper. He glared at the frolicking dog and demanded, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Wu Tian even rolled on the ground in excitement before lying down beside him, sticking out his tongue and panting heavily. He had just used up too much energy and was now almost exhausted.

“Master, I seem to have awakened a new talent. I can ride the wind and even seem to be able to disappear into the wind.”

"Wind Release???" Man Xiong Mu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. He immediately bent down and grabbed Wu Tian from all sides, examining him carefully.

"I now seriously suspect that you are a cub of the Demon King."

"That's not right. Could it be that some demon king accidentally left you behind at White Dog Village?"

Wu Tian's face turned almost green. He was a male, strong, and healthy white dog, and what was he supposed to look like being grabbed and turned over like this by an old man?

Seeing that the old man's clutches were getting more and more outrageous, Wu Tian finally couldn't bear it anymore. Ignoring his severe exhaustion, he rolled away, and with a wisp of wind blowing by, he escaped directly from the grasp of the Savage Bear Wood.

This time, Wu Tian disappeared right under Man Xiongmu's nose, but he still couldn't stop him. He watched helplessly as Wu Tian escaped, then fell to the ground like a dead dog, panting heavily.

"This is a wind-escape technique; there's no mistake."

Man Xiongmu murmured, "Once, disciples of major sects from the Central Plains came to the Southern Frontier to travel and hunt demons. I once saw someone use the Wind Escape Technique."

"Among all methods, the method of escape is the most precious and the most mysterious, and it is the foremost method for protecting the Dao."

His tone was filled with excitement and longing, "Only the White Bone Demon God Path, the direct descendant of our Skull Mountain Sect Leader, possesses the inheritance of the Earth Escape Technique."

"This is also the foundation upon which our predecessors were able to establish themselves in the Ten Thousand Mountains. These Ten Thousand Mountains are full of demons, and demon kings often wreak havoc. Our founding ancestor relied on the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique of escape) and the White Bone Demon God to gain a foothold."

Man Xiongmu looked at Wu Tian with intense gaze, “Bai Long’er, your bloodline must be very special, it can’t possibly be an ordinary Southern Xinjiang white dog.”

"Those who cultivate immortal techniques will plant a seed of magic and practice spells; great demons of the demon race will awaken demonic magic. Although the names and origins are different, they are all in fact the application of the laws of heaven and earth."

"Those who cultivate immortality nurture the true qi in their abdomen and condense the form of heaven and earth to comprehend the meaning of the law; then they forge the true cauldron and refine the seed of law to comprehend the principles of the law; but the demon race awakens their talents through their bloodline and is born strong."

"The bloodline of the demon race almost determines their foundation and future. You have awakened the Wind Escape Technique. As long as you cultivate step by step, you will surely become a great demon."

"The only thing that can break through to the Demon King level is the shackles of all demon races in the world. Success is due to bloodline, and failure is also due to bloodline."

Wu Tian was completely confused and asked telepathically, "So what?!"

Man Xiongmu stopped speaking abruptly, his whole body stiffening. He felt an itch to touch it, perhaps, possibly, maybe, it was jealousy?
That dog is a real scoundrel. He easily obtained the magic that he had cultivated for decades, and it was even the number one escape technique among all magics.

It can be used for both offense and defense, and it is also compatible with certain principles of nature.

Why is the art of escape called the foremost method of protecting the Tao?
It can kill enemies, save lives, and enhance one's aptitude and understanding of certain principles of heaven and earth from the essence of life.

Of all the countless methods in the world, the art of escape is one of the most precious and difficult to cultivate. If one lacks aptitude and comprehension, even if the art of escape is right in front of them, they will find it difficult to even begin to learn it.

But this seemingly goofy dog ​​awakened the Wind Release technique...

"Don't be angry, don't be jealous, stay calm. He's a dog, you can't argue with a dog..." Man Xiongmu tried to convince himself, then put on a calm and collected demeanor and said, "It's nothing, let's go back to our cave!" However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, as he passed a dog that was lying on the ground panting heavily, uh, he accidentally—definitely accidentally—stepped on its tail...

Wu Tian immediately sprang up from the ground, baring his teeth and barking at the barbarian bear.

"Woof woof woof~~"

"Oh?" Man Xiongmu turned around, putting his hands behind his back to hide his rubbing hands, which were itching to fight. "Bai Long'er, is there something you're unhappy about with your master?"

"Do you think you've awakened Wind Release techniques and become more temperamental, daring to bare your teeth at me now?"

"I didn't, I didn't... Ah... Woof woof woof..." Wu Tian sensed something was wrong, widened his dog eyes, and cautiously retreated with his tail between his legs.

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw the cloak behind Man Xiongmu suddenly rise up, transforming into a black wind that swept through the air, and a snow-white clouded leopard burst out from the black wind.

The clouded leopard was incredibly fast, moving as if it were riding the wind, and it reached Wu Tian in the blink of an eye.

Wu Tian tucked his tail between his legs and turned to flee, but the playful antics had already exhausted too much of his energy, especially the repeated use of Wind Release Technique, which had drained his mind and strength.

Being able to stand up and bare your teeth is already quite an achievement...

So, before he could even turn around, he was pounced on by the snow-white clouded leopard and knocked to the ground.

"Look at you, you've got some nerve! How dare you bare your teeth at your master! If we don't teach you a lesson, what kind of calamity will you cause when you go to the Central Plains?"

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

Man Xiongmu stood with his hands behind his back, looking quite wistful.

However, the clouded leopard was quite aggressive. After knocking Wu Tian to the ground, it flicked its tail, sending the dog flying into the air.

Then the clouded leopard rode the wind and pounced from mid-air once again.

"No, Master! Your disciple knows he was wrong, ah... woof woof..."

Wu Tian now knew perfectly well that his seemingly mature and steady master was burning with jealousy and wanted to have his way with him.

"Hey, you dog, you can't even communicate properly with your voice, you have to bark. That's a bad habit, people will laugh at you when you go out. You have to change it."

"Master, let me help you revise it..."

Man Xiongmu adopted a "for your own good" attitude, saying, "Good dog, watch carefully and learn well. The fighting techniques of my Qiyun Cave lineage are extremely compatible with your Wind Escape Technique. If you can achieve something, you can move with the wind and kill at will."

"Unless you encounter a method that can restrain you, you can come and go freely even under the nose of a great demon."

As he spoke, Man Xiongmu's eyes turned completely black, like the night sky, so deep it was unsettling.

He slowly extended his right hand, a wisp of black wind swirling and wandering, countless dense runes intertwining in the wind, and then suddenly surged up, transforming into a giant hand several feet long.

Wu Tian felt as if the sky had suddenly darkened, with dark clouds overhead and a cold wind blowing.

The clouded leopard had already disappeared into the wind.

As the bear-like wood flipped its hand, the giant hand moved accordingly.

He looked at Wu Tian and smiled slightly, then pressed down with his right hand.

Rumble!
With a terrifying roar, the giant hand slammed down.
