Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 56 Second-Grade Dao Embryo
"As long as you can condense a change, you can comprehend the meaning of the law. The more changes you condense, the deeper your understanding of the principles of wind will be."

"You have awakened Wind Release, which is the most profound change in spellcasting, containing the most fundamental principles of wind-attribute magic."

"Even if you only know what it is, but not why it is, with Wind Release, it will still be much easier for you to comprehend other spells than for others."

Man Xiongmu didn't continue speaking. Instead, he pointed his finger, and a beam of light formed by twelve runes entered Wu Tian's brow.

After doing all this, he turned and walked into the cave.

Everything he just said was true, but there was one thing he didn't tell Wu Tian: these twelve transformations, also known as the "Twelve Ghost God Transformations," are one of the two great inheritances of Qiyun Cave.

The other lineage is the Ghost Wind Technique.

The "Ghost Wind Technique" and the "Twelve Ghost God Transformations" form the foundation of the entire Qiyun Cave's heritage.

The Ghost Wind Technique is a method formed by the fusion of the principles of wind and death. When combined with the "Twelve Ghost God Transformations," it can cultivate a body with three heads (lion, tiger, and leopard), six arms (each wielding a knife, staff, rope, bow, and arrow), and a body that rides a warhorse.

Finally, they completely merged, transforming into a three-headed, six-armed demon.

Then the seed of Dharma was merged with the spirits and deities, transforming into the embryo of the spirits and deities.

This is also the upper limit of the Qiyun Cave lineage; at most, one can only cultivate to the Dao Embryo stage, but cannot achieve the Primordial Spirit stage.

In fact, even Man Xiongmu himself had not mastered the Twelve Demon God Transformations. He had only mastered four transformations: hand, rope, knife, and leopard.

With his back to Wu Tian, ​​Man Xiongmu revealed a somber expression. The inheritance of Qiyun Cave was too shallow. Both Youfeng Method and Ghost God Transformation only touched the surface of the laws of heaven and earth.

The quality of the ghost and spirit embryos that can be condensed is also the lowest.

"The White Bone Demon God Path of the sect leader's lineage can cultivate up to thirty-six transformations. The Hundred Beast Yin Soul Path is a simplified method that was dismantled from the White Bone Demon God Path."

"The White Bone Demon God Transformation, cultivated through thirty-six transformations, eventually condensed into a fourth-grade White Bone Demon God Dao Embryo. Its quality is far superior to the Ghost God Dao Embryo of my Qiyun Cave, which is why it has a chance to achieve the Primordial Spirit."

"But with a primordial spirit cultivated by the White Bone Demon God Path, no one but the founding ancestor could become a rogue immortal."

He stepped into his secluded meditation room. "It is said that the major sects in the Central Plains even have an eighth-grade Dao embryo refined through seventy-two transformations. I can't even imagine how terrifying that must be."

"If I want to obtain a superior Dao Embryo method of grade seven or above, my only hope in this life may be Bai Long'er."

"Although Chi Limu has taken that senior as her master, there is no bond or friendship between us. The superior Dao Embryo Method is extremely precious, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to obtain it from her."

"On the other hand, Bai Long'er has a master-disciple relationship with me. With the talent he has shown so far, perhaps one day he can find me a superior Dao Embryo Method."

Man Xiong sat cross-legged on the futon, the door to the quiet room slowly closing, the dim light reflecting off his face, making him appear somewhat gloomy and repressed.

He had never had these thoughts before, after all, Bai Long'er's previous performance showed limited talent and she had not been accepted as a disciple by that senior.

But today, Bai Long'er awakened the Wind Release technique...

He could no longer remain calm; the jealousy was real, the joy was real, and he also had certain expectations he had never had before.

That's why he directly passed on the "Twelve Ghost God Transformations" of the Qiyun Cave lineage to Bai Long'er, in order to deepen the bond and affection between them.

This somewhat utilitarian approach made it difficult for him to remain calm.

Given Wu Tian's aptitude, he will surely acquire more profound transformation techniques in the future, and "Ghost and God Transformation" is destined to be merely a transitional technique.

"Hey!"

Man Xiongmu sighed, then slowly closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in cultivation.

"The path to the Primordial Spirit is difficult!"

Wu Tian was unaware of Man Xiongmu's complicated thoughts and focused all his energy on the Twelve Ghost God Transformations he had just acquired.

The system panel will also change accordingly.

Twelve Demon Transformations: A second-grade magic technique that possesses twelve transformations, including hands, feet, mouth, lion, tiger, leopard, knife, club, rope, bow, arrow, and horse. After mastering it, one can manifest a demon with three heads and six arms.

Note: When combined with the corresponding Dharma seed, it can condense a second-grade Dao embryo.

Many of the terms appearing on the system panel this time were terms that had never been used before.

For example: second-grade spells, appearances of ghosts and gods, seed of magic, second-grade Dao embryo, etc.

Even if Wu Tian was stupid, he would know that what Man Xiongmu had passed on to him was not an ordinary method, but a profound inheritance involving the Dao Embryo realm.

"A three-headed, six-armed demon-like appearance, interesting."

He examined it carefully for a moment and found that this spell was very different from ordinary skills. It was almost equivalent to twelve skills, and each variation required separate training.

"It seems we need to choose one or two variations to focus on first."

"I'm going down the mountain tomorrow. I'll spend all my evenings practicing the Moon Devouring Qi Circulation Diagram, plus there are still four spells I haven't mastered yet."

"There is too little time to cultivate during the day, so we have to make some choices."

After studying it carefully for a while, Wu Tian first gave up the three animal-type transformations: lion, tiger, and leopard. He himself was already in beast form, so there was no need for him to practice these beast-type transformations.

"For me, the most practical tools are actually the four variations of hands, knife, stick, and rope."

"Hands aside, they are extremely useful for attacking, grappling, and even in daily life."

"Knives and clubs are offensive techniques that can compensate for my weaknesses in attack to some extent."

"Although the changes in the rope overlap with those of the Ruyi Rope, the combination of the two may have an effect greater than the sum of its parts."

After thinking for a moment, Wu Tian first ruled out the rope transformation, saying, "There is only one of the knife and stick transformations to choose from. In comparison, the knife transformation is more powerful."

"Therefore, hands and a knife are the best choice."

"Let's give it a try..."

He focused his mind on the changes in his hand and the knife, trying to comprehend the runes that the Wild Bear Wood had passed down to him.

Before he knew it, time had passed, and by the time Wu Tian came to his senses, it was already dark.

He felt dizzy and his mind was filled with the swirling incantations. "No, it's too complicated and too obscure. It's much more difficult than superior incantations. Let alone cultivating two at the same time, I can't even master one of the variations in a short time."

Wu Tian felt somewhat helpless and could only give up the hand variations called One Qi Capture Hand for the time being, and choose the knife variations first. He would cultivate this variation to a certain level before considering other variations.

The transformation of the blade, also known as the Wind-Tearing Blade, contains many incantations that describe the changes in wind, blade techniques, mental will, and the methods to combine them into the Wind-Tearing Blade.

Its profound and obscure nature is enough to make one's scalp tingle at a glance.

Wu Tian slowly regained his composure, temporarily putting aside his thoughts of the Wind-Tearing Blade, and instead turned his gaze toward the direction of the Dining Hall, his pupils cold and indifferent.

"We're leaving the mountain tomorrow, and it's time to settle some old scores."
