Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 83 The Triple Meaning of the Law (Please Subscribe)

Both of Ye Tong's advanced talents were somewhat unexpected by Wu Tian.

"The Moon Eye talent is very likely to be linked with the talent awakened after the Fire Eye Curse is perfected, thus giving birth to an even more terrifying talent, which is related to the sun and moon."

"But the Shadow talent is also amazing, allowing one to slip into the shadows, which is extremely useful whether for killing enemies or escaping."

"This talent is somewhat similar to Shadow Cat's talent, and it can directly enhance related talents. If it advances in the future, it is very likely that it will develop talents related to the netherworld, such as Ghost God."

Wu Tian was genuinely hesitant. One was a pupil technique talent related to the sun and moon, and the other was a stealth technique related to the netherworld.

These two are truly difficult to choose between.

After much deliberation, he still chose Moon Eyes.

"After the Swallowing Moon Qi Circulation Diagram is perfected, I should be able to comprehend the meaning of the Bright Moon Dharma."

"When the Fire Eye Curse is perfected and the two talents are combined, it will probably bring about an extremely miraculous transformation."

"Baptizing the body and spirit with the power of the sun and moon, and refining the eyes and orifices, the resulting talent will surely be terrifying."

"Moreover, the same effect of Shadow Release can be achieved with Wind Release."

"As for the power of the netherworld, there are also those with the talent of ghosts and gods who can be involved."

After thinking it through, Wu Tian immediately made his choice.

He felt a cool sensation in his eyes, and as he looked around, everything seemed to change, the colors fading away and distorting into black and white.

He once again saw the visions that could only be seen when he used his supernatural powers.

"Moon Eyes' talent allows one to see through the netherworld, but shouldn't the netherworld in myths and legends be beneath the earth?"

Wu Tian was somewhat puzzled; it seemed that the Netherworld he saw was the human world.

Or is it that the underworld is not underground as ordinary mortals understand it?
He tried several times and found that he could change his perspective at any time. In the Netherworld, he could see the souls of living beings more clearly, as well as the Yin and evil Qi that permeated and distributed between heaven and earth.

After gradually understanding his new talent, he stopped exploring it further.

Currently, all low-level talents have been upgraded, but it takes even longer to upgrade mid-level talents, and even after more than a month of training, high-level talents are unlikely to improve by even one percent.

"To improve advanced talents, one needs to comprehend the corresponding principles of heaven and earth, and the most basic threshold is the understanding of the law."

"I don't understand the meaning of the law, and even with the system panel to assist me, my progress is still incredibly slow."

As Wu Tian's understanding of the system and cultivation deepened, he gradually came to understand the meaning represented by the talent level.

Primary talents are similar to those of newly transformed spirits; their abilities, such as consuming qi, sharp claws, and night vision, are all similar.

Intermediate talents often correspond to demons, who possess stronger physiques and instincts, such as copper skin and iron bones, the ability to change size at will, and even more precious and rare abilities like seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

When one reaches the advanced level of talent, it corresponds to the demonic arts of a great demon and the spells of a cultivator who refines magic. Such talent often resonates with the laws of heaven and earth, thereby generating power far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

However, Wu Tian's cultivation level was insufficient, and he was unable to generate magical power within his body, thus failing to fully unleash the power of his advanced talent.

This is similar to a young demon king, with high talent, great potential, and formidable combat power among those of the same level. Before its potential is fully realized, its cultivation progresses rapidly.

"Advanced talent is the key!"

Wu Tian is increasingly realizing that, apart from a few extremely special ones, such as the talent of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, low- and mid-level talents are completely incomparable to high-level talents.

Even the improvement of advanced talents can bring about changes far exceeding those before.

"We still need to work on advanced talents. I wonder what comes after advancing to the next level of advanced talents?"

He also made some speculations: "It is said that the Demon King possesses innate supernatural powers, while the Primordial Spirit True Person is the master of supernatural powers, comprehending supernatural powers from the laws of heaven and earth."

"Could it be that after advanced talent comes supernatural power?"

"Only if I have supernatural powers to protect me can I be considered a true demon king cub."

Wu Tian felt a longing; the more he learned about cultivation, the more he felt his own insignificance.

The universe is so vast that all living beings can obtain immortality and boundless supernatural powers by taking one of the principles of the universe.

Compared to heaven and earth, even a Primordial Spirit True Person and a Demon King appear incredibly insignificant.

After his talent advanced, he did not slack off; instead, he became even more immersed in cultivation.

"Soon comprehend the essence of the Dharma, solidify your true energy, break through the profound barrier, and begin forging the cauldron!"

Wu Tian focused more on the Swallowing Moon Qi Circulation Diagram, hoping to achieve Qi cultivation perfection as soon as possible.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Southern Xinjiang is hot, and even in winter, it rarely snows. However, in recent years, the weather has been gradually getting colder, and every winter the mountains and forests are covered with heavy snow.

As the twelfth lunar month passed, three consecutive days of heavy snow fell, covering the entire mountain forest in white, creating a scene of pristine white wonderland.

Such harsh weather caused many ferocious birds, beasts, poisonous insects, snakes, and ants in the mountains to freeze to death.

Hunting has become increasingly difficult for the villagers.

Fortunately, they had stored enough food, especially the flesh and blood of spirits and demons that could be preserved for a long time, which was enough to sustain them through this long and harsh winter.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, another year has passed.

The village gradually settled down, and the population had grown to five or six hundred people.

With the arrival of spring, the newly formed hunting team has split into three teams, each carrying a bow and knife, and accompanied by hunting dogs.

Those wild beasts that escaped hunger and cold now face the hunting of these humans.

When night falls, ghosts roam the night, and dark clouds cover the sky.

But moonlight still fell from the sky and was swallowed by Wu Tian.

The moonlight, like a light veil, surrounded his body, giving his already fair and lustrous fur a faint glow.

With each inhale and exhale, two beams of white light, like serpents, moved in and out between its mouth and nose.

He had reached the pinnacle of his cultivation of the Moon-Swallowing Qi Circulation Diagram, and could circulate the Qi through the heavens seventy-two times in one breath, continuously drawing upon the moon's essence.

At this moment, his body was completely enveloped in silver light, and a transformation from the inside out was taking place.

After such a long period of circulating true qi, it spreads from the seventy-two acupoints in the body to the limbs and bones. Every corner of the body is in the process of cultivation and is constantly being cleansed.

This is the foundation of immortal cultivation, using the essence of heaven and earth to cleanse the body and spirit, making one's body more suitable for cultivation, and forging the most suitable physique for the subsequent casting of the cauldron.

This is also the wonderful use of a superior Qi Circulation Diagram. Ordinary Qi Circulation Diagrams, although they can temper the body and increase combat power, cannot change the physical talent and are of no help to the cultivation of the cauldron.

At this moment, as the Moon Devouring Qi Circulation Diagram reached its completion, the moonlight, like a stream, submerged Wu Tian's body, and every inch of his body greedily devoured the moonlight.

Especially since he awakened his talent for ghosts and gods, every time he circulated his true energy, not only did moonlight descend from the sky, but also ghostly energy from the underworld surrounded him, nourishing his body and spirit.

Now, his cultivation has long surpassed the scope of the Moon Devouring Qi Circulation Diagram, and is transforming in a more unpredictable direction.

Silver Frost, who was breathing in moonlight beside Wu Tian, ​​suddenly twitched its fur and stopped its feeding. Its bright eyes looked at Wu Tian. In its eyes, Wu Tian's body seemed to be engulfed by an incredibly dense darkness. That profound darkness seemed to devour all light, even the night wind. There was no sound, and the surroundings were completely silent.

Wu Tian's body radiated an increasingly brilliant silver light. As time passed, his body seemed to transform into a bright moon, shining brightly in the deepest darkness.

Call ~
Suddenly, a gust of wind arose from the darkness, shattering the moonlight and breaking the silence, bringing the scene of a bright moon in the dark night to life.

Wisps of azure light spread, transforming into a gentle breeze and accompanying the bright moon.

Against the backdrop of deep darkness, the clear breeze and bright moon appeared even more vivid.

Wu Tian had an indescribable feeling at this moment, as if he had transformed into the wind, the moonlight, or a ghost in the dark night.

He seemed to have merged with the wind, the moon, and the netherworld, becoming a part of the universe.

This feeling is incredibly wonderful.

He even felt that he could draw upon the moonlight, inhale the essence of wind, and vanish into the shadows without using any spells.

Is this the meaning of the Dharma?

Wu Tian felt an indescribable sense of joy. He had a sudden realization that he had finally comprehended the three kinds of Dharma meaning at this moment.

Bright moon, wind, and the netherworld

After comprehending the meaning of the Dharma, he felt as if he had glimpsed the true world, or as if he had obtained the key to open the door to the world.

For the first time, he discovered how wonderful the world was.

In his eyes, every wisp of wind blowing through the mountains and forests contained endless variations of incantations, and the moonlight falling from the sky was even more vibrant with dense incantations.

Even in the densest darkness, it seemed possible to decipher all sorts of runes.

Since learning 8,600 runes from Bai Qian, he has never shown them to anyone, not even to Man Xiong Mu. He simply continues to communicate silently using the sound transmission talisman.

Although Bai Qian had told him that these 8,600 runes were the foundation summarized by the predecessors and sages who comprehended the principles of heaven and earth.

But he had never understood what legal principles were before.

Until this moment, after comprehending the meaning of the Dharma, he saw a new world.

In his eyes, the gentle breeze, the bright moon, and the darkness all contained endless variations of runes. Some of these were runes he had learned, but most were variations he had never seen before.

The universe is so vast, and the runes evolved from its laws are countless...

"Heaven and earth are boundless, the Great Dao is boundless, I will search high and low for it!"

Wu Tian couldn't help but roar to the sky, his voice resounding through the night sky like thunder. Even the ghostly beasts released from Skull Mountain retreated in panic as if they had seen a ghost or god after hearing this sound.

With a long howl, all the ghosts retreated.

"Only today have I seen the laws of heaven and earth."

He possessed a profound joy and freedom that came from the bottom of his heart.

It took a long time for me to calm down.

"From now on, I am at the third level of Qi cultivation and physical solidification."

Upon his breakthrough, Wu Tian comprehended three layers of Dharma intent. With a thought, the moonlight, wind essence, and ghostly energy naturally condensed behind him into a picture of a clear breeze and bright moon.

"I have grasped the essence of the Dharma; my true energy can transform into a picture of a gentle breeze and a bright moon."

"For ordinary cultivators, this can already be called the perfection of physical form."

"I could even use the Clear Breeze and Bright Moon Painting to break through the barrier and enter the fourth level of Qi Nourishment right now, using the principles of heaven and earth to cleanse my body and spirit, and completely perfect my cultivation of the Qi Nourishment Realm."

"But...it's not enough for me..."

After comprehending the meaning of the Dharma, he saw the true world and understood the principles he had not understood before.

"Once the barrier is broken, the laws of heaven and earth will cleanse my body and spirit. My soul and body will be influenced by the three laws of wind, moon, and the netherworld. When I comprehend these three laws, I will be like a favorite of heaven and earth."

"But when I try to comprehend other principles, the affected soul will make it as difficult for me as looking at flowers through fog, and the difficulty of comprehending other principles will increase more than tenfold."

"For example, Chi Limu may only need to comprehend the principles of fire, focusing on refinement and purity. Or, for those disciples of Skull Mountain who lack talent, comprehending even a single principle is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

“My situation is different from theirs. The Fire Eye Spell and Thunder Sound Spell are not far from perfection. At most, they will be perfected in a few more months.”

"At that time, you will be able to comprehend two different meanings of the Dharma."

"Wind, fire, thunder, moon, netherworld..."

"There might also be a Great Sun..."

"No, perhaps there is also the talent contained within the immortality."

Wu Tian felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about his talents, especially his intermediate-level talents.

"Let's be down-to-earth and first master the Fire Eye Spell and Thunder Sound Spell, then we'll see how things go!"

"However, I should perhaps practice a new transformation of the Twelve Demon God Transformations taught by Master Manxiong."

A silver glint flashed in Wu Tian's eyes as he focused his attention on his abdominal pouch. As his cultivation level continued to improve and his talent for swallowing mountains also increased, the space inside his abdomen was now growing larger and larger.

Inside its belly, there are now two items.

One is a Ruyi whip with a copper bell hanging from its handle.

One is the mysterious ancient arrow that was pulled from the ghost infant in the icy pool.

Among them, the Ruyi Whip was the result of his successful practice of combining the Ruyi Whip, the Snake Robe and the Soul-Sweeping Bell over the past six months. He combined these three magical artifacts with the Ruyi Mantra and continuously refined them.

To other cultivators, this is the behavior of a spendthrift; refining the three magical artifacts separately would naturally enrich their own methods.

But for him, it was rather of little use.

My strength has improved too quickly. It won't be long before I'm able to enter the realm of casting cauldrons and refine magical artifacts.

Such a mere magical artifact is hardly enough to support his current combat power system.

Therefore, Wu Tian put in a lot of hard work to master the three magical artifacts together. When this whip is thrown, it can transform into a giant black-scaled serpent that can swallow water, fire, wind, and thunder, and holds a bell in its mouth. The sound of the bell can seduce and steal souls.

If you hold it as a weapon, it can change size and unleash a torrent of water, fire, wind, and thunder with a single whip strike, accompanied by a soul-stirring sound; its power is considerable.

After all, it was the first cursed artifact he personally sacrificed, and now it can be said that it has achieved initial results.

But what Wu Tian didn't expect was that the ancient arrow, after being nourished by the Thunder Sound Mantra for the past six months, seemed to be gradually reviving.

The occasional fierce aura emanating from it inexplicably reminded him of the ancient sword that Chi Limu had held during the demonic calamity.

"So, this is a magic weapon?!"
