Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 92 Breakthrough! Breakthrough! (Please subscribe)

The underground cave has a unique environment. The first cave leads directly into the interior of Trapped Sky Mountain, with entrances on all sides.

The second level is underground, a naturally formed cave with a much larger area. Larger monsters and spirits mostly live on this level.

The third level of the cave can be reached through three passages. This level is deep in the earth, with a dark environment and underground rivers flowing through it, converging into a small underground pool.

Although the area is not large, it is impossible to find this place unless you are very familiar with underground caves.

Even if enemies break in through those three passages, they can always escape along the underground river.

Of course, the entrance to the underground river is very narrow, and some larger monsters simply cannot get out of the underground river.

Wu Tian carefully examined the place for a long time and was very satisfied with the secluded cultivation spot he had chosen.

After the three human-faced spiders left, he focused his gaze on a certain direction of the underground river. Under the influence of his innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, he discovered that there seemed to be a significant opportunity there.

"The most urgent task now is to go into seclusion and break through to a higher level of cultivation."

"No other opportunity is as important as a breakthrough in cultivation. After I break through, I will go to this underground river to see what treasures it holds."

With this thought in mind, Wu Tian didn't delay any longer and lay down on the somewhat dark and damp ground. In this place, the essence of the sun and moon was scarce, but the aura of the underworld and ghosts was very strong.

He activated his Undying Body of Ghosts and Gods, inhaling and exhaling the ghostly and malevolent energy from all directions. After these evil energies entered his body, they were refined by the power of ghosts and gods, making his true energy even purer.

The power of demons and gods is born from death. Whether it is the aura of the underworld or the aura of the pure and yang, they can be transformed and harmonized into a unique power of demons and gods.

As the power of the spirits circulated within his body, every limb, bone, muscle, and every corner of his body was being cleansed by this power. Under this refinement, his physical talents were also being subtly improved and transformed.

After the fierce and brutal battle, Wu Tian's intermediate talent, which was already close to being promoted, finally began to transform step by step under the tempering of the power of the demon god.

The first thing to change was the size of the Ruyi. Although this intermediate talent seemed magical, it wasn't as useful in battle as Wu Tian had imagined after he obtained it.

He originally thought that the talent of "size at will" involved the mysteries of the void, but as he was honed and tempered by the power of ghosts and gods, he gradually came to understand the deepest mystery of this ultimate talent.

"Life and Change!"

"I see……"

"The concept of 'the size of the wish-fulfilling object' has nothing to do with emptiness; rather, it is a manifestation of the principles related to life and change..."

Upon realizing this, the intermediate-level talent of "Size and Size at Will" naturally came to fruition.

Ding! System notification: Your intermediate talent, "Size Ruyi," has reached completion and can be fused with the "Undying Body of Ghosts and Gods." Would you like to fuse with it?

"Yes!"

As Wu Tian's thought settled, the large and small Ruyi began to merge with the Ghost God's Undying Body talent. This fusion was very fast, and no fundamental changes occurred.

The change was completed in just a few breaths.

Ding! System notification: Your Ghostly Undying God Fusion with the Size of the Divine Blessing talent has increased your Ghostly God traits and power.

Note: Ghosts and spirits possess immense strength, are made of steel and iron, can fly and burrow underground, walk between Yin and Yang, possess souls and spirits, enjoy absorbing Yang energy, and their bodies can change at will. They are born from heaven and earth and are reborn from death.

Wu Tian glanced at it and found that the Ghost God Undying God was basically the same as before, except that it had added the ability to change its body at will.

He stood up from the ground, his body swayed, and immediately began to grow larger, turning into a height of three zhang in the blink of an eye, his head already touching the rock wall.

Immediately afterward, a ball of fire ignited on his body, and when the fire subsided, he had shrunk to the size of a fist.

Wu Tian shook his fur, restoring his body to its original size of about three feet. "Not bad. Compared to the original size Ruyi, the ratio of being able to enlarge and shrink is greater than before."

"It's just that the space in this underground cave is limited, otherwise I should have been able to grow to five or six zhang tall."

He wagged his tail contentedly and continued to channel the power of the demons and gods within his body, refining his form and unlocking his innate potential.

Time passed slowly, and on the third day, another talent gradually reached perfection, revealing the most fundamental mysteries of the talent.

Ding! System notification: Your talent "Swallowing Mountains" has reached its peak and can be promoted to an advanced talent. Please choose one of the following two advanced talents.

Option 1, Devouring Heaven, resonates with the talent Devouring Mountains and Fiery Eyes, touching the wonders of the void. It can open up the void within the abdomen, absorb the essence of the sun and moon to strengthen the origin of the void, and enhance the talent.

Option two, Devour: The talent Devouring Mountain resonates with the Undying Body of Ghosts and Gods, touching upon the mysteries of birth and death, allowing one to devour all things and strengthen the body of ghosts and gods.

When Wu Tian first saw that the talent "Swallowing the Mountain" could be directly promoted to a high-level talent, he was overjoyed, knowing that other intermediate talents basically required fusion and transformation.

Only those with sufficient potential can be promoted to advanced talents.

The fact that Tun Yue can be directly promoted means that it has great potential.

However, these two new options are giving people a headache.

Each option presented by the system panel represents a different path, and each choice represents the direction of one's future cultivation.

If someone else were to make that choice, it's very likely that their cultivation system would be completely different from what they've developed so far.

This change in the Devouring Mountain talent is now directly related to two advanced talents.

These are Devouring Heaven after resonating with the Fiery Eyes of Truth, and Devouring after resonating with the Undying God of Ghosts and Gods.

One involves the mysteries of the void, the other can devour everything.

Both of these options offer incredibly promising future prospects.

"The sun and moon are in the void. This could very well lead to the path of creating an inner world. Perhaps one day I will have a world within my own abdomen."

"But devouring life and death means devouring everything, destroying everything, and may even lead to the terrifying direction of swallowing an entire world in one gulp."

"How to choose?"

Wu Tian was genuinely hesitant. He possessed a talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, and he vaguely sensed that these two options were crucial to his future.

"The first option is still to borrow the power of heaven and earth, which is not much different from the practice of cultivators."

"The second option is to devour everything directly. This is a naked ferocious beast, vicious to the core."

His instinct was to devour everything, whether it was the enemy's soul, flesh, or bones, to strengthen his immortal body.

If anyone dares to provoke me in the future, I will swallow their head, which is larger than a mountain, with a flick of my wrist.

Tyrannical, ferocious, and terrifying!
This is a truly terrible omen!

His innate ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune made him realize that choosing this path would inevitably lead to countless calamities.

Choosing the path of the sun, moon, and void is much more peaceful and offers many opportunities. There are also numerous scriptures created by predecessors and sages on this path, which can help him cultivate faster and more steadily.

In the dark underground cave, Wu Tian pondered silently for a long time before finally making his choice.

His eyes flickered with uncertainty as he made up his mind.

"Immortal body!"

Countless thoughts churned in his mind, yet he still made this choice. There were countless reasons to choose, and countless reasons not to choose. He carefully sensed with his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, only to discover that choosing to devour the heavens brought both opportunity and disaster.

Choosing to devour brings disaster first, but opportunity later.

Devouring the heavens is a minor opportunity, but a major disaster.

Devouring, however, is a minor calamity but a major opportunity.

"If that's the case, then let's choose to devour it!"

As Wu Tian made his decision, the Devouring Mountain talent changed rapidly.

Ding! System notification: You have acquired the advanced talent Devour.

Ding! System notification: The advanced talent Devouring can be fused with the Undying Body of Ghosts and Gods...

Ding!Ding!Ding!
An extremely urgent system notification sounded.

System notification: After fusing the advanced talent Devouring with the Undying Body of Ghosts and Gods, you will embark on the path of ancient demons and gods. Please choose carefully! Please choose carefully!

This was the first time Wu Tian had seen such a serious notification from the system since he acquired it.

Even the text displayed on the system panel turned blood red, exuding a chilling aura and conveying a sense of great terror and crisis.

"Having already chosen to devour, how can we give up halfway?"

Wu Tian suddenly remembered what Bai Qian had once told him.

"Bai Qian once said that if the Demon King wants to go further and become a Demon Saint, or even a supreme Great Saint, one of the paths is to choose to cultivate the path of immortals and Buddhas."

"There is another path, which is the path of the ancient demon gods."

"Could this Demon God Path be the crisis sensed by the innate talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune?"

He seemed to be deep in thought, sensing the prompts from his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, and directly chose to confirm.

The next moment, all the anomalies on the system panel disappeared.

Ding! System notification: Your advanced talent Devouring and advanced talent Undying God have been successfully fused.

Ding! System notification: You have obtained the advanced talent, Demon God's Body.

Demon God's Body: A demon god's body containing the laws of life and death, capable of devouring the energies of life and death to strengthen the demon god's body.

The current characteristics of the Demon God's Body are: copper skin and iron bones, ability to change size at will, ability to fly and escape underground, and immortality.

Note: The Path of the Demon God is the supreme path that predecessors and sages walked after comprehending the ancient innate path of the demon gods. It does not cultivate one's nature, but only one's destiny. It unites the body with the laws of heaven and earth, reverses the innate nature after birth, and reshapes the innate demon god body.

Wu Tian discovered that in the description on the system panel, the original "devour all things" had been changed to "devour life and death energies".

This might seem like a weakening, but he vaguely felt it wasn't; rather, it was a purification of its path, a systemic correction that allowed it to embark on a broader road.

Even the calamities that the talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune originally sensed were weakened considerably.

As the system panel changed, his body also began to transform.

The power of the ghosts and gods within him was rapidly disappearing, merging into his limbs and bones. His mind was momentarily dazed, and even his soul seemed about to shatter.

In a daze, he saw countless dense incantations interwoven in black and white, completely enveloping his body.

Not long after, Wu Tian fell into a deep sleep.

The two energies of life and death enveloped his body, constantly tempering and nourishing him, causing him to transform in a direction unimaginable to the mortal world.

Dense runes began to appear in his flesh, bones, and even soul. Each rune explained the mysteries of life and death, changing the characteristics of his body and soul.

This scene was incredibly terrifying, resembling the moment when heaven and earth were first created, giving birth to innate demon gods. Each innate demon god represented a great Dao, and they themselves were the embodiment of the Dao.

God of Fire, God of Water, God of the Sun, God of the Moon, God of War, God of the Underworld...

Those ancient gods and demons have long since vanished from the world.

However, some people in later generations followed in the footsteps of the innate gods and demons, wanting to defy their innate nature and transform into innate demon gods with their mortal bodies.

As for Wu Tian, ​​this little demon, under the influence of the system panel, he was baptized by the laws of life and death, and the life and death incantations were engraved into his flesh and soul, changing the essence of his life.

This change lasted for more than a year before gradually stopping.

Wu Tian awoke from his deep sleep and slowly opened his eyes.

It took him a long time to come to his senses and remember everything that had happened.

He quickly checked his body, but the changes he experienced soon made him feel somewhat flustered.

Wu Tian shook his head slightly and stood up from the ground. He did not feel strong at all; instead, he had the illusion that he had lost all his strength.

Although my body felt very relaxed and full of energy, I didn't have the power to split mountains and shatter rocks that I had imagined. Instead, I felt like an ordinary white dog.

It was as if I had returned to the time when I first came into this world, without any power.

"How can this be?"

"Wasn't it said that I had formed the body of a demon god? Why do I feel like I've lost all my power?"

He tried to calm himself down and not let himself panic.

As his mind gradually calmed down, he finally noticed the difference.

"There seems to be an incredibly terrifying power hidden within my body. To unleash this power, I need to take the lead."

This incredibly terrifying power permeated the soul and body, seemingly capable of uniting the soul and body into a terrifying demonic form with a mere thought.

He was itching to do it, and then he did.

With Wu Tian's previous cultivation level, it would have been impossible for him to sense the soul, let alone perform such an inconceivable operation as fusing the soul with the physical body.

But at this moment, this behavior seems like an instinct, coming naturally.

In the blink of an eye, the soul and the body merge, just like two streams of water merging together, becoming one.

The death mantras that were originally densely distributed within the soul merged with the life mantras that were densely distributed within the body, thus becoming complete.

Life and death intertwined, and an incomparably terrifying force swept through his entire body in an instant.

His originally snow-white fur instantly turned jet black, and his originally dark yellow pupils also turned pure black.

A large dog with jet-black fur appeared in the spot.
