Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 95 The Twelfth Grade Dao Embryo Technique (Please Subscribe)

Wu Tian was practically drooling, nodding frantically as if afraid this senior expert wouldn't see him.

"Could this be the hidden opportunity following the disaster?"

"Is it because you need to suppress the demon god's body that you have to directly teach me the most powerful techniques?"

He was overjoyed, thinking it was just a false alarm and that there was still a great opportunity ahead.

Seeing his expression, Zhu Yeshuang let out a cold laugh, "Why would I pass on the true teachings of my sect's protectors to you?"

Do you think I received the true teachings of Taiqing Temple for nothing?

"Do you know how many demon kings, even demon saints, in this world have tried to enter my Taiqing Temple to obtain a single scroll of Dharma teachings, but have failed to do so?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian felt somewhat disappointed.

The immortal path in this world is so prosperous that those ancient beings have cultivated for countless years, passing it down from generation to generation, and have long since expanded the path of cultivation to an immeasurable extent.

He dared to act recklessly and arbitrarily choose his own path of cultivation based solely on his own feelings and the system panel, which would inevitably lead to many problems.

This unexpected involvement with the path of ancient demons and gods is a case in point.

Could it be that because of this incident, Zhu Yeshuang no longer intends to pass on her teachings to him?

Fortunately, Wu Tian was quite resilient, and he quickly realized that if Zhu Yeshuang really didn't intend to teach him the true techniques, she wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to him.

Upon realizing this, he had a sudden inspiration and immediately bowed respectfully to Zhu Yeshuang.

"Wow~"

"Ha, you still want to put on airs in front of me?" Zhu Yeshuang couldn't help but sneer. "You've even cultivated the Primordial Demon God Path to this level, yet you still can't utter incantations?"

"You naughty dog!"

"How can someone like that be accepted into my tutelage?"

Wu Tian was shocked. His self-perceived composure and shrewdness seemed like child's play in front of this senior expert who had lived for hundreds of years.

The two sides' understanding and experience of spiritual practice are not on the same level at all.

After Zhu Yeshuang's thorough investigation, everything about him was exposed.

"Our Taiqing Temple is a major sect in the Central Plains and a sacred place for cultivation. Even if you go to the Northern Heavenly Gate in the future, the sect can bestow a talisman, which even wandering immortals from other sects cannot obtain."

"What is there for you, a mere white dog from southern Xinjiang, to be proud of?"

"To try and cover it up is outrageous."

Zhu Yeshuang's merciless rebuke made Wu Tian's face burn with embarrassment. It was only because of the white fur covering his body that he felt so ashamed.

He took a deep breath, letting go of all his hopes, calculations, pretenses, and panic, trying to calm himself down, and then respectfully prostrated himself on the ground.

"White Dragon, a little demon from the Southern Frontier, pays respects to senior."

"Please, senior, have mercy and accept me as your disciple."

Wu Tian uttered the incantation with a respectful tone and earnest attitude, showing no trace of impetuosity.

Having been reborn as a human in one life and a dog in the next, and possessing a system panel at his side, he considered himself a chosen one of heaven, capable of running rampant without restraint.

Little did they know that those who cultivate to the point of spiritual enlightenment in this life can be reincarnated. So what are two lifetimes if they add up to only a few decades?
Whether it's the second generation or the system panel, they are merely one's own foundation and resources.

Blindly relying on others and being ignorant of one's own limitations will inevitably lead to one's downfall sooner or later.

Upon realizing this, Wu Tian felt his mind clear and his world expand.

In Zhu Yeshuang's eyes, the dog's aura was originally murky and turbid, like a blob of colorful paints mixed together.

At this moment, however, things became clear, especially the auspicious energy surrounding him, which rose higher and higher, crossing a certain boundary.

"He is indeed blessed with good fortune, quick wit, and a fairly good temperament."

Zhu Yeshuang was immediately satisfied. "Now, this little guy can truly be called an auspicious beast."

Ever since Wu Tian used his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune to help her see through the fog, she has been preparing to bring Wu Tian into the Taiqing Temple.

The Taiqing Temple has an exceptionally strict review process for admitting members of the demon race. Their origins, backgrounds, and cultivation experiences must be thoroughly investigated, and a Yuan Shen Zhenren (a high-ranking and powerful cultivator) with a certain status and position must personally vouch for them.

The demons who enter Taiqing Temple all cultivate the true teachings of the Dharma Protector lineage. Among these teachings are many methods that lead directly to higher realms. As long as they succeed in their cultivation, they all have the opportunity to become a demon saint of the Dharma Protector lineage.

Such a profound method cannot be lightly transmitted!
That's why she reprimanded the white dog so sternly when she discovered that it had unknowingly strayed onto the path of the ancient demon god.

If his cultivation of the ancient demonic path hadn't been incomplete, leaving room for redemption, this one incident would have completely severed his chances of entering the Taiqing Temple.

Fortunately, the dog was obedient enough that after a scolding, it finally realized its mistake and returned to the right path, no longer continuing to be stubborn.

The changes in his mind and the resulting flow of auspicious energy were perfectly clear to her.

She could tell at a glance whether it was insincere or feigned.

At this moment, Wu Tian also heard the system panel notification.

Ding! System notification: Your intermediate talent, "Avoiding Misfortune and Seeking Good Fortune," has advanced to the advanced talent, "Auspicious Beast." Please check the details yourself.

Upon hearing the system notification, Wu Tian remained calm and did not become excited as usual.

There are too many temptations and unknowns on the path of cultivation. He urgently needs guidance from senior masters to tell him what the true path is.

Otherwise, if they make a mistake, they will only suffer the consequences later.

Zhu Yeshuang stared at him quietly for a long time before breaking the silence with her words.

"To become my disciple, with your qualifications, you are barely qualified."

"But I must say this first: the ancient demonic path is the great enemy of my immortal path, and a calamity for all living beings in the world."

"If you wish to become my disciple, you must use the true methods of my sect to remove the traces of the Primordial Demon God Path."

"If you are reluctant to leave the Primordial Demon God Path, you may leave now."

Wu Tian replied without hesitation, "This junior is willing to follow your instructions, senior, and is willing to give up the Primordial Demon God Path."

Zhu Yeshuang added, "If you become my disciple, you must never set foot in the Ancient Demon God Path again, or I will personally kill you."

"This time, considering your youth and ignorance, and the lack of guidance from others, I will spare your life."

"If there is a next time, I will kill you without mercy. Don't say I didn't warn you."

Wu Tian bowed deeply and said, "I will remember this and never dare to do it again."

Zhu Yeshuang nodded. "If you become a disciple of my sect, you must abide by the precepts and rules of my Taiqing Sect. If you do not wish to be bound by them, you may return to the mountains and forests."

Wu Tian paused for a moment before agreeing without hesitation.

There is never absolute freedom in this world. Even when studying, one must abide by the corresponding rules, and when living in a country, one must abide by the local laws. When in Rome, do as the Romans do; that's all there is to it.

Of course, if you have enough strength and can break the rules, that's another matter entirely.

Now that he wants to learn the Dharma, he naturally has to follow the rules of Taiqing Temple.

This is normal.

“In that case, I will accept you as my disciple.” Zhu Yeshuang said, a smile appearing on her face for the first time.

She simply smiled, and the entire room seemed to brighten up, instantly dispelling the solemn and oppressive atmosphere from before.

"Disciple pays homage to master!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian was overjoyed. Reborn into this world as a dog, he struggled and cultivated for years, engaging in scheming and fighting against humans and fierce battles with demonic beasts, while also accidentally straying onto the path of the demon god.

Now that he had finally found a wise teacher, he was overjoyed.

Despite being a white dog, tears welled up in its eyes.

Seeing his excited expression, Zhu Yeshuang's tone softened considerably, no longer as cold as before.

“Once you become my disciple and return to the temple, you will naturally be registered and your lineage recorded. There will be all sorts of complicated rules and rituals involved.”

"But these are things to do after we return to our sect. For now, we'll keep things simple."

"More importantly, solve your own problems."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian said somewhat nervously, "Please give me your guidance, Master."

Zhu Yeshuang said, "The reason why the Ancient Demon God Path is called Ancient is because at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, they were innate demon gods born from the natural world. They are the embodiment of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and possess great supernatural powers and great strength that are unimaginable to mortals."

"But as times changed, those innate demon gods either transformed into immortals in the world or severed their physical bodies to rebuild their great Dao, each achieving their own success."

"The true innate demon gods no longer exist."

"The most important reason for this is that the innate demon gods are in harmony with the Great Dao. Over time, they will inevitably transform the world into the Dao, and this process is unstoppable."

"Just like rivers flowing into the sea, they flow endlessly, but eventually they will reach the sea."

"The so-called transformation into the Dao is to lose oneself, to lose one's true self, to merge with heaven and earth, to be without knowledge or self, and to become a part of the great Dao of heaven and earth."

"It is said that above the Great Sun there was a primordial demon god, the Golden Crow, but it has long since transformed into a part of the Great Sun, shining upon heaven and earth and nourishing all things."

Wu Tian understood upon hearing this. Although he had only just begun to explore the path of the Demon God, he could already sense the dangers of this path. To combine the laws of heaven and earth with one's own soul and body in such a way was simply insane.

As one's cultivation level increases and the laws of heaven and earth become more profound, one may even merge with heaven and earth and become a part of the universe.

Can one's own will truly withstand the torrent of nature?
After Zhu Yeshuang pointed out the key to this, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and a sense of lingering fear.

"The path of the ancient demon gods is a dead end, a dead end." Zhu Yeshuang said decisively, "For the innate demon gods, heaven and earth nurtured them, and in the end, they returned to heaven and earth. This is life and death."

"It is no different from the life and death of ordinary people."

"We cultivators seek enlightenment and comprehend the laws, but our goal is not to become ancient innate demon gods with a higher essence of life, but to pursue the path to immortality."

"In fact, this path of pursuing immortality was first opened up by those innate demon gods who did not want to become immortals."

"Even today, many ancient lineages were originally established by those innate demon gods as an attempt to rebuild the path of cultivation."

"If you pursue the path of the ancient demon gods, even if you can obtain supernatural powers and magic in a short period of time, you will actually be going astray and will find it difficult to achieve the right result."

Zhu Yeshuang earnestly warned, "Even those innate demon gods had to find another path, let alone these ancient demon gods who aren't even innate demon gods, but are merely pursuing the path of innate demon gods!"

"How many of those who went far on the path of ancient demons and gods ended up with a good fate?!"

"I hope you can understand my good intentions and never go astray again."

"You must remember this! Remember this!"

Listening to Zhu Yeshuang's repeated admonitions and warnings, Wu Tian understood her good intentions. She was afraid that he would be ungrateful and covet the power of the ancient demon god's path, thus one day stepping back onto the demonic path.

"Master, I understand."

He nodded solemnly. If there were a direct path to heaven, why bother pursuing a path that has already been broken?

"That's good then." Zhu Yeshuang smiled faintly, swayed her red skirt slightly, sat down at the table in the cave, picked up the jade cup, and a stream of turquoise spiritual liquid flowed out and disappeared into the jade cup.

She took a small sip, and the elixir entered her mouth.

After setting down the jade cup, he continued, "To resolve your problem, you must cultivate the two true techniques of the Dharma Protector lineage that I just mentioned."

“Other true methods are either too low-grade or unsuitable, and cannot solve your problems at all.”

"But the Dao Embryo Method of the twelfth grade is the most advanced true transmission method in Taiqing Temple. It can be compared with the true transmission of the Dao Embryo Method of the sect leader's lineage."

"Looking across the entire Central Plains, even the superior Dao Embryo methods of the seventh to ninth grades are extremely rare, let alone the top-tier Dao Embryo methods of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, which many people have never even heard of."

Wu Tianxin was somewhat excited. Neither the Howling Celestial Dog Dharma Form nor the Three-Headed Hellhound Dharma Form were things he had never even considered before.

If we could obtain the true method, all those ancient demonic paths could be thrown to the wind.

"Please, Master, transmit the Dharma!!!"

He couldn't care less about anything else and prostrated himself again to beg for the Dharma. As long as he could obtain the true Dharma, nothing was too much to ask for.

Zhu Yeshuang revealed a half-smile on her face: "Which Dao Embryo Method do you want to learn, the Twelfth Grade Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture which has one hundred and eight transformations, or the Eleventh Grade Dao Embryo Method Three-Headed Demon God Suppressing Prison Scripture which has ninety-nine transformations?"

Wu Tian hesitated for only a moment before quickly saying, "Disciple is willing to learn more?"

Zhu Yeshuang couldn't help but snort coldly, and then unleashed another beam of crimson magic light, sending the dog in front of her tumbling over.

"You greedy bastard, you're being greedy again."

Wu Tian was stunned by the beating and tentatively said, "Then how about I learn the Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture?"

"Are you still picking and choosing here?" Zhu Yeshuang sneered. "The Sun and Moon Howling Heaven Scripture is an incomplete Dao scripture left behind by the ancient innate god and demon Howling Heaven Dog. It was only after our sect's senior ancestors comprehended it and perfected it over countless years that the complete Dao Embryo Method was created."

"The Three-Headed Demon God's Prison Suppression Scripture is different. It evolved from an ancient demon god's path. No matter what kind of being it is, it can transform into three heads and burn with the true fire of hell."

"Therefore, it is also known as the three-headed demon god of hell."

"If you, dog, were to cultivate this true scripture, you would eventually attain the form of a three-headed hellhound."

"but……"

Zhu Yeshuang waved her hand, "I don't know either of these two true scriptures."

Wu Tiangou's eyes widened. So you're just teasing the dog here?
