108 Ways to Become a Demon

“I want the General to always accompany me. If the General can also embark on the Dao, then he can accompany me forever!”

As soon as Su Qiluo said this, Du ke in her arms was at a loss for words.

Good girl, I did not spoil you in vain!

This question really struck Du ke's sore spot.

“A cat embarking on the Dao?”

Su Xiuwu, holding the hot water bottle, focused his gaze on Du ke in Su Qiluo's arms. Du ke, under Su Xiuwu's gaze, posed obediently in Su Qiluo's arms, lying docilely with eyes blinking at Su Xiuwu.

Facing such a cute cat, don't you want to say something?

"Hmph!"

Su Xiuwu shook his head with a smile. “Qiluo, when will you grow up?”

"Third uncle..."

Su Qiluo pretended to cry, a tactic that never failed for her.

"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you!"

Su Xiuwu helplessly raised his hand to rub his forehead and sighed lightly. If it was any other child who dared to ask this, he would have kicked them away already.

But Su Qiluo was different. Since her birth, she had manifested returning to the ancestor's bloodline, with bloodline purity comparable to their ancestors.

This was also why all the Su family doted on her.

Simply put, she had this qualification from a young age!

"There are precedents of cats embarking on the Dao, but..." Su Xiuwu looked at the expectant Du ke and uttered, “...difficult, very difficult, as difficult as ascending to Heaven!"

As soon as Su Xiuwu said this, Du ke's face immediately fell. He actually could not embark on the Dao‽

Damn, how annoying!

Su Qiluo's face also fell at the same time. She stroked Du ke's fur sorrowfully and said dejectedly: "Then can the General not accompany me for too long?"

"Qiluo, I just said your cat can't embark on the Dao, but that doesn't mean your cat has no other way."

As soon as Su Xiuwu said this, Du ke's eyes lit up immediately. But when he saw the mocking expression on Su Xiuwu's face, he immediately understood that this old guy was just teasing Su Qiluo.

"There really is a way?"

Su Qiluo quickly asked again. Su Xiuwu stroked the hot water bottle in his arms and coughed before saying, "There is a way."

"Hmm..." Su Xiuwu pondered slightly, then raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "How about this? I was going to end it today, but since Qiluo brought this up, let me tell you about beasts embarking on cultivation!"

"After all, you will eventually have to face those guys sooner or later."

As he said this, a different smile appeared at the corner of Su Xiuwu's mouth.

This smile was captured by Du ke, making him unconsciously narrow his eyes. This sickly guy, there seemed to be something hidden in his words!

"Cough cough..."

Su Xiuwu coughed a few times and said directly: "According to my understanding, there are several ways for beasts to embark on the Dao."

"The first is that the beast has great fortune to ascend to Heaven, or is enlightened by a powerful being, or hears the Dharma of a powerful being. If either one of these happens, it can directly embark on the Dao."

"However, such cases only exist in ancient texts, and we have never heard of such a precedent here."

When Su Xiuwu said this, he glanced at the children below him, who were all resting their cheeks on their hands and listening attentively.

It looked like they were treating what Su Xiuwu said as a story.

"The second way, you guys are actually familiar with, which is to become a monster."

At this point, Su Xiuwu's eyes also became serious, and his voice became low.

"Monsters harm others."

"All descendants of the Su family must slay any monsters they encounter!"

"You must remember this point!"

When Su Xiuwu spoke, his words carried a chill killing intent, making Du ke shiver.

He always felt that this sickly guy had an indescribable disgust and hatred for the monsters he mentioned.

Facing Su Xiuwu's warning, all the children nodded blankly.

"Third uncle, how do monsters cultivate?"

A child raised his hand. Su Xiuwu glanced at him and said directly: "There are three ways. The first is to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. As the years go by, the monster power grows deeper. We call this kind of monster Spirit Monster!"

"The second is to directly devour heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enlighten spirituality and open their orifices, embarking on the path of cultivation. A very small portion of this kind will also become Spirit Monsters."

"The vast majority will become the third kind!"

"Which is the Blood Monster that relies on eating people to cultivate!"

"Blood monsters have violent and cruel dispositions. They must be killed on sight, otherwise they will gather in the mountains and forests and become a scourge."

After Su Xiuwu said this, the children below immediately became noisy.

"I must kill monsters in the future!"

"Yeah, me too!"

"Not killing monsters means you're not a descendant of the Su family!"

"Kill all those man-eating Blood Monsters!"

..........

Seeing the excited Su descendants, Su Xiuwu nodded quite gratifyingly. If he had a beard, he might even stroke his beard and nod to show his inner satisfaction.

"Third uncle, what about the third way?"

Su Qiluo hugged Du ke tightly and asked Su Xiuwu nervously. Su Xiuwu smiled and said, "The third is more common compared to the first two. We call this kind Spirit Monster."

"Most Spirit Monsters were ordinary birds, beasts, grass and trees that have lived for a long time, gained enlightenment and opened their spirituality, hiding in this mundane world. Compared to Dao Monsters, Spirit Monsters and Blood Monsters, these Spirit Monsters are the least threatening."

"Third uncle, are there many monsters?"

Another child spoke up to ask a question. Du ke also pricked up his ears. He didn't dare miss a single word he heard today.

"There are both many and not many monsters, few yet not scarce!"

Su Xiuwu shook his head. Before anyone could ask again, he directly said: "Monsters are different from us humans. Humans are the essence of all things. Whether it's cultivation or other things, it's like having divine assistance."

"But monsters are different. Monsters will face heavenly tribulations!"

At this time, Su Xiuwu stared at Du ke in Su Qiluo's arms meaningfully and said: "The moment monsters embark on the Dao, they have to face celestial trials, also known as Heavenly Tribulations."

"With every level and tribulation passed, you gain eternal freedom; if you fail, your little life will be hard to preserve!"

"Then Third Uncle, doesn't that mean my General can't cultivate‽ "

Su Qiluo hugged Du ke dejectedly. Su Xiuwu looked at Du ke in Su Qiluo's arms and said, "It's very difficult for now!"

"Unless you can find heavenly materials and earthly treasures or find another way. Your dad should have some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but other methods need to be explored slowly."

"Oh, I see." A gleam flashed in Su Qiluo's eyes. "When I go back, I’ll ask dad to give me some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to help the General embark on the Dao!"

As soon as the girl said this, Su Xiuwu immediately started coughing violently.

"Cough cough cough cough cough!!!"

After covering his mouth and coughing violently for a while, Su Xiuwu finally recovered. He looked at Su Qiluo with a different expression and said, "Don't say that no matter what, if you do, your dad will skin me alive."

"But I want my General to embark on the Dao!"

"Well!" Su Xiuwu felt a headache coming. Why did he get himself into this situation earlier? Now he couldn't get out of it.

"Let third uncle go back and check the ancient texts to see if there is a way!"

"Alright, that's it for today's martial arts lesson, class dismissed!"

After saying this, Su Xiuwu fled XiuWu Pavilion's second floor as if escaping. Seeing Su Xiuwu leave so flusteredly, Du ke immediately curled his lips disdainfully.

This sickly guy was obviously just deceiving the children.

However, it was not bad to know so much. At least he knew how to walk the path forward.

Moreover, becoming a monster...

Du ke's eyes flickered uncertainly.

"Oh, class is finally over!"

"Second brother, I caught a big centipede earlier, want to see?"

"Let’s go home, little sister."

"Seventh brother, wait for me!"

........

After Su Xiuwu left, the group of children immediately scattered, each finding acquainted siblings to go play.

Su Qiluo also got up from the cushion holding Du ke, stroking Du ke's back. She said to Du ke in her arms: "General, I will definitely find a way for you to embark on the Dao!"

"I definitely will!"

"Believe me, I will definitely make you embark on the Dao."

"You protected me in my dreams, now I want to protect you!"
