“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!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
