Ascension failed, the system took me away

The concept of luck is a rather mysterious one even in the extraordinary world.

Practitioners who dabble in this art can observe the existence of various fortunes through the method of looking at qi.

Mortal monks have luck, demons and monsters have luck, some natural treasures have luck, and countries, as an aggregate, also have luck.

However, ordinary practitioners can only deduce some information about good and bad luck, rise and fall through the trajectory of luck, and it is difficult to directly interfere with such conceptual things.

However, you can use indirect methods to achieve the goal of changing your destiny.

But such actions are thankless.

Pu Du Ci Hang has a profound understanding of the art of destiny, even more powerful than the Taoist monks who focus on numerology and divination.

He gathered the destiny of the dynasty and wanted to shed his mortal body, change his fate, leap over the Dragon Gate and turn into a dragon to achieve enlightenment.

There are generally two directions for demon cultivation.

One is the goblin, that is, the scholar.

After refining the primordial spirit, it abandons its demon body. The primordial spirit does not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but retains its memories to hide it from the underworld, and is directly put into the womb of a pregnant woman in the human world.

In this secret way, one can be reborn as a human being, becoming a human and changing one's origin.

However, Baoliu's memory is not always clear because the fetus's fragile brain cannot bear it.

Therefore, the original memory will be temporarily sealed, and the fetus will not remember its past life after birth.

They will slowly unlock and awaken as they grow up, usually showing signs at the age of toddler, and will completely recall their past lives by the age of 18.

Of course, it is also possible that they awaken even later, when they reach the age of twenty, or even that they may never awaken their past life memories in their entire lifetime.

It was not until he was old and his soul went to the underworld that he remembered it, but by then it was too late.

This phenomenon of memory seal awakening is called the 'mystery in the womb'.

As long as the method of secretly reincarnating into a human being is successful, one can obtain a human body with superior talents.

They can also join the human race's sect system, obtain a ticket to ascend to heaven, and transform from a wild monster into a regular human.

It's a bit like a Tamagotchi that does everything it can to get rid of the beacon of civilization.

But it also has risks. After all, the rates of miscarriage and infant death are still very high in this era.

Therefore, people usually have a backup plan to protect their reincarnated bodies and ensure they safely pass through their childhood.

The second method of practice is to retain the demon body.

Most of the alien species that can become demons can trace their bloodlines back to some powerful ancient beasts.

For example, fish and snakes in the water may carry the blood of dragons.

The ancestor of the beasts on land may be the auspicious Qilin.

The birds flying in the sky may also be descendants of the Phoenix and Kunpeng.

It’s just that because the time is too long, the bloodline has been diluted through generations of hybridization and cannot be seen anymore.

But as long as there is a trace of blood connection, one can revert to one's ancestral state through continuous purification until one finally reproduces the elegance of one's ancestors.

This method of cultivation is considered a grand way for demons, but it is most admired by human practitioners.

Because a demon with blood close to that of a divine beast is very popular whether used as a mount or on the dining table.

It is said that there is an organization in heaven called Huanlongshi, which specializes in raising monsters with noble bloodlines.

The dragon liver and phoenix marrow that the bigwigs in heaven enjoyed at their gatherings came from this organization.

Since there are generations of monsters whose ancestors have noble bloodlines, there are naturally also truly wild and grassroots common monsters.

Their essence is ordinary, without any extraordinary roots, so it is impossible for them to revert to their original roots.

Either give up your demon body, secretly reincarnate as a human, and follow the path of cultivation of the human race.

Either stick to your own essence and believe that even a weed can cultivate to the level of cutting down the sun, moon and stars.

Of course, there are also a very small number of monsters with different ideas, and Pu Du Ci Hang is one of them.

His original form is an ordinary centipede, without any earth-shatteringly powerful ancestral bloodline.

It's just that his background is relatively special.

……

The five-clawed golden dragon transformed from the Ming Dynasty's national destiny has almost condensed into substance, and even ordinary people who have not practiced spiritual cultivation can see it with their naked eyes.

The body of the hundred-foot-long centipede in it is constantly undergoing transformation.

The densely packed limbs faded away, the carapace peeled off, and new flesh and blood grew with faint dragon scale patterns.

There were four big bulges under his body, as if dragon claws were about to emerge from them.

The hideous head also twisted and deformed, the original centipede's head exploded, and a dragon head emerged.

But it's still very blurry, like a child's scribble. The whole dragon head looks a bit abstract and has not yet been fully formed.

There were two lumps on the top of the head, and with a crackling sound, the flesh and blood burst, and two dragon horns like coral grew out of the lumps.

At this moment, the abstract dragon head began to become clear and no longer looked as strange as before.

Pu Du Ci Hang lifted the unfinished dragon head and looked towards the sky. There was no thunder disaster, nor any gods or Buddhas appearing.

There is no need to worry about being caught and served on the dining table when one succeeds. No one in this world can stop one from becoming a dragon and achieving enlightenment.

He was so happy that he was about to open his mouth and let out a long roar.

However, he saw that his originally torn body of the monk began to move strangely, Buddha's light bloomed, and the broken flesh and blood gathered together again, turning into the appearance of a monk.

However, he did not look like the Dharma Master who protects the country, but a young monk with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes and a stern face, giving people a serious feeling.

Pudu Cihang's dragon roar, which had not yet come out, suddenly turned into a strange laugh: "Isn't this Master Fahai? Where is your mighty heavenly dragon? Why don't you use it?"

"Is it because I can't invite the eight heavenly dragons? Come, kneel down, and recite my real name. I will grant you the power of a real dragon!"

Hearing these arrogant words, the young monk called Fahai remained silent, with a complicated look flashing in his slightly closed eyes.

He wanted to subdue the demon, but he had no means to do so.

Not only because he was just a broken soul now, but also because his ability to borrow the Dharma from the Buddhas had lost its effect.

Fahai looked up at Pudu Cihang who was about to transform into a dragon, feeling a little regretful and couldn't help but think of the past.

After suppressing the snake demon Bai Suzhen in Leifeng Pagoda, Fahai continued to travel around the world, slaying demons and eliminating evil.

Once when passing by a village, he saw the villagers offering sacrifices to a huge willow tree, praying to the tree spirit to protect the village from disasters.

But Fahai saw at a glance that the so-called tree spirit was actually a tree demon, and he immediately swung his Zen staff to kill it.

The little tree demon was no match for him and its body was shattered without any resistance.

At the moment the tree demon died, the mountains around the village collapsed, and the river water upstream poured down without any obstruction.

Fahai was a man of great Taoist skill. He used his brocade robe to stop the flood and rescued all the villagers in time.

Amid the villagers' cries of grief, he realized that it was this tree demon that had been maintaining this land and protecting this small village from natural disasters.

He had been consuming his magical power to maintain the mountains and rivers, so his Taoism was so weak and he was easily killed.

This time of slaying the demon has shaken his faith in Buddhism. Is it really right for him to insist on getting rid of all the demons?

Later, when he encountered a strange centipede monster, he hesitated and did not kill it directly.

But it also sowed the seeds of disaster.
