A soft halo, like a mother's hand...
A majestic palace, touched by this soft halo, appeared both illusory and real.
Amidst the clouds before the palace, a figure with long, light blue hair and a woman in a pink dress stood quietly beside him.
It was none other than the renowned God King Tang San and his sword-sheath wife, Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu asked Tang San with a puzzled look, "Third Brother, Xiao Qi has been missing for six days. Where did she go?"
Tang San smiled gently, showing no worry, "Don't worry, Xiao Qi isn't dead. She's fine now."
"That's good." Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, not doubting her Third Brother, only thinking that her daughter might just be playing and had forgotten to come home.
But she didn't see the flickering look in Tang San's eyes.
Just as Tang San was about to change the subject, he suddenly sensed something, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he had spotted a dog with a bone.
"Third Brother?
What happened?"
Xiao Wu noticed the change in Tang San's mood and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Nothing, just thinking about some happy things. Xiao Wu, you should go back first, I still have things to attend to at the God Realm Central Hub."
"Okay, Third Brother, you're working so hard, you must take care of yourself."
After Xiao Wu left, Tang San finally stopped hiding his feelings.
He excitedly said, "As expected of the Chosen One, his luck has increased so much all of a sudden! Although I don't know what he's been through, such a person with great luck should be destined to be with my Tang family, this God King will not refuse!"
"Little Seven, don't disappoint your father, quickly meet the Chosen One and help me monitor him!"
...
Douluo Continent.
Star Dou Great Forest.
Weak, pitiful, and helpless, Huo Yuhao stared at the fortune he had plucked from Bei Bei and Tang Ya—a dragon-shaped golden light and a grass-shaped golden light.
He fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, Bei Bei and Tang Ya, oblivious to what had happened, were still happily eating their grilled fish.
Tang Ya: "Little brother Yuhao, your grilled fish smells so good!"
Bei Bei: "Yeah, yeah."
"..." Huo Yuhao thought, "I'm glad you like it."
Why did things turn out this way?
Huo Yuhao asked himself, "School's out, the arcade's opening—two joyous events intertwined, it should have been an even greater joy, so why was I forced to transmigrate?"
...
Notice that this boy is called Xiao Huo, and he's a university student. This school break coincided with the opening of a new arcade in his hometown, so he decided to take advantage of the holiday to visit.
Who knew that while playing the slot machine, he would suddenly win something extraordinary.
But it wasn't "777."
Instead, a mysterious little disc fell out of the slot machine.
Then, the slot machine actually spoke.
[Congratulations, guest, you've won a time-travel bonus!]
[You have received a "Pudu Cihang Memory Disc." Use it to obtain the growth memories of Pudu Cihang in the world of *A Chinese Ghost Story 2*.]
[Whether the techniques and spells involved in the memories are effective in the time-travel world, and their effects, are affected by the world's rules.]
[All other interpretation rights belong to the Time-Travel Express Company.]
But, Little Huo didn't time travel, so how did he get a time-travel bonus? And who would want the memories of that old geezer Pudu Cihang?!
The answer is, whoever gets the time-travel bonus gets to time travel!
Immediately, right in front of Little Huo, the slot machine did a "Slot Machine, Transform!" and became a Transformer—the Slot Machine Man.
The slot machine man, clenching his metal fist, said to Huo Yuhao, "Come on, kid, it's time to time travel and meet the wind in your destiny!"
Little Huo: "Can't I not time travel?"
Slot machine man: "If I don't time travel, will you help me complete this year's time travel quota?"
Little Huo: "I'll help you!"
The slot machine man smiled wickedly: "Then you're the only one I need."
Little Huo: "6~"
Then, with a bang, the slot machine man punched Little Huo and incidentally smashed the memory disc into Little Huo's head.
In the chaos, young Huo transformed into a naturally venomous centipede. By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, he successfully transformed into a demon.
However, lacking proper origins and background, and caught in the turmoil of the era, he could only stumble along the path of demon and evil cultivation, killing, drinking blood, and eating humans…
until one day, while being hunted by righteous individuals, he stumbled into a dilapidated temple during his escape.
There, he obtained Buddhist cultivation methods and the art of destiny, comprehending the art of seizing destiny to transform into a dragon.
At a time of court turmoil, he finally couldn't suppress his inner desires and joined the court, embarking on the path of dragon transformation…
After Pudu Cihang was shattered, young Huo awoke, having transmigrated into Huo Yuhao, who had just left the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
Sitting outdoors for half an hour to recover, young Huo—no, now Huo Yuhao—finally managed to detach himself from his identity as the Imperial Preceptor. Putting aside
everything else, the memory of Pudu Cihang's party in the palace resonated with Huo Yuhao several times.
Then Huo Yuhao… cursed the slot machine guy who sent him to this world for another half hour, vowing that if he ever caught him, he would make that slot machine guy suffer a lot.
Only then did he focus on reality and check his own situation.
He discovered that he had actually transmigrated into the chosen one of destiny in the Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect era—Huo Yuhao!
Transmigrating into the body of a chosen one of destiny, young Huo was overjoyed, but Huo Yuhao... young Huo didn't like it.
Huo Yuhao, the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, eleven years old, with the Martial Soul Spirit Eye and Soul Power Level 10.
Clearly a chosen one of destiny, with countless cheat codes, even in invincible novels, he was barely considered a vengeful war wolf in the early stages.
But in the middle and later stages, he completely changed, from war wolf to sycophant, from sycophant to loyal dog, losing himself, forgetting his original intentions, everything he did was a stepping stone for his deceased wife, the God Queen.
Even dogs would shake their heads at this.
While that lord was going crazy in front of his computer, Huo Yuhao was going crazy in the novel.
But these were just the original stories.
Now that young Huo has arrived, the heavens are clear, young Huo has arrived, and the Douluo Continent is at peace!
Because Huo Yuhao has unlocked a new cheat code!
That is the memory of Pudu Cihang.
In Pudu Cihang's memories, there are not only memories of parties in the palace, but also memories of his entire life's cultivation.
As a demon cultivator who rose from the bottom to become a powerful figure on the verge of transforming into a dragon, Pudu Cihang's knowledge was diverse yet profound.
This diversity stemmed from the common practice of independent cultivators: they learned whatever came their way, fearing the consequences of overlearning and the lack of depth, but lest they be caught unprepared when needed.
Without guidance or instruction, they were forced to experiment and try various cultivation paths, hoping for a breakthrough.
However, many independent cultivators became lost in this miscellaneous learning, most failing midway, and the best ending up mediocre.
Pudu Cihang's rise was entirely due to an unexpected acquisition of Buddhist cultivation techniques, truly a one-in-a-million opportunity.
His cultivation heritage can be divided into three categories: demon cultivation, evil cultivation, and Buddhist cultivation.
Demon cultivation primarily involved the methods of centipede demons, unsuitable for human cultivation.
Evil cultivation was possible for humans, even offering a crash course. However, it was bloody, cruel, and violated human ethics; in the Douluo Continent, this method would be considered that of an evil soul master.
Buddhist cultivation methods are inherently righteous and peaceful, even including the advanced technique of "Qi Luck," which binds one's cultivation to the dynasty's fortune.
Such techniques are typically only found in Buddhist and Taoist sects that can become state religions, as they wouldn't need or research them.
Pudu Cihang obtaining them was purely by sheer luck.
However, Pudu Cihang was not a benevolent demon; he forcibly transformed the righteous Buddhist cultivation methods into demonic Buddhist methods, turning the technique of borrowing the dynasty's fortune into a technique of seizing fortune and transforming into a dragon, even nearly succeeding in transforming himself into a dragon. He
also researched several evil Buddhist supernatural powers.
One can only say that Pudu Cihang was indeed a demonic genius.
What could Huo Yuhao do? He could only learn them with tears in his eyes.
Whether it was a heretical or Buddhist cultivation method, for Huo Yuhao at this point, anything useful was good.
He didn't even let the technique of seizing fortune and transforming into a dragon go unnoticed.
Only demonic cultivation methods, because they were truly unsuitable for human cultivation, were not attempted by Huo Yuhao.
Surprisingly, Huo Yuhao could actually cultivate using the various cultivation methods from Pudu Cihang's memories in the Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao tried them one by one as he traveled.
Different cultivation methods naturally clashed, but Pudu Cihang had already tested them for Huo Yuhao and found a path that could be integrated, so there was no need for Huo Yuhao to try again.
Although he had just started cultivating and couldn't see any effects yet, Huo Yuhao's mental state while traveling had indeed improved.
After traveling for seven days, he arrived near the Star Dou Great Forest.
Then…
he encountered Tang Ya and Bei Bei, who were out hunting in the wild.
Huo Yuhao: I suspect they're lying in wait for me in the bushes, but I have no proof.
