Chapter 103: Cultivation 4 – Only He, as the Protagonist, Has This Power…

Hearing the system’s voice, Chu Li-fei first closed the door of his cave dwelling and cast several spells to prevent others from entering. Then, he carefully inspected the cave dwelling to ensure nothing left behind by others, before stopping.

Afterward, he began to communicate with the system.

Thinking about the system’s previous mention of transmitting the plot, Chu Li-fei felt a little strange.

Logically speaking, this world was the world where Chu Li-fei had lived before. He already knew the subsequent development of the world, so what plot did he need?

But since the system had returned, it wouldn’t hurt to take another look.

“Start the transmission.”

To Chu Li-fei’s surprise, this time, the system’s plot transmission didn’t dump the original owner’s memories into his brain like in the previous worlds.

With the appearance of a golden light, a square object slowly coalesced before Chu Li-fei’s eyes, eventually transforming into the shape of a book.

The appearance of this book was closer to a modern book than the bamboo scrolls of the ancient world.

The book now floated in the air before Chu Li-fei, with the words “Abandoning Demon, Ascending to God” written in large characters on the cover. The entire book faintly glowed with golden light.

Chu Li-fei was quite surprised.

“Abandoning Demon, Ascending to God”? What was this?

He tentatively reached out towards the book floating in mid-air.

The moment those white and smooth fingertips touched the book, it instantly seemed to lose its original magic power. It was no longer mysterious, becoming as ordinary as a regular book.

The golden light surrounding it disappeared, and the book lost its ability to float in mid-air. It fell according to gravity, landing perfectly in Chu Li-fei’s hand.

Chu Li-fei took the book and casually glanced at it.

The book was quite thick, so Chu Li-fei found a soft couch to sit on before slowly flipping through it.

Chu Li-fei read quickly, almost skimming through it ten lines at a time, but that didn’t mean he was just glossing over it.

As the sun set in the west, Chu Li-fei had read through most of the book.

By the time the moon hung high in the sky, Chu Li-fei had just finished reading the book.

As if sensing that he had finished reading, the book gradually became transparent the moment Chu Li-fei closed it, eventually disappearing.

Chu Li-fei got up and stretched his stiff body from sitting for so long, then began to analyze the book’s contents.

This time, the plot was very interesting. It wasn’t unfolded from his perspective, but from someone else’s—

Lu Mo-chen.

The entire book, from Lu Mo-chen’s perspective, chronicled his journey from a discarded wolf demon to joining the Wuji Sect, resolving many incidents along the way, including those who harbored ill intentions towards him. These people would eventually become nourishment on his path to growth. He would eventually become a generation of demon gods, ascending to the upper realm.

Before Chu Li-fei was banished to The Abyss of Demons, the general direction of the story was basically the same as what he remembered.

In modern terms, Chu Li-fei was the boss of the early to mid-game in the book.

The only difference from the book was that he didn’t die immediately after falling into The Abyss of Demons. Instead, he relied on the miasma that permeated The Abyss of Demons year-round to sever the connection between the system and the Heavenly Dao, allowing him to travel through one world after another and obtain a chance to start over.

In the book, his role was to highlight the charm of Lu Mo-chen as the protagonist, to be slapped in the face by the other party as a clown, and to set off the protagonist’s powerful strength.

In order to showcase the great charm of Lu Mo-chen, the book even wrote such a plot.

Lin Qiaoqiao had liked “Chu Li-fei,” who was the senior brother, since she was a child. To this end, she even had a big fight with her father, the sect leader, insisting on joining the sect of the Carefree Taoist. But “Chu Li-fei” was focused on cultivation and didn’t understand emotions. He was just a piece of ice that couldn’t be melted. This made the enthusiastic Lin Qiaoqiao suffer several setbacks. Over time, Lin Qiaoqiao no longer had any hope and gradually cooled down.

At this moment, Lin Qiaoqiao bumped into Lu Mo-chen.

The new junior brother that the master had just taken in was cute and had a pleasing personality. He was also tenacious and indomitable when it came to cultivation. The two quickly became close.

Although Lu Mo-chen was young, what he did was particularly mature. Whenever Lin Qiaoqiao was rejected by “Chu Li-fei,” Lu Mo-chen would patiently comfort her, make her laugh again, and even offer advice for Lin Qiaoqiao’s love life.

Lin Qiaoqiao also liked this quirky young man very much, but at this time, she only regarded him as a younger brother.

As time passed, the boy quickly grew taller, his baby fat gradually faded away, and in the blink of an eye, he grew into a handsome young man.

Lin Qiaoqiao, who no longer had any feelings for “Chu Li-fei,” unknowingly developed a secret crush on the grown-up Lu Mo-chen.

This change was naturally noticed by “Chu Li-fei.”

The junior sister who had always chased after him was no longer clinging to him. Instead, she was happily chatting and laughing with his junior brother.

Emotions called jealousy and hatred gradually appeared in “Chu Li-fei’s” eyes. He then realized that he had already fallen in love with Lin Qiaoqiao without realizing it.

So, he tried every means to make Lu Mo-chen look bad and win Lin Qiaoqiao back.

Slander, conspiracy…

This did create a rift between Lu Mo-chen and Lin Qiaoqiao. The two even had a big fight and parted ways.

“Chu Li-fei” naturally rejoiced at this. Because of the conflict between the two, it also gave him the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

But after the truth was revealed, “Chu Li-fei’s” actions instead made the two of them mutually clarify their feelings for each other in times of crisis, and their relationship became more stable.

In the end, Chu Li-fei’s crimes were exposed, and Lin Qiaoqiao was completely disappointed in him.

From then on, a demon emerged from within, and “Chu Li-fei” instantly fell into demonic practices, beginning a massacre. In order to protect his fellow disciples, Lu Mo-chen did not hesitate to clean up the sect, personally killing his senior brother, piercing his heart before banishing him to The Abyss of Demons.

To be fair, if he hadn’t seen this book today, Chu Li-fei would have really known nothing about such a complicated story. He only appeared in certain places and did certain things as required by the system.

He also realized for the first time that Lin Qiaoqiao actually liked him.

But after reading this book, Chu Li-fei only had one question in his heart.

So—

Lu Mo-chen was actually a wolf demon?

This was really beyond his expectations.

After all, the demon race was not very popular in either the human realm or the cultivation world.

In the past thousands of years, the demon race enslaved the human race.

They had strong bodies and terrifying magic power. Humans were just insignificant ants in front of them.

It wasn’t until some humans gradually began to absorb the spiritual energy of the world for cultivation that they slowly gained the power to resist the demon race.

However, although the demon race was powerful, their numbers were not as large as those of the human race.

Gradually, the two sides reached a strange balance.

At that time, the representatives of the human race and the leaders of the demon race deeply knew that this evenly matched battle would only lead to endless results. It was meaningless except to continue increasing the number of casualties.

So the two sides agreed to stop the war, each occupying one side, without interfering with each other.

From then on, the two sides maintained a superficial peace.

Due to the existence of the agreement, even if the human race and the demon race happened to meet, they would not fight. There would no longer be a situation where one race enslaved another—

There was only one exception.

That was the child born between a demon and a human.

They were not accepted by either race at the same time and were constantly being expelled. No matter which side they were on, they were the lowest existence.

In the eyes of the human race, although the human race and the demon race had reached peace, the human race could never forget the humiliating past of being enslaved by the demon race. In their eyes, the existence of children born from human-demon bloodlines would remind them of that bloody past.

In the eyes of the demon race, the bloodline of humans was lowly. The existence of children born from human-demon bloodlines constantly reminded them that their noble bloodline had been tainted by humans. This was their shame.

Therefore, Lu Mo-chen, as a human-wolf hybrid, suffered hardships since he was a child. He didn’t know who his parents were. He just tried his best to survive by relying on his instincts.

When he was hungry, he would gnaw on tree bark. When he was thirsty, he would drink dirty mud water. Because his existence was not welcome, whether it was humans or demons, they would vent their anger on him before stopping. Therefore, Lu Mo-chen wandered in various forests when he was young, hiding his figure. When he was sleepy, he would find a tree or a bush to rest, sleeping with the stars and moon.

Until he accidentally obtained a treasure.

This treasure could conceal the demon aura on his body, and it could also help him hide his wolf ears and tail, which he couldn’t autonomously retract due to his impure bloodline.

Afterward, Lu Mo-chen, who looked no different from ordinary people, came to the human realm and eventually joined the Wuji Sect, officially starting his cultivation.

His talent was already very good. He also had the human race’s comprehension and the demon race’s affinity for nature. His cultivation could be said to be progressing rapidly. The human-demon hybrid had become his advantage.

Originally, his future should have been to shine brightly in the cultivation world.

But the truth wasn’t like this.

In this book’s plot, Chu Li-fei was the boss of the early to mid-game, so there was naturally a big boss in the later game.

And this person was actually his master—Carefree Taoist.

Or rather, the entire Wuji Sect might have been an accomplice.

In the book, Lu Mo-chen accidentally came to the forbidden area behind the Wuji Sect while investigating an unexpected visitor. Before he could explore it, an accident occurred.

Not knowing what he had triggered, a large amount of spiritual energy suddenly poured into his body. Early Golden Core stage, mid Golden Core stage, late Golden Core stage, early Nascent Soul stage…

Lu Mo-chen continued to break through.

Finally, he stabilized in the late Transformation stage.

He actually broke through two levels in a row, going directly from the early Golden Core stage to the late Transformation stage.

It should be known that the sect leader of the Wuji Sect was only in the early Great Ascension stage, and the Carefree Taoist was only in the mid Transformation stage.

Cultivation was not a simple accumulation of spiritual energy. Some people couldn’t break through to the Nascent Soul stage in their entire lives.

Lu Mo-chen’s cultivation speed was definitely abnormal.

According to the people of the Wuji Sect, there was only one possibility for such a cultivation speed—

That was that he had cultivated unorthodox methods, and these people were collectively called demonic cultivators.

The accidental intrusion into the forbidden area of the Wuji Sect was a big deal. Later, the sect leader and a group of elders discovered that the sect’s treasure had disappeared, and the only person who had entered the forbidden area that day was Lu Mo-chen.

Cultivating evil arts, stealing the sect’s treasure—Lu Mo-chen was quickly imprisoned in the Wuji Sect’s Ice Hell for several crimes.

Even at this time, Lu Mo-chen still didn’t understand why things had developed this way.

Overnight, Lu Mo-chen went from being a hero who had defeated the possessed former senior brother Chu Li-fei and protected his fellow disciples to a demonic cultivator that everyone wanted to kill.

He wanted to explain, but no one was willing to listen. The senior brothers and junior brothers, or senior sisters and junior sisters, who were sent to deliver food and observe his situation, all looked at him with disgusted eyes, and the words they spoke were like they had been poisoned.

And Lin Qiaoqiao, the only one who believed him and treated him gently, was locked up by her father, the sect leader, completely severing their connection.

The Ice Hell was extremely cold, and it also used special formations to restrict the spiritual energy of the imprisoned people, making them almost no different from ordinary people, except that their bodies were a bit stronger.

The solid ice constantly destroyed his will, but no matter what, Lu Mo-chen insisted on his answer—he didn’t know.

He didn’t know anything, and he hadn’t cultivated evil arts.

The sound of the wind flowed through his ears. Lu Mo-chen didn’t know how long had passed. In this northernmost land, the stars and moon were always with him.

This made him recall the days of wandering around when he was young.

Gradually, his consciousness became blurred.

It was as if something was trying to break out of his body.

“Awoo—”

In a dark place, the long-silent Ice Hell came with the first sound, a loud wolf howl tearing through the long night.

In the prison cell where Lu Mo-chen was originally imprisoned, the young man’s voice had disappeared, replaced by a huge, silvery-white wolf.

Its fur was smooth and shiny, its eyes were bright, its limbs were strong, and it could sweep away a piece of ice with just a flick of its tail.

Lu Mo-chen had escaped.

The next day, the disciples who came to inspect discovered that the prison cell that should have imprisoned Lu Mo-chen was empty. The iron chains as thick as an adult’s arm were all broken, and some of them had claw marks as if they had been scratched by the claws of a wild beast.

What terrible power was this, even under the restrictions of spiritual power?

The disciples who came to inspect were shocked and quickly got up from the ground to report it.

Later, according to an image projected from a magic weapon that could reproduce past scenes, the picture showed that the young man, who was bound by huge chains, turned into a majestic wolf in an instant when he fainted.

From then on, Lu Mo-chen’s identity as a human-demon hybrid could no longer be hidden.

He was wanted by the human race, living a life of hiding. Until he and Lin Qiaoqiao worked together to find out the truth and expose the crimes of the Carefree Taoist in front of everyone.

It turned out that the Carefree Taoist and the current sect leader of the Wuji Sect had the same cultivation in the past. The former sect leader had long revealed that the position of sect leader would be chosen from one of them.

In the end, the person who became the sect leader was not the Carefree Taoist, and he had been resentful ever since.

Later, the Wuji Sect Leader’s cultivation gradually surpassed him.

He believed that the two of them had similar talents, and their cultivations were similar in the beginning. The reason why the Wuji Sect Leader could surpass him now was entirely because the other party was the sect leader and had more resources than him.

If he had so many resources…

So, a plan emerged in the Carefree Taoist’s mind.

And Lu Mo-chen became his target.

In fact, the Carefree Taoist’s candidate was not Lu Mo-chen in the beginning, but him, Chu Li-fei.

But fate liked to play jokes, Lu Mo-chen accidentally banished Chu Li-fei to The Abyss of Demons, and he replaced Chu Li-fei, becoming the Carefree Taoist’s nourishment.

There was such an evil art that used cultivators as containers. As long as the container trusted the caster, the caster could take the container’s cultivation as their own nourishment when the container’s consciousness was weak.

That night, when the Carefree Taoist saw Lu Mo-chen’s spiritual power surge, he had a plan.

He deliberately put a few demonic cultivation techniques in Lu Mo-chen’s cave dwelling, left some ambiguous evidence, and said some ambiguous words when asked, completely confirming Lu Mo-chen’s identity as a demonic cultivator, so that he would be imprisoned in the Ice Hell.

Next, he only needed to wait for Lu Mo-chen to be unable to withstand the torment of the Ice Hell.

And after he obtained Lu Mo-chen’s cultivation, he believed that he would be able to surpass the Wuji Sect Leader, and then he could vindicate Lu Mo-chen.

By this time, Lu Mo-chen would be dead, and the Wuji Taoist as the sect leader would naturally be responsible, and he would be the new sect leader of Wuji.

He guaranteed that he would thank Lu Mo-chen properly.

However—

As a disciple, isn’t it right to do something for the master?

But to the Carefree Taoist’s surprise, Lu Mo-chen was more tolerant than he had imagined.

And he, was actually a human-wolf hybrid.

Lu Mo-chen didn’t die, and he even escaped. He even survived his round after round of pursuit, instead finding evidence to accuse him.

From then on, the truth was clear.

The Wuji Sect Leader was approaching the end of his life, and he passed the position of sect leader to Lu Mo-chen, and he also agreed to Lu Mo-chen and Lin Qiaoqiao becoming Dao partners.

From then on, Lu Mo-chen became a winner in life, and his rise to power also allowed human-demon hybrids to walk in the sun.

Hundreds of years later, Lu Mo-chen broke through again from the late Great Ascension stage and successfully ascended.

This was the entire plot of this book.

[Yes, this is the plot that should have happened.]

The system’s voice suddenly rang out.

However, Chu Li-fei felt that something was wrong when he heard it.

“Should have”?

What did that mean?

Could it be that the plot had changed?

Before he died, Chu Li-fei remembered that the plot was basically the same.

Then it was after he was banished to The Abyss of Demons.

What exactly happened later?

What did the plot become?

Why did the plot change?

These three questions firmly occupied Chu Li-fei’s brain.

At the same time, another question emerged.

What did Lu Mo-chen do?

He had a inexplicable intuition that Lu Mo-chen must have done something to cause such a huge change in the plot.

Only he, as the protagonist,

Has this power.
