Record of the Pagoda

[Transmigration + xianxia + fantasy + crime-solving + schemes and intrigue + passionate battles + absurd humor + wild imagination]

My name is Zhang Ji. I unexpectedly transmigrated into this cultivation world steeped in the supernatural, and even became the Crown Prince of Great Xia.

At first, most people thought I was a good-for-nothing crown prince. There were enough people wanting me dead to fill a ten-mile stretch of road.

Later, I unexpectedly awakened a mysterious black pagoda within me, called the Seven-Tiered Pagoda. It can slay gods, slaughter immortals, subdue demons, exorcise monsters, capture ghosts, suppress the uncanny, drive away evil, avert calamity, punish the wicked, and save lives... I kept a low profile until all living beings began looking up at me with “complicated” expressions.

Then one day, I pressed my palms together before my chest and sat cross-legged atop the pagoda, surrounded by boundless Buddhist light. I openly gazed down upon all living beings and murmured, “Saving one life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda! Now that all beings have been saved, I shall attain enlightenment. Hell is empty, and I too have become a Buddha!”

Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

“Heavens! He’s the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, seen only once in ten thousand years. One bite of his flesh can grant eternal life!”

Someone suddenly let out a howl, and everything descended into chaos!
