Longevity Chronicles
Chapter 1055 - 666: Taixuan Feather Transformation, Tribulation Immortal Corpse
Tao Buddha's son inadvertently revealed his grand ambitions with his words.
Even the second-generation patriarchs were impressed by this kid's immense ambition upon hearing.
The other Secret Demon Children merely dabble in some divine spells recorded in the Secret Demon Scripture, like the "All Heavens Desire Demon Great Method" or the "Heavenly Demon Extermination Immortal Sword".
Yet once this fellow gained power, he directly aimed at the core methods of the Taishang Demon Sect, which were extremely difficult to practice and formidable enough to hunt down the Great Abyss Demons.
It's hard to say whether this child is bold or just unaware of the vastness of the world, dreaming foolish dreams.
But upon careful listening, it becomes clear that Tao Buddha's son's plans are not entirely fanciful; they are indeed achievable.
He possesses great advantages and abundant resources.
Having fully mastered the Secret Demon Child of the Ancestor Land of the "All Heavens Secret Demon Scripture," he commands effective subordinates like a million Heavenly Demons, and his Dao Path involves melting all techniques, progressing smoothly.
Tao Qian's original self listened and then seriously assessed the situation, soon nodding in agreement.
Yet, he also asked:
"To refine a true 'Ten Thousand Demon Abyss Array' is impossible unless one day you become the Sect Master of the Secret Demon Sect and rally the strength of the entire sect to act."
"However, creating a smaller version of the array might indeed be doable."
"Such as the techniques of the Evil Sect, Demon Buddha Temple, Infinite Demon Sect, Mystic Netherworld Demon Sect, and other Demon Path Great Sects, I can convey a message to Aunt Pan Si, and she can gather them from the Scripture Hall for you."
"Once this is resolved, you only need to find suitable spiritual materials to begin refining, which is the most difficult part."
"You absolutely cannot obtain ten corpses of Innate Gods and Demons, nor find even one Innate Divine Corpse, but if you can discover a corpse of an Acquired God Demon, this matter can be accomplished. Do you have a target?"
At this point, Tao Qian turned his thoughts inward.
In his mind, an exceedingly suitable target appeared, precisely the extremely powerful "Mysterious Corpse" from before.
The corpse's Daoist title was "Mysterious Lord," undoubtedly an Innate God Demon, accompanied by the mighty Great Book "Mysterious Lord's Seven Chapter Secret Scripture". It would be perfect for refining and was indeed the first Innate God Demon corpse Tao Qian had ever seen.
Unfortunately, the corpse possessed divine abilities and, after countless years of death, surprisingly developed a new consciousness, directly attaining the Dao, self-titling as Mysterious Corpse.
Back then, Duobao Daoist, along with Ma Yi Immortal and other Spirit Treasure Immortals, used the ten great disciples of the sect as bait, only managing to chop off an arm.
While recalling this, unexpectedly, a message arrived for the Demon Child body.
From its tone, it clearly showed confidence.
"The original self indeed underestimated me. Do I, the Demon Child, appear as someone who would boast without reason? If I had no assurance, would I dare to boast?"
"The key to refining the great array naturally lies in the array stone. Only by refining the array stone can a bunch of my subordinates be sent out to recruit soldiers, and inscribe divine patterns, magic scriptures, evil texts, to imprison innumerable Taishang Heavenly Demon Soldiers and sign contracts with entities like Heavenly Demon Kings, Tribulation Emperors, Evil Spirits."
"It's a pity that the likes of Xingtian's son, Yellow Robed Primordial Lord, E Yue Immortal Monarch, who can barely be considered 'God Demons,' their corpses are unsuitable, missed by such a narrow margin."
"However, now that I have fed the Divination Worm well, its insect silk is almost successful in invading the territories of Tang Country, naturally of great use."
"The Divination Worm failed to locate Innate God Demon corpses, but it did find a corpse of an Acquired God Demon."
"Hmm? Truly found one?"
"Coincidentally, the Divination Worm, after enveloping the territories under my command across various countries, discovered an ancient temple buried deep underground within the Qi Country, dating back countless millennia named 'Taixuan Palace', within which a deity is revered, titled Innate Taixuan Feathered Immortal Monarch."
"Buried deep beneath the earth, it is clear that this world has no believers following its God Demon Spirit Cultivation, not even a single believer."
"I thought it was abandoned by the Master of the Outer Realm Dao Lineage of the Search God Realm, but after some investigation, I found results."
At this point, the Demon Child body paused, intending to create suspense.
How could Tao Qian indulge this audacity, directly planning to sense the thought, being one and the same, nothing could be concealed.
The Demon Child body had no choice but to grumble that the original self was the least interesting, then continued:
"This Immortal Monarch wasn't from the Outer Realm, but the first human to attain Daoist power in the Search God Realm, an Acquired God Demon as well."
"He cultivated for thirty thousand years, eventually proving the Realm of Tribulation Immortal, refining an overwhelmingly powerful God Demon skill body, originally intending to leave the Search God Realm, journey through the Great Abyss, and comprehend the Realm of Chaos."
"But, upon leaving the realm, he was beset by disaster due to the connection with the 'Search God Realm', and even served as a shield for a calamity orchestrated by the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Search God Realm, attacked by not just one Evil God, met a tragic end, and developed resentment before dying, completely falling into demonhood."
"Now transformed into an evil star, hanging outside the Search God Realm."
"Whenever it appears, it scatters endless evil star brilliance over the Search God Realm, causing numerous disasters."
"For tens of thousands of years, it has always been like this, the hatred unresolved, likely persisting until the realm perishes."
...
Upon hearing this, Tao Qian was truly enlightened.
Innate Taixuan Feathered Immortal Monarch!
Such a title already sounded extraordinary, indeed a Tribulation Immortal.
Unfortunately, this Immortal Monarch attained Daoist power in the Search God Realm; had it been in the Longevity Great Realm, Mountain and Sea Great Realm, Earth Immortal Realm, or other worlds, with his Realm of Tribulation Immortal, he could undoubtedly establish a Daoist lineage, personally becoming a 'Daoist Ancestor', with limitless magnificence.
Fate, however, confined him to the Search God Realm, benefitting not an iota, first deceived by the Heavenly Dao Origin, shielded from disasters, genuinely unjustly treated.
"His corpse now transformed into an evil star, hanging above; by nature, you can't obtain it."
"However, since you have found its ancestral temple, you likely also discovered the Great Lifebook Scripture it left behind, and understand the God Demon Rites to summon it to descend... But aiming to wait, refining the corpse into stone."
"Indeed, this Immortal Monarch died too unjustly, perishing to become a Fallen Demon, developing a sliver of resentment that could not be erased even in a billion years, giving rise to Evil God's will, bent solely on revenge every day, leaving behind numerous arrangements to welcome its corpse's return to the Search God Realm, unfortunately all gradually worn away by the Heavenly Dao Origin."
"Now that it has been unearthed by the worm, it must not be missed."
"This Demon Child will set off then, to be a Corpse-moving Daoist."
With these words, Great Demon Tao arose.
Then he assembled an army including millions of Heavenly Demons, the Source Sea Demon Dog, and Fish Basket Guanyin, and used the Innate Earth Escape Technique to head straight to the depths beneath Qi Country.
Far away at the Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint, Tao Qian clearly did not expect the greatest difficulty to be so effortlessly resolved.
He could only sigh in his heart once more: Isn't this fellow a Secret Demon Child, how is his blessing and fortune better than my rightful Spirit Treasure Daoist, there is simply no reason.
Demon Child Body didn't bother with the sour words of his original, as he is now about to undergo Daoist Transformation, the only thing to prepare is this [Taishang Demon Abyss Array].
Once this array is established, he can act without restrictions, no longer having to feign politeness among a group of old fools, submitting himself for benefits.
Though gratifying, Great Demon Tao also knows such "free ride" won't last long.
The Taoist power and Slaughter Divine Power cultivated, are his true reliance.
...
It wasn't long before the group reached near the earth orifice within Qi Country's borders, where the Fiery Poison clustered.
Suddenly, flashes of demon shadows moved in, appearing within a dark space in the blink of an eye.
This space originally was filled with various terrifying, mystical forbidden techniques, sheltering an exceedingly eerie and terrifying palace inside.
Soon all forbidden techniques were worn away, the space compressed to the point of imminent explosion.
Yet the palace remained.
Sheltered by an exceedingly horrifying "resentful qi," even with constant extraordinary flames like Mystic Netherworld Poison Fire, Taiyin Earth Fire, Earth Orifice True Fire blazing together, they cannot harm a grass or wood, brick or tile of the palace.
Amidst the conflagration, sounds of gods and demons continued reverberating.
Embedded with hatred towards the Search God Realm, and even the entire Heavenly Dao, deep and intense killing intent.
If one can endure these, they can immediately obtain a new legacy.
As of this moment, Great Demon Tao's group had just appeared.
Their minds instantly erupted: [Currently being eroded by Innate Taixuan Feathered Demon Sound... All exempted.]
At the next moment, an ancient-faced old immortal's phantom appeared in front of him, chanting a Dao Song rhyme while stretching a hand to gently stroke Tao Qian's head.
As it blinked out of existence, a mysterious ancient scripture and a bronze coffin, shrunk countless times over, appeared out of thin air before Tao Qian.
Seeing this scene, Demon Child immediately sneered, unable to contain himself from ridiculing:
"Quite the player, despite the generations in between, they've begun playing the trick of 'Immortal strokes my head and binds hair to receive longevity,' truly an old relic, extraordinarily mundane."
Before finishing his words, he ignored whether this might trigger any consequences.
Abruptly reaching out, he grasped the Great Book and the bronze coffin.
Upon touch, without needing Divination Worm to pry, feedback arrived instantly:
[Record Name: Innate Taixuan Feathered Immortal Scripture.]
[Record Type: Lifebound Scripture.]
[Record Description: This is authored by the first Human Clan Tribulation Immortal of the Search God Realm "Taixuan Feathered Immortal Monarch," intended for dissemination as a Dao Lineage throughout the Great Abyss, Lifebound Scripture, yet unfortunately perished outside the realm, murdered by the Search God Realm Heavenly Dao Origin, attracting ten Evil Gods by the polluted origin attempting to consume the Search God Realm, eventually perishing this Immortal Monarch, driving away all Evil Gods.]
[Note 1: Contains all Immortal Monarch's legacy, refining it may enter the Dao, verify Daoist Transformation, potentially achieving Tribulation Immortal.]
[Note 2: Cultivating this scripture immediately becomes the sole heir of Feathered Immortal Monarch, inheriting the legacy, aside from numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Cultivation Resources, also becoming master of the Immortal Monarch's corpse, commanding all offspring, parasitic evil spirits emerging from its corpse, etc.]
[Note 3: Once cultivating this scripture, contaminated by Taixuan Feathered Origin Qi, both Heart Soul and Dharma Body will be used for "Feathered Immortal Monarch" resurrection, this cost may exempt portions.]
...
Reading these, Great Demon Tao couldn't help but show a cheerful expression.
His cultivated Great Dao is "Ten Thousand Refinements," he won't wholeheartedly cultivate this unappeared Great Abyss legacy, but upon scrutiny, integrating it thoughtfully to exempt those perilous costs.
Putting away the Great Book, he looked at the bronze coffin's record description.
Just the first sentence made Tao Qian laugh:
[Record Name: Taixu Copper Coffin.]
[Record Type: Divine Treasure.]
[Record Description: This was crafted by the Taixuan Feathered Immortal Monarch prior to his death, exhausting heart and mind, mutated into a Fallen Demon then, solely seeking resurrection posthumously for revenge against the Search God Heavenly Dao. Within the coffin are forbidden setups, capable of acting as "Dao Anchor" to gather his corpse, wherever it lies, as long as Spirit Cultivation of God Demon practicing Taixuan Technique presides, capable of pulling the Tribulation Immortal corpse back into the coffin.]
