Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 142 - 130: The Good Children of the Infant Sect, The Great Battle Approaches

Within the territory of Southern Yue, Red Cloud Mountain, Sunv's Mansion.

In that luxurious inner hall, atop the extravagantly opulent, warm, and soft bed, the 97th princess of the Devil Gods, Princess Yin Susu, famous for her beauty, was sitting naked in meditation, her brow furrowed in deep thought.

Beside her, Tao Qian lay flat and unremarkable.

With such a soft jade-like beauty beside him, not a single romantic thought crossed the bottom of his heart; instead, he silently pondered,

"Daughter Spring may be a marvel naturally nurtured by heaven and earth, but even my abnormal soul can only exempt itself to this extent. This daughter of the Devil Gods likely won't find any secret technique to disrupt the forbidden technique, right?"

"As long as she can't undo the forbidden technique, there's a good chance I can keep my virtue intact. After all, were I really to conceive a girl, she may end up having to serve me during birth."

"Being a princess, how could she bear to deal with those things?"

While Tao Qian thought of such things, he couldn't help but silently check in on his puppet body elsewhere.

Upon shifting his spirit to it, the first thing that met his eyes was a slightly eerie scene:

Numerous tender white threads under the shine of a green, glossy light, continuously wriggling, reconnecting the limbs shredded by tusks piece by piece, arms and legs, torso, flesh, head, and more. In the blink of an eye, in front of Tao Qian's puppet body, Shan Jiu, the Wild Leek Demon chewed to bits, had come back to life.

However, there was no joy on the face of that green-haired youth. He sat squatting on a peach blossom branch, covered in scars, with a worried and pained expression as he looked at Tao Qian wrapped up by numerous shattered peach blossom branches and roots.

He fiddled around, attempting to clear the chaotic branches in front of him.

But as soon as he moved, a "snap" sound echoed, with a branch fiercely lashing against his body.

The other branches too began to squirm, clearly threatening him that they would lash out together at any further disturbance.

This only increased Shan Jiu's melancholy, as he sighed,

"Daoist, your Master is somewhat unreasonable, you know. Shan Jiu here is trying to save you."

"But it doesn't matter if I don't save you, we'll all die soon enough."

"It's just that Shan Jiu is different from you all, I will be resurrected."

"The trouble is, I must be excreted by this enormous creature. It's a little bit disgusting."

Listening to Shan Jiu say these infuriating words, Tao Qian, aided by the green light emitted by the Wild Leek, quickly scrutinized his surroundings and the state of his puppet body.

Everywhere in sight was flesh and blood.

As if having arrived at the most sinister hell on earth, a river made of corrosive toxic waters flowed through the bloody intestines, filled with various terrifying corpses. Every single one was an altered body of demons strong enough to drive one mad. Yet, here, they were all chewed up.

Those with stronger powers could stay afloat on the surface.

The weaker ones were digested in a few breaths, blended into the murky yellow waters of the Nether River.

Tao Qian saw many familiar figures, like the Naked Saintess who died with eyes wide open, her skin like that of a Snow Woman chewed into a mound of flesh paste, with numerous tapeworms wriggling painfully in the muddy broth alongside her, and the body of a Python Demon, also chewed into sections, floating on the surface.

At the same time, the Yin Yang Elder and the Wolf Demon, among a dozen others Transcend Mortality Demons that revealed their colossal true forms, also met the same end.

Transcend Mortality Demons were already in such a plight, let alone the alien beings like those from Energy Introduction and Refining who were even less fortunate. They couldn't even leave behind a complete corpse.

Tao Qian's Puppet Body was, without a doubt, also among the "weak."

The reason he miraculously remained alive was not only because the Bodhisattva had not specifically targeted him for killing and consumption.

More importantly, it was Pan Hongniang, the Nongyu Immortal who had completely died.

But the Peach Blossom branches, which she left behind after a Soul Splitting, still followed their instinctual obsession, protecting the body of her beloved. The branches and roots actively bent and broke to form a hollow sphere encasing Tao Qian, and the petals imbued with Pan Hongniang's source Mana were struggling to resist the corrosion of the poisonous water.

"Pan Hongniang sacrificed everything, including her Soul, to create this peach tree, which after bearing her Heart Demon's obsession, became a sort of alien object. This alien object doesn't possess True Spirit Wisdom, yet it instinctively protects this Puppet Body of mine."

"It's just a pity that the Blood and Flesh Nether River possesses extraordinary Power, and this peach tree won't last much longer."

As Tao Qian conceived this thought, his ears were filled with continuous sizzling sounds, which were the noises of the branches being eroded away.

Tao Qian had no time to pay heed to Shan Jiu's mutterings at this moment, for more astonishing noises were continually coming from the outside world.

First was a thunderous, earth-shaking roar, as if the entire land was being tormented by a gigantic creature; from time to time, one could even hear through the thick, blood and flesh, the crazed mumblings and screeching of the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva.

"Come, enter my belly, and share in the Ultimate Happiness."

"None shall escape, who can challenge me in this territory?"

At first, Tao Qian still had the patience to listen to the Beautiful Corpse's delirious muttering.

But soon after, Tao Qian's Puppet Body's complexion turned extremely ugly.

Because not much later, the Blood and Flesh Nether River suddenly surged with a huge wave, inside which alarmingly were one body after another of ordinary-dressed human corpses. It seemed in their lifetimes they had witnessed terrifying scenes, as each one's face and eyes were filled with fear and despair.

On seeing such a horrifying sight, Tao Qian suddenly remembered what the Beautiful Corpse had once said herself, that after she had swallowed the many Demons of Iron Buddha Mountain, she planned to consume the common people of the nearby towns and counties as well, to fortify her devil body and then return to the Demon Buddha Temple.

"Damn it!"

Tao Qian's Puppet Body was instantly filled with rage, the killing intent evident in his eyes.

Alas, he couldn't do much, for as weak as the Puppet Body was, it would soon be corroded clean and fused into the Muddy Nether River.

His considerably stronger original body had been captured by the Daughter of Devil God, unable even to pass on the information, let alone deal with the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva.

By now, Tao Qian was also aware of the Ancestor God Forbidden Technique and the Longevity Barrier, and he understood that this was actually the dawn of a new era.

The Mortal World had suddenly lost its protection, and the Demonic essences suppressed for more than two thousand years were rapidly spilling forth. One misstep might pull the Human Clan world back to that ancient period.

Back then, the Human Clan was much more miserable than it is now.

Tao Qian was new to this world and had rapidly cultivated to his current realm within a short period, which was already quite rare.

If he intended to compete with the likes of the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, an Evil Demon, it could only happen in dreams.

Just as Tao Qian was seething with anger, suddenly, another tremendous change took place outside.

Accompanied by a sound like an air burst, the noise of the colossal creature ravaging the land abruptly stopped.

Instead, what replaced it was one bronze halberd after another, each releasing a terrifying glow of dozens of feet, engraved with a large amount of runes, actually breaking through the Beautiful Corpse's defenses and piercing directly through her body.

Even in front of Tao Qian, there was a terrifyingly powerful long halberd that penetrated through.

The runes and radiance on it quickly faded, corroded by the poisonous water, and crushed by the flesh.

But soon, Tao Qian heard the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva's frantic and furious hiss,

"Ji Xianxian, your opponent is Tang Xianzong."

"This Bodhisattva advises you not to meddle with me. We have no quarrel with each other. Once I have devoured the hundred thousand people of Seeking Immortal County, I will immediately return to the Demon Buddha Temple and no longer participate in the fight with the Devil God Army."

"If you do not agree, do not blame me for really joining the Devil God Army to trouble you."

The Beautiful Corpse had just spat out those words, without waiting for Ji Xianxian to reply.

A voice came first, like a child's but with immense dignity.

Accompanied by this voice was a terrifying aura that seemed to surge through heaven and earth, completely overwhelming even the Beautiful Corpse, who had revealed the Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Dharma Form.

The childish voice was filled with overwhelming killing intent,

"Beautiful Corpse, Southern Yue is protected by the Ten Thousand Infant Sect. Others may fear your Demon Buddha Temple, do you think I do too?"

"Today, never mind returning to the Demon Buddha; first, see if you can save your life under my sword."

As if his words became law, the moment these words were spoken,

A sword intent of extreme sharpness truly split heaven and earth, followed immediately by the sounds of thud thuds of large amounts of flesh and blood limbs falling to the ground, as well as the sharp hiss of the Beautiful Corpse in pain.

"Ten Thousand Infant Sect, Li Shantong."

"Well, well, this Bodhisattva shall see how you, the Sect Master of the Infant Sect, kill me."

"As long as I do not die today, I will one day ascend your Sect's Mountain Gate and devour all those tender-skinned Infant Cultivators clean."

Although the Beautiful Corpse's hiss was filled with anger and murderous aura,

Anyone could tell that she was trying to escape.

This was also normal; her combat strength was extremely strong, easily overpowering several cultivators of the same rank.

But her opponents now were even more terrifying. Not to mention the mysterious Sect Master of the Infant Sect, Li Shantong, Ji Xianxian and the eight hundred thousand World Suppressing Army alone were enough to kill the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva on this realm.

This rapid reversal of the situation didn't give Tao Qian a chance to express his joy.

Suddenly, another rough voice interrupted the battlefield, along with this voice came an incredibly dense, fierce demonic aura. They gathered and soared into the sky, standing off across the Seeking Immortal County territory against the same suppressing eight hundred thousand army.

"Hahaha...do not worry, Beautiful Corpse Daoist, Tang Xianzong is here."

"I reckon today is a good day, just right to decide the ownership of Southern Yue territory."

"I greatly envy Ji Daoist's fortune from being an ordinary Sealed Territory Governor, ascending to the heavens and stepping into the Cavernous Mystery Realm, even being able to wield great righteousness to control the power of Southern Yue, where a single word can decide the life and death of tens of millions of civilians."

"If Ji Daoist can do this, there's no reason I, Tang Xianzong, cannot."

"Boom!"

...

As this series of drastic changes continuously came from across the belly of the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, Tao Qian was momentarily stunned.

Only until suddenly, there was a hissing noise by his ear – the peach tree that had sheltered him with its life was unknowingly corroded black and rotten by the poison, finally completely unable to ward off the invasion of the poisonous water.

The last branch, as if with a life of its own, squirmed over, adorned with a withering peach blossom, caressing Tao Qian's cheek as tenderly as a lover would.

Then, withering under Tao Qian's gaze, it fell into the poisonous water.

And in the next moment, he too began to feel the extreme pain all over his body, realizing that he too was starting to corrode. Tao Qian couldn't help but sigh.

Although he very much wanted to see how this battle between good and evil, which would determine Southern Yue's future, would end?

Unfortunately, the Puppet Body would soon be no more, and the true form was also in danger.

Resigned, Tao Qian turned back to his true form, glaring at Princess Yin Susu who was struggling to make one last verbal effort.

Suddenly, the female official's report resounded from outside the hall.

"Princess, the Prince Consort just visited with his avatar and took 'that item' from the Treasure Vault."

"He instructed me to definitely report this matter of life and death to the Princess. Currently, the Devil God Army generals and the World Suppressing Army are having a decisive battle at the Seeking Immortal County territory."

"The Prince Consort does not regard people like Ji Xianxian, fearing that the Ten Thousand Infant Sect and the Mysterious Saint might resort to some special means. Should that time come, the Prince Consort hopes the Princess can lend a hand."

These few sentences contained a lot of information.

Yet to Yin Susu's ears, only the first caught her attention.

Her face, which previously bore a look of unsatisfied longing, instantly bloomed with radiant joy.

Then she suddenly got up, saying to Tao Qian with excitement:

"My little man, your fortune has arrived. This princess just so happens to have a place where the Daughter Spring Water can be suppressed, but due to the treasure stored there, it couldn't be used."

"Now that 'the item' has been taken by that dead man Tang Xianzong, it's perfect to use."

"That place is wonderfully unparalleled. Whether it's cultivating in it or doing other good deeds, one can gain great benefits."

"If it weren't for the fact you drank from the Daughter Spring Water, this princess wouldn't be willing to share such pleasures with you."

With that, Yin Susu, still without a stitch of clothing on her,

Grabbed Tao Qian's body, completely disregarding the female official, and straightaway opened the door to head to the Treasure Vault.
