Longevity Chronicles

"Can I learn the Great Freedom Heart Light Escape Technique?"

"Yes, you can learn."

"Can I learn the entire set of Little Reincarnation Formless Secret Methods?"

"You may learn."

"But..."

"Silence! I do not know what you are delaying for, but with such insincerity, do not blame this monk for being ruthless."

Before Tao Qian could ask again, he was interrupted by the Old Demon who, with eyes blazing like fire, advanced on him as if to crush Tao Qian's Primordial Spirit any moment.

But before he could get close, Tao Qian suddenly took out an Elixir from a gourd that emitted a rich fragrance and announced to the surroundings,

"All Demons must see this clearly, this is the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Pill."

"Follow my command, charge and devour this demon monk, and you can share this gourd of Elixir."

Upon hearing these words, Bai Qin's complexion drastically changed.

And inside the supposedly empty spirit platform, suddenly, hundreds and thousands of Outer Realm Demons appeared.

These demons, all incredibly cunning, were originally just spectating.

Now, upon seeing the Demon Pill in Tao Qian's hand, they screamed collectively and surged toward Shariputra like a swarm of ants.

"Shameless!"

Before being submerged, the Old Monk managed only to spit out these two words.

Soon after, Tao Qian's spirit platform burst forth with a terrifying Demonic Qi.

The thousands of demons were either repelled or devoured.

Amidst the roars, Shariputra's Buddha Light Illusion crumbled into a hideous fog of intermingled Buddha and Demon, surging towards Tao Qian.

"Shameless scoundrel, refusing the drink I offer, you must instead suffer the penalty."

"I did not wish to harm your life, but since you insist on resisting, don't blame this monk for being discourteous."

"I will directly seize your excellent Primordial Spirit and refine you into a Puppet, which will not hinder my enlightenment nor becoming an Ancestor, nor starting the lineage of Bai Qin."

"At most, it will only cause enmity with your Master, whom I haven't met yet. My Great Freedom Temple can withstand that."

While roaring, the Old Demon advanced to devour Tao Qian's Primordial Spirit.

This scene was certainly a prelude to body seizing.

But a strange scene unfolded, seeing himself about to be seized; Tao Qian did not move an inch, offering no resistance.

This caused Shariputra to have an ominous feeling, but like an arrow drawn on a bow, he had no choice but to release it.

The Demon Fog engulfed Tao Qian.

Then inside the spirit platform, Tao Qian's Primordial Spirit first felt danger, and then he experienced the most exhilarating shudder ever.

In his mind, a Record emerged:

"Currently undergoing a seizing by the True Buddha Demon Spirit... exemption possible!"

With the Record, an indescribable force, originating from an unknown source, descended, instantly shattering Shariputra's nearly purified Buddha Demon True Spirit into dust.

Before his demise, Shariputra seemed to sense something, but he didn't even have the chance to cry out in agony.

Plunging into endless darkness, the only thing he managed to hear was a sigh from Tao Qian:

"If the Master did not come to seize, the junior truly wouldn't know what to do."

"Now it is perfect, fulfilling the Master's wish to purify the Demon Thoughts and resolving the troublesome third Calamity for me."

"Master, may your journey be peaceful!"

After the sigh, Tao Qian did not even glance at the remaining Outer Realm Demons in the spirit platform, shivering and staring at him in terror.

He threw them back into the Outer Realm and closed the Secret Acupoint again.

Tao Qian immediately came to his senses and, looking at the Record in his mind, confirmed that Shariputra's True Spirit and Divine Soul were completely annihilated.

Watching the remaining part of the Human Dao Destiny flood, he quickly opened his mouth and spat out the Bai Qin Relics.

Perhaps it was fate!

That final wave of destiny washed away the remaining demonic nature within the relics completely clean.

From that moment on, the object could no longer be called Bai Qin but should be referred to as the Buddha Bird Relics.

These are true Buddhist Treasures, refined from Buddha into Demon, and now, having cleansed its demonic nature, they can be used by hundreds to Protect the Dao and oppose enemies as the Buddha Bird Vajra.

With a thunderous boom!

As the last trace of demonic obsessions dissipated, suddenly, a golden Shariputra emitted a dazzling Buddha Light that enveloped ten thousand miles around.

Inside and outside the battlefield, a million spectators saw everything clearly.

They also saw Tao Qian gently pluck the Shariputra, ready to brand it with his own Divine Soul True Spirit.

Just at that moment, an unexpected change arose.

Within Seeking Immortal City, amid the camp of the Righteous cultivators, a little monk who bore the aura of a Buddha's son and was guarded by many monks suddenly rolled his eyes back into his head.

After a brief moment, his eyes returned to normal, and he immediately raised his voice towards Tao Qian's direction, shouting,

"Donor, please hold on, this relic is the legacy of my junior brother Bai Qin from the Great Freedom Temple, and it is a Buddha Treasure of our Temple."

"I implore the donor to hand it over to this humble disciple Hui Xin to bring back, and the Great Freedom Temple will surely offer a generous reward."

Tao Qian heard these two sentences.

However, he sneered inwardly without cease, while his face seemed oblivious, and he continued to hold the relic, to brand his True Spirit on it.

Tao Qian originally thought that, at this moment, it would be only that old monk from the Great Freedom Temple using his disciple's body to descend in thought and snatch back the Buddha Bird relic.

But soon after, more startling changes occurred.

It seemed that earlier, it was just the surging Human Dao Fate that hid and did not reveal itself.

Now that the Human Dao was concealed, Tao Qian's background as a Qi Refining Realm cultivator was fully exposed, and these lurking malice began to erupt together.

The first thing Tao Qian felt was Qin Wuxiang.

This Mysterious Saint who had almost killed him not long ago now drifted over like a bright moon, and a voice as cold as that of an Immortal also sounded,

"Daoist, you've ruined this Saint's plan, I don't ask much in compensation, just hand over the Buddha Bird relic to me, and I shall spare your life."

Qin Wuxiang had just finished speaking when Tao Qian didn't have time to respond.

But then he saw that from under Corpse Mountain, within the Beautiful Corpse that was left with nothing but a torn husk,

her frozen Primordial Spirit suddenly opened her eyes at that moment, leaped out of the husk, and appeared in the sky above.

A male voice, extremely domineering and cold, yet carrying a hint of Buddha Nature, emerged from the Beautiful Corpse's mouth:

"Little Daoist, you let those hundred Bird Demons gnaw away at my beautiful disciple's body, leaving me with nothing but this broken husk."

"Out of consideration for you being a Spirit Treasure Cultivator, I will not trouble you, just give me this Shariputra."

This series of changes left Tao Qian both astonished and amused by anger.

Yet what plunged Tao Qian into horror was the next moment when a sudden thundering palpitation rushed into his mind.

Tracing its source, Tao Qian suddenly looked not far in front of him, towards the altar where the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Needle and the Heavenly Demon Blood Bag pinned by it were located.

The sacred robe that should be silent was now beginning to squirm.

An extremely terrifying will, as if it could descend at any moment.

Whose will was this?

There was no need to guess, it was self-evident.

"Damn Bai Qin!"

"Is this the karma you wanted to transfer?"

"Luckily, I duped you to death, old goods. If I truly let you escape the ordeal and reincarnate, perhaps to start a lineage in the Bai Qin Temple, and then you threw all these terrifying karmas at me, wouldn't I be doomed?"

Tao Qian roared inwardly.

At the same time, he was about to immediately throw the Buddha Bird relic in his hands away.

This damned thing, whoever wants it can have it.

He, Tao Da, had already gained a great deal of Human Dao Fortune and was quite satisfied.

While Tao Qian was thinking this, all of a sudden, in the sky above the battlefield, there came a sound of laughter, clear as a bell and incredibly pleasant to hear.

At the same time, directly in front of Tao Qian, a dazzling and charming young girl abruptly manifested.

This young girl had fair skin, four horns on her head, and trailing green hair that reached her ankles. Despite looking like a Devil, what she radiated was an exceedingly pure Daoist Immortal Spirit Qi.

The moment she appeared, she stood directly in front of Tao Qian with her hands on her hips, and then, undiplomatically, spat repeatedly at the powerful entities threatening Tao Qian.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

"You Great Freedom Temple stinky monk, weak chicken pretty boy, the Demon Buddha Temple's foolish monk... and you, Devil God, think you're so impressive?"

"You shameless things, you dare to bully my household's Young Master."

"The Master said, today anyone who troubles the Young Master will personally have him come with the Heavenly Punishment Sword, one by one knocking on their doors, even if it means starting a Sect War, he is not afraid."

"The Master also said, whatever benefits the Young Master gets, since it's in the Young Master's hands, then it belongs to the Young Master."

"If you disagree, just wait a few breaths, until I, Zhong Doudou, notify the Master to descend himself and... have a word with you lot!"
