Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1012 - 648: Vajra Unbreakable, Punishment Divine Eye

Listen, what kind of nonsense is this.

To devour an entire God Demon Descendant, leaving not a single scrap of flesh, and then claiming advantage by saying "reduce the broth to the original food".

Lucky for them, the Soul of the Headless Deity Lord had been taken back to the Spiritual Mountain, otherwise, upon hearing this, he would have exploded with anger.

If you seriously think about it, this son of Xingtian, new child of the Demon Ancestor, really lost unjustly.

His battle against Tao Qian should have been a crushing victory.

But who would have expected that inside the Search God Realm, Tao Qian was a Secret Demon Child who would use any means, borrowing power whenever possible.

"This time's conquest has been quite fruitful."

"No wonder those madmen and strong people love war and plunder; it truly is addictively irresistible."

While speaking, Tao Qian silently felt the immense mana within him.

He dared to assert that in matters of mana, not only was he, the Great Demon Tao, invincible among the Secret Demon Child of the same rank, but even spreading to other Daoist lineages, up to his true self, his mana could also be called supreme.

At the same time, his gaze was fixed on the actions of his subordinates: the entire Liang Country was set in motion, gradually swallowing and digesting the entire Golden Country, merging the two into one.

The even bigger surprise was the Divination Worm!

Looking toward the sky, the worm silk inside the creature seemed to be spreading infinitely, gradually unfolding, filling the territory of the Golden Country in half a month, or even less time.

Compared to these "beneficial gains", the Magical Treasures, books, and spiritual materials seized from the Headless Deity Lord could only be considered scraps.

Of course, these scraps, if placed elsewhere, are incredible legacies.

After reflecting on these, the Divine Light in the Great Demon Tao's eyes did not fade, instead, it became even more intense.

He knew that this was greed.

Although he was a Secret Demon Child, his Taoist power and mana were remarkable, and if he wanted to dispel and suppress it, it would only take a single thought.

Yet he did not do so, allowing the greed to surge and boil like fierce fire, unrestrained and rising vigorously.

If one were a Taoist cultivator, a Buddhist practitioner, or walked the Side Door, unable to suppress internal greed, they would immediately face calamity, confusion, and become a Fallen Demon.

But for him, a demon cultivator, this change became an opportunity.

In the next moment, he, across all realms of the Great Abyss, suddenly connected with the Heart Soul of the Divine Monarch Tao Master and straightforwardly inquired:

"I have heard that in this world, all matters of cultivation come at a cost."

"The greater the benefit, the more severe the price, and once unable to pay, it will backfire, leading to ruin."

"It is indeed this way."

From the Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint of the Penglai Sea, Tao Qian Tao Master replied to the Demon Child Body.

Although they were one, the latter counted as an independent body and soul, and Tao Qian could vaguely guess what this fellow intended, but that was the Demon Child's own Dao path, not easy to interfere.

Moreover, it was indeed a plan set earlier, now simply tasting the sweetness, he had no more scruples.

Sure enough, very soon the rather unruly words of the Great Demon Tao came again:

"I cannot take the slow path of cultivation like you, my true self, nor do I wish to, instead, this current situation suits my nature best."

"I wish to greatly borrow the power of the Spiritual Mountain, devouring numerous nearby God Demon Descendants and Daoist lineages, fatten my body and soul, increase my Taoist power, what is the price? My true self, you have practiced the Future Dharma, can you teach me?"

Hearing these words, feeling the restless stirring of the Tao Demon Child.

Forced to sit in meditation to suppress the Dao Nightmare, Tao Qian's face darkened, but he still employed the Buddhist Power within to sense the future.

Not long after, in the Peach Blossom Temple, a faintly echoed voice arose in the Tao Demon Child's mind:

"Hmph, you've made up your mind long ago, deliberately asking to tease me."

"The more you borrow the power of the Spiritual Mountain, the more you're entangled with the Golden Cicada, the more Emotion Tribulations you'll accumulate... If by the time the tribulation is completed, I haven't been able to cultivate that Tao Buddha Child, or if the cultivated Tao Buddha Child is unwilling to take your place as the apprentice of the Golden Cicada, naturally you'd have to go yourself, and those sisters of yours would all have to be sacrificed, singing some 'since ancient times affection leaves only regret' sentimental verses."

"This is still a lighter price. If it's heavier, and the Golden Cicada sees through your origin then he and the power of All Heavens Buddhism come to Penglai Sea to trouble me, my true self can only sever the Heart Soul connection with you, sending you to the Spiritual Mountain, where he would surely refine you into a Puppet, devoid of any self, which might be worse than complete ruin."

Speaking to this point, Tao Qian paused.

In his eyes, the Buddha Light surged.

Certain fragments within the River of Time were forcibly severed, reflecting in Tao Qian's mind.

That was a few years later, changes in the Search God Realm post the outbreak of evil power by Tarnished Compassion.

Chaotic downfall!

Filth flourished!

All kinds of tragic sights, far more terrifying than the Longevity Realm before by a hundred or a thousand times.

Seeing these, Tao Qian sighed slightly, and transmitted back:

"These are the prices you have to pay."

"Then, using the evil power of the Buddha of Tarnished Compassion to plot against the Search God Realm, how can such a poisonous scheme come without cost?"

"If they succeed, needless to say, the gains far outweigh the price."

"If they fail... needless to say, you and I will be the price paid by the Buddhas of Spiritual Mountain."

Upon hearing this, laughter immediately echoed in the temple.

At this moment, the Great Demon Tao finally revealed some of his true nature, and with a face full of wanton praise, he said:

"Good, good, good, this is my true cunning self."

"If we indeed fail to outsmart All Heavens Buddhism, after the failure, just hand over me, this Demon Child... hmm, remember to erase my True Spirit first, a puppet will suffice."

...

Having made a decision, the Demon Child acted swiftly.

A few days later, the Liang and Gold countries formally announced their merger and were renamed the "Peach Blossom Nation."

Although it was given such a strange name, its status and reputation did not change much. It remained a mid-sized country unnoticed by major powers, with its population barely exceeding a hundred million, comparable at most to one county among big nations like Tang, Ming, and Zhou.

However, for Tao Qian, it had already doubled.

Although he was anxious, he knew to proceed gradually. He was unwilling to kill the chicken to get the eggs like the Headless Deity Lord and other Evil Demon Descendants. Instead, he used various methods like giving them food, clothing them, sheltering them, and teaching them the Dharma to convert the tens of millions of new believers.

About half a month later, there were no traces of Wild Gods or immoral sacrifices within his domain. Peach Blossom Temples could be seen everywhere, everyone reciting the Peach Blossom Scripture, truly making it a paradise as the nation's name suggested.

Seeing the time was ripe, the Great Demon Tao acted immediately, once again reaping benefits. In the name of "Peach Blossom God," he gathered the collective thoughts of all his people to assist in cultivating the "Ten Thousand Refinement Spirit God Method."

Due to the previously acquired organs: Pure Yang Essence Root, Three Thousand Worry Threads, Ten Thousand Marvelous Mysterious Pearl, and Dragon Tiger Meat Elixir, the benefits are endless. His combat abilities skyrocketed, leading Tao Qian to take this method as his primary cultivation divine skill, temporarily putting on hold the cultivation of the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Body Sword Technique."

Three days later, Tao Qian awoke in the main temple, his expression very complex.

There was an indescribable pain as if he had been violated, along with the joy of finding treasure.

The Tao Master sensed across space and instantly understood the benefits the Demon Child Body had gained, applauding and praising:

"Stop making such a strange face, this 'Ten Thousand Refining Spirit God Method' is truly one of the forbidden techniques of the Secret Demon Sect, unparalleled in its mystery."

"With the divine might of the alien organs you've obtained now, the potential and power of the dharma body are comparable to Senior Brother Xuu Xun's 'Qingwei Dao Body,' and Senior Sister Lu's 'Golden Crow Method Body.' If you indeed expand this so-called Peach Blossom Nation into a major power with billions of believers, then no matter how precious my Spirit Treasure Sublime Body is, it will surely be surpassed by your Demon Child Dharma Body."

"For such great benefits, it's only natural to pay some cost."

With these sarcastic words, the Demon Child Body immediately became annoyed.

Grinding his teeth, he retorted: 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Hmph, shameless true self."

"No wonder, during your cultivation of the Three Teachings at Penglai Sea, you never practiced this Spirit God Great Method. With your insight, you must have seen the power of this divine skill. Back then, there were numerous Lord Suppressing Evil Temples within the Longevity Realm, and there was no shortage of believers' wish power. It was because you feared the indescribable pain that you temporarily abandoned it."

"You nurtured me, this Demon Child Body, and hastily threw it at me. After I achieve it, I have to thank you in return, enhancing your prestige. Truly cunning calculation."

At this point, the Great Demon Tao's expression suddenly changed, he chuckled, and his mind started flickering.

Since the two are one, needless to say, Tao Qian also knew what the Demon Child Body intended.

It's nothing else, just wanting to find an opportunity in the future to tarnish his good reputation, perhaps with some scandalous rumors.

The Demon Child Body took away some of Tao Qian's cunning and black-hearted nature, and once unleashed, it was rather mischievous.

He didn't care, others cultivate the "Chaos Soul Splitting Method" at the cost of being unable to control their avatars, essentially splitting themselves. But Tao Qian was exempt from this price, the Demon Child Body, however powerful, was still Tao Qian, with life and death, freedom within a thought.

"You bragged about reaching enlightenment before me, let's see if you truly have that ability."

"All Heavens Buddhism is known for its cunning and expertise in calculations. Quickly let the Divination Worm grow, thoroughly see through Buddhism's grand plan. You and I will coordinate internally and externally, see if we can pull Tao, Demon, Side Door, and Great Abyss Demon all in, stirring up the situation, giving those bald monks a taste of the Yellow Sparrow comes later."

"No need for you to say more, just watch."

With that, the Great Demon Tao disregarded the pain, showing a happy face, and took stock of the gains from this refining practice.

The people of Liang Country helped him obtain four types of alien organs.

The numerous believers from Gold Country, having just been converted, had slightly thinner wish power but still contributed three types:

"Vajra Unbreakable: This alien organ serves as the dharma body's outer shell, also formed from the integration of Vajra Dharma and the wonders of Outer Realm Demons through the wish power of millions of spiritual thoughts. With a single thought, it can make the outer shell become Vajra Unbreakable, impervious to water and fire. The only price to pay is that once this alien organ is used, the dharma body immediately seals off everything, only absorbing without releasing, which might lead to potential constipation unless the secret cleansing organ is employed."

"Punishment Divine Eye: This alien organ is lodged in the dharma body's chest. Normally closed, but with a single thought, it can observe the hidden secrets of all things, from All Heavens to the Nine Netherworld. In battles, it has miraculous uses, can see through flaws and secrets. It is a formidable wondrous eye. The price of using it is being sensed by Xingtian. As usage increases, these eyes may become unwilling to close again, consistently occupying the chest."

"The people of Gold Country are truly lacking in creativity compared to those from Liang Country in this regard."

"These two alien organs are clearly plagiarized. The Eight Heavenly Dragons and Headless Deity Lord."

"Why do they have to occupy my chest?"

The Great Demon Tao had yet to sense the third alien organ and was already feeling the effects. But he didn't let it bother him. Instead, he found joy in taking stock of his new spiritual treasures.
