Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1020 - 653: The Fourth Master of Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, Returning to Spiritual Mountain to Borrow Buddha Soldiers (Part 2)
"Tsk tsk, this is Innate Yin Qi, which has always been controlled by the lineage of [Doumu Yuanjun]. Only a few powerful gods and demons like Emperor Wa and the Emperor Mother have been able to touch it. The Primordial Yang Demon God is the least likely, as his true form is [Innate Yang Essence], making them natural enemies."
"Can this Plague God General Manager truly summon Innate Yin Qi?"
...
Amidst the noise, upon hearing the terms given by Baimu Demon Lord, Great Demon Tao himself was quite tempted.
"Such a big temptation, Primordial Yang's adopted son. If I acquire this identity and go to [Taishang Demon Sect], wouldn't becoming a sect master be within my reach?"
"What a pity, what a pity, I am already set to become the revival master of the Secret Demon. A good woman doesn't serve two husbands."
"Of course, I also cannot truly bring Innate Yin Qi to you. My original form, who is afraid of his wife, would never agree. Besides, if I let you, this big fleshy egg, gain Yin Qi and comprehend the marvels of yin and yang, allowing you to breed a clan of Egg People capable of massive reproduction, it would surely become a major threat to all the human clans in the heavens."
"Helping the enemy is something I definitely cannot do."
Flashing thoughts passed rapidly.
Immediately, Tao Qian's acting skills exploded once again, his unlucky face now gathered with excitement, greed, helplessness, urgency, and other expressions, continuing from his previous words:
"That's right, it's this supreme Wonderful Qi."
"But the king needs to wait a little bit. The Toad God has promised the little god that in ten days to half a month, it will be possible to bypass the Doumu Yuanjun lineage and exchange for some Innate Yin Qi with the clan under Emperor Wa's command."
"Then, as long as the king continues cultivating safely in the Search God Realm, he will surely fulfill his wish."
"Good! Good, good, good!"
"Heavenly Plague Brothers, you truly are remarkable, being able to associate with the Toad God. Such heavenly means, just being a general manager in our modest Ten Thousand Gods Mountain District is truly an underestimation of your talent. As soon as that Innate Yin Qi arrives, you and we four brothers will become sworn brothers. You will become our fourth brother, and we older brothers will take good care of you."
"Not to mention protecting you from the bald-headed monks, whatever you need to prove the Dao in the future, feel free to ask any of the three brothers."
"Big brother, second brother, wouldn't you say the same?"
These bold words immediately made all demons and Tao the Demon Child look at this Baimu Demon Lord in a new light.
It was thought that among the Three Demons, this guy was the least cunning and very honest.
It turns out, this guy was pretending too.
Tao Qian painted such a big cake for him, and he simply returned an even bigger one. Not only did he pretend himself, but he also dragged Yellow Robed Primordial Lord and E Yue Immortal Monarch into it.
But who told the Two Demons to receive great benefits from Tao Qian as well? With mouths full of food and hands softened, they nodded in agreement upon hearing the words.
They came over one after another, together with Baimu Demon Lord, and started addressing Tao Qian as brother, wildly drinking.
The other gods and demons saw Tao Qian smoothly promoted, about to be elevated from [Heavenly Plague Blessing General Manager] to [Fourth Master of Ten Thousand Gods Mountain], and they all came to offer drinks and flattery, the atmosphere was extremely wonderful.
...
Poor the Three Demons, how could they know that the Plague God, indulgent and carefree, who is hugging the Fox God, Charming God, and other female gods and demons in revelry, was carefully observing the detailed records bursting in his mind at this moment.
Among them, all the secrets pertain to them.
Ordinary backgrounds or divine skills are no longer of interest to Tao Qian.
What truly concerned Great Demon Tao were the bottom-line divine powers of the Three Demons.
At other times, it couldn't be seen through, but now, with the Three Demons being so buddy-buddy, almost wearing the same pants, the remaining defenses couldn't resist Tao Qian's abnormal soul's probing.
In the distant Penglai Sea, Tao Qian's original form watched as the demon child used this way of spying, and couldn't help but praise:
"This Demon Child acts so wantonly, it certainly is convenient. These Three Demons are all peerless in divine skills; if they fight without restraint, even if I were to intervene, I wouldn't fare much better."
"Now that the Demon Child has set his sights on them and deceived them, it won't be long before they're finished."
These words of Tao Master seemed like a prophecy.
The Demon Child reveled with the demons on the mountain for several days in succession, getting each of them drunk, then quietly summoned the Three Body Demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Gourd to replace himself.
Afterwards, he slipped down from Ten Thousand Gods Mountain and fled to Tang Country.
Upon entering the territory, he transformed, and the "Peach Blossom Buddha's son," who had visited not long ago with ostentatious misconduct, appeared once more.
He made his way smoothly to Spiritual Mountain, where he met the old acquaintance Jin Tuo Monk in the Zen courtyard.
Jin Tuo Monk seemed surprised by the return visit of the disciple of the Saint Monk, calling out with a grin: "Nephew, instead of waiting out your Emotion Tribulation in your Peach Blossom temple, why have you come to our Spiritual Mountain again? Are you perhaps here to drink with the Eight Heavenly Dragons and White Dragon Venerable?"
At this moment, Tao Qian was indeed reeking of alcohol, perhaps due to drunken misconduct, or maybe to express familiarity and let this particularly special elder know that he was an ally.
With a grin on his face, he approached and grabbed Jin Tuo Monk's wrist, then exclaimed:
"If it's drinking and feasting you're after, I must first seek out Senior Jin Tuo."
"I've come to Spiritual Mountain for important Demon Suppression matters. There's currently a rare opportunity that occurs once in a hundred years. With the assistance of Spiritual Mountain, we could decisively bring down the Three Kingdoms of Liao, Qi, and Wei, rescuing over a hundred million humans living in those lands from peril. I hope the senior can mediate and not let the Three Demons escape this tribulation."
"Oh? I'm somewhat aware of the situations in the Three Kingdoms of Liao, Qi, and Wei. The rulers are the [Yellow Robed Primordial Lord], [E Yue Immortal Monarch], and [Baimu Demon Lord], each a formidable diety with extraordinary roots and deep Taoist power. They are close to stepping into the Daoist Transformation Realm, especially the Baimu Demon Lord, whose father is an Innate God Demon and is quite formidable."
"Moreover, I've heard that these Three Demons have already allied with each other, so dividing forces to attack them is no longer feasible. How could you dare claim you can take down the Three Demons in one fell swoop?"
This was precisely the question Tao Qian was waiting for. Hearing it, he immediately responded, recounting his recent actions in full detail.
The more Jin Tuo Monk listened, the brighter his Buddha-like eyes became.
Especially when he heard that this fellow had infiltrated Ten Thousand Gods Mountain as a spy, and was soon to mix into the position of Four Masters, he couldn't help but laugh.
The next moment, he also heard a very heavy secret:
"Just so you are aware, the Three Demons were deceived by me, regarded me as a brother, and with my secret techniques, I have already unearthed the origins of their mightiest divine skills and their most treasured possessions."
"Firstly, the Yellow Robed Primordial Lord. After failing in the fight for Kui Star Lord, he deceitfully siphoned off at least one-tenth of the Kui Star Power, storing it within his body's source aperture. He can unleash it in emergencies to perform a divine skill [Great Cycle Kui Star Chongdu Divine Skill], which is immensely potent. Moreover, he has hidden a treasure called [Relic Bead Exquisite Inner Elixir], which, when worn, renders the wearer immune to all techniques and frees them from all calamities. Clearly, this item is a Buddhist treasure; I have no idea from where he stole it."
"Next, E Yue Immortal Monarch, who was once a subordinate under the Innate God Demon Taiyin Moon God. Unfortunately, he indulged in his lewd desires and attempted to violate the Moon God, leading to his expulsion from Guanghan Palace. Although his Taoist power exceeds that of the Yellow Robed Primordial Lord, he lacks such formidable divine skills as the Chongdu Divine Skill. However, caution is advised as he harbors a secret treasure known as [Jade Fire Clamps]. Though it sounds unremarkable, it is actually a miraculous treasure from Emperor Wa Palace, requiring careful handling."
"Lastly, there is Baimu Demon Lord, who boasts the most impressive background, strongest backing, and deepest mana. Even in a fight against true Daoist Transformation Realm foes, he'd hold his own, and could summon the aid of his father [Primordial Yang Demon God] at any time. He possesses many treasures, some comparable to the Exquisite Inner Elixir and Jade Fire Clamps."
"Yet this fellow has one fatal weakness—his obsession with attaining Daoist Transformation profoundly tied to the Egg People Clan."
"By exploiting this vicious race, we can break the Demon Lord's divine skills... At worst, we can drive him out of the Search God Realm."
...
By the time Tao Qian finished speaking, a smile had already appeared on Jin Tuo Monk's face, his eyes shining brightly, and he praised:
"Nephew's techniques are extraordinary! The Saint Monk has indeed accepted a good disciple."
"Since you've already thoroughly investigated, I presume you've also planned which Bodhisattvas and Arhats to borrow from Spiritual Mountain to counter the Three Demons."
With this said, even Great Demon Tao couldn't help but smile, nodding in agreement.
