Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1021 - 654: Peach Blossom Bliss Named Bodhisattva, 9-Spirit Taisui Elixir of Creation

If other cultivators come to the Spiritual Mountain, babbling on about the weaknesses of demons and seeking Arhat Bodhisattvas as warriors to subdue them, no matter how much they look like a Buddha's son, they'll surely fail and be driven down the mountain.

Only he, Great Demon Tao, is an exception.

This fellow has long been recognized as one of their own.

Thus, Jin Tuo Monk is so polite and even makes jokes with him.

And now that Tao Qian is on Spiritual Mountain, why would he be polite? He laughed and said straightly:

"That Yellow Robed Primordial Lord has a bountiful star power within and is protected by Buddha treasures, yet is the easiest to deal with. I've heard there is a Secret Buddha deep in Spiritual Mountain named [One-horned Buddha Mother], whose profound Buddhist Law specializes in subduing Fallen Demon Jackals. Might the Buddha Mother agree to send one or two Dharma Protector Venerables to help me reclaim the Yellow Robed Primordial Lord at Ten Thousand Gods Mountain and also retrieve the Relic Bead Exquisite Inner Elixir back to Spiritual Mountain?"

"E Yue Immortal Monarch is slightly more troublesome; this rogue has mastered the Taiyin Secret Technique in Guanghan Palace and acquired Wa Empress's Secret Treasure, which ordinary cultivators in the Daoist Transformation Realm can hardly handle against. But I know on Spiritual Mountain there is a [Moon Pure Bodhisattva], commanding all shades and illuminating the universe, who is indeed the destroyer of E Yue. Could we call upon Bodhisattva's avatar to enlighten this scoundrel?"

"The most difficult to deal with is Baimu Demon Lord. It requires a powerful Arhat Bodhisattva to contend with him, then I can come forth and entirely enlighten his [Egg People Clan] descendants. While his spirit wavers, I can enlighten or expel them accordingly."

"I wonder if the elders and all Buddhas on Spiritual Mountain might assist me for the sake of the human clan in the three countries of Liao, Qi, and Wei."

Tao Qian finished speaking in one breath and then looked at Jin Tuo Monk.

Though he remains a demon avatar of Tao Qian, he has secretly strengthened himself with the [Future Buddha Heart]. In this vast Spiritual Mountain, apart from the existence of Buddha Venerable, no Arhat Bodhisattva or Buddha can penetrate his true nature.

As for appearance and acting skills, needless to say, this fellow's eyes are flashing with what is called "compassion for humanity."

Even Golden Cicada, this Saint Monk, would be far inferior to Tao Qian in terms of pure acting skills.

Of course, Jin Tuo Monk had no intention of refusing Tao Qian, for allowing this destined grand disciple of the Future Merit Buddha to use Spiritual Mountain's forces, expand influence, and increase Taoist power was already implicitly approved. Golden Cicada is destined to prove himself as a Buddha, entangled in vast Buddhist sect plans; who wouldn't give him face?

Thus, in the next moment, Tao Qian heard Jin Tuo Monk smiling and nodding, pointing at Tao Qian, and replying:

"You little one, really know how to choose."

"The Buddha Mother is indeed the destroyer of all Fallen Demon Jackals and human corpse evil spirits in this world. I know under her command is [Lotus Corpse Demon Heart Venerable], who cultivates the 'Buddha Mother's Protection Mantra,' can go forth and assist you against the Yellow Robed Primordial Lord."

"You know that Moon Pure Bodhisattva can suppress the Taiyin Secret Technique, but don't know that a treasure called [Jade Fire Clamps] has truly eccentric power, having been infused with Emperor Wa's Source Qi, it is suppressive to all sentient beings. Fortunately, Bodhisattva has recently realized something new, sending forth an illuminated Zen Body, whose nature sea is clarified and reflects the Zen Heart, hence immune to the power of Jade Fire Clamps, making it not difficult to take down E Yue Immortal Monarch."

"As for Baimu Demon Lord, I can ask [Dragon Slayer Arhat] to split a Dharma Body to accompany you, as Arhat is a disciple of Buddha Venerable, when you see him, you should call him Uncle Master."

"With these individuals assisting, and letting the Eight Heavenly Dragons accompany, with you serving as the insider, it should not be difficult to subdue the three demons on Ten Thousand Gods Mountain and their god demon descendants, heretical evils."

As soon as Jin Tuo Monk finished speaking, Tao Qian showed a splendid smile.

Nodding repeatedly, he expressed his joy: "Not difficult, not difficult, excellent, excellent."

While enjoying himself, unexpectedly Jin Tuo Monk changed his tone and laughed, saying: "Young one, don't be quick to rejoice. As it is commonly said, all cultivation matters carry a cost. Although you are the destined grand disciple of the Saint Monk, and you will achieve Bodhisattva Position in the future, currently you are still a Secret Demon Body, even with a Buddha Heart, unable to account for such large debts."

"Consider carefully what price you must pay to invite the Bodhisattvas and Arhats on the mountain to assist you in subduing demons?"

Tao Qian was proud, utterly unprepared to be confronted by the old monk, nor expected such a veteran at the foot of Spiritual Mountain to talk such worldly matters of trade, debt, or costs.

Luckily, Tao Qian knew well in advance that All Heavens Buddhism would not be easy to exploit; hearing these words brought some relief, thinking that the Buddhist sect's calculation on his title and belonging was just nominal, not fulfilling his 'drawing pie skill' on his own terms but making substantive demands instead.

After all, eventually, there will be a genuine "Tao Buddha Child" coming to ensure the foundation in Search God Realm, so Tao Demon Child had no concerns.

Without delay, he reached out to grab the old monk who wanted to leave, intentionally showing anxious expression, and immediately spoke:

"Elder, please wait, the reason I maintain this Secret Demon Body holds significance, and even the Saint Monk acknowledges it."

"However, my Buddha Heart is not false, my admiration for Buddhist Law is even more genuine, how about after this matter concludes, I change the title of [Peach Blossom God] to [Peach Blossom Pure Land Bodhisattva], spreading amongst millions of human clan members in this realm, to demonstrate my heart towards Buddha."

Upon stating the first condition, Jin Tuo Monk chuckled at his words but soon shook his head, implying it's still insufficient.

Tao Qian perceived the old monk as difficult to deceive; changing the god demon title indeed means little since everyone knows that any god demon with some Taoist power has eight to ten other names and titles, and not just Bodhisattva, claiming to be Immortal Monarch or Heavenly Emperor would not shock believers, while they recite heartily, merely referring to Peach Blossom God.
