Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1036 - 659: Ten Thousand Refining Spirit God Achieved Great Success, Demon Child Threatens the Patriarchs

He even had the thought of inviting this True Buddha away, but he couldn't bear to part with the benefits, so he never really acted on it.

Tao Qian naturally was unaware of these thoughts, but his proactive speech was enough to alert the major powers within the Search God Realm.

Excessive actions could easily expose oneself.

In fact, his swallowing of the Baimu Demon Lord had already caused some dissatisfaction in the Dragon Slayer Arhat, who felt that he still hadn't fully aligned with the Spiritual Mountain and was only using its banner to reap benefits for himself. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Fortunately, Golden Cicada felt that forcibly enlightening him would damage the spirituality of this "Natural Buddha's Son," and coincidentally, Tao Qian's original self was about to birth the Tao Buddha Child. The increasingly intense and mysterious future Buddha nature successfully dispelled the Saint Monk's suspicions. Personally vouching for him, they muddled through the situation.

He didn't care about these matters, he single-mindedly focused on refining the Baimu Demon Lord.

This Demon Lord was not comparable to those previous Outer Realm Evil Spirits like the Heavenly Steed Demon, White Bone Lady, Five Battles King, or Fetus Evil Demon Mother.

His abundant mana aside, he was infinitely close to Daoist Transformation.

His bloodline was outstanding, to some extent, it could be considered a transformation of Innate Yang Essence.

More importantly, within his soul and true spirit, he harbored the already cultivated Taishang Demon Path.

Swallowing him was equivalent to swallowing a top-grade Heavenly Demon Great Pill, whose benefits were so great that even Tao Buddha's Son couldn't anticipate them.

However, the digestion process was truly grinding.

Both parties suffered, in great pain.

The Baimu Demon Lord wailed as his flesh and blood were gradually consumed. His flesh, inherited from the "Primordial Yang Demon God," was very resilient, comparable to a divine weapon, but even this could not endure the gradual wear of methods from the Chaos Demon Ancestor, such as Chaos Demon Teeth, Chaos Life Extinguishing Divine Light, and Great Extinction Divine Water, as if enduring a lingering death.

Tao Buddha's Son was feeling bloated, as if an ordinary human had eaten an entire cow, always on the verge of bursting to death.

To protect his belly, Tao Qian had to let Fish Basket Guanyin wield the Clear Heart Moon Toad Tile, smashing his skull every half hour, while constantly summoning dozens of Source Sea Demon Dogs to consume the foul evil substances accumulating in his stomach, maintaining a delicate balance.

The verbal exchange between them was mostly the Baimu Demon Lord cursing, while Tao Qian responded wretchedly.

In the first few days, Baimu was still cursing Tao Qian as a vile creature, despicable Secret Demon Child, or Spiritual Mountain's dog, and so forth.

Later, he gradually softened, changing his address to "virtuous brother," "Daoist," and the like.

Unfortunately, whether it's threats, bribes, or cajolery, none worked on Tao Qian; he just continued to focus on consuming the flesh.

About ten days later, Tao Buddha's Son awoke with a joyful expression.

He still couldn't move, as the Baimu Demon Lord hadn't been completely refined.

But now his mana had surged once more, his Dao Heng was even more profound, and the previously vague opportunity for enlightenment was now becoming clear.

Tao Qian introspected, almost unable to see traces of the Baimu Demon Lord, leaving only an entirely pinkish-white, very round, peculiar meatball.

Its surface was inscribed with Primordial Yang Divine Patterns layer upon layer, deepening infinitely.

Anyone observing it could comprehend Divine Power Skills like the "Primordial Yang Refining Essence Secret Talisman," "Primordial Yang Heavenly Book Fragment," "Taishang Yuan Yang's Nine Revolutions Nourishing Essence Skill," the price being they must become a descendant of the Taishang Yuan Yang Lineage.

Moreover, the meatball still bore a face. Who else could it be but the ugly face of the Baimu Demon Lord?

After ten days of wear, even he couldn't withstand it anymore. Sensing Tao Qian's demon thoughts, he promptly pleaded for mercy:

"Virtuous brother, virtuous brother, don't go, hear your brother out."

"Your brother lost to you earlier because my divine skills were inferior; I acknowledge my inferiority and hold no grudge in my heart."

"In these days, your brother has also guessed what you seek. You wish to obtain the secret True Skill of the Taishang Demon Sect, and blend it with your Secret Demon Method to enlighten the Daoist Transformation Realm, Taishang Heart Refining, Secret Demon Refining God, which is truly profound."

"Why not this way, your brother is willing to take a Dao oath, never to trouble you in the future, and ask my father to grant you a Primordial Yang Great Dao Elixir."

"This elixir is infinitely wondrous, personally collected by my father from 'Innate Yang Essence' and other Primordial Yang miraculous substances, refined over millennia in one furnace, precisely to complete the Dao Path for you, my virtuous brother, and also to redeem my life."

"How about it?"

Hearing these words, Tao Qian couldn't help but sigh.

After a moment of thought, he replied:

"Baimu Daoist, stop struggling."

"Not to mention that as the son of an Innate Demon God, ordinary Dao oaths have no binding power over you."

"Even if I truly let you go back and you actually obtained that Great Dao Elixir, your father, the Primordial Yang Demon God, wouldn't spare me; there's no Dao oath in the Great Abyss that could bind such an old god."

"This is a struggle of the Dao, life and death, no room for mercy. Since the Daoist has lost, go in peace."

After speaking, Tao Qian said no more, nor did he give the Baimu Demon Lord another chance to persuade him.

Sealing the internal apertures, he began to transmit instructions to his subordinates.

Once more, under the name of Taoyuan Country, he began to annex the three countries of Liao, Qi, and Wei.

Having the prior experience of swallowing Jin, though this time it involved three great countries at once, and tens of millions of believers, it was not too difficult.

Especially now, with the full support of the Spiritual Mountain.

Of course, the cost was not small.

In the newly formed vast Taoyuan Country, the name of the Peach Blossom God gradually weakened, with few believers using it.

Instead, it was replaced by the Peach Blossom Pure Land Bodhisattva.

Throughout the various Peach Blossom temples, no trace of Dao or Demon Lineage palace and temple styles could be found; everything in sight was set by the Buddhist Sect, even the sacrificial ceremonies were completely altered beyond recognition.

In the eyes of the Spiritual Mountain, this was only natural.
