Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1045 - 660: The Demon Child Body Nears Dao Attainment; Tao Master Secretly Plots Against Primordial_5

Nothing else, just a "refining" character.

However, Tao Mozi knew better that as a Secret Demon Child without a Master to shield him, he had no such high status, there must be other matters involved.

Indeed, as soon as the demon thoughts of the ancestors receded, there was guidance from Master Xu Yu Zi, who truly favored him.

This time, there was no cover-up, the words were clear and straightforward: 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Boy, you have guts and good fortune as well."

"You have already entered the Dao, and are considered to have passed the Dao Trial. As long as you continue to cultivate step by step, within a hundred years you will surely reach the Daoist Transformation Realm... You are ahead of all Secret Demon Children, and the ancestors also know your means, in this Sect Master selection, you took the lead."

"However, the reason the ancestors are willing to let go of your previous offense is for the sake of the 'All Heavens Secret Demon Nest'. This concerns whether the Secret Demon Sect can be rebuilt, it cannot be delayed. Most Secret Demon Children are in the Search God Realm, which is also the realm with the most spiritual materials. Whether the Demon Nest can be refined is precisely your responsibility."

"But All Heavens Buddhism is employing great means, intending to devour Search God. If they succeed, the Secret Demon Sect won't even get a sip of soup."

"The ancestors have calculated that you are the one to break the deadlock."

"If you can truly succeed, all the ancestors are willing to overlook past grievances and support you to ascend to the position of Sect Master."

"If you cannot..."

"Settle accounts after autumn!"

Tao Mozi took the initiative to speak, adding a sentence.

Master Xu Yu Zi was also a clever person, chuckled lightly, and first replied with "Indeed".

Before the demon thoughts dissipated, he solemnly reminded:

"Your trickery in beguiling Golden Cicada, using his influence to take advantage of Ling Mountain, is still passable."

"But you should be aware that All Heavens Buddhism never fusses over momentary gains and losses. They excel at using open strategies to take control. Once the situation is set, they can swallow existences like you whole."

"Although it's not clear what method the Daoists on Ling Mountain plan to use to swallow the Search God Realm, they must have already begun. If you don't have a backup plan, withdraw quickly."

...

These words from Master Xu Yu Zi indeed awakened Tao Mozi from his complacency.

Undoubtedly, during this time, Ling Mountain had seemed overly generous to him.

Tao Qian, thick-skinned, borrowed Buddha Soldiers for his own conquests and expansions, getting Arhats whenever he needed them, Bodhisattvas whenever he wanted them. The territories and believers he seized were all allocated for Tao Qian's use.

Even a "biological father" wouldn't be this generous.

Is All Heavens Buddhism truly this benevolent?

Naturally, that's impossible.

Tao Mozi didn't need to think much to know the reason.

"Tarnished Compassion Buddha!"

"Before that 'Tarnished Compassion Buddha Poison' completely permeates the Search God Realm, Ling Mountain will continue to be so agreeable, so benevolent, until Compassion erupts, changing all things irreversibly. Then those Arhat Bodhisattva Buddhas will reveal their true tusks."

"At this stage, I've already taken all the benefits I could. It's time to reverse the situation and plot how to ruin the bald donkeys' plans."

"Wouldn't you agree, Tao True Monarch?"

"You, the dignified Spirit Treasure Subduing Evil Lord, inherently kind, committed to saving the world. Surely, you can't just watch as the pitiful beings inside the Search God Realm end up with a bad ending, being schemed against by All Heavens Buddhism, right?"

An unexpected, unprovoked retort that turned Tao Qian's face dark inside the Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint, almost making him curse.

Earlier, when boasting, he called the True Self to see how strong his mana was, how deep his Daoist Transformation, claiming he would soon be enlightened in the Daoist Transformation Realm.

Now with requests, he resorts to flattery, always addressing him as Tao True Monarch.

Pah! Shameless.

However, contempt aside, as the Demon Child Body said, he indeed couldn't turn a blind eye.

But as Master Xu Yu Zi mentioned, the situation in the Search God Realm, with the overt strategies prevailing, may render all other calculations pointless, fearing ordinary means would be ineffective.

Just as the True Self and Demon Child were staring at each other, racking their brains to no avail.

A turning point appeared a few days later.

It fell upon Tao Mozi, who had sent out a Mystical Pearl Avatar to handle the Emotion Tribulation, eloping with the Green Lotus Fairy to the Zhou Country.

The latter was a person from the Li family, a demon-suppressing family within the Primordial Sect.

On this day, the Mystical Pearl Avatar sent back a most astonishing message:

"The Primordial Sect inheritors inside the Search God Realm, along with Li Family and other branches' inheritors, have been extremely busy these days, gathering spiritual materials and setting up ritual formations, seeming to have a big move."

"I found the right opportunity to drag the Green Lotus Fairy to bed, entwined for days, almost exhausting myself despite the help of Taiyin Water Essence, Innate Yang Essence, and Pure Yang Essence Root."

"Unable to resist my entanglement, the Green Lotus Fairy finally revealed the secret."

"It turns out the Primordial Sect is preparing to welcome the incarnation of the [Twelve Golden Immortals]!"

"The Twelve Golden Immortals are direct disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun. In a few months, they will descend upon the Search God Realm, carrying abundant resources and driving the newly cast ultimate treasure of the Primordial Sect, [Jade Capital Golden Palace]. This treasure is created as an imitation of the Heavenly Venerate's Daoist Field, Kunlun Mountain Yuxu Palace, resembling a miniature Spiritual Mountain inside the realm, akin to the true Spiritual Mountain in All Heavens Buddha Lands."

"Upon the descent of the Golden Immortals, the Primordial Sect will hold a 'Jade Pure Dharma Assembly,' inviting numerous worthy God Demon descendants and Daoist Lineage inheritors from inside the realm to attend."

"Formally announcing to all fellow Daoists..."

The conclusion of the last sentence didn't require the Mystical Pearl Avatar to speak out.

Tao Buddha's son, and Tao Master in the Star Aperture, both thought of the same thing at this moment.

Excitement gleamed in their eyes as they both said:

"The Primordial Sect has grown greedy!"

"They want to compete with All Heavens Buddhism, aiming to swallow the entire Search God Realm."

...

"Good, good, good, just what I needed."

"Both you and I were worried about not finding any other grand strategy to oppose All Heavens Buddhism, didn't expect here it comes."

"Indeed, in terms of strong fighting spirit and abundant power, among the numerous Daoist Lineages in the Great Abyss, it is [Primordial Sect] that is most suitable to wrestle with those bald monks on the Spiritual Mountain."

"This time with you, Tao Master, Rescue Suffering Master Suppressing Evil Lord, thinking of a brilliant plan to see if we can lure the Primordial Sect to face off against All Heavens Buddhism. As long as we can drag them into the water, everything can be discussed."

Excitement felt in the Demon Child Body was sensed by Tao Qian.

However, he highly suspected that fellow was excited not for saving the world, but largely anticipated gaining great benefits from causing chaos. He also wanted to witness an unprecedented spectacle.

Of course, so did he.

He didn't speak much, just nodded.

After pondering for a while, he didn't wrack his brain alone, instead took out the ultimate treasure [Miraculous Tree Treasure Boat], made a Spirit Treasure Seal on the boat, sincerely called: "Disciple Tao Qian, feeling doubts about Dao, could I invite Sect Master to appear to resolve my confusion."

According to protocol, seeing the Sect Master, Tao Qian should incense and visit Biyou Palace personally.

Still, being trapped in Star Aperture, expedient measures could be forgiven.

Sure enough, he was indeed favored.

No sooner had the words fallen, Spirit Treasure Glory flashed, a vague figure filled with Dao Rhyme appeared before Tao Qian.

After Tao Qian disclosed the situation inside the Search God Realm and all the antecedents and consequences, expressing his desire to harm the friendly "Primordial Sect," Sect Master showed no anger, instead sent a surprised glance.

"Huh? You brat also want to harm the Primordial Sect?"

"You and your Master, indeed share inexplicable grudges with the disciples and descendants of Primordial Master. Whenever a disaster or calamity arises, you think to use [Primordial Sect] as a scapegoat for disaster, I don't recall teaching you and your Master such skills, must be your inherently cunning nature that self-realized."

"What? We and the Master?"

On hearing this, Tao Qian couldn't help but guessed something.

Without waiting for him to ask, the Sect Master did not conceal, but rather smilingly revealed a secret that surprised both the true self and avatar, leaving them bemused.

"No big deal!"

"Last time inside the Longevity Realm, according to the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, it was time for us Spirit Treasure Sect to undergo a disaster, which would cause the loss of many disciples, the origin of the disaster being the Primordial Sect."

"This is nothing, cultivation matters are inherently like this, cost must be paid when due."

"But your Master Duobao couldn't bear the clandestine means of several fellow Daoists from the Primordial Sect seeking great loss for Spirit Treasure Sect, at that time, he had just refined the 'Divination Technique' to Great Success, with the Lifebound Sky Worm integrated into Longevity Heavenly Dao, voluntarily took up the karma, meticulously schemed for years, ultimately transferred majority of the calamity, cost, onto the Primordial Sect."

"That calamity destroyed the Primordial Sect's Daoist Field residence inside Longevity Realm, causing many Primordial inheritors to perish."

"Such a deep grudge almost affected the relations between the two Heavenly Venerates."

"Speaking of, your Master had extraordinary talent, should have proved the Daoist Lord and entered Tribulation Immortal early, tarried for years, even required reincarnation to cultivate again, indeed as residual effect from that calamity."

"However, now it's entirely compensated, when that lazy monkey returns to Spirit Treasure, surely can prove the Tribulation Immortal."
