Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1048 - 662: The Spirit Coffin Ancestor Behind the Lamp, the Demon Child Sets a Trap for the Crown Prince

The Mystical Pearl Avatar had just begun to speak, immediately catching the attention of Tao Qian's original form, the Demon Child Body, and the newly transformed "Taixu Master," all of whom had their eyes gleaming.

Detecting an opportunity, they simultaneously spoke: "Good secret, elaborate."

According to the relationship between the parties, that Demon-Suppressing Li Family's Third Prince is actually the brother-in-law to Tao Qian's Mystical Pearl Avatar. However, this brother-in-law almost killed him from a distance with a [Fire-tipped Spear] back then, having taken a piece of meat from Tao Buddha's body, holding grudges deeply.

Thus, a good investigation was conducted, digging out the entire cause and details of this secret:

"The Demon-Suppressing Li Family is a cultivation family with mystical divine abilities in the Great Abyss, originated from [Earth Immortal Realm], within the clan are Lady Yin, Li Heavenly King, three brothers plus a daughter, and two adopted daughters later, Green Lotus Fairy and Half-Goddess Guanyin, possessing both Daoist heritage and methods from ancient side doors."

"However, the majority of grievances within the clan are centered around [Demon Suppression Heavenly King Li Jing] and [Eight-Armed Demon Third Prince] this father-son duo."

"Before achieving Dao, the two had ambiguous, complicated grievances, which remained unresolved even after attaining Dao. The Third Prince considers that he has repaid the paternal grace, and now it's time for the Demon Suppression Heavenly King to repay the earlier karmic debt, therefore, whenever an opportunity arises, he tries to kill Li Jing, making him pay life for life."

"Among the Li family, in terms of Daoist power and slaughter divine abilities, the Third Prince is indeed the supreme."

"Unfortunately, Li Jing also has extraordinary opportunities; he has two masters, apart from an ancient Loose Immortal, his other master is the Great Abyss Acquired God Demon [Randeng Daoist], a god rumored to be a side door Daoist Ancestor who once spread Taoist teachings across realms, such as the Spirit Coffin lineage in the Longevity Realm."

"However, Green Lotus says this god is likely linked to Yuanshi Tianzun, may have attained Tribulation Immortal through receiving teachings from Tianzun, hence can also be counted as a party of Yuanshi Tianzun."

"Li Jing was originally no match for the Third Prince, but was personally bestowed the supreme treasure [Linglong Treasure Tower] by Randeng Daoist; this tower greatly restrains the Third Prince's divine abilities, housing a Origin Lamp Qi cultivated by Randeng Daoist inside, capable of unleashing terrifying lamp flames, nearly countering the Third Prince's Dharma Body forged from Innate Green Lotus."

"A few days ago, the Third Prince led troops to suppress demons, in a blunder during a fight killed a figure close to the Primordial Sect's side door, thus agitating Demon Suppression Heavenly King to a rage, reprimanding him as an unruly child, untamable wild nature."

"The Third Prince again infuriated, intending to kill his father, but was halted by the Treasure Tower, half his body burned, whereabouts unknown currently..."

...

"Oh, the aristocratic vendettas!"

Upon hearing such detailed secrets, Tao Buddha's son couldn't help but exclaim.

The enormous grudges formed inexplicably between this father and son with opportunistic encounters, if unresolved before attaining Dao, fears the karma cost would multiply post-attainment, further tough to disentangle.

Yet these are more advantageous to him, Tao Buddha's son.

His newly transformed avatar "Taixu Master," at this time stroking a snow-white immortal beard, casually spoke:

"Each member of the Li family has a storied background."

"However, other clan members seem hard to con, with no apparent flaw for me to exploit, it just so happens there's this 'brother-in-law,' full of slaughter divine abilities, with direct and fiery disposition, entangled in karma, best suited for targeting."

"But gaining his trust wouldn't be easy either, brother-in-law's cultivation is indeed mighty, still a capable conqueror of gods and demons, currently has but one weak point available."

"Wonder if the original form has a way to ensure he isn't harmed by the Divine Fire inside the Linglong Treasure Tower, can vent his frustration, yet can't truly revolt, slaying that Demon Suppression Heavenly King, the karma would be too tremendous, potentially provoking [Randeng Daoist], getting exposed."

From across the Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint, Tao Qian evidently hadn't anticipated this involving themselves.

Speaking of, he barely associated with Randeng Daoist.

Years back, he befriended a "Lin Bujue Daoist" in New Moon Province, a direct descendant of the Spirit Coffin lineage, also wielding a treasure [Spirit Coffin Lamp], wondering how it compares to the Linglong Tower.

Without pondering long, Tao Qian swiftly concluded, eyes slightly brightening, soon musing:

"Since the tower's Divinity is a Origin Lamp Qi cultivated by an Acquired God Demon, unless one's Taoist power surpasses Randeng, otherwise hard to extinguish, this lifetime the Third Prince fears difficulty in reversing fortunes, as long as the treasure tower remains in Li Jing's hand, he won't be able to kill a soul." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Although sparing him from the agony of Divine Fire is not without solutions."

"I've forged deep ties with the [Outer Heaven Flame Essence] clan, were it not for me currently confronting the Dao Nightmare in the Star Acupoint, those little guys would've already introduced me to their immensely powerful old ancestor, with their elder's stature, capable of repelling any fire within the Great Abyss, whether it's Dao Fire, Buddha Fire, or Demon Flame."

"Let's do this, I'll reluctantly face the little guys to discuss, likely procure a strand of [Innate Flame Essence Origin], used as material to refine a batch of [Innate Fire Pill]."

"You go present it to that brother-in-law, once the tower absorbs, containing the fire pill in mouth will ensure safety."

"Good!"

Days later, Taixu Master indeed obtained a batch of Innate Fire Pills.

With this reliance, now without hesitation, he headed directly for Zhou Country's realm.

...

The Third Prince holds the highest Daoist power in the Li family, when he seeks to hide, none can find him; yet it's different with Green Lotus Fairy, the siblings are both bodies of [Innate Wood Spirit], with deep affection, capable of perceiving some location vaguely.

Knowing this, Green Lotus Fairy naturally informs Tao Qian.
