Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1071 - 677: The Uxorilocal Son-in-law Reveals His Might, the Crown Prince Mistakenly Becomes Bait (Part 2)
"Issue the order to evacuate, Sect Master. I've heard that the Divine Ganoderma Sect was afflicted by Tarnished Compassion Poison, causing the entire sect to go mad overnight. They consumed all the elixirs in the Elixir Room in a frenzy, and then they all transformed into 'Medicine People,' each throwing themselves into the Pill Furnace until they were refined into a monster with a thousand heads, thousand hands, and thousand feet, covered in pustules and tumors, now wandering the wilderness, calling out 'Eat Pills to Ascend' and devouring any lifeforms they encounter." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Even the Divine Ganoderma Sect, a well-known Side Door in the Great Abyss and skilled in Alchemy, ended up like this. If we don't flee now, I'm afraid we won't have another chance."
...
With the might of the Tarnished Compassion Poison, nine days and nights are enough for it to ravage.
Even the Xiu Family struggled, and the other Gods, Demons, and Daoist Lineages will fare no better.
The scenes of devastation are unending, life is laid to waste.
For a moment, retreat signals echoed throughout the realm.
Just as Tao Buddha's son couldn't hold back any longer, Spiritual Mountain finally stirred.
On this day, within the borders of Tang Country.
The "Little Ling Mountain" suddenly emitted ten thousand feet of Buddha Light, soaring skyward, and the fragrance of Buddha's charm permeated the vast Search God Realm.
As the entire realm's eyes were drawn, the mountain suddenly manifested the shadows of ten thousand Buddhas.
The central figure was none other than the contemporary Buddha Venerable.
An endless compassionate Buddha's chant resounded instantly:
"Amitabha Buddha!"
"The Lord of the Eastern Vaidurya World once made twelve great vows, wishing to relieve all living beings from suffering and to seek liberation. Feeling the sudden Evil Tribulation in the Search God Realm, he has specially dispatched 15,144 Medicine Glazed Luminous Tathagata Monks to the realm, with Vaidurya Medicine Pots, to subdue the Evil Poison and save all beings."
"This is an act of compassion and kindness, asking for no return, not entangling in cause and effect."
"We hope that the Heavenly Dao of this realm will widely open the Convenient Gate."
Before the Buddha's chant had finished, there was already a response.
The Heavenly Dao Origin of the Search God Realm, lacking much Spiritual Wisdom, relied purely on instinct, using every means to extort, coercing all Gods and Daoist Lineages to invest resources into the Search God Realm.
Now a free offering had come, how could it refuse?
This fool, fearing the Buddha Venerable might regret it, instantly opened a world passage for Him.
Opening the barrier wasn't enough; it also displayed phenomena like flowers falling from the sky and rainbow light pouring forth, effectively endorsing All Heavens Buddhism.
In the next moment, the contemporary Buddha Venerable lightly waved his sleeve, and mysterious Buddha charm descended from beyond the heavens, transforming into a pillar of Buddha Light that fell into Tang Country.
Inside the light pillar, monks seemingly forged entirely of Vaidurya, holding medicine pots, materialized and prepared to step out, officially entering the Search God Realm.
Such a majestic and flawless act immediately stirred the entire realm.
The forces backed by Innate Gods and Demons and Supreme Dao Veins still harbored doubts.
But a large number of medium and small forces welcomed the "Medicine Glazed Luminous Tathagata Monks" with unbridled enthusiasm.
Seeing these scenes, Tao Buddha's son couldn't help but lament for the fool:
"What a foolish Heavenly Dao Origin!"
"In those bald donkeys' Great Plan, there was no 'Heavenly Dao endorsement' part; those bald donkeys came to devour you whole, yet you clapped your hands and offered a welcoming spectacle... foolish to the point of heartache."
Tao Qian mocked the Search God Heavenly Dao sarcastically.
Turning around, he himself couldn't help but assist All Heavens Buddhism.
With the cooperation of Heavenly Dao, the initial resistance from a large number of medium and small forces was easily resolved.
Tao Qian's tasks were all difficult bones to gnaw on.
Fortunately, in the matter of sponging off, Tao Buddha's son was incredibly skilled.
After all, he was the "uxorilocal son-in-law" beloved by each family's Directly Inherited Immortal, Witch, and Goddess. With a small maneuver, although not holding much power of speech, opening a door for those Medicine Glazed Luminous Tathagata Monks was not difficult at all.
Merely a day passed, just 24 hours.
Nations like Chu Country, Song Country, Ming Country, Shu Country, and others which initially refused the entry of the Glazed Monks all opened paths.
Thousands of Medicine Monks found destinations.
For a moment, the entire Search God Realm seemed transformed into a Pure Land Buddha Realm.
Monks were seen bustling everywhere, with incense offerings and new temples and palaces being constructed... The voice and prestige of this Daoist Lineage of All Heavens Buddhism, in a single night, overshadowed all the other Daoist Lineages.
Even Zhou Country, governed by the Primordial Sect, granted entry to several Medicine Monks at the behest of the Green Lotus Fairy to subdue the rampant Evil Poison in various cities.
The Buddhas on Spiritual Mountain marveled, praising the spectacle endlessly:
"Truly worthy of being the disciple of a Saint Monk, extraordinary skill."
"There might be errors with the appearance, but the title is absolutely correct; after all, as the Buddha's son Peach Blossom is destined to certify the fruit position of the Ultimate Happiness Bodhisattva, it is only fitting for him to have such prestige."
"This is indeed the blessing of Daoist Golden Cicada; both master and disciple seek to prove themselves as Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, a delightful tale indeed."
"The power of an uxorilocal son-in-law is truly astounding."
The last sentence came from the clone of Dragon Slayer Arhat, who, though esteemed as a disciple of the Buddha Venerable, seemed upright, yet was in truth a rakish Arhat.
And his words, coincidentally heard clearly by Tao Buddha's son, who had just toiled for a whole day, leaving his waist sore, immediately caused a change in his expression.
Clenching his teeth, he cursed inwardly:
"Shameless bald donkey!"
"When in need, you call me Bodhisattva Peach Blossom, but once done, you refer to me as an uxorilocal son-in-law pretty boy. If I, this Demon Child, don't ruin your poison scheme on Spiritual Mountain, I'd be hard-pressed to vent my anger."
As luck would have it.
Just as Tao Buddha's son was muttering curses, a task suddenly came to his long-ignored clone disguise, Taixu True Master.
Sensing it, he immediately merged his mind to move over.
...
Zhou Country, Daluo Mountain.
Still within that Hidden Valley, there appeared a head topped with the sun and moon, clad in a lotus robe, a half-grown youth with three heads, nine eyes, and eight arms.
If not the renegade disciple of the Primordial Sect, the rebel offspring of the Li Family, then who else could be the Demon-suppressing Third Prince?
Clearly, at this moment, the Third Prince was in excellent spirits, having a rare moment of sitting properly, and while facing some casually arranged form of Divine Communication ritual said:
"Taixu Old Immortal, brother has come today to repay the favor."
"Years ago, with your aid, you gifted me a vial of Innate Fire Pills, barely enough to cope with that old thing Li Jing's Linglong Treasure Tower."
"I, your brother, have ambushed that old guy several times over the years, finally seizing an opportunity, overturning his tower and slicing off half his body with my Fire-tipped Spear, leaving him charred black, thoroughly venting an old grudge."
"Alas, Li Jing's backing is deep, especially with Randeng Daoist shielding him blindly, to kill him is likely impossible, to vent is already the utmost.
"Oh right, brother, I came today to warn you, Old Brother."
"Because you, Old Brother, are chivalrous and righteous, helping me, you are also implicated, being targeted by the Li Family and even the Primordial Sect."
"Not only did that guy Li Jing go crying to Randeng Daoist, seeking Magical Treasure and Divine Skills to sift you out... even my Master, Taiyi Rescue Suffering Immortal, wishes to use me as bait to draw you out, they fear you might be some Demons and Ghosts, with some shady schemes."
"Humph, they greatly underestimate your true nature, could anyone assisting me be an Evil Demon?
"But what they say, no amount of effort can overpower great strength, regardless if it's Randeng Daoist or my respected Master, they are beings whom no ordinary Cultivator or God Demon could provoke.
"Though Old Brother, you seem to have quite a background and decent Divine Skills, you might not be their opponent, better to quickly leave the territory of Zhou Country.
"If truly captured, I'd have to risk my life saving you, and having already died once, should I die again, even revered Emperor Wa could save me no more.
...
The prattle upon hearing caused Taixu True Master, who came responding to the ritual, that is, Tao Buddha's son, to have an involuntary freeze in expression.
Clearly not anticipating that the typically hot-tempered Eight-Armed Demon Third Prince, would have a 'talkative' side.
Furthermore, he was quite self-familiar.
Clearly, he and Tao Qian, this disguise, hadn't even met, only reconnecting after several years, yet due to the fate of gifting elixirs, he started directly addressing as brothers.
Moreover, exceedingly respectful towards elders, placing Tao Qian in the position of 'Old Brother.'
Between the lines, highly loyal.
Knowing the Li Family, Taiyi Immortal Monarch, and Randeng Daoist are all seeking to trouble Tao Qian, he came voluntarily to tip him off.
At that moment, from where the Heavenly Dao was hidden, Taixu True Master, transformed from Tao Qian, stroked his beard lightly, gazing at the Third Prince below, sighed with a laugh:
"Truly a good little brother!"
"Though alas, with the heart's wisdom, still like a child, heedlessly falling for the ruse of his master and father."
"Coming to tip me off is real, yet quietly used as bait, is real too."
And with that thought.
Tao Qian also looked around the Third Prince's surrounding void, where several terrifying presences, concealed from the Third Prince, but completely visible to Tao Qian.
