Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1073 - 678: Taixuan Becomes Taixu, the Demon Child Tricks the Heavenly King (Part 2)

No matter whether it's the Emperor Wa's Divine Skill or whatever great talents the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Primordial Sect have, no matter how they predict and calculate, as long as they start from that Dao Rhyme, they will arrive at the same conclusion.

Perfect and flawless, without any flaw.

As the three of them were murmuring, Taixu Master, disguised as Tao Qian, had already left the Daoist Field and stood before the Eight-Armed Demon Third Prince.

The mischievous child muttered for a long time and now finally saw the True Master.

Immediately clapping his hands and standing up, he approached to grab Tao Qian's Daoist robe sleeve, then excitedly and curiously said:

"You are my elder brother, this realm's Hidden Immortal, Taixu Daoist?"

"Earlier, a land deity on Daluo Mountain called Grass Robe Old Man said that you, elder brother, have attained the Dao for thousands of years, and are cultivating the Dao Fruit inheritance left in the Great Abyss by the elderly Heavenly Venerate?"

"Now that I see it, it's indeed true, the Daoist Scripture song rhymes you recite, although I haven't heard them before, they must be the secret Daoist Scripture of the Primordial Sect."

"Eh!"

Speaking of this, the Third Prince seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly lit up.

He slammed his palm hard and shouted again:

"If that's the case, aren't you the direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, elder brother?"

"According to seniority, you are of the same generation as my master, the Taiyi Rescue Suffering Immortal, and if Li Jing, that old thief, sees you, he's afraid he will have to call you senior, hahaha..."

Obviously, Li Jing losing face is the source of joy for the Third Prince.

He laughed to himself, instantly causing the three shadowed observers' expressions to change, Lady Suzhi smiled wryly, Li Jing's face turned dark again, and the Transcending Calamities Immortal laughed openly.

Tao Qian also laughed inwardly, but openly, he couldn't join in joking with this mischievous child.

With a solemn face, his brows furrowed, he then addressed the Demon-suppressing Third Prince:

"If before today, you child had come to inform and call me to leave this place, I would have followed obediently."

"Although I have obtained the 'Primordial Sage's Scripture of Dao Fruit' left in the Great Abyss by Yuanshi Tianzun, I wouldn't truly feel I am equal to the Twelve Golden Immortals, let alone use seniority to interfere with the karma and enmity between you and the Demon Suppression Heavenly King. The Fire Elixir given earlier was merely in accordance with our Search God Realm's rule, responding to requests."

"However, this time, I must thicken my skin to visit my fellow practitioners of the Primordial Sect."

"Not for myself, but for the countless living beings of this realm."

"If delayed any longer, I fear the entire Search God Realm will be swallowed whole by the evil poison great plan of [All Heavens Buddhism], and I might end up with my soul obliterated or be captured to Spiritual Mountain to become a clay Bodhisattva."

These words were plainly addressed to the Demon-suppressing Third Prince.

In reality, they were undoubtedly meant for the three hidden figures.

Sure enough, the three who initially came to fish for information and hold him accountable, especially Li Jing and the Transcending Calamities Immortal, had their expressions change drastically upon hearing this.

Both were insightful individuals with exquisite thoughts. Upon hearing terms like All Heavens Buddhism... Evil Poison Great Plan… swallowing Search God Realm... these key phrases, were enough for them to deduce the situation in an instant.

Compared to the shock of suddenly learning this secret, the next moment when Taixu Master openly revealed their whereabouts didn't matter much.

Tao Qian pulled the Third Prince to his side, then looked towards a void, performing a Dao salute, then spoke:

"If my Dharma Eye is not mistaken, Li Heavenly King and wife, along with a senior expert, are present here."

"I've clearly stated my origins and intentions, may I ask if you could reveal yourselves for a meeting?"

After speaking, the three indeed appeared.

Although they were cursed by the good son earlier, Li Jing at this moment didn't even glance at the Third Prince.

His burning gaze fell solely on Tao Qian.

While hiding, Li Jing and his master, the Transcending Calamities Immortal, both used Divine Skills and Secret Techniques to confirm Taixu Master's identity as the 'Primordial Remnant Cultivator'.

Not wasting time now, he directly asked:

"Daoist Taixu, I don't mind your assistance in the child's mischief against me, but could you clarify the matter about All Heavens Buddhism's evil poison great plan to swallow Search God Realm?"

"If verified true, our Primordial Sect is unwilling to stand by and watch, will definitely not let the Spiritual Mountain Buddhas act recklessly and fall into the Demon Path."

Tao Qian, or rather, Taixu Master.

A performance so carefully staged was awaiting this very line from Li Jing.

Upon hearing it, his face immediately displayed an authentic mix of anger, helplessness, and fear, a complex array of emotions.

Then, under the curious gaze of the three people, Tao Qian revealed:

"For your information, dear friends, though I, Tao Qian, style myself as [Feathered Immortal Monarch of Taixu], a person from the Search God Realm, have attained the Dao for thousands of years, I am not fond of slaughter or magic duels, and thus my fame is not prominent in this realm. Yet, with the Heavenly Dao's favor, I have refined many secrets, dispelled doubts through divine skills, and nothing in this realm escapes my Dharma Eye."

"This realm is on the verge of collapse, with the Great Abyss Demons and Dao veins coming to assist, indeed, I felt much joy."

"Earlier, when All Heavens Buddhism sent many Buddha's sons everywhere to spread scriptures, I secretly aided them."

"One would think with so many gods, demons, and Daoist lines invested, the collapse of the Search God Realm would be delayed, and life would be nurtured... Yet over the years, I found that not only has the realm not gained vitality, but it's filled with decay, calamities brewing, a scene of terminal illness."

"I was puzzled, so I used divine skills in secret investigations."

"A few days ago, I finally uncovered the shameless poisonous plot of All Heavens Buddhism. It turns out they used a terrifying evil poison called [Tarnished Compassion Buddha Dust] to thoroughly pollute the Search God Realm when they descended here. After years of brewing, the poison reached deep into the marrow, causing calamities to erupt in various lands and countries."

"This evil poison is pervasive and unassailable; the souls defiled by it will undoubtedly become chaotic and fallen, filth sprouting everywhere, even causing their true soul to mutate, leaving no chance for reincarnation."

"The only antidote to this poison is the [Medicine Glazed Luminous Tathagata Monk] now wandering inside the realm."

...

"Hiss."

As soon as Tao Qian finished speaking, even the face of the Demon-suppressing Third Prince showed a look of horror.

Li Jing and his three companions were even more shocked and furious.

For the past half month, the Tarnished Compassion Poison has been rampant in the Search God Realm, visible to all.

The Zhou Country, ruled by the Primordial Sect, has also not been spared.

Previously, the members of the Primordial Sect tried various means to detoxify, even the descending Twelve Golden Immortals took action, but to no avail.

The crowd was puzzled about what kind of evil poison could be so formidable?

Now, hearing these revelations, the case is solved, solutions have been found.

Li Jing, the Demon Suppression Heavenly King, entirely disregarded reprimanding his own unruly child, his face showing anger, almost revealing his thousand-zhang Dharma Body, he bit his teeth, and angrily said:

"Such treacherous All Heavens Buddhism, such deceitful Spiritual Mountain Buddhas."

"First they poison, then use Buddhist law to resolve it, devastating a realm to enrich themselves."

"No wonder over the past ten thousand years, All Heavens Buddhism has expanded rapidly, originally thinking it was due to the profoundness of Buddhist law, but little did I know it was through such poisonous schemes."

He was angry, and the Transcending Calamities Immortal, who was initially carefree, no longer had a nonchalant demeanor.

This powerful Loose Immortal from the Earth Immortal Realm had deep expertise and a wide network, not only having old ties with the Daoist sects but also friendships with some Bodhisattva Arhats of the Buddhist Sect.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but show disappointment, shaking his head and sighing:

"No wonder there is a true saying in the Great Abyss: Buddha and demon are one."

"At first, I thought it was implying the connection between the Spiritual Mountain temples and Demon Buddha Temple, but now it seems it's far more than that."

"I don't know if my few friends on Spiritual Mountain know of this matter?"

The Transcending Calamities Immortal was asking, but judging by his expression, he probably already had an answer in his heart.

Tao Buddha's son saw the expressions of the two and secretly praised his own convincing performance and the smooth progress, in his heart he couldn't help urging Li Jing, thinking, "Li Heavenly King, knowing the grave situation, do not delay any further, quickly take me to meet the Twelve Golden Immortals, as long as we get past them, the Primordial Sect will have to fight regardless of their reluctance, and the Worldwide Attack on Tang will succeed."

As if to fulfill Tao Qian's desire.

His thought hadn't even faded when the Demon Suppression Heavenly King Li Jing suddenly clasped his fists to salute and invitingly said:

"What Daoist Taixu said is of great importance, not something Li Jing alone can shoulder."

"I wonder if my Daoist friend would be willing to accompany Li Jing to the Jade Capital Golden Palace, where the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Primordial Sect are awaiting in the palace; once they verify this matter, they are sure to lend a hand, saving the realm's beings from this poisonous evil."

"Great compassion!"

Almost immediately, the Taixu True Master played by Tao Buddha's son replied.
