Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1075 - 679: Aid from the Heavenly Venerate, Golden Immortal in the Trap (Part 2)
At the very first glance, Tao Qian guessed the identity of this Golden Immortal.
"The leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, the ancient Immortal Monarch Guang Chengzi, also known as [Lord Xuanweiheguang]."
"A powerful figure who attained the Daoist Transformation Realm several thousand years ago, leaving behind Guang Chengzi's lineage in all heavens and realms; he even taught one of the 'Ancient Three Saint Emperors' in the Longevity Realm."
"An evil person, absolutely an evil person."
Although Tao Qian knew himself to be a junior and should not be overly presumptuous.
However, he came with a mission this time, and his identity was that of a Primordial Remnant Cultivator, thus there could be no sign of timidity.
Therefore, after observing Guang Chengzi, Tao Qian also straightforwardly glanced over the remaining eleven Golden Immortals, including Taiyi Rescue Suffering Immortal Monarch, Taihua Red Essence Immortal Monarch, Qingxu Dao De Master, Compassionate Travel Immortal Monarch, and others, missing none.
After examining them carefully, the body, Demon Child Body, and Buddha's Son Body all sighed.
The Buddha's Son Body, being the most sincere, simply praised: "Worthy of the Primordial's direct lineage, Twelve Golden Immortals, the reputation is well-deserved."
The body compared the Twelve Golden Immortals with his own elders: "All are high achievers in the Dao, but when sensed, only a few among the twelve have mana surpassing [Master Ma Yi], none exceed the Sect Master, and when Duobao my master rebuilds, he too should surpass them."
As for the Demon Child Body, he feigned: "If it's just an avatar or projection, I, the Demon Child, could unleash the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss Array and wield the Evil-slaying Sword to kill them all... but if their true bodies came, hmm, not a single one could I defeat."
Feigning aside, serious matters couldn't be delayed.
Tao Buddha's son generously looked at the Twelve Golden Immortals while remembering his manners, directly performing an ancient ritual of the Search God Realm, and then said: "I, Taixu, greet the Primordial fellow Daoists."
When performing this ritual, Tao Buddha's son did not withhold, directly revealing the mixed and integrated Daoist charm on his body.
One type, naturally, was the Qi charm of the Primordial Dao Fruit.
The other was an ancient charm of the Search God realm, acquired in secret from [Taixuan Feathered Immortal Monarch].
The combination of both made up his impeccable identity as a Primordial Remnant Cultivator.
Indeed, as the Daoist charm emerged, twelve streams of golden light vibrated simultaneously.
Led by "Guang Chengzi", after a moment's hesitation, they solemnly returned the greeting.
In that instant, the Twelve Golden Immortals completed a mental exchange, evidently in wonder and doubt, as within this crumbling Search God Realm, there truly existed a Primordial Remnant Cultivator of such profound Dao skills.
Originally, this wouldn't surprise the Twelve Golden Immortals; although the Primordial Sect didn't recruit disciples as freely as the Spirit Treasure Sect, it wasn't entirely impenetrable, nor did it guard its Daoist skills and divine powers completely, leading to many Great Book remnants falling into all heavens and realms over the years, available to those destined to find them for cultivation.
But the Taixu Daoist before them was quite different.
Observing the Primordial Daoist charm emanating from him, the Great Book he practiced must be the untransmitted secret of the Primordial Sect.
Having greeted, now within the Jade Capital Golden Palace.
The Twelve Golden Immortals wouldn't be reserved; Guang Chengzi bluntly asked:
"Daoist Taixu!"
"If I haven't mistaken, the Daoist skill you practice is the 'Primordial Venerable Sage's Scripture of Dao Fruit', this is a secret Great Book of our Primordial Sect, even some direct disciples haven't seen it, let alone practiced it, may I ask from whence you obtained this scripture, and could you tell us plainly?"
This was what Tao Buddha's son had been waiting for from the start.
Upon hearing it, he showed a face full of sincerity, courteously saluting again:
"For the Primordial fellow Daoists to know, I am originally a Qi Refining cultivator within this Search God Realm, by chance favored by the Heavenly Dao, I realized some truths myself and created a 'Taixuan Feather Transformation Scripture'. Yet, due to dull talent, I practiced for hundreds of years without achieving Dao, seeing myself on the brink of death, I helplessly prayed to the Supreme Saint Divine Demon in the dark for an opportunity to attain Dao for life extension."
"After praying, I inexplicably fell asleep, in a daze, my heart and soul seemed to reach a holy place, filled with infinite phenomena, with ten thousand gods feasting, and among them, a [Supreme Saint Divine] discussing profound philosophy. Knowing my chance had come, I dared to step forward and listened for a moment."
"Upon awakening, I gained half a scripture of the Daoist Scripture."
"Inexhaustibly profound, extraordinarily divine, after cultivating it, I achieved Dao overnight, not only possessing today's Taoist power and mana but also harmoniously united with the Heavenly Dao Origin, cultivating two or three extraordinary divine skills."
...
Tao Qian spoke, while the Twelve Golden Immortals simultaneously verified. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
First, they checked if he was a native cultivator of the Search God Realm. This was the simplest task; the twelve Daoists counted on their fingers and immediately knew it to be true, dispelling half of the suspicion in their eyes.
It must be understood that what he grafted over was the Qi of the Taixuan Feathered Immortal Monarch, and nothing could be truer.
When Tao Qian mentioned the "Divine Feast," another half of their suspicion was dispelled.
And in these few moments, after Guang Chengzi connected with his True Self for verification, all doubts were entirely removed.
This Daoist, after pondering, conveyed through sound transmission to the other eleven:
"I initially intended to personally seek out our Master for inquiry, but just a few days ago, he along with our Spirit Treasure Uncle went to the Daoist Field of the Old Lord. Our Longevity senior brother was also taken by the Spirit Treasure Sect Master for alchemy and treasure refinement, so I could only ask White Crane Page, who mentioned there were indeed a few fortuitous ones who had the chance to listen to teachings at the Divine Feast."
"Although the Divine Feast is said to only invite Gods and Demons, there are also some fortuitous individuals who receive the favor of the host and are allowed to join the feast."
"I suppose this Daoist Taixu must be one of them."
When Guang Chengzi finished his transmission, the other eleven Immortal Monarchs silently nodded.
"Thus, it seems this Daoist Taixu indeed has exceptional fortune, having heard teachings from the Master during the Divine Feast, which even we brothers do not have the blessing for."
"He has only cultivated half of the 'Daoist Fruit Mysterious Scripture,' can he be considered one of our companions?"
"Having not entered the sect nor worshipped a Master, he naturally isn't considered."
"Though other Great Book Daoist Scriptures wouldn't count, how could the Daoist Fruit Mysterious Scripture be the same? Even if he isn't recognized as our Primordial disciple, giving him the identity of a Primordial Remnant Cultivator isn't unreasonable."
"Hmph, I acknowledge his deep blessing, but this person is also unknowing. Having cultivated our Primordial Secret Scripture and verified Daoist Transformation, why has he been hiding in the Search God Realm for so many years, never going to the Earth Immortal Realm to pay respects at the Mountain Gate? Does the Daoist Fruit Mysterious Scripture not contain the Primordial Spiritual Guide? Surely his heart harbors fear, not daring to come."
It was evident, although they recognized the identity of Taixu Daoist, there were still several among the Twelve Golden Immortals who found him displeasing.
The reason was rather simple; though they were Daoists, they couldn't escape jealousy.
To personally listen to the Heavenly Venerate teaching the Daoist Fruit Mysterious Scripture... such an opportunity, including Guang Chengzi, none of the Twelve Golden Immortals possessed. Why should it fall upon a "rustic village path"?
But at this moment, Taiyi Rescue Suffering Immortal Monarch spoke a fair word:
"Fellow brothers, do not underestimate this Daoist Taixu."
"Though he is modestly simple, he should actually be a highly insightful Talent Daoist. After all, despite the depletion of this realm's Daoist Lineage, he managed to create the Great Lifebook Scripture by himself, and even received the favor of this realm's Heavenly Dao, which is beyond ordinary beings."
"Don't look at this Daoist who seems unsuited for battle and fighting; perhaps it isn't that he cannot, but rather he does not wish to."
"Since he is exceptional and has already verified Daoist Transformation, accepting his identity adds a powerful ally to our sect, what harm is there?"
"The most critical issue is the All Heavens Buddhism's concealed and subtle plan, which none of us could perceive the slightest trace of, allowing the evil poison to brew for several years until it fully sprouted before seeming somewhat off, yet still unable to know what the Spiritual Mountain Buddhas were scheming behind the scenes."
"Daoist Taixu, alone, relies on vague traces to easily fathom the All Heavens Buddhism's plot. Seeing his manner, perhaps he has even prepared countermeasures, proving how cherished he is by this realm's Heavenly Dao."
"With his assistance, we should be able to thwart the Spiritual Mountain's conspiracy."
"This Search God Realm will also transform into another Daoist Field Bie Fu of our Primordial Sect within the Great Abyss Origin Sea."
"Though it is a Remnant Realm, unable to compare with Longevity, Mountains and Seas, Earth Immortal, etc., a great tribulation is approaching, acquiring such a benefit, how can we overlook it?"
These words from Taiyi Immortal Monarch came down.
Including Guang Chengzi, all Golden Immortals nodded in agreement.
This moment's change in momentum was immediately captured by Tao Qian, and he was greatly delighted, knowing he had successfully navigated the most critical hurdle.
