Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1079 - 681: Daoist, Please Wait—The Zhang Family Seeks the Heavenly Venerate (2)

No escape!

At this moment, regardless of which "Tao Qian."

Whether the original or the avatar.

The same thought arose in their hearts, and that was that these two divine lights could not be avoided.

Even with the current cultivation of the Demon Child body, it was the same.

Tao Qian, upon being enveloped by the divine light, immediately felt an illusion that all his secrets were being seen through, inside out, even from past lives, without a single detail missed, all completely scrutinized.

In his mind, a record burst forth:

[Being eroded by the "Golden Crow Divine Light"...This is an innate divine skill originating from the innate gods and demons who wield the "Sun Yuan Qi" in the Great Abyss, and it can only be cast by a few descendants, including the Red Crow Daoist.]

[This is both a divine art and an alien object, nurtured within the Sun Yuan Qi, like an endless blazing sun, almost capable of illuminating all things in the world.]

[This divine light's status is extremely high and infinitely mysterious, even within the entire Great Abyss Origin Sea, only a few alien divine arts can rival it, such as the Taiyin Divine Light, or the Moon Toad's Eye, and the Divination Worm Silk.]

...

Upon seeing these records, the heavy stone in Tao Demon Child's heart was immediately lifted.

At the same time, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "How coincidental, there are pitifully few alien divine arts in the Great Abyss that can counter the prying of the Golden Crow Divine Light, only two or three kinds, each of them exceedingly rare and hard to find... Fortunately, if I am willing, I can acquire them with some effort, but since I already have the Divination Worm in hand, there's no need to look far."

As this thought settled in his mind, the Red Crow Daoist's probing had already ended.

After verifying the information received with what Guang Chengzi had previously sent, this senior expert couldn't help but nod slightly, and thought inwardly:

"Indeed, he is a person from the Search God Realm, a Qi Refining cultivator who attained enlightenment thousands of years ago."

"Among his divine abilities, apart from the 'Manifested Body' technique that can borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao, the rest are all rather ordinary."

"He has good fortune, being able to hear the lectures of the esteemed Heavenly Venerate."

"Well, since he's half a kindred spirit, I'll offer some help."

After confirming that the Taixu Master was indeed a good person, the Red Crow Daoist's avatar planned to smile, clear up the misunderstanding, and become sworn brothers.

Of course, that's as far as it would go.

After all, the Red Crow Daoist is notoriously proud, and few cultivators can truly catch his eye, even those in the Daoist Transformation Realm.

As for the so-called Taixu Master, he falls far short.

But just before he acted, Tao Qian made the first move.

Tao Demon Child, with a flawless demeanor of a fellow Daoist, eagerly called out:

"Brother Red Crow, please do not misunderstand. This poor Daoist is Taixu Master, entrusted by Brother Guang Chengzi to come here with an important matter to discuss with you."

"The reason for the slight delay, stumbling upon an inopportune moment, was because this poor Daoist performed a small technique in preparation to present a gift."

"Let me inform you, one of the customs of this realm is that when meeting with divine and eminent figures, one must not have empty hands."

"This poor Daoist has always excelled in this way, being courteous and respected, for a thousand years, no gods or demons have been dissatisfied with my offerings. I trust Brother Red Crow will not be disappointed either."

As he said this, the Red Crow Daoist's interest was piqued, and he made up his mind to mock this impoverished Daoist a bit.

Given his cultivation level and status, there was simply no gift that could delight him; the Breaking Realm Daoist was just boasting.

In the next moment, the Red Crow's thoughts were proven wrong.

Suddenly, the Taixu Master, like using an illusion technique, pulled out a large Jade Plate.

On the plate, there were a dozen types of alien insects, both visible and invisible, writhing incessantly.

To ordinary people, this scene would be terrifying.

But in the eyes of the Red Crow Daoist, it was a gathering of supreme delicacies.

Without waiting for Tao Qian to speak, he, like a gourmet who had been starving for years, called out with familiarity: "Five hundred-year-old Yang Sui Worm... a pair of Seven Emotions Worm... freshly refined Ten Thousand Desires Worm... What treasures these are, all rare and exquisite items. Daoist, how did you know my tastes?"

Tao Qian, anticipating his question, directly answered: "This is also the effectiveness of this poor Daoist's 'Manifested Miraculous Skill.' The preferences of life in this realm can be known with a single thought, and though Brother Daoist is an immortal god from the Outer Realm, after being here for more than a day, this divine ability will still know."

When retrieving many alien insects, Tao Qian knew that he easily passed the final hurdle.

After the conversation continued between the two, Tao Qian grew even more cunning.

First, he requested to see the other's treasures, praising their excellent refinement.

Then he inadvertently praised their casually crafted [Red Crow Golden Nest] as being extremely beautiful.

In a trance-like moment, Tao Qian seemed to see above the Red Crow Daoist's head, a vision of increasing favorability repeatedly appearing.

In just a short span of 15 minutes, the two were calling each other brothers, becoming mutual friends.

It can be imagined that once Tao Qian leaves, the Red Crow Daoist, this heavyweight powerhouse, will likely speak a few good words on his behalf in front of Guang Chengzi.

And indeed, that was exactly the case.

Just after parting with him, Tao Buddha's son went to visit the "second person" on the connection list.

The Red Crow Daoist directly communicated with Guang Chengzi through casting, transmitting a praise:

"Daoist Brother Guang Chengzi, rest assured, Daoist Taixu is undoubtedly an outsider hermit with a deep affinity for the Primordial Sect."

"With deep blessings, free and easy nature, with his assistance, great things can be achieved."

...

Unaware of Red Crow's praises afterward,

He is now focusing on the second person on the list, pondering over the related information, and thinking about repeating the trick, by subduing the Red Crow Daoist and developing them into a friend.

The presence listed in the "alliance roster" by Guang Chengzi is undoubtedly extremely powerful, with terrifying roots behind them.

"Zhang Taiqing!"

These three words, upon entering the eyes, instantly attracted the attention of the Demon Body's entity and Tao Qian's original.

"What a coincidence, earlier the clone of my demon self married a daughter from the Xiu Family, and now encounters the Zhang Family."

"Years ago, when the original you experienced the great tribulation of humanity within the Longevity Realm, and interacted with various Daoist Lineages, you had no karma with the powerful cultivation families within the Great Abyss Origin Sea, especially with this [Zhang Family], there seemed to be no interaction back then, but now in this Search God Realm, it must be made up."

"Quickly, utilize the connections of your Daoist Sect's First Heavenly Pride, to find out this [Zhang Taiqing]'s irresistible hobbies and cater to them."

Upon hearing the Demon Body's chatter.

Tao Qian irritably spat at it, then introduced:

"Although the Zhang Family is a renowned cultivation family, among them, only Zhang Taiqing can make Guang Chengzi remember, as he is both the source of the Zhang Family's Daoist Lineage, and an ancestor too."

"He is a disciple of [Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad], considered a peer with the Sect Master, and further calculation makes him our mentor."

"As early as a millennium ago, he had already proven the Daoist Transformation Realm, granted the Evil Extermination Talisman of Taishang Dao, and it's rumored he's been striving for the Tribulation Immortal Realm, but overhearing some gossip from the elders within the sect, though Zhang Taiqing is a First Class Talent in Daoism, it's believed this lifetime lacks the opportunity to realize the Tribulation Immortal."

"As for his hobbies... this predecessor is very upright, somewhat rigid, and not being part of the Spirit Treasure Sect, where could I quickly inquire about his peculiar hobbies?"

"Hmm?"

"It's not entirely impossible to learn, I heard Senior Brother Xu has a great relationship with the direct inheritance of Zhang Family, hence knowing quite a few secrets of the Zhang Family."

"Wait a moment, I'll send a message to ask Senior Brother Xu."

Witnessing the original indeed activating connections, Tao Buddha's son obediently waited in the clouds.

There wasn't much delay, about thirty minutes later.

Tao Qian's mind's message came again, but this time the tone seemed somewhat peculiar:

"Senior Brother Xu, being the modest gentleman he is, despite knowing many secrets of the Zhang Family, finds it improper to disclose them."

"He mentioned only this, recently the Primordial Sect is establishing the [Longevity Immortal Dynasty] within the Longevity Realm, expanding its influence significantly, with numerous Great Abyss Demons and Daoist Immortals going to take refuge."

"Ostensibly belonging to the Taishang Dao, the Zhang Family surprisingly also went to pledge allegiance to Yu Yanshi."

"And it's heard that Zhang Ruyi, the current generation head of the Zhang Family within the Longevity Realm, after defecting to the Primordial Sect, is attempting to request a title for his Daoist Ancestor, aspiring Yu Yanshi to bestow an honorary title of [Zhengyi Taishang Extermination Evil Heavenly Venerable] upon the ancestor."

"Given this, the Zhang Family's pursuit is clear."

"Nothing but power and fame."
