Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1083 - 683: Sister-in-Law Recognizes Adoptive Father, Demon Child Ridicules Fellow Disciples

"Now that the great calamity is about to start, how can I, Demon Child, let my fellow disciples wander outside? It is only right to repay kindness and seek them all back."

As these few thoughts emerged, his eyes grew brighter.

In his mind, another sinister plan took shape in a blink:

The All Heavens Buddhism and Primordial Sect both progress smoothly, with both powers expanding rapidly, each preparing to invest massive resources in one fell swoop. As the timing comes within a month, they plan a worldwide attack on Tang... If nothing unexpected occurs, both sides will likely suffer severe setbacks. At that time, a waiting force ought to step forth to reap the fruits of victory.

If it were just Tao Qian alone, no matter how strong, it would be meaningless, especially since by then he would be at most in the Daoist Transformation Realm.

But if it were the entire [Secret Demon Sect], that would be different.

Of course, as a Demon Child from a declining ancestral land, he couldn't possibly have the second-generation ancestors follow him.

A gentler approach was needed.

For example, he could round up all Secret Demon Children inside the Search God Realm, subdue them completely, and have them sign a Heart Demon Contract. In this way, he would have essentially ascended early to the position of Secret Demon Sect Master, making it extremely convenient to issue orders at that time.

Tao Qian pondered these thoughts, and with ideas surging, felt increasingly that it was highly feasible.

"Yes, that's exactly how it should be."

"If I must become the Secret Demon Sect Master, I must use my own strength to subdue all Secret Demon Children, as this is the grand trend, unavoidable."

"However, fighting door to door is indeed too slow, and easily alerts the snakes, allowing half the Secret Demon Children to escape, which would foil my plan."

"Instead, let's simply set up a trap, using spiritual materials for constructing the All Heavens Secret Demon Nest as bait, lure them to one place, and then utilize [Fu Yuan Array] to capture them all at once."

"Myself, Buddha's son, do you see this plan of mine, does it work?"

Tao Master, who was dealing with Dao Nightmare, and Tao Buddha's Child, who was ringing bells and rowing boats, were suddenly called again.

Sensing through thought, realizing the Demon Child body's intentions, this time they had different opinions.

Tao Master was most disdainful, spat: "Those Secret Demon Children are all doing proper work, collecting spiritual materials for nest construction, but you, wretch, are not doing your job. Finally obtained the legacy of Taixuan Feathered Immortal Monarch, now you have some spiritual materials at hand and still intend to refine array stones. Now you further repay kindness with treachery, planning to use those Secret Demon Children to coerce the ancestors, truly cunning and shameless. I wonder who taught you these, to prevent you from fetching water with a bamboo basket, when subduing Demon Children to sign Heart Demon Contracts, besides inviting Ten Thousand Demons to witness, maybe also invite [Toad God] the elder."

Buddha's son body rarely praised: "Illuminate heart and see nature, sacrifice oneself to become demon, save the living beings, the day of attaining Dao is not far away."

Listening to their words, Tao Demon Child didn't reply, only laughed slyly.

Then left a Mystical Pearl Avatar in the temple, and the original Dharma Body, which had been sitting dry for years, immediately started to act.

Among the Secret Demon Children contesting for Sect Master position, three-tenths entered the Search God Realm.

All hidden very well, using various means to collect [spiritual materials for nest construction].

To gather them in one place was truly difficult, no matter knowing their whereabouts and identity on the surface was the same.

Of course, nothing is difficult for Tao Demon Child.

On this day, each Demon Child inexplicably, in different ways, stumbled upon the same opportunity:

"In the border area of the three great nations Zhou, Tang, and Ming, there's a place called [Ten Thousand Wound Abyss]. During the Ten Disasters of Destruction, this place simultaneously suffered from Ten Thousand Wood Marvelous Birth, Ascension Dust, Blessing Rain, and other calamities, not only did life perish, but also mutations occurred, and the earth collapsed into the depths of Earth Orifice, spontaneously forming an abyss."

"Inside, there is no life, and Daoist Transformation Realm experts entering will also meet death if not careful."

"Yet recently, a secret path appeared within the abyss, leading to the deepest Earth Orifice, below is a secret realm space, which astonishingly contains various Chaos Spiritual Materials that emerged at the inception of the Search God Realm."

...

The so-called opportunity, the so-called secret path, naturally one for each person, all are untouchable to each other.

The secret realm space at the very bottom of the abyss was not created in ancient chaos, but freshly out within 24 hours.

Thus!

Under the exquisite control of Divination Worm.

One by one Secret Demon Children came from afar, cautiously passing through the secret path.

Almost at the same time, they stepped into the newly born secret realm space.

Perhaps coincidentally, or perhaps due to Tao Demon Child's mischievousness.

The first to arrive and meet was surprisingly Cang Si Demon Lord.

He had resumed the savage appearance of a bull-headed human body, wielding the Profound Sky Demon Banner and Infinite Slaying Immortal Halberd treasures, and leading that [Princess Tuluo]. The couple seemed to be travelling and playing, as the Demon Light flickered, entering the secret realm.

Originally thought to be able to see the scenes of chaos, and see spiritual materials everywhere.

But who would have guessed that what lay before them was an endlessly vast land, devoid of any spiritual materials.

What there was, however, was an acquaintance: a fair-faced member of the Human Clan wielding the Sword Tooth Evil Slayer Sword.

"Ancestor Land Demon Son!"

The couple simultaneously exclaimed in surprise and then shouted angrily.

"You conniving little thief, how dare you show yourself before me again?"

"Shameless Ancestor Land Demon Son, I must kill you."

No one knows what kind of serendipitous benefit they obtained in the Search God Realm, clearly having suffered a big loss at Tao Qian's hands last time, yet now they dare to speak harshly upon meeting.

Princess Tuluo's voice was filled with shameful annoyance and resentment, while Cang Si Demon Lord was brimming with killing intent.

Upon hearing this, Tao Qian was not at all annoyed.

He merely waved his hand and smiled, saying:

"Brother Cang Si and sister-in-law, don't rush."

"This time, it wasn't just you two that I invited with my scheme. To avoid wasting words, we'll wait until the others arrive to speak."

These words immediately caused both of them to display a look of surprise and suspicion.

At the same time, Tao Qian's expression of cunning and deceitfulness stirred unpleasant memories within Princess Tuluo.

Ever since a confrontation years ago, somehow, this shameless little thief before her became her nightmare.

Even though she obtained a fortuitous encounter in the Search God Realm: Unexpectedly meeting an Innate God Demon known as the [Purple Cloud Heavenly Emperor], who, possibly due to a favorable impression, adopted her as his foster daughter and gave her the honorific title of [Princess Taiyin Treasure Fan], granting her an extremely powerful backing.

With this backing, she should have no fear of Tao Qian.

Yet upon meeting again, she still couldn't restrain the sense of panic and fear in her heart, her shout merely an act of feigned composure.

Thus, upon hearing Tao Qian's words full of calculation, sister-in-law hurriedly transmitted a voice to Cang Si Demon Lord:

"Husband!"

"This conniving little thief dares to lure us here alone, claiming it wasn't just you and me, but also that he's brought other Secret Demon Children here. I'm afraid of some dirty trick."

"This realm is dangerous, no one knows what strange methods he might have obtained, it's better to retreat first to avoid falling into a trap."

"Bah, what's there to fear from that fair face? Not to mention you have your foster father's support, I, Cang Si, now also have my own backing. By pretending to be a Taishang Dao disciple, I accidentally stumbled upon a scroll of the 'Taishang Dao Fragmented Scripture,' attested by both, I've finally refined that [Taishang Infinite Cangsi Divine Body]. Once I unleash it, one punch is enough to crush that fair face into pulp."

"You were previously fooled by this rascal, almost becoming your Heart Demon, this is a perfect opportunity to kill him for good, and avoid future troubles."

"Husband, don't..."

At precisely the moment this couple was arguing via transmitted voices.

In this crust space, magic lights began to flicker incessantly.

In the blink of an eye, demon Qi surged, and several 'Secret Demon Children' far stronger than before years ago appeared.

Including Changhen Demon Child, Five Defilements Demon Child, Original Sin Demon Child, White Bone Demon Child... and all renowned, most promising Secret Demon Children to ascend to Sect Master, all came.

None present were fools.

The moment stepping into the Secret Realm and seeing this pauper Tao Qian, they all realized they had been tricked.

Out of caution, almost half of the Demon Children immediately turned to flee.

A small half decided not to act.

The remaining ones, just like Cang Si Demon Lord, harbored endless killing intent against Tao Qian.

With cold snorts and shouts, they tacitly approached to kill Tao Qian.

Tao Buddha's son saw this, but instead of fearing, he laughed.

Then he swept with his Dharma Eye, confirmed that all the Secret Demon Children had been lured here, and without any prelude, directly broke the facade.

Loudly laughing, he unceremoniously issued a taunt to all the Secret Demon Children present:

"Since all of you brothers are here, none can escape."

"If you want to survive this time, each of you must bow your heads to me, respectfully call 'Sect Master,' and only then."
