Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1125 - 703: Arrival of the Heavenly Consort, Plotting to Assassinate the Ancestor Dragon

The thought flashed, and Tao Qian's face showed no difficulty.

Deep within his soul, he pondered how to rescue Aunt Yunhua and Senior Sister Lingji from the clutches of Ancestor Dragon and the Outer Realm Yellow Robe.

It was at this time that the [Ten Thousand Clouds Divine Robe] he had taken out suddenly burst into radiant light, and from it emerged a graceful and magnificent female fairy, crowned and clad in cloud robes, holding a ruyi, with eyes full of compassion.

Tao Qian now capable of fighting the "Tribulation Immortal," was the Lord Suppressing Evil, and ordinary gods and demons could not withstand his gaze.

Yet the female fairy before him was momentarily beyond Tao Qian's discernment.

No need to say, the newcomer was the Acquired God Demon [Heavenly Consort].

This senior female fairy had a good relationship with the Daoists, and she counted as a mentor in some respects.

Tao Qian hurriedly bowed and said:

"Junior Tao Qian, has met Heavenly Consort."

"Lord Suppressing Evil, there's no need for such courtesy, even though this is our first meeting. I've heard a lot about you; Lingbao Tianzun, His Greatness, and Sister Doumu Yuanjun have praised you immensely, often boasting, which is why I've entrusted you with the opportunity to break the predicament, and specially gifted you the [Ten Thousand Clouds Divine Robe]."

At this point, a trace of helplessness appeared on Heavenly Consort's face.

Pausing for a moment, she continued:

"Originally, I used the secret technique Taishang Profound Divine Skill to calculate that in the future, a 'Evil God' would entangle causally with you, me, and Yunhua and her disciple, resulting in calamity."

"Therefore, I gave you the Ten Thousand Clouds Divine Robe in advance to help you save that master and disciple pair, breaking the predicament and eliminating the karmic debt."

"Who knew later the Heavenly Mechanism evolved, all fates turned chaotic, not only did you prematurely enter such a realm, but the Evil God also leaped into the Realm of Tribulation Immortal, furthermore gathering the Outer Realm Yellow Robe, the Ten Vicious Beasts of the Great Abyss, and dozens of Evil Gods, thereby rendering the original plan unusable."

"I have appeared now, wanting to discuss with you how to solve this calamity."

Upon hearing this, Tao Qian's face could not help but reveal an astonished expression.

Though Heavenly Consort was merely an Acquired God Demon and was rumored not to excel in battle, she was ultimately in the Tribulation Immortal Realm. Could she not escape the Ancestor Dragon and Outer Realm Yellow Robe?

It was rumored Heavenly Consort had the best relations with the lineage of [Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad]. When calamity struck, she could directly hide in the Old Lord Palace; who could do anything about it?

But quickly, Tao Qian understood: Heavenly Consort was the Acquired God Demon with the "best reputation" in the Great Abyss, having attained the Dao in the Human Clan form, she would protect the Human Clan at all costs, naturally, she had to pay the greatest price, which was the reason she was not adept at fighting, for all energy was spent on paying the price, leaving no room for cultivating the Divine Passage Skill.

Consort could escape, but countless humans under her protection could not.

Once Heavenly Consort retreated into the Old Lord Palace, Ancestor Dragon in rage, would likely massacre the entire world under her command.

Because of this, Consort had no pretense of a senior expert, hastily came over, not hesitating to lower her dignity to seek help from Tao Qian, a junior.

Seeing his expression change, he must have guessed the reason.

Heavenly Consort couldn't help but smile and praised him:

"No wonder Tianzun and Sister Yuanjun praise you; indeed, you are an anomaly in the cultivation world. This kind of compassionate heart I have seen only with a few, and no one who reached your realm has yet changed their original intention."

"Moreover, Lingbao Tianzun often says you are cunning and sly, even worse than Duobao. But this calamity is indeed tricky; do you have a way to solve it?"

"If you do, I will first thank you on behalf of the millions of Human Clan lives."

Saying this, Heavenly Consort actually intended to bow to him.

Tao Qian was frightened and quickly stopped her; what a joke, she was the Heavenly Consort.

But at this moment, he indeed thought of a way.

Unexpectedly to the Heavenly Consort, a simple and extremely crude way.

Then Tao Qian's eyes suddenly surged with killing intent, bluntly speaking:

"The origin of this calamity is the Ancestor Dragon of Fallen Demon."

"No matter Immortal Qin, how those Evil Gods are, or what plots the Outer Realm Yellow Robe has."

"As long as the Ancestor Dragon perishes mid-course, everything will naturally vanish."

"Therefore, the solution requires no other thought, but assassination."

"You want to assassinate Ancestor Dragon?"

The Heavenly Consort clearly had never considered this angle, and was surprised upon hearing it.

Then she seemed worried that Tao Qian didn't know the current details of the Ancestor Dragon, and quickly added:

"Don't assume that the [Ancestor Dragon] now is still the same as when he was in the Longevity Realm."

"At that time, he was only in the Daoist Transformation Realm, but later he obtained the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor deep within the Source Sea, and devoured thousands of descendants of the Ancestor. Now, not only has he proven the Realm of Tribulation Immortal, but the Daoist power he possesses far exceeds that of other Tribulation Immortals."

"You've also dealt with that evil god in the [Outer Realm Yellow Robe] and know this beast's strength and treachery."

"Yet even he, in a head-on battle, would not be a match for the Ancestor Dragon."

"Although you cultivate all Three Teachings, which likely allows you to survive under ordinary Tribulation Immortal Realm demons, how could you possibly kill the current Ancestor Dragon?"

"Even if you can invite the killing techniques of Lingbao Tianzun, Doumu Yuanjun, and the Toad God and other Daoist elders, Ancestor Dragon still can—it's rumored that the Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor, though he died in the Source Swamp, his corpse remains and could be called forth by Ancestor Dragon, and even a Heavenly Venerate personally coming would gain little advantage."

...

This whole conversation revealed secrets even the Haotian Divine Mirror couldn't perceive.

It was the first time Tao Qian realized that the "Human Ancestor" Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor had actually perished in the Source Swamp.

From the meaning in the Heavenly Consort's words, the strength of this Ancestor seemed no weaker than the Three Divine Lords of the Daoist School?

The first human, terrifying indeed.

Though shocked, Tao Qian did not change his mind, nor did he immediately refute it. He simply pointed a finger at the Ten Thousand Clouds Divine Robe, then said:

"If my guess is correct, your original plan, was to have me replace Aunt Yunhua or Senior Sister Lingji, alter my appearance slightly, wear this [Ten Thousand Clouds Divine Robe] to approach Ancestor Dragon, bewilder his mind, and then seize an opportunity to break through?"

"Precisely so!"

"Now it seems impractical. Those with spiritual brilliance are already seen by Ancestor Dragon as forbidden Spirit Pills, either used or consumed, and he won't be infatuated with anyone. Previously, his tens of thousands of concubines all ended up as dried corpses overnight."

"Even if I wear the [Ten Thousand Clouds Divine Robe], I can't bewilder his mind anymore and will only provoke a commotion, drawing in Outer Realm Yellow Robe and other evil gods, ending up being forcibly made into Human Elixir."

"As for the current plan, it might be better to approach Ancestor Dragon another way."

"By having you, madam, wear the [Ten Thousand Clouds Divine Robe] yourself, actively proclaim a divine decree to Ancestor Dragon, saying that if he is willing to cease fighting and stop collecting concubines and Human Elixirs, you would be willing to marry him."

"With this pretext, he will surely not be suspicious, and the crisis for my Aunt Yunhua and Senior Sister will be resolved in an instant."

"And I can play the role of a fairy in the bridal entourage, accompany you in approaching Ancestor Dragon, and then seize the chance to kill him."

"You need not worry that I cannot kill [Ancestor Dragon]. Even if he is in the Tribulation Immortal Realm, so what? If he were an innate god demon born through eerie means like the Outer Realm Yellow Robe, indeed I couldn't kill him and would have to flee for my life."

"But Ancestor Dragon is an exception."

"Madam, have you heard what my Daoist title is?"

"Ancestor Dragon ascended by 'consuming evil gods,' and is full of Tribulation Immortal evil qi. Once I get close when he is alone and unsupported, his life will undoubtedly be at risk."

Admittedly, Tao Qian's plan was exceedingly straightforward.

The Heavenly Consort's eyes first lit up upon hearing, clearly realizing the significance of Tao Qian's Daoist title, knowing this junior wasn't lying and that he indeed had the power to subdue and slay Ancestor Dragon.

But soon she shook her head, not because she disliked pretending to marry Ancestor Dragon, but because she still felt the plan wouldn't work.

She then spoke, first giving praise, then revealing more secrets:

"Your Daoist title was bestowed by a Heavenly Venerate; I of course believe you can kill the current Evil God Ancestor Dragon!"

"However, there is something you don't know. He ultimately obtained the inheritance of [Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor], this god was the first human in the Great Abyss, and indeed the bloodline progenitor of both you and me."

"Thus, before the Ancestor, all humans cannot hide any foundational secrets, only needing a glance, all the secrets within you will be known to him."

"Ancestor Dragon also inherited this divine skill."

"What? Is there truly such unreasonable thing in this world?"

Upon hearing this secret for the first time, Tao Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling quite displeased.
