Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1136 - 708: Yellow Robe’s Mark, Tao Qian Peeks at Secrets

"What vile filth is this, wretch, that you have spewed forth?"

"It seems to be a turbid liquid concocted from the impurities within many Evil Gods, mixed with Nightmare Energy, the myriad poisons of All Heavens, and more. Even a single drop could damage our Taoist Body."

"Lu Daoist, where exactly did you come from?"

"Human Clan successor, did you happen upon fortune in the Source Swamp and manage to escape?"

The final remark came from the Source Sea Yellow Robe.

At this moment, this God Demon no longer maintained the lofty overlooking posture of before, and under the unsettling thick yellow hood came a probing gaze.

Moreover, it was extremely perilous.

Obviously, if Tao Qian did not provide a reasonable explanation, He would strike him down mercilessly.

Tao Qian knew the wisdom of ceasing when the situation warranted, and promptly feigned weakness, even retching up several liters of blood, as his Taoist Body started to show signs of decay. Then, with a face full of apology, he bowed to all his colleagues, as well as the foremost Ancestor Dragon and Huang Xiang:

"Indeed!"

"Lu Sheng indeed found some fortune within the Source Swamp and became a Daoist Lord. However, the cost was not small, perhaps due to excessive consumption... I've been left with this hidden ailment, which relapses often, causing me to spew this filthy Dao liquid."

"Earlier, I was agitated, hence accidentally defiled Chancellor's 'Lake of Qi,' and I hope Chancellor will be generous and not blame this official."

With just a few words, a vast amount of information was conveyed.

Immediately, including the two brothers present, all guessed how this person attained the Dao, and why he was so bizarrely powerful.

Turns out, he accidentally stumbled into the Source Swamp and survived by relying on eating the decaying flesh of Evil God Corpses to attain the Dao.

This explanation!

Also, it reasonably accounted for why this person could resist the malice of All Gods and Demons earlier, daring to challenge "Huang Xiang," enter the Evil Lake, withstand the bestowed Secret Skill, and prevent the "Yellow Seal" from being planted within him.

Such a mere Daoist Transformation has disrupted many Tribulation Immortals and even the Innate Gods and Demons like the Source Sea Yellow Robe, causing them to lose face.

"Tsk tsk! What a Lu Sheng, to have such a background."

"Brother Lu has such dogshit luck. I should transfer my [Eating Corpse General] title to him. I merely eat some Immortals and Buddhas' corpses, but he devoured the ferocious decaying flesh of Evil Gods from the Source Swamp and survived. Eating those things would cause me to die instantly."

"No wonder the Chancellor's [Yellow Seal] couldn't be planted; this person seems normal on the outside, but surely many Evil Gods have defiled him beyond redemption."

"Defiled by too many Evil Gods, hence he fears us not? So, is this how All Techniques are Unstained? Bah!"

...

Amidst these flickering thoughts of the Gods and Demons, the Yellow Robed Chancellor at the top slowly spoke:

"Hmph!"

"You, human clan successor, have exceptional fortune indeed." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Yet since you've become an official of Immortal Qin and an old slave to the Emperor, how could I blame you?"

"Serve the Emperor well henceforth, and you will someday attest to the Tribulation Immortal."

"If there's nothing else, let the court adjourn."

Knowing that the Lu Sheng before him was essentially a Daoist Corpse filled with Evil Gods' decaying flesh, the Source Sea Yellow Robe no longer contested with him.

However, recalling the previous "offense" of the Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon, he took the opportunity to assert his dominance.

The Ancestor Dragon, who had been disgraced, remained radiant behind the crown's bead curtain, seemingly unfazed.

As the ministers adjourned, He nodded towards an Eunuch Slave beside him, despite wearing a yellow robe, clearly a member of the Human Clan.

Thus, as Tao Qian, pretending to be Lu Sheng, departed the Divine Temple, but had not yet exited Apang Palace's Inner Sect, the Eunuch Slave named [Zhao Gao] halted Tao Qian, stating that the Emperor requested a conversation with this old minister.

Tao Qian naturally showed a look of joy and followed along.

As he walked, he observed the many Secrets seen from the Source Sea Yellow Robe.

After a few quick glances, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock and admiration:

"What an extraordinary Source Sea Yellow Robe, truly an insane God Master disliked and avoided by all Great Abyss Gods."

"Knowing disaster is imminent, not avoiding it, but rather seeking to use the calamity to annihilate All Gods, leaving only one divine transcendence."
