Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1138 - 709: The Ten Thousand Qi Dharma Body Feeds the Evil Dragon, Tao Qian Adds Ingredients as the Fisherman

"After devouring the rotting flesh of countless Evil God corpses, I managed to survive by chance and gained some Divine Skills."

"However, my body is already saturated with costs manifold. How could this compare to the unprecedented Human Clan's first volume of the Great Lifebook Scripture, the 'Ten Thousand Qi Great Method'?"

"Hahaha... Minister, you are too modest. I've heard that you single-handedly took on two opponents, easily subduing the brothers Eating Yin and Eating Corpse, and even cultivated a skill in [Foreknowledge Divine Skill]. Although you are only in the Daoist Transformation Realm, you clearly possess the ability of a Tribulation Immortal. It seems my decision to appoint you as [Taichang] was a wise one."

"Come, come, Minister, step forward. Using the All Techniques you have obtained from the Source Swamp, or perhaps that Foreknowledge technique, take a look for me and see when my [Ten Thousand Qi Golden Body] will be completed?"

"The moment this Dharma Body is complete will be the day my Immortal Qin army marches forth, sweeping across the Eight Desolations and Six Directions."

Amidst hearty laughter, Tao Qian saw the Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon stretching out its hand to beckon him forward.

Just by observing the facial expressions and listening to these few words, deliberately ignoring how it previously laughed wickedly and devoured a Female Demon God, the sticky flesh and blood underfoot, the mouths covering the walls, and the forest-like thick black hair... disregarding all these unsettling images, perhaps one could still consider this as an image of harmony between monarch and minister.

Tao Qian immersed himself in his role, walking forward with a smile.

He was then caught warmly by the Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon. In its other hand, it still held the remnants of the [Queen of Ten Thousand Demons], walking together towards the depths of the inner hall.

There, a gigantic pool of flesh awaited.

Approaching it, the Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon casually tossed the queen's remains inside.

The next sight that appeared before Tao Qian's eyes, even for him, Lord Suppressing Evil, was enough to make him involuntarily take a deep breath.

Filth?

No, something far more horrifying.

What came into view was endless churning flesh, countless fierce tusks, wriggling large and small intestines, various mutated and impure organs, all forming an ocean that bore the blood of God Demons from every Source Qi... of course, such a pool of flesh could never truly contain it all.

In reality, the pool of flesh that Tao Qian saw was just a small "window" that could not possibly get any smaller.

It was one of the mouths of the Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon, used for feeding.

Its true form was actually beneath Apang Palace, occupying an entire... no? Far more than just one world's worth, its vastness extending beyond the reach of his current gaze and Divine Thought.

Compared to the Tarnished Compassion Golden Body obtained by the Buddha's Son Body, it seemed laughably childish.

Due to their contact, a sudden burst of Record erupted in Tao Qian's mind, allowing him to finally witness how the "Source Sea Yellow Robe" cultivated the most powerful Evil Dragon that could devour the Source Sea of all gods.

[Name: Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon.]

[Record Type: Evil God.]

[Record: In pursuit of Longevity, the Ancestor Dragon's Heart Soul became corrupted and completely fell into demonic ways. Yet, despite the cultivation of various techniques, it struggled to achieve Dao, barely keeping itself Undying even at the cost of its own descendants, unable to advance to the Realm of Tribulation Immortal. Eventually, it was chosen by the "Source Sea Yellow Robe", who deliberately arranged for the Ancestor Dragon to stumble upon Blessing and receive the Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor's Human Clan's first God legacy, thus embarking on the path of "devouring Evil Gods and refining Ten Thousand Qi".]

[Annotation One: The Ten Thousand Qi Great Method inherently connects to the chaotic path, yet under the Yellow Robe's distortion, the Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon did not comprehend the mysteries of Qi, focusing solely on devouring Evil Gods to forge an unprecedented "Ten Thousand Qi Dharma Body."]

[Annotation Two: To accommodate this supreme Dharma Body, the Ancestor Dragon slaughtered and hollowed out no fewer than ten worlds, fusing them into one, embedding the Dharma Body within, leaving only an aperture, with Apang Palace erected atop, hoping that when the Dharma Body achieves Great Success, it can devour all gods and demons under the heavens, including the 'Prime Minister'.]

[Annotation Three: The Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon believed it had attained Dao, yet did not realize that it was the one being reared. Whether the devoured Evil Gods or later the Spirit Princess and Human Elixir, all were infused with the "Yellow Seal". With multiple accumulations, its Dharma Body appeared superficially under its control, but the true owner was indeed the Outer Realm Yellow Robe.]

[Annotation Four: The Ancestor Dragon also detected the Prime Minister's ill intentions, but deep in its indulgence of "feeding" and being aware of its strength yet not rivaling the Source Sea Yellow Robe, it chose temporarily to endure silently, while secretly attempting to ally with the Golden Plate God Monarch, the Ten Vicious Beasts of the Great Abyss, and some past veteran ministers to plan a counterattack.]

As these Records unfolded, Tao Qian's vision seemed to pierce through all barriers, subsequently witnessing the scene within the inner world beneath Apang Palace, amidst the endless flesh and blood inner walls.

Beyond the filth and terror, a deeper horror emerged.

The reason?

The Yellow Seal!

Tao Qian had previously sensed and rejected the Yellow Seal, but within the Ancestor Dragon's belly, it had already fully manifested.

Transforming into large "yellow cysts" the size of a baby's head, scattered throughout its body.

Within the cysts, countless parasitic strange insects were unmistakably coiled.

A human head with an insect's body, adorned with a sinister yellow robe.

The sight of this scene made even Tao Qian feel a shiver down his spine.

At the same time, he felt immense admiration and dread towards the "Source Sea Yellow Robe," realizing that in the matter of poisoning and scheming, this Yellow Robed Chancellor was indeed a progenitor level existence.

Just how early and cunningly must one have laid their plans, to fill the belly of the Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon with countless yellow robes?

Tao Qian silently compared the secrets he gleaned from Huang Xiang and the Ancestor Dragon, then shook his head in thought:

"There's no saving this!"

"Even if I were foolish enough to try, it would be impossible to save."

"Not just me, even if the [Heavenly Consort] were truly willing to be devoured by the Ancestor Dragon, it would still be impossible to save."

"Of course, the Yellow Robe wouldn't allow it."

"To let the Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon eat both the Evil God and the Spiritual Creatures would indeed resolve the cost; if the Ancestor Dragon truly could devour enough 'Heavenly Dao Spirit Mechanisms,' there's a chance it could awake from the Yellow Robe's manipulations, yet while its perverse and fierce nature couldn't be salvaged, it could come to know of the Yellow Robe's schemes."

"Would the Yellow Robe allow such a thing?"

"Speaking of which, the sudden actions of the Heavenly Consort and I have completely disrupted the plans of the Source Sea Yellow Robe."

"If I'm not mistaken, before that wedding began, the Yellow Robe would have activated all Yellow Seals to prematurely commence the creation of the [Source Sea's Strongest Evil Dragon]."

"Though it would have appeared earlier than planned, it wouldn't matter much; at that time, as long as it used the Yellow Seal to ignite the Ancestor Dragon's internal Ten Thousand Qi, the emitted Exotic Fragrance would spread across the entire Great Abyss, inevitably attracting all the Evil God's descendants scattered across the All Heavens by the [Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor], and devour them all in one bite, and the Ten Thousand Qi Dharma Body would immediately be completed."

"Tsk tsk, how fierce indeed, in Yellow Robe's mind, the Ten Thousand Qi Dharma Body after completion could battle even [Yuanshi Tianzun], an innate god and demon, and if joined by the Yellow Robe, they might even defeat and devour it, though it remains uncertain if this is mere boasting."

...

Just as various thoughts were Flashing through Tao Qian's mind, he was prompted again by the Ancestor Dragon's voice.

"Minister! Minister Lu!"

"Are you frightened? Don't panic, this is my true form, still in cultivation, needing plenty of meals to reach Great Success."

"Use your foreknowledge technique to divine for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Tao Qian was not Lu Sheng, yet he surpassed Lu Sheng.

Flattery and sycophancy, these means were played exceedingly well by Lord Tao when in character.

Feigning skillful divination, he then spoke auspicious words, managing to delight the Fallen Demon Ancestor Dragon greatly, who, in the envious gaze of the nearby eunuch "Zhao Gao," repeatedly bestowed generous rewards upon Tao Qian.

The sovereign and his minister conversed reminiscently for several hours until the Ancestor Dragon again became "voracious," then they parted ways.

Just before leaving, Tao Qian happened to see the Ancestor Dragon feeding once more.

Among the imperial delicacies, besides another descendant of the Evil God spawned by the Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor, there was also the [Physical God Embryo] Tao Qian had earlier offered in the hall, seemingly used as a side dish, consumed together as it entered the boundless, fleshy Purgatory depths.

Seeing this, a joyful smile appeared in Tao Qian's eyes, while he thought to himself:

"Indeed, in terms of poisoning and scheming, I've encountered a progenitor-level entity."

"But I, Lord Tao, am not weak either."

"I've integrated nearly half of the [Suppressing Evil Dao Qi] within me into a Fu Ling Divine Spell, hidden within that embryo."

"When the time is right, as the Ancestor Dragon and Yellow Robe contend, I shall step in to enlighten and subdue."

"I once thought this would surely be a disaster claiming my life, but now it seems it might not be so dire."
