Chapter 579: Chapter 383: Life Protection Secret Spell, Tao Qian Fishing for Toads

Adjacent to the New Moon, there is a large province known as "Tiannan."

Tao Qian once made a brief stop within this province’s territory, where in Gao Ren City he obtained the Ancestor God Strange Treasure Valley God Gui, and thus he learned that the province was already completely under the control of the Gao Family.

Regarding the Gao Family, there is a widely known fact, not just a rumor, that "the Gao Family Clan are all beasts." From Tao Qian’s personal experience, this saying is actually an understatement.

Tiannan Province is one of the largest provinces within the Northern Land’s territory, bordering three other provinces apart from New Moon: Hanxi, Qiantang, and Qilu.

With such a large province under the control of the Beast Clan, one can only imagine how chaotic and terrifying it would be within the province.

Once Tao Qian’s whereabouts were exposed in Shangyang City, numerous experts rushed to kill him.

Despite using a variety of means to escape at the first opportunity, and having the Yu Ding to conceal everything,

the pursuers were still people like the two weird alchemists, Lingwa, the Great Freedom Monk, Xiu Zhonglin, and Zhuge Qingyi, who were all powerful Evil Demons. Each was a dominant force on their own, so how could they easily give up?

The paths back to Penglai Sea were almost entirely blocked by Tao Qian.

Numerous nets and traps had been laid out, waiting for him to blunder into them.

Who would have expected that Master Tao, concerned about his seclusion and eager for treasure, would mistakenly go to the opposite direction to Tiannan Province?

By chance, he avoided nearly all the traps.

Even the highly threatening Gao family did not deliberately search and monitor Tiannan due to an "overlooked corner", providing Tao Qian an opportunity to act.

...

Tiannan, Guangping City, this city just happens to be located at the junction of the Tiannan, Hanxi, and Qiantang provinces.

Since ancient times, it has been a bustling place with a population of millions in the city, surrounded by five counties and thirteen towns.

Although the Gao family treated Mortals like beasts, not as humans, but as livestock to be raised for food, free𝑤ebnovel.com

there seemed to be an expert behind the scenes, who had managed to bring many Divine Power Skills and Treasure Forbidden Techniques, such as the Life Protection Secret Spell, the Yin Yang Life Extension and Fetus Protection Array, and the Little Desire Sky Sending Sons sweet rain, from either the Outer Realm or the old ancestors of the Gao Family, which made the population of Tiannan Province not decrease but increase.

If one only looked at the increase, they might assume that Tiannan Province was a good place.

That the ruler was governing the province well.

Who could imagine?

That the Gao family were applying Transcendent Secret Techniques, treating the Human Clan like pigs, clouding their minds and disrupting the balance of yin and yang.

The most severe place was the Tiannan Province’s capital Baiye, which was not only covered by that Yin Yang Life Extension and Fetus Protection Array but was also under the constant fall of the Little Desire Sky Sending Sons sweet rain.

The villagers rarely got a chance to step outside their doors and could only keep behaving in a certain manner, giving birth to offspring.

In other places, childbirth for women was like a journey through the Ghost Gate, but in Baiye’s territory, with that elaborate Fetus Protection Array built using a great amount of treasure materials, even death during childbirth was impossible.

Guangping City!

Perhaps because it is located at the junction of three provinces, the Gao family did not set up excessive arrangements, making this place somewhat more normal.

But that’s also just a bit better, with Evil Demons commonplace over the territory.

Five hundred miles outside the city, there is a scenic mountain named Immortal Crane Mountain.

In the mountain, there is a temple inhabited by a group of Evil Magicians.

The leader among them is known as Wutong Master.

These creatures wearing human skins would normally guard the Spiritual Mountain, absorbing the moonlight for cultivation. Whenever desires arose, they would go down the mountain to rob traders and Mortals, either devouring them or committing vile acts by force.

That day, a strange change occurred in the mountain.

One saw the thick clouds in the sky shatter, and a dazzling Divine Light descended.

The howling sound echoed throughout Immortal Crane Mountain.

After falling into a Hidden Valley within the mountain, the Divine Light suddenly vanished.

But the noise had already alarmed all the Evil Demons on the mountain, including the Evil Demons chief of Wutong Temple, Wutong Master.

Deep within that temple stood a magnificent, incomparable White Jade Tower.

Every flawless jade brick of this tower radiated treasure light, and the air was filled with a peaceful jade mist, making those inside feel as if they were sitting in the middle of the Immortal Realm, utterly comfortable and at Peace.

On the left and right sides, there were a couplet that read, "To recognize my true face, look to the toads in Guanghan Palace."

At the top of the tower sat a Daoist, deeply engrossed in Qi Refinement.

This Daoist of mysterious origins was extremely ugly, with a big mouth, short nose, long eyes—truly like a toad that had become a spirit monster.

However, his attire was flamboyant; he wore a gorgeous Purple Gold Crown and a Cloud Pattern Moon White Robe.

If one didn’t look at his face, they might think he was a Daoist True Practitioner, rather than realizing that this was the infamous Wutong Master, guilty of countless crimes and numerous evils.

As he was refining his qi, he opened his eyes during a rest interval, just in time to witness the Divine Light falling onto his mountain.

He was momentarily stunned, then his face lit up with ecstasy.

Pretending to calculate with a gesture, he immediately said,

"A treasure has descended from heaven?"

"Yes, it must be so. That kind of dazzling Divine Light is likely an Exotic Treasure from beyond the heavens."

"Extremely delightful, extremely delightful. Although I have benefitted every day since obtaining the Nine Toad Bead, and my luck and opportunities have greatly improved, I’ve not yet stumbled upon any real treasures, only being fooled with ginseng and polygonatum or jade and Gold mines."

"This time, at last, the real treasure has arrived."

Wutong Master stood up in great joy, without even pausing to think, and followed the sense of qi directly to where the Divine Light landed.

Although he was the master of this Spiritual Mountain, and had many Evil Demons and Devils gathered under his command,

he knew that these Devils were not to be trusted.

If someone were to pick up the treasure first and then escape, it would be terrible.

Even if they didn’t flee, just taking the treasure and hiding it in the nearby Guangping City to present to the Gao family would be troublesome.

What followed in Immortal Crane Mountain was fairly similar to what Wutong Master had imagined in his heart.
