Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 95 - 90: Sunv Replenishes the Prime, Vajra Soul Destruction

Above the unobstructed secret acupoint platform, Tao Qian's primordial spirit sat upright, cradling the innate Dao seed in his arms, a spitting image of a true Daoist practitioner.

To the outer-realm heavenly demons, he appeared as a primo furnace, enough to make countless demons weep with craving.

The last time he baited demons, Tao Qian simultaneously cultivated and waited for the fish to swim into the net.

But this time, Tao Qian was determined to be more cautious. With a different cultivation realm, the level of demons he came in contact with during cross-dimensional interaction also varied.

During the Energy-Introducing Realm, he mostly attracted inferior demons with little other than their innate tricks and not a shred of divine skills, completely at Tao Qian's mercy to be molded or squashed.

Now, as a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, Tao Qian contemplated that if he baited again, he might attract some slightly higher-level demons.

Fortunately, in addition to the "Secret Demon Refining God Skill," Tao Qian's soul was extraordinary too, completely exempting him from the costs of heavenly demon invasions. So, this bad habit of fishing might as well stick.

The Innate Dao Seed truly deserved its reputation as a highly coveted talent for genuine Daoist disciples.

The fragrance was refreshing and delightful, holding a hint of the mysterious Dao rhyme. Coupled with the aura of immortal spirit emanating from Tao Qian himself, it was like laying out a pair of irresistibly tempting feasts for any demon that detected it.

Even though many demons possessed far greater wisdom than those inferior demons.

But demons were still demons, adept at manipulating mortal desires, yet unable to resist their own.

Time began to pass.

On the surface, the spirit platform was clear and tranquil, showing no abnormalities.

However, Tao Qian, appearing to meditate, had been silently counting from the bottom of his heart since fifteen minutes ago:

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

...

These numbers were clearly an indication of the quantity of demons that had taken the bait.

As Tao Qian silently counted, he also sensed the surroundings.

Based on the intensity and direction of the pulsations, he assessed how many and how strong the fish caught in the net were.

As he had anticipated, the demons attracted by his "Qi Refining Realm" level of cultivation were much stronger and more cunning than the last time.

Even though Tao Qian had counted up to "ten," those demons lurking in the spirit platform had remained concealed, none jumping out to seize his body.

Until a certain moment, just when Tao Qian's own patience was nearly exhausted, a new fish swam over without any concealment or disguise, arriving directly inside the spirit platform.

Tao Qian opened his eyes to see flowers blooming in profusion, surrounded by the sounds of immortal music. Dozens of heavenly girls and strongmen encircled a richly adorned and precious covered incense carriage, arriving through the sky. On it, a dark-skinned bewitching witch lay indolently, scantily dressed, with golden bracelets on her wrists and ankles, and a pair of horns on her head.

Such an entourage reminded Tao Qian of the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva.

Seeing Tao Qian's surprised look, the witch on the carriage stretched out boldly, looked around Tao Qian's clear platform, and with a voice slightly hoarse but more enchanting, said, "Little Daoist, your mental cultivation is not bad, eh? An empty spirit platform, pure and clear, without a single speck of dust—it looks quite comfortable."

"You needn't be nervous. I am the daughter of the Red Star Demon Lord from the Outer Realm. According to the customs of your mortal world, you can call me Jin Ling'er."

"Princess here enjoys forming bonds with mortal cultivators like you, especially a handsome little Daoist like you. Come, accompany me to the Red Star Demon Realm. If you read more Daoist and Buddhist scriptures, you'll know—there are lots of benefits."

While speaking, the witch stepped down from the carriage.

Like a sprightly elf, innocent and lively, she ran towards Tao Qian.

Her suggestion did indeed remind Tao Qian of stories Lin Xiaohua had told him.

Trillions of outer-realm demons, most of them fierce and terrifying, but some exceptionally wise beings, did not seize cultivators' bodies but instead made alliances with them.

Indeed, many cultivators during meditation had accidentally established contacts with some "big shots" from the Outer Realm, like being invited to tour someone's Demon Realm, and then being endowed with an abundance of divine powers, outer-realm strange objects, and mysterious magical treasures.

To some extent, this was also considered a stroke of luck, a kind of serendipitous encounter.

Was that what Tao Qian had come across now?

Looking at Jin Ling'er, the Demon Lord's daughter by his side, trying to take his hand,

Tao Qian, who had altered his appearance to that of a handsome young Daoist, showed a shy smile. After successfully holding hands, he refused, saying, "I can't, I can't. My Master warned me that outer demons are the most skilled at changes, bewitching hearts and minds. One must never trust them too easily. Moreover, you are clearly a charming heart demon, so how can you claim to be Jin Ling'er?"

Perhaps because Tao Qian's tone had shifted too suddenly, revealing the truth so abruptly,

The female demon that made contact with his primordial spirit and was about to seize his body was momentarily stunned.

Unfortunately for her, that moment spelled her doom.

As Tao Qian spoke, his other hand had already formed the Secret Demon Refining God Seal and landed a blow on the forehead of the female demon.

Boom!

It was as if a storm had suddenly swept through.

The blossoming flowers, the immortal music, the heavenly girls, the covered incense carriage... all dissipated cleanly.

The so-called Demon Lord's daughter who was holding Tao Qian, her alluring shell vanished without a trace, replaced by a naked, hunchbacked old figure with sparse hair, skin like ancient pine, no mouth or nose, and a single great eye on her face.

Her existence was incredibly brief; recognized and struck with the Dharma Seal, with a wail in an instant she turned into a black and red orb of light.
