Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 955 - 615: The Demon Child Seeks to Refine the Spirit God Body; The Lustful Great Master

No one knew how long had passed when suddenly divine light surged, and between the heavens and earth, both Guanyin and Tao Lang awoke simultaneously.

Before Tao Qian could say anything, the Female Bodhisattva with the fish basket flipped up, showing both hatred and surprise upon discovering the secret, and said:

"Unexpectedly, you, this little demon, are merely an avatar. The main body is that Daoist prodigy [Lord Suppressing Evil]. Previously, your repeated displays of foreknowledge must be the work of that Spirit Treasure Sky Displaying Skill."

"What's even more unimaginable is that thief Bodhisattva, as one of the Buddhist Great Saints, secretly colluding with your true self in this manner. Could it be, like my true self Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, she also wants to defect from the All Heavens Buddhism?"

"What collusion, how unpleasant to hear. The Great Master just wanted to form a benevolent connection with the true body."

Tao Demon Child laughed heartily, not giving any hint even when facing the fish basket, who had already become his female slave.

Exactly!

The slightly eerie scenes before were, in truth, the Bodhisattva Guanyin communicating from a distance with the real body, Lord Suppressing Evil.

This was naturally to avoid the eyes and ears of the Buddhist Sect and to prevent trouble.

The reason for the Great Master's actions was also straightforward.

No other reason, forming benevolent connections, just making more bets.

Whether Tao Qian or Duobao Daoist, they are destined to have Great Fate Technique with the "Buddhist Sect."

Especially Tao Qian, who has received half of the Buddhist scripture inheritance from the Great Abyss Zen Master, has been recognized by some as bearing the appearance of a Buddha.

Guanyin Master's move might not necessarily be an act of rebellion against the current All Heavens Buddhism but a small gesture of affiliation.

Simultaneously, it also serves as a test.

Then, the fish basket girl revealed her dissatisfaction, saying:

"Benevolent connection?"

"Heh, do you know that thief Bodhisattva's 'Guanyin Heart Sutra' contains hidden killing intent? Listening to its teaching and chanting sincerely, the numerous Buddhist principles within will transform into a 'Guanyin Buddha Seed,' deeply planted into the heart soul. When the time is right, you'll also become her subordinate clansmen, like some Shancai Child."

"You are a demon child; she might not fancy you."

"The Buddha Seed should go to your true self. No matter what kind of avatar magical technique you have, you can't avoid such insidious matters."

The fish basket girl, having merged with the Great Master's avatar for some time and with hearts and souls intertwined, became aware of these secrets.

He thought Tao Qian would be angry after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, the demon child merely laughed again, saying:

"Rest assured, the Buddha Seed is not formed."

"Had I finished chanting the Heart Sutra, the Guanyin Buddha Seed would form immediately, and this benevolent connection wouldn't happen."

"To collude with the dignified Buddhist Great Saint, one must have some capital."

Through a few words, Tao Demon Child revealed the previous small confrontation between Guanyin Master and the true body Lord Suppressing Evil.

The former tested Tao Qian by imparting the 'Guanyin Heart Sutra' through an avatar.

If his strength was inadequate and the Buddha Seed was planted, even if the true body had the protection of Lingbao Tianzun, ensuring exemption from being converted into the Buddhist Sect, he would still have to sacrifice an avatar to serve Guanyin Master as a Shancai Child.

That Buddha Seed is indeed extraordinary.

It could directly trace the soul through the connection between the avatar's heart soul and the main body's heart soul, implanting the Buddha Seed into the main body's soul.

Neither Daoist, Buddhism, nor the Demon Path, or even heresy and heterodoxy... None of the branch cultivation avatars techniques could combat this sublime dharma.

Certainly, exceptions exist, such as the 'One Qi to Three Pure Ones Technique,' jointly held by the Lingbao, Primordial, and Taishang Sects.

Guanyin Master calculated that Lord Suppressing Evil had not yet learned this technique, believing the Buddha Seed could succeed.

But unexpectedly, while Tao Qian hadn't mastered the One Qi to Three Pure Ones, he refined the Exotic Skill Secret Demon Power 'Chaos Soul Splitting God Transformation Technique' from such a terrifying god demon as the Chaos Demon Ancestor. Its efficacy was not much inferior to One Qi to Three Pure Ones, making exemption from the Buddha Seed's soul tracing rather easy.

This exchange led Guanyin Master to recognize Tao Qian's methods, forming a benevolent connection.

Waiting for the right time in the future, this Buddhist Great Saint with a remarkable reputation even in the Great Abyss Origin Sea might stand with Tao Qian.

...

After a series of tumultuous entanglement and struggle, the Great Demon Tao exhausted all means and carefully planned them, finally reaching the time of harvest.

Forming a benevolent connection with the Bodhisattva Guanyin was a gain, while refining the 'Fish Basket Female Body' of Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva into a servant was another benefit.

Additionally, there were treasures like the 'Plague God Umbrella' and the 'Heart-binding Rope,' and he even tricked the future tool man, Heavenly Furnace Demon Lord.

Moreover, there were some implicit benefits.

Such as his true body unexpectedly gleaned some information about Senior Sister Xie Lingji from Lord Red Rope.

Even learning the name of her eighth split avatar.

"Liu Yupu!"

Currently, the true body of Tao Qian in the distant Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint murmured this name, holding the jade given by Fairy Yunhua, conveying the secrets he had glimpsed.

"Aunt Yunhua left the sect many years to find Senior Sister, and the Source Sea is perilous. I hope this bit of information can aid her."

"Even the forbidden technique exerted by Lord Red Rope at the cost of origin could only capture a remnant shadow and name of Senior Sister, indicating the terrifying troubles she has provoked."

"But having glimpsed the secret of Senior Sister back in the Fire Cave Mansion, where nine avatars are left behind, the eighth still being alive suggests there is still some chance of life..."

While the main body muttered this.

The Great Demon Tao had begun counting the spoils of war, and other things like Magical Treasures, inheritances, or female slaves were easy to handle, but the territory was somewhat troublesome.

Since overthrowing the [Seven Slaughter Army] in Langya County with cunning maneuvers, he used the cleverness of the Divination Worm to consecutively scheme against the Red Rope and Heavenly Talisman armies, eventually causing the Red Rope Divine Monarch, Emperor Heavenly Talisman, and Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva—three renowned God Demons of the Source Sea—to lose everything in their investments in the Search God Realm.

The so-called victor takes all!

Such a conclusion naturally signifies that Great Demon Tao finally secured his first foothold after entering the realm for several days.

Liang Country!

Though this country is categorized as a medium-small nation in the Search God Realm, Ten Thousand Gods Continent.

But having the territory of a nation means a massive gain indeed.

"If I were to follow the usual Secret Demon Child's approach!"

"After controlling a nation, I should become the King and start using the nation's territory and tens of millions of people as resources to cultivate secret demon power and collect world spiritual materials."

"But doing so is really short-sighted, akin to draining the pond to catch the fish, just like the Red Rope and Seven Slaughter God Demons, which will attract the hostility of the Search God Realm Heavenly Dao. Although this 'fool' sets limits and can't interfere, when the world completely shatters, things will be very different."

"Even the dumbest Heavenly Dao Origin can be nasty to you when it comes to a fight to the death."

"Moreover, the spiritual materials to create the [All Heavens Secret Demon Nest] are mostly born during world-breaking, so how can one secure the largest share without establishing a good relationship with that 'fool' beforehand?"

...

Great Demon Tao didn't think long before deciding. After making up his mind, he once again sought out the Divination Worm and sent his thoughts through sound transmission:

"Good worm!"

"Quickly deduce a heavenly path for me, allowing maximum use of this nation's territory and people to benefit myself, while also pleasing that foolish Heavenly Dao Origin."

"By the way, also maintain the ability to expand outward."

"There are multiple continents inside the Search God Realm, with Ten Thousand Gods being one of them, with various nations. Liang Country is just a medium nation among them; how can it satisfy my appetite?"

If the Divination Worm had a strong self-will, it would surely have ridiculed this fellow.

Wanting all the benefits, truly a greedy boss.

But the worm only focuses on peering into the secrets of the mortal and heavenly realms, without wandering thoughts.

Upon hearing the order, it soon returned with a plan.

Tao Qian, after reading it, his eyes lit up immediately, exclaiming with excitement:

"Good, good, it is indeed a comprehensive plan."

"The Heavenly Dao Origin of the Search God Realm is too dull-minded, only recognizing God Demon affiliations, and the stronger they are, and the wider their doctrines spread within the realm, the more it can impress it and grant more authority."

"The 'Peach Blossom God' I fabricated for fun is still a Wild God in this realm; with few temples or divine palaces, it's no wonder this foolish snob of a Heavenly Dao doesn't take notice."

"If so, let's put in more effort and create a powerful God Demon in the Search God Realm."

"The first step, let's conquer and demolish all other God Demon Temples within Liang Country, replacing them with [Peach Blossom Temples], making all the people convert to the Peach Blossom God."

"Liang Country has been ravaged by warfare, and by using this method, I can unify the people quickly, making it easier for me to transform them. In a few years, I might be able to nurture a god demon clan army possessing unmatched conquest power, named [Peach Blossom Army], but in reality, a Secret Demon Army."

"Additionally, with such immense wish power to assist, I can cultivate another great divine power of the Secret Demon Sect, the 'Supreme Secret Demon Refining Spirit God Method'…"

At this point, Great Demon Tao's exuberance was almost overflowing.

It's no wonder, as he is different from the main body and has only recently been born. What he possesses has been appropriated from the main body.

He hasn't undergone three years of bitter cultivation; now, it is his first-time practicing the great method.

This 'Ten Thousand Refining Spirit God' method sounds abstruse, but it's actually a body refining exotic skill, using a vast amount of living being's wish power to forge a terrifying physique capable of killing God Demons.

No need for rare spiritual materials!

No need for extraordinary comprehension!

As long as believers think of their own god as mighty enough, he can be forged as powerful as imagined.

Though it might lose some effectiveness, as long as there are enough believers, the power of this method is also limitless.

If wish power can be easily obtained, this method is a highly profitable business.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but criticize the main body's wastefulness.

"Compared to these oblivious and insecure humans in the Search God Realm, the humans within the Longevity Realm are far superior, both in understanding and foundation."

"The main body has made such great achievements, spreading the 'Spirit Treasure Subduing Evil Lord Temple' across the Longevity Realm, amassing immense wish power, yet he doesn't use it for refining; it's such a squandering of resources..."

He was grumbling about this.

Immediately, a warning came from the main body.

"You, demon, creating this 'Peach Blossom God' using me as a cover is fine, but don't go overboard."

"You haven't bothered concealing the relationship between us, and now there are insiders like Guanyin Master. If you behave excessively and tarnish my reputation, I won't let you off..."

The one who understands himself best is always himself.

Even if Great Demon Tao didn't say it out loud, Tao Qian already guessed what this demon was up to.

Having Peach Blossom Temples spread throughout Liang Country is nothing to worry about!

Tao Qian is concerned that the corresponding Peach Blossom Goddesses will also spread across Liang Country and might eventually cover the whole Search God Realm.

If someday the relationship between the two is exposed, others won't care about the distinction between the main body and its avatar; they will immediately label Tao Qian as "lustful and lecherous."

By that time, how wronged would he be?
