Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 972 - 624: Emperor Wa Bears Six Devil Tribes, All Heavens’ Buddha’s Sons Make Grand Vows (Part 2)

"Although the Six Demon Tribes are considered powerful, they are ultimately not a unified entity, still often subject to the ill-intentioned hunts by gods and demons, repeatedly seeking help from Emperor Wa, but never receiving a response."

"After wandering for many years, the Six Demon Tribes finally chose the Search God Realm."

"To enter the realm, the Six Demons prepared many offerings and took a great vow to Emperor Wa, promising to cultivate the Great Method and to change their violent natures... After enduring for a hundred years, they finally received Emperor Wa's permission, allowing them to build an Emperor Wa Palace inside the Search God Realm, taking residence as part of the God Demon Clans."

"After entering the realm, the Six Demon Tribes did restrain their temperaments, though they occasionally kidnapped thousands of humans as snacks and blood food, they rarely attacked the living beings within their own territories, only going to other countries to catch humans."

...

These depictions seem detailed.

In reality, they were transmitted piecemeal, taking several hours for the Great Demon Tao to fully understand the situation in Zheng Country.

In his mind, the images of the Six Demons birthed by "Emperor Wa" and the appearances of their descendent demon fairies emerged at the right time.

As expected, as the worms said.

Ugly!

Truly ugly.

The strangely shaped, unbearably hideous Demon Immortals, within the borders of Zheng Country, each had taken on the airs of "nobles."

Draped in luxurious robes, they spoke in a scholarly manner, pretentiously ruling over a small country of several million citizens.

These Demon Immortals seemed fully integrated into the Search God Realm, each performing their duties as nobles, ministers, generals, members of the imperial family, etc., collectively serving the supreme Six Immortal Lords. The scene was truly bizarre.

Their violent temperaments were innate, not something that could be suppressed by mere vows.

Thus, one can only imagine what kind of life the citizens of Zheng Country lived.

To say they lived in deep waters and scorching heat would not be an exaggeration.

But Tao Qian also knew that among the citizens fleeing to Liang Country from other countries, those from Zheng Country were the fewest.

The reason?

It was due to the innate bloodline talents of the Six Demons.

When they gathered, they could confuse and pollute the six senses and minds of all living beings under their rule.

For the Six Demon Tribes, humans were like toys, slaves... and reserve food.

Tao Qian could see these through the Divination Worm, and the Golden Cicada, who refined the Unobstructed Heavenly Eye, discerned everything within the first hour of entering Zheng Country.

What surprised Tao Qian, however, was that Golden Cicada did not immediately use great divine skills to kill all the Six Demon Tribes.

Instead, with great patience, he led the seven Great Demons straight into the first city of Zheng Country.

That city was called Mystical Water City.

The city, with over a hundred thousand citizens, was ruled by a demon immortal known as "Black Water Demon."

This demon had a peculiar habit that required it to bathe daily.

Yet it had an odd penchant; despite possessing divine skills to call for sweet rain for itself to bathe, it insisted on occupying the water sources and causing all the surrounding rivers and lakes to become filthy.

At a time meant for toil, the corruption of the water sources in the area forced a hundred thousand citizens to endure the heavenly will, compelled to engage in procreation daily while drinking the filthy water, truly torturous.

More fatally, over time, those who drank the water became filthy and hideous.

No longer human, nor yet ghosts.

Any ignorant people visiting might think they had wandered into a land of devils and ghosts.

On this day, Golden Cicada arrived.

With his heavenly eye observing, the suffering of the hundred thousand citizens entered his sight.

"Amitabha!"

After a single Buddhist chant, Golden Cicada surprisingly cut open his wrist.

As a drop of golden Buddha's blood dripped into the water source, a river encircling Mystical Water City turned clear in an instant, attracting all citizens to drink.

After drinking, miracles descended.

The humans, who had mutated into devils and ghosts, began to return to their normal human forms.

As everyone was in awe, Buddha Light suddenly shone, earth-bursting golden lotus appeared, and with accompanying anomalies, Golden Cicada walked in slowly.

"I am Golden Cicada, from Tang Country."

"I am the second disciple of Buddha Venerable, I have cultivated All Heavens Buddhism for many years and have realized the Arhat Golden Body, I have accumulated endless merit through countless deeds of goodness over my lifetimes... Receive one breath from me, and you'll be free from all ailments; drink one drop of my blood, and you can avoid ten thousand tribulations; eat one bite of my flesh, and you'll attain longevity and become undying."

At this point, it was nothing significant.

Any cultivator with some knowledge would know what being the second disciple of Buddha Venerable entails.

No matter how rare your Golden Cicada's blood and Buddha Qi might be, who would dare provoke you?

Just as everyone knows, should one swallow the contemporary Buddha Venerable, they could become a Buddha instantly.

However, who can truly swallow it?

Yet, the thoughts quickly changed.

Golden Cicada raised his head again, loudly proclaiming:

"I was born in the Search God Realm, unable to bear seeing the suffering of this realm's life, thus I swore a great vow before Buddha Venerable, I am willing to walk the human world, I am willing to relinquish all my cultivation, to shed my blood and flesh, sacrifice my accumulated merits for countless generations, to save... all life!"

"To prove this vow, right from this filth shall I turn it with Buddha's blood..."

This great vow, once made, abruptly caused anomalies.

The whole world of the Search God Realm began to tremble.

Various unimaginable heavenly phenomena erupted, under some grand force's impetus, Golden Cicada's series of great vows swiftly spread throughout the entire Search God Realm.

Whether ordinary humans, or god demon spirit cultivators, or the All Heavens Gods and Demons who occupied this realm, Daoist inheritors... without exception, they heard it clearly.

Great Demon Tao was no exception.

He knew well, this was not some self-promotion by Golden Cicada or All Heavens Buddhism through secretive means.

These scenes were being disseminated by the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Search God Realm.

"What a fool!"

"It's like a puppy flipping its tail for any milk, just for a great vow?"

"Don't you know Buddhism is the best at playing this trick?"

Tao Buddha's son, his words carried a hint of sourness.

Earlier, he had exerted considerable effort flattering the Search God Realm's Heavenly Dao, and yet the outcome was less than Golden Cicada's few words.

The reason was simple, the tangible benefits brought by each side were vastly different.

Golden Cicada swearing such a great vow within the Search God Realm, apart from his connection with the contemporary Buddha Venerable, directly impacted the Heavenly Dao Origin.

This meant Golden Cicada essentially bestowed all his own cultivation and merit here.

To receive such a vast boon, it was only normal for the Heavenly Dao Origin to react.

Though earlier, in a bid to save itself, the Heavenly Dao Origin had been harsh with the Great Abyss Gods, practically "extorting" to keep all the pre-investments of the gods, even forcing them to reinvest.

Such dealings could be deemed as acts of robbery.

Thus, these days, the Great Abyss Gods were expressing dissatisfaction in their own ways, further accelerating the collapse of the Search God Realm.

Everyone craved the Heavenly Dao Banquet, none truly intended to save this realm.

At this time!

Golden Cicada, stepped forward.

Being the first to respond, Tao Qian had no doubt that if the Heavenly Dao Origin could transform into a living being, it might just become a docile puppy at that moment, scampering to Golden Cicada, wagging its tail, and joyfully barking a few times.

And what was even more astonishing was, this was just the beginning.

The great vow of Golden Cicada was clearly a signal.

Almost simultaneously, across the many countries within the Search God Realm.

One after another, "Buddha's sons" appeared, addressing the Great Abyss Gods, Daoist line inheritors, and powerfully declaring, issuing great vows similar to Golden Cicada's.

Largely similar!

All speaking of how strong their Dharma Bodies and merits were, then voluntarily relinquishing them, to rescue all life.

Without a doubt, this was a massive investment by All Heavens Buddhism, unprecedented.

In an instant, the Heavenly Dao Origin boiled.

Without any delay, it automatically broadcasted those grand Buddha sounds to every corner of the Search God Realm, compelling all god demon avatars, clan descendants, Daoist inheritors to listen.

Observing Golden Cicada, Tao Qian appeared helpless, sighing:

"All Heavens Buddhism has a tremendous fortune!"

"How is anyone supposed to compete with that? Truly planning to overpower us with opulence."
