Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 979 - 628: Demon Lord Yin Zhou Takes the Fall, the Demon Child True Monarch May Be a Calamity

In terms of seniority, as the Second Disciple of the Buddha Venerable of this era, the Golden Cicada is already quite high, but still far from being compared to an Innate God and Demon.

The latter's years of cultivation, are likely hundreds, thousands of times that of the Golden Cicada.

Unfortunately, in the Cultivation World, the older one gets doesn't mean the stronger one becomes.

This old god demon, the Evil Lustful Lecher, has nearly severed his Dao Path, while the Golden Cicada is about to realize the position of the Merit Buddha. Even if they fought head-on, the latter has the higher chance of winning.

However, at this moment, the Golden Cicada did not take action, but instead threatened with a nonchalant remark.

Even though it was just a few words, for the Evil Lustful Lecher, they held an overwhelming deterrent force that he could not resist.

He indeed has no combat strength!

Nor does he have any strong backing!

The reason he dared to speak as he did earlier, was simply because he thought, being an Innate God and Demon, even if he gained a little advantage verbally, the Joyful Buddha's generosity should not mind.

The Joyful Buddha is indeed his junior, and once came to discuss the Dao with him.

But it cannot be said to be "advice"; after a brief exchange, he realized that in the path of Yin Yang Harmony, the Joyful Buddha's Taoist power had already surpassed his own.

Before the Joyful Buddha left that Evil Lustful Secret Realm, he even advised the Evil Lustful Lecher:

"Daoist, although you were born of the Innate [Yin Yang Meat Pillar] and attained the Dao, your foundation is weak, and if you cannot carve out a new Great Dao, one day it will lead to a Dao Tribulation due to accumulated consequences. At that time, with your unrefined Divine Power, you are afraid you will not overcome it, and it will undoubtedly end in death and the disappearance of your Dao."

"Decisive action must be taken to prevent further troubles. Remember that."

The advice of a dignified Buddha like the Joyful Buddha should have been heeded.

However, at that time, the Evil Lustful Lecher was not very aware of the impending crisis, and was not willing to accept being surpassed and lectured by a junior. If he could have fought back, he never would have tolerated it.

Thus, after hearing it, he simply ignored it.

As years passed, retribution eventually came.

He thinks that even if the Joyful Buddha heard the Golden Cicada's complaint, he would not embarrass him regardless.

But he, wanting to save face, no longer wishes to lose face.

One could see his Dharma Body of the meat pillar changing colors of blue, white, and black, finally looking at the Golden Cicada with a look of anger and speechlessness, and then in a half-hearted tone:

"No wonder you are the Second Disciple of the Buddha Venerable, the Destined Merit Buddha, coming right in with such pressure."

"Fine, your All Heavens Buddhism is powerful, how can an old man like me provoke you?"

"Enough, enough!"

Before leaving, the Evil Lustful Lecher once again stared at the innocent-looking Great Demon Tao with anger.

He was furious, but had nowhere to vent, so he could only say fiercely:

"What a cunning Secret Demon Child!"

"Playing so well, a demon actually able to cling on to the big thigh of All Heavens Buddhism, now I believe you can sit in the position of Secret Demon Sect Master."

"But don't forget, the grand oath you swore to me before was witnessed and approved by those [Secret Demon Ancestors] of yours. If you betray it, you will surely die a terrible death."

From these few words, it is clear that this cowardly Evil Lustful Lecher dares not fight, but dares to sow discord.

After speaking, giving no excuse for the Golden Cicada to take action, the Yin Yang Meat Pillar directly smashed into the Void, a rift opened, and it bent its tip to leap out of the Search God Realm.

...

The Evil Lustful Lecher thought that the gossip he leaked with a few sentences would be enough to create a rift between the cunning Secret Demon Child and the Golden Cicada.

Unfortunately, he overestimated himself.

Although he has lived long, for years he has only been concerned with matters of Yin Yang lust, with little growth in wisdom.

In terms of mind games, he is no match for this Secret Demon Child and this Buddha's son.

His words, painstakingly crafted, were said in vain.

On the contrary, after he left, the Golden Cicada looked at Tao Buddha's son with satisfaction.

He had already received reports from the Golden Winged Great Peng, and now saw the Wisdom Root Buddha Heart on Tao Qian again, more pleased with the Great Demon Tao being so "user-friendly."

He practiced the Joyful Zen Method, and reached Great Success overnight.

This progress highlighted two realities:

One is to reconfirm that this child is no Secret Demon Child, but a Natural Buddha Son, now merely covered in dust.

Two is that this child indeed has a heart inclined towards Buddhism but still has reservations, so he did not immediately practice the "Great Treasure Merit Scripture," but secretly practiced the Joyful Zen Method.

Seeing this, the Golden Cicada found joy.

At the same time, in his mind he began to consider how to recruit him as a disciple. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"This child has extraordinary talent, perhaps only slightly less than mine; if he becomes my disciple, it would surely increase my influence, not to be missed."

"Only the ill-intentioned Secret Demon Sect's second-generation ancestor behind him is rather troublesome..."

Tao Buddha's son knew the Golden Cicada before him was but a shadow.

But being stared at in such a way still made him quite uncomfortable.

However, Tao Qian, being so cunning and shrewd, with a crystal-clear mind, didn't need to guess to know the thoughts of this future Merit Buddha, with the Wisdom Root Buddha Heart's blessing, he was not worried about being seen through at all.

So, with a turn of thought, he feigned concern and asked:

"I observed the commotion within Zheng Country during the day with a bit of casting myself."

"The Saint Monk's profound Buddhist Law indeed impresses me."

"However, the [Forbidden Mountain Lord's] line is overly tyrannical, having forcibly taken the Saint Monk's Dharma Body to become the Earth Suppressing Buddha. Is the Saint Monk well now? If there is a task, this junior is willing to contribute."

These few words made the Golden Cicada even more delighted.

He also felt curious!

As a prominent figure in All Heavens Buddhism, the Golden Cicada has yet to officially take in any disciples, experiencing the Way of the Master.

But it should not cause emotional upheaval just because of a "junior's" concern.
