Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 99 - 92 Desire to Go to Spiritual Treasure, Earth Devil Country_2

"This Hundred Refinement Sword Pill, although just a magic artifact, if it were to fall into the hands of a proper sword cultivator, is an absolutely terrifying weapon of slaughter."

"However, using it myself isn't a waste either, even though I don't know those myriad and profound sword techniques. It can serve as a disguise as a clumsy sword cultivator, to lower an enemy's guard. When they get close enough, I can directly intimidate them with the Nine True Spirit Sound. Following that, whether I use the 'Selfless' technique, the 'Immortal Slaying,' or even 'Demon Cleansing,' it would certainly be lethal."

With that thought in mind, Tao Qian nodded to himself, satisfied, and concluded his secluded cultivation.

Before rising, he silently estimated the time in his heart.

Adding the original three days, he had cultivated in hiding for a total of ten days.

"All goals have been achieved, and there were even some surprises. It's the perfect time to set out for the Spirit Treasure Sect Mountain Gate."

Thinking with a hint of anticipation, Tao Qian got up and went outside the house.

Having had one experience, before opening the wooden door this time, Tao Qian prepared himself mentally a bit.

After all, the Taoyuan Space is only so large. What further mischief could two kids get up to?

With a "creak" the door swung open, and Tao Qian glanced up, realizing in an instant that his previous thoughts were too naive.

Before him, was it still that jelly-like mushroom world and Bronze White Bone Terracotta City?

Yes and no.

Clearly, it was because Tao Qian had asked the two little ones seven days ago that, while the world was nice, the details were lacking.

And so, in these seven days, Little Age and Lian Jing'er had "filled in" those details.

At this moment, when Tao Qian looked, there were conspicuous traces of civilization within the two small worlds.

Within those mountain and karst caves on the left, many mushroom-like, jelly-like little people and various strange creatures resembling clouds and mists had emerged, and on the right, within those bronze and white bone cities, the terracotta soldiers had come to life, working in well-organized roles, beginning to manage their city.

If it were only this, Tao Qian could actually accept it.

But at a certain moment, an immensely impassioned horn and drumbeat echoed simultaneously within both small worlds.

All those little jelly people and white bone soldiers, who had previously been playing or working, stopped to gather noisily into armies. Under the command of the suddenly appearing Little Age and Lian Jing'er, they roared, and with the narrow path in the middle as their frontier, they began a battle-like struggle.

Despite the scene looking, to Tao Qian, much like two children playing with toys,

The reality was that, at this moment within the Taoyuan Space, the sound of weaponry clashing, shouts of killing, and the thunderous noise of war horses could be heard without end.

Gooey, crystalline blood, resembling jelly, entangled with bronze, cast iron, and white bone, the latter revealing its sharpness, in return, tearing those blood flesh little people to shreds. Limbs and body parts flowed together into streams, spores burst forth clouds... The scene was eerie and terrifying, yet possessed a kind of strange beauty.

Tao Qian now understood even more what Lin Xiaohua had said about if Little Age and Lian Jing'er were left to drift in this dark and chaotic age, should these two little ones be lucky enough not to die but instead grow step by step, then two extremely terrifying Great Demons would indeed emerge in the world.

If an outsider were in this Taoyuan, they'd probably be so frightened they couldn't speak.

After going outside, one could not avoid writing a long "Taoyuan Chronicles" to describe the incredible sights here.

The leaders of the battling little ones quickly noticed Tao Qian. With a wave of their hands, they brought an immediate stop to the conflict. All the fighting tool-like little people simultaneously returned to their positions, forming two eerie formations on either side of the Taoyuan Path, standing off against each other.

Their leaders came bounding joyfully toward him, just like seven days prior—each holding their heads high, emerald and ruby eyes shining brightly, waiting for Tao Qian's new round of evaluations.

Tao Qian scrutinized seriously and after admiring two detailed small worlds for a moment, an obvious look of appreciation appeared on his face. He gave each of the little ones a big thumbs up and lavishly praised them.

Later, he even spent half a day to conjure some toy figurines and played with them several times.

Only after the two little ones were satisfied did Tao Qian propose to leave this place, but those delicate small worlds could not be taken along.

The Pregnancy Stone, though wondrous, was indeed a one-time magical treasure.

Once used, regardless of whether the one-month period was full or not, as soon as the user left, everything here would inevitably turn into a mere illusion and dissipate.

Hearing this, both little ones were, of course, very reluctant to part.

Little Age kept muttering, "I am the Lord of Taisui, my subjects, oh..."

Lian Jing'er, with her gemstone eyes flashing red light, also repeated, "Flesh bodies have weaknesses... Predicting my nation could defeat Taisui Country after three thousand six hundred and ninety-four attempts... Unforeseen circumstances intervening... This prediction is invalid..."

...

A moment later, they were still above the mountain stream and the peach forest.

Tao Qian led Little Age and Lian Jing'er, watching as an iridescent bubble in the void "popped" and shattered, the gleaming fragments dancing in the air, as the bizarre and inconceivable scenes inside also disappeared.

"Though there are still a good twenty days of usage time left, at any other time, it would be nothing to spend another half-month in deep cultivation."

"The scary thing is that if that son-of-a-gun Tang Xianzong, Qin Wuxiang, and the forces of Ji Xianxian clash and turn Southern Yue into a land dominated by Earth Devils."

"By the time I come out, there would be nowhere to run."

"While there's still time, it's best to leave this dangerous territory."

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Tao Qian led the two little ones and was about to use the Small Innate Nascent Soul Escape Technique to leave.

However, the direction he chose was neither through the mountain ranges, nor Seeking Immortal County or the province city, but rather a more secluded direction.

Tao Qian planned to first head east, make his way to the large province neighboring Southern Yue, and then follow the route all the way to the vast and boundless Penglai Sea of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty.

The sense that he had cultivated during the Qi Refining Realm was guiding Tao Qian to search for the entrance to the Spirit Treasure Sect Mountain Gate above the sea.

Thinking this way, it indeed felt very much like seeking the immortal path and inquiring about the way.

But no sooner had this feeling arisen and before Tao Qian could launch his Evasion Light, suddenly, just over a low hilltop,

Tao Qian and the three of them abruptly heard "crackle and boom," a mix of gunfire and thunderous noise, and then they saw a large number of refugees crying and running frantically appearing on the nearby mountain trail and official road.

They seemed to be fleeing disaster, with large and small bags, entire families in tow, and among the ordinary civilians, many wealthy households were mixed in, so most people were walking on foot or dragging hand carts and rickshaws, but some were even riding bicycles or driving small cars in their escape from calamity.

This scene once again dragged Tao Qian back into the complex atmosphere of the Mortal World.

Until the familiar sound of gunfire roared again from behind them, and this time, it was also mixed with the roars of a multitude of Demons and the Demonic Qi visibly rising and obscuring nearly half of the mountain top.

In the midst of the Demon Qi, a wild laugh came through, "What use is your struggle? This king has received the Devil God's decree; from now on, Wending County shall be the domain of my Earth Devil Country. As a Sword Cultivator for over a hundred years, what's wrong with being a minor king and feasting on tender human flesh? It's all because you Human Clan lost the Ancestor God's Forbidden Technique, the Longevity Barrier, hahaha..."
