Longevity Chronicles

"All the treasures in the Water Mansion, you may take them all."

Having just returned from training, Jiushou was surprised to find that his Dragon Nest on Treasure Mountain was still there, thinking that there might be some turn of luck.

He barely had time to be happy before he suddenly heard these two sentences, and so Jiushou could only watch helplessly as the Crystal Demon Girl took the treasure bag. With flushed cheeks and a flick of her delicate hand, she emptied his Dragon Nest.

In that instant, Jiushou felt as if his gallbladder had burst.

...

Ascending Immortal Island, broad daylight.

Adjacent to Cloud Mist Marsh, in the central area, there was a dark ancient mountain.

This mountain was unnamed, situated precisely at the heart of Ascending Immortal Island, only slightly shorter than the Immortal Mountains of Flame, Yunhua, and Ice Pot but far broader and more massive. The land enshrouded by its shadow, no matter the time of day, seemed eternally gloomy and eerie. Indeed, as the Invisibility Demon had said, ghostly shadows thrived and Alien Species lurked everywhere within those shadows.

Hidden deep within this ancient mountain was an extremely old, primitive mansion.

It resembled a barbaric palace or a shrine for sacrificial worship.

If Tao Qian were to consider only this mansion, he would feel it did not fit with the character of Ascending Immortal Island at all, rather out of place.

Yet when viewed as a whole, it was strangely harmonious, even adding a layer of mystery to the Immortal Island.

Having the Ascending Immortal Token in hand, Tao Qian knew a bit more about the details of this second mansion.

"Integrating the Ancient Divine Forbidden Skill into the Immortal Ban, thoroughly compensating for the flawed veins in the island's Big Array, causing its power to surge."

"I couldn't be certain before, but now that I've regained control over the Mystic Netherworld True Water Meridian Suppression Great Prohibition, I can confirm that once I subjugate the whole island, with the Ascending Immortal Token controlling the prohibition, even a cultivator of the Perfect Cavernous Mystery Realm wouldn't be able to touch me. A single misstep, and they might even be killed by me."

"As for the common Cavernous Mystery cultivators, ha, I don't even need the whole island. Once I reclaim the [Twelve Ancient Nuoshen Sha Great Prohibition] representing the wind veins, I can trap and kill such adversaries."

As these two thoughts flashed through his mind, Tao Qian was already leading a group directly into the domain of this ancient mountain.

At that moment, a terrifying change occurred in the region.

All the shadows seemed to come to life, simultaneously surging towards Tao Qian and the others.

In an instant, everyone, including Little Age, Lian Jing'er, Shan Jiu, and the newly joined Jiushou, as well as a large group of Dragon Species followers, all showed signs of discomfort.

Numerous inexplicable "symptoms" appeared on them.

Such as various diseases, plagues, or experiencing headaches and fevers, even directly falling into nightmares, and suddenly howling in pain from the invisible Gu Worms' poison.

Even Tao Qian himself began to feel his mind thundering at this moment.

More horrifying, however, was the sudden appearance of a total of twelve beastly shadows that sprang from the depths of the ancient mountain's Cave Mansion.

Each beastly shadow was mountainously huge and bizarrely shaped, as if each one had traveled through from an ancient Barbaric World.

The "evil beast" described by the Invisibility Demon, with a tiger's head and human body and long elbows on all four limbs, was among them.

As these twelve beastly shadows, each ferociously vicious, made their appearance.

Jiushou and the rest of the Dragon Species Clan, at this moment, became useless.

Their noble Dragon Clan bloodline could not help them; they still felt instinctively sick and afraid.

Some of the more fragile ones began to Mutate and rot right on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Tao Qian showed no change in expression but even revealed a hint of a smile, saying,

"This prohibition has been left unattended for so long, yet not only has it not lost effectiveness, but it has also bred plenty of Evil Spirits and Ghost Plagues, enhancing the prohibition's power."

"Very good, very good. Taking control of it might even be smoother than taking over the Dragon Marsh Water Mansion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Qian turned his head to nod at someone behind him.

Then he spoke softly,

"Now, you may take action, these Evil Spirits and Ghost Plagues are for you to disperse."

"These Twelve Ancient Nuoshen Beasts are for me."

The moment Tao Qian finished his words, a series of delicate shouts suddenly rang out from behind him.

Then, over a hundred dazzling, brilliant figures leaped up fiercely.

Bathed in the sun's glory, one saw about a hundred girls similar to Zhong Doudou appear mid-air. Their bodies were slender, their faces pretty, and their hair came in various colors. Each had four delicate Crystal Corners, their skin pale as crystal, looking just like Spirit Crystal Immortals born of heaven and earth.

The originally dark and terrifying ancient mountain, at this moment, with the arrival of these hundred Crystal Demon Clan girls, immediately became bright and radiant.
