Longevity Chronicles

These nine magnificent talents had joined the Ancestor Dragon Society much earlier than Tao Qian.

They had many shared experiences and aligned aspirations.

Now, if they were to face death together, not a single one would back down.

Although Tao Qian had joined the society more recently, he shared their goal of saving mortals.

However, unlike the nine who had exhausted all their means and Divine Skills, he still had some cards up his sleeve—not out of a deliberate desire to keep secrets, but because he had only one chance to use them. Once used, Master Tao would have to disengage and flee, or else he would once again bring disaster upon the New Moon.

"Well, it's time to seek help."

"But I'm not sure whether to use the 'Spirit Treasure True Man Named Commanding God Talisman' to summon Aunt Ma Yi or the Master, or should I use the snake scale to call Aunt Bai Yin, or perhaps summon both?"

As this thought flashed through his mind, Tao Qian's mood slightly relaxed.

Although he had yet to see Aunt Ma Yi, Duobao, and Bai Yin demonstrate their prowess,

he imagined that killing or driving away a descendant of an Evil God shouldn't be too difficult.

With this in mind, Tao Qian made his decision: Summon them all.

In the next moment!

Both the Divine Talisman and the snake scale were about to appear in his hands.

Unfortunately, it seemed as if fate itself was intent on preventing him, a Spirit Treasure True Inheritor from Penglai Sea, from summoning reinforcements to the battlefield.

Suddenly, Yuan Gong's voice transmitted again:

"Young man, do not act impulsively. Reinforcements have already arrived."

Almost immediately after Yuan Gong's voice ceased, Tao Qian also became aware.

All around the battlefield, lights flickered from different directions.

Rainbows and shadows shot towards them at high speed.

The first to appear was a Daoist whose energy and demeanor appeared identical to Zhong Ziyang's.

This Daoist, clad in a black robe, had a long beard, lean figure, and piercing eyes, and was seated on a black donkey radiating immortal light. In his hand, he held an ancient-style treasure sword, marked with yin and yang fish. As the sound of hooves echoed across the battlefield, this Daoist's voice also traveled through:

"Junior Brother Ziyang, why are you in such distress?"

"Stop risking your life and let your senior brother assist you."

Before his words faded, the Daoist wielded his sword with a downward slash.

Despite the hundreds of miles of distance, the sword light emitted by the Immortal Sword easily crossed over, first separating Ying Qingdi from the Ten Talents, then with a frightening turn, it aimed directly at the head of Ying Qingdi.

Although it was quickly intercepted by several thick yellow tentacles, the sword light instantly split into billions of black and white threads, enveloping Ying Qingdi like a storm.

The sound of rain beating bananas filled the area instantaneously.

Seemingly reaching a certain limit, accompanied by a "sizzling" sound, one after another thick yellow tentacle was severed and fell into the Evil Lake.

As the ten individuals were momentarily stunned, the black-robed Daoist had already moved closer.

Although he had achieved a feat, a look of worry rather than joy appeared on the Daoist's face as he greeted everyone with a bow, then addressed Zhong Ziyang:

"Junior Brother Ziyang, I see why you wanted me to borrow the 'Taiji Demon-suppressing Immortal Sword' from our master. You've actually provoked an offspring of an Evil God."

"An Evil Lake outside the realm, a Blood-flesh Yellow Robe... it's the child of that person, even gifted her 'Evil Mirror', and is clearly favored."

"Luckily, there are other Daoist friends here. Otherwise, we should be fleeing by now. The Demon-suppressing Immortal Sword is powerful but depends on who wields it. I'm still a bit short of reaching the Ultimate Happiness Realm, can't fight it, can't fight indeed."

After this Daoist finished speaking, everyone guessed his identity.

"Mei Su," mentioned by Zhong Ziyang as 'Senior Brother Mei Su', was rumored to be the strongest among the true disciples of Taishang Dao, only second in fame and power to the Great Master Wang Chan.

If compared to the Spirit Treasure True Inheritor, his status would be similar to Wei, who practiced Dual Cultivation of Dao and Demon.

However, hearing him mention being just short of reaching the Ultimate Happiness Realm, Tao Qian was startled and thought, "If he is close to entering Ultimate Happiness, then Wang Chan above him might already be in Ultimate Happiness Realm... It seems Taishang Dao truly deserves its reputation as the foremost among Daoist sects, their true disciples appear to be stronger than ours in Spirit Treasure Sect."

As Tao Qian pondered this, Yuan Gong, guessing his thoughts, also transmitted his voice unexpectedly.

The voice contained both surprise and schadenfreude:

"Young man, no need for comparison; your Spirit Treasure Sect's cultivation method is different from that of Taishang Dao."

"Not to mention your unique fate as an Alien Species, just take Xuu Xun. If I'm not mistaken, after he receives the teachings from Lingbao Tianzun, his cultivation and abilities will surge for a while, and he might not lose to that youngster named Wang Chan."

"Right now, you should worry about yourself. Using the 'Secret Demon Transformation Technique' habitually will eventually meet someone knowledgeable."

"This junior named Mei Su has precisely cultivated a pair of 'Taiqing Dharma Eyes'. You, I'm afraid, have been seen through."

Hearing this, Tao Qian was startled, and he instinctively looked towards the black-robed Daoist.

The vest fell off?

Indeed, as the two exchanged glances, a flicker of clear light flashed in the Daoist's eyes. At first, he felt shocked and angry, thinking that a Secret Demon Child was hiding here to assassinate Zhong Ziyang.

But then, seeing Tao Qian's true appearance and the treasure aura enveloping him, he couldn't help but turn his anger into laughter.

He didn't expose Tao Qian but instead secretly transmitted a message to him:

"If I'm not mistaken, Daoist, you must be the currently acclaimed number one talent of the Daoist sect, Tao Qian, Daoist Tao."

"Initially, I was worried about Junior Brother Ziyang's life, but since Daoist Tao is here, I presume all is well."

These flattering words made Tao Qian feel embarrassed, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Fortunately, at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Their greetings and eye contact had lasted only a few moments.

Meanwhile, Ying Qingdi was still contending with the Taiji Demon-suppressing Immortal Sword brought by Mei Su of the Taishang Dao. As tentacles fell and the Yellow Robe vibrated, numerous formidable presences suddenly invaded the battlefield.

The second one caught everyone's eye.

From the west, a thick devil fog surged, covering the sky and blotting out the sun, with golden light exploding within it.

A short figure flew out—it was an odd ape with a pointed mouth and cheeky face, covered in dark golden fur, and wearing golden armor.

This ape was not of the Human Clan, but its eyes were exceptionally agile, and it clearly possessed Extraordinary Powers from birth. It blinked, and in an instant, threads of gold streaked through the air, seemingly able to see through various mystical illusions and barriers.

In its hand was a dark gold long staff, undoubtedly a Divine Weapon.

For when it swung, the heaven and earth resonated, causing thunder and lightning, with storms and rainbows rolling in.

Seeing this, nobody could miss it.

This ape was undoubtedly a powerful Cultivator of an Innate Abnormal Species, obviously of the Cavernous Mystery Realm, and ordinary Cavernous Mystery cultivators probably couldn't even stand as his match.

After appearing, it didn't immediately attack Ying Qingdi.

Instead, it called out to Chen Xiyi:

"Big brother, little Saint is here!"

"Hmm? Who has bullied you... could it be they are seeking death?"

The ape's golden eyes sparkled, immediately noticing that his own brother Chen Xiyi was seriously injured.

The ape's mind swiftly pinpointed the root cause and immediately set its gaze on Ying Qingdi.

In its eyes, the killing intent condensed into substantial golden light and chaos.

Seeing Ying Qingdi's Giant Spirit Dharma Body was too large, it seemed discontented and shouted:

"Only you are big, can't I be also?"

"Watch my Fangcun Mountain's Sublime Dharma, grow bigger, and longer!"

With thunderbolts in the clear sky, in a moment, an immensely giant Golden Ape appeared.

It bared its teeth at Ying Qingdi and yelled:

"You bastard, how dare you hurt my brother, take this from my staff."

Before the words ended, the dark gold staff, capable of stirring the vast ocean, had already smashed down.

In the next moment, apart from the sounds of sword light cutting through flesh, a series of dull thumps immediately followed.

A scene all too familiar to Tao Qian unfolded.

When he had previously used the Buddha Bird Relics to transform into the Sky-Supporting Ancient Ape, his actions were similarly rough and violent, intimidating to those who saw.

Moreover, he was borrowing power, losing a bit of the Innate natural essence.

But this Cultivating Ape was the real deal.

Even Mei Su of the Taishang Dao, upon seeing this, felt it was an eye-opener, couldn't help but exclaim: "What a Cultivating Ape, truly a heroic figure."

At the same time, the one who was more excited was Yuan Gong, who was in Tao Qian's arms.

He was originally also an ape, and seeing his kind successfully embarking on the path of cultivation brought him immense gratification.

He could barely contain himself once he saw the talents of this Golden Ape, and transmitted a message to Tao Qian:

"Innate Abnormal Species! This little monkey is like me, a spirit monster formed from an Innate Abnormal Species."

"Young man, for the first time, I'm asking you for a favor."

"If you can lure this little monkey to join my Secret Demon Sect, I will surely reward you greatly."
