Longevity Chronicles

Chapter 918 - 590: The Demon Child Seeks Destiny, Daoist Sect's Number One Pretty Boy

The Blood Locust Demon General, revealing his mutated true form, turned with a cruel grin, extending his claws to grab two treasures and, after examining them, said:

"What fine treasures!"

"If it were the Founding Emperor Li Feilian of the past, or the current Demon Cleansing General using them, no doubt I would already be a charred pile struck by thunder."

"How unfortunate, you're but a little wench, didn't even have time to perform a proper rite; how much of Mother's Lightning's Divine Power can one summon?"

"However, your cunning trick was commendable, successfully luring me here, willing to take your hit."

"As a reward, I'll devour you first, reuniting you with your father and daughter."

"Afterwards, I'll slowly toy with that pair of sisters and mother... As for this delicate Crown Prince, my master insists on capturing you alive, so I'll let you live a few days longer."

The Blood Locust Demon General, savage by nature, bore the task of gathering resentful souls for his household's divine demon.

Therefore, before acting, he would always torture people first.

Otherwise, no resentful souls would be produced.

But if he knew "villains always die from talking too much," he might choose a different approach.

Just as the Blood Locust Demon General revelled in his chatter, an unforeseen event suddenly occurred:

On a rugged mountain path, through a dim forest.

A burst of brightness exploded, and peach blossoms seemed to dance across the sky from nowhere.

In the flowers, a potent, intoxicating Exotic Fragrance filled the air.

Simultaneously, two clear and pleasant immortal voices were heard:

"Everyone, guests who come."

"As you are destined to visit [Peach Blossom Spring], all may enjoy the immortal treasures."

All turned to look towards the source of the immortal voices.

From the depths of the boundless peach blossoms, two immortal children of ice-jade skin emerged slowly.

The girl on the left held a peach branch.

The boy on the right cradled an immortal peach.

This scene could truly be described as a miraculous divine revelation.

For a moment, both sides were dumbstruck.

Before Shi Beiniang and the others could discern anything, they first saw the pair of immortal children walking straight towards the Blood Locust Demon General.

The girl raised her peach branch, waving it towards the demon general, the sweet rain immortal dew upon it sprinkling forth.

The boy then with a wide smile offered the immortal peach, urging the demon general to swallow it.

At that same moment, they witnessed the peach blossoms suddenly transforming into fluttering, palm-sized "Peach Blossom spirits," actively diving into the mouths of all Locust Mutants, as if offering themselves to entertain the guests.

If earlier, it was divine beauty and splendor, now it was a pathological, bizarre distortion.

Even the young Crown Prince and Princess could sense something amiss.

This was a trap!

Strangely, the originally immensely powerful Blood Locust Demon General and the hundred thousand locust people seemed to be entrapped in an illusion from which they couldn't escape.

Obediently consuming the Peach Blossom spirits, receiving the sweet rain, eating the immortal peach.

In an instant, like dumplings being dropped into soup, the sky-filled locusts rustled to the ground, melting into flower fertilizer in the blink of an eye.

The Blood Locust Demon General, whose original form was massive, had a satisfied smile on his face, opening his mouth to thank the immortal children, when a delicate peach tree burst out from his mouth, breaking his body apart, absorbing his nutrients.

Blinking in disbelief, and upon looking again, all troubles had vanished.

Before them stood only a delicate peach tree and the pair of immortal children gazing at them with kind expressions.

Before Shi Beiniang and the others could ask questions, the pair of immortal children spoke first:

"Destined ones!"

"The disturbing evil creatures have been eliminated, please follow us to meet our master."

"Tonight, this auspicious occasion shall witness the birth of new Divine Envoys and Spirit Officials."

These words fell on their ears.

Shi Beiniang and the Empresses remained vigilant, but the two youthful Crown Prince and Princess could not suppress the glow in their eyes.

Without regard for the danger just relieved, they couldn't help but exclaim in turn:

"Destined ones? Wow, could it be the opportunities spoken of in the divine demon folk tales?"

"It must be, Divine Envoy, Spirit Official indeed."

Such a reaction from the Crown Prince and Princess was not unusual in the Search God Realm.

In this realm, such legends were plentiful.

Originally an ordinary person, unexpectedly encountered the [Outer Realm Demons] before they spread their teachings, and after being favored by them became a Divine Envoy Spirit Official, gaining extraordinary God Demon Power.

Such people have a collective term, called God Demon Spirit Cultivation, which is equivalent to the cultivators of the Longevity Realm.

Most God Demon Spirit Cultivators can only learn one set of God Demon Rites, following and offering tribute to one God Demon.

Their strength or weakness depends on the power of the God Demon they follow and their own cultivation.

A few God Demon Spirit Cultivators can learn more than one set of rites... such people in the Longevity Realm are called Talents.

Their Li Family ancestor, known as the Heavenly Gang Spirit Officer Li Feilian, belonged to the latter.

...

Although the changes in the scenery before them perfectly aligned with the blessings described in the books,

Shi Beiniang and the sister pair of Empresses still held doubts.

Especially in the next moment, after the immortal child spoke, none of them could resist, and they involuntarily stood up and followed the Two Immortal Children deeper inside.

As soon as they left, the magnificent scenery instantly vanished.

Replaced by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

A pile of locust mutant corpses stacked like a mountain, all poisoned to death.

At the peak of the corpse mountain was the Blood Locust Demon General, whose grand head was pierced through by an unknown demon blade, and his belly was miserably torn apart—having swallowed a peach, it was shredded by the Yang Demon Child's demon blade.

Had it been a face-to-face battle, given the favor this demon general received from the [Locust God] among the Acquired God Demon, he should not have died so abruptly and miserably.

At least he should have been able to battle with the Yin Yang Demon Children for several rounds before determining the outcome.

Unfortunately, the Great Demon Tao had no patience.

With a single glance, he saw the great flaw of this realm's cultivation system: the so-called God Demon Spirit Cultivation's strength relied entirely on the God Demon itself; without them, the combat power drastically decreased.

After realizing this, he directly ordered the [Little Divination Worm] to sever the Spiritual Response between the Blood Locust Demon General and the Locust God.

Then the Yin Yang Demon Children launched a surprise attack, swiftly resolving the trouble.

To achieve this!

The conditions were numerous; had the opponent or territory been different, he would have been powerless.

Only the already thoroughly invaded "Earth Evil Ridge" by the insect silk of the Little Divination Worm allowed the Great Demon Tao to easily manipulate the weather, pretending to be a ghost with no hindrance.

Killing the Blood Locust Demon General was no big deal.

His real "tricks" were still ahead.

...

Led by the Two Immortal Children, the Empresses fleeing for refuge, along with the Crown Prince and Princess and Shi Beiniang, entered the Peach Blossom Spring.

The initial mysterious darkness followed by a sudden clearing was truly wondrous.

So when they saw the "Peach Blossom Spring" painstakingly arranged by Tao Qian, they couldn't help but utter sounds of amazement, even Shi Beiniang.

The Search God Realm was on the verge of shattering, and the Human Clan of this realm was certainly in peril.

Even those enjoying luxury and power in the Human World, those "nobles," often witnessed war and countless natural disasters throughout their lives; seeing such a peaceful secret realm unavoidably captivated their spirit and sight.

Walking towards the village, their ears echoed with the themes of Peach Blossom Spring infused by the Two Immortal Children.

Unconsciously, they became immersed.

When they arrived at the altar and saw the statue of the [Peach Blossom God],

The miracle and immortal scenery reappeared:

The statue of the Peach Blossom God suddenly emitted Divine Light, and in a trance, a scene that even the God Demon stories could not depict was projected.

That image contained a Divine Realm Immortal Realm, within which the most striking feature was an endless Immortal Peach Forest, with its owner emerging at this moment.

It was a Divine being!

His appearance and demeanor differed greatly from any person or deity in this realm.

The Divine Light emanating from him was enough to make all the evil demons submit.

Seeing this, there was a wave of awe.

The sister pair of Empresses, the Crown Prince and Princess, involuntarily knelt down.

From their expressions, it was clear that they were entirely convinced this was an Outer Realm Demon who had not genuinely revealed miracles or spread his teachings in the Search God Realm, at least within Liang Country, and evidently was a Good God inclined towards the Human Clan.

Even Shi Beiniang, who was still somewhat doubtful, hesitated and knelt when looking at the "Master Tao's" appearance.

Residing within the statue, the Great Demon Tao saw the scene below and couldn't help but express his defiance and amazement in his heart:

"Hmph!"

"As I expected, my true form is really the first pretty face of the Daoist sect; with this flamboyant style of [Spirit Treasure Suppressing Evil Lord] displayed, who could resist believing?"
