Longevity Chronicles

"My first calamity, who will it be?"

Tao Qian hugged Yunrong, allowing the qi within his body to surge tumultuously. His face betrayed his unusual condition, with his long ears and double teeth showing, while he frowned slightly in contemplation.

Soon, he had an answer.

In fact, it wasn't complicated. Since Tao Qian had set foot in Demon City, he had always focused on concealing himself, avoiding getting involved in troubles or participating in matters. Even if he had to make a move out of necessity, he would use the Secret Demon Transformation Technique to hide his true self. Afterwards, he used the Secret Demon Formless Inversion Method to thoroughly disrupt his destiny and the Heavenly Mechanisms.

Creating false identities and vests, he had managed to come up with two in the past few days.

One was the Secret Demon Child who fought against four in the Medicine King Temple Market.

The other was the Overseas Dragon Demon Jin Linzi, who was now smashed to death by a Dragon Ball, formerly the ogre Li Qingpan.

"The great calamity of Demon City is still brewing, and it definitely wouldn't be my first calamity."

"That leaves only the group I provoked at the Medicine King Temple Market, or Lian Yulou, who marked me with an evil aura."

"Most likely, it is Lian Yulou."

"This neither yin nor yang True Inheritor of the Evil Sect is most vindictive. That day in Jin Mansion, they lost face to me and marked me before leaving. They probably think I'm just another Transcend Mortality Realm Dragon Demon who happens to have some free time to trouble me."

"If my internal qi is this turbulent, it seems I'm bound to face the calamity tonight..."

With this in mind, Tao Qian temporarily regarded Lian Yulou as the tribulation that he was about to face.

If it were someone like Liu Hongsheng, Tao Qian felt he could deal with it casually.

But Lian Yulou was a True Inheritor of the Evil Sect, and moreover an ancestral reincarnation of a Demon Sect giant. Only such an existence would make Tao Qian take cautious measures.

This wasn't enough; he immediately began to strategize on how to trap and kill the enemy.

"Displaying weakness to the enemy need not be mentioned. If I could disguise techniques like the Toad Pearl, Holy Embryo Bag, and Silent Divine Thunder openly, plus the Haotian Divine Light invited by Sister Yunrong, if all these don't kill him, then there's no need to hide the Buddha Bird Relics and Secret Demon Sword Technique. I can also call upon All Demons for help and utilize everything at once."

"If that still fails, I'll ask Yuan Gong to possess me once more, to wield the Demon Cleansing Sword Intent... And should that still not suffice, then I'll have to resort to using Aunt Bai Yin's Snake Scale, calling Aunt Bai Yin herself for assistance."

After several thoughts, Tao Qian had made a firm decision in his mind.

Ensuring everything was in place, Tao Qian did not linger in Zhang Mansion, nor even in Demon City.

Knowing that the tribulation was imminent, and facing a formidable opponent, Tao Qian did not wish to fight with his hands tied, potentially bringing harm to the Mortal Human Race.

Choosing a location based on the map of the surroundings of Demon City provided by Yu Yanshi, he selected one.

Raising his hand, he summoned an auspicious cloud and immediately headed towards a vast mountain range outside the boundaries of Demon City.

This place is also worth mentioning. Since the Ancestor God Forbidden Technique was gone,

It wasn't just the Devil and Demons entering the world; some mysterious phenomena and strange celestial events, which were rarely seen in the past, also erupted and descended into the Mortal World. These events caused numerous natural disasters, and with their ferocious momentum, they permanently altered many terrains and landscapes within the vast territory of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty, making this land, originally most suitable for the Human Clan, gradually revert to its ancestry, becoming more barren and primal.

Some territories, like the border between the Eastern Four Provinces and the south, already harbored a large number of solid and impregnable strategic passes. In recent years, a barbaric sea of clouds had formed, filled with innumerable dangers. Even Cultivators, Demon or armies with Extraordinary Power such as the Heavenly Demon Army or Devil God Army found it utterly impossible to cross.

That place thus earned the name "Mountain and Sea Boundary, World Extreme Pass."

Similar changes had occurred in the surroundings of Demon City. Apart from the well-known Great Wilderness Mountain, another location—where Tao Qian was heading—housed the Heavenly Mother Mountain.

This mountain was originally nothing special, but in recent years, it had grown more divine and mysterious. It was engulfed in constant rain and thunderous roars, rendering the mountain dark and uninhabitable for humans. Yet, if one could enter the mountain successfully, they would be treated to scarcely seen magnificent views. It was even rumored to harbor many Devil and Alien Charm creatures, as well as existences such as Goddesses and Mountain Ghosts.

On an ordinary day, although the mountain had many mysteries, it was still peaceful and lively.

But this night was vastly different.

Several miles away from Heavenly Mother Mountain, Tao Qian gazed from afar, catching sight of the mountain's grandeur.

"This truly is a fine territory, a good choice indeed."

"First, let's take action and scatter those innocent Mountain Spirits and Ghosts."

After reciting these two lines,

In an instant, Tao Qian activated the Secret Demon Transformation Technique within his body.

The next moment, every Life in the territory of Heavenly Mother Mountain heard roaring sounds, grand and vast as though originating from ancient times. Whether savage or primitive, as the roaring drumbeats thundered, fierce Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning suddenly emerged, charging straight towards Heavenly Mother Mountain.

Within the storm of Thunder and Lightning, there surged a rainbow light.

Faintly visible was the figure of a creature with Dragon and Horse features, golden eyes and canine teeth, a black tail and a white body—the shadow of a Dragon Clan beast—roaring as it collided with Heavenly Mother Mountain.

Transformed into a Bo Dragon, Tao Qian roamed throughout the mountain, bringing clouds and rain, as if treating this place as his own territory to oversee.

As a result, many native Devil creatures and spirit monsters in the mountain were terrified, especially when they heard the strong warning in the Bo Dragon's roar, forcing them to move house reluctantly.

There was a temple on the mountain called "Wood Immortal Temple" that had been abandoned for a long time. Now, it was occupied by a group of devil charms, including a Willow Tree Demon, a Wild Fox Spirit, a Crow Spirit, a Spider Monster, and a creature called "Qingzhu Skull"—an Alien Species.

These spirit monsters, usually harmless to humans, didn't cause trouble and simply lived off Heavenly Mother Mountain, slowly accumulating Cultivation by absorbing some of Heavenly Mother Origin Qi.

They had thought the years would be calm, and they could go on living like that.

Little did they expect that this night seemed poised for a significant event, as a terrifying Bo Dragon, for some unknown reason, intruded into Heavenly Mother Mountain, appearing as if it was about to claim the mountain for itself.
