Longevity Chronicles

In the crumbling temple, the group of devils huddled together, trembling with fear as they looked at the fearsome beast from a distance. Merely the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning accompanying it, as well as the rainbow light, left all life within Heavenly Mother Mountain in terror, causing them to scatter and flee amidst the pouring rain.

These devils should have done the same, but they were reluctant to abandon Wood Immortal Temple, their refuge.

The Willow Tree Demon spoke in a grave and serious tone, "We better escape quickly. This is a powerful Dragon Seed. If it goes berserk, not one of us, mere spirit monsters, would be enough to even get stuck between its teeth."

The lower half of the Wild Fox Spirit had transformed into that of the Human Clan, but with a fox's head it spoke in human language, "If we can escape, what will you do? Your branches and leaves may be lush, and it's extremely painful when you hit someone with your Willow Whip, but your roots are immovable, trapped in this Wood Immortal Temple."

The Crow Spirit said, "Why should we flee? We are quite safe here on Heavenly Mother Mountain. If we leave, we'll be captured by those Evil Cultivators for refining. In the mountain next to ours, my clan of Fire Crow relatives met such a misfortune, the whole clan was wiped out, skinned and bones dismantled, not even sparing their Life Souls. It is said they were used to refine a Magical Treasure known as the 'Fire Crow Pot'."

The Spider Monster said, "Shut your crow mouth. If we flee from here and avoid those areas where Cultivators gather, we should be safe."

The Qingzhu Skull said, "No rush, no rush, the Mountain Ghost Sister is about to awaken. Her Dao Heng is the first among all the spirit monsters of Heavenly Mother Mountain. Maybe she can negotiate with this ferocious dragon."

The words of this Alien Species had hardly faded.

In Heavenly Mother Mountain, a disturbance that even Tao Qian found surprising arose.

Amidst the clouds and rain, suddenly came an imposing, remote song, filled with a wild, divine breath. The singer was a woman, whose life force was in perfect harmony with this Heavenly Mother Mountain, clearly the origin-born spirit monster of this mountain, and had already received the mountain's recognition.

If this woman had some tricks up her sleeve, she could directly merge with the mountain, which also qualified as a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and declare herself something like "Mountain God."

Regrettably, the woman didn't seem to have the intention to monopolize the mountain and hadn't done so.

As Tao Qian was frolicking about, he suddenly turned his head, only to see a flash of brilliance, and a primitive yet exceptionally pure figure appeared in front of him.

This was a young woman, her dress seeming to be made purely of green vines. Her hair and skin were unadorned and, though not delicate, she possessed a kind of natural beauty. She was neither Immortal, Demon, Devil, nor Ghost, somewhat similar to the aura of the Divine Dao, yet entirely different. Riding on an exceptionally lively black panther, she controlled the sky and approached.

"May I ask where you have come from? Heavenly Mother Mountain is not the exclusive property of anyone. All beings between heaven and earth are welcome to cultivate here, but you are making too much noise. Could you please restrain your Divine Skills a bit and not frighten the other brothers and sisters in the mountain?"

After speaking, the woman seemed to feel her tone was somewhat improper.

She took the initiative to speak again, extending an invitation to Tao Qian, "I am the daughter of Heavenly Mother Mountain, you can just call me Mountain Ghost. I have some fruits, spiritual tea at my residence, which I can use to entertain you..."

Without a doubt!

This Mountain Ghost before Tao Qian was very courteous.

Despite Tao Qian's unannounced intrusion and commotion, this potential Mountain God, this Female Charm, still spoke peacefully to negotiate.

Under normal circumstances, Tao Qian would certainly have complied.

Unfortunately, it was at this particular moment.

Right then and there, the energy within Tao Qian surged to its limits; his first ordeal was about to arrive.

With a wry smile, Tao Qian suddenly made a move that completely surprised the Mountain Ghost before him, as well as the spirit monsters below who were still hoping for luck and had not yet departed.

"Roar!"

Only a terrifying Dragon Roar was heard as the already vast Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning immediately began to expand, and blinding rainbow light burst incessantly with dreadful Divine Thunder.

A voice that was obviously struggling and on the verge of losing control echoed in the ears of all the spirit monsters.

"Get out of here... I've had a mishap with my cultivation, I'll vent it in your territory."

"If you don't want to be eaten by me... then quickly scram out of here."

As this roar resounded, Tao Qian also activated the Ten Thousand Transformation Technique, causing his Bo Dragon body to swell up wildly, soon transforming into a true behemoth that struck fear into all spirit monsters' hearts, shattering their hope completely; they started fleeing desperately.

The effect was perfect, but to Tao Qian's frustration.

The Mountain Ghost riding the black panther, upon hearing his excuse, did not flee but rushed into the lightning towards Tao Qian, shouting in her holy voice, "Do not panic, fellow Daoist, I have some refreshing and concentration-restoring techniques that can help you recover."

Watching the beautiful, yet seemingly wild daughter-like Mountain Ghost ride the panther towards him,

Tao Qian was absolutely certain this Female Charm wasn't pretending to be innocent to take advantage of him.

She was truly innocent, pure, and naive.

"This Female Charm must have been born from Heavenly Mother Mountain not long ago, showing not the slightest sign of being battered by the Cultivation World."

"Since I can't send her away, there's no other way."

As Tao Qian's mind was set, taking advantage of the Female Charm's proximity, he enveloped her with the Holy Embryo Bag.

The Mountain Ghost was indeed naive, unaware of the wickedness of the human heart. Wrapped up in the white light, she tumbled into the bag at once, becoming dazed with limp limbs and falling into a deep sleep.

At the same time, the spirit monsters within the mountain had all fled without a trace.

Thus, Tao Qian had no more concerns and fully committed to his act, beginning his performance.

Huge dragon body rolling rampantly, drumming sounds thunderous, thunderous booms explosive, with the aid of the Ten Thousand Transformation Technique and Tao Qian quietly using spells like the Sweet Rain Skill and Summoning Thunder Skill, he entirely portrayed the image of a Dragon Seed who had met with a mishap in cultivation to the fullest.

Soon after, as though exhausted,

Amid the enveloping mist, he chose a rocky peak on the mountain and wrapped around it.

This gesture was effortless and natural for Tao Qian, yet this scene was enough to shock the many spirit monsters who had fled at a distance.
