Longevity Chronicles
Chapter 416 - 290: Transcendent and Exquisite, Entering the Daozhen, Immune to All Techniques with a Spiritual Treasure Body

A total of thirteen "giant beings" were entering Anqing.

They crowded together like a thick layer of flesh and blood mist, or a flesh tide, sweeping over from the edge of the sky, occasionally shedding some alien appendages, such as a piece of tentacle covered with fleshy buds and sharp teeth, a gaping blood maw supported by long whiskers, a segment of tail pulsing with phosphorescence, a cluster of insects buzzing, a fishing line with a hook at its end, baited and ready...

Such a scene immediately reminded Tao Qian of the true forms he had once seen inside the Mountain Gate, those of Wu Chao, Three Stars, Golden Silkworm, and other Uncles involved in the contest for the Absolute Immortal.

Massive, terrifying, mutated... and even more so.

It was fortunate that the border of Anqing was all barren hills and ravines where no vegetation grew, letting these monsters enter without causing any horrific casualties.

Having seen them, Tao Qian understood why Xiu Zhonglin had actively captured him to meet these flesh and blood descendants.

Aside from seeking reconciliation, he was probably also afraid that this group of crazy descendants would find an excuse to wreak havoc within Anqing Province, devouring one county here, destroying a city there, lawless and indulging to their heart's content.

Tao Qian also saw that the Xiu Family was by no means anything good; such actions, of course, were not out of concern for the lives of the common people, but rather they treated Anqing Province and its tens of millions of people as their own private property, meat fields, sheep pens, any such designation was fitting.

Since it was private property, of course, they could not tolerate any intrusion by others.

Xiu Zhonglin, still not feeling assured after successively cutting off Tao Qian's two escape paths, continued to maintain the Sealing Spirit Forbidden Technique on Tao Qian's body.

However, his expression had softened somewhat.

Driving the Seven Fragrant Car, they headed towards the tide of flesh and blood mist.

At the same time, he still had the leisure to introduce to Tao Qian each of the Ultimate Happiness Realm's flesh and blood offspring, their names and origins?

The tone of this Xiu Family Elder's speech oddly reminded Tao Qian of Bai Qin, but in terms of charisma and grace, Xiu Zhonglin was much higher; at first glance, one would never think this old man specialized in dirty deeds, but would rather think of him as a refined and cultured Cultivator from a noble family, like plum blossoms dancing in the wind, black mud paving the way, a green cow stepping on the white clouds, a fragrant car rolling over the sky, always good at putting on an act.

Xiu Zhonglin was all smiles as he first pointed to the first giant being, which seemed to be made up of two enormous mountains, composed of two completely different abnormal creatures stitched together, half dragon, half snake, the dragon part gleaming gold, the snake body dazzling, its entire body riddled with lumps as large as millstones, a pair of extremely long claws grew from its belly, reaching out from the clouds.

It was as if everything in the world could not escape its entanglement, its devouring.

"This is Daoist Huan Xiao, who was the Emperor of the Liu Dynasty that inherited the Magic Skill after the First Emperor died. Don't look at him now, in such a state, unable to recover his human form; back then, he was a diligent and enterprising Emperor under whose rule All People prospered and flourished."

"Ordinary Ultimate Happiness Realm Cultivators, even with extended lifespans, would not live past a thousand years if they do not attain the Dao, constantly worn down by major and minor calamities."

"Daoist Huan Xiao resided in his own Gao Zu Emperor's Secret Realm, enjoying longevity and an undying prime."

"Although much of his past wisdom has been eroded, his flesh is extremely tough, and even if Mr. Duobao came wielding the Heavenly Punishment Sword to strike it, he couldn't kill him at all."

Having introduced the dragon-snake monster, Xiu Zhonglin pointed to the next one.

Also from the Ultimate Happiness Realm, it was even more astonishing on the outside.

One could only see a massive clump of flesh approaching through the air, and upon closer inspection, it was rotting flesh mixed with skin and fur, slimy tentacles dripping with saliva, mouths, and twisted, gigantic sheep's hooves, and at the forefront, there was a colossal pitch-black sheep's head.

That eerie sheep face had rows upon rows of cold and violent crimson eyes, scanning both the sky and the earth.

"This is Daoist Sima, who was also once a mighty ruler but now wanders the world in this shape. Rumor has it he was fond of women, building a [Sheep God Temple] in the Secret Realm for his daily pleasures, often spreading skills like 'Sheep Saint's Enchanting God Skill' and 'Divine Sheep Scripture' in the Human World to select suitable furnaces for himself, likely harming at least tens of thousands of female cultivators over the years."

"This is Daoist Gao; look at him, rotten to the core, stinking to high heaven, nothing more than a pile of writhing maggots and rotten flesh, but little is known that he too once had brilliant talent, adept at manipulating hearts. Nowadays, he enjoys spreading the 'Jade Demon Scripture' in the Mortal World. It's said that a city in the Heavenly Fire Province to the west suffered his calamity, with over a hundred thousand people turning into jade carvings in one night, all plundered by him back to the Secret Realm for his enjoyment."

"This is Mr. Yang, speaking of carefree, speaking of freedom, although we are all from the Ultimate Happiness Realm, we don't compare to his distance. His methods of indulgence are so numerous, that even some absurd rulers from the Ancient Era cannot compete; his most acclaimed exploit: he reared thousands of ethereal Heavenly Girls, often revealing traces of immortality in the Human World, seizing the opportunity to spread the 'Longevity Technique' among people – half Immortal Skill, half Martial Arts. Once cultivated, they all became slaves to Mr. Yang, at his mercy to slaughter."

...

"This Daoist Li, my nephew should be somewhat familiar with; his ancestor is none other than the renowned Elder Li Wanshou. In terms of Divine Power, Daoist Li is not as outstanding as his ancestor, but in terms of literature and art, chess, calligraphy, painting, and so on, Daoist Li is truly a role model for our kind. Although due to his bloodline, he has to adopt that smell of rotting fish, if you look closely at him, you can vaguely see the charm of his former human form."

"Speaking of which, my nephew needs to be smart when he falls into their hands. The other Daoists might think to take you back to the Alchemist Secret Realm for handling, but Daoist Li is likely to act directly and assassinate you."

Such an introduction was intricate.

Yet, it was nothing more than a few of Xiu Zhonglin's voice transmissions that took but a moment, and the two sides were already incredibly close.
