Longevity Chronicles
Chapter 426 - 295: The Female Bodhisattva Wipes Her Body with Light Silk, The Fierce Hand Destroys the Demon Tao

At this moment, Tao Qian's feelings towards the "Gao Ren City" in front of him were similar to his initial impressions of the Fragrant Meat Collection.

However, the situation had escalated considerably.

The Pig Demon that had cultivated the "Cannibal Scripture" had set up a market, establishing preliminary order and flourishing trade. But now, the Gao family had outright taken over a city, first slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people, then rearing two hundred thousand as food and playthings. In comparison, that Pig Demon seemed rather petty.

Furthermore, the background of the Gao family seemed to be much more significant than that of the Pig Demon.

However, as for the specifics, Tao Qian could only guess roughly.

If he wanted to know the whole picture, he still had to delve into it.

It was just that Tao Qian did not want to touch the Gao family, whether it was the human family head, the mother fox, the daughters, or the Pig Demon young master.

Even if he went to touch them quietly, he disliked dirtying his own hands.

Fortunately, there were ways to get around this without resorting to direct contact.

As soon as he entered the city, Tao Qian had discovered that there were temples within and the incense offerings were extremely prosperous.

The temple was called the Dharma Cakra Bodhisattva Temple, and it enshrined a Female Bodhisattva holding a Dharma Cakra, dressed provocatively.

The worshipers coming and going were all demons.

With bodies full of filth, brutal and cruel, yet all showing a devout demeanor, it seemed utterly ironic.

After watching a few times, Tao Qian made a judgment:

"The Gao family, a short-lived dynasty indeed, no more than a hundred or so years."

"Although the ruling emperors are each brutal and disregard human relationships, paradoxically, they hold Buddhism in high esteem, especially favoring the Great Reincarnation Temple among the Buddhist Temples."

"Now it seems likely that the founding emperor of the Gao family was once a Buddha's son at the Great Reincarnation Temple."

"The Gao family must still have connections to the Great Reincarnation Temple, but openly, as a Righteous Great Sect, the temple would certainly reject the fiery tributes of these demons."

"I don't know how other members of the Gao family would act, but the demons in this city of Gao Ren have some talents, actually setting up a new Bodhisattva Temple themselves and enshrining a Buddha statue they modified on their own after one of the Bodhisattvas at the Reincarnation Temple."

"Half dignified, half debauched, truly living up to the name 'Gao Wan,' they really know how to play."

After muttering in his mind, Tao Qian suddenly took action.

He gently stamped his foot, casting his thought magic.

"Divine Spirits of this place, come swiftly at my command."

After calling out three times,

An eerie scene unfolded before Tao Qian.

First, the sudden sound of Dharma Cakra was heard, then a woman appeared with the image of a Bodhisattva but dressed provocatively, resembling a courtesan, and showed herself leisurely.

This woman was none other than the newly born Incense Fire Divine Spirit of this city of Gao Ren.

Dharma Cakra Female Bodhisattva!

Such a mighty and domineering name was actually for a fragile little god.

Any slightly stronger Cultivator could easily crush her.

Let alone for Tao Qian – the Spirit Treasure True Inheritor, Great Master Tao, who was proficient in the techniques of "Communicating with Ghosts and Driving away Gods."

The woman summoned had an exceedingly ugly look on her face.

Yet, she couldn't resist at all.

Following the order, she bowed and respectfully said,

"Little God, Mu Huang'e, pays respects to the Great Master."

"May I know what commands the Great Master has for summoning me?"

Tao Qian had originally thought this woman would claim to be a Bodhisattva, but she surprisingly also had her own mundane name.

Glancing at the Gao family still posing affectatiously, Tao Qian didn't bother with pleasantries and directly commanded,

"This idol and the incense offerings are all given by that person."

"The Gao family doesn't have the phrase 'human relationships' in their view; they likely wouldn't care about differentiating between mortal gods, you must also be a concubine pet of that person."

"Quickly speak of the Gao family's secrets and hidden details, do not delay."

Although Tao Qian's art of Driving God was newly acquired,

This art had come through a Cultivation Tribulation, mastered instantly like a True Word Secret Decree, and could be called proficient.

This weak Incense Fire Divine Spirit was utterly unable to resist him, so Tao Qian didn't even bother proposing any exchange conditions.

In fact, it indeed was so.

Reluctantly, the Female Bodhisattva still bowed again, then opened her mouth to speak,

"The Gao family that occupies this city of Gao Ren is a side branch of the main Gao Family, with 'Gao Wan' as their leader."

"His practiced Magic Skill is 'Little Reincarnation Body Bodhisattva Secret Dharma,' which sounds as if it came from the Great Reincarnation Temple, but actually, it isn't; this Sorcery was originally created by the Gao Family's Ancestor. After cultivation, it rewards one with a strong physical Dharma Image, but the lower the Cultivation, the harder it is to maintain a human form."

"Only after ascending to the Cavernous Mystery Realm can one return to human form."

"In the city of Gao Ren, only Gao Wan is capable of this."

"Apart from this Lifebound Scripture, he has also cultivated some close-combat Divine Skills, and he has refined a Poison Sack within his body, capable of spewing a hundred types of plagues, while his weapon is a Dharma Cakra Vajra Pestle, adjustable in size, powerful enough to demolish mountains and cut off rivers."

"He also possesses a life-saving Divine Skill, called the 'Great Liberation Clone Technique,' capable of instantly creating thousands of clones for escape..."

As Tao Qian listened, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and look at the Female Bodhisattva in astonishment.

Good lad!

Initially, he had merely summoned a minor Incense Fire God to probe some details before taking action.

Unexpectedly, with this inquiry, all of Gao Wan's secrets were laid bare.

Tao Qian even felt that even if he went up now to touch the person, he would not get such detailed Records.

Noticing the surprise in Tao Qian's eyes, the Female Bodhisattva gave a bitter look and once again solemnly bowed, saying,

"The Great Master's Dharma Eye is penetrating, and you must have seen the current state of this little god. This little god was born just seven days ago, forced night by night to mingle with Gao Wan's Divine Soul. Though through this, I glimpsed many of his secrets, my Divine Soul was completely tainted and mutated, leaving me no hope of achieving Dao; rather, I am very close to Falling Demon."

"All that I have, despite being given by Gao Wan, including the name 'Mu Huang'e,' which was the favorite concubine of his father, had this name."
