Longevity Chronicles
Chapter 437 - 301 Tai Wei Escape Heaven Immortal Technique, Divine Corpse in Changliu Mountain_2

Zhong Ziyang had just finished speaking when he immediately received a response.

"No need, I am willing to take on this task."

"Others may fear Gao Zhan, but I do not. Quickly pick out fifty thousand citizens willing to go to the Imperial City."

"Mr. Zhong Daoist, no more prattle, act quickly."

An unexpected yet somehow anticipated scene unfolded.

Tao Qian had observed before that Yang Tingjian, Xie Lingzhu, and Li Fulian were all different in temperament, but they could all be considered "good people." That they agreed to Zhong Ziyang's request was actually quite normal.

In the blink of an eye, the four had divided the two hundred thousand citizens among themselves.

Without delay, they escaped through the same city gates they had entered.

Zhong Ziyang was to do the same, but before he set off, he asked Tao Qian, "How are your Escape Skills? If they are not fast, why not join my disciple and seek refuge in my Little Qiankun Map for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Qian swept his robe, flinging out an Outer Realm Demon that appeared bold and valiant, with a green face, tusks, and a single horn on its forehead, resembling a small general.

Naturally, he did not choose the "Star Zha Demon" to reduce the risk of revealing his identity.

Within the Cultivation World, rumors about the Spirit Treasure True Inheritor Tao Qian highlighted a noteworthy detail: he practiced Secret Demon magic and favored commanding the Star Zha child, capable of escaping tens of thousands of miles in a single bound.

Decree Demon!

Still unnoticed, and as the Secret Demon magic spread throughout the Cultivation World, many Cultivators skilled in commanding demons emerged. The Decree Demon was quite useful and had gained considerable fame, with many Cultivators loving to capture it for their use.

Indeed, Zhong Ziyang immediately recognized the nature of the Demon and exclaimed in surprise,

"Quick as a decree!"

"Daoist, your good fortune is strong. I also know the Summoning Demon Technique from the Secret Demon Sect, but whenever I summon, it's always the likes of the Joyful Demons that appear, which are unbearably mundane."

"With this little devil here, indeed, your speed will not be inferior to mine."

"Let's go, let's go, Gao Zhan is coming."

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Ziyang was the first to escape towards the south.

Tao Qian commanded the Decree Demon to follow, looking upwards only to see Zhong Ziyang's Dao Body suddenly transform into a wisp of white smoke, soaring into the sky in an instant, crossing a thousand miles in the blink of an eye.

From his embrace, Yuan Gong's voice came through:

"This is the 'Taiwei Sky Escape Technique,' a mysterious Escape Skill of the Taishang Dao, which hardly consumes mana and comes at a minor cost. Its speed may not match the Great Freedom Heart Light Escape, but it carries a casual elegance, befitting a supreme Immortal Intermediary."

"You need not be envious; since you have obtained the 'Scripture of Salvation,' you already possess a treasure trove. Within this Great Book, there is a technique called the 'Spirit Treasure Unlimited Mahayana Escape Technique.' Once activated, the sky will be filled with jade light and rising purple smoke, indistinguishable from the scenery of ascending to immortality in a cloud. It would be much more graceful than that little Daoist's ascent of white smoke."

"Of course, in terms of convenience, the Star Zha child is somewhat easier to use."

...

As Yuan Gong offered his guidance, the two had already escaped thousands of miles, leaving Gao Ren City far behind them.

Yet neither Tao Qian nor Zhong Ziyang's expressions were anything but grave.

The premonition of crisis had not weakened but grown more intense.

Tao Qian glanced sideways to see Zhong Ziyang using both hands, fleeing rapidly while incessantly performing calculations.

And at that very moment!

Even from thousands of miles away, Tao Qian could faintly hear a terrifying roar coming from the direction of Gao Ren City.

At the same time, a message was transmitted to all four escaping parties:

"Whoever kills my Gao Family's people and steals my Gao Family's treasures..."

"No matter who you are! Kill!"

The message was quickly followed by a contamination descending through the void.

Both Tao Qian and Zhong Ziyang, as they desperately fled, felt their bodies suddenly seize up.

Disturbing changes began to manifest on the surface of their bodies.

It started with a sickly yellow-white "pus" seeping out from beneath their skin, spreading relentlessly. Wherever the pus spread, flesh, skin, bones, and hair follicles began to undergo Jade Transformation...

A Record burst forth in Tao Qian's mind:

[Currently suffering from Jade Demon Origin Qi corrosion... Can resist!]

Then, from the sky above, two cold snorts were heard.

The Mutated changes in both Tao Qian and Zhong Ziyang's bodies were simultaneously purged.

Obviously, being the True Inheritor of the Taishang Dao, it was unlikely for Zhong Ziyang to be harmed by Gao Zhan across such a vast distance, even though this Jade Demon True Monarch was from the Ultimate Happiness Realm.

However, Gao Zhan was also aware of this; his tactics were just to delay Tao Qian and the others' speed, creating an opportunity to cast a second spell through the void.

As the two hesitated, the surroundings immediately transformed.

The mountains, clouds, and birds... everything within their sight turned to jade in an instant.

Even the very air was filled with a large amount of visible "Jade Fragments," growing more numerous by the moment.

Within this illusion, both found themselves seemingly entering a jade stone Secret Realm.

Fantastically beautiful!

Incredible!

At the same time, dangerously abnormal.

The two exchanged a glance, each feeling an extreme sense of impending crisis.

Without waiting for the thoughts in his mind to surge, Yuan Gong's reminder came again:

"Quick, flee that place."

"That's the 'Jade Demon God Evil Thunder Skill' of that beast Gao Zhan; this technique is even more treacherous than your 'Silent Divine Thunder.'"

"Within a radius of six thousand miles, all are within that beast's throwing range."

"If either of you is even a fraction too slow, you won't control your own life and death."

As Yuan Gong finished speaking, Tao Qian had already reached out to grab Zhong Ziyang.

He paid no attention to whether his Dharma Body was strong or not, treating himself and Zhong Ziyang as if they were comets streaking through the sky, hurtling directly towards the boundaries of the Jade-Transformed world.

Following a "crack" sound, the two blasted out.

And with that, the Secret Realm exploded.

In an almost silent roar, an unspeakably powerful force transmitted, pushing them hundreds of miles away with its momentum.

Both turned their heads at the same time, and by the light of the exploding jade fragments, they saw, in the direction of Gao Ren City,

A terrifyingly huge shadow of a creature!

Rapidly moving with a horrifying speed, it was frantically pursuing them.

That thing resembled an irregular, enormous mass of rotting flesh.

Suspended above the sky, within the rotten flesh teeming with innumountable maggots, were thousands of bulging yellow eyes filled with lascivious evil; from it extended numerous meaty tentacles with large mouths at their ends, their blood-red tongues stretching out as a cascade of yellow and white pus poured down like waterfalls towards the earth.

Jade Demon True Monarch Gao Zhan?

Who could have imagined that such a powerful being from the Ultimate Happiness Realm would look like this?

Without even maintaining a human form, more devilish than a demon.

Yet even in this form, Gao Zhan's evasion speed far surpassed the two of them.

If this continued, in just a few breaths, he could catch up to Tao Qian and Zhong Ziyang.

Seeing his crazed form, Tao Qian's true identity need not be mentioned; if it were exposed, it would only drive Gao Zhan to elated madness.

Even for Zhong Ziyang, invoking the "Taishang Dao" might not guarantee mercy.

Zhong Ziyang's one hundred and sixty thousand White Eyebrow Needles were unmatched in might.

But against this being, they were likely insufficient.

"Being caught, death is certain."

This thought arose in Tao Qian's heart.

At the same time, he couldn't help but begin pondering what methods he could employ to avoid this tragic fate.

At this very moment, Zhong Ziyang's frantically calculating hands suddenly stopped.

His face openly showed joy, and then he transmitted a message to Tao Qian:

"Quick, Mr. Lin Daoist."

"Let's escape in the southwest direction, there lies a chance for life."

Tao Qian, hearing this, swiftly followed suit.

The two sped through the air, and in just a few breaths, that Gao Zhan was drawing ever closer behind them.

Just then, an immensely large, and extremely bizarre, mountain suddenly appeared before them.

That mountain!

Completely enshrouded in a thick layer of gray-white fog.

An urgent sense of danger even more intense than facing Gao Zhan immediately erupted.

At this time, Zhong Ziyang's voice came through:

"Mr. Lin Daoist need not panic, this mountain is dreadful, but it is where you and I can find a chance for survival."

"The Ancestor God Forbidden Techniques have been disintegrating for many days, gradually failing to block some of the Outer Realm Evil Gods."

"I've calculated that this mountain is called 'Changliu Mountain,' it too is a place for Cultivation, rich in Source Qi, harboring seven or eight minor Sects, with five to six thousand Demon Cultivators."

"A month ago, the corpse of an Outer Realm Evil God fell into the mountain, transforming all the life within overnight into beings akin to Corpse Slaves and Demon Servants."

"That Evil God's corpse is alarmingly corrupt, turning this place into a Forbidden Zone of death in just ten days."

"After we enter, using my Secret Techniques to conceal us, we can pass through the mountain and escape successfully. If Gao Zhan follows us in, his Ultimate Happiness Realm Mana will surely provoke the residual will in the corpse to devour, and he will have no chance of survival."
