Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 202 - 164: Bird Demon Talks about True Inheritor, Daoist Alcohol and Meat Suddenly Visits

"Hmm? Nursing Woman Bird?"

Because of yesterday's conversation with Zhong Doudou, Tao Qian immediately recognized the somewhat abnormal sound.

Standing on the clouds, he looked toward the exterior of Ascending Immortal Island.

Indeed, in the sky very close to Ascending Immortal Island, five or six very special female demons were sneakily peering over from behind the clouds.

They seemed to be adorned with exotic treasures, seemingly unaffected by the Nine Prisons of Ghosts Wind.

The clouds appeared dense, but under Tao Qian's sharp gaze they might as well have not existed at all.

Soon, Tao Qian saw their true forms, indeed half-human, half-bird, with bare breasts and eyes as red as fresh blood.

Although described by Zhong Doudou as extremely dreadful, they seemed merely curious, not intending anything good.

However, they had little courage, and after seeing the scene above Dragon Marsh, they all quickly retreated their heads, all expressing their concerns.

"Gugu… Did I see wrong? That young master Duobao, did he really subdue that nine-headed turtle dragon from the depths of the marsh overnight? And took back the Spiritual Resonance Water Mansion?"

"No mistake, I saw clearly too; that turtle dragon looked so pitiful, having lost a head."

"Wasn't it said that this young master Duobao only has Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation? How did he accomplish this?"

"Oh no, oh no, he's looking this way, let's run, don't let him catch us."

"Gugu… run quickly, although we have backers, his backers aren't small either. What if he has a nasty temperament and captures us to torment us, it would be unsightly."

"Just by looking, this young master seems fierce, even the Jiushou Dragon King was beaten so miserably, if we're caught, we might even get plucked."

"Gugu… agreed!"

Several Nursing Woman Bird Demons exchanged words.

They quickly established the consensus: Tao Qian was a fierce person; run.

Having decided this, they turned to flee.

But just at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared before them, solidifying from translucent form, it was the handsome and Daoist-charming young master Duobao lineage, Tao Qian.

Just as Tao Qian appeared, the Nursing Woman Birds screamed in unison, intending to scatter and escape.

However, soon, they all heard an extremely pleasant sound that completely calmed them and even made them feel favorably towards Tao Qian.

"Ladies, please look at me. Do I seem like the fierce type?"

"Ascending Immortal Island was actually a gift from Aunt Yunhua. Last night, I negotiated with Mr. Jiushou; he has decided to return the Water Mansion to me and will cultivate together with me, perfectly resolving the situation. It is a good thing."

"Right, I hear you ladies know everything."

"I am new here and urgently need some guidance from you ladies."

"Why not come back to the Spiritual Resonance Water Mansion with me for a drink and meal, how about it?"

After Tao Qian finished speaking,

It was unclear whether it was the effect of his beauty trap, the effect of his subtle release of Spirit Sound Technique, or mentioning the key phrase "know everything" that itched just the right spot for these Nursing Woman Birds.

Initially frightened, after a low murmuring, they happily agreed to follow Tao Qian back to the Water Mansion.

During this process, Tao Qian kept asking questions and the Nursing Woman Birds kept answering.

These female demons indeed knew much about Spirit Treasure Sect Mountain Gate and various secrets in the Penglai Sea, as Zhong Doudou had said.

Although Zhong Doudou also knew quite a lot, his knowledge was not specialized.

Tao Qian impulsively wanted to deepen his understanding of the sect; only with the help of these Nursing Woman Birds was it possible.

...

Inside the Spiritual Resonance Water Mansion in the deep marsh, indistinct from a dwelling of immortals, a small banquet was underway.

At the banquet, Little Age, Lian Jing'er, and Shan Jiu were enjoying themselves thoroughly, ignoring everything else.

The newly acquired servant, Jiushou, seeing his many years' hoard of treasures falling into the hands of the Crystal Demon Girl, vented his excessive grief by taking it out on a group of Dragon Species Clan, pretending it was to train a capable water army for Master.

Zhong Doudou was busy chatting with Mermaid Sha Nu'er, the two women whispering together, secretly speaking ill of the Nursing Woman Birds.

These latter were the focus of the banquet.

Guided by Tao Qian, they chatted non-stop, spilling many secrets of the sect.

Their reputation was indeed spotless; any question Tao Qian asked related to the sect was answered in great detail.

At one point, Tao Qian asked about the True Disciples of the Spirit Treasure Sect.

Hearing this, the Bird Demons all puffed their chests; one with a blue tuft of hair spoke up:

"Let young master know, apart from you, there are currently seventeen True Disciples in the sect. Just waiting for the True Disciples Convention to arrive, then their status can be confirmed."

"You mentioned receiving a letter from Master Yang Jie, but young master might not know—though Master Yang Jie is indeed very strong, rumored to be nearing the Perfect Transcend Mortality. Not only has he mastered many Divine Power Skills, but he also possesses an innate divine eye that can see through many illusions of this world, and can emit a terrifying divine light that destroys immortal and Dao bodies—extremely frightening."

"Even so, among all the True Disciples, Master Yang Jie is only ranked fifth."

"Oh? With Brother Yang's ability, only fifth?"

"Quickly tell me about the first four brothers and sisters."

Without a doubt, Tao Qian was a fine act to prop up a joke.

Upon hearing his rhetorical question, several Nursing Woman Bird Demons became even more eager, emitting cooing sounds subconsciously.

They then looked at each other and opened their mouths to speak one after another:

"This ranking actually circulates only in the shadows, and there has never been an actual fight; it is just said that many Elders also acknowledge it."

"Ranked fourth is Master Yu Chen, who is speculated to be slightly stronger than Master Yang Jie. Master Yu Chen is a disciple of the Wulinn Immortal, leading a group of female fairies from the Spirit Treasure Sect, with Fairy Yunhua at the forefront, followed by the Wulinn Immortal, who is proficient in many Divine Power Skills."

"It is said that she cultivates the 'Upper Pure Five Elders Red Book Jade Technique Marvelous Scripture' from the Great Book of Nine Classics. Despite the Wulinn Immortal's usual low profile, her combat power is extremely terrifying; even Aunt Yunhua dares not claim sure victory over her."

"Although Master Yu Chen has not formally started to cultivate the Five Elders Marvelous Scripture, he is already fully prepared. Not only has his cultivation reached Perfect Transcend Mortality, but it is also said that he has trained in thirteen types of Divine Power Skills, using fearsome Divine Powers to crush his opponents in combat, truly fierce and unmatched."

"Ranked third is the Golden Crow Fairy, whose mentor is Jintong Daoist, who also holds a very high position within the sect. However, the Golden Crow Fairy's fame is mostly due to her own efforts."

"Although she joined the sect very late, just a few years before the Young Master, before he arrived, she was recognized as the most talented. Even after the Young Master arrived, many Disciples of the Lingbao still considered the Golden Crow Fairy's talent greater."

"She was born with a Golden Crow Method Body and can incinerate anything in the world. More terrifying is that if the fairy could refine her pure blood lineage day by day, she might even achieve the ancestral return to obtain the Golden Crow Dao Body... At that time, she could at least reach the Daoist Transformation Realm."

"It is said that Jintong Daoist is currently worried about which cultivation technique to choose for the fairy."

At this point, one of the Nursing Woman Bird Demons said, Tao Qian's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Not only did he urgently want to know who were recognized as the first and the second true inheritors inside the Spirit Treasure Sect Mountain Gate, but he also wanted to know the complete ranking.

He was quite sensible and did not ask these bird demons about their own rankings.

No need to ask, the result was obvious: as many true inheritors there were, that's the rank Master Tao would hold.

The reason was simple!

Out of eighteen true inheritors, all were in Transcend Mortality Realm.

Only he, a mere Foundation Establishment little cultivator, stood alone at the very last.

Of course, Tao Qian's strength was far beyond just Foundation Establishment.

But now, after hearing all this, he wouldn't arrogantly assume he could break into the top few ranks.

Other than anything else, there was Brother Yang, born with the Innate Divine Eye, over whom Tao Qian had no confidence in winning.

As for Master Yu Chen and the Golden Crow Fairy?

"If all techniques are deployed, even using the Buddha Bird Relics, perhaps he could last quite a while."

"But as for the actual result, it needs to be fought over to be known."

Such thoughts flitted through Tao Qian's mind.

Finally, it was the turn of one Nursing Woman Bird Demon, who excitedly continued cooing, then loudly exclaimed:

"It's my turn now, Young Master, look at me."

"The second-ranked true disciple is Master Yan Demon, whose mentor is Shifang Immortal Master, whose position within the sect is unique, being one of the attendants to the Sect Master, and even higher and more mysterious than Duobao Lord and Fairy Yunhua. Even we dare not pry into Shifang Immortal Master's secrets."

"As for Master Yan Demon himself, he is indeed special as one of the true disciples who has had the most troubled path. It is said that he started in the Mortal World as a general, but due to problems with his life chart, causing all his relatives and friends to die out, driven by grief, he entered the Demon Path."

"Later, even more unexpectedly, he gained some inheritance from the Evil Sect, a major Demon Sect quickly making a name for himself, able to fight with major sect disciples as a Loose Cultivator and not fall behind."

"It is said that later when the Evil Sect took notice of him, to snatch him back, Shifang Immortal Master even invited the Sect Master to grant a Immortal Sword, slashing an Elder of the Evil Sect from tens of thousands of miles away."

"After entering the Mountain Gate, Master Yan Demon's Evil Sect technique was not abolished, indeed he was even allowed to freely choose Demon Dao Skills from the Scripture Hall, driving them with the Spirit Treasure Root Skill, following the Dual Cultivation of Dao and Demon, unmatched in combat power."

"Master Yang Jie had once battled with Master Yan Demon, Master Yang Jie created a blood hole in Master Yan Demon's body with the Divine Eye Light, but was then dragged by Master Yan Demon directly to Sea Eye Town for several hours, eventually Master Yang Jie conceded."

...

As this Nursing Woman Bird Demon chirped on,

Not only did Tao Qian gulp down his joy, but the attention of others at the gathering was also drawn.

Zhong Doudou, who had been continuously irked by these shameless bird demons, at some point found herself propping up her chin, listening avidly.

After listening, she even exclaimed directly:

"Wow, you stinky bird demons, you really know a lot."

"Come on, I'll tell who is the first-ranked,

you fill in the rest of the secret tale."

Having interjected, Zhong Doudou was just about to reveal who was privately acknowledged by the Lingbao disciples as the first true heir.

But at that moment, a voice filled with terrifying mana, suddenly piercing through the Dragon Marsh Forbidden Technique, directly sounded inside this Water Mansion:

"Is my nephew Tao Qian here?"

"Daoist Alcohol and Meat, Li Changle, has come to visit, please, nephew, come out to meet."

When this voice arrived, Tao Qian immediately raised his eyebrows, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Of course, he knew who Daoist Alcohol and Meat was.

Just yesterday, they had met.

What Tao Qian wondered was; why would this former Emperor of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty, his Alcohol and Meat Uncle, suddenly come to find him?
