Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 235 - 180: A Treasure Hidden in the Strange Person’s Country, the Holy Embryo Washed in the Jade Purification Bottle_2
Tao Qian's mind was racing with this thought, and he also knew why he had never felt any impending danger.
The reason was simple.
Despite the towering stature of these giants and Long People with their massive bodies,
Tao Qian couldn't sense any powerful Transcendent Extraordinary Power. These strange people might all be unable to withstand even one of Tao Qian's Thunder Strike Techniques.

Still, even knowing this, Tao Qian remained vigilant in his heart.
His gaze immediately locked onto the third kind of person in the group.
This strange person was the smallest, and although they appeared quite portly, they were only slightly wider than the average Human Clan member.
They sat atop carriages borne by the Long People, fat and pale with especially thick thighs laden with flab and four arms.
The two massive lumps of white flesh on their chest made it hard to distinguish gender.
But one thing was certain: they had no heads.
Their breasts served as eyes, their navels as mouths.
At the moment, they gazed at Tao Qian with eyes at the top of their white flesh, filled with utmost respect and adoration.
As the group drew near, the familiar roar like the crashing of waves was heard once more.
This time, however, the script had changed.
"We welcome the Immortal to Holy Embryo Island!"
"We have calculated the hour, predicting that a Spirit Treasure Immortal would arrive soon, and thus began waiting in advance."
"Now, our wishes have indeed come to fruition."
"Please follow us, Immortal. We, the strange people, rely on the shelter of your Immortal Sect and have no way to repay you."
"We can only prepare some tributes every so often and present them to the Immortal upon your arrival."
"Please, Immortal, do not disdain them, nor decline."
Tao Qian wasn't particularly concerned with the so-called tributes. He looked directly at the headless flesh creature leading them and asked outright.
"Oh, are you the so-called Sea People Master they speak of?"
"Have you welcomed many an Immortal here?"
"Replying to the Immortal, we are indeed called the Sea People, dwelling on Holy Embryo Island for generations, welcoming numerous Immortals."
"This has become the rule of Holy Embryo Island. Receiving the protection of the Spiritual Treasure, it is only right that we give something in return."
"We are also aware that True Practitioners of the Spirit Treasure such as yourself are fond of Exotic Treasures and Book of Skills, so normally we try our best to search the seas and other Unrestricted Islands."
"It happens that the tributes we have prepared this time are the richest in history, including several Immortal Swords extremely sharp enough to cut through mountains and seas, all perfect to be presented to the Immortal."
"The tributes are in the palace inside Holy Embryo Mountain, where we usually dwell."
"The Immortal may follow us there."
As the headless flesh creature finished speaking, it turned and pointed towards a distant, unusually round and strange mountain.
It was barely visible that the entire mountain had been hollowed out; right now, treasure light surged inside, looking incredibly tempting.
Plus, the headless flesh creature's response provided a reasonable explanation.
For a tribe of strange people that typically lived in seclusion, detached from the world, this was no small feat.
Tao Qian had originally planned to grab one of the headless flesh creatures and directly probe for secrets.
However, the moment he saw that mountain, the thunderous throbbing in his mind made him change his mind.
He didn't even need the warning from his Abnormal Soul.
After taking a serious look, even with his current eyesight, Tao Qian could easily discern.
That Holy Embryo Mountain!
It was clearly an Exotic Treasure.
Despite the dimming effect brought about by a trace of Divine Treasure, the extremely vigorous Essential Origin Qi within, and the Sky-reaching Treasure Light that almost couldn't be concealed, all proved that the mountain was indeed a treasure.
Tao Qian didn't act hastily but nodded with a smile, seemingly genuinely moved by the tributes.
Riding the auspicious cloud, he followed the group toward Holy Embryo Mountain.
Passing through the cities and Divine Temples on the way, Tao Qian took a look and indeed saw all kinds of strange people living inside.
Each had their own role, orderly and regulated.
Yet, at the same time, the social hierarchy was extremely clear.
Especially when the headless flesh creatures passed by, all the strange people knelt down in submission.
After observing many details, myriad thoughts flooded Tao Qian's mind, but he showed no outward change of expression.
The group soon arrived in front of the mountain.
Ahead, the mountain's belly was spacious, with many palaces that were not luxurious but mixed primitive savagery with some ingenious designs, quite fitting for a nation with such a mix of strange inhabitants.
The strange people entered the mountain one by one, but they failed to notice Tao Qian behind them.
Unintentionally, he placed his palm on the mountain wall.
In that instant, the persistent throbbing in Tao Qian's mind found its mark.
The Record that made Tao Qian's eyes suddenly widen erupted forth.
After only a couple of glances, Tao Qian abruptly spoke out:
"Hold on!"
These two words made the headless flesh creatures that had entered the mountain belly rush back hurriedly.
The leading one, despite having no face, visibly had its belly wrinkled up in anxiety.
As it was about to say something, Tao Qian preempted it with a smile:
"I have had a peculiar habit since childhood; I do not enter caves when I come across them."
"Though the belly of your Holy Embryo Mountain is vast and large, it is plainly a cave before my eyes, one I neither wish to enter nor can enter."
"If you truly wish to present the tributes, why not bring them out for me to see?"
Hearing this, the headless flesh creatures were obviously baffled and stood there lost in thought.
Then, they huddled together and murmured among themselves before,
The leader stepped out again, folding its four hands, and said, "As the Immortal has commanded, we shall obey."
With these words, the so-called Sea People set off with the Long People back into the mountain belly, starting to fetch treasures one by one.
Some were small as pearls, some large as millstones.
There were minerals, alien items, dust-covered Magical Treasures, and even those carrying Cultivation Techniques in Spiritual Shell Stone Leaves.
