Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 42 - 40: Shocking Secrets, Ancestor God Forbidden Technique

Seeing that he had piqued the interest of this group of Great Demons with just a few words, Tang Xianzong's date-red face showed an even thicker smile.

However, almost immediately, a Python Demon, whose upper body was human and lower body that of a python, clad in a black and red cloak, with a gloomy look in his eyes, suddenly hissed twice with his tongue.

Then, his narrow mouth split open, and in an extremely soft voice, he said, "General Tang, you surely aren't indulging in wild fantasies about having us help you rebel, are you?"

"If we were those lowly Magicians under your command, this might be feasible."

"But with our level of Cultivation, if we were to broadly enter the mortal world, I fear it wouldn't be many days before we'd automatically trigger that 'Ancestor God Forbidden Technique' and be obliterated out of the blue."

"It's been over two thousand years, which Demon or Alien Species would still fall for this?"

After the Python Demon spoke, he immediately resonated with the other Great Demons.

On the right, reclining in a wide chair, was a giant infant, filthy all over, with a broad nose, large eyes, and a mouth full of tusks, wrapped in a huge swaddle, attended by four plump maids, baring their breasts, and the voice that came out was rough and loud, shaking the cups and dishes at the banquet, clinking and clanging.

"That's right, Tang Xianzong, you should stop indulging in wishful thinking."

"As long as that Ancestor God Forbidden Technique exists, let alone us, even those who have become Immortals and Ancestors wouldn't be able to withstand the consequences of an Ancestor God Forbidden Technique and the opening of the Longevity Barrier—a soul scattered, all accounts settled."

After the giant infant had spoken, the rest of the Demons and Monsters nodded in agreement.

It was then that the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva suddenly became serious, staring intensely at Tang Xianzong, and hesitantly asked, "Is that true?"

Despite being questioned by the Demons, Tang Xianzong's face, as red as a date, showed no sign of annoyance. Seeing the Bodhisattva looking over and questioning him, this mysterious general who had emerged from the Devil God Army, revealed an extremely radiant smile.

Then, he revealed news that made all Demons and Alien Species, including the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, ecstatic.

"My friends, Bodhisattva, I understand your concerns."

"From the day two thousand years ago when the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty was established, this land was subjected to the so-called 'Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Ancestor God Demon Destruction Forbidden Technique,' which, once it senses a large-scale entry of Demons and Monsters into the world, automatically initiates various sized Longevity Barriers to obliterate rebellious Demons and Monsters."

"Even those powerful beings who have crossed the 'Daoist Transformation Realm' cannot withstand the force of that Forbidden Technique."

"This is why we Alien Species lack resources and cannot achieve Dao,"

"while the secret realms and source mountains of the world have been occupied by the Major Buddhist and Daoist Sects, or the millennium-old clans, making it difficult for us to oppose them after a lifetime of arduous Cultivation, oppressed for more than two thousand years."

"But now, the opportunity for change has come."

"I dare to guarantee with my life that the Ancestor God Forbidden Technique that has enshrouded this realm for over two thousand years has completely shattered, dissipating into the Chaos Abyss."

"The rule that Demons and Monsters cannot enter the world on a large scale... will be completely abolished."

"My friends, will you let go of such a heaven-sent opportunity to alter your fate?"

Tang Xianzong, who already held responsibilities over such matters of controlling minds and shaping souls within the Devil God Army,

And given the truly shocking nature of this news, no one in the hall could remain calm after he spoke.

Even the naked Terror Alien, resembling a Snow Woman, lit up in the eyes, which appeared like gemstones reflecting an endless array of fresh red worms.

"Tang Xianzong, this is truly a top affair in the world, sufficient to overturn the entire Longevity Heavenly Dynasty. What proof do you have?"

Among the crowd of demons, someone couldn't help but ask.

Tang Xianzong seemed already prepared for this question and immediately smiled again.

He picked up the wine cup before him, drained it in one gulp, stood tall, and burst out into a wild laugh:

"Proof?"

"Let me think, so much, indeed too much."

"The Ancestor God Forbidden Technique didn't shatter instantaneously; it began to weaken a hundred years ago, gradually revealing more flaws, then piece by piece it broke apart, until ultimately it completely vanished."

"Look at the current structure of the world."

"Have you heard of blond, blue-eyed Western Barbarians who have traveled from afar, bringing with them the pantheon of Western gods, beginning to encroach upon the territories of the Buddhist and Daoist Sects?"

"Have you heard about the various terrifying incidents erupting frequently on this land in recent days--blood moons, acid rains, meteorites and other calamities taking turns playing out?"

"Have you heard how that group of cowardly Imperial Family members who control the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty are presently making desperate overtures to recruit Buddhist, Daoist, and even Demon Sects as well as those several thousand-year-old clans, offering titles where titles are due, sending off a Prince here, even the Heterodox Sect Ten Thousand Infant taking the Third Prince as a True Disciple, and currently the young Emperor's father is causing a stir wanting to go to the Great Freedom Temple to become a monk?"

"If you have not heard of these, have you seen the sweep of my Devil God Army, along with the Taiping Peaceful Allies, ravaging the momentum across a dozen major provinces?"

"If that 'Ancestor God Forbidden Technique' were still in effect, would any of this have occurred?"

"You all know, the Longevity Barrier has actually always shrouded this land, and it targets not just us Demons and Monsters, but even if those vile Taoists and monks were to enter the world on a large scale, their fate would be the same, not to mention those Western false gods and demons."

"Going back hundreds of years, when they step into this realm, they would be stripped of their abnormal powers within a few hours, quickly weaken, and die abruptly."

"But now, all these things have happened."

When Tang Xianzong finished speaking, every Demon was stunned.

Then, all eyes emitted a terrifying, greedy light.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

It was as if the clouds that had been accumulating for many years dispersed in that moment, and they saw an extremely beautiful future.

Seeing that the moment was ripe, Tang Xianzong's smile grew even more brilliant, hammering down the final blow.

"Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, although you have just joined the Demon Buddha Temple, given your status, it won't be many days before the high monks of the Demon Buddha Temple will inform you of this matter."

"The rest of you are at a bit of a disadvantage, as your Cultivation is indeed much stronger than mine, but you don't have much of a backing. If it were not for my advantage of being born in the Devil God Army, it would also be hard for me to learn this secret beforehand."

"However, this secret couldn't be kept hidden for too long. The Imperial Family of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty and the high and mighty of various major forces knew it early on and began to strategize."

"As for the Forbidden Immortal Hall and several other more covert new government offices, they are the result of collaboration between the Imperial Family and various sects."

"The several major Daoist sects, over a dozen major Buddhist temples, and a few ancient clans... nearly all are in cooperation with the Imperial Family, working to strengthen the mundane army of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty with the dynasty's own deep-rooted resources."

"If we take action any later, even when those secrets are revealed, all we could feast on would be the remains and scraps."

As the last statement was made, nearly all the Devils present had made their decision.

"Let's do it!"

"General Tang, speak of the collaboration plan, how shall we distribute the Southern Yue territory among us?"

"I suggest we descend the mountain now. I cannot speak for the provincial city, but nearby Seeking Immortal County and Wending County alone, I could conquer by myself."

From cautious and timid to restless and eager.

The difference was in having General Tang Xianzong's words.

Seeing that all the Devils were hooked, Tang Xianzong resumed his seat, knocked on the wine table, and said in a deep voice:

"We have discovered that secret too late, a third of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty's army has already received the support of the Buddhist and Daoist clans, they are not as fragile as they were before."

"No to mention others, take the Governor of Southern Yue, Ji Xianxian, who not only introduced Western barbarian's magic artifacts into his large army on a large scale but also diligently practiced the 'Ten Thousand Buddha Town Magic Array' from Vajra Temple. Any of you, even the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, if trapped, it would take just a few hours before you would be grinded to death."

"Furthermore, within the Forbidden Immortal Hall are the disciples and elders from each sect; if they interfere, do you think we could still survive?"

After these remarks, the audience of Devils was stunned once more.

Unbeknownst to them, their emotions had been manipulated since they discovered that great secret by General Tang.

To fight or not to fight.

The Devils were all confused.

Until General Tang spoke again with a serious face:

"I want you all to know that our army already has a complete plan."

"The key point lies in Seeking Immortal County. Now, Governor Ji Xianxian of Southern Yue is searching for our army, wishing for a decisive battle to death."

"We deliberately show ourselves here, where many eyes increase the chance of our presence being leaked."

"Then, we'll find some pretext to harass Seeking Immortal County intensely, drawing the nearby army and the people from Forbidden Immortal Hall over. At that time, we'll openly set up our forces, using Seeking Immortal County as the battleground to counter them."

"Ji Xianxian, being a man fond of great achievements, will suspect that the Devil God Army aims to take this pivotal port city, and he'll bring forth a large force to exterminate us."

"Once he moves out, Southern Yue's provincial city will be empty. In less than half a day, our ambush-ready Devil God Army can capture the provincial city, using its population of tens of millions as a resource, easily swallowing the entire Southern Yue territory."

"By then, each of you will have greatly contributed, and the Devil God will surely reward you."

"From the Great Book 'Heavenly Demon Slaughter God Scripture,' apart from the Basic Method, you can all request the other supplementary volumes from the Devil God. If you are not willing to cultivate this method, the Devil God also promises that each of you will receive one personal teaching session, and the Devil God's treasure vault will also be opened to you all, each allowed to take one Exotic Treasure."

"I will be overseeing this matter, and your futures all rely on you now."

"General Tang Xianzong, my thanks."

As the words fell, this future son-in-law to the Devil Godess, in front of all the Demon and Monster present, performed a profoundly respectful bow.

About dozens of Demon and Monster, after hesitating a moment, all stood up and eagerly agreed.

Moved by Tang Xianzong?

Of course not, this group of Demon and Monster were clearly seduced by the hefty rewards promised by Tang Xianzong.

Furthermore, the future scene painted by the general was too wonderful, making it hard for them to control themselves.

The Python Demon, in an overexcited state, immediately shed its great mantle, revealing its monstrous true form and began to wriggle towards the center of the banquet, its upper body rising and starting to dance, as hallucinogenic gas, slightly toxic and causing immense joy to any living being, burst forth from beneath its scales.

The infant Demon laughed loudly, burying its head into the chests of four maids, squirming and sniffing wildly.

The Snow Woman exhibited thousands of holes on its surface, from which myriad fresh red tapeworms fluttered out, spreading a sweet and pungent exotic fragrance immediately.

A Wolf Demon, in one go, drank the contents of a dozen demi-human-sized wine jars, directly revealing its giant white wolf form, stood on the wine table, and howled at the moon.

An old man with a Yin Yang Dual Body smiled creepily, taking a Black Banner from within his robes and shaking it, instantly causing a torrent of demonic qi to rise, and hundreds of nude men and women flew out. They not only danced around the banquet but also publically demonstrated the Yin Yang Dao.

Thus, the high platform banquet had transformed into a scene of chaotic dancing among a multitude of demons, replete with stunning bodily displays, making everyone completely immersed.

Therefore, no one noticed that General Tang Xianzong, who orchestrated everything, was exchanging gazes with the "Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva."

Both flashes in their eyes revealed a smile, signifying a conspiracy had succeeded.

After shifting their gazes away, the Bodhisattva continued to instruct Master Hui Xin in her belly.

As for Tang Xianzong, after finishing a jar of wine, he thought to himself with a big laugh:

"Grand rewards?"

"Heh, achieving such a Great Plan as conquering an entire province, how could it be so rudimentary."

"You all are merely baits. If this plan succeeds, my great career as Tang Xianzong is foreseeable, hahaha."

In his exhilarated state, this general, having a body with unusual signs, suddenly smashed the wine jar and, imitating the giant infant, grabbed Sister Meng who was next to him, bringing his head close and starting intimate whispers.
