Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 60 - 58: Spiritual Treasure Destiny Defining Fetus, Innate Dao Seed

Tao Qian threw the somewhat abnormal Shan Jiu to his three junior brothers and then entered the cultivation quiet room alone.

Ditching responsibilities was true, and needing to cultivate was also true.

It was just that the entity needing cultivation was not his puppet body, but his original body.

Whether it was the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva casually setting up the greatly powerful "Hundred Demon Embryo Blood Refining Array," or the scene of the Naked Saintess releasing endless red worms engulfing Iron Buddha Mountain, all deeply stimulated Tao Qian.

Power!

That was what Tao Qian needed most now.

Though he had successfully entered the Dao and was currently in the Energy-Introducing Realm, at the Blood Fusion Stage.

In terms of the realm reached corresponding to his cultivation time, Tao Qian was confident that he was definitely considered fast in the Cultivation World.

But what of it?

Whether the cultivators he currently encountered or the demons, except for the likes of the "Four Beasts of She County" who were not considered strong,

any one of them could instantly kill the current Tao Qian.

Tonight, he was in the Demon Cave, and everything he saw, heard, and felt

made his Qi within surge and unexpectedly gave rise to some inspiration.

Although he was merely a novice cultivator, with the enlightenment, he immediately knew that this state was most suitable for cultivation.

That's why he took the opportunity to leave the banquet, return to this quiet room, hang the sign and activate the forbidden technique set up by Nongyu Immortal Pan Hongniang for her beloved disciple.

As the Filth Blood Pearl completely integrated into the puppet body, even if his Divine Soul returned, he would follow his will and cultivate on his own; others definitely couldn't notice anything wrong, but the efficiency would be very low, after all, the difference between being willing and unwilling was huge.

Tao Qian himself didn't mind; he had intended to randomly manipulate this puppet body anyway.

...

In Chengyou Bookstore, Seeking Immortal County.

His Divine Soul returned, and in a dark compartment, the body of Tao Qian sitting in meditation immediately opened his eyes.

Although only most of a night had passed, the bizarre and chaotic scenes he had witnessed were too many; returning from the Demon Cave to the Mortal World made Tao Qian vaguely feel as if he had been transported to another era.

Feeling the gradually boiling Qi within, Tao Qian was not impatient.

Although he wanted to cultivate right there, he also knew that after last night's "incident," Seeking Immortal County was temporarily unsuitable as a place for cultivation.

Thus, Tao Qian stood up and left the bookstore.

It was the early morning, and if it were a normal day in Seeking Immortal County, it would present a thriving and beautiful sight.

However, now, in Tao Qian's view, everywhere there were broken walls and ruins; even though it had been a night of crying, the sounds of wailing still intermittently came.

One could even see many horse-drawn carriages passing through the streets, the drivers with numb expressions, and under the covered straw mats appeared arms or smashed heads; the streets were stained with blood traces, filths, and even some suspicious and unidentifiable chunks of flesh.

The remnants of blood Qi, demonic Qi, and Devil Qi mixed together, rising in various places in the county.

Under the sunlight, it appeared even more bizarre and foul.

How tragic!

How sad!

This was the scene left after the demons and Evil Cultivators had rampaged through.

Although last night in this county, there were groups of young cultivators from the Cultivation Sects, and thousands from the Demon Suppression Army stationed outside the city.

Sadly, they could neither prevent the invasion of the demons and Evil Cultivators nor even protect themselves.

Tao Qian also took action last night. Perhaps choosing the right target, he managed to save eight young maidens, killed an Evil Cultivator of Peach Blossom, and obtained an outer puppet.

But that was all he could do.

Silently observing for a few moments, the impatient Qi within him not only did not weaken but grew even stronger, seemingly about to burst forth.

Tao Qian could no longer restrain himself, quietly left the city, and found a secluded path heading towards Tiger Worry Gully.

Thinking it over, this was still the suitable place for cultivation.

At that gully, after carefully sensing and confirming there were no Transcendent alien objects nearby, Tao Qian leaped down.

He still used a large rock to block the entrance, crossed the puddle, and sat down on the dry high platform.

At this moment, the "Spiritual Resonance" within Tao Qian seemed as if it was going to leap out of his body, and with blessings coming to his mind, he didn't engage in any useless rituals or hesitate about which Cultivation Technique to use.

In such a crucial time, it was naturally the Basic Method.

Thus, Tao Qian directly closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and then immersed himself in chanting the Sublime Dharma "Spirit Treasure Nine Truths Diagram."

This method was in a thick volume, with every word and sentence having special implications, and if even one word was wrong, one would have to start over.

Even a genius could not complete a full chant in a short time.

But this time, Tao Qian truly gained inspiration; at the start of his chant, his mind and speech were somewhat slow, like he might mess up the words at any moment.

However, as the mysterious, Spirit Treasure Dao Rhythm-filled mnemonic was chanted by Tao Qian, the Spirit Treasure Source Qi within him seemed to find a mystical lure, like a great river, and began to surge along a mysterious path.

During the process, Tao Qian's body was continuously refined.

Various impurities and alien substances were cleared from his body.

Tao Qian felt more spirited and clear-headed, his mind's chanting gradually sped up, and towards the end, he even began to verbalize, emitting the Great Dao divine sounds, "Managing the celestial spine in the cavernous gate, the five Qi rotating the three subtleties. The purple portal exhales jade decrees, the golden gate absorbs divine radiance..."

As Tao Qian turned the virtual into reality, verbalizing the Dao sounds and nearing the completion of this full chant.

Suddenly, a loud "rumble" resounded by Tao Qian's ear.

In front of him, the light was dazzlingly bright.

Soft yet vivid Dao Rhymes spilled out from Tao Qian's body, above his head, it seemed as though a gate of the Great Dao had opened, and wondrous spiritual light poured down like a waterfall, which Tao Qian's surging Spirit Treasure Source Qi rose to meet fiercely.

When the two collided, Tao Qian felt the most wonderful and unimaginable sensation in the world.

He looked down slightly only to see himself seemingly transformed into a being of light.

It was as if every corner of his body, no matter how minute, was now filled with Spirit Treasure Source Qi.

Deep within Tao Qian's spirit, he suddenly realized, "I have succeeded, still in the Energy-Introducing Realm, but after the Blood Fusion Stage, today I shall enter the Fetus Stabilization."

No sooner had this thought occurred, Tao Qian sensed something and abruptly looked up.

Within the mystical waterfall of spiritual light, unbeknownst to him, a baby-fist-sized "Light Seed" had appeared, currently being supported by Tao Qian's own Spirit Treasure Source Qi and was slowly being absorbed into his body.

Tao Qian could not describe his feelings upon seeing the Light Seed. He only knew that it was extremely important to him, far more important than any magical skill or divine power he possessed.

In his mind, like the deafening sound of a great bell, eight characters thunderously resonated:

Innate Dao Seed!

Mystical and profound!

What followed was exhilaration from the depths of his soul.

When Tao Qian had initially switched to cultivating from "Spirit Treasure Nine Truths Diagram," it was not only because this basic method had a clear path forward. More importantly, if a cultivator from the Daoist and Buddhist Sects could successfully practice their methods, the "Special Ability" they gained would far exceed those from heresy and heterodoxy and those disreputable paths of evil demons and heretics.

Those lower basic methods might allow entrance to the Energy-Introducing Realm, or the Qi Refining Realm, but the swallowing and refining of mixed Source Qi could grant abilities like night vision or body odor, which were of little consequence.

However, the basic methods of the Daoist and Buddhist Great Sect could grant formidable divine powers.

The first threshold to gaining divine power was the "Fetus Stabilization Stage" of the Energy-Introducing Realm.

As the saying goes, once life is settled, divine powers will emerge.

Yet, Tao Qian had not expected the divine power he would gain to be this Innate Dao Seed, which was a surprise beyond belief.

"The diagram states that a Spirit Treasure Cultivator can obtain hundreds of varying divine powers during the Fetus Stabilization Stage, and these are divided into three grades: top, middle, and low."

"Like 'sweet rain' and 'riding cloud,' these belong to the low grade."

"Whereas 'Entering the Micro' and 'Refining Treasure' belong to the middle grade."

"And lastly, top-grade divine powers like 'Spirit Treasure True Eye' and 'Immortal Flesh and Bone,' which even the genius true disciples of the Spirit Treasure Sect Mountain Gate rarely obtain."

"The Innate Dao Seed is even rare among the top-grade divine powers."

"This divine power has no force of attack, but it possesses infinite wonderful uses and can be paired with 'Spirit Treasure No-leak Body', allowing one's cultivation to progress far beyond other cultivators."

"With this Dao Seed, it is enough to prove that Tao Qian's talent far surpasses ordinary people. In the future, he will certainly become a True Immortal, no, mere adherence to Daoist paths would not satisfy me. I should cultivate the Buddhist, Demon, and even the methods of heresy and heterodoxy as well, assimilating the essence of all paths, to forge what has never been before..."

These thoughts were reasonable at first, but when the last idea surged forth.

Tao Qian almost immediately changed expression, a sudden shock in his heart.

Then, gritting his teeth, he exclaimed word by word, "Outer Realm Heaven Demon."

No sooner had he spoken, an extremely bizarre scene unfolded in the cave, as a black lump suddenly swelled at Tao Qian's neck and then burst open with a bang, splattering fluid everywhere as a head with the same features as Tao Qian, but filled with malevolent evilness and a grimacing smile, emerged.

Its neck could stretch indefinitely, ignoring the surging Spirit Treasure Source Qi, it wrapped around Tao Qian, casting a greedy gaze at the "Innate Dao Seed."

It came face to face with Tao Qian, sneeringly said,

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

"Look at what I have found, an undefended, young Spirit Treasure Cultivator about to establish a Destiny Defining Fetus, yet ignorant of even this common knowledge."

"Such a foolish cultivator yet obtained an Innate Dao Seed, today, I reckon I am extremely lucky."

"Just by seizing your juicy, promising body, this demon might one day attain immortality and achieve the Dao, hahaha..."

This Outer Realm Heaven Demon, unknowable in origin or time of invasion into Tao Qian's body, was cackling wildly.

Suddenly, it sensed something amiss.

Normally encountering a "Body Seizing" attack, not just new cultivators, but even some Great Cultivators would experience some panic.

But the young fledgling in front of it showed no trace of fright in his eyes, only an icy coldness that terrified it.

Just as it was about to make its move and seize the body directly.

Out of nowhere, Tao Qian's voice emerged, "The notorious Outer Realm Heaven Demon seems not so clever."

This deeply insulting remark fell, followed by a mystical Dao sound that utterly froze its body and shattered its soul.

"Nine Heavens Truth, The Great Mystery!"

Like Situ Fei and other Evil Cultivators, suddenly facing an attack by Tao Qian's Nine True Spirit Sound, would instantly lose control over their souls.

And this pure Evil Demon would fare even worse.

After all, an Evil Cultivator still had a body to rely on; it was merely a soul and spirit.

Had it been one of the higher echelon Outer Realm Heaven Demons, it might have had means of resistance.

But it wasn't; it was just a lowly Heaven Demon that took advantage of weaknesses, possessing only the Body Seizing ability.

Thus, upon hearing the Dao sound, it felt an overwhelming Great Dao power ruthlessly destroy its soul and spirit, unable to struggle even for a moment before being annihilated.

All it could do, in its final moment before death, was to roar,

"Don't be smug, you deceitful human. The Innate Dao Seed is irresistibly tempting to us to the extent that it's unbearable. Even if you absorb it into your body, it will still exude its fragrDOWNLOAD SPACEBAR PRESSURESrance for three days."

"During these three days, you will be besieged by a group of demons. Without a Master to protect you, your wild cultivator's fate has run its course, you are undoubtedly doomed, hahaha..."
