Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 111 - 103: Tao Qian wants to employ a comprehensive strategy and succeeds in refining the Corpse Demonic Sky Demon Elixir_2

"Just using this worm comes with an extremely horrifying price,"

"The user must first nourish the Corpse Evil Worm with their own Divine Soul, enduring agony beyond common torture. Afterwards, when planting this worm into another Life, it must be willingly consumed; if detected and met with rejection, the Evil Worm will instantly perish... If successfully implanted, though it's possible to manipulate the Insect Puppet, both parties will have their Divine Souls interlinked, sharing life and death."

"I can waive all the costs, the only problem is how to make these Demon Lords willingly swallow down the worm."

Tao Qian sat cross-legged in the quiet room, staring at two things in front of him.

In his mind, inspiration flickered intermittently.

Although by now, he actually had some confidence.

For example, he could use intimidation to make a Substitute Demon, Star Zha Demon, sign the Demon Contract, with a likely chance of success.

But Tao Qian always felt there was a better way, tantalizingly out of reach.

"Willingly... intimidation and enticement... control and manipulation..."

"Boom!"

In an instant, that inspiration completely exploded.

Tao Qian, acting on a thought, actually commanded the Puppet Body within the Iron Buddha Temple to return to the quiet room.

Then, he directly opened the Exotic Fire Elixir Scroll obtained from the Wild Leek Demon "Shan Jiu," flipping to the last page, searching for the Elixir recipe called "Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Pill."

Upon closer inspection, indeed within those few lines, he found the information that made Tao Qian reveal a look of joy.

"Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Pill: Use an Outer Realm Demon as the main ingredient, refine it with Outer Heaven Flame Essence into a Blood Elixir, enhancing Divine Soul energy and blood. It contains Elixir poison, harmful to Human Cultivators, but for Outer Realm Demons, this poison is a substantial tonic; even high-level Heavenly Demons, upon scening the poison's aroma, will flock to it like ducks to water."

"I've got it!"

A very complete plan suddenly came to Tao Qian's mind.

Without any hesitation, he immediately began to cultivate according to the "Exotic Fire Elixir Scroll."

The scroll was seriously damaged, but luckily the fundamental Magic Skill remained, and the Cultivation process was extremely simple.

"If this works, it will be a great strategy to command and use the Demon Lords."

"If not, I can resort to plan B; there's always a guarantee."

With a thought, Tao Qian entered meditation once more.

Still on the Spirit Platform, the Innate Dao Seed had just leapt into Tao Qian's Primordial Spirit, and a massive gate opened of its own accord in front of him. The terrifying suction force that surged from within wrapped around Tao Qian's Divine Soul and dragged him into the gate.

Boom!

Upon entering the gate, which was an unknown place in the Outer Realm, Tao Qian's Primordial Spirit had no time to observe the surroundings, as his field of vision was entirely overwhelmed by an endless, terrifying Flame capable of searing and destroying the entire world.

Tao Qian was utterly convinced that if these Flames truly were to incinerate his Divine Soul, even if his Cultivation Realm skyrocketed to Cavernous Mystery, Ultimate Happiness, or even Daoist Transformation, it would be utterly meaningless.

Other than death, there would be no other outcome.

Until the next moment, he violently shivered.

Once again, an unimaginable power surged from within his Divine Soul, completely enveloping his Primordial Spirit and merging him into the world of Flames.

He was not dead nor harmed, but to Tao Qian's disappointment, he did not see the so-called "Outer Heaven Flame Essence."

Just as he was wondering if he had not been recognized and was not compatible with this Cultivation Technique, and that he might have to use his backup plan,

suddenly, the Flames in front of Tao Qian rapidly converged.

In a daze, Tao Qian saw it.

He saw a sun that filled the entire world, formless, constantly twisting, surrounded by countless tiny spheres of light.

The original dark Outer Realm was now illuminated by this red light as if it were daytime.

Tao Qian felt as if he had reached outside the Nine Heavens, coming face to face with the legendary "Sun Star."

Before Tao Qian could do anything, he saw those clearly lively tiny spheres of light surge towards him like a tidal wave, an ocean.

In an instant, they enveloped Tao Qian within.

Yet he did not feel any harm, only heard all kinds of chirping and chattering.

These sounds were filled with curiosity, friendliness, and an inexplicable fondness.

It was this outcome that left Tao Qian's Primordial Spirit overjoyed, unable to resist touching those light spheres and then he exclaimed aloud,

"This skill is fated to be mine!"

"I'm only regretful that I've practiced it too late."

"But it's not too late, not too late at all, just right."

...

Some tens of breaths later, it was still that Spirit Platform Secret Acupoint.

Tao Qian's Primordial Spirit, holding the Dao Seed, left it exposed without any reservation, allowing the fragrance of the Dao Seed to permeate the Outer Realm.

Seemingly unaware, inside his seemingly crystal-clear spirit platform, dozens of Outer Realm Heaven Demons had already hidden themselves.

Although half were lowly inferior demons, there were plenty of demon leaders ready to stealthily make their move to snatch the savory body of this Human Clan Cultivator and that even more desirable Innate Dao Seed.

Unfortunately, it was at this very moment.

Tao Qian's Primordial Spirit, which had been meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

The instant he closed the Secret Acupoint with a thought, he also revealed a smile to the group of demons in front of him, "Gentlemen, you've traveled far and wide, I should have given you some time to use your tricks, but I'm pressed for time and must send you on your way immediately."

Before the sound of his words had faded, a Nine True Spirit Sound was expertly cast.

After freezing those dozens of demon leaders, Tao Qian did not use the Secret Demon Refining God Seal to pound them into sugar pills, nor did he force them to merge to extract their Cultivation Techniques.

Instead, he unexpectedly whistled, and in the next moment, the dozens of Outer Realm Heaven Demons that were forced to reveal themselves and were frozen stiff were scared witless.

They watched with their own eyes as this Human Clan Cultivator, supposed to be merely at the Qi Refining Realm, within his empty spirit platform, suddenly has flames rise eerily from all directions. Startlingly, these were numerous tiny, life-like, red-light fire globes comprising the formation, which faced the various tricks of the Human Clan Cultivator without any concern, scaring leaders of demons so much that their demon thoughts burst and they momentarily broke free from the Spirit Sound's bind.

Unfortunately, the area had already been filled with Exotic Fire.

Aside from wailing, the demon leaders could do nothing else.

A few moments later, within the quiet room, Tao Qian opened his eyes.

Before him hovered a pill about the size of an infant's fist, black and red interlaced, with the suffering faces of dozens of demon leaders emerging on its surface, incessantly exuding Demonic Qi and even demon thoughts – a bizarre Elixir.

"The Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Pill is complete."

Tao Qian looked at the Elixir before him, smelling the aroma it emitted, and forcefully resisted the urge to consume it.

Suddenly, he reached out, but instead grabbed a Bronze Tripod filled with "Corpse Evil Worms" on the side.

The tripod already had Forbidden Techniques in place, ensuring there would be no danger.

With a flicker of Divine Thought, Tao Qian seized a Corpse Evil Worm, and with a familiar shudder, he completed the feeding and averted the associated cost.

He then carefully brought the Corpse Evil Worm close to the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Pill.

After that, he began to wait.

The Evil Worm could sense Tao Qian's Divine Soul intent; it swam around the Elixir, drawing nearer and nearer.

One breath!

Two breaths!

Three breaths!

On the fourth breath, the Evil Worm suddenly exploded and reassembled, its body twisting. In the flash between Reality and Illusion, it successfully burrowed into the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Pill.

With the occurrence of this scene, an irrepressible look of joy spread across Tao Qian's face.

This time, it was truly complete.

ps: This part of the story is supposed to be thrilling and perfect, but it's a bit long, I can't finish it staying up all night, so I'll move the second update to tomorrow, directly make up for it with three updates to finish this section, and lay the groundwork for entering an even greater climax.
