Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 152 - 138 Beautiful Corpse Skin, Three Calamities Vitality_2

The Beautiful Corpse's devil body was forged from the flesh and blood of numerous Evil Cultivators, mundane soldiers, and Demons, hammered and refined by the secret techniques of Buddha, Demon, and Devil.

It could be said to be the epitome of terror, yet also uniquely wondrous.

But who could have anticipated?

Such a devil body, in the eyes of Bai Qin, became an excellent treasure medicine for nurturing the myriad Bird Demons.

Tao Qian was rooted to the spot, digesting the relics, suppressing the wild Demon nature within, while also watching the Bird Demons begin their rampage.

A Pig Demon, drooling saliva and with bloodshot eyes, barreled into the intestinal walls of the Beautiful Corpse, opening its gaping maw to swallow everything whole, whether foul or tasty, the Pig Demon did not differentiate between the flavors, anything that entered its belly immediately became its nourishment.

Then there was the Ape Demon, unruly and wild, charging at the spine of the Beautiful Corpse, breaking and dismantling the tough backbone as a gourmet would savor a large bone, tapping the bone and sucking the marrow, delighting in the feast.

Another sight was the Elephant Demon, whose trunk searched the Muddy Nether River and with shrill cries, it absorbed the corrosive poison water that could deteriorate all things, leaving not a drop behind.

There was also a Poison Demon, emitting a soul-shattering shriek, flying straight to the skull above, its cruel eyes clearly fixated on the Beautiful Corpse's brain marrow.

Aside from these, Tao Qian saw the Snake Demon wrapping around the heart, the Alligator Demon devouring the liver, the Cow Demon consuming the lungs, the Sheep Demon biting the gallbladder...

Tao Qian had never imagined he would witness such horrifying scenes unfold.

Furthermore, in a certain sense, it was all because of him.

"The once invincible, who terrorized the mountains, effortlessly overpowering Master Xiao along with many of his peers—the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, who did not hesitate to defect from Guanyin Temple, nor to conspire with Tang Xianzong, and ultimately forged the Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Ming King Dharma Form, is now being nibbled away piece by piece by these hundred Bird Demons."

"The Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva was originally a prodigy, she might have attained Dao, become a Buddha, and been revered as an ancestral figure."

"Unfortunately, she met a more ruthless Old Demon, and her defeat was utterly complete."

Tao Qian, witnessing this shocking scene, watched the Beautiful Corpse slowly empty out, leaving behind only a husk of skin.

Thoughts swirled in his mind.

But at the same time, Tao Qian also continuously emitted painful howls, enduring the erosion of extreme demonic natures.

During this process, Tao Qian began to harbor all sorts of desires and impulses—he wanted to shed this weak human body, he wanted to eat human flesh, drink human blood, he desired women, he wanted to violate the precepts, to recklessly commit all the taboos under heaven, he wanted to ravage the land, to destroy everything... before him, Bai Qin was watch with great interest.

Tao Qian's body was not just distorting and his features becoming fierce, but also his eyes lost all their clarity and brightness.

In their place emerged crimson and desire.

Watching such a Tao Qian, Bai Qin seemed to see his former self.

Until the next moment, suddenly, Tao Qian shuddered violently several times.

The blood disappeared from his eyes, Tao Qian regained clarity.

At the same time, those delayed secret Record thoughts in his mind were sorted out:

[Record Type: Bai Qin Relics.]

[Record Type: Alien.]

[Record: These are relics left by the Bai Qin Elder, who used Buddhist law to refine Bird Demons, then from Demon to Buddha, he turned to Cultivate Great Freedom Dharma. It's just that he had committed great sins in the past, thus spawning boundless fixations which allowed demonic thoughts to invade his True Spirit, going into a state where Buddha and Demon combined. The relic contains hundreds of Bird Demons; although they haven't consumed blood or Essence Qi for cultivation in many years, they were nourished day and night by Bai Qin with Buddha Nature and thoughts, converting to the protector Vajra cultivation path, simply waiting for the Demon Seeds to be eradicated so that the hundred Buddha Bird Vajras can immediately come to be.]

[Note One: Since the source of the hundreds of Bird Demons is from the people of Southern Yue, to refine them, one must also require the Human Dao Destiny from Southern Yue, and it must be the Fortune that has survived great calamities.]

[Note Two: Bai Qin's original body has already passed away and reincarnated, there are no Divine Souls or True Spirit Imprints within this relic, it is only controlled by a residual Buddha Light Illusion left by Bai Qin and its same-origin Demon Thought.]

[Note Three: Anyone who consumes this relic can temporarily gain the combat strength of the Bai Qin Demon, being able to command these hundred Bird Demons to possess and fight, but it comes at the cost of their body, mind, and soul all undergoing demonic mutation, and they will quickly merge with the Bird Demons to become a new Bai Qin Demon, wreaking havoc upon the world.]

[Note Four: It is possible to avoid the cost of demonic mutation! Only within a hundred days, each day one's body will develop another characteristic of the Bird Demons... This cost can also be sanded away by Immortal Spiritual Qi, it can be gradually exempted by the Taishang Treasure No-leak Body.]

Tao Qian came to his senses and when he saw the fourth annotation,

a critique nearly escaped from the depths of his heart: it's no wonder that he was predicted by Bai Qin to be the one with destiny.

In fact, within the Southern Yue, the most suitable candidate to be the "host" for the Bai Qin Relics would indeed be himself, Master Tao Da.

However, soon after, his gaze unexpectedly fell upon the second annotation.

An irresistible inspiration bubbled up from within his heart.

"Vitality!"

Although Tao Qian still did not understand its meaning, inexplicably, whether it was his intuition or an impulse from the Spirit Treasure No-leak Body, both seemed to lock onto this annotation.

There, the Three Calamities Vitality lay.

Just as Tao Qian's thoughts were racing frantically,

he saw that he actually suppressed the demonic nature so easily without mutating into a new Bai Qin Old Demon, the old fellow in front of him who resembled a high monk first showed a surprised expression.

Then, with great joy, he smiled and said,

"Amitabha!"

"If it were another Cultivator, even if they were at the level of Cavernous Mystery or even Ultimate Happiness, it would not be possible to suppress the demon nature in the relic so effortlessly."

"Benefactor, you managed to do it in just two or three breaths, can the Taishang Treasure No-leak Body truly be this wondrous?"

"However, this also affirms that the poor monk hasn't chosen wrongly, and the benefactor indeed is my person of destiny."

"After the poor monk escapes this calamity and returns, there must be a great reward."

These few words made Tao Qian immediately cast a look of disdain in his direction.

Then, showing an impregnable anger on his face, while those Bird Demons were still gnawing on the Beautiful Corpse, he directly asked,

"Master, after you use this body of mine to resolve the calamity in Southern Yue, how will you manage to escape and return?"

"After all, you have previously stated that the real Bai Qin has long since found liberation through death."

"You are but a Buddha Light Illusion, even if the final outcome is as you have predicted, how can a mere illusion reap the fruits of victory?"

As if feeling that the matter was already settled, certain of victory,

upon hearing this direct inquiry about the secret, the old monk pondered for a moment and actually did not conceal the truth.

He pointed at the Round Light Illusion Mirror which showed a battlefield about to be ravaged and filled with terrifying devilish energy, and said directly:

"Well, to help the benefactor understand the escape from this calamity,"

"in the predictions by the poor monk, in just a dozen more breaths, Tang Xianzong will call upon the Devil God Origin to defeat the forces of Righteousness, including Li Daoist, and this realm will completely transform into a Demon Country."

"However, at the critical moment, the Bai Qin Old Demon will be reborn, using the [Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Needle] to kill Tang Xianzong, and then slaughter all the Demons and Devils on the field, saving the people of Southern Yue from disaster."

"However, that Old Demon's appearance will not be that of the poor monk, but... the benefactor's face!"

"After the deed is done, a surge of Human Dao Destiny will come forth, by then the relic will cleanse all Hundred Bird Demons within, and at the same time, will wipe away this illusion created from stubborn and demon thoughts."

"After leaving no trace, the Buddha Bird Relic will automatically head to Tuo County within."

"There lies the reincarnated body of the poor monk, entering the Relic, all cultivation restored, just in time to establish the 'Bai Qin Temple' lineage."

"With this explanation, is the benefactor satisfied?"
