Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 195 - 160: Mastery of the Nirvana Freedom Mantra, Buddha Bird Vajra Captures the Alligator Dragon

Tao Qian had just settled in the Spirit Treasure Sect not long ago, and the elders had seen quite a few of him.

But those uncles and aunts were all powerful cultivators; having given him a welcome gift, they naturally wouldn't have much interaction.

Tao Qian considered that he needed some more time to get acquainted with the Spirit Treasure Sect.

Before getting acquainted, he would probably have to lead this group of juniors alone, and cultivate the land on this Ascending Immortal Island for some time.

It was unlikely that there would be any fellow disciples visiting, nor any discussions on the Tao or gatherings of any kind.

Yet, after hearing the "incident" mentioned by Zhong Doudou just now and seeing three figures leap out, Tao Qian immediately had a guess in his heart.

But then, in the next moment, inside this main hall.

There appeared a woman in a gorgeous gown with six fox tails behind her, charming and seemingly capable of captivating all beings; a youth in armor, with a strong and robust stature and a third eye on his forehead; and a middle-aged Daoist in a dark Daoist robe, with a treasure gourd hanging at his waist and holding a Money Sword, with a very kind face.

These three were all present in the form of phantasms, speaking in turn, the content of which fell into two categories.

One was the invitation issued by the "Fox Immortal" woman, who declared herself a registered disciple of Yunhua Immortal, and hearing that Tao Qian could only land at the simplistic and crude Cliff Sea Pavilion, she had invited Tao Qian to take up temporary residence in the Nine-tailed Cave Mansion on Qingqiu Immortal Island, to avoid the hardships of wind and rain.

The other two were even more courteous, claiming to be fellow disciples of Spirit Treasure Sect, and if help was needed in taking charge of the Cave Mansion again, they should just ask, and their brothers would certainly offer their full support.

After hearing this, Tao Qian could not help but show a look of amusement on his face.

At the same time, Zhong Doudou took the initiative to introduce:

"Young Master, she is Sister Bai Yao, indeed a registered disciple of Aunt Yunhua, and also the princess of that group of flirty foxes on Qingqiu Immortal Island. The other flirty foxes are no good, but Sister Bai Yao has a decent temperament. Don't be fooled by her enchanting appearance; she is still a virgin."

"The invitation for Young Master to stay, Sister Bai Yao would never manage to do that; it must have been those flirty foxes who coerced her into sending the message. Young Master, don't be deceived. Otherwise, you will be subjected to their absorbent ways, and they will beautify it as 'Yin Yang Harmony'—truly a shameless bunch of flirty foxes."

Having said these obviously biased words,

Zhong Doudou pointed to the other two figures, and again introduced in detail to Tao Qian:

"He is Yang Jie, the top disciple of True Monarch Xuan Yuan, who in the sect is only second in status to the Grand Master, and like Young Master, he took the place of a True Inheritor."

"Master Yang Jie has a very good reputation within the sect. He's very enthusiastic toward his fellow disciples. When he says he wants to help Young Master re-establish the Cave Mansion, it must be sincere."

"The other one is Wu Xinguan, of the same generation as Young Master, whose teacher was the temperamental Thunderbolt Immortal. After the Immortal perished outside, he began to settle on Qingping Island."

"With his talent for socializing, he has formed good Karma with many fellow disciples. His reputation in the sect is not less than that of Master Yang Jie; unfortunately, be it opportunity or strength, he did not manage to secure the position of True Inheritor... His offer to help Young Master must also be sincere, perhaps to form a good connection with Young Master."

After the girl finished her introduction, Tao Qian had not yet expressed any opinion.

He saw Zhong Doudou herself becoming so angered that her small face contorted, her four cute crystal corners faintly glowing red, stomping her feet and clenching her small fists, indignantly saying:

"Young Master, this must be those big mouths causing trouble."

"It hasn't been long at all, and yet it's already spread to Qingping Island."

"Other Immortal Islands are one thing, but Qingping Island is home to those wild Spirit Treasure Cultivators. Many of them are unruly by nature and won't care about Young Master's identity and status."

"Although it's highly unlikely they would send teasing Cloud Token Letters, by now, they must be speaking ill of Young Master behind your back."

"Ah, I'm even more disgusted with those Nursing Woman Bird Demons, and a fight is inevitable at some point, to vent my anger—Zhong Doudou's heartache."

Tao Qian could naturally grasp what the foolish Dou Dou could think of.

And moreover, he thought of more.

His thoughts swiftly shifted, directly pivoting towards Duobao Daoist and Yunhua Immortal.

However, Tao Qian seemed to be thinking of something else, casually smiling. He wrote a reply directly on those three Cloud Token Letters, then let them turn into beams of light and speed back along their path.

Subsequently, Tao Qian called Little Age and Lian Jing'er to his side.

He gave the Multi-pored Black Stone that held the "Taisui Qi Eating Scripture" and the "Creation Puppet Technique", as well as the Bronze Miniature, to the two youngsters respectively.

At the same time, he took out a large number of treasure bags from his own talisman seed, split them into two portions, and stuffed them into the two youngsters' arms.

Then he looked serious and instructed:

"When Xiao Hua Daoist entrusted you to me, you followed me for a period of hardship and struggle. Today, the trust is finally fulfilled."

"These two Sublime Dharma are just right for your cultivation. Together with the cultivation resources that have been accumulated in these treasure bags for a long time, you should be able to realize some of your talent and potential."

After saying these words, Tao Qian turned to Zhong Doudou and Shan Jiu.

These two slightly older ones seemed to guess that Tao Qian was preparing to do something, each looking at him eagerly.

Thus, they heard Tao Qian first say to Zhong Doudou:

"You stay in this main hall. If Cloud Token Letters still come today, you will reply for me. If the comer is friendly and courteous, you reply as such; if they come with teasing and ridicule, you will rebuke them on my behalf."

After speaking, Tao Qian turned to Shan Jiu.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the Wild Leek Demon with messy green hair first split into a grin, his mood suddenly greatly lifted.

He looked mysteriously joyful, showing a face that Tao Qian felt very familiar with, and waved his hand at him, saying:

"Daoist, no need to say more, you should go and cultivate now."

"Shan Jiu had already had a premonition that tonight there would definitely be a good harvest."

"The start has already begun, I just knew it, I, Shan Jiu, am indeed the cleverest Wild Leek Demon of Wild Man Mountain."

"Hehe, heheheh..."

Speaking incessantly, the Wild Leek Demon seemed to be completely immersed in its own world.

While chuckling, it drooled and squatted obediently to one side, propping its chin with both hands, looking very much like a fool daydreaming in broad daylight.

Tao Qian saw this, was startled at first, and then showed a thoughtful expression.

"It's a good omen indeed!"

After muttering this, Tao Qian led the two little ones straight to the secluded and quiet rooms deeper within the sea pavilion.

Having arranged for the two youngsters, Tao Qian had seen them eat before. Although there was now a "cultivation" process added, there really wasn't much difference, just more meticulous, so there was no danger.

Therefore, Tao Qian quickly sat down in a quiet room to meditate as well.

But he did not immediately begin to meditate and practice cultivation.

The reason was simple, the primary issue he was facing right now could not be solved by mere cultivation.

Especially since Tao Qian had only achieved Foundation Establishment not long ago, even with his talent, he couldn't possibly break into the Transcend Mortality Realm in a short time, and even if he did, it wouldn't be of much help.

"To take control of this island in one stroke, there is indeed a method for that."

"Although it's an alien item, as long as I can fully control it, it naturally counts as part of my combat power."

"It's just a matter of refining magic skills and treasures."

While his thoughts were in motion, Tao Qian suddenly flipped his hands and saw something round and plump lying in each palm.

Tao Qian's gaze first fell on what resembled a sludge ball, the "Buddha Bird Relic," and he nearly couldn't restrain his desire to snark.

A perfectly fine relic had been rendered so sticky by his master, quite disgusting. Tao Qian didn't believe his master had no other method to remove the connection between this relic and the Great Freedom Dharma. It must be Duobao Daoist's bad taste acting up.

Although he had just become a disciple not long ago, Tao Qian felt that both he and his master had already gained an understanding of each other.

After looking at the relic, Tao Qian turned his eyes to the mottled Buddha Beads.

In his mind, the Record formed:

[Name: Great Freedom Nirvana Divine Spell.]

[Record Type: Alien.]

[Record: This is a secret Buddhist incantation from the top-tier Great Book of the Buddhist Sect, the "Great Freedom Buddha Scripture." Although it is but a single Divine Spell, it has already captured the "Great Freedom Nirvana Truth." If one truly cultivates it, one can instantly receive the support of the Great Freedom Dharma, subdue all demons and control outsiders, and command any Buddha Treasure without obstacle... Years ago during the Daoist and Buddhist debate of laws, various scriptures were exchanged, and this spell was one of the Dharmas actively given to the Spirit Treasure Sect by the main temple of Great Freedom Temple.]

[Note one: This spell has no cultivation instructions, success does not follow any logic, and completely depends on karma; perhaps devoted monks may not succeed after years of hard work, while a beggar on the street might achieve it with a mere thought.]

[Note two: Once one cultivates this spell, whether or not one succeeds, an unavoidable affinity and curiosity towards Buddhism, and especially the Great Freedom Dharma, will develop. If one does succeed in cultivating this spell, one will immediately be sensed by the Great Freedom Temple... its functions have been erased by the Spirit Treasure Method.]

"Indeed, the Spirit Treasure Sect leaves no stone unturned, not giving the bald monks any chance. If they didn't have this trick up their sleeve, the Spirit Treasure Disciples would inevitably be coerced into becoming Buddha's sons."

Tao Qian sighed upon reading the second note.

This Divine Spell was specifically selected for him by the Pan Si Fairy, enabling him to perfectly utilize the Buddha Dharma method of the Buddha Bird Relic.

After looking at the Taisui Qi Eating Scripture and the Creation Puppet Technique, Tao Qian wouldn't doubt the astute discernment of Pan Si Fairy. Now after reading this Record, he was even more convinced.

"Well then, let's see if I, Tao Qian, truly have a connection with Buddha."

Having said this, Tao Qian suddenly crushed the mottled Buddha Beads.

Suddenly, the quiet room was filled with resonant Buddhism chants.

Within the surging Buddha Light, Tao Qian seemed to see Buddha himself arriving, in a posture of lying facing south, with the right hand supporting the chin, and a serene and comfortable demeanor.

Seeing this scene, Tao Qian couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name, and his body involuntarily took the same pose as the Buddha, making a Nirvana image.

Almost at the instant he assumed the Nirvana posture, the chanting and light that emerged from the shattered Buddha Beads didn't dissipate like bubbles but instead burrowed into Tao Qian.

In a daze, he, Tao Qian, became the Buddha.

Success!

Even Tao Qian himself hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

The Great Freedom Nirvana Divine Spell, which was viewed as extremely difficult by many Buddhist and Daoist cultivators, was so effortlessly mastered by Tao Qian.

At this moment, he revealed a smile of liberation and flicked his finger at the Buddha Bird Relic.

The previously silent relic immediately emitted ten thousand feet of Buddha Light, and within the Buddha Light, a full hundred Vajras of Buddha Birds materialized.

Every Buddha Bird Vajra radiated an extremely terrifying pressure.

However, at this moment, they all faced the Nirvana-posed Tao Qian, ready to receive the Buddha's command.

The next moment, Tao Qian's Buddha thought moved: "I need a Protecting Dharma Vajra to help me capture a Nine-headed Turtle Dragon."
