Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 282 - 206: The 18th True Inheritor is called by surname, Tao Qian receives the Scripture of Salvation.

Spirit Treasure Sect on Penglai Island, in front of Biyou Palace.

At this moment, the rare spectacle of Ten Thousand Immortals standing tall and Divine Beings converging was taking place.

On the Green Jade Square stood a group of Spirit Treasure Disciples. At a glance, there was not a single mediocre commoner to be seen; each one was extraordinarily handsome, whether from the Human Clan or an Alien Species, and all were in high spirits.

Around them were Floating Islands of Honor, belonging to those Elders of Spirit Treasure Sect — masters of Immortal Islands and Daoist Fields who had cultivated the Spirit Treasure Skill for many years and had profound Dao Heng and Divine Powers.

Tao Qian had seen them all before: the Whale Fishing Old Man, Riding Deer Immortal, young maidens, hair demons, Glazed Immortals, Red-eyed Children, Barbaric Giants, and the Goddess of Gu Huo Mountain... and so on, all were present.

What defines a grand assembly? This was it.

It was hard to imagine the effect if a Demon suddenly barged into this scene of Ten Thousand Immortals gathered.

Tao Qian was now exactly that bit of indiscretion, a Demon causing quite the stir.

Luckily for him, his reputation had risen sharply as the leading Disciple of the Duobao Lineage. He'd held the Immortal Peach Banquet and distributed Golden Ingots. Whether it was the ordinary Disciples or the numerous Elders, most of them had seen him and heard of him, and that's what saved him from the fate of being besieged by Ten Thousand Immortals.

Yet many Spirit Treasure Disciples looked at him, sensing the strong Immortal Slaying Sword Intent about him and muttered in their minds:

"What is Master Tao up to?"

"He might have refined some New Divine Power and can't quite contain the aura, right?"

"Senior Brother Tao is indeed frightening with such a terrifying Sword Intent. It almost scared me witless. If Senior Brother Tao were to strike me with his sword, I'm afraid I would lose my life."

"Master Tao Qian hasn't been in the sect for long, and though he's already the top Disciple of Duobao True Monarch, a prestigious identity with incredible talent, he's still so diligent. The True Inheritor assembly is drawing near, yet he doesn't forget to refine his Magic Skills and Divine Powers — truly a role model for us all."

Of course, Tao Qian himself could not perceive these thoughts.

After causing a brief stir, Tao Qian, under a host of doubtful and curious eyes, took his place among the True Inheritors.

"This time I've really lost face, Yuan Gong set me up," Tao Qian inwardly exclaimed as he took his position.

Other True Inheritors also looked toward him. Compared to ordinary disciples, their sharpness was much more lethal.

With just one glance, they discerned the unusual reason for Tao Qian's state.

The first to speak up was none other than Slaughter Master Wei, Brother Wei of Master Yan Demon, whose cultivation included Dual Cultivation of Dao and Demon, and who practiced the unique methods of the Evil Sect.

After glancing at Tao Qian, he revealed a hint of surprise before speaking:

"Immortal Slaying Sword Intent!"

"The Secret Demon Sect has a terrifyingly powerful Sword Technique called the Secret Demon Sacrifice Body Sword, consisting of nine moves, each targeting a different group of adversaries. Together, they encompass everything, capable of slaying anything between heaven and earth."

"However, this Sword Technique is extremely difficult to learn. I did not expect my Junior Brother to have such talent in the Sword Dao. With this move mastered, in the future facing other cultivators of the Daoist Sect, Junior Brother's sword can be considered the ultimate Killing Device."

Brother Wei's words immediately drew a host of astonished gazes toward Tao Qian.

At the same time, it cleared up the confusion of the many Spirit Treasure Disciples on the square, and incidentally, they praised Tao Qian.

Simultaneously, Master Taixuan Xuu Xun Brother, the leading figure among them, nodded at Tao Qian and also smiled, saying:

"I've also heard of that Sword Technique. Since Junior Brother is able to master Immortal Slaying, surely the Demon Cleansing, Demon Suppressing, Slaying Strange, and Destroying Buddha techniques won't be difficult either. In not too many years, our Spirit Treasure Sect will gain an additional Slaughter Master."

After Xuu Xun finished speaking, other True Inheritors like Yang Jie, Huang Zhen, Ma Yuan, and so on also took turns jokingly speaking up.

Now the square was filled with a large number of Disciples, unprecedentedly complete.

Many had known in advance of the harmonious atmosphere among this generation's True Disciples, while others were witnessing it for the first time.

Especially some Disciples from the more distant Qingping Island were surprised by this scene.

They had thought that Tao Qian, who had only achieved Foundation Establishment Realm and gotten the position of a True Inheritor "by a fluke," would cause dissatisfaction among the other True Inheritors.

If they weren't fighting outright, they were expected to harbor some ill will.

But the conversation and atmosphere at this moment obviously did not fit that scenario.

For a while, this provoked some discussions.

However, everyone knew the strong cultivation of the True Disciples. Even if they whispered, they could still be heard clearly, so no one dared to speak recklessly in public, while in private, they exchanged Divine Thoughts with acquaintances to inquire about secrets.

The twists and turns involved were hardly a secret and were quickly clarified.

Along with this, the Divine Powers currently held by Tao Qian, now the last among the True Inheritors, were also revealed, once again triggering astonishment.

"Master Tao saved Elder Xuu Xun's life?"

"Truly an extraordinary person doing extraordinary things! Although Senior Brother Tao's cultivation time is short and he's only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he already possesses a combat power comparable to the Cavernous Mystery Realm. Even the difficult Sword Technique like the Secret Demon Body Sword Technique, he easily mastered."

"In the future, once Senior Brother Tao enters the Cavernous Mystery Realm, perhaps he could even contend with the Ultimate Happiness Realm."

"I said it long ago, the Second Generation Ancestor's Prediction Skill is famous throughout the world. If he didn't know that Senior Brother Tao is a true Talent, why would he have gone out of his way to specially lead him into the sect?"

"How ridiculous that some with impure thoughts and an unruly nature once looked down on Senior Brother."

...

Tao Qian didn't expect that while he had suffered a social death due to the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, he would regain honor in this same aspect.

Although he was reassured by his sect mates' high regard, listening to too much flattery was also awkward.

Fortunately, soon, in the next moment.

In front of Biyou Palace, a sudden outpouring of Spirit Light descended, and a dozen figures appeared all at once. Each was radiating Immortal light with astonishing cultivation, including Duobao True Monarch, Xuan Yuan True Monarch, Yunhua Immortal, among others. The highly esteemed Elders took their respective honored places.

Only Duobao stood in the very front, and with the Sect Master and all the Second Generation Ancestors being in the Outer Realm, he was the acting principal of the Spirit Treasure Sect.
