Longevity Chronicles

Chapter 91 - 86: Peach Blossom Spring, the Place of Retreat

In the warmth of a room filled with a strange milky fragrance, Master Xiao, who once fiercely battled the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, now wore a look of astonishment, uncommonly losing her composure a bit.

Tao Qian completely understood Master Xiao's thoughts at the moment, for the sinister plan she revealed was utterly beyond belief.

Therefore, Tao Qian did not respond further but instead took a step back and pointed to Hong Youhu, whose life and death were not his own, saying, "Master, please cast your spell; within his Divine Soul, there may be more secrets."

In fact, before Tao Qian even spoke, Master Xiao had already taken action.

With just a thought, the 'meatball-like' Hong Youhu began to float up; the merciless Master Xiao, devoid of any gentleness and filled only with killing intent, touched a point on his forehead.

"Infant Spirits Soul-

From Hong Youhu's memories, it could be known that the entirety of Southern Yue would fall into chaos and face great disasters. Only Seeking Immortal County and the provincial city, due to their different utilities, should maintain some order of peace before the final battle began.

As for what would happen to the provincial city after the final battle?

Even Tao Qian couldn't guess. He also couldn't offer better advice, such as fleeing to other major provinces—who else knew if other major provinces didn't harbor conspirators or brutal great demons like Ji Xianxian, Qin Wuxiang, Tang Xianzong, and Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva?

"The chaotic era is impending. Not just this large province of Southern Yue will soon be void of peace."

"According to those loose cultivators who travel far and wide, even the territories of the Imperial City are filled with strange happenings and frequent disasters."

"Who knows how long the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty can last? But everyone knows, there aren't many good years left."

As he pondered these, Tao Qian, leading Little Age and Lian Jing'er, arrived in the mountains outside Seeking Immortal County.

He avoided both populous areas and places teeming with demons, continuously scanning for the most suitable place to seclude himself in cultivation.

Initially, his goal was the old place, Tiger Worry Gully.

However, as they approached, the three realized that the territory had truly been occupied by a nest of tiger demons and a "Jiao Demon" that had mutated from a human cultivator. The two groups seemed to have conflicts and frequently fought, causing quite an uproar.

With no other choice, Tao Qian had to lead the two youngsters elsewhere.

Because they needed to avoid both human and demon presence, their options were indeed very limited.

The wealthy families in Seeking Immortal City were fleeing, but the people from surrounding counties and towns believed this area had just defeated demons and had a large military presence, so it was extremely safe. Thus, they moved their families here to take refuge.

The roads and official roads in the mountains were teeming with people, bustling with activity.

In the wilderness of the mountains, due to the "Summoning Demons Order" issued by Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, often came evil cultivators, magicians, and various kinds of demons, employing all sorts of divine skills.

Tao Qian and the two youngsters nearly got discovered several times.

Tao Qian originally wanted to use the soft jade given to him by Master Xiao earlier, which could continuously wield the Small Innate Nascent Soul Escape Technique and head deeper into the mountains. However, that was risky. After all, from Hong Youhu's memories, he knew that Tang Xianzong's Devil God Army was hidden among those endless mountains.

What if, by great coincidence, Tao Qian and the two little ones ran straight into the Devil God Army?

Would they survive? Probably not.

Just as Tao Qian's thoughts drifted, his gaze inadvertently glanced over, and the sight he caught made him stop in his tracks.

It was a hidden area, quite inconspicuous—a not very tall mountain distanced from Seeking Immortal County and even further from Iron Buddha Temple. Within a hundred miles, there was only a village long abandoned and uninhabited.

A stream flowed out from the mountain, narrow at first but gradually widening, with no cluttered trees on either bank, just patches of peach blossom forests, fresh grass, and falling blossoms.

A burst of spiritual light suddenly surged up, irresistibly occupying Tao Qian's mind.

Even in his mind, there appeared chanting voices from his previous life.

"The most suitable place for Tao Qian to visualize and cultivate in seclusion seems to have been found."

Tao Qian suddenly smiled slightly and declared resolutely.
