Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 281 - 205: Everyone, I am Going to Cut You Down_3

"Disciple now has many Exotic Treasures on me, and I have paid the price due. Truly, I lack the strength to undertake another..."

Tao Qian tried his best to persuade them and even specifically found a substitute for the meeting gift, such as imparting some cultivation experience, which finally convinced the seven uncles to take back their treasures.

Though there were twists and turns, the interaction was thoroughly enjoyable for both guest and host.

Seven Injuries Daoist, along with his disciples, had long resided in the Bie Fu Grotto Heaven. With seven Cavernous Mystery Cultivators amongst them, they could dominate a region. However, the seven were not of such disposition; they only focused on cultivation instead of forcibly seizing treasures, and they seldom went out seeking treasures. Thus, they had not accumulated any substantial wealth.

Originally, it was assumed that someone like Tao Qian, a favored child of heaven and Duo Bao's first disciple, would be very hard to approach.

After conversing, all felt this youth to be gentle and kind, truly a gentleman of modesty and virtue.

They were first happy for Duobao True Monarch but then became worried for Tao Qian.

Master One-legged Bull, whom he had once struck with a sword, was the first to subtly warn:

"Nephew, your talents and character are extraordinary, and it's no wonder the eldest brother thought of taking you as a disciple."

"I've heard that you will soon re-enter the mortal realm. We may not have much experience to impart to you, but just remember not to flaunt your identity as the elder brother's disciple."

"If you ever have spare time, you are welcome to seek us out outside Anqing City, in Heavenly Sorrow Mountain, Seven Ruins Cave Heaven."

Listening to these words, the most crucial reminders stood out.

Tao Qian not only understood instantly but also couldn't help but inwardly exclaim: Good people indeed.

He had seen individuals with natural impairments in Seeking Immortal County before, each of them an evil cultivator devoid of conscience.

But Seven Injuries Daoist and his group of physically impaired disciples...

Though they had a frightful appearance, they were truly kind-hearted.

"Seven Injuries Daoist, a fellow practitioner of 'Spirit Treasure Cave True Salvation Scripture,' resides in Anqing province, essentially establishing another Bie Fu overseas from Penglai Sea. They take on many disciples, with one rule: only those with kind hearts and natural impairments."

"Appearances may seem terrifying, but there are no signs of mutation, they are genuine True Practitioners."

...

In this harmonious atmosphere, the auspicious cloud finally drifted into Penglai Island, ascending towards Biyou Palace.

Compared to the past, the island now truly revealed the scenery of an Immortal Land.

Tao Qian stood on the cloud; the scene of Ten Thousand Immortals Coming that he glimpsed when he first entered Penglai Sea unfolded before him once again.

From all directions, Immortals and Daoists came.

Looking ahead, he saw the misty clouds around Biyou Palace, myriad auspicious clouds bathed in celestial light, and Purple Ganoderma Cliff enshrouded in a mysterious fog, with auspicious light filling the sky.

Along the way to the top, he saw ancient green pines, tranquil bamboo forests, purple finches fluttering, Immortal Cranes squawking, myriad flowers blooming, and beautiful herbs sprawling. And in those normally serene Daoist palaces and temples, fragrant dragon saliva incense was now burning, with phoenix flutes and elephant trumpets resounding.

When the auspicious cloud entered Biyou Palace, a legion of Immortals stood arrayed, divine light surging.

Tao Qian had no time to spot where his Master was, nor to look elsewhere, as from afar he heard Xuu Xun, Yang Jie, and other senior fellow disciples calling him over to the jade plaza in front of Biyou Palace.

There were eighteen spots.

Seventeen were already filled, only his was vacant.

By rights, this should be a joyous occasion.

After all, standing there signified that he, Master Tao, had officially become a True Disciple of the current generation of Spirit Treasure Sect.

But at that moment, Tao Qian wanted only to hide his face and proceed.

The reason was simple: despite his efforts to downplay his presence, as he soared towards the plaza, the multitude of Spirit Treasure Disciples standing there, and the Immortals standing upon the other islands and esteemed positions, all inevitably turned to look at him.

He was desperately suppressing his Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, but to little avail.

Everyone in the arena, all "Immortals," sensed the hostility emanating from him.

Though Tao Qian said nothing, it was as if an invisible voice was roaring in the place:

Fellows, I am here to slay you.
