Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 285 - 207: The True Appearance of the Absolute Immortal, Heavenly Venerate Dividing Treasures_2
Suddenly, a pathway unfolded across the sky.
At the end of the path, right above the Purple Ganoderma Cliff of Biyou Palace, an immensely majestic and towering Heavenly Gate materialized above everyone’s heads.
Behind the gate, the outlines of the Innate Divine Beings that truly filled the cosmos and the figures of the Sect Master and the Second Generation Ancestors, their light almost completely obscured, were faintly visible.
In Duobao’s hands, astonishingly, there appeared an even thicker Treasure Record.
With an unusually solemn and serious demeanor, he held it in his hands and recited aloud,
"Heavenly Venerate above!"
"This Disciple Duobao bows deeply here, life’s Longevity is easily obtained, the Sublime Dharma hard to find, we Disciples of the Lingbao are fortunate to be bestowed with the teachings of the Heavenly Venerate, to Cultivate the Supreme Method of the Spiritual Treasure. Yet the Immortal Path is fraught with hardship; a mere misstep can sever the Dao Path, leaving the road ahead in darkness."
"Nonetheless, in his mercy, the Heavenly Venerate allowed for a sliver of a chance to arise naturally from the way of the heavens and the earth, laying it for our Sect’s Daoist Wu Chao, Master Three Stars, Golden Silkworm Daoist, Spirit Elephant Daoist, Willow Daoist... Wearing the Treasure Records, granted the title of Absolute Immortal, allowing all Cultivators to ascend the Dao Path, pass through the Heavenly Gate, all in pursuit of that slim chance to once again Cultivate the Sublime Dharma of the Spiritual Treasure."
The moment Duobao finished reciting, the Treasure Record in his hand immediately burned away.
This time, it transformed into a wisp of scarlet-red blood mist, twirling upwards and striking directly against the Great Dao Heavenly Gate.
The boundless and majestic gate swung open instantly.
Thereafter, at the other end of the brilliant Tianhe, the sight of a mirage-like scene became visible; Tao Qian and all the True Disciples could clearly see the landscape of the Absolute Immortal Sea.
After being reflected outward, an exceedingly large and terrifying figure abruptly appeared on one of the islands, one Tao Qian found very familiar. It roared as it broke away from the island, tearing through the Tianhe.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, countless disciples in front of the Biyou Palace couldn’t help but let out cries of horror.
At this moment, Duobao spoke solemnly again,
"Spirit Treasure Cultivators, let us chant the Dao Song, to bid farewell to these Absolute Immortals."
As his voice fell, including Tao Qian, the Spirit Treasure Dao Song emerged in everyone’s mind.
Uncontrollably, they began reciting.
One could hardly imagine!
The sight of the entire Spirit Treasure Sect, from the True Monarchs and Elders to the junior disciples, simultaneously chanting the Spirit Treasure Dao Song was astounding.
And at that moment, it happened.
The vast Penglai Sea, in an instant, seemed to be filled with the sound of the Dao Song.
The terrifying figure, still roaring and struggling madly after entering the Tianhe, became unexpectedly peaceful with the resonance of the Song.
He followed the Dao Path along the Tianhe, heading toward the opened gateway.
However, even so, most of the Spirit Treasure Disciples still only dared to bow their heads and chant the song, not daring to look up at the true form of the Absolute Immortals in the Tianhe.
For a very simple reason!
A look might not be lethal, but it would surely result in contamination, harming one’s Dao Path.
Of course, if one could withstand the contamination, on the contrary, there could be some benefits.
Having witnessed the Mutated and Fallen form of those Absolute Immortals, one might gain insights into certain taboos and errors, which, at some point in the future, might even save one’s life.
Knowing this, the common disciples dared not look.
The eighteen True Disciples, however, insisted on looking.
At this moment, Tao Qian was reciting the Dao Song while widening his eyes to watch the struggling and Flying huge figure in the Tianhe.
Shock filled his eyes.
"Three-legged Golden Crow!"
"Another one?"
Although Uncle Wu Chao’s Mutated form was the epitome of distortion, its true form was still identifiable at a glance.
The dark giant bird, enveloped in endless black flames, was very similar to Elder Sister Lu Xi’s.
Evidently, was there some bloodline connection between the two?
Tao Qian subconsciously looked towards Elder Sister Lu Xi and indeed, among the eighteen people, she was the one who watched most intently.
With the surge of the black flames and light, it didn’t take long for Uncle Wu Chao, who once could not help but secretly plot against Tao Qian, to step into the Heavenly Gate as an Absolute Immortal and proceed with his true form towards the Outer Realm.
However, everyone’s chanting of the Dao Song could not stop; the second verse came again.
This time, the one who stepped into the brilliant Tianhe was a completely naked ancient giant. At first glance, there was no sign of mutation or Fallen status on his body, only a broad nose and a single eye, resembling the look of an Alien Species from ancient times.
But soon, the people saw the three stars revolving around the back of his head.
One red, one black, one white!
As many junior disciples, driven by curiosity, wanted to look,
Suddenly, the voice of Brother Xuu Xun resounded in their minds.
"This is the Three Stars Daoist, you should refer to him as Uncle."
"Do not gaze upon his true form and features; those three Evil Stars are Alien entities born with Uncle."
"The Blood Star devours the flesh and blood of the body, the Black Star devours the Soul and Spirit, the White Star devours one’s Fortune and Blessing... Uncle has Mutated into an Absolute Immortal and can’t control himself."
"Your Cultivation is still weak; even a distant glance would be unbearable for you."
"Bow your heads and chant; there are benefits to be had."
Evidently, Xuu Xun also knew Tao Qian had joined the Sect not long ago and probably wasn’t aware of all the elders’ information. Thus, as he warned the junior disciples, he also included Tao Qian.
After hearing this, Tao Qian and the other disciples had similar reactions.
Their pupils constricted, faces showing fear.
"Flesh and blood, Spirit and Soul, Fortune and Blessing... good heavens, Uncle Three Stars seems less like a Daoist power and more like something from the Demon Path!"
"This method, of completely consuming a person, sounds even darker than the Demon Path."
"I thought Uncle Wu Chao was already horrifying enough, but it seems Three Stars Uncle is not to be outdone and is even more terrifying, absolutely untouchable."
While Tao Qian was reflecting, the ferocious Three Stars Daoist too stepped into the Heavenly Gate.
Following suit was the third.
Unexpectedly, this Absolute Immortal known as the "Golden Silkworm Daoist" didn’t seem terrifying at the first glance.
