Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 215 - 169: Disaster Strikes the Fire Cave Mansion, Ferocious Divine Skills Shock Fellow Disciples_2

Tao Qian, while observing the ancient murals in the Bie Fu, was secretly wondering where he would plant peach trees after taking control of the Ascending Immortal Island.

Soon, the sky began to brighten.

The Penglai Sea at the gate of Spirit Treasure Mountain also became increasingly bustling.

It was at this moment that the "Big Fire Cave" deep inside the Ascending Immortal Island, whose red flames had been relatively stable, suddenly thickened and intensified, swelling as if they could erupt at any moment.

Seated atop the altar within the Beast Slaughter Mansion, Tao Qian suddenly felt something at this instant.

A whim!

A long-absent premonition of crisis abruptly seized him.

Tao Qian's expression changed subtly, and he turned his head swiftly toward a certain direction.

"Not good!"

The moment these words were uttered,

the Ascending Immortal Island, which had been quiet for many years and enjoyed significant fame within the sect and was now the focus of many eyes, suddenly exploded with an unimaginable commotion.

With a "boom," the massive Fire Cave that was bulging burst completely.

A sky-piercing column of fire, entwined with thick smoke and poisonous flames, surged toward the heavens in an instant, and a sea of fiery sparks bloomed like a colossal flower of flames over the sky of Ascending Immortal Island.

It was visible from thousands of miles away.

Such a disturbance was naturally impossible to conceal from anyone.

In that instant, Spirit Treasure disciples from dozens of surrounding immortal islands were all startled and soared toward the heavens on auspicious clouds and Evasion Light, turning their gazes toward Ascending Immortal Island.

There wasn't a single member of the Mortal Human Race here; all were cultivation practitioners, and nearly all possessed extraordinary Divine Skills, so the vast distance did not hinder their sight at all.

Therefore, they all saw the terrifying fiery creatures straining to break free from the giant fire column, one after another, fierce and formidable, each of different forms.

These creatures included Fire Crows enveloped in flames, flame giants with neither heads nor eyes, giant crocodiles with red scales and flames in their eyes, fire dragons wrapping around mountains, Fire Ghosts wielding sharp forks, and flame-horned, black sheep-like Fire Beasts... There seemed to be an endless stream, hundreds and thousands bursting forth.

Within moments, the entire Ascending Immortal Island was occupied by these ferociously peculiar fire creatures.

Their roar could be clearly heard even hundreds of miles away.

With such visuals, there was no need to even think; the crowd of onlookers was immense.

Adding to that, everyone knew who the current owner of Ascending Immortal Island was, raising even more topics of discussion.

Originally, there were some kind-hearted Sect disciples wanting to rush over to assist Tao Qian.

But synchronously, they were all stopped by their respective Masters.

Thus, at this moment, the sect became extremely lively, but aside from some discussions, no one went to provide assistance.

Not far from Ascending Immortal Island was another island called Bibo Island.

On this island, many wild and unruly disciples of Spirit Treasure gathered.

Suddenly noticing the changes on Ascending Immortal Island, these diverse disciples, each of different origins, simultaneously flew into the heavens and used various means to gaze from afar.

"What's going on? It's over by Ascending Immortal Island. Where did that sky-piercing column of fire come from? To achieve such might, one would likely have to open an Earth Orifice and draw forth the flames from the earth."

"There are at least eight hundred Fire Spirits roaring inside that fire column. Without the restraint of a Forbidden Technique, Ascending Immortal Island might well be scorched to cinders."

"I heard long ago that when Yunhua Immortal was refining a Forbidden Technique on Ascending Immortal Island, she personally ventured into the Fire Acupoints to capture exactly eight hundred Fire Spirits, sealing them into the technique to augment its power. Now we see that her reputation is well deserved."

"Ascending Immortal Island was gifted by Yunhua Immortal to the first disciple of Duobao True Monarch, rumored to be a true Talent. Although she is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm now, she successfully resisted the Three Calamities in Southern Yue, prompting Duobao True Monarch to specially send the Heavenly Punishment Sword, the Returning Immortal Mirror, and the Ruyi Circle, three Immortal Treasures, to escort her back to the Sect. After her return, it almost sparked competition for her between the Immortal and True Monarch in the sect, an unprecedented event."

"Just last night, I heard that this Talent successively subdued two Bie Fus, even Jiushou Dragon King and Twelve Beast Evil, creatures capable of battling those in the Cavernous Mystery Realm, couldn't get the better of her. How could such an accident suddenly occur?"

"Maybe it was too much of a strain to forcefully subdue the three prohibitions within Ascending Immortal Island at the Foundation Establishment Realm, especially the last prohibition with eight hundred Fire Spirits, which are not to be trifled with."

"I've said before that although this individual's talents are astonishing, they surely aren't on par with Golden Crow Fairy."

"The three prohibitions of Ascending Immortal are certainly extraordinary, but if it were disciples like Yang Jie, coupled with an Ascending Immortal Token, subduing them would be much simpler."

"It's not fair to make such comparisons; the True Monarch's first disciple has only joined the sect for a few days. Having established her Dao Foundation not long ago, successfully subduing two prohibitions already sets her apart from the rest of us; she definitely won't fall behind compared to Sister Golden Crow or Brother Yang Jie."

...

Within the Mountain Gate, Tao Qian was unaware of the various disturbances caused by the disaster on Ascending Immortal Island.

At that moment, he moved out of Beast Slaughter Mansion and happened to witness a terrifyingly immense column of fire piercing through the sky.

A total of eight hundred ferocious Fire Spirits surged out from within the column.

In an instant, the entire Ascending Immortal Island began to experience a drastic rise in temperature.

Looking up, one couldn't see the Sun Star at all, only fire creatures one after another, roaring and dancing in flight.

If this continued for a while, Tao Qian did not doubt that the Immortal Island would be scorched into barren land.

Tao Qian's brows furrowed, completely at a loss for the cause of this disaster.

Subconsciously, Tao Qian wanted to summon back the Invisibility Demon to ask for clarity, while also trying to take out the Ascending Immortal Token to activate the Mystic Netherworld True Water Great Prohibition, to subdue the eight hundred Fire Spirits with the island's Water Veins.

But as he made this move, an unexpected event left him stunned.

The Ascending Immortal Token, which had his Divine Soul imprint on it!

Upon taking it out, it began to buzz and transform into a stream of light, attempting to leave his hand.

This change immediately caused a cold light to flash in Tao Qian's eyes, his palm violently tightening grip, a colossal amount of Immortal Spiritual Qi immediately suppressed it, accompanied by a "sizzling" sound, the Ascending Immortal Token returned to calm.

But at the same time, Tao Qian also realized there was a defect in the Water Vein Restriction he could mobilize.

With a thought, instead of calling upon the entire Immortal Island's Water Veins, it was only the water vapor from Dragon Marsh.

The vitally important and more powerful Ice Pot Immortal Mountain water vapor seemed to have been severed in the middle, completely disregarding Tao Qian's commands.

Although the might of the rolling Dragon Marsh was extremely astonishing.

Very quickly, a hundred of the eight hundred Fire Spirits split off, roaring as they collided with it.

Water and fire collided!

In an instant, the sound of explosions was unceasing, and one could see the terrifying steam, capable of cooking a giant beast alive, surging and spreading in all directions.

Within that steamy fog, the remaining seven hundred Fire Spirits simultaneously surged toward Tao Qian.

Roars echoed through the sky.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by this beast-suppressing roar, the Sky-Supporting Ancient Ape once again appeared outside the Beast Slaughter Mansion, clad in a Kasaya and forming a Buddha Seal.

Its posture resembled that of a Buddha, but as the Ape's arm extended, it directly grabbed a Fire Elephant and a Fire Human, pounding each once before the two giant Fire Spirits were shattered into a sky of ember flakes.

Tao Qian still wasn't satisfied, his Ape eyes filled with fierce Buddha Nature swept around, quickly locking onto a towering stone peak. With a leap, he embraced the peak with both hands and then let out a roar that shook hundreds of miles, breaking the peak clean off.

Then, Tao Qian directly used it as a "gigantic stone stick" like a weapon.

First, he let out a roar that dispersed the steam, and then, gripping the stone stick, he began to sweep and pound.

In the next moment, "bang bang bang" sounds were incessant over the island.

From one stick one head, it quickly progressed to one stick a swathe.

The disciples of the Lingbao watched this ferocious scene, their faces froze in astonishment, mouths gaping open.

They couldn't understand why this was happening at all.

In addition to being amazed at the fighting power Tao Qian displayed, they were even more surprised by his unexpected battle style.

"This... this can't be!"

"The aura seems to be a Buddhist Sect technique, but have we ever heard which great temple has such protectors? Could it be a treasure from Vajra Temple?"

"Isn't this child the first disciple of Duobao True Monarch? Although the Monarch appears rough and uncouth, he is known for his cunning and treasures."

"Yes, I've heard that when Duobao True Monarch faces an enemy, he usually brandishes the Heavenly Punishment Sword to strike others, and while he is not a Sword Cultivator, his demeanor and grace are even more unrestrained... If the Heavenly Punishment Sword doesn't resolve the problem, then the opponent is in even worse trouble, because that means the True Monarch is going to smash someone with the Magical Treasure."

"Such a violent method, this child should have been a disciple of Jintong Daoist."

"Stop talking nonsense, even Jintong Daoist isn't so ferocious."
