Longevity Chronicles

Chapter 805 - 514: The Heavenly Venerate Creates the Heaven-Slashing Technique, Duobao Daoist Surpasses It


"It seems that you have taught extremely well, Daoist. The Young Master has surpassed the teacher."


"As for the sword technique, it might be that the Young Master didn't want to harm those two creatures, so as not to ruin the spell covering them."


These words entered his ears, and Yuan Gong's eyebrows suddenly raised in anger.


He wanted to refute, but felt that arguing with a crystal stone mountain range was really pointless, so he remained silent.


...


Tao Qian was unaware of the conversation between Master Yuan and Lady Spirit Marrow.


He was currently inside the Star Aperture, examining the relics left by his Master.


During the process, there were some small setbacks.


The two creatures, both possessed extraordinary spirituality, and could be said to be remarkably similar to Duobao Daoist.


When Tao Qian suddenly unleashed his power, the entire Star Aperture almost overturned, and the two creatures were terrified and ran deeper inside, almost showing signs of escaping to the Great Abyss Origin Sea through the Star Aperture.


Tao Qian did not panic, he directly displayed his own Qi and took out his many treasures, and the two creatures quickly returned obediently with a swish.


When they realized it was a trap, it was already too late.


The Heavenly Calculation Worm rashly rushed over and was pressed down by Tao Qian's palm.


The Duobao Finger attempted a stealthy attack to seize treasures, but was suddenly struck by Tao Qian's other hand holding the Toad God Tile, sending out a burst of golden light and fainting directly.


At this moment, there was no distinction between first or second.


Both hands simultaneously began refining the two creatures.


In an instant, a flood of information like a mountain torrent surged into his mind.


Apart from the most crucial spell gates, there were also a large amount of his Master's cultivation experiences, not limited to Divination Technique and Ten Thousand Treasure Secret, but also other experiences, secrets, and even the essence of Duobao Daoist's cultivation in this life.


"Indeed, our Master had unparalleled calculations, and here we fill the gap that has always been missing in the teaching of the Dao between mentor and disciple."


"Both imparting Divine Skills and providing cultivation experiences."


"Duobao Daoist is truly an excellent master."


Just as Tao Qian finished praising.


The two creatures that had been struggling suddenly trembled, not only did they stop moving, but they transformed directly into a golden and white Spirit Light, and merged into Tao Qian's body.


Detailed records immediately appeared:


[Name: Heavenly Calculation Worm.]


[Record Type: Alien.]


[Record: This is the most rare of all spirit worm divine treasures in the world, and does not exist in any world, be it the Longevity Realm or the Great Abyss. There is no territory where it can be found. Its birthplace is solely within the "Original Heavenly Dao." This worm has several forms; the larvae are born in the Heavenly Dao, and as adults, it roams among All Heavens, peering into the secrets of the world with the "Heavenly Calculation Eye," and integrates the infinite "Heavenly Calculation Touch" into every corner of the world. After consuming all the secrets, it dies in that world, with its corpse transforming into nourishment to completely merge into that realm, nourishing it and repaying the cost.]


[Note one: Once the Heavenly Calculation Worm begins to integrate into the world, in addition to observing every corner, all lives and dead objects, it can gradually observe this world's past, present, and future... If it wishes, it can even use the "Heavenly Calculation Touch" to make minute changes to the world, but no Heavenly Calculation Worm is willing to forcibly do this, as the worm would die from retaliatory destruction by the world itself.]


[Note two: The Divination Technique was created by Lingbao Tianzun. This technique uses the "Heavenly Calculation Worm" as a medium, to observe the world, predict the world, and can alter the growth process of the Heavenly Calculation Worm, allowing it to be controlled by the spell caster, so it need not die in the world viewed, but this action also goes against the will of the Heavenly Calculation Worm. Once done, the cost will be borne by the caster, who will be hated by all life in the observed world.]


[Note three: After mastering the Divination Technique, one can capture larvae from within the Original Heavenly Dao. This action is extremely dangerous, as all "wild adult insects" in All Heavens deeply hate insect catchers. Once discovered, they are sure to attack, and some dying adults even possess the power to cause the respective world to collide with the insect catcher, and even tribulation Immortal Gods may perish because of it.]


[Note four: The original name of the Divination Technique is actually called "Heaven Cutting Secret Technique," which means to intercept the Heavenly Mechanism. Only Tianzun thought the name was not pleasant sounding and changed it to Divination... The name of the technique may change, but the cost cannot be avoided. Each time Divination Technique is performed, the cost must be paid, and there is a risk of an explosion in the skull and the soul's demise.]


[Note five: Because the cost of this technique is considerable, Lingbao Tianzun originally intended to seal it, until one time when the Spirit Treasure Sect experienced many calculations, with numerous disasters descending. Tianzun perceived ahead through this technique and adjusted casting, allowing the Spirit Treasure Sect's Daoist Lineage and Mountain Gate to remain in the Longevity Realm... Because of this, Tianzun specifically passed down this technique and decreed that anyone who is a candidate for sect master must study this technique.]


[Note six: Already recognized by a Heavenly Calculation Worm larva, this worm greatly loves the host's body and is thriving.]


[Note seven: Explosion and death cost can be excused! Hatred cost cannot be excused! Adult insect hatred cost cannot be excused...]


...


Tao Qian had not seen such a vast and detailed record of secrets for a long, long time.


Thus, even just seeing the information of the first alien, the Heavenly Calculation Worm, left him stunned for a moment.


Shocking!


Only these two words could describe Tao Qian's current mood.


The puzzles and doubts he had in his heart all along were explained.


He originally thought that his master relied on the [Divination Technique], reputed to be unmatched in calculation and prediction, simply by pinching his fingers to calculate.


Who would have thought?


The truth is so intricate and astonishing.


This magic skill is fundamentally not the key; the worm behind it is the source of the predictions.


"So that means!"


"Master is actually an 'Insect Cultivator,' and he has at least integrated a Heavenly Calculation adult worm into the Longevity Realm, which is why he knows so many secrets of this realm."


"After his Corpse Reincarnation, did he also release control of all the adult worms, letting them freely integrate into the Heavenly Dao?"


"I now have a larva recognizing me as its master, but a single worm can almost only glimpse one world. If I forcefully use it for two, the cost is immense."


"The best way is to continue cultivating the Divination Technique to capture new larvae inside the Original Heavenly Dao... But doing so is costly as well. What if I'm discovered by other wild adult worms and get hit by a complete world...?"


Although the record was exceedingly detailed, Tao Qian couldn't digest or understand it all in a short time.


It's not his fault; it's just that this technique and this worm are too astonishing.


For a moment, he didn't even know how to cultivate it, or whether to cultivate it at all.


No time for more thought, the next wave of documentation came rushing in.


[Name: Duobao Finger.]


[Record Type: Alien.]


[Record: This is the fragment of Duobao True Monarch's original form, fused and cast into an alien object after integrating with the Ten Thousand Treasure Dao Pattern, containing a trace of Duobao's spirituality. This object not only carries the "Ten Thousand Treasure Secret," but also holds Duobao True Monarch's lifetime cultivation experience, and is the only clue to find his Reincarnation Body. As Duobao True Monarch has too many enemies scattered inside and outside the realm, to prevent hindrance to his reincarnation, he erased all traces of the Heavenly Mechanism, and only the inheritor of this treasure can point out his Reincarnation Body with a finger.]


[Note 1: Having learned the Ten Thousand Treasure Secret... this skill was also created by Lingbao Tianzun. Once successfully cultivated, it can condense a type of "Ten Thousand Treasure Divine Qi." This Source Qi has a strong attraction to almost all treasures in the world and can make them feel that they will transform and sublime by throwing themselves to it, which is actually an illusion. Once thrown to it, not only will they not transform, but even their essence and splendor will be taken by the caster.]


...


"Oh dear, is the Heavenly Venerate also a fishing man?"


Tao Qian seemed to have a sort of stress reaction. Just after reading the first documentation, he immediately had this thought.


After it burst forth, he quickly reacted, repeatedly saying in his heart: "Heavenly Venerate above, don't blame the disciple for speaking rashly. I am truly a person of kind heart. It's all thanks to Li Wanshou; he was the first to fish for disciples in those years."


After apologizing to the Heavenly Venerate, Tao Qian quickly pretended nothing happened and looked downwards.


[Note 2: This skill is most effective on treasures without spirituality but has limited effect on those with it, because once a treasure develops spirituality, it can discern the "bait" as true or false, and won't come unless the caster can cultivate this to the level of Duobao True Monarch. When combined with the Divination Technique, it can not only condense Ten Thousand Treasure Divine Qi but also fabricate false causality, making spiritual treasures mistakenly believe the caster is the "destined master," and thus go to them.]


[Note 3: Whether the Divination Technique or the Ten Thousand Treasure Secret, excluding Lingbao Tianzun, Duobao True Monarch is the most exalted. Even the Spirit Treasure Sect Master and all second-generation ancestors cannot compare to him. In fact, in cultivating the Ten Thousand Treasure Secret, Duobao True Monarch is even more superior than the Tianzun.]


Tao Qian intended to remain calm, but the content of the second and third documentation was indeed somewhat excessive.


After reading, he instinctively commented:


"What a master!"


"Treating treasures of all heavens as fish to catch is fine, but using storytelling and this big pancake trick, he's even stronger than the Heavenly Venerate. No wonder he's the designated next Spirit Treasure Sect Master; even his disciples can't compare."
