Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 329 - 241: Devil Demon Blood Flesh Crushed into Mud, The Disaster Star Tao Qian Troubles All People

Whether it was Liang Qiu's orchard or the fisherman Anong's "Fish Planting Lake."

Though abnormal, they were still within Tao Qian's acceptance range.

But very soon, the group arrived at a vast expanse of fields.

At first glance, Tao Qian's expression immediately stiffened, a chill of horror washing over him.

In front of him, acre by acre, the soil was so abnormal it was unnerving. The crops being cultivated were far from ordinary rice and wheat. Many bodies of demons and deceitful creatures, both familiar and unfamiliar to Tao Qian, were either neatly arranged or shredded and mixed into a bloody mud.

Just like the first plot in front of him, where about dozens of unclothed, human-headed snakes, ferocious and terrifying "Beautiful Pythons," all dead, were neatly arranged. Their bodies were punctured with numerous holes, out of which large, brilliantly colored mushrooms emitted an exotic fragrance. Some were as big as carriage covers, casting shade and attracting insects the size of fists, resembling neither flies nor bees, buzzing chaotically.

Looking further into the distance, such sights were everywhere.

Fields purely made from the shattered corpses of demons and monsters, with strains of odd rice standing tall, their grains crimson like blood, as lustrous as jade or glass, fragrance overwhelming.

On the side, vein-like objects spread across the ground, bubbling liquid inside, feeding a fruit as large as a house at the center, resembling a watermelon, except its surface was crystal clear, revealing the tempting juice inside.

A decaying giant, covered in red hair with limbs having sharp claws and only a monstrous gaping mouth in place of eyes and nose, lay on the ground, its body overgrown with vines bearing thousands of chili-like fruits.

In the distance, a small mountain made of corpses engulfed in black mist, tubers resembling tumors with blood-mud around them throbbed like hearts.

...

For a moment, Tao Qian felt as if he had returned to the Fragrant Meat Collection in Southern Yue.

Everywhere he looked, there was flesh and blood!

The stench was overpowering!

The difference was, this time, the victims were not from the Human Clan, but demons and other monstrous creatures.

Each kind, capable of wreaking havoc on its own, yet here, they had become mere compost?

Had it not been for the orchard and the Fish Lake as a precursor, Tao Qian would have instinctively drawn his sword by now.

Even so, his complexion was not very good at this moment.

The previous two scenes Tao Qian could accept, but the scenes before him now were too shocking.

Yan Shi and the others clearly understood this and only after several moments did he begin to explain:

"Daoist, do not panic, this place is called the Demon Field."

"Although it seems terrifying, there's no difference from the previous two places."

"The materials used are all from demons and monster species notorious for their wickedness and brutality."

"Such as that group of man-eating Beautiful Pythons, or that red-haired giant, originally an evil cultivator from the outskirts of Demon City. His evil technique went out of control and mutated him into this monstrous being, devouring ten villages in a day. Had it not been for my uncle, the Copper Tripod Immortal, taking action personally, the tragedy would have been even greater."

"The person in charge here is Daoist Liu Minong."

"Although he only has the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he is a genuine talent. His roots are particularly extraordinary, being a descendant of the ancient Shennong, inherently possessing divine power to identify and domesticate the grass and trees of heaven and earth. Later, he even obtained a volume of the 'Taishang Five Grains Scripture,' making his cultivation of grains even more miraculous."

"Taishang Dao? Does this complete the three great sects of Daoism?"

As Tao Qian muttered to himself, he suddenly turned his head, looking towards the center of the Demon Field.

He saw a manure pit, its contents unknown but filled with demon corpses, venom, and plasma, all producing a stench unbearable to withstand. The stench visibly conglomerated into thick, colorful clouds, solidifying above the pit, motionless.

Yet wisps of stench still surged in every direction.

Suddenly, a figure leapt from the manure pool with a "splash".

Before he could get a clear look at this figure, he saw him, covered in filth and blood plasma, rushing towards them.

While running, he laughed and said:

"Brother Yan Shi, don't boast for me. Others might take it seriously and link me with Shennong and Taishang Dao."

"Who am I, Liu Minong, to be so bold?"

"Just so the Daoist knows, I am merely someone born with some specialties, and by chance, I obtained a volume that came from Taishang Dao, merely the middle volume. If Taishang Dao doesn't chase me down to retrieve that volume of the Wonderful Scripture, it's already a blessing from all the Gods and Buddhas."

As he spoke, a miraculous sight appeared on his body.

Gentle breeze, sweet rain, heavenly fragrance... these things that even Tao Qian would need to cast spells to summon appeared spontaneously around him, instantly cleaning him from head to toe, leaving not a trace of dirt nor an odd smell.

Most crucially, Tao Qian did not detect any traces of casting.

Just this scene alone confirmed for Tao Qian that what Yan Shi had said was true.

The person before him, disheveled, dressed in shorts, with a bulging forehead sporting a pair of flesh horns, indeed might have a uniquely special bloodline.

Such individuals, from the moment of their birth, were accompanied by extraordinary phenomena.

Merely thinking could bring about sweet rain and heavenly fragrance, a rarity even in the Cultivation World.

"This person has such talent, and he has obtained the 'Taishang Five Grains Scripture.' Clearly, he has karma with Taishang Dao."

"If he were to seek discipleship, he could easily become a disciple of Taishang Dao. Why does he not go?"

"Know that among today's Twelve Daoist Sects, the largest without a doubt is our Spirit Treasure Sect, but the strongest is not necessarily us. Most Daoist cultivators regard Taishang Dao, normally desireless and unseeking, as the strongest. If this person could become a disciple of Taishang Dao, wouldn't he be even more capable of assisting the National Salvation Congress?"
