Chapter 869: Chapter 869
Penglai Sea, Ascending Immortal Island.
In the quiet room of the Spiritual Resonance Cave Mansion, an awkward scene was unfolding.
"Father, mother, what are you doing?"
In front of the warm bed, stood a rosy-cheeked little girl of indeterminate age, full of innocent inquiry toward Tao Qian and Yunrong on the bed.
The girl was truly beautiful, with skin as white as snow, like a porcelain doll, and the cat ears and eyes that were retained unaltered, only added to her immense cuteness.
Her dress, bracelet, and adornments were visibly extraordinary treasures.
It's just that all the treasure light was obscured by the innate spiritual resonance the girl exuded, a breath acquired only through the favor of heaven and earth.
The sound she emitted was a marvelous sound.
The place she stood was a wonderful realm.
Whoever could have such a daughter would surely want to accompany her every day, never leaving her side.
Yet Tao Da, who was envied by countless cultivators around the world, did not quite think this way.
For the first ten days, he indeed did.
Reborn twice, it was Tao Qian's first time being a father, and he adored the little fox slave to his bones.
And the little fox slave was also naive and adorable, loved deeply by the married couple.
But soon, the two of them were somewhat overwhelmed.
This little cat seemed to have an endless and fervent curiosity about everything, and due to her lineage, she changed daily.
In just ten short days, her outer appearance scarcely differed from a two or three-year-old child.
The entire Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Immortals in Penglai Sea, along with many fairies on Jade Ring Mountain, as well as those exterior immortals like Master Xiao and Queen of Daughter Country... This child was rightfully called the Daoist's First Little Princess, and one could imagine just how much she was cherished.
Whatever she desired, she could have it all.
However, what was truly astonishing was the innate bloodline divine skills this little cat was born with.
Every hour, she became increasingly adept at utilizing her innate bloodline power.
In these ten days, Tao Qian had carefully counted and classified them, including the passive activation of the Innate Yin Spirit Life Protecting Divine Light, Innate Marvelous Sound, and Innate Yin Spirit Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique when she was just born, totaling ten types.
Of course, the only truly "formidable" ones were just these three for now.
The others were more like being impervious to weapons, fire, and water, void teleportation, thousand-mile eye, and sharp-hearing ear.
In mundane terms, they were immortal spells.
To Tao Qian and Yunrong, great cultivators as they were, it was indeed nothing.
Just that sometimes, it was quite embarrassing.
For example, at this moment, the couple had barely managed to send their daughter away, seized the opportunity to perform a ritual in the warm tent, only to be interrupted by their daughter who teleported in, ignoring the Forbidden Technique.
Fortunately, the two hadn't yet disrobed.
Upon hearing the adorable voice of their daughter, Tao Qian lifted the warm tent, revealing a bright yet awkward smile.
Swiftly, he adeptly addressed the little girl before him, saying: "Good girl, your mother has expended quite a lot of Primordial Qi nurturing you, she needs to recuperate properly."
This statement from Tao Qian was clearly nonsense deceiving a child.
Yunrong, being the direct disciple of the Doumu lineage, had already recovered the Primordial Qi consumed in nurturing the little fox slave by the next day.
Tao Qian knew the curious little demon star before him would inevitably ask, so he immediately remembered something else and changed the subject:
"Do you remember, good girl, when you were born, there was a grandmother in a black dress who said she would send you a lot of gifts, she sent a message earlier saying she has prepared a clean and neat gift as the first one for you."
"Go outside now and call Sister Doudou, head to Ascending Immortal Star Aperture to find Spirit Marrow Lady, she will arrange for you to receive the gift."
While speaking, Tao Qian raised his hand to summon a scene from the Outer Realm.
Dozens of mountains-sized, gold-eyed, black-haired Taiyin cats were rushing toward the Longevity Realm.
Compared to the last time, these cats had a pure aura, devoid of any impurities.
As they ran, they appeared like dozens of phantom moons on the move.
"Yay! It's the black moon cat sisters."
"I'm going, I'm going!"
Delighted, the little girl turned around and disappeared from the warm bed, evidently happy to receive the gift.
With the troublemaker little demon star gone, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet Yunrong felt uneasy about the gift from the Outer Realm and asked:
"Doesn't my husband want to take a look, inside the realm no one would dare provoke the Spirit Infant, but if she goes to the Outer Realm it cannot be guaranteed, my husband guarded the gate back then and made quite a name in the Great Abyss, gaining many enemies."
"The Spirit Infant's curiosity is strong, if she ventures a bit further, there may be risk."
This sentence from Yunrong mentioned the little fox slave's name.
But this name was not given by Tao Qian, a few days earlier, Master Tao had thought deeply, yet couldn't come up with a suitable name for his daughter. Not because he lacked cultural depth, but because they were no longer mundane, seriously speaking, they were quite literally divine beings.
The matter of naming seemed simple, in reality it couldn't just be a casual one, as there was an entanglement of causality and divine mechanism sensing involved, it could not be done casually.
However, Master Tao was quite thick-skinned, and when he couldn't come up with a good one, he recited the Dao Formula to ask Lingbao Tianzun for help.
To ask Lingbao Tianzun to name one's own child, Tao Da was indeed the first throughout history.
And the Tianzun actually did give a name.
Upon hearing these three words, Tao Qian felt something, and the name of the little cat was thus set.
"Dear sister, don't worry, the Longevity Realm is protected by mighty divine spirits, ordinary gods and demons dare not approach."
"The situation last time was partly due to the opening of a secret path in the Source Sea by the 'Little All Heavens Stars Capturing God Prohibition', and partly because the Heavenly Venerate did it on purpose."
"As for some evil spirit demons that happened to pass through the Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint, they should be the ones worrying about life and death. Although the Spirit Infant is small, its innate three major life-protecting divine skills, once activated, even I couldn't handle them for a while, not to mention the presence of the Spirit Marrow Lady and that large group of Taiyin Cats clearing karma."
After Tao Qian finished speaking, Yunrong felt much more at ease.
However, Master Tao himself felt an inexplicable ominous premonition in his heart after he spoke.
"The Little Demon Star's curiosity is ten times stronger than mine was back in the day, wanting to know the ins and outs of everything."
"In the past ten days, she's caused havoc all over the Penglai Sea, nearly turning the Absolute Immortal Sea upside down."
"And this was accomplished single-handedly; now she has received dozens of Taiyin Cats sent by Yin Xuanmu..."
Thinking of this, Tao Qian really had the urge to follow along.
But at this moment, he heard an enchanting and captivating cry from his wife, turned around to look, and was greeted by a scene of supreme beauty.
Involuntarily, he pulled close the warm drape and muttered:
"Hmm, it shouldn't be, some playmates are good."
A few hours later, at the highest palace of the Spiritual Resonance Cave Mansion.
The widely revered Great Master Tao, supported by his waist, wearing an empty smile, slowly walked out of the Treasure Hall.
As he walked, he sighed: Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
"I suppose it's due to the particular time; hold on for a few more months, and Aunt Jing Huan's Sex Immortal Technique should be able to contend evenly with the Taizhen Miao Method."
As Tao Qian finished saying these ravenous words.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned his head sharply to look towards the entrance of Penglai Sea.
Though he did not possess the natural Thousand-Mile Eye, his eyes flashed with an effect surpassing it due to his Taoist power.
But before he could make clear the sights of the outer seas, a conspicuous, ear-deafening voice, obviously stern and accusatory, pierced through layers of Great Prohibition and Minor Prohibition, echoing across the Penglai Sea.
"I am the Chief of the Ancient True Dragon Clan, 'Hai Tu', and my clan is the kin of the God of Zhong Mountain, 'Zhu Jiuyin'.
"Not long ago, our clan migrated from the Mountain and Sea Realm to the Longevity Realm, originally to contribute to the prosperity of this realm's Daoist lineage."
Our clan and your sect should have been good neighbors."
"Who would have thought that a disciple of your sect named Tao Lingying would dare to borrow a treasure to assert dominance, allowing her subordinate spiritual pets to capture my third child, 'Hai Kun'."
"Our clan has always cherished peace and tranquility and does not wish to engage in war with your sect, only asking your sect to show leniency and spare my child's life."
Accompanied by these sarcastic words, the area of the Penglai Sea, filled with the Nine Prisons of Ghosts Wind, soon calmed down and cleared.
The Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Immortals, none of them were easy to deal with.
How could they not hear that this so-called Chief of the Ancient True Dragon Clan was not here to seek mercy, but to question and accuse?
All the immortals wanted to see, what kind of divine figure dared to be so bold?
Tao Qian also, at this moment, saw the true form on the opposite side.
Indeed, they were all dragon clans.
Each was of a size and appearance greatly different from the Longevity Realm's style.
Creatures like smoke or fog, completely dark, radiant as the sun... anyone who saw them would recognize these terrifying alien species.
Not to mention at the front, were forms such as horse-bodied dragon-headed, human-bodied dragon-headed, bird-headed dragon-bodied... all carrying a faint yet definite strand of divine origin Qi, as if they had walked straight out of ancient legends.
Previously commonly seen dragon beasts in the Longevity Realm, even the pure-blooded gigantic dragons, were regarded as lower class among this group, and even as mounts.
Back then, Duobao Daoist once did an astonishing deed, wielding the Heavenly Punishment Sword to slay a large number of the overseas devil clan.
This included the dragon clan.
Since then, the dragon Qi overseas had greatly withered.
Yet at this moment, witnessing again, the dragon clan's essence wafting across the overseas was a hundred to a thousand times more intense than ever.
Seeing and perceiving this, Tao Qian and the Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Immortals finally understood why this so-called Ancient True Dragon Clan dared to cause trouble at the Spirit Treasure Sect.
Tao Qian, expressionless, rose to greet them, while looking at the leading alien dragon named 'Hai Tu'.
Its form, truly bizarre.
It had an extremely long dragon body, long enough to fully entwine a mountain.
But its head was human, with white hair, white beard, yellow eyes, red scales, a forehead full of fleshy bulges, and a pair of twisted dragon horns.
"Perfect Ultimate Happiness Realm, and a trace of god-demon aura within, it must be that God of Zhong Mountain, Zhu Jiuyin."
"A clan that just migrated from the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
"If I recall correctly, the dried Yayu fish that the Taiyin Cats love most also belongs to the life of this realm."
"By the way, what about that child Lingying?"
Tao Qian, with a flick of thought, immediately followed the bloodline sensation, teleporting to his daughter's side.
It turned out to be on Qingping Island, the place with the most disciples in the Spirit Treasure Sect.
Upon opening his eyes, what entered his sight was a corpse very similar to that 'Hai Tu', also a dragon god human-faced corpse.
This dragon corpse was being hoisted up, with oil boiling below, and a large number of Spirit Treasure disciples were all employing various methods: some stoking the fire, some cutting meat, some cooking.
On the neck of the dragon corpse stood his precious daughter.
A few hours ago, she was still an innocent and adorable Little Douding, now sleeves rolled up, face full of excitement and exhilaration, tugging with both hands at a scarlet dragon tendon, pulling it out.
As she yanked, she shouted:
"Uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters."
"Show your true skills, this is Lingying's first dragon meat feast, to entertain the mundane guests, can't lose face for my father, Lord Suppressing Evil."
