Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 237 - 181: Treasure Bead Hidden in White Bone Mountain, Mao Ri Dharma Form with a Majestic Momentum
The human fetus bag was cleansed by the Pure Immortal Water, and amidst the shrieking, it revealed its true form—an enormous blood and flesh cloth bag that could engulf the island below it.
Hearing Tao Qian's mockery, a female face suddenly emerged on the surface of the flesh, quite pretty but with an undeniable evil qi between her brows and eyes.
Clearly, that was the Artifact Spirit within the bag.
It had racked its brains trying to trick Tao Qian into the bag.
Failing that was not a problem, as it had also prepared a treasure-hunting plot, hoping to be taken away by a disciple entering the Absolute Immortal Sea Islands as a valuable treasure.
Either scenario would help it escape this dire place.
Unfortunately, it encountered Tao Qian, and both plans were utterly out of the question.
"In your dreams!"
After letting out a scream, the massive blood and flesh bag attempted to flee.
In the surge of red light, it was as if a Blood River had suddenly appeared above the sky.
However, there was no escape.
Had it fled immediately before Tao Qian took out the Spirit Treasure Jade Purifying Bottle, it might have had a chance for survival.
It is known that although the Jade Purifying Bottle was a counterfeit that the Duobao Lord mimicked from a Buddhist Sect treasure, its efficacy was extraordinarily unique, especially after being consecrated and refined using the Forbidden Techniques of Yunhua Immortal, transforming it into a genuinely valuable and highly effective treasure.
Otherwise, Tao Qian would not have received it with "both legs" as protection for his frail disciple who had just completed Foundation Establishment.
Inside the upside-down bottle neck, apart from the Pure Immortal Water washing it down, an unrivaled suction force emerged.
If the human fetus bag had a master controlling it, it would not have been defeated.
But masterless versus with master, the gap was too wide.
The two Magical Treasures barely struggled before the victor was decided, and amid the woman's frustrated expression, the human fetus bag shrunk continuously, eventually transforming into a small blood bag and was collected by the Jade Purifying Bottle.
Tao Qian reached out and cradled the spinning treasure in his palm.
Leaning in, he listened as inside it seemed waves were surging, mixed with sharp screeches, which gradually subsided after a while.
However, Tao Qian still had no intention of releasing it but merely shook the Jade Purifying Bottle, sighed, and then unapologetically revealed:
"This Artifact Spirit was born alongside the human fetus bag, deeply rooted in demonic nature, and even the Mixed Element Qi Unpolluted Great Prohibition would require at least twenty-four hours to purge you."
"Once inside the Jade Purifying Bottle, you stand no chance of survival, and playing dead is useless."
Indeed, just as Tao Qian finished speaking,
immediately from within the bottle came the sound of a tsunami, mixed with numerous curses and scolding.
Regrettably, Tao Qian did not listen and simply stored the Jade Purifying Bottle away.
This treasure was extremely useful.
Inside, the Great Prohibition isolated many demon-refining spaces. Even after collecting the human fetus bag, it didn't hinder Tao Qian's continued use of it.
Meanwhile, something else seemed to come to Tao Qian's mind as he looked down.
An anticipated yet extremely horrifying scene was unfolding:
As the human fetus bag was removed, the myriad strange people on the Big Island below were dying, withering away.
They wailed and transformed into viscous, rotting flesh, rejoining a massive corpse.
This corpse was truly a "Giant Temple."
Mountainous and akin to a giant, it floated on the sea.
Tao Qian deliberately ignored the mutated parts of her body, from the robes, jewelry, and other possessions, it was faintly evident she was a woman, one of high realm who had perished many years ago.
Her abdomen, where the human fetus bag had been, was now empty.
It seemed that by losing that treasure, she began sinking toward the seabed.
Upon seeing this, Tao Qian did not intervene but simply performed a ritual in the air, saying, "Disciple Tao Qian, respectfully sees off Lingmu Immortal!"
Not long after his words fell, the corpse vanished without a trace.
An entire Big Island, bizarrely and completely, disappeared.

But the many benefits of that island had already entered Tao Qian's pocket well before.
The island's secrets were fully comprehended by Tao Qian when he touched the Holy Mountain transformed from that human fetus bag.
"This island, in fact, was the corpse of a Sect elder called 'Lingmu Immortal.'"
"She failed disastrously in the contest at the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, her Dao completely severed. To prevent destruction, she transformed back to the Absolute Immortal Sea Islands in her last moment and died unnoticed here, her massive corpse astonishingly becoming a Big Island."
"All her accumulated Magical Treasures were destroyed in the fierce contest, only the mutated blood and flesh body remained, perhaps by coincidence, perhaps due to the Lifebound Scripture she cultivated."
"After many years, her body nurtured an Exotic Treasure—the 'human fetus bag.'"
"This object is between Innate and Acquired, capable of directly producing different strange people, albeit with many flaws, unable to reproduce."
"If the accompanying Evil Spirits in the bag are eradicated, it can be used for Refining Treasures."
"The human fetus bag has Special Abilities, sure to refine into a significant treasure."
"Yet, I did not expect that my first acquired relic here with the Absolute Immortal Token would be such."
These thoughts flashed through Tao Qian's mind, besides looking forward to the treasures he would receive after twelve hours.
In his mind, a new speculation also arose:
Could the origins of these Big Islands within the Absolute Immortal Sea Islands all be like Holy Embryo Island, transformed from the corpses of Sect elders?
With one precedent, Tao Qian felt this speculation might indeed be accurate.
Yet if so, it spawned new secrets.
Are the physical bodies of high-realm powerful cultivators all that large?
Or do they ultimately lose their Human Clan form?
Pondering these, Tao Qian didn't linger any further and continued exploring the seas ahead.
Despite having the "Spirit Treasure Jade Purifying Bottle" in hand, Tao Qian was not arrogant but was always cautious, maintaining a very slow and careful search.
Should he detect any Great Prohibition covering a Big Island, he would preemptively avoid it even if it were hundreds of miles away.
