The Secret Way of Immortality

Within the Yellow Crane Temple, a stone platform was gradually being erected, precisely in preparation for the Ascension Ceremony.

Undercurrents began to surge within the city's large Taoist temples, especially the Qingfeng Temple and the White Dragon Temple, each with forces that were not to be outdone.

Faced with the opportunity to advance to the Ghoul Devouring Realm, how could the Marshlanders in the Devouring Realm be as calm as they appeared on the surface? They would definitely try to seize it.

What kind of situation would arise during the Ascension Ceremony was unknown.

However, because the Yellow Crane Temple did not specify a specific date, Ren Qing had to wait patiently, while also perusing the newly acquired Marshland Method.

The Marshland Method was created by a certain cultivator and was a technique specifically used to create slaves.

After cultivation, one would transform into a so-called Ant Immortal, tirelessly surrounding the Pustule Taoist, feeding the Heavenly Dao Worm that parasitized his body.

It was just a deceptive technique; it was somewhat lucky that the Gobi people could successfully cultivate it.

Unfortunately, Liu Chuan had not yet reached the Ghoul Devouring Realm, and the content of the Marshland Method was still incomplete, preventing the information stream from viewing the originator.

Ren Qing also found that the information on the Ghoul Devouring Realm was very perfunctory. If one really wanted to break through the bottleneck with it, the hidden risks were probably not small.

Moreover, the Ghoul Devouring Realm was indeed somewhat similar to Li Yaoyang's Gu worms.

The Marshlander had to swallow the strange object into their body, and their body would undergo uncontrollable alienation as a result.

Only by completely digesting the strange object could one reach the Ghoul Devouring Realm.

Ren Qing was deeply skeptical; how could the strange objects of the Ghost Envoy Realm be so easy to deal with? Moreover, Li Yaoyang had not completely died.

This should be Li Yaoyang's opportunity; it depended on whether he could seize it.

The Ghoul Devouring Realm required the digestion of three kinds of strange objects, and then it would reach perfection, which, in the eyes of the Marshlanders, was true immortality.

However, even the Ghoul Devouring Realm was not at the level of the Yang God Realm at all, and the limitations of the Marshland Method were fully exposed.

Theoretically speaking, the Jailer Hall was enough to flatten Yellow Sand City, provided that the Qingxu Palace in the clouds did not intervene, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

Ren Qing considered the possibility of the split soul cultivating the Marshland Method, constantly scribbling and modifying the technique in the book, trying to revise it.

The main thing was to improve the formation conditions of the Marshlanders.

Originally, they were born from the main body and then absorbed the body and soul to generate consciousness. He preferred something similar to devouring the Water Soul, where the body and soul were directly transformed into a Marshlander, with fewer drawbacks.

Ren Qing used the Water Soul as the medicinal primer for the entry of the technique, took a pile of techniques as a reference, and forcibly pieced together the relevant content.

As a result, it only took two days for the new Marshland Method to be created. During this time, he also went to the Yellow Crane Temple to deal with the corpses.

What the Marshland Method was called before was unknown, so Ren Qing renamed it.

[Marsh Immortal Method]

[Created by Ren Qing, it requires the Water Soul as a medicinal primer, and exposure to the sun for three days until the body and soul are completely alienated before it can be cultivated.]

[Once the Marsh Immortal Method is mastered, he cannot stay outside for a long time before the Ghoul Devouring Realm.]

Ren Qing planned to have the split soul master the Marsh Immortal Method.

Anyway, every time the split soul is destroyed, re-gestation will return it to its original state.

If he finds techniques related to the soul in the future, the split soul can be transferred to practice.

But it may be that the means of creating the technique was too rough, resulting in the initial mastery of the Marsh Immortal Method requiring ten years of lifespan for the Self-Devouring Realm.

In terms of Ren Qing's existing lifespan, ten years was more than enough, but he still tried to let the split soul cultivate on its own.

Even if there was something wrong with the split soul, it would not matter much.

Ren Qing's split soul appeared in the abdominal prison, holding the Water Soul in both hands and no longer moving, trying to gradually absorb it with the split soul.

After about two or three hours, the Water Soul had shrunk a little.

The split soul seemed to be no different, but in fact, its body had become ethereal, and occasionally, water-like ripples could be found.

Ren Qing did not rush to continue absorbing, first put the split soul back into the Niwan Palace, and started again after confirming that it would not affect the main soul.

One Water Soul after another disappeared into the hands of the split soul, and it gradually became translucent.

When the alienation of the split soul reached its limit, it could no longer maintain its human form, but instead turned into a puddle of clear water on the ground.

Ren Qing hesitated for a moment, thinking that even if he lost the split soul, it would not have much impact on the current situation, so he brought the split soul into the flesh and blood furnace.

The situation of the split soul was different from normal cultivation. It was estimated that sunbathing would not be of much use, so he simply used fire to bake it directly.

The fire was suppressed to the size of a fist.

The split soul floated in the air, and a few flames wrapped around it.

"Hiss..."

Ren Qing could not help but gasp in empathy, and the split soul bubbled up like boiling water, grinning in pain.

But he did not give up, letting the high temperature make the split soul sizzle.

Part of the split soul's body appeared to be gasified, but according to the progress, it was far from over.

After two hours, the split soul had only shrunk by a third.

Ren Qing thought that a long pain was worse than a short one.

The fire suddenly became stronger, and the main soul immediately felt a strange sense of suffocation.

He tried his best to endure it until the split soul was completely gasified, forming a human-shaped mist.

Ren Qing silently recited the content of the Marsh Immortal Method, and the split soul began to condense, and a Self-Devouring Realm Marshlander appeared in the flesh and blood furnace.

The Marshlander split soul still retained the traces of the Three Flowers Gathering on the Top, but it always felt more natural.

Moreover, when the split soul reached the Self-Devouring Realm, Ren Qing's suppression of the Dark Nightmare Lord's strange object became obvious, indicating that it could also help to cultivate the No-Eyed Method.

Seeing this, he called out the information stream.

[Do you want to advance to the He-Devouring Realm, which will consume twenty years of lifespan]

Ren Qing did not hesitate to choose to consume it. Anyway, the current seventy years of lifespan could only complete one strange transformation at most, so it was better to use it here.

The Marshlander split soul underwent a drastic change. Under normal circumstances, swallowing a pseudo-Marshlander could bring the Five Qi Towards the Origin, but now it was forcibly created out of thin air.

The aura it emitted became more ethereal, and the lotus flowers on the forehead and ears, if they did not bloom, were like real flowers.

The five-colored human faces in the palms of both hands showed mysterious expressions.

Logically speaking, the image of the split soul was more bluffing than Ren Qing's main body, and it was even enough for unsuspecting people to kowtow and worship.

In terms of strength, the He-Devouring Realm was already comparable to the Yin Messenger Realm, but the means were too simple and it was easy to be targeted by the enemy.

It was not realistic to use it as a trump card, but it was more than enough as a split soul.

The Marsh Immortal Method seemed simple to advance, but in fact, the body and soul had to be completely alienated first, then five groups of pseudo-Marshlanders had to be absorbed, and then the strange object had to be digested.

The risks far outweighed the benefits, and it could not advance to the Yang God Realm.

To prevent Xiangxiang from appearing similar to Yellow Sand City, the Marsh Immortal Method must not be spread.

Ren Qing glanced at the information stream again and found that it would take a hundred years to advance to the Ghoul Devouring Realm.

He reacted.

In terms of drawbacks, there were not many, after all, it was mastered by a split soul that was unrelated to the body and soul.

But the Self-Devouring Realm required the Water Soul as a medicinal primer, so it was necessary to consume ten years of lifespan, and the He-Devouring Realm and Ghoul Devouring Realm were the same.

The difficulty of the Marsh Immortal Method was the materials for advancement and withstanding the alienation.

If Ren Qing cultivated it himself, it should not take too long to advance to the Ghoul Devouring Realm, but he would try again after leaving Yellow Sand City.

After he ended his short retreat, he found that the corpses in the mass burial mound outside the city had increased by hundreds, almost like a mountain.

The Flying Immortal Ceremony was also steadily advancing, at least the stone platform of the Yellow Crane Temple had been built.

However, the Yellow Crane Immortal probably did not know that Li Yaoyang still had a breath, and it could be seen from the subtle gnawing marks on the corpses that the latter's consciousness was gradually recovering.

The Changshi Taoist who was familiar with Shasanzi had also disappeared, and he probably died silently at the hands of the Yellow Crane Immortal.

Ren Qing was slightly regretful and had an idea, planning to send a favor and let the ghost deliberately contact the Yellow Crane's outgoing welcoming Taoist.

After he did these things, he turned his attention to the towering Ascension Ladder.

Ren Qing did not know if he would come to Yellow Sand City again, and suddenly felt that it was very necessary to go to the Ascension Ladder to see, maybe there would be other gains.

He came to the corner of the north of the city, and his appearance gradually changed under the influence of the Immortal in the Mirror, and finally became a hunched old man.

Ren Qing seemed to lift the rock with difficulty and walked slowly towards the Ascension Ladder.

There were many Gobi people traveling with him.

Their ages were generally over forty, and they were all devout Immortal seekers, exchanging this life's cultivation for the hope of becoming an Immortal in the next life.

Although everything will eventually be empty.

But it has to be said that the Gobi people's xinxing is indeed a seedling for cultivating the Jailer Method. They can endure hardship, are not afraid of death, and have a desire to become an Immortal.

If the Jailer Hall controlled Yellow Sand City, there would be hundreds more reserve members in just a few years.

Moreover, in this place of the Marsh, it is difficult for ordinary strange objects to form a restricted area. The Marsh Sand mixed with remnant souls is like a swarm of ants eating elephants, easily grinding down the strange objects.

Ren Qing stepped onto the stone ladder, and the rocks rubbed against each other and creaked.

The sun shone on his body, and the heat seeped into his pores, and the temperature of his flesh, bones, and bones became higher and higher.

The Marshlanders did not pay attention to the Ascension Ladder, Ren Qing was not worried about being discovered, and in a moment, he had reached the highest point of the entire Yellow Sand City.

He looked to the north, and the wind and sand obscured his vision, making it difficult to see the situation clearly.

However, the time Ren Qing chose was very clever, and it was not long before the day and night alternated, and the wind and sand then subsided somewhat.

The pupils in his squinted eyes turned, and his brows could not help but frown tightly.

In the direction of Jing Prefecture, a second full moon rose, and it was blood red, which was the "blood moon" in the mouth of the Heavenly Daozi.

The light of the blood moon caused the edge of the Marsh to show signs of dissipating, which should also be the reason why the desertification was spreading to Xiangxiang.

Ren Qing did not stay for too long, stared for a few breaths and then climbed down the Ascension Ladder.

The situation in Xiangxiang was not optimistic. Even if there was the Marsh as a buffer, it did not mean that the disaster in Jing Prefecture would not spread over.

He returned to the courtyard to continue preparing for the matter of escaping from Yellow Sand City, estimating that it would not be long.

Ren Qing suddenly felt that there were more casualties of welcoming Taoists in the Yellow Crane Temple, and all the flesh and blood on the corpses were taken to feed the Gu worms.

In a closed room in the Yellow Crane Temple, hundreds of black beetles were gnawing on corpses.

However, one of the beetles stopped aside, and the antennae on its head kept shaking, as if thinking about something.

Just as the corpse was about to be eaten away, black liquid flowed out of the bone marrow and then formed some words on the ground.

The beetle hesitated for a moment and checked it, and its body could not help but tremble.

"Ren Qing..."

Li Yaoyang finally found the place of life in nine deaths. How could he face the Yellow Crane Immortal by relying on his partial understanding of the Marshlanders.

Originally, he had already planned to die together, pulling the Yellow Crane Immortal into Abi Hell, maybe he could bring clues to the Jailer Hall.

Li Yaoyang did not expect that Ren Qing would also come to the gathering place of the Marshlanders.

He was able to hide his whereabouts so secretly, and his cultivation might be one step faster than himself, and he had already reached the Yin Messenger Realm.

He sighed in his heart and firmly remembered the content.

Then Li Yaoyang swiped the ghost with his insect feet and laboriously wrote a line of words, mainly to tell Ren Qing not to take action.

Ren Qing also hinted with the ghost at the intrigues of the various Taoist temples.

Li Yaoyang continued to digest the information he got, and gradually had a plan in his mind.

The room returned to darkness, and soon even the sound of corpses gnawing disappeared, and then a few Taoists came in to deal with the remains.

The Yellow Crane Immortal's crazy laughter echoed.

With an unspeakable excitement, full of desire to become an immortal and attain the Tao.

The new group has just been established, and the old group has exploded, 451687497
