The Secret Way of Immortality

Without much hesitation, Ren Qing proactively released a wisp of his soul to ascend to the Pure Void Palace.

He knew that the current situation in the swamp involved Jing Prefecture, and a slight carelessness could lead to disaster for the entire Xiangxiang.

Since it couldn't be explained in just a few words, he had to rush to the Forbidden Garrison camp to inform Li Tiangang and the others in person.

The separated soul was mainly for guarding the Pure Void Palace, so that if uncontrollable situations arose, Ren Qing could understand them as soon as possible.

While he was in a daze, a sandstorm howled over.

The White Dragon Immortal also noticed the swamp people who suddenly appeared in the sandstorm. Although he didn't stop them, he couldn't help but walk quickly towards them.

Ren Qing didn't care about the separated soul being absorbed by the Pure Void Palace and strode away at a frantic pace.

Immediately, the Sand Body escaped from the Prison Within, causing Ren Qing to transform into a thirty-meter giant, forming a huge shadow within the sandstorm.

The White Dragon Immortal looked stunned, standing at the city gate and watching Ren Qing's departing figure.

He could feel the terrifying aura, which was not as rich even in the Ghoul Devouring Realm. It even gave rise to a life-threatening sense of dread at a single glance.

He only felt better after Ren Qing disappeared from sight.

When Ren Qing reached the eye of the storm, his body reached the limit of what it could withstand against the strange object. He re-imprisoned the Sand Body and used the Sand Boat to travel forward.

His mentality also calmed down.

The appearance of the Heavenly Dao Worm of the Wuwei Taoist Temple's Sect Master in the desolate swamp was already very telling.

Jing Prefecture must be extremely chaotic, and the Heavenly Dao Worm's control over Jing Prefecture must no longer be secure.

The forces intervening in it should not be the Beast Enclosure, but most likely a new force related to the Blood Moon, which caused the Heavenly Dao Worm to come to the swamp.

The conflict between cultivation forces would not produce results in a year or two, requiring at least several decades, and the flames of war would not spread to Xiangxiang.

The specifics depended on the Forbidden Garrison Hall's countermeasures.

Ren Qing calmed his mind and controlled the Sand Boat. With the experience of the previous two times, he quickly rushed out of the sandstorm.

The Pure Void Palace still stood in the clouds overhead, but Ren Qing didn't know why he felt much more relaxed and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

After adjusting the helm, the Sand Boat sailed towards the Forbidden Garrison camp.

Ren Qing walked into the cabin, then brought out a man and a dog from the Prison Within.

The husky showed a look of horror and began to bark loudly, but when it saw Ren Qing, it obediently lay on the ground.

Its body had grown again, mainly due to eating the Blood Vine Fruit.

Although this plant contained toxins, it seemed to stimulate the growth of wild beasts, of course, provided that they could withstand the toxins of the Blood Vine Fruit without dying.

In addition to the husky, there was also a middle-aged Taoist with a bewildered expression.

"Immortal Master, this is..."

Sha Shanzi had reached the Martial Human Realm, and the change in appearance was not obvious, only his skin was slightly rough, unlike his original thinness.

Facts proved that the Wind Sand Qi Refining Method could indeed help master the Wind Sand Technique, and of course, the physique of the Gobi people also played a part.

"Sha Shanzi, help me protect the boat, remember to cultivate the Wind Sand Technique more."

Ren Qing didn't explain, and as he turned around, he pointed his finger at Sha Shanzi's brow, blurring the part of the memory related to the Prison Within.

Even if he planned to inform the Pure Void Palace and Yellow Sand City about the matter, he still had to consider carefully when it came to his own secrets.

Ren Qing walked into the room, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to feel the distant separated soul.

Sha Shanzi had only seen the concept of boats in books, how could he imagine that boats could travel quickly in sand?

He came to the deck in a daze, watching the Sand Boat shuttle between the hills, and the surrounding things were gradually receding.

The sandstorm was getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

The residents of Yellow Sand City had never left the Gobi from birth to death. For him, the outside world was a forbidden place, a forbidden place where immortals could not survive.

But now the door was slowly opening.

Sha Shanzi looked nervous. He had seen Ren Qing's earth-shattering cultivation and knew that he was going to a place where immortals gathered.

Comparing Ren Qing's appearance with that of the Swamp Immortals, he found that apart from the evil of the Wind Sand Technique, the former was indeed more worthy of being called an "immortal".

Sha Shanzi couldn't help but sigh: "How can a small place be an immortal realm, how can Yellow Sand City be considered a great world..."

The keel of the Sand Boat roared, and the sails were stretched straight.

Seeing this, Sha Shanzi returned to the cabin, choosing to cultivate spells in the storeroom, striving to advance to the half-corpse realm recorded in the books as soon as possible.

Ren Qing could sense Sha Shanzi next door, but ignored him, focusing all his attention on the separated soul.

He had prepared himself for the loss of the separated soul, but he didn't expect the situation in the Pure Void Palace to be more complicated than he had imagined...

The Pure Void Temple had three Taoist temples. The central Taoist temple's gate was open, and all the ascended swamp people poured into it in unison.

The separated soul was absorbed into the Taoist temple in a daze. Inside, there were a large number of prayer mats, and he was fixed on a prayer mat.

The other swamp people were the same, including the Yellow Crane Immortal, whose face was pale.

Ren Qing's separated soul looked around and found that the decoration was almost the same as the Wuwei Taoist Temple's council hall, except that there was no statue of the Taoist ancestor.

"I am a true immortal, release me quickly!!!"

The Yellow Crane Immortal was located in a corner and couldn't help but shout loudly.

As the most senior swamp person in Yellow Sand City, and likely to advance to the Ghoul Devouring Realm at any time, he naturally wouldn't be willing to be controlled by others.

As the Yellow Crane Immortal spoke, the head at his neck became somewhat swollen, showing that Li Yaoyang's soul was about to transform.

The swamp people could all see that something was wrong with the Yellow Crane Immortal, but they had only just cultivated to the Self-Eating Realm and didn't dare to react at all.

"I am a true immortal... true immortal..."

Pus flowed from the Yellow Crane Immortal's mouth and nose, and his condition became increasingly out of control.

Ren Qing's eyes showed a slight pity. The prayer mats in the Taoist temple were definitely used to restrict the swamp people, and the separated soul couldn't exert any strength.

The Yellow Crane Immortal's cultivation was imprisoned, and Li Yaoyang's soul had a chance to take advantage of it. It depended on whether the latter could make a desperate gamble.

Just then, footsteps sounded.

A figure walked in, bringing a sense of oppression as real as substance.

Ren Qing took a closer look and saw that this person was wearing a Wuwei Taoist Temple robe, his skin was extremely pale, and a faint smell of alcohol gradually dissipated.

The Taoist walked to the center and swept his eyes over the many swamp people with a strange look.

This was not about becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao, but clearly like a slaughterhouse for selecting livestock. At this moment, compared with Yellow Sand City, it seemed extremely absurd.

Ren Qing noticed that this Taoist was very similar to the Blind Taoist. Most of his soul had actually dissipated, but it was forcibly gathered.

The Yellow Crane Immortal was still talking to himself, as if he was talking to himself.

The Taoist quietly reminded: "Yellow Crane, be silent."

How could the Yellow Crane Immortal control himself? His own head gradually shrank, and finally it was almost the same size as Li Yaoyang's head.

The two heads quarreled, making the surrounding swamp people shudder.

The Taoist didn't say anything more. A large number of blisters began to grow on his skin. After they burst, the permeated wine became more and more intense.

The wine was like a living thing, and in the blink of an eye, it burrowed into the Yellow Crane Immortal's body, causing the latter's flesh to show a tendency to collapse.

Ren Qing was not far from the Yellow Crane Immortal, and could feel the wine passing by his cheeks, and the separated soul suddenly felt drunk.

The Yellow Crane Immortal couldn't help but let out a scream, looking at the Taoist with an unbelievable expression, and the arm he raised disappeared as his flesh turned into water vapor.

"You... you... you..."

He tried hard to break free from the prayer mat, but instead accelerated the collapse of his flesh.

The swamp people had the idea of ​​rabbits dying and foxes mourning. The joy of ascension had long been diluted, and they even lowered their heads and dared not look at the Yellow Crane Immortal.

Ren Qing's separated soul didn't have the observation power of the Double Pupils, so he didn't know the current situation of Li Yaoyang, so he had to wait patiently.

At this moment, the Taoist spoke again: "White Stone Taoist, are you willing to become the Earth and Wood Immortal of the Pure Void Temple?"

"I am willing."

The swamp person named White Stone nodded with a wry smile. He had tried so hard to become an immortal, but the result was to come to the immortal world to repair Taoist temples.

It's better to stay in Yellow Sand City...

He felt that the prayer mat had loosened its restraints, got up and walked out of the Taoist temple.

White Stone Immortal looked at the swamp people who were receiving him, each of whom had the cultivation of the Completion of the Ghoul Devouring Realm. In the mortal world, they were equivalent to the Yellow Crane Immortal.

The Taoist began to assign other swamp people.

In addition to the Earth and Wood Immortal, there was also the Leech Worm Immortal who fed maggots, the Dirt Removal Immortal who cleaned dirt, and the Wine Warming Immortal who brewed wine.

Ren Qing's separated soul had good luck and was assigned to the Wine Warming Immortal.

However, he didn't rush to leave, choosing to wait for a moment at the gate of the Taoist temple. The situation of the Yellow Crane Immortal's corpse was still unknown.

"Lu Shanzi, are you willing to become the Dirt Removal Immortal of the Pure Void Temple?"

"I am willing."

Lu Shan Immortal nodded.

However, after he saw that there were fewer and fewer people outside the Taoist temple, his thoughts became more and more complicated.

"Lu Shanzi, take the corpse to the back mountain."

After the Taoist finished speaking, he turned and left, walking out of the Taoist temple and slowly sinking into the ground, as if merging with the Pustule Old Taoist.

Lu Shanzi didn't touch the corpse. What could he care about? He ran out of the Pure Void Temple in a panic, trying to fly back to Yellow Sand City.

A lot of strange laughter came from the Pure Void Temple.

Those swamp people in his Ghoul Devouring Realm had greedy expressions. The mouths of the five-colored human faces spit out long tongues, wrapping around Lu Shan Immortal in mid-air.

It was useless for Lu Shan Immortal to regret it, his body was divided into dozens of pieces.

The creepy sucking sound rang out.

The middle-aged swamp person looked at Ren Qing and urged: "Let's go, the corpse in the council hall will naturally be handled by the Dirt Removal Immortal."

He had Lu Shan Immortal's arm in his hand, eating it whole.

Unexpectedly, this Taoist temple was also called the council hall, which shows that even if the Heavenly Daozi died, he still wanted to preserve the inheritance of the Wuwei Taoist Temple.

"Okay."

Ren Qing followed behind the middle-aged swamp person, turning back to look at the Yellow Crane Immortal's corpse.

Li Yaoyang should be hiding in the corpse without accident, I wonder if he can advance to the Yin Messenger Realm.

Ren Qing came to the side room behind the council hall.

The middle-aged swamp person reluctantly sucked the last mouthful of flesh and blood.

He opened the door, which was extremely dark, and there were more than a dozen earthen vats.

Most of the earthen vats were sealed with cover plates, and they contained a lot of clear water, which should be taken from the pool water flowing out of the Heavenly Dao Worm.

The middle-aged swamp person pointed to the earthen vats, signaling Ren Qing to go in.

"Ah?"

"The duty of the Wine Warming Immortal is to brew wine. This is the rule of the Pure Void Temple."

After Ren Qing walked into the earthen vat, the middle-aged swamp person sealed the mouth of the vat with a cover plate.

The corners of Ren Qing's mouth twitched. The main material for brewing wine was actually himself?

It seems that the separated soul is going to be wasted. If it is re-bred, the Swamp Immortal Method is equal to being cultivated in vain.
