The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing spared no effort to gather the five hundred years of lifespan needed to advance to the Rong Yin realm, and thankfully, he succeeded.

It took him several months.

However, before the Strange Embryo Artifact Refining Method was created, the scale of Feng City could only be maintained at around twenty or thirty stalls, no more than that.

He just felt a bit sorry for the Jailers who were being harvested like韭菜(chives).

So, Ren Qing simply placed the Corpse Food on the counter of the Great Dream Pavilion, its price not too expensive, and its effects were also clearly marked.

Corpse Food could extend one's lifespan by two hundred days, but it was only effective upon the first consumption.

His consciousness entered his Niwan Palace, where the thickest mutated tree was the No-Eyed Method.

The appearance of the mutated tree also had distinct changes, its branches covered with horrifying holes, and the eyeball patterns on the leaves became even more realistic.

[Do you want to advance to the Rong Yin realm, which will consume five hundred years of lifespan]

Ren Qing took a deep breath.

Although he had the information stream, which was equivalent to zero risk, the thought of the strange object in his body coming to life still made him uneasy.

When he confirmed the consumption of lifespan, his own lifespan was once again reduced to about twenty years, and his whole body felt as if it had been instantly drained.

Thump, thump, thump...

The sound of a heartbeat echoed in the guest room, but it was not Ren Qing's heart beating, but the Dark Nightmare Lord that had come to life.

He felt his eyes become swollen, and tears flowed involuntarily because of the congestion.

His eye sockets, along with half of his brain, lost all sensation, as if his eyeballs were about to fall out of his body.

Strange phenomena also appeared in the Ghost Market, with dark red patterns once again covering the walls, forming terrifying and ferocious faces that grinned hideously.

However, the Jailers on the street paid no attention to it, only the newly joined recruits could not help but panic.

For the Jailers, the Ghost Market experienced some kind of situation from time to time, they were already used to it, and even appeared calm.

After a while, the dark red patterns faded away one after another.

Ren Qing collapsed on the ground, exhausted, his chest rising and falling.

There was not much difference in his appearance, only the double pupils in his eyes became more mysterious, and his aura was also restrained as he gained control of the strange object.

After Ren Qing advanced to the Rong Yin realm, he could use the Dark Nightmare Lord more freely, but he still had to suppress the instincts of the strange object.

Only when he reached the Shi Yin realm could he be unscrupulous.

He had also figured out the ability of the Dark Nightmare Lord, the activation of the Ghost Ship's keel was indeed closely related to spells.

The Dark Nightmare Lord could turn a certain area into a lightless night.

Ren Qing could use this to shuttle through it, easily teleporting dozens of miles, but the greater the distance, the greater the consumption of the strange object.

As for the Nightmare Transformation of the keel, it was more like a drawback left behind by traveling through the darkness.

When the Ghost Ship rushed out of the sandstorm, Ren Qing forcibly used the Dark Nightmare Transformation to protect himself, resulting in the keel being contaminated with the aura.

If Ren Qing wanted to refine a similar magic weapon, he would probably have to wait until the Shi Yin realm.

His consciousness came to the Niwan Palace again, and the mutated tree of the Dark Nightmare Lord was even larger, its roots even covering the ground.

It had the feel of a brain tree.

Ren Qing looked at the mutated tree of the Dream Butterfly Method, and with just a thought, the roots of the Dark Nightmare Lord immediately extended over.

According to common sense, the primary and secondary spells needed to communicate with the strange objects in the body, then establish contact little by little, and finally deepen it.

But he seemed to be able to skip this step.

The roots wrapped around the mutated tree of the Dream Butterfly Method, and then it was forcibly pulled to his side.

The roots of the Dark Nightmare Lord pierced into the branches of the Dream Butterfly Method, and the latter wanted to struggle, but soon lost its resistance.

Ren Qing immediately felt a connection between the two spells.

The connection was mainly based on the No-Eyed Method, indicating that the primary and secondary roles were indeed established.

However, the Dream Butterfly Method was only at the Ghost Envoy realm after all, and its influence on the Dark Nightmare Lord was too small, and it could not increase much power at all.

Moreover, the Yin Difference realm was only the initial involvement in the fusion of spells, and if there was to be a earth-shattering change, it would probably have to be the Yang God realm.

Ren Qing's consciousness touched the mutated tree of the Dark Nightmare Lord, and the information stream surged.

[Do you want to advance to the Shi Yin realm, which will consume five hundred years of lifespan]

The consumption of lifespan did not increase, which was indeed good news.

Ren Qing could vaguely perceive that the Ghost Market could extend lifespan by up to about a thousand years, but it should be enough to support him in advancing to the Yang God realm.

As the cultivation of the Rong Yin realm was consolidated, the split soul far away in the Qingxu Temple also transformed.

After he used the Heavenly Dao Dream Seed to shield the aura of the split soul, he did not pay too much attention to it, but instead took out a long-sealed book.

[Nightmare Art]

[Conceived by Li Yiyang, it requires ten days of sleeplessness, and finally visualizing the Nightmare Demon sleeping, only those who do not die can cultivate it.]

[After cultivating the Nightmare Art, the Nightmare Demon will be visualized autonomously in dreams, and the powder ground from Changshi flowers can suppress it.]

[Dream Worshiper: Feeds on dreams]

[Dream Sleeper: Half-asleep and half-awake]

[Dream Awakener: Huangliang has no dream]

Since the Jailer Hall placed the Nightmare Art for sale in the Great Dream Art Pavilion, there was naturally detailed information, including the various mutation routes.

The ability of the Dream Worshiper was somewhat similar to the dream entry of the Double Pupil, but the methods were more crude, belonging to directly devouring the soul by eating dreams.

After advancing to the Ghost Envoy realm, they were called "Nightmare Dream Real Person", although they called themselves Real Person, their bodies gradually mutated into Nightmare Demons.

In the Yin Difference realm "Nightmare Demon True Lord", the mutation would be more thorough, belonging to half-human and half-Nightmare.

The Dream Sleeper was slightly more restrained, as if borrowing the power of the Nightmare Demon, so all aspects were a weakened version of the Dream Worshiper.

The Dream Awakener was completely resistant to the Nightmare Demon, which was slightly incompatible with the No-Eyed Method.

Ren Qing prepared to continue to improve the No-Eyed Method as the core spell, and one Dream Butterfly Method was certainly not enough, but fortunately he had exchanged for the Nightmare Art in advance.

As for the Immortal in the Mirror spell, it could actually be used as a secondary spell of the No-Eyed Method, but he always felt it was a bit of a waste.

If Ren Qing could obtain the Disaster Elimination Method in the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Zone, and let the two spells created by *** form a primary and secondary relationship.

The potential of the spells would be able to be unleashed.

Moreover, this world was so dangerous, being able to erase one's own existence with spells was undoubtedly a very good way to save one's life.

[Can consume thirty days of lifespan to master without cost]

Ren Qing felt the blood flowing through his body become slightly black, and the Nightmare Art was obviously gradually turning him into a half-human and half-Nightmare.

Before he could take any countermeasures, the Dark Nightmare Lord's mutated tree in the Niwan Palace moved on its own.

The roots of the mutated tree wrapped around the sapling formed by the Nightmare Art, forcibly dragging it to the surroundings, just to the left and right of the Dream Butterfly Method.

The Nightmare Transformation in Ren Qing's body was then controlled, at least not as serious as recorded in the spell, which showed the dominance of the Rong Yin realm strange object.

Seeing this, he had a thought.

Originally, he was prepared to advance to the Dream Sleeper, after all, the risk of the Dream Worshiper was too great.

But now it seemed that the Dream Worshiper had the Dark Nightmare Lord to suppress it, plus the information stream, which would not cause a large-scale mutation in the body.

After hesitating for a moment, Ren Qing decided, since he had a cheat-like divine power far beyond the imagination of others, why hesitate.

[Do you want to choose the Dream Worshiper branch, which will consume one year and six months of lifespan]

The blackness in the blood gradually spread to the bones and flesh, as if it were some kind of curse pattern, extremely close to the pattern of the Dark Nightmare Lord.

The main soul was fine with the protection of various spells, but the split soul underwent a drastic change.

The split soul shook and stood up in pain, and a bulge gradually enlarged at the neck, which was actually a new head, a Nightmare Demon head.

The split soul did not devour any strange objects, but it advanced to the Strange Food realm because of this.

To be precise, it was not the Strange Food realm of the Water Ze Method, but the Nightmare Food realm of the Immortal Ze Method.

The Immortal Ze Method, by chance, had embarked on an unknown path, and even Ren Qing, the creator, could not understand it.

Ren Qing glanced at the little lifespan left, enough to advance to the Ghost Envoy realm.

[Do you want to choose the Nightmare Dream Real Person branch, which will consume fifteen years of lifespan]

The blood began to flow back, and the Nightmare Demon aura mixed in it directly seeped into the internal organs and began to move towards the outside of the skin.

However, Ren Qing's current situation was relatively special, many organs already had strange objects to which they belonged, and it was unrealistic to want to erode and mutate them.

The Substitute Ghost Skin directly blocked the Nightmare Demon aura, followed by the spine, brain, spine, and internal organs also protected by the stomach.

The Nightmare Dream Real Person sadly discovered that Ren Qing's whole body was actually stationed with six or seven kinds of strange objects, and without exception, they were all above the Ghost Envoy realm.

Ren Qing opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint Nightmare Demon aura emerged from his palm.

With the Nightmare Art, the Dark Nightmare Lord's system was much more complete, and he believed that using the ability of Darkness Without Light again would be completely different.

Ren Qing did not expect that after the primary and secondary spells became related, the information stream would put the strange change branches of the three spells together.

It could be seen that after reaching the Yang God realm, there would definitely be a fusion between the spells.

He was even more determined to lay a good foundation for the future advancement to the Heavenly Strange realm.

If the Heavenly Strange realm of the Jailer Method was the End Sutra, then as a cultivator who pioneered the way forward, he would naturally be unprecedented and unsurpassed.

Ren Qing ended his retreat, and then let the Ghost Market collect lifespan.

He planned to continue to accumulate lifespan until he had enough two hundred years to advance the Dream Butterfly Method, thereby improving the efficiency of lifespan extension.

Then it would be the Shadowless Ghost and Netherworld Skill, with the lifespan extension of the Heavenly Dao Method, his strength would skyrocket again, and even the No-Eyed Method would reach the Shi Yin realm in a short time.

Ren Qing shook his head to suppress his distracting thoughts, and the split soul seemed to have completed its transformation.

The Nightmare Demon head was completely unlike ordinary people, its skin covered with red and black patterns, and a faint Nightmare Demon aura flowed out of its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Ren Qing drove the split soul out of the Heavenly Dao Insect larva, and did not notice the abnormality of the Nightmare Demon head.

The Strange Food realm of the Water Ze Method was to devour three kinds of strange objects, and grow three heads after cutting off the three corpses.

Judging from the situation of the split soul, does it mean that it has already cut off one of the three corpses?

He then tried to use the ability of the Nightmare Demon head, but the neck made a strange noise, and the positions of the two heads were reversed.

The red and black patterns began to spread, and the Nightmare Transformation became more and more intense.

Too late, I will make up for the one thousand I owed yesterday tomorrow.

[Thank you to 希思冰茶(Xi Si Bing Cha), a reward I never expected.]
