The Secret Way of Immortality

Sun looked at the Peng bird transformed from the ghost ship, feeling ashamed and coughing a few times awkwardly, then immediately spread its wings and flew high.

The Peng bird's speed was not fast, just enough to parallel Sun, allowing the prison guards to communicate.

Ren Qing already had a general idea of how to deal with the Pure Void Temple, and he had told the others in his spare time, but the details still needed to be supplemented.

With the limited information available, they didn't have many options.

First, they could be certain that the Drunken Flesh Taoist maintained his vitality through the liquor transformed from the Marsh People, which led to the current situation in the swamp.

Now that the balance was broken, the Drunken Flesh Taoist would soon turn to ashes, and the swamp might very well disappear with him.

The Prison Guard Hall had to maintain the corpse's vitality to ensure the swamp's stability.

Inside the mountain-like corpse, there was a place that could absorb liquor to replace the Drunken Flesh Taoist's constantly decaying blood.

At that time, a group of prison guards with exploration techniques would delve into the corpse's interior.

The Heavenly Dao Worm also had to be dealt with.

The best way, of course, was to pull it directly into the Avici Hell. Even if the Heavenly Dao Worm was in the Yang God Realm, it would be a turtle in a jar on the Prison Guard's territory.

Pulling the Heavenly Dao Worm into the Avici Hell had another benefit: it would be easier for the Supreme Heavenly Demon to deal with it without being exposed to the outside world.

If the Great Dream Master and the Supreme Heavenly Demon fought in the swamp, the violent movements might attract outside forces.

For the sake of stability, the Yin Messenger Realm cultivators unanimously decided to keep the risk to a minimum, otherwise Xiangxiang might be exposed.

If it was absolutely necessary, they would have to follow the Great Dream Master's plan and take tens of thousands of people into the Avici Hell to evacuate Xiangxiang.

The cultivator behind the Pure Void Temple was also someone to be wary of.

The faces of the crowd were solemn, but the more they encountered such a situation, the more they had to remain calm.

The top priority was to solve the trouble of the Heavenly Dao Worm hanging over their heads. The Drunken Flesh Taoist could barely maintain himself for the time being.

Huang Ziwan and the other prison guards were confused, but they could clearly sense the oppressive atmosphere and couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

They couldn't interrupt either.

While the Yin Messenger Realm cultivators were discussing, they quickly approached the Pure Void Temple.

Li Tiangang reminded, "Everyone be careful, don't hold back against the Marsh People..."

"We're here!!"

Sun suddenly flapped its wings, creating a large amount of clouds out of thin air. Accompanied by a few cries, the Pure Void Temple became faintly visible.

Ren Qing couldn't help but be interested. In fact, Sun's technique was somewhat interesting. On the surface, it was just transforming into a Nether Crow, but it could travel between the realms of reality and illusion.

It was good material for a jailer.

The Pure Void Palace gradually revealed itself, the prison guards stood ready, and the fluctuations of techniques intensified.

When the clouds completely dissipated, the corpse of the Drunken Flesh Taoist was exposed, but the situation was unexpected. The Pure Void Temple was extremely silent.

The buildings were tilted and crooked, looking like ruins.

It no longer had the original immortal aura. The ground was full of deep pits, even exposing parts of the corpse's rotten flesh.

Ren Qing and Sun exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised.

They hadn't paid attention to the Pure Void Temple for only a few days, but it had become so dilapidated, as if a world-shattering battle had taken place.

As Sun flapped its wings, the stench of the corpse rushed towards them.

"Ugh..."

Huang Ziwan couldn't help but cover his mouth, feeling like he was about to vomit from the stench, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

What made him feel even more outrageous was that the toxins in his body had become active, indicating that this place was very suitable for his cultivation.

The remaining prison guards were not much better, all with flushed faces.

Seeing this, Sun shook his head and said, "There wasn't such a stench before. Could it be that the corpse of the Heavenly Gu Realm is about to..."

It was no wonder the Great Dream Master had hastily summoned the Yin Messenger Realm cultivators. Ren Qing realized that the situation was indeed much worse than he had imagined.

The methods of draining the pond to get all the fish by the mastermind should have been going on for some time, but it only fully broke out because of the arrival of the prison guards.

Two dream seeds appeared on Ren Qing's forehead.

He looked towards the wound on the back of the Drunken Flesh Taoist's head, and saw that the Heavenly Dao Worm was indeed becoming active, even appearing somewhat manic.

This was good news for the Prison Guard Hall. The decay of the corpse would weaken the Heavenly Dao Worm, after all, the latter was parasitized on it.

Li Tiangang said in a heavy tone, "We don't have much time left, we must control the situation as soon as possible."

He then asked Ren Qing, "Ren Qing, what can your pupil technique see?"

"The surface of the Pure Void Temple is completely silent, the Marsh People and Taoist officials are nowhere to be seen."

Ren Qing shook his head.

The Dark Nightmare Lord had only just entered the Yin Messenger Realm of Fusion, so it was obviously unrealistic to want to see through the corpse of the Heavenly Gu Realm.

"I'll give it a try."

Song Zongwu suddenly said.

As soon as he said this, all the prison guards looked at Song Zongwu.

Although the Truth Listening Technique was also closely related to the eyes, its ability was biased towards discerning truth from falsehood, and it could also provide some enhancement to the body.

Song Zongwu released a faint Buddha light, then forcefully tapped his forehead.

Another eye actually grew out of the Six-Eyed's forehead, but it was the size of a fist, pure white and colorless, looking extremely mysterious.

Ren Qing didn't understand the techniques that Song Zongwu had mastered, but the words "Buddha Eye" suddenly popped into his mind, which seemed a bit abrupt.

This technique seemed to be borrowing an immense and infinite power.

It might not even be a Prison Guard technique, but some kind of foreign technique.

The ghost ship made an overwhelmed sound, and Song Zongwu became even heavier.

Fortunately, the keel of the ghost ship was refined from the ribs of the Ksitigarbha, and its cultivation was also at the level of a half-corpse, which barely supported it.

After carefully looking for a moment, Song Zongwu said without hesitation, "There is no breath of the living, and no life in the dead. I only feel a wisp of soul in the corpse, which seems to be related to the Prison Guard technique..."

"Wait, could it be Li Yaoyang?"

Song Zongwu raised his eyebrows. He had thought that Li Yaoyang was long dead, but he didn't expect him to still be alive, and his aura was gradually strengthening.

After retracting his "Buddha Eye", he began to constantly recite Amitabha Buddha, which seemed to be an uncontrollable instinct of the body.

It took Song Zongwu a long time to stop.

Li Tiangang nodded. Everyone had different fates, and he didn't intend to continue asking Song Zongwu.

"However, it shouldn't be Li Yaoyang."

"It is indeed Li Yaoyang..."

Ren Qing interrupted Li Tiangang and narrated the matter of Li Yaoyang.

The Yin Messenger Realm cultivators fell silent, digesting the sudden influx of information.

Ren Qing's heart was full of absurdity. Could it be that Li Yaoyang was the only living person in the Pure Void Temple, and there was no mastermind at all?

Perhaps the current situation in the Pure Void Temple was due to the defects of the corpse itself?

Ren Qing was confused, but at least he eliminated some of the prison guards' concerns, so he could start the plan in the Pure Void Temple as soon as possible.

After the tasks were assigned, Sun landed towards the head of the corpse.

As soon as Ren Qing stepped into the Pure Void Temple, he felt the stench intensify, making him dizzy and almost bringing tears to his eyes.

He looked around and noticed that the corpse was rotting faster than he had imagined.

There were traces of fighting everywhere, which should be the Taoist officials fighting the Marsh People. There must have been a fierce battle between the two.

As for whether they were both injured, it was difficult to guess from the clues.

"I'll go first."

Song Zongwu was responsible for exploring the corpse. After smashing a wound, he directly took five prison guards to the blood vessel cave.

Although Ren Qing wouldn't follow, the divided soul was responsible for guiding Song Zongwu's direction.

The remaining prison guards were responsible for cleaning up the ruins of the Pure Void Temple, using techniques to dispel the stench, and tidying up a few temporary residences.

Li Tiangang asked Bai Gu Niang to stay at the Taoist temple to guard, and Sun was responsible for patrolling the air. If anything was discovered, they would also contact him with Nether Crows.

He said in a deep voice, "Ren Qing, let's go take a look at that Heavenly Dao Worm."

Ren Qing quickly agreed.

However, if he wanted to transfer the Heavenly Dao Worm to the Avici Hell, it was actually up to Li Tiangang. There wasn't much he could do.

He intentionally touched the ground, and a surge of information poured in.

【Drunken Flesh Taoist】

【Age: Three Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy-Five】

【Lifespan: Depleted】

【Technique: Wine God Technique (Drinking Wine to Become Immortal), Food Immortal Technique (Remnant)】

As expected, it was indeed the Drunken Flesh Taoist, and he was indeed dead.

The two passed through the forest-like hair and soon arrived at the back mountain.

The monster with a human head and insect body was squeezed into the narrow wound and could not move. Its body was also covered with a large amount of spreading rot.

The situation of the Heavenly Dao Worm was obviously not optimistic. The Supreme Heavenly Demon was constantly wreaking havoc, and it was tightly restricted in the back mountain.

Its twisted face was full of resentment. After discovering that living people were approaching, it stretched out its narrow neck and opened its mouth to the limit.

"Hiss... Ha..."

But as long as the Heavenly Dao Worm left the back of its head, it would become extremely weak.

Ren Qing frowned. He knew that the Heavenly Dao Worm's intelligence was no weaker than that of humans, but why did this one in front of him feel like a wild beast?

Li Tiangang narrowed his eyes and seemed to make up his mind, "Ren Qing, go help find the place in the corpse that absorbs liquor. I will take it to the Avici Hell."

Ren Qing's heart skipped a beat and said, "The Great Dream Master doesn't even dare to guarantee it. Senior Li Tiangang, don't try to be brave."

Even if the Heavenly Dao Worm was extremely weak, it was not something that a mere Yin Messenger Realm cultivator could intervene in, and it might even backfire.

Li Tiangang said, "Before the Heavenly Dao Worm leaves the body, the corpse must absorb enough liquor, otherwise it will easily lead to collapse."

Ren Qing frowned tightly and suddenly had an idea.

He couldn't help but suggest, "If we use a strange fetus artifact made from Ksitigarbha's ribs, it might have miraculous effects."

Li Tiangang thought about it carefully, and the method was indeed feasible. Even if it failed, it would only be a waste of some strange objects of the Gluttony Technique.

After the two discussed it, they quickly decided.

Li Tiangang protected Ren Qing by the side, and could also return to the Avici Hell to get materials at any time. A Yin Messenger Realm cultivator was willing to be a handyman.

Ren Qing thought about the type of strange fetus artifact, and divided some of his consciousness to control the divided soul, multitasking was not something ordinary people could do.

He considered that to cooperate with the Avici Hell, it would be most appropriate to refine the strange fetus artifact into a door shape, which could be directly used to cover the surrounding area of the Heavenly Dao Worm.

But the strange fetus artifact was at most at the level of a half-corpse. Facing the Heavenly Dao Worm in the Yang God Realm, even with Li Tiangang sitting in town, it was too reluctant.

Unless the Heavenly Dao Worm took the initiative to go to the Avici Hell...

Ren Qing's face lit up. After practicing the Imaginary Creation Technique, people's flesh and blood would become delicious, wouldn't that be the food of the Heavenly Dao Worm?

"Senior Li Tiangang, please tell Sha Shanzi of Yellow Sand City to go to the Taoists who have mastered the Qi Refining Technique to get blood..."

"The more the better."

There is one more chapter to wait, the Swamp chapter is coming to an end, and then the new map will be opened
