The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing's seclusion had little impact on Non-Action City.

After all, the steps for refining the Aberrant Womb Artifact were nearing completion, and the fusion of aberrant objects didn't require Ren Qing's intervention; even Little San'er could handle it.

Moreover, the beast tide had been completely wiped out, giving them a chance to breathe.

The gluttonous Dharma aberrant object of the Martial Artist realm was quickly erased of its consciousness, transforming into an Aberrant Womb resembling a dead object, its appearance much like a stubborn rock.

As soon as Little San'er placed the Aberrant Womb on the open space of Non-Action City, a crack appeared in the bluestone, swallowing the Aberrant Womb into the ground.

After Non-Action City became an Aberrant Womb Artifact of the Martial Artist realm, the whole city gradually turned grayish-white, and its hardness increased by at least thirty percent.

According to Li Tiangang's estimation, it would take at most half a month before they could continue to integrate the Corpse Refiner aberrant object of the Half-Corpse realm.

The reason for choosing the Corpse Refiner instead of a Sub-Stomach like the Sand Boat was mainly to consider the mobility of Non-Action City as a Dharma artifact.

The Ghost Envoy realm of the Corpse Refiner is called "Spirit of the Hillock", its appearance resembling a giant rock with four limbs, and its movement speed is not slow.

The Aberrant Womb Artifact will naturally inherit some of the aberrant object's abilities.

If nothing unexpected happens, once Non-Action City reaches the Ghost Envoy realm, it will be able to use this to escape the scope of Jing Province and retreat towards Xiangxiang.

To ensure that the artifact spirit contained within Non-Action City can grow vigorously and fuse with aberrant objects of higher realms as soon as possible, Li Tiangang prepared to take a risky approach.

Head-in-a-Jar had created a blood refining method that could stimulate the consciousness of the Aberrant Womb Artifact to grow with a large amount of blood, but it was later eliminated by Ren Qing's artifact spirit method because it was too extreme.

But now, in this extraordinary period, they can only use the blood refining method to nourish Non-Action City.

Of course, Li Tiangang would not use human blood, so he chose the slightly less effective beast blood, which he had collected a lot of during the beast siege.

The cultivators used water-attributed spells, causing continuous blood rain to shroud the city, somewhat reminiscent of the past Abyssal Hell.

Some cultivators drove Dharma artifacts, wandering around Non-Action City, pouring barrels of blood on the city's blind spots.

The blood was slowly absorbed by Non-Action City, and its aura became stronger.

But it also caused the stench of blood to be extremely pungent, and many cultivators with slightly lower realms felt inexplicably dizzy in the city.

If it weren't for Non-Action City's ability to vaguely suppress the alienation of body and soul, many cultivators would have been inevitably affected by the stench of blood and fallen into madness.

The beastmen and demon cultivators were obviously stimulated by their inherent bestiality in this environment, and they had to lock themselves in their houses to avoid going out.

The suppressed painful roars could be heard from inside the houses.

The Taoist disciples therefore changed their views on them and were not as hostile as they were at the beginning.

Both demon cultivators and beastmen had been eroded by demonic energy, and they tended to band together, being collectively referred to as "demons" by the other cultivators.

Song Zongwu sat cross-legged on the top of the city wall, feeling the calm atmosphere in the city, but an inexplicable sense of urgency arose in his heart.

Although he no longer used Buddhist spells, his intuition was affected by the Buddhist senses, making him extremely sensitive to danger.

The Rabbit-Toad cultivators had not let go of Non-Action City, but due to the Heavenly Demon, they chose to accumulate strength in secret before taking action.

Song Zongwu's six eyes looked into the distance, and there were multiple bursts of Heavenly Demon aura.

Obviously, the situation in the Remnant Moon Layer was somewhat out of control, at least beyond the original expectations of the Rabbit-Toad cultivators, who could not have imagined the proliferation of the Black Goat.

Most importantly, Song Zongwu did not notice the three aberrant entities that Ren Qing had arranged.

This shows that the power of the Heavenly Demon is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and it has already spread inadvertently, even enough to subvert the situation in Jing Province.

Just as Song Zongwu was pondering, distorted light and shadows flickered beside him.

Without turning his head, he knew it was Grand Dream, who had been in the quicksand city of the swamp. He must have sensed the danger of Non-Action City and simply came to Jing Province in person.

"Song Zongwu, how much longer will it take?"

"At most two months, but the Rabbit-Toad cultivators are likely to resort to desperate measures, and we must be prepared for a head-on confrontation."

Grand Dream said lightly, "Use the Forbidden Zone to seal off Non-Action City."

"That's right."

Song Zongwu instructed Li Yaoyang to go and place the aberrant objects, and marked the approximate locations on a simple map.

The aberrant objects used by the Forbidden Troop Hall are all Ghost Envoy realm, so the newly formed Forbidden Zone can easily devour demon kings.

However, being in Jing Province, which is full of demonic energy, the power of the Forbidden Zone will definitely be reduced.

Song Zongwu did not expect the Forbidden Zone to protect Non-Action City for long; it would be enough to delay for a certain period of time, and perhaps they could take the opportunity to leave Jing Province.

The two chatted intermittently, talking about all sorts of things.

They were just talking about the cultivation experience of the Yang God realm, and the next moment they switched to the endless forest in the south, or the aura of the Heavenly Demon.

Others couldn't hear the amount of information contained in their words at all.

At this moment, Song Zongwu's six eyes burst out with brilliance, and he looked at the white bone glazed roof above his head with an incredible expression.

There was actually a faint aura about to break through to the Yang God realm.

Song Zongwu's heart pounded wildly, and he couldn't help but glance at Grand Dream, wondering which cultivator was the source of the aura.

Grand Dream said calmly, "Neither human nor insect nor dragon nor shadow, it is really not easy to break through to the Distraction realm with the Heavenly Dao Dharma."

"Heavenly Dao Dharma? Who?!"

Song Zongwu didn't react, but then he realized that the white bone glazed roof was refined by Ren Qing, and he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He had noticed that the aura revealed by Ren Qing was not right, but no matter how he guessed, he didn't expect the other party to be related to the Yang God realm.

After all, Ren Qing had only recently broken through to the Yin Official realm, and his cultivation system was extremely diverse, and the fusion of aberrations was a huge project.

Could it be that he used the Heavenly Dao Dharma to draw inferences?

Then how did Ren Qing avoid the defects of the Heavenly Dao Dharma, when even the Non-Action Taoist Temple had been unable to coexist with the Heavenly Dao Worm for thousands of years?

Song Zongwu stared at the white bone glazed roof, his thoughts were surging, and his expression became a little worried.

He was just afraid that Ren Qing would choose to take a side path in order to achieve the Yang God realm as soon as possible, thus wasting such outstanding talent.

He couldn't offer much help, he just hoped that Ren Qing would break through smoothly.

Grand Dream still maintained the distorted light and shadow.

He suddenly said, "Song Zongwu, the Sand Boat on the Xiangxiang side is ready. Unless the crisis brought by the Blood Moon is resolved, we must migrate away."

"Can Abyssal Hell be taken away?"

"It's troublesome."

Song Zongwu felt relieved. Troublesome doesn't mean it can't be done. Abyssal Hell is the foundation of the Forbidden Troop Hall, so it is still very important.

According to the Forbidden Troop Hall's literature, the Ksitigarbha who constitutes Abyssal Hell is likely to be the cultivator who founded the Forbidden Troop Hall.

The Forbidden Troop Hall had mastered Abyssal Hell five or six hundred years ago, and the founder disappeared at about the same time, so it is indeed possible that they are the same person.

If that is really the case, the founder is probably still alive.

After all, only when a cultivator dies will the aberrant object turn into a Forbidden Zone. Ksitigarbha should be alive in some form, but without a body.

Grand Dream added, "Ksitigarbha's body is missing, but Abyssal Hell is still preserved, so he may have cultivated the Beast Pen Dharma."

"Another Heavenly Demon?"

"It seems that withdrawing is indeed more prudent. Xiangxiang is really not far from the Beast Pen."

Song Zongwu was slightly helpless.

He originally planned to go to find Linggan Temple based on vague memories after Jing Province was over, but now it seems that it will inevitably be postponed.

If the Forbidden Troop Hall migrates to the south, it will definitely encounter all kinds of dangers, and the road ahead is too unknown.

The two chatted about the endless forest, where the vegetation is constant and unchanging, and no matter how the seasons change, there will be no slightest withering or flourishing.

The Forbidden Troop Hall's exploration of the endless forest is only within a hundred miles, and it is very easy to get lost if you go deeper. The environment inside is too strange.

Almost every tree is the same, and it will also interfere with the sense of direction.

Just as they were chatting about Mu Yi and others' discoveries, Non-Action City shook slightly, and the insect chrysalis inside the white bone glazed roof swam.

The insect chrysalis became extremely excited, making the Youyuan contained in the air much richer, and the Taoist disciples sat cross-legged and operated the Underworld Heavenly Insect Dharma one after another.

"Is it really going to be promoted to the Distraction realm?"

It was not until Song Zongwu felt the aura of the Distraction realm becoming more and more intense that he realized that Ren Qing had unknowingly caught up.

The Youyuan stored in the white bone glazed roof was drained at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Worm gradually revealed its original form, coiled in the white bone glazed roof like a real dragon, causing everyone to look sideways.

Ren Qing's attention was completely focused on the Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Worm, and he operated the Underworld Art to help it absorb the massive Youyuan.

If his Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Worm was placed in the Non-Action Taoist Temple back then, it would completely belong to the kind of adult insect that was forcibly urged by resources.

The difficulty of breaking through is actually much greater.

Ren Qing tried his best to restrain the aura of the Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Worm. If it caused damage to the white bone glazed roof, there would be loopholes in the defense of Non-Action City.

The Distraction realm of the Heavenly Dao Dharma actually refers to the Heavenly Dao Worm dividing its own soul and integrating it into the host's Niwan Palace to parasitize.

Ren Qing's Heavenly Dao Dharma is slightly different. First of all, the soul of the Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Worm has long been erased by the information stream, leaving only a faint consciousness.

In the end, the consciousness differentiated into four strands, drilling into each head.

After the Underworld Art was promoted to the Distraction realm's "Netherworld Immortal", the aura emitted by the ghost shadow had a trace of Netherworld ghost energy from the underworld.

And the Netherworld ghost energy has the characteristic of corroding all things, which complements the ghost shadow.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Worm can change hosts to parasitize.

Ren Qing's heart moved slightly, and the Heavenly Dao Worm, as part of the ghost shadow, can theoretically be regarded as an extension of his own body...

He put the Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Worm into the Eternal Dungeon, found a wild wolf and used the Storyteller's ability, and the Heavenly Dao Worm disappeared without a trace.

The Heavenly Dao Worm is inherently good at parasitism, and it is far more compatible with the Storyteller than Ren Qing.

The wild wolf shook its head and ran towards the mountains and forests, unaware that there was a giant maggot of hundreds of meters in its body.

It had just run dozens of meters when its flesh and blood began to alienate, gradually covered with black dragon scales, its head cracked, and horns grew out of the wound.

At the same time, its lifespan was greatly reduced, and the wild wolf soon fell to the ground.

The Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Worm broke out of its body.

Ren Qing looked happy and wanted to continue to try the Storyteller's ability when he suddenly heard a familiar horn sound in the city.

The beast tide struck again.

The Blood Moon was in the sky, and some Forbidden Zones were pulled into the Lower Crescent Moon Layer.

Ren Qing looked at the information stream and seized the time to continue his seclusion.
