The Secret Way of Immortality

The Blood Moon's method of breaking through the restricted area was unexpected, but Song Zongwu hadn't placed too much hope on it to begin with, so his response was relatively timely.

Ren Qing closed his eyes to sense the ghost shadow hidden beside the white bone throne, but he didn't find any trace of Xuan Gongyue nearby.

The beast tide was obviously unusual, its scale extraordinary.

The demonic beasts stretched as far as the eye could see across the mountains and plains, and the number of great demons among them was extremely exaggerated, with at least dozens mixed in.

If it had been before the completion of Wuwei City, a forced defense would only have resulted in massive casualties.

Now it was possible to try to resist, after all, there were still two Yang God realm cultivators sitting in command, and once Wuwei City reached the Ghost Envoy realm, it could withdraw on its own.

The aura of术法 being cast was continuous, and patches of demonic beasts were harvested.

However, the demonic beasts at the front were all杂妖, mainly to消耗 the stamina of the defending cultivators, preparing for the小妖 behind.

Ren Qing even had a premonition that even if the Rabbit Toad cultivator didn't come in person, there would inevitably be妖类 under his command participating.

妖类 possessed intelligence, so they were not as easy to deal with as妖兽.

Ren Qing seized the time while the situation was still under control to complete his increase in strength, as he likely wouldn't have a chance to be idle next.

The information stream surged.

【Ren Qing】

【Lifespan: 1832 years】

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The lifespan extension from the Netherworld Art's advancement to the Dividing Spirit stage was no lower than expected, about 1200 years or so.

The Human Skin Book, Armored Art, and Dragon Snake Spine needed 1500 years to advance to the Yang God realm, more than enough to reach the "All Yang Immortal".

But unfortunately, the lifespan extension bonus from the Heavenly Dao Art ended there. After all, the second stage of the Yang God realm, "Ascension Ladder," required the fusion of strange objects, at which point the Netherworld Art would exist in name only.

Ren Qing's Netherworld Art was, after all, a secondary术法. It was almost impossible to use it to reach the Earth Immortal realm. He could only take the path of the Jailer Art.

Bang…

A demonic beast crashed into the city wall.

Seeing this, Ren Qing removed the distracting thoughts from his mind and began to consume his lifespan according to the original plan.

The process of advancing to the All Yang Immortal would definitely not be short, so he would consume the extra three hundred years of lifespan first, lest it be too late when the time came.

Ren Qing currently had many術法 that had not reached the Yin Messenger realm, but he urgently needed to enhance his survival ability, so the Storyteller was the first choice.

【Do you want to choose the branch Ancient Storyteller, which will consume 200 years of lifespan?】

The words "Ancient Storyteller" actually also meant storyteller, but it was broader, usually referring to the old先生 in the school.

Ren Qing secretly confirmed.

The movement when the Storyteller advanced was unremarkable, just like the ability of this术法, hidden in the mundane world, no one can know me.

The Ancient Storyteller did not change much compared to the Storyteller. Apart from the strengthening of the strange change ability, there were no major differences in ability.

Only one thing.

When Ren Qing parasitized someone, he would no longer consume his own lifespan. Instead, the host had to provide twice the lifespan.

Cultivators could use this to live continuously, experiencing countless lives.

"Storyteller, Storyteller… using living beings as books, this术法 is truly terrifying, and the person who created the术法 is even more terrifying."

Ren Qing's expression was complicated.

In a sense, the Ancient Storyteller was already a method of longevity.

It's just that after he parasitized, the host's lifespan should not be recognized by the information stream, otherwise he could rely on the Storyteller to become an immortal.

Ren Qing continued to consume lifespan to advance, and then looked at the Dragon Snake Spine.

【Do you want to choose the branch Horned Dragon Sheds into Coiled Dragon, which will consume 500 years of lifespan?】

According to legend, the Horned Dragon cultivated for an unknown number of years before it had the slightest chance of transforming into a Coiled Dragon.

Its claws changed from three to five, its scales were as warm and jade-like, emitting auspicious dragon energy, and it had a bright pearl under its jaw, protecting its seven inches.

Ren Qing threw the Dragon Spine into the Eternal Shackles in advance. After the information stream consumed five hundred years, the Dragon Spine needed to undergo the pain of rebirth.

The Dragon Spine was forcibly bound by the black rope, so as not to cause damage to the world in the stomach.

The information stream compressed the process of the Horned Dragon shedding into a Coiled Dragon to a few minutes, and the shed scales were like peeling off the dragon skin.

The Dragon Spine was covered in blood, its bones made crisp sounds one after another, its body gradually lengthened, and the dragon pearl under its jaw formed.

However, possibly due to the influence of other術法, the dragon pearl was like an amber, and you could vaguely see an embryo of a young dragon inside.

Song Zongwu and the two stood on top of the city wall, and they looked into the city at the same time, looking at Ren Qing's courtyard with surprised and uncertain eyes.

Why was there another aura of advancement to the Yang God realm emanating?

Even if that Heavenly Dao Art failed to advance, it was impossible to break through again in a short time, and it would take at least decades to recuperate.

Ren Qing found that after the Dragon Spine reached the Yang God realm, his control over thunder and the five elements was further improved, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

【Do you want to choose the branch Primal Fetal Membrane, which will consume 500 years of lifespan?】

The advancement of the Human Skin Book needed to involve the main body. To prevent accidents, Ren Qing simply used the Ice Crystal Art's Jailer Possession.

He was in a state of absolute calm before he began the advancement of the Primal Fetal Membrane.

Ren Qing's consciousness instantly fell into a hallucination, and endless gray and white appeared in front of him, as if he was trapped in a fetal egg.

He immediately understood in his heart.

There is a saying that the world was in a gray egg at the beginning, and finally Pangu held a giant axe to split the gray egg, thus giving birth to the world.

The "Primal Fetal Membrane" of the Yang God realm certainly cannot involve the creation of the world, but its ability is indeed inclusive of thousands, and it seems infinitely vast.

The Primal Fetal Membrane has a very strong adaptability to any異種 aura, which makes the enhanced skin toughness secondary.

This adaptability will continue to accumulate over time. If Ren Qing stays in an environment full of Heavenly Demon aura, his skin will gradually develop resistance to the erosion of the Heavenly Demon aura.

For Ren Qing, he has stored a lot of various 異種 auras.

He can completely use the Dream Seed to release the Heavenly Demon aura and let the Primal Fetal Membrane adapt, without having to deliberately contact the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

The Buddha aura and demon aura are the same.

However, the development of the Primal Fetal Membrane's ability must be gradual. The improvement of strength is relatively limited for the time being, so I have to wait until the end of Jingzhou.

Ren Qing waited for a while. After all, the natal magic weapon related to the Armored Art had been integrated with the Dragon Spine, so he had to wait for its transformation to be completed.

When the Dragon Spine's scales grew back and the dragon pearl became restrained, and the three claws finally turned into five claws, it was considered to have reached the Yang God realm.

The Dragon Spine lay weakly, and just as it was about to get up to show off its dragon power as a Coiled Dragon, it suddenly found that the black rope was still binding it.

It had an ominous premonition in its heart…

【Do you want to choose the branch Spiritual Marrow Bone Immortal, which will consume 500 years of lifespan?】

Ren Qing only had a little over a hundred years of lifespan left, which also meant that the main and secondary術法 of the Shadowless Ghost had reached the Yang God realm, and he was about to set foot on the All Yang Immortal.

最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发！

The Dragon Spine was instantly numb. Just after the transformation of the Dragon Snake Spine ended, the transformation of the Armored Art began again, and the degree of pain was the same.

Its body became more and more hideous under the effect of the Spiritual Marrow Bone Immortal.

Sharp bone spurs grew out of its back, its original ink-like dragon horns turned into bone-like, and its dragon head was also covered with bone pieces, as if it was wearing a bone helmet.

The ability of the Spiritual Marrow Bone Immortal is to turn the bone marrow into a magic weapon, which can be summoned to form bone armor or bone swords, which is very flexible.

However, because the natal magic weapon was integrated into the Dragon Spine, Ren Qing's whole body bones were comparable to magic weapons, which led to the Spiritual Marrow Bone Immortal being manifested by accumulating bone marrow to nourish the bones.

It can be completely called an "immortal bone", and he can even survive briefly without flesh and blood.

Taking advantage of the gap in the advancement of the Armored Art, Ren Qing summoned his own information stream.

Ren Qing could see that after the術法 related to the Shadowless Ghost had reached the Yang God realm, the information stream had already classified all kinds of information together.

As long as he advances to the "Unborn Immortal", the strange objects will merge with each other, and Ren Qing doesn't know what kind of unique strange object will be born.

When it comes to the "Ascension Ladder", the five術法 will completely disappear, and the "Ascension Art" will be conceived.

Ren Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, after all, he was one step closer to longevity, and the means of protecting the Tao were becoming more and more abundant.

The Dragon Spine was completely exhausted. After the Armored Art advanced to the Yang God realm, it simply lay motionless in the mountains in the Eternal Shackles.

Ren Qing suddenly covered his chest, only feeling that five more hearts were beating in his body at the same time, and a subtle connection was formed between the strange objects.

He quickly concentrated his attention, so as to understand the way to fuse the strange objects.

Although Ren Qing's improvement in cultivation all relied on the information stream, he didn't know whether the plug-in would be effective for the Heavenly Strange realm, or even the Earth Immortal.

The courtyard returned to calm, and Song Zongwu and the two retracted their gazes.

In their opinion, the aura emanating from Ren Qing had finally become restrained again, and he should have successfully broken through the bottleneck of the Yang God realm.

Song Zongwu's expression was complicated, with a kind of illusion that the Yang God realm was as easy as picking something out of a bag, after all, Ren Qing's cultivation process was too smooth.

He glanced at the Great Dream True Man, the light and shadow that made up the latter's body were slightly distorted, indicating that his heart was not calm either.

But no matter what, at least in the current situation, it was a good thing to have one more Yang God realm cultivator, which could increase the chances of winning.

Bang bang bang.

Heavy footsteps sounded from outside the city.

The sound of elephant roars was deafening, and a strong demonic aura mixed with the smell of corpses came to the face.

Thick dark clouds covered thousands of miles. As the cold wind hung over, sporadic raindrops fell quietly, and soon developed into a torrential rain.

Not long ago, the ground was still hot from being浇 with blood, but now the temperature began to drop sharply.

A pale red mist spread out, and you could vaguely see a huge figure walking in the distance, with two tens of meters long tusks like spikes.

Han Li stood blankly on the city wall. Even if the rain soaked his clothes, he didn't move, and the fear in his heart was growing wildly.

"Corpse Elephant?"

Roar!!!

The air wave rolled up, and a vacuum zone appeared in the mist, also revealing the dark shadow, which was a giant elephant covered in chains.

Like a death row prisoner being taken to the execution ground.
