The Secret Way of Immortality
#408 - The "Door" in the Dead Zone
The giant corpse Buddha stood in the plain of rotten blood, its spine occasionally emitting the sound of bones colliding, accompanied by faint bursts of flames.
As a corpse, its intelligence was almost non-existent, which resulted in a slightly slower adaptation to the distorted organs.
Just as the giant corpse Buddha stood motionless, a distant hill slightly bulged.
Immediately afterward, an inconspicuous crack appeared on the surface, and a pale, bloated arm stretched out from it, followed by a sturdy man crawling out.
The man was dressed in clothes made of moss, and his appearance had an unnatural swelling, like a corpse that had been soaked in water for days.
At the location of his chest and abdomen was a bloody and mangled wound.
No sooner had the man come into contact with the outside's rotten blood than countless tiny worms crawled all over his skin, immediately emitting a sizzling sound.
But what was strange was that even though the worms were gnawing at his flesh, his expression was extremely relieved.
Subsequently, dozens of humans with similar appearances crawled out from underground, all with varying degrees of injuries, and smeared their bodies with rotten blood.
After the worms had gnawed their skin into a pitted mess, what was revealed was not flesh and blood, but new skin.
The man tore off the skin and then led the others towards the giant corpse Buddha.
Their speed was very fast, and it was impossible to tell that they had been seriously injured, except that their skin was being eaten away layer by layer by the worms.
By the time the man reached the foot of the giant corpse Buddha, his body had shrunk by a whole size.
Fortunately, due to the burning heart technique, there was no rotten blood within hundreds of meters nearby, and not a single worm could be seen.
To the giant corpse Buddha, mortals were nothing more than ants, no different from the worms contained in the rotten blood, so it didn't pay any attention to them.
"Sen Sheng, do we really have to..."
The man named Sen Sheng glanced at his companion who spoke, his expression extremely complicated, mixed with desire and fear.
"Is there a way out?"
Sen Sheng muttered blankly to himself, "Either find the gate to the ancestral land, or die..."
Before he could finish speaking, he took out a sharp small knife from his waist and forcefully stabbed it into his brow, immediately splattering blood everywhere.
The others couldn't bear to look directly at it, and some even couldn't help but tremble.
Sen Sheng ran the small knife across his head, and then grabbed the broken end of his skin with both hands and tore it, forcibly shedding a dozen or so bloody skins.
After shedding his skin, his originally burly body became only a little over a meter tall, and was skin and bones, appearing exceptionally thin and dry.
"Are you just watching?"
Sen Sheng's breath was weak, but he held the small knife with a frightening ferocity.
Immediately, someone took the small knife and used the same method to skin themselves, a large amount of human skin piled up on the ground, and a fishy stench filled the air.
Under Sen Sheng's coercion, everyone completed the skinning.
"Let's go, we don't have much time left."
Sen Sheng pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, and then used the giant corpse Buddha's body hair as support, struggling to climb upwards.
The others immediately followed closely, forming a long line like a column of ants.
Their target seemed to be the giant corpse Buddha's navel, obviously planning to drill into its body, but soon there were casualties.
Because Ren Qing was refining the spine, the giant corpse Buddha would occasionally shake.
Causing several people to lose their grip and fall.
But even if they didn't die after falling to the ground, Sen Sheng still had no intention of rescuing them, just staring at the navel and constantly climbing.
By the time they finally reached the giant corpse Buddha's navel, a full third of the dozens of people had died, and the rest were also nearing exhaustion.
The giant corpse Buddha's navel was not big, but fortunately Sen Sheng and others had peeled off their human skin in advance, otherwise it would have been impossible to drill into it.
Sen Sheng didn't even take a break, after all, they hadn't reached the inside yet.
They followed the navel to the end, although there was a closed wall of flesh in front of them, but as long as they dug through it, they could reach the safer intestines.
Sen Sheng and others took out tools and frantically dug at the wall of flesh.
Don't look down on their ordinary strength, but the raw materials for making the tools were not simple, and they easily left pits in the flesh.
At the same time, they sprinkled a black-brown powder to prevent the wound from healing.
The excavation lasted for more than ten days.
During this period, several more people died due to overwork, and the rest of the people's faces were filled with lingering fear, fearing that they would follow in their footsteps.
Bang...
The numbness in Sen Sheng's eyes solidified, and the sound from the tool told him that the wall of flesh had finally been dug through.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!!"
They waved their tools with invigorated spirits, and the holes in the wall of flesh became larger and larger.
However, just enough for a person to pass through, Sen Sheng couldn't wait to climb in.
After a narrow passage, he came to the giant corpse Buddha's intestines and stomach, and smelled a faint plant fragrance in his nose.
Sen Sheng looked up into the intestines, his heart full of disbelief.
The location where he was now was surrounded by rotten and blackened flesh, but not far away, a large number of crops were planted.
And the flesh was covered with light golden patterns, revealing a fresh vitality.
Sen Sheng could also see all kinds of cultivators cultivating the farmland, each with a face like a demon, completely unlike mortals.
"Who is it?!"
Jiang Feng noticed the extremely embarrassed Sen Sheng and immediately spoke to remind him.
More than a dozen demons transformed into beast forms, and in the blink of an eye, they came to Sen Sheng and others, and then controlled them.
Jiang Feng's brows were tightly furrowed.
Just looking at his appearance, Sen Sheng was just an ordinary refugee, but this was inside the giant corpse Buddha, how could there be room for mortals to survive.
Jiang Feng looked at the pit that was beginning to heal, these people should have come from the outside.
"Take them to Senior Li Tiangang..."
"Wait, feed them."
The cultivator took water and food, and Sen Sheng and others swallowed it greedily, while saying things that they couldn't understand.
Li Tiangang immediately rushed to the intestines and stomach after hearing the news, but he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, in order to prevent anyone from coming to the intestines through the navel, he asked Xiao San'er to organize the refiners to speed up the weaponization of the intestines.
As long as the area connecting the navel was refined, so that the wall of flesh formed a whole, even the Yang God Realm would be difficult to break.
In the end, Sen Sheng was taken to the spine area by Li Tiangang.
The latest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!!
Ren Qing had just finished the fifth strange fusion, and since they couldn't communicate, he threw Sen Sheng into the stomach world and used magic to obtain his memory.
He didn't care at first, but then he noticed the special nature of Sen Sheng's physique.
"How interesting..."
【Sen Sheng】
【Age: Thirty-eight】
【Lifespan: Three hundred and seventy-six years】
Ren Qing learned from Sen Sheng's memory that they called themselves "Cocoon People".
For every year a Cocoon Person grows, they will have an extra layer of thick human skin. When they encounter injuries, the human skin is equivalent to a life.
Their shedding of skin can heal injuries. If they can live to the three hundred years of the Celestial Limit, they will turn into a giant insect cocoon.
It is said that the body of the Cocoon Person in the insect cocoon, if it is not damaged for thousands of years, can emerge from the cocoon and become an immortal.
However, Ren Qing checked Sen Sheng's body and soul and did not find any clues that could lead to emerging from the cocoon and becoming an immortal. It should just be the fantasy of the predecessors.
He took Sen Sheng to the outside world. The latter's consciousness was a little unclear between reality and falsehood due to prolonged sleep, and he kept howling.
Ren Qing pointed his finger at Sen Sheng's brow, and the language of Xiangxiang was forcibly injected into his soul.
Sen Sheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and look at Ren Qing in fear. He only heard the latter slowly say.
"Sen Sheng, why did you go to the forbidden area for the dead?"
Sen Sheng didn't know why, but even though he heard a strange language, he knew its meaning, and could even speak it.
"Immortal... Immortal... I... don't understand... what is the forbidden area for the dead."
"Then let me put it another way, why are you going to the so-called ancestral land?"
Sen Sheng shook his head, suppressing the madness in his heart and replied: "From birth, the Cocoon People must go to... the ancestral land, to find a... door."
Ren Qing asked a few more questions, using Dream Flower to make Sen Sheng's soul no longer defensive, and then he understood the origin of the Cocoon People.
Cocoon People have a unique language, but no writing to record the language.
They live in underground caves in the plain of rotten blood, only knowing that they have to go to the forbidden area for the dead, but they don't know why.
It is definitely impossible for the Cocoon People to reach the forbidden area for the dead on their own.
Fortunately, every once in a while, a huge behemoth passes through the plain of rotten blood. Usually, the Cocoon People will drill into its body, trying to go to the ancestral land.
As for whether any Cocoon People have done it, because it is a road of no return, no one knows.
Ren Qing pondered the information revealed by Sen Sheng. The ancestral land should be the forbidden area for the dead. Could there really be a door in the center?
What is the meaning of the door?
The first thing he thought of was the Disaster Elimination Technique. After being promoted to the Yin Messenger Realm, "Strange Stomach Hides Door", he could indeed open a closed door.
Perhaps the forbidden area for the dead is related to the Disaster Elimination Technique?
Ren Qing had too many questions. He could only answer some of them when he set foot in the forbidden area for the dead, and of course, he might not be able to touch the truth.
"Sen Sheng, are you willing to cultivate with me?"
"Returning to the Immortal, I am willing, I am willing."
Sen Sheng kowtowed and agreed, and then Ren Qing instilled the contents of the Human Skin Book into him.
The other Cocoon People were also taught the Xiangxiang language in a simple and crude way.
It has to be said that after Ren Qing learned of the Cocoon People's physique, he realized that the Human Skin Book was very suitable for them, and could even be said to be custom-made.
Ren Qing was very interested in the Cocoon People. He could also use Dream Flower to detect whether the Cocoon People had any ulterior motives, but it was not easy to put them outside in a short time.
It just so happened that the good land in the stomach world needed manpower, so he handed it over to the jailers to handle.
In addition to the Cocoon People, the Heavenly Dao Insect of the insect nest was also sent to cultivate the fields. It was a waste to just suppress it underground.
Ren Qing continued the strange fusion.
The spine has been refined for the most part. The Forbidden Soldier Technique he chose was the Bone Armor from the Armored Art.
The Bone Armor can summon external bone armor, and the bones will be transformed into a material that is neither bone nor iron.
As long as the spine of the giant corpse Buddha is not injured, the iron bones can be generated continuously, although there will be the disadvantage of being bulky, but it can be compensated by other magic in the future.
The Yin Messenger Realm of the Bone Armor is called "Leakless Steel Body", which can actively transform flesh and blood into steel and integrate it with the bones.
The self-protection ability of the giant corpse Buddha will be greatly increased, gradually turning into a steel fortress.
Of course, Ren Qing's most important thing right now is the strange fusion, otherwise, once he passes the stable period, he will not have the current environment to cultivate.
