The Secret Way of Immortality

Footsteps echoed from the depths of the corpse mirror, accompanied by heavy gasping.

The figure moved in an extremely awkward manner, as if its joints were forcibly locked, and it emanated a pungent stench of decay.

Countless carrion insects swarmed eagerly, impatiently rushing into the corpse mirror.

However, before the carrion insects could get close, they began to crackle and pop, then fell to the ground in swathes, leaving only scorched ashes.

As the figure emerged from the corpse mirror, it was accompanied by an extremely dense miasma of death, so potent that even bones could not withstand its corrosive power.

Ren Qing was the first to notice the anomaly at the corpse mirror.

He hadn't expected that after the doppelganger's death, the true form would emerge from the corpse mirror, rather than from other exits scattered throughout the Dead Man's Forbidden Zone.

This suggested that, at least in the last two hundred years, no cultivator had escaped the world within the mirror, or rather, no doppelganger had died unexpectedly?

Ren Qing frowned, the doppelganger's condition seemed somewhat off.

Although the Mycelial Soul could still control the doppelganger's actions, its body had suddenly developed sentience and was absorbing the surrounding Yin energy.

Was it practicing corpse refining techniques?

Just as Ren Qing was about to extract the Mycelial Soul from the doppelganger's body, he noticed that many forces had been alarmed by the anomaly at the corpse mirror.

Even though the past two hundred years had been uneventful, they remained constantly vigilant about the corpse mirror.

A dozen Yang Divinity realm cultivators, their faces filled with fear, hovered in the air, piloting magical artifacts, their gazes fixed on the distant entrance and exit of the corpse mirror.

When the doppelganger came outside the corpse mirror, the various forces couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The doppelganger, apart from the subtle pseudo-dragon features, had originally been almost indistinguishable, but now it resembled a mass of accumulated flesh.

Its body length had grown to just over two meters, its entire body covered in signs of decay, and pus seeped from its pores with every step it took.

But no matter how strange it was, the Yang Divinity realm cultivators didn't care about a Purple Zombie at all, after all, zombies came to the corpse mirror every so often.

They discussed among themselves, most of the topics involving the Giant Corpse Buddha.

Ren Qing wasn't in a hurry to retrieve the Mycelial Soul, and continued to maintain the Dragon's Roar from the Box.

On the one hand, he really wanted to take this opportunity to understand the changes in the doppelganger, so as to figure out what *** had arranged in the world within the mirror.

On the other hand, Ren Qing intended to give True Man Taihan a chance to abandon darkness and turn to the light.

He glanced obscurely in the direction of the town, and with a thought, the Dream Flower silently went towards True Man Taihan.

Ren Qing then signaled the Ghost Shadow hidden beside the corpse mirror to go and check on the doppelganger's condition.

The various forces were on high alert, but were wary of the distant Giant Corpse Buddha, they even suspected that the zombie was Ren Qing's scheme.

Seclusionist Tuoke softly inquired: "Taihan, is this the work of that Corpse Herder?"

The Yang Divinity realm cultivators didn't know Ren Qing's name, so they called him "Corpse Herder", which shows their deep fear of him.

"It shouldn't be."

True Man Taihan responded with a complex expression, if it really was a Land Immortal of Blessed Virtue, how could he use such ordinary means.

"Indeed, using a Purple Zombie to test us, it's truly laughable..."

Before Seclusionist Tuoke could finish speaking, he saw the doppelganger let out several angry roars in succession, and then stood in place in an awkward posture.

The doppelganger's flesh began to swell uncontrollably, and the miasma of death became even more intense.

Ghost Shadow took the opportunity to approach the doppelganger, and information flowed as it came into contact with the latter.

【Purple Zombie】

【Age: Thirteen Days】

【Lifespan: None】

【Art: Corpse Bone Method (Purple Zombie)】

【Created by ***, cultivation requires soaking the corpse in a special corpse water for three days, until the Yin energy erodes the entire skeleton, if the skeleton is still intact, then it can be cultivated.】

Ren Qing raised his eyebrows, the doppelganger had indeed turned into a zombie as expected, but why was it the Corpse Bone Method, rather than the Corpse Refining Method, could it be that the Corpse Bone Method was the Corpse Refining Method after *** perfected it?

He simply let Ghost Shadow drill into the doppelganger's body to look for clues from the bones.

Ren Qing soon noticed that the doppelganger's bones were actually purplish-red, containing a faint Yin energy, the Corpse Bone Method was completely different in essence from the Corpse Refining Method.

How should I put it, the two arts were like they originally belonged to one art...

Ren Qing didn't understand, it seemed that *** was consciously dividing the Scripture of the Dead, which just confirmed the fact that the Scripture of the Dead was an Immortal Ascension Method.

He wanted to figure out the contents of the Corpse Bone Method, so he drove the Mycelial Soul to help the doppelganger absorb Yin energy, making the latter transform even faster.

After taking a few steps, the doppelganger's Purple Zombie body had already advanced to a White Zombie, and the swollen flesh was constantly spurting pus, sizzling.

And sharp bone spurs protruded from the joints, completely different from ordinary White Zombies.

The Yang Divinity realm cultivators also noticed the strangeness of the doppelganger, but they still didn't attack each other, maintaining a tacit understanding.

They had been scheming against each other for hundreds of years, any flaw would attract the prying eyes of others, which of the cultivators who have survived to this day are not shrewd people.

"Roar!!!"

The doppelganger roared angrily, then rushed towards the town.

In just a few minutes, the White Zombie had begun to transform into a Green Zombie, and the miasma of death it emitted caused the death and injury of insects within a thousand meters.

Bone spurs grew wildly from its ribs and spine, forming a heavy armor that wrapped its body, showing no resemblance to a zombie.

The Yang Divinity realm cultivators looked at Seclusionist Tuoke with schadenfreude, the zombie's target was the latter's territory.

At this time, Old Monk Zongqing put his hands together, and couldn't help but mutter: "Laughing Lion Arhat is above, the Immortal Gate is really ominous."

"If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Old Monk Zongqing was not as timid as the other forces, and the Lion Head monks under his command surrounded the zombie from all directions.

The zombie rampaged, several white bone hills turned into rubble, and as the gale swept through, the bone powder dyed the surroundings pale white.

It instinctively wanted to devour the flesh and blood of living beings, and seeing the Lion Head monks coming towards it, it strode towards them to meet them.

Dozens of Lion Head monks sat cross-legged, and Buddhist energy seeped from their pores, forming a bronze-colored mist that occupied the air.

Although their intelligence was not obvious, their use of Buddhist energy was extremely skillful.

The Buddhist energy then condensed into substance, turning into golden lions of about ten meters that fought with the zombie, each move aimed at the latter's neck.

Even if they were beaten by the zombie until their tendons were broken and their bones were fractured, the Lion Head monks' only goal was its head.

The various forces then reacted.

Zongqing clearly wanted to obtain the zombie's soul, so as to figure out the situation inside the Immortal Gate, maybe it really involved becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao.

"What a bald donkey."

A half-human, half-rat Yang Divinity realm cultivator couldn't help but sneer, and then ordered his few remaining cultivators to block the zombie.

The ground squirmed, and half-meter-high field mice quickly dug tunnels.

The other Yang Divinity realm cultivators no longer held back, and ordered their subordinates to go to the zombie, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to seize the zombie's soul.

They looked at the Giant Corpse Buddha from time to time.

If it weren't for Ren Qing's presence, they would probably have been unable to restrain themselves and personally stepped forward to compete for the sudden opportunity.

Only True Man Taihan was slightly hesitant, although he didn't skimp on his subordinates, the number of insect men he sent was far less than Zongqing's.

True Man Taihan was not without interest in the Immortal Gate, but he wanted to leave the Dead Man's Land even more.

He knew that the insect nest would not come to support him in a hundred years, and under the influence of the Dead Man's Land, his body had been eroded by Yin energy.

If he couldn't rely on the Land Immortal of Blessed Virtue to leave the Dead Man's Land, then there would be no chance.

True Man Taihan thought that he would stay in the Dead Man's Land forever, until his flesh withered and his intelligence eventually degenerated into an insect beast.

He felt more and more fear in his heart, and couldn't help but tremble all over.

Suddenly, Ren Qing's whisper rang in True Man Taihan's ear, and his expression suddenly became uncertain, obviously worried.

While he was hesitating, the battle situation did not present a one-sided trend as the Yang Divinity realm cultivators had predicted, but instead the doppelganger occupied an absolute advantage.

The zombie's rotten flesh gradually healed, and began to appear dark green, obviously unknowingly reaching the Green Zombie stage.

The bones under the arms and ribs quickly extended, unexpectedly forming a pair of bone wings.

Ren Qing had a hint of strangeness in his eyes, under the influence of Ghost Shadow and Mycelial Soul, the Corpse Bone Method seemed to be completely presented in front of him.

He did not hesitate at all, and continued to control the Mycelial Soul to help the zombie absorb Yin energy.

However, the doppelganger was, after all, just a flesh and blood magic weapon transformed by the Dragon's Roar from the Box, and under the stimulation of Yin energy, it had already shown signs of collapse.

After hesitating for a moment, True Man Taihan flew towards the doppelganger with his sword.

The other Yang Divinity realm cultivators followed, not wanting True Man Taihan to seize the opportunity.

But before they could get close, they saw the doppelganger spit out a dark green miasma of death, and its teeth turned into ancient needles that pierced True Man Taihan's body.

True Man Taihan let out a cry of pain, and the corpse poison spread to his flesh and bones.

The doppelganger's right arm disintegrated, and the bones formed chains that pulled True Man Taihan into the miasma of death, and the screams stopped abruptly.

The Yang Divinity realm cultivators were stunned for a few breaths, and realized that True Man Taihan was missing, and Seclusionist Tuoke wanted to rescue him but it was too late.

The rat-like cultivator screamed and said: "Lure it to the Corpse Herder..."

Before he could finish speaking, a huge shadow covered his head again.

The Giant Corpse Buddha raised its right foot, its skin showing the roughness of elephant skin, and slammed heavily towards the rat-like cultivator like a siege hammer.

Bang!!!

The rat-like cultivator and the doppelganger turned into minced meat together.

Flesh and bone slag splattered, and each Yang Divinity realm cultivator's face was stained with some, their eyes filled with the luck of surviving a disaster.

Faced with the power of the Giant Corpse Buddha, how dare they act recklessly again.

Even the territory vacated by True Man Taihan, no one dared to go and take over, after all, next door was the plague god, the Giant Corpse Buddha.

Ren Qing stopped his movements, and Ghost Shadow took the Mycelial Soul and True Man Taihan into the Giant Corpse Buddha.

He was not worried about True Man Taihan's rebellion at all, the Dream Flower could perceive his state of mind, and could also exert influence imperceptibly.

After True Man Taihan joined the Prison Warden Hall, he would inevitably come into contact with the Prison Warden Method, and it would definitely be unrealistic to want to leave again.

Without the resources provided by the Prison Warden Hall, it would be difficult to improve in cultivating techniques at all, and it would be accompanied by various troubles that would lead to death and dissipation.

Ren Qing threw True Man Taihan to Li Tiangang to handle, and then went to retreat.

There were not many images in the Mycelial Soul's memory, but Ren Qing only took a glance, and the amount of information made his scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine.

The Dead Man's Forbidden Zone was more complicated than imagined, and probably involved multiple Land Immortal existences.

And ***, was indeed in the world within the mirror.
