The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing entered the mine and buried himself in digging.

After the Human Skin Book advanced to the Half-Corpse Realm, he clearly felt that the impact of the Great Miao Saber colliding with the stone wall had weakened.

This allowed Ren Qing to dig recklessly. Even if his tiger's mouth split open, he could shift to another spot, making his efficiency even higher.

Unconsciously, he didn't come back to his senses until he was exhausted.

Huang Ziwan, from next door, wiped the sweat from his forehead, unable to stop himself from cursing a few times under his breath.

In his opinion, Ren Qing was indeed brought out by Song Zongwu. Clearly a stoker, he was working even harder than the Jailers.

Under normal circumstances, as the digging deepened, the speed should slow down.

But Ren Qing was the complete opposite. Just when Huang Ziwan thought the other party was finally slacking off, he actually became even faster.

Huang Ziwan sighed a long breath, suddenly feeling a little envious of Mu Yi, who was just a decoration in the camp.

Even if he didn't move all day, it would be better than doing hard labor non-stop.

Boom…

The cave collapsed slightly again.

He hurriedly removed his distracting thoughts and continued digging. Although Song Zongwu's requirement was ten days, he had a feeling they wouldn't last that long.

Ren Qing also noticed that small cracks had appeared in the stone wall. The scale of the mountain's earthquake was becoming more and more obvious, even making it difficult to stand still.

He ate some Beast Eyes to restore his strength and refocused his attention on the stone wall.

The saber light overflowed.

On the eighth day.

The Jailers were still continuing to excavate, but the Yamen Runners had already begun to withdraw one after another.

Now, large rocks would occasionally roll down from Camel Hump Mountain, and the temporary camp was gradually becoming unsafe.

They would evacuate to ten miles away and build a new camp on the spot.

By the time the Jailers finished excavating the mountain, the cracks in the cave were almost everywhere, and gravel powder fell like raindrops.

Ren Qing and the others fled from the cave in a sorry state. Looking back, the entire mountain was shaking.

Song Zongwu said in a deep voice, "Let's go, follow me to the adjacent mountain peak. Only by watching the forbidden area sink can we rest assured."

He exerted force from his legs and shot towards the northwest of Camel Hump Mountain like an arrow leaving a bow.

"I'll go first."

Li Yaoyang nodded to the crowd and transformed into a dense swarm of insects, following behind.

Tu Di burrowed into the ground without saying a word. As expected of a half-human, half-pangolin beast, his speed in the soil was extremely fast.

"Xu Shilin, you…"

"Old Huang, you can just eat my dust behind me."

Huang Ziwan wanted Xu Shilin to wait for him, but the latter took a hard puff of his dry tobacco pipe and exhaled, chasing after him, carried by the smoke.

Huang Ziwan turned to look at Ren Qing, only to see the other party squatting down, his speed not much slower than a running horse.

"Damn it."

He had no choice but to do his best, but he was really limited by his own spells. His webbed feet couldn't gain any leverage in open spaces.

By the time Huang Ziwan arrived, panting for breath, the others were already sitting on the boulder on the top of the mountain, resting.

Their eyes were fixed on the direction of the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area.

Because the earthquake was too loud, the spells surrounding the forbidden area had all failed. Now, the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area was exposed.

Unfortunately, the forbidden area was shrouded in dark clouds, and they could only vaguely see that the surrounding mountain soil was grayish-white, and all the vegetation was withered.

Boom boom boom…

Even though Ren Qing was not too close to Camel Hump Mountain, he still felt the vibration of the boulder.

"Even if a Ghost Envoy Realm forbidden area slumbers underground, it can still have an impact."

Song Zongwu's expression was solemn. When Jailers faced forbidden areas above the Ghost Envoy Realm, all they could do was seal them off based on the surrounding environment.

After all, the death of a Jailer could lead to an uncontrollable deterioration of the situation.

Xu Shilin took a puff of his dry tobacco pipe and said, "Just a mountain collapse, I'm afraid it's not safe enough, right?"

"Indeed, it's not safe enough."

Song Zongwu closed his eyes to rest, seemingly pondering the handling method.

Ren Qing couldn't help but frown, looking at the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area. A strange sense of familiarity arose in his mind, as if he had come into contact with it before.

Some fragmented memories surged into his mind, but he couldn't grasp any clues.

After three or four hours, the collapse of Camel Hump Mountain officially began.

A crack gradually spread across the mountainside, and a large number of rubble rolled down towards the forbidden area from the top. Camel Hump Mountain actually showed a slight tilt.

Song Zongwu breathed a sigh of relief. Such a situation at least showed that the trend was correct, and the excavation of more than half a month had not been in vain.

The Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area gradually collapsed because the bottom of the area was hollow.

Roar!!!!

Just at this moment.

A deafening roar came from within the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area, and a hundred-meter-long mud arm drilled out of the rubble.

The arm tried to bring the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area back to the light of day, constantly blocking the rubble.

From this, it could be seen that the forbidden area of the Ghost Envoy Realm was indeed extremely intelligent, and it was probably already aware of the Jailers' methods.

Seeing this, Song Zongwu said, "Li Yaoyang, speed up the process."

Li Yaoyang nodded. There was no other way but to make sacrifices.

With a wave of his hand, dense swarms of Gu worms drilled into the cave from the mountains and forests. They gnawed at the stone walls at key points, making the collapse even more severe.

The mud arm could no longer stop it, and the roar contained unwilling anger.

Ren Qing suddenly recalled the memory of his soul entering the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area. The arm should be the transformation of that medicine gatherer.

The medicine garden seemed to be a prison.

Under the gaze of the crowd, only one of the Twin Peaks remained, and the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area became a slightly higher earth slope.

There was no trace of the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area, but they could still feel the roar coming from the ground.

And the forbidden area itself could not move. If it wanted to come out of the Jailers' specially made tomb, it was estimated that it would be unrealistic for a hundred years.

However, according to Song Zongwu, this area would be affected by the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area next, giving rise to some inexplicable changes.

Song Zongwu stood up and said, "Next, I will contact Water Gourd. Let's rest for a few days first."

Huang Ziwan muttered to himself with a look of fear, "Water Gourd…"

"I'm going to replenish the Gu worms. There were too many casualties this time."

After Li Yaoyang finished speaking, he turned into a swarm of insects and disappeared outside the mountain.

The others then left.

The Disaster Elimination Forbidden Area had been finalized, and what remained was just a matter of time.

Seeing this, Ren Qing was about to check on the situation of the Yamen Runners, but he was stopped by Song Zongwu.

"Ren Qing, have you broken through in your spells?"

Ren Qing stopped in his tracks, fine beads of cold sweat broke out on his back, and his heart pounded wildly as his brain thought about how to explain.

Song Zongwu said to himself, "I didn't expect that your Gluttony Technique has already advanced to the Half-Corpse Realm. I'm afraid the bottleneck of the Ghost Envoy Realm is only a matter of time for you."

"Huh?"

Ren Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly admitted, "That's right, the Gluttony Technique broke through naturally."

He spread out his right hand, and a hideous mouth opened up.

Song Zongwu looked at Ren Qing with a complicated expression, and then said, "Have you thought about the path ahead?"

"Advancing to the Ghost Envoy Realm, I suppose…"

"In fact, after reaching the Ghost Envoy Realm, the cultivator's alienation will become even more uncontrollable, like a tree with spreading branches."
