The Secret Way of Immortality

The skeleton artifact and the ghost ship, one in front and one behind, took five years to cross the endless forest.

Being in the air is indeed relatively safe, but it must be admitted that without the ability to fly, there is only a dead end in the endless forest.

The large restricted area formed by the corpses of Heavenly Gu Realm cultivators is tasteless to eat but a pity to discard for most forces.

It is laborious to find the location of the corpse, and in the end, you may only get some fragmented pieces of flesh.

The lack of jurisdiction allows this forest to expand in all directions, assimilating any adjacent terrain into lush thickets.

However, in a sense, Xiangxiang's location is indeed very remote.

Not far from Xiangxiang is Jingzhou, ruled by the Fude Earth Immortal. To the northeast lies the unfathomable Supreme Heavenly Demon, and the Cishi of the Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva, with immortals and Buddhas gathered together.

In addition, with the endless forest behind it, Xiangxiang is like a pebble beside the abyss, inconspicuous, and no force would have passed by it before.

Such a harsh environment has created a not-so-small Forbidden Prison Hall.

The skeleton artifact gradually slowed down, seemingly about to reach its destination.

On the way, it changed its flight path many times, obviously trying to test the invisible follower, the ghost ship.

However, the ghost ship is, after all, an artifact that Ren Qing has refined many times, containing an artifact spirit with no low intelligence, and is not as rigid as ordinary artifacts.

Faced with danger, the ghost ship instead exerted 100% concentration, biting its prey like a hungry wolf.

Wherever the skeleton artifact went, it immediately followed closely behind.

However, what puzzled Ren Qing was that even though the ghost ship was shrouded in the Disaster Elimination Dharma Cage, the Bone Cultivator had obviously noticed its existence, and several years should have been enough to lock down its approximate location.

The Bone Cultivator did not show any intention of attacking, and later even seemed to be deliberately guiding the ghost ship.

Another cultivator might have retreated in the face of difficulty, but Ren Qing was different. He had so many life-saving methods that he was a bit reckless.

Moreover, the divination showed "ominous with auspiciousness," indicating that the crack representing the ominous sign was not too narrow.

Ren Qing sat cross-legged in the guest room inside the cabin. There was a glass window on the wall, through which he could see the outside scenery.

In the sound of seabirds flapping their wings, the magnificent sea appeared before his eyes.

As the bright red sun rose, the world transformed from dim to bright in just a few minutes, as if a curtain was being drawn open by immortals and Buddhas.

Although Ren Qing's stomach world also had a sea of wine, he had always viewed it from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao. It had been a hundred years since he had seen the ocean.

Ren Qing retracted his gaze. Given the terrifying extent of this world, it was hard to imagine how many unspeakable horrors were hidden overseas.

He also noticed that several cargo-carrying artifacts were hovering in the sky, their appearances strange and bizarre.

There were wooden stakes pieced together from countless thorns; or semi-transparent smoke and dust, with pavilions and towers vaguely located within; Buddhism was also mixed in, with artifacts resembling fleshy balls, their surfaces covered in sharp teeth...

The strengths of the artifacts' owners varied, and they were obviously waiting on the sea.

Ren Qing closed his eyes and communicated with the Immortal Position of the Great Dream True Man, and immediately confirmed that their target should be the location of the Great Dream True Man.

The Great Dream True Man was not in the ground, but at least ten thousand miles under the sea.

Without an artifact, how did the Great Dream True Man get to the bottom of the sea, and why did the Immortal Position attract so many forces?

Ren Qing clearly remembered that when Xiangxiang was destroyed, according to the meaning of the Great Dream True Man's words before leaving, he should have gone to find the corpse of the Taisui Dao Lord. Why did he suddenly run to the bottom of the sea?

As the ghost ship approached the coastline, he could clearly see the remains of buildings in the sand, as well as long-abandoned fields.

However, the sand was full of piled-up bones, and the bloody smell caused countless seabirds to perch.

It could be seen that the arrival time of the various forces was not too early, and they had just carried out a bloodbath on the coastline, destroying an eyesore tribe.

From time to time, a large number of corpses would be thrown down from the artifacts.

Ren Qing stared at the artifacts of the various forces, and could feel a Heavenly Gu Realm aura, but it was relatively weak and not very threatening.

Just as he was secretly observing, the skeleton artifact had already driven towards the sea.

The various forces seemed to have acquiesced to the Bone Cultivator's actions, spaced about a kilometer apart, revealing a somewhat strange atmosphere.

Before long, figures appeared on top of the artifacts, looking towards the skeleton artifact.

The figures wore different costumes, some with ordinary Taoist robes, others with kasayas embroidered with strange faces, and still others with robes made of grass and trees.

The Bone Cultivator then crawled out of the skeleton artifact, its body about a meter tall, its skeleton deformed and twisted, and its head several times larger than normal.

They did not speak to each other, and their expressions clearly showed an unspeakable complexity.

Some were greedy, some were shocked, and others had eyes flashing with incomprehensible fear, as if they were performing a silent play.

"Huh?"

Ren Qing suddenly noticed something.

The cultivators of the various forces, no matter how different the spells they mastered, had surprisingly similar appearances, like twins.

Even the Bone Cultivator, whose head had no flesh, could clearly see from the shape of the skull that it was almost identical.

"What the hell, doppelgangers?"

"Could it be... related to the Immortal Position at the bottom of the sea?"

Ren Qing felt inexplicable. Just as he was thinking, another town-like artifact came from afar, hovering motionless on the sea.

A cultivator flew out of the city, his appearance still like a blood brother.

Ren Qing couldn't help but use the Toe Leaving Technique. Although he couldn't figure out the memories of the cultivators of the various forces without making a sound.

But he could vaguely feel that most of the cultivators were very unfamiliar with the environment here, as if they were here for the first time.

Ren Qing silently controlled the ghost ship to sail towards the gathering place of the various forces, while gradually removing the shrouded Disaster Elimination Dharma.

The various abilities he possessed already allowed him to be greatly hidden in the city. Canceling the Disaster Elimination Dharma could take the opportunity to summon the information stream at close range.

The scene was indeed a bit strange, and he would definitely be able to discover many clues from the information stream.

Ren Qing's trip was for the Immortal Position, and the actions of the various forces were related to the Immortal Position's abilities. Figuring it out would make it easier for him to arrange a backup plan.

The ghost ship slowly sailed away from the endless forest. Because the associated spells were the Gluttony Technique and the Human Skin Book, the aura it emitted was unremarkable.

The sea breeze blew, and the human skin sails fluttered in the wind on the flesh-like deck.

The Bone Cultivator recognized that the ghost ship was the artifact that had been following him all the way, and his upper and lower jaws kept colliding, making a creepy laugh.

His short body drilled back into the skeleton, and then seemed to have changed his body again.

The shape of the skull was indeed no longer the same, and the narrow spine on his back presented a dragon and snake shape, ready to move and staring at Ren Qing.

Ren Qing's figure appeared on the deck of the ghost ship. Under the effect of the Disguise Technique, the common face of the cultivators was imitated vividly.

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

When the cultivators saw his similar appearance, they were obviously a little distracted, indicating that they did not know the reason for the identical appearance at all.

Then, for some reason, the cultivators did not have a trace of suspicion, and naturally accepted the latter's joining.

Ren Qing frowned slightly and couldn't help but summon the information stream to check.

[Mu She Daoist]

[Age: 1751]

[Lifespan: None]

[Spell: Dragon Bone Technique (Bone Cleansing)]

[Dragon Bone Technique]

[Created by the Dragon Snake Daoist, cultivation requires the spine to be mutated into snake bones, and then peeled off and replaced with a Jiaolong spine. It can only be cultivated if you are immortal]

[The upper limit of the Dragon Bone Technique can be cultivated to the Heavenly Gu Realm, and other spells cannot be taken into account.]

[Tian Zong]

[Age: 1333]

[Lifespan: 76 years]

[Spell: Joy Sutra (Perfect Realm)]

[Joy Sutra]

[Created by the Joyful Arhat, cultivation requires the Joyful Arhat to leave a little Buddha light in his dantian, which can be cultivated by stimulating it with his own flesh and blood.]

The Snake Molting Technique created by Mu She Daoist is still a mainstream spell in the prison lineage because of its unique molting ability.

Unexpectedly, he was still not dead, but the spell he mastered originated from the Dragon Snake Daoist, who was the creator of the Dragon Snake Spine.

After careful observation, Ren Qing guessed that the Spine Bearer of the Armored Body Art should be integrated into Mu She Daoist's Ascension Art.

The Yin Difference Realm of the Spine Bearer is called "Immortals in the Bones." After death, the bones will give birth to intelligence and become Bone Immortals. It is estimated that this is Mu She Daoist's current state, neither alive nor dead.

If Tian Zong is not mistaken, he should be the contemporary Buddha of the Joyful Arhat, and even his cultivation has reached the Heavenly Gu Realm.

Usually, after the Fruit Position is cultivated to perfection, it will be swallowed by the Buddha's Qi within a hundred years.

He can still live for seventy-six years. Once his lifespan is exhausted, he will be greeted by the Joyful Arhat's forceful plunder.

Mu She Daoist and Tian Zong are the only two Heavenly Gu Realm powerhouses, but one is a corpse after death, and the other is a Buddha who has achieved enlightenment.

No wonder they are so weak, they are both Heavenly Gu Realm trapped in the Dharma Birth Dao.

Ren Qing scanned all the cultivators of the various forces with the information stream, and noticed that their ages were almost all 1333, proving that they were born in the same year, and even their birthdays were the same.

Only Mu She Daoist's age was different, but he had died once after all.

How could there be so many coincidences.

Ren Qing believed that he was not just lucky to encounter this. Similar situations were likely to occur every once in a while.

The same appearance, the same birthday, how many such people are there, and why did they come to the sea, and is it related to the Immortal Position?

No one spoke at the scene. Many cultivators returned to their artifacts, showing a slight fear of Mu She Daoist, but Ren Qing did not care at all.

Before Ren Qing deliberately revealed the Heavenly Gu Realm, the ghost ship was indeed easily overlooked just by looking at it.

Only Mu She Daoist stared straight at Ren Qing, his eyes filled with undisguised greed, especially when he scanned his spine.

In his eyes, Ren Qing exuded an irresistible taste, as if he was a pill that could ascend on the spot if eaten.

Mu She Daoist had confirmed it many times on the road, and he couldn't help but be impatient when he saw Ren Qing, and an unspeakable death aura leaked out.

His teeth rubbed together. If it weren't for the fear of others, he would have driven the artifact to come.

Ren Qing ignored Mu She Daoist. With the Corpse Emperor of Fengdu and the Primordial Ancestral Dragon present, he could crush Mu She Daoist even if he was wiped out.

His eyes met Tian Zong's for a few breaths, and the latter laughed loudly.

"This benefactor, although I don't see you mastering the Buddhist Dharma, you understand the Buddhist principles, and you have the blessing of the Buddha's fate. You have a connection with Buddhism."

Ren Qing walked straight into the cabin, leaving only Tian Zong's Amitabha Buddha.
