The Secret Way of Immortality

Chapter 528: There Was Once a Heavenly Court in Ancient Times…

Under Ren Qing's control, the Soul-Lost disease strains frantically surged towards the Matchmaker Immortal's Niwan Palace, causing the latter's aura to become exceptionally unstable.

If the Matchmaker Immortal possessed a remnant soul, Ren Qing's actions would definitely have triggered a violent reaction.

However, for some unknown reason, the Matchmaker Immortal's soul and spirit were completely extinguished. The Niwan Palace was empty, and the brain even showed traces similar to livor mortis, indicating that the soul had been separated from the body for a very long time.

Ren Qing noticed that the Niwan Palace had an indistinct Heavenly Dao transformation. Aberrations resembling fleshy sprouts grew inside the skull, affecting the reproduction speed of the disease strains.

He did not attempt to have the Mycelial Soul seize the Matchmaker Immortal's body. After all, the Mycelial Soul was only at the Yang God realm, so controlling the body of an Earth Immortal was naturally unrealistic.

It might even awaken the Matchmaker Immortal's body.

Even if the Earth Immortal had no soul, its instincts would make the body extremely difficult to deal with, easily destroying the surrounding Dragon Blood ecosystem.

Ren Qing simply allowed the Soul-Lost disease strains to cover the inside and outside of the Niwan Palace, and then used the Toe Separation Technique to gradually construct a True Dream Realm.

However, if the Yang God realm's Toe Separation Technique was not enough to affect the Matchmaker Immortal, he would have to postpone the Heaven and Earth Life and first advance the Toe Separation Technique to the Heavenly Gu realm.

At the same time, Ren Qing took out Bo Qiang's corpse from the Longevity Forbidden Zone and sealed it in the newly opened Netherworld "Burial Immortal Cave" within his stomach world.

As for the Longevity Forbidden Zone, it was gradually refined by the stomach world.

After a long period of slow and steady effort, the Soul-Lost disease strains spread throughout the Niwan Palace, and even the brain was completely occupied, causing the blood vessels to wriggle.

Ren Qing's forehead was covered in sweat. Next was to construct the dream realm. For this, he even used tens of thousands of Mycelial Souls to communicate with the Matchmaker Immortal.

As a result, the Niwan Palace showed no change. Even after patiently maintaining the Toe Separation Technique for dozens of days, there was still no sign of a dream realm forming.

He wanted to use wolves to devour tigers, so he first had to master a dream realm independent of the stomach world.

The dream realm had to be powerful enough to affect the Heavenly Gu realm. After thinking about it, the Matchmaker Immortal's Niwan Palace should be the best place to construct a dream realm.

But unfortunately, it would probably take dozens of years for the Yang God realm's Toe Separation Technique to make the Matchmaker Immortal's body dream, so he could only give up for now.

Just as Ren Qing was about to cancel the Toe Separation Technique, red threads spread to the Niwan Palace.

The red threads directly pierced into the Matchmaker Immortal's brain, emitting a weak Nightmare Demon aura, barely acting as a bridge between the Matchmaker Immortal and the Immortal Position.

Ren Qing was stunned for a few breaths, and then realized it was Grand Dreamer.

Grand Dreamer's control over the Matchmaker Immortal was far less than Ren Qing's, but he had hundreds of split souls connected to the Immortal Position, which could indeed affect it indirectly.

The Nightmare Demon aura of the red threads fluctuated, and several sea fish exploded as a result, clearly indicating that Grand Dreamer could not hold on for too long.

Ren Qing used the Toe Separation Technique again, and the Niwan Palace was shrouded in distorted light and shadows. Vaguely, pavilions, towers, landscapes, and dwellings could be seen…

He drove a Dream Flower into the depths of the Matchmaker Immortal's brain.

Immediately, the light and shadows in the Matchmaker Immortal's Niwan Palace formed a cluster of buildings, but it was a dilapidated ruin, appearing exceptionally desolate.

Grand Dreamer withdrew in time, allowing the Dream Flower to occupy the Matchmaker Immortal's Niwan Palace.

Ren Qing continuously added bricks and tiles to the ruins, and at the entrance and exit of the dream realm, he erected a giant gate several hundred meters high.

A dilapidated plaque hung on the gate, engraved with the three characters "South Heaven Gate".

The South Heaven Gate naturally involved the Heavenly Court. Ren Qing's plan was obviously derived from the success of the Little Leiyin Temple, creating a "Little Heavenly Court" by borrowing the Matchmaker Immortal's body.

Ren Qing tried his best to construct the Heavenly Court according to the most magnificent building complex in his memory. Dense clouds shrouded the surroundings. Although there was no sun shining, it emitted a faint light.

In his memory, the buildings of the Heavenly Court seemed to be arranged in the numbers of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, so there were a total of one hundred and eight treasure halls.

In order to seek authenticity, he released several more Dream Flowers to merge into the Matchmaker Immortal's brain.

The Little Heavenly Court seemed to have experienced the baptism of a tragic war. Traces of swords clashing could be seen everywhere, as well as piles of white bones and corpses.

The largest main hall was directly shattered by a giant palm.

Ren Qing did not intend to construct a complete Heavenly Palace. The Little Leiyin Temple could be used to deceive Buddhas with insufficient knowledge, but a Buddha with the Bodhisattva Fruit position would probably see through it at a glance.

On the contrary, the ruin-like Little Heavenly Court, although full of flaws, was not incongruous at all.

Ren Qing spent several days to completely complete the devastated Heavenly Court. Next was to improve the details.

He handed over this part of the work to Ghost Shadow and the Mycelial Souls to ensure nothing went wrong.

Only then did Ren Qing's consciousness leave the Little Heavenly Court. He then took Tian Zong to the Longevity Forbidden Zone, heading straight for another fake Little Leiyin Temple.

The Little Leiyin Temple was still chanting scriptures constantly, and the number of Buddhas had not continued to decrease as a result.

Ren Qing placed Tian Zong under the fake Tathagata in the Little Leiyin Temple, and then drove the Dream Flower to absorb most of the Buddha Qi from Tian Zong's body.

Before long, Tian Zong wearily opened his eyes amidst the fake Tathagata's discourse on Buddhist principles.

His memory was still stuck when he was in the deep sea. His temples throbbed faintly. It was not until he recalled the ferocious appearance of the dragon head that he belatedly reacted.

Tian Zong subconsciously looked around. Facing the scene of hundreds of Buddhas surrounding the fake Tathagata, he was slightly unaccustomed.

Before he could figure out the situation, he suddenly noticed that the Buddha Qi was being gradually drawn away.

"No… no… Joyous Buddha, no…"

Tian Zong struggled to get up, but a strong sense of powerlessness came from his body and soul. The Fruit Position devoured his body and soul like a demon.

Faced with the loss of Buddha Qi, the Joyous Fruit Position had long since rejected Tian Zong, and deprived Tian Zong of his remaining decades of life.

An extra devout Buddha appeared in the Hundred Buddha Diagram. Tian Zong's body and soul no longer existed from then on.

The Joyous Fruit Position transformed into Buddha Qi, hovering in the Little Leiyin Temple. After discovering the many Buddhas in the hall, it chose one and drilled into its body.

"Congratulations to Huimin… for becoming a Buddha," the fake Tathagata said in a deep voice.

"Disciple thanks Buddha Ancestor."

The monk Huimin seemed to be without sorrow or joy, but in reality, his state of mind had been overwhelmed by desire. A lotus throne appeared under his feet, ranking him alongside the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

All the monks showed fanaticism. The number of Buddha positions had actually increased by one, wouldn't that mean they could also cultivate and achieve enlightenment?

They hysterically praised the fake Tathagata. If it weren't for the thoughts implanted by Ren Qing, they would probably choose monks to use as blood and flesh sacrifices.

Ren Qing glanced at the Little Leiyin Temple.

The physical Buddhas in the Western Buddhist world no longer had much need for the Deer-Riding Fruit Position. The acquisition of Deer-Riding Buddha Qi could be stopped for a while.

Next, he would first collect Joyous Buddha Qi, enough to satisfy the physical Buddhas.

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes. The idle Deer-Riding Fruit Position was not very useful to him, but it was more than enough to be used as a pawn.

The newest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

He no longer paid attention to the Little Leiyin Temple. The situation inside had always been stable, but he had to find an opportunity to replenish the number of Buddhas.

Ren Qing's arrangement was only missing the last link. He came to the Immortal Position of the Wind God Bo Qiang.

After a period of recovery, the degree of Heavenly Dao transformation of the Immortal Position was not as serious as before, but it was still a long way from complete recovery.

Ren Qing's soul communicated with the Human Immortal Office within the Immortal Position, and only felt a hurricane carrying germs hitting his body, crackling.

Immediately afterwards, strange murmurs sounded in his ears.

Terrifying visions appeared before Ren Qing's eyes. His throat was slightly itchy, as if a brand new head was about to drill out from inside.

The diseased tree swayed slightly, and a large number of Mycelial Souls actively helped the main soul bear the Heavenly Dao transformation.

The necks of the Mycelial Souls were elongated, their heads were constantly splitting open, and feathers grew on their bodies, transforming towards a human-headed bird body.

This was the first time Ren Qing had come into contact with Heavenly Dao transformation without the protection of the information stream. The alienation of his body and soul was silently out of control, which was horrifying.

He bit the bullet and continued to communicate, and only cut off contact with the Immortal Position after several hours.

Ren Qing's expression became excited. If the Little Heavenly Court wanted to gain the recognition of high-realm cultivators, it must have enough benefits to sell their souls.

He was indeed right. Through the Immortal Position, he could infer the Immortal Ascension Method.

However, the Immortal Position was not the Heavenly Dao. The Immortal Ascension Method comprehended in the face of the Heavenly Dao was more complete, and the Immortal Ascension Method comprehended by the Immortal Position always had some problems.

If one really used such an Immortal Ascension Method to become an immortal, their strength would be even worse than ordinary Gu Immortals, let alone the Turbid Immortals with uncontrolled Heavenly Dao transformation.

Ren Qing endured the discomfort and continued to use the Mycelial Souls to bear the strangeness of the Heavenly Dao transformation, concentrating his energy on deducing the Immortal Ascension Method.

In order to ensure that he did not leak himself, he simply used the Heavenly Demon Tribulation when deducing the Immortal Ascension Method, turning his body into a colorless and formless Heavenly Demon.

Even if a cultivator used the Immortal Ascension Method as a primary or secondary technique, they would only see the indistinguishable Heavenly Demon phantom when advancing to the Heavenly Gu realm.

It was just that Ren Qing was a little unaccustomed. Previously, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, it only took a few breaths to comprehend the Immortal Ascension Method, but now he had to accumulate sand to form a tower.

He did not know how long had passed before he sorted out the information comprehended by the Wind God Bo Qiang.

Ren Qing immediately chose to leave the Immortal Position, allowing tens of thousands of Mycelial Souls to sort out the content of the Immortal Ascension Method, and constantly verifying the technique with the information stream.

Finally, after a full half a year, he created four Immortal Ascension Methods with varying depths.

Only one Immortal Ascension Method had an upper limit that barely reached the Earth Immortal realm, and breaking through the bottleneck required taking more risks than usual.

【Wind Riding Art】

【Created by Ren Qing, cultivation requires piercing the lungs and using Gang Wind to penetrate the body until the lungs can contain Gang Wind.】

【The upper limit of the Wind Riding Art can be cultivated to Earth Immortal, and cannot be combined with other techniques.】

【Immortal Position: Wind God Bo Qiang】

The remaining three techniques had a maximum upper limit of the Heavenly Gu realm, and even two only had the Yang God realm, but there was no doubt that they all involved the Wind God Bo Qiang.

Ren Qing had many thoughts. As long as he used the Immortal Office to fundamentally control the Immortal Position, even if the Immortal Ascension Method spread out, it would not matter.

Moreover, he could leave some hidden hands in the Immortal Ascension Method.

Ren Qing closed his eyes and scanned the cultivators connected by the Matchmaker Immortal's red threads, selecting suitable targets to use as wolves to devour tigers.

Since the mastermind behind the Wind God Bo Qiang wanted to use the insect nest to intervene in Jing Prefecture.

He didn't mind making Jing Prefecture even more chaotic, taking the opportunity to integrate the Immortal Position of the Fortune Earth Immortal and the Lunar Star Lord into the Immortal Office.

However, the situation in Jing Prefecture was more complicated than expected.

The Turbid Immortals seemed to have a radiation similar to that of the forbidden zone, so the Lunar Star Lord was able to transform Jing Prefecture into a multi-layered world.

Now, the Heavenly Dao transformation of the Fortune Earth Immortal was intensifying, and the intervention of the insect nest caused earth-shattering changes in the entire Jing Prefecture.

What made Ren Qing even more inexplicable was that the auras of the two Immortal Positions became complementary, and the unique rules seemed to transform Jing Prefecture into a small world.
