The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing recognized the voice, it was none other than the Boar Taoist who had never concealed his presence. The latter's cultivation should be at the Dao-Birth Completion realm.

However, he also heard a distinct note of madness in the Boar Taoist's words.

Ren Qing was not well-informed about the current situation of the various factions, but he knew that Jing Prefecture was shrouded in the Immortal Position rules, making it easy to act extremely.

Although he had managed to get the various factions to work together through coercion and inducement.

In reality, the numerous Heaven-Devils were still in competition, all wanting to reach the deeper world as soon as possible to figure out where the opportunity lay.

As for the Heavenly Court, they had temporarily shelved it after failing to enter the dream realm multiple times.

On closer thought, even if it involved becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao, given the current situation in this world, Earth Immortals were still doomed.

Ren Qing's figure left the underground cave and arrived at the top of Sanxiang City.

Looking up, the towns of Xiangxiang were interconnected, and the means of transportation had been replaced by carriages infested with Gu worms. A single horse had forcibly grown six legs and possessed three hearts.

It could be seen that under the influence of the various factions, the civilization of the inner world had become bizarre.

They began to use Gu worms to attempt flesh and blood modification of living beings, and many Insect Warriors had even started experimenting on themselves.

Ren Qing looked around and shook his head helplessly.

Jing Prefecture's Gu refinement techniques were completely focused on the Gu worms, with the host being secondary, which led to the situation of being eager for quick results.

Letting them painstakingly cultivate techniques for decades might not be as effective as modifying their limbs.

Bang… Bang… Bang…

A deafening sound came from the northwest corner, revealing the figure of the Boar Taoist.

The Boar Taoist's flesh and blood were covered with Gu worms, not only connected to his blood vessels, but even his internal organs and bones had become breeding grounds for the Gu worms.

He seemed to be enduring the pain, trembling all over, with countless Gu worms falling off.

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes. Despite the great price the Boar Taoist seemed to have paid, in reality, with the vitality of a Heaven-Devil, he could quickly recover completely as long as he got rid of the Gu worm infestation.

Of course, most importantly, the Gu worms chosen by the Boar Taoist did not exceed the Yin-Official realm, indicating that he still retained some rationality.

"Fellow Daoists, Gu worms represent the key to reaching the deeper world. As long as you control the Gu worms, you can decide…"

As he spoke, Gu worms were shed like raindrops, and his body gradually shrank.

The Boar Taoist clearly did not want to face the deeper world alone. After demonstrating the effect of the Gu worms, he wanted to continue staying in the inner world.

"…"

"Why? That's impossible…"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed that his body and soul were gradually collapsing, and then he uncontrollably soared into the air.

Ren Qing looked closely and discovered that the Gu worms possessing the Boar Taoist had a faint trace of blood color in the veins of their wings.

It should have originated from the Blood Bat Matriarch, with the purpose of stimulating the rapid growth of the Gu worms.

The Heaven-Devils were all silent, not because they didn't know how to get to the deeper world, but because they were waiting for the Boar Taoist to lose his patience.

The Boar Taoist revealed his weakness and was immediately sold out by the Blood Bat Matriarch.

Madam White Bone appeared beside Ren Qing and said mockingly, "Since you want to go to the deeper world so much, don't be so timid."

She stared at the Boar Taoist, who was disappearing bit by bit, and asked softly, "Four Seas Dragon King, is this the only path to the deeper world?"

A dozen or so Heaven-Devils from Jing Prefecture acted simultaneously, attaching their respective techniques to the Boar Taoist to explore the situation in the deeper world.

"Maybe, the Merit Monk's method cannot be replicated."

A trace of concern flashed in Madam White Bone's eyes, but after sensing that the Boar Taoist's aura still existed, she turned and returned to her cave.

Which Heaven-Devil hadn't lived until now by licking blood from the blade's edge? Coupled with the influence of body and soul alienation, they lacked a natural fear of danger.

According to Ren Qing's estimation, they might hesitate for a while, but as long as the Boar Taoist's situation was similar to that of the Ghost Shadow, without encountering any danger, they would eventually lose their patience.

Ren Qing guessed that the deeper world should be the very center of Jing Prefecture.

It was definitely a small world composed of Immortal Position rules. Whether there was an opportunity that the Heaven-Devils wanted was still unknown.

Just as Ren Qing was pondering, another Heaven-Devil chose to ascend.

The Heaven-Devil transformed into his true form, a fish similar to a Kunpeng. He seemed to have raised the Gu worms in his stomach, so he was much more at ease.

He unhesitatingly headed to the deeper world, also kicking off the prelude for the various factions.

Almost every two or three days, a Heaven-Devil would leave the inner world through Gu worms, and the Blood Bat Matriarch also ascended half a month later.

The Blood Bat Matriarch naturally couldn't give up, as it involved the Blessed Earth Immortal.

Ren Qing could sense that monks were disappearing from the inner world from time to time, but he didn't know who they were specifically.

Before leaving, the Heaven-Devils all chose extreme Insect Warriors to ascend with them.

In addition, some monks mainly took a wait-and-see approach.

Ren Qing had been trying to communicate with the Ghost Shadow in the deeper world, but it had no effect at all, even though the Ghost Shadow's main body was still in the stomach world.

He suddenly thought of a way, simply splitting off part of the Ghost Shadow again.

When the Ghost Shadow ascended, he would smuggle information within it.

After the two Ghost Shadows merged, they moved in the deeper world according to Ren Qing's instructions. Their speed was not slow, as if there was no danger at all.

After spending a month or so, the Ghost Shadow successfully left the deeper world and appeared on the outskirts of Jing Prefecture, at the edge of the Great Desert Waterland.

During this period, only a few scattered Heaven-Devils remained.

Due to the large-scale proliferation of Gu worms, after learning that refining Gu worms could travel through multiple worlds, it was not difficult to obtain a sufficient number of Gu worms.

Ren Qing retrieved the Ghost Shadow, and information about the deeper world flooded into his mind.

He closed his eyes and digested it, his expression becoming more and more shocked. He never expected that Jing Prefecture would have undergone such earth-shattering changes under the influence of the Immortal Position.

The Ghost Shadow had not discovered any traces of the Blood Bat Matriarch or other monks.

Because it was in Xiangxiang, the Ghost Shadow was not far from the Waterland, so it had been rushing underground the entire time.

Its memory only knew that the mastermind definitely came from Buddhism and had glimpsed the truth of the rules.

"Could the mastermind be a Buddha-child with the Tathagata Fruit Position?"

Ren Qing realized that the deeper world was not a very dangerous place for him, so he prepared for the ascension.

Once he reached the deeper world, he should be able to contact the True Immortal soon.

After figuring out how to construct rules with the Immortal Position, Ren Qing could smoothly escape. He didn't want to participate in the Buddhist layout at all.

Ren Qing didn't intend to let go of the million people in Jing Prefecture.

He directly released the Ghost Shadow, and towns were shrouded in darkness, with dragon-headed maws drilling out of the shadows.

The other factions were silent about this.

The powerful Heaven-Devils had already gone to the deeper world, and the remaining monks didn't dare to provoke Ren Qing at all.

Ren Qing's unscrupulous collection of Insect Warriors only made them feel apprehensive at most.

But as long as it didn't involve their interests, why would they offend the unfathomable Heavenly Court for some mortals whose potential had been exhausted?

The Ghost Shadow roared lowly. Before the Insect Warriors could react, hundreds of thousands of people were forcibly taken into the stomach world.

After continuous expansion, the area of the land and ocean in the stomach world became wider and wider, and even some large islands appeared.

Ren Qing directly placed the Insect Warriors on an island.

As soon as the Insect Warriors arrived in the stomach world, they felt strange objects reviving in their bodies, and their flesh and bones gave birth to the illusion of being devoured.

But fortunately, the Heavenly Dao suddenly exerted its power, and a terrifying aura enveloped the island.

After the strange objects were suppressed, the Insect Warriors had to re-cultivate their techniques, otherwise, if the strange objects gave up their parasitism, they would soon become ordinary people.

To ensure that the Gu worm civilization would not be destroyed, Ren Qing simply had Li Yaoyang leave behind the inheritance of various Gu refinement techniques on the island.

The Insect Warriors' towns were completely preserved. As long as they figured out the Gu refinement techniques, they would soon be able to get back on track.

Ren Qing didn't have the energy to guide the development of the Insect Warriors, but resources were still sufficient.

The island was named "Poison Insect Island" by Li Yaoyang because the island's ecosystem contained tens of thousands of abundant insects.

Before long, towns and villages could no longer be seen in the inner world.

Ren Qing took a look at the movements in the outer world and found that many of the newly arrived forces had already started fighting each other.

They were destined to be useless, unless they discovered the special characteristics of Gu worms.

The most miserable were the tens of thousands of insect people led by Gu Zhenren, who could only hide underground tremblingly, after all, they had lost the protection of the insect nest.

Ren Qing would not return to the outer world for the time being.

If Gu Zhenren was still alive before leaving Jing Prefecture, he could consider giving him a hand.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ren Qing didn't plan to stay any longer, letting the Ghost Shadow possess him, his body swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, he had already broken through the scope of a thousand meters, standing upright in the valley.

Madam White Bone covered her mouth and chuckled with some relief. Seeing Ren Qing ascend to the deeper world, she no longer felt regret or hesitation.

Her skeleton was parasitized by a large number of Gu worms, but they were dormant under the coercion of Yin energy. If they were fully awakened without reservation.

The other Heaven-Devils also followed closely behind.

Only Feng Ye still didn't move, obviously having received Ren Qing's instructions.

Ren Qing told Feng Kongren that after confirming that all the Heaven-Devils had ascended, he could even withdraw from Jing Prefecture to avoid being accidentally involved in danger.

He then plunged into a pitch-black darkness, his body and soul undulating as if in ocean waves.

However, Ren Qing could still use techniques and could use the Divine Power of Death Without Life at any time to feign death and escape elsewhere.

"Hmm?!"

Ren Qing's eyes widened. He thought that the information collected by the Ghost Shadow was enough, but he didn't expect that something was wrong from the beginning.

His body and soul simultaneously heard the sound of scriptures being recited.

This was something he had not anticipated. After all, the Ghost Shadow had no intelligence, so it could not be affected by external objects at all.

Ren Qing was therefore certain that the mastermind could use the power of the Tathagata Fruit Position, and his purpose was not simply to use the Merit Monk to contact the Heavenly Dao.

However, it was still within the range of tolerance. It just so happened that he didn't plan to show himself with his main body.

The moment Ren Qing arrived in the deeper world, he summoned the Flesh Body Tathagata to the present world.

His body and soul transformed into a Nightmare Demon, and then used the Heavenly Demon Possession to drill into the body.

The Flesh Body Tathagata perfectly adapted to Ren Qing. Because of the Heavenly Demon Possession, he could easily control the actions of the Flesh Body Tathagata.

Ren Qing looked around. Even though he had expected it, he was shocked by the scene before him.
