The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing sat with his eyes closed in a temporary cave carved out of the underground river, surrounded by various materials to aid in his cultivation.

For example, sandalwood for calming the mind and spirit, worth at least three thousand stone blood crystals per ounce; or a futon to solidify his qi and blood, a magical artifact personally refined by Ren Qing, priceless and unavailable in the Jail Ward.

Even the seemingly ordinary array could isolate foreign auras from the outside world, making the circulation of spells smoother.

As the head of the entire Jail Ward, Ren Qing naturally possessed far more resources than one could imagine.

Even though he mainly relied on the information stream to advance his spells, he still didn't skimp on resources during his daily cultivation, as the world in his stomach was already on the right track, producing a steady stream of them.

After Ren Qing completed the great cycle of his five spells, he glanced at the crack in the Heavenly Dao on the surface of the tortoise shell, which had unknowingly recovered by more than half.

He was not in a hurry to break through the bottleneck, after all, the crack in the Heavenly Dao represented the burden of Heavenly Daoization, and once it exceeded 50%, it might get out of control.

Since Ren Qing was going to the Buddhist realm, he decided to play it safe and keep the crack in the Heavenly Dao below 30%, so he wouldn't panic even when facing the three Dao Ancestors directly.

During his retreat, the situation in this world stagnated, with hardly any forces showing their faces outside, which made life much easier for rogue cultivators.

The saying of the two Immortals, the Corrupted and the Strange, had already spread.

Most cultivators were aware of the existence of the Corrupted Immortal, and had even come into contact with them more than once, but they were very unfamiliar with the Strange Immortal.

They had never imagined that becoming an immortal was not a dead end.

They secretly tried to verify the Strange and Corrupted Immortals, and the clues they obtained were shocking. It seemed that the greatest enemy of becoming an immortal was actually the Heavenly Dao.

The trend of sealing immortals was still fermenting, but no matter how the various forces acted, the turmoil in this world was already inevitable.

No one knew what would happen after the Fixed Light Buddha transformed in the Beast Pen?

Because of the pressure from the Supreme Heavenly Demon, the Black Goat Dharma Robe gradually became a hot commodity, and hunting Black Goats was no longer rare.

Although the soul would be eroded by the remaining aura of the Heavenly Demon when wearing the Dharma Robe, it was still better than being completely unprepared against the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

Ren Qing knew that to get the old undying ones from the Heavenly Guile Realm to stand up, he still needed a fire, a raging fire that would burn this world to ashes.

He and Nameless had different plans, but their desire to become immortals was the same.

The two of them were pushing the progress of the world, and the trend was like a rolling wheel that could not be stopped. Even if the Heavenly Guile Realm wanted to stop it, it would be like an螳螂trying to stop a chariot.

Ren Qing looked towards Jing Province and closed his eyes to continue waiting.

He was in a state of cultivation, and the passage of time was silent.

More than half a year passed, and the advancement of the Immortal Sealing War seemed to have yielded nothing, but it also seemed to have changed something imperceptibly?

No new immortal positions were revealed, and the immortal positions that had already appeared were being watched by various forces, but they could not find the existence of the immortal positions themselves.

Ren Qing took a deep breath. As the transformation of the Fixed Light Buddha slowly approached its end, some cultivators would inevitably go crazy.

"When one person attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

"When a hundred people attain the Dao, not even their chickens and dogs are left behind."

He took out a stack of papers, digesting the information reported by the Jail Ward recently.

He noticed that Li Tiangang had invested more than 30,000 Ghost Envoy Realm cultivators in the Beast Pen, just to assist the various forces in hunting Black Goats.

The Fixed Light Buddha and the Supreme Heavenly Demon did not care at all about the numerous cultivators rampaging through the Beast Pen.

Of course, perhaps in their eyes, the Heavenly Guile Realm cultivators were nothing but ants, and the Black Goats were expendable items that could be discarded at will.

Li Tiangang also sold the Black Goat's fur through various black markets, allowing the various forces to focus their attention on the Buddhist realm.

Not much corpse salary was collected, mainly because it could not be taken out of the Buddhist realm.

The Jail Ward stored the corpse salary in underground excavated caves, and the transportation relied on the Taoist disciples. The Shadowless Ghosts' shadow transformation could traverse through the gaps in the soil and rocks.

The situation in the Beast Pen did not exceed Ren Qing's expectations. The next news about the Jail Ward was a pleasant surprise.

"Not bad…"

Ren Qing couldn't help but smile when he saw the notes left by Real Man Great Dream and Song Zongwu, and then he asked the Heavenly Dao in his stomach world to pay attention to their condition at all times.

Real Man Great Dream had an extremely solid foundation, and he mainly cultivated self-created spells. The Dream Butterfly Spell was very suitable for his alienated and out-of-control soul.

The resources in the Jail Ward rarely reached the level of Earth Immortal, but the materials of the Heavenly Guile Realm were in sufficient stock, which was also a rare help for the Yang God Realm.

Real Man Great Dream had the right time, right place, and right people, so his spell progress was naturally rapid.

Although he had not yet reached the bottleneck of the Yang God Realm's perfection, he had already begun to prepare for the matter of advancing to the Heavenly Guile Realm, and officially began his closed-door cultivation.

Ren Qing did not hesitate to promote Real Man Great Dream's Human Immortal position to Earth Immortal position.

If Real Man Great Dream successfully advanced to the Heavenly Guile Realm, the Earth Immortal position would be a matter of course. If he died, at least he could be reincarnated.

Song Zongwu had just completed the breakthrough of the Ascension Ladder. Because he only had two main and secondary spells, and the content of the spells did not conflict, the difficulty of comprehending the Ascension Law was not too high.

He was facing the Heavenly Lord of the Primordial Beginning, and he naturally advanced to the Ascension Ladder.

Ren Qing originally thought that the Ascension Law comprehended by Song Zongwu was at most the Yang God Realm, and he was planning to help him get a Heavenly Guile Realm Ascension Law, but he didn't expect the latter to create a Heavenly Guile Realm Ascension Law.

【Half-Thought Demon】

【Created by Song Zongwu, cultivation requires the appearance of a six-armed, six-eyed Asura, and must be burned by Karmic Fire for three years without falling before it can be cultivated.】

【The upper limit of the Half-Thought Demon can be cultivated to the Heavenly Guile Realm, and can also take into account other spells.】

When Ren Qing saw the harsh entry conditions of the Half-Thought Demon, he knew that other than Song Zongwu, only he could master it.

No cultivator could withstand the pain of being burned by Karmic Fire, let alone maintain sanity for three years, they would have to die completely within a few days at most.

Ren Qing secretly inquired about Song Zongwu.

He noticed that the Half-Thought Demon was different from other Ascension Laws, and could actually use the absorption of Karmic Fire to break through the small realm of the Heavenly Guile Realm.

This made the upper limit of the Half-Thought Demon not "Law Creates Dao", but the perfection of the Heavenly Guile Realm.

Ren Qing guessed that it was related to the Karmic Fire that Song Zongwu's body and soul were stained with. The Karmic Fire replaced the Fruit Position and produced a subtle symbiosis with it, which was an unrepeatable opportunity.

When Song Zongwu mastered the Half-Thought Demon, he should be able to take the opportunity to break through to the Wusheng Immortal.

Ren Qing also granted Song Zongwu the Earth Immortal position to increase the chances of both of them advancing.

Only when the Jail Ward had self-cultivated Heavenly Guile Realm cultivators could a virtuous cycle be formed, stimulating more Yang God Realm cultivators to seek breakthroughs.

Perhaps influenced by the closed-door cultivation of Song Zongwu and the other two, the remaining Yang God Realm cultivators in the Jail Ward all chose to cultivate in seclusion.

It was not necessarily to break through to the Heavenly Guile Realm, but at least they could not fall too far behind.

Ren Qing also tried not to assign them tasks outside.

The next hundred years should be a period of explosive growth for high-level cultivators in the Jail Ward. He didn't know how many cultivators would reach the Yang God Realm and the Heavenly Guile Realm.

Not long after Ren Qing put down the papers in his hand, he suddenly realized something.

The originally turbulent underground river suddenly became as calm as water, like a calm lake surface, reflecting the stalactites on the top of the cave.

Ren Qing got up unhurriedly and turned into a true dragon to leap into the water.

A moment later, he came to the end of the tributary of the underground river. The rock wall was already covered with cracks, filled with the salty and fishy smell unique to the ocean.

"It's finally here."

Ren Qing stroked the cracks on the surface of the rock wall, and his palm was already stained with seawater.

Crack, crack, crack…

Seawater the thickness of fingers poured into the underground river, mixed with a large number of sea fish. A terrifying aura emanated from the inside of the rock wall.

The cracks became more and more dense. With a crisp sound, thousands of meters of rock wall shattered, and the Matchmaker Immortal's head was among them.

Bang!!!

Kunpeng quickly pulled the rope. It and the various dragons were much thinner, which showed that pulling the body of a True Immortal was still very difficult.

The Jail Ward cultivators responsible for transporting the Matchmaker Immortal were all overjoyed.

Years of high-intensity labor had made them miserable, especially having to face the True Immortal, which had greatly tempered their spirits.

"Immortal Elder, I have not failed my mission."

Black Water Taoist clasped his fists, and Gu Zhenren stood half a meter away from him, looking like he was already very familiar with the Human Insect Force.

Ren Qing nodded in satisfaction and let the ghost shadow open the path to the world in his stomach.

"Thank you for your hard work. You can return to the world in your stomach. All the cultivators can go to the Great Dream Pavilion and ask for half a year's reward."

"Thank you, Immortal!"

"Get rich!!"

"The demon immortal has attained the Dao! The demon immortal has attained the Dao!!"

……

If it weren't for the Matchmaker Immortal, the cultivators would probably have couldn't help but release the aura of their spells. Everyone was filled with uncontrollable joy.

Ren Qing glanced at Gu Zhenren, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

What courage.

Gu Zhenren was still in the Ghost Envoy Realm, but he had silently undergone three Strange Transformations. The credit was all due to the natal Gu worm "Crab Man" on his back.

The Crab Man was a semi-parasitic Gu worm that could absorb the host's nutrients to grow.

Gu Zhenren actually took the opportunity of contacting the Matchmaker Immortal to briefly let the Crab Man parasitize the True Immortal's body, making the Gu worm reach the perfection of the Ghost Envoy Realm, indirectly promoting his own cultivation.

Seeing that Ren Qing was easy to talk to, Gu Zhenren asked, "Immortal, may I ask what level this giant fish is?"

Ren Qing did not expose Gu Zhenren's thoughts and said directly, "True Immortal."

The cultivators were stunned, and a chilling coldness swept through their minds. Their bodies couldn't stop trembling, and they fled into the world in their stomachs in a panic.

They had never thought that they were living with a True Immortal day and night.

Weren't they constantly testing the edge of death, and if they were not careful, their souls would be scattered.

Only Gu Zhenren showed a different color, not greed, but a kind of rejoicing, and his right hand subconsciously touched the storage bag in his arms.

Ren Qing immediately understood that Gu Zhenren's opportunity was not only the parasitism of the Gu worm, but he might have also obtained the skin shavings shed by the Matchmaker Immortal.

He was too lazy to investigate further. If the Matchmaker Immortal had any instinctual activity, he could detect it through the Toe Separation Technique at the first time and take countermeasures.

Ren Qing waited until all the Jail Ward cultivators had evacuated before using the ghost shadow to tie up the Matchmaker Immortal and return to the temporary closed-door cultivation cave along the same route.

His current location was still relatively safe. Since the Fixed Light Buddha no longer sat in the Buddhist realm, the expansion of darkness had completely stopped.

After Ren Qing settled the Matchmaker Immortal, he could go to find the whereabouts of the three immortal positions.

Wherever the Matchmaker Immortal passed, the surface of the water was covered with a layer of fish corpses. Fish with a little bit of intelligence were vying to swim away.

Ren Qing frowned slightly and looked at the fish, noticing that they were actually taking the same route.

Could it be that the underground river had something hidden?

He shook his head. The disease species had covered most of the river, and there were a large number of fungus people stationed on the rock walls. Even the vegetation contained dragon blood, and the fish were gradually transforming into scaled carp.

If there was really something hidden, it was impossible for Ren Qing to be unaware of it all along.

However, when he transported the Matchmaker Immortal outside the cave, he still spent more effort to protect it. Even the Heavenly Guile Realm could not easily break through it.

Even if something really happened, Ren Qing's methods could handle it remotely.

He carefully confirmed it several times, and after realizing that there were no omissions in the cave, he used the Heavenly Demon Possession, and his body and soul disappeared into the dark cave.

Not long after Ren Qing left, the fish in the underground river returned to the vicinity of the cave, constantly swimming around the Matchmaker Immortal.

But when they approached within a hundred meters, they would be killed by the array set up by Ren Qing.

Ren Qing was already in the Buddhist realm at this time, and his body was buried in the soil, with a hint of imperceptible coldness flashing in his eyes.

"There really is something hidden. Could it be that Huang Ling is not dead and hiding in the depths of the river?"

Ren Qing did not act rashly. One of the jade bottles protecting the Matchmaker Immortal cracked, and crystal clear dragon blood dripped into the water.

The dragon blood content in the fish increased sharply, and the scales became dense, and ferocious fangs grew in their mouths.

The latest novels are available on Liǔ Liù Jiǔ Shū Bā!

Dragon beasts were born, and they lurked in the fish, eyeing each other covetously.

Even if Huang Ling was hiding somewhere in the underground river, he should be in a state of lingering breath, otherwise his aura would definitely be detected.

Ren Qing was still very interested in these spell creators.

It was a pity that the mountain gods bred from their pseudo-souls and memories had very mediocre progress in cultivation, and he didn't know why.

Ren Qing pushed aside the soil covering his body and officially came to the Buddhist realm.

What came into view was darkness that was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, mixed with an extremely rich Heavenly Demon aura, and a small amount of Fixed Light Buddha qi.

Ren Qing had never encountered such a strange and inexplicable environment.

Ren Qing uncomfortably exhaled a breath. It was clear that darkness had no volume, but the touch of his skin told him that he seemed to be in an ocean made of hair.

The Buddha qi and the Heavenly Demon aura were, in a sense, all-pervasive foreign auras.

Ren Qing felt strands of hair trying to drill into his flesh. If the foreign auras were really allowed to succeed, the fate that awaited him might be similar to that of the Wind Hollow Man, with black hair wrapping around his body.

What surprised him was that there was a human skin book among the secondary spells of the Yan Ancestor Vein.

After hundreds of years of training, Ren Qing's skin had some resistance to the Heavenly Demon aura, but in the Buddhist realm, it was as if he was defenseless.

This was still the periphery of the Buddhist realm. Jing Province was located in the deepest part, and the Heavenly Demon aura there was probably so strong that it was unimaginable.

Da da da da…

Dense footsteps came from far to near. Obviously, the movement made by Ren Qing had attracted monsters in the darkness, at least tens of thousands of them.

But he was maintaining the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, and his sense of existence should have been diluted to the extreme.

"Damn it…"

As expected of an existence above the Earth Immortal, even though the Fixed Light Buddha was not in the Buddhist realm, Ren Qing's spells were greatly reduced.

Ren Qing did not retreat because of this. At least his divination showed "ominous with auspicious".

The monsters were rushing in madly, but Ren Qing could not see the appearance of the monsters with his naked eyes, like the Heavenly Demon, colorless and formless.

The Jail Ward cultivators' means of dealing with monsters were very simple.

They could only divide some of the cultivators to delay the monsters' attack, and light bonfires before the situation completely got out of control, with no certainty of victory against the enemy.

Ren Qing waved his right arm, and a ghost image formed a large net, descending towards the monster.

Unfortunately, the shadow seemed unable to capture the monster's figure, and the latter directly passed through the ghost image, continuing to swarm towards Ren Qing.

Ren Qing refused to believe it, and while dodging nimbly, he used various methods to deal with the monster.

Ghost images, useless.

Magical artifacts, useless.

Lightning, useless.

………

As Ren Qing's temper flared, countless monsters gathered, stacking on top of each other like waves.

"Could it be that I can only avoid its sharp edge?"

Ren Qing was somewhat embarrassed and enraged, directly pushing the Heavenly Transformation to its limit.

He transformed into the form of the Ancestral Dragon, and under the effect of the Heavenly Transformation, he grew dozens of heads with different appearances, and the number of his hands and feet also increased to thousands.

Ren Qing projected all the jailers from his Stomach World onto himself, and the Ancestral Dragon instantly turned into a thousand-legged, multi-headed centipede dragon.

Although extremely deformed, it could simultaneously control thousands of spells.

Dozens of heads spewed out breaths mixed with various elements, wind blades, flames, corrosion, frost, ashes, explosions...

The monsters were submerged in spells, and a pit hundreds of meters deep appeared on the ground.

But even so, it still couldn't cause substantial damage, and instead, a huge monster was attracted from the southern side of the Buddhist realm.

Ren Qing raised an eyebrow, the newcomer was similar to the dark monsters, but its size was close to a thousand meters, and its strength was comparable to the late stage of the Heavenly Restriction realm.

He quickly reacted, the Endless Forest was already a ruin.

It seemed that the Heavenly Demon aura had revived the corpse in the Heavenly Restriction realm, truly troublesome, and it might even break through the limits of the Heavenly Restriction realm.

Ren Qing didn't have the leisure to test whether the flames of the corpse's salary could drive away the Heavenly Restriction realm monsters, so he once again used the Heavenly Demon Possession.

He chose to descend near the periphery of the Buddhist realm to the north.

This time, Ren Qing was cautious, only drilling out of the soil after turning into a shadow, and then immediately lighting the corpse salary, burning grayish-white flames.

He hesitated for a few breaths, but still cut off the nerves connecting his eyes.

Ren Qing had seen it, as long as he was within the scope of the Buddhist realm, even the Heavenly Restriction realm had to follow the rules of the Fixed Light Buddha.

He honestly took out a Black Goat Dharma Garment.

However, Ren Qing was not in a hurry to put it on, but instead chose to impose restrictions on the Dharma Garment, so as to avoid the Dharma Garment absorbing too much Heavenly Demon aura and suddenly coming to life.

First, he spread the Aberrant Disease throughout the inside and outside of the Black Goat Dharma Garment, then used Dragon Blood to make the Dharma Garment stained with the characteristics of the Dragon race, and the Heaven and Earth Born Ghost Immortal Profession followed closely behind.

The Yin Qi of the Corpse Fengdu conflicted with the Heavenly Demon aura, but the Heavenly Demon Tribulation did not have similar methods.

Ren Qing could sense that the Black Goat Dharma Garment was twitching beside the bonfire, as if it were a fanatical believer sacrificing to an evil god.

The horns of the Black Goat Dharma Garment turned into slender dragon horns with branches, the Aberrant Disease made the Dharma Garment more malleable, and the smoothly integrated Ghost Immortal Profession revealed an ethereal aura.

The Black Goat Dharma Garment was said to be a magical artifact, but it was actually more like a unique living being.

Ren Qing put the Dharma Garment into his Stomach World and carefully examined it.

The Black Goat Dharma Garment mass-produced by the Forbidden Prison Hall was in the style of a Taoist robe, but the surface was covered with hair, so it was actually difficult to associate it with the Black Goat.

But Ren Qing's Dharma Garment was completely different after three distortions.

If it weren't for an inconspicuous crack in the abdomen of the Dharma Garment, the whole thing would be a Black Goat with dragon horns on its head, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Fortunately, Ren Qing had complete control over the Black Goat Dharma Garment, otherwise how could he wear such a bizarre and inexplicable Dharma Garment.

To be precise, it should be called the Black Goat Skin.

Ren Qing casually took out a piece of Corpse Salary and threw it into the bonfire, then examined the Skin.

When the Black Goat Skin was in the Buddhist realm, it was obviously much more restrained, limp and motionless, and deliberately slowed down the devouring of the Heavenly Demon aura.

With the Immortal Profession, the Skin's intelligence would not be born, but its instincts were already very clever.

Ren Qing opened the crack in the Skin, and then the whole person drilled into it.

The Black Goat Skin perfectly fitted his skin, and countless tentacles connected to Ren Qing's flesh and blood, making the senses shared.

Ren Qing moved his hands and feet beside the bonfire and found that there was no effect at all.

Spells could also be cast freely, and when releasing spells, they would also have the blessing of the Heavenly Demon aura, only the body size could not change drastically.

After all, the Black Goat Skin was not part of Ren Qing's body, if it only soared to about ten meters, it would be fine, but if it was thousands of meters like the Ancestral Dragon, the Skin would be broken immediately.

Ren Qing wore the Skin, and the exposed aura was only at the Martial Man realm, it could be seen that the Black Goat Skin was actually relatively fragile before it grew up.

He planned to cultivate the Black Goat Skin to the Heavenly Restriction realm, so that he could travel freely in the Buddhist realm.

But there was one drawback, when the Black Goat Skin absorbed the Heavenly Demon aura, it would inevitably incorporate the Fixed Light Buddha Qi into the body.

Over time, the Skin would definitely be eroded by the Buddha Qi.

Ren Qing simply used two Dream Flowers to replace the Skin's eyes, the left eye was responsible for absorbing the excess Heavenly Demon aura to assist the Skin's digestion, and the right eye was responsible for absorbing the mixed Fixed Light Buddha Qi.

The image of the Black Goat became even more bizarre, in addition to the dragon horns, there was also a pair of double pupils.

By chance, the bonfire was completely burned out, leaving a handful of ashes in place, and as gusts of wind blew, the ashes scattered.

The surroundings fell into dead silence.

Ren Qing's figure was not obvious in the darkness, and the eyes transformed by the Dream Flowers could also ensure that he could barely see at night.

He looked around and found that some monsters had indeed noticed the bonfire going out.

Footsteps sounded one after another, and a large number of monsters surrounded him, and Ren Qing could see the appearance of the monsters at this time.

The monsters were almost identical to the Black Goat, but still retained traces of pre-mutation.

When they were not stimulated by sound, their behavior was extremely strange, as if they were constantly repeating meaningless actions.

Ren Qing could see from their physical characteristics that they should have been transformed from the Heavenly Dao Worm People, and there were probably millions of them in the Buddhist realm.

"Could it be that the insect nest in the Buddhist realm has completely fallen?"

Ren Qing immediately denied his guess, at the beginning of the Buddhist realm, the number of Black Goats was not large, and their strength could not threaten the Mother.

As long as the Mother drilled into the depths of the ground, she could have ample rest and recuperation.

Groups of Black Goats passed by, and they all ignored Ren Qing, it should be that the Black Goat Skin was too realistic.

Ordinary Black Goat Dharma Garments could at most help cultivators resist the Heavenly Demon aura.

Ren Qing looked at the Black Goat for a moment, then walked towards the direction of Jing Prefecture, preparing to first see the location where the Medicine Pestle Rabbit Immortal disappeared.

While digesting the Heavenly Demon aura, the Skin gradually showed signs of transformation.

It was just that Ren Qing noticed that there was actually a bottleneck between the Martial Man realm and the Half-Corpse realm, and it was not so simple for the Skin to advance.

It may be that the rules of the Buddhist realm were at play.
