The Secret Way of Immortality

After a few rounds of wine, even though the liquor transformed by Zhi Li Shu wasn't intoxicating, Tian Daozi's speech was already slurred with a hint of drunkenness.

Tian Daozi spoke exhaustively about the contents of the Entering Divinity Art, only hoping that Ren Qing wouldn't repeat his mistakes, unaware that the latter's thoughts were even more dangerous, even bordering on audacity.

But there was no choice, after all, the situation was deteriorating, and facing beings above the Earth Immortal realm, Ren Qing had to take some risks to perfect the Entering Divinity Art.

To obtain the means to protect himself in just a few decades, a shortcut was necessary.

After Tian Daozi put down his wine cup, Ren Qing helped him walk towards the statue at the village entrance.

"Huang Qi, even becoming a Celestial Guest doesn't mean one can be carefree…"

Tian Daozi disappeared into the statue, and whether it was Ren Qing's illusion or not, the statue's originally stern expression seemed to relax a little.

"Carefree and at ease, before transcending the Three Dao Ancestors, I don't think anyone can be truly carefree, right?"

Ren Qing looked around, his gaze lingering for a few breaths on a simpleton in the mountain village, then his right hand released a ray of light that landed on the simpleton's brow.

The simpleton was named "Li Mu." He was born with a mental deficiency, but he was a good person who would selflessly help the villagers whenever he had the chance.

Under Tian Daozi's protection, he had lived without parents to his early twenties.

"Ah… Ah… Ha…"

Li Mu seemed to notice Ren Qing, turning his head and smiling foolishly at the village entrance, even kowtowing to the statue a few times, causing the surrounding children to jeer.

If there were no accidents, Tian Daozi should pass the position of Mountain God to him, right?

Merely protecting a village didn't require great strength; as long as one was kind-hearted, they wouldn't make too many mistakes.

Ren Qing nodded towards Li Mu, but his consciousness didn't rush back to his main body.

Following the method he used to nurture the Flesh Body Buddha back then, he first used the Boxed Dragon Roar to transform the fungal soul into the shape of a book.

The paper was like human skin, and the book cover was like white bone.

Then, Shi Fengdu performed a simple zombification, and finally, it was invested with a Celestial Position, making the book seem about to be reborn as a creature of flesh and blood.

Ren Qing filled the book with stories of gods and ghosts, a total of twenty-eight volumes, and sent them to storytellers in various towns.

After completing all of this, Ren Qing didn't hesitate to leave the world within his stomach.

Coming from the tranquil paradise to the silent Dark Buddhist Realm, even Ren Qing felt a slight discomfort, no wonder Tian Daozi had hesitated about reincarnation before.

Ren Qing, draped in the Black Goat Skin, wandered aimlessly in the darkness.

His mind began to perfect the Entering Divinity Art, performing a large amount of analysis, constantly deleting content, and then using the information stream to check it.

Ren Qing discovered that the difficulty of cultivating the Beast Pen Method was far lower than the Prison Warden Method, so removing the drawbacks of the Entering Divinity Art shouldn't be a problem.

The aura of the Heavenly Devil, to be precise, didn't originate from the Supreme Heavenly Devil, but from the Moral Heavenly Lord, which left a lot of room for manipulation.

It always felt like the Supreme Heavenly Devil was a Thief of the Dao, taking the Heavenly Devil aura for himself while the Moral Heavenly Lord was unable to descend into the present world.

For the Moral Heavenly Lord, it was hard to say whether the Supreme Heavenly Devil was of the same kind or not.

The Entering Divinity Art was indeed as Ren Qing had expected, a "summoning technique" that guided the aura of the Heavenly Devil through visualization to assimilate oneself.

Simply put, it was borrowing the power of the Supreme Heavenly Devil by having one's body and soul approach him.

Of course, while borrowing, you would become a part of the Supreme Heavenly Devil.

Ren Qing's understanding of the Entering Divinity Art became more and more thorough, and his expression became strange.

Ren Qing calmed his mind and closed his eyes to continue perfecting the technique. Anyway, he had the protection of the skin, plus the Heavenly Devil Tribulation. As long as he didn't go deep into the Buddhist Realm, this place was even safer than the outside world.

He was like a wandering ghost in the Buddhist Realm, and with the help of thousands of fungal souls, he finally gained something after spending more than half a month.

[Entering Divinity Art]

[The Entering Divinity Art was created by Ren Qing. It requires holding a medium under the tongue and visualizing the immortal god at the end of the medium, so that the body can be transformed before it can be cultivated.]

Ren Qing wanted to forcibly master it with the information stream, but after all, it wasn't him who was cultivating it; it was the skin that was going to master the Entering Divinity Art.

The original Beast Pen Method was to directly devour the remains of the Heavenly Devil, so that the physique gradually approached the Supreme Heavenly Devil, taking oneself as a medium, and then offering part of one's soul to the Supreme Heavenly Devil.

The medium was equivalent to spiritual roots and spiritual body.

The steps of cultivating the Entering Divinity Art were no longer the same, but the core was still to borrow the aura of the visualization target to nourish oneself, so that the skin could break through the existing bottleneck and accommodate more Heavenly Devil aura.

The target of the Beast Pen Method's visualization seemed to be the Gui Jin Goat, but in fact it was the Supreme Heavenly Devil, just to reduce the cultivator's vigilance.

After Ren Qing perfected the Entering Divinity Art, he could change the target of visualization.

But the prerequisite was that the target of visualization must be like the Supreme Heavenly Devil, composed of different kinds of aura, otherwise it would be difficult to get started.

The first thing Ren Qing thought of was the Flesh Body Buddha.

The Flesh Body Buddha did have a body, but its essence was the Buddhist aura absorbed by the Celestial Position, which was very close to the Fruit Position Buddha of Buddhism.

He even suspected that the Fruit Position Buddha could also become a target of visualization.

Buddhas and Supreme Heavenly Devils were extremely similar. Buddhas were "I am all beings," while Supreme Heavenly Devils were "All beings are me."

Before reaching the Tathagata Fruit Position, Fruit Position Buddhas, like the Supreme Heavenly Devil, were composed of aura. Only the Tathagata Fruit Position had a physical body.

In addition to using the Flesh Body Buddha to replace the Supreme Heavenly Devil, there were more extreme methods, but for the time being, he would explore them little by little.

Ren Qing used the Heavenly Devil Seizing, and for the sake of safety, came to the periphery of the Buddhist Realm.

Ren Qing found an underground cave to prevent the Black Goat from harassing him during his seclusion, so he could practice the Entering Divinity Art with peace of mind.

He directly took off the skin and controlled it from a hundred meters away.

Ren Qing influenced the skin by using Zhi Li Shu, and the latter had barely developed intelligence and could respond to some simple instructions.

Time was of the essence. If the skin was damaged because of this, he would re-refine it as soon as possible.

The skin lay awkwardly in the cave, like a real Black Goat, and its mouth and nose were constantly breathing.

Ren Qing dug a piece of minced meat the size of a fingernail from the surface of the Flesh Body Buddha, and then signaled the skin to hold it in its mouth. The scorching Buddhist aura made the skin grimace.

The minced meat of the Flesh Body Buddha was white in color, and the material was jade-like.

However, as soon as the minced meat left the body of the Flesh Body Buddha, it turned into a miniature Arhat head, and its eyes were still blinking instinctively.

Ren Qing was a little headache. It was no easier to get the Flesh Body Buddha to practice according to the content of the technique than it was for mortals to cultivate the Earth Immortal Ascension Method.

But he didn't have a better way, so he could only try again and again.

The so-called visualization is actually to construct the image of the Flesh Body Buddha in the mind. The more complete it is, the better the effect of visualization will be.

The flesh and blood of the Flesh Body Buddha served as a medium, directly stealing Buddhist aura to nourish the body.

Most of the Prison Warden Method also involves operating the Zhou Tian in coordination with visualization, but the Prison Warden Method focuses on operating the Zhou Tian, while the Beast Pen Method focuses on visualization.

While Ren Qing was busy with the Entering Divinity Art, the outside world was also turbulent.

It was obvious that all the major forces had joined the hunt for the Beast Pen, and they may have vaguely felt that disaster was about to come.

Their excavation of the Celestial Positions had never stopped, and two new Celestial Positions had been revealed.

They were "Five Roads Wealth God" and "Water Virtue True Monarch", but neither of them had been confirmed, and the Prison Warden Hall had sent monks to track them down.

With the saying of Two Immortals of Guizhuo, the Heavenly Guizhuo Realm's interest in the Celestial Positions naturally increased.

Now, the only thing missing was someone who dared to take the risk and eat crabs. As long as one monk refined the Celestial Position, in fact, all the monks would be crazy about it.

The Heavenly Court's Ascension Method was also intentionally or unintentionally spread out.

Nameless must have known the Matchmaker Immortal's Ascension Method, but he had been unmoved, probably guessing that there were forces planning behind it.

After the games of all parties, the situation unexpectedly fell into a long-lost calm.

All the monks were watching, including those old monsters who didn't know how many years they had lived, and they might seize the opportunity to move at any time.

Ren Qing, who was half the instigator, was still diligently practicing the Entering Divinity Art.

"It's done…"

Ren Qing looked at the motionless skin and couldn't help but spit out the suppressed breath, and then the dozen or so pairs of compound eyes on his forehead opened, barely seeing in the darkness.

A trace of Buddhist aura acted on the skin.

The Buddhist aura of the Flesh Body Buddha was called Lingshan Buddhist aura by Ren Qing, which was very special. Regardless of whether the Flesh Body Buddha was digesting karma fire or not, the Buddhist aura contained a trace of karma fire.

Ordinary Buddhist aura was bronze in color, but only the Lingshan Buddhist aura was golden yellow, and its shape was like a burning flame.

Because of the Entering Divinity Art, the flesh and blood medium in the skin's mouth emitted Lingshan Buddhist aura, which domineeringly nourished the skin, prompting the skin to cross the Martial Man Realm.

Ren Qing could feel that the skin's bottleneck was becoming precarious, and then the surrounding Heavenly Devil aura poured into the skin frantically.

His face suddenly changed slightly, and when the proportion of Heavenly Devil aura increased, a trace of riot appeared in the Lingshan Buddhist aura.

"Something's wrong…"

Ren Qing's pupils dilated. The riot should be the karma fire mixed in the Lingshan Buddhist aura, which had the same meaning as fire and water with the Heavenly Devil aura.

He quickly stopped the operation of the Entering Divinity Art.

The skin was already burning with karma fire at this time, and the appearance was also riddled with holes. If it weren't for the blessing of the Celestial Position, it would have been destroyed long ago.

Ren Qing shook his head helplessly. He was about to succeed, but in the end, he fell short.

At least it made him understand the twists and turns of the Entering Divinity Art. Since the Flesh Body Buddha could not be used as a visualization target, he could change one.

Ren Qing's consciousness came to the world in his stomach again.

Half a month ago, he invested a total of twenty-eight fungal souls to make books, and the stories recorded in them corresponded to the twenty-eight constellations, which had been sung by storytellers for several months.

Ren Qing wanted to use the method of refining the Flesh Body Buddha to mass-produce pseudo-immortal gods.

Of course, the Flesh Body Buddha had some kind of special nature. The birth was mainly due to the death of the Tathagata Ancient Buddha in this world. The mass-produced pseudo-gods could not be used to transfer karma fire.

Horn Wood Flood Dragon, Neck Gold Dragon, Bottom Earth Badger, Room Sun Rabbit, Heart Moon Fox, Tail Fire Tiger, Winnowing Basket Water Leopard.

Dipper Wood Xie, Ox Gold Ox, Woman Earth Bat, Void Sun Rat, Danger Moon Swallow, Room Fire Pig, Wall Water.

Legs Wood Wolf, Bond Gold Dog, Stomach Earth Pheasant, Bristle Sun Chicken, Net Moon Crow, Turtle Beak Fire Monkey, Three Stars Water Ape.

Well Wood Wildcat, Ghost Gold Goat, Willow Earth Deer, Star Sun Horse, Zhang Moon Deer, Wing Fire Snake, Chariot Water Earthworm.

Of course, some of the Celestial Positions in this world also involve twenty-eight constellations, and I don't know if there is any connection between them.

The stories of the twenty-eight constellations have unknowingly penetrated people's hearts.

Under the dark interference of the Heavenly Dao, the mortal world in the stomach world built temples of twenty-eight constellations, and the incense was not bad.

Ren Qing directly integrated the books into the statues of the temples, accepted the worship of believers, and saw if he could form something like the Flesh Body Buddha.

He had a little bit of confidence in this.

In addition to the Flesh Body Buddha, Ren Qing also used fabricated Buddhist scriptures to try to breed pseudo-Buddhas, and the results were indeed fruitful.

It's just that the formed pseudo-Buddha was completely a monster pieced together with malformed flesh and blood, far from reaching the level of the Flesh Body Buddha.

Ren Qing didn't delve into it at the time, so he extracted the Celestial Position from the Buddhist scriptures.

His requirements for the twenty-eight constellations were not high, as long as they could reach the level of containers.

If it can really succeed, monks can completely use the twenty-eight constellations to refine the body. Even if they can't break through the existing bottleneck, at least they can increase the strength and foundation of the physique.

In a sense, the twenty-eight constellations are also a kind of pseudo-Celestial Position.

After Ren Qing's Heaven and Earth Life will be promoted to Earth Immortal, he has the quota of Heaven Immortal Position, and then integrates the Heaven Immortal Position into the twenty-eight constellations. Maybe he can really create another kind of "Celestial Position"?

However, if monks rely on the Celestial Position of the world in the stomach to become immortals and attain the Tao, they should be different from Zhuo Gui Two Immortals. I don't know what they are.

He patiently waited in the cave. Half a year later, the twenty-eight constellations integrated into the statues finally began to gradually undergo transformation.

The incense faith that believers worshiped invisibly was absorbed by the twenty-eight constellations, and the body gradually transformed from a book shape into a human shape, which was similar to the appearance of the statue.

The process made Ren Qing shudder, watching the books gradually grow facial features, forming organs similar to the brain, and finally limbs.

Even if the Flesh Body Buddha is in the Heavenly Gui Realm, he has no intelligence at all. The twenty-eight constellations seem to be the same, and even the instinct is very weak.

There is a wisp of aura in their bodies that looks like smoke and dust, which should be condensed from incense.

At first glance, the incense aura is colorless and formless, and it seems extremely pure, but in fact it is just the opposite.

The incense aura contains a massive amount of disordered thoughts of believers, which is the same as the nature of Buddhist aura. Of course, the latter is composed of countless souls.

[Flesh Incense Immortal]

[Condensed by Ren Qing, can absorb incense to promote and accommodate the power of all beings.]

Ren Qing glanced at the skin that had recovered most of it, and then controlled the skin to communicate with the ghost gold goat of the twenty-eight constellations. The medium was just a handful of ashes from the incense burner.

The skin suddenly received the incense aura of the ghost gold goat, and the whole body crackled.

The Heavenly Devil aura really did not react to the incense aura, and let the Entering Divinity Art nourish the skin. The bottleneck of the Martial Man Realm was broken in response.

The skin's body grew taller and taller the moment it stepped into the Half-Corpse Realm.

It soared from about 1.6 meters to more than 2 meters, and the dragon horns on the top of the head became more exaggerated, reaching a full half a meter.

The skin stood in the darkness, and the compound eyes exuded a heart-wrenching chill.

The Entering Divinity Art made the toughness of the skin directly chase the ghost messenger realm, and the Heavenly Devil aura released from the pores was like tentacles.

The ghost gold goat constellation in the world in the stomach, because the skin extracted too much incense aura, was already in a semi-collapsed state.

It was about to be beaten back into a book, but fortunately there were believers constantly providing incense.

There is also a drawback in connecting to the constellation to practice, that is, it will assimilate the practitioners. Mortals may already be the appearance of the constellation when they reach the Yin Messenger Realm.

Ren Qing chose the ghost gold goat because the images of the two are similar.

The Beast Pen Method is also the same, but Ren Qing's constellation has no intelligence, so it won't be like the Supreme Heavenly Devil with the goal of assimilating all beings.

Ren Qing's mind stirred slightly, and he began to spread the faith of the Heavenly Court's deities within his stomach world. Even if he couldn't nurture incarnate incense deities for the time being, he would first increase the number of believers.

Once the incarnate incense deities took shape, relying on the scale of believers, they could quickly reach the Yin Messenger realm, or even the Yang God realm.

After he put on the skin again, he indeed felt that the pressure from the Buddhist realm had weakened a lot, and he should be able to continue deeper into Jing Province.

Just as Ren Qing was about to turn into a shadow and leave the underground, he suddenly realized something.

He couldn't help but look at his hands. Dense Heavenly Demon aura enveloped his flesh and blood, and then he turned into a phantom and disappeared on the spot.

Ren Qing came to another perspective, and the skin seemed to become a part of the Buddhist realm.

Without using the Heavenly Demon Possession at all, he rampaged at a speed invisible to the naked eye, without any volume collision with the grass, trees, mountains, and rocks.

Ren Qing had a happy expression. The half-corpse realm skin awakened the ability of semi-virtualization, and exploring the Buddhist realm naturally became more comfortable.

He didn't have to worry about being besieged by the Black Mountain Goat, after all, the skin was recognized by the Buddhist realm as a "kindred".

After Ren Qing arrived ten thousand miles into the Buddhist realm, he could no longer see any cultivators.

However, he noticed that there were obvious traces of insects crawling on the ground, indicating that the Broodmother was still active in the Buddhist realm.

Come to think of it, the Broodmother, as an existence close to the Earth Immortal of Blessed Virtue, was far from being comparable to ordinary Heavenly Gu realm beings.

Among them, one Broodmother was Wu Ming's internal agent, and another Broodmother was a believer of Maitreya Buddha.

The composition of the Brood was conceivable. It was not surprising that they could survive in the Buddhist realm, and they might even be approaching the heavily injured Earth Immortal of Blessed Virtue.

Ren Qing unscrupulously followed the traces to find the Brood cultivators.

Unfortunately, after continuing for a hundred miles, the skin reached its limit again, and he had to slowly nourish it with the incense energy of the Ghost Gold Goat. At most, it would take a month or so to advance to the Ghost Envoy realm.

The Twenty-Eight Constellation temples had already taken root in the stomach world.

But compared to the clearly defined duties of the immortals and gods, such as the Kitchen God, the Rain God... the Twenty-Eight Constellations didn't have very good connotations.

Ren Qing then followed the ancient saying of his previous life and divided each month into twenty-eight days, with one constellation on duty each day, cycling endlessly.

As a result, the incense of the Twenty-Eight Constellations did become more prosperous.

Ren Qing realized that there was no need to build temples to develop the faith of immortals and gods. As long as customs were combined with the immortals and gods, incense could be obtained naturally.

Wasn't the Door God just a picture pasted on the door, seen when entering and exiting the house?

Under Ren Qing's influence, the mortal realm in the stomach world became more and more like ancient times in his previous life, except that the races all over the place were strange and varied.

The skin took the opportunity to advance to the Ghost Envoy realm, and its abilities were further strengthened.

Now, entering the semi-virtualized state, Ren Qing could easily do so silently, hardly making any noise.

Ren Qing continued to Jing Province while planning the immortal and god beliefs in his stomach world.

There were more and more traces left by the Brood, and it seemed that a battle had taken place not long ago. Corpses of Heavenly Dao Insectoids could still be seen.

Ren Qing initially thought it was a battle between the Brood and the Black Mountain Goat.

But he soon noticed the strangeness. It was actually a four-way melee. The Broodmothers did not know why they were operating independently, which led to infighting.

The Heavenly Dao Insectoids led by the four Broodmothers showed different degrees of mutation.

The Heavenly Dao Insectoids under the Blood Bat Broodmother and the Earthworm Snake Broodmother were the most normal, but their bodies had a certain degree of Heavenly Demonization, covered in black hair, or with hooves like goats.

They seemed to be using Heavenly Demonization to avoid the attacks of the Black Mountain Goat.

The corpses of the Heavenly Dao Insectoids of the Black Crow Broodmother were mostly rotten. Ren Qing learned after checking that they were zombie bodies before they were alive.

The zombie bodies were also transplanted with the flesh and blood of the Black Mountain Goat, but it was rather strange.

The Black Crow Broodmother was controlled by Wu Ming, indicating that Wu Ming's patience was not as good as imagined.

The scales on the outside of the Heavenly Dao Insectoids of the Scaled Armor Broodmother seemed normal, but their flesh, blood, and bones were turned into bronze metal materials.

Faced with the harsh environment of the Buddhist realm, the Buddhist traitor Scaled Armor Broodmother and the Corpse Immortal traitor Black Crow Broodmother defected at the same time, and the Brood had fallen apart.

Just as Ren Qing was about to leave the battlefield, the corpse of the Black Crow Heavenly Dao Insectoid opened its eyes and stared at Ren Qing with inexplicable eyes.

A hundred or so corpses stood up and asked, "Who are you?"

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect to contact Wu Ming for the first time in the Buddhist realm. What was the harvest of the other party's plan to use the Broodmother as a trump card?

"Wu Ming, long time no see."

The corpse fell into a long silence, and the nearby Black Mountain Goats had already arrived.

[It's too busy near the New Year. It's hard to take a day off, and I have to go to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods]
