The Secret Way of Immortality

The Buddhist layer sealing Taiyin Star Lord kept expanding.

As immortal positions were continuously invested, the rules of the restricted area also kept changing, increasing the demand for the Buddhist layer sealing. The Prison Warden Hall was spending a great deal of manpower to provide Buddha bones and Buddha energy.

The volume of the Buddhist layer sealing had already exceeded ten thousand meters, giving Ren Qing the illusion that the balloon would burst at any moment, making him feel a little horrified.

From time to time, Ren Qing would also transform into a Nurgle Plague Dream, using endless fungal souls to collect Buddha energy, to ensure that the Buddhist layer sealing would not break.

The vast Buddha energy emanating from the cave had faintly touched the level of a terrestrial immortal.

However, it was suppressed by the endless demonic aura of the Buddhist realm, so it did not seem so obvious and was not exposed to the eyes of various forces.

Ren Qing simply put his energy into meditation, only hoping that he could advance to the perfect Heavenly Tribulation realm of the Toe Separation Technique before something happened to the Beast Pen.

The task of thickening the Buddhist layer sealing was handed over to the Ghost Shadow, and there was no need to deliberately transform into the Spiritual Light Tathagata.

As soon as the Buddha bone powder approached the bottom of the cave, the Buddhist layer sealing would actively absorb the Buddha bone powder, and the Light Fixing Buddha energy was the same.

However, because the content of Light Fixing Buddha energy in the periphery of the Buddhist realm was becoming less and less, Ren Qing mostly used the Mount Meru Buddha energy to strengthen the sealing.

Theoretically speaking, the Mount Meru Buddha energy was condensed from a mixture of various Buddha energies, and it also had countless connections with the Light Fixing Buddha.

Ren Qing was immersed in cultivation, but the world in his stomach was not idle, because a large number of cultivators needed to break through their realms, making the training rooms overcrowded, and magical artifacts and elixirs had to be rushed out.

Reaching the perfect Heavenly Tribulation realm of the Heaven and Earth Life had little impact on the world in his stomach.

However, when low-level cultivators broke through their realms, they would indeed receive the help of the Heavenly Dao, at least greatly reducing the chance of cultivation deviation.

Many people had already entered closed-door cultivation, seeking a glimmer of hope to break through the Heavenly Tribulation realm.

The physical Tathagata in the Western Buddhist realm had already begun to devour the Buddha energy of the Eighteen Arhats, and various Buddha statues appeared on the surface of Mount Meru.

It must be said that Ren Qing's theft of Buddha energy in the Beast Pen was relatively smooth.

The Buddhas formed an encirclement, gradually compressing the demonic aura of the Beast Pen with Buddha energy, and Buddha energy leaked out at all times.

There was no need to move the position of the Dream Flower, just stay underground to absorb it.

After the Dream Flower was almost saturated, it returned to the world in his stomach through the Dream City, and smoothly landed in Ren Qing's hands.

Even without the Tathagata status, the number of Arhats was already eighteen, and the rumored Eighteen Arhats had reached the periphery of the Beast Pen.

The Buddhist sect was definitely going to get serious, it just depended on whether the target was the Light Fixing Buddha or the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

Ren Qing only provided Arhat Buddha energy to the physical Tathagata. He would have to wait until he advanced to the terrestrial immortal before considering the Bodhisattva status Buddha energy, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the immortal physical Tathagata.

The growth of the physical Tathagata made the healing of the Heavenly Dao crack faster.

It was conceivable that after the physical Tathagata reached the level of a terrestrial immortal, the speed of digesting karmic fire would probably have to increase by more than 50%.

As long as he passed the tribulation of becoming an immortal, Ren Qing's immortal path would be a broad avenue.

In the silent darkness, time passed silently.

If it weren't for the occasional earthquake from the Beast Pen, Ren Qing's closed-door cultivation might have lasted for more than ten years, it could be said that there were no years in the mountains.

Only a few days had passed since Ren Qing's last statue, but he suddenly opened his eyes again, and his breathing became heavy.

His body disappeared in place. When he reappeared, he had a ball of flesh and blood in his hand, which contained an ownerless immortal position.

【Immortal Position: Herculean Ghost King】

"Herculean Ghost King?"

Ren Qing looked at the distorted human faces on the surface of the flesh ball. The Yin energy was overwhelming, and it should be the same source as the Soul-Reaping Ghost Immortal's immortal position.

Of course, the immortal positions belonging to the underworld could not escape the suppression of the Fengdu Ghost Immortal.

The Herculean Ghost King was a bit like the Herculean Ghost King among the immortal gods of the Heavenly Court in his previous life. As the only ghost among the immortal gods, Ren Qing was quite impressed.

There was also a saying that the Herculean Ghost King ruled the ghost path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

However, the two could not be confused, after all, the immortal god system had obvious differences, and even the Heavenly Court was fabricated by Ren Qing.

As for the origin of the Herculean Ghost King, it was actually found by the Elephant Lord from the far north.

The Herculean Ghost King was very suitable for the undead, but the Elephant Lord's core technique was strength, and it still had a certain degree of compatibility.

However, the Elephant Lord gave it to the White Bone Lady.

Ren Qing did not refuse the Elephant Lord's request.

Whether the Elephant Lord obtained the Entering God Technique, or the White Bone Lady obtained it, it made little difference to Ren Qing, and even the latter was easier to control.

With a slight thought, Ren Qing opened the door of the prison in the underworld where the White Bone Lady was imprisoned, and rich Yin energy poured in from the outside.

The White Bone Lady's consciousness was still in the Heavenly Court. After noticing the abnormality in the underworld, she immediately woke up and belatedly walked out of the cage.

A celestial technique called Entering God Technique appeared in her mind.

The White Bone Lady immediately understood that the underworld where she was imprisoned probably belonged to the Heavenly Court, and now it was a commutation of her sentence.

After hesitating again and again, she returned to the prison and painstakingly cultivated the Entering God Technique.

Ren Qing ignored the White Bone Lady. The other party was still restricted to the third level of the underworld, but the Yin energy was enough to restore her Heavenly Tribulation realm cultivation.

He threw the flesh ball in his hand, and the immortal position of the Herculean Ghost King turned into a phantom.

The immortal position merged into the human immortal position, and under the effect of the Toe Separation Technique, it fell into the scope of the Taiyin Star Lord, and the small world was turned upside down.

The immortal positions controlled by Ren Qing were successively invested in the Buddhist layer sealing.

In addition to the immortal positions found by various forces, there were already nine immortal positions constructing the restricted area.

They were 【Taiyin Star Lord】, 【Good Fortune Terrestrial Immortal】, 【Elixir-Pounding Rabbit Immortal】, 【Fire Virtue Star Lord】, 【Old Man Under the Moon】, 【Wind God Boqiang】, 【Silkworm Mother Insect Immortal】, 【Heart Fire Star宿】, 【Herculean Ghost King】.

The frequency of the birth of immortal positions should decrease next. Relying on mortal forces alone, it would be good to find one immortal position in thousands of years.

Ren Qing did not know what the situation of the immortal position restricted area was like.

The ghost shadows that had previously remained in the Taiyin Star Lord had long since disintegrated due to the disasters caused by the immortal positions, and now there were only some germs.

Ren Qing was just about to continue his closed-door cultivation, but another force found an immortal position.

The immortal position was the widely rumored "Well Sea Water God" before. Countless forces were vying for the immortal position, and finally a small force muddled through.

The Well Sea Water God was attached to a blue brick at the bottom of the well. It looked ordinary, but in fact it hid an unimaginable immortal position.

The cultivation of the leader of the small force was only in the middle stage of the Yang God realm, and his aptitude and techniques were not very good. It was completely luck.

Ren Qing followed the familiar process to pull the other party into the Dream City, taught the Entering God Technique, and then returned with the immortal position of the Well Sea Water God.

Several times he appeared in the outside world, Ren Qing did not only transform into the Zhenyuan Earth Ancestor.

He would still use the guise of the North Star Lord to transform into the Toe Separation Dream Immortal, to increase the impression of the Heavenly Court's strength on the cultivators.

The Herculean Ghost King had just merged into the immortal position restricted area, so naturally he had to wait for the changes in the rules to be completed.

After patiently waiting for half a month, the tenth immortal position was thrown towards the Taiyin Star Lord, and successfully became a part of the restricted area.

He could vaguely feel that after the number of immortal positions constructing the restricted area reached ten, the rules of the restricted area were likely to have undergone a qualitative change.

As expected, the Buddhist layer sealing became more stable, and it was difficult for even a terrestrial immortal to shake it.

What surprised Ren Qing the most was that the Buddhist layer sealing actually began to grow on its own, and the hard bone on the outer layer continued to grow with time.

The Buddhist layer sealing also actively absorbed the Light Fixing Buddha energy from the outside world.

This could save Ren Qing energy. It just so happened that the Prison Warden Hall was about to evacuate. Who knew when the Beast Pen would explode.

After Ren Qing gave an order, the group of Prison Warden Hall cultivators wearing black goatskins did not hesitate to use the immortal key to go to the world in his stomach.

The number of external tasks also became less and less.

It was already difficult to see the figures of the Heavenly Court cultivators in the outside world, but rumors were fermenting, and it had reached the point where people changed color at the mention of immortal positions.

Half a year after excavating the Well Sea Water God, a craze for finding immortal positions suddenly emerged.

Mainly because the cultivation of the first Angran Layman to obtain the immortal position inheritance had also skyrocketed to the later stage of the Yang God realm.

What was surprising was that Angran Layman, as a pure Northwesterner, had become a half-human, half-demon woman due to the Heart Fire Star宿.

A Heavenly Tribulation realm cultivator wanted to explore the secret of the immortal position inheritance, so he tried to attack Angran Layman.

Even if the Heavenly Tribulation realm cultivator did not go all out for the sake of the Heavenly Court's face, he was still not comparable to the Yang God realm.

But the result was unexpected. He was actually blocked by Angran Layman, who had transformed into a nine-tailed fox.

The Entering God Technique used the power of incense to nourish the body and soul, and could also temporarily borrow the power of incense to exert far more than ordinary strength through the invocation of gods.

The various forces were in an uproar. Who dared to question that the Heavenly Court's inheritance could not become immortals and attain the Dao?

Wasn't the Angran Layman's change transforming towards an immortal body?

Which of those cultivators who had lived for thousands of years would care about gender? If giving up their bodies could become immortals and attain the Dao, they would immediately do so.

Since the Heavenly Court's inheritance could continue the immortal path and would not be accompanied by the possibility of Heavenly Daoization, how could it not drive the Heavenly Tribulation realm cultivators crazy?

On the contrary, Nameless had not made any movements recently.

Ren Qing tried to figure out Nameless's plan, but Nameless seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving only the Black Crow Matriarch still accumulating the blood pool.

Ren Qing did not continue to waste time. It did not matter what Nameless wanted to do. The key was to go to the immortal position restricted area as soon as possible to become an immortal and attain the Dao.

The general trend of conferring immortals had already risen, and even true immortals and Buddhas could not stop it.

Boom boom boom...

The ground shook again. Ren Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at the Beast Pen. It was a familiar aura. The Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva had set off.

The meaning represented by the Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva was completely different. He was likely the reincarnation of the deceased Maitreya Ancient Buddha, or rather, a retread of his cultivation.

The taste of the storm was getting stronger and stronger.

The Light Fixing Buddha was involved with the Dipankara Ancient Buddha. The Buddhist sect was really a pot of stew, and no one could sort out the causal relationships inside.

Ren Qing glanced at the hexagram of the tortoise shell. It was already a great misfortune, and was developing towards a death omen.

The great misfortune omen was not because of the Buddhist realm, but because of the Beast Pen. True immortals could destroy tens of thousands of miles, let alone those above terrestrial immortals.

Ren Qing estimated the speed of deterioration of the hexagram. There should still be a vacuum period of five years.

But for the sake of insurance...

"Wait two more years. No matter what happens after two years, I have to go to the immortal position restricted area to become an immortal and attain the Dao while avoiding disasters."

Ren Qing muttered to himself, then closed his eyes and continued to meditate on the technique.

Under the monstrous Buddha energy released by the many Buddhas, the Beast Pen was compressed by one-third, turning into a crystal clear pure land of lapis lazuli.

The black goatskins piously knelt down and chanted scriptures, looking like they had laid down their butcher knives.

The picture was really absurd.

The black goatskins wore strange smiles on their faces, but did the work of ascetic monks. The demonic aura all over their bodies had long been worn away by the Buddha energy.

The Buddhist sect was so provocative, but there was still no movement in the Beast Pen.

Either the Light Fixing Buddha was diverting most of the Supreme Heavenly Demon's energy, or the Supreme Heavenly Demon was planning to lure the Buddhist sect to take the initiative?

In an extremely suppressed atmosphere, this world fell into madness.

Some forces were looking for immortal positions, some forces chose to stay away from the Beast Pen, and some forces sealed off the mountains and did not ask about the world, an image before the arrival of the apocalypse.

The countdown set by Ren Qing was also constantly approaching the two-year deadline.

Except for the black market of loose cultivators, it was almost difficult to see the figures of cultivators, and even some towns were deserted.

How could mortals resist the disasters brought by immortals and Buddhas?

The Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva, the Light Fixing Buddha, and the Supreme Heavenly Demon were all existences that could be involved in the Three Dao Ancestors and the Three Worlds Buddhas. Ren Qing would not be surprised even if this world was destroyed.

Ren Qing decided to immediately start the second step of conferring immortals.

He transformed into an immortal body, and this time he superimposed two immortal bodies together, and his body and soul suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.

He was still mainly the Zhenyuan Earth Immortal, but his skin was covered with colorful and mysterious patterns, his left eye was deep and vast, as if it contained a world, and his right eye was dark with twinkling stars.

The Dharma, Heaven, and Earth was used on the entire physical Tathagata.

Behind Ren Qing, a statue emerged, densely covered with the faces of Buddhas, causing his aura to reach its peak.

His right eye flickered.

"In the name of the Heavenly Court, I shall restart the Investiture of the Gods!!!"
