The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing, along with thousands of other cultivators, entered the Immortal Position Forbidden Zone. Because the Buddhist layer of sealing contained a massive amount of Spiritual Mountain Buddhist Qi, it didn't hinder him at all.

No one knows the rules governing the formation of the small world within the Immortal Position Forbidden Zone, but one thing is certain: it's completely isolated from the outside world.

Ren Qing's consciousness plunged into darkness, as if sinking into a quagmire from which he couldn't escape.

He could feel his body drifting in the mire, and of his five spells, only the Heaven and Earth Creation and the Toe Separation Technique were usable.

Ren Qing tried to open his eyes, but found himself completely unable to move.

He released a bacterial soul to check the situation, but the bacterial soul quickly fell into the same predicament, indicating that the rules of the forbidden zone had a coercive influence.

The hexagrams on the surface of the tortoise shell didn't show any signs of impending death, consistently remaining at 'ominous,' but a shallow sort of ominous.

Ren Qing immediately felt relieved and silently meditated on his spells to regain control of his body.

His current situation was somewhat similar to his first visit to the Longevity Forbidden Zone, his body seemingly trapped in a narrow passage, or floating up and down in a viscous liquid.

But at least he could be sure of one thing: Ren Qing wouldn't encounter danger for the time being.

Ren Qing was ready to transform into an immortal body at any time, using his dual immortal bodies plus the Buddha body to leave the Immortal Position Forbidden Zone directly through a dream.

A moment later, the Fleshly Body Tathagata reached the limit Ren Qing could bear. Because there was no Buddha body to enhance it, the power of the Toe Separation Technique receded like the tide, and the immortal body became unstable.

The cultivators in the Niwan Palace were on pins and needles, and the diseased tree became increasingly illusory.

They felt an invisible force repelling them, and then bizarre scenes appeared on the edge of the Niwan Palace.

Distorted faces emerged, their appearances neither alive nor dead.

Among them were the Fire Virtue Star Lord, the Wind God Boqiang, the Lunar Star Lord, the Heart Fire Star Constellation, the Giant Strength Ghost King, the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit Immortal…

The immortals and gods looked at them with resentment, the killing intent in their eyes constantly accumulating.

The cultivators simultaneously noticed that they were gradually getting closer to the faces of the immortals and gods, and a chilling fear arose in their hearts.

At this point, they began to regret why they had come to participate in the Investiture of the Gods.

Perhaps if they had hidden themselves, they wouldn't have been affected by the battle in the beast pen. If they could have survived for a century, everything would have returned to its original order.

No, the Buddhist sect would inevitably and unintentionally eliminate some forces.

That would free up enough resources. If the cultivators made full use of the opportunity, the small Yang God Realm forces could definitely stand out after development, producing several more Heavenly Gu Realm cultivators.

Advancing to the Heavenly Gu Realm is already good, why be so greedy…

What Investiture of the Gods? Who knows if the Heavenly Court has ulterior motives. Perhaps no one will be spared by then.

One cultivator slapped himself hard, regretting his initial decision, as if staying outside would really allow him to advance to the Heavenly Gu Realm.

And the Buddhist sect seemed harmless, able to hide with rudimentary formations.

Madam White Bone and the other cultivators who had received inheritances had a different feeling.

They could vaguely sense that a thought was summoning them, which should be from the immortal position of the corresponding immortal god.

Only by completely refining the immortal position could they embark on the path to becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao.

They exchanged subtle glances, immediately understanding that what Ren Qing said was true, and obtaining the inheritance of the immortal position in advance could indeed increase their chances.

Besides, what could these self-pitying wastes use to compete with them for the immortal position?

Madam White Bone and the Elephant Master moved closer together again, tacitly standing in the corner of the crowd, observing all beings with indifferent eyes.

The Elephant Master planned to help Madam White Bone obtain the immortal position of the Giant Strength Ghost King first.

Madam White Bone would return the favor by helping the Elephant Master find a suitable immortal position. They had laid the foundation for a win-win situation after thousands of years of acquaintance.

The Elephant Master softly reminded, "White Bone, don't forget that the Heavenly Court will interfere. The actual number of cultivators may be far more than a thousand."

Madam White Bone's heart skipped a beat. The Heavenly Court was still a mystery. They would definitely come out in full force for the Investiture of the Gods. It was uncertain who would win.

"I understand, be careful," Madam White Bone replied. She suddenly realized that everyone present, including the Heavenly Court cultivators, were actually competitors.

She couldn't help but be wary of the Elephant Master, fearing that the latter would suddenly snatch the immortal position.

The Elephant Master didn't detect the coldness in Madam White Bone's words and was still diligently observing the surrounding cultivators.

Xiao Yan was the purest among the inheritance cultivators.

His eyes were fixed on the phantom of the Fire Virtue Star Lord, the expectations of Burning Earth Ridge weighing heavily on his shoulders.

While the cultivators were in a trance, the light and shadows suddenly twisted and rotated.

They were expelled from the Niwan Palace, and then encountered the same situation as Ren Qing, as if trapped in an indescribable quagmire.

Ren Qing didn't know how much time had passed until his internal organs developed sensation, especially his lungs, which were faintly stinging.

He couldn't help but be surprised. It had been a long time since he had experienced suffocation after cultivating. He quickly took some air from the stomach world.

Moreover, Ren Qing had reached the perfection of the Heavenly Gu Realm, and his need for air was very slight.

Theoretically, even if Ren Qing didn't breathe or eat for several years, there wouldn't be any obvious problems. If he actively transformed into a zombie body, he would directly eliminate the need for air.

Ren Qing subconsciously wanted to open his eyes, but the recovery of his body's senses was relatively slow.

He didn't panic too much and secretly used Corpse Fengdu. His flesh immediately turned black-gray, and the feeling of suffocation was somewhat reduced.

But what made Ren Qing unbelievable was that his body still had a need for air.

This showed that the suffocation was caused by the rules in the Immortal Position Forbidden Zone. What he had to do now was to save himself, otherwise he might be inexplicably injured.

This was also something he couldn't avoid. Before understanding the rules of the forbidden zone, danger might be hidden anywhere.

Ren Qing hesitated for a few breaths, and then used the Toe Separation Technique to modify his lungs.

Organisms similar to fish gills grew out of his neck, but he still couldn't breathe effectively. His lungs had already begun to atrophy.

Ren Qing clarified his direction and simply emptied his lungs completely.

Before long, his lungs formed a hollow structure, swallowing and spitting out blood throughout his body like a heart, extracting air from the blood.

The internal organs of cultivators above the Yang God Realm were already different from ordinary people, not to mention blood.

Similar to Han Li, who mastered the Blood Bacteria Record, every drop of blood was like a mustard seed space, capable of containing a large amount of rocks.

The oxygen content of Ren Qing's blood was definitely not as good as Han Li's, but it was not a big problem to breathe with it.

The moment he completed the transformation, his blood boiled, his body's perception quickly recovered, and even his hands and feet had developed sensation.

But what followed was excruciating pain all over his body.

Only then did Ren Qing notice that a gravity comparable to a mountain pressing down on him was enveloping his body in all directions.

Ren Qing's flesh and bones felt some obvious discomfort.

He checked the thousand or so cultivators traveling with him and found that only twenty or thirty had died, still due to oxygen deprivation caused by the immortal position rules.

This showed that the gravity generated by the forbidden zone varied for each cultivator.

Otherwise, apart from Ren Qing, no cultivator would be able to survive under the gravity, and they would probably all die in the forbidden zone instantly.

Ren Qing used the Toe Separation Technique to estimate the state of each cultivator and found that he was bearing two hundred times the gravity of a Yang God Realm cultivator and thirty times the gravity of a Heavenly Gu Realm cultivator.

It should be related to his strong foundation, otherwise it wouldn't be to this extent.

The cultivators struggled bitterly. Oxygen deprivation and gravity had brought them to the brink of death.

After Ren Qing regained consciousness, in order to prevent the thousand or so 'meat chickens' from easily dying from suffocation, he immediately drove the mutated disease species to transform into a more suitable distortion disease species for modifying the fleshly body.

In just a moment, their lungs transformed into a form of blood oxygen supply.

Ren Qing needed at least three or four of them to become immortals and attain the Dao, so that he could use them to attract the attention of the Turbid Immortals.

If they were to oppose him, Ren Qing could sense their position using the immortal position's ability, and at most spend some effort to take back the immortal position.

At the same time, Ren Qing finally regained control of his body, his eyelids slowly opened, and his scattered pupils focused.

He was stunned, really shocked by the scene in front of him.

Surrounding him was a deep and boundless void, as if he had left Earth and come to space. No wonder he had the illusion of being trapped in a quagmire.

What shocked Ren Qing was that in addition to the thousand or so floating cultivators in the void, there were also a dozen corpses as huge as planets.

The corpses were all in the image of immortals and gods, from the Earth Immortal of Fortune to the Giant Strength Ghost King, floating in the void in the form of corpses.

However, Ren Qing's body was at least four thousand meters tall, lying in the center of the void, and compared to the corpses of the immortals and gods, it was like the difference between an adult and a baby.

Ren Qing also found that the surface of the corpses of the immortals and gods had unique ecological environments, and food chains had begun to develop.

For example, the Earth Immortal of Fortune, whose corpse was covered with large and small pits, in which a large number of Heavenly Dao Worms could be seen drilling in and out.

Or the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit Immortal, whose flesh was covered with lush vegetation.

Rodents lived on it, and their backs were invariably covered with herbs, which could increase their strength by swallowing each other.

Ren Qing moved his muscles and bones, and then chose to sit cross-legged in the void.

He was completely relieved, because the dangers in the Immortal Position Forbidden Zone were all concentrated on the corpses, and there were no threats in the void.

Ren Qing adapted to the gravity of two hundred times that of a Yang God Realm cultivator, feeling that his body was becoming more compact and his bones were becoming harder.

He was not interested in the immortal position, and staying in the void to explore the path to becoming an immortal was the right solution.

If there were no accidents, the cultivators would wake up one after another in the next few months.

Before Ren Qing went into seclusion, he notified the forbidden jailers above the Yang God Realm in the stomach world.

Whether or not to fight for the immortal position was up to them.

Ren Qing did not encourage them to become immortals and attain the Dao with the help of the immortal position. After all, if Heaven and Earth Creation continued to advance upwards, they would eventually explore the path to becoming an immortal unique to the stomach world.

This was also the reason why he did not teach the forbidden jailers the Entering Divinity Technique.

Although the body tempering of incense would make the body and soul approach the immortals and gods, their own foundation would also be deeply affected, and they could only take a fixed route.

Ren Qing called the Entering Divinity Technique the "Divine Dao Technique," meaning to approach the immortals and gods, and did not plan to spread it out in a short time.

Of course, Ren Qing left the choice of immortal position to the forbidden jailers.

After all, the Earth Immortal of Fortune, the Ghost Immortal of Giant Strength, and other immortal positions were very suitable for the insect veins and corpse veins, not to mention the Silkworm Mother Insect Immortal that Li Yaoyang had always been concerned about.

The information about the Immortal Position Forbidden Zone had just spread in the forbidden jail, which caused a large-scale reaction from the cultivators. Unexpectedly, the low and middle-level cultivators were most interested in the corpses of the immortals and gods.

They wanted to go to the corpses of the immortals and gods to plunder the resources on them.

Because of the vacuum period these days, the forbidden jailers had basically been in seclusion to cultivate, which led to the depletion of the accumulated blood crystals.

They didn't care about the danger. Anyway, as long as they were prepared, even if they died, they could still transform into zombies.

Ren Qing was not in a hurry to use the power of the Zhenyuan Earth Ancestor to send the cultivators to the corpses of the immortals and gods.

He could not maintain the state of transforming into an immortal body for a long time, and there were also limitations on the number of cultivators projected by the Dharma, Heaven, and Earth.

After figuring out the reality, it would be time for the forbidden jailers to explore the corpses of the immortals and gods.

Ren Qing closed his eyes and meditated on the spells, while also seeing what would happen to the unconscious cultivators after they woke up on the corpses of the immortals and gods.

The situation of the immortal position quickly fermented and the internal undercurrents of the forbidden jail surged.

Although Han Li was only at the perfection of the Yin Difference Realm, after learning about the news of the immortal position, he immediately went into seclusion to break through the bottleneck of the Yang God Realm.

He spent a lot of time polishing his foundation, just to have enough confidence to advance.

The latest novel is first published on 6\\_9\\_book\\_bar!

But now there was no time to polish, he had to reach the Yang God Realm as soon as possible, and then participate in the competition for the Earth Immortal of Fortune.

Han Li keenly realized that the Earth Immortal of Fortune belonged to the forbidden jail.

The insect nest had been completely wiped out, the forbidden jail possessed the few remaining Heavenly Dao Insect Men, and the Wuwei Taoist Temple could barely be regarded as orthodox.

In the case that Ren Qing would not participate, Han Li did have a certain probability.

The two Yang God Realm Heavenly Dao Insect Men of the insect vein also urgently stopped their seclusion and discussed the Earth Immortal of Fortune, their words already eager to move.

They had been stuck at the perfection of the Yang God Realm for hundreds of years and could not find a breakthrough opportunity at all.

Mainly because the insect nest people were born with physical defects, and the difference from the insect nest mother was too great, which led to the inability to advance to the Heavenly Gu Realm.

The insect nest technique also had defects, but it had not been figured out yet.

Taihan Zhenren took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said, "Yuhua, if you really obtain the Earth Immortal of Fortune, you should refine it."

Yuhua Zhenren hesitated, but still nodded in agreement.

The strength of the branches of the forbidden jail was gradually showing, and Yang God Realm cultivators were appearing one after another, and sooner or later the Heavenly Gu Realm would also be popularized.

If the insect vein did not have a Heavenly Gu Realm cultivator, it would soon be eliminated.

The two whispered for a long time, and then laid down a specific plan, not paying attention to the Wuwei Taoist Temple led by Han Li at all.

The general trend of sealing immortals swept through the interior of the forbidden jail.

If it weren't for Ren Qing sitting in charge, I'm afraid the branches would inevitably be chaotic, or even split, and fight each other for the sake of seeking the immortal position.

Ren Qing had long expected the reaction of the branches and did not interfere.

He had already begun the advancement of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, first reaching the perfection of the five spells, and then considering becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao.

"Whether to advance to Dao Gives Birth to One, will consume 40,000 years of lifespan"

40,000 years of lifespan was not painful or itchy for the current Ren Qing. If it were not for leaving room for the Heavenly Dao Transformation, he could continuously advance the Heavenly Demon Tribulation to the level of One Gives Birth to Two.

When Ren Qing closed his eyes and operated the spell, the Heavenly Demon Tribulation silently appeared and transformed.

Because of the breakthrough of the spell, the gravity enveloping his body surged, causing the flesh and bones to suddenly make unbearable sounds.

His consciousness came to the palace room composed of flesh and blood, and in front of him was a mass of black mist.

The center of the black mist was connected to a narrow umbilical cord, which was supplied with nutrients by the palace room, forming a strange and close connection.

Ren Qing understood that the black mist was the prototype of the Free Demon, representing the Immortal Position itself. Next, he needed to gradually fuse with the black mist.

As the crying sound rang out, it indicated that the information flow was forcibly stripping away the black mist.

The celestial bone of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation was the skull. Veins popped out on Ren Qing's forehead, but fortunately, the Niwan Palace was protected by the perfected Toe Severance Art.

Not far away, the Elephant Master sensed the fluctuations of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation in his sleep, and his brows furrowed tightly. Then, his consciousness returned to his body.

He woke up in a violent coughing fit, his swollen lungs filled with blood.

The transformation of the aberrant disease on the other cultivators was naturally not meticulous, causing the Elephant Master's lungs to seem out of control.

Every second, they were breathing blood at a high rate, and oxygen was traveling frantically through the blood vessels.

The Elephant Master had a splitting headache because of this. He covered his temples, opened his eyes, and immediately noticed the scene inside the Immortal Position Forbidden Area.

Corpses were suspended in the void, and gravity was pressing down on his soul.

The Elephant Master was somewhat confused, but after discovering the corpse of the Giant Force Ghost King, he understood that he had to get to the corpse as soon as possible.

The ecology of the Giant Force Ghost King was very special, with mushrooms dozens of meters tall everywhere.

The tops of the mushrooms occasionally spewed out a large amount of smoke and dust, causing transparent wraiths to appear, in incredibly large numbers.

The Elephant Master's face turned red. He swallowed the medicinal pill embedded in his molars, and his perception of pain became numb.

He used the inertia of waving his fists to fly towards the Giant Force Ghost King.

After the Elephant Master moved, his vision also widened. He immediately noticed Ren Qing sitting cross-legged in the void, cultivating as if no one else was around.

He felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, but for some reason, he couldn't muster the courage to attack.

The Elephant Master had no choice but to try his best to get away from Ren Qing, using his body beyond its limits. Blood seeped from his pores, and his internal organs were on the verge of collapse.

After Ren Qing broke through the Heavenly Demon Tribulation's Dao Genesis, his body size uncontrollably expanded again, gradually exceeding the range of five thousand meters.

In the forbidden area filled with the corpses of immortals and gods, Ren Qing seemed like a living immortal and god.

"Could it be that there really are immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court?"

The Elephant Master no longer dared to doubt the authenticity of the Heavenly Court. Even though he was severely injured, he had to go to the Giant Force Ghost King. His eyes were already bloodshot.

The Heavenly Aberrant Realm cultivators woke up one after another and immediately rushed to the corpses of the immortals and gods.

Even the cultivators who had previously complained, after seeing the corpses, all set off immediately.

The opportunity to become an immortal and attain the Dao was right in front of them. Which cultivator could resist it?

Looking at a mountain makes your horse die. Although the corpses of the immortals and gods seemed to be close at hand, in reality, it would take at least several months to get there just by walking.

Ren Qing did not continue to pay attention to the situation in the forbidden area.

The surge in his body size should be due to the manifestation of the Immortal Position in the forbidden area. If he broke through to become an Earth Immortal, he should surpass the corpses of the immortals and gods.

Ren Qing closed his eyes and continuously circulated the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, vaguely establishing a connection with the Old Man Under the Moon, because the Immortal Position was similar in some aspects.

It may be that they were more compatible with the Disaster Elimination Method.

Of course, in terms of potential, the Old Man Under the Moon and the Free Demon were far apart, and their strength after becoming immortals could not be compared at all.

Among Ren Qing's five Immortal Positions, the Heaven and Earth Life was the only one that firmly suppressed the Heavenly Demon Tribulation.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Tribulation was an exceptionally compatible primary and secondary art, and facing the Heavenly Dao was also the last step, resulting in the smoothest comprehension of the Ascension to Immortality Method.

Ren Qing looked around at the corpses, still somewhat unable to understand why Nameless would abandon the Old Man Under the Moon in the Immortal Position Forbidden Area.

He looked regretful. If Nameless came to the Immortal Position Forbidden Area, he was even thinking of simply cutting off the weeds and eliminating the roots, but the other party remained unmoved.

In the beginning, Nameless was definitely interested in the Old Man Under the Moon.

Ren Qing vaguely remembered that when he first released the Old Man Under the Moon's Ascension to Immortality Method, "Tying the Knot", the corpse immortal-controlled cultivators reacted very strongly.

Nameless showed in every way that he was looking for the Immortal Position, so at that time, the zombie cultivators were the most active in the black markets of scattered cultivators.

So when exactly did Nameless give up on the Old Man Under the Moon?

Could it be that the strength displayed by the Heavenly Court was too strong, causing Nameless to retreat in the face of difficulty?

Ren Qing then secretly denied it. Nameless was someone who dared to scheme against even true immortals, so the fictitious Heavenly Court could not be taken seriously at all.

He communicated with tens of thousands of cultivators when he activated the Conferred God, so there was no way Nameless wouldn't know.

Ren Qing previously thought that Nameless's temperament was too insane and did not care about his plans, but now that he thought about it, something was not quite right.

Nameless was definitely crazy, but he would never miss the opportunity to become an immortal.

Unless, Nameless discovered an Immortal Position far surpassing the Old Man Under the Moon.

Ren Qing muttered to himself in disbelief, "But where would an Immortal Position come from?"

"My eyes and ears are all over the various forces, and I have sent tens of thousands of cultivators to collect clues. I haven't even let go of the black markets where scattered cultivators gather, and I am observing Nameless's movements at all times."

Unfortunately, the Immortal Position Forbidden Area created by Ren Qing was extremely closed off, and he could not sense the outside world's fungal souls and dragons. Otherwise, he could at least see clues from Nameless's actions.

Ren Qing suddenly remembered the strangeness of the Black Crow Matriarch building the blood pool.

Could Nameless's purpose of becoming an immortal be related to the blood pool?

Ren Qing shook his head. Nameless arranged the blood pool probably to escape from the corpse immortal. It was impossible for him to deliberately release the aura of the Heavenly Demon to contaminate the flesh, right?

Even if Nameless sided with the Supreme Heavenly Demon, there would be no benefit.

Ren Qing forcibly suppressed his distracting thoughts. The true situation of the outside world could be known with a glance using the Toe Severance Art after it advanced to True Immortal.

He continued to stabilize his cultivation, allowing his body to adapt to the gravity brought by the forbidden area.

At the same time, Ren Qing continuously used Heaven and Earth Life, groping for the rules of the forbidden area, preparing to use the immortal body to project a large-scale chessboard.

The other cultivators seemed to be aware that a storm was coming.

After all, it was clearly a Conferred God ceremony held by the Heavenly Court, but there were no figures of Heavenly Court cultivators anywhere, obviously using them as pathfinders.

They really had no choice. The oxygen contained in their blood was really limited.

Most cultivators could only use the nearest corpse as a springboard due to physical reasons, so they mainly focused on the "Land Immortal of Fortune".

Among the cultivators present, apart from Angran Layman who mainly cultivated the remnant chapters of the Heavenly Dao Method, barely related to the Land Immortal of Fortune, the other cultivators only felt a headache when they saw the Heavenly Dao Worm.

They did not have direct competition. With the Immortal Position still having a surplus, they joined forces to deal with the Heavenly Dao Worm.

Within the ecology of the Land Immortal of Fortune, the Heavenly Dao Worms were divided into dozens of types of sizes.

Some specialized in parasitizing the internal organs, some directly replaced the brain, and some unknowingly hollowed out the flesh and bones.

Before long, some cultivators became breeding grounds for larvae buried deep underground.

Moreover, this was only the skin and flesh layer of the Land Immortal of Fortune. Even Ren Qing could not figure out what kind of situation was inside the body.
