The Secret Way of Immortality

The moment the Mirror of the Moon appeared, the raindrops in the cave froze, and the greasy smell of brain matter became even more intense, making one want to vomit.

Stimulated by the Heavenly Devil Lightning, a layer of fine black hair grew on its surface, and an external cerebellum continued to grow on its back.

The cerebellum of the Mirror of the Moon split open, constantly producing strange objects like a palace chamber.

The strange objects resembled Flying Heads, constantly gathering in mid-air, emitting strange whimpers, and grinding their teeth impatiently.

The Sanctuary had already raised its barrier at this time, so it was not particularly afraid of the Mirror of the Moon, but it was wary of attracting the Celestial Venerable of Morality.

Real Person Dameng sized up the Mirror of the Moon, feeling that its state was very strange, with its flesh and blood undergoing畸变 at the same time, and its aura becoming more and more unstable.

"Don't attack yet, something's weird."

"Senior Dameng, look... cough cough cough cough..."

Han Li couldn't help but cough, and a stinging pain grew in the back of his head.

The other cultivators also coughed in unison, as if infected with the flu, but there were no other abnormalities in their bodies and souls.

Real Person Dameng narrowed his eyes, and the skin on his body disappeared as if peeling off layer by layer, transforming back into a distorted appearance of light and shadow.

"As expected of the offspring of the Celestial Venerable of Morality."

With a wave of his hand, the cultivators stopped coughing, and then subconsciously touched their faces, with viscous brain matter flowing from their nostrils.

Li Yaoyang quickly took out the Brain-Eating Worm and ordered the city-守城 cultivators to fully deploy the formation.

The light emitted by the Sanctuary soared, and the smell was isolated from the outside, so that hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the city did not deteriorate.

The 守城 magic artifacts were revealed accordingly.

On the six city walls, there was a metallic collision, and in an instant, chimney-shaped gun barrels protruded from the surface of the Sanctuary, emitting an unspeakable terrifying deterrent force.

The other end of the gun barrels was connected to tens of thousands of Daoist disciples, with Youyuan灌输 pouring into them, and strange multi-colored lights converging inside the gun barrels.

Li Yaoyang did not dare to act rashly, and looked at Real Person Dameng with concealed eyes.

A great battle was about to break out.

The Mirror of the Moon did not actively attack either, focusing on incubating Flying Heads.

The individual Flying Heads possessed the cultivation of the Heavenly Strange Realm, and although there were indeed many of them, it was not difficult for the Sanctuary to resist.

Real Person Dameng could not figure out the reality of the Mirror of the Moon, and a hazy light and shadow enveloped the surroundings, with his figure turning into a giant hundreds of meters tall.

Li Yaoyang revealed admiration, never expecting that Real Person Dameng, relying on the Heavenly Dao in his stomach world, had actually advanced to become a Corpse 解仙 Immortal, and there was no doubt that his aura was above that of a 地仙 Earth Immortal.

Real Person Dameng's hasty advancement to 大罗金仙 Golden Immortal was not without its drawbacks. After all, his consciousness had been staying in the deep dream realm for a long time, causing his body and soul to become extremely unstable.

The main reason he could appear in the Sanctuary was because Ren An was stationed here, which could be favored by the Heavenly Dao in an intangible way and suppress the abnormalities of his body and soul, otherwise it would take thousands of years of painstaking effort.

The Mirror of the Moon floated not far away, with a large number of eyeballs on its top乱转, and no one knew why it had come to find the Sanctuary.

"Shedding... ascension..."

It uttered four words crookedly, and the cultivators couldn't help coughing again, and the severe pain from their brains made their hands and feet numb.

Real Person Dameng took a deep breath, and finally discovered the ability of the Mirror of the Moon. With a wave of his hand, an intangible wave swept through the cave.

"Do not listen to what is improper, do not look at what is improper, do not smell what is improper..."

Without exception, the senses of the cultivators in the Sanctuary were temporarily sealed, causing their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose to fall into silent darkness.

Before they could panic, a red line connected the spines of millions of cultivators.

The cultivators suddenly vaguely sensed everything nearby, and no longer thought about coughing, but their senses became very strange.

Real Person Dameng nodded secretly, he had figured out the ability of the Mirror of the Moon.

Once the Mirror of the Moon allowed cultivators to perceive its existence, the brains of the cultivators would gradually produce异化, and as the异化 deepened, the brain would inevitably completely脱离the control of the body.

The cultivators kept coughing, which was a sign that the brain was about to drill out of the mouth and nose.

Seeing that the Sanctuary had not fallen as expected, the Mirror of the Moon suddenly became anxious, and a circle of purple-black fluctuations appeared around it.

Wherever the fluctuations passed, the dragons that were slower to escape died immediately, and their brains became independent monsters, roaring around the Mirror of the Moon.

The Mirror of the Moon tentatively approached the Sanctuary, while the Flying Heads swarmed towards the city wall.

"Kill!!!"

Real Person Dameng noticed that the Mirror of the Moon was losing patience, so he told the siege magic artifacts not to hold back.

Boom boom boom.

Explosions rose one after another, and a surging fire burst from the gun barrels, heavily hitting the Mirror of the Moon, and countless stalactites on the top of the cave shattered.

Even Earth Immortals would not dare to use their bodies to take the power of the artillery fire.

But the Mirror of the Moon acted contrary to common sense, and allowed the artillery fire to hit it without moving.

As the air wave soared into the sky, the Mirror of the Moon flew backwards a few meters, but the attack of the artillery fire only caused it to flow out more brain matter.

Real Person Dameng rushed over quickly, and with a wave of his hand, the rock wall turned into colorful jade stones, and red lines缠绕住the Mirror of the Moon.

The Mirror of the Moon couldn't help but喃喃自语, and while its injuries recovered, a thick hard shell grew on the parts that had been bombarded.

Boom boom boom.

After another round of artillery fire, the Mirror of the Moon was covered with a hard shell, and gradually adapted to the counterattack of the Sanctuary.

"Stop, you focus on defending against the strange objects."

Real Person Dameng understood that the Mirror of the Moon could蜕变 through injury, and any attack that could not kill it would allow the Mirror of the Moon to continue to蜕变.

He released red lines to block the Mirror of the Moon, and the aura of the dream realm grew a light and shadow-like cerebellum as soon as it came into contact with the other party.

Real Person Dameng was caught off guard and fell to the ground drowsily.

He had already realized that the ability of the Mirror of the Moon, in addition to causing the brains of cultivators to异化, could also continue to蜕变 in the aura of术法, and even specifically grow a cerebellum to restrain himself.

The flesh and blood of the Mirror of the Moon began to boil, and the released light and shadow allowed the Flying Heads to rush into a hundred meters of the Sanctuary, and swords and swords相向on the wall.

It locked its eyes on the core of the Sanctuary, and its fleshly body收缩的even more severely, which was an instinctive fear of the Mirror of the Moon.

"No wonder it was able to survive in the hands of the Celestial Venerable of Morality."

Real Person Dameng regained consciousness, the light in the cave was distorted, and the red lines were arranged into a large net, outlining 魇魔 in a dream.

The 魇魔缠住 the Mirror of the Moon in groups.

Real Person Dameng was much more cautious this time, and no longer chose to contact the Mirror of the Moon at close range, simply using dream realm術法 to delay time.

But he was a little憋屈.

Although Golden Immortals were comparable to Corpse 解仙 Immortals, they could not发挥出their strength outside the city, let alone the Mirror of the Moon could continue to evolve.

"Shedding... ascension..."

The Mirror of the Moon roared, and the cerebellum responsible for incubating the Flying Heads split, and it could be seen that the core of the cerebellum was two entangled masses of烂肉.

If there were no accidents, it would be the Heart Fire Star and the 太阴 Star Lord.

The Flying Heads frantically tore at the 魇魔, and after the dream realm aura was absorbed by the Mirror of the Moon, only a muffled sound of噗噗 was heard.

Swollen bags bulged on both sides of the Mirror of the Moon, pus flowed, and another cerebellum钻出.

The cerebellum was completely composed of black mist, and then the Flying Heads produced the characteristics of 魇魔, but they were still being suppressed by Real Person Dameng.

Real Person Dameng's expression was slightly uneasy. If this continued, the Mirror of the Moon might反过来affect his actions.

But even if the cerebellum was shattered, it would not be of much use, because it was difficult to truly kill the Mirror of the Moon.

If Real Person Dameng did not have complete certainty, once he chose to take risks, he would likely助涨the strength of the Mirror of the Moon.

Moreover, he suspected that the Mirror of the Moon was not as fragile as he imagined.

The Mirror of the Moon was able to survive in the hands of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, and should have the ability of a lizard to断尾求生, which was really a headache.

"Big trouble."

Li Yaoyang捏着鼻梁with a headache, and had to let the low-level cultivators evacuate the stomach world first.

The Sanctuary continued to清缴 the Flying Heads, but the number of strange objects remained high, and tens of thousands could be繁殖 in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the temperature of this world began to rise.

The ocean boiled like boiling water, evaporating and disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, indicating that another Heavenly Dao was about to降临.

The flow rate of the stomach world was ten times faster, and it was responsible for the logistics supply of the Sanctuary, transporting various magic artifacts and elixirs.

Cultivators who had been severely injured would also be sent to the stomach world to recuperate, ensuring that the living forces would continuously replenish the 守城 cultivators.

Once this war machine of the 禁卒堂 Hall of Law Enforcers was running, its durability was unimaginable.

The Heavenly Dao Tree stood in the center of the stomach world. Because the cultivators were busy supporting the Sanctuary, only Song Zongwu was left to悟道.

Song Zongwu frowned tightly. He could sense that the厮杀 in the Sanctuary was愈演愈烈, and the number of deaths and injuries was increasing sharply.

More and more corpses were floating in the 地府黄泉 Underworld Yellow Springs, and the身死 cultivators could only轉修僵尸 cultivate as zombies.

Song Zongwu wanted to pause his闭关 several times, but because his body and soul were陷入被业火灼烧 engulfed by karmic fire, he could not easily脱身.

The旺盛 karmic fire was like a hungry wolf, biting its prey and not letting go.

Song Zongwu was separated from领悟the Heavenly Dao "薪火 Firewood" by a layer of window paper that was difficult to describe, and it was of no help at all.

More than a dozen Void Fortress要塞掠过 past the Heavenly Dao Tree, obviously heading to the Sanctuary.

The Void Fortress要塞 was equivalent to a mobile储藏 magic artifact, which accumulated a massive amount of Spiritual Mountain Buddhist Qi and carried materials for修补 法阵 repairing formations.

From this, it could be seen that the walls of the Sanctuary had already破损.

Song Zongwu became more and more anxious, and bit his teeth and no longer resisted the karmic fire, allowing the Heavenly Dao to侵蚀 his body and soul, and the flames suddenly暴涨数倍 soared several times.

The severe pain made Song Zongwu want to自我了断 commit suicide, and at the same time, his consciousness was extremely clear, and the 薪火 Firewood Heavenly Dao was呼之欲出 about to emerge.

His current karmic fire was completely out of control, and there was no possibility of suppression.

Either he would领悟 the Heavenly Dao, or he would身死道消 die and his Dao would disappear, there was no other choice.

Song Zongwu's consciousness陷入空明 fell into a state of emptiness, and a large number of unfamiliar memories涌上心头 flooded into his mind, which were the experiences of the nameless ascetic monk世世generation after generation.

From the old monk who knocked on the wooden fish, to the devout believer who叩首 bowed every seven steps, to the barefoot doctor who採药 collected medicine on cliffs to save people, and then to the hunter who以身喂食 fed wild animals with his own body……

He could see that the nameless ascetic monk still believed in 人定胜天 that humans could conquer nature in his early lives.

The nameless ascetic monk believed that he could get rid of the shackles of the果位 by修行 cultivating, and the Buddhist修行 cultivation also emphasized磨练身魂 tempering the body and soul, so he wholeheartedly put it on行走世间 walking in the world.

In the end, he was completely disappointed, and after all, he could not escape the fate of being吞噬 devoured by the果位.

Following the memories of the nameless ascetic monk, Song Zongwu's emotions were笼罩 covered by despair, as if invisible hands were扼住扼住 his neck.

"Alas..."

With a long sigh, Song Zongwu discovered that he had an essential difference from Real Person Dameng.

Real Person Dameng's talent was extraordinary, and he could seize any opportunity. It was not difficult for him to晋升 advance to Golden Immortal.

If Song Zongwu had not been解救 rescued by Ren An, his soul might still be trapped in his head.

"Maybe this life is not修不成 destined to cultivate into a Golden Immortal, or maybe reincarnate to求个机缘 seek an opportunity?"

As soon as Song Zongwu had this thought, the karmic fire失控 immediately went out of control.

His body and soul began to溶解 dissolve, and the memories of the nameless ascetic monk for nine lives were消化殆尽 digested, leaving only his修行 cultivation experiences in the 禁卒堂 Hall of Law Enforcers.

Song Zongwu was有所触动 touched, as if he had returned to the time when he晋升 advanced to the Yang Spirit Realm, and when he jumped off the cliff, all杂念蕩然無存 distracting thoughts disappeared.

"历经苦难方不堕, This is the path of 修罗 Asura."

Song Zongwu suddenly opened his eyes, the karmic fire did not熄灭 have no intention of dying down, but the Heavenly Immortal position to which his body and soul were依附 attached took another step forward.

The Golden Immortal had already 成 formed.

He恭恭敬敬 respectfully bowed to the Heavenly Dao Tree, 双腿发力 legs exerted force and disappeared in place.

Song Zongwu奔 went to the Sanctuary, and as he walked, the dead skin on his body蜕去 peeled off, and his bones重组 reorganized, turning into two大道至简 simple and profound arms.

He跃过门径 leapt over the doorway, and the喧闹 noisy sounds灌入灌入 his ears.

The six walls of the Sanctuary were时时刻刻遭受 constantly being衝擊 impacted by the Flying Heads, and the outside of the city was composed of red line-shaped light and shadow.

The Mirror of the Moon had膨胀数倍 expanded several times, covered with cerebellum-like肉瘤 tumors.

The light and shadow in the cave were almost entirely produced by the Mirror of the Moon, and Real Person Dameng was now疲于奔命 exhausted, and his術法 spells were only enough to护持 protect the Sanctuary.

Real Person Dameng had already 击杀 killed the Mirror of the Moon several times, but the latter重构 reconstructed its body through the Flying Heads, making it difficult to消灭 eliminate by conventional means.

He was only able to缠斗 engage in long-term entanglement by using the Heavenly Dao to护持 protect it.

Real Person Dameng was维持着 maintaining the light and shadow transformation, and only he knew the real situation of his body and soul. The flesh, blood, and bones in his body had already appeared莫名异变 inexplicable abnormalities.

His right arm had been in contact with the Mirror of the Moon, and the characteristics of the异变 were the most obvious.

The arm had unknowingly 分裂 split into two, and it seemed that under the influence of the Mirror of the Moon, a second self was about to诞生 born from within his body.

Real Person Dameng 折断 snapped off the extra arm, and couldn't help but发出闷哼 let out a muffled groan.

At this time, tens of thousands of Flying Heads suddenly化为肉糜 turned into minced meat, and Song Zongwu came to Real Person Dameng, with each punch causing片成片成片的诡物 to die.

Real Person Dameng's heart振心头一振 soared, and he transmitted the information of the Mirror of the Moon to Song Zongwu.

Song Zongwu收回业火 withdrew the karmic fire, and the two of them呈合围之势 formed a siege, and their extremely skilled配合 cooperation after thousands of years of being together made them extremely skilled.

Real Person Dameng mainly defended, and Song Zongwu cooperated to prevent the Mirror of the Moon from脱身 escaping.

They targeted attacks on the cerebellum responsible for孵化 incubating, trying to reduce the number of Flying Heads in the 禁卒堂 Hall of Law Enforcers as much as possible, and prepared for the final blow.

The battle lasted for more than ten days, and Real Person Dameng's soul was创受创 not lightly injured in order to allow Song Zongwu to adapt to the changes of the Golden Immortal, but fortunately there were elixirs that could抑制 the deterioration of the injury.

Just when there were only a thousand or so Flying Heads left, Real Person Dameng刺进 poked his hands into his temples.

"落梦 Falling Dream."

The Mirror of the Moon was caught off guard and周身的空间塌陷 the surrounding space collapsed, and Real Person Dameng briefly pulled the other party into the deep dream realm.

Song Zongwu had already掌握 mastered his own Golden Immortal strength in the few days and nights of entanglement with the Mirror of the Moon, even if it was压制 reduced by 30% outside the city.

"千臂 Thousand Arms."

As his body膨胀 expanded, thousands of arms钻出 from under his ribs, and each arm also had blood-red pupils in the palm.

Song Zongwu spat out smoke and dust, his teeth melting from the high temperature.

His fist paused for a few breaths after being raised, then fell heavily, striking the Moon Mirror like raindrops, the thousand arms leaving only afterimages.

The Moon Mirror seemed to have no room to fight back, allowing Song Zongwu to swing his fist.

However, Song Zongwu's expression showed no warmth, because he noticed that the Moon Mirror's outer skin was becoming increasingly tough, and the shattered cerebrums were growing back.

If the Moon Mirror remained alive, its physical body would eventually be able to resist Song Zongwu's attacks, a characteristic that made it almost immortal.

After determining the Moon Mirror's range of activity, Great Dream Master moved his mind slightly, and the moment he escaped from the deep dream, he pulled the cavern space two hundred meters away into the deep dream.

This way, the shelter would have enough time to destroy the flying heads.

"Old Song, ten breaths."

"Okay."

Song Zongwu wiped the blood from his forehead, his knuckles turning white as he clenched his fist, and the speed of his punches increased, becoming difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Great Dream Master silently counted in his heart, canceling his supernatural power the moment ten breaths had passed.

The shelter was revealed from the light and shadow, and not a single flying head could be seen, but the six walls were covered in flesh and blood.

Only ten breaths had passed in the outside world, but more than ten years had passed in the deep dream.

From the tired expressions of the guarding cultivators, it could be seen that they were probably under constant attack from the flying heads.

"Old Song!"

Great Dream Master reminded him, and all the eyes on Song Zongwu's body opened, his thousand hands raised above his head at the same time, and karmic fire burned crazily.

The Moon Mirror seemed to sense Song Zongwu's threat, struggling to get away, while also opening its mouth to greedily stare at the karmic fire.

"…"

It uttered a scripture that could not be understood, then froze in place like a dead object, allowing Song Zongwu to rush towards it.

His fist struck like a pendulum, and the air tore with a ripping sound.

Song Zongwu was extremely confident in this punch, not only because he had figured out the Moon Mirror, but also because his entire skeleton was covered with cracks.

The backlash from the fist alone could seriously injure Song Zongwu.

Bang!!

The torrential rain in the cavern disappeared, and the shelter could not help but shake.

But the scene Song Zongwu expected did not appear. The Moon Mirror's aura still existed, and his thousand arms were actually caught with ease.

"Senior Song, calm down."

Song Zongwu noticed Ren Qing, who had a smile on his face, standing in front of him, and the strength he had gathered dissipated greatly, making him feel a burst of anger.

"You little brat likes to watch the show, right? Always doing things that are irrelevant."

Seeing this, Great Dream Master shook his head. While shocked by Ren Qing's strength, he felt that the other party was even more difficult to see through: "Ren Qing, you should have been out of seclusion for some time, right?"

"Yes, for more than ten days."

Song Zongwu's blood rushed to his head, and veins as thick as earthworms burst out on his arms.

"Sorry, I just wanted to figure out what this [Moon Mirror] is all about, and see how the Celestial Venerable of Morality would react."

As Ren Qing spoke, he released a dense mass of various菌種, which quickly crawled all over the Moon Mirror, immediately applying diseases to the latter.

The Moon Mirror was immediately infected with tens of thousands of intractable diseases, and under the effect of the diseases, it quickly evolved, growing cerebrums all over its body to store the diseases.

Then, an extremely rich demonic aura surged towards the Moon Mirror, followed by the lightning controlled by the Toe Separation Technique, the Yin energy of Corpse Fengdu…

Under the scalp-numbing gazes of the two, Ren Qing used almost all of his methods.

Although the Moon Mirror's vitality was indeed slowly dissipating, Ren Qing's actions looked like he was helping the Moon Mirror's strength.

This layered moon disc brain expanded to a size of about a kilometer.

Immediately afterwards, the Moon Mirror rapidly contracted, its vitality completely lost, leaving only a shriveled and withered pure white skin.

Song Zongwu asked: "Why bother with this?"

"That's not the Moon Mirror's main body, but a clone formed from brain cells. However, the main body can use the clone as a medium to absorb the nutrients obtained by the clone."

Song Zongwu and Great Dream Master exchanged glances, both feeling a little unbelievable.

The Moon Mirror they had fought to the death with was just an insignificant clone. How terrifying would the main body be?

Ren Qing explained: "The Moon Mirror is currently trapped in the hands of the Celestial Venerable of Morality. Its strength being powerful is beneficial to us, at least it can bring trouble to the Celestial Venerable of Morality."

"The Moon Mirror was already at the perfection of Corpse Dissection Immortal at its birth. With its adaptability, facing the harsh environment of the Heavenly Dao's descent, its strength will only continue to increase."

During his seclusion, he noticed that the Buddha Tooth had lost contact.

Ren Qing thought that the Moon Mirror had died, but he didn't expect it to use the method of clones to devour the karmic fire of the Tathagata.

He didn't think that the Celestial Venerable of Morality would give the Moon Mirror a chance to continue creating clones, so he tried his best to let the Moon Mirror grow.

Great Dream Master stared at the hot cavern and asked: "Will the Moon Mirror become the Heavenly Dao?"

"Impossible. The Supreme Heavenly Demon relied on seizing the body of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara to advance to the Heavenly Dao."

"The Moon Mirror has no chance at all, and will eventually become the food of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, and… time is running out."

The three of them were silent. The water source of this world was gradually drying up, and another Heavenly Dao would inevitably descend within ten years.

Great Dream Master lost interest in further investigation and returned to the Stomach World to recover from his injuries.

Song Zongwu had just advanced and had many things to deal with. He patted Ren Qing and said: "Don't put pressure on yourself. We just need to muddle along. How would the Heavenly Dao care about the Imprisoned Corps Division?"

He turned and walked towards the shelter, leaving Ren Qing with a wry smile.

Ren Qing knew that the Three Dao Ancestors would not care about ants, but the key issue was that he possessed the bones of the previous Heavenly Dao after his death.

The origin of the information flow was far beyond imagination, involving the truth of ten thousand years ago.

Ten thousand years ago, the Daoist Heavenly Dao was indeed transformed by the "Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning", "Celestial Venerable of Morality", and "Celestial Venerable of the Numinous Treasure".

The Buddhist Heavenly Dao was transformed by the "Tathagata Buddha", "Ancient Buddha Dipankara", and "Maitreya Buddha".

The Heavenly Dao at that time was completely different. Cultivating spells would not cause alienation. Just like the Celestial Venerable of Morality's true name was the Mother of All Things, the Heavenly Dao had long been replaced by extraterrestrial demons.

The death and disappearance of the Three Dao Ancestors had a closely related cause and effect with the Three Buddhas of the Buddhist sect.

The Three Buddhas took the initiative to bring the life situation closer to the extraterrestrial demons, and the result was also destruction, which also led to the fall of this world.

Without the Three Buddhas as a medium, the extraterrestrial demons could not have affected the Three Dao Ancestors.

Of course, the Three Dao Ancestors could not be completely killed. Ren Qing, who came across, received the bones, forming an information flow that exempted him from the cost.

This is also the reason why it is difficult to advance to the Heavenly Dao with the information flow. After all, the essence is incomplete.

Ren Qing felt a headache.

It's impossible for me to replace the corrupted Heavenly Dao and reshape the order of this world.

[The story of the Three Dao Ancestors and the Ancient Gods will be placed in the postscript at the end.]
