The Secret Way of Immortality

Just as Ren Qing was speaking, the exposed sapling uncontrollably grew, reaching a height of several meters in a short while.

The entire tree appeared exceptionally bizarre, constructed entirely of white bones and covered with flesh, quickly transforming into a vague human form.

It probably wouldn't be long before the sapling above Ren Qing's head would completely mature into a statue of the Longevity Immortal.

Ren Qing's divided soul's aura also became increasingly faint, as if it were about to dissipate at any moment, but his words remained without the slightest fluctuation.

Peach Blossom Immortal examined it several times but found no problems, muttering to himself somewhat neurotically, "It must be from spending too much time with fake immortals; even I've been infected with hysteria. How can a tree immortal have consciousness..."

Once a tree immortal takes root and sprouts, it's impossible to move its body at will.

His gaze remained locked on Ren Qing, discovering that the other's aura had subsided, and his soul had become even more indistinct.

Peach Blossom Immortal grabbed a patient not far away and asked in a threatening tone, "Can you hear a voice speaking from underground?"

The patient trembled all over, only shaking his head repeatedly.

Only then did Peach Blossom Immortal feel relieved, turning to walk towards the side room of the clinic, intending to properly digest the Longevity Immortal sarcoma in his abdomen.

But just then, the ground of Unburied Town trembled slightly.

Ren Qing's almost extinguished soul suddenly surged, and the tree grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Peach Blossom Immortal stopped, repeatedly asking the patient if it was a hallucination, and even if he didn't have hysteria, he was about to be driven crazy.

Ren Qing's main soul's consciousness descended upon the divided soul, immediately understanding the situation.

He hadn't expected the strange object from the Longevity Forbidden Zone to exist in the image of an immortal, and even more unexpectedly, that the strange object could break through the limitations of realms.

Perhaps the Yang God Realm forbidden zones all followed this rule, making them even closer to the real world.

He ignored Peach Blossom Immortal, estimating that if the tree immortal didn't merge with the strange object, it was very likely to form some kind of terrifying monster.

So when Medicine Master cleverly wanted to find Ren Qing to replace himself, Peach Blossom Immortal became exceptionally furious, immediately planning to strike a deadly blow.

Peach Blossom Immortal's ability to separate his own strange objects should have some limitations.

Now that only Ren Qing's tree immortal remained, he was immediately caught in a dilemma, hesitating for a long time and not daring to suppress it with spells.

Ren Qing didn't continue to provoke Peach Blossom Immortal, directly summoning the information stream.

【Ren Qing】

【Lifespan: Forty-five years, one hundred and thirty-three days】

【Illnesses: Sleepless Disease Tree, Cancer, Night Blindness, Night Sweats, Wind-Cold, Hysteria】

When Ren Qing's sapling grew, the Sleepless Disease transformed into a Sleepless Disease Tree, forming a life similar to Cordyceps sinensis, extremely strange.

He then focused his attention on the Sleepless Disease Tree.

【Promote Sleepless Disease Tree? Consumes twenty years of lifespan】

Having grown accustomed to the main body's lifespan of hundreds of years, having to live frugally with only a few decades for the divided soul was truly somewhat helpless.

The moment Ren Qing secretly confirmed it, the strange tree above his head grew frantically again, quickly exceeding the original scope of the statue.

The strange object within his body stirred, wanting to parasitize and bear fruit, but the mere Ghost Envoy Realm was not regarded by the information stream.

Soon, the strange object was forcibly eliminated.

Immediately afterwards, the strange tree increasingly leaned towards a human form, but it wasn't the Longevity Immortal, but a three-headed immortal with three flowers gathered on the crown and five energies moving in harmony.

The patient knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing his head against the bluestone bricks.

Peach Blossom Immortal also appeared somewhat at a loss, because he had never seen such a situation; tree immortals usually had the appearance of the Three Immortals of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity.

"It's all hysteria, I must be crazy, I must be crazy..."

He hugged his chest with both hands, constantly emitting arrogant laughter from his mouth, and even Jin Chengxiang outside the town could vaguely hear it.

The three-headed immortal statue then inexplicably began to wither, the surface of its body covered with scars of varying sizes.

Ren Qing, receiving the feedback of nutrients from the disease tree, gradually swelled uncontrollably, causing Unburied Town to experience earth-shaking tremors.

From this, it could be seen that the disease tree, without merging with the strange object, should transform into a monster.

He sensed the terrifying transformation and loss of control acting on his body and soul, and the speed of lifespan consumption couldn't be suppressed by the Dream Seed at all.

But at the same time, Ren Qing also discovered that he seemed to be able to supplement the defects of the disease by absorbing Peach Blossom Immortal, the two being mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.

Ren Qing looked at the information stream, not intending to waste the remaining twenty-five years of lifespan.

Without much consideration, he directly chose the most special disease, "Cancer," feeling the terror within just from the name.

【Promote Disease—Cancer? Consumes two years of lifespan】

The cost of promoting Cancer was even double that of Sleeplessness, Deformity, and other diseases, indicating that there were also differences between the various diseases.

Ren Qing trembled all over, cancer cells beginning to spread, but the information stream forcibly held onto his life.

As a result, unknown distortions appeared in his body, his size becoming even more enormous.

Seeing that his lifespan consumption had increased greatly, he directly promoted Cancer to the level of a tree, consuming a full eight years of lifespan.

The remaining lifespan was poured into the Night Sweats disease in one go.

Peach Blossom Immortal's laughter came to an abrupt halt, an earthen mound suddenly rising in front of him, the buildings in the clinic collapsing and turning into ruins.

Immediately afterwards, the soil slipped, and the enormous monster underground gradually revealed its body.

It was an indescribable ape-like monster, draped in jet-black blood vessels like hair, growing three bizarre heads, the statue of the three-headed immortal growing on the central head.

Ren Qing reached a height of thirty meters, the aura he emitted absolutely exceeding the Ghost Envoy Realm.

Peach Blossom Immortal retreated several steps, saying incoherently, "You... how is it possible... how could a tree immortal..."

Breathing heavily, the originally suspended blood mist fell like peach blossoms, easily opening a hole in the wall.

But the petals couldn't hurt Ren Qing at all upon contact, as if a child was tickling him.

Ren Qing bent down, speaking in a hoarse tone, "Senior Brother, have you thought about what I asked you before?"

"I..."

Seeing that the other party's intelligence was deranged, and his own lifespan was already nearing exhaustion, he didn't hesitate any longer, deciding to beat him to death first.

His fist slammed down, directly sending Peach Blossom Immortal flying out.

Peach Blossom Immortal couldn't help but spit out blood, crashing into the rocks outside the town, the threat of death suppressing the fear in his heart.

He tore open his Taoist robe, the monkey face on his chest directly swallowing his head.

Peach Blossom Immortal transformed into a grotesque half-body ape, the aura of the strange object exposed without restraint, where could one see the original Longevity Immortal.

Feeling uneasy, his gaze glanced at Jin Chengxiang hiding in the bushes, preparing to use his flesh and blood to temporarily strengthen his strength.

Peach Blossom Immortal ran towards Jin Chengxiang on all fours, the latter frozen in place with fear, emitting a shrill scream from his mouth unconsciously.

Just as his arm reached for Jin Chengxiang, Unburied Town collapsed half a meter, spiderweb-like cracks spreading out.

A black shadow descended from the sky, directly smashing beside Peach Blossom Immortal.

The already small hill was leveled to the ground.

Peach Blossom Immortal was shaken three or four meters away, just at Ren Qing's chest and abdomen, struggling to exhale a long breath.

The peach blossoms formed a tornado, striking Ren Qing's shoulder, and a large part of his flesh was immediately ground away, even revealing the white bones.

Ren Qing's current lifespan couldn't support him for too long at all, so naturally he didn't care much about this body; it would be fine if it died.

He had no intention of defending at all, directly raising both arms above his head.

Peach Blossom Immortal's pupils constricted, his voice trembling as he said, "You can't kill me, I am a disciple of the Longevity Immortal, in charge of the world..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was greeted by fists as big as sandbags.

Ren Qing was able to experience how enjoyable it was for Song Zongwu to beat people up; the feeling of fists hitting flesh was not comparable to casting spells.

The Night Sweats disease brought lasting endurance, Sleeplessness was energy, and Deformity blessed the body.

Bang bang bang bang...

His arms formed a storm, and in his spare time, he threw Jin Chengxiang far away.

The reason for deliberately saving Jin Chengxiang's life was mainly because Ren Qing discovered that the official's dantian had been deliberately destroyed.

He should have practiced some kind of spell, possibly a system different from diseases and Longevity Species, using this to understand the Longevity Forbidden Zone.

Jin Chengxiang was still in disbelief before fainting; how could the immortal of immortality in his impression be so embarrassed in the hands of demons.

The flesh and blood on Peach Blossom Immortal's exterior was beaten into minced meat, but what was wrapped in the bones was not internal organs, but a mass of fresh strange objects.

The strange object also had facial features, staring at Ren Qing in horror.

Ren Qing swallowed, this body instinctively driven to devour the strange object, and it was intensifying.

The three-headed immortal statue on his head stretched out its arms, differentiating into countless roots that entangled the strange object in Peach Blossom Immortal's body.

As the strange object was absorbed, Ren Qing's lifespan began to skyrocket.

He directly spent it all on various diseases, his body immediately having a tendency to collapse, and even completely digesting the strange object couldn't stop it.

The Sleepless Disease Tree was promoted to Sleepless Disease Ghoul.

The disease had already approached substantialization in his body, increasingly like a strange object, and it was very likely that it would ultimately be a spell related to disease.

Ren Qing immediately understood in his heart that as long as he continued to hunt Longevity Species, he could rely on devouring strange objects to maintain his life.

He abandoned Peach Blossom Immortal's corpse, his legs exploding with strength and disappearing into Unburied Town.

Ren Qing couldn't find a Longevity Species in a short time, but because of the large number of promoted diseases, he would soon die from lifespan exhaustion.

He planned to find a more remote place to die again, so as not to affect the arrival of the new divided soul.

Ren Qing already had some ideas about refining magic weapons from the fungus tree; the most important thing for the next visit was to bring the strange object into the Longevity Forbidden Zone as well.

He also considered practicing a disease-related spell, even if it didn't constitute a primary or secondary spell, it could still be used as a secondary spell for the Ghost Shadow.

It felt like the characteristic of Ghost Shadow was that it embraced everything, and all spells could be integrated into it, but it would have some impact on the Dragon Snake Transformation.

The Ghost Shadow then followed with Jin Chengxiang, leaving behind a mess of Unburied Town.

Ren Qing tried not to leave traces of his path, and only couldn't hold on until dawn, falling to the ground, and soon his bones turned to ashes.

The main body opened its eyes, not having time to sort out the memories of the divided soul, and hurriedly summoned the information stream.

The temporary lifespan increased by three hundred years, plus his own hundred years, already approaching the five hundred years needed to advance to the Yin God Realm.

Ren Qing didn't dare to guarantee that the harvest in the Longevity Forbidden Zone would always be so rich, so he simply poured half of the peach wine into the Flesh and Blood Furnace.

The lifespan was barely over five hundred years.
