The Secret Way of Immortality

Compared to the imminent arrival of the Giant Corpse Buddha at Corpse Stench Hill, whether the Cishi people adapted or not was not of great importance.

However, Tang Sheng had lived in Dream City for a while.

After he came into contact with the Arhats under the Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva, he discovered that most of them were only intimidating in appearance and had no hostility towards the Cishi people.

Tang Sheng constantly reassured the rest of the Cishi people, dispelling the fear in their hearts.

After the past few days, the Cishi people became accustomed to the life of farming and fertilizing, which was not much different from the Heaven of the Thirty-three.

Tang Sheng, through the connections he had accumulated in Dream City, figured out the current situation.

First of all, the Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva, whose secular name was Ren Qing, and the world where the Heaven of the Thirty-three was located was actually the other party's stomach.

Tang Sheng did not have excessive doubts about Ren Qing's identity.

Of course, he also knew how to assess the situation. In such a situation, who the Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva was no longer mattered. What mattered was integrating into the Prison Guard Hall.

From the accent of the Prison Guard Hall's cultivators, it could be heard that they probably came from all over the world, indicating that Ren Qing did not reject outsiders.

However, if one could not integrate smoothly, one might become a member of the Buddha within Buddha.

Just as Tang Sheng was pondering countermeasures, the stomach suddenly shook violently, and the Giant Corpse Buddha's advance came to a halt.

It was not because the Giant Corpse Buddha was attacked, but because of the ground tremors outside.

Ren Qing sat cross-legged in the center of the stomach, with countless nerves connected to his body, allowing him to observe the outside world through insect eyes.

The Giant Corpse Buddha had arrived at the periphery of Corpse Stench Hill, and he could hear heavy collisions coming from inside, mixed with heart-wrenching roars.

Ren Qing couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He discovered that in the area permeated with corpse stench, the raised ground was not hills at all, but the corpses of enormous behemoths.

The corpses were covered with thick moss, and Ren Qing could only vaguely recognize that some were humanoid, while others were bestial.

The source of the corpse stench had nothing to do with the corpses, but the accumulated corpses would definitely increase the concentration.

Not to mention ordinary Yang Shen realm cultivators, even Ren Qing, who had mastered various life-saving techniques, did not have the confidence to stay in the corpse stench for a long time.

Currently, the Giant Corpse Buddha's legs had completed the transformation of magical artifacts, but the distortion was still far from enough.

If it were a sentient being, they would definitely choose to stay in the Corrosive Blood Plains for a few more days, but the Giant Corpse Buddha had no intelligence at all.

Bang… bang… bang…

The Giant Corpse Buddha stepped towards the area shrouded in corpse stench. Driven by instinct, it covered its entire body with flames.

Ren Qing hesitated, then activated the magical artifacts in various parts of the stomach.

The magical artifacts protected the most important parts of the stomach. The cultivators, including Li Tiangang, felt somewhat inexplicable about this.

Clearly there was no danger, and even if it was to prevent problems, there was no need to be so cautious...

Boom!!!

The flames caused a chain reaction the moment they came into contact with the corpse qi. The explosion blasted the Giant Corpse Buddha dozens of meters away, disfiguring it.

The stomach churned constantly, and the cultivators were thrown about. Many plants were destroyed as a result.

Fortunately, Ren Qing activated the magical artifacts beforehand, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.

Ren Qing ignored the noisy stomach. He was actually waiting for the Giant Corpse Buddha to be severely injured so that he could take advantage of the situation.

Buddha qi was very wary of existences that could threaten the Giant Corpse Buddha, but at the same time, it followed the principle of mutual benefit.

Ren Qing had also tried to accelerate the distortion of his skin these past few days, but as long as too many sclerotic disease strains were produced, the Buddha qi would show signs of abnormality.

Ren Qing thought of a way: to complete the distortion when the Giant Corpse Buddha was severely injured. In this way, his actions would be more beneficial than harmful.

Once Ren Qing had completely refined the Giant Corpse Buddha, his voice could compete with the Buddha qi, or even turn the tables.

Nightmare aura erupted.

The cultivators looked at Ren Qing in astonishment, especially Tang Sheng, who had come to check on the situation, his eyes filled with incredible surprise.

Most of Ren Qing's body had transformed into a Nightmare, and the distorted light and shadow seemed to be devouring darkness.

He was still probing the Buddha qi. Seeing that the Buddha forest had not become violent as a result, he stretched out his right arm and slowly performed the Taisui Sutra.

Li Tiangang and the other Yin Messenger realm cultivators looked at each other.

In Jingzhou, Ren Qing's Shadowless Ghost-related techniques had already advanced to the Yang Shen realm, and later he had shown the Yang Shen realm's world within his stomach.

And now…

This was the third type of Yang Shen realm technique?

No wonder True Man Da Meng and Song Zongwu thought Ren Qing was exceptionally talented. Even if a Heavenly Guile realm expert were alive, it would be nothing more than this.

When the Nightmare aura reached the Yang Shen realm, countless wriggling maggots appeared in the Nightmare-transformed flesh, and the latter was the manifestation of the sclerotic disease strains.

Tang Sheng couldn't help but have a complex expression, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

The flesh and blood of Ren Qing's arm began to collapse, and the light and shadow scattered, pouring into the flesh and blood of the Giant Corpse Buddha until it reached the skin layer.

He released all the thousands of disease strains contained in the sclerotic disease fruit, making the distortion of the Giant Corpse Buddha's skin more obvious.

The injuries to the Giant Corpse Buddha's legs were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It could be seen that its bones were mostly corroded by metallic luster in the blink of an eye, and the surface was covered with faint, complex moon patterns.

Ren Qing did not intend to stop, and released a massive amount of skin sense disease strains with his left hand.

The disease strains recklessly transformed the Giant Corpse Buddha, and even the Buddha qi assisted in the formation of the moon patterns, but only during the period of severe injury.

When the Giant Corpse Buddha's injuries recovered to the point where it did not affect its movements, the thousands of Imperishable Golden Bodies began to stir.

Ren Qing quickly put away the Taisui Sutra, and the Imperishable Golden Bodies returned to silence, appearing to others as if he was controlling the Buddha qi at will.

Tang Sheng was even more confused when he saw this.

Why were Ren Qing's methods so evil, yet he could still control Buddhist statues? Could it be that true Buddhist supernatural powers were like this?

He remembered the various techniques in the Great Dream Art Building. At that time, he only chose the most ordinary Vajra Body. Now it seemed that he was too cautious.

Roar!!!

The Giant Corpse Buddha roared and climbed up from the ground. Clearly, its upper body was covered with wounds, but its lower body had completely recovered.

It headed towards Corpse Stench Hill, but this time it did not use the Heart-Burning Method again.

The Giant Corpse Buddha's body crackled the moment it came into contact with the corpse qi, and then its legs emitted fluctuations of the Armor Plating Technique.

Bones drilled out from the joints, covering the body like vines.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

After a while, the Giant Corpse Buddha's body below the chest was covered with thick bone armor, and the Refined Skin realm cultivator's ability also began to adapt to the corrosiveness of the corpse qi.

However, the upper body was miserable, leaving only a thin layer of flesh on the skeleton, and the rest was gone in the erosion of the corpse qi.

Fortunately, for the Giant Corpse Buddha, the core was the Imperishable Golden Body in the stomach that contained the Buddha qi, not the head that did not even have a soul.

The cultivators came back to their senses, and then, at Li Tiangang's suggestion, they went about their business.

Ren Qing shook his head helplessly when he saw this. It was indeed strange to only complete the refining of half of the body, but the current situation required it.

Just as he was about to deal with the distortion of the heart, he suddenly frowned.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Ren Qing actually sensed living beings in the extremely desolate Corpse Stench Hill, and the number was not small.

He noticed that there were tens of thousands of figures in the distorted disease fruits on the diseased trees.

Ren Qing checked the dreams of the figures, and a large number of chaotic scenes flooded into his mind, all of which were scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of bones.

At this moment, the Giant Corpse Buddha passed by a huge corpse.

The corpse trembled, and the moss gradually fell off, revealing an extremely grotesque appearance, like an upside-down dead person.

Why say upside down? The positions of the corpse's hands and feet were completely opposite, and the position of the head was also moved to the right shoulder.

The movement caused a chain reaction, and the nearby corpses moved as if they were about to revive. For a time, Corpse Stench Hill shook.

Ren Qing noticed that regardless of whether they were beasts or humanoids, all the corpses' hands and feet were reversed.

They should have been facing the Dead Man's Forbidden Area when they were alive, but after death, their hands and feet reversed direction, as if they wanted to escape the area affected by the Forbidden Area.

Moreover, the corpses, whether human or beast, had extremely obvious characteristics.

How should I put it? Like the Guai beasts formed by swallowing the blood of prison guards, the corpses seemed to be the descendants of the bloodline of some powerful existence.

Puff…

A gap cracked in the corpse's abdomen, and thousands of living beings crawled out, very much like half-human, half-worm earthworms.

The earthworm people had ferocious faces, their bodies were boneless, they had many deformed hands and feet, and their skin was covered with viscous liquid. Green blood flowed from their facial features as they walked.

They frantically wanted to go to the Giant Corpse Buddha, but their flesh and blood were gradually dissolved.

The earthworm people knelt weakly on the ground, and their kind continued to pour out of the corpse, seemingly wanting to go to the Giant Corpse Buddha's body.

When they saw the heavily injured earthworm people, they actually took out long knives, directly chopped off their heads, carried them with them, and continued on their way.

However, even the Giant Corpse Buddha could hardly resist the corpse qi, let alone ordinary living beings.

The casualties of the earthworm people gradually increased. Unexpectedly, they chose to gather together, forming a meatball several meters in size, and moved quickly by rolling.

The earthworm people on the periphery were quickly corroded for the most part, but there would always be kind taking off their heads and sending them to the center of the meatball.

Under such circumstances, the earthworm people actually approached the Giant Corpse Buddha.

However, the Giant Corpse Buddha's legs were covered with bone armor. The earthworm people frantically climbed up, wanting to enter its stomach area from the navel.

After a few breaths, thousands of earthworm people turned into pus, and desperate roars echoed continuously.

The earthworm people's heads protected in the middle re-grew flesh and blood, turning into smaller earthworm people.

But in the end, they still ended up rotting.

Ren Qing's frowned brows relaxed.

Presumably, the earthworm people were also living beings similar to the cocoon people. They wanted to go to the Dead Man's Forbidden Area, so they also drilled into the bodies of the behemoths.

But the beasts and giants could not withstand the corrosion of the corpse qi, and the earthworm people were trapped in them.

The other living beings that Ren Qing sensed were likely the same situation, like a group of dead souls wanting to cross the Yellow Springs.

But what made him deeply puzzled was that the corpses of the behemoths, whose cultivation bases were at least in the Yang Shen realm when they were alive, what was their purpose?

It was impossible that they were like the Buddha qi, seeking something imprisoned in the Forbidden Area.

Assuming that was the case…

Ren Qing's face was bitter. How many indescribable Guai objects were loaded in the Dead Man's Forbidden Area? It was more appropriate to call it a prison than a forbidden area.
