The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing then calmed down, realizing that the Corpse Mirror was not as simple as it seemed.

Although the "Immortal in the Mirror" was exceptionally powerful, it didn't mean there was no limit to it. If the caster was merely at the Heavenly Aberrant Realm, it shouldn't have any effect on the Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva.

Could it be that *** has already become an immortal and attained the Dao?

Ren Qing couldn't help but deny it inwardly, his eyes scrutinizing the corpse soaring into the sky.

The corpse's abdomen was hollowed out, but there wasn't a trace of decay in the flesh, indicating that its cultivation before death was far beyond imagination, so after being refined into a Corpse Mirror, it could achieve such a degree.

According to Ren Qing's estimation, the corpse was at least once an Earth Immortal.

With ***'s vast神通, he could travel to even the most dangerous areas silently, and obtaining resources would be easy.

Ren Qing even suspected that *** might have already been to the heartland of many forces, and with the cooperation of various spells, it was like entering an uninhabited place.

A celestial corpse shouldn't be difficult for *** to obtain.

It was just a pity that the celestial corpse had been completely refined into a Corpse Mirror, so it was not realistic for Ren Qing to learn the specific situation through the information stream.

Ren Qing actually had some guesses about ***'s purpose.

He turned the world inside the mirror into a place similar to a refuge, imprisoning those lingering existences, perhaps for the sake of longevity.

*** wanted to use other cultivators above the Heavenly Aberrant Realm to understand by analogy.

Ren Qing couldn't help but admire ***'s methods.

If it were him, when his lifespan was about to run out, even if he knew that the world inside the mirror was arranged by a certain cultivator, he would resolutely go inside to prolong his life.

The Corpse Mirror was a complete and utter overt plot, one willing to hit, the other willing to be hit.

Ren Qing's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. If that was the case, could there be secrets to becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao hidden in the world inside the mirror?

It took him a long time to calm down.

After all, Ren Qing possessed the information stream. From the beginning, he had already determined the path to immortality. Only immortality was what he should pursue.

He did have the idea of exploring the world inside the mirror, but he was not in a hurry.

A dozen or so dream flower-transformed pupils appeared on Ren Qing's forehead, and he slowly walked around the Corpse Mirror to complete the transcription of the Scripture of the Dead. Strange and inexplicable characters were recorded by him.

The characters were distorted and disordered. Even Ren Qing couldn't recognize the meaning of the characters.

If the information stream hadn't confirmed that its content was indeed the incomplete Scripture of the Dead, Ren Qing would have thought it was a refining pattern similar to the moon pattern.

Ren Qing assumed that the reason why Yu Hua Zhenren contacted Tai Han Zhenren was also to identify the characters.

To complete the Scripture of the Dead, he first had to figure out the meaning of the characters, otherwise, trying to figure it out word by word would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Seeing this, he asked Yu Hua Zhenren to inquire about information about the characters.

As for whether Tai Han Zhenren was recruited into the Imp Jail, Ren Qing didn't actually force it, mainly because he didn't want to be too deeply involved with the insect nest.

Ren Qing learned the strength of the insect nest from Yu Hua Zhenren. Apart from not having Earth Immortals, the number of Yang God Realm existences far exceeded the Imp Jail.

Although the flaws of the Insect Nest Method made becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao a luxury, with the blessing of a long lifespan, Heavenly Aberrant Realms were still born.

In the insect nest, the Yang God Realm was called "Insect Mother", whose duty was to guide the low-realm Heavenly Dao Insect People and make the branches stronger.

After the Insect Mother broke through to the Heavenly Aberrant Realm, she became the "Matriarch" in the insect nest.

Yu Hua Daoist couldn't contact the Matriarch at all, but he guessed from the strength of each branch that there were at least three of them.

The cultivation of the Insect Nest Method didn't require as much complexity as the Imp Jail, so advancement was naturally more convenient.

Of course, Imp Jail cultivators of the same realm were far stronger than Heavenly Dao Insect People, which could be regarded as having advantages and disadvantages.

Since the insect nest dispatched a large number of cultivators to be stationed in the Dead Man's Forbidden Zone, it meant that an Insect Mother had entered the world inside the mirror.

Ren Qing was glad that he didn't expose himself. Tai Han Zhenren only knew about a nonexistent "Blessed Earth Immortal". How could he associate it with the remote Xiang Township and the unknown Imp Jail.

Give the Imp Jail another hundred years, and its strength will definitely become more terrifying than the insect nest.

The potential of the Imp Jail was gradually being transformed into strength. There were more and more Yin Messenger Realms, the Corpse Ghosts returning to the Yang God Realm was only a matter of time, and Li Yaoyang also had the hope of advancing to the Yang God Realm.

Even Li Tiangang, whose cultivation had stagnated, had at least a 30% chance of breaking through the bottleneck as long as he swallowed the Natal Golden Pill.

However, the Natal Golden Pill was fused with Lingxiao Daoist's soul, so there was definitely a risk of failure.

And once the Natal Golden Pill was digested, Lingxiao Daoist's true body would leave the world inside the mirror, and who knows what would happen.

Ren Qing didn't tell Li Tiangang for the time being, but checked the Natal Golden Pill in his spare time to see if he could avoid the disadvantages.

He knew that Li Tiangang would definitely not miss the opportunity to advance to the Yang God Realm, but if the latter died because of this, it would have a significant impact on the Imp Jail.

Ren Qing shook his head and continued to transcribe the Scripture of the Dead. The characters had been combined into a thick book, several times that of an ordinary Imp Jail Method.

He also found that the characters on the upper half of the corpse were becoming more and more illegible.

It seemed that when *** was engraving the characters, his mental state was on the verge of collapse due to some unknown reason.

Even if Ren Qing didn't recognize the meaning, he could still guess that some of the repetitive sentences inside were likely ***'s soliloquy.

This reminded him of the hastily created Corpse Refining Method, which was due to the drawbacks of the Scripture of the Dead.

Ren Qing stared at the Corpse Mirror like a madman, seemingly able to feel ***'s mental state, and even he himself was indirectly affected.

Unconsciously, he became immersed in it, and then came within a hundred meters of the Corpse Mirror, sitting among the swarms of carrion insects and staring at the Scripture of the Dead.

Soon, more than half a month passed.

During this period, the town seemed extremely peaceful, perhaps because of Ren Qing's show of force, which prevented other forces from coming to make trouble again.

When Ren Qing came back to his senses, he was actually standing in the hollow of the corpse's abdomen, instinctively wanting to set foot in the world inside the mirror.

Fortunately, the ghost shadows wrapped around his feet and stimulated his flesh with the Heavenly Dao Insect's Youyuan.

Ren Qing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. As a Yang God Realm existence, he had the illusion that his body and soul were no longer under control when facing the corpse of a dead immortal.

He stared at the deep and boundless darkness in front of him, which was the world inside the mirror.

The surroundings were covered with puddles of blood. Although it dripped from the immortal's corpse, there was no value in collecting it.

There were more than a dozen skeletons in the blood, completely becoming the breeding ground for carrion insects.

Ren Qing checked and found that the skeletons were from the batch of cultivators who went to the world inside the mirror back then. They should have been affected by the Corpse Mirror and killed each other. Most of them died at the hands of their comrades.

"If... I let the Mushroom Soul go to the world inside the mirror, can I use it to figure out the situation?"

The thoughts that arose in Ren Qing's heart were difficult to suppress. For him, the world inside the mirror might be able to harvest opportunities comparable to the Scripture of the Dead.

He pondered for a long time, and finally decided to give it a try.

However, to be on the safe side, Ren Qing planned to check the unknown memory first.

His consciousness came to the Longevity Forbidden Zone through the Dream City, and then controlled the roots of the Longevity Tree to dig out the artifact-transformed main brain.

Ren Qing looked at the still lifelike main brain and contacted Mu Yi in the town.

He asked Mu Yi to find a Ghost Envoy Realm cultivator whose spells were related to the soul, and told him in advance the advantages and disadvantages of the memory.

Since he needed to bear the risk, he would naturally receive extremely rich rewards.

The rewards were enough to support the Ghost Envoy Realm cultivator to complete three strange transformations. If he was lucky, he could even try to advance to the Yin Messenger Realm.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the danger contained in the task, but there must be brave men under heavy reward.

In just half a day, hundreds of Ghost Envoy Realm cultivators took on the task, and Mu Yi selected a cultivator whose spells involved the soul.

The cultivator came to the Longevity Tree nervously, saw Ren Qing's face appearing on the tree trunk, and Wang Ling who was cleaning the fallen leaves.

As Ren Qing's nominal sister, since the clone left the Longevity Forbidden Zone, she had been specially responsible for taking care of the Longevity Tree.

For her, the Longevity Tree was Wang Shanlu himself.

Ren Qing used the tree roots to hold up the main brain and placed it in front of the cultivator.

"Senior Ren Qing, allow me to prepare for a while."

The cultivator took a deep breath, then took out several borrowed magical artifacts from his arms to protect his soul, and finally picked up the main brain.

He trembled and touched the main brain with his palm, and his soul immediately left his body.

The cultivator's soul came into the main brain and soon noticed the memory in it, and at the same time found that Ren Qing had arranged a lot of methods to prevent accidents.

He couldn't help but regret it, but after thinking about the resources of the task, he calmed down.

The soul absorbed the memory, and strange and inexplicable pictures appeared in his mind, causing the blue veins on his forehead to burst out involuntarily.

After a while, the cultivator opened his eyes, his eyes filled with shock.

"Senior Ren, I saw... um... a dark place, with things hanging upside down inside..."

"Forget it, I'll see it myself."

Ren Qing shook his head, the dream flower fell on the cultivator's brow, extracted the memory from the soul, and erased the information about the world inside the mirror along the way.

"Go find Mu Yi to collect the resources."

After he finished speaking, he left the Longevity Forbidden Zone, but he didn't take the dream flower with him.

The dream flower protected Wang Ling's body and soul, at least ensuring that she lived a long life, and also blessed the cultivation and comprehension of body skills.

Ren Qing's consciousness returned to his body, and he couldn't wait to check the memory.

The memory was only a few breaths long. It should be when Lingxiao Daoist first came to the world inside the mirror, and was in the buffer zone between the Corpse Mirror and the outside world.

After reaching the world inside the mirror, it seemed that everything was reversed. The positions of the internal organs were exchanged, and the left and right hands were the same.

Ren Qing had used the dream flower to check the remaining memory of the giant corpse Buddha.

At that time, he saw countless corpses hanging upside down in the air.

The giant corpse Buddha's understanding of this was the Dead Man's Forbidden Zone, but after he really set foot in the forbidden zone, he didn't notice similar scenes.

Now he finally knew that the place where the upside-down corpses were was actually the world inside the mirror.

It seemed that after going to the world inside the mirror, they would become a member of the upside-down corpses, waiting for the substitute from the outside world to die before they could break free.

The number of corpses was extremely exaggerated. The last scene was Lingxiao Daoist being suspended in mid-air.

Ren Qing keenly noticed that there seemed to be traces of people living in the world inside the mirror. Not surprisingly, it must be that ***.

He licked his lips, it seemed that the world inside the mirror was indeed profitable.

Maybe he could find a complete version of the Scripture of the Dead, so he wouldn't have to go to the trouble of completing the content, or spells related to the Disaster Elimination Method.

There's one more chapter, wait a moment
