The Secret Way of Immortality

Bang!!

Bang bang!!!

A mountain-like giant insect was heading towards Jingzhou, its upper body barely resembling the appearance of a beautiful woman, while its lower body was that of a maggot.

As it traveled, it was escorted by tens of thousands of Heavenly Dao Insectoids.

As the Broodmother of the Insect Hive in the Heavenly Gu Realm, she held the authority to command billions of insects. In the area known as the Insect Hive, she had carved out a unique ecosystem underground, worthy of being called a terrestrial deity.

The Broodmother rarely appeared on the surface. Even when transferring nests, it would usually be done underground.

Now, she was rushing to Jingzhou, clearly because the opportunity was too tempting to refuse, even for a Heavenly Gu Realm existence to risk their life.

In addition, to the southwest of Jingzhou, a dense Yin energy surged like a tsunami, turning any living being that came into contact with it into white bones.

A corpse dressed in brocade robes sat on the back of a bone elephant, Yin energy spewing from its mouth, spreading across a hundred miles.

The corpse's face could barely be made out, revealing that it was also a woman in life.

Her target was also Jingzhou, but it wasn't just these two Heavenly Gu Realm existences. At the same time, at least seven or eight forces showed signs of activity.

Ren Qing immediately sensed the strangeness. The forces attracted to Jingzhou seemed a bit too numerous.

There were some forces that he hadn't even informed about the situation in Jingzhou, yet they still mobilized all their members and came to wade through the muddy waters without hesitation.

"What kind of benefits are there that can attract Heavenly Gu Realm existences?"

A Celestial Position?

Ren Qing silently denied it in his heart. The War of Sealing Immortals had not yet begun, and the Celestial Position was currently a hot potato in the eyes of the Heavenly Gu Realm existences.

He pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. The Abyssal Prison Hall's foundation was still too shallow.

The various forces should have thousands of years of recorded literature, so they were certain that Jingzhou would be an opportunity, but the history of the Abyssal Prison Hall was only a few hundred years.

Ren Qing wanted to use dreams to probe for information, but unfortunately, the Yang Soul Realm's Podiatric Art would definitely have limited effect on Heavenly Gu Realm existences.

Boom boom boom…

Sanxiang City suddenly shook violently, cracks appearing on the city walls as massive numbers of maggots burrowed out of the soil, covering every part of the city.

Immediately afterwards, dense insect silk covered the buildings, and the Insect Hive's unique True Energy permeated the air.

One by one, Heavenly Dao Insectoids burrowed out from outside the city, their cultivation levels generally at the Yin Official Realm. As soon as they appeared, they began to spit out mucus from their mouths.

Ren Qing stood on the city wall and narrowed his eyes. The Insect Hive's actions seemed to be transforming the environment.

The same was true for the other towns in Jingzhou. Those forces occupying the towns actually reacted by making the environment more suitable for themselves.

"Interesting…"

Ren Qing stepped on Ghost Shadow, and a deep dragon roar immediately echoed within the city.

The Heavenly Dao Insectoids became suspicious and uncertain, stopping their actions and then letting out unintelligible roars, causing more of their kind to gather.

In just a few breaths, Sanxiang City was surrounded by thousands of Heavenly Dao Insectoids, including several Yang Soul Realm Heavenly Dao Insectoids.

As for the Human Insects, they didn't even have the qualifications to come to the surface and could only do the hard labor of excavating.

The leader of the Heavenly Dao Insectoids, named "Celestial Dome Daoist", had a cultivation level at the Yang Soul Realm Completion and was the Insect Hive's cultivator in charge of Sanxiang City.

Celestial Dome Daoist's face was grave. Sanxiang City's location in Jingzhou was very ingenious.

It was close to the outer perimeter of Jingzhou and was the southernmost, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The rainforest behind it could continuously produce a large number of Gu insects.

Although the Insect Hive had already controlled more than a dozen towns, the importance of Sanxiang City was still beyond doubt.

Celestial Dome Daoist threatened: "Fellow Daoist, leave Sanxiang City as soon as possible. The Insect Hive has already hollowed out the underground. Even if you control it, it will be useless."

"If you insist on doing so, when the Broodmother descends, the Insect Hive will raze Xiangxiang to the ground."

The dragon roar grew louder and louder, and the air was filled with a fishy smell. Even the Insect Hive's True Energy became weaker because of it.

Celestial Dome Daoist's face was fierce, and he opened his mouth to spit out a thick black smoke, covering the area around the city walls, causing the insect silk to spread even faster.

The black smoke could vaguely be seen to be composed of countless beetles, frantically burrowing into the walls, even merging with the bricks.

The other Heavenly Dao Insectoids did not dare to interfere, after all, the Insect Hive's hierarchy was extremely clear.

They all felt that the other party's tolerance of Celestial Dome Daoist's actions meant that he was already afraid, so they prepared to spread insect eggs throughout the city.

At this moment, Celestial Dome Daoist suddenly stopped casting his spells.

He looked at the top of the city wall with a look of surprise and uncertainty, not knowing when a figure had appeared.

It had the head of a dragon and the body of a human, with a long dragon tail swaying behind it. Its silver-gray eyes carried a terrifying sense of oppression.

At the same time as Ren Qing appeared, he could feel that the Heavenly Gu Realm existences of several forces were looking at Sanxiang City with scrutiny.

"I heard that you have already hollowed out the underground?"

"What about now?!"

Ren Qing stepped into the air, and then lightning flashed in mid-air. Amidst the howling wind, large patches of dark clouds enveloped Xiangxiang.

He transformed into a half-human, half-dragon, his size instantly exceeding a hundred meters.

"Retreat quickly, there is a Celestial Being!!"

Celestial Dome Daoist quickly ordered the Heavenly Dao Insectoids to stay away from Ren Qing. The other party's Heavenly Gu Realm aura was even stronger than the Broodmother's.

Ren Qing stepped on the ground, and the sound of rocks collapsing immediately echoed. Sanxiang City sank several meters, and the Heavenly Dao Insectoids closer to him were reduced to unrecognizable minced meat in one blow.

The Insect Hive was indeed a race that excelled at digging holes, and the underground had indeed been hollowed out.

Ren Qing sent Ghost Shadow to the underground, and then it spat out a large amount of soil, filling the gaps dug by the Insect Hive people, stopping the collapse of Sanxiang City.

He didn't let go of the thousands of Human Insects inside, and all of them were taken into the Stomach World.

As long as they had a Gu insect-related spell, the Human Insects could unleash their potential and at least establish their own civilization in the Stomach World.

Ren Qing lowered his head, his dragon head of dozens of meters staring at Celestial Dome Daoist.

He did not choose to continue hiding, because the current situation in Jingzhou seemed to be about occupying towns and waiting for opportunities to arrive.

Celestial Dome Daoist only felt unparalleled fear, his body trembling uncontrollably. He noticed out of the corner of his eye that his Yin Official Realm clansmen were already showing signs of losing control of their bodies and souls under his dragon might.

"I am Celestial Dome Daoist under the command of the Insect Hive's Bloodbat Broodmother…"

Ren Qing didn't even need to take action. Ghost Shadow alone caused Celestial Dome Daoist to let out a shrill scream, and the surrounding Heavenly Dao Insectoids trembled.

After a few breaths, only Celestial Dome Daoist's empty shell remained. Ghost Shadow devoured his flesh and bones, and also took his soul to the Stomach World.

Ren Qing restored his image of a two-meter-tall dragon-headed human. The remaining Heavenly Dao Insectoids felt that the restraints had disappeared.

They stumbled and drove their magical artifacts away from Sanxiang City, but before they could fly far, the True Energy in their bodies was already out of control.

Immediately afterwards, the blood rain from the explosion of the Heavenly Dao Insectoids fell towards the jungle with a rustling sound.

Ren Qing opened his mouth and sucked, and the sky full of thunderclouds returned to his abdomen. Such free and easy use of spells showed that he was not new to the Heavenly Gu Realm.

"Heavenly Court… Four Seas Dragon King."

He said in a deep voice, his voice surging in the air with the wind. Any force paying attention to Sanxiang City could hear it.

Ren Qing's thunderous methods directly shocked the remaining forces.

All kinds of probing methods disappeared in Xiangxiang. Obviously, the remaining forces had defaulted to Ren Qing occupying such a large area.

After hearing this, Feng Kongren moved towards Xiangxiang along the outer perimeter of Jingzhou without hesitation.

After a long absence, Feng Kongren had changed into a magical robe similar to a Daoist robe according to the statue of Bo Qiang, the Wind God of the Little Heavenly Court, with the name of the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department embroidered on the back.

The words "Heavenly Court" had only just begun to emerge through the dream of the Matchmaker Immortal, but now it was undoubtedly throwing a boulder into a calm lake.

A force that had never been heard of before suddenly produced two Heavenly Gu Realm existences.

According to the various forces' investigations into Feng Kongren, the origin of this race was very strange. They even claimed to be descendants of ancient immortals.

What did the Four Seas Dragon King represent?

Although Ren Qing was wearing the guise of the Four Seas Dragon King, he still intended to use Jingzhou as a rehearsal for the War of Sealing Immortals, allowing the Abyssal Prison Hall to try to fight against other forces.

He first brought the cultivators of the Cocoon Meridian to the outside world.

The Yin Official Realm's Sen Sheng was like a giant rock, with hundreds of layers of human skin protecting himself to the extreme, making it difficult to injure him with ordinary spells.

The number of Cocoon People, through reproduction, had barely exceeded ten thousand, with the main force of cultivators being around three thousand, all with cultivation levels above the Ghost Envoy Realm.

Ren Qing cast Dragon Roar in a Box, and the Cocoon People began to show dragon-like characteristics.

Their bodies were covered with scales, and a single horn grew on their foreheads, exuding the aura of dragons.

Among the various branches of the Abyssal Prison Hall, the Cocoon People were the most suitable for dragonification, because their skins were independent of each other, and dragon blood would not affect their foundations.

Ren Qing only transformed the outermost twenty layers of the Cocoon People's skin into dragon skin, while Sen Sheng had a hundred layers, and the increase in power was beyond imagination.

Next was the Ying Meridian, led by Han Li.

The Netherworld Heavenly Insect Art they cultivated was an attachment to Ghost Shadow. After the Ancestral Meridian was formed, the insect roots showed certain dragon-like characteristics.

Especially when running the Netherworld Heavenly Insect Art, their bodies would be covered with black scales.

Twenty to thirty thousand disciples of the Non-Action Daoist Temple drove their magical artifacts and floated in mid-air.

"Greetings, Ancestral Master!!"

Ren Qing helplessly looked at Han Li. It was probably the latter who instructed the Daoist Temple disciples to do this. He estimated that he didn't know that the fate of the Ancestral Masters of the Abyssal Prison Hall was to be shattered to pieces.

The Daoist Temple disciples maintained the operation of the Nether Profound, keeping their bodies in a half-dragon state.

Finally, it was the Demon Meridian's turn. They were usually demons transformed from lizards, fish, and shrimp, and their numbers were not much less than the Daoist Temple disciples.

Ren Qing had Hu Wen ask them, and they were all cultivators who felt that they could not be promoted and were willing to let dragon blood contaminate their physiques.

"Greetings, Demon Immortal."

Dragon Roar in a Box acted on the demons, and each of them only felt unbearable pain, tearing at their skin and revealing the characteristics of a true dragon.

After the dragonification was completed, tens of thousands of demons turned into half-dragons more than three meters tall, their bloodlines directly crossing the Kui worm and reaching the level of the Jiaolong snake.

It could be seen that Ren Qing had paid a considerable price, and the dragon blood in his body was somewhat depleted.

The three branches had already known in advance that Jingzhou would cause the Gu insects of the bizarre objects to transform, so they were not panicked and stood in place waiting for instructions.

"Each branch will send people to garrison the towns, transform the dragon blood ecology according to the plan, and remember not to stray far from the divided area."

After hearing this, the branches immediately set off to various places, and the remaining forces had an unspeakable fear of the Heavenly Court's strength.

"Han Li."

"Disciple is here."

"Come with me and receive the Heavenly Court's colleagues."

[Gu Zhenren will also appear.]
