The Secret Way of Immortality

The Buddhas chanted the name of the Lingshan Tathagata.

In just a few days, Ren Qing had already taken control of the Small Buddha Heaven in the deep world.

However, on the surface, the Small Buddha Heaven remained unchanged, maintaining its status quo, so it did not attract the attention of the Great Buddha Heaven.

The hundreds of thousands of monks in the Small Buddha Heaven naturally changed their faith, showing how the Flesh Body Tathagata can subtly influence living beings.

In the center of each Mahavira Hall, there stood a statue made of flesh and blood, and the monks knelt on the ground with fanatical expressions.

The Great Buddha Heaven was focused on the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas and did not go to the Small Buddha Heaven at all, otherwise they would have been shocked by the bizarre scenes in the temples.

Ren Qing closed his eyes and waited, as the day of the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas gradually approached.

Suddenly, through the Flesh Body Tathagata, he sensed some fluctuations in the Small Buddha Heaven, clearly originating from chaotic and disordered spells.

“I thought they didn't care about the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas at all.”

With a slight thought, Ren Qing set the entire Small Buddha Heaven into motion secretly.

Outside a temple called "Buddha Seal Temple", the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the wind howled, as if the souls of the dead were screaming.

The monks of Buddha Seal Temple were on high alert, but were soon appeased by the Buddha.

After receiving instructions from the Flesh Body Tathagata, the Buddhas acted according to plan, and the temple with tens of thousands of people became orderly.

The fluctuations of the spells became more and more intense, clearly exceeding the scope of the Heavenly Gu Realm.

Blood gathered out of thin air, then formed a skeleton, and then flesh and blood began to grow, and a terrifying aura swept over.

Ren Qing was very familiar with this, it was clear that a cultivator had ascended to the deep world.

Not only Buddha Seal Temple, but also three or four temples encountered the same situation at the same time.

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes and quickly came up with a way to deal with it, planning to use the situation to his advantage, and immediately ordered the Buddhas to act.

“Roar!!!”

The cultivator finally completely descended into the deep world, but from the body, it could be seen that the limbs and organs had different degrees of distortion.

His skin and flesh were covered with decay, and a large number of maggots wriggled in the sores.

The maggots were actually dense Gu worms, and the cultivator should have ascended to the deep world by using the Gu worms to parasitize him.

The cultivator shook his arms, and a swollen head showed a thoughtful expression, then he murmured: "I am... Qingxiao Taoist..."

Obviously, there were drawbacks, the Gu worms blurred Qingxiao Taoist's intelligence, and his body and soul were alienated to varying degrees.

Qingxiao Taoist looked around, as if trying to recall something.

But the incompleteness of his memory caused his mood to become more and more chaotic, and he kept hitting the rock wall with his head, blood splattering everywhere.

Qingxiao Taoist mutilated himself for a long time, and the pain stimulated his body and soul.

He also regained some sanity because of this, and couldn't help but look greedily at the southwest corner, where the Buddha Seal Temple was located.

“Eat eat eat…”

A crack opened in the chest and abdomen of Qingxiao Taoist, and then formed a huge mouth, and a narrow tongue licked the sores.

The spells he mastered were relatively special, and he could restore his injuries by devouring corpses.

Although he had little intelligence left, his instinct still drove the spells, making Qingxiao Taoist full of unspeakable desire for flesh and blood.

Qingxiao Taoist walked towards Buddha Seal Temple, and the mountains and forests shook.

While walking, maggots kept falling from the wound, and under the influence of the Immortal Position rules, they turned into Buddhas in the Ghost Envoy Realm.

The souls of the ancient monks had just seized the bodies of the Buddhas, and before they could figure out the situation, they were rolled up by Qingxiao Taoist's tongue and stuffed directly into his mouth to chew.

The autonomous operation of the spells allowed his injuries to recover a lot, and the speed of his steps became faster and faster, and he arrived at Buddha Seal Temple in just a moment.

To Qingxiao Taoist's surprise, Buddha Seal Temple was peaceful.

The sound of chanting scriptures could be heard, but the streets and alleys were extremely empty, as if all the monks were concentrated in the Mahavira Hall.

Qingxiao Taoist did not hesitate at all, broke through the city wall and went into the city.

Countless buildings collapsed, and in an instant, Buddha Seal Temple had been reduced to ruins, but he did not find any trace of the monks.

Qingxiao Taoist vented his anger wantonly, almost destroying the town.

Finally, when he stepped into the Mahavira Hall, all he saw were dozens of monks, knocking on wooden fish.

The monks were not afraid of Qingxiao Taoist, for them, even if they died because of this, they could go to the Western Paradise.

Qingxiao Taoist was stunned for a moment, how could a temple with tens of thousands of people have less than a hundred people left.

A gust of wind blew through the hall, the candlelight flickered, and the shadows twisted constantly.

Qingxiao Taoist's tongue immediately stabbed at the monks, but the shadows wrapped the monks at this time, and then disappeared.

The ghost shadow quietly drilled out of the Mahavira Hall, causing Qingxiao Taoist to pounce into the air.

Qingxiao Taoist became angry and destroyed the Mahavira Hall by waving his limbs, and struck the statue of Lingshan Tathagata with his tongue.

At this time, the aura of living people appeared outside the city.

He ran madly towards the monks, unaware that he was facing the direction of the Great Buddha Heaven.

All the cultivators who ascended to the deep world were divided into two categories by Ren Qing: those who had no intelligence and could be used at will; those who still had intelligence and were mainly used for delaying.

When the cultivators came to the temples in the Small Buddha Heaven, they would find that they were empty.

In fact, Ren Qing took the opportunity to take all the hundreds of thousands of people in the Small Buddha Heaven into the Western Buddha Realm, and encouraged some cultivators to go to the Great Buddha Heaven.

Qingxiao Taoist's figure was soon discovered by the Great Buddha Heaven, and several Bodhisattvas immediately took action to suppress him, and no matter how hard he struggled, he became a withered bone under the influence of the Buddha's aura.

The Great Buddha Heaven immediately noticed the abnormality of the Small Buddha Heaven, and without exception, there were no monks in the temples.

Even if only a few temples were destroyed, they would not associate it with the Lingshan Tathagata at all, and would only think that it was done by extraterrestrial demons.

The cultivators who retained their intelligence realized that they had been used as pawns by others, but they knew that no matter how they explained, the Buddhas would not believe it.

They were destined to suffer in silence.

The first batch of five ascended cultivators were easily killed by Ren Qing in this way.

The Great Buddha Heaven became turbulent, and the loss of hundreds of thousands of people was no joke, and it could shake the foundation of Buddhism.

Ren Qing's main body was lying flat in the Dragon Blood Sea, and his clone was lying flat in the Great Buddha Heaven.

He inadvertently stirred up the situation in the deep world, taking all the benefits for himself, while the ascended cultivators bore the blame.

He took the opportunity to plan the Western Buddha Realm, and released a mission in Dream City to refine large temple magic weapons.

Ren Qing brought the Buddhas into the Western Buddha Realm, but their bodies, without the support of the Immortal Position rules, turned into ordinary strange objects.

The souls of the ancient monks were repelled from their bodies and turned into lonely ghosts.

Ren Qing took the souls of the ancient monks to the Yellow Springs of the Underworld, watching them throw themselves into the spring water and gradually transform into Nether Souls.

To say the least, the souls of the ancient monks were indeed a bit special, and they could still maintain a trace of clarity under the erosion of death energy.

The proportion of intelligent Nether Souls they formed was extremely high.

It is impossible to see their potential for the time being, but Ren Qing believes that as long as the number of Nether Souls increases, it will not be long before he can create a system of Soul Cultivation.

The ecology of the Underworld will also be richer.

He settled hundreds of thousands of monks in the Western Buddha Realm, built temples around the Flesh Body Tathagata, and the incense was very prosperous.

Some monks have already been eroded by the Buddha's aura of the Flesh Body Tathagata, and have a certain degree of Buddhist cultivation, barely reaching the Martial Human Realm.

Only when monks possess the Ghost Envoy Realm can they gain a foothold in Lingshan.

It can be seen that the Flesh Body Tathagata is somewhat similar to the Tathagata Buddha in a certain sense. The monks are like the Flesh Body Tathagata's Buddha sons, and can help refine the Buddha's aura.

Hundreds of thousands of monks purify the Buddha's aura of the Flesh Body Tathagata, and even the digestion of Karma Fire has different degrees of assistance.

It is difficult to imagine what kind of supernatural powers the Flesh Body Tathagata will produce after reaching the Earth Immortal Realm. Can it really enlighten living beings into Buddhas?

However, the Flesh Body Tathagata is far from the Earth Immortal Realm, and how to advance is still a problem.

Although the Immortal Position rules of Jing Prefecture can create a large number of pseudo-Buddhas, it is extremely rare to break through the Heavenly Gu Realm with this, and to go further, one can only focus on the Fruit Position Buddhas.

Ren Qing was a little headache, the Buddhas who can reach the Bodhisattva Fruit Position are more difficult to deal with than the other, and it is not easy to find their traces.

Just when he was planning the Western Buddha Realm, a dozen Heavenly Gu Realm Bodhisattvas set off again.

Mainly because of the upcoming pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas, they will never allow extraterrestrial demons to affect the ceremony, so they want to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

The newly ascended extraterrestrial demons have completely become rats crossing the street in the deep world.

They simply hated the cultivator who laid out the Small Buddha Heaven so much that their teeth itched. If they didn't know who did it, they would have found a way to kill him long ago.

If they keep delaying in the Small Buddha Heaven, then there is no chance at all.

Madam White Bone and other cultivators did not choose to intervene, after all, it could reduce some competitors.

Ren Qing began to increase the number of dispatches to the Inner World, and about a hundred Forbidden Corps cultivators descended, secretly searching for Gu worms.

Among them, Gu Zhenren was the most crazy, and he could catch more than a dozen Gu worms every day.

He knew that time was running out. If he could not obtain enough resources before the Heavenly Court withdrew, his future path of cultivation would only be difficult.

However, Gu Zhenren has already received Li Yaoyang's verbal recognition. If there are no accidents, he should follow the latter to practice Gu refinement.

Ren Qing did not have the energy to pay attention to the Inner World, because the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas was about to begin.

The temples of the Great Buddha Heaven asked the monks participating in the ceremony to prepare, and the number of Buddhas traveling with them was reduced by one-third, almost all of whom were encircling and suppressing extraterrestrial demons in the Small Buddha Heaven.

When the Fude Tathagata preached, the team had already gathered on the open space of the Mahavira Hall.

The team consisted of only a hundred monks, wearing brocade kasayas, adorned with gold, silver, jade, and jewels, each of them was wide and fat.

As the culprit, Ren Qing swaggered in the team, and was still dressed as an ordinary Taoist.

Daoist Pig was a little helpless, and even had a deep sense of absurdity.

Including Daoist Mu She, they all put on kasayas, for fear of being noticed by the Buddhas, but Ren Qing did the opposite.

In the Mahavira Hall where monks were piled up, there was a Taoist mixed in. How confident was the Polaris Lord to do this.

Daoist Pig was even more curious about the spells practiced by the Polaris Lord, which could change the cognition of others. I am afraid that the upper limit can reach at least Dao Sheng Yi.

There should be a lot of spell inheritance left in the Heavenly Court, and what is revealed is only the tip of the iceberg.

He couldn't help but shudder. The Heavenly Court's visit to Deep Jing Prefecture should not be for opportunities. The specific plan is frightening to think about.

Ren Qing turned to Tang Sheng and asked, "Tang Sheng, are you sure you want to travel with us?"

Tang Sheng nodded affirmatively. He still cherished the opportunity to broaden his knowledge, and it was not necessarily safe to stay in the temple.

He had only been in the Great Buddha Heaven for a few months, but his cultivation had reached the bottleneck of releasing Yin Gods. Presumably, after approaching the Fude Tathagata, the efficiency of Vajra Body cultivation would be faster.

Ren Qing nodded, and let the ghost shadow separate part of his body to possess Tang Sheng. If he encountered danger, he would pull him into the stomach world.

Of course, regardless of whether Tang Sheng was willing or not, Ren Qing would let him leave the deep world when he was almost approaching the Fude Tathagata.

Tang Sheng's presence in the Great Buddha Heaven was actually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Before long, he will be able to reach the Yin God Release in the Yin Difference Realm, which means that he is only a step away from the Yang God Realm.

Ren Qing naturally hopes that more of the new generation of Forbidden Corps cultivators will break through to the Yang God Realm, laying the foundation for the future Heavenly Gu Realm.

How dare Daoist Pig have any objections, he stood aside honestly.

Daoist Mu She was completely doing his job. Although he learned about the opportunities in Jing Prefecture from Daoist Pig, he only wanted to figure out the memories of his previous life and master the Ba Snake Ode and the Snake Molting Method.

The atmosphere was slightly silent until the Buddha sitting in the temple opened his eyes.

The Buddha's name was "Hundred Wisdom Bodhisattva". His physical characteristic was that his neck was extremely long, and it was covered with organs similar to the human brain, which looked extremely deformed and terrifying.

Even in the Heavenly Gu Realm, the Hundred Wisdom Bodhisattva can be regarded as a leader, comparable to the Dao Sheng Yi in the Heavenly Gu Realm, and his strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Daoist Pig's heart beat wildly, and he stared at Ren Qing with the corner of his eye.

Even though Ren Qing looked calm, facing the Hundred Wisdom Bodhisattva still made Daoist Pig panic instinctively.

However, the expected thing did not happen. The Hundred Wisdom Bodhisattva swept over the hundred monks and ignored Ren Qing, who was wearing a Taoist robe.

“Amitabha.”

“You can set off to worship the Fude Tathagata.”

The Hundred Wisdom Bodhisattva showed compassion, and then released a cloud of mist from his palm, lifting the monks up, and then got up to accept the worship of the people.

The monks chanted scriptures loudly and bowed down on the ground.

Daoist Pig subconsciously wanted to bend his knees, but was stopped by Ren Qing, "Old Pig, just pretend that the Hundred Wisdom Bodhisattva doesn't exist."

Tang Sheng and the two stared at Daoist Pig with strange eyes, and the latter couldn't help coughing a few times.

“Uh, I’m just a little used to it. I’ve been in the temple for almost half a year, and I just eat fast and chant Buddha every day.”

“Daoist Pig, you are indeed destined for Buddhism.”

Daoist Pig shivered after hearing this, recalling the scene when he first saw the Flesh Body Tathagata.

He just wanted to explain, but Ren Qing chose to sit cross-legged, Tang Sheng also seized the time to practice the Vajra Body, and Daoist Mu She simply ignored Daoist Pig.

Daoist Pig smiled embarrassedly and quickly protected the three of them.

Bang bang bang...

The Hundred Wisdom Bodhisattva stepped out of the temple's range, and went deep into the Great Buddha Heaven along the official road, looking up at the Fude Tathagata from time to time.

Daoist Pig hummed and also stared at the Fude Tathagata.

He seemed to see something and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The Fude Tathagata was shrouded in Buddha's aura, and his whole body was covered with amber-like insect eggs, and thousands of Buddhas were imprisoned in the amber.

“Evil, how do I feel like Buddhism is sealing the Fude Tathagata…”

Daoist Pig originally intended to wake Ren Qing, but Ren Qing suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the Fortune Tathagata, and closed them again.

He had anticipated the Fortune Tathagata's condition; as expected, it was forcibly transformed into a Buddha, constantly on the verge of rampage.

Daoist Pig wisely remained silent.

Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms covered nearly a thousand meters with each step, moving at an extremely fast pace, and within minutes, the temple was out of sight.

In theory, the Great Buddha Heaven was absolutely safe, as it was controlled by Buddhism.

However, due to the extraterrestrial demons, countless cultivators were hiding in the remote wilderness, and the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas was sure to attract them.

Daoist Pig thought that the cultivators would at least be somewhat restrained, but as soon as Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms moved away from the temple, cultivators began to observe them from the shadows.

The cultivators' prying was undisguised, not even considering Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms, and it was unknown what their purpose was.

Under constant stimulation, Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms gradually lost his composure.

"A group of heretical demons."

Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms stopped the mist in mid-air, then released Buddhist energy to illuminate the surrounding ten miles, but could not find any trace of the cultivators.

It was evident that the cultivators had a scheme, with many arrangements along their inevitable path.

Daoist Pig was somewhat uneasy; he only wanted to reach the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas smoothly, and if he got involved in the conflict of the Heavenly Gu Realm, he would inevitably be drawn in.

But things did not go as planned, and the number of cultivators in the dark increased.

From the initial Yang God Realm, even Heavenly Gu Realm cultivators occasionally appeared, clearly due to the cooperation of multiple forces.

Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms also became anxious and began to quicken his pace.

Ren Qing woke up, and Daoist Pig quickly asked, "Arctic Immortal Venerable, how about we break away from Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms?"

He had been frightened for several days, and as he got closer to the location of the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas, he became even more timid.

"Don't rush, I want to see their methods."

Daoist Pig's face flushed red. According to the scale of the cultivators currently revealed, there might be four or five Heavenly Gu Realm cultivators attacking Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms.

He didn't want to get involved for no reason and not even know how he died in the end.

Daoist Mu Snake frowned and said, "There are four Heavenly Gu Realm cultivators, including the White Bone Lady. Continuing to follow Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms is indeed more dangerous."

He had encountered the White Bone Lady and understood how troublesome she was.

The White Bone Lady was not only ruthless, but also unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals, and this behavior was likely organized by her.

The Heavenly Gu Realm was waiting for the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas, and it was likely that many Buddhas would be attacked.

Ren Qing's actions in the Small Buddha Heaven had dispersed some of the vital forces of the Great Buddha Heaven, which was definitely beneficial to all forces.

"It's too late."

Ren Qing stared at the ridge not far away, able to sense the aura of the Heavenly Gu Realm, and the surrounding cultivators were also shrinking back.

Daoist Pig and Daoist Mu Snake were on high alert, taking out magical artifacts to defend themselves.

Only Tang Sheng was still practicing the Vajra Body, oblivious to the world outside, seizing the time to prepare to break through to the Release Yin Spirit.

It wasn't that he hadn't noticed the anomaly, but the bottleneck of the Release Yin Spirit was close at hand.

"Amitabha..."

Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms put his hands together, his body surging with Buddhist energy.

"Extraterrestrial demons, everyone has the right to punish them."

Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms once again raised the mist into the air, then rushed forward, the hundred or so brains on the surface of his neck revealing veins.

Blue smoke slowly rose from the brains, making the control of Buddhist energy extremely precise.

He raised his hand and unleashed a Buddhist energy, directly causing several Yang God Realm cultivators to have their souls destroyed, and then dodged the Heavenly Gu Realm's術法.

With so many brains, Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms would never be indecisive.

The sound of elephants roared, the stone wall broke open, and a corpse elephant with a head of several hundred meters drilled out, its hard ivory tusks crashing into Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms.

The body of the corpse elephant was complete, and its strength reached the level of the Heavenly Gu Realm.

"As expected of the Buddhist bald donkey, good methods."

Lord Elephant held a stone pillar magic weapon, leaped from the top of the mountain, came within a hundred meters of Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms, and swung the stone pillar to smash down.

His cooperation with the corpse elephant was very tacit, and for a time he suppressed Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms.

However, Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms only looked embarrassed on the surface; Lord Elephant's attack could not affect the root at all, and could only leave shallow flesh wounds.

Two more Heavenly Gu Realm cultivators intervened, one a cultivator composed of rocks, and the other a half-human cultivator with tentacles growing on his lower body.

They had definitely made preparations in advance to intercept the Buddha, and their cooperation was extremely tacit.

Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms could only barely fight to a draw with them, and most of the attacks were blocked by the corpse elephant, causing the latter's flesh and bones to collapse.

Daoist Pig's mood gradually calmed down, because no cultivator noticed them.

He looked at Ren Qing, who was watching the battle with ease, and felt genuinely afraid. If he offended the Heavenly Court, he would probably only die.

The battle lasted for several hours, and the resulting movements caused the mountain to collapse.

The situation seemed evenly matched, but Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms' Buddhist energy was almost endless, while the corpse elephant was already bloody.

"If this continues, even if they don't die at the hands of Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms, they will attract other Buddhas."

Daoist Pig was not optimistic about Lord Elephant and other cultivators. Even if the White Bone Lady didn't take action, the addition of another Heavenly Gu Realm cultivator would not change the outcome.

Daoist Mu Snake said with dread, "You underestimate the White Bone Lady too much."

Ren Qing stood up and threw Tang Sheng to Daoist Pig to carry on his back: "Let's go, in a little while, Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms will lose his life."

"Ah?"

Daoist Pig didn't understand, and before he could ask why, Ren Qing had already jumped off the cloud.

He quickly followed, and the four of them blatantly passed through the jungle, not far from the Heavenly Gu Realm cultivators who were gradually getting fired up.

Daoist Pig looked towards Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms and suddenly noticed that something seemed to be wriggling under his skin.

Daoist Mu Snake explained: "Those are the bones of the White Bone Lady."

"They used close contact with Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms to drive bones into his flesh one by one, and the skeleton is almost complete."

For Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms' body, which was over a thousand meters tall, a palm-sized bone piercing into his flesh was no different from a mosquito bite.

Daoist Pig opened his mouth wide. Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms' movements were obviously slowing down, indicating that he was affected by the White Bone Lady.

The White Bone Lady possessed Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms, likely wanting to participate in the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas wearing this layer of Buddha skin.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

The White Bone Lady's head made a strange laugh, coming from Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms' mouth and nose into his body.

While feeling excited, she couldn't help but stare in the direction of Ren Qing, vaguely sensing a familiar aura flashing by.

The White Bone Lady didn't care and focused on controlling Bodhisattva of Hundred Wisdoms.

Ren Qing had already gone far away. To prevent accidents, he released two Buddhist dream flowers, falling on the eyebrows of Daoist Mu Snake and Tang Sheng.

The dream flowers emitted Buddhist energy, which could make them more hidden.
