The Secret Way of Immortality

From the depths of the cavern came strange, gurgling breaths, interspersed with the bleating of sheep, sending shivers down the spine.

Judging from the boundless darkness, the cavern was located in the heart of the Buddhist Realm, its bottom the Immortal Forbidden Zone, with a faint Buddhist aura permeating the air.

A moment later, a black mountain goat, three to four meters tall, crawled out.

The black mountain goat's body seemed boneless, as if swimming on the surface of the rock wall, its arms piercing directly into the hard rock as it climbed.

The sounds it made immediately drew the attention of the herd of goats.

Extremely sensitive to sound, the black mountain goat ran frantically towards the cave entrance on all fours, and a chain reaction quickly formed a massive horde.

Pairs of blood-red eyes lit up, restlessly fixed on the figure at the cave entrance.

"What exactly happened to the Buddhist Realm?"

The black mountain goat's skin spoke in human language, the tone clearly that of Ren Qing.

The Heavenly Demon Tribulation was secretly unleashed, and the presence of the black mountain goat's skin vanished, causing the herd of goats to scatter and disappear without a trace.

The black mountain goat's skin stood blankly at the cave entrance, looking around, then used its claws to cut open the incredibly tough skin, exposing its chest and abdomen.

The skin's interior was filled with a bizarre flesh structure, seemingly with billions of blind snakes intertwined, its bones grayish-white, like skeletons that had been dead for many years.

Seeing this, the black mountain goat's skin revealed a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

"I must say, the skin has become more and more useful after advancing to the Heavenly Aberrant Realm, it can be used as a clone."

Ren Qing muttered to himself, the black mountain goat's skin could bear part of the power of his spells, greatly enhancing his survivability.

The black mountain goat's skin absorbed the Heavenly Demon aura of the Buddhist Realm through its open abdomen.

The only drawback was that the black mountain goat had to rely on the external Heavenly Demon aura to replenish its own.

The darkness enveloping the Buddhist Realm was no longer as dense as it had been hundreds of years ago, and the black mountain goat's skin would take a considerable amount of time, the Heavenly Demon aura was even less than one-tenth of its peak.

Over the years, the Heavenly Demon aura had been weakening, and the Buddhist Realm was becoming increasingly faint.

What Ren Qing couldn't understand was why the Buddhist Realm was showing signs of decline, when everything indicated that the Supreme Heavenly Demon was still alive.

It was impossible for the Buddhist Realm to show signs of disappearing in just a few hundred years, right?

Unless…

The Supreme Heavenly Demon was dead?

Ren Qing shook his head, forcing a smile as he rejected the thought in his mind.

During his secluded cultivation in the Forbidden Zone, he had been paying attention to the outside world, and knew that the number of "Buddhas" encountered from south to north had increased rather than decreased, and the Heavenly Demon aura had become even more intense.

All indications were that the Supreme Heavenly Demon was at its peak.

Ren Qing did not continue to explore the secrets of the Supreme Heavenly Demon, after all, escaping the Immortal Forbidden Zone was the primary goal, and the rest could be dealt with slowly.

After nearly five hundred years of cultivation, his five spells had all reached the Earth Immortal level, but unfortunately, his Immortal Body was still gestating.

The information stream was as follows.

………

Ren Qing was somewhat helpless, he not only had to endure unspeakable pain, but the fusion of the Immortal Body was not something that could be accomplished overnight, it required using his body and soul as a foundation to build a towering Dao foundation.

He guessed that it would take at least four or five hundred years to gestate the Immortal Body.

That time was neither long nor short, just a blink of an eye in the eyes of a True Immortal, but during this period, he had to be cautious when using the incomplete Immortal Body.

At Ren Qing's signal, the black mountain goat's skin absorbed the Heavenly Demon aura and plunged back into the cavern, crawling on all fours.

The black mountain goat's skin moved as if on flat ground, like an ape traveling through the cavern.

In just a few breaths, it had crossed a range of thousands of meters, and the black mountain goat's skin did not hesitate at all when facing forks in the road, clearly having entered and exited the cavern countless times.

Ren Qing did not deliberately control it, relying entirely on the instinct of the black mountain goat's skin.

Although the black mountain goat's skin was a flesh and blood magic weapon, it was somewhat similar to the Flesh Body Tathagata, containing a massive amount of Heavenly Demon aura.

If Ren Qing wanted to, he could actually erect a statue of the black mountain goat in his stomach world, allowing the black mountain goat's skin to achieve Incense Immortal.

However, one Flesh Body Tathagata was enough.

Ren Qing's main body opened his eyes, the changes in the Immortal Forbidden Zone in front of him were earth-shattering, with various giant fortresses scattered throughout the void.

The past five hundred years in the Immortal Forbidden Zone were five hundred years of vigorous development for the Forbidden Soldiers Hall.

Countless Yin Messenger Realm cultivators were born, and the number of Yang God Realm cultivators was approaching a hundred, and there were even five Heavenly Aberrant Realm cultivators native to the Forbidden Soldiers Hall.

They were "Corpse Ghost", "White Girl", "Chen Changsheng", and "Jade Splendor True Man".

Jade Splendor True Man's advancement depended entirely on Han Li, even though Han Li was only in the Heavenly Aberrant Realm, he could already use the Immortal Position to determine the Heavenly Dao Insect Man.

What Ren Qing regretted was that the Heavenly Dao Child had been stuck at the peak of the Yang God Realm for hundreds of years, and had not broken through the bottleneck of the Yang God Realm to reach the Heavenly Aberrant Realm.

The Heavenly Dao Child himself was not very anxious, and his mentality had become like a wild crane.

Perhaps he did not want to be involved in the internal strife of the Forbidden Soldiers Hall, after all, the strength of the Non-Action Daoist Temple had expanded a little too quickly.

Ren Qing's gaze locked onto the twelve cultivators who inherited the Immortal Positions, their bodies were even larger, standing in the Forbidden Zone like mountain ranges.

With the blessing of the Immortal Positions, their spell progress was extremely fast.

Five hundred years of bitter cultivation had allowed their realms to reach One Life Begets Two, and they were not far from Begetting All Things, and naturally Ren Qing had contributed to this.

Each breakthrough in the Heavenly Aberrant Realm required devouring part of the Immortal Position.

The process of advancement contained unspeakable dangers, but with Ren Qing's Toe Leaving Art in charge, at least it ensured that the cultivators would not go mad.

According to the original plan, as long as the cultivators became immortals and attained the Dao, they would be able to leave the Immortal Forbidden Zone.

However, within five hundred years, the Immortal Forbidden Zone began to continuously deteriorate, and even with Ren Qing's Spiritual Mountain Buddhist aura maintaining it, its area was shrinking, and now the boundary could be seen.

The boundary of the Immortal Forbidden Zone appeared very distorted, and no matter what arrangements were made, it was impossible to prevent the gradually disappearing boundary.

It was fine for Song Zongwu and others, after all, before becoming immortals, they were only a little over ten thousand meters tall.

Even if they advanced to Earth Immortals, their size would not be one-fifth of Ren Qing's, and would be about the same size as a void fortress.

Ren Qing was now in a dilemma, once squeezed into the Immortal Forbidden Zone, it was likely to cause the rules of the Forbidden Zone to completely collapse.

That was why he planned to leave the Immortal Forbidden Zone in advance to investigate the situation outside.

To this end, Ren Qing used the Toe Leaving Art to send the black mountain goat's skin to the outside world, using the skin's perspective to observe the reality of the Buddhist Realm.

He did not find any existence that could threaten him, and the Supreme Heavenly Demon was not in the Buddhist Realm either.

Now was indeed the best opportunity to escape the Immortal Forbidden Zone.

The black mountain goat's skin turned east and west, arriving at the bottom of the cavern, which was a full fifty thousand meters deep, the soil so hard that even a Ghost Envoy Realm cultivator would find it difficult to shake.

It was also because of the hardness of the soil that the Immortal Forbidden Zone did not sink too quickly.

Not far away, the Immortal Forbidden Zone, suspended like a golden ball, was emitting the Buddhist aura of the Spiritual Mountain Tathagata.

Due to the increasingly faint Heavenly Demon aura, the light was even more dazzling.

The black mountain goat's skin crawled to the front of the Immortal Forbidden Zone, its whole body crackling, the Buddhist aura eroding the Heavenly Demon aura within it.

When the Heavenly Demon aura was exhausted, the skin had to go to the surface to reabsorb it.

Poof poof poof…

With a few muffled sounds, eighteen arms drilled out from under the armpits of the black mountain goat's skin, each arm more than ten meters long.

It once again dug open the hair on its abdomen, inside which was a mustard seed space inner bag.

The black mountain goat's skin took out various tools for drawing moon patterns from its abdomen, and mechanically began to carve on the surface of the Immortal Forbidden Zone.

The moon patterns had already been drawn for half of the area, from Ren Qing and Little San'er's ideas, and it took a full two hundred years to perfect the patterns.

The function of the moon patterns was very simple, to refine a "door" on the surface of the Immortal Forbidden Zone, leading to the already abandoned Mirror World.

Cultivators could leave the Immortal Forbidden Zone through the Mirror Gate and go to the Mirror World.

Now there were thirty-six exits in the Mirror World, leading to various areas of this world, using severed limb dragons as mediums.

The reason why Ren Qing went to so much trouble was mainly because he did not want to concentrate the immortals and gods in one place.

Originally, he planned to use the Conferring Immortals to figure out the Three Dao Ancestors of this world, and incidentally attract the attention of the Turbid Immortals.

If the immortals and gods followed Ren Qing, although the strength of the Forbidden Soldiers Hall would expand to an unimaginable degree, it would be meaningless.

Conferring Immortals was an exchange of benefits, they would gain Ren Qing's protection and could easily become immortals and attain the Dao, and they must pay the price afterwards.

Of course, the Forbidden Soldiers Hall's own immortals and gods could return to the stomach world at any time, which was undoubtedly much safer than the other immortals and gods.

Even if the immortals and gods like Song Zongwu wanted to stay in the stomach world for a long time, Ren Qing would not have any objections, but their ideas were consistent, which was to figure out the abnormality of the Three Dao Ancestors.

Ren Qing could sense the general situation through the Heavenly Immortal titles in their bodies and souls.

Even if an immortal or god died, he could take back the Heavenly Immortal title, the value of the Immortal Position was undoubtedly decreasing for the stomach world.

After the Heavenly Demon aura of the black mountain goat's skin was close to exhaustion, it went to the top of the rock wall non-stop, repeating this dozens of times.

When the moon patterns were completely completed, the Buddhist aura emitted by the Immortal Forbidden Zone subsided slightly.

Ren Qing controlled the black mountain goat's skin to open the door and walk into the Mirror World, what met his eyes was a vast nothingness.

He suspected that after Wu Ming became a Heavenly Demon, although he advanced to the Earth Immortal, he had probably lost the qualification to enter and exit the Mirror World.

The arrangements Ren Qing left in the Mirror World had been hundreds of years, and he had not sensed the aura of the second spell, Mirror Immortal.

"Wu Ming, ah, Wu Ming, the Great Dao leads to the sky, how could you choose the small path with your knowledge."

Ren Qing had suspected before that Wu Ming might replace the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

But what did Wu Ming rely on to shake the Corpse Dissection Immortal, even if the Supreme Heavenly Demon died, Wu Ming's fate should be to become a black mountain goat.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand."

Ren Qing showed a wry smile, feeling that after he entered the Immortal Forbidden Zone, the situation had developed in an unexpected direction.

But if he had to make a choice again, Conferring Immortals would still be inevitable.

If he became an immortal and attained the Dao in the outside world, he would probably only have a dead end, no one could escape the aftermath of the struggle between immortals and Buddhas.

The latest novel is at 69shu.com!

Ren Qing's consciousness returned to his main body, while the black mountain goat's skin remained at the cave entrance, in case the Immortal Forbidden Zone produced any abnormalities, it would be good to have an eye.

The Immortal Forbidden Zone was a completely isolated secret realm, and the cultivators were still cultivating hard.

After Ren Qing contacted Li Tiangang, ordinary cultivators began to withdraw from the stomach world one after another, along with dismantling the bloated void fortresses.

The void fortress was an upgraded version of the sand boat, but it was not as practical as the sand boat at all.

The Forbidden Soldiers Hall should save some of the void fortresses, and sell the rest to the magic weapon merchants of Dream City, they could maximize the benefits.

Ren Qing did not waste his remaining time in the Immortal Forbidden Zone, and put all his energy into practicing the use of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation.

The information stream could only improve advancement, it would not make him use it as easily as his arms and fingers.

Even if the Heavenly Demon Tribulation advanced to the Earth Immortal, the basic abilities were not lost, and with the blessing of the Immortal Position, even the tortoise shell divination had been reborn.

Now, in addition to showing good and bad luck, the surface of the tortoise shell could also help block disasters.

When Ren Qing encountered a hexagram above great misfortune, as long as he was willing to bear a certain degree of Heavenly Dao transformation, he could know where the path of life lay.

Even the mysterious and unpredictable Strange Gate was retained.

Ren Qing did not mean to open the door, a space that could only enter and not exit had no meaning to him.

Heavenly Demon Possession was even more terrifying, it was no longer limited by distance.

The creatures Ren Qing sensed with his spells could not escape Heavenly Demon Possession, all things were demonic fetuses, and I was the demonic seed.

The bloodline descendants of Ancestral Vein Derivation; the Fengdu Yin Qi of Corpse Fengdu.

The most terrible thing was the Toe Leaving Art, which controlled the dreams of the world, and could use this to plant disease seeds, who could achieve a life without dreams?

Just the targets that Ren Qing could sense, there were hundreds of millions in his mind, all of whom could be possessed.

Ren Qing's body changed endlessly in the Forbidden Zone, switching between reality and illusion, and from time to time, Heavenly Demon aura would pour out.

The cultivators turned a blind eye, they did not even know how many Immortal Positions Ren Qing had.

Ren Qing was a high mountain that could not be crossed, even after becoming immortals and attaining the Dao, the speed of continued climbing did not stop at all.

Facing Ren Qing, the cultivators could not relax at all, if they could not guarantee competitiveness, they might become sacrifices in the future.

In the suffocating pressure, fifty years passed in a flash.

When Ren Qing noticed that the Immortal Forbidden Zone was showing repulsion, he understood that he had to leave immediately, otherwise it would inevitably affect the Forbidden Zone.

Ren Qing stood up straight, and the Forbidden Zone immediately shook.

The Immortal Position cultivators opened their eyes in unison.

They had all learned of Ren Qing's plan in advance, and had a certain degree of understanding of the dangers of the outside world.

Ren Qing and Song Zongwu and others exchanged a few words silently, telling them to beware of the other cultivators, and those who advanced to Earth Immortals could stay in the stomach world.

Da Meng True Immortal had the highest cultivation and blatantly cast out several silk threads, connecting Song Zongwu, Mu Yi, Li Yaoyang, and others.

Ren Qing opened his mouth and spat out a deformed mass of flesh in the center of the restricted area.

The mass of flesh wriggled several times, and then a large number of Buddha's faces appeared on the surface, as if imprisoning the souls of all the Buddhas of Buddhism.

Ren Qing retracted his Buddha arm, and the third arm under his ribs instantly burrowed back into his body.

Without the support of the spiritual Buddha aura of the Corpse as Tathagata, the Immortal Position Restricted Area immediately showed strange phenomena, with cracks spreading crazily at the edges.

However, he had made preparations in advance, and the deformed Buddha flesh mass struggled.

A surge of spiritual Buddha aura spewed out from the mouth of the flesh mass, replacing Ren Qing in guarding the Immortal Position Restricted Area, which could at least maintain the restricted area for about a thousand years.

Song Zongwu's scalp went numb. He had been exposed to Buddhist techniques and still had lingering fears.

No matter how Ren Qing did it, being able to use the Buddha as a magic weapon was really ruthless. He only hoped that there would be no hidden dangers.

Ren Qing swept over the cultivators, his gaze lingering on Madam White Bone for a few breaths.

A thin layer of flesh grew again on Madam White Bone's skeleton, covered with pustules of various sizes, flowing with thick corpse water.

Her state was the most unstable, and the Heavenly Dao assimilation should be around 30%.

You must know that the Immortal Position Restricted Area is isolated from the outside world, and Madam White Bone's situation is entirely because her soul was already on the verge of cultivation deviation.

Madam White Bone's expression was sometimes resentful, sometimes distressed, and sometimes狂狂, as if dozens of villains lived in her heart.

"Keep an eye on Madam White Bone. She has the possibility of transforming into a Turbid Immortal."

After Da Meng True Immortal received Ren Qing's telepathic message, he nodded imperceptibly, and the silk thread had already connected to the other party silently.

Ren Qing no longer hesitated and casually opened a door.

He showed the door leading to the Mirror World. With the knowledge of the Heavenly Guile Realm, he would soon be able to figure out how to summon the door.

Ren Qing turned into a stream of light and entered the door, and then the door disappeared without a trace.

After a brief silence, the Immortal Position Restricted Area immediately huddled together for warmth, with the Jailers of the Forbidden Area, who had a numerical advantage, in the center.

"Hehehehe..."

Madam White Bone was isolated outside, but she didn't show any strangeness. Instead, she laughed strangely.

When she was emotionally agitated, the pustules burst one after another, causing the corpse water to form a river in the void, and the stench was overwhelming.

"He is gazing at me, he is gazing at me, he is everywhere..."

"You can't escape..."

Song Zongwu stared at Madam White Bone and muttered as he stepped forward, "What a lunatic?!"

After Madam White Bone finished speaking, she closed her mouth, and then a burst of Yin energy erupted from her body, forming a door to the Mirror World in the void.

She opened the door and walked into it, and no cultivator stepped forward to stop her.

Madam White Bone was only in the Heavenly Guile Realm, and she would have to try to break through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Guile Realm in the future, so the other cultivators felt that she was doomed.

A few people were thoughtful. If the restricted area was full of tension, the outside world was indeed a way out.

Da Meng True Immortal took the initiative to walk to the center of the Immortal Position Restricted Area, protecting the Buddha flesh mass, and continued to polish the almost flawless technique while sitting cross-legged.

The door slowly closed, and the Immortal Position Restricted Area returned to silence.

After Ren Qing arrived in the Buddha Realm, his size returned to just over two meters, and his dress was like a scholar rushing to the capital for the exam.

He glanced obscurely at the Immortal Position Restricted Area, noticing the departing Madam White Bone.

Ren Qing directly used the Mirror World to send Madam White Bone to the junction of the North and South, where there were more than a million undead.

He had been trying to find a new Immortal Position all these years, but the harvest was mediocre.

Only Corpse Fengdu discovered an Immortal Position called "Ghost Case Palace Secretary", and the divine Dao Seal it nurtured was specially responsible for reporting Yin Si official documents.

Yan Ancestor Vein's promotion was later, and the exploration of the ocean had just begun.

Being outside, he couldn't use all the Mycelium Souls to find the Immortal Position, so he simply sent Madam White Bone to stir up the muddy waters.

Ren Qing didn't intend to pay attention to whether Madam White Bone lived or died.

Ren Qing looked at the Buddha Realm. The darkness that was once visible for only half a meter was now extremely clear within hundreds of meters.

It was definitely not because Ren Qing had been promoted to Earth Immortal, after all, the Buddha Realm was formed by the Supreme Heavenly Demon of the Corpse Disintegration Immortal level, and the Earth Immortal could not interfere.

But what puzzled Ren Qing was that the concentration of the Heavenly Demon aura had deepened imperceptibly.

You must know that the Heavenly Demon aura has been decreasing in the recent hundreds of years, and the scope of the Buddha Realm should also be shrinking.

Ren Qing noticed that the source of the Heavenly Demon aura was a hundred kilometers away.

He casually buried the cave completely, and then his skin boiled like boiling water, turning into formless black mist and drifting away.

The Heavenly Demon Tribulation was used to the extreme, and the sense of existence was vague, and the sound it caused was covered by the mountain wind.

Even without using the Heavenly Demon Possession, Ren Qing only spent a dozen breaths to reach the source where the Heavenly Demon aura gradually became stronger.

His expression was slightly strange. In front of him was a grave mound thousands of meters high.

Buried inside was the Corpse Immortal he hadn't seen for a long time.

Without Ren Qing's help in transferring the Heavenly Dao assimilation, the latter was almost no different from the Black Goat, covered with black hair and with goat horns on its head.

The holes were extended with flesh tentacles, connecting to the ground of the Buddha Realm.

The reason why the Heavenly Demon aura in the Buddha Realm had warmed up was because of the Corpse Immortal's Heavenly Demonization.

"Something's wrong..."

Infinite Mycelium Souls poured out from Ren Qing's mouth, scattering in all directions of the Buddha Realm, and fungi grew wantonly wherever they passed.

The Corpse Immortal seemed to be able to sense Ren Qing, and countless eyes burst open.

The tentacles tore apart, and the Corpse Immortal wanted to drill out of the buried soil. The instinct of the Black Goat to devour all thoughts took over.

"You should stay here obediently."

With a wave of Ren Qing's hand, the Yin Qi of Fengdu condensed into substance and pressed on the Corpse Immortal's grave, and the gap from the Immortal Position made the Corpse Immortal furious.

The Black Goat herd swarmed towards Ren Qing.

Ren Qing waited for the feedback from the Mycelium Soul's exploration of the Buddha Realm. Just as the herd was about to approach ten miles, he soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through the black mist, and the bright sun shone down.

The scene in front of Ren Qing suddenly became clear, but the scene that appeared made him strange, and even had a sense of horror.

Blocks of land floated in the sky, the larger ones were tens of thousands of miles, and the smaller ones were hundreds of miles.

On each piece of land, there was a Black Goat with the aura of an Earth Immortal. Ren Qing even saw the beast pen where Wuming was located.

Kaka Kaka...

The Buddha Realm was actually divided into more than a dozen parts and ascended to the sky. The part under Ren Qing's feet was also ready to move after the Corpse Immortal's Heavenly Demonization, and it might rise upward at any time.

"The stronger the Black Goat's strength, the higher its location."

Wuming's location was the highest, and the territory almost included most of the beast pen, which showed that he was indeed more terrifying than ordinary Earth Immortals.

Ren Qing was sure that the beast pen battle was probably won by the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

"How does it feel like the Supreme Heavenly Demon is choosing something?"

"Forget it, what does it have to do with me."

Ren Qing fell towards the Corpse Immortal, imitating Wuming and drilling into its flesh and bones. With the help of the Immortal Position, he easily locked the Immortal Position.

The Corpse Immortal wanted to resist, but it was facing the Fengdu Corpse Emperor.

Ren Qing forcibly stripped the Immortal Position, threw it into the Stomach World like garbage, and then immediately moved away from the mess of the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

At this time, he hesitated for a moment and left the Black Goat skin in the Buddha Realm, maintaining that the Heavenly Demon aura would not completely dissipate.
