The Secret Way of Immortality

The development of the world within the stomach was gradually entering a fast track.

Due to the departure of Wuzhuang Temple, the Earth Ancestor's remains were all recovered by the Forbidden Corps. With the interference of external enemies reduced, the Daoist sect unified the overall situation within a short century.

Zhou Zuosan did not intend to interfere with the outside world, choosing to wait and see, focusing on internal potential excavation.

The battles between immortals and gods in the world within the stomach would continue for nearly ten thousand years, until the Supreme Heavenly Demon completely descended into the world.

Currently, the battlefields on the rivers had been fighting for thousands of years.

After the baptism of the fierce war, many originally weak races had risen one after another, and some powerful races could not keep up with the development and eventually became vassals of other races.

The Heavenly Dao Insect People were an example.

Even though the insect lineage had two Earth Immortals, because they were not suitable for direct confrontation, they eventually became a branch of the Wuwei Taoist Temple, specializing in logistics.

The Heavenly Dao Insect People were willing to become vassals, partly due to Han Li's influence.

Even though Han Li's ascension was of unknown outcome, his Heavenly Immortal position connected to the Heavenly Dao Tree still emitted a scorching light.

This showed that Han Li was not only not in danger, but his cultivation had also improved.

Outside the river battlefield were large towns, with tens of millions of cultivators living in the towns, and hundreds of millions of mortals on the periphery.

Unknowingly, they had become accustomed to the day-to-day war, and generations of newborns had become more and more warlike.

If there was no Supreme Heavenly Demon, the method of supporting war with war would definitely outweigh the advantages.

After all, if this continued, even with the suppression of the three realms by the high-level immortals and gods, the world within the stomach would inevitably fall into continuous war, leading to a sharp decline in the population of various races.

Zhou Zuosan's approach was obviously gambling on the luck of the world within the stomach.

But no one would object, because they could all perceive the impending storm outside, and some kind of omen had already appeared invisibly.

The largest town in the outside world was called Songdao City, located at the foot of Sanqing Mountain.

Residents of the town only needed to look up to see the Sanqing Temple on the top of the mountain, and a statue of the Dao Ancestor thousands of meters high.

Because Ren Qing impersonated the Dao Ancestor, the disciples in the Sanqing Temple benefited greatly.

The hidden injuries in their bodies and souls were all restored by Ren Qing's Box Dragon's Roar, and each of them could be regarded as an acquired Dao body.

After the Sanqing Temple cleaned up the collapsed Lock Evil Tower, they built a statue on the spot.

The statue had the characteristics of the Three Dao Ancestors. It was said that the headmaster of the Sanqing Temple unconsciously depicted it based on the image of the Dao Ancestor who descended in his memory.

The other forces of the Daoist sect were skeptical about the claim that the Dao Ancestor had descended, but they did not dare to refute it because the rumors involved the Dao Ancestor.

In this case, the status of the Sanqing Temple in the Daoist sect became more and more stable.

Even Sanqing Mountain became a Daoist holy land. In just a few decades, the surrounding villages had developed into the populous Songdao City with the support of believers.

Songdao City was very lively, and Daoist traces could be seen everywhere.

Children wore light green Daoist robes, chasing and fighting with simple wooden swords, shouting all kinds of pieced-together Daoist classics.

Anyone over the age of twenty, regardless of gender, would tie their hair with Daoist hairpins.

The Taiji pattern representing the Daoist sect was even more ubiquitous.

Under the management of the disciples of the Sanqing Temple, Songdao City became more and more stable, almost reaching the point where doors were not closed at night.

Dong dong dong...

A crisp knock suddenly sounded at the gate of the city.

Believers were queuing to go to the town, but a strange person appeared in the team at some point.

The strange person was wearing a golden and red cassock, with six scars on his head, holding a bronze Zen staff, and speaking crazy words of Amitabha.

From time to time, he would take out a wooden fish and knock on it under the surprised gazes of the crowd.

The folk customs of Songdao City were simple and honest. Even though the old monk followed the people into the city, they only pointed and pointed in secret.

No one realized what the old monk represented. The disciples of the Sanqing Temple also had no reaction, at most they just smiled when they saw him.

In fact, after the Three Dao Ancestors reshaped this world with disasters, Buddhism had disappeared for thousands of years and had never been revealed.

Zhou Zuosan had been paying attention to Songdao City, and he knew the moment the old monk appeared.

He vaguely remembered that Ren Qing had mentioned Buddhism.

It seemed that on the eve of the arrival of the Thunder Tribulation, many Buddhas disappeared in unison, most likely hiding in various parts of this world.

Zhou Zuosan had a feeling that as the descent of the Supreme Heavenly Demon gradually approached, Buddhism would become more and more active, accompanied by the successive awakening of Buddhas.

Since the Forbidden Corps relied on shelters to survive the disaster.

There was no reason for Buddhism, which also had Corpse Dissection Immortals, to be completely destroyed. Moreover, after the Supreme Heavenly Demon achieved the Heavenly Dao of Buddhism, how could the Buddhas die in the disaster without any signs?

Zhou Zuosan's heart tightened, and an inexplicable sense of urgency made it difficult for him to breathe.

His huge head flashed with five-colored light, which was a manifestation of the high-load operation of the magic weapon, stimulating the core brain.

Milky white turbid liquid flowed from his facial features.

Zhou Zuosan calculated countless possibilities, and then said, "Kitchen God!!"

His voice was unusually weak, only heard by the refiners responsible for maintenance in the palace, and the latter transmitted the information to

But there were many refiners in the palace responsible for maintaining the equipment, and then transmitted the information to the Second Heaven.

The Kitchen God heard Zhou Zuosan's call and immediately got up and came.

There were a total of six Sun and Moon Immortals in the Heavenly Court. In terms of great divine powers, it was definitely the Ziwei Star Lord; in terms of controlling the power of incense, it should be the Old Man Under the Moon.

Only the Kitchen God stood out as being ubiquitous.

There were as many Kitchen God statues as there were stoves in the Three Realms.

The incense supplied to the Kitchen God accumulated into a tower. Even if the divine position was limited, he was still a leader among the Sun and Moon Immortals of the Heavenly Court.

The Kitchen God, whose real name was Xiao Yan, had previously been defeated and died in the Fire Virtue Star Lord Immortal position. His remnant soul was exiled by Ren Qing to the world within the stomach to become a mountain god.

Xiao Yan used the opportunity when Ren Qing became an immortal to climb upwards step by step, and finally achieved the Sun and Moon Immortal of the Heavenly Court.

He belonged to the Heavenly Court faction that was close to the Forbidden Corps, so he was familiar with Zhou Zuosan.

Before the disaster came, the Forbidden Corps urgently evacuated the world within the stomach, not only taking in a large number of mortals, but even the dormant Burning Earth Gang people were not left behind.

For Xiao Yan, both Ren Qing and the Forbidden Corps had great kindness to him.

Xiao Yan walked into the palace and noticed that the ground was already covered with maintenance pipes, all connected to Zhou Zuosan's brain, supporting the latter's thinking.

"Alas..."

He sighed secretly.

According to Zhou Zuosan's own statement, his transformation had come to the second stage. His soul was forcibly exiled to the deep dream realm, but his consciousness remained in his brain.

Zhou Zuosan's thinking had probably reached the level of thousands of thoughts per breath.

However, the disadvantage was that the Great Dream True Person had to go to the deep dream realm every hundred days to stabilize Zhou Zuosan's soul, so as not to fall into a deeper level.

Xiao Yan respectfully said, "Immortal Zhou."

Zhou Zuosan nodded slightly, and then said decisively, "It's time to make a move, otherwise Senior Ren's chances of being promoted to Heavenly Dao will be reduced by at least 30% because of that disaster."

"You guessed what the Supreme Heavenly Demon is as a disaster?"

Zhou Zuosan did not answer, and then a crystal clear eyeball drilled out of his forehead, revealing a macroscopic map of the outside world.

"No matter what means you use, I want to build, within a year in the outside world, without being noticed by the Daoist sect..."

"Build six million Burning Lamp Temples."

As Zhou Zuosan spoke, the map lit up with a large number of light spots, which were the locations for building temples in the outside world, a number that made one's scalp tingle.

"I will transfer 50,000 refiners to refine Burning Lamp statues."

"Remember to be fast."

Zhou Zuosan closed his eyes again, leaving only the stunned Xiao Yan, and then the entire world within the stomach boiled.

The requirement of six million temples seemed simple, but it was actually extremely difficult.

First of all, it had to be done quietly, without letting the outside world notice that cultivators were intervening in the situation. It was necessary to send a large number of people to do the preparatory work.

Secondly, the temples could not be damaged later, so the people had to be made to believe in the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha.

In today's world where the Daoist sect was supreme, it was not something that could be done overnight to make the people believe in the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha.

Even if they used spells to brainwash, the greatest probability was to cause chaos, causing neutral people to spontaneously resist the Burning Lamp Temple.

Xiao Yan was a little headache, but he still informed the immortals and gods of the task.

After the fermentation of the world within the stomach, and the repeated fierce discussions among the immortals and gods, the plan was drafted.

A hundred-mile platform temporarily rose in the mortal world.

The cultivators participating in the task were like ants on a hot pot on the platform, busy next to the mountains piled up with books.

The cultivators racked their brains to write scriptures, and from time to time went to read books.

In the center of the sea of books, there were two old men listening to the wind and boiling tea, playing a game of black and white Go pieces unhurriedly.

The old man on the left had white hair and was dressed in a purple robe, looking extremely capable. There was also a Peking opera face ornament on his waist, and a wisp of sword light inlaid in the center of his eyebrows.

He was the ancestor of Wuwei Taoist Temple, Heavenly Dao Child.

The old man on the right was wearing a fiery red conjoined shirt, his face was covered with ravines, but his hair and beard were black and shiny, tied behind his head with a red silk.

He was one of the Sun and Moon Immortals of the Heavenly Court, known as the "Red Thread of Marriage" Old Man Under the Moon.

As for the Great Dream True Person who refined the Old Man Under the Moon Immortal position, after being promoted to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, he completely transcended the Immortal position and achieved the Dream Immortal.

"Heavenly Dao Child, I heard that you have a means of manipulating all living beings. Take this opportunity to let the old man take a good look."

Old Man Under the Moon took a sip of tea, and a cool stream rushed straight to the Niwan Palace along his throat. He couldn't help but marvel.

"How can it be compared to you, Old Man Under the Moon, using red thread to connect the cause and effect of all living beings, a good method."

Heavenly Dao Child played with the Peking opera mask. The main spell he re-cultivated was the Easement Technique, which could indeed control living beings to a certain extent.

Now, he was the only one in the Three Realms of the world within the stomach who mastered the Easement Technique.

The Easement Technique had previously been sealed by Ren Qing in the Treasure Pavilion. Later, the authority of the Treasure Pavilion was handed over to Zhou Zuosan, who could take out the spell resources in a limited way.

If it weren't for the disaster of the Three Dao Ancestors' descent, Zhou Zuosan would not have used forbidden techniques.

In the face of the Heavenly Dao competition, if he continued to hide it, he might die and disappear. He had to try his best to break the situation.

The two immortals smiled at each other, and then disappeared into the world within the stomach.

After Heavenly Dao Child came to the outside world, he did not hesitate too much and went straight to a town in the northwest.

The strong wind came head-on, and Heavenly Dao Child's skin was translucent, and countless red threads could be seen constantly intertwined in the flesh.

Old Man Under the Moon, as an Incense Immortal, even if he was the top Sun and Moon Immortal, he could not leave the world within the stomach at all without the law of heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Court thought of a compromise.

That was to temporarily give the divine seal of the Incense Immortal to the Forbidden Corps Immortal, which could make the Immortal Dao and the Divine Dao in a complementary state.

As Heavenly Dao Child walked, a crack opened in his shoulder, and red threads drilled out.

The red threads quickly combined into the head of Old Man Under the Moon, and Heavenly Dao Child's aura also reached the Corpse Dissection Immortal, and his speed became even more terrifying.

Heavenly Dao Child had comprehended the Parasitic Heavenly Dao in the world within the stomach, and used it to be promoted to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

But after he came to the outside world, lacking the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Tree, his cultivation inevitably dropped to the Earth Immortal, and it was difficult to exert his strength.

However, with Old Man Under the Moon as a transit station, Heavenly Dao Child could barely sense the Heavenly Dao Tree.

Even if it could not be compared to the Tathagata fruit position of Buddhism, it was not comparable to ordinary Earth Immortals. He could already walk sideways in this world.

If it were not for fear of the Three Dao Ancestors and the Supreme Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Dao Child could easily control the Daoist sect.

Heavenly Dao Child jumped upwards, his figure disappeared into the clouds, and then came to his destination, a town with a population of more than 40,000.

Compared to Songdao City, this place was not fanatical about the Three Dao Ancestors.

Heavenly Dao Child dived towards the city, and at the same time his appearance constantly changed into other people, there were peddlers selling sugar figurines on the street corners, shop assistants shouting for customers, or patrolling Dao soldiers.

Of course, in Heavenly Dao Child's eyes, his figure was like an unspeakable thing, and the distorted cognition from the Primordial Heavenly Lord was difficult to erase.

No one noticed the abnormality, and Heavenly Dao Child turned into a liquid and merged into the cracks of the floor tiles.

Red threads shuttled between the towns, and soon covered all the buildings, and an invisible aura of spells had enveloped the town.

With the two immortals joining forces, how could mortals have room to resist.

The temples of the Three Dao Ancestors suddenly vibrated slightly.

There was a thick layer of gold foil on the surface of the statues of the Three Dao Ancestors. The external image did not change significantly, and the internal gradually approached the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha.

Transparent red threads connected the people, affecting their subconscious.

In a sense, Heavenly Dao Child, with the help of supernatural powers and Old Man Under the Moon, could indeed have the ability to change cognition in a small range.

After Heavenly Dao Child completed it, he immediately got up and left, rushing to the next town.

The essence of the statues of the Three Dao Ancestors was already the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha. As long as a little psychological suggestion was used, the belief could be changed imperceptibly.

Of course, the most important thing was that the monks of Buddhism had to cooperate.

According to the statistics of the Forbidden Corps, hundreds of monks had appeared, distributed in the streets and alleys of various towns, and seemed to want to spread the belief of Buddhism through teaching by example.

At the same time, various Daoist and Buddhist classics and scriptures were circulating on the market.

The content of the classics seemed to conform to the doctrines of Daoism and Buddhism, but in fact some parts were distorted, forcibly blending the origins of Buddhas and Immortals together.

And the Forbidden Corps' game had only just begun.

Zhou Zuosan was not trying to provoke the disputes between Daoism and Buddhism, mainly involving the disaster of the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

He had a 40% certainty that the layout would have unexpected positive effects. Even if it failed, it would not have any impact on the Forbidden Corps.
