The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing carried the corpse of the Heavenly Dao Child on his shoulders. As he got closer and closer to the secret passage, the corpse's temperature actually began to slowly rise.

At first, it wasn't obvious, but soon it had exceeded normal body temperature.

This reminded him of the description of the "Entering Divinity Art," which required using the body as firewood to ignite the spiritual flames of the soul.

Could it be that even firewood approaching a source of fire would cause abnormalities?

Ren Qing cursed inwardly.

He could still withstand it at the moment, but the power of the divided soul was already gradually dissipating, indicating that the high temperature emitted by the corpse was lethal to the soul.

His main body quickly used the ability of the Twin Nightmare Demons to maintain the stability of the divided soul, and incidentally swallowed all the remaining eyeballs in one gulp.

Then, he simultaneously visualized the Eyeless Method and the Gluttonous Method, and only in this way could he barely stop the divided soul from collapsing.

By the time Ren Qing reached the end of the secret passage, the Heavenly Dao Child's corpse was already a bit hot to the touch, and he could smell a burnt odor emanating from its pores.

He couldn't help but throw it away, and the corpse fell in front of the small temple.

The corpse still did not move, but its dark gray skin had a bit more blood color, as if it were in the process of resurrection.

Ren Qing walked towards the small temple, preparing to tentatively collect the Entering Divinity Art manual.

But before he could get close, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes, staring blankly into the distance, like a puppet.

The temple door suddenly opened with a creaking sound.

The statue of a mortal walked out, its movements extremely stiff, and stone powder fell when its joints collided.

The statue's expression was abnormally mad, it pointed its hands to the sky, and roared in a strange tone: "Dao begets Dao, inaction is Dao..."

"I am the Heavenly Dao Child, who are you?"

"I..."

"I am the head of the Non-Action Daoist Temple, with a total of seven thousand five hundred and sixty-four disciples, including six thousand four hundred and thirteen outer disciples, one thousand and seventy-one inner disciples, and eighty core disciples..."

Ren Qing's mouth twitched.

The Heavenly Dao Child had indeed gone mad, seemingly asking questions, but in reality, he was just talking to himself.

Ren Qing took a few steps back, watching the incessantly talking statue vigilantly, already considering whether to retreat.

In his opinion, the Heavenly Dao Child was likely awakened when the statue was lifted, and had previously fallen into a near-death slumber.

For a Yang God realm cultivator who had lived for thousands of years, five years was indeed a state of being neither dead nor alive.

The Heavenly Dao Child changed the subject: "I founded the Non-Action Daoist Temple for more than eight hundred years, popularizing spiritual roots in Jingzhou, so that everyone can become immortals..."

"Why!!!"

"Why is this happening!!!!!"

The deafening roar made the secret passage somewhat in danger of collapsing.

A large number of cracks appeared on the surface of the statue, and fragments kept falling.

Fortunately, the talisman had been removed by Ren Qing, otherwise, it might cause a chain reaction, which would undoubtedly affect the entire Secret Treasure Pavilion.

In Ren Qing's eyes, the Heavenly Dao Child clearly did not have any aura leaking out, but he felt that a great terror was about to be born.

It was as if the statue was only used for sealing, and now it was revealing its true form.

After a few breaths, the statue turned into a pile of rubble, and dust rose again.

A huge shadow loomed under the cover of dust.

Even though Ren Qing was extremely far away, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

It wasn't because of fear, but because of the instinctive reaction of the divided soul.

What made him feel most apprehensive was that the coffins were actually breathing in unison.

This indicated that the Heavenly Dao Child could still affect the surroundings.

Ren Qing had never seen an alienation that could get so out of control, or perhaps it was a drawback brought about by cultivating the Entering Divinity Art.

He felt a slight unbearable itching all over, but it was only aimed at the divided soul, and the main soul and the main body did not notice anything.

Otherwise, Ren Qing would not have had the leisure to stay here, and would have escaped from the Non-Action Daoist Temple long ago.

After the dust settled, Ren Qing barely managed to see the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Child, and immediately retreated towards the entrance of the secret passage without hesitation.

How should I put it, even the word "deformed" could not encompass the Heavenly Dao Child.

The Heavenly Dao Child's soul was like an indescribable being pieced together from three different creatures, with the least trace of humanity.

The torso maintained a human shape, but the skin showed the characteristics of the Heavenly Dao Worm, which was similar to maggots in a pond, pale and swollen, and could also wriggle with breathing.

The Heavenly Dao Child's head was somewhat like a combination of cattle and sheep, with black hair all over its cheeks, and two black, hard, and outwardly rotating horns on the top of its head.

The forehead was covered with eyeballs, and the pupils kept turning.

Ren Qing gasped when he saw this.

Could the Beast Penning Method refer to the soul being reborn as a beast, but abandoning the flesh to specialize in cultivating the soul, and not alienating into such a state?

Could this be related to the so-called Supreme Heavenly Demon?

No wonder the information flow had no reaction when it came into contact with the statue, because the soul was the Heavenly Dao Child's true body now.

The jailers who were locked in the stomach within a stomach, the degree of alienation of their souls, was completely insignificant compared to the Heavenly Dao Child.

Moo...

It was unclear what kind of cry it was, but it was definitely not something that cattle and sheep could make, and listening carefully only made one's hair stand on end.

Under the effect of the strange sound, the corpses in the coffins suddenly sat up.

The corpses also began to grow hair, and strange sheep horns on their heads.

Even the corpses sealed with rivets were constantly knocking on the coffin lids with their palms.

Ren Qing retreated to the entrance of the secret passage, but the Heavenly Dao Child did not chase after him, instead, the vicinity of the small temple fell into silence.

Seeing this, he turned his head to look.

He saw the Heavenly Dao Child grabbing the corpse, putting it on as if it were clothing, but there was a sense of extreme disharmony.

But it was indeed so, the corpse's appearance was no different from ordinary people, but the soul had been alienated to the point where it was impossible to see any similarity.

The soul merged with the corpse, and the surrounding anomalies disappeared immediately.

The Heavenly Dao Child's expression became dazed, as if he had regained some consciousness.

He walked to the coffin, as if repeating his actions of hundreds of years, putting the resurrected corpse back into the coffin.

His face was filled with respect for life.

The corpse returned to its original appearance, as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion.

But seemingly to verify that the body was only firewood to ignite the soul, the Heavenly Dao Child's skin showed a large area of ​​ulceration, obviously this corpse could not last long.

Ren Qing guessed that the Heavenly Dao Child left so many bodies, just to foresee that he would lose his mind in the future, and use them to resist the alienation of the soul.

But now it was an opportunity instead.

Ren Qing accelerated towards the small temple, and soon stepped inside, finding the book that had been left on the table.

He picked up the book, and before he had time to check it, he received it into the prison in his stomach.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Ren Qing was about to let the divided soul return to the main body when a figure suddenly appeared in front of the temple door, it was the Heavenly Dao Child after the fusion of body and soul.

The Heavenly Dao Child was wearing a gray-black Taoist robe, if not for the constant burning blisters all over his body, he would not be much different from an ordinary Taoist.

"Which hall are you a disciple of?"

His voice was gentle and refined, and his demeanor was like that of a highly respected person.

Ren Qing did not answer, the scene of his neck being twisted was still vivid in his mind.

He knew that the Heavenly Dao Child had completely gone mad, so he gradually moved away from him.

"How about this, you let Xiao Chenzi come here, I have something to talk to him about."

Ren Qing couldn't help but ask: "What is it?"

"Ugh..."

The Heavenly Dao Child covered his head, his skull making a sound of being unable to bear the weight, he tried his best to recall, and the temperature he emitted became even higher.

Even the surrounding air was distorted because of this.

Ren Qing was already prepared to return to the main body, but at this time, the Heavenly Dao Child staggered towards the outside of the secret passage.

He walked and muttered to himself: "Who... am I, why am I in such a hurry?"

Ren Qing followed far behind the Heavenly Dao Child, and soon arrived outside the Secret Treasure Pavilion.

The Heavenly Dao Child looked at the large number of floating corpses in the pool, and his face became enlightened, and there was a trace of irrepressible despair in his eyes.

"What exactly happened, why has the Non-Action Daoist Temple been destroyed..."

The Heavenly Dao Child's body melted like a candle at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the soul gradually left the body, and became extremely mad again.

The pool water boiled, and the Heavenly Dao Worm larvae did not dare to show their heads at all.

Ren Qing decisively took the divided soul back into the main body.

Although the Heavenly Dao Child was still alive, it was obvious that he could only maintain his remaining sanity by relying on his own corpse, and there was no possibility of communication.

Ren Qing's main body opened his eyes.

The Non-Action Daoist Temple cannot be entered for the time being, at least until the Heavenly Dao Child falls into a slumber again, otherwise, no matter how many divided souls are sent, it will be for nothing.

He closed his eyes to rest for a moment, and then took out the Entering Divinity Art from the prison in his stomach.

Ren Qing first flipped through the manual, and the content recorded on it was relatively ordinary, and there was nothing different from other spells.

But on the last page of the book, he found the Heavenly Dao Child's handwriting, but it was completely different from the style of writing on the coffin lid, but rather like a child's random scribbles.

This indicated that the Heavenly Dao Child was already mentally abnormal at that time.

"They are all lies, I'm going crazy!"

"Never cultivate, never cultivate!!"

"Am I the one who's crazy, or is the world crazy!!"

"Countless voices are in my mind!!!"

Ren Qing stared at the handwriting, and for some reason, his back was soaked with sweat, as if he could feel the despair deep in the bones of this Yang God realm cultivator.

The information flow surged.

【Entering Divinity Art】

【The Entering Divinity Art was created by the Supreme Heavenly Demon. Cultivation requires using the body as firewood to ignite the spiritual flames of the soul, and absorbing the remnants of the Heavenly Demon. Only by abandoning the body and refining the soul can it be cultivated.】

【After absorbing the remnants of the Heavenly Demon, one's own soul will also permanently lose a part, and this will be used to construct the Supreme Heavenly Demon.】

【The gaze of the Supreme Heavenly Demon can be temporarily decided by using one's own body as firewood.】

Ren Qing frowned tightly.

Could it be that the Supreme Heavenly Demon is not a cultivator, but is pieced together from countless soul fragments,

【Can consume five years of lifespan to exempt the cost of mastering】

The lifespan required to consume the Entering Divinity Art is far less than the spells of the Non-Action Daoist Temple, but Ren Qing did not intend to cultivate it.

Just abandoning the body was already unacceptable to Ren Qing, which was equivalent to re-cultivating.

The Heavenly Dao Child was probably trying to use the characteristics of the Beast Penning Method to specialize in cultivating the soul, to escape the control of the Heavenly Dao Worm, but instead fell into the control of the Heavenly Demon.

The information flow can exempt the cost of the spell, but it does not mean that it can change the essence of the Entering Divinity Art, the body will inevitably be abandoned.

Ren Qing shook his head.

He no longer considered the matter of the Entering Divinity Art, and took out the remaining four spells, intending to check if there were any suitable ones.

As a result, he discovered an unexpected harvest.
