The Secret Way of Immortality

Chapter 143: Advancing to Shadowless Ghost…

The beast ghost's size instantly reached three meters, but Ren Qing felt it was insubstantial, likely pieced together from souls.

The ghosts within the town had been almost entirely slaughtered, so the giant beast ghost naturally attracted the attention of many Jailers.

The other shore flower field also stirred, its stamens turned towards the scene.

The demonic marks on the giant beast ghost's body increased, black fur grew on its surface, and a deformed bull-goat horn sprouted from its head.

Its intelligence was extremely chaotic, instinctively charging towards the nearest Jailer.

However, with the large movements, the flesh on its body showed signs of collapse, indicating the instability of the transformation.

Ren Qing inwardly confirmed his suspicions.

The Soul Summoning Art must be related to the Beast Pen Method, meaning someone in the Jailer Hall was practicing this technique.

He wondered if the other party's soul transformation had reached the point of no return.

Yu Dachuan roared towards the sky, then glanced at the crowd standing in place, and strode towards the giant beast ghost without hesitation.

The beast ghost's benefits were unimportant, but suppressing others with this was key.

The corpse energy from his body slowly seeped out, enveloping him within half a meter, instantly killing any insects or birds that touched it.

Several other figures also approached.

A bat-person flew around the giant beast ghost, a large number of bats returning to his body, making his speed even faster.

Each time he landed, the giant beast ghost would have several more wounds.

There was also a Jailer resembling a chameleon, probably hoping to pick up a bargain.

Yu Dachuan pretended to be charging in the forefront, but in reality, he deliberately held back, and also vigilantly watched Ren Qing out of the corner of his eye.

Not many Jailers were besieging the giant beast ghost, most of the others were observing in the dark.

The Water Gourd was likely to stop at any moment, so why take the risk of fighting for it.

Wan Qi chose to wait and see, he could sense the strangeness of the ghost, and couldn't help but hesitate.

Wan Qi had participated in the planting of the other shore flowers several times, and indeed, as the other shore flowers bloomed, the level of danger would also increase accordingly.

But the appearance of this ghost was obviously beyond the normal range.

It seemed somewhat like a transformation formed by a technique.

The giant beast ghost quickly couldn't hold on.

But none of the Jailers delivered a fatal blow, unless the others immediately chose to retreat, otherwise, they would inevitably test each other.

Just then.

Ren Qing suddenly stopped watching the show and slowly walked towards the giant beast ghost.

Because of the darkness, his body received a great boost from the ghost shadow possession, giving him a feeling of being in his element.

The spacing of his steps became wider and wider, instantly approaching the giant beast ghost.

Yu Dachuan's expression was gloomy, if he hadn't made preparations in advance, he might have really been intercepted by Ren Qing.

A mouth split open in his abdomen, and a narrow tongue curled towards Ren Qing.

The bat-person revealed a ferocious expression, he subconsciously cooperated, and his feet, which had turned into claws, grabbed towards Ren Qing.

But Ren Qing disappeared from the spot, as if he had never appeared.

A drizzle began to fall in the sky, and a thin mist enveloped the streets, making the figure of the giant beast ghost blurry.

"What's going on?"

Yu Dachuan opened his mouth wide, somewhat astonished.

In a trance, his surroundings actually changed from streets to plains, heavy rain poured down, and the soil emitted a unique smell.

The nearby Jailers were all the same.

But in the eyes of the surrounding people, another scene was presented.

Ren Qing was seen passing straight through Yu Dachuan, coming to the beast ghost, and the ghost shadow recklessly devoured it completely.

The Jailers stood frozen in place, without any resistance.

Then Ren Qing disappeared again.

Yu Dachuan opened his eyes, his face with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

He looked at the sky, where there were any raindrops, everything was just a deceptive illusion.

From this, it could be seen that Ren Qing's Ghost Envoy realm technique must be a similar ability.

When one subconsciously believes that the raindrops are real, the ability of the illusion is completely formed, it is really hard to guard against.

Yu Dachuan glanced at the bat-person who was still trapped in the illusion, and shook his head dismissively before leaving.

Even though he already knew Ren Qing's main technique ability, he still felt it was tricky, and he had to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

If it really didn't work, he could only join hands with others.

A white line appeared on the horizon, and dawn arrived.

Ren Qing had already returned to his guest room, the ghost shadow's body contained a large number of undigested ghosts.

If it were other cultivators, completely digesting the ghosts might require a long period of seclusion, barely digesting them would only waste some.

But Ren Qing was completely the opposite, because the ghost shadow's body had an additional internal cheat.

If one didn't consider the parasitic hatching characteristics of the Heavenly Dao Insect, its convenience was undoubtedly far superior to the Jailer Method.

Even in its egg state, it didn't intend to let go of any nutrients for rapid growth, frantically helping the ghost shadow absorb the remaining souls.

The ghost shadow could be described as undergoing a complete transformation.

In a short period of time, it had already completed one-third of the journey in the Half-Corpse realm.

It was possible that Jailers wouldn't stay in the Half-Corpse realm for long before being promoted, but it was far inferior to the ghost shadow, showing the role of the Heavenly Dao Insect.

If Ren Qing hadn't already mastered three Ghost Envoy realm techniques, he would definitely deliberately slow down because of such a terrifying rate of progress.

As for the Heavenly Dao Insect, its foundation was very low, the Qi Refining stage was only equivalent to the Martial Human realm.

Even if it was only driven by the ghost shadow, it was already approaching the late Qi Refining stage.

It was even very likely that the Heavenly Dao Insect would enter the Foundation Establishment stage during the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, even if it no longer absorbed remaining souls, it would be difficult to stop.

Ren Qing pinched his temples with a headache.

Others were stuck at bottlenecks for decades, while he was afraid that the Heavenly Dao Insect would advance too quickly.

If the Heavenly Dao Insect broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the lifespan required for the exemption cost would definitely increase accordingly, inevitably falling into a vicious cycle.

After hesitating for a moment, Ren Qing decided to solve this trouble from the source.

Either spend more than fifty years using the information stream to advance the exemption cost, or reach the Ghost Envoy realm with the Shadowless Method as soon as possible, and then forcibly seal and control it.

Since that was the case, he would play a big game and complete the advancement of the Shadowless Ghost tonight.

Ren Qing didn't rush to leave the guest room, he closed his eyes and visualized the No-Eye Method, while projecting his divided soul into the Non-Action Daoist Temple.

The divided soul was at the foot of the mountain in the Non-Action Hall, but he didn't see the figure of the Heavenly Dao Child.

Ever since Ren Qing awakened the Heavenly Dao Child, the other party had become strange in behavior, who knew which corner of the Non-Action Daoist Temple he was in.

After Ren Qing summoned the ghost shadow, he entered the pond through the divided body.

The Heavenly Dao Insect larvae in the water felt the movement and became active.

But when they found that there were similar creatures in the ghost shadow's body, they ignored it.

Ren Qing was overjoyed, in this way, the entire Non-Action Daoist Temple was like his own backyard, and any Daoist temple could be easily entered and exited.

He glanced at the direction of the Tushita Palace, and then swam towards the Council Hall.

Currently, the Non-Action Daoist Temple was closed off from the outside world, so there was no need to rush for a moment, he would deal with the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade first.

After Ren Qing returned to the Council Hall, the decoration inside was still the same as before.

Then the main body opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside, the clouds were thick, only a slight breeze was blowing, it was a good day for early spring.

He slowly walked out of the inn, and could feel gazes being cast from the shadows.

Ren Qing didn't hide his identity, after all, his strength was too threatening, and his every move would inevitably attract the attention of the other Jailers.

He instead used this point to pretend to stroll around the city.

Ren Qing also noticed that the Jailers' methods were even more unscrupulous.

To the point that it caused some chaos in An'nan Town, but with the prestige of the Water Gourd suppressing it, no one dared to be a leader.

When Ren Qing reached a secluded corner, he turned and went into the alley.

A Jailer hesitated for a moment, just as he came to the entrance of the alley and secretly glanced in, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and then fainted.

Ren Qing closed his eyes.

The divided soul re-integrated the arm of the Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning into the statue.

Reaching the "Mastering Dao" of the Dao gave birth to Dao, forcibly pulling the consciousness of cultivators was not as difficult as imagined, but it could not be influenced by fabricated techniques.

Because the Council Hall was originally intended to turn mortals into food for the Heavenly Dao Insect.

Ren Qing used the ability of the Gemini Nightmare Demon and the Mirror Man to confuse the Jailer, while making his consciousness appear in the Council Hall.

The Jailer's consciousness sat on the futon and could not move, the main body would not notice anything.

Ren Qing stroked his chin.

It was possible that the Jailer's cultivation had reached the Ghost Envoy realm, so his consciousness could only stay in the Non-Action Daoist Temple for twelve hours at most.

But it was far enough.

He ignored the fainted Jailer and turned to leave the alley.

Ren Qing had some impression of those Jailers who participated in the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, and soon found their traces in An'nan Town.

In order to be unaware, he had to be careful and try to give full play to the advantages of the Gemini Nightmare Demon.

The consciousness in the Council Hall became more and more, and soon there were seven or eight people.

Ren Qing did not consider Yu Dachuan and several other Jailers who had undergone more than two variations, there was no need to deliberately risk it.

Ren Qing chose to wait for dark on the west side of An'nan Town, through the observation last night, there were the most Jailers distributed there, and the distribution of benefits was usually more complicated.

Time gradually passed, and soon it was approaching the Chou hour.

Almost at the same time, the other shore flower field gave rise to great movement, three-quarters of the other shore flowers had bloomed.

Mu Yi could only barely maintain the coverage of the vines.

After the other shore flowers bloomed, countless remaining souls poured into all parts of the street.

Among them, there were many more beast ghosts, representing that the benefits and dangers were also increasing accordingly.

However, the Jailers, who had long been blinded by greed, couldn't care so much.

Their eyes were burning as they stared at the figure of the Water Gourd.

The Water Gourd only collected about 50% of the remaining souls, the flesh gourd behind him had turned gray, and the blue veins were throbbing.

"Hehehehehehe."

"Tomorrow, the other shore flowers will completely bloom, I will no longer interfere with the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, grasp your own opportunities…"

After the Water Gourd finished speaking, he disappeared.

The Jailers had different thoughts, but joy had already overflowed their expressions.

Ren Qing felt that the Water Gourd had other plans, so he had to obtain enough remaining souls to advance the Shadowless Ghost to the Ghost Envoy realm tonight.

The Jailers in the entire city began to hunt, knowing that tomorrow night was the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, they became restrained a lot in an invisible way.

Ren Qing appeared in the west of the city.

The Dragon Snake Spine in his hand turned into a fire python, and the rolled up remaining souls were not absorbed by the ghost shadow, but directly imprisoned in the belly prison.

Yu Dachuan saw that he appeared in a distant location, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Ren Qing's arrogant actions also aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding Jailers.
