The Secret Way of Immortality

The instant the sun rose, the cold on the ground receded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Ren Qing's connection with the Ghost Shadow disappeared.

His expression was slightly helpless. Frankly, he was just one step away from touching the secrets of Huangsha City, but the spell failed.

Next, Liu Chuan should be sent to the government. The cultivator will probably check his Niwan Palace, and the loss of his soul will definitely not be concealed.

But no matter what, at least Ren Qing has figured out the situation in Huangsha City.

Even if the Ghost Shadow gains nothing, it won't be long before he can try to cross the sandstorm again. It shouldn't be difficult to sneak into the city then.

But before that, he must first figure out what the Forbidden Prison Hall is planning to do.

Ren Qing continued to move forward, while pinching his blood heart to inform Li Tiangang in advance.

When he approached the camp, he found a page of paper about a hundred meters in size in the sky, completely blocking the sunlight.

In the shadows was where the Forbidden Prison was stationed, and it already had the prototype of a town.

The patrolling Forbidden Prison guards cast wary gazes at Ren Qing when they saw him, and the atmosphere seemed extremely silent, as if they were on guard.

Ren Qing took out the Forbidden Prison token and shook it, walking into it without any care.

He has changed a lot since he arrived at the swamp. Not only is his skin tanned, but he also has disheveled hair, making it difficult for others to recognize him.

The Forbidden Prison guards were discussing in the distance, guessing who could cross the swamp alone.

Because it was too hot during the day, they had just finished their busy work and were preparing to go to the stone house for a rest.

Ren Qing looked at the open space and saw a large amount of materials piled up, as well as a high platform under construction, which was already seven or eight meters high.

It looked somewhat like a summoning altar for Ksitigarbha, but it was unknown what it was for.

Ren Qing's arrival did not cause any waves, so he strolled around the camp.

He could feel Li Tiangang constantly observing him in the dark, as if confirming something.

After more than half an hour, Li Tiangang finally came over.

He looked at Ren Qing for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said, "Ren Qing, you should have come several months ago. Why are you so slow?"

Li Tiangang had already received the news, but he had not seen Ren Qing for a long time, and thought that something had happened to him in the swamp desert.

Ren Qing said with a smile, "The magic weapon originally used for transportation had some minor problems, so it took a lot of time."

"Magic weapon? What magic weapon?"

Ren Qing vaguely explained, "Just a small boat. I'll show it to Senior Li when I have the chance…"

"It's okay, it's good that you're here."

Li Tiangang didn't pay too much attention to the magic weapon. The two began to communicate with each other.

Originally, he wanted to keep something to himself, but it was obvious that Ren Qing knew a lot, so he simply regarded it as a complement to the information about the swamp.

Ren Qing was slightly surprised after hearing this.

Li Tiangang had also been to the edge of the Avici Hell swamp, but he had not gone deep.

After all, even for a Yin Messenger Realm cultivator, it was extremely difficult to fight against the power of heaven, especially the terrifying wind of the sandstorm, which could easily sweep away cultivators.

Li Tiangang finally chose to build a camp here, which was considered a relatively remote location in the swamp.

"Senior Li, does the Forbidden Prison Hall have any plans?"

Ren Qing realized that something was wrong after arriving at the camp.

He will try to go to Huangsha City again in at most a month or two, so don't let it affect him.

"Have you noticed the clouds that appear in the evening? I suspect it is the source of the swamp anomaly."

Ren Qing's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and his expression became strange: "Could it be that Senior Li Tiangang you…"

"The main purpose of the Forbidden Prison Hall is to prevent the swamp from continuing to expand, so we must check the situation, but the wind and sand here are really dangerous."

"Even if we use spells, we can't go into the air, so it's better to build a high tower."

Ren Qing then realized that Li Tiangang's idea coincided with that of the Gobi people, and they were both preparing to build a ladder to the sky.

In terms of speed, Huangsha City may be faster, but the efficiency is definitely not as good as that of the Forbidden Prison Hall.

Maybe the two forces will complete the construction at the same time. If they can really use this to come to the clouds, who knows what is in the Qingxu Temple.

The development of things was really unexpected.

All Ren Qing can do is figure out the truth about the Qingxu Palace recorded in Huangsha City, and then tell it to the Forbidden Prison Hall.

Li Tiangang asked with a strange expression, "By the way, have you ever experienced a state of blurred consciousness from being exposed to the wind and sun?"

"Uh…"

Ren Qing shook his head and replied, "I did notice the water mist turning into human form, but I used spells to isolate the sunlight in advance."

While speaking, Ren Qing's skin and flesh were covered by the Ghost Shadow, and coupled with the Taoist robe, he was wrapped tightly from head to toe.

Li Tiangang nodded secretly when he saw this.

He originally received the information that Ren Qing was coming, and he was really afraid that the latter would be affected by the swamp and turn into some indescribable creature.

So he was on guard when he first came, but he didn't expect that Ren Qing would be unharmed after several months.

Li Tiangang considered whether to find a reason to transfer Ren Qing back to Xiangxiang and let the Great Dream Master help him advance to the Yin Messenger Realm as soon as possible.

Ren Qing couldn't help but ask about the water mist, while describing his views.

Li Tiangang also believed that the water mist was a unique creature.

It can be seen from the matter of Yan Feng that he has not yet regained consciousness, and even his three souls and seven spirits have suddenly disappeared. It seems that he is trapped somewhere and cannot return to his body.

After the cultivator is exposed to sunlight, the water in his body will quickly evaporate and turn into a strange substance called "Ze".

When Ze is in the transition between day and night, the cultivator's consciousness will be absorbed into it, thus becoming the 'Ze Immortal' with three flowers gathering on the top.

"Ze Immortal?"

Ren Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised, why would Li Tiangang call it that.

"When the second Forbidden Prison guard turned into a Ze Immortal, many people, including me, were around. When we saw this creature, our first reaction was… like an immortal."

"Ze Immortal has an invisible influence on the senses, making others mistakenly think it is an immortal, but it easily integrates into the world, waving its hand to suspend the wind and sand nearby for a few breaths."

Li Tiangang's tone felt very absurd. After all, such power far exceeded the Ghost Envoy Realm.

The cultivator's desire to advance to a higher realm step by step is like climbing a mountain. The closer he is to the top of the mountain, the more difficult it becomes.

How can there be a reason to become an immortal by abandoning the physical body.

Even if the Forbidden Prison guard who turned into a Ze Immortal clearly retained his intelligence, he kept describing the immortal residence standing on the cloud, and warned the others not to imitate it. This road is just a dead end.

Li Tiangang wanted to control the Ze Immortal, but the latter disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Later, he modified the memories of all the Forbidden Prison guards in the camp, and deleted and removed the content about the Ze Immortal.

Among the second batch of Forbidden Prison guards transferred by Li Tiangang, there was a cultivator who was good at pupil techniques.

He could see a mountain peak standing on the cloud during the transition between day and night, with several Taoist temples on it and countless immortals.

That was the immortal residence that the Ze Immortal said.

Ren Qing's expression showed a wry smile.

The Qingxu Palace in his eyes was completely different. The true form of the mountain peak was an old Taoist with pustules all over his skin, which looked strange and inexplicable.

"Actually, I can see the immortal residence on the cloud clearly…"

Ren Qing described the Qingxu Palace, including the pustule-covered old Taoist.

"Sure enough, they are some heretical methods. We must go and see what the immortal residence is."

Li Tiangang sneered a few times.

Ren Qing suddenly remembered the Forbidden Prison guard whose lungs were mutated, and couldn't help but mention this person.

The Wuwei Taoist Temple and Huangsha City seem to be really connected. On the surface, there is the point of believing in Taoist ancestors, not to mention the fabricated spells.

"I placed the wine in the open air of the swamp, but it was dried by the sun after a while, and there was no abnormality at all."

That woman's name is Luo Mingmeng. She has already transplanted a new lung with spells, but her body is inevitably weak.

Ren Qing did not see Luo Mingmeng in the camp, she should be resting in the stone house.

He talked with Li Tiangang for a while, and seeing that it was almost noon, he found a free stone house and lived in it.

Ren Qing waited for the night to come, and the separated soul entered the Wuwei Taoist Temple.

He felt that the fabricated spell was likely to be of great importance, and it was necessary to go to the council hall.

The current Wuwei Taoist Temple is close to collapse.

After all, the Heavenly Daozi's lifespan is exhausted, so the water level in the pond is only less than half, so dozens of Heavenly Dao insect larvae are exposed.

The tombstones in the Fire Refining Palace have all been moved into the prison in the abdomen. In fact, for safety's sake, Ren Qing doesn't need to come again.

But Ren Qing vaguely had a feeling that the value of the Taoist ancestor statue in the council hall might be higher than that of the tombstone furnace.

Not surprisingly, the source of the fabricated spell is the statue itself, which may be helpful in finding the Wine God Method.

Ren Qing let the Ghost Shadow wrap the Yuanshi Tianzun statue, ready to withdraw from the Wuwei Taoist Temple at any time, and slowly exert force to lift the statue.

The council hall shook and the mountains shook, and the sudden movement was too great.

The Heavenly Daozi's self-talk came from far to near, and his body slammed heavily on the wall, and cracks spread immediately, and the pond water showed a tendency to backflow.

Ren Qing was taken aback.

How dare he dawdle any longer? He picked up the statue and swallowed it directly into the prison in his abdomen, and then focused on the Moral Tianzun.

The Ghost Shadow moved the statue again.

For some reason, it was clear that the statue weighed at most a hundred pounds, but the consumption of the Ghost Shadow was extremely high, and the speed could not help but slow down.

When the Moral Tianzun was collected into the prison in his abdomen, the Heavenly Daozi also came to the council hall.

The air was distorted, and the cattail hassock woven from hay actually sprouted and grew black twisted plants, like human hands.

After not seeing him for a while, the Heavenly Daozi was completely unrecognizable as a human, and the surface of his body was constantly mutating and recovering, obviously on the verge of losing control.

The Ghost Shadow entangled the Lingbao Tianzun statue and gradually exerted force to lift it.

Ren Qing gritted his teeth when he saw this, and did not intend to give up the opportunity he had obtained, and the fabricated spell was likely to be related to the Ze people.

At worst, he would lose part of the Ghost Shadow and the separated soul.

He tried to get close: "Master, have you forgotten? I am Huang Qi."

"Tao begets Tao, Wuwei Tao…"

"The Wuwei Taoist Temple has not been destroyed, Master, wake up."

The Heavenly Daozi stepped forward and came to Ren Qing in the blink of an eye. The latter was unable to move, and it was too late to withdraw from the Wuwei Taoist Temple.

Black hair began to grow on the separated soul, and the image gradually went to the black goat.

Ren Qing endured the severe pain. Before the separated soul was about to be destroyed, he asked with a strange expression: "Master, what exactly is in the swamp?"

The Heavenly Daozi paused slightly, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

"There are immortals…"

Taking advantage of the convergence of the demonic aura, Ren Qing did not hesitate to evacuate from the Wuwei Taoist Temple.

The council hall collapsed into ruins.

The next chapter will be later. The Swamp Method will be officially revealed in the next chapter, which means that the plot preheating has ended.
