The Secret Way of Immortality

Moonlight illuminated the mountains within the Qingqiu Immortal Realm, causing Lin Xi's soul to distort.

Bathed in the moonlight, Lin Xi's body began to absorb demonic energy naturally, and his appearance became increasingly fox-like.

Ren Qing realized that although demon cultivators could digest strange demonic energy, their bodies couldn't withstand it without the moonlight of the Gibbous Moon Layer.

Even with the help of moonlight to absorb demonic energy, it wasn't without its drawbacks; his soul was clearly being distorted and losing control due to the blood moon.

No wonder Lin Xi's temperament changed so drastically.

Lin Xi's regrown fox fur was smoother and glossier, but the demonic energy emanating from it intensified.

He didn't stop there, continuously peeling off his own fur, his cultivation base also soared from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The female corpse died again after being draped in the fox fur, as if its only purpose was to bear the fur.

The blood moon overhead was in a gibbous phase, and in the gap, the giant toad-rabbit's half-face could faintly be seen.

It seemed to be secretly watching Jing Province, sending a chill down one's spine.

Ren Qing discovered that demon cultivators were very dependent on the light of the blood moon, and after reaching a high level, they might even have to go to deeper layers of the blood moon.

The New Moon Layer was inhabited by ordinary mortals, the Crescent Moon Layer by various cultivators, and the Gibbous Moon Layer was occupied by various strange beings like demons.

Lin Xi's eyes were bloodshot, and his skinning hands trembled slightly.

Wen Yu's expression was somewhat fanatical, and his throat made a strange gurgling sound, causing the nearby coffin bearers to hide in the corner in fear.

Ren Qing was full of curiosity about the strange and demonic arts, scrutinizing Lin Xi from the inside out.

Then he discovered the secret of demon cultivators; no wonder no methods had ever been passed down, because the inheritance of this kind of art was extremely special.

It would be more appropriate to call the strange and demonic arts "Demonic Strange Arts".

The Demonic Strange Arts are based on the same principle as the Heavenly Worm Arts; cultivators are like ticks parasitizing strange beings, relying on absorbing the body's nutrients to grow stronger.

But the biggest difference between the two is that the Demonic Strange Arts require moonlight as a "catalyst".

Moreover, Ren Qing felt that the Heavenly Dao Worm nurturing Heavenly Worm Art cultivators was mutually beneficial, but the Demonic Strange Arts were completely one-sided exploitation.

As for how demon cultivators were able to absorb demonic energy, it should be related to the "taboos" of strange beings.

In a sense, demon cultivators were actually stealing demonic energy by exploiting the taboos of strange beings.

Qingqiu cultivators wear fox fur, imitating the aura of white fox demon descendants, and then by peeling off their own fox fur, they allow the strange beings to actively bestow demonic energy upon them.

Ren Qing had previously faced a Shanxiao cultivator, who had gained some kind of supernatural power by eating human hearts, indicating that the Shanxiao strange being's taboo was related to "human hearts".

A bold idea arose in his mind.

If he knew how strange beings were formed, could he turn the jailers in the prison within his abdomen into strange beings and use them to nurture demon cultivators?

However, stealing alone was not enough; they had to go to the Gibbous Moon Layer to bathe in the moonlight in order to completely digest the demonic energy.

Ren Qing remembered the "Emperor Flow Ooze" recorded in the Wuwei Taoist Temple's classics.

This thing was not some kind of heaven and earth treasure; it was said to be hidden in the moonlight, like ten thousand strands of golden silk, hanging from the sky to the corners of the sea.

Ordinary mortal plants and beasts can become demons by absorbing the Emperor Flow Ooze in the moonlight.

Ordinary creatures have nature but no life, and the Flow Ooze has nature, which can supplement life.

When nature and life are connected, one can attain the Dao.

Lin Xi was already filled with greed, and even though the demonic energy had reached the limit of his body and soul, he still had no intention of stopping.

Come to think of it, as long as he kept shedding fox fur, his cultivation base would continue to grow, who could resist this temptation.

And the role of the skinned female corpse was actually very similar to the Wuwei Taoist Temple's tombstone furnace, ensuring that the fox fur remained active.

Under the moonlight, Lin Xi's soul had completely lost control.

Zhou Wei couldn't bear it and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Wen Yu: "Do you want to die? Junior Brother Lin Xi is climbing the Great Dao."

"How interesting..."

Wen Yu's words were full of greed, staring expectantly at Lin Xi, and occasionally glanced at the indifferent Ren Qing.

Lin Xi's emanating cultivation base soon approached the Core Formation stage, but his appearance became increasingly deformed, with useless limbs growing all over his body.

He opened his arms and roared almost madly: "If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die in the evening."

Lin Xi then looked at Wen Yu in the distance, and said with murderous intent: "Senior Brother, you led me into the Dao, but I always feel that I am still a little short of the demon core."

"But Junior Brother, you are too conspicuous, Qingqiu Immortal Realm cannot be so conspicuous."

Wen Yu looked at the exuberant demonic energy he exuded, and then pointed to the sky.

Behind the Gibbous Moon, the face of the giant toad-rabbit emerged, and stretched out a narrow arm to grab Lin Xi.

The arm gradually shrank in mid-air, and when it approached the ground, it was only ten meters large.

"Senior Brother, save me!"

Lin Xi was stunned for a few breaths before he reacted, but it was obviously too late to escape, and he was pinched between the fingers and taken to the blood moon.

The giant toad-rabbit tasted Lin Xi's flesh and blood, as if it was some kind of delicious food.

Ren Qing's muscles were tense, and the pressure from the giant toad-rabbit made him unable to breathe, feeling like he was about to suffocate to death.

In order to ensure that he was not pulled into the deeper depths, he had to lower his head and not look at the blood moon.

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes.

Fortunately, he didn't reveal his aura, otherwise it would inevitably attract the attention of the giant toad-rabbit.

It can be seen that as one goes deeper into the blood moon layer, the probability of being noticed by the giant toad-rabbit will also increase.

Several strong men in the courtyard couldn't help but look up, and then their bodies underwent hideous transformations, and then exploded into minced meat because they couldn't bear it.

Wen Yu had expected this, or his purpose was to feed Lin Xi to the giant toad-rabbit, and now he began to prepare for the end.

Zhou Wei couldn't help but take a few steps back, she sensed danger from Wen Yu.

But before she could escape the range of the courtyard, a sharp pain arose in her chest, an arm pierced through her ribs, gradually causing her strength to disappear.

Wen Yu directly took out Zhou Wei's heart and looked at it secretly in his palm, as if looking at a beautiful treasure.

"The Taiyin Star Lord is already satisfied, only one sacrifice is needed."

"Oh, right."

He turned to look at Ren Qing, and said in a threatening tone: "Fellow Daoist, I see that you have good aptitude, you are a Dao seed for cultivating the Qingqiu Immortal Technique, why not follow our Qingqiu lineage?"

Wen Yu was obviously just looking for an excuse, the murderous intent filled in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he wanted to solve Ren Qing's future troubles.

Otherwise, when he started peeling his skin to cultivate, he would not have left Ren Qing by his side.

Ren Qing shook his head and refused.

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

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you take the initiative to look into the distance at the blood moon, you can also attain the Dao and transcend."

Wen Yu babbled incessantly, even though his expression was indifferent, he was obviously deeply afraid of Ren Qing in his heart, so he mainly used coercion.

"You really are a chatterbox, you haven't stopped since before, don't you know the principle that disaster comes from the mouth?"

Ren Qing widened his eyes, with a smile on his face, without showing the slightest deterrence.

Just as the two were facing each other, those rogue cultivators couldn't wait to rush towards the bridal sedan, their target was naturally the fox-skinned female corpse.

They peeled off their own human skin, and then endured the pain to put on the fox skin.

A faint demonic energy spread out, obviously demon cultivators were inherited through similar organ transplants, so there were no technique records.

The coffin bearers were briefly stunned, and then pushed each other towards the bridal sedan, after all, the number of fox skins was really limited.

Wen Yu was becoming increasingly unable to suppress the beastliness in his heart, and he knew that time was limited, and it was impossible to consume it with Ren Qing.

"Obstructing me from attaining the Dao, no matter what force you are, you are courting death."

He visibly swelled up, and soon he was four or five meters tall, his demonic energy was restrained and emitted, and his body strength was significantly improved.

Wen Yu should be the so-called Core Formation stage perfection.

Because of the relationship between demon cultivators and the fusion of demonic energy, their physique will move closer to strange beings.

Wen Yu did not dare to use demonic energy, but his legs exerted force and disappeared in place, and sharp claws grabbed towards Ren Qing's neck.

As long as he touched it, his head would fall to the ground.

He just wanted to fight quickly now, after all, he couldn't stay in Qingqiu Immortal Realm for too long.

Wen Yu thought that Ren Qing didn't have time to dodge, his eyes were full of cruelty, but he didn't expect that the latter had preemptively blocked his neck with his arm.

The claws landed on the human skin, and Wen Yu felt like he was facing a tenacious stubborn stone, no matter how much force he used, he couldn't touch the bone.

Ren Qing glanced at the wound, at most only half a finger.

Although the substitute ghost skin is still at the Ghost Envoy realm, after the primary and secondary techniques are associated, the power unconsciously increases a lot.

The two were entangled together.

Although the demon cultivator's powerful physique was displayed vividly, he still fell into a disadvantage.

The more Wen Yu fought, the less confident he became, deliberately selling a flaw to let Ren Qing's fist swing to, thereby flying out a few meters, pulling away the distance.

"You... what kind of monster are you?"

Wen Yu's face was full of suspicion, he thought that Ren Qing's body had undergone less mutation, and his physique should not be strong, but he didn't expect the opposite.

He stood up panting, and he had long lost the idea of cultivation in his heart, he just wanted to deal with the strong enemy in front of him as soon as possible.

To be honest, Wen Yu had never seen such a demon cultivator, who could also show terrifying strength while maintaining a human body, it was simply incredible.

But he didn't know that Ren Qing's mind was not on himself at all.

Ren Qing glanced obscurely at the blood moon.

He felt that although he couldn't use techniques, the jailers in the prison within his abdomen should be fine, after all, the possession of strange objects mainly blessed the body.

He released the ghost wolf, while observing the changes in the blood moon.

If there was the slightest abnormality, Ren Qing would immediately cancel the technique, and then leave the Gibbous Moon Layer and go to the New Moon Layer.

Just as Wen Yu was watching, the Taoist robe worn by Ren Qing was propped open, silver-white wolf hair grew all over his body, and the joints and face were covered with hideous bone armor.

The oppression brought by the ghost wolf transformation was extremely strong.

However, the crowd vying for the Qingqiu Dao lineage had long gone crazy, fighting and killing each other, even if they put on fox skin, others would want to peel it off.

Such a scene was like a human hell, and the light of the blood moon seemed to have the ability to amplify the desires of the heart, making the situation even more out of control.

Ren Qing shook his bone tail, maybe the ghost wolf had not completed a strange transformation even once, and the improvement did not seem obvious after not possessing for a long time.

"You... your demon body seems to be a Chi Wolf?"

Seeing this, Wen Yu squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "The Chi Wolf demon cultivators of Bingxing Mountain, we Qingqiu do not interfere with each other..."

Before he finished speaking, Ren Qing withdrew from the demon body again, returning to his original human form, and Wen Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"When I visit Bingxing Mountain, I will definitely send hundreds of pairs of virgin boys and girls."

"There is no need for that, I just changed a demon body."

The wind and sand rolled up.

There is still one chapter, wait a moment.
