The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing stood on the mountain peak for a long time, until he sensed the aura of the Yang God realm erupting, then he reacted and hurried down the mountain.

Song Zongwu closed his eyes tightly, concealing his own spells, showing no trace of Buddhist energy, as if the Hundred Buddha Diagram had never appeared.

But only he himself knew that the Immovable Scripture was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, and it would be tightly缠住 (chán zhù -缠住 means entangled, but I'm not sure of the best translation here) until he achieved enlightenment.

Even if he achieved perfect merit and cultivated into a Buddha far beyond imagination, it would only last for a few decades, how could he resist the final destiny.

Many brilliant Buddhist monks had been transformed into a part of the Hundred Buddha Diagram, and the Buddhist energy seemed to be an inescapable curse.

Ren Qing shook his head, if there was anything in the world that could exempt him from the cost of Buddhist spells, it must be his information flow.

But it was unknown how much lifespan would be required to exempt him from the cost of Buddhist spells.

Buddhist energy was not like a Heavenly Dao worm larva just hatched from an egg, it was a spell that had devoured dozens or hundreds of generations of Buddhas.

Ren Qing suspected that even a thousand years of lifespan might not be enough to exempt him from the drawbacks of Buddhist spells.

If Song Zongwu wanted to get rid of the Buddhist enlightenment, he could only wait until the Jailer's spells surpassed the Buddhist spells, and then try to剥离 (bō lí -剥离 means to peel off, but I'm not sure of the best translation here) the Buddhist energy in his body.

But the Deer Riding Arhat might be above the Heavenly Gu realm, then he must break through to the Earth Immortal.

It's too difficult.

The upper limit of the Jailer's method is there, and the path behind must be explored by himself.

What Ren Qing can do is rely on the information flow to break through to the Earth Immortal stage, and then help Song Zongwu and others to become immortals and attain the Dao.

"But the Earth Immortal stage..."

"Advancing to the Heavenly Gu realm is a big trouble, maybe it requires ten thousand years of lifespan, how can spells extend lifespan for ten thousand years..."

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes.

Unless there is an Undying Scripture that is not old, not alive, not dead, and indestructible, can he see the hope of becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao within hundreds of years.

Longevity, longevity.

For him, the word longevity represents too much.

Ren Qing suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and then released a ghost shadow to protect Song Zongwu, while he disappeared in place with a few flashes.

The low hills were full of the figures of妖兽 (yāo shòu -妖兽 means demon beasts).

Their respective forces actually had many gaps, but because of White Bone Mountain, they unexpectedly had an inexplicable connection of camaraderie.

The demon beasts wanted to figure out the situation, why was it that not long ago there was still a landslide and a ground裂 (liè -裂 means crack), but now White Bone Mountain has suddenly returned to calm.

However, the demons had different thoughts, and no one proposed going to White Bone Mountain.

Hu Wen's eyes rolled, and he couldn't help but have a calculation in his heart.

When he returned to Qingqiu, he was actually just a servant under his great-grandmother, it was better to lead the other demon beasts to establish his own门户 (mén hù - 门户 means household, but here it means something closer to organization or faction).

With a妖仙 (yāo xiān -妖仙 means demon immortal) backing him, it should not be difficult to play both sides.

Moreover, using the妖仙 (yāo xiān -妖仙 means demon immortal)'s disciple as a gimmick, he could easily win over a large number of demon beasts, which was far more逍遥 (xiāo yáo - 逍遥 means free and unfettered) than a妖王 (yāo wáng -妖王 means demon king) in a corner.

Hu Wen secretly pondered the possibilities, and incidentally considered his rhetoric.

At this time, Ren Qing appeared overhead, still wearing a neat Taoist robe, as if facing the corpse elephant had not taken much effort at all.

"Congratulations to the妖仙 (yāo xiān -妖仙 means demon immortal) for destroying the powerful enemy..."

"Long live the妖仙 (yāo xiān -妖仙 means demon immortal)..."

The demon beasts hurriedly knelt down and shouted, all wanting to continue to receive the immortal method taught by the妖仙 (yāo xiān -妖仙 means demon immortal), but unexpectedly heard Ren Qing say this.

"I will be leaving Jingzhou soon, but I can give you another opportunity."

Ren Qing did not give them time to react, and the ability of the至暗魇主 (zhì àn yǎn zhǔ - 至暗魇主 means the ultimate dark nightmare lord) was used, and it was also配合 (pèi hé - 配合 means coordinated) with the primary and secondary spells of the Disaster Elimination Method.

The light and shadow were distorted, like a dream.

The mountain instantly fell into boundless darkness, the demon beasts lost control of their bodies and souls, as if falling to the bottom of the abyss.

In fact, their consciousness was pulled into the Eternal Interrogation Cage.

Ren Qing put the demon beasts who had mastered the Entering God Technique into the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market), and the rest were used to fill the deserted妖市 (yāo shì -妖市 means demon market).

A剧变 (jù biàn - 剧变 means drastic change) occurred in the Eternal Interrogation Cage, but only in the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market).

The aura of the Heavenly Demon infiltrated the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market) transformed from a dream, and the地砖 (dì zhuān - 地砖 means floor tiles) merged with each other, and then presented a bloody appearance.

The other markets did not notice, and even the妖市 (yāo shì -妖市 means demon market) did not even have a shadow of a person.

However, there were many妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) hiding in the dark on Wine Lake Island, they looked at the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market) in shock, and their bodies冒出了鸡皮疙瘩 (mào chū le jī pí g疙瘩 - 冒出了鸡皮疙瘩 means to have goosebumps).

The aura of the Heavenly Demon was in a semi-real and semi-illusory state, vaguely like the head of a black mountain goat, and the hollow pupils were filled with the most extreme evil in the world.

The street where the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market) was located was like the tongue in the mouth of the black mountain goat.

妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) Teng Ning took a breath of cold air, turned to look at the man in the Taoist robe beside him, and asked incredulously: "Han Li, didn't you say that the dream market will eventually merge into one?"

Han Li's hood covered his face, he didn't know what means he used, but he actually came to Wine Lake Island from the dream market.

"Well, the Jailer Hall has issued an announcement that the妖市 (yāo shì -妖市 means demon market) where you are located will also be merged into the Ghost Market, but the time is unknown."

Teng Ning nodded with a沉着脸 (chén zhe liǎn - 沉着脸 means a gloomy face).

The妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) in the Eternal Interrogation Cage have now formed a规模 (guī mó -规模 means scale), and they are divided into部落 (bù luò - 部落 means tribes) according to the different jailers to which they belong.

They also elected Teng Ning as the leader.

Although the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) have no survival pressure, they can invisibly feel urgency.

Teng Ning still remembered the words that Ren Qing had told them, that one day in the future they would go to the outside world to deal with powerful enemies related to异诡 (yì guǐ - 异诡 means strange anomalies).

The妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) secretly accumulated power, and Teng Ning also met Han Li during this period, and also learned about the situation in the outside world from the other party.

Teng Ning wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to perform meritorious service and lead his tribe to join the Jailer Hall.

But the arrival of hundreds of demon beasts in the dream market made his heart sink.

It seems that妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) are not irreplaceable.

Teng Ning and others had Ren Qing's words in their minds, telling them not to reveal any information to the demon beasts from the outside world, but they could trade.

"Brother Han Li, there's big trouble."

Han Li glanced at Teng Ning, his attention focused on the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market) not far away.

I saw that there were many figures in the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market), although their consciousness had come to the market, the demon beasts were all wearing the strange appearance of black mountain goats.

After the demon beasts came to the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market) in a恍惚 (huǎng hū - 恍惚 means daze), they noticed the influence of the aura of the Heavenly Demon, and they couldn't help but加重 (jiā zhòng - 加重 means to increase) their breathing.

The strange environment of the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market) made them feel like a duck to water.

Under the stimulation of the aura of the Heavenly Demon, the content about the Entering God Technique涌上心头 (yǒng shàng xīn tóu - 涌上心头 means to well up in one's heart), and the difficulties encountered in cultivation were quickly solved.

Teng Ning's heart was full of a sense of crisis, and he couldn't help but ask: "Han Li, cultivation resources alone are far from enough, is there any..."

"Spells?"

Teng Ning's eyes were炯炯 (jiǒng jiǒng - 炯炯 means bright and piercing), the tribe must master the Jailer's method, even if it caused deaths and injuries.

Han Li just wanted to refuse, but suddenly his expression became flustered, and after a while he said: "Yes, I will bring the spells next time."

"Thank you."

Teng Ning quickly thanked Han Li, his expression relieved.

Han Li shook his head with a苦笑 (kǔ xiào - 苦笑 means bitter smile).

Han Li didn't want to take risks, but Ren Qing's voice sounded in his mind, asking him to agree to the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators)'s request, and the spells would also be provided by him.

Ren Qing didn't intend to blame Han Li, but was just deeply surprised by the latter's boldness.

He had intentionally left loopholes in the defense leading to Wine Lake Island in his early years, anyway, Wine Lake was shrouded in mist, and there were ghost ships and Kunpeng in the water.

Even if you are on the island, you can't see far outside the lake, and you have to get Kunpeng's consent to go to the mainland.

Ren Qing just wanted to see if any妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) would sneak into the Ghost Market仙市 (xiān shì - 仙市 means Immortal Market), which was a hidden opportunity for the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) forces.

As for why the妖市 (yāo shì -妖市 means demon market) was not fully opened, mainly because the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) at that time were侵蚀 (qīn shí - 侵蚀 means eroded) by妖气 (yāo qì -妖气 means demon energy), and their intelligence was somewhat wrong.

It seemed normal, but in fact it was not far from madness.

Ren Qing himself had forgotten about this, but Han Li摘了桃子 (zhāi le táo zi - 摘了桃子 means to reap the fruits of someone else's labor).

Han Li mastered the Netherworld Heavenly Worm Method, and went to practice the Eyeless Method 重瞳者 (chóng tóng zhě - 重瞳者 means double pupils), and secretly slipped out of the仙市 (xiān shì - 仙市 means Immortal Market) by using his aura.

He even got involved with the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) forces and started smuggling cultivation resources.

The妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) used the materials produced by the Eternal Interrogation Cage in exchange.

Han Li's Shadowless Ghost recently broke through to the Ghost Envoy realm, and is a leader among the Taoist disciples, which shows how much he has赚得盆满钵满 (zhuàn dé pén mǎn bō mǎn - 赚得盆满钵满 means to make a lot of money).

Of course, if you want to bring it out of the dream market, you must go through the Great Dream Pavilion, Han Li is acting as an agent to exchange resources and earn the中间价 (zhōng jiān jià - 中间价 means middle price).

Ren Qing showed a smile.

His plan for the妖市 (yāo shì -妖市 means demon market) is to first let the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators)囤积 (tún jī - 囤积 means hoard) enough materials, and then let the two sides互通有无 (hù tōng yǒu wú - 互通有无 means to exchange what one has for what one needs) when the time is right.

It's not a bad thing to make contact in advance now, Ren Qing instructed Han Li to hand over the Jailer's Method to the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) to accelerate the progress of the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators)'s strength.

Ren Qing considered releasing the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) from the Eternal Interrogation Cage one after another in the next few years.

As for the role of the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market), it was somewhat beyond his expectations, and even broke Ren Qing's original plan to harvest lifespan.

The aura of the Heavenly Demon is very契合 (qì hé - 契合 means agree with) with梦境 (mèng jìng - 梦境 means dream) related spells, which led to a special reaction between the two, which made Ren Qing feel莫名 (mò míng - 莫名 means inexplicable).

Saying it is a dream market, the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market) is actually more like a trial ground.

Anyone who masters the Beast Pen Method and enters it will feel extremely clear灵智 (líng zhì - 灵智 means intelligence), and the difficulties encountered in cultivation will be solved.

Of course, it is only limited to the Beast Pen Method.

Ren Qing can also use the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market) to quietly steal the aura of the Heavenly Demon, and even use the Entering Dream Technique to change the memory of the Beast Pen Method cultivators.

But if you have not mastered the Beast Pen Method, you will be eroded by the aura of the Heavenly Demon.

This erosion is not like being in the outside world, after all, the aura of the Heavenly Demon is greatly约束 (yuē shù - 约束 means restricted) in the Eternal Interrogation Cage, and it still acts on the cultivator's consciousness.

Even if the consciousness is磨灭 (mó miè - 磨灭 means obliterated), it will not cause damage to the soul, but can suppress the异化 (yì huà - 异化 means alienation)失控 (shī kòng - 失控 means out of control) caused by the spell.

The修士 (xiū shì - 修士 means cultivator) who is about to break through the bottleneck, his consciousness will be磨练 (mó liàn - 磨练 means tempered) and encounter the心魔劫 (xīn mó jié - 心魔劫 means inner demon tribulation), and he will have more把握 (bǎ wò - 把握 means assurance) than ordinary修士 (xiū shì - 修士 means cultivator).

Ren Qing plans to open the魔市 (mó shì -魔市 means demon market) to the Jailer Hall on weekdays, and also strictly limit the time that the妖兽 (yāo shòu -妖兽 means demon beasts) who have mastered the Entering God Technique are in it.

Hu Wen and other妖兽 (yāo shòu -妖兽 means demon beasts) have begun to explore the妖市 (yāo shì -妖市 means demon market), and what interests them most is the Great Dream Pavilion that sells materials.

Even if there are not many kinds of materials, there are many that can be used to help cultivation.

As for the indifferent妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators), they treat them as ordinary residents and ignore them.

They found that the biggest feature of the妖市 (yāo shì -妖市 means demon market) is交易 (jiāo yì - 交易 means trade), even if the妖兽 (yāo shòu -妖兽 means demon beasts) are thousands of miles apart, they can still exchange what they have for what they need through梦境 (mèng jìng - 梦境 means dream).

Hu Wen summoned all the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) to the open space.

He发挥 (fā huī - 发挥 means to bring into play) his three-inch tongue, and actually established a妖宗 (yāo zōng - 妖宗 means demon sect) with hundreds of妖兽 (yāo shòu -妖兽 means demon beasts) as the main force, and the妖修 (yāo xiū -妖修 means demon cultivators) who made up the sect were all over Jingzhou.

The妖兽 (yāo shòu -妖兽 means demon beasts) will still传播 (chuán bō - 传播 means spread) the immortal method, but they all tacitly concealed the existence of the妖市 (yāo shì -妖市 means demon market) and shared this opportunity.

There is also Ren Qing's push, using梦境 (mèng jìng - 梦境 means dream) spells to deepen their念头 (niàn tou - 念头 means thoughts), otherwise, how can it be so simple to统一 (tǒng yī - 统一 means unify) opinions in a mixed bag.

After dawn, the妖兽 (yāo shòu -妖兽 means demon beasts) left White Bone Mountain as if nothing had happened.

Song Zongwu woke up ten days later, the temperament of a Buddhist monk on his body disappeared, like a wandering武者 (wǔ zhě - 武者 means martial artist)侠客 (xiá kè - 侠客 means knight errant).

Ren Qing narrated the matters concerning the妖兽 (yāo shòu -妖兽 means demon beasts) to Song Zongwu, and the latter will naturally contact the Jailer Hall to make modifications to the布局 (bù jú - 布局 means layout).

妖气 (yāo qì -妖气 means demon energy) is汹涌 (xiōng yǒng - 汹涌 means surging), and the clouds遮蔽 (zhē bì - 遮蔽 means obscure) the残月 (cán yuè - 残月 means crescent moon).

There is one more chapter, wait a moment.
