The Secret Way of Immortality

Since there were no city gates for entry or exit in Wuwu City, sand ships could only dock beside the White Bone Glazed Top, waiting for cultivators to leap onto the deck.

The sand ship appeared to be only about ten meters in size from the outside, but the interior space, due to the Taotie's bizarre object, could accommodate at least several hundred people.

The people stopped their work and raised their heads to discuss the sand ship.

Even though the Strange Embryo artifacts had become completely popular, large-scale Strange Embryo artifacts were rare, especially since the sand ship emitted an aura equivalent to the Ghost Envoy realm.

Ren Qing privately refined ten sand ships for the Forbidden Soldiers Hall, and the Head in a Jar refined three more, gradually reaching a total of nearly twenty.

However, due to the difficulty in advancing Strange Embryo artifacts, only two sand ships had reached the Ghost Envoy realm.

To deal with the strange and unusual events, the Forbidden Soldiers Hall dispatched a Ghost Envoy realm sand ship from afar to Wuwu City, demonstrating their importance to Jing Prefecture.

"Let's set off."

Li Tiangang stood at the bow of the ship, looking around. The cultivators were already eager to try, and they also cast spells to shroud the ship in a thin mist.

The sand ship left Wuwu City, heading northeast in a mighty manner.

According to previous investigations, there was a strange creature resembling a pangolin there, its body integrated into the mountain rocks, constantly releasing demonic energy.

There were about twenty or thirty demonic beasts surrounding the strange creature, which had previously attempted to attack Wuwu City, but obviously failed.

Later, the two forces lived in peace, and there had been no conflicts in recent years.

The mountain formed by the strange creature trembled violently, as if vaguely sensing danger.

It wanted to break free from the shackles of the earth and stay away from Wuwu City as much as possible, but soon discovered that the demonic beasts were trying to stop it.

The mountain was full of lizard demonic beasts, and houses had formed a certain scale, and a altar for receiving demon immortals had been secretly built.

The demonic beasts naturally refused to escape, after all, the altar was about to take shape.

Just as they were in a stalemate, dense dark clouds enveloped the top of their heads, and part of the sand ship was exposed from within the clouds.

With Li Tiangang's order, a large number of wood-attribute spells descended from the sky.

The surroundings of the mountain were immediately surrounded by vegetation, some with human faces, others filled with serrated leaves and suction roots.

The movements of the strange creature became more and more intense, causing landslides and fallen trees.

"Suppress..."

Li Tiangang snorted coldly, took out a piece of white paper, and pointed at it from a distance.

The strange creature unwillingly wanted to resist, but soon regained its calm.

If it were before the great changes in Jing Prefecture, a single strange creature would indeed be in the Pseudo-Yang God realm, making it not so easy for Li Tiangang to deal with.

But now, except for the Corpse Elephant, the strange creatures have been transformed into something similar to spiritual veins, whose main function is to constantly release demonic energy.

Now, the strength of the strange creature was completely at Li Tiangang's disposal.

The old lizard demon's face was ashen. It was too late when he realized something was wrong. Obviously, the other party came prepared and did not intend to let go of a single demon.

He said in a low voice, "Let a few thick-skinned and fleshy great demons force their way out."

"Seek support from the nearby demon beasts, that Tiger Walk Mountain..."

"Elder..."

The lizard demon swallowed and couldn't help but nudge the old lizard, saying, "Elder, Tiger Walk Mountain, seems to have already arrived."

He pointed to the distance, where more than a dozen tiger beasts were collapsing towards the mountain.

"Is there any hope..."

Just as the old lizard muttered to himself, a large number of eyes opened on the fur of the tiger beasts, and the light they emitted stung the eyes.

Zhang Yi's location at Tiger Walk Mountain was not far away. When he sensed the aura of the Forbidden Soldiers magic, he guessed that the demon immortals intended to attack the group of lizards, so he hurriedly came with the demons.

Li Tiangang frowned slightly when he saw this, clearly detecting traces of the Nameless magic from the demon beasts. The leading tiger demon had even reached the Ghost Envoy realm.

It must be Ren Qing's doing. No wonder he wanted to capture the demon beasts alive.

However, he also noticed the potential shown by the demon beasts. The degree of alienation of many tiger demons, if it were Forbidden Soldiers, would have already lost control, but the demon beasts seemed calm.

Jiang Feng hesitated and asked, "Senior Li Tiangang, what do you think..."

"Let them pass, let them all prepare."

At Li Tiangang's instruction, the spells surrounding the mountain cracked open to a half-meter path, allowing the tiger beasts to rush towards the lizard demons.

The cultivators simultaneously drove their magical artifacts down.

Fortunately, because of the demon cultivators, the Taoist disciples mixed in had changed their views on demons a lot, otherwise they might have killed the tiger demons together.

The three-way battle was more straightforward than expected.

The lizard demons thought about resisting, but they were quickly defeated in the face of enemies who outnumbered and outmatched them.

Seeing that the situation had been controlled by the demon immortals, Zhang Yi chose to stay far away at the bottom of the mountain.

Li Tiangang glanced at the tiger demons, reached out to let the cultivators heal the seriously injured lizard demons, and then sealed them all in the paper.

After the disposal was completed, only a mess was left in place, and even the strange creature disappeared.

Zhang Yi hurriedly shouted, "Come with me, immortals, I know the location of the strange creatures within a hundred miles, I will lead you there."

After he finished speaking, he ran towards the west.

The sand ship followed behind the tiger beast group, while Li Tiangang was wary of Zhang Yi's rebellion.

However, Li Tiangang was obviously overthinking. After the three strange creature forces near Wuwu City were sealed, the tiger demons silently left again.

Zhang Yi planned to support Hu Wen, so that more fellow practitioners could escape from the sea of suffering.

The Forbidden Soldiers Hall ended the suppression of the strange creatures, and then returned to Wuwu City. The more distant strange creature forces could only be left alone.

Li Tiangang continued to carry out the large project of refining Wuwu City into a Strange Embryo artifact, using bird-like strange beasts to hand the paper sealed with the strange demon beasts to Ren Qing.

Ren Qing took the opportunity to harvest three strange creatures and more than two hundred demon beasts.

He absorbed them into the Eternal Cage, drained the demonic energy from the demon beasts, and directly distributed them to the various tribes, under the guise of transformation.

However, in order to improve the efficiency of the demon beasts in mining materials, Ren Qing also taught them the Underworld Skyworm magic, and collected Nether Essence by the way.

Ren Qing didn't know if there was enough time for the Underworld skill to break through the Distraction stage, so he had to increase the speed at which the Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Worm absorbed Nether Essence as much as possible.

At the same time, there were many other things he had to deal with.

The study of the patterns on the surface of the altar, and the stripping of the insect molts buried deep under Wuwu City, to prepare for the Forbidden Soldiers Hall to evacuate Jing Prefecture.

Ren Qing simply dug a dry well in the courtyard and came to the insect molts underground.

The appearance of the insect molts was like a long snake bone, the whole was composed of translucent white crystals, and exuded a strong true essence.

"Everything can be pseudo-dragonized, even insect molts should not be immune."

Ren Qing stroked the insect molts, then sat cross-legged beside the insect molts, closed his eyes and used the Dragon Roar in the Box, and distracted himself to ponder the structure of the altar.

The insect molts were like strange objects about to recover, and they wriggled slightly.

After Ren Qing reached the Yang God realm, the Dragon Roar in the Box could also be more carefully refined, so that the pseudo-dragon was stained with the characteristics of the five spells.

He naturally used the Underworld skill as the main, and the Shadowless Ghost as the auxiliary to refine the insect molts.

However, the insect molts involved earth immortals after all, and the progress of pseudo-dragonization was conceivable. It was unrealistic to see results in a short time.

He also had to take into account cracking the altar.

The demon beasts relied entirely on strange creatures to arrange the altar, and they didn't know the mystery it contained.

Wuwu City was therefore bright day and night. Everyone felt that a storm was coming. They operated like gears that make up a machine, participating in heavy and boring work.

Time flies.

Several months passed in a flash.

The changes in Wuwu City were actually not great, at most, the bricks were refined into one, and the aura emitted was rather restrained.

The cultivators guarding the city clearly felt the difference.

The number of demon beasts attacking the city was increasing, and the frequency was becoming more and more dense. Even a few days ago, there was a scene of hundreds of demon beasts coming.

Even the cultivation of the demon beasts was steadily increasing.

Miscellaneous demons equivalent to martial artists were already very rare. The demon beasts attacking the city were almost all composed of small demons, occasionally mixed with great demons.

Fortunately, even the Yin Difference realm was difficult to break through the city wall, and it was not difficult to resist the demon beasts.

But only Ren Qing and others knew that the situation in Jing Prefecture was no longer optimistic, and the rabbit toad cultivators' recuperation was about to end.

But whether it was stripping the insect molts or refining Wuwu City, they were all still far behind, which caused the Forbidden Soldiers Hall to still have to stay in Jing Prefecture.

However, ordinary people had already begun to evacuate one after another. A full 20,000 people were going to Huangsha City to settle down temporarily, waiting for the opportunity to go to Xiangxiang.

Ren Qing even had a strange feeling that the nature of the demon beast attack had changed.

Originally, it should have been a test of Wuwu City by the strange creature forces, but the nearby strange creatures had already been sealed, and in theory, the demon beast attack should have shown a decreasing trend.

Wait...could it be intentional?

Ren Qing couldn't help but have a frantic heartbeat, and then summoned all the Yin Difference realms, including Song Zongwu, to the narrow courtyard.

When the others had just sat down, Ren Qing opened his mouth and said, "The rabbit toad cultivators are likely to have already known the existence of the Forbidden Soldiers Hall..."

The rabbit toad cultivators let the demon beasts attack the city not because they were afraid of Wuwu City, but by consuming the number of demon beasts, so that more demonic energy returned to the world, increasing the demonic energy content of Jing Prefecture.

When the demonic energy was strong enough, the rabbit toad cultivators would be able to completely recover from their injuries.

The rabbit toad cultivators who can come alive to the Crescent Moon layer are definitely in the Yang God realm, but they will fall into the Yin Difference realm because of their incomplete bodies.

Wuwu City, as the last area that has not been eroded by demonic energy, is simply a must-contend place.

They will definitely attack Wuwu City, and even come in person sooner or later.

Fortunately, the Forbidden Soldiers Hall noticed it relatively early, and there was still a chance to counter.

Ren Qing proposed to attract part of the Black Mountain Goat to descend on the Remnant Moon layer to contain the rabbit toad cultivators, and there would be hope for a complete retreat in this game.

Li Tiangang wanted to say something but stopped. It was really a crazy idea, but it was normal from Ren Qing, and the grasp of it was not clear.

Song Zongwu did not open his mouth to reply, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point. It took him a long time to say, "Follow Ren Qing's meaning and cooperate with him to lure the Heavenly Demon to Jing Prefecture."

The Yin Difference realms looked at each other. Li Tiangang agreed second: "Let's do it like this. Ren Qing continues to ponder the altar, and we will try our best to cooperate with him to defend against the attacks of the demon beasts."

At present, whether Jing Prefecture leans towards the Heavenly Demon or the Blood Moon, Xiangxiang will inevitably be affected. Fortunately, the worst result is migration.

When Song Zongwu made the decision, it also meant that the meeting was over.

The Yin Difference realms were busy with their own affairs, and Ren Qing then returned to the underground to continue his retreat.

Most of the Yin Difference realms went to assist in refining into Strange Embryo artifacts, and Li Yaoyang used the concealment of the Gu worms to send strange objects outside the city, building a restricted area to defend against the attacks of the demon beasts.

The surface of Wuwu City was calm, and the demon beast tide seemed to be sending resources, making many cultivators couldn't help but feel happy.

But the problem is, what if the demon beast tide really concentrated the demon beasts of the entire Jing Prefecture?
