The Secret Way of Immortality

The stomach and intestines were deathly silent, with the cultivators finding their own zombification unbelievable.

They watched as corpse spots appeared on their skin, and with a scratch of their nails, narrow wounds would appear, emitting a foul stench.

The zombification wasn't just affecting their skin and flesh, but even their internal organs and bones began to decay.

Not a single cultivator could remain indifferent to such a bizarre situation, and they all tried various methods to resolve the problem.

Some extreme cultivators couldn't help but mutilate themselves, constantly using sharp objects to cut off the rotting flesh, but this only made the zombification worse.

More composed cultivators sat cross-legged and practiced their techniques, trying to suppress the zombification with strange objects.

However, they soon discovered that the zombification was like a mutation, seemingly irreversible.

The cultivators fled from the stomach and intestines in a panic, but the zombification continued even within the stomach world, albeit at a slightly slower pace.

What shocked them the most was that the creatures of the stomach world, despite not having contact with the outside world, were also undergoing zombification.

As if afflicted by a strange curse, they could only watch in despair as they succumbed.

In just a short while, many cultivators from the Warden Hall fell into madness, and even their souls began to mutate and lose control.

Only the Cishi people could barely maintain their composure, sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures.

However, as their throats gradually rotted, the sounds they made became increasingly hoarse and distorted, sending chills down people's spines.

Real Person Yuhua spat out several puppet maggots, but they were already lifeless before they could leave his body.

Other Yin Embodiment Realm cultivators tried to cast spells or deploy magical artifacts, hoping to shield themselves from the outside aura, but to no avail.

Li Tiangang saw that some of the Wardens' eyes were turning red, and if he didn't stop them, chaos would inevitably ensue, so he shouted loudly.

"Everyone, be quiet!!!"

They turned their heads and noticed that Li Tiangang didn't have any signs of zombification, at most his skin was slightly pale, he still looked like a living person.

"We must be in a forbidden zone right now, which is why we're being affected by the rules. The zombification is just a superficial phenomenon for our bodies and souls."

"Besides, there's a solution."

Li Tiangang spoke with conviction, but in reality, his heart was filled with doubts.

Don't let his appearance fool you, the truth was that he had transferred the traces of zombification to the inside of his body through paper.

Of course, the most important thing was that the zombification didn't affect his body or soul, even if his heart stopped beating.

The cultivators then noticed the unique aura of the forbidden zone around them.

Han Li frowned and looked at Little San'er, whose eyes were as turbid as if he had been dead for a long time, but the No-Eyed Technique showed no signs of weakening.

Thousands of people discussed, guessing what kind of technique or strange object had formed the forbidden zone.

In their opinion, the forbidden zone was at most at the Yang God Realm, and with Ren Qing sitting in the Warden Hall, entering and exiting the forbidden zone safely wouldn't be a problem.

The cultivators from Xiangxiang had dealt with forbidden zones for almost half their lives, and some had even personally participated in sealing and eliminating the Disaster Forbidden Zone and the Immortal Devouring Forbidden Zone.

They realized that it would take some time for their bodies to completely turn into withered bones, and the rate of decay was gradually slowing down.

"It should be the unique rules of the forbidden zone, it won't lead to death."

Bai Gu Niang said with a nod, besides the zombification of her own flesh and blood, even her natal flying sword showed signs of decay.

They chatted aimlessly, silently waiting for Ren Qing to arrive.

Before long, the sound of waves crashing against rocks could be heard.

The ghost ship rushed out of the pond, and liquefied Youyuan splashed everywhere. Ren Qing landed in the empty stomach, and in a few flashes, he arrived at the temporary camp.

Ren Qing gave the cultivators a reassurance.

"It is indeed due to the forbidden zone that your bodies have turned into corpses, but it won't lead to death."

He rushed to the stomach, and his aura hadn't yet been restrained, immediately displaying the terrifying power of the Yang God Realm.

Ren Qing's Dream Flower Heavy Pupils opened on his forehead, using it to examine them.

He saw that the vitality in the cultivators' bodies was gradually being lost, but at the same time, there was no sign of death, they were on the edge of life and death.

The creatures seemed to have turned into corpses that couldn't die, even if their bodies were still decaying.

Ren Qing secretly guessed that "death" in the Dead Man Forbidden Zone must have been defined as other rules, which led to this situation.

The ghost shadows spread out, and information flowed when they came into contact with Little San'er.

【Zhou Zuo San】

【Age: Thirty-seven】

【Lifespan: None】

【Techniques: No-Eyed Technique (Siamese Nightmares), Cloud-Seeking Hand (All-Purpose Skillful Hand), Taotie Technique (Prison in the Belly)】

Ren Qing couldn't help but narrow his eyes, his breathing became rapid, could zombification be considered a kind of immortality?

He checked several people in a row and found that except for himself, as long as the cultivators showed signs of zombification, their lifespan would become "None".

Ren Qing forcibly suppressed the urge to explore, and then said, "Zombification is not irreversible, don't panic too much."

Under the gaze of thousands of people, Ren Qing's body emitted a faint white light, giving the cultivators a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

The Rebirth Technique was cast, and a rich vitality gushed out of the stomach world, turning into a drizzle in the air and falling into the temporary camp.

They felt warmth flowing through their bodies, and the traces of zombification disappeared.

In a moment, the fresh internal organs began to work again, and the senses of taste and smell returned at the same time, showing no signs of the disadvantages brought by zombification.

In Ren Qing's information flow, the lifespan of the cultivators returned to their original dozens or hundreds of years, instead of the strange "None".

After a large amount of vitality from the Rebirth Yellow Springs was drawn to the outside world, it was inevitable that an equal amount of death would overflow, which was then absorbed by the diseased tree in the Niwan Palace.

Li Tiangang saw that Ren Qing could really resist the erosion of zombification, so he felt relieved.

Even if the Rebirth Technique was no longer maintained, zombification would inevitably reappear, but at least the cultivators wouldn't inexplicably turn into withered bones.

Ren Qing handed over the mess to Li Tiangang, who helped to appease the cultivators.

He had to figure out the zombification, otherwise, when the diseased tree's digestion of death reached saturation, let alone the hundreds of thousands of Cishi people in the stomach world, even the thousands of cultivators in the intestines would be in trouble.

Before Ren Qing determined the harm, he would cast the Rebirth Technique once every period of time to ensure that the zombification would not reach the final stage.

At the same time, he instructed the artifact refiners of the Warden Hall to put down their work and concentrate on the artifact transformation of the bladder, striving to complete it as soon as possible.

Ren Qing was preparing to use the giant corpse Buddha's bladder as the mutated organ for the Rebirth Technique.

If zombification was really harmful, only the giant corpse Buddha, who also mastered the Rebirth Technique, would have enough vitality to maintain tens of thousands of people.

The Rebirth Technique doesn't act on the bladder, it just needs an internal organ as a container.

The five viscera of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys have already been arranged, and most of the six bowels, including the Sanjiao, bladder, large intestine, small intestine, gallbladder, and stomach, have also completed their mutation.

After thinking about it, Ren Qing felt that the bladder was indeed the best organ to hold the Rebirth Technique.

It was a pity that there were no strange objects of higher realms, the Martial Artist Realm and Half-Corpse Realm strange objects were still obtained when the Longevity Forbidden Zone was besieged.

The Half-Corpse Realm strange objects included the Reincarnator and the Rebirther, he naturally chose the latter.

【Rebirth Technique】

【Created by the Longevity Dao Lord, it requires one month of fasting, two months of sleeplessness, three months of understanding death, and four months of rebirth, it can only be cultivated when the body decays.】

Ren Qing then gradually drew out the vitality in his body, and his appearance leaned towards a corpse, even more exaggerated than ordinary cultivators.

When cultivators were affected by the Dead Man Forbidden Zone, zombification usually had a process.

Just like going from the Corroded Blood Plains to the Corpse Stench Hills and then to the Corpse Lake, they experienced the natural decay process of a corpse from fresh to skeletal.

As for Ren Qing, his vitality was only drawn out by half, and he instantly turned into a withered state.

His appearance was like a mummy locked in a pyramid for thousands of years, showing no human features at all, looking abnormally terrifying.

The cultivators passing by Ren Qing couldn't help but swallow, they were really frightened by him.

Ren Qing ignored the reactions of the others, and focused all his attention on his own information flow.

【Ren Qing】

【Lifespan: None】

He couldn't help but swallow, he was eager to directly turn the technique into a Land Immortal, but he forcibly restrained himself.

Ren Qing had a premonition that if he did so, it might lead to uncontrollable zombification of his body, which could be life-threatening.

After all, his so-called "immortality" now was just relying on the Dead Man Forbidden Zone, and it must be hiding unspeakable drawbacks.

Ren Qing continued to draw out his vitality, while observing the cultivators after zombification.

When his vitality was reduced to one-tenth or two, plus the double influence of the Dead Man Forbidden Zone and the Taishui Sutra, he became strange himself.

Ren Qing felt an uncontrollable sleepiness in his heart, his internal organs had all fallen into silence, and even the strange objects stopped moving.

This state was very wonderful.

Even if all the organs in his body had died, Ren Qing was still alive, and he had abandoned many of the defects of mortals.

For example, hunger, aging, disease...

Ren Qing's expression became absurd, could it be that becoming an immortal was like this?

He shook his head.

In any case, this was not the path to immortality that he was pursuing, and he didn't think that the "Dead Man Sutra" alone could achieve transcendence.

Before his consciousness fell asleep, Ren Qing gradually increased the vitality he maintained.

He found that maintaining about 30% was an acceptable state, it consumed less vitality, but it wouldn't lead to irreversible situations.

Ren Qing called the state when sleepiness was at its worst "corpse transformation".

At his rate of vitality consumption, it would only take a few breaths to reach corpse transformation, but ordinary cultivators would take at least ten days.

Ren Qing cast the Rebirth Technique once every nine days, which could maintain the consumption of the cultivators.

The stomach world would take longer, about a month.

Ren Qing was a little helpless, the vitality and death in the Rebirth Yellow Springs didn't come from nowhere, and if it continued like this for a long time, it would inevitably be exhausted.

He had to hurry up and complete the artifact transformation of the bladder, personally presiding over the inscription of the moon patterns.

Ren Qing also told the cultivators in the Longevity Forbidden Zone to pay more attention to the Longevity Species, he didn't mind obtaining strange objects by hunting.

Unfortunately, there were very few Longevity Species containing the Rebirth Technique strange object, it could only depend on luck.

Three days later, the bladder finally turned black and white, inside was a pool of distinctly layered spring water, actually presenting a Tai Chi shape.

Then, under Ren Qing's tireless nourishment, spending a lot of resources, it was promoted to the Half-Corpse Realm, and the pool of water expanded twenty or thirty times.

It should be barely enough to supply the cultivators in the intestines.
