The Secret Way of Immortality

After the transaction began, life essence continuously poured into Ren Qing's body.

Since his Dream Realm Art advanced to the Immortal of Non-Life, the Dream Butterfly Art's ability had greatly increased, extracting life essence at an even higher rate.

It might not be noticeable when used on ordinary cultivators, but when used on those in the Yang God realm, life essence accumulated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He felt that his Dream Realm Art was more than enough to advance to a Transcendent Immortal Art, and the remaining life essence was enough to push the Disaster Elimination Art to the Yang God realm, as well as complete the supplementary arts of the Dead Man Sutra.

Ren Qing calmed his mind and then gifted the Shellback Man to Sen Sheng through a bird-type strange beast.

Almost all Forbidden Prison Art cultivators follow the path of fusing two arts, and with the Cocoon Man's talent, he could cultivate the Human Skin Book and the Shellback Man.

The two arts complemented each other in offense and defense, allowing the Cocoon Man to become a mainstay of the Forbidden Prison Hall.

After receiving Sen Sheng's grateful feedback, Ren Qing seized the time to complete his seclusion, recalling the contents of the Turtle Longevity Art.

The three aberrant paths of the Turtle Longevity Art were Longevity Seeker, Fortune Knower, and Calamity Avoider.

If Ren Qing wasn't choosing a supplementary art for the Disaster Elimination Art, he would definitely have chosen Longevity Seeker, which involved prolonging life.

The Longevity Seeker's ability was that as long as the heart rate slowed down, the consumption of life essence would decrease.

After advancing to the Ghost Envoy realm's "Close Eyes and Seek Life", slowing down movements would also affect the consumption of life essence, making it very suitable for cultivators in long-term seclusion.

As for the Yin Messenger realm's "Sitting and Forgetting Longevity", when one stopped moving, the body would turn into mountain rocks, leaving no trace even after thousands of years.

However, the drawback was that once one fell into the state of sitting and forgetting, one could not actively cancel the art until advancing to the Yang God realm's "Immovable as an Immortal".

Ren Qing secretly pondered the choice between Fortune Knower and Calamity Avoider, and ultimately decided to use Calamity Avoider as the Turtle Longevity Art's aberrant path.

He felt that all opportunities in the world were accompanied by unpredictable dangers.

Perhaps behind the so-called opportunities were hidden plots laid out by some True Immortals, and the consequence of rashly contacting them would be death and the dissipation of one's cultivation.

Ren Qing possessed the information stream, and was about to master the Dead Man Sutra.

As long as he could play it safe, not to mention the Heavenly Gu realm, becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao was not a pipe dream, so why would he court death by seeking opportunities all over the world?

[Can consume thirty days of life essence to master without cost]

Ren Qing secretly confirmed, and as thirty days of life essence flowed away, he only felt a foreign object slowly crawling from his stomach towards his throat.

The difficulty of the Turtle Longevity Art was that the baby turtle would devour flesh and blood, crawling half a finger's length each day for more than ten days, not to mention the baby turtle growing extremely fast.

When the foreign object reached his mouth, it wriggled and burrowed into his upper palate.

Ren Qing tried to touch his upper palate with his tongue, and immediately discovered a nail-sized piece of tortoise shell, as if it had been forcibly embedded into his flesh.

He felt around with his tongue for a few breaths, and the tortoise shell in his upper palate should be engraved with the character "Auspicious".

The Calamity Avoider of the Half-Corpse realm currently only displayed two hexagrams, "Auspicious" and "Ominous", so it seemed that his current situation was not bad.

This kind of art with a single ability seemed useless on the surface, but was actually extremely terrifying.

If Monk Jing had possessed the Turtle Longevity Art, unless his life essence was exhausted, no matter how recklessly he acted, it would be impossible for him to die and have his cultivation dissipate.

[Whether to choose the Calamity Avoider branch, will consume one year of life essence]

[Whether to choose the Fortune Dispelling and Calamity Avoider branch, will consume ten years of life essence]

Ren Qing continued to advance and chose the Turtle Longevity Art's aberrant branches.

The Ghost Envoy realm of the Turtle Longevity Art was called "Fortune Dispelling and Calamity Avoider". Generally, fortune and misfortune were interdependent, and avoiding calamity would naturally lead to staying away from opportunities.

Ren Qing used his tongue to press against the tortoise shell, and the hexagrams were no longer limited to auspicious and ominous.

Instead, there were six types: Greatly Auspicious, Auspicious, Auspicious with Ominous, Ominous, Ominous with Auspicious, and Greatly Ominous, allowing him to better infer the situation through the hexagrams.

If it was the Fortune Knower, the ability would be to guide cultivators to find nearby opportunities.

Ren Qing discovered that the surface of the tortoise shell in his upper palate was engraved with "Auspicious with Ominous", and the handwriting was slightly blurred, and he immediately reacted.

Auspicious referred to the opportunities he was currently obtaining, including the Dead Man Sutra and breakthroughs in his arts.

Ominous very likely indicated that being in the Dead Man Forbidden Zone harbored hidden dangers, and the Dead Man Sutra also involved Monk Jing in the world within the mirror.

For someone like Ren Qing who had a large number of life-saving methods, as long as it was not Greatly Ominous, there was still room to evacuate the Dead Man Forbidden Zone.

Fortune Dispelling and Calamity Avoider usually displayed the hexagrams in advance, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Ren Qing was quite satisfied with the Turtle Longevity Art, and controlled the Disaster Elimination Art's aberrant tree, completely associating it with the main and secondary arts of the Turtle Longevity Art.

He used this to extend more of the Turtle Longevity Art's abilities.

Ren Qing could also divine the auspiciousness of the host parasitized by the Storyteller and the doppelgangers produced by the Immortal in the Mirror, which was better than nothing.

As for the aberrant branches, he mainly strengthened the Turtle Longevity Art's ability to avoid calamity, so the first aberrant transformation he chose was "Hexagram Seal".

[Hexagram Seal]: A hexagram seal with auspicious or ominous implications will appear on the tortoise shell.

After Ren Qing completed the Hexagram Seal aberrant transformation, a strange pattern appeared on the surface of the tortoise shell in his upper palate, which should be the corpse of a monk.

He initially suspected that it was related to Old Monk Zong Qing, but the latter was hanging upside down in the world within the mirror, and there was no way to break free from the iron chains.

Ren Qing guessed that the future upheaval in the world within the mirror should involve the Maitreya Bodhisattva of Great Compassion.

The second aberrant transformation he chose was "Shattered Shell".

[Shattered Shell]: When encountering an ominous sign, cracks will appear on the tortoise shell to warn, and strengthen the effect of the Turtle Longevity Art.

Not long after Ren Qing completed the Shattered Shell aberrant transformation, his expression became extremely stiff, because a slight cracking sound actually came from his mouth.

He quickly checked the hexagrams, and fortunately it was still Auspicious with Ominous, but the tortoise shell had a faint crack, indicating that the situation was deteriorating.

Ren Qing did not dare to neglect, and carefully searched for a suitable third aberrant transformation.

In the end, he chose "Death Hexagram".

[Death Hexagram]: After a Greatly Ominous, a Death Hexagram is added. Although it represents a terrifying situation with nine deaths and no life, it can still discover a glimmer of hope.

Of course, Ren Qing hoped that he would never need to use the Death Hexagram in his life, but having it was better than not having it.

If seeking life from death was simple, there would not be fallen immortals and Buddhas. Which of the cultivators who created the arts were not amazingly talented?

Ren Qing could glean some information from the information about the arts.

The Forbidden Prison Art could be described as bizarre, but how many of the names displayed by the information stream could become immortals and attain the Dao? Currently, there were only a few.

Ren Qing did not put aside the Turtle Longevity Art like the Disguise Art, but continued to advance to the Yin Messenger realm.

[Whether to choose the branch Knowing Fate is Futile, will consume two hundred years of life essence]

He did not even care that it might delay the Dream Realm Art's advancement to a Transcendent Immortal Art. The priority of the Turtle Longevity Art was already higher than any other art.

The Turtle Longevity Art quickly reached the Yin Messenger realm's "Knowing Fate is Futile".

Most arts would undergo earth-shattering changes when advancing to the Yin Messenger realm. On the contrary, if the Yang God realm fused fewer arts, the changes would only be a strengthening of existing abilities.

But the Turtle Longevity Art seemed unremarkable.

The newest novels are first published on Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā.!

The hexagrams in the upper palate were still only seven types, and the hexagram seals were no different.

However, after Ren Qing used the tip of his tongue to press against the hexagrams in his upper palate, his eyes suddenly felt a burst of numbness, as if he was about to aberrate and lose control.

Then his left eye suddenly closed, and bone armor patterns grew on the retina of his right eye, and the world in his eyes became completely different.

Ren Qing could see a faint black mist shrouded around him, as if it was an inescapable disaster.

He then used his double pupils to make his vision penetrate the flesh of the giant corpse Buddha and see the vast and boundless Dead Man Forbidden Zone.

The world was covered in black mist, and the corpse mirror was the most concentrated.

The black mist represented ominous signs.

When the hexagrams showed Greatly Auspicious, Auspicious with Ominous, and Auspicious, his left eye could see the hidden ominous signs nearby. If he insisted on getting closer, the hexagrams would worsen.

When the hexagrams showed Greatly Ominous, Ominous with Auspicious, Ominous, and Death, his right eye would open and he could see the glimmer of hope hidden in the ominous signs.

Crack, crack, crack…

The smile on Ren Qing's face froze, and another crack appeared on the surface of the tortoise shell.

Although the crack was still very small, it showed that the Dead Man Forbidden Zone was indeed constantly developing towards ominous signs for some reason.

Fortunately, Ren Qing mastered Knowing Fate is Futile in the Yin Messenger realm, and could well distinguish between auspicious and ominous signs. It was currently only in the brewing stage.

Ren Qing signaled True Person Yu Hua to accelerate the harvesting of life essence from various forces.

Secondly, he selected some insect cultivator who were more respectful to the Earth Immortal of Fortune than the Insect Nest, and prepared to take them away before leaving to expand his manpower.

At the same time, Ren Qing had already asked Li Tian罡 to plan the evacuation of the Dead Man Forbidden Zone.

Li Tian罡 led a group of cultivators to the legs of the giant corpse Buddha and used various magic tools and arts to try to drill into the depths of the ground.

He found that if the corpse transformation of the body was not serious, it should not be difficult to evacuate the forbidden area.

Ren Qing began to fuse the aberrant branches of the Disaster Elimination Art non-stop, since he was in danger, the ability to survive naturally took priority.

There was no need to rush the Dead Man Sutra, after all, the danger of completing it in the Dead Man Forbidden Zone was too great.

Ren Qing's life essence also gradually increased in the transaction of the Rebirth Pill. After more than half a month, it had exceeded three thousand years.

In order to obtain the Rebirth Pill that could support them for a hundred years, the means used by the various forces became more and more extreme, and they began to use living people to refine resources.

True Person Yu Hua, who was in charge of the transaction, had not even reacted, and thousands of cultivators had already died.

True Person Yu Hua was accustomed to seeing flesh and bones used as resources in the Forbidden Prison Hall, but he had never encountered such an extreme situation as theirs.

Fearing that the various forces would bring about their own destruction, True Person Yu Hua simply gave away the Rebirth Pill for half price.

Anyway, Ren Qing mainly wanted to harvest more life essence, and was not interested in the scarce resources in their hands at all.

The various forces realized the strangeness, but before their life essence was exhausted, even those in the Yang God realm found it difficult to know their own surplus.

Ren Qing was immersed in the fusion of aberrant transformations, and was already skilled at it.

Until there were only the last six types of aberrant transformations left, he no longer fused them himself, but used the information stream to consume life essence and forcibly fuse them.

The aberrant transformations gradually merged into one.

Ren Qing opened his eyes, and the Disaster Elimination Art finally reached the perfect state of the Yin Messenger realm, and the prototype of a divine power was immediately conceived.

[Divine Power: Walking Among Mortals]

………

Ren Qing's eyelids twitched wildly, and just as the tortoise shell had an extra crack, information about Walking Among Mortals poured into his mind.

Within a few breaths of using "Walking Among Mortals", the body and soul will temporarily merge into heaven and earth.

Then, as long as it is within the range covered by the Disguise Art, and the art can affect the living beings, they can be quietly erased through Walking Among Mortals, and then Ren Qing can replace them without a trace.

Of course, the memories and arts of the creatures replaced by Ren Qing will also be temporarily inherited.

Wherever the feet step, is the mortal world.
