The Secret Way of Immortality

The Mother of All Things' head must be able to withstand the ravages of millions of years of karmic fire, and should be a shortcut to advancing to Corpse Disassembly Immortal.

However, Ren Qing had some concerns, fearing that he might stir up even bigger trouble.

It's unknown whether the Mother of All Things' head will mutate under the effect of karmic fire, thereby stimulating the Three Dao Ancestors.

“Better a dead friend than a dead me.”

Ren Qing gritted his teeth. Could anything be worse than the terror of the Three Dao Ancestors descending?

Since the crisis is inevitable, the variable might not be bad news. At least it can ensure that this world is not a stagnant pool.

Ren Qing released a large number of fungal souls to Peach Blossom Spring to figure out the situation first.

He tried to slow down his state of mind. Although a thousand years is short, it can still allow him to make a lot of preparations and increase his chances of success.

Ren Qing meditated for more than half a month, and pondered the minor details of the plan.

After the anxious emotions calmed down, he put his consciousness into the Immortal Position Forbidden Area to check on the progress of the cultivators.

Ren Qing noticed that since Multiple Daoist left the Immortal Position Forbidden Area, the remaining Heavenly Gu Realm cultivators had successively achieved True Immortality.

However, even after becoming immortals and attaining the Dao, they were not in a hurry to leave the forbidden area. Instead, they continued to cultivate in seclusion, waiting for the forbidden area to disintegrate on its own.

Ren Qing knew that Multiple Daoist's departure to the outside world was probably their intention, driving the most maverick person out of the forbidden area.

It was obvious that they had barely reached some kind of exchange of benefits.

After all, as long as they weren't stupid, they could guess that something drastic had happened outside after the Beast Pen War, and even Earth Immortals couldn't protect themselves.

If they didn't band together to keep warm, they would probably end up dying.

The reason why Multiple Daoist left the Immortal Position Forbidden Area first was also their means of eliminating dissidents, to ensure that the inside was monolithic.

Song Zongwu and other Jail Guard Hall cultivators also acquiesced to their actions. As long as the number of Jail Guard Hall Earth Immortals had the advantage, it would be a beneficial thing that could help control the rogue cultivators.

As time passed, the Immortal Position Forbidden Area became more and more unstable.

In particular, the spiritual mountain's Buddhist energy at the edge of the forbidden area gradually weakened. Even if it could be continuously replenished, it seemed to be of no avail.

Under such circumstances, the effect of the forbidden area shielding the outside world became weaker and weaker, allowing the immortal cultivators to vaguely see the scenery of the outside world.

The outside world seemed to be a dead silence, and the original place was a pit without any grass growing.

The remains of the giant trees had not yet completely decomposed naturally, and fragments of flesh, blood, and bones were piled together, with countless scavenging insects flying around.

The cultivators seized the time to retreat and cultivate, and suddenly a wave arose in the forbidden area.

Boom!!!

Grand Dream True Man opened his eyes and looked at the center of the forbidden area.

There, the Buddha's hand was located, its surface was covered with the faces of various Buddhas, frantically releasing the spiritual mountain's Buddhist energy to maintain the Immortal Position Forbidden Area, but the Buddha's hand could collapse at any time.

Crack, crack, crack…

The Buddha's hand made a sound of bone collision, and Ren Qing's clone drilled out from inside.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the edge of the forbidden area. Ren Qing's actions at least shortened the duration of the forbidden area by a hundred years.

All the cultivators looked at each other. Grand Dream True Man was about to open his mouth to ask, but he saw Ren Qing said with a solemn expression: "The Investiture of the Gods has changed. Those who become immortals can go to the outside world to discuss matters."

Because it was just a clone, Ren Qing's aura was not obvious, and he did not have the previous deterrent power.

Among the cultivators, only a few people from the Jail Guard Hall responded. Among them, Han Li was still advancing to Earth Immortal, so he did not pay attention to Ren Qing.

“Immortal Venerable, it's been hundreds of years.”

Upper Star Lord revealed his immortal body, turning into a light and shadow composed of red stars.

Many cultivators, after becoming immortals, used the name of the immortal position as their Daoist title, and had long abandoned the Daoist traditions they had practiced before.

“Immortal Venerable Zhen Yuanzi, you and I have already become immortals and attained the Dao, and our bodies and souls are almost immortal and indestructible. What can't wait until we leave the retreat?”

Upper Star Lord's tone seemed gentle, but in fact there was no respect at all.

Song Zongwu secretly thought it was bad. The immortal position would indeed change one's temperament invisibly, and the level of life had already transformed from a mortal to an immortal.

He wanted to say something but stopped, but still silently closed his mouth.

Song Zongwu originally thought of knocking on them again after going to the outside world, so as not to damage the Immortal Position Forbidden Area, but now it seems that he has to end the retreat early.

Upper Star Lord did not even notice that the surrounding aura had become a little strange.

When he noticed the abnormality, the Jail Guard Hall cultivators were staring at him with complicated eyes, and then he belatedly reacted.

Upper Star Lord knew that he had offended Ren Qing, but he was a little embarrassed to apologize.

At this time, Ren Qing made a move.

The gravity in the forbidden area became distorted, and even Earth Immortals were turned upside down because of this, and then the boundary turned into a translucent shape.

In an instant, a figure appeared outside the Immortal Position Forbidden Area.

It was Ren Qing transformed into a towering giant, holding the forbidden area in his hand like a candy pill, and his eyes alone were larger than the forbidden area.

Except for the Jail Guard Hall cultivators, everyone else felt that their bodies and souls were bound.

Upper Star Lord covered his neck with both hands, and an inexplicable sense of suffocation filled his brain. He actually lost his sense of the immortal position at this time.

The transformed Upper Star Immortal Body disappeared, and blood flowed from the five senses of Upper Star Lord, and colorful mushrooms grew from the flesh and bones.

The mushrooms directly blocked all the joints and blood vessels.

The internal organs were still undergoing inexplicable changes, and various diseases that were invisible to the naked eye had filled every inch of flesh and bones.

Grand Dream True Man stared at Ren Qing complicatedly, and the surprise in his heart was beyond words.

He originally thought that after becoming an immortal, the gap between him and Ren Qing could be narrowed, but he didn't expect that the gap would become even bigger.

Grand Dream True Man completely couldn't see through Ren Qing's reality.

Could it be that there are also differences between True Immortals?

Song Zongwu showed admiration on his face. Ren Qing was someone he watched grow up.

It's hard to imagine that when he first met Ren Qing, he was a handyman without the strength to truss a chicken, and was almost killed by a half-corpse realm strange object.

The forbidden area was silent and speechless. After a moment of stalemate, all the visions disappeared.

Upper Star Lord gasped for breath, and his mind quickly checked the internal organs of his body, and found that the condition of mushroom parasitism had disappeared.

As an Earth Immortal, he actually didn't need air to maintain his body.

But just a few breaths ago, Upper Star Lord found that his internal organs were forcibly degenerated into a mortal body, and an Earth Immortal was almost suffocated into serious injuries due to lack of oxygen.

In his mind, the memories of Ren Qing sitting in the forbidden area became clear.

“Immortal Venerable Zhen Yuanzi, I have offended you, I have offended you.”

“No matter what trouble the Immortal Venerable has, I will do my best.”

How dare he put on airs in front of Ren Qing, he honestly lowered his posture, and didn't even have the courage to raise his eyes to look at Ren Qing.

Ren Qing's knocking the mountain to shake the tiger cleanly solved the internal strife.

As long as one's own strength is overwhelming, all ghosts and monsters are nothing but nothingness, which can just focus on the advent of the Heavenly Dao a thousand years later.

Ren Qing swept over the cultivators and said word by word: "Enough of the idle talk. Originally, the Investiture of the Gods was just to find inheritance for the immortal position, but now the situation outside is very dangerous, and we can't make any choices anymore."

“Now there is only one way, follow our Heavenly Court and try to break the situation.”

Li Yaoyang couldn't help but his heart beat wildly, because Ren Qing's words had a strong sense of crisis.

In his eyes, even when Ren Qing was in the Yang God Realm facing Earth Immortals, he wouldn't have such emotional fluctuations. Why is he so dignified?

“The Heavenly Dao is coming, and a great disaster is coming.”

After Ren Qing finished speaking, his consciousness pointed at their eyebrows, and the information about the Three Dao Ancestors and the Supreme Heavenly Demon poured into their memories.

Grand Dream True Man's mind was turbulent. After reaching the Earth Immortal, he had a vague sense of the Heavenly Dao, and knew that what Ren Qing said was true.

That indescribable Heavenly Dao will set foot in this world a thousand years later.

A total of ten cultivators, except for Han Li who was still in retreat, all showed a deepening of the Heavenly Dao after learning the news of the Three Dao Ancestors' arrival, and the external alienation intensified.

Ren Qing used the Flesh Body Tathagata to ensure that their Heavenly Dao wouldn't worsen, and at the same time told the cultivators about the thousand-year plan.

In addition to using the head of the Mother of All Things to transfer karmic fire, the plan also included "Ascending to the Great Demon Heaven" and "Establishing a Shelter", without any reservations for them.

Ren Qing planned to hand over the shelter to the cultivators and use Earth Immortal means to build it.

“When Han Li leaves the retreat, go to the outside world immediately.”

“Senior Song, you take a few people to the overseas to rescue Multiple Daoist.”

After a simple instruction, Ren Qing's consciousness returned to the main body. He put his energy into the exploration of Peach Blossom Spring, and screened the population of the six mortal gathering places.

The vast majority of mortals in the gathering places, due to the alienation of their bodies and souls, were no longer able to adapt to the normal environment, and their minds became extreme, and they could easily lose control completely.

But there are still many mortals who still have reason.

The shelter established by Ren Qing can't be completed by just ten True Immortals, and tens of millions of people in the Stomach Pouch World have to be mobilized.

No one can escape this disaster, so naturally the entire Jail Guard Hall's luck must be gambled.

The resources accumulated by the Jail Guard Hall will be used for the construction of the shelter, striving to survive the gaze of the Three Dao Ancestors.

If the shelter is useful, it can support for a longer period of time, and as long as Ren Qing advances to the Heavenly Dao, it will be worth the money.

Ren Qing felt a little heartache.

However, the Stomach Pouch World is, after all, a complete great world, and resources can be regenerated continuously through mineral veins, animals and plants, etc.

He exchanged resources for precious time, which in a sense is not a loss.

In the gap between the birth of the Earth Immortals, the Stomach Pouch World has begun to prepare, the Refiners are responsible for planning the shelter's plan, and the cultivators are refining the most basic strange fetus brick.

The Stomach Pouch World can already mass-produce Yang God Realm strange objects.

Ren Qing's requirements for the strange fetus brick are very simple, that is, to advance to the Yang God Realm, and be able to form a whole with each other.

Because the consumption of strange objects is really terrifying, there are special cultivators responsible for cutting the Yang God Realm strange objects into pieces, and then sending them to the Strange Dao Palace in the Heavenly Palace.

In the small world, the strange object fragments can soon be re-transformed into completeness, but unfortunately they will fall from the Yang God Realm to the Yin Messenger Realm.

Fortunately, as long as you are willing to consume resources, it is not difficult for the Yin Messenger Realm strange objects to advance to the Yang God Realm, and there are also immortal positions that can bless the strange objects.

Even the mortal world of the Stomach Pouch World has become turbulent.

Scattered villages converge towards towns, and Ren Qing tries his best to gather the population together. As a result, he finds that the Stomach Pouch World unknowingly has more than 30 million people.

Mortals have only one task, and that is to plant and raise animals and plants.

Ren Qing has a hunch that the arrival of the Three Dao Ancestors is likely to affect the Stomach Pouch World, and what awaits them is an eternal "long night".

So the Stomach Pouch World must hoard enough food, and even water must be stored.

At Ren Qing's order, the Stomach Pouch World suddenly fluctuated, and one cultivator after another went to the mortal world by taking on tasks.

The cultivators in the Jail Guard Hall, even after experiencing several disturbances, have never seen such a large-scale task, involving the creatures of the Three Realms.

The task is no longer freely accepted, but is given to each cultivator in the form of allocation, but the reward is extremely generous.

Ren Qing doesn't have time to consider whether the Jail Guard Hall will have disturbances.

The nearly ten times time difference between the Stomach Pouch World and the outside world is very important, so it must be used well to improve the shelter as much as possible.

The people stood on the streets at a loss, they had never seen such a situation.

Immortals descended to the mortal world in batches, and at the same time brought magical tools to help open up fertile land, as well as tens of thousands of livestock.

The government cooperated with the immortals, and every household had to send out young and strong labor.

Of course, the Jail Guard Hall would not let mortals die and be injured because of corvée, after all, the divided fields and pastures are around the towns.

Even in the mountainous Wuwei City, there are Yang God Realm cultivators moving mountains and filling lakes.

The Heavenly Dao of the Stomach Pouch World promotes the growth of crops, and every few days a large amount of food is sent to the Heavenly Palace's granary for preservation.

The same is true for livestock, which are divided into uniform pieces of meat by butchers.

Then placed in a zero-degree environment, so that the meat can be preserved for a long time.

Ren Qing was afraid that the beasts would mutate after the arrival of the Three Dao Ancestors, and also asked the cultivators to hunt the medium and large beasts near the town.

Even if it destroys a certain ecology because of this, it must prevent accidents from happening.

The Stomach Pouch World still has plenty of time. The food reserves for ten thousand years can support tens of millions of mortals for hundreds of thousands of years.

Ren Qing then focused on the outside world, and batches of cultivators projected to the Beast Pen.

The Heavenly Demon Cave for raising black goats has taken shape, and the next step is to build a shelter to resist the Heavenly Dao near the Heavenly Demon Cave.

Ren Qing did not choose to let the shelter go deep underground this time.

With the terror of the Heavenly Dao, it doesn't really matter where the shelter is. Burying it like an ostrich is definitely useless, and mobility is the key.

The shelter first needs an energy furnace as the core, used as the "artifact spirit" to command the thousands of magical tools in the shelter.

The furnace must at least be equivalent to Earth Immortal, and even the Earth Immortal level is not reliable.

After hesitating again and again, Ren Qing decided to let the Flesh Body Tathagata sit in the shelter. After all, the spiritual mountain's Buddhist energy is almost endless.

Even if something happens to the Flesh Body Tathagata, he can take back the Stomach Pouch World at any time.

“Amitabha…”

When the Flesh Body Tathagata descended to the outside world, a strangely toned murmur resounded throughout the world, and birds and beasts knelt down when they heard it.

However, the appearance of the spiritual mountain is really bizarre, and it looks like it has nothing to do with Buddhism.

Accompanying the Flesh Body Tathagata were tens of thousands of monks from the Western Buddhist World. As long as they are located within the scope of the spiritual mountain, their strength can reach the level of the Yin Messenger Realm.

The monks became the foundation builders of the shelter, clearing the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles.

The movement caused by the Flesh Body Tathagata was extremely large, and Ren Qing didn't mean to hide it. The believers of the Heavenly Dao must have noticed the abnormality of the Beast Pen.

While the monks were felling trees, they indeed noticed figures monitoring them from afar.

Ren Qing completely ignored the Heavenly Dao believers. These cockroaches weren't worth wasting time on; keeping them around might prove useful.

The Corpse Asura deliberately formed a thin film on its surface, transforming into a giant egg.

A temporary camp was established next to the giant egg, and Yang God realm cultivators continuously arrived from the outside, carrying newly refined Guitai artifacts, "Blood Umbilici".

The Blood Umbilici resembled slender infant umbilical cords, exuding a fishy stench.

Both ends were shaped like suction cups, easily attaching to the surface of the Corpse Asura, serving as channels for transporting Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi.

The Blood Umbilici were only a temporary measure, as each breath could not carry too much Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi.

To ensure the smooth deployment of the shelter, Zhou Zuo'san, the chief of the Jailer Hall's artificers, subsequently arrived at the temporary camp to oversee the subsequent construction.

The Corpse Asura was equivalent to a spiritual root releasing true essence, and it also needed a container to store the true essence.

Ren Qing wanted to ensure that the shelter possessed Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi to the extent of a Corpse Disintegration Immortal, to supply the operation of thousands of magical artifacts.

Zhou Zuo'san simply refined several common storage Guitai artifacts.

After connecting them with the Blood Umbilici and guiding the Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi into the Guitai artifacts, a muffled sound came from the temporary camp, and the magical artifact exploded.

Zhou Zuo'san was covered in dust, but fortunately, he had activated his protective Dharma garment in advance.

However, the zombie cultivator passing by didn't have that reaction time and had both legs blown off, forced to wait for the wounds to slowly recover.

It seemed that traditional Guitai artifacts couldn't accommodate Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi.

Zhou Zuo'san directly abandoned the other Guitai artifacts and then took out materials to refine a storage artifact in the form of a flesh palace chamber.

Not to mention, although flesh artifacts were bizarre, they were still very compatible with Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi, but the total amount of storage was truly not that much.

After Zhou Zuo'san determined the general plan, he informed the artificers under his command.

Before long, the corresponding materials were sent to the temporary camp, and the intense artifact refinement officially began, illuminating the night sky for several miles.

Improved Blood Umbilici were also being refined, and the unique bloody smell permeated the air.

Ren Qing was immersed in the slow infiltration of Peach Blossom Spring. When he came back to his senses, several years had passed, and True Immortals emerged from the Immortal Position Forbidden Zone one after another.

After the True Immortals arrived in the outside world, they were shocked by the temporary camp.

A small void fortress hovered above the Corpse Asura, and magical artifacts delivering goods fell from time to time, appearing extremely busy.

The Blood Umbilici had now undergone thirteen iterations, but there were still more than 30,000 artificers responsible for the improvements, located in the stomach world.

The artificer group improving the Buddhist Qi container was even larger, totaling 160,000, and blueprints were sent to Dream City every moment.

Ren Qing simply dispatched a large number of Mycelial Souls to verify the blueprints, selecting some to hand over to Zhou Zuo'san.

The thirteenth generation of Blood Umbilici completely covered the Corpse Asura, preventing even a trace of Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi from leaking, and the connecting umbilical cords could be generated at any time.

Thirty-eight towering stone statues stood around the Corpse Asura.

The stone statues were called "Buddha Attendants" and could store Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi to the extent of a Heavenly Guile realm, but it was still not the ultimate that Zhou Zuo'san was pursuing.

The Buddha Attendants absorbed Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi, and they were also wrapped in Blood Umbilici.

Shangsheng Star Lord stared blankly at the countless artificers coming and going. It was clear that the Heavenly Court had found a way to utilize Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi.

He saw that some artificers connected the umbilical cords to beast-headed Guitai artifacts. After a simple accumulation, the beast's mouth released a beam of light that could destroy mountains.

Shangsheng Star Lord gasped. Even Earth Immortals could be threatened if there were enough beast-headed magical artifacts.

But judging from the artificer's appearance, they were still not very satisfied.

Shangsheng Star Lord's attitude became more and more humble, and he always had a smile on his face no matter who he saw.

Song Zongwu led Li Yaoyang and Mu Yi to the sea area of the Multiple Daoist. The remaining True Immortals did not dare to act rashly until they received Ren Qing's instructions.

Grand Dream True Man looked around and saw the Jailer Hall's posture. It was clear that the descent of the Heavenly Dao was not a false claim, and a thousand years was really not a long time.

"Ren Qing, is there anything we can do?"

Shangsheng Star Lord said with a smile, "Venerable Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, just tell me what you need."

Ren Qing didn't even look at Shangsheng Star Lord and said to Grand Dream True Man, "Grand Dream, I can only trouble you to make a trip. There are a total of six mortal gathering places. From them, we should be able to select millions of manpower."

"Okay."

After Grand Dream True Man received the information about the gathering places, he turned and walked south.

He deliberately slowed down, and Shangsheng Star Lord and the other cultivators quickly followed, but Han Li was left behind by Ren Qing to maintain the temporary camp.

Ren Qing waved his hand, and a thousand-meter gate stood several miles away.

Millions of zombie cultivators from the Underworld were swarming out. Next, they needed to build the ground for the shelter, and the material was Guitai artifact bricks.

Before the bricks were placed in the designated location, they had to be assimilated with Spirit Mountain Buddhist Qi, and the amount of work increased a hundredfold at once.

Ren Qing was not afraid of wasting resources, and the Buddha Attendants were constantly being refined.

If an artificer perfected a new Buddha Attendant, they would recycle all the magical artifacts and rebuild them, first maintaining efficiency at the limit of the current manpower.

Even Han Li couldn't help but be frightened by such a wealthy and generous move.

Han Li realized that the danger of the Heavenly Dao's descent was unimaginable, so he began to study the artifact refinement that he had always ignored.

The Jailer Hall also encouraged cultivators to refine artifacts, after all, if the shelter was damaged, it might require a massive number of cultivators to participate in the repair work.

After a few days, the mortals from the gathering place were constantly sent to the temporary camp.

However, the number of mortals was lower than Ren Qing's expectations, mainly because after the mortals discovered their own alienation, many couldn't bear it psychologically and would rather choose to live in fantasy.

Ren Qing let the mortals stay in the stomach world temporarily, and the Heavenly Dao suppressed their alienation, so that it would not affect their labor in farming and breeding.

After the Heavenly Dao believers lost hundreds of thousands of mortals in the gathering place, they completely went insane.

But they were completely powerless to rage. As long as they left the scope of Peach Blossom Spring, the vitality of the Heavenly Dao believers would gradually drain away.

Ren Qing separated out Mycelial Souls to monitor every move of the Heavenly Dao believers, while studying where their adaptability to purple light came from.

Transferring Karma Fire to the head of the Mother of All Things was like walking on a tightrope. He had to be careful and cautious, and it wouldn't hurt to spend more time.

Apart from restoring the Heavenly Dao transformation, the Heavenly Devil Cave and the shelter were both going smoothly.

The Black Goat Skin in the Heavenly Devil Cave was about to be pushed to the Earth Immortal realm, proving that it could indeed replace the position of the Nameless.

It's just that the Black Goat will continue to produce Heavenly Devil aura, and relying on the Black Goat Skin alone can't absorb it all, and it will overflow sooner or later.

After hesitating again and again, Ren Qing made the Black Goat Skin the second core of the shelter, and stepped up the refinement of the container "Devil Attendant".

To prevent the Black Goat Skin from losing control when the Supreme Heavenly Devil descends, the Heavenly Devil aura is only a backup method, a "nuclear bomb" that can be thrown at any time.
