The Secret Way of Immortality

The goatmen were slaughtering each other, using their own kind as sacrifices to the Black Goat's idol, their flesh and bones adorning the tribe.

But it seemed that because the Black Goat had consumed the Mana Flower, their intelligence diminished as their bodies grew stronger, becoming increasingly foolish.

If the Black Goat hadn't gone awry, what would the goatman tribe have become?

Perhaps they would have gradually mastered the beast taming techniques…

Ren Qing grabbed a sacrificed goatman and put it into the prison within his stomach, then left the mountains.

He discovered the goatman kneeling in the prison, clutching at its own throat.

A moment later, the goatman began to devolve into a wild beast, but its body collapsed and exploded, ultimately turning into ashes within the flesh and blood furnace.

This showed that the source of the goatmen was the demonic aura in the air.

No matter how many Ren Qing killed, the number of goatmen would multiply, continuously heading towards the city where the aura was more concentrated.

He gave up on the idea of taking action, and besides, the dream seed was already saturated.

After Ren Qing returned to the city wall, the jailers had completely abandoned their contempt and proactively began to arrange spells around the wall.

Even Ren Qing's section of the city wall was covered with spells similar to thorns.

The jailers' gazes held a hint of complexity, after all, in their opinion, Ren Qing's methods of saving people earlier must have involved some risk.

Even the magic artifact protecting souls was destroyed as a result.

Yan Feng couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Although it was mainly because his intelligence was affected by the demonic aura, he was, after all, the one who caused the trouble.

He simply came to apologize to Ren Qing.

"Brother Ren, I'm truly sorry, I'm here to apologize to you."

He said respectfully with a bow, having escaped the demonic aura in time, the mutations on his body gradually dissipating over time.

Ren Qing waved his hand, in fact, he hadn't even taken Yan Feng to heart, it was more like he was collecting some demonic aura at the time.

Yan Feng wanted to say something more.

Moo…

But they heard a heavy call.

They subconsciously looked towards the Grand Duke Grove, the Black Goat was level with the surrounding fungi, a full seven or eight meters tall.

With each breath, a large amount of demonic aura leaked out.

However, because it had consumed too many Mana Flowers, the Black Goat had clearly lost its mind, exhibiting increasingly insane behavior.

Moreover, multiple pairs of useless arms grew out of both sides of its back, indicating that it could no longer fully absorb the residual souls.

Song Zongwu and the other's skin were covered with paper, coupled with their Yin Messenger Realm cultivation, they were able to remain safe and sound in the demonic aura.

Seeing this, Ren Qing said, "You should go and rest, the goatmen will be coming again soon, and in great force."

Yan Feng nodded.

He was of course aware, because the light of the bonfires in the mountains became more and more obvious, even forming a large circle surrounding the city wall.

Lin Cheng said with a scarlet tongue, "The number of goatmen is now… about seven thousand, it has almost increased tenfold in just half a day."

Ren Qing sat down cross-legged with a calm expression, proactively communicating with the Demonic Dream Seed to digest the aura, he could feel that this rice-grain-sized magic artifact was constantly contracting and releasing light.

Yan Feng hurriedly turned and left, and soon the news spread.

Before long, the goatmen launched another attack, densely packed like an army pressing down on the fortress.

However, the appearance of the goatmen had also changed, the black fur covering their bodies had become sparse, their eyes were cloudy and dull.

Their expressions were increasingly fanatical, but far less intelligent than before.

The goatmen used their fingers to grip the stone cracks, even if their bodies were incomplete, they still climbed upwards, the jailers' beast transformation spells came in handy.

It could be seen that the jailers chosen by Li Tiangang were very suitable for defending the city.

Only Ren Qing's displayed strength was somewhat beyond imagination.

The jailers guessed that he had completed the third transformation, after all, just a simple swing of the chain could cause a large number of casualties.

Because of Ren Qing's existence, they were no longer timid.

In this situation, even though the goatmen's physique had obviously been strengthened, they were still no match for the fully equipped jailers.

Ren Qing continued to collect demonic aura and flesh and blood.

The Kindling and Demonic Dream Seeds seemed to be about to give birth to something, the progress was far faster than the Heavenly Dream Seed.

When the siege that lasted for seven or eight hours ended, leaving behind thick corpses, dozens of carrion birds fell from the air to feed.

If the jailers were not ordinary people, they might have contracted the plague as a result.

The jailers lay flat on the city wall, not even bothering to go inside to rest, the goatmen would come again before long.

Over the next three days.

The goatmen constantly bombarded the city wall, the number had reached thirty to forty thousand, but as long as some were killed, the rest would scramble to escape.

Their appearance also showed many deformities with the Black Goat.

The jailers stood ready, but what they awaited was the sound of slaughter coming from the goatman tribe.

Seemingly affected by the Black Goat, they began to kill each other, the stench of blood could be easily smelled even from a great distance.

After more than three hours, the mountains returned to calm.

Lin Cheng's face was uncertain, in his opinion, the goatmen's aura suddenly disappeared, as if they had all died.

The jailers came to ask Lin Cheng about the situation, and became even more fearful after learning about it.

Jiang Feng came to the city wall.

He sensed the abnormality through the eyeballs laid out in the forest, and couldn't help but shout, "Everyone be prepared, it's coming!!!"

Only a sea of blood came surging.

The fine blood and flesh flowed on the ground, making a sizzling sound when it came into contact with the pre-arranged spells.

The jailers were no longer stingy with their spells, wanting to stop the spread of the blood, but it was a drop in the bucket.

At this time, the blood had covered the corpses, and the broken limbs and fragments actually pieced themselves together automatically, forming peeled goatmen.

Even if the peeled goatmen were turned into minced meat, they could still reassemble in the blood.

The jailers had a sense of powerlessness like punching cotton.

The Black Goat in the city had also become extremely deformed.

As it devoured more and more of its own kind, it began to grow hundreds of pairs of useless hands and feet, and its head also proliferated into five.

Song Zongwu inevitably suffered some injuries, but he still fearlessly stepped forward to fight, with Li Tiangang assisting from the side.

The blood quickly flowed to the city wall, the jailers were simply powerless to stop it.

Many jailers were hoping for Ren Qing, but turning their heads to look, they saw that the latter also seemed to be unable to do anything about the blood.

No matter how the chains flew up and down, it still spread where it should.

Jiang Feng hurriedly reminded, "There are only two more strange infants left, it can last for a maximum of one day."

Ren Qing pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, always feeling that this task was a scam, it was completely impossible to work without putting in effort.

It even had to pay a price.

Judging from the current situation, the jailers would definitely suffer casualties.

He suspected that because the Jailer Hall's appetite was too big, it prepared more Mana Flowers than the first time summoning souls, causing the Black Goat to lose control.

Ren Qing closed his eyes.

Under the moonlight, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The jailers didn't even notice Ren Qing's abnormality, only Lin Cheng noticed, but he seemed a little at a loss.

At this moment, thick clouds enveloped the open space where the city wall was located.

A little drizzle fell.

Before the jailers could react, the moment the raindrops came into contact with the blood, flames burned for no reason, and the air was distorted by the high temperature.

The Immortal in the Mirror was originally an illusion that was both real and fake, after being promoted to the Ghost Envoy Realm, although it was still far from reality, the power it displayed was no less than before.

Countless souls screamed miserably in the blood, and the momentum stopped all of a sudden.

The jailers were stunned for a few breaths, and then launched a counterattack, without the blood, the peeled goatmen could no longer be resurrected indefinitely.

It was not until the peeled goatmen were slaughtered that the blood showed a tendency to recede.

But at this moment, loud goat calls came from inside the city wall, and they rose and fell, not stopping for a long time.

Moo… Moo…

The Black Goat had reached the final stage.

Song Zongwu was covered in injuries, but the paper was attached to the surface of his skin, forcibly helping him stop the bleeding.

"Li Tiangang, after it devours the last strange infant, you will not be able to seal it."

"It won't."

Li Tiangang said calmly, but with a slight distortion on his face.

He did not hesitate to tear up the last page of paper, the Black Goat broke free, and the two monsters immediately tore at each other.

The demonic aura in the air became even more concentrated.

The trees formed by fungi collapsed one after another, but the vitality of the Grand Duke Grove was extremely strong, and it regrew and recovered in a moment.

Song Zongwu rested in the meantime, stuffing all kinds of food into his mouth.

The surface of the Black Goat had turned into a deformed ball of flesh, covered with various goatman hands and feet, and it was also calling out in its mouth.

Suddenly, the ground shook and the mountains swayed.

The blood mixed with grass, trees, and rocks actually formed a giant peeled goatman, and strode towards the city.

The Black Goat had already determined the winner, it devoured the corpse in one go, while uncontrollably spitting out blood from its mouth.

The Mana Flower was playing the role of nurturing pseudo-souls, but it was extremely harmful to the Black Goat, which was already a remnant soul, like digging flesh from its heart.

That's why it instinctively summoned the flesh and blood contaminated with demonic aura, wanting to use it to restore the damage to its soul.

Li Tiangang said with a hint of regret, "I'm a little worried now that the jailers won't be able to hold on until the end of the seal."

"How is that possible, I let Ren Qing come to prevent any accidents."

"To be honest, Li Tiangang, you were a bit too extreme this time."

"I…"

Song Zongwu shook his head.

Then he couldn't help but roar, "Ren Qing, don't hold back at all, do you want me to die?!"

Li Tiangang looked surprised.

The crescent moon in the sky disappeared.

The blood moon slowly rose from the horizon, and the sound of wolves howling came.

A huge ghost wolf stood on the city wall, the blood moon seemed to be its background, and the aura it exuded formed a substance.

The ghost wolf's abdomen faintly lit up with fire, and then smoke and dust emerged from its teeth, the high temperature of the Kindling had covered its entire body.

"This is…"

Song Zongwu grinned and smiled, "You've seen it too."

"Gourmand Art's auxiliary stomach, and the ability of the transformation branch happens to be somewhat similar to the Ksitigarbha, so it can control strange objects."

Song Zongwu's tone was a bit proud, after all, Ren Qing was someone he watched grow up little by little, who would have thought that he was originally a fireman lying in prison pretending to be dead.

Li Tiangang was speechless, that's not how you answered when I asked you at the time.

But with Ren Qing's talent, it shouldn't be long before the Jailer Hall can add another Yin Messenger Realm, it's just that the other party appeared too late.

Judging from the current situation in Xiangxiang, we must seize all the time.

There should be one more chapter, going to write.
