The Secret Way of Immortality

Even with Ren Qing's best efforts to suppress it, he couldn't prevent the Soul Fragment from transforming into a Night Demon.

In just a moment, after the Night Demon head of the Soul Fragment moved to the center, the appearance of the former Zere person underwent earth-shattering changes.

A faint black mist enveloped his entire body, resembling a Taoist robe.

The Soul Fragment became increasingly ethereal, with not a trace of its former otherworldly and immortal aura. Accompanied by the two heads, it resembled an indescribable monster.

However, with a mere thought from Ren Qing, the Night Demon head and the Zere Immortal head could be exchanged again, and the Soul Fragment's constitution would revert.

Crack, crack, crack, crack…

Under the erosion of the Night Demon aura, the blood vessel cave wriggled.

Ren Qing's expression turned solemn. Such a commotion clearly alerted the Taoist officials, and the sound of footsteps immediately arose.

He could return to the Qingxu Temple on the surface, but the Night Demon transformation was extremely well concealed.

Ren Qing looked around, his gaze falling on the shadows in the corner.

As he stepped into the darkness, the traces of Night Demon transformation completely enveloped him, ultimately leaving behind a pair of subtle, barely noticeable eyes.

Currently, the Soul Fragment's strength was equivalent to the Yin Official realm, but the Qingxu Palace was far too deep, so he could only temporarily avoid the brunt of it, focusing on investigating the situation.

Before long, a Taoist official with stiff movements slowly approached.

The so-called Taoist officials should be closely related to the Wuwei Taoist Temple, and might even be the Qingxu Temple controlled by the remaining forces.

The blue-green robe he wore was slightly tattered, emitting a faint, rotten smell.

Ren Qing frowned. The Taoist official before him was completely different from the ones he had seen before, feeling like a dying corpse.

How should he put it, like an unfinished product, with a strange sense of familiarity.

What astonished him the most was that the back of the Taoist official's head was connected to a narrow tentacle, constantly transporting transparent liquid to strengthen his vitality.

It seemed to be a means of forcibly prolonging life, but he didn't know what the significance was.

The Taoist official came to the vicinity of the Heavenly Dao worm larva, seemingly attracted by the sound, but his own intelligence was insufficient to notice anything amiss.

When the Taoist official was in his blind spot, Ren Qing immediately gradually emerged from the darkness, the Night Demon aura making the blood vessel cave pitch black.

Only then did the Taoist official belatedly realize something. The moment he turned his head, he saw blood-red eyes appear before him.

“You…”

Ren Qing originally wanted to use the Heavenly Dao Dream Seed to control him, but the Soul Fragment suddenly turned into black mist, his form scattering in the air.

Understanding arose in his heart. It should be a change born from two secondary spells after the Darkest Nightmare Lord became the core spell.

The Taoist official said haltingly, “You… are not a Zere person, what exactly are…”

The black mist pounced towards the Taoist official, drilling into his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Ren Qing surged towards the Niwan Palace.

This was the ability of the Nightmare Dream True Person, to devour the other party's soul with Dream Eating.

If the main body were to use it, it would probably release the Night Demon aura to directly shatter the soul, and then transport it back to its own Niwan Palace to absorb.

Unexpectedly, when the Soul Fragment used it, it actually transformed into a Night Demon and entered the Taoist official's Niwan Palace.

“Get… out, don’t be… in my head…”

The Taoist official seemed to have become enlightened, speaking more and more fluently: “I am Qing Liuzi, a core disciple of the Wuwei Taoist Temple. Dare to attack me, have you tasted the power of the Grand Righteous Immortal Path…”

His mind was already deranged, his mouth full of nonsense, and he couldn't help but shout hysterically, covering his head with both hands.

Ren Qing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Qing Liuzi?

His memory was still quite good. Back in the Doushuai Palace hall of the Wuwei Taoist Temple, there was a tombstone of Qing Liuzi among those graves.

This person was indeed a disciple of the Wuwei Taoist Temple.

But since Qing Liuzi was already dead, how could there still be one in the Qingxu Temple?

Ren Qing forcibly suppressed the distracting thoughts. The top priority was to silence Qing Liuzi as soon as possible, lest he attract the others in the visceral organs dojo.

He skillfully arrived in the Niwan Palace, but it was dilapidated, the surroundings presenting a grayish-black color, covered with scattered corpse spots.

The Niwan Palace of ordinary people is relatively dim, while the Niwan Palace of cultivators is bright. Qing Liuzi's situation was only like this for the dead.

Ren Qing also did not find Qing Liuzi's soul, but discovered a breach, which should be the tentacle connected to the back of his head.

He could follow the tentacle to its source, but as a precaution, he forcibly controlled Qing Liuzi's body and blocked the breach.

Qing Liuzi stood in place, and the sound of footsteps came from far to near again.

A middle-aged Taoist official walked out from the depths.

His appearance was more ordinary, his skin revealing a bloody color, his movements were also extremely smooth, and there was no tentacle behind his head.

Ren Qing could clearly perceive the aura emanating from the Taoist official, having the level of the Yin Official realm.

The middle-aged Taoist official coldly swept over Qing Liuzi and said, “Junior Brother Qing Liuzi.”

Qing Liuzi was like a wooden chicken. Because the tentacle behind his head was blocked, he became devoid of intelligence, like a real corpse.

The middle-aged Taoist official shook his head and said, “Junior Brother, you have not yet fully taken shape, it is best not to wander around.”

As he spoke, he exuded a subtle aura, seemingly intending to check on Qing Liuzi's condition, but then stopped.

Seeing this, Ren Qing imitated Qing Liuzi and said, “Understood…”

He had already prepared to hide the Soul Fragment within the Heavenly Dao Dream Seed.

However, the middle-aged Taoist official did not suspect anything, glanced at him and turned to leave. Obviously, Qing Liuzi's behavior was not considered very abnormal.

Ren Qing looked at the middle-aged Taoist official, knowing that the distance between them was enough to escape at any time, and an additional dream seed-transformed heterochromatic pupil appeared on his forehead.

He spent a few breaths to withdraw the dream seed, and already had a vague understanding in his heart.

The middle-aged Taoist official appeared to be alive on the outside, but was a failure on the inside. There was also no soul residing in the Niwan Palace.

No wonder he felt that he only had strength, and his sensitivity was far inferior to that of a Yin Official realm cultivator.

Ren Qing tried to control the body, and then went deep along the blood vessel cave.

He found that the source was not the original liver, but should be in the kidneys of the Wine Meat Taoist, the direction was obviously completely different.

Ren Qing encountered many zombified Taoist officials on the way.

Their aura was extremely weak, and their movements were entirely based on instinct, occasionally seeing a little clarity in their eyes.

Seeing that the light was getting dimmer, Ren Qing simply abandoned Qing Liuzi's body and transformed into a wisp of black smoke, drifting in the blood vessel cave.

As soon as he left the body, Qing Liuzi's head gradually swelled up, and foul-smelling pus slowly oozed out of his facial features.

Bang!!

The head exploded, and the headless corpse fell to the ground, twitching continuously.

A crack appeared in the chest and abdomen, and the flesh inside seemed to be gestating something, but it only wriggled for a few breaths before stopping.

The newest novels are first released on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

Immediately afterwards, the Taoist official's corpse was suddenly pulled by the tentacles, heading towards the source.

Ren Qing quickly followed behind, turning east and west to arrive near the kidneys, able to hear chaotic sounds coming from inside.

He tried his best to restrain himself, silently entering it.

The scene that appeared before Ren Qing's eyes made his scalp tingle, and he couldn't help but gasp, completely beyond his expectations.

He originally thought it would be some building in the Wuwei Taoist Temple, but how could he have thought that the kidneys had been completely hollowed out.

To be precise, most of the kidneys were torn apart because of the Wine Meat Taoist's lower body, so only one-tenth remained.

The surroundings were like an abyss, connected to the wound in the stomach.

The corpses on the surface of the kidneys piled up like a mountain, and a deep pit was dug out.

The tentacles of the zombified Taoist officials all extended into the deep pit, seemingly absorbing some nutrients.

Tens of thousands of corpses were all Taoist officials.

Ren Qing saw dozens of Qing Liuzi, all dying from the decay of their bodies.

In just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a newly born Qing Liuzi crawled out of the deep pit, continuing to walk out of the blood vessel cave in a daze.

Ren Qing quickly reacted.

The corpse is connected to the tentacles, and then the Heavenly Dao worm supplies nutrients, isn't this a tombstone furnace?

He did not hesitate to sneak to the side of the deep pit, and found that it was not blood inside, but crystal clear wine, a whole lake.

There was indeed a pupa at the bottom of the lake, which was a giant Heavenly Dao worm larva.

The Heavenly Dao worm larva absorbs wine, and then uses tentacles to transport it to Taoist officials.

Ren Qing exclaimed good fellow, even if it is a Heavenly Aberrant realm, as long as consciousness does not exist, the final outcome can be imagined.

The Wine Meat Taoist wanted to use wine to maintain his vitality, but he was intercepted by the Taoist officials, like barnacles parasitizing on a whale.

If the way of gestating Taoist officials is similar to the tombstone furnace, then the so-called taking shape…

Ren Qing quickly checked the corpses one by one, and found that very few had traces of gestating life, indicating that the tombstone furnace would only give birth to real Taoist officials after absorbing a large amount of wine.

In simple terms, Taoist officials will emerge from the zombified Taoist officials who serve as the tombstone furnace.

So the Taoist officials are actually similar to the existence of flesh and blood magic weapons, no wonder the soul does not exist, and the body is extremely strange.

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes.

With the Taoist officials' dull intelligence, it is impossible to refine a large-scale tombstone furnace. There must be a living person left in the Qingxu Temple.

This person must be a disciple of the Wuwei Taoist Temple, belonging to the only survivors.

He should have been working in the Fire Refining Palace, so he could master the refining method of the tombstone furnace.

Just as Ren Qing was thinking, the surrounding zombified Taoist officials retreated one after another, inexplicably choosing to stand in the corner and wait.

The middle-aged Taoist official came to the side of the wine pool.

He reached out and pointed to the top of his head, and suddenly wine seeped out, quickly forming a heavy rain and falling into the wine pool.

After the wine pool was full, the middle-aged Taoist official murmured, “The Zere people are not enough, it’s almost time to notify the lower realm to ascend…”

The middle-aged Taoist official then disappeared.

Ren Qing knew that he had guessed correctly, the survivor of the Wuwei Taoist Temple was very paranoid about rebuilding the sect.

He simply used the tombstone furnace to refine the dead fellow disciples.

The problem is that there are more than two thousand disciples of the Wuwei Taoist Temple, and a large amount of wine is needed to maintain them. The source of the wine can only be brewed by the Zere people.

After Ren Qing figured out the situation of the Qingxu Temple, he knew that there was no time to delay.

He immediately used the mortise feather to notify Li Tiangang, and let the other party secretly carry out the plan to control the entire Yellow Sand City in the hands of the Forbidden Guard Hall.

The Heavenly Daozi has about one year left in his lifespan. It is estimated that there are only about a hundred Taoist officials in the Qingxu Palace who have taken shape, far less than two thousand.

The Qingxu Temple will inevitably become more and more extreme, even to the point of draining the pond to catch the fish.

Ren Qing's Soul Fragment jumped into the wine pool and swam towards the bottom of the water.

The pupa appeared not far away, having lost consciousness after being refined into a part of the tombstone furnace, like a walking corpse.

Ren Qing separated a little Night Demon aura and left it in the wine pool.

If something unexpected happens, having a backup might be useful.

He was going to take a look at Li Yaoyang, and then go to meet the Dark Crow.

There is still a chapter, wait a moment
