The Secret Way of Immortality

No sooner had Ren Qing returned to the bottom of the well to seclude himself than he sensed Wuwéi City becoming extremely noisy.

Li Tiangang was directing cultivators to set up defenses around the city walls, and the forbidden zone outside Wuwéi City was not completely enclosed, still leaving gaps.

This would make defending against attacking demonic beasts somewhat easier.

Before long, the sounds of fighting rang out, as demonic beasts tirelessly harassed Wuwéi City, showing no intention of fleeing even in death.

Ren Qing's mind was filled with a sense of urgency, and he used the Ice Crystal Art to put himself in a state of absolute calm, lest he be affected by negative emotions.

The Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Insect was fully focused on digesting the You Essence, with the rest of his energy devoted to the altar.

A large number of patterns tangled in his mind, including the content of the Artifact Spirit Art, so complex that an ordinary person would feel dizzy at a glance.

Ren Qing was immersed in exploring the patterns, completely unaware of the changes in the outside world, only knowing that the frequency of demonic beast attacks was intensifying.

At Song Zongwu's suggestion, no one dared to disturb him in the courtyard.

With the Artifact Spirit Art as a foundation, the lines gradually became orderly in Ren Qing's eyes, and he even found some interest in unraveling them.

It took him a full half a year to figure out the steps for arranging the altar.

But in the world of patterns, Ren Qing had only just grasped the basics.

He had thought that the Blood Moon's cultivation system was based on demonic energy, but he didn't expect it to be constructed from patterns.

These patterns were named "Moon Runes" by Ren Qing.

The Blood Moon used Moon Runes as the cornerstone for launching wars, and it was likely that even the layering of Jing Province was produced by Moon Runes, which was extremely mysterious.

Ren Qing believed that the Blood Moon must be covered with Moon Runes, effectively a giant magical artifact.

He tried to arrange an altar in the Yongjian Shackles and, finding it relatively smooth, immediately set about transforming the three Unusual Aberrant Heavenly Demons.

Ren Qing knew that the demonic beast siege was already very severe, as could be seen from the speed at which You Essence accumulated at the White Bone Glazed Top, indicating that the cultivators were not resting at all.

The Forbidden Corps Hall had already refined the four walls of Wuwéi City into Aberrant Embryo Artifacts, and were preparing to integrate them with aberrant objects, with Li Tiangang choosing the Gluttony Art's Devourer.

Only the ground inside the city was being refined relatively slowly due to the Insect Molt.

More than half a month later, a faint dragon's roar sounded…

Roar.

The tone of this dragon's roar was slightly strange, as if something was stuck in its throat, giving the people a creepy feeling.

However, Wuwéi City was extremely busy, and no one could spare the time to pay attention to the source of the dragon's roar.

Ren Qing emerged from the dry well as if from another world.

Coiled around his arm was a strange dragon more than two meters long, exuding a rich True Essence.

The upper half of the strange dragon maintained a human form, its head possessing the physical characteristics of a Horned Dragon, a Heavenly Dao Insect, and a human, appearing unnaturally.

The information stream displayed:

【Insect Molt Pseudo-Dragon】

【Condensed from the Dragon's Roar in a Box, it is buried underground to transform into a spiritual vein, and when it breaks ground, it forms a magical artifact, lasting for a maximum of three hundred and seventy-five years.】

After Ren Qing came to the ground, he felt a terrifying silence in the city.

A thin blood mist drifted through the streets and alleys, and flies were everywhere, with scattered paper money fluttering in the breeze.

Thousands of cultivators sat cross-legged on both sides of the street to recover their cultivation, many still bearing injuries, while demonic cultivators distributed resources.

Just as Ren Qing was about to check the situation, Song Zongwu landed beside him.

Song Zongwu glanced at the Insect Molt without asking, knowing from Ren Qing's expression that things had progressed relatively smoothly.

Ren Qing closed his eyes and his consciousness came to the Yongjian Shackles.

The demonic beasts, including Hu Wen, had left behind a lot of information, but he had been too busy with seclusion to check the specifics.

After he understood the situation, he immediately replied: "Currently, the aberrant Unusual Aberrations that have been demonized in Jing Province are almost extinct, and even if any descend, they will be dealt with immediately by the Rabbit Toad cultivators."

"I plan to place three Unusual Aberrations in Jing Province at the same time, in order to attract the Heavenly Demon."

Song Zongwu nodded, the current situation was still within a controllable range, but Xiangxiang was already preparing to evacuate.

Even the Great Dream True Person had come to the Yellow Sand City in the swamp, ready to support Wuwéi City at any time.

"Ren Qing, since your Gluttony Art can suppress Unusual Aberrations, you should go outside the city to place the Unusual Aberrations, but I suggest it's best to be a thousand miles away."

After Song Zongwu finished speaking, he walked towards the city wall, continuing to be stationed in the outer city, without asking about the Insect Molt in Ren Qing's hand.

Ren Qing looked at the strange-looking Insect Molt, and although he really wanted to put it into the Yongjian Shackles, he still needed to use the You Essence emitted by the Insect Molt to maintain the cultivation of the Taoist disciples.

After all, after the ordinary people gradually evacuated, the manpower in Wuwéi City gradually became tense.

Ren Qing looked around, intending to find a place to temporarily store the Insect Molt, and finally his attention was attracted by the White Bone Glazed Top at the top of the town.

The White Bone Glazed Top had absorbed a lot of You Essence in these days.

They were just waiting for the Four-Headed Heavenly Dao Insect to reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and then use the White Bone Glazed Top to break through to the Distraction stage.

Ren Qing was originally afraid that the You Essence in the White Bone Glazed Top would not be enough, but now he could just use the Insect Molt as a powerful charging treasure.

He threw it into the air with force.

The Insect Molt reluctantly flew towards the White Bone Glazed Top, then disappeared into it, and the source of You Essence changed from underground to overhead.

A moving black shadow also appeared in the transparent White Bone Glazed Top.

The sound of a horn rang out: "Ommm~~~~"

The cultivators had no time to pay attention to the changes above their heads, and gathered towards the city wall one after another, stuffing food into their mouths as they walked.

The calm streets suddenly boiled, and cultivators flocked to the three city walls in groups, especially the main city wall in the center.

"The demonic beasts are attacking the city, pay attention to the allocation of supplies…"

"Form groups of twenty, and retreat immediately when exhausted, do not delay."

"Demonic cultivators are ready to provide relief to the wounded at any time, do not hesitate, do not hesitate!"

Jiang Feng organized the cultivators to defend against the demonic beast siege with a heartbreaking voice, and then, the sound of banging and banging collisions kept coming.

However, as soon as the siege began, the wounded were transported to the bottom of the city wall.

Ren Qing's expression became solemn, he didn't expect the situation in Wuwéi City to be so severe, of course, part of the reason was that Song Zongwu had not taken action.

Now the Rabbit Toad cultivators must have misjudged Wuwéi City.

They simply didn't think Wuwéi City was a threat, and simply treated the siege as a means of dealing with demonic beasts without intelligence.

Demonic beasts with intelligence like Hu Wen were more like resources that the Blood Moon needed to plunder, and may eventually be transformed into Rabbit Toad cultivators.

If Song Zongwu took action, the existence of the Yang God realm would definitely intensify the demonic beast siege, and even attract the Rabbit Toad cultivators to attack them.

Ren Qing came to the city wall in a few flashes, and a strong pungent smell entered his nose.

He looked up.

A giant rhinoceros demonic beast nearly twenty meters tall was hitting the city wall, and the solid city wall had already broken its horn.

Blood splattered, constantly washing the city wall like waves.

The demonic beast tide could not be seen to the end at a glance, and it was also mixed with several giant meat mountains like the rhinoceros demonic beast.

The corpses accumulated on the ground outside the city were already several meters high, and this was still the result of cleaning up after each siege, which shows the madness of the demonic beasts.

Dense small demons climbed along the body of the rhinoceros demonic beast, taking the opportunity to leap onto the city wall and fight with the cultivators.

Such a scene reminded Ren Qing of the movies he had watched in his previous life, when the orcs attacked human cities in The Lord of the Rings, it was also so grand and tragic.

In the blink of an eye, a Forbidden Corps cultivator died of exhaustion under the siege of the demonic beasts.

The demonic beasts, which were originally in the nature of cannibalism, were not interested in the corpse at all, and continued to pounce on the nearest cultivator.

The corpse twitched, and the aberrant object in the body showed some signs of revival.

Ren Qing originally planned to take action to seal the aberrant object, but suddenly a familiar figure窜out beside him, flexibly suppressing the corpse with his arm.

Han Li划opened his wrist, and the gushing blood fell on the surface of the corpse.

As one淡red mushroom bloomed, the corpse fell into a state of being似 alive似 dead, and the revival of the aberrant object suddenly came to an end.

Han Li grabbed the corpse and threw it casually under the wall on the inside, and then disappeared silently into the chaotic crowd of battle.

Ren Qing didn't know what to say, maybe Han Li's character was very suitable for cultivating the Disaster Elimination Art, thinking about the way out in advance for everything.

Han Li frowned, always feeling that someone was observing him in the dark.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look, but the position where Ren Qing was standing was already empty, so he continued to wander the battlefield indifferently.

What Han Li didn't notice was that a corner of the clouds in the sky was torn open.

Ren Qing used the Aberrant Devouring to devour his sense of existence, transformed into a black dragon and went towards the opposite direction of Wuwéi City, and scanned the vicinity with his Double Pupils.

He felt that the demonic beast tide was so orderly, it was likely from the control of the Rabbit Toad cultivators.

At the same time, Ren Qing contacted the demonic beasts such as Hu Wen through the Demon Market, asking them to go to a remote corner outside Wuwéi City as soon as possible.

That place happened to be the blind spot of the demonic beast tide, and he didn't suggest bringing these demonic beasts back to Wuwéi City after placing the Unusual Aberrations.

Mainly because Hu Wen and other demons had helped Ren Qing a lot.

It was a pity that in this ever-changing Jing Province, whether they could seize the opportunity was up to them, and there was not much Ren Qing could do.

There were still a lot of things in Wuwéi City, and wasting half a day was already the limit.

Ren Qing flew faster and faster, fearlessly circling the demonic beast tide a few times, and then prepared to go thousands of miles away.

But just as he was about to leave the range of the demonic beast tide, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

In the locust-like tide, there was actually a half-meter gap left, and the surrounding demonic beasts avoided it, obviously because of fear.

A white bone throne was actually placed at the gap.

A Rabbit Toad cultivator wearing a purple-gold Taoist robe sat cross-legged on the white bone throne, grabbing the passing demonic beasts and stuffing them into his mouth from time to time.

The Rabbit Toad cultivator's body was thin and dry, his skin covered with wrinkles and sores, only his right leg was still incomplete, and was still recovering from his injuries.

The aura he exuded was already very close to the Yang God realm, and the Taoist robe was engraved with the three characters "Xuan Palace Moon", which was obviously a kind of Taoist name.

"It's really boring, it's really boring…"

"This group of soft-shelled turtles don't even have a bit of resistance, I thought I could watch a good show, it's really boring…"

Xuan Palace Moon yawned, continued to grab demonic beasts and devour them, and his broken leg gradually recovered.

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes, not knowing why, even if the Rabbit Toad cultivator had not reached the Yang God realm, he had a very strong sense of threat.
