The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing focused his attention on the Heaven Above from within his cave dwelling deep underground.

He discovered that after several tens of thousands of people integrated into the city, they did not cause the slightest ripple, each being assigned to corresponding empty houses.

Under the influence of the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha's Buddhist aura, hundreds of thousands of people showed obvious homogenization, becoming the most devout believers.

They did not need food, because their bodies would subtly absorb the Buddhist aura, unknowingly satisfying their daily consumption.

Ren Qing narrowed his eyes, and the words "Indestructible Golden Body" couldn't help but pop into his mind.

He originally thought that the Indestructible Golden Body was a special Buddhist physique, but now it seems that it probably refers to a living container used to store Buddhist aura.

The monks throughout the city were being transformed into Indestructible Golden Bodies by the erosion of the Buddhist aura, and their lifespans naturally showed a tendency to skyrocket as a result.

Ren Qing secretly speculated that he suspected that the cultivator who controlled the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha's position had already been reincarnated, and needed a large number of monks to store Buddhist aura, perhaps to absorb it during reconstruction.

However, the layout of the Heaven Above has obviously continued for hundreds of years, and probably no one knows what the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha is planning.

Ren Qing closed his eyes tightly, his consciousness communicating with the dream seed attached to the Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon's forehead, using this to explore the memories in Black Tiger's mind.

He would leave Cishi sooner or later to go further north, so it was necessary to understand the situation.

If Cishi was too dangerous, then Ren Qing could only choose to travel from the bottomless abyss, but it also contained uncertainty.

Time passed unknowingly for several days.

Black Tiger himself had already lost his intelligence and consciousness due to the Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon, so he was able to successfully enter the Heaven Above.

However, under the influence of the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha's Buddhist aura, two consciousnesses were inexplicably born in his soul, namely childhood and old age.

Black Tiger's original personality did not affect the newborn consciousness at all.

Especially the old Black Tiger, his temperament was surprisingly in line with Buddhism, so he coincidentally entered a small temple, "Golden Light Temple".

Black Tiger was given the name Wu Ai, and the childhood and prime of life consciousnesses also benefited, becoming novices in the temple, responsible for cleaning the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

The three time points did not interfere with each other, but at least the identities of the monks were similar.

After Ren Qing digested Wu Ai's memories, he immediately observed the other party with great interest, and discovered something unusual about Wu Ai in his prime.

Wu Ai in his prime held a broom, seemingly cleaning the ground, but his eyes were coldly staring at every monk who passed by.

Many monks were slightly afraid of Wu Ai, and chose to walk around him.

Wu Ai's expression was foolish, constantly chanting the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha, looking harmless, but at the same time full of malice.

Although he had no intelligence, the Buddhist aura did not wear away his nature at all.

What kind of person is Black Tiger?

Ren Qing had actually glimpsed a little from Black Tiger's memory.

Cishi was a hundred times more dangerous than he imagined, even comparable to Jingzhou when the demonic aura was rampant, filled with demons and ghosts everywhere.

But the further away from the Heaven Above, the more ferocious the demons and ghosts that were born.

Ren Qing felt that it should be the work of the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha, after all, only when mortals are in suffering will they strengthen their faith in gods and Buddhas.

So, every once in a while, a large number of refugees would go to the Heaven Above.

Under normal circumstances, refugees are the most fanatical believers, but it is inevitable that villains who associate with demons and ghosts will be born.

Black Tiger is a pure villain.

He was born in a time of famine, and almost filled his stomach with corpses.

He had no concept of good and evil from childhood to adulthood, and eating people was engraved in his bones, and in his eyes it was just a common thing.

Even if Black Tiger had lost his intelligence, his instinctive malice was still buried in his heart, and even became more terrifying.

"At the beginning of man, his nature is evil?"

Ren Qing turned his attention to the Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon again, and couldn't help but shake his head regretfully.

As a crudely made magic weapon soul, the Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon only had a lifespan of half a year, and it also did not have intelligence.

He originally planned to pull it into the dream market to obtain lifespan after the Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon extended its lifespan.

However, the Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon seemed difficult to transform into an Indestructible Golden Body, resulting in no Buddhist aura from the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha being infused, and its lifespan could not be increased.

It was hidden in Black Tiger's body and mixed into the Heaven Above.

Perhaps in the default of the Buddhist aura, the Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon belonged to a part of Black Tiger's body, and was not a complete living being.

Ren Qing pinched his temples.

As expected, it is not so easy to steal lifespan from the "farm" of the Earth Immortal.

He then took out the materials that could lead to transformation into an Indestructible Golden Body, preparing to refine a new Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon, and then try to mutate it.

As for the first Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon, Ren Qing did not waste it, and was using the demonic aura contained in the dream seed to act on Black Tiger's heart.

Ren Qing was really curious, what kind of reaction would the Buddhist aura have when the various parts of Black Tiger's body gradually demonized.

As the erosion of the demonic aura intensified, facial features suddenly appeared on the surface of the heart, and the connected blood vessels struggled like hands and feet.

Ren Qing carefully observed Black Tiger, the latter did not notice anything unusual at all, but the surrounding Buddhist aura uncontrollably poured into his body.

The Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha's Buddhist aura was like a ferocious beast guarding its territory, wandering through the eight extraordinary meridians throughout his body, trying to find the existence of the demonic aura.

Seeing this, Ren Qing quickly stripped away the demonic aura with the dream seed.

The Buddhist aura did not find the demonic aura, and did not care about the heart demon that was already independent of the body, and soon returned to its calm state.

The heart demon could not completely complete its transformation because it did not have the support of demonic aura, and still had to depend on Black Tiger to survive.

Ren Qing frowned tightly, and was shocked by the performance of the Buddhist aura.

First of all, it can be determined that the Buddhist aura is not controlled by cultivators, otherwise it would not have noticed the heart demon and the Moonfall Pseudo-Dragon.

Then why is the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha's Buddhist aura so... orderly?

The Buddhist aura has a unique life, after all, it has devoured cultivators of all ages.

Ren Qing had previously come into contact with the Seated Deer Arhat Buddhist aura emitted by Song Zongwu, and his impression was that it was extremely chaotic. As long as the Buddhist aura left the body, it would instinctively convert all living beings.

How could it be like the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha's Buddhist aura, so picky?

It should be known that the Seated Deer Arhat is only an Arhat position, and there are ninety-seven Buddha images in total, which have already reached such a terrifying level.

The Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha's Buddhist aura has devoured the bodies and souls of seven or eight hundred cultivators, and it should be more chaotic and more difficult to control.

While Ren Qing was puzzled, he suddenly noticed the pseudo-soul nurtured by the Salary King.

The malice emitted by the third pseudo-soul was already faint, and it seemed that the Salary King was using the effect of the Other Shore Flower to make himself more pure.

Wait...

Ren Qing's pupils dilated, and he stood up as if struck by lightning, wanting to look at the mountains outside the city, but the stone wall was too thick.

He had to use the vague induction of the ghost shadow, and the continuous peaks had Buddha-like characteristics, which seemed very strange and inexplicable.

If the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha used some means to seal the hundreds of Buddhas contained in the Buddhist aura into the mountains, so as to get rid of the drawbacks after the cultivators of all ages achieved the right result.

The mountains that have been integrated into the Buddha's corpse are not like the Buddha image behind Song Zongwu, sealing the Buddhist cultivators who have achieved the right result in the past dynasties.

The more Ren Qing thought about it, the more likely it was, but at the same time, he strengthened his plan to extend his life.

The number of Buddha corpses has not yet reached the upper limit. As long as he does not destroy the delicate situation of the Heaven Above, he will not alarm the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha.

Take this opportunity to collect enough lifespan to be promoted to Yongjian Leixie.

Two secondary spells need four hundred years of lifespan to break through the Yin-Yang realm, plus the thousand years of lifespan of Yongjian Leixie, which is only one thousand four hundred years.

Hundreds of thousands of monks each have a thousand years of lifespan, and if they lose a little, they will definitely not be discovered.

Ren Qing couldn't help but ponder how to efficiently extend his life. As long as he collected enough lifespan, he would immediately withdraw from this ghostly place in Cishi.

He suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, and it was highly feasible.

Ren Qing closed his eyes to perfect the plan to extend his life.

At the same time, with the alternation of the sun and the moon, strange changes occurred in Black Tiger's body. His heart did not weaken because it turned into old age.

Making the three consciousnesses of childhood, prime of life, and old age merge with each other.

Black Tiger has only been in the Heaven Above for a few days, but he has already reached the conditions for sitting down, which simply means that he can accommodate more Buddhist aura and become a member of the Buddha's corpse.

I have a cold, and my head is dizzy.

I thought it would be bad to stop updating, so I wrote a chapter.

Alas, I have been in a bad state these two days, and I will resume the update of six thousand words a day tomorrow. Dear officials, I am really sorry.
