The Secret Way of Immortality

Upon learning that the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha's goal might involve the Scripture of the Dead, Ren Qing found himself in a dilemma.

Continuing north might not lead to any clues about the Scripture of the Dead, so focusing on the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha might be better.

After a moment of hesitation, Ren Qing simply took out a blank Dream Flower artifact to absorb the shadow aura emitted by the ghost shadow.

The Dream Flower originally resembled a butterfly, but under the stimulation of the ghost shadow, its wings gradually hardened and elongated, and its body was covered with an exoskeleton.

In a short period of time, the Shadow Dream Flower transformed into a terrifying black beetle, flapping its wings and darting through the darkness.

At first glance, the beetle's appearance looked like a bizarre skull.

Ren Qing was slightly surprised, noting that after the transformation, the Dream artifact seemed to resemble more closely the flesh and blood artifacts like the Toad and Rabbit.

Only then did he notice that Yongjian Leixie's Tinder Dream Flower had transformed into a moth and was lying on the lava, absorbing heat.

The Buddhist Dream Flower contained too little alien aura, so it did not undergo flesh transformation.

Ren Qing controlled the Shadow Dream Flower to scout the surroundings.

He discovered that the Shadow Dream Flower could silently blend into the darkness, and the noise generated by its flight was minimal, making it difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Ren Qing temporarily docked the ghost ship along the stone wall, and then used his mind to control the Shadow Dream Flower, returning the way it came to the Heaven Above Heaven.

He decided to try to observe the movements of the giant corpse Buddha in secret to determine whether it involved the Scripture of the Dead before making a decision.

At worst, he would lose a Dream artifact, which could be re-nurtured anyway.

At the same time, Ren Qing issued a task to the cultivators in his stomach world, asking them to prepare various supplies to be sent to the Longevity Forbidden Zone.

Even Li Tiangang was alarmed by this action, but because he was busy stabilizing his cultivation, he inquired about the situation and then continued his seclusion.

Li Yaoyang and other Yin Envoy realm cultivators began to refine materials for building city walls.

During this period, Ren Qing stood idly on the deck, looking around at the boundless darkness without any movement.

"Using this ghostly place for rest, I always feel frightened."

Ren Qing really didn't have many good options. He had to maintain a distance from the Heaven Above Heaven, but he couldn't go too deep into the Bottomless Abyss. He didn't know what the ground was like, so he might as well stay where he was.

The stomach world had just advanced to the Yang God realm and still needed to contact the Longevity Forbidden Zone, so he had to bite the bullet and focus his attention elsewhere.

As for the remaining two thousand years of lifespan, he considered how to spend it after the stomach world had mutual exchange.

Ren Qing subconsciously wanted to dig a cave in the surrounding rock wall.

But as soon as the ghost shadow touched the rock wall, he realized that its hardness far exceeded that of the Heaven Above Heaven. He couldn't do it silently.

Without a choice, Ren Qing could only suspend the ghost ship in mid-air, covering the hull with ghost shadows, plus using the Disaster Elimination Method to continuously eliminate its presence.

Even so, he didn't want to go to the seemingly safer ground.

Ren Qing now deeply understood a truth: mortals are an indispensable resource for any force.

Therefore, places suitable for human survival must hide powerful existences.

The Bottomless Abyss does seem dangerous on the surface, after all, it is deserted all year round, and may hide unknown horrors.

But thinking about it carefully, at least Earth Immortals cannot come to the Bottomless Abyss to set up a layout. Those immortals and Buddhas are busy competing for "mortals".

Ren Qing then chose to close his eyes and rest in the cabin, using his main and secondary souls to communicate with the Forbidden Zone in the Longevity Forbidden Zone.

The atmosphere in the stomach world was also fiery. When the cultivators learned that they were about to contact their relatives and friends, they would naturally not be negligent in the slightest.

Unknowingly, several days passed.

The Forbidden Zone had already been partially refined by Ren Qing, so the progress was relatively smooth.

However, Ren Qing vaguely felt that the Longevity Forbidden Zone was not peaceful, but he was busy with the outside world and had not paid attention to it for a long time.

The Shadow Dream Flower finally arrived at the Heaven Above Heaven, and specifically chose to go to the ground at night.

All the city wall buildings had disappeared, leaving only hundreds of Buddha corpse peaks, and a bronze-colored thousand-meter Buddha statue standing in the center.

The Buddha statue was obviously transformed from a giant corpse Buddha, and at its feet were tens of thousands of kneeling monks.

Ren Qing immediately realized that the monks should all be refugees who came here later, and now they have become believers serving the giant corpse Buddha.

They evenly smeared the ground Buddha bones on the surface of the giant corpse Buddha, and used Buddha skin to fit the cracked skin.

The overwhelming Buddha energy surrounded the giant corpse Buddha, but only a small part of the Buddha energy could merge into the giant corpse Buddha's body.

Ren Qing could see that the purpose of the Buddha energy was to create a container that could store itself.

Although the giant corpse Buddha was once the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha, the body after its resurrection could not fully absorb the Buddha energy like the Buddha's son.

The contemporary Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha was not dead, and the position could not be passed on to the successor Buddha's son.

Therefore, the Buddha energy used Buddha bones and Buddha skin to make the giant corpse Buddha more adapted to itself, so as to completely accommodate the massive Buddha energy.

I'm afraid that by then, the giant corpse Buddha will officially leave the Heaven Above Heaven.

Ren Qing felt that the Buddha energy of the Great Compassionate Maitreya Buddha should have intelligence, but the way of thinking was completely different from ordinary people, only considering the pros and cons.

That's why he allowed him to steal his lifespan.

It's a pity that although the existing monks have been converted by the Buddha energy, their lifespan has not skyrocketed, otherwise he could have harvested a wave of leeks.

Ren Qing hid the Shadow Dream Flower on the edge of the Bottomless Abyss, and then concentrated his energy on the Forbidden Zone, constantly communicating with his mind.

When he could vaguely feel the Longevity Forbidden Zone, he immediately descended his main soul consciousness into the Longevity Forbidden Zone. As a result, as soon as he possessed it for a few breaths, a large amount of memory poured into his mind.

Ren Qing couldn't help but be surprised.

The time flow rate in the Longevity Forbidden Zone was slightly faster. Two or three years had passed inside. During this period, the clone had died more than ten times.

The clone did not die at its peak, and the physical skills it mastered had not been cultivated to a high level, so the lifespan it added to the main body was limited.

The trouble in the Longevity Forbidden Zone was the Longevity Species, which led to Xiangxiang and Wei'an being forced to unite.

Originally, there were blank areas separating Sanxiang City, Wei'an Town, An'nan Town, and He'shan Town, but now they have been connected together.

It is equivalent to forming an ellipse around the Longevity Tree in the middle, and the outermost side is a city wall more than ten meters high, where you can see densely packed martial artists and cultivators patrolling.

The surface of the city wall is full of flesh and blood dirt, obviously it has experienced many wars.

Just as Ren Qing was stunned, a loud horn sounded from the city wall, and a large number of torches were thrown outside the city, instantly illuminating the outside of the city.

Tens of thousands of monsters came.

The monster's appearance was like a patchwork of vines, barely able to see a human form, but dozens of hands and feet had covered its body.

Ren Qing squinted his eyes and muttered to himself: "Longevity Species..."

According to the clone's memory, the Longevity Forbidden Zone did not have peace for long. After only half a year of recuperation, it ushered in a counterattack from the Longevity Species.

The Longevity Species is the manifestation of the strange objects in the Forbidden Zone.

As a Yang God realm Forbidden Zone, the Longevity Species that should come to attack should be transformed from strange objects above the Ghost Envoy realm, but in reality, they are all strange objects of the Martial Artist realm and Half-Corpse realm.

The number of Longevity Species is endless, and the siege of towns has never stopped, with a maximum of two or three hours of rest.

In addition, the cultivator's Jailer Method is limited, which led to a sharp turn for the worse in the situation.

What makes Ren Qing most helpless is that this type of Longevity Species may be strange objects bred by the Tree Immortal, and the lifespan they provide is extremely low, and the absorption efficiency is also very slow.

It is possible that before the clone has devoured a few, the remaining strange objects have been absorbed by the Longevity Forbidden Zone.

The city wall defended by the Jailer Hall is fine, but Wei'an Town is a bit reluctant.

No matter how much the Jailer Hall supports, it cannot change the problem of the small number of martial artists in Wei'an Town, but if you want to completely popularize physical skills, the food production cannot keep up.

As a result, many times, Ren Qing, the strongest person in Wei'an Town, needs to use an injury-for-injury method to ensure that the city wall is not breached.

Ren Qing's ears twitched slightly, but just as the siege began, Wei'an Town had already begun to ask for help.

He asked the ghost shadow to go to support.

He sat at the bottom of the Longevity Tree, communicating with the Forbidden Zone together with the main body, gradually creating a connection between the two Avici Hells.

The Dream Market vibrated slightly.

Ren Qing not only brought the series of main and secondary spells of the stomach world to the extreme, but also blessed the Dream spells on Avici Hell.

Even if he has achieved the Yang God realm, it is extremely difficult to connect the two small worlds thousands of miles apart.

The cultivators in the stomach world have been notified in advance, but the Longevity Forbidden Zone is not aware of it.

Huang Ziwan transformed into a purple giant and was spewing venom. Suddenly, he belatedly looked at the Longevity Tree and frowned slightly.

It was not only him who was aware, as long as the cultivators who had ever returned to Avici Hell could vaguely detect the strangeness.

Heavy breathing rose and fell.

Even the people of Xiangxiang were discussing with each other, only the expressions of the people of Wei'an Town became extremely suspicious.

In the open space next to the Longevity Tree, a faint light flickered.

Noisy voices sounded out of thin air, as if in a bustling market.

The Xiangxiang cultivators were silent for a moment, and then let out a tsunami-like cheer, their eyes full of the once prosperous Jailer Hall.

Mu Yi was overjoyed. He had heard Ren Qing say before that he had found a way to communicate with the outside world, and then supplies would be endless.

He slapped his hands on the ground, and countless vines spread out, quickly moving away the sundries on the open space.

Xiao Wu was on the edge of the Longevity Tree, and seemed to hear a familiar call in his ear, staring blankly at the looming market in front of him.

The Dream Market burst out with seven-colored light, instantly turning the city into daylight.

When the daylight disappeared, a spacious ghost city stood in the open space, and the many cultivators in the stomach world transformed into half-true and half-false phantoms.

Their main bodies were still in the stomach world, but they appeared in the Longevity Forbidden Zone in the form of dreams. Only dead objects could communicate with each other through the ghost market.

Ren Qing had already notified them in advance. Tons of food were piled up in the ghost market, as well as thousands of pounds of modified giant pork.

Xiao San'er's eyes were red. He noticed Xiao Wu's figure at the first time. The latter had a few more gray hairs on his temples.

He subconsciously wanted to leave the ghost market, but after all, it was just a projection, blocked by an invisible wall.

Xiao Wu smiled and shook his head, and took the initiative to walk towards Xiao San'er.

Before the two could chat for a few words, Mu Yi had already urged the cultivators to transport supplies, and had to use more solid materials to repair the city wall.

Xiangxiang's morale was greatly boosted, and the Wei'an people learned that they were from the upper realm, and the gap in their hearts disappeared.
