The Secret Way of Immortality
#393 - The Buddha's corpse travels, and Ren Qing follows behind
Ren Qing was immersed in how to better play the role of a storyteller, and didn't pay attention to the passage of time at all. He only occasionally checked the general situation of the Eternal Life Forbidden Zone.
Overall, he had control over thirty to forty percent of the hundreds of thousands of people.
It was just that the low-level body cultivators mainly focused on tempering their Qi and blood, and their contribution to the dream market's transactions wasn't significant.
However, Ren Qing discovered that after the Jailers advanced to Avici Hell in his stomach world, they now seemed to be on the verge of transformation.
He planned to wait until things settled down before considering increasing the number of Jailers. The Yang God realm should no longer limit the number of Jailers below the Yin Official realm.
The situation on the Heaven Above Heaven side was becoming increasingly complex.
If Ren Qing hadn't been observing Heaven Above Heaven with the Shadow Dream Seed, he probably wouldn't have been able to connect the current giant Corpse Buddha with the Buddha that had been walking in the bottomless abyss before.
The giant Corpse Buddha now resembled a withered, mummified corpse, sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne carved from the mountain, as if it had been meditating for a long time.
Most of the skin on its body had fallen off, and the tens of thousands of monks who had converted to the Buddha's Qi no longer applied Buddha bone powder, completely ignoring it.
The area covered by the Buddha's Qi had shrunk by more than half, but recently, the giant Corpse Buddha's efficiency in absorbing Buddha's Qi had obviously completely stagnated.
Ren Qing felt that the Maitreya Bodhisattva's plan for Heaven Above Heaven had pretty much failed, and the giant Corpse Buddha's vitality was weakening.
He didn't know what the Buddha's Qi would do next.
If it rebuilt Heaven Above Heaven, it would indeed be good for Ren Qing. He could find a chance to continue harvesting, but he was afraid that it would act extremely.
If the entire Maitreya Clan was razed to the ground at that time, then his plan would naturally fail.
Ren Qing planned to use the Dream Flower magic item to drill into the giant Corpse Buddha's body in the near future, so as to obtain clues about the Death Forbidden Zone.
To be cautious, he replaced the Shadow Dream Flower with the Buddhist Dream Flower, hoping that the aura of the same origin would not cause the Buddha's Qi to riot.
According to Ren Qing's previous experience with Buddha's Qi, the latter's mechanical intelligence didn't care about his intentions at all.
However, perhaps it was because the current Maitreya Bodhisattva had broken free from his position, which led to the Buddha's Qi becoming incomplete and its actions unpredictable.
Ren Qing was ready to retreat at any time.
After a long period of absorbing Buddha's Qi, the appearance of the Buddhist Dream Flower had transformed into a golden cicada, and it quietly arrived in the area of Heaven Above Heaven.
It stayed on the trunk of the giant tree, confirmed that the Buddha's Qi had not shown any abnormalities, and then slowly approached the giant Corpse Buddha.
Ren Qing took this opportunity to discover more strange things about Heaven Above Heaven.
He noticed that there were thousands of monks eking out a living in the ruins of buildings, seemingly to avoid the scorching sun.
The monks had completely mutated into "Indestructible Golden Bodies", their appearance resembling bronze statues, which showed that they had been eating Buddha skin and Buddha bones for a long time.
The Indestructible Golden Body did not bring them strong physiques at all, but instead made them seem to be breathing more out than in, and they might die at any time.
Ren Qing ignored the many monks and went straight to within a hundred meters of the giant Corpse Buddha.
The chest and abdomen of the giant Corpse Buddha still had very slight undulations, and dark golden blood flowed down the lotus throne to the ground.
The Buddhist Dream Flower approached the giant Corpse Buddha's face, and the latter's heavy breathing formed a hurricane, almost blowing the golden cicada away.
Ren Qing took a deep breath and controlled the Buddhist Dream Flower to crawl into the giant Corpse Buddha's body through its nostrils.
In terms of the giant Corpse Buddha's kilometer-long body, the Buddhist Dream Flower was like a speck of dust, and did not cause the other party to react at all.
Ren Qing noticed that the giant Corpse Buddha's decay was not limited to the surface. The condition of the flesh and internal organs was even more serious, and there was even a sign of imminent collapse.
Originally, it could rely on Buddha skin and Buddha bones to slow down the trend of demise, but now it was left alone, and it might turn into decay within a few months.
Ren Qing would naturally not meddle in other people's business, and followed the blood vessels to the location of the brain.
Compared to the dilapidated flesh body, the giant Corpse Buddha's brain was like colored glaze, emitting bursts of hazy light.
However, it also meant that the Buddha's Qi's erosion of the brain was the most serious.
After hesitating for a long time, Ren Qing immediately gave up the idea of forcibly obtaining memories, and chose to use the Dream magic item's ability to search for clues.
However, as a Yin Official realm Dream magic item, it was conceivable how difficult it would be to affect the giant Corpse Buddha. He had to take his time and do it slowly.
It took him several days to barely obtain a few useful blurry images.
It seemed that the place he was in was extremely dark, and he could vaguely see countless corpses hanging in the air, some large and some small, from half a meter to several thousand meters, which seemed strange and inexplicable.
In the giant Corpse Buddha's memory of this, it was filled with the words "immortality".
Ren Qing was at least seventy to eighty percent certain that the purpose of the Buddha's Qi was the Undying Forbidden Zone.
Just as he was about to take back the Buddhist Dream Flower, he suddenly discovered that the giant Corpse Buddha was shaking.
The giant Corpse Buddha seemed to have just woken up from a dream, struggling to stand up, and the already stinky blood spurted out.
Its actions seemed to be accelerating its own death, and flesh and blood collapsed with every step it took.
As Ren Qing watched, the giant Corpse Buddha got up and came to the ruins of the building, facing the thousands of monks who had mutated into Indestructible Golden Bodies.
It then opened its mouth, and a suction force in the air swept up sand and soil.
Thousands of monks knelt on the ground. Even though the Buddha in front of them looked more like a corpse that was about to die, their hearts were still full of piety.
They were all sucked into the giant Corpse Buddha's abdomen one by one.
The aura emitted by the giant Corpse Buddha suddenly converged by three points, and then the Buddha's Qi in Heaven Above Heaven rushed towards the former impatiently.
The Buddha's Qi disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The condition of the giant Corpse Buddha's body improved, and Buddha skin actually grew out on its own, and the traces of decay began to gradually heal.
However, the flesh and blood became even more withered, and it was impossible to see how much meat there was.
Ren Qing felt that the giant Corpse Buddha was still not optimistic. It was completely relying on the Buddha's Qi to maintain its vitality, and it could cause the deterioration of its injuries at any time.

The Buddha's Qi in the giant Corpse Buddha's body became more and more concentrated, and gradually began to become more spiritual.
Ren Qing took the opportunity to let the Buddhist Dream Flower drill out of the giant Corpse Buddha's mouth and nose, but as soon as it left the scope of Heaven Above Heaven, he heard an explosion.
He saw the Buddha's Qi soaring into the sky, using the clouds to construct the appearance of a Buddha.
The Buddha had a kind face and benevolent eyes, revealing a compassionate expression, and the faint Buddha light shone on the world, covering up the sun.
Ren Qing immediately reacted.
The reason why the giant Corpse Buddha would devour a large number of monks was mainly because the Indestructible Golden Body could act as a "battery" for the Buddha's Qi.
The Buddha's Qi was forcibly allowing the giant Corpse to accommodate itself.
When the clouds turned into the shape of a Buddha, it would definitely attract a large number of Maitreya people to Heaven Above Heaven, indicating that the Buddha's Qi needed more batteries.
Sure enough, as Ren Qing expected, within a few days, refugees from Maitreya came to Heaven Above Heaven to make a pilgrimage.
Their expressions were extremely excited, and they did not notice the ruins left over from the town, or the bloody smell in the air at all.
As soon as they approached the Buddha's Qi, the souls of many Maitreya people had already been converted by the Buddha's Qi.
By taking Buddha bones and Buddha skin, they quickly completed the mutation of the Indestructible Golden Body, and were finally swallowed by the giant Corpse Buddha.
Seeing this, Ren Qing released ghost shadows, specifically hiding on a certain necessary road in Heaven Above Heaven, collecting Maitreya people as much as possible.
Mortals are indispensable resources for all forces. The Buddha's Qi is busy dealing with the giant Corpse Buddha and will not pay attention to the outside of Heaven Above Heaven.
Ren Qing knew that as time passed, more and more Maitreya people would come to Heaven Above Heaven.
Even if he could only collect a portion, no matter how small it was, there would be tens of thousands of people. Currently, the stomach world needs a large population to fill it.
It was a pity that after being illuminated by the Buddha's light, Ren Qing clearly discovered that the bodies and souls of the Maitreya people had shown a tendency to mutate and lose control.
They might not be able to cultivate the Jailer Law anymore.
Ren Qing threw tens of thousands of refugees next to the village established by the previous group of Maitreya people, which was managed by a monk named Tang Sheng.
This situation continued for more than half a month before it stopped when the Buddha's Qi completely converged.
Looking at the giant Corpse Buddha again, it was like being plagued by diseases. Although it did not continue to decay, it was skin and bones, and was obviously dying.
A hundred Buddha diagram was revealed behind it, but the Buddhas on it were all headless.
"Immortality, immortality, immortality..."
It made a low, hoarse voice, and its legs supported its body with force, its joints creaking, and blood splattering like raindrops.
The giant Corpse Buddha took a step, flattening the ruins of Heaven Above Heaven with one foot, while a large amount of flesh and blood on its legs dissolved and fell off.
It faced the north, and its goal was likely the Undying Forbidden Zone in its mouth.
Ren Qing's ghost ship was in the bottomless abyss, and at the same time began to sail, with the ghost shadow closely following the giant Corpse Buddha with the Dream magic item.
However, he felt that the giant Corpse Buddha's situation was not optimistic.
The body barely pieced together by the Maitreya Bodhisattva's Buddha's Qi could not possibly last for a long journey. It might turn into mud.
Ren Qing had to take it one step at a time.
As for that unrealistic idea, it made him have an increasingly strong impulse, after all, the benefits contained in it were unspeakable.
I'm stuck, sorry for the delay
