The Secret Way of Immortality
#445 - The Dead Man's Sutra
How to store memories is a big problem...
Ren Qing couldn't help but look at Daoist Lingxiao's Natal Golden Core, thinking that perhaps refining it into a magical artifact could realize this bold idea.
However, he still needed to digest the memories within the Natal Golden Core for the time being.
He felt it would take at least several months, as the memories were too chaotic, and he had to filter out useful information bit by bit.
Ren Qing started doing it himself, but after several days, his head started to ache faintly, giving him the illusion of being eroded by the core's toxins.
Seeing this, he simply let the Mycelial Souls take charge, as losing a few Mycelial Souls wouldn't matter much.
During this time, the right arm of the Giant Corpse Buddha completed its transformation into a magical artifact, and allowed the Blood Thickening Disease to breed within it.
Now the skin of the right arm was dark black, and occasionally droplets of venom would drip from the fingertips, corroding most of the corpses beneath.
When the Rank 3 martial artist's strange object merged into the right arm of the Giant Corpse Buddha, resources were produced, shaped like grapes.
【Venom Blood Fruit】
【Condensed from the Black Arm Skill, if you are poisoned, it can be used as an antidote after consumption; if you are not poisoned, you will be invaded by the venom.】
The Giant Corpse Buddha had gradually removed the traces of Buddhism, causing the resources produced by the mutated organs to change in name.
The Moon Marks no longer retained Buddhist energy, with only the Youyuan in the blood vessels remaining, and some inconspicuous Buddhist energy that had not been purified.
It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before the Maitreya Worm Buddha Scripture transformed into the Netherworld Celestial Worm Technique.
At that time, the Giant Corpse Buddha might be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage (Netherworld Official Realm). With such a volume of Youyuan content, it was truly not easy.
Ren Qing also exhausted the memories stored in the Main Brain, but unfortunately, most of the information inside was fragmented and of little value.
After extracting a large amount of memory, the Main Brain had shrunk by a third, its surface decayed and crumbling, barely maintained by vitality.
He was not in a hurry to extract the vitality from the Main Brain, but instead increased the stimulation of vitality.
Once the Main Brain returned to its original state, it would be used as material to refine a container for storing memories, to avoid accidentally wasting the Natal Golden Core.
The Pill Dao Sect might have already been destroyed, and finding a Yang God realm Pill Dao cultivator again was unrealistic.
Ren Qing first used the Split Soul Disease to modify the structure of the Main Brain, so that the stored memories would not affect each other, causing them to become mixed together.
Split Soul Disease refers to Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Because the disease was too rare, Ren Qing obtained it from the Tree of Immortality.
The process of modifying the disease was quite cumbersome. If it weren't for the experience from the Celestial Heavens, it might have taken him half a year to get started.
Ren Qing never thought that mental illness would affect the brain, but now he knew.
The Main Brain constantly split consciousness, and the wrinkles on the surface became more and more numerous, accompanied by viscous brain matter seeping out.
Ren Qing found that the Main Brain had reached its limit, so he stopped driving the Split Soul Disease.
The Main Brain produced a total of seventy-eight strands of consciousness. He had previously accidentally modified the Main Brain with Cerebral Palsy Disease, resulting in blank consciousness, which could be used to accommodate memories.
Unfortunately, there were only seventy-eight strands of consciousness, less than Ren Qing had expected.
More than two hundred cultivators were killed in the battle with the Pill Dao Sect, so the Main Brain was definitely not enough to store their memories, and he had to rely on the Natal Golden Core.
Ren Qing treated the Main Brain as a backup, placing it in the underground cave of Iceland.
He patiently waited for the Natal Golden Core, occasionally glancing at the memories within. After removing a large number of memories of mortals, the remaining threads were very clear.
They were basically all memories of Pill Dao Sect cultivators before their deaths.
The memories of cultivators killed by Daoist Lingxiao were very few, indicating that he was a coward when he was alive.
Of course, he was able to survive the disaster two hundred years ago, thanks to being cautious enough.
The Natal Golden Core wriggled uncomfortably. Under the tireless efforts of the Mycelial Souls, some memories of Pill Dao Sect cultivators surfaced.
The first were low-realm disciples who died before experiencing the disaster, usually in accidental encounters with other forces.
Because the time was too long ago, the memories had long become blurred.
Ren Qing could only vaguely distinguish that it seemed that more than one Buddhist force was involved.
Of course, there were also Daoist forces, mostly strange Daoists with bizarre bodies, among which he could also see insect-men like True Person Yuhua.
Ren Qing asked True Person Yuhua, but the latter had never known about it.
The Pill Dao Sect was more like muddling through, thinking there was an opportunity. Daoist Lingxiao then mobilized all the sect's living forces to go to the restricted area.
The various forces seemed to be vying for something, or a chance to become immortal and attain the Dao.
Ren Qing remained noncommittal. He wanted to know the clues to the Scripture of the Dead even more.
After the memories in the Natal Golden Core were stripped to less than a thousand strands, images of the Immortal Gate began to increase, but they were all distant perspectives.
Ren Qing's eyes were filled with shock. Even if he only glimpsed a little from the memories, it made his heart beat uncontrollably.
The so-called "Immortal Gate" was actually a corpse of unknown thousands of meters.
Compared to the Immortal Gate corpse, the Giant Corpse Buddha was just a newborn baby, which showed how huge its figure was, inserted straight into the sky.
The Immortal Gate corpse was naked, kneeling on the ground with bent knees, its disheveled head hanging down, making it impossible to see its appearance clearly.
As for why it was called the Immortal Gate, it was purely because the chest and abdomen of the corpse were hollowed out, and the unfolded ribs were like a giant gate of flesh and blood.
The chest and abdomen were filled with endless darkness, as if connected to another world.
Ren Qing cursed a few times. The Dead Man's Restricted Area was only Yang God realm, what exactly happened in the past to cause such a strange situation?
He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and continued to sort out the memories in the Natal Golden Core.
A thousand strands of memory slowly reduced to three hundred strands.
The Pill Dao Sect cultivators were getting closer and closer to the Immortal Gate, during which they encountered many battles.
However, the Daoists and Buddhists were still restrained, at most just constant friction.
At the same time, they discovered a steady stream of zombies heading towards the Immortal Gate, but their souls had no information about the Immortal Gate, so they were called "People of the Gate".
And the deaths of the Pill Dao Sect were entirely due to Daoist Lingxiao wanting to refine Dao soldiers, after all, the Dead Man's Restricted Area was full of dangers.
Ren Qing's mood calmed down, trying to treat himself as an observer.
When the number of memories in the Natal Golden Core sharply reduced to fifty strands, the Pill Dao Sect cultivators belonged to the core disciples.
They were stationed around the Immortal Gate, not choosing to rashly step into the gate.
I don't know how long it has passed, even an town has been formed outside, and they haven't tried to go to the Immortal Gate.
The speed of Ren Qing's memory stripping gradually accelerated, and more clues came into view.
The Daoists and Buddhists finally decided to explore the Immortal Gate, and Daoist Lingxiao, in order to seize the opportunity, simply swallowed all the remaining disciples.
Daoist Lingxiao followed the team to approach the Immortal Gate.
Ren Qing took the opportunity to see the Immortal Gate clearly. On the surface of the corpse's skin, there were densely packed twisted characters.
He subconsciously called out the information stream, and his pupils dilated instantly.
【Scripture of the Dead】
【Created by the Corpse Immortal, cultivation requires using rivets to seal off the Laogong acupoint, Yongquan acupoint, Shenmen acupoint, and Yintang acupoint, and burying it in the ground for three years. After completion, one will not age, be born, die, or perish.】
【The Scripture of the Dead lacks some content and cannot consume lifespan to master.】
"Scripture of the Dead, it really is the Scripture of the Dead, not aging, not being born, not dying, not perishing..."
Ren Qing couldn't help but mutter to himself. As long as the authenticity of the Scripture of the Dead was confirmed, it was necessary to try to obtain it. At least his trip was not wrong.
The Scripture of the Dead in the memory was obviously incomplete, causing the information stream to be unable to master the spell.
Ren Qing wanted to complete it himself through the text, but the twisted handwriting was difficult to identify, and the texts and languages of various regions were different.
From this, it can be seen that going to the Immortal Gate is really unavoidable.
Fortunately, the Scripture of the Dead is engraved on the surface of the Immortal Gate corpse's skin. Even if it is not complete, Ren Qing only needs to copy it down, recognize the handwriting, and then use the information stream to complete it bit by bit.
He continued to strip the memory, and then it was Daoist Lingxiao's turn.
But to Ren Qing's disappointment, Daoist Lingxiao, after approaching the Immortal Gate, noticed that irreversible corpse changes appeared in his body, and actually chose to retreat.
The memory did not involve the Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva or ***, both of which should be hundreds or thousands of years earlier than the Daoist and Buddhist forces.
"He has already sacrificed all the disciples, and just gave up?"
He had the idea of refining Daoist Lingxiao into a Dao soldier and then killing him again. He had never seen such a cowardly sect leader.
In the end, only a few dozen cultivators entered the Immortal Gate, both Daoists and Buddhists.
After the Daoist and Buddhist cultivators entered the Immortal Gate, they did not return for decades, and the various forces still patiently stationed in place.
But what caught them off guard was that the range of corpse changes began to spread, and everyone showed different degrees of alienation.
The outside became extremely chaotic, and Daoist Lingxiao left the Immortal Gate.
He originally wanted to return to the outside world, but the corpse-changed body was firmly bound to the Dead Man's Restricted Area, and eventually wandered aimlessly for a hundred years.
Daoist Lingxiao was afraid of the corpse change intensifying, and did not dare to approach the Immortal Gate during this period, until "people" really came out of the Immortal Gate.
This memory was extremely fragmented, and there were not even specific images.
It was as if a deliberately implanted idea was driving Daoist Lingxiao to go to the Immortal Gate, but the latter was too timid and cautious, and only after meeting the Giant Corpse Buddha did he firmly step into the idea of the Immortal Gate.
Ren Qing closed his eyes and digested the complex information in the memory.
He still suspected that the Immortal Gate might involve ***. The purpose of all the cultivators was to go to the gate, but the specific reasons varied.
Each force seemed to be sure that the Immortal Gate could attain enlightenment and become an immortal, so they sent disciples there, and there was no further support.
The Pill Dao Sect was an unknowing speculator, and died the most miserably.
Ren Qing was a little headache, no matter what their plans were, he was only for the Scripture of the Dead, and left after obtaining the content of the spell.
He was just about to rest for a while and then refine the Natal Golden Core.
But suddenly, Ren Qing noticed that there was still a memory in the Natal Golden Core. Daoist Lingxiao's memory had just finished being stripped.
The memory seemed weak and inconspicuous, but it was hidden the deepest.
He stared at the vague memory and realized that the Pill Dao Sect came to the Dead Man's Restricted Area, not because Daoist Lingxiao's brain was hot.
Daoist Lingxiao was probably a backup randomly arranged by a certain existence.
God knows what kind of content is contained in this memory, maybe someone also discovered the possibility of the Pill Dao Technique reincarnation.
Ren Qing used the simplest and most brutal method to cut off the part of the brain that stored the memory, and then, with the help of vitality, merged it into the Main Brain.
He didn't intend to obtain the memory. He directly used the interconnection of Dream City to bring it to the Longevity Restricted Area and buried it at the bottom of the Tree of Longevity.
