The Secret Way of Immortality

Since the world within my stomach advanced to the Immortal Ascension Ladder, zombie figures have rarely been seen in Wuwei City, with only dream projections appearing in Dream City.

Zombie cultivators migrated to the Underworld, even taking their resource industries with them.

The Corpse lineage's unique resource is a medicinal herb called White Bone Grass, which can only be planted in environments with Yin energy. It's used to dispel fire toxins and increase the body's resistance to cold.

They piled up the corpses of various beasts beside the Yellow Springs River, causing White Bone Grass to grow everywhere.

In this situation, the gloomy Underworld gained a bit of dim vitality, provided you ignored the coffins everywhere.

It really had a taste of the Netherworld, just without judges or King Yama.

Some of the zombie cultivators, under Ren Qing's instructions, began to expand the Underworld, laying stone roads and building stone bridges across the Yellow Springs.

To ensure the concentration of Yin energy in the Underworld, the area could only be increased by about 30%.

Coffins also couldn't be placed in the open air. Once the renovation of the cave dwellings was roughly completed, the planning of buildings such as Yama's Palace would begin.

Corresponding to the Underworld was the Heavenly Palace, but unfortunately, the Heavenly Palace was still not open. It was estimated that it would take several months for the transformation to be fully completed.

After Ren Qing stabilized the world within his stomach, he issued a task in the Imprisoned Corpses Hall, requiring the forging of large Taoist temple artifacts.

The Taoist temple would be used for the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld. Moon patterns would definitely focus on being sturdy and durable. As for the Strange Embryo artifact and the artifact spirit, they would be built after completion.

Ren Qing took some time to check on the progress of the Imprisoned Corpse. Little San'er had found a way to test the integration of the forbidden area into the stomach using external force.

He naturally affirmed it, but after the Imprisoned Corpse matters were completed, he had to let Little San'er enter seclusion as soon as possible to break through to the Yin Official realm.

Cultivation realm was related to the upper limit of lifespan. Ren Qing didn't want Little San'er to delay his cultivation due to artifact forging, and end up having to switch to zombie cultivation.

Zhou Wu, on the other hand, had reached the second Strange Transformation. After his relatives and friends passed away one after another, Little Wu focused wholeheartedly on cultivating the Poison Bone Skill.

Ren Qing opened his eyes and stretched his limbs in the cave dwelling.

The healing speed of the Heavenly Dao cracks on the surface of the tortoise shell had improved again. Next, the advancement of Heaven and Earth to the Heavenly Gu realm should be much faster than Corpse Fengdu.

Ren Qing still felt a sense of urgency. Who knew when the *******'s layout would unfold.

The overall situation was likely to involve the Turbid and Gu Immortals, which was his chance to attain immortality, but with his current strength, it was a bit difficult to intervene.

Ren Qing could glimpse the tip of the iceberg from the Mirror World. The number of imprisoned cultivators was constantly decreasing, with several escaping every few days.

It seemed that the Linggan Temple's line could be closed.

He narrowed his eyes and went to the Longevity Forbidden Area in the dry well again.

The Longevity Forbidden Area was still extremely calm, with no traces of living beings. Only a few scattered Meat Orchid Fruits swayed slowly in the breeze.

However, when Ren Qing revealed his aura, the fungus people roared like a tsunami. Patches of spores rose into the air, shimmering with a faint light.

Ren Qing closed his eyes and used Dragon's Roar from the Box, sensing the Linggan Temple tens of thousands of miles away.

Linggan Temple was a mobile mountain-shaped artifact, with the temple located at the top and farmland and houses all over the mountainside.

After Ren Qing had Linggan Temple reduce its population, the residences were already overcrowded, and new houses were beginning to be built near the foot of the mountain.

With their food reserves, maintaining the supply of the people for a short time was not a big problem.

But if there was no progress...

Ren Qing felt that the monks of Linggan Temple did not distinguish between good and evil. Once food was scarce, they would definitely kill each other.

Fortunately, Huang Ming's position was very stable, second only to the abbot, only because he had not fully obtained the approval of the Lion-Riding Buddha Qi, which caused undercurrents to surge in Linggan Temple.

The Buddha sons of all races coveted Huang Ming, wanting to replace him at all times.

Ren Qing observed through Huang Ming's perspective for a long time, secretly planning his next move.

He was determined to obtain the Lion-Riding fruit position. Whether it was extracting Song Zongwu's soul from the Buddha Qi or studying the difference between the Immortal position and the fruit position, he could not let go of the Lion-Riding Arhat.

But there were still many troubles. The state of the Lion-Riding Buddha Qi was really a bit delicate.

In addition to the Buddha Qi hidden in the box, each Buddha son also contained Yin Official realm Buddha Qi, which could easily affect the whole body.

Buddha Qi was like a centipede, colorless and invisible, and difficult to completely destroy.

Ren Qing had to think of a way to first collect the Lion-Riding Arhat, and then consider how to peel it off, or even dismantle the fruit position to study its structure.

"I have an idea..."

Ren Qing's expression became strange. He suddenly thought of a solution that wasn't really a solution, but might have a miraculous effect. It wouldn't hurt to try.

He took out a pill-shaped strange object from the world within his stomach, which was still constantly wriggling.

【Corpse Brain Art】

【Created by Ren Qing, cultivation requires pouring corpse fluid into the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose until the head is filled, then sealing the five senses. Success is achieved if one does not die for thirty-six days.】

Several months ago, Ren Qing had Killing Son condense a corpse pill for backup, and used Yin corpse fluid to help the latter make up for the deficit.

For ordinary zombies, the corpse pill was equivalent to the soul's lifeline, but Killing Son was composed of hundreds of zombies, so the importance of the corpse pill was greatly reduced, at most causing the body and soul to be listless.

The corpse pill was originally only at the Half-Corpse realm, and only reached the Ghost Official realm under the nourishment of Yin energy, which was more than enough to deal with the monks of Linggan Temple.

Ren Qing released his palm, and the Longevity Forbidden Area actively devoured the corpse pill.

The forbidden area soon changed, with piles of white bones emerging from the ground, like a forbidden area for the dead, but not as terrifying.

Fengshen Boqiang's grave was also buried by white bones. Under the cover of Yin energy, deliberately searching for it would undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Ren Qing looked towards the sea of clouds above his head, noting that there was almost no change except for some Yin energy.

Then, the core strange object of the Longevity Forbidden Area began to exert its influence.

Skeletons were pieced together from unintelligent white bones and wandered among the white bone hills, swarming towards any living being they saw.

The fungus people also derived skeletons, and the territory of each tribe spread towards the hills.

They made their homes in the hollow white bones, growing geometrically. Relying solely on Blood Orchid Fruits was not enough to support their reproduction.

Ren Qing felt a slight heartache, and then took out the strange object of the Jianmu Skill again.

You can't catch wolves without letting go of the children. Since he wanted to deal with the Lion-Riding Buddha Qi, it was obviously unrealistic to not pay any price.

Fortunately, after the world within his stomach reached the Immortal Ascension Ladder, the speed of strange object cultivation had increased a lot, and the flow of time was also close to five times.

Although there were not many Ghost Official realm strange objects, a batch could be bred every few years.

The vine of the Jianmu Skill integrated into the Longevity Forbidden Area, and blood vessel-like vines grew from the ground, soon covering the ground.

There were also vines in the sea of clouds, but at Ren Qing's instruction, they were uprooted by the fungus people.

Don't look down on the fungus people, but they actually represent the Six Afflictions Art and the Rebirth Art, and are naturally protected by the Longevity Forbidden Area.

Ren Qing relied on the fungus people to barely control the direction of the forbidden area's transformation.

Then came the last strange object. He chose the Half-Corpse realm's Golden Essence Art.

【Golden Essence Art】

【Created by the strongman A Ming, cultivation requires the internal organs to be corroded by metal, and swallowing a grain of gold stone every three days. Success is achieved if one does not die for thirty days.】

The earth veins vibrated, and a gold mine composed of gold spanned the Longevity Forbidden Area. The estimated output could reach hundreds of tons, and it could continue to recover.

The strange object's mutation route, "Golden Body", manifested as bones and flesh being mutated into gold, indirectly increasing the mine's recovery speed.

There were also Golden Essence Art jailers in the world within his stomach, resulting in a flood of gold. Gold was mostly used for decoration by the cultivators in the Imprisoned Corpses Hall.

Ren Qing's mind moved slightly, and the ghost shadow turned into a giant hand and stretched into the mine.

He directly extracted the entire mine, as if carrying a golden dragon, causing the fungus people tribe to kneel neatly towards the sky, shouting the name of the Immortal.

Ren Qing sat cross-legged in the clouds and began to refine using gold as a material.

Bricks took shape one by one. The moon patterns he drew only had the effect of confinement and firmness, which could be considered the most crude refinement.

The ghost shadow split into countless tentacles, grabbing the bricks and embedding them into the ground with adhesive materials, extending infinitely outward with Ren Qing as the center.

In a few days, the entire sea of clouds was covered with golden bricks.

Ren Qing did not stop refining bricks. Next was a magnificent and majestic Buddha hall, completely refined according to the specifications of a thousand-meter body.

Just the gate alone felt oppressive.

Ren Qing also made a plaque and hung it on the Buddha hall, naming it "Thunder Sound Temple", and after thinking about it, changed it to "Small Thunder Sound Temple".

The Buddha hall was still a bit empty. The remaining space was enough to accommodate thousands of statues, so he refined them according to the models of the cultivators in the Imprisoned Corpses Hall.

The Buddha statues took shape one after another, their appearance like angry Vajras.

With a wave of Ren Qing's hand, Dragon's Roar from the Box caused the Buddha statues to move, and then they stood up from the lotus throne as if they had come to life.

Toe Separation Art was used to instill false memories, and the Buddha statues suddenly became full of compassion, emitting the sound of scriptures mixed with metallic sounds.

Combined with the powder of ground Buddha bones, they would naturally emit a faint Buddha Qi, and there was no flaw in their appearance.

Seeing that the counterfeit Western Paradise had taken shape for the most part, Ren Qing used Toe Separation Art to contact Huang Ming tens of thousands of miles away.

Huang Ming was sitting cross-legged in front of the statue of the Lion-Riding Arhat, beating a wooden fish. Monks guarded him around the clock, twelve hours a day.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart.

If the Immortal Buddha in his dream didn't contact him again, he was afraid that he would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the monks of Linggan Temple in a few years.

"Huang Ming, I'll give you a location. Bring Linggan Temple here..."

Huang Ming was stunned for a few breaths, and then his face showed joy. At the same time, the dream flower in his Niwan Palace exploded with pure Buddha Qi, setting off a radiant glow.

The old monk with withered flesh opened his eyes and looked at Huang Ming with a fiery gaze.

"What's wrong, Huizhen?"

"Abbot Liaoshan, the Buddha told us to go to a place..."

Huang Ming remained calm, with a rich Buddha Qi flowing around him. Other monks who wanted to approach would be blocked.

Liaoshan remained unmoved until he heard Huang Ming's words, and then his face changed drastically.

"The Buddha said that there is a remnant of the Buddha's soul that must be obtained as soon as possible, otherwise the fruit position will be difficult to inherit."

As Huang Ming spoke half-truths, Ren Qing secretly used Toe Separation Art to influence the cognition of the monks, and naturally there was not even half a question.

"Amitabha, since it is what the Buddha said, let's set off."

Liaoshan obviously knew about Song Zongwu, so he didn't hesitate any longer. Under the infusion of Buddha Qi, the entire Linggan Temple slowly floated.

There's one more chapter, wait a moment.
