The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing had not experienced such a long and peaceful retreat for a long time. Not only was the Jailer Hall growing vigorously, but he himself was also absorbing all kinds of nutrients.

The commotion in Jing Prefecture intensified, while Xiangxiang, on the contrary, regained its former vitality.

Vegetation covered the official road that once led to the town. In just a few decades, the traces of human life could no longer be seen.

The area of the water marshes was shrinking, while the endless forests in the south were expanding.

Back and forth, Xiangxiang seemed to be moving its position, gradually approaching Jing Prefecture, and it would not be long before everything changed beyond recognition.

Ren Qing did not intervene, after all, if he were to become an immortal, even reshaping the environment of a place would be easy.

He focused his energy on the retreat, and unknowingly, ten years had passed since he returned to Xiangxiang.

For Ren Qing, it was like experiencing a long and tedious dream, and even a hundred years would not have any impact.

He opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in the dim cave.

The cracks on the surface of the tortoise shell had finally healed almost completely, enough to bear the 20,000 years of lifespan required for the Heaven and Earth Life to advance to the Heavenly Gu Realm.

The weakness brought about by the fading of the Heavenly Dao Transformation made Ren Qing feel slightly unaccustomed.

Ordinary Gu Immortals, without as many Immortal positions as Ren Qing, would be like being terminally ill, unable to fight against the Turbid Immortals at all.

Ren Qing then patiently meditated for several days until his condition was flawless before summoning the information stream of Heaven and Earth Life.

【Do you want to advance to the Heavenly Gu Realm, which will consume 20,000 years of lifespan】

He had high expectations for the advancement of the world in his stomach to the Heavenly Gu Realm, after all, the Immortal position "Zhenyuan Earth Ancestor" had not yet been fully revealed.

With only the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld, it always felt like the world in his stomach was still a semi-finished product.

In Ren Qing's view, the potential of the Heaven and Earth Life Immortal Ascension Method should be far beyond imagination, and it could even be used as a foundation for establishing oneself after becoming an immortal.

He took a deep breath, and the cracks of the Heavenly Dao on the surface of the tortoise shell began to spread.

The consumption of 20,000 years of lifespan still exceeded two-fifths of Ren Qing's current upper limit, and the Heavenly Dao Transformation was still very serious.

The world in his stomach was calm, but the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld suddenly changed.

The Heavenly Palace had grown limitedly in the past few decades, with a total area of only twelve or thirteen miles, but under the stimulation of the Heavenly Gu Realm, it was expanding rapidly.

A blood moon appeared in the sky above the Jailer Palace, and then countless strange creatures were born, including hundred-meter-tall elephant-headed men, opossums with human hands and feet, and wolfhounds with bone exoskeletons…

The strange creatures looked ferocious, but their flesh and bones were excellent resources for cultivating the Jailer Method.

The spiritual veins of the Heavenly Dao Palace merged with each other, and it could be vaguely seen that the raised hills resembled the shape of the Heavenly Dao Worm, constantly wandering.

The density of Youyuan was so high that even Taihan Zhenren was amazed.

The Underworld sank accordingly, and a strong Yin Qi gushed out.

The Yellow Spring River was like a giant dragon, twisting its body deep in the earth's veins. It used to be just a river at most, but now it had reached the size of a large river.

The surging spring water hit the shore, and the splashing waves brought out a large number of wandering souls.

The Corpse Vein hurriedly rescued the affected resource points, and it could be seen that there were wandering souls mixed in, but their realm was generally only at the Half-Corpse Realm.

The wandering souls had already tried to cultivate the Water Marsh Method, and their appearance became gloomy and terrifying.

The characteristics of the Three Flowers Gathering on the Top and the Five Qi Revolving towards the Origin were passable when placed on a Ze Immortal with an ethereal temperament, but the wandering souls became another extreme, and the style of painting appeared very terrifying.

Because it was more convenient to travel back and forth, the wandering souls also played the role of Black and White Impermanence, responsible for receiving and guiding the souls of the dying mortal world.

In the past fifty years, countless people had died in the world in his stomach, and the Underworld was already overcrowded.

Now that the Heaven and Earth Life had reached the Heavenly Gu Realm, the Underworld was evolving towards three levels, and the lower the level of the Underworld, the more suitable it was for cultivation.

Ren Qing felt the transformation of the world in his stomach, and the sense of unfamiliarity with the strange creatures was gradually disappearing, as if they had been transformed back into organs in his body.

His consciousness unconsciously came to the world in his stomach.

The Wuwu City, located in the center of the mortal world, was inhabited by at least 1.5 million people, and their way of life had returned to the original Three Xiang City.

The rest of the population was distributed in the world in his stomach. There were thirteen towns under the jurisdiction of the Jailer Hall alone, and countless villages.

The alien races were also developing well, and the demons had already established their own towns.

The Cocoon People gathered next to the volcano, burning their skin with the scorching high temperature, and the leader, Sen Sheng, was approaching the completion of the Ghost Envoy Realm.

Ren Qing's consciousness came to the vast sea of wine, and the richness of the species in the sea was already comparable to the Pacific Ocean in his previous life.

The Merfolk had settled among the coral reefs, but the various tribes still had conflicts.

They liked to wear ornaments made of large shells, and from the carved patterns, it could be seen that the Kunpeng had become a totem.

Ren Qing's consciousness spread, covering every corner of the world in his stomach.

He saw Song Zongwu cleaning the temple in the sky, Li Tiangang handling affairs, Huang Ziwan, who was overjoyed at breaking through the Yin-Yang Realm, Bai Guniang, who was already preparing to advance to the Yang God Realm, and Li Yaoyang, who was studying the ratio of Gu worms…

Ren Qing couldn't help but feel emotional, the world in his stomach had completely become a part of himself.

The Heavenly Gu Realm had been achieved.

………

【Heaven and Earth Life (Mutual Destruction)】

【Immortal Body: Unity of All Phenomena (Pseudo)】

【Supernatural Power: Law of Heaven and Earth】

【Immortal Position: Zhenyuan Earth Ancestor (Pseudo)】

………

Just as he was about to check the Heaven and Earth Life, the consciousness suspended in mid-air suddenly took root and sprouted.

A large number of colorless and invisible roots became thicker and stronger over time, piercing straight into the ground, and soon spread throughout the world in his stomach.

Then the buds of consciousness sprouted, the trunk rushed into the sky, the clouds turned into leaves, and the Heavenly Palace was more like a bird's nest among the branches.

Even the Plague Dream Tree in the Niwan Palace was intertwined with it.

Except for Ren Qing, no one could notice the anomalies in the world in his stomach.

Ren Qing looked at the giant tree and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect… the Heavenly Dao in the world in my stomach is actually in the shape of a tree."

He was speechless, as Zhen Yuanzi, how could he not have a ginseng fruit tree?

The Heavenly Dao was derived after the strange object "Myriad Phenomena World" was integrated into Ren Qing's body, and was equivalent to a doppelganger.

Ren Qing closed his eyes and digested the information brought by the Myriad Phenomena World, and was immediately filled with surprise.

As the Heavenly Dao, the Myriad Phenomena World contained "Immortal Positions" similar to immortal positions, although they were very limited, but the Heaven and Earth Life had only just reached the Heavenly Gu Realm.

The essence of the immortal position was different from the immortal position, and it could not allow the Heavenly Gu Realm to break through to the Earth Immortal.

It was considered the Heavenly Dao's recognition of the creatures in the world in his stomach, and could give the creatures granted the immortal position a certain blessing.

The blessing was mainly the state of cultivation, including the comprehension of clear thoughts, the state of mind that was not easy to go crazy, and the body and soul that were difficult to be injured by strange objects.

When performing spells, he could also get the approval of the Heavenly Dao, and the power would be at least 30% higher.

The immortal positions themselves were also different, and the position represented the degree of blessing of the Heavenly Dao. There were currently three types.

They were the "Ghost Immortal Position" of the Yin God transcending after death, the "Human Immortal Position" of being free from the harm of plague and evil, and the "Earth Immortal Position" of not dying in the human world.

After obtaining the immortal position, the cultivator was actually equivalent to an immortal, but only when he was in the world in his stomach, and it would be useless outside.

Ren Qing did not feel sorry, and his breathing became rapid.

The Heaven and Earth Life in the Heavenly Gu Realm could not bestow many immortal positions, only one Earth Immortal, four Human Immortals, and twelve Ghost Immortals.

Among them, the Earth Immortal position could be reincarnated with the help of the Heavenly Dao after death in the world in his stomach, born from the belly of a wise creature, and as the cultivation deepened, the memories of the previous life would be gradually recovered.

Ren Qing, as the Heavenly Dao itself, could naturally affect all owners of the immortal position.

Even if the immortal position was outside, he could also sense the specific location, and even use the immortal position to cast spells from thousands of miles away.

Ren Qing could strip the immortal position at any time, and could also lower or raise the immortal position.

He did not consider the distribution of the immortal position quotas, but returned his consciousness to the main body, and could not wait to come to the Longevity Forbidden Zone.

Ren Qing's goal was not the Deer-riding Fruit Position of Little Leiyin Temple.

He stood in front of the grave covered with white bones, his expression full of intriguing.

A gust of Yin wind blew, and Ren Qing had disappeared in place. When he reappeared, he was facing Fengshen Boqiang, who was still constantly distorted and mutated.

He stared at the immortal position for a long time, and then stepped within ten meters.

Ren Qing ignored the brain-eroding strange wind, reached out and touched Boqiang's body, and suddenly felt an indescribable Heavenly Dao Transformation eroding his body and soul.

A semi-transparent fruit core appeared in his outstretched palm.

Ren Qing tried to integrate the Ghost Immortal position into Fengshen Boqiang's immortal position, and felt a certain resistance, but it was not obvious.

He showed joy, and then changed to the Human Immortal position, and the resistance of the immortal position became weaker.

The moment the two merged, Ren Qing sensed the existence of Fengshen Boqiang's immortal position, but there was a gap in realm, and he could not exert influence.

But as the Heaven and Earth Life set foot on the Earth Immortal, the role of the immortal position would become more and more obvious.

Ren Qing left the Longevity Forbidden Zone, stood on the top of the mountain and stared straight at Jing Prefecture. The Fude Earth Immortal had become a Turbid Immortal was a certainty.

If he advanced to the Earth Immortal, I am afraid that a similar situation would occur.

Ren Qing did not want to encounter an invincible danger after becoming an immortal, after all, this world was so big, like a cage that could not be escaped.

When the curtain was pulled open, there would inevitably be many forces, either actively or passively, participating in the competition for the immortal position.

The Heavenly Gu Realm dared not covet the immortal position because they were afraid of attracting the attention of the Turbid Immortals.

Just like the Fude Earth Immortal, who was also a Gu Immortal, he transformed into a leyline and hid in Jing Prefecture for thousands of years, but he still ended up with a Heavenly Dao Transformation.

Ren Qing knew very well that the inferiority of human nature included the "conformity psychology", so if several people were preparing to become immortals at the same time, the risk of facing the Turbid Immortals would undoubtedly be lowered.

How could the Heavenly Gu Realm hidden in the dark not be crazy?

Who wouldn't want to become an immortal?

Even if breaking through to the Earth Immortal by devouring the immortal position would have certain drawbacks.

Ren Qing had already foreseen the arrival of the general trend, and of course he could try to stop it, but it would be disadvantageous to him.

He needed like-minded people.

To be precise, he needed to attract martyrs of the Heavenly Dao.

Ren Qing had been struggling with whether to stay out of the general trend or become a chess player in the game.

After the Heaven and Earth Life advanced to the Heavenly Gu Realm, the trouble had been solved without attacking.

With the ability to arrange dark hands in the immortal position, what Ren Qing had to do was to fuel the flames and let the general trend sweep this world.

It may last for thousands of years, but Ren Qing had already made a move.

This game is called… the Battle of Sealing Immortals.
