Chapter 90 – The true secret of immortality

Xu Ying returned to the Wumang Mountain with the "Niwang Hidden Scenery Longevity Technique". He entered the place of ascension and practiced while quietly studying this technique that led Zhou Qiyun to glory and death.

This technique uses the power of the Mud Pill Secret Treasure to cultivate the chaotic Qi in the Chaotic Sea, making it a unique Qi cultivation method.

However, the activation of the Mud Pill is integrated into the physical body and soul, allowing the physical body to reach the level of an immortal and the soul to reach the level of an immortal. It is truly eye-opening.

The most obvious flaw left by the owner of the Mud Pill in the technique is in the immortal soul.

The soul integrated with the active Mud Pill is incredibly powerful, but it is all show and no substance.

Moreover, the soul is filled with so much activity that it looks like it has been fattened up like a chubby piglet. Who would want to eat something so fat?

"Almost all male masters have weak souls."

Xu Ying pondered, "They are fine when facing ordinary opponents, but when facing the ghosts and gods of the underworld, they are often helpless. Many powerful experts cannot even withstand a single whip from the White Bone Whip of the Niu Family Brothers. After Zhou Qiyun discovered this trap, he immediately turned to other directions and tried to make his soul incredibly powerful."

Xu Ying flipped through Zhou Qiyun's notes, which contained his insights on soul cultivation.

Among them were his insights on cultivating the soul.

He only became an immortal after Xu Ying passed on the "Tuoyu Immortal Book" and the "Jiuxiao Yangshen Xuantan Gong" to him. Before that, he found some fragments of Qi cultivation techniques and, based on his understanding of these fragments, he was able to cultivate his soul to a level comparable to an immortal!

"To be able to cultivate to such a level with half-truths and half-lies in the fragments is truly remarkable." Xu Ying couldn't help but shake his head.

In Zhou Qiyun's insights, the most outstanding aspect was his integration of the Mud Pill Secret Treasure and the Qi cultivation system.

Both the "Tuoyu Immortal Book" and the "Jiuxiao Yangshen Xuantan Gong" were Qi cultivation techniques from ancient times, representing the highest understanding of Qi cultivation. It was difficult to integrate these two techniques, let alone add another cultivation system outside of these two techniques.

The method Zhou Qiyun used was not as Xu Ying speculated, with the "Tanfa" as the foundation and the Qi cultivation techniques as support. Instead, he reversed it, using the Qi cultivation techniques as the foundation and the "Tanfa" as support.

As a male immortal, doing so was to subvert and deny his achievements in the first half of his life. It was particularly rare and required great wisdom and courage.

"His Majesty the Holy God opened the "Jianggong" and "Yujing" Secret Treasures, and the conflicting powers of these two secret treasures left His Majesty the Holy God with no solution. I also mocked him for taking the wrong path. But is this path really wrong?"

Zhou Qiyun wrote in his insights, "No. Everyone thinks that the six secrets of the human body conflict with each other and that practicing both will lead to death. However, that is because the techniques do not have a mainline to unify the six secrets. If the Empty Silence Domain can be the mainline to unify the various realms, then the six secrets will be like fruits on the mainline, without any disturbance or invasion."

After reading Zhou Qiyun's insights, Xu Ying closed the books heavily, pondered for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Qi Ye, Qi Ye!"

Qi was practicing breathing and cultivation in the place of ascension. Upon hearing this, he quickly swam over and asked, "Ah Ying, what's the matter?"

Xu Ying said, "Put away these books. These books are treasures and must not be lost."

Qi opened his mouth and swallowed the books.

His neck was all stomach, and his body was as long as his stomach. He could even stretch it longer, so Xu Ying couldn't carry some things with him and stored them in Qi's stomach.

Qi had long refined his intestines and stomach into a magic treasure to store precious things.

Xu Ying said to Qi, "Zhou Qiyun said that Qi cultivation is like a tree, and the six secrets of the human body are like the six fruits on the tree. Only in this way can the six secrets not conflict with each other. This description is incorrect. The six secrets of the human body are equivalent to the six power sources of a Qi cultivator, nourishing the Qi cultivation tree. That is the correct way!"

Qi couldn't understand, his eyes widened, and he nervously said, "Then, what's the difference?"

Xu Ying looked at his eyes seriously and said, "The difference is that Zhou Qiyun uses Qi cultivation as nourishment to nourish the six secrets of the human body and strengthen the power of the secret treasures. But my method is to use the six secrets of the human body as nourishment to strengthen Qi cultivation."

Qi understood a little, but not completely. He followed Xu Ying's words and asked, "So, how do we achieve this?"

"Qi Ye is clever!"

Xu Ying clapped his hands and praised loudly, excitedly pacing back and forth, saying, "Zhou Qiyun solved the problem of connecting his technique with Qi cultivation, but because he is a Tan Immortal, he was still influenced by his limited perspective, affecting his judgment! I will take the first half of the "Niwang Hidden Scenery Longevity Technique" and connect it with my Taiyi Guiding Technique!"

Qi, being praised for his cleverness, became even more nervous, trembling as he asked, "Ah Ying, how do you connect them?"

"Connecting two different cultivation systems sounds incredibly complicated, doesn't it?"

Xu Ying laughed heartily, "But as long as we treat the chaotic Qi gathered from the Mud Pill Secret Treasure in the Mud Pill Domain as the sun's essence gathered during our cultivation, as the essence of heaven and earth, then there is no need to worry about how to connect them, right? Qi Ye, isn't that right?"

Qi listened with his eyes wide open, but his mind seemed to have gone somewhere else.The big snake stretched out its tail and rubbed Xu Ying's head, smiling with satisfaction, encouraging him, "Ah Ying, since you have found a solution, go and do it bravely!"

"Mm!"

Xu Ying nodded heavily and tried to unify the Niman Secret Realm.

When Niu Zhen and Niu Gan saw this, they were extremely impressed and admired, and Niu Gan said, "Our teacher is a great scholar. Even such a knowledgeable person needs to seek advice from Qi Ye when encountering difficult matters."

Niu Zhen sighed, "Qi Ye is unfathomable."

In Qi's mind, he muttered to himself, "I'm just following Ah Ying's train of thought and saying a few polite words. Ah Ying wouldn't really cultivate in this way, would he? What if there are problems in cultivation?"

He blinked his eyes, "It seems to be Ah Ying's own problem. He is so smart, he can naturally solve it. By the way, should I also open my own Niman Secret Realm?"

He felt excited. Since Qin Yan Cave searched for the Niman Secret Realm and was attacked by a great creature underground, he had not thought about how to open his own Niman Secret Realm.

But now, Xu Ying was about to solve the unification of the Secret Realm and Qi cultivation, and he couldn't help but become active in his thinking, thinking to himself, "My demon clan also has six secrets in the human body, so naturally, I can also unify Qi cultivation and the Secret Realm. Now is a great opportunity for the revival of my demon clan!"

He was full of enthusiasm and immediately mobilized his divine consciousness, entering the realm of Empty Silence. His divine consciousness went all the way up and arrived at the chaotic sea in his brain in just a moment, finding his own chaotic mud pill.

Qi was dumbfounded. He saw a big clock floating next to his chaotic mud pill, floating up and down.

"When did you come, you despicable clock?"

Qi was furious and rushed forward, his divine consciousness fighting with the big clock, shouting, "I said I felt like I was being drained these days. It turns out it was you! You stole my vitality!"

"You're accusing me wrongly! I only take a few sips each time, not more than twenty percent!"

"You sucked Xu Ying and now you're sucking me! Despicable clock, do you plan to carry two grandfathers with you?"

"Big brother, don't mention second brother. Aren't you also carrying grandfathers with you, holding onto Xu Ying and gnawing on him all the time?"

Da Zhong was knocked out of Qi's mind. The big snake was relentless and coiled up Da Zhong's body, hammering it down to the ground, making a loud noise.

He had already awakened the ancient bloodline and cultivated the Ba Snake True Cultivation and Dragon Snake Awakening techniques. He already had the appearance of the Great Dao, and his strength was extremely powerful!

Even Da Zhong, who was being hammered, felt a bit painful. He couldn't bear it anymore and roared, growing bigger and pressing down on Qi's head, hammering it down to the ground, making a loud noise with each strike!

Niu Zhen and Niu Gan, the two brothers, trembled in the corner of the Ascension Land.

"Will Qi Ye be killed?" Niu Gan glanced at his brother, and they understood each other's thoughts. "Why doesn't the teacher stop it?"

"Clock Lord, spare his life!" Qi, who was bumped and covered in bruises, shouted loudly.

"Qi Ye is broad-minded!" The two brothers sighed with relief and praised in unison.

The snake and the clock soon made up.

Qi asked Da Zhong for advice on how to open the Niman Secret Realm, and Da Zhong was generous in sharing, saying, "There are two ways to open the Secret Realm. One is to ask an expert to help you open it, but this has hidden dangers as your Secret Realm can easily be controlled by others. The second is to gather the power of the Dao and transform it into a divine ability to blast open the Secret Realm and open the Daoist Paradise."

He explained the process of Xu Ying opening the Secret Realm, and Qi immediately wanted to try it, saying, "I have cultivated the Dragon Snake Dao and I have the appearance of the Great Dao. I can open the Secret Realm on my own!"

Da Zhong said, "With your awakening of the ancient bloodline, you don't need to cultivate any Qi cultivation techniques or methods. You just need to continuously develop the power of your bloodline, constantly improve its purity, and exert the strengths of your race. Then you can grow into an unparalleled ancient divine creature! Why bother with so much effort?"

Qi laughed, "What's the difference between that and living a mediocre life? Can't I have some aspirations? Clock Lord, have you ever seen an ancient creature that can fly on a sword?"

Da Zhong shook his head and praised, "Originally, I didn't think highly of you, but I didn't expect you to really cultivate the Sword Control Technique. Alright, since Xu Ying is thinking about how to unify the two cultivation systems, I can't help you. I will protect you and help you open the Niman Secret Realm! In the future, you, Niu Qi, will be the great master of the demon clan!"

Qi's blood boiled when he heard these words. He wished he could twist his tongue into eighteen bends and shout out to express his feelings. But suddenly he thought, "If I really become a great master of the demon clan who will go down in history, in the past and future, when the monsters hear my name, they will give a thumbs up and praise the greatness of the Niu demon clan's ancestor. Wouldn't that make me angry?"

He couldn't help but hesitate. Should he change his surname while he hasn't yet gone down in history?

Da Zhong urged him, and Qi put this matter aside for now. They were both daring and fearless. Without Xu Ying's guidance, they began to forcefully open the Niman Secret Realm.

Xu Ying organized the operation method of the Taiyi Guiding Technique, and then sorted out the cultivation method of the Hidden Scene Longevity Technique, cutting off the part related to the Daoist Paradise. He merged the two techniques into one, repeatedly deducing it several times to confirm that there were no major errors before attempting to operate the technique.

When Xu Ying activated the Taiyi Guiding Technique, the Heavenly River surged in his body, washing over mountains and rivers. Faint thunder resounded within his body, and the Great Sun rotated.Suddenly, the spiritual energy from the Ascension Land outside the world poured in, nourishing Xu Ying's body and soul. The longevity energy from the Mud Pill Cave also mixed with the spiritual energy, permeating every part of his body, from the organs to the bones, and even the three souls and seven spirits, all being thoroughly nourished!

"So this is the true Longevity Technique!"

Xu Ying sighed in his heart, tears streaming down his face. He whispered, "If Senior Zhou had realized this, he wouldn't have to rush to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, and wouldn't have been taken advantage of by the owner of the Mud Pill Palace."

As his body and soul continued to improve, the longevity energy was refined into his body and soul. He felt that the five elements were harmonized, yin and yang were balanced, life and death were clear, and his lifespan was constantly increasing. At this moment, Da Zhong's voice came with a cry, "Ah Ying! Ah Ying! Seventh Master is in trouble!"

Xu Ying hurriedly stopped, and Da Zhong's voice echoed in his mind, shouting, "Seventh Master opened the Mud Pill, but the power and accuracy of the summoning technique were insufficient. The Cave Heaven is only half open and has a tendency to collapse. I am helping him suppress the counterattack of the chaotic energy!"

Xu Ying quickly pointed his finger at his own brow, his soul leaving his body and flying into the back of the giant snake, entering the mind of the Seventh Master.

Inside, chaos reigned, with turbulent waves in the Chaos Sea and chaotic energy floating like clouds above the sea surface.

A Cave Heaven stretched like a dragon, inserted into the Chaos Sea, constantly fluctuating and unable to stabilize.

This was the Cave Heaven that the Seventh Master forcibly opened!

This Cave Heaven was much smaller than a normal Mud Pill Cave Heaven.

This Cave Heaven could be assimilated by chaos at any time and couldn't stabilize. If the Cave Heaven was assimilated and the Mud Pill was destroyed, even the lightest result would be chaos in the brain, turning into an idiot!

In severe cases, the head might even disappear!

Xu Ying calmed down and observed his surroundings. He saw Da Zhong suppressing the abnormality of the Cave Heaven, resisting the chaos of the sea, to prevent the Cave Heaven from being assimilated.

However, even though he was an extremely powerful treasure, he could only resist the power of the Chaos Sea for a limited time. It was feared that before long, it would be destroyed by the Chaos Sea!

Beside Da Zhong, there was still half of a chaotic Mud Pill on the Chaos Sea. It seemed that the power of the Seventh Master's summoning technique was insufficient, only opening half of the chaotic Mud Pill, resulting in this consequence.

"Seventh Master! Listen to me and gather your divine consciousness!"

Xu Ying shouted loudly, "I will assist you in opening the remaining half of the Mud Pill!"

Because the opening of the Mud Pill was unsuccessful, the Seventh Master's divine consciousness had scattered, and he was in a daze, unable to hear Xu Ying's words clearly. Xu Ying frowned, made a decisive decision, and his soul flew out, returning to his physical body.

He mobilized all his vitality and shouted, "Invoke!"

The Seventh Master rose into the air, and Xu Ying used his immense power to forcefully summon the giant snake, floating in mid-air!

Xu Ying activated the Eight Sounds of Yuan Yu, and the sound of the Dao resonated within his body. The sound of the Dao within the Seventh Master's body also resonated, involuntarily following Xu Ying to display the Eight Sounds of Yuan Yu!

Xu Ying activated the Dragon-Snake Shocking Hibernation Technique, and the Seventh Master's body also activated the Dragon-Snake Shocking Hibernation Technique!

Xu Ying pointed his finger at the giant snake's brow, and the Seventh Master's tail also pointed at his own brow!

One person and one snake, their divine abilities surged, coming from outside the Chaos Sea. The Dragon-Snake combination focused their power on the half of the chaotic Mud Pill!

Boom!

A violent shock came, and the second Cave Heaven opened with a bang, like a giant snake stirring up the Chaos Sea, inserting itself into the sea, causing a commotion!

This Cave Heaven quickly resonated and entangled with the first Cave Heaven, merging into one, becoming a Cave Heaven that resembled a dragon and a snake entwined, constantly drawing in the longevity energy from the Chaos Sea!

Da Zhong was dumbfounded, "The foolish snake has gained a blessing in disguise."
