Ren Qing couldn't help but feel numb. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of indescribable thing the Buddha would become after being assimilated by the supreme demon.
You must know that Dingguang Buddha has transcended the limitations of earthly immortals, let alone the supreme demons who are part of the moral deities.
Ren Qing was originally lucky that Dingguang Buddha was not a complete Tathagata, so he could easily arrange backup plans in Jingzhou.
The difference can be seen from the difference between Dingguang Buddha and Baosheng Buddha.
Baosheng Buddha has a physical body, and can clearly feel the overwhelming momentum of the earthly immortal, allowing Ren Qing to use No Life for the Dead without hesitation.
But Dingguang Buddha has no physical body at all. Although it is not comparable to the Earthly Immortal, it is still close.
The reason may lie in the Ancient Maitreya Buddha. Who knows what the Ancient Maitreya Buddha did to control Dingguang Buddha?
But now...
Ren Qing swallowed his saliva. He seemed to have attracted the Supreme Demon by mistake, causing Dingguang Buddha to be corroded by the Demon's breath. In the end, he was "seized" by the Supreme Demon.
He couldn't help but let a large number of fungus souls descend on the outskirts of the endless forest.
Ren Qing looked at the position of Dingguang Buddha. The latter did not have any demonic aura on its surface, but still had the extremely rich Buddhist aura.
But the appearance of the black goat with its legs crossed and a smile is extremely scary no matter how you look at it.
The Corpse Immortal is still reliable, at least he can come and go as soon as he is summoned, and he will never cause trouble or let the situation get out of control.
Next time, don't mess around with the devil's aura at will. The Corpse Immortal can summon it a few more times.
"What..."
Ren Qing covered his head. The deafening cry of Dingguang Buddha gave him a headache, and then Black Goat spoke in a weird accent.
"When you are first born, all directions are bright, and the sun, moon, and fire beads are no longer useful."
"Because of its peculiarity, it is called Universal Light."
The size of Dingguang Buddha covered the sky and the sun, and soon exceeded the scope of 10,000 meters, and its expression became more and more meaningful.
"All believers, please call me Dingguang, and you will be able to resolve all the troubles in the world. After ninety-one kalpas, you will become a Buddha..."
"No. Sakyamuni Tathagata."
The Buddha's light filled the air, and the rabbits and toads on the ground in Jingzhou knelt down in tears and couldn't help but sing praises to the Tathagata Dingguang.
Their bodies became shriveled, their souls began to dry up, and even their cultivation levels were decreasing, except for a faint glow all over their bodies.
"Great goodness, I won the favor of the gods and demons, so I established a path here, called the Buddha Realm of the Eight Directions."
Dingguang Buddha stood on the clouds, smiled and pointed his finger: "Everywhere the Buddha's light shines is my Dingguang Buddha Land, and believers can live forever here."
The sun above his head disappeared in an instant, and the boundless darkness centered on him and continued to spread towards the entire Jingzhou.
Ren Qing stared at the darkness for a moment and found that the vegetation, mountains and rocks were instantly swallowed up, as if it were a black hole in the universe, leaving no trace.
Even the figure of Dingguang Buddha was hidden in the deep and boundless darkness.
"No, something is going to happen."
At the moment when Dingguang Buddha disappeared, Ren Qing saw that the sheep's face full of compassion was filled with murderous demonic nature.
The Buddha's aura gushing out of Dingguang Buddha's five senses against the backdrop of darkness is simply the aura of a demon.
The cry of sheep came from the darkness. It was obvious that Dingguang Buddha really regarded Jingzhou as his Buddhist realm and wanted to become a Buddha here.
Hundreds of thousands of Tiandao Insects had no time to evacuate Jingzhou, and they roared in despair, their figures disappearing in the darkness.
The insect nest mistress fled in embarrassment, but immediately followed in the footsteps of the Tiandao insect people.
They originally thought that the fisherman would benefit, but things turned out unexpectedly. Dingguang Buddha turned into a demon.
Ren Qing did not expect that Dingguang Buddha would be so vulnerable in front of the supreme demon.
Even the wild animals and birds in the surrounding areas of Jingzhou rushed towards the opposite direction of Dingguang Buddha and did not dare to stay any longer.
The scene was so vast that Ren Qing, who was tens of thousands of miles away, had the illusion that the world here was about to be destroyed, making his heart beat wildly.
And after darkness covers Jingzhou, it still has no intention of stopping.
Bang bang bang...
Cishi's ground was shaken, and several monks in the jailer's hall were dumbfounded.
I saw the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva rising from the ground, the aura of the earthly immortal being exposed, and the terrifying light of the Buddha spreading overwhelmingly across the sky.
The Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva put his hands together, and out of thin air a hurricane blew up in Cishi.
Tens of thousands of monks knelt on the ground devoutly. Wherever the Buddha's aura passed, their bodies and souls collapsed and disappeared into ashes.
The Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva collected hundreds of thousands of monks and walked towards the north, obviously very afraid of the Black Goat Buddha.
Not only is Jingzhou at risk, who knows what the appetite of Dingguang Buddha is?
Ren Qinggang thought about passing on the news that Li Tiangang had used magic to try to contact all the monks around Jingzhou.
"The monks of the Jailer's Hall listened to the order and used the Immortal Key to evacuate Jingzhou as soon as possible."
"ASAP!!!"
Unfortunately, it was obviously too late. The speed of darkness expansion was too exaggerated, covering most of Shuize and Ci's territory in just a few breaths.
The Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva used Buddha energy to resist the darkness, and managed to escape from the influence of Dingguang Buddha, and finally escaped smoothly.
Even if the other monks mastered techniques known for their speed, it would be impossible for them to do so in time.
Han Li cursed a few times. He had just arrived at the Ci clan not long ago, and he wanted to complete the mission and collect some resources to break through to the Yangshen realm.
After all, the retreat to the Yangshen realm may last for decades.
His current blood crystals are considered wealthy even in the same realm, but there is no guarantee that he will be able to successfully advance to the Yangshen Realm within twenty years. He will need to prepare resources for at least fifty years.
The task Han Li chose was to smuggle people from Cishi. As long as they were careful enough, there should be no danger.
result……
Han Li watched helplessly as darkness enveloped the Ci family, and he fell into a silence where he couldn't even see his fingers. Even his voice was gone.
He couldn't help but worry about the Taoist disciples who were traveling with him. Most of the Taoist disciples were only in the realm of ghost envoys, and they might have a narrow escape from death.
Han Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, but when he made a slight movement, he instinctively felt a chill on his face.
He couldn't tell what was in the darkness, but something seemed to be crawling towards him.
The danger was gradually approaching, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him, which made Han Li's spine feel cold and his breathing became rapid.
He quickly activated the fairy key in his arms, but found that he could not communicate with the world in his stomach, let alone use his consciousness to travel to the Dream City.
Han Li seemed to be in another world, his whole body soaked with sweat.
"My Buddha fixes the light..."
A stream of hot air blew in his ears, as if a figure was lying on his back, softly calling the name of Dingguang Buddha.
As if facing a formidable enemy, Han Li immediately cast Shadowless Ghost, turning his body into an amorphous shadow, hiding in the ubiquitous darkness.
"Hey Hey……"
The strange laughter echoed in the place. After the monster couldn't find Han Li, it gradually moved away.
Han Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to maintain the state of ghost possession, flowing and moving from the ground like water.
Since the Shadowless Ghost can avoid being detected by monsters in the dark, most of Ci's Taoist disciples can survive.
What Han Li has to do now is to quietly withdraw from the darkness.
Because of Dingguang Buddha's sudden transformation into a demon, the Prison Hall was in a state of panic, with at least hundreds of monks trapped inside.
The monks who were in Jingzhou at that time were awakened by Ren Qing in advance and had already rushed back to the world in the stomach. On the contrary, the monks in Cishi and Xiangxiang were all inexplicably involved.
They were completely out of contact. Even if Ren Qing used the toe separation technique one after another, he could not detect the traces of the monks from the Prison Hall.
Fortunately, only two or three monks died due to panic.
Most monks are very calm in the face of danger, their current situation is relatively stable, and they are even looking for ways to escape.
Ren Qing gave them a fortune telling.
Although it is a "bad omen", it has not worsened to a "serious danger" that threatens life.
In the end, darkness covered half of Jingzhou, as well as the entire Shuize and Xiangxiang, and one-third of the Endless Forest fell.
Ren Qing also sensed through Tiandisheng that Taiyin Xingjun and Fude Dixian were close to death, and now was indeed the opportunity to obtain the immortal position.
He asked the jailer to count the losses and noticed that Han Li was missing.
Because Feng Kongren was in the bottomless abyss, he was also not spared.
Ren Qing currently doesn't know the situation of Dingguang Buddha, but the four mistresses of the insect nest are all trapped in the darkness. If Tianjujing rushes to Jingzhou, he is afraid that there is only a dead end.
After he was sure that the monks would not be in danger for the time being, he calmly issued the mission.
Li Yaoyang will go to the dark periphery and use Gu insects to explore the situation inside.
Xiao San'er tried to use a magic weapon to illuminate the darkness generated by Dingguang Buddha. If Li Yaoyang's Gu insect was ineffective, he would use a magic weapon to illuminate the darkness.
Hu Wen led Yao Mai to take a detour to Cishi, intending to dig from the ground to Jingzhou to see if he could avoid the influence of Dingguang Buddha.
Ren Qing immediately went to retreat, and it was not far from the time when the crack in the heavenly path was healed.
He had to at least use the toe separation technique to contact Han Li and other monks, and even if that didn't work, he had to send the necessary supplies to each of them.
Several fungus souls headed into the darkness, but after entering, they were cut off from the outside world, and could only be faintly detected by the Toe Lift Technique.
Ren Qing must always pay attention to Jingzhou. If the current toe separation technique cannot communicate, he will immediately be promoted to the level of Daoshengyi.
As long as you can barely control the immortal body of the Zhili Mengxian, it will be a great blessing to the Zhili technique.
He doesn't care at all whether Dingguang Buddha will destroy Jingzhou, but his disciples must save their lives, and it is best to obtain the immortal position.
"correct……"
Ren Qing raised his eyebrows, and his consciousness descended to the heavenly palace in the world in his stomach.
Li Tiangang and Song Zongwu were discussing how to deal with troubles in the Paradise Cave. After noticing Ren Qing, they hurriedly greeted him out.
"Don't worry, Han Li and the others are not in danger for the time being. I can feel that their mood is quite stable."
Song Zongwu sighed and said: "Buddhism is really difficult to deal with. I can feel that Dingguang Buddha has not yet reached the level of Tathagata, but he has already possessed a physical body, and it has only been in the past few years."
"Indeed, we can only wait two years and cannot be obsessed with Jingzhou for too long."
Li Tiangang was also very calm and could not give up the plan for a hundred people.
Ren Qing had been staring at the hexagrams on the surface of the tortoise shell. Han Li and others must have found the pattern in the darkness, and the hexagrams remained at a low level of misfortune.
"It's okay, leave Jingzhou to me."
He had to seize the time to advance to the Toe Lifting Technique, but before that, he had something to tell him, so that the Jailer Hall could take the opportunity to develop an informant.
Song Zongwu's lips twitched and he couldn't help but ask: "Ren Qing, since it's not the cause of Dingguang Buddha's trouble, then..."
"Two seniors and four mistresses are trapped in Jingzhou, why not go to the insect nest?"
Ren Qing's intention is very simple. First, completely infiltrate the insect nest. If the mistress is lost in Jingzhou, the Jailer Hall will take over the power of the insect nest and strengthen itself.
However, the Insect Nest involves a game between multiple forces, at least there are chess pieces planted by Wuming and Buddhism, so we must be cautious.
Li Tiangang said helplessly: "You will really find trouble for us."
He did not refuse, and turned to Song Zongwu and asked: "Old Song, let's take a trip. It is said that the scale of the insect nest town is as high as millions of people. I don't know how to provide supplies."
Ren Qing hesitated and said, "You can bring Master Taihan or Master Yuhua with you, and you can also send as many cultivators as possible from the Insect Pulse."
Although he did not let Zhong Ping come into contact with the insect nest, he could not always exclude Zong Ping from the mission. In the long run, there would definitely be objections from the Tiandao insect people.
I feel that since the Hive forces are so easy to infiltrate, there is no shortage of Jailer Hall.
To say how loyal the Tiandao Insects are to the Insect Nest, it is not necessarily true. From the beginning to the end, they mainly believe in the Immortal of Merit, and even the Mistress can only push back.
The Insect's Hive belongs to a theocratic society, but the Fude Immortal they believe in is contrary to them.
Eighty percent of the Immortals of Fortune are aware of the existence of the Insect Hive, but after millions of years of reproduction, the systems of the Insect Hive and Jingzhou have long been completely different.
Ren Qing estimated that if Fude Tathagata recognized him, the latter would also feel that the orthodoxy of Wuwei Taoist Temple was in the Prison Hall, not the Insect's Nest.
Li Tiangang and Song Zongwu discussed how to invade the insect nest. Seeing this, Ren Qing left the world in his stomach and returned to his own body.
With the strength of the Jailer Hall, it is barely able to undertake multi-front operations.
Ren Qing was relatively reassured about the two of them. Even if there was a hidden world in the insect nest, Taoist Mu She could still support them.
Before Ren Qing became an immortal, the prisoners held on the third floor of the underworld could only be mercenaries, no matter what they thought of the jailer's hall.
It's okay for occasional use, but if you really want to join the Jailer's Hall, sooner or later there will be rebellion.
The Prisoner's Hall had previously explored the true and false nature of the insect nest, but due to the four mistresses, the clues obtained were limited to the periphery.
Each branch is intensively discussing strategies to deal with the insect nest.
As expected, just as Ren Qing expected, after a short period of silence, Chongmai organized a group of the most elite monks, led by Taoist Yuhua.
There are still precautions that should be taken, and Li Tiangang pays careful attention to the movements of the insect veins.
Faced with unprecedented changes in the future, the Jailer Hall should indeed eliminate internal and external troubles and maximize its war potential.
Ren Qing was caught up in the promotion of the Toe Lifting Technique. Although the cracks in the Heavenly Dao have not been completely restored, it can still be sustained after 40,000 years.
He originally planned to continue to settle down for a while, but now his plan cannot keep up with the changes.
[Whether one is promoted to Tao Sheng Yi or not, it will consume 40,000 years of life]
Ren Qing felt that the brain was slightly swollen, and the brain tissue was transforming into crystals, indicating that the source of the immortal body of the toe separation technique was the brain.
Suddenly, his consciousness came to a strange dreamland.
The dreamland is full of twisted vegetation, and the light is like waves, and it keeps changing, making Ren Qing overwhelmed.
"The dream god says that the toes are separated. If you call it and go to bed, the dream will be clear and auspicious."
The long sigh of the Dream God's departure sounded in the dream, but it was slightly different from when Tiandisheng was promoted. Ren Qing did not notice the other party's figure.
The crystallization of the brain is intensifying, and it should be necessary to devour the flesh and blood of the Dream God.
Ren Qing thought that Zhili's technique would be slightly different in breaking through Daoshengyi's bottleneck, but then the dream god Zhili began to murmur in pain.
The sky in the dreamland turned blood red, and the vegetation became twisted and terrifying.
Ren Qing noticed a bunch of crystal clear colorful glazed flowers, but they suddenly turned into the shape of stomachs and hung bloody on the branches.
"So, what I experienced should be the dream of the dream god's separation, right?"
Ren Qing ignored the increasingly weird dreams and focused on improving the art of separation, while using his consciousness to communicate with the monks in Jingzhou.
After receiving the blessing of the Immortal Body, even though Dao Shengyi's Immortal Body was only initially growing, the Toe Lifting Technique was greatly improved.
Ren Qing's consciousness seemed to have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived at the silent darkness.
He could hear the beating of a heart in the darkness, as well as a large number of creatures crawling around, which was terrifying.
Ren Qing stared at the darkness and could vaguely feel the positions of the monks.
He did not rush to use his consciousness to get closer, but continued to perform the toe separation technique to strengthen the connection between the toe separation technique and the monks.
The fungus souls scattered throughout the darkness are not idle either.
The fungus soul spreads the disease seeds in the air, allowing the breeze to carry the disease seeds deep.
Han Li didn't notice the bacteria at all, and focused his attention on the sound of tapping wooden fish not far away intermittently.
He maintains his half-human and half-shadow state, which consumes the least amount of magic and will not cause any movement.
Han Li didn't know what happened to Dingguang Buddha, but he only knew that there was an unspeakable monster in the darkness that could easily erase his neck.
He has been in danger for many days and is gradually beginning to understand how to survive.
First of all, you can't make a sound, even if you breathe, it may attract monsters, making it difficult to fight enemies in the Yin difference realm.
Secondly, the number and strength of monsters increases over time.
Han Li has completely given up on head-on confrontation and just wants to leave as soon as possible.
He narrowed his eyes and gradually crawled towards the source of the wooden fish's beating.
It didn't take long for Han Li to notice a skinny figure with his back to him. He looked like he was dressed as a monk.
"It is impossible for the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva to leave any monks behind in Cishi. Could it be that he was a monk from Jingzhou who mistakenly entered Cishi?"
Han Li quietly walked around the figure, only to find that both sides of him were behind him, as if he were two different people overlapping each other.
He was startled, and then noticed that the sound of the wooden fish came from the figure's belly.
Anyone else might have studied the strange figure, but when Han Li saw this, he turned around and left without hesitation.
"Han Li, use him to light a bonfire to activate the Immortal Key."
Han Li's hair stood up, and when he realized it was Ren Qing, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, his eyes filled with relief.
He almost collapsed and naturally understood that the source of darkness was Dingguang Buddha.
In Han Li's opinion, Dingguang Buddha is at least on the same level as the Earth Immortal, and the Jailer's Hall is simply not good enough. It is obviously more normal to abandon them.
Ren Qing controlled the fungus soul and looked around, but Dao Shengyi's toe separation technique still couldn't penetrate the darkness.
He is also having a hard time in Jingzhou. The Insect Hive Mistress is probably going to be in trouble. The Earthly Immortal is not comparable to the Heavenly Creature Realm.
Ren Qing attached the fungus soul to Han Li's Niwan Palace.
"Exhume the body and make sure not to make a sound."
【Corpse Salary】
[It is condensed by the erosion of Dingguang Buddha. After burning, it can drive away the demons. 】
Han Li nodded slightly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, wrapped the body with the shadowless ghost, and then disassembled the body bit by bit.
The right leg of the corpse was buried in the soil, and the skin, flesh and bones were even older.
It shows that the corpse might have been just a skeleton originally, but under the stimulation of Dingguang Buddha's energy, it gradually grew into a complete corpse.
Han Li laid the body flat and took out the fire pill from the storage bag.
Fire Pill is a unique elixir that can release scorching flames and can burn smoothly even under water.
Han Li was secretly glad that there were a lot of miscellaneous things in the storage bag.
Fire pills were indeed an unexpected product of the alchemist. Their effects were relatively useless, and they were so cheap that only street stalls would sell them in bulk.
He placed the fire pill next to the fattest thigh of the corpse, and soon flames burst out, and a strange meaty aroma filled the air.
The body looked devoid of any moisture, but was still crackling.
Han Li's expression was tense, his right hand touched the flying sword at his waist, his mouth opened, and the cold needle magic weapon hidden under his tongue was ready to go.
"My Buddha fixes the light..."
"My Buddha fixes the light, my Buddha fixes the light..."
Thick murmurs came from all directions. If Han Li hadn't trusted Ren Qing, he would have left the bonfire.
The flames ignited by the corpse could only illuminate half a meter.
Ren Qing still couldn't see clearly what the monster looked like, but according to his estimation, it was probably a rabbit toad corroded by Buddha's energy.
He looked at Han Li, who was greedily breathing in the smoke from the bonfire and staring south in shock.
"Han Li, don't panic, they don't dare to get close to the bonfire."
"Use the fairy key to travel to the world in the stomach."
Ren Qing urged him several times, but Han Li showed no response. His expression was not as calm as before, as if he had become a follower of Dingguang Buddha.
Han Li moved his lips slightly and squeezed out four words through his teeth: "My Buddha Dingguang."
"Oh shit."
Ren Qing used the fungus soul to seal Han Li's Niwan Palace, but it was of no use. Han Li was like a demon in a daze, repeating "My Buddha fixes the light."
It wasn't until the bonfire burned out that Han Li regained his senses.
The firelight disappeared, and the monsters in the darkness rushed towards them impatiently. Fortunately, Ren Qing drove Han Li's shadow to cast Shadowless Ghost.
"Disciple, disciple, this is..."
"What exactly did you see?"
Han Li tried hard to recall, but his memory seemed to be fragmented.
"never mind."
"Han Li, please wait where you are. I plan to send some ghost figures to come and take you directly to the world in the stomach while the bonfire is burning."
"Senior Ren, Dingguang Buddha has not yet reached its peak. I will try to summon my colleagues from the Jailer Hall."
Ren Qing did not stop Han Li, after all, he was protected by the Shadowless Ghost.
He signaled the ghost figure to rush towards Cishi, but as soon as he left the Dragon Blood Sea, the mountains began to shake again in the direction of Jingzhou.
The darkness expanded thousands of miles again.
The monks sent out by the Jailer Hall were mentally prepared and used the Immortal Key to transfer to the world in the stomach in time, so that the number of trapped people did not increase.
