The aftermath of the Ancient Maitreya Buddha's appearance continued to unfold. Jingzhou had once again fallen into a battle between immortals and Buddhas, and it could be sensed even from ten thousand li away.
Ren Qing knew that the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages were truly like a centipede that remained alive even after being cut in half. A mere remnant thought was nowhere near enough to eliminate the possibility of their resurrection.
At the same level as the Three Dao Ancestors, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable represented the unity of all things, the Daode Heavenly Venerable represented the propagation of living beings, and the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable represented formless chaos.
As for the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages, the Ancient Maitreya Buddha embodied the future, the Ancient Buddha Tathagata represented the present, and the Dipankara Buddha led to the past.
There was a good chance that the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages could not be killed at all. They might still be alive, simply not along the same timeline as Ren Qing.
Whether it was the Three Dao Ancestors or the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages, they were far beyond anything Ren Qing could come into contact with.
The more Ren Qing thought about it, the more wary he became. The Sealing Immortal War would have to account for the Buddhist sect as a variable. Who knew whether the surviving remnants of the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages would interfere?
He recalled everything that had happened in Jingzhou and discovered many suspicious points.
Who exactly had killed the Meat and Wine Taoist?
Ren Qing only now realized the truth. Refining artifacts with the internal organs of Heavenly Aberration realm cultivators. How could that possibly be the work of the Buddhist sect?
The Immortal Longevity Restricted Area had never moved, so the Wind God Boqiang's Immortal Position had definitely been brought from somewhere else. There might even have been more than one cultivator involved.
After Ren Qing stole the Wind God Boqiang's Immortal Position, the mastermind had quickly found a replacement. An unclaimed Immortal Position was even rarer than a living True Immortal.
The Insect Nest had also shown signs of cooperation.
If Ren Qing had not interfered, relying on the Insect Nest's reproductive ability, it could have easily supplied the enormous quantity of flesh and blood required by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage.
The Insect Nest could take what it needed from the arrangement. Perhaps it could even obtain the Immortal Position it had long coveted.
The centuries of preparation in Jingzhou clearly could not have been arranged by a single remnant thought. No matter how he looked at it, there seemed to be multiple forces making their moves behind the scenes.
"Could it be that some cultivators truly want to resurrect the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages?"
"Or have they been influenced by the remnants of the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages?"
Ren Qing neither confirmed nor denied it, but at the very least, he could be certain that one of the four Great Matriarchs of the Insect Nest had participated in the preparations in Jingzhou.
His head throbbed faintly. If among the first batch of immortals created through the Sealing Immortal process there were believers of the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages, then there would be no hope of peace.
Of course, Ren Qing was not without means of counterbalance. He possessed Immortal Positions into which Immortal Offices could be implanted. The exact effect would still depend on the breakthrough of Heaven and Earth Genesis.
Ren Qing secretly considered the chips he currently had in hand that could be placed on the gambling table.
The Immortal Positions he possessed were the Wind God Boqiang, the Silkworm Mother Insect Immortal, and the Old Man Under the Moon.
The Old Man Under the Moon was the key to luring Wuming into the game. The Silkworm Mother Insect Immortal was the path to immortality he had reserved for Li Yaoyang. In theory, the Wind God Boqiang should also be given to the Wind Void People.
"No. The Immortal Positions must first be used to construct a restricted area. Only by creating a small world isolated from the outside can there be conditions for becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao."
Otherwise, before they could even become immortals, Turbid Immortals would come to hunt them down, let alone the Three Dao Ancestors or the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages secretly watching from the shadows.
Ren Qing shook his head. Naturally, the more Immortal Positions the restricted area required, the better.
He could give cultivators in the Restraint Officers' Hall who were suited to particular Immortal Positions a backdoor, allowing Li Yaoyang to obtain opportunities more easily. Whether they could seize them would depend on themselves.
Even if they could not become immortals, it would not necessarily be a bad thing for the cultivators of the Restraint Officers' Hall.
Judging from the potential displayed by Heaven and Earth Genesis, in the future, he might even be able to empower immortals within the Stomach World.
However, Heaven and Earth Genesis would have to at least reach the level of an Earth Immortal, and perhaps even transcend the Earth Immortal realm.
Becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao was already a narrow escape from death, let alone the emergence of large numbers of Weird Immortals. Their appearance would inevitably cause a war between the Strange and the Turbid.
There was not much Ren Qing could do. He could only do his best to ensure that the situation did not completely spiral out of control.
As long as he was given enough time, with five supreme Immortal Positions and the assistance of the information flow, he would soon be able to transcend everything.
"Just the Wind God Boqiang and the other Immortal Positions are far from enough. Looks like I'll have to count on Jingzhou."
The battle between immortals and Buddhas in Jingzhou would inevitably result in True Immortals falling, especially the weakened Taiyin Star Lord and Fortune Virtue Earth Immortal.
With the preparations he had made beforehand, secretly obtaining their Immortal Positions would not be difficult.
Having thought this far, Ren Qing used Heavenly Demon Possession to head toward the outskirts of Xiangxiang.
As soon as he descended through the dragon-type body, an unpleasant smell of gunpowder flooded his nostrils. Although the current solar term was already Major Cold, the temperature was far hotter than it had been during summer.
Ren Qing looked around. Xiangxiang had been completely reduced to ruins, with none of its former appearance remaining.
Although there was still a stretch of marshland between Xiangxiang and Jingzhou, it had still been completely destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between immortals and Buddhas.
Deep pits covered the ground everywhere, with fiery-red magma flowing inside them. The sky was shrouded in pitch-black clouds, and the sound of explosions was deafening.
Ren Qing looked up and saw a red-black waning moon hanging in midair.
Golden light radiated from the edge of the waning moon, obscuring the normal sun and moon. From time to time, enormous meteorites fell to the ground.
The meteorites constantly disintegrated. Most of them melted into magma, while life was gestating within their cores.
Before long, Rabbit-Toads tore through the layers of rock and crawled out. Their bizarre, indescribable appearance made Ren Qing's scalp tingle even when he merely looked at them.
The backs of the Rabbit-Toads were covered in densely packed heads of baby goats, each only the size of a fist. They made immature, childish cries.
Whenever they saw a living animal, they would immediately pounce on it, stuffing flesh and bones into their mouths in great mouthfuls.
Ren Qing noticed that something resembling a long snake was writhing inside the Rabbit-Toads' abdomens. Their digestive systems had very likely mutated into Heavenly Dao Insects.
The Supreme Heavenly Demon should have been devoting most of its attention to fighting the Dipankara Buddha.
In order to protect themselves, the Taiyin Star Lord and Fortune Virtue Earth Immortal had already cooperated and merged their existences. The two were now somewhat like a host and parasite.
Fortunately, the Corpse Immortal had fled quickly. Otherwise, it definitely would have been trapped when Jingzhou fell.
Ren Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The two True Immortals should still be able to hold out for some time. He did not know whether they could avoid the fate of death and the destruction of their Dao.
He could take advantage of this opportunity to advance his techniques, raising his strength to the perfected Heavenly Aberration realm. Once he obtained the Immortal Positions, he could immediately begin establishing the rules of the restricted area, lest delays lead to unforeseen trouble.
"The Insect Nest really hasn't given up."
Ren Qing narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze on several mountain peaks at the edge of Jingzhou. He could clearly sense the aura unique to the Insect Nest's techniques.
Even if the Insect Nest did not mobilize its entire force this time, it would send at least two Great Matriarchs.
He rearranged his surveillance measures and deliberately increased the number of dragon-type bodies, ensuring that he would learn of the outcome of the battle between immortals and Buddhas as soon as possible.
Ren Qing had just prepared to return to the Dragon Blood Sea Region when his expression suddenly changed slightly.
Inside a meteorite crater not far away, an ordinary-looking fly was flying about, effortlessly avoiding the splashing sparks of magma.
Ren Qing examined the fly. He could not see the slightest trace of a technique, but what insect could remain at ease in temperatures of seventy or eighty degrees?
He summoned the information flow.
A fly converted through the Buddha Qi, capable of understanding human speech.
"The Three Buddhas of the Three Ages. The Three Buddhas of the Three Ages."
Ren Qing gave several cold laughs. After disrupting the plans of the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages, he would certainly be watched by the Buddhist sect. It was perfectly normal for them to wait for him to walk into a trap.
However, he possessed the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, so even a Buddha could not easily detect him.
"The Buddhist sect only knows how to play dirty. The Buddha Status is merely their public-facing method. In secret, they've already controlled quite a few cultivators from Daoist forces."
Ren Qing wished he could help the Three Dao Ancestors purge their own sects, but unfortunately, he did not know the identities of the traitors.
He took a deep look at Jingzhou, then used Heavenly Demon Possession to disappear from the spot and return to the relatively peaceful Dragon Blood Sea Region.
Ren Qing studied how to establish a restricted area centered around Immortal Positions while waiting for the Heavenly Dao Crack to recover.
He kept the Fleshly Tathagata constantly at the limit of its ability to bear the Heavenly Dao transformation. The entire Lingshan had been transformed into a raging inferno, steadily digesting the Heavenly Dao transformation.
The monks continuously chanted scriptures, believing that Lingshan Tathagata's burning of Karmic Fire was an act of eliminating the karma of sinners throughout the world.
The Pig Daoist had already managed to become the abbot of a temple at the foot of Lingshan.
Although he appeared careless and unserious, he truly had a knack for deceiving monks, so he was living quite comfortably in the Western Buddhist Realm.
As Ren Qing looked at the Fleshly Tathagata, he remembered the Tathagata Buddha Position he had accidentally created previously.
The Buddhist sect was truly sinister. The Three Buddhas of the Three Ages were no less terrifying than the Three Dao Ancestors. If the two sides actually started fighting, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ren Qing forcefully suppressed his distracting thoughts and continued using the intestines and stomach of the Forbidden Corpse to simulate the construction of a restricted area.
However, because he had once again reduced the Forbidden Corpse to only half a body in order to lure the Corpse Immortal over, he still had to expend resources to regrow its flesh and bones.
At the same time, Ren Qing did not stop the Restraint Officers' Hall's missions outside. They covered various regions and required the collection of useful clues, with no upper limit on the rewards.
Just as Ren Qing was busy, a situation of uncertain significance suddenly emerged.
Normally, Ren Qing would inspect the Mirror World every few days, mainly comparing the number of cultivators hanging upside down within it.
But he had never expected that one person would have disappeared from the Mirror World at some unknown point.
Only when an external clone died, and Wuming no longer attempted to interfere, could the true body sealed within the Mirror World escape.
Ren Qing repeatedly confirmed it, his expression complicated.
The missing cultivator was utterly insignificant among the others. He was a Ghost Envoy realm cultivator belonging to the force of the Yellow-Robed Monster, someone who could hardly even make it onto the stage.
But the amount of information revealed by this was enormous, and it sent chills through Ren Qing as he thought about it carefully.
It meant that Wuming had completely parasitized the Corpse Immortal. He could influence the Corpse Immortal's subconscious and had certainly noticed the changes in Jingzhou.
A cultivator like Wuming could exist in the world without anyone noticing his presence.
The secrets Wuming knew absolutely exceeded Ren Qing's imagination. Even the arrangements of the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages could not possibly be hidden from him.
The fact that even Wuming had sensed the danger and begun releasing the pawns within the Mirror World ahead of time showed just how deeply rooted the power of the Three Buddhas of the Three Ages had become.
The dispute between Daoism and Buddhism was a major problem that could explode at any moment.
Still, this was also a good thing. Next, Wuming would search for an Immortal Position suitable for the Disaster-Dispelling Method, allowing Ren Qing to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain clues about Immortal Positions.
Ren Qing understood that he had probably already entered Wuming's field of vision, but the other party certainly did not know his exact circumstances.
A great momentum known as "Sealing Immortals" had already begun to reveal itself.
From the depths of the sea, Ren Qing gazed into this world. Because the heart of Shifengdu had almost completely stopped beating, it suddenly began to pound violently against his will.
He took a deep breath, and his palm stirred tiny ripples across the sea.
The originally tranquil Dragon Blood Sea Region immediately began to boil. Fish resembling dragons and snakes leaped from the water one after another.
Since he was searching for Immortal Positions, he was bound to find something in the vast and unfathomable ocean.
The True Immortals of this world were definitely not as scarce as they appeared on the surface. They might be sleeping somewhere in the ocean, or, like the Matchmaking Immortal, have been reduced to nothing more than a body that had lost its soul.
Ren Qing no longer restricted the spread of the dragon-blood ecosystem, though he still changed its rules.
The dragon-blood ecosystem would not forcibly assimilate the original plants and animals. He required the dragon species and ordinary species to coexist.
Ren Qing changed dragon blood so that it could only be inherited through reproduction.
The ocean was simply too mysterious and unpredictable. There had to be intelligent civilizations within it, and perhaps they had already developed an extraordinarily brilliant system of power.
However, Ren Qing was not without confidence. The Flood Merfolk tribe had already begun to take shape.
One Flood Merfolk after another swam outward from the underwater caverns. Their fish tails allowed them to accelerate rapidly through the water, while their sharp teeth and claws served as weapons.
The first cultivation technique the Flood Merfolk practiced had been modified from the Wine God Technique. It could control water currents to attack prey and could also manipulate water to strengthen their bodies.
Later, Ren Qing passed the Dragon-Snake Spine inheritance to the Flood Merfolk tribe.
This caused the differences between males and females to become increasingly pronounced. The females focused primarily on controlling water, while the males strengthened their bodies and pursued draconic transformation.
Although no Yin Difference realm cultivator had been born among them, the Flood Merfolk's combat strength in the ocean far exceeded expectations.
Only the merfolk of the Stomach World could rival them. However, the merfolk had not encountered an especially harsh environment, so they did not pursue individual strength. Instead, they focused on the prosperity of their tribes.
Ren Qing's gaze swept over the numerous Flood Merfolk, and he discovered that the leader of the new generation was named Touna.
His consciousness entered Touna's mind. Touna was startled and immediately knelt, calling out the name of the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
"Dragon King of the Four Seas above."
"From today onward, have the Flood Merfolk investigate toward the south and collect every useful resource."
Ren Qing narrowed his eyes and continued in an unquestionable tone, "As a reward, the Heavenly Court will help you build a Dragon Palace."
"Huha."
Touna raised his right arm above his head, making a gesture of willing submission.
Ren Qing withdrew his consciousness. Wherever his gaze reached, tens of thousands of Flood Merfolk surged outward in groups. They rode domesticated low-intelligence dragon species and moved through the seaweed and coral as easily as walking on level ground.
Compared with the merfolk, they were far more warlike. Every one of them wore scales around their necks for hanging captured prey.
Ren Qing wanted to stimulate the development of the Flood Merfolk tribe, since he would eventually rely on them to explore the ocean, but he did not want to destroy their autonomy.
Thus, Ren Qing would rather place himself in the position of an immortal deity and conduct transactions with the Flood Merfolk.
He was also not worried about the Flood Merfolk rebelling. As the Primordial Unity Dragon Ancestor, all dragons in the world were his descendants, and he could easily control their lives and deaths.
Ren Qing then posted a new external mission in Dream City.
It immediately caused a stir.
Cultivators crowded around the notice. Most of them were proficient in water-related abilities, and they discussed among themselves, but for the time being, no cultivator accepted the mission.
External missions differed from ordinary missions. Their quotas were unlimited.
Once accepted, regardless of whether they were prepared, cultivators would immediately descend into the outside world. They might open their eyes and find themselves facing a mountain of blades and a sea of flames.
When cultivators saw an external mission, they would generally deliberate for a long time.
"Old Huang, it's been several years since we last met. I thought you'd gone mad during cultivation and died."
Chen Haoyu carefully considered the pros and cons when he suddenly noticed an acquaintance mixed in with the crowd. He hurried over to greet him.
"Bah."
Huang Ziwan spat out a mouthful of poisonous phlegm, then casually wiped his nose with Chen Haoyu's sleeve.
Chen Haoyu did not get angry. Instead, he could not help examining Huang Ziwan. Although the latter was already advanced in years, his foundation was genuinely solid. Somehow, his cultivation had actually caught up from behind.
"Not bad, right? I've been in seclusion for decades. Before I die of old age, I should be able to find an opportunity to break through to the Yang God realm."
Huang Ziwan looked somewhat smug. Back then, with Ren Qing's guidance, he had taken up the Poison Bone Art as a secondary cultivation method.
His primary and secondary techniques complemented each other, giving him the feeling of accumulated strength finally being released. He had recently successfully advanced to Fusion Yin God, making his progress seem unstoppable.
Chen Haoyu sighed. "I used to hear you spouting nonsense and thought you really intended to muddle through life and wait for death, then directly transfer your body and soul to cultivate the Corpse Vein."
"Heh heh heh."
Huang Ziwan wore an embarrassed smile and was just about to boast a few words when a hurricane swept down from above.
Sun landed beside the notice, took a sheet of mission paper, and then said, "That Huang Ziwan kid only worked so hard after finding out that the zombie business had become nothing more than a decoration."
Chen Haoyu was stunned for several breaths before bursting into uproarious laughter.
Huang Ziwan had the shamelessness of a dead pig that feared no boiling water. Facing countless strange looks, he hurriedly grabbed the mission and left the Stomach World.
As soon as he entered the water, he felt like a fish returning to the sea. His body, resembling a mixture of a toad and a lizard, was no longer restricted to a land environment.
Huang Ziwan caught up with Sun, and the two became familiar with the Dragon Blood Sea Region while chatting.
The requirements of the external mission were not complicated. The primary task was to help the Flood Merfolk build houses. In addition, all resources obtained during the mission would belong to the cultivators.
However, the mission location was in the sea, causing most cultivators to feel somewhat apprehensive.
Huang Ziwan had originally thought that after Sun received his appointment from the Ghost Immortal Office, advancing to the Yang God realm would be a certainty. He had never expected that because of the mutation of his body and soul, Sun was unable to cultivate any other techniques simultaneously.
Sun's foundation could advance no further, leaving him permanently stuck at the perfected Yin Difference realm.
"I might as well have switched to the Corpse Vein earlier, so I came out to earn Blood Crystals."
Huang Ziwan sounded somewhat wistful. His restless state of mind had gradually become calm. The current Restraint Officers' Hall still provided a way out, and cultivation of techniques had already become systematic, unlike Sun's reliance entirely on trial and error.
Sun, Head in the Jar, and the other veteran cultivators actually did not have particularly good foundations.
At the time, simply staying alive had been difficult enough. How could they have dared to hope for the Yang God realm? As a result, even after receiving Immortal Offices, they had been surpassed by those who came later.
Fortunately, they still had Immortal Offices. Even if they switched to the Corpse Vein, their efficiency in absorbing Yin Qi was beyond what others could match, and their path had actually become broader.
As they chatted, Sun flapped his wings and joined the construction of the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace was located directly above the Matchmaking Immortal. It happened to conceal the aura of the Immortal Position, while any abnormality in the Matchmaking Immortal could also be discovered immediately.
Ren Qing deliberately concealed the two Immortal Positions deep within the earth veins of the Dragon Blood Sea Region.
He began reverse-engineering the Ascension Method from the Silkworm Mother Insect Immortal and added the information of the Immortal Position to the Lesser Heavenly Court, making the inheritance of the Immortal Division appear legitimate.
The complete Ascension Method of the Silkworm Mother Insect Immortal that led directly to the Earth Immortal realm was called "Weaving Insect Garment."
Ren Qing's consciousness entered the Stomach World. Temples and Daoist monasteries of various forms stood throughout it, with the Yang God realm occupying the outermost area.
The walls around Li Yaoyang's Daoist temple were covered with sun-dried corpses of Gu insects of all sizes, while hundreds of jars and bottles were piled throughout the courtyard.
He studied Gu insects day and night, rarely paying attention to anything else.
Li Yaoyang's daily life had originally been taken care of by the Corpse Ghost. After the Corpse Ghost took charge of the Underworld, he had accepted another disciple, his second disciple, "Gu Immortal."
If not for his relationship with Li Yaoyang, Gu Immortal would not have been qualified to enter the Heavenly Palace. He had merely risen alongside his master because of his master's status.
When Ren Qing went to see Li Yaoyang, Gu Immortal happened to be absent from the Daoist temple.
"Brother Ren, what brings you here?"
Li Yaoyang put down his work and hurried over to greet him.
"I have an Ascension Method to give you. It will benefit your cultivation going forward."
Ren Qing directly took out several books recording cultivation techniques. However, they were all Ascension Methods below the Heavenly Aberration realm. The Weaving Insect Garment was transmitted as a memory.
Weaving Insect Garment
Created by Ren Qing. Cultivation required clothing made from silkworm silk that had reached a full year of age, followed by placing one's soul within the silkworm garment for two years before the technique could be successfully cultivated.
The upper limit of the Weaving Insect Garment was the Earth Immortal realm. It could not be cultivated alongside any other techniques.
Immortal Position: Silkworm Mother Insect Immortal
Generally speaking, silkworms lived for no more than forty-some days. In that brief span, they nevertheless passed through the stages of egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
A full-year silkworm had to survive naturally for an entire year. Among several thousand silkworms, there might not even be one.
Li Yaoyang's expression became extremely shocked. He had never seen a technique that could lead directly to the Earth Immortal realm, but its difficulty of cultivation was far beyond ordinary.
Ren Qing informed Li Yaoyang about the Weaving Insect Garment in advance in order to prepare for the future Sealing Immortal process.
The entire Restraint Officers' Hall possessed only a handful of cultivators with the aptitude to become immortals and attain the Dao. Li Yaoyang would certainly have to be cultivated as a priority.
Ren Qing would next need to enter seclusion and advance his techniques, leaving him with no energy to keep an eye on Li Yaoyang.
"Brother Ren, this technique."
Li Yaoyang tried several times to say something, but his mind had gone completely blank. The sudden immortal opportunity had caught him entirely off guard.
"Having an upper limit of becoming an immortal doesn't mean the Earth Immortal realm is within easy reach. The upper limit of a Heavenly Dao technique can also be the Earth Immortal realm, yet countless people remain trapped in the Yang God realm."
After Ren Qing finished speaking, he walked toward the door. Just as he pushed open the wooden door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Li Yaoyang, what do you think of Gu Immortal's temperament?"
Li Yaoyang came back to his senses and shook his head. "Hard to say."
"His obsession with becoming an immortal is extremely strong, and his utilitarianism is even greater than you could imagine. If Gu Immortal ever falls into the ranks of rogue cultivators or joins any other force."
"He could become an unscrupulous evil cultivator."
What surprised Li Yaoyang most was Gu Immortal's attitude toward profit. The latter had actually sold members of his own clan whom he had brought into the Stomach World to the Insect Martial Artists on the islands of the mortal realm in exchange for Blood Crystals.
Gu Immortal had currently returned to cultivating at the Half-Corpse realm and still needed a great deal of time in seclusion. In a certain sense, his own clan members could only drag him down.
After selling them to the Insect Martial Artists, both the humans and insects would actually have better prospects for development.
Ren Qing chuckled. "Don't worry. He won't leave the Restraint Officers' Hall."
Li Yaoyang agreed. "Indeed. The Restraint Officers' Hall is too suitable for Gu Immortal to display his abilities. Besides, no matter how much he cultivates, he could never surpass your talent, Brother Ren."
Ren Qing was very curious to see how far Gu Immortal could go.
Moreover, given the scale of the Restraint Officers' Hall, it should encompass everything. Every cultivator would become nourishment allowing the Stomach World to flourish.
Ren Qing bid farewell to Li Yaoyang and casually found a secluded place to enter seclusion.
He also intended to reverse-engineer the Ascension Method of the Old Man Under the Moon. This would be equivalent to gaining leverage over Wuming, allowing him to advance or retreat freely.
Ren Qing's own cultivation did not fall behind either.
With the Fleshly Tathagata present, the Heavenly Dao Crack needed only one-tenth of its original time to recover completely.
Ren Qing was very curious about the mysteries of the realm beyond the Heavenly Aberration realm.
The Heaven and Earth Genesis of Dao Gives Birth to One could already allow him to initially transform into Zhen Yuanzi.
However, the rules of the Immortal Position contained within the Immortal Body were difficult to conceal. Revealing them unintentionally would expose the secret that he possessed an Immortal Position, so he had never displayed them.
Ren Qing organized his five techniques. Naturally, the highest priority for advancement was Heaven and Earth Genesis.
When Ren Qing had previously advanced two techniques to the Heavenly Aberration realm, the Immortal Body of Ancestral Lineage Derivation had been called the "Imperial Vein Ancestral Dragon," while the Immortal Position of Heavenly Demon Tribulation had been called the "Formless World."
