Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 131 Unrecognized! (Third Update!)
This black throne sat silently high in the darkness, seemingly emanating waves of calls directed at ghosts.

This call has an extremely strong attraction for ghosts.

All the ghosts that had been desperately fleeing suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared intently at the black banner.

The next moment, all the ghosts' expressions were filled with intense desire. Without any hesitation, they rushed towards the throne in the black banner like a tidal wave.

Seeing this scene, Qing Li snorted coldly and immediately let out a high-pitched soul howl.

"what!!!"

A piercing howl echoed through the deep pit, its vibrations like waves rolling and grinding in all directions.

All the ghosts in the deep pit were shaken so badly that their souls trembled like smoke and clouds, and then froze in place, unable to move at all.

The next moment, Qing Li's figure flashed, and she rushed into the steps in the black banner with lightning speed. Her wide sleeves fluttered as if she were riding the wind. She quickly climbed the steps and arrived at the end of the steps, where she sat down on the black throne in a generous manner.

She didn't know what the throne was for, nor what had happened here.

But as a ghost destined by fate, this throne is clearly prepared for him!

Shujiabao.

Ghost fighting arena.

Zheng Que stood in the packed stands with Ku Lan by his side.

"It hurts a little, but it'll be over soon..."

Before the girl with her high-bun hairstyle could finish speaking, her five fingers, like claws, were already about to strike Zheng Que's skull.

Zheng Que's pupils dilated suddenly, and he hurriedly tried to retreat, but the other party was too fast, and he had no time to dodge.

At the critical moment, Ku Lan suddenly rushed forward. Her black clothes and black umbrella instantly turned into a blood-red color. Blood dripped from the umbrella, and as the blood dripped continuously, Ku Lan's body was filled with a strong yin energy. She raised the silk umbrella and shielded Zheng Que.

boom!
The girl with the high bun gripped the silk umbrella tightly with her claws. Ku Lan's body trembled violently with yin energy. She stumbled back more than ten steps, umbrella and all. Her figure seemed to become slightly transparent for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She managed to block a blow for Zheng Que.

Seeing this, the girl with her high bun looked clearly puzzled, as if she couldn't understand why Zheng Que was resisting. She flicked her sleeves and was about to continue her attack when Zheng Que quickly seized the opportunity to point two fingers between his eyebrows. As he circulated his spiritual power, he created a rune that resembled both an insect and a bird.

After quickly issuing an imperial edict, Zheng Que hurriedly pointed towards the girl with her hair in a high bun not far away.

Whoosh!
The imperial edict was swift as lightning, but in the blink of an eye, the girl with her hair in a high bun tilted her head, and the mysterious light that the edict had transformed into grazed her cheek and disappeared behind her.

The next moment, the decree fell upon a ghostly figure resembling a middle-aged man in the stands.

The ghost that had been pointing and gesturing at the lotus-shaped depression froze and began to receive the imperial decree.

Zheng Que's eyes widened immediately; the imperial edict had been evaded!

At that moment, Kulan's head suddenly turned rapidly to the back.

The girl with her hair in a high bun was about to turn around when she found that her head seemed to be stuck, unable to straighten itself, and instead continued to turn backward little by little.

Just as Ku Lan used her ghostly skills to temporarily restrain the girl with the high bun, Zheng Que quickly drew out a new decree from between his eyebrows and once again pointed his finger at the main soul refined by the Shu family.

Unable to straighten her head, the girl with her high bun immediately waved her long sleeves, and a gust of wind suddenly rose up, sweeping around. More than a dozen ghosts on the platform were swept up one after another and stood in front of the girl with her high bun.

Whoosh!
The imperial edict transformed into a beam of mysterious light, instantly disappearing into the ghostly creature resembling an old man. This ghost, like the one that had previously appeared as a middle-aged cultivator, froze on the spot, the rune between its brows flickering uncertainly, as it began to accept the imperial decree. Zheng Que frowned deeply. His edict could forcibly seal ghosts, but since he couldn't hit the target, even the strongest edict was useless!

More importantly, his decrees have a powerful attraction for ghosts.

But the main soul refined by the Shu family in front of us seems to be completely unaffected!
At the same time, Ku Lan raised her silk umbrella, and in an instant, a series of graceful figures emerged from beneath it. These figures were all identical to Ku Lan, and in the blink of an eye, the entire stands were filled with densely packed figures holding umbrellas.

This is a ghostly technique, [Split].

Immediately afterwards, these figures vanished one by one under the umbrellas as if bubbles were bursting, leaving only silk umbrellas floating in the air.

These floating silk umbrellas, like countless dandelions, drifted and floated towards the many ghostly creatures around them.

"whee……"

"Hee hee hee……"

"Hehehehehe...hehe..."

At this moment, the girl with her hair in a high bun suddenly covered her mouth with her sleeve and let out a strange laugh.

Shujiabao.

Small Round Hall.

A long, narrow figure suddenly emerged from the doorway with the black pottery jar. Its head was flat and round with a vertical mouth. After emerging, it turned its head slightly, casually "scanning" the situation in the small round hall, its gaze sweeping over the broken pottery shards on the ground, before "looking" at the doorway marked with crossed ghost hands.

However, [Dream Weaver] did not head directly to the Ghost Fighting Arena, but instead changed direction and headed towards the gate with the simple house.

【Dream Weaver】walked into the passageway leading to the ancestral hall. As he walked, his figure began to change rapidly again. In just a few steps, he transformed into a male cultivator dressed in black. When he slowly raised his head, Ji Mingjia's face was revealed.

click, click, click...

【Dream Weaver】walked quickly and soon arrived at the end of the passageway, pushed open the door, and entered the ancestral hall.

Perhaps because it was night, the yin energy here was exceptionally strong, as if we were immersed in a cold pool, and the chilling aura was penetrating everywhere.

Inside the semi-circular cave, dense creeping fig trees acted like a curtain, obscuring the innermost shrine.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the creeping figs were slowly wriggling, and were actually black chains intertwined into branches and leaves, like a cage, isolating the shrine from the outside world.

Inside the shrine, chaotic roars echoed continuously, as if the trapped souls were being tortured. They frantically tore at the drooping ivy, trying to escape.

However, the ivy composed of those black chains remained completely still.

Outside the shrine, a crowd of people gathered, and the bodies of cultivators were displayed silently, their faces lifelike and their clothes as before, yet they made no sound, like lifelike wax figures.

Among the many bodies, there were two figures: one tall and robust, carrying a long sword on his back; the other, dressed in a crimson blouse and yellow skirt, pretty and capable. There was a subtle resemblance between them, and they were the bodies of Jia Bin and Jia Miaoniang!
Looking at the dazzling array of figures before him, [Dream Weaver] immediately grabbed the one closest to him and began to devour it in large bites.

These are all unformed "strange things," which are also the power it accumulated during the period it was sealed!
Now that the seal has been broken, it will reclaim these powers and then go to the Demon Arena to deal with the real enemy!
