Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 132 Unable to Get Out. (First Update!)

Click... click... click...

Clear chewing sounds echoed continuously in the ancestral hall.

【Dream Weaver】devoured the cultivator's flesh in his hands, blood and bits of flesh gushing from the corners of his mouth, the stench of blood quickly spreading through the semi-circular cave.

During the feeding process, the Dream Weaver's body changed again, gradually wriggling into the shape of the fleshy body that was being eaten.

Along with this change, the Yin energy around [Dream Weaver] surged, like black smoke swirling around, casting an indescribable gloom on his face. In his dazed state, his eerie green eyes were devoid of any emotion, filled with a strong sense of inhumanity.

After devouring several bodies, the Dream Weaver, who was enjoying its meal, suddenly froze and stopped eating.

Immediately afterwards, it suddenly stood up and blew a breath of yin energy towards the rows of cultivators' bodies around it.

The moment the yin energy left its mouth, it instantly transformed into a mighty, sweeping wind of souls.

However, the moment the soul wind took shape, it suddenly seemed to lose its support, dissipating directly and returning to a cold, yin energy that vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

【Dreamweaver】 was immediately alarmed; it was losing its ability to summon Soul Wind!

A new main soul is taking over the Soul Summoning Banner!
Is that the one from the Ghost Fighting Arena?
Apart from it, of all the ghosts in the entire Shu Family Fortress, only this one is qualified to receive the Soul-Summoning Banner's approval...

Without further thought of recovering its power, [Dream Weaver] immediately got up and rushed towards the location of the Soul-Summoning Banner.

※※※

Shujiabao.

Underground mine.

Banners fluttered on the mountain of bones in the deep pit.

Within the black banners, a black throne hung high, its wide, flowing sleeves draped low. The king sat upright, his back straight, exuding an air of confidence and pride as he surveyed his surroundings.

The moment she sat on the throne, the numerous steps below began to disappear rapidly, and a vast expanse of Yin energy surged out from the void, transforming into an inverted funnel of Yin energy that frantically poured into her body.

The funnel of yin energy was not as large as when one was improving their cultivation in the underworld, but it was exceptionally refined, hovering above his head like a black crown.

Her blue robe fluttered in the wind. She was very familiar with this feeling, and at this moment, she was not surprised at all. Instead, she relaxed and leaned back against the back of the throne to adjust to a more comfortable sitting position.

As the yin energy surged down, Qingli felt as if she were immersed in a thousand-year-old icy pool, feeling an indescribable comfort throughout her body.

The body, which was already like a living person, became even more solid and powerful.

She suddenly opened her mouth and exhaled a thick cloud of yin energy. The yin energy blew out from the banner, rising steadily and gradually condensing into a soul wind.

The soul wind howled and swept through the entire pit, crisscrossing and engulfing the surrounding yin energy, growing stronger and stronger, like a pitch-black hurricane.

Seeing this scene, Qingli's heart stirred, and a powerful soul wind immediately blew towards the many ghosts remaining in the deep pit.

The ghostly wind swept across these ghostly creatures in a mighty torrent.

Pairs of eerie green eyes ignited from the darkness in an instant, converging into a cold and sinister glow.

All the ghosts touched by the soul wind experienced a surge of yin energy, their faces rapidly contorting into terrifying grimaces. Then, gazing at the black throne within the banner, they all knelt down in unison, their submission evident in their every word.

Qingli was immediately invigorated, feeling as if she could command these ghosts that had been swept by the soul wind!
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and immediately blew out more than a dozen breaths of yin energy.

In an instant, more than a dozen gusts of soul wind swept out from the deep pit of the underground mine, engulfing the entire Shu Family Fortress like a plow sweeping across the land.

One of the gusts of soul wind roared and swirled in the mine, growing rapidly before being manipulated by Qingli to turn back and crash heavily into the chains that bound the black banner.

Clang clang clang... The black chains swayed slowly, producing a low metallic clang as they rubbed against each other, yet they did not loosen their grip on the black banner in the slightest.

Qingli frowned and immediately summoned more soul winds, which swept towards the dark chains.

Ding ding ding ding...

Numerous black chains vibrated simultaneously, producing a series of sounds that echoed for a long time in the deep pit.

Just then, a figure in a pink blouse and colorful skirt quietly appeared at the edge of the deep pit. She was beautiful and charming, with a deep mark on her neck. It was Niannu.

Niannu glanced at the numerous ghosts in the deep pit, then her gaze immediately fell upon the black banner that was sticking out at an angle above the pile of bones.

The black banner swayed softly in mid-air, emanating a heavy, eerie aura. Two runes on the banner, resembling insects and birds, shimmered with a faint glow in the darkness.

Niannu didn't see Qingli, but she sensed that Qingli was here.

So, she looked at the black banner and said very respectfully, "Lady Qingli, that human lord wants you to meet him at the Ghost Fighting Arena."

Upon hearing this, Qingli, who was inside the black banner, immediately came to her senses and replied with great dissatisfaction, "That human brat is really nosy!"

As she spoke, she stopped manipulating the soul wind, seemingly preparing to leave with Niannu.

However, Niannu stood at the edge of the pit and waited for about ten breaths, but Qingli did not make any move.

She was immediately puzzled and was about to ask when Qingli's dry voice came from within the black banner again: "Um, Niannu..."

"It seems like my great-aunt can't get out right now."

"Go quickly and call that human boy. Only after he helps me escape can I go to the Ghost Arena to meet him."

※※※

Shujiabao.

Ghost fighting arena.

"Hee hee hee……"

"Hehehehehe...hehe..."

"Hehehe...hehe...hehehehe..."

A chilling, crisp laugh echoed throughout the space. Zheng Que and the girl with the high bun stood facing each other a few steps apart, surrounded by red silk umbrellas. The many ghosts on the platform, who had been paying no attention to the fight between the two, were still focused on the situation in the lotus-shaped depression.

However, as the laughter reverberated, these ghostly figures dressed as cultivators seemed to sense something and all turned to look at Zheng Que and Ku Lan.

Feeling the chilling gazes fixed upon him, Zheng Que felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively realized something was wrong.

Without any hesitation, he immediately cast a series of spells, his yang energy suddenly receding completely, without leaking out at all.

This is [Spiritual Descent Technique]!
With Qingli and Niannu not around right now, and only Kulan, his ghost servant, is available, he can't deal with the main soul refined by the Shu family!
In the blink of an eye, the [Spirit Descent Technique] was completed, but Ku Lan showed no reaction whatsoever.

Zheng Que's expression changed immediately. The [Spirit Descent Technique] could only be used on one's own ghost servants, but the [Ghost Control Technique] on Ku Lan had just been dispelled by the [Dream Weaver]!

Not only Kulan, but also Qingli and Niannu are the same.

The three ghost servants, Kulan, Qingli, and Niannu, still obey his orders, which has nothing to do with the [Ghost Control Technique], but is entirely due to the Underworld.

Just then, the girl with her hair in a high bun broke free from Ku Lan's ghostly trick, turned her head, and stared straight at Zheng Que.
