Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 143 While it's hot. (Third update!)

In the underworld, Zheng Que's voice was magnificent and vast, like rolling thunder, shaking the entire grand hall.

An immense pressure swept over them, causing the five ghosts below to prostrate themselves, making them feel even smaller and weaker, and an endless wave of regret and fear washed over them.

The five ghosts listened with trepidation to the pronouncement of their fate. They were already filled with despair, but when they suddenly heard that they would not have to go to hell, the joy of being saved from their desperate situation erupted like a volcanic eruption. After a moment of stunned silence, they came to their senses and immediately kowtowed desperately to express their gratitude.

"Thank you very much, sir!"

"Your Excellency is so magnanimous, I am deeply grateful!"

"I know I was wrong, thank you for your kindness, sir!"

"Your kindness is as high as a mountain, and I will never forget it..."

The sound of kowtowing echoed continuously in the grand hall, the loud thumping noises amplified by the howling wind.

Zheng Que did not hesitate and immediately ordered, "Step down."

As soon as he finished speaking, thick fog rose again below the hall, engulfing the figures of the five ghosts in the blink of an eye. When it dissipated, the place was empty, with not a trace of them left.

Silence returned once more to the dilapidated palace.

Zheng Que looked at the empty hall, leaned back slightly, adjusted his posture, and nodded to himself.

These five newly appointed underworld officials, along with Qingli, Kulan, and Niannu, make a total of eight underworld officials!

Among them, [Dream Weaver] was once a ghost of [Scissors Prison]. Although his current cultivation has not fully recovered, with the help of Shu Yunying, who is at the peak of the ninth level of [Tongue Pulling Prison], and the Soul Summoning Banner controlled by Qing Li, they should be able to deal with this crisis.

Furthermore, my lifespan recorded in the Book of Life and Death remains unchanged, so this time it's definitely secure!

With that in mind, Zheng Que patiently began to wait quietly.

Not long after, he noticed that the records of the five underworld officials who had just been summoned to the underworld in the Book of Life and Death in front of him had suddenly changed.

Zheng Que immediately looked closely and saw that all the records related to [Dream Weaver] had turned into a deathly gray.

Category: Strange

Species: Dreamweaver.

"Real name: None."

Place of origin: Yindie Mountain.

"Lifespan in the underworld: 574 years, 4 months and 1 day".

"Underworld official: Underworld messenger (fallen)."

"term of office:--"

He was slightly taken aback, and immediately looked at the other four underworld officials. He saw that the records of Shu Shu, Shu Shan, and Shu San Niang were the same. All the relevant records had turned gray, "available for dispatch" had changed to "fallen", and the term of office had changed from "half a Jiazi" to a horizontal line.

Only Shu Yunying's record remained unchanged, but "available for deployment" was changed to "unavailable for deployment".

Upon seeing this scene, Zheng Que, who had just been full of confidence, was stunned.

what's going on?
The Dreamweaver app has fallen??
Aside from Qing Li, who wields the Soul-Summoning Banner, this should be the strongest underworld messenger on his side right now!

He was also hoping that the other party could help him when his time of need came!
And now... the other person is dead?!

Moreover, the three underworld messengers, Shu Shu, Shu Shan, and Shu San Niang, were all killed, leaving only Shu Yun Ying, who was still in an "unmanageable" state. It was unknown whether she had escaped or was trapped by something.
What is going on outside?
Zheng Que was immediately filled with questions. He wanted to call Qing Li, Ku Lan, and Nian Nu in to ask about the situation, but he was also worried that this would affect the battle of the three ghost servants.

Looking at the records in the Book of Life and Death, Zheng Que was extremely anxious, his previous ease completely gone. He took a deep breath, suppressed his unease, and continued to wait.

A chilling wind howled from the breach in the palace, and time seemed to stand still, each second passing incredibly slowly. Zheng Que felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

I don't know how much time passed, but finally, the surrounding scenery began to ripple like water once again.

Zheng Que's heart skipped a beat; he knew he had to return to reality!

The next moment, the dilapidated hall disappeared, but instead of immediately entering the small round hall of the Shu family fortress, all that remained was darkness.

In what seemed like a hazy, drowsy state, Zheng Que heard a very familiar voice…

"What happened? It seems that the evil cultivator's soul is gone!"

"Luo Fuyu, if this evil cultivator dies, I'm finished!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que subconsciously tried to open his eyes, only to hear a cold voice coming from the side: "I didn't attack this human. It's just that this human is too weak."

"Anyway, I've already passed on the Yin techniques you wanted. If all else fails, then let's do it while it's still hot."

罗浮雨？
While it's hot?

what's the situation?
Zheng Que was filled with doubts and dared not open his eyes for a moment. He was thinking rapidly. One of the two voices sounded like Ku Lan, but the other was completely unfamiliar. He was certain that he had never heard it before.

However, every word spoken by this unfamiliar voice made him feel an uncontrollable tremor in his heart, and he even had a constant urge to jump up and run away. His whole body instinctively wanted to get away from the other person as soon as possible.

It was obvious that the owner of this unfamiliar voice possessed unfathomable cultivation!

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Que suddenly felt a pair of cold, smooth hands reach into his clothes and tear them open.

Zheng Que felt a chill on his chest, which was now exposed. Several pieces of cloth, wrapped in yin energy, were cold yet soft, and seemed to brush against his skin like water plants, touching him briefly and then leaving.

At the same time, Ku Lan's sinister voice rang out again: "While it's hot, then!"

"I want to be the first one!"

"This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it."

"Luo Fuyu, you go outside and queue up first!"

Should we go first?

queue?

What is Kulan trying to do?
Zheng Que had a vague sense of unease. He immediately tried to get up, but found that his body was as if it were bound by some invisible force, and he could not move at all.

Even though I was awake, my body was completely out of my control for some reason.

Even just wanting to open my eyes is impossible!

Zheng Que was shocked and immediately realized that "Luofu Yu," who was talking to Ku Lan, had discovered that he had woken up!

My current situation is like being paralyzed by a ghost!
Just then, a slightly damp pill with a rich floral fragrance was forcibly stuffed into his mouth.

The moment the pill entered Zheng Que's mouth, before he could even swallow it, he felt a surge of evil fire rising from below his lower abdomen!

As if some mechanism had been activated, all the power in his body converged towards his abdomen, making him feel unbearably hot, as if he were in magma, and he could hardly think for a moment.

At the same moment, that cold voice slowly spoke: "Alright, I won't fight you for it."

"This is the inner core of the 'mysterious' [Myriad Flowers and Blooming Bones], enough to make ten thousand boars go into heat."

"After it's all over, peel off the skin, and you can make a lantern..."
