Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 147, page 2. (First update!)

In the dilapidated hall, Zheng Que watched as Ku Lan's figure disappeared from below the hall, then looked at the Book of Life and Death and immediately spoke, softly calling out, "Qing Li."

Based on the information he just received, Qingli and Niannu should both be safe and sound.

However, for more specific details, it's best to ask in person.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mist rose again below the hall, and when they parted, a figure in white with black hair appeared, with clear marks on his neck.

Upon appearing, Qingli immediately looked around and realized she had arrived in the underworld. She quickly knelt down and bowed, saying cautiously, "This humble servant greets Your Excellency!"

At the head of the table, Zheng Que nodded slightly and asked directly, "I asked you to protect that human cultivator before. How is the mission going?"

Upon hearing this, Qingli immediately lowered her head, almost burying it in her chest, and stammered, unable to speak for a moment.

Seeing that Qingli remained silent, Zheng Que frowned and was about to continue questioning her when the Book of Life and Death in front of him suddenly began to turn on its own.

Wow...

Zheng Que was slightly taken aback and immediately looked over. He saw that the Book of Life and Death had turned to the second page. A new name appeared on the originally blank page, followed by a series of records.

"Type: Wraith."

Species: Ghost Bride.

Real name: Luo Fuyu.

Place of origin: Liangzhou Gulang Prefecture of the Dali Dynasty.

"His lifespan in the underworld: 179 years and 11 days."

"Yin Duty: Yin Messenger (dispatched)."

"Term of office: half a decade."

The Ghost Bride!
Did they get things sorted out on Kulan's side so quickly?
Zheng Que was overjoyed, but he quickly calmed down and looked at the record of the ghost bride's name with some surprise.

This ghost bride's power was clearly extremely profound, but her kind of being was merely a "vengeful spirit," not a special ghost such as "weird," "evil spirit," "wickedness," or "strangeness."

In addition, most of the names he has included are on the first page, except for the last one, "The Shadow Play," which was on the third page, and the current one, "The Ghost Bride," which is on the second page.

He had previously thought that the different pages of the Book of Life and Death corresponded to different ghosts, but now it seemed that this had nothing to do with the types of ghosts.

The names currently listed on the first page of the Book of Life and Death are all ghosts from the Hell of Tongue Pulling and below.

His own cultivation level was Qi Refining Stage, and Xiao Yiyang's cultivation level was also Qi Refining Stage; both of their names appeared on the first page.

The Ghost Bride is a vengeful spirit from the [Scissors Prison], and her name appears on the second page.

The previous [Shadow Play] appeared on the third page, and it is very likely the "evil" of [Iron Tree Prison]!
Yes, the page numbers in the Book of Life and Death should correspond to the levels of hell.

The Book of Life and Death currently only has nine pages, meaning it can only contain ghosts from the first nine hells...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que no longer hesitated. Since the ghost bride's name had already appeared in the Book of Life and Death, he could not delay and had to summon her in as soon as possible!
Once the opponent becomes "unmanageable," you'll miss a golden opportunity.

Then Zheng Li immediately spoke, calling out, "Luofu Rain!"

As soon as the words left her lips, a thick mist rose from the open space beside Qingli. When the mist dissipated, a vibrant figure appeared: a bright red wedding dress, a veil adorned with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and a pair of slender wrists clasped at her lower abdomen, holding jade bracelets as clear as water. She lightly held a blood-red embroidered handkerchief, her entire being exuding a dignified elegance tinged with joy, truly resembling a bride from a noble family about to embark on her grand ceremony. Beneath the veil, Luo Fuyu suddenly appeared in this unfamiliar place. She quickly surveyed her surroundings: an incredibly magnificent palace, with a surging sea of ​​blood floating overhead, and towering pillars beside her seemingly rising into the vast ocean of blood, supporting a grand dome.

In the distance, the red steps stretch out like a mountain range, lifting the throne high and making the distance between the person on and off the throne even more apparent, like clouds and mud.

This scene was magnificent beyond words, surpassing her imagination.

However, when she looked up, she only caught a glimpse of the hem of the robe of the person sitting high on the throne, and felt a sharp pain in her eyes, as if raging karmic fire was roaring and burning along her line of sight!

In a fleeting glimpse, the throne seemed to be the final destination for all living beings, conveying an indescribable terror.

A sudden, almost instinctive fear surged through Luo Fuyu's heart. Without the slightest hesitation, she prostrated herself on the ground and stammered, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

As she spoke, she was utterly shocked.

This must be the legendary underworld!

But wasn't the underworld destroyed long ago?

Has the underworld been rebuilt?

The aura emanating from the figure in the hall was incredibly terrifying. Was he a judge? Or the King of Hell? Or perhaps an even higher being?

In an instant, Luo Fuyu's mind raced, his whole body trembled, and he lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to look up at anything in the area.

However, just as she was filled with terror, a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside her: "My lord! It's this audacious wild ghost! He killed that human boy... he killed the human cultivator that you had your eye on!"

Qingli was just nervously thinking of excuses and how to downplay her responsibility for failing to protect the bride, but now that the ghost bride has appeared, she has immediately found someone to take the blame!
bang bang bang...

As Qingli spoke, she kowtowed several times crisply, then continued rapidly, "My lord, I was just doing good deeds with that human cultivator in Shu Family Fort when this heinous ghost suddenly led a large group of ghosts in. Not only did he kill that human cultivator, but he also tried to incite me to betray you, sir, saying that you are a charlatan and a fraud..."

"Such a scoundrel who slanders your reputation is someone I will naturally oppose with all my might!"

"This humble servant swears to resist to the death!"

"This wild ghost disrespects your superiors, indiscriminately kills the innocent, and has committed such heinous crimes that it deserves to be cast into the eighteenth level of hell, never to be reincarnated..."

Thrown into the eighteenth level of hell?
Luo Fuyu immediately came to her senses. She turned her head and saw Qingli kneeling beside her. She quickly recognized her as the main soul in the soul-summoning banner!

The human cultivator the other party mentioned was the same cultivator that Ku Lan was currently collecting divination materials for!
That cultivator's cultivation level was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, yet he had a background from the Underworld?!

Finished!

I wonder if Kulan has turned that cultivator into a lantern yet...

In a flash, Luo Fuyu replied in a panic, "Your Excellency, you are innocent!"

"I did not kill that human at all!"

"Yes, it was that human cultivator who coveted my beauty and wanted to marry me. He took the initiative to get into my bridal sedan chair!"

"Furthermore, I have never said a bad word about you, sir. It was all made up by this woman!"

"Please, Your Excellency, investigate thoroughly and do not listen to this woman's nonsense..."
