Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 305 Name Change. (First Update!)

At this moment, Zheng Que's gaze remained fixed on the Book of Life and Death.

The moment the ghost bride's aura broke through the Iron Tree Prison, the name "Luo Fuyu" along with all related records disappeared from the second page of the Book of Life and Death, leaving only the names Mu Xiangu and Meng Yao on that page.

Immediately afterwards, the Book of Life and Death automatically turned to the third page, and below the records of the Shadow Play, a series of information about Luo Fuyu reappeared.

Luo Fuyu, kneeling below the hall, seemed to have undergone a thousand refinements the moment she crossed the threshold of a higher realm. Her wedding dress was even more crisp and magnificent, with fine gold threads appearing on the crimson brocade, reflecting a shimmering halo even in the dim hall. The jade bracelet in her wide sleeves was also edged with a red gold vine pattern, making it even more luxurious.

Seeing this, Zheng Que was overjoyed. The ghost bride had arrived at the Iron Tree Prison!

Unlike [Shadow Play]!
Although the Shadow Play is also the Iron Tree Prison, this thing is currently in an "unmanageable" state, and is of no use except for wasting one of his decrees.

The ghost bride was different. In the several times he encountered danger, the orders he gave her were always carried out perfectly.

This time, his cultivation level has been raised to the [Iron Tree Prison]. As long as the other party continues to obey orders as before, he should be able to successfully overcome the tribulation that awaits him!

Thinking of this, Zheng Que nodded slightly. There were still nine days until his calamity. At the current speed of the caravan, they should be able to reach the prefectural city before his calamity arrives.

Under normal circumstances, given the three "strange" incidents that occurred at Yaotai Mountain, it would have been impossible for the convoy escorting the taxes to reach the prefectural city within a month.

However, on the latter two "strange" occasions, he summoned the ghost bride, so he did not linger in the "strange" events for too long.

To prevent any further accidents, the ghost bride must accompany us on this journey.

Of course, this couldn't be seen by the other cultivators in the caravan. After all, if a Qi Refining cultivator saw a female ghost from the Iron Tree Prison following behind, it would surely scare them to death.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately said, "You have done well this time."

"The tribulation of that human cultivator still has nine days to go."

"It is currently on its way to the prefectural city."

"Next, you will go to protect him immediately, but be careful not to interfere with the human cultivator's karma."

His voice was like the crashing of waters and the rolling of thunder, shaking the vast hall and causing the floating sea of ​​blood above to surge with towering waves. The force was immense, as if even the slightest ripple would bring annihilation to the ghosts below.

Even though the ghost bride had just broken through a major realm, she was still shaken to her core. She knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

She hurriedly kowtowed, her mind racing as she analyzed the situation. Her next task was to protect Zheng Que, but without interfering with his cause and effect... So, she couldn't show herself; she had to protect Zheng Que in secret.
It's easy!
However, she had been traveling at a rapid pace in search of magical artifacts and was now almost at the territory of the Heavenly Artifact Sect. However, she was still quite far from Yaotai Mountain and would need some time to return.

I hope Zheng Que doesn't get into trouble tonight...

Thinking of this, the ghost bride hurriedly replied, "Yes, my lord, I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations!"

Zheng Que nodded slightly and instructed, "Go down."

As soon as she finished speaking, the fog returned, obscuring the ghost bride's figure.

Silence returned to the grand hall. Zheng Que turned his gaze to the Book of Life and Death before him, flipping back to the second page to look at Mu Xian Gu's record. The Yin energy of the ghosts he had personally slain could be distributed among all his ghost servants and underworld officials.

However, neither the ghost servant nor the underworld official could absorb all the yin energy. (See Chapter 61 for the setting)
For example, this time, he killed the "Law Ghost" and just now used the "Law Ghost's" Yin energy to enhance the Ghost Bride's cultivation. However, the Ghost Bride cannot absorb all of the "Law Ghost's" Yin energy; she can only absorb most of it.

This is a rule of the underworld.

He had always done this when he killed ghosts and improved the cultivation of his ghost servants.

Now, the majority of the Yin energy of "Law Ghost" has been taken by the Ghost Bride. He plans to use the remaining Yin energy to enhance the cultivation of the other ghost servants and underworld officials.

So Zheng Que spoke again, calling out, "Admiring the Immortal Bone."

In the blink of an eye, Mu Xiangu's figure appeared from the mist that filled the hall.

Upon realizing she had once again entered the underworld, the "painted skin" immediately knelt down without a word, repeatedly kowtowing while trying to remain calm, saying, "M-My lord, the ghost bride has already seen the relationship between this humble woman and that human cultivator..."

"This young lady and that human cultivator truly fell in love at first sight, and their feelings were mutual..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que remained calm and unchanged. Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was kowtowing, he opened his palm, which bore the character "令" (command), and aimed it at Mu Xiangu.

The next moment, Mu Xiangu's body was filled with a surge of Yin energy, and her aura continued to rise as her skirt fluttered in the wind.

However, its speed and scale of improvement are far inferior to those of the ghost bride from before.

Even so, Mu Xiangu's spirits lifted.

Her cultivation had reached the peak of the [Scissors Prison], and although she was only a hair's breadth away from the [Iron Tree Prison], she was very clear about the huge gap between them.

But now, she can clearly sense that her current method of increasing yin energy seems to have no limitations or bottlenecks!
This is completely different from when I usually cultivate.

If I continue to improve like this, I will soon reach the [Iron Tree Prison].

Just as she was thinking this, the surging Yin energy around Mu Xiangu gradually subsided. Her cultivation level was still stuck at the peak of the [Scissors Prison], and her realm had not improved. However, she clearly sensed that she had taken a big step forward from the boundary of the [Iron Tree Prison].

Seeing that Mu Xian Gu failed to break through the Iron Tree Prison, Zheng Que was slightly disappointed, but not too surprised.

If he had summoned Mu Xian Gu first, she would most likely have succeeded in entering the [Iron Tree Prison] just like the Ghost Bride...

Unfortunately, the yin energy of one "Law Ghost" was not enough for these two female ghosts at the peak of the [Scissors Prison] to simultaneously enter the [Iron Tree Prison].

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately said, "I am fair in rewarding and punishing, and you have done very well this time."

"If you want to accumulate more merit in the future, you can go and kill evil spirits of the same realm who are deeply sinful."

"Alright, step back!"
