Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 375 Long Time No See. (Third Update!)

In the dilapidated palace, Zheng Que opened his eyes and found himself back in the underworld, with the familiar Book of Life and Death and the gavel before him.

He was quite surprised that he had entered the underworld so quickly this time.

When he was cultivating with the female ghost, because the female ghost had too much yin energy, he absorbed the yin energy from the female ghost's body when the cultivation technique was running, which is why he entered the underworld.

But this time, he was cultivating with Gao Yinxia!
Gao Yinxia is a living person, and a disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect. She doesn't have much Yin energy on her body, so how could she have entered the Underworld?

Under normal circumstances, he should have been able to continue cultivating with Gao Yinxia indefinitely!

Thinking of this, Zheng Que frowned slightly, but soon he realized the reason...

Yesterday, Mu Xiangu mentioned to him that the other party had secretly used some methods on Gao Yinxia.

Mu Xiangu is an "evil spirit" of the Iron Tree Prison, and the methods he uses will surely leave a heavy yin energy in Gao Yinxia's body.

Therefore, it must be due to Mu Xiangu's method.

Ok……

Next time I cultivate, I need to ask Mu Xian Gu to remove that technique, otherwise I won't be able to cultivate for long periods of time at all...

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Que sensed his current cultivation level and immediately discovered that he was in an exceptionally good state. He felt an abundance of spiritual energy, and every movement he made seemed to be exceptionally powerful.

This is the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining!

He had just broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and after only one cultivation session with Gao Yinxia, ​​his cultivation level had directly increased to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment!
Zheng Que was momentarily shocked, but quickly calmed down.

"I never expected that following the 'law' would increase my cultivation so quickly!"

"I'll talk to Mu Xiangu again later and see if I can stay in this Flower Path Cave..."

Thinking this to himself, Zheng Que casually flipped through the Book of Life and Death in front of him. Seeing that the number of underworld messengers had not increased, he immediately realized that Mu Xiangu probably had not yet recruited suitable subordinates.

So Zheng Que sat on the lame armchair and began to wait quietly.

※※※

Heavenly Weapon Sect.

Golden light occasionally ripples across a suspended plaza.

Five figures stood in the center of the square.

These five figures possessed extremely powerful auras. They were merely there, doing nothing, yet they gave people a sense of profound stillness and imposing presence, with their oppressive aura crashing down like a raging storm.

The five people seemed to be waiting for something, and behind them were many disciples wearing the uniform of the inner sect of the Heavenly Artifact Sect.

These disciples, dressed in indigo robes with moon-white linings and bronze wristbands, were all at least at the Foundation Establishment stage. They wore the Hundred Crafts Seal, a symbol of the Heavenly Artifact Sect, at their waists. At this moment, they were all neatly dressed, dignified, and standing breathlessly.

Gao Yinxia, ​​who rushed back to her sect, was among them.

Suddenly, she noticed a familiar figure diagonally in front of her. Le You had her hair tied up in a bun with long hairpins inserted, and her temperament was like a winter plum blossom blooming in the frost and snow. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Senior Sister Fu Qingge!
Senior Sister Fu has actually returned to the sect and has been assigned here by the sect.

Gao Yinxia was somewhat surprised, but she immediately asked via telepathy, "Senior Sister Fu, why did the sect suddenly summon us back?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Qingge, who was standing not far from Gao Yinxia, ​​was slightly taken aback. Taking advantage of the fact that no one around her was paying attention, she turned her head and looked at Gao Yinxia with a puzzled expression. She didn't understand why this junior sister, who was not very familiar with her, would suddenly ask her a question. While thinking, Fu Qingge calmly replied through telepathy, "I'm not very sure either. It seems to be related to the Six Sects Competition next year."

A grand competition among the six sects?

Gao Yinxia was puzzled and wanted to ask something more, when a muffled loud noise suddenly came from afar.

boom! boom! boom……

The sound appeared abruptly and approached rapidly from afar, as if some enormous creature was quickly getting closer to the Heavenly Artifact Sect.

Looking down from the floating plaza, the vast land below the massive city, including the mountains and lakes, was trembling violently. Rocks were scattered all over the mountains, startling birds and beasts. The weaker peaks, unable to withstand the continuous tremors, cracked and collapsed, turning into mud and sand that poured down, leaving muddy marks in the mountains and fields.

The lakes on the plains surged with towering waves, countless fish and shrimp leaped out of the water, a sense of terror filled the air, livestock went mad, houses collapsed, and the ground cracked open with fissures of all sizes. Amidst billowing smoke and dust, the smell of sulfur filled the air.

In an instant, the five powerful figures on the floating plaza all looked in one direction.

Boom boom boom...

The enormous commotion was getting closer and closer.

Caught between her fellow disciples, Gao Yinxia quickly saw, at the very limit of her vision, two moving mountains suddenly appearing in the distance.

The two high mountains were shrouded in a thick, scarlet mist, obscuring the view.

As they moved through the mountains, each step caused the ground to shake violently, and the approaching crimson mist filled them with a strong sense of foreboding.

Suddenly, the two mountains stopped, and the continuous roar also came to an abrupt end.

Immediately afterwards, a gigantic corpse hand suddenly emerged from the thick, dense clouds high in the sky.

This corpse hand was entirely pale, almost the same color as the clouds. It was enormous, with the power to blot out the sky and the sun. It was surrounded by a thick aura of corpses, emanating a terrifying aura that made people shudder.

After the corpse hand appeared, it immediately stretched towards the plaza floating above the Heavenly Artifact Sect.

Staring at the enormous corpse hand that covered the entire sky, the disciples in the square were stunned. They subconsciously looked up along the corpse hand and suddenly realized that the corpse hand actually came from an extremely majestic and huge corpse puppet!

Those two towering, moving mountain peaks in the distance are actually the legs of this corpse puppet!
The clouds high in the sky only reached the waist of the corpse puppet.

The crimson mist was the corpse energy inherent in the corpse puppet.

The earth-shattering tremor that just now seemed to threaten to destroy the world was actually caused by its movement.

Just as these disciples were experiencing a surge of emotions, the corpse hand, which had already reached a short distance above the plaza, suddenly stopped.

On the palm of the corpse's hand, as flat as the ground, stood three figures.

The leader wore a gray robe and had his hair tied in a square bun. He was plain-looking with a thin face and incredibly bright, sharp eyes. He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

Behind him stood two cultivators, a man and a woman, side by side. The male cultivator had fair skin, handsome features, and a refined demeanor. He wore a carefree turban, a dark blue round-necked robe, and a jade pendant with nine ghost mothers tied around his neck. He held a folding fan in his hand. The female cultivator wore a palace-style floral crown, with jingling pendants. Nine golden snakes with colorful beads hanging from their hair buns concealed their faces, with only a hint of crimson peeking out from the gaps in the beaded curtain. She stood with her sleeves tucked in, dignified, elegant, and beautiful, yet she was utterly devoid of human warmth, like a puppet.

Seeing this scene, the five powerful cultivators from the Heavenly Artifact Sect stepped forward in unison. The one in the middle smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior Qu, it's been a long time!"
