Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 412 Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation. (First Update!)

what?
Zheng Que was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had been tricked!
In a flash, he stood up and was about to speak when Qingli spoke first: "The rules were clearly stated before the battle."

"A win is a win."

"If you lose, you lose."

"Everything else is just an excuse!"

"Alright, you defeated human brat, do you submit or not?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que immediately felt that these words sounded very familiar, and then he remembered that these were the words he had said after defeating Qing Li during their first battle...

The other party changed just a few words!

That Qing Li is so shameless!

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately lectured in a serious tone: "Qingli, our competition is to verify what we have learned, comprehend the Great Dao, and thus gain more in the path of cultivation, and also to solidify our foundation and prepare for future progress."

"Your competitive and unscrupulous methods are truly unbecoming of a great person."

"Such a reversal of priorities and the pursuit of victory without any bottom line is a complete misguided path."

"Ultimately, this is because your perspective is too narrow. Little do you know..."

???

Qingli was stunned. She hadn't expected this human brat to be so shameless! Such a good actor!

She immediately wrote down Zheng Que's entire explanation so she could use it later...

Immediately afterward, before Qingli could refute him, Zheng Que quickly said, "...Out of consideration for the relationship between master and servant, I will say this much."

"Alright, go down and reflect on your actions."

"Call Kulan over."

Upon hearing this, Qingli snapped out of her daze, snorted coldly, flicked her sleeve, and stormed out of the spell testing room.

After leaving the house, she returned to the hall, and while hanging herself back in her original position on the beam, she said to the withered orchid beside her, "That human brat wants you to come over."

Without hesitation, Ku Lan immediately got up and walked towards the spell testing room.

As soon as the figure in black with a black umbrella entered the spell testing room, Niannu, who was also hanging from the beam next to him, immediately asked in a low voice, "Lord Qingli, Lord Zheng Que's strength has greatly improved."

"I wonder if Lady Qingli won or lost in her sparring match with Lord Zheng Que just now?"

Upon hearing this, Qingli smiled dismissively and replied arrogantly, "Of course I won!"

"That human child is utterly vulnerable."

"I haven't even used my full strength yet, and he's already fallen to the ground, begging me to show mercy..."

※※※

Spell testing room.

Zheng Que sat cross-legged on the ground, exhaling slowly.

Although he won the battle with Qingli just now, he consumed a lot of his true energy.

Therefore, at this moment he is circulating the [Transformation Scripture] while waiting for Kulan to arrive.

Not long after, Ku Lan floated in, stopping in front of him. She respectfully asked, "Young Master, what brings you here?" Zheng Que paused his cultivation, looked up at Ku Lan, and replied briefly, "I need to recover my true energy first. You and I will spar later..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ku Lan suddenly rushed over and pushed him to the ground.

Zheng Que was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to what was happening, he saw Ku Lan already impatiently untying his belt...

"Young master, you've fallen under an illusion!"

"Young master, don't worry, everything you're seeing now is all an illusion!"

"I was actually healing your wounds, young master!"

While speaking rapidly, Ku Lan's hands never stopped, and in an instant, she stripped Zheng Que naked. Her pale and delicate face was full of greedy smiles.

This evil human cultivator was at his weakest moment, as his true essence had not yet recovered!
How could she possibly miss such a golden opportunity?

※※※

After some time, Zheng Que opened his eyes and was greeted by the familiar dilapidated palace.

The Book of Life and Death and the gavel were placed in front of him as usual.

Zheng Que sat in the crippled armchair and glanced at the Book of Life and Death spread out in front of him.

The first page clearly shows a significant increase in the number of names.

He glanced at them briefly and confirmed that these were the "vengeful spirits" he had casually enslaved during his previous battle with Dainanji...

“Using the inner core of a ghost to build a foundation can enhance the power of spells…”

"However, the way Ghost Pill Foundation Building enhances spells should be different from that of Foundation Building with Heavenly Treasures."

"In these battles, my Dao foundation has been enhanced in terms of [Ghost Control Technique], [Soul Explosion Technique], [Blood Skull Technique], [Phantom Escape Technique], [Yin-Trapping Curse]...!"

"Moreover, it's not just about enhancing the power of spells, but also about causing certain changes in spells, making them difficult for opponents to defend against."

"However, the Dao Foundation cannot be strengthened by the [Flowing Cloud Guidance] and [Heavenly Wheel Profound Fire Technique]."

"The Soul Searching Technique, Sound Transmission Technique, Sky Maneuvering Technique, Illusion-Dispelling Technique, and Golden Cicada Armor have not yet been tested using the Dao Foundation..."

Zheng was carefully reviewing the battle. His Dao foundation and the spells he could currently enhance all seemed to be somewhat related to ghosts.

[Ghost Control Technique] After being strengthened by the Dao Foundation, it can be used on multiple ghost targets at the same time.

Furthermore, as long as the ghost's cultivation level does not exceed his, he can easily refine it.

With the enhancement of the Dao Foundation, the power of the [Soul Explosion Technique] has been greatly increased!
Back when he was at Wanshan Temple, he used the Soul Explosion Technique when he fought against Chen Zhentao of Xuanyuan Pavilion. However, that time, the opponent simply blocked the move with a talisman. Later, he managed to exhaust the opponent's talismans and then used the Soul Explosion Technique with an added decree, which severely injured the opponent.

But now, the soul explosion of the same [Tongue-Pulling Hell] ghost, enhanced by his Dao Foundation, can directly and severely injure Dai Nanji, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage, and also hurt Qing Li, who is in the [Scissors Hell]...

[Blood Skull Technique] With the enhancement of his Dao foundation, he can parasitize his opponent.

After being enhanced, the [Phantom Escape Technique] leaves behind a lifelike phantom image on the spot each time it is used.

The enhanced [Yin-Trapping Spell] allows the ghosts that died in the Yin Array to reform into physical form...

In contrast, his Dao foundation was completely ineffective against very orthodox techniques like [Flowing Cloud Guidance] and [Heavenly Wheel Profound Fire Technique]...
