Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 46: Awakening. (Thanks to the immortal friend "Dues Cheese" for the reward! (Third update!)

In the large hall, shouts roared like thunder, and the cold wind outside the breach seemed to suddenly rise in pitch. The shouts were particularly high-pitched and sharp, as if they were scratching something substantial.

As Zheng Que finished speaking, the figure of the Seven-Fingered Bone Hand maintained a "kneeling" posture and quietly disappeared from the fog. The thick fog that suddenly appeared around His Highness also disappeared as if it had never appeared.

Looking at the empty palace again, Zheng Que breathed a sigh of relief. His originally straight sitting posture also relaxed, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the [Book of Life and Death] in front of him.

This dilapidated palace is very effective in scaring off ghosts!

The cultivation level of that "evil" just now was obviously terrifying, but in this hall, just like Qingli, he was so frightened that he could only kneel down and speak...

It’s a pity that all that’s left of this underworld is this dilapidated and decaying hall. If there really were eighteen levels of hell, he would have been more confident in scolding the other party just now!
Thinking of this, Zheng Que's expression suddenly became solemn. The main reason why the town was attacked by this [Evil Shadow Play] this time was that the other party sensed the so-called "opportunity".

Changfu Town is not large and has never been anything special. In the entire town, there are not many things that can be called opportunities.

The big medicinal plant in the mayor's house should be counted as one.

But that is an opportunity for cultivators and has basically nothing to do with ghosts.

And the rest…

In the entire town, apart from his own [Book of Life and Death], he could not think of anything else that could attract the attention of powerful ghosts.

This [evil shadow play] was most likely caused by his [Book of Life and Death]!

However, based on what [Evil Shadow Play] just said, the other party only barely sensed that there was an opportunity in this small town, but did not know what that opportunity was.

When the other party sent "Xiyingzi" to look for opportunities in the town, they met him several times. Even Cui Ni'er had contact with him, but they never found any problems with him.

This means that [Evil Shadow Play] cannot sense his [Book of Life and Death] and the underworld at all!

The fact that the other party was drawn to the town by the [Book of Life and Death] is likely related to the "cause and effect" that Master once talked about...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que took a deep breath. Before this calamity came, he thought that at most he would face a few ghosts of the sixth and seventh levels of the [Tongue-Pulling Hell]. He never imagined that he would face an "evil" that surpassed the [Tongue-Pulling Hell]!
Although he now knows the specific information of the [Evil Shadow Play], if he were to do it again, it would still be very difficult for him to survive without the [Book of Life and Death].

Before the master left the town, this [Evil Shadow Play] had been guarding outside the town. If he escaped from the town in advance, it would be equivalent to delivering the goods directly to the [Evil Shadow Play].

If you stay in the town, you must avoid contact with all "playing shadows", otherwise once you are connected by the "shadow control line", you will definitely die.

But even if you manage to dodge all the "shadows" and flee when the "Evil Shadow Play" descends upon the town, you will still have to face the attack of the "Evil Shadow Play" that will destroy the entire town...

Just as he was thinking this, the black energy between Zheng Que's eyebrows quickly faded away. Finally, the last wisp of black energy sank into the [Book of Life and Death], and his eyebrows calmed down.

However, he did not return to reality immediately, but just like not long ago...

The [Book of Life and Death] began to flip spontaneously again, and the pages quickly turned back to the first page. Then, large amounts of Yin energy as thick as ink emerged, rising into the air, surging and swirling, and quickly collapsed towards the center. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a symbol that looked like an insect and a fish.

It is suspended in the air, like countless insects and fish entangled and intertwined, or like vines winding and hanging in a dense forest, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.

Another decree!
Looking at the freshly issued decree, Zheng Que was slightly startled, and then he realized that there were too many names included in the [Book of Life and Death] tonight, and it could be condensed into multiple decrees!
The next moment, this decree turned into a faint light and was imprinted on Zheng Que's brow.

Zheng Que's eyes went dark and he passed out again.

※※※

Crunch... Crunch... Crunch... The sound of flesh and bones being chewed came into his ears intermittently. Zheng Cheng woke up instantly and opened his eyes suddenly.

What meets the eye are moss-covered rocks, the air is filled with a strong smell of blood and the peculiar stench of carnivores. This is an unfamiliar cave.

Zheng Que stood up from the pile of fallen leaves and looked around.

The cave was not very big, and looked like two rooms. Water was seeping from the cracks in the rocks not far away, and there were traces of animals licking the surrounding moss repeatedly.

A black bear was hung at the entrance of the cave, its belly ripped open and blood flowing everywhere.

Qingli stood in the open space next to the bear's corpse, gnawing on the black bear's internal organs in big mouthfuls.

Zheng Que was stunned at this scene and immediately asked, "Where is this?"

Hearing Zheng Que's voice, Qingli turned around, with fresh blood and minced meat stains on the corners of her mouth. She immediately replied, "On a barren mountain east of Changfu Town."

"It's time for your magic tricks, little human boy."

"I can only bring you here."

Hearing this, Zheng Que nodded slightly. After the [Spiritual Descent Technique] ended, Qingli would immediately fall into a weak period.

The current situation is pretty good. Neither he nor Qingli are injured.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "[Evil Shadow Play]...where is that ghost hand from last night now?"

Last night, [Xie Yingxi] was dragged into the underworld by him and taught a lesson. He has already agreed to be his mount.

Therefore, he is not afraid of encountering [Xie Yingxi] now, but he is afraid that Qingli will take him too far and [Xie Yingxi] will not be able to find him.

While thinking, Qingli replied sinisterly, "I don't know! That old ghost with only bones in his body, one day, I will use it to make soup!"

As he spoke, Qingli's claws were like blades, and he immediately poked several holes in the black bear's body. His red eyes were full of murderous intent.

That old ghost almost sent her to hell!
When my cultivation level improves, I will definitely capture that person and throw him into the frying pan in the underworld!
Hearing this, Zheng Que took a deep breath, immediately stood up and walked out of the cave.

This is a cave located halfway up the mountain. There is a small flat area at the entrance, covered with weeds and some leftover bones.

The hillside below is undulating and winding, with lush greenery and flourishing vegetation everywhere.

Perhaps because of the strong Yin energy around Qingli, the area was unusually quiet at the moment. Not only did no birds or animals approach, even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Zheng Que suddenly walk out of the cave, Qingli followed him out immediately.

Zheng Que looked around, jumped onto the big rock beside him, looked into the distance, and soon saw the outlines of some houses in the west.

That is Changfu Town. It is daytime now, but the town lies quietly in the distance, lifeless and without any sign of life.

After observing for a while, Zheng Que was a little surprised that he did not see the [Evil Shadow Play] in the sky above Changfu Town.

Where did the other party go?
Thinking of this, Zheng Jue immediately said, "Go back to town!"
