Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 489 Reborn? (Second Update!)
Yan Dong suddenly opened his eyes and found himself sitting in a somewhat familiar main hall. At the head of the table sat an elderly cultivator, opposite him a beautiful female cultivator dressed as a lady and holding an ivory fan. Beside the female cultivator sat a young cultivator with a deep and composed aura, and below him was also a young cultivator dressed in luxurious attire.

His gaze swept over the four people, and their names immediately came to mind: Liao Zhanbo, Song Jiaoyin, Zheng Que, and Yin Congyi.

Looking at this familiar scene, Yan Dong was slightly stunned. What was going on?

Didn't I just encounter a powerful enemy and self-destruct to take them down with me?

Why am I still alive?

and many more!

This is... the "strange" place in Xue Tong Pass during the Immortal Trial!
Song Jiaoyin, Zheng Que, and Yin Congyi...

They were all candidates who participated in the immortal examination back then!

The man in the main seat, Liao Zhanbo, although not a candidate for the imperial examination, has a powerful background and is suspected to be a disciple of one of the six major sects.

I've been... reborn?!
Thinking of this, Yan Dong suddenly noticed that he, Song Jiaoyin, and the other three were also sitting in a round-backed chair. All five of them were silent, but seemed to be engaged in some kind of fierce struggle. The atmosphere in the entire main hall was extremely stiff.

Yan Dong quickly remembered that the five of them were currently vying for a fragment of the "Law".

Yes!

He remembered the fight. Although Yin Congyi came from the Duke of Dingguo’s mansion and had many tricks up his sleeve, he entered the “strange” with the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining in order to achieve the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment. He was the one with the lowest cultivation level among the five people present. Moreover, he had been eroded by the rules due to his previous exploration, so he only had one fragment on his body. Therefore, he was defeated by Liao Zhanbo not long after, and Liao Zhanbo also took away that only fragment.

This person later caused quite a stir. He had a noble bloodline and amazing talent. He originally had a great chance of building a Heavenly Dao Foundation, but he lacked a bit of luck, so he failed the Immortal Examination and perished in the "Strange Things" midway, which made some people who appreciate talent feel very sorry.

The second to lose was Zheng Que.

Zheng Que was the complete opposite of Yin Congyi. He came from a humble background but possessed a very powerful ghost servant. However, although his ghost servant was extraordinary, its own cultivation level was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, after Yin Congyi's fragments were taken away, he became Liao Zhanbo's next target.

However, Zheng Que was quite stubborn. He fought hard for a long time, but when he finally realized he was no match for Liao Zhanbo, he turned around and gave all the fragments to himself so that Liao Zhanbo wouldn't benefit from him...

This was also the main reason why he was able to win the battle for the fragments back then!

“Zheng Que…”

"In our past life, we were competitors. In this 'strange' place, you helped me a great deal, but in the end, you lost all the fragments and perished..."

"I have always regretted this matter. After the immortal examination, I originally wanted to give back to your family and friends and made a special trip to your hometown, only to find out that your hometown had been plagued by ghosts and had long since disappeared."

"The path to enlightenment is long and arduous, rife with intrigue and backstabbing. Even blood relatives and fellow disciples often harbor jealousy and scheming. Your crucial assistance at this critical moment is all the more precious, yet I have failed to repay you in the slightest. Ultimately, this matter has become a demon in my heart..."

"In this life, I will change the course of events and prevent you from dying again! I will also prevent the regrets of the past from happening again!"

Thinking of this, Yan Dong turned to look at Liao Zhanbo and immediately snorted coldly.

This Liao Zhanbo, disguised as a rogue cultivator who came to Xue Tong Pass in search of a chance to form his core, is actually very mysterious.

Although he successfully seized the "law" of this place with Zheng Que's help in his previous life, he was unable to keep Liao Zhanbo, allowing him to escape from Xue Tong Pass, and he never saw him again afterward.

After the Immortal Examination, when Yan Dong was rising rapidly in the court, he also used his status and power to conduct a lot of investigations into Liao Zhanbo. In the end, all the clues pointed to the six major sects.

Until he was finally forced to self-destruct by a powerful enemy, the entire incident was also subtly orchestrated by the six major sects...

"Back then, Zheng Que was killed by this Liao Zhanbo."

"In my past life, Liao Zhanbo escaped too quickly; I couldn't catch him." "In this life, let's see how you escape now!"

"The same applies to the six major sects!"

"I will take back everything that is rightfully mine!"

With this thought in mind, Yan Dong immediately took action.

Of the five, Liao Zhanbo originally had the highest cultivation level and had collected the most fragments, making him the strongest.

However, with his experience from his rebirth, Yan Dong could easily overcome any challenge he faced at this moment.

Soon, Yan Dong took three of the four fragments from Liao Zhanbo's body.

"Yan, Yan Dong! How are you so strong?!"

Liao Zhanbo was no longer calm. He stared straight at Yan Dong, his voice filled with disbelief.

Yan Dong snorted coldly, offering no explanation, and the instant he took the last fragment from the other party, he immediately struck out with his palm.

boom! !

The next moment, Liao Zhanbo didn't even have time to utter a sound before his body was completely destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Dong looked at Yin Congyi and Song Jiaoyin, showing no intention of holding back, and took four fragments from the two of them one after another.

Seeing Yan Dong's astonishing strength, Zheng Li immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, I can give you the fragment, but you must let Fellow Daoist Song Jiaoyin go."

Yan Dong immediately nodded: "Don't worry! Fellow Daoist Zheng, I know you are deeply in love with Fellow Daoist Song, and I won't hurt her."

As he spoke, he immediately looked at Song Jiaoyin, his gaze turning cold, and warned her in a chilling voice, "Zheng Que is my brother. For his sake, I will let you go today."

"Remember this: from now on, you must serve Fellow Daoist Zheng well and not have any improper thoughts!"

"Otherwise, I will make sure the entire Song family of Qinzhou suffers a terrible fate!"

Next, Yan Dong obtained the twelve fragments very smoothly, and just like in his previous life, he formed his core on the spot...

※※※

In the restored main hall, Liao Zhanbo, Song Jiaoyin, and Yan Dong sat in chairs, their expressions shifting.

Zheng Que was focused, fully controlling the illusion.

At the same moment, Yan Dong's face changed rapidly, from fierce hatred to beaming joy, revealing intense emotions.

As Zheng Que closed his eyes, he felt the sixth character in his mind growing stronger and more complete, and he couldn't help but nod to himself.

Once the sixth character is completed, he will be able to obtain the fifth fragment.

Yan Dong is now deeply immersed in an illusion, but he thinks he has been reborn... The "rule" of Wanshan Temple alone cannot achieve such an effect.

This is precisely the effect of his "law" after piecing together the four fragments within this "weirdness"!
Just then, a cold and authoritative voice suddenly entered his ears: "Here's the fragment. I'll borrow your 'Law' for a while!"
