Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 566 [The Mark of Wrathful Souls] (Second Update!)

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que nodded slightly. He knew very well that Luo Fuyu had encountered cultivators in the early stages of Core Formation.

Even someone like Patriarch Shiqi, who has reached the Core Formation stage, would definitely choose to retreat immediately if he were to face Luo Fuyu head-on.

After all, this is Blood Tong Pass, a place teeming with ghosts!
The Core Formation cultivators who rushed here during the anomaly at Blood Pass all had their own purposes. They would never risk their lives against a [Iron Tree Prison] ghost that could take their lives for a newly built stronghold.

Seeing that all the important matters had been discussed, Zheng Que remembered what Mu Xiangu had told him and immediately asked, "Your [Ten Miles of Crimson Fiend] can be transformed into a 'monster'."

"But I wonder if you have any means to make other ghosts do the same thing?"

Although Zheng Que asked the question, he didn't really expect to get a decent answer.

【Ten Miles of Red Demon】was originally Luo Fuyu’s innate talent. Mu Xiangu’s 【Painted Skin】wasn’t a 【Ghost Bride】, so there was no way for her to learn it.

All he needs now is an answer from Luo Fuyu that he can give to Mu Xiangu.

However, the next moment, Luo Fuyu replied very seriously, "Yes, there is, but I have made a vow that I cannot say."

"If I break this oath, my soul may be scattered to the winds!"

Ok?
Really?

Zheng Que was taken aback and immediately realized that this method of controlling the "strange" might be a technique of Muyou Palace.

He remembered clearly that Liao Zhanbo of Muyou Palace had also devoured "strange things" in his illusion!
Although Luo Fuyu later told him that Liao Zhanbo's method would make him a part of the "strangeness" once it was released, this undoubtedly shows that Muyou Palace may have already mastered the method of controlling the "strangeness".

However, Luo Fuyu had made a vow...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que nodded thoughtfully. Although Luo Fuyu did have a method, it was no different from not having one.

After all, the other party was bound by a vow and could not speak, so asking him would be pointless.

So Zheng Que immediately said, "In that case, I will not ask any further questions."

"You shall remain here and guard this market town."

"I need to go into seclusion for a while to prepare to cultivate these five techniques."

Upon hearing this, Luo Fuyu remained silent, and her figure in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes quietly disappeared from the cultivation room.

Just as Zheng Que was about to get up after seeing that the other person had left, another figure in a yellow dress appeared on another empty futon diagonally opposite.

The newcomer had exquisite features, as if painted on a canvas; he was none other than Mu Xiangu.

After Mu Xiangu appeared, she immediately reached out and tore the "囍" character pasted on the wall.

Immediately afterwards, she extended her divine sense to completely envelop the surroundings, making sure that Luo Fuyu wouldn't overhear what she was about to say. Only then did she look at Zheng Que and ask in a deep voice, "How is it?"

"Did you ask?"

Seeing this, Zheng Que was not surprised and quickly replied, "I asked."

"Luo Fuyu does indeed know a method to manipulate 'strange things'."

"However, she made a vow that she cannot tell."

Upon hearing that there was indeed a method, Mu Xiangu immediately perked up, but upon hearing the rest, she immediately frowned: "A Dao oath?"

"Is this ghost bride really shrewd on the surface but muddle-headed on the inside? Why is she making some kind of vow out of nowhere?"

"You need to think of a way to make her break her vow quickly."

"Anyway, it's just a ghost bride. It doesn't matter if she dies. The key is to find out how she does it."

"If you can do that, I will have all the female cultivators of the Heavenly Artifact Sect come to accompany you!" Hearing Mu Xiangu's shameless promise, Zheng Que's lips twitched slightly. Mu Xiangu's mention of all the female cultivators of the Heavenly Artifact Sect meant having Xue Shuangzi, disguised as a human, impersonate all the female cultivators of the Heavenly Artifact Sect…

Thinking of this, Zheng Que shook his head and said calmly, "I do have a method now, but I don't know if it will work."

"Some preparations are needed before we can begin."

"Here's what you'd like to do: go and capture thirty 'vengeful spirits' from the ninth level of the [Scissors Prison] for me."

"Remember, it must be a 'vengeful spirit'!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiangu did not hesitate and left the cultivation room in a flash, clearly going to capture the "vengeful spirit".

Zheng Que nodded slightly as he watched this scene.

The only solution he could think of for Luo Fuyu's oath was to have Luo Fuyu go to the underworld and reveal the method, in order to try to bypass the backlash of the oath.

Even if it fails, the opponent can be saved by increasing their Yin energy when they suffer the backlash of the Dao oath...

However, this method is risky.

Before using this method, he first let other ghosts try it out.

Only after there are no problems can Luo Fuyu be allowed to use it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que had an idea and took out the Soul-Summoning Banner again, summoning all the ghosts in the banner.

In an instant, a chilling wind howled through the training room, and shadowy ghosts gathered like smoke and clouds, crowding the once spacious room to the point of being completely packed.

Looking at these strange and grotesque ghosts, Zheng Que nodded to himself.

The "vengeful spirits" needed for the [Yin God Devours Vengeance] have already been captured by Mu Xiangu, the [Iron Tree Prison], who personally went there to help him.

He can now begin cultivating the [Wrathful Soul Seal], one of the five techniques.

In a flash, Zheng Li immediately cast a spell and began cultivating the [Wrathful Soul Seal]...

Of the five techniques, the [Wrathful Soul Seal] is the simplest to cultivate.

In just a quarter of an hour, he planted a mark resembling a fiery cage between the eyebrows of a ninth-level [Tongue-Pulling Prison] ghost.

Upon closer inspection, the veins of this mark actually resemble the character "令" (command) written on the palm in the "Ghost Control Technique," except that its structure seems to be more complex.

To the naked eye, the ghost that has been marked with this mark shows no change whatsoever.

Zheng Que wasted no time and then used the Wrathful Soul Seal on the second ghost in the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Hell].

Soon, the second ghost was also successfully marked with a mark resembling a cage of flames.

Zheng Que then cast a series of complex spells. As his true energy was depleted, the two ghosts that had been marked gradually developed an invisible connection between their brows, with the flame-cage-like mark between them.

After completing all the incantations, Zheng Que immediately stood up and slapped down on one of the marked ghosts.

boom! ! !
The ghost was powerless to resist and was instantly reduced to ashes by Zheng Que.

The next moment, the other ghost with the mark between its eyebrows suddenly became extremely ferocious, and its aura soared from the ninth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Hell] to the [Scissors Hell] in the blink of an eye.

Watching this scene, Zheng Que nodded slowly in satisfaction. He had successfully cultivated the [Wrathful Soul Seal]!

Moreover, with this increase in strength, he felt that with just this one technique, he could deal with ghosts at the second level of the [Iron Tree Prison]!
