Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 568 [The Yin God Devours Resentment] (Second Update!)

[Yin Spirit Devours Resentment] - Successfully cultivated!

Zheng Que breathed a long sigh of relief and carefully examined the "weird" thing in front of him. It was swirling and piled up, with its top raised high, as if it were about to pounce. Its mouth, full of sharp teeth, opened and closed, exuding a sinister feeling. It was huge and majestic. Although it had no eyes, the top of its head was slightly lowered, as if it was looking down at its master on the ground.

The sinister aura emanating from this creature is even stronger than that of Xue Shuangzi at the peak of the [Scissors Prison] technique.

However, most of the "strange and bizarre" things are just confused thinking and don't easily develop intelligence.

This "monster inside the belly" not only lacks intelligence, but also lacks thought.

Everything was refined by this technique during the process of [Yin God Devouring Resentment].

Now, this "monster in the belly" only has the instinct to kill and obedience to its master.

Of course, this obedience is based on the [Ghost Control Technique] he used on those thirty "vengeful spirits," which has now all been refined into the body of this "weird" creature.

Under normal circumstances, this "monster inside the belly" would absolutely obey his commands.

However, if there are special methods that can destroy the blood seal on the "Demon in the Belly", this technique must be used with caution.

For example, his Soul-Summoning Banner is actually very effective against the [Ghost Control Technique].

The summoning wind of the soul-summoning banner can forcibly draw in ghost servants who already have masters, making them ghost servants of the banner.

Of course, the Soul-Summoning Wind is only effective on ghost servants of lower cultivation levels; it has no effect on "devils within the belly".

Moreover, after being refined by the [Yin Spirit Devouring Resentment], the bloodstains on the "Demon in the Belly" are no longer ordinary bloodstains. Common methods that can restrain the [Ghost Control Technique] may not be effective against the "Demon in the Belly"...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately cast a spell with his hand and opened his mouth to suck hard at the freshly baked "weird creature".

The next moment, this enormous "weird" creature was instantly locked in by a powerful suction force. Its top seemed to melt, turning into a pitch-black shadow, like a long river flowing backward, and disappeared into Zheng Que's mouth.

The icy aura surged endlessly, and the "monster in the belly" collapsed like a sand tower. Its enormous body continuously disintegrated into a river of shadows, which were swallowed back into Zheng Que's belly in the blink of an eye.

As the "mysterious" substance entered his stomach, Zheng Li immediately felt a significant increase in the power within his body.

He immediately stood up, and with a slight thought, his body moved at an incredible speed, instantly passing through walls, through the many barriers in the market, and even through the array, appearing directly outside the market.

Looking at the vast blood mist all around, Zheng Que nodded slightly.

This is a ghostly technique called "Hidden Ghost Travel" or "Yin Spirit Travel," which is one of the methods following "Yin Spirit Devours Resentment."

Next, Zheng Que suddenly turned his head and locked onto a [Scissors Prison] ghost that was out of sight.

The Blood Pass is very different now than before. Ordinary means of perception are greatly restricted, even divine sense is no exception.

But this innate talent of "deviousness within the belly" allows him to lock onto his prey from a distance, even when he is out of sight.

To be precise, as long as it is within a certain area, he can sense whether it is a living person or a ghost, as soon as it opens its mouth!

Without hesitation, Zheng Que extended a finger and pointed it in the direction where the ghost was locked.

Whoosh!
A thick, sharp stream of black energy shot out, slicing through the blood mist like a blade, and hurtled away.

This is the "Netherworld Finger," a technique he learned from Shu Yunying.

But right now, this black aura is much larger, containing a mixture of true essence and yin energy. The true essence is pure and vibrant, while the yin energy is surging and powerful. The two seem to be fused together but are not quite, creating a formidable and imposing force.

Both its speed and power are significantly greater than before! Boom!!

A deafening roar immediately followed where the [Netherworld Finger] landed.

At the same time, the [Scissors Prison] ghost that he had locked onto also completely disappeared from his perception.

Zheng Li immediately used his escape technique and fled in that direction.

The blood mist rushed past his ears, and a cold wind blew past his clothes. Before long, he stopped beside a fresh, large pit. Smoke and dust rose from the pit, mixed with yin energy and evil aura, swirling and billowing.

In the middle of the pit, a strangely shaped body was transforming into wisps of yin energy, roaring and dissipating.

Zheng Que nodded as he watched this scene unfold.

He easily killed a ghost from the [Scissors Prison] without even seeing its face.

The effect of this [Yin Spirit Devours Resentment] is truly extraordinary.

"In some ways, this technique is similar to the [Spirit Descent Technique]."

"I can now use both my own true essence and the power of 'Deception in the Belly'."

"However, the [Spirit Descent Technique] has flaws, and the way it enhances strength and spells while in the 'Spirit Descent' state is extremely crude."

"The [Yin God Devours Resentment] can balance a cultivator's true essence and 'weird' yin energy, which not only greatly improves my strength but also multiplies the power of the spells I cast."

"Most importantly, this is just one of the functions of [Yin Spirit Devouring Resentment]..."

Thinking of this, Zheng Que turned his head and looked in another direction, locking onto a ghost once again.

Without any delay, he fled directly towards the direction of the ghost.

After a short while, Zheng Que tested all the effects of [Yin Shen Devouring Resentment] and, after confirming that there were no doubts, returned to the market.

Of the five techniques he obtained from Yan Bingyi, he has now successfully mastered [Yin God Devouring Resentment] and [Wrathful Soul Seal].

Of the remaining three spells, [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand] cannot be used on the same ghost servant as [Wrathful Soul Seal].

Therefore, when he cultivates the [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand], he can no longer use the ghosts in the Soul-Summoning Banner, but should instead choose the five female ghosts: Qing Li, Nian Nu, Ku Lan, Shu Yun Ying, and Xue Shuang Zi.

Luo Fuyu, Mu Xiangu, and [Evil Shadow Play] are all far more powerful than him, so he cannot be chosen for the time being.

Linghu Yuniang, on the other hand, had too low a cultivation level and had never received an imperial decree, so she could not be chosen.

As for the Blood Gaze Technique and the Demon Soul Substitute, the cultivation of these two techniques is relatively less complicated than that of the Yin God Devouring Resentment Technique and the Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand Technique; they only require a little more time.

With this plan in mind, Zheng Que walked around the market and called Xue Shuangzi, Ku Lan, and Shu Yunying into the cultivation room.

Qingli and Niannu were not in the market at the moment, but that didn't matter.

Because Qingli is the main soul of the Soul-Summoning Banner, and Niannu is also a ghost within the banner, they only need to activate the Soul-Summoning Banner to forcibly summon back the remaining two female ghosts.

Thinking of this, Zheng Li immediately took action.

Several hours passed, and the soul-summoning banner was even repeatedly activated, but the two female ghosts still did not return.

Zheng Que frowned slightly. It seemed that something had happened to Qing Li and Nian Nu!
