Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 573 has been recorded. (First update!)

At this moment, the fiery cage mark between the brows of the "fierce spirit" of the [Iron Tree Prison] slowly subsided and eventually disappeared.

As the mark faded, the aura of the "evil spirit" also quickly weakened, like a punctured ball.

In the blink of an eye, they fell from the Iron Tree Prison back to the Scissors Prison.

Watching this scene, Zheng Que nodded slightly. The more ghost servants that die with the [Wrathful Soul Seal], the stronger the remaining ghost servants become. For cultivators who have mastered a large number of ghost servants, it is indeed a very useful technique.

However, it lasted a short time.

Moreover, the more layers are added, the shorter the time becomes.

Before thirty breaths had even passed, the strength of this "fierce spirit" had already returned to its initial state...

click!
Just then, the "fierce spirit" of the [Scissors Prison] suddenly shattered without warning, turning into streams of yin energy that scattered in all directions.

woohoo hoo...

The eerie atmosphere, accompanied by the howling wind, swept past, and in the blink of an eye, the soul was scattered, leaving only a faint chill in the place.

Zheng Que was immediately surprised. After thinking about it carefully, he quickly realized that the "fierce soul" had increased its strength too much, exceeding the limit that its soul body could bear.

Therefore, as soon as the effect of [Wrathful Soul Seal] ended, the soul was immediately annihilated...

If he had summoned a few more ghost servants, raising the "fierce spirit's" strength by a few more minor realms, the "fierce spirit" might have been overwhelmed and exploded by the power of the [Wrathful Soul Seal] before its effects wore off!
"The more ghost servants the [Wrathful Soul Seal] technique has, the stronger its power becomes."

"But it seems that the effects of this technique cannot be stacked indefinitely."

"The Ghost Servant's strength has increased too much, and its soul body will be unable to withstand the power of the [Wrathful Soul Seal] first."

"Therefore, the cultivation level of the ghost servant itself determines the upper limit of this technique..."

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately walked towards Qing Li and Nian Nu.

The two female ghosts were still unconscious, and the ropes binding them showed no sign of loosening, with the golden threads inside flickering with a faint glow.

Zheng Que first activated the Soul-Summoning Banner, directly casting the Soul-Summoning Wind upon Qing Li and Nian Nu.

The powerful wind swept towards the two female ghosts on the ground. However, when it touched the rope mixed with gold threads, the power of the wind dissipated like snow meeting the sun, instantly turning into an ordinary gust of yin wind.

Seeing that the Soul-Summoning Banner could not forcibly take Qingli and Niannu into its grasp, Zheng Que then used the [Ghost Control Technique]. However, the spell was also hindered by the rope, preventing him from taking the two female ghosts into his palm.

Zheng Que frowned slightly, then reached out and pulled directly at the rope.

Touching the rope with my fingertips, I didn't feel anything unusual. Apart from its rather luxurious appearance, it looked like an ordinary rope, and its texture was even quite soft.

However, after observing for a while, he couldn't see any knots in the rope. It was as if the rope was a single, natural component that bound the two female ghosts tightly together.

Seeing this, Zheng Que didn't delay. He grabbed a section of rope between Qing Li and Nian Nu and pulled hard, trying to use brute force to break the bondage.

But after he pulled for a while, the rope didn't loosen at all. Instead, his own hands, for some reason, were also tied inside.

Zheng Que was stunned.

He could feel that he couldn't use any true energy with his hand that was tied up.

This rope seems to be a very good magical artifact.

I wonder if it was made by the Heavenly Artifact Sect? If it is a magical artifact from the Heavenly Artifact Sect, then it's such a pity...

Thinking this, Zheng Que immediately cast a spell with his other hand.

Qingli and Niannu were both bound by ropes and were originally unaffected by external magic, but at this moment, Zheng Que's hand was also tied to the two female ghosts, so they were together.

Therefore, the moment Zheng Que cast the spell, Qing Li and Nian Nu's bodies immediately began to partially deform. The deformed parts were the parts that had come into contact with Zheng Que, and the deformation began to extend along the palm of Zheng Que's hand that had been helped, towards his body.

As this extension continued, colorful patterns began to appear on the back of Zheng Que's hands and arms.

After these patterns appeared, they quickly spread all over Zheng Que's body, making him look extremely strange.

The next moment, a head grew out of Zheng Que's left and right shoulders, both pale and beautiful, with a purplish ligature mark on their necks. They were Qing Li and Nian Nu.

This is [Spiritual Descent Technique]!
The [Spirit Descent Technique] can forcibly possess a ghost servant, and in the current situation, it has become a means of recalling the ghost servant.

brush!
Just as Qingli and Niannu were freed, the rope, which had been very quiet, suddenly tightened, binding Zheng Que's entire arm tightly.

At the same time, Zheng Que suddenly felt his arm completely lose its strength, unable to exert any power, and his true energy could not circulate.

He frowned, but instead of touching the rope with his other hand, he continued walking toward the alchemy furnace, which was about two zhang tall, in the middle of the cave.

At this moment, Qingli and Niannu gradually woke up. Qingli looked around and, realizing her current situation, immediately shouted angrily, "Where is that damned old hag?!"

"How dare you launch a sneak attack on your grandma! You're courting death!"

"A mere Core Formation stage cultivator dares to provoke a chosen one like me? This is utterly outrageous!"

"Human brat, quickly let your aunt control your body! Your aunt is going to take revenge right now!"

Hearing Qing Li's furious voice, Zheng Que calmly transmitted his voice, "Mu Xiangu went to chase after that Core Formation cultivator."

"Also, you were just tied to the ground and almost turned into a pill by that Core Formation Powder."

“I have recorded all of these using the image jade slip.”

"If you dare call me a human brat again, I'll show the contents of the image jade slip to Shu Yunying and Ku Lan every day."

Upon hearing this, Qingli was stunned. Her expression, which had been extremely furious, froze briefly before turning into one of utter astonishment.

She, a dignified ghost destined by heaven, a prodigy among ghosts, a future ghost immortal... was almost refined by an old hag of the human race. If this got out, where would she put her face?

Moreover, it was shown to her few arch-enemies?

This human brat is truly wicked!

Whatever!

For the sake of one's lifelong reputation, a moment of forbearance is nothing.

From now on, I won't say it to their face, but will only refer to them as "human brat" behind their backs...

So Qingli immediately fell silent, and didn't even mention revenge again.

After all, what are all those messy things compared to the face of this destined ghost?
