Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 575 [The Unbreakable Ghost Hand] (First Update!)

The cultivation of the "United Hearts Ghost Hand" requires planting a united heart mark on the palm of both the cultivator and the ghost servant, and then refining them together.

As he pondered, Zheng Que cast a series of complex hand seals, while his internal energy circulated slowly along a specific trajectory.

Compared to the other four spells, the [United Ghost Hands] requires a very high level of taming of the ghost servants.

Of course, all five of his ghost servants had been granted official titles, so there was no need to worry about any backlash.

Before long, Zheng Que followed the steps described in the magic and first planted the Tongxin Zhuyin on one of his palms.

Immediately afterwards, he planted the "Unity Seal" on the palms of the five female ghosts: Qingli, Niannu, Kulan, Shuyunying, and Xue Shuangzi.

Once all the marks were planted, Zheng Que's hand seals changed instantly, and he immediately began refining the six marks.

Time passed slowly, and after two hours, the vital energy pulsating around his body gradually subsided.

Zheng Que looked at his palm, where an ancient mark appeared on the back of his hand. It looked like a vine, shaped like an open hand. Near each finger bone, there were patterns that resembled insects and birds. The patterns on the thumb were particularly complex, like a black jade thumb ring.

The mark blended seamlessly with the skin on the back of his hand, like a naturally formed birthmark, without any abruptness.

The overall style of the pattern is different from the "command" character of the [Ghost Control Technique] and the flame cage mark of the [Wrathful Soul Seal], yet they share an inexplicable similarity.

Apart from this special mark, his palm didn't look particularly special, but when he activated his true energy, an extremely terrifying aura quickly gathered in his palm.

This aura was formed by five pure but different types of Yin energy, along with his own true essence, condensed together in an extremely mysterious way.

This gave him a very peculiar feeling.

The power of his own hand seemed to be greater than his entire strength!

The "United Ghost Hands" technique has been successfully mastered!

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately looked at his arm, which was bound by a golden rope.

Without much hesitation, he quickly activated the [United Ghost Hands] and reached for the rope.

Just now, when this golden rope was binding Qingli and Niannu, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't tear it off. But now, after using the [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand], he only needed to exert a little force to quickly pull the rope off his arms.

Seeing that the [United Hearts Ghost Hand] was unaffected by the rope, Zheng Que did not delay and exerted force again, pulling the rope outward with all his might.

brush!
The next moment, Zheng Que forcibly tore the golden rope off his arm.

But in the blink of an eye, the golden rope, having lost its target, tightened rapidly and began to bind Zheng Que's arm, which had been trained in the [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand].

boom!
Zheng Que slapped the golden rope to the ground with a backhand.

Since no one was activating this magical artifact, it remained silent after falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Zheng Que nodded slightly.

This [United Hearts Ghost Hand] is the most powerful of all the offensive spells he currently possesses.

That Yan Bingyi, who came from a foreign land, is indeed extraordinary to be able to become the teacher of Yin Congyi, a member of the Duke of Dingguo's family. What she teaches is truly excellent.

He has already mastered three of the five techniques taught by the other party.

Any one of these three techniques, taken alone, would give him the strength to challenge the ghosts of the Iron Tree Prison, or even a Core Formation stage cultivator.

He needs Mu Xiangu to help him capture ghost servants before he can continue cultivating the remaining two techniques.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que instructed the five female ghosts beside him to disperse, and he stayed alone in the cultivation room, beginning to circulate the [Transformation Scripture] to restore his true essence. As the technique slowly circulated, the chilling spiritual energy of heaven and earth continuously flowed into his body.

A moment later, Zheng Que opened his eyes and found himself in a dilapidated palace.

He wasn't too surprised to see himself entering the underworld.

Although the [Transformation Scripture] absorbs far less Yin energy than the [Seed of Life Technique], it will still enter the underworld once the Yin energy accumulated in the body reaches a certain level.

As he pondered, Zheng Que raised his hands. On the palm of his left hand was the character "令" (command), and on the back of his right hand were the two characters "同心" (togetherness), which resembled both a bird and an insect.

Looking at the two characters on the back of his right hand, Zheng Que was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the mark of the "Tongxin Ghost Hand"!

In the real world, he didn't recognize these two characters; he could only see that they were a very special mark.

But once he got to the underworld, he was able to clearly recognize the original meaning of those two words.

The mark of the "Hand of Unity" uses the same script as the "Book of Life and Death"!
In fact, the character "令" in the 【御鬼术】 is the same.

As expected, the mark of the [Wrathful Soul Seal] should be the same.

"The marks used in the 'Ghost Control' technique are all characters from the Book of Life and Death?"

"To be precise, it should be the script of the underworld..."

"Then, can I also use the script of the underworld to create new spells?"

Thinking this, Zheng Que slowly shook his head again.

With his current cultivation level and the knowledge of cultivation he has acquired, it is too early for him to create his own techniques.

The most urgent task is to improve our strength as soon as possible...

So Zheng Que turned to the third page of the Book of Life and Death.

On this page, there is an additional record: "Species: Human".

"Real name: Mei Siniang."

Place of origin: the outskirts of Hengzhou, the capital of the Dali Dynasty.

"Lifespan: 728 years, 2 months and 6 days. He died in the early afternoon when he was devoured by a 'weird' creature."

Upon seeing the name, Zheng Que immediately understood that it was the name of the old woman in the Core Formation stage.

However, the name of the [Iron Tree Prison] corpse puppet was not recorded in the [Book of Life and Death].

It seems that in the Book of Life and Death's definition, corpse puppets are equivalent to corpses or puppets and will not be included in the Book of Life and Death.

I wonder if the Yin energy of that corpse puppet has been absorbed by the underworld?

Thinking of this, Zheng Que turned to the second page of the Book of Life and Death, where many more names had been added.

He glanced at them briefly and immediately understood that these names were the "vengeful spirits" of the "Scissors Prison" that made up the "Monster in the Belly".

Compared to other ghosts, the "mysterious" is quite special. The Book of Life and Death does not directly record the name of the "mysterious," but only the "vengeful spirits," or resentful thoughts, or remnants of the souls that make up the "mysterious"...

Therefore, even though "The Devious One in the Belly" has now reached the [Iron Tree Prison] level of cultivation, its name is still not recorded on the third page of the [Book of Life and Death]...
