Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 599 Corpse Explosion. (Second Update!)

A market is under construction.

Yin Congyi opened his eyes and immediately saw rows of newly built houses standing around him, the roads were clean, and the sounds of hammering and banging could be heard from near and far, as if construction was in full swing.

He was holding a compass in his hand, and one hand was still in a hand seal gesture. Judging from the objects placed in front of him, he seemed to be setting up an array.

Yin Congyi was slightly taken aback. Who was he?
What is this place?
"Senior Brother Jing!"

Just then, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Yin Congyi turned around and immediately saw a beautiful girl with a flying fairy bun, wearing a light blue dress and a colorful silk sash around her waist, standing not far away, smiling at him.

He stared at the girl in front of him for a moment, and then he gradually remembered...

I am Jing Zhengjie, a disciple of the rogue cultivator Shi Qi!
The beautiful and approachable girl in front of him was named Yin Hui'er, and she was his fellow disciple.

Just then, Yin Hui'er said with a smile, "Senior Brother Jing, after this immortal examination, you will become an official appointed by the imperial court."

"When the time comes, the fish will leap over the dragon gate, and it will be extraordinary. Don't forget your junior sister!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Congyi snapped out of his daze and replied somewhat slowly and even awkwardly, "Okay, okay..."

Just then, a figure in green robes suddenly appeared in front of the two. The newcomer had a sinister appearance and was none other than Ancestor Shiqi!

Yin Hui'er immediately bowed and respectfully said, "Master!"

Yin Congyi was also preparing to follow along with the others to exchange gifts, but for some reason, a strong sense of resistance welled up inside him.

Before he could think further, Yin Hui'er, who was standing beside him, kept in a bowing posture and urged softly, "Senior brother, quickly bow to Master!"

At the same time, Ancestor Shiqi's gaze was also fixed on him with a gloomy expression. The pressure of the Core Formation stage was overwhelming, and Yin Congyi was momentarily unable to breathe.

However, even with his junior sister urging him on, and even facing a life-or-death crisis, Yin Congyi gritted his teeth and did not utter the words "Master," nor did he bend his back at all.

At this moment, the old ancestor Shiqi was getting a little impatient, so he immediately raised his hand and grabbed Yin Congyi.

As the other party moved, Yin Congyi felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't know what was wrong and quickly thought of a solution.

Just as Patriarch Shiqi's hand was about to touch Yin Congyi, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Yin Congyi's ear: "Break!"

click!
The next moment, the surrounding space suddenly cracked and collapsed like shattered glass, and the market under construction vanished in an instant, revealing a wilderness shrouded in blood mist.

Yin Congyi suddenly woke up, and the black thread connecting his shadow in his vision suddenly broke.

However, the old ancestor Shiqi was already standing directly in front of him, one hand reaching for his head, and the "shadows" around him had already swarmed in like a tide.

Yin Congyi's expression changed slightly. He had just regained consciousness and his true energy hadn't had time to circulate. Seeing that he couldn't dodge it, Ancestor Shiqi's seemingly inevitable grab suddenly and inexplicably reached for the air beside him.

At the same time, the "shadows" that rushed up also passed by Yin Congyi, just managing to avoid him without touching him at all.

Seeing this strange scene, Yin Congyi immediately realized that it was his master who had made a move!

He quickly used his escape technique to create distance between himself and Ancestor Shiqi, while simultaneously transmitting his voice, "Master, could you temporarily block the [Evil Shadow Play] for me?"

"Disciple will go find Zheng Que and retrieve Master's bone incense!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Bingyi's voice reached his ears: "Retreat immediately!" Hearing this, Yin Congyi was slightly taken aback, and said somewhat unwillingly, "But..."

Yan Bingyi's voice rang out again: "Have you forgotten what you just promised your master?"

"When your master tells you to retreat, retreat immediately!"

This time, her voice carried a distinct sense of weakness.

Yin Congyi was taken aback, then immediately realized something was wrong and quickly replied, "Yes!"

Boom boom boom...

The Core Formation female cultivator controlled two [Iron Tree Prison] corpse puppets, fighting against Zheng Que.

Zheng Que continued to use the [United Ghost Hands], causing the two corpse puppets to emit muffled sounds of metal clashing against metal, and the concentration of corpse energy around them dropped sharply.

However, the defensive power of the [Iron Tree Prison] corpse puppet is significantly stronger than that of cultivators of the same realm.

The thin, armless corpse puppet, after being struck twice by Zheng Que's [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand], was already mangled and only half of its body remained, yet it still charged towards him.

The other complete corpse puppet was also hit by the [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand], its heavy armor cracked, and dark green corpse energy kept leaking out, but its steps did not stop at all.

Step, step, step...

Just as Zheng Que was about to strike again, the two corpse puppets charged at him once more. Suddenly, the thin corpse puppet, which was only half a body, swelled up and its speed increased dramatically. It rushed to his side in an instant.

boom! ! !
Without hesitation, the corpse puppet self-destructed, instantly unleashing a torrent of corpse energy. The immense impact swept across the surrounding area, creating a huge crater in the ground. Sand and stones, shrouded in blood mist, surged forth like ocean waves, plunging the area into a state of confusion.

Zheng Que was blown to pieces on the spot.

After a short while, the residual force of the corpse puppet's self-destruction finally dissipated, and dust fell in a flurry. At the spot where Zheng Que had just been, the corpse was gone, and there was only a long, slender ghost covered with sharp teeth.

The "mysterious creature in the belly" slowly stretched out its body, exuding an aura of "weirdness".

The self-destruction of the corpse puppet in [Iron Tree Prison] had no effect on this "weird" creature.

Seeing this, the Core Formation female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief; the problem was finally solved!

Unfortunately, the corpse of a Heavenly Rank Dao Foundation cultivator could have been refined into a top-grade corpse puppet, but the opponent was too troublesome, and she was unable to preserve the opponent's complete corpse.

Also, what's the deal with that "weird" thing?
However, just as the Core Formation female cultivator lowered her guard, she suddenly heard a strange movement behind her.

boom! ! !
Before the Core Formation female cultivator could turn around, she was struck in the back by a powerful palm strike.

Before she could even react, she was blasted a great distance away like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough cough..."

As soon as she landed, the Core Formation female cultivator burst into coughing. She looked up in shock and anger and saw that Zheng Que, who had just been reduced to ashes, was now standing upright in the air. Apart from his aura not being as strong as before, he showed no signs of injury.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Que suddenly opened his mouth, and the "weird" thing that had been hovering in the air instantly transformed into a long, dark shadow, quickly burrowing into Zheng Que's stomach.

Zheng Que swallowed the "weirdness" of the Iron Tree Prison, and his aura suddenly surged, returning to its peak!
