Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 600 They all escaped. (First update!)

Upon witnessing this scene, the Core Formation female cultivator's expression changed drastically.

How can this be? !
The self-destruction of the [Iron Tree Prison] corpse puppet, even if it cannot kill the opponent directly, can at least severely injure them.

Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment, that's just Foundation Establishment cultivation!
But now, the other party is not only completely unharmed, but even their clothes are not torn at all, and there is not a trace of a battle on their body.

This junior of the Heavenly Dao Foundation is far stronger than I imagined!
Thinking of this, the Core Formation female cultivator felt that her chances of survival were slim. She had been wondering why the "evil" of the Iron Tree Prison would obey this mere Foundation Establishment junior.

Now she understands...

This junior in the Foundation Establishment stage possesses the strength to overpower the ghosts of the [Iron Tree Prison]!

Moreover, the opponent also harbors a "mysterious" [Iron Tree Prison] within its body, which it has yet to use.

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, yet he controlled two [Iron Tree Prisons]!
This year's imperial examination has produced such an exceptionally talented candidate!

As long as the other party does not perish prematurely, he will surely become a high-ranking official in the imperial court who governs a region!

In a flash, the Core Formation female cultivator circulated her magic power, forcefully suppressing her injuries, and summoned the remaining corpse puppet of the [Iron Tree Prison] back to her side, already prepared for a desperate fight.

At this moment, Zheng Que was sizing up the Core Formation female cultivator. Seeing that she still had the strength to fight, he was about to continue his attack when he suddenly heard the transmission of [Evil Shadow Play] in his ear: "Zheng Que, something's wrong with that kid."

"I can't stop him, be careful!"

Ok?
Zheng Que frowned. Something was wrong with Yin Congyi.

It was Yan Bingyi who made the move!
His expression changed slightly. If [Evil Shadow Play] couldn't stop the other party, then he certainly couldn't stop him either!
Thinking of this, he didn't care how Yan Bingyi made her move and immediately cast a spell.

The next moment, his soul puppet, along with all the ghost servants he had just summoned from the soul-nurturing bag, exploded without any warning!
Boom boom boom boom! ! !
Amidst the deafening roar, the [Soul Explosion] spells rose and fell, instantly turning the surrounding area into chaos. Mud and sand, mixed with blood mist, surged and churned, obscuring everything. Only the powerful impact, like a tsunami, roared in all directions.

In this entire area, only the "Monster in the Belly" hovered in mid-air, and there was no time to retrieve it.

Yes, Zheng Que escaped!

Furthermore, to prevent Yan Bingyi from using the [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet] to track his whereabouts, he even used the [Soul Explosion Technique] to self-destruct his own soul puppets!
Staring at this inexplicable scene, the Core Formation female cultivator was stunned for a moment, and then without any hesitation, she immediately used her escape technique to flee.

Meanwhile, the [Evil Shadow Play], which was hiding above the clouds, had already fled a hundred miles away. It didn't even have time to retract its "play shadow" before it retreated while sending a telepathic message to Zheng Que!
That aura just now was from a high-level cultivator with terrifying cultivation, who was making a move in the shadows.

Although that aura was only fleeting and quickly disappeared, the indescribable sense of oppression was unmistakable.

Apart from that great being in the underworld, that was the most terrifying being it had ever seen in terms of cultivation!

What bad luck!

Why do I always encounter cultivators with such powerful backgrounds?
Thinking this, [Shadow Play] fled even faster...

※※※

Bloodstained Tongguan Pass.

The blood mist, shrouded in malevolent energy, retreated with a whooshing sound.

Yin Congyi's clothes fluttered as he fled at full speed.

Although there was nothing behind him and no "shadow play" chasing after him, he knew how terrifying the [Evil Shadow Play] was just now, and showed no intention of slowing down.

After he had traveled quite a distance, Yan Bingyi's voice finally rang in his ears: "It's alright now."

Upon hearing this, Yin Congyi breathed a sigh of relief and finally stopped slowly in front of an old tree.

After calming his breathing slightly, he said with great remorse, "Master, I'm sorry, I've dragged you down..." Yan Bingyi replied calmly, "It has nothing to do with you."

"With your current cultivation level, it's not a bad thing that you can fight against the 'evil' of the [Iron Tree Prison].

"only……"

At this point, Yan Bingyi seemed a little hesitant. She paused slightly, but ultimately did not explain. She simply continued, "That Zheng Que is very strange."

"Don't provoke him again until you become a true Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation cultivator."

"That Shadow Play of the Iron Tree Prison is similar to the previous Rouge Demon; there are no signs of enslavement on its body at all."

"Zheng Que was able to command the [Evil Shadow Play], so he must have used methods other than magic."

Methods other than magic?
Yin Congyi was slightly taken aback, and immediately asked, "Is it 'law'?"

Yan Bingyi directly denied it: "It's not 'Law'."

"It's somewhat similar to the [Nine Netherworld Treasures], but since I currently lack a physical body and my senses have significantly diminished, I cannot be certain."

As they were talking, a figure streaked across the sky above Yin Congyi's head like a shooting star, crashing straight into a cliff not far away.

boom! !

The figure smashed a large crater into the cliff, causing countless birds to take flight in fright, snakes and insects to scurry away, and plants to break. The figure, covered in debris, slid down the cliff, rolled a few times, and then lay still.

Upon seeing this scene, Yin Congyi immediately recognized it as the Core Formation female cultivator from before!
The other party appears to be seriously injured.

Without any hesitation, Yin Congyi immediately fled towards the spot where the Core Formation female cultivator had fallen.

Soon, he arrived at the foot of the cliff. The cliff was covered with lush vegetation, but a pit had been forcibly smashed by the Core Formation female cultivator, exposing the mud and sand inside. The remaining impact caused the sand and gravel to continue sliding down, making the vegetation at the foot of the cliff sway like raindrops.

The Core Formation female cultivator lay on her side amidst the sand, gravel, and weeds, blood still oozing from the corner of her mouth. Her beautiful face was as pale as paper, her breath weak, and the rise and fall of her chest barely perceptible; she appeared to be on the verge of death.

Yin Congyi immediately stepped forward to check the other person's injuries. As soon as he took the pulse, he frowned.

This female cultivator at the Core Formation stage showed no visible external injuries, but her body was filled with dense Yin energy and her pulse was extremely erratic. If she hadn't been at the Core Formation stage, she would probably have already died!
Realizing the severity of her injuries, Yin Congyi frowned even more. This Core Formation female cultivator had just helped him, so he couldn't just leave her like this.

Thinking this, he immediately took out a healing pill brimming with vitality from his storage bag, preparing to perform the treatment.

However, just as the pill was taken out, Yan Bingyi's voice rang in his ears again: "This female cultivator was hit by two [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hands]."

"One of them was a direct hit, and most of the power was blocked by her magic. Only some of her meridians were injured, but this is not a big problem for her cultivation level. She can recover after a short time by nurturing them with her magic power."

"The problem lies in the second line, in the back of the heart."

"When they were infected, they were completely unprepared."

"With his peak early stage Core Formation cultivation, although his life is not in danger, his foundation will definitely be damaged if he is not treated in time."

"So, if you want to save her now, you need to use the method I taught you before to draw out the residual Yin energy of the [Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand] from her body."

"Then, use this mid-grade Rejuvenation Pill, along with other foundation-strengthening pills, to give it to her."

"After he wakes up, we will need to carefully nourish and soothe his entire body's meridians..."

Upon hearing this, Yin Congyi was slightly taken aback, then said, "Thank you for the reminder, Master!"
