Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 614 Reforging. (First Update!)

Thinking of this, Zheng Li immediately opened the Soul Nourishing Bag, intending to put the "Demon in the Belly" directly into it.

However, after the Soul Nourishing Bag was opened, no matter how he tried to activate it, the "Demon in the Belly" did not react at all.

Zheng Que frowned immediately. When the "Demon in the Belly" had just broken through to the [Iron Tree Prison], he had used the Soul Nourishing Bag to collect this "Demon".

However, he did not collect it directly at the time. Instead, he first used an ordinary ghost servant to swallow the "Demon in the Belly" into his belly, and then used the Soul Nourishing Bag to collect the ordinary ghost servant.

But given the current situation, he really has to let a ghost servant swallow this "monster in the belly".

The "Demon in the Belly" will immediately devour the ghost servant from inside.

After consuming the ghost servant, "The Devourer in the Belly" regained his power and fought him again!
With this thought in mind, Zheng Que then used the [Ghost Control Technique] on the "Demon in the Belly" in an attempt to capture it in his palm.

Soon, the [Ghost Control Technique] also failed.

Each of the "vengeful spirits" that make up this "monster in the belly" has his blood mark of the [Ghost Control Technique] on it, but after these blood marks are refined together, the [Ghost Control Technique] can no longer control them, only the [Yin God Devours Vengeance] technique can.

Seeing that neither of these two conventional methods could bring the "Demon in the Belly" back, Zheng Que pondered for a moment. He could actually carry the "Demon in the Belly" back directly, but the Yin energy in Xue Tong Pass was thick and heavy, and there was also a lot of evil energy mixed in with it. If he didn't find a way to isolate the "Demon in the Belly" from the Yin energy and evil energy around it as soon as possible, the opponent would recover quickly in this environment and fight him again.

Moreover, if any ghost with its mouth open appears along the way, the "Monster in the Belly" can still escape...

After pondering for a while, Zheng Que took a deep breath, opened the Soul Nourishing Bag again, and summoned a charred black [Scissors Prison] ghost servant from it.

He brought only three ghost servants with him this time.

The first ghost servant was just devoured after being parasitized by the "Devil in the Belly".

He now controls the second ghost servant.

The charred black [Scissors Prison] summoned from the Soul-Nourishing Bag is the third ghost servant. It is a "vengeful spirit" and stands by the side after appearing, waiting for orders.

Next, Zheng Que did not immediately assign tasks to the ghost servant. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, looked at the "Demon in the Belly" lying motionless on the ground, and began to cast a series of spells.

As his aura changed, Zheng Que suddenly opened his mouth and forcefully inhaled at the "monster in the belly".

The "Demon in the Belly," along with the five ghostly hands that suppressed it, all transformed into a long, gray-black rainbow and were sucked into its belly.

When the "monster in the belly" was outside, it was already unable to move, but once inside Zheng Que's belly, it immediately began to stir.

Zheng Que circulated his true energy, commanding the five [United Ghost Hands] and the [Yin God Devouring Resentment] technique to forcefully suppress the "devouring evil in his abdomen".

At the same time, he turned to look at the third ghost servant, opened his mouth again, and cast the [Yin God Devours Resentment] technique.

Whoosh!
The third ghost servant was swallowed by Zheng Que in the blink of an eye, just like he had done.

Yes, he can't take the "Demon in the Belly" back directly now, but he can refine it again.

This "monster within the belly" is now formed by combining thirty "vengeful spirits" from the ninth level of the [Scissors Prison].

However, when he was refining this "weird" creature, the thirty "vengeful spirits" at the ninth level of the [Scissors Prison] were only close to his limit, not his true limit.

Now, he wants to add another [Scissors Prison] "vengeful spirit" to reforge this "weird" creature!
This is his true limit!
If successful, he could refine away the newly born intelligence of this "devouring monster" and bring it back to his use. In the blink of an eye, Zheng Que began to fully activate the [Yin God Devouring Resentment] technique.

In the distance, a blood mist filled the air. Two examiners stood in mid-air, their eyes piercing through the thick fog, their gaze fixed on the battlefield ahead, not missing a single detail.

Suddenly, the examiner on the left transmitted his voice to his companion, saying, "Zheng Que's talent is truly remarkable!"

"The technique he used to control the ghost hand was initially quite clumsy, indicating that he had only recently begun practicing it."

"But in such a short time, he was already able to keep up with that 'weird' reaction!"

The examiner on the right nodded slowly. The technique Zheng Que used was clearly not from the imperial court, but since it could be used to fight beyond one's level, its difficulty was definitely not low.

For an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would take months or even years just to master a technique of this difficulty.

They didn't know how much effort Zheng Que had put into mastering this technique, but it only took him a few dozen breaths to go from being clumsy at the beginning to using it skillfully now.

His speed in mastering magic is too fast!

In all the previous years of the Immortal Examination, they had only seen one candidate with such qualifications!
While he was pondering, the examiner on the right immediately transmitted his voice and said, "Being able to establish a Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation means you have high aptitude, that's only natural."

"What a pity. If it were before the upheaval, such talent would definitely be sought after by the major sects, regardless of their background."

"Even after entering a major sect, one will receive special attention, with resources, cultivation techniques, status, power... everything one could need. Apart from cultivation, one need not worry about worldly affairs."

"But now, qualifications are no longer as important as they used to be..."

The examiner on the left nodded slowly, his expression somewhat wistful.

Otherwise, Zheng Que wouldn't be participating in the imperial examinations for immortality, but would instead be receiving guidance and cultivation from high-level cultivators in the spiritually rich areas of the six major sects...

As they spoke, their eyes never left the battlefield, but they no longer speculated about who would win between Zheng Que and the "unpredictable" Iron Tree Prison.

After all, they haven't guessed right so far.

Neither of them wants to be proven wrong again.

A moment later, after the "Strange and Unpredictable" Iron Tree Prison was beaten to the ground by Zheng Que and completely unable to move, the examiner on the left finally spoke again: "As expected, Zheng Que won!"

“As I just said, that Iron Tree Prison is ‘unpredictable.’ Although its cultivation level is high, it still possesses intelligence and is no match for this Foundation Establishment kid of the Heavenly Rank!”

The examiner on the right showed no intention of mocking his companion, and said in a serious tone, "I think so too!"

"Even though the world has changed and Yin and Yang have been out of balance, and all those things that were once considered shameful have come out to cause trouble, we humans are the most intelligent of all beings. Those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage are the best among humans..."

However, before they could finish speaking, they saw Zheng Que on the battlefield suddenly open his mouth and swallow the "monster in the belly" whole...
