Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 621 Magical Treasure. (Second Update!)

Under the glow of the "囍" lantern, Zheng Que's face was tinged with a faint blush as he looked solemnly at the two Core Formation cultivators standing in mid-air.

The auras of these two Core Formation cultivators were far stronger than those of the other Core Formation rogue cultivators he had encountered before.

However, he is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and judging solely from their auras, he cannot determine whether these two are at the early or mid-stage of Core Formation.
However, one thing is certain: the auras of these two individuals are condensed and solid, and their energy is relatively pure, indicating that they are definitely not from the ranks of rogue cultivators.

It's unclear which faction of the imperial court sent them to become Core Formation cultivators.

As he pondered, Zheng Que lowered his gaze and looked at the street not far away. There, faintly glowing talismans surrounded figures, seemingly forming a procession. The talismans were full of spiritual energy, interlocking with each other to form an array that solidly protected the interior. He could not see the specific scene inside, but he could vaguely make out a somewhat familiar red sedan chair.

Zheng Que frowned slightly. Was Luo Fuyu trapped by the formation?

In a flash, he looked up again, staring at the mouths of the two Core Formation cultivators, waiting for them to speak.

Upon hearing Zheng Que mention the jade slip containing the image and the examiner, the two Core Formation cultivators from the Qiu family of Mizhou immediately changed their expressions.

They are currently dealing with the "strangeness" of the Iron Tree Prison and originally did not want to cause trouble, but if Zheng Que really records them with the recording jade slip, then Qiu Chunzhi's immortal examination will be completely ruined!
Even the entire Qiu family of Mizhou will be in deep trouble!
In a flash, Kong Rushang quickly glanced around and, finding no other cultivators following Zheng Que, relaxed. He replied calmly, "Junior, you've seen too much..."

As he was about to make his move, he suddenly realized that he couldn't close his mouth!

Zheng Que had been watching the two Core Formation cultivators' every move. When he heard them answer, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately opened his mouth, and a dark shadow instantly escaped from his mouth, transforming into a long rainbow that spanned the distance between them and headed straight for Kong Rushang's mouth.

Qu Zhu reacted instantly, quickly casting a spell. Dozens of talismans fluttered out like butterflies, forming a simple array in the blink of an eye, protecting both himself and Kong Rushang.

However, the shadow was as fast as lightning and completely unaffected by the formation, passing directly through the layers of talismans and continuing its charge towards Kong Rushang's mouth.

Kong Rushang's expression changed slightly. He couldn't close his mouth now, and seeing the shadow about to enter his mouth, he quickly cast a spell.

The next moment, the lock core of the [Longevity Lock] that was floating next to them suddenly began to turn.

click!
The shadow that had rushed in front of Kong Rushang was suddenly stopped by an invisible force and could not advance an inch.

The shadow was extremely unruly and immediately began to writhe and struggle, revealing its long, thin form and exuding the aura of the [Iron Tree Prison].

However, no matter how much the Yin energy on the "Devil in the Belly" surged and erupted, it could not get any closer to Kong Rushang.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Que's expression changed slightly. Since he mastered the [Yin God Devouring Resentment] technique, this was the first time he had ever seen his "Deceptive Within the Belly" talent fail!

That longevity lock floating in mid-air is no ordinary treasure!

At the same time, the two Core Formation cultivators also frowned, realizing the "unpredictable" nature of the Iron Tree Prison.

This Foundation Establishment cultivator actually controlled a "weird" Iron Tree Prison!
At the very moment these two Core Formation cultivators were separated from their spiritual realm, countless "囍" characters of various sizes suddenly appeared on their bodies.

These double happiness characters surged forth from the void like a torrent, instantly enveloping the two of them. It was Luo Fuyu who had made his move!
At this moment, the two Core Formation cultivators reacted quickly. Qu Zhuo immediately made a hand seal, and every "囍" character on his body was instantly affixed by a talisman radiating spiritual energy. The moment the talisman appeared, it burst into flames and burned along with the "囍" character before quickly falling off.

Kong Rushang also cast a spell, and the lock core of the [Longevity Lock] began to turn again.

clack clack...

With a crisp click of the mechanism, the "囍" characters on Kong Rushang's body froze the moment they were pasted on. Then, Kong Rushang raised his hand and effortlessly tore them off one by one.

Seeing this, Zheng Que didn't waste any time and immediately opened his mouth to swallow the "trick in his belly" again.

He withdrew the "Deceptive Within" and directly struck the two Core Formation cultivators with a palm.

Pure yin energy intertwined with true essence, forming a black and white palm print that whistled down.

Feeling the biting coldness rushing towards them, the two Core Formation cultivators' expressions changed slightly. Although this was just a spell cast by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, both of them felt a strong threat from this spell.

Even with their cultivation level, taking a direct hit from a palm strike would not be pleasant for them.

Thinking of this, Kong Rushang changed his hand seals, and the lock core of the [Longevity and Life-Suppressing Lock] started to turn once again.

click!
The black and white palm prints came to an abrupt end very close to the two Core Formation cultivators. Immediately afterward, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the palm prints. These cracks then widened further before shattering into dust, which quickly dissipated into yin energy and true essence.

Zheng Que frowned as he examined the ornate red-gold longevity lock. This lock seemed capable of blocking anything!
At the same time, the two Core Formation cultivators finally caught their breath and were about to attack Zheng Que when a deafening bang suddenly came from the side.

clang! ! !
A broken bronze bell fell from the sky and smashed solidly into the red gold longevity lock.

The longevity lock, which had been suspended in mid-air, was powerless to fight back and was immediately knocked to the ground.

The bronze bell, replacing the longevity lock, floated in mid-air, its ominous aura slowly spreading as it rose and fell. Its body was broken and covered with wounds from various swords and spears, yet its condensed and tangible killing intent remained undiminished, like a veteran general standing with his spear in hand.

It's the Demon-Suppressing Bronze Bell!
The magical artifact that Du Anyong once used!

The two Core Formation cultivators' expressions changed drastically the moment they saw it clearly.

Kong Rushang quickly cast a series of spells, trying to regain control of the [Longevity Lock], but the next moment, eight sedan chair ghosts quietly appeared on the long street and pressed down on the red gold longevity lock that had fallen to the ground.

Immediately afterward, before the two Core Formation cultivators could react, the surrounding scenery subtly changed. The houses covered with the character "囍" and the brightly lit plants vanished in an instant, replaced by a vast expanse of blood mist.

Except for Qiu Chunzhi, all the Qiu family members stood blankly on the wasteland, the "囍" characters pasted on their bodies spontaneously falling off. They all seemed to wake up from a dream, looking around in confusion.

Yes, the "strange thing" disappeared, and they returned to Blood Pass!
