Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 623 Preparations for Core Formation. (Second Update!)

Heaven's laws and decrees?

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que was momentarily stunned. Had he uttered words that were the decrees of Heaven?

To be honest, even if he were to brag, he wouldn't dare to boast about himself like that.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little guilty and asked, "What, what are the laws of Heaven?"

Luo Fuyu replied with some surprise, "You don't even know this?"

"I and Mu Xiangu are now ordered to protect you, which is essentially a decree of Heaven."

As she spoke, she raised her slender hand and pointed to the area between her eyebrows covered by the red veil, and continued to explain, "If you were to suddenly die now, then I would be considered as having failed to fulfill that lord's divine decree."

"I can clearly foresee that at that time, I will immediately lose my position as the 'Soul Reaper' in the underworld."

"Furthermore, all the rewards I received in the underworld will vanish in an instant."

"With that lord ceasing further punishment, his cultivation level instantly plummeted back to the peak of the [Scissors Prison] realm. From now on, his cultivation will never be able to break through. This is already the best possible outcome!"

"However, after completing this Heavenly Decree, one can also receive corresponding Heavenly Rewards."

"Ordinary ghosts at the peak of the [Scissors Prison] cannot enter the [Iron Tree Prison] without hundreds of years of arduous cultivation."

"But after I completed one of the Heavenly Laws, I easily entered the realm of the Iron Tree Prison..."

"Therefore, you should think carefully before you ask for the decrees of Heaven."

"Completing one's Dao Heart through the laws of Heaven is certainly swift, but if one fails to complete the laws, one's cultivation will stagnate at the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if one has a Heavenly Grade Dao Foundation, one will never be able to make any further progress in one's lifetime!"

Ok?
The order I gave to intimidate the other party was the law of Heaven?

Did Luo Fuyu make a mistake?
Or is it that the words I spoke in the underworld truly possess some special power?

In a flash, Zheng Que continued, "Then, what kind of Heavenly Law should I seek to refine my Dao Heart?"

Luo Fuyu slowly shook his head and said, "It's already quite good that you were able to obtain the decree of Heaven. Why are you still thinking about being picky?"

"Don't be arrogant because of that person's status. Just follow whatever heavenly laws he gives you."

"You don't need to worry too much. Based on my understanding of that person, he is discerning and has an infallible eye. He won't issue any heavenly decrees that you can't fulfill, but the difficulty will definitely be at the limit of your strength."

Zheng Que frowned immediately. He had given himself the order, so why would he make things difficult for himself?

What we need to know now is whether any command is acceptable?

If that's the case, then why doesn't he just give himself the task of cultivating with Mu Xiangu, Yan Bingyi, and other female ghosts?

This is both in accordance with the laws of Heaven and conforms to his "laws," achieving two goals at once!
In a flash, Zheng Que asked again, "You mean, any order issued by that lord is valid?"

Luo Fuyu replied with absolute certainty, "Yes."

"However, it must be a formal order."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que was immediately relieved. He didn't know if the order he issued in the underworld was considered a decree of Heaven.

But since I gave myself the order, I'll give it a try first.

Just then, Luo Fuyu suddenly said, "By the way, before you form your core, you should first settle your natal magic weapon." "You saw that crimson gold longevity lock just now."

"When one's cultivation reaches the Core Formation stage, the power of a magic weapon far surpasses that of an unorthodox artifact."

“Those two Core Formation cultivators were clearly not very skilled, yet they managed to hold their own against me for so long by relying on a magic weapon.”

"If you decide on your natal magic weapon before forming your core, then you can take this opportunity to refine your natal magic weapon into a natal magic treasure in one fell swoop when you form your core!"

“Your soul-summoning banner is actually not bad, it’s just that the main soul is not quite right.”

"That Qingli is actually more suitable to be my dowry maid..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que completely ignored Luo Fuyu's last sentence and pondered for a moment.

Now he needs to refine his Dao Heart first, and only after he has successfully refined it will he consider preparing his natal magic weapon.

If you really can't find the nascent "strange thing," then go to Yan Bingyi and ask her to come up with a solution...

Thinking of this, Zheng Li immediately said, "I understand."

"I lost a lot of my true energy in the battle just now, so I need to cultivate quickly to recover."

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Upon hearing this, Luo Fuyu said nothing more. The figure in the phoenix coronet and wedding robes quickly faded from the room and disappeared without a trace.

After confirming that the other party had left, Zheng Que did not delay. He immediately summoned a ghost servant from the Soul-Summoning Banner and cast the [Ghost Control Technique], [Blood Sight Technique], and [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet] on it... and then put it into his palm.

Immediately afterwards, he began to cultivate the [Seed of Life Technique].

This cultivation method, which circulates among the lower-level rogue cultivators, involves drawing in a large amount of Yin energy during practice. While ordinary cultivators can certainly cultivate it, it causes significant harm.

However, these drawbacks had a unique use for Zheng Que.

As the exercise progressed, Zheng Que's face gradually turned pale, and his body temperature began to drop. These were all signs that Yin energy was rapidly being drawn into his body.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the familiar, dilapidated palace.

The Book of Life and Death and the gavel were placed beside him, but the palace was still empty, dark and secluded.

Just as Zheng Que was about to look at the Book of Life and Death, a figure dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes suddenly appeared out of thin air below the hall. This figure was wrapped in black chains, and the runes on the chains flickered, exuding an aura of imprisonment, capture, and suppression.

At this moment, the chains were tightly bound around her slender body, forcing the originally wide and gorgeous wedding dress to outline her graceful curves. In the dimly lit hall, it looked like a forbidden beauty.

The visitor was none other than Luofu Yu!

Zheng Que was taken aback. This time, he did not summon Luo Fuyu. Luo Fuyu had used his underworld position as a Soul Reaper to bind himself in!

Just then, Luo Fuyu released the Soul Reaper's [Soul Binding], and the dark chains vanished instantly. She hurriedly knelt down before the steps, kowtowed first, and said eagerly and excitedly, "Reporting to Your Excellency, the human cultivator Zheng Que, in order to refine his Dao Heart, specially sent me here to request a Heavenly Law from Your Excellency!"

"If this has offended you, please forgive me, my lord. This was not my intention, but I came on behalf of Zheng Que."

"The divine decree that Zheng Que wants to obtain is to send all the female ghosts and servants around him to me as my dowry maids..."
