Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 625 Vulnerability. (Second Update!)

It took Zheng Que quite a while to finally come to his senses.

His head was still a little fuzzy, his ears were ringing, and he was swaying unsteadily.

How could the underworld seen by the soul puppet be so terrifying?!

The deep-seated fear, despair, and death almost made him, the lord of the underworld, kneel down on the spot.

Do not!
His soul puppet was so frightened that it knelt on the ground.

Zheng Que suddenly understood why all the ghosts he had summoned to the underworld dared not resist him.

He didn't need to lift a finger!
The sheer presence of him sitting there was enough to frighten all the ghosts, preventing them from even having the slightest thought of resistance.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then controlled the soul puppet below the hall to get up again, but he no longer dared to use the soul puppet's vision to look around.

Once everything was ready, Zheng Que looked at the soul puppets below and immediately spoke, giving himself the order: "Zheng Que!"

"I hereby order you to recruit ghost servants, who may only enslave beautiful female ghosts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Que was about to control the soul puppet to nod in agreement when he immediately noticed that from the soul puppet's perspective, an extremely strong sense of palpitation surged in, the aura around him rapidly weakened, and even the originally solid soul body began to dissipate.

Zheng Que was immediately alarmed and realized the problem instantly... His orders took effect immediately once they were issued, regardless of whether the target agreed or not!

The reason his aura has changed so drastically is because he has violated this constraint!
Is it "Shadow Play"?
wrong!

[The Shadow Play] was not enslaved by him, but was merely carrying out the heavenly laws of him, the lord of the underworld.

It's a "trick in the belly"!
The "Demon in the Belly" is composed of thirty-one vengeful spirits from the [Scissors Prison]. It has no gender and is not a female ghost! This does not conform to the heavenly law he just set.

boom! !

At that moment, Zheng Que saw the soul puppet below the hall rapidly disintegrate. Unable to hold on any longer, it suddenly exploded, turning into streams of yin energy of varying sizes that quickly dispersed in all directions, stirring up a gust of yin wind in the hall. It was as if its soul had been scattered on the spot.

At the same time, he clearly felt that his cultivation level was missing a part.

His cultivation level, which was at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, suddenly dropped to the level when he had just broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

However, perhaps because of his identity as the Lord of the Underworld, apart from a slight decrease in his cultivation level, he did not feel any discomfort.

Zheng Que couldn't help but exhale a breath of relief, thank goodness!

He had a very strong intuition that if he hadn't been in this position, his physical body would have perished along with the soul puppet that had died.

The technique 【Demon Soul Substitute Puppet】cannot prevent the backlash effect of the Heavenly Laws in the slightest.

If the person standing below the hall just now was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, regardless of whether he used the [Demon Soul Substitute Puppet] or not, he would have been reduced to ashes by now, leaving no trace of his body!

Thinking of this, Zheng Que quickly regained his composure.

Although the first constraint failed, it also proved one thing... as long as you issue commands according to the logic just now, it can indeed become the law of heaven!

Now that his first command has failed, he'll try a different one!
As for the impact of declining cultivation, that's not important at all.

After leaving the underworld, I can quickly replenish my strength by training with Yan Bingyi once...

“A beautiful female ghost with intelligence, I will only accept her, not kill her…” “Next, I will use this Heavenly Law on myself.”

"and many more!"

"I've killed a beautiful female ghost who possessed intelligence."

"It's that 'Law Demon' from the Wanshan Temple back then..."

Thinking of this, Zheng Que frowned. Neither of the two constraints he had just envisioned could be used.

We can only think of another constraint that meets the conditions...

wrong!

Zheng Que suddenly looked at the Book of Life and Death, remembering something very important.

At this moment, the Book of Life and Death was turned to the third page, and his gaze quickly fell on the records of the Shadow Play.

He had given Shadowplay the order to become his ghost servant, but Shadowplay did not comply and instead chose to run away.

So why hasn't anything happened to [Evil Shadow Play], which violated his Heavenly Laws?

With this thought in mind, Zheng Que began to seriously recall all his experiences since he had seen the [Evil Shadow Play] at Blood Pass...

He quickly realized one of the key points.

When [Evil Shadow Play] was summoned into this underworld space again, it immediately claimed that it had never disobeyed orders, but had gone to the depths of Blood Pass to find rare and precious materials to help him cultivate. However, that rare and precious material would take another five hundred years to find...

Such a lame excuse, which wouldn't even fool a three-and-a-half-year-old, managed to circumvent the punishment of the laws of nature?!

Zheng Que was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood. If this was a complete underworld and he was the true lord of the underworld, then [Evil Shadow Play] would have been in trouble if he hadn't followed his instructions.

But now, the fact that this grand palace is so dilapidated shows that the state of the underworld is extremely bad. As the lord of the underworld, apart from his particularly frightening aura, his cultivation is not even as good as that of the [Evil Shadow Play].

Therefore, the Heavenly Laws he issued had loopholes!
As long as there is a suitable and plausible reason, one can circumvent the punishment of the laws of nature.

Yes, he doesn't need to change other constraints; he can even use the two constraints from before together.

All that's needed is a small adjustment elsewhere...

Just as he was thinking this, Zheng Que noticed that the black aura between his eyebrows was getting less and less, and it had become so thin that it was almost non-existent. Soon, the last wisp of black aura disappeared into the Book of Life and Death.

Similar to the previous situation, the Book of Life and Death condensed a batch of imperial edicts, which entered his brow, and only then did the surrounding scenery begin to unfold.

Soon, Zheng Que returned to reality. The cultivation room was quiet. The spirit-gathering array was slowly operating, and the condensed spiritual energy was filled with cold yin energy, which permeated the entire room with a pure and cold feeling.

Zheng Que looked around and was about to get up when a gust of cold wind suddenly swept in, grabbed his body, and dragged him away forcefully.

After a dizzying spin, Zheng Que found himself in a brightly decorated room adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Not far away, on a round table inlaid with mica and made of pear wood, bright red wedding candles burned high, and beaded curtains on both sides were half-rolled up. The room was filled with the rich fragrance of agarwood. Sometime later, he had changed into a brand-new bright red round-necked robe. This set of clothes was elaborate and exquisite, exuding a pure yin energy. It was clearly the groom's attire.

A graceful figure, adorned in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, holding a "bottle maiden," sits demurely on the edge of the bed. Her head is slightly bowed, the tassels of her veil falling on her chest. Her posture is serene, as if she were a bride waiting for the veil to be lifted.
