Obtaining the Life and Death Instruction

After taking away the lamps, Shen Ge turned around and went back into the stone building.

Behind each lamp is a stone building, and although they are different in style, they all carry a sense of desolation.

Shen Ge chose the building behind the Cold Flame Lamp because he had been inside it before and thought it might not be as dangerous.

After passing through a long corridor, you enter a relatively large room. The room is empty except for a pillar in the very center that is about one meter above the ground.

He cautiously approached and saw a Jade Slip slip on it. After a slight hesitation, Shen Ge still extended a wisp of his Divine Sense.

However, his body remained tense, and he would immediately sever the connection if there was any problem with this Divine Sense.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened during the process. The Jade Slip contained a complete Cultivation Method, the complete version of the Return of the Soul Instruction.

It turns out that the Return of the Soul Instruction is only the first half of the Life and Death Instruction. The second half includes the Toward Death Instruction, which combines the two parts to form the complete Life and Death Instruction.

However, if this mere first half of the manual can have the power to reverse life and death, Shen Ge couldn't estimate how powerful the complete version of the Life and Death Instruction really was; it felt like it couldn't be described as Immortal Method.

Moreover, it also contains many spells that accompany the Cultivation Method, such as Death Substitute, Divine Soul Seed, and Word Incantation. Although most of them are life-saving Law Technique, they are the best Law Technique, because cultivating immortality is nothing more than achieving longevity, and living is the most important thing.

After Shen Ge finished receiving all the information, the Jade Slip immediately shattered into powder.

"It broke already?"

Shen Ge shook his head, then searched the surrounding area thoroughly to make sure there was nothing hidden before leaving.

Before long, Shen Ge arrived at another stone hall. He raised his hand and pushed the stone door, only to find that he couldn't open it, which surprised him.

"Can't open it? It's so heavily guarded, looks like there's a lot of good stuff inside."

Shen Ge muttered something excitedly, then channeled his spiritual energy and used the knife to pry it open.

But the next moment, not only was the knife shattered, but he was also thrown back.

Shen Ge stumbled and landed after a few somersaults. If it weren't for his injured left shoulder, he wouldn't have landed in such a disheveled manner.

With a sullen face, Shen Ge glanced at the gate. He had intended to summon a long river of flying swords to wash it over, but the intense sense of crisis in his heart made him abandon the plan.

"Fine, you're the boss. If I can't afford to offend you, I can at least avoid you. But wait, I'll be back. I want to see what's inside you."

After shouting a few words, Shen Ge turned and went to several other buildings, but he couldn't enter any of them, which dashed his hopes of looting all the treasures in this secret realm.

Although it was a pity, Shen Ge was a content person. He was already very satisfied to have obtained the Life and Death Instruction and the Five Lamps this time.

After returning to where he landed, Shen Ge looked up through the thin black mist, but there was still some distance to the cave entrance, and he couldn't see anything.

However, it wasn't that Shen Ge couldn't get up from here, but rather that he never intended to go up from here in the first place, or rather, he didn't intend to go up from here.

After all, he didn't know if Huang Tao was still guarding up there, and given his current condition, he wasn't sure he could beat Huang Tao, so he didn't want to take the risk.

Having already faced life-or-death situations once, Shen Ge really didn't want to experience it again.

So the safest thing to do now is to wait until his shoulder injury is completely healed before thinking of a solution, or wait for rescue, because he told Mu Wan when he came out that he wouldn't be out for long this time, and he hoped that she would be able to bring people to look for him soon.

However, this can only be hoped for. After all, given Mu Wan's carefree personality, it's uncertain whether she would even notice those words. Or perhaps she's gone off to refine weapons again, and it's normal for her to disappear for a month or two.

The black mist is slowly dissipating now, and Huang Tao couldn't possibly miss this change. If he chases after it to investigate, it will be a troublesome matter.

However, Shen Ge actually hoped he would step down, since in this environment, he currently held a much greater advantage than Huang Tao.

A Qi Refining Fifth Layer against a Third Layer of Qi Refining, even though injured, shouldn't be unable to hold his own.

Shen Ge looked up again, sighed, and found a place to hide. No matter how you analyze it, the situation is unfavorable, so he had no choice but to hide.

This isn't out of fear; it's a tactical retreat, waiting for the right moment.

At the cave entrance above, Huang Tao stared blankly at the thinning black mist for a moment. "Strange, why is the black mist getting less and less? Could it be that Master has succeeded?"

"But five days have passed; by now it should have succeeded."

But why do I have this uneasy feeling?

Huang Tao stopped speaking at this point, and then thought to himself: This old thing has lived for countless years, and his strength is extraordinary. What if he comes out and uses me as a scapegoat?

Judging from his current strength, Nascent Soul definitely doesn't have a Nascent Soul stage. If he uses Shen Ge's body to go to the Spirit Moon Sect, he'll be doomed if he's discovered. And I'm the only person in charge and know the truth. What if he tries to silence me after he comes out?

Having spent so many years in the world of cultivators, Huang Tao's only belief is to trust no one but himself.

Although the old monster promised to give him some benefits, it was hard to say whether he would actually give benefits or kill him to silence him. It was better to believe a dog wouldn't bite than to expect someone who looked like Devil Cultivator to keep his promise. After all, if he hadn't been a bit less talented, he would have been completely devoured by that old thing long ago.

Huang Tao admitted that he was a little scared now, after all, he had no ability to resist that old guy.

Or should we run away?

Anyway, now that I've taken Shen Ge's belongings, it's enough for me to cultivate to the Golden Core stage. As long as I find a place to hide, the entire Southern Barbarian Lands is so vast, who will be able to find me?

Once the idea appeared, it kept churning in Huang Tao's mind and wouldn't dissipate.

After hesitating for a few moments, Huang Tao turned and left without hesitation, taking his puppet with him.

Since he had already decided not to cooperate with that old monster, leaving anything behind would be a loss for him. Huang Tao wasn't that foolish; after all, these things were the result of his hard work.

After Huang Tao left, the cave abode became completely quiet, without a sound.

Five days later, as the black mist gradually dissipated, Shen Ge's strength finally returned to normal, and after this period of recuperation, the injury on his left shoulder had also basically healed.

To be honest, Shen Ge was somewhat relieved about his left shoulder injury. Luckily, Huang Tao used his palm instead of a weapon, otherwise he might be in the same boat as Yang Guo now.
