The Record of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 658 The Dead City
Xu Yuxiu walked through this world, completing the mission of seducing souls according to the records in the Book of Life and Death, while also observing the mysteries of the great formation that constituted this world.

It must be said that the mystery of the great formation that could completely construct a world was so profound that even with her current attainments as a great formation master, it was difficult to easily grasp its essence.

However, she can still make some small changes, it just takes more time.

This is also done in order to remain unshakable and build the great formation of this world.

Otherwise, at all costs, various unstable factors will appear in this stable world.

In serious cases, it could lead to the extinction of all living things in this world, which would be contrary to her original intention.

Xu Yuxiu tried to slow down the speed of soul-snatching so as to free up more time to figure out the secrets of constructing the great formation of this world.

However, her doing so also caused some problems in this life.

That is, the souls of people who died in this world were not taken away in time, causing those ghosts to stay in this world and wander around, causing many rumors of seeing ghosts, evil spirits demanding lives, etc., causing people in some places in this world to panic for a while.

Xu Yuxiu could naturally sense this, and she also made some countermeasures for such things.

That is, based on her external incarnation, she differentiated into various incarnations to restrict the souls of those dead people.

However, these incarnations were all temporarily differentiated by her, and they could not possess all of her own abilities, but they should have no problem dealing with those ghosts and spirits.

After differentiating into various incarnations, Xu Yuxiu did not allow these incarnations to have close contact with herself. This was also to prevent the experiences of those incarnations from disturbing her research and constructing the secrets of this world's great formation.

This day.

Xu Yuxiu walked to a city that was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a beautiful environment and scenic views.

According to the Feng Shui theory popular in this world, this city is generally a place with good Feng Shui.

But Xu Yuxiu could sense that the city was filled with a dark and depressing atmosphere.

This makes this place look quite different.

Xu Yuxiu also released her spiritual power and sensed the entire city, but she did not find anything unusual that was out of the ordinary in this world.

This made her a little confused.

It just so happens that in the Book of Life and Death, there are hundreds of souls related to this city that need to be checked off.

Now that we are here, let’s take these souls away together.

As we walked into the city, we saw that almost every household had its doors and windows closed, and there were hardly any people on the streets of the entire city.

What's more, coffins are placed in front of some doors.

Paper money for the dead was scattered everywhere.

When the wind blew, the paper money was blown up and flew everywhere.

The entire city looks like a ghost town, filled with a gloomy atmosphere everywhere.

Xu Yuxiu had already sensed this situation, and this was also what puzzled her.

Those coffins that were placed outside with great fanfare contained corpses but no souls.

Xu Yuxiu also learned the identities of the dead through the Book of Life and Death.

She discovered that most of the dead had not yet lived to the end of their life span, but died just like that, and even their souls did not exist beside their bodies.

If some people die and time passes by, their souls may go to other places.

But some souls that have just passed away cannot be too far away from their bodies and can only wander around the bodies.

This is also what makes Xu Yuxiu extremely confused.

"There are no disasters or plagues in this city, so why are there so many people who have not yet reached the end of their life span?"

"And some people who died not long ago, their souls are not around. What's the reason for this?"

While Xu Yuxiu was thinking, she came directly to a coffin. In the coffin, there lay a corpse that had just died, a female corpse.

She did not open the coffin lid, but just kept it closed and looked at the female corpse in the coffin.

The female corpse lying in the coffin was so thin that all the flesh and blood seemed to have been sucked away. She had clearly died not long ago, but she looked like a mummy, which was quite scary.

The record of this female corpse in the Book of Life and Death stated that she was a young woman in the prime of life, with more than 40 years left to live, but she died just like that. This was obviously not in line with common sense.

Looking at the dead appearance of the female corpse.

Xu Yuxiu could directly conclude that this was caused by an evil spirit.

But in her perception, she could not sense any trace of the evil creature left on the female corpse.

Although her current body is just an incarnation differentiated from her original spirit, it is also an incarnation that has been carefully refined and possesses the same cultivation level of the initial stage of transformation. How could she not be able to detect the breath of even an evil creature?

Besides, what kind of evil things can be bred in such a world without any spiritual energy?
Afterwards, Xu Yuxiu examined dozens of bodies that had died not long ago, and without exception, they were in the same condition as the first female corpse.

Now she can basically conclude that this was done by the same evil creature.

It seems that there is something seriously wrong with this evil thing!

As soon as Xu Yuxiu thought about it, she wanted to contact the nearest incarnation to learn more about the unusual situation happening nearby.

But the next moment, her expression froze.

"The incarnation of this place has disappeared!"

Xu Yuxiu murmured with a serious look in her eyes.

Although those incarnations were all temporary, differentiated from her current incarnation, no matter how weak they were, they should be able to travel freely in this world. Why did an incarnation suddenly disappear without even her knowing?

This was obviously beyond her expectation.

Xu Yuxiu concluded that something serious must have happened here that she had not expected!
As soon as she thought of this, she took a step forward and disappeared into the city.

When she reappeared, she had already arrived in front of a temple.

At this time, you can see that there are many people burning incense and worshiping in this temple.

They are all extremely pious.

But Xu Yuxiu could see the panic and fear in their eyes.

But this temple was like their life-saving straw. Even after burning incense and worshiping, no one was willing to leave. Instead, they found a place to sit down in the small environment of the temple.

It was as if they had already regarded this place as a safe place to live.

These people could not see Xu Yuxiu's arrival.

When she walked into the temple, she could still hear many people in the temple whispering words like "May Goddess Xuanxin bless you."

The statue in the temple is the image of her incarnation, which provides a place for her incarnation to rest.

But now, the statue has lost all its spirituality, and only a protective spell remains in it.

That magic is used to restrain evil spirits.

It seems that these mortals gathered here must have realized that this temple can ward off evil spirits and provide shelter, which is why they stayed here and were unwilling to leave.

Xu Yuxiu performed the spell calmly, checked it, and found that there was no information left in it.

Obviously, this magic was hastily set up by her incarnation, and it only possessed extremely strong spiritual power.

It is really worth pondering that she, an incarnation, could respond so hastily!

Xu Yuxiu returned the magic to its place and stayed here without leaving.
