What If I Can't Die?
chapter-448

"Yes please. Sorry to trouble you again."

Song Shi thanked him.

"This is nothing. In the Black Spirit Realm, everyone might often fight over messy matters, but here, we only have one enemy, and that is the demons on the other side. I hope that young friend you can change your mindset during this time."

The Vajra Saint waved his hand.

"Alright, I understand." Song Shi nodded. He also felt that this place was different from ordinary cultivation worlds. They were not so prejudiced and were more friendly to each other.

The Vajra Saint turned into a ray of light and escaped. Elder Tang, who was beside him, smiled. "I've just received news that we're going to add a new member here. Little Song, right?"

"How should I address you, sir?"

"I'm Tang Mu from the Supply Hall, commonly known as the Funeral Hall. You can call me Elder Tang."

"Funeral Hall?"p

"That's right. There are many cultivators who died in battle here. We often deal with their funeral matters, so we're teased to be known as the Funeral Hall."

"Interesting. Can Elder Tang introduce me to the other palaces?"

"Alright, let's talk as we walk."

Tang Mu brought Song Shi to a courtyard and said, "The Black Spirit Palace has four sacred palaces that correspond to the four sacred beasts, namely the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, the Vermilion Bird, and the White Tiger. The Palace masters are experts from the four sacred beast clans. All of them are Great Emperors and are mainly stationed in the four corners of the Black Spirit World. They will only come here during wartime."

"Oh, they're not humans?"

Song Shi was surprised.

"Little friend, in your Lower Plane, the human race has the advantage, right? But here, the human race's strength is only average. They can barely be considered the last of the ten monarch races. There have been three sovereigns and five emperors one after another. The other nine races are all stronger than us humans."

Tang Mu looked as if he already knew what Song Shi was thinking.

"I see." Song Shi was not too surprised. In the lower realms, humans were not necessarily stronger than demons without Dharma treasures either.

"Other than the Four Sacred Palaces, the nine halls below are mainly in charge of the defense line. They are the Heaven Patrolling Hall, which is in charge of patrolling and capturing, the Heaven Seeking Hall, which is in charge of interrogating and imprisoning, the Heaven Observation Hall, which is in charge of intelligence, the War Demon Hall, which is in charge of head-on combat, the Demon Resistance Hall for defense, the Demon Purification Hall for healing and exorcism, the Heaven Punishment Hall for punishment, the Hundred Treasures Hall for refining weapons and talismans, and our Logistics Hall for miscellaneous matters."

Tang Mu's elder, Song Shi, said meaningfully, "You should be able to tell that our Palace is similar to an army. In fact, it's just an army. Usually, it's fine. If we really encounter an attack from the demons, we'll be the ones to take over."

Song Shi frowned. "Is the pressure that great? Is there a need for so many people to keep guarding here?"

"That's a lot?"

Tang Mu chuckled. "This is only one-tenth of the number of soldiers defending the Black Spirit Realm during the war. If a war really breaks out, billions of cultivators in the Black Spirit Realm will be mobilised."

Song Shi was stunned. "That's true."

"This courtyard is yours. If you need any living supplies, you can use this token to exchange for them through the supply warehouse established by the Heaven Observation Hall. At that time, our members will send them to you. You will have to spend money to buy them."

Tang Mu handed Song Shi a palm-sized disk. "Just refine it and you will be able to use it."

"Thank you."

Song Shi sized up the disc. It looked like a turtle shell, and there was an eight trigram diagram engraved on it. There was a serial number written at the bottom. He felt that this thing might give him a surprise.

"If there's nothing else, I won't disturb you anymore. If you want to find me, you can go straight to that courtyard."

Tang Mu pointed at a spot and turned to leave with a smile.

If not for the Vajra Saint's words, this person would have been rather special. With his status, it was impossible for him to bring a Soul Transformation cultivator around like this.

Song Shi refined the disc and obtained the authority of this residence. He opened it and strode in.

The courtyard was more than ten meters wide. It had five rooms and two halls. There was a small courtyard. The buildings were simple and could not be considered an immortal paradise. It was quiet.

Once the Array Formation was activated, it was immediately isolated from the outside world and became Song Shi's personal space.

"I've finally arrived at the Black Spirit Realm. The next step is to become an immortal."

Song Shi muttered and set a small goal for himself.

However, before that, he had to break through to the Soul Transformation stage first.

He came to the master bedroom, sat cross-legged in the middle of the room, and impatiently began to cultivate.

Buzz buzz!

Brilliant light bloomed from his body, and obvious Spiritual Qi fluctuations spread out with him as the center, turning into a vortex, and a large amount of Spiritual Qi poured into his body.

Song Shi's body was like a dried-up lake. He did not reject the surrounding Spiritual Qi and greedily absorbed it. After receiving the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi, every inch of his flesh and blood was glowing. He crazily absorbed the Spiritual Qi and continued to grow stronger.

In the Land of Extinction, without the nourishment of Spiritual Qi and other energy, his physical body could improve. Now that he had it, he could continue to improve on his previous foundation and actually broke through his original limit!

"Good lord, the effect is very obvious. Basically, those who pass the first round will have a body ten times stronger than before!"

Song Shi was shocked. This was only the first stage. There were more to come. Although they were no longer targeted at the physical body, if they were to combine them one by one, even if they did not clear the stage, they would be able to walk more than half of the way. When they came out, they would definitely become powerhouses.

"It's not unreasonable for the Heavenly Demon World to be able to suppress the Black Spirit Realm…"

A strange thought arose in his mind. At the same time, he became even more interested in this place.

"I have to make full use of the Demon Refinement Path and let myself be fully trained!"

He muttered in his heart and circulated his cultivation technique. The spiritual qi in the entire courtyard was swallowed. A portion was absorbed by his body, and a portion was converted into Nomological power.

The entire courtyard began to tremble. All the Spiritual Qi had been sucked away by Song Shi. It was no different from the Void outside. They were all in a state without Spiritual Qi.

Even after absorbing it all, Song Shi still felt that it was far from enough. He took out the medicinal pills that the Vajra Saint had given him to replenish his energy. Only then could he barely afford to consume them.
