The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Qin Changge and the Samsara Mirror returned to Fengdu City together.

Returning to this vast capital city, Qin Changge was completely bewildered and asked, "Where is this Soul Guide?"

The Mirror of Reincarnation replied, "The Soul Guides do not have a fixed location; they wander in the corners of Fengdu City at all times, and you may encounter them at any time."

Qin Changge was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this. How was he supposed to find it?

Qin Changge thought for a moment and said, "Then let's wait here and see if we can run into him."

The next moment, Qin Changge saw a white-haired figure come to him.

The Mirror of Reincarnation immediately displayed a line of large characters that read: "He is the Soul Guide."

Qin Changge was somewhat surprised to see this scene. He hadn't expected that this guy would jump out on his own just when he was about to look for the Soul Guide.

Just then, the white-haired, white-robed figure looked down at Qin Changge and said, "What is your crime for killing a court official and a messenger seeking revenge?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Changge suddenly realized that the Soul Guide had not appeared here by chance, but rather to cause trouble for Qin Changge, since Qin Changge had previously killed the Soul Reaper, which could be considered as making an enemy of the imperial court.

As a member of the imperial court, the Soul Guide naturally wanted to cause trouble for Qin Changge.

Upon hearing this, Qin Changge asked, "You are a Soul Guide, do you possess the Book of Life and Death?"

At this moment, a line of large characters appeared on the Reincarnation Mirror, saying: "There is only one Book of Life and Death, and it may not be on this Soul Guide. You can use it to find other Soul Guides."

Just then, the soul guide took out a book, which turned out to be the Book of Life and Death.

The Mirror of Reincarnation burst forth with dazzling light and said, "Good luck, this guy has the Book of Life and Death."

Clearly, Qin Changge grinned and said, "It wasn't just good luck; this guy found me through the Book of Life and Death. If he wanted to find me, he would definitely need to have the Book of Life and Death. So, killing the Death Reaper before was truly a brilliant move."

Qin Changge smiled.

The soul guide said coldly, "I hope you can still laugh later."

Immediately afterwards, the soul guide opened the Book of Life and Death, and then flicked his finger, revealing a small figure of Qin Changge. In the end, the soul guide saw through Qin Changge's entire life.

"Qin Changge, 23 years old, peak of the Great Luo Realm."

Upon hearing this, Qin Changge was stunned. He had never imagined that he possessed such an all-knowing magical treasure.

The next moment, thinking that the Book of Life and Death would soon belong to her, Qin Changge said with a smile, "This Book of Life and Death is really powerful, isn't it? Can't it hide anything from me?"

The Soul Guide said, "Surrender immediately, or you and your family will be erased from the Book of Life and Death and become a vengeful spirit."

Qin Changge asked curiously, "Is this Book of Life and Death really that powerful? Can it kill a peak Great Luo Realm Grand Dharma King like me with just one stroke? If so, it's probably even more powerful than an Immortal Emperor, right?"

The Mirror of Reincarnation displayed a line of large characters that read: "It's impossible."

Clearly, while the Book of Life and Death is powerful, it cannot easily eliminate Qin Changge. Isn't the purpose of cultivators' hard work to defy fate?
Although the Book of Life and Death can find information about Qin Changge, it cannot interfere with Qin Changge or kill him.

The Mirror of Reincarnation once again displayed a line of large characters that read: "Having cultivated to the level of an Earth Immortal, one has already broken free from the control of the Book of Life and Death."

Upon hearing this, Qin Changge suddenly understood. So that's how it is. After cultivating to become an Earth Immortal, one gains the ability to live forever and can naturally break free from the control of the Book of Life and Death. Although the Book of Life and Death can still see through his information, it cannot easily kill Qin Changge.

"It's a pity, none of my family members are below the Earth Immortal Realm!" Qin Changge shook his head.

The Soul Guide also discovered this.

Qin Changge said, "Out of ideas?"

Qin Changge flicked his finger, and the soul guide lost half of his body.

Qin Changge gently raised his hand, and the Book of Life and Death slowly floated into his palm. Qin Changge glanced at the Book of Life and Death and found it very strange. It was clearly just an ordinary book, yet it possessed immense power.

"The Reincarnation Mirror replied."

"Although the Book of Life and Death is not one of the twenty most precious treasures in the Great Thousand World of the Upper Realm, it is still a top-tier magic weapon."

Qin Changge nodded.

Then, just as Qin Changge was about to check on the whereabouts of Qin Changle and the others, he discovered that the Soul Guide, who had lost half of his body, had suddenly exploded.

In an instant, Fengdu City was thrown into turmoil. The wandering ghosts around were all frightened. Some ran away, while others came.

Three white-haired, white-robed soul guides arrived before Qin Changge. Qin Changge held up the Book of Life and Death, and one of the soul guides died in front of him. This scene immediately caught the attention of the three soul guides.

These three soul guides, each responsible for a different direction, trapped Qin Changge.

One of them said coldly, "Hand over the Book of Life and Death, surrender, or die!"

The three soul guides had cold faces and spoke coldly, showing no emotion whatsoever. In their eyes, Qin Changge had no choice but to surrender.

Qin Changge said calmly, "When others are busy, please don't bother them, okay?"

As soon as Qin Changge finished speaking, the three Soul Guides exploded instantly. Even though they were three True Immortal Realm experts, they couldn't stop Qin Changge for more than a second before being killed.

Qin Changge opened the Book of Life and Death and asked, "How do I use this?"

The Mirror of Reincarnation displayed a line of large characters that read: "It needs to be refined."

Qin Changge nodded, and then used his divine sense to connect with the Book of Life and Death, intending to imprint his mark on it, so that the Book of Life and Death would become Qin Changge's possession.

However, Qin Changge discovered that the Book of Life and Death seemed to be a very independent entity, and he could not pour any divine sense into it or refine it.

Qin Changge asked in surprise, "It can't be refined? What's going on?"

The Reincarnation Mirror replied, "This Book of Life and Death has an owner. Since the owner is not dead, it is extremely difficult to refine it."

Qin Changge rolled her eyes and said, "Then we can't use it?"

The Mirror of Reincarnation instantly emitted a golden light of merit, enveloping the Book of Life and Death, and said, "Now you can try."

Qin Changge was skeptical upon hearing this, but then used his divine sense to contact the Book of Life and Death again. Sure enough, this time, with the help of the golden light of merit, Qin Changge's divine sense successfully left a mark on the Book of Life and Death.

Without hesitation, Qin Changge engraved his own mark on the Book of Life and Death—the three words "Qin Changge"!

Qin Changge nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, the Book of Life and Death is mine. Now I'll come and see where the eldest and fourth brothers are."

It is important to know that the Book of Life and Death records information about all lives, which is extremely powerful.

Qin Changge was about to check when the Book of Life and Death moved without wind, and a page floated out: "The River of Oblivion is causing chaos with the Undying Bones. Go and suppress it immediately."

Qin Changge looked at the paper and said, "This should be the tedious task that the Book of Life and Death requires us to perform, right? Just ignore it, okay?"

The Mirror of Reincarnation immediately replied, "We can't miss this opportunity. Completing the mission will earn us golden merit. Why do you care about your eldest and fourth brothers? They're so powerful, what's there to worry about? Let's get the merit first!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Changge thought about it and agreed that it made sense. The golden light of merit was so useful that it could help Qin Changge regain ownership of the Book of Life and Death even while its owner was still alive.

Moreover, judging from how anxious the Mirror of Reincarnation is, it's possible that acquiring merit isn't so easy and requires seizing every opportunity.

Qin Changge thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's get this merit first." (End of this chapter)
