Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
"I still need to take your pulse."
"Then I'll trouble you, sir."
Wu Ling put his hands on the table.
Chen Luo raised his hand and placed his fingers on Wu Ling's wrist, just like a doctor in the secular world. The cold touch came back from his fingertips, and it felt like touching a dead body, without any breath of life.
Chen Luo closed his eyes, and Zhang Yunwei's brain quickly became active.
He dared to let the clone of the Illusion God Gu come here because he planned to use Zhang Yunwei's brain to test the status of the "River of Rebirth". Only after he figured out the status of this top-grade immortal weapon, he could plan the next thing.
'cold.'
A strange thought emerged in Chen Luo's mind.
Um?
Chen Luo frowned. The response from Zhang Yunwei's brain was very strange, like a dead object. It was completely different from the state he had called up before when he was outside.
There is only one reason for this change, and that is the 'Wu Ling' in front of him.
'There is the sound of water'
The thought came to his mind again, Chen Luo opened his eyes and looked at Wu Ling who was standing opposite him. Wu Ling also looked over when he noticed his gaze.
"Did you see anything?"
Wu Ling asked the same question as before, but strangely, his voice became very strange in Chen Luo's ears. It was as if something stretched his vocal cords and talked to him in ventriloquism.
In the field of vision, Wu Ling's image also changed dramatically. His body dripped to the ground like black mud, and a cold and foul smell appeared around him.
The sound of water, which originally did not exist, actually appeared in his ears.
'Soul erosion, wake up!'
In the external brain, the brain of the Immortal Emperor Changqing suddenly revived, and a sound like a huge bell came out. Chen Luo suddenly woke up and stood up all of a sudden.
Looking around again, I found myself immersed in a long black river.
The black river water had already reached his chest, and a cold floating corpse floated by. The corpse's white eyes stared straight at him until it was carried away by the river and flowed away into the distance.
Zhang Yunwei and her daughter are missing.
The whole space was silent. Apart from the sound of running water, he was the only one left.
'Is this the River of Rebirth?'
Chen Luo's eyes flickered, and he quickly calmed his mind. The power of this top-grade immortal weapon was even more exaggerated than he had expected. With so many True Immortal Realm brains on him, none of them noticed the problem. If it weren't for the reminder from the Immortal Emperor Changqing, he might have been drowned in this long black river like the floating corpse before.
"How is it? Can I still be saved?"
Suddenly, a hand crossed the river.
A cold hand suddenly grabbed Chen Luo's wrist, and a pale and swollen face floated up from the river, staring straight at Chen Luo.
A female corpse.
To be precise, this female corpse is the real body of Zhang Yunwei's mother.
"When did you bring me here?" Chen Luo stretched out his right hand and touched her head.
No gain.
This woman is actually alive!
"Haven't you been here all the time?" the female corpse said in a dark voice.
When she said this, some strange memories appeared in Chen Luo's mind. These memories were like traces covered by dust, and after being reminded by Mrs. Zhang, they emerged little by little.
"Ghosts and monsters! You want to deceive me too? Blood Flame!"
Qiu Xianren's brain was filled with anger, as if he was ashamed of having been deceived before.
The power of the soul in the body started to work on its own, and a blood-red aura appeared in Chen Luo's sea of consciousness. The memory that had just emerged had not yet taken shape when it was wrapped in the blood flame and burned to ashes on the spot. The memory that had just taken shape disappeared in an instant, and the whole person felt much more refreshed.
The power of the blood flame spread from the sea of consciousness to the outside world and extended to the hands of the floating corpse woman.
hiss
White smoke rose up, and instantly burned the woman's arm into a skeleton. But she did not let go, and instead the expression on her face became more and more weird.
"Your aura has changed again."
Mrs. Zhang's tone of voice became more and more fluent, and the swelling on her face gradually receded, revealing a fair and cold face. Judging from her appearance alone, she was 90% similar to Zhang Yunwei before.
"Madam, what do you mean? Are you not going to treat the disease?"
Chen Luo's eyes narrowed as well. If this woman wasn't immortal, he would have taken action just now.
"I am very interested in you, sir, and would like to invite you to join us in the River of Rebirth and share the fruits of immortality."
Mrs. Zhang loosened her hand, and her charred arm recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Immortality?"
Chen Luo glanced at the river around him, then looked at Madam Zhang in front of him, and roughly understood his situation.
The main spirit of the supreme immortal weapon!
I don't know how this woman did it. After the 'River of Rebirth', this top-grade immortal weapon, went out of control, I don't know how many people it swallowed. There were many famous immortals among them, but in the end she was made the main spirit. This alone is enough to show the means of this woman.
"You can't achieve immortality by cultivating immortals. The Immortal Emperor is dead, so where can you go? Only by parasitizing in a top-grade immortal artifact like the 'River of Rebirth' can you achieve true immortality."
"But are you still you?"
Chen Luo was not interested in this alternative form of immortality.
In his opinion, the real Madam Zhang had died long ago. The person in front of him was just a strange creature in the appearance of Madam Zhang, no different from the strange monster he had met in the underworld before.
"Why not me? I have all the memories, emotions, and even my body from the past."
Madam Zhang stroked her body and slowly floated up from the black water. Her jade feet stepped on the water, and her gauze dress stuck to her body, highlighting her exquisite figure, like a ripe peach.
Chen Luo didn't say anything, just looked at the other person quietly.
"Everyone in this river could be me if I wanted to."
When he said this, the voice became a male voice, and the disappeared Wu Ling floated out from the side of Chen Luo. Madam Zhang, who was standing on the river, collapsed quickly like sand, and the remaining bones were carried away by the river.
The river became more and more turbulent.
Madam Zhang kept changing her body, and pale corpses emerged from the water. These faces included men and women, old and young, and each of them had complete memories and felt that they had gained immortality.
"It is indeed a top-grade immortal weapon."
This was the first time Chen Luo had seen a magical weapon of this level. Compared with the 'River of Rebirth', all the magical weapons on him seemed dull and dim, even the Soul Burial Banner, which was a top-grade magical weapon, was far behind. The power of a top-grade magical weapon was closer to the rules.
"how?"
Mrs. Zhang regained her original appearance.
"I don't want to live forever like this."
Chen Luo shook his head and refused directly.
He has an extraordinary talent, and with the help of more than 2,900 "seniors", immortality is within his reach. It is absolutely impossible to give up the existing Tongtian Road and become a floating corpse in the "Rebirth River". Anyway, he came here with only a clone, and with the power of the Illusion God Gu, it would be difficult to drown him completely even in the Rebirth River.
“That’s true.”
Mrs. Zhang showed a trace of regret on her face.
“What a pity.”
The pure white sea of clouds stretched as far as the eye could see. The original location of the Purple Air Island had completely disappeared, and a huge hole appeared in the center of the sea of clouds. Skeletons were floating around, and the power of destruction mixed with the unique blood power of the ancient gods distorted the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, the light distorted.
The surrounding light seemed to be attracted by something and turned into a counterclockwise vortex. The surrounding sea of clouds was also affected and gathered towards this area.
Buzz!
One foot stepped out of the vortex. Instantly, all the light gathered on the person who came. A figure wearing a white fairy robe and shrouded in golden fairy light appeared in the sky.
The sea of clouds calmed down and no longer surged.
The wind stopped.
Golden petals fell from the sky. The man stretched out his right hand and pointed his index finger at the air. A beam of light flew out from his fingertips and disappeared into the mist below.
The silent clouds and mist rolled up like mud, and after a moment, an old man in a gray robe emerged from the clouds. The old man had a bald head, a big head and a small body, and held a peach wood cane in his hand.
"Greetings to the Immortal Lord."
After the old man emerged from the clouds, he immediately bowed to the golden figure in the sky.
"Is this the Purple Air Island?"
The figure withdrew his right hand and asked condescendingly.
"Yes, this is the spiritual domain of the former Zi Qi Sect. The ribs sticking diagonally on the ground over there were left by the Sect Master of Zi Qi Sect." The old man nodded quickly in response.
This old man is the Yunhai Immortal, a minor official appointed by the Immortal Court.
The Cloud Sea Immortal is not a real immortal, his true body is the Cloud Sea below the Immortal Court. There is a Cloud Sea Immortal in every spiritual realm. These Cloud Sea Immortals maintain the order of the Cloud Sea and allow the spiritual veins of the immortal world to operate on their own. They are the most important cornerstone of the Immortal Court.
The golden figure in the sky waved his hand.
The rib that was inserted diagonally into the ground flashed and appeared in his hand. He stroked the rib with his right hand, and a few golden dots of light flew out from it and gathered in the hand of the golden figure.
He stretched out his hand and the golden light began to flicker. An emotion called "despair" spread out from it.
"Ancient Gods!! Why are there so many Ancient Gods?"
The roar before death was transmitted, and along with it, the emotion of 'despair'. The palm of the golden figure paused for a moment, and the index finger tapped out a wisp of dark red aura from it.
"It is indeed the Ancient God"
Master Yunhai also looked over curiously.
When the Ziqi Sect was destroyed, he fled overseas early in the morning and barely watched the beginning. He didn't know that those big guys were the legendary ancient gods.
"Not a remnant soul?"
A figure appeared behind the golden figure. Like the golden figure, this person was shrouded in fairy light, making it difficult to see clearly.
"There is a huge difference between the ancient god's residual soul and the ancient god's body. The former is full of ghostly energy, while the latter is full of blood and energy."
The golden figure who spoke first looked at the dark red aura in his hand and frowned. (End of this chapter)
