I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

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...

Chapter 1031 Killing Intent

It’s only been a few days since I last came here, but it feels like hundreds of years have passed in the library.

Recently, the Wu family has been decaying at an increasingly rapid pace. Both the buildings and the furnishings inside have been eroded by the "River of Rebirth". The head of the Wu family has been staying in the backyard for a while, constantly repairing the formation.

“It’s like being soaked in river water.”

Chen Luo reached out and touched the bookshelf next to him, and the soft and rotten feeling of the rotten wood came back to him.

The Wu family's library was full of protective restrictions. Even a second-step True Immortal would be trapped to death in the building. But such a powerful restriction still couldn't stop the power of the 'River of Rebirth'.

The power of the top-grade immortal weapon is even more exaggerated than expected.

Chen Luo has been thinking about this problem for a while. External magic weapons are also a great reliance for cultivators. He needs to find a way to use the Soul Burial Banner in his hand.

Snap!

A crisp sound came from the left.

The bookshelf next to it seemed to have been eroded by time and could not withstand the pressure, so cracks appeared.

"There is murderous intent."

Thoughts of hatred suddenly emerged.

Chen Luo stopped and looked in the direction of the external brain's sensing. The originally solid wooden wall had become mottled at some point. The dark cracks were like spider webs, covering the entire wall. The bookshelf at the edge lay crookedly, as if it was missing a corner, and the few books on it were scattered all over the floor.

Chen Luo spread out his spiritual sense but did not find anyone.

If it weren't for the murderous aura that Chou Yuan practiced, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense the other party's presence.

"Master?"

The Wu family is now empty, with only Chen Luo and the head of the Wu family being the only living people. The puppets do all the trivial things on weekdays, including guarding the gate.

The wooden floor made a creaking sound when my feet stepped on it, as if it would break at any time.

When Chen Luo was about to reach the edge of the bookshelf, a red light suddenly flashed behind the black crack. A scarlet eyeball appeared behind the crack, looking at Chen Luo with greed and malice in its eyes.

boom!

Chen Luo pressed one hand in, gathered the power of the immortal spirit in his palm, and grabbed the person behind the wall. The restriction exploded, and wooden debris flew everywhere.

But strangely, this move failed.

There was no one behind the exploded wooden wall. The cold wind blowing from outside made Chen Luo frown.

'Disappeared?'

His immortal consciousness kept searching, but there was nothing around him. The scarlet eyeball seemed to be his hallucination.

"Daoyou Chen?"

The voice of the head of the Wu family came from outside, and his breath approached quickly, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at the second floor. Looking at the huge hole in the wall, he was stunned for a moment. During this period of time, Chen Luo would come to the library every now and then, but he had never done anything out of the ordinary.

Now that the wall of the building was suddenly blown down, he couldn't help but think too much.

"What happened?"

"I saw a man."

Chen Luo did not hide anything and immediately told what had happened before.

After hearing this, Patriarch Wu frowned even deeper.

The library is the heartland of their Wu family, and the restrictions inside were set up by the Great Immortal Zhuxie himself. It is stronger than the defense of the backyard. If Chen Luo is not lying, it means that someone has sneaked into the Wu family and started to spy on their family's inheritance. But this is not reasonable. The other party sneaked in with great difficulty, so why would he expose himself for no reason?

"I'll use the formation to search, you better be careful."

After saying this, Patriarch Wu turned around and walked outside.

After spending so much time together, the head of the Wu family also saw that Chen Luo had his own purpose. But he didn't care. Everyone had their own demands. As long as Chen Luo was willing to help him get through the disaster of the "River of Rebirth", he would be his own. Within the scope of his authority, he gave all the resources he could to Chen Luo. As a result, a third person suddenly appeared. How could he feel at ease!

"rest assured."

Chen Luo nodded in response and continued walking inside.

He has finished reading all the books outside, and today he wants to find the cursed book.

After walking along the road for a while, Chen Luo soon came to the bookshelf inside. This layer is full of bookshelves of curse magic collected by the Wu family, and there are many special curses in it. The "mind curse" that the black figure cursed him before was recorded here.

Take down one book and the restrictions on it will dissipate automatically.

The head of the Wu family gave Chen Luo a family head token. This token can be used to browse all non-family core books for free.

"The curse of the soul comes from within, and is guided by desire."

The book briefly introduces the "Mind Curse" and also records the corresponding curse materials below.

'Bone, blood, spirit, and breath.'

When she read this, a memory suddenly emerged in the old woman from the Skeleton Clan's external brain.

In a dark cave, a white-haired girl sat cross-legged in the middle. In front of her was a stone platform. The stone platform was engraved with dense grooves. Dark red bloodstains remained in the grooves, and an eyeball was placed in the middle.

The white-haired girl raised her right hand and bit her index finger.

Blood dripped from her index finger and landed precisely on the eyeball. With a hiss, a layer of white mist rose from the surface of the eyeball, and the eyeball shrank rapidly. The white-haired girl took the opportunity to stretch out her right hand, and her palm seemed to become ethereal, and she passed through the middle of the stone platform.

Phew!

The sound of flesh tearing apart was heard, and then the white-haired girl was seen pulling back her hand. The patterns on the stone platform continued to ripple like water, splashing out circles of ripples shaped like tree rings.

The fresh heart was fished out from the stone platform by the white-haired girl.

"It's done!"

A trace of joy flashed across the white-haired girl's face. The next moment, her face aged visibly. In the blink of an eye, she turned from a young girl into an old woman with gray hair and chicken skin.

This appearance is exactly the same as the old woman Chen Luo saw in the Skeleton Sect before.

The memory faded, and Chen Luo quickly closed his eyes. The method corresponding to the "Mind Curse" appeared in his mind, and the memory of countless times of practicing and casting the curse, and the passing of his lifespan resurfaced. When Chen Luo opened his eyes again, the memory related to the "Mind Curse" had been completely recorded.

"Yes, another gain."

Putting down the book, Chen Luo began to look through the remaining curse books.

For Chen Luo, the library is a place to find "memories". Each of the external brains in his body has its own life. These lives are different. The lack of brain integrity makes it impossible for these brains to complete their memories. What Chen Luo has to do is to find similar inheritances from their lifetime.

Through reproduction, we can retrieve other people's lives.

Chen Luo had used this method frequently before, and many of his magical powers were learned in this way.

One layer is completed.

Chen Luo turned and went to the next bookshelf.

Just as he turned to leave, the murderous intent that had disappeared before reappeared. A scarlet eyeball appeared on the right wall again.

This time, there was no need for an external brain to remind him, Chen Luo himself felt it.

Chen Luo stopped and turned around to look. This time the scarlet eyeball did not disappear. It was still hidden behind the crack, staring at him.

"Who are you?"

The scarlet eyes said nothing, just continued to look at him.

Chen Luo narrowed his eyes and his spiritual consciousness spread over.

The strange scene appeared again. Under the perception of the immortal consciousness, there was nothing in front of him. There were no cracks, no scarlet eyes, and everything seemed to be just his illusion.

Neither of them spoke, just standing there facing each other in silence.

Suddenly, the wooden wall exploded, and an arm covered with wood grain penetrated the wall and accurately pinched the face of the person behind the crack. The terrifying brute force exploded, and the weirdo was dragged out from behind the wall.

The one who took action was the puppet Zhao Qi!

Zhao Qi, who caught the figure, slowly revealed his true form. On his right arm, a fat poisonous insect was crawling on it, and its two tentacles continuously emitted a faint light.

It’s the soul-parasitic Gu!

Chen Luo had naturally thought of a plan to deal with an enemy who was full of murderous intent. No matter how good he was at hiding, with the soul-parasitic insect and puppet, I didn't believe he couldn't be dealt with! (End of this chapter)
