The gray-white wood sculpture rolled down beside the bookshelf, surrounded by scattered wood fragments. The wood sculpture was about half a meter high, cylindrical, with a mortise and tenon structure underneath. When Zhao Qi pulled it out before, he broke the mortise and tenon joint at the bottom, and the broken end was full of spike-like wood chips.

'What is this?'

Chen Luo looked at the wood carving and found that the pattern on the cylinder was very strange. When he looked at it, there were ripples like water. But when he used his immortal sense to look at it, he found that there was no wood underneath.

Immortal consciousness cannot observe!

Chen Luo had encountered something similar in the lower realm. The aura of the brain changed rapidly, and the brains of ghost cultivators, demon cultivators, and devil cultivators kept changing. But this time, no matter which path the cultivator took, they could not sense the wood carving with their spiritual sense.

This wood carving only appears when you look at it with your hands and eyes.

Chen Luo squatted down, took out a puppet, and tried to knock on the wood carving, but there was no response.

'Robbery.'

The brain of the Immortal Emperor Changqing suddenly emerged, and a thought flashed through his mind. But except for the brain of the Immortal Emperor Changqing, all other brains did not react, as if no one except the Immortal Emperor Changqing had ever seen such a thing, including the Immortal Qiu and the Black Snake Demon Saint.

"Robbery?"

Chen Luo tried to access the brain of the Immortal Emperor Changqing, but found nothing except these two words. Chen Luo guessed that this part of the content should be in the remaining brain of the Emperor's Tomb, which might contain the secret of the death of the Immortal Emperor Changqing.

The footsteps of the head of the Wu family came from downstairs.

"Brother Chen, I just checked with the formation, and there is no trace of external enemies. I suspect..." Halfway through his words, the head of the Wu family saw the second big hole on the wall next to Chen Luo.

Smashed again?

This is the family library. If it weren't for the rampage of the "Rebirth River", outsiders wouldn't even be able to enter this place. In the past, if someone dared to smash the Wu family's library like this, they would be caught by the Wu family that day, and even the Great Immortal Zhuxie would be alarmed.

But now, apart from the puppets, the head of the Wu family is the only living person left, so many rules are not so important anymore.

"Has the master ever seen such a thing?"

Chen Luo turned around and saw the head of the Wu family going upstairs. He pointed at the target on the ground and asked. The head of the Wu family had a long life and was knowledgeable. He knew a lot of news that was not recorded in many books. Just like the previous "Demon Immortal Rebellion".

"What?"

The head of the Wu family was a little confused. He first looked at the place where Chen Luo pointed, and then looked at Chen Luo who was standing opposite him.

The place was empty.

There was nothing there except the shattered debris from the exploded wooden wall.

"Can't you see this wood carving?"

Chen Luo immediately felt something was wrong.

"Wooden carving?"

Seeing that Chen Luo didn't seem to be lying, Patriarch Wu stepped forward and checked again. This time, his body went straight through the wood sculpture. This strange cylindrical wood sculpture did not exist at all in Patriarch Wu's field of vision.

"Our Wu family's library has never stored wood carvings."

“Right.”

Halfway through his words, Chen Luo discovered that the wooden sculpture on the ground had disappeared. It disappeared very abruptly, without any signs, as if a frame of the picture was missing. The weirdest thing was that the talisman paper figurine he had placed on the wooden sculpture also disappeared, as if he had never drawn the talisman paper figurine.

"Brother Chen? Brother Chen!"

The voice of the head of the Wu family came from far away and woke Chen Luo up.

Chen Luo frowned and ignored the doubtful look of the Wu family head. He turned his head and asked Zhao Qi's puppet behind the bookshelf.

"Did you see how that thing disappeared?"

"What?"

Zhao Qi's puppet also looked bewildered. This made Chen Luo feel even more that something was wrong, and he subconsciously mobilized the more than 2,900 brains in his body.

'It's not an illusion.'

'There really was a wood carving just now.'

"It might be a monster!"

Countless thoughts came up, confirming the scene Chen Luo had seen before. One person might make a mistake, but 2,900 brains stacked together would never make a mistake, especially when there was an Immortal Emperor in these brains.

"That thing can even affect a puppet like Zhao Qi!"

Chen Luo felt that the situation was a bit tricky. Compared with the troubles of the Wu family, this "calamity" of unknown origin was even more difficult to deal with.

"Have you heard of 'robbery energy'?"

Chen Luo did not argue with Patriarch Wu, but directly asked about the source. The aura on the wood carving must be the "Calamity Aura". This is the Immortal Emperor Changqing.

"Robbery?"

Patriarch Wu thought for a moment and finally shook his head. He also noticed that something was wrong with Chen Luo, but he did not think it was caused by the "disaster energy". Instead, he thought that Chen Luo was cursed, or that there was something wrong with his practice.

"Before I became an immortal, I heard a lot of news about the great heavenly tribulation. It is said that there will be signs before the inner demon tribulation comes."

“It’s not this kind of calamity.”

Chen Luo did not ask any more questions. He suspected that the power of "Calamity Energy" might be of a higher level. Only the Immortal Emperor knew about it. It was the deepest secret in the Immortal Realm.

"Still want to continue watching?"

The head of the Wu family looked at the hole next to him and couldn't help but ask.

"That's it."

After encountering two "disasters" in succession, Chen Luo was ready to go back and think of a solution. He would first look at the properties of the "disaster" and then determine the scope of the disaster. If only the Wu family was covered by the disaster, then Chen Luo would run away in advance.

The 'River of Rebirth' is such a big goal that there is no time to waste in digging it.

He pulled out a book from the bookshelf next to him and ended the conversation.

After leaving the library, the two returned to their respective houses.

night.

Wu Feng was repairing the formation in the backyard. Wu Ling was lying quietly on the floor in the yard like a dead body. Some black water emerged from the surrounding area from time to time and then quickly disappeared.

The head of the Wu family thought about moving his son back into the house, but before he could get close, a large amount of black water gushed out of Wu Ling's body, almost dragging him into the "River of Rebirth". He had no choice but to leave the man in the yard.

"I don't know if the ancestor has found a solution."

After repairing the last node of the formation, the head of the Wu family walked to the corner of the wall and sat down next to the Rebirth Tree. He had been here for some time recently, and the erosion of the Rebirth River had not disappeared. The corrosion speed of the formation was several times faster than before, and he had to keep an eye on it.

In the middle of the yard, Wu Ling lay quietly on the ground.

The dim light shone on his face, and he looked like he was asleep, motionless. From time to time, black water drops would appear on the edges of his hair and clothes. These water drops scattered around, forming an irregular circle.

Wu Feng just watched quietly.

"If I had not agreed to the Zhang family's marriage proposal, wouldn't so many things have happened?"

A thought of regret flashed through my mind.

The marriage with the Zhang family, the imperial clan, was a decision made after many elders of the Wu family discussed it. At that time, Wu Feng, as the head of the family, played a big role. At that time, he didn't think too much about it, he just wanted his son to be related to the imperial clan to improve the family's status.

The plan was good, but I never expected the Zhang family to be so treacherous.

From the beginning, they regarded their Wu family as the outlet of the "River of Rebirth", and wanted to use Wu Ling's special physique to alleviate their family's crisis. Now that things have come to this point, there is no point in regretting, and they can only continue to bear it and hope that the ancestor Zhuxie Daxian can find a solution.

"Things have already happened. What's the point of thinking so much? As the head of the family, what you have to do is to lead the Wu family to continue to prosper and cultivate a second third-level true immortal before the ancestor dies."

An old voice sounded in his ears, and an old man with a dragon-headed cane sat down next to Wu Feng.

“That being said.”

Patriarch Wu sighed, feeling even more guilty.

The old man did not say anything else. He sat beside the tree like the head of the Wu family. The two of them sat quietly, looking at Wu Ling in the yard. (End of this chapter)
