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 228 Gu and Insects

Chapter 228 Gu and Insects

'Soul-parasitic Gu, one of the most unique Gu in the world.'

In the external brain, a brain that was specialized in Gu arts suddenly had an idea. All this knowledge was read by Chen Luo when he was in Black Stone City through Madam Hua. For him, it was just an impression, but in the eyes of these external brains, it was like "pre-life memory", especially those related to his own practice direction, which could be easily remembered and mastered.

"The world's most mysterious Gu?"

Chen Luo's eyes narrowed, and when he looked at the amulet again, he found something different. The amulet looked like a small square ornament with some patterns carved on the surface, but in fact, these patterns were transformed by the Gu worm, and it only looked so ordinary after Elder Rong Ling used his magical power to fuse and seal it.

Elder Rong Ling, who was able to cultivate to the perfection of foundation building and strive for the formation of Dan, also had his own adventures, and this poisonous insect should be his greatest adventure. During the Heart Demon Tribulation, Chen Luo and he had been uncle and nephew for a lifetime, and he had shown kindness to him. When the Tao disappeared, the awakened Zhang Rong Ling chose to give this thing to Chen Luo, which was also a kind of return.

'The soul-hosting Gu feeds on souls and strengthens itself by hosting souls. It is the Gu insect that puppet Gu practitioners dream of.'

Corresponding memories continued to emerge in Gu Xiu's brain.

"Soul transfer?"

Looking at the corpse puppet in front of him that had been blown into meat paste, Chen Luo had a preliminary understanding of the power of this poisonous insect.

The corpse puppet has no soul, and the soul-parasitic insect has parasitized its heart, eating it up from the inside. The little remaining soul power in the corpse has gathered into a point, turning it into a monster like this. If the soul power is intact, the soul-parasitic insect can live in the body and control the bones to walk, just like a living person.

"Maybe this thing can be used to pretend to be a human."

A thought flashed through Chen Luo's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

Raise your hand again.

The rich spiritual power dissipated and turned into a pool of mist. He grabbed the blood vessel and meridian monster in front of him and pulled it out with one hand. With a sound of "ripping", the insect was pulled out by him. This is the most commonly used peeling method for Gu cultivators. As long as it is their own Gu, it can be easily peeled out using this method.

Chen Luo has never learned it, but he knows how to use it.

The first time I used it, the effect was almost the same as the feeling before I was born.

After the poisonous insect left the corpse puppet's heart, it was quickly recovered and turned into a golden amulet floating in Chen Luo's palm.

"It's not possible for humans at the moment, but if I send my soul to you."

Chen Luo thought of the three strange insects he had obtained from the casual cultivator Wang Zangxiao. The three strange insects that guy had refined were still gathering dust in his hands. The strange insect control method was different from the ordinary insect control method. He only had the ordinary insect control method in his hands. Even if Wang Zangxiao's brain was in his hands, he still couldn't control the three strange insects. As long as he released them, the three insects would definitely run away.

But now that we have the soul-parasitic insect, we can change our thinking.

Gu worms cannot be separated.

Use the Soul-Parsing Gu to control the strange insect. If the strange insect is killed by the enemy, the Soul-Parsing Gu inside can still give the enemy a surprise. It looks perfect at first glance! When you have mastered the taming method of the strange insect in the later stage, you can extract the Soul-Parsing Gu and use it in other places.

He slapped the insect bag, and a silver centipede flew out. This insect had been sealed for such a long time, but it was still gnawing inside. Chen Luo had already eaten up a small part of the spiritual power that he had sealed in it.

This is the horror of the strange insects. They are very difficult to kill and cannot be solved by sealing them with spiritual power. As long as there is enough time, they can still break free.

The silver centipede immediately struggled after leaving the spiritual power blockade, its body twisting constantly. Chen Luo did not give it a chance, and pressed the hand holding the soul parasite on it.

The moment it touched the silver centipede, a layer of light golden light immediately escaped from the amulet, and this layer of light was connected to the silver centipede like a thread, dozens or even hundreds of golden "threads", giving people a tingling feeling on their scalp. The silver centipede, sensing the danger, struggled violently, and began to frantically bite the surrounding spiritual energy, its claws constantly scratching.

Strange insects and strange poisons!

But it was obvious that the Soul Parasite was better, because it was famous for its parasitism. The golden thread penetrated little by little, and the silver centipede's struggle gradually became smaller, and a light golden luster began to appear on its body.

Only at this time did Chen Luo see the appearance of the soul-parasitic insect clearly.

Those golden threads are not energy, but densely packed Gu worms, numbering in the hundreds of millions! A single Soul-Parsing Gu cannot be seen by ordinary people at all, and even with divine sense, it can be overlooked if one is not careful. The amulet is a combination of countless Soul-Parsing Gu.

After a moment, all the soul-parasitic insects spread over, and the color of the strange centipede changed to dark gold. Under Chen Luo's control, it raised its pincers and a fierce aura spread out.

Chen Luozang tried to sense it.

The soul-parasitic insect was something he brought out from the inner demon calamity. It was a refined insect. With the presence of the soul-parasitic insect, Chen Luo easily controlled the silver centipede.

“It really works.”

Chen Luo tried to sense it and found that the strange insects were indeed extraordinary. No wonder he couldn't stop these three strange insects even when he controlled the sea of ​​insects. This gave him some ideas. Maybe he could cultivate more strange insects in the later stage. Once a sea of ​​insects was formed, no one at the same level would be his opponent.

Carrying the parasitic centipede, Chen Luo walked to the entrance of the cave and pushed away the stones outside.

Boom

The boulder rolled aside, and the fresh air from outside rushed in. The fresh air refreshed him. A cold breeze blew gently, and in the distance there were trees and rocks. The formation that was set up when he entered the cave was still the same. During the time he was in seclusion, no one passed by here.

"go."

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Chen Luo controlled the silver centipede to fly out.

Buzz!!

The silver centipede stretched its back and grew two pairs of thin silver wings. It flapped its four wings and suddenly disappeared from the spot. With Chen Luo's eyesight, he almost missed it. Whether it was controlling insects or controlling corpses, the most fundamental power was the power of consciousness. Chen Luo, who had practiced the Black Stone Secret Art, had already reached the level of foundation building.

Even now, his spiritual awareness is still growing slowly. Ordinary people who have completed the foundation building are slightly inferior to him. Naturally, the effect of using this power to control the strange insect is extremely good.

The dark golden color flew out of the woods and instantly smashed through the tree in front of it, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Then it spread its wings and began to fly around in a circle. One tree after another collapsed under the movement of this dark golden line.

"Gengjin Qi."

Chen Luo controlled the centipede, and the spiritual power in his body turned. The power of supernatural power quickly turned into a layer of light golden spiritual power, covering the back of the silver centipede.

This is the Five Elements Divine Power. With his current strength, the Gengjin power added is even sharper. The divine consciousness spread further, and the speed of the silver centipede increased again, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, as if it was everywhere.

The collision sound disappeared and turned into a low penetrating sound.

A black storm spread around, and pieces of rubble flew up.

The silver centipede with the energy of Gengjin was extremely sharp. No matter whether it was a stone or a tree, it turned into tofu dregs in front of it and shattered at the slightest touch.

The centipede flew farther and farther, and the dark golden storm spread out in a circle like a tornado. It flew a long distance, and Chen Luo's consciousness reached its limit. Here, Chen Luo saw a post station.

Rugged mountain roads and old post stations.

This is the world where ordinary people live. Chen Luo controls the silver centipede to prevent it from crushing this place.

"The ancient forest is quiet among the pines, and the fish swim in the clear pond"

An old man riding a donkey was singing in the mountains. Chen Luo controlled the silver centipede to land on a tree. He discovered another ability of the soul-parasitic insect, the spread of spiritual consciousness.

Originally, his spiritual awareness had reached its limit after arriving here, but under the effect of the soul-parasitic insect, his spiritual awareness increased again. This increase was like a "transit station", allowing him to clearly "see" everything around the post station.

Ouch!!

A hungry black bear jumped out from the side. The black bear was nearly four meters long, and its ferocious eyes were red. Hunger had made it lose its mind.

"monster?!"

The old man riding the donkey was startled at first, then frightened.

He had walked this road dozens of times and had never heard of bears here. But at this critical moment of life and death, he didn't care much and immediately jumped off the donkey's back, pulling out a short knife to give himself courage.

But with his limited skills, he was no match for the black bear that had absorbed the evil spirit. His hand holding the dagger began to tremble. As for the donkey, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, not daring to move at all.

Bang!

Just as the black bear was about to pounce, a dark golden light flashed by, like a divine light. The old man had no idea what was happening. The black bear's head in front of him suddenly exploded, blood splattered, and the huge bear body fell straight to the ground, without a sound.

"The gods have appeared"

The old man was so frightened that the dagger in his hand fell to the ground, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The old man did not see the silver centipede, but only saw the bear monster pounce on him, and then his head exploded with a bang.

For the old man, this mysterious experience is definitely an unforgettable one in his life.

After devouring the bear monster, a dark golden light streaked across the sky and reappeared outside the cave.

Streams of light surrounded its body and it flew around for several times before slowly slowing down. Its four wings vibrated and it hovered in the air.

"This bug is more than twice as strong as it was in Wang Zangxiao's hands. It is incredibly fast. After adding the Gengjin Qi, its penetrating power has also been greatly improved. It is equivalent to turning the inherent 'Gengjin Qi' into a living thing, and the effect is even more perfect."

If the strange insect controlled by Wang Zangxiao had this ability, he would not have ended up like that.

He had just made a rough estimate that after the fusion of the silver centipede and the soul-parasitic insect, the speed had reached the level of perfect foundation building, which was too fast for mortals to even see.

Reach out and pick up the silver centipede.

Looking at the strange insect in his hand, Chen Luo calmed down.

The aftermath of the inner demon calamity completely disappeared, and he knew that his cultivation had advanced another step forward.

His current methods, for ordinary people, are already "miracles". Just like the old man before, he didn't even know who saved him or what method he used, he could only shout "God" in awe.
