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 300: Suspicion

"Gu He, are you going to go to war with our thousand-year-old country?"

Two more figures appeared. They quickly rescued the fallen prime minister and activated the surrounding earth veins again, causing a new circle of defense. The people who came were the Taiwei and the Imperial Censor of the Millennium Ancient Country. They represented the three strongest people in the Millennium Ancient Country besides the Imperial Master and the Emperor.

"Weak, but unaware of it."

The magic power around Gu He started to circulate, and the earth energy that the three people mobilized with the help of magic weapons was cut off by him.

"Use the imperial master's spell."

The three of them bit their index fingers at the same time, and the blood stained a pure white stone talisman. The stone talisman was stained with blood, and a circle of gray-white areas suddenly emerged. One by one, hazy figures appeared. These figures were wearing monk robes. In the middle, eighteen people worked together to lift a Dharma carriage, on which sat a gloomy monk wearing a monk's hat.

'The sea of ​​suffering is endless, turn back and you will find the shore'

As soon as the Dharma carriage appeared, strange sounds spread out like sound waves and began to release spiritual attacks.

"You think a mere projection can mess with my mind?"

Gu He in the air was not affected at all. The sword energy in his hand gathered, and the Nascent Soul level spiritual power gathered at one point. The sword energy was overwhelming, and he swept down with one sword.

boom!!

The demons and monsters that had just formed below were cut by the sword energy. The exploding sword energy exploded in the middle of the team, forming a green sword energy lotus.

Those evil monks who had no time to react were swept away by the sword energy, and their corpses were scattered all over the ground with heads rolling down.

The annoying sound suddenly stopped. Gu He's strength was beyond the expectations of the centipede monster, so that many of their calculations fell through.

It was a mistake from the very first step.

However, existence at this level requires testing. Only through repeated testing can one find out the other party's background and finally succeed.

"ah!!"

The three people below had no idea that the trump card given to them by the national teacher was not even taken. After screaming, three heads flew high.

The sword energy swept across and slashed the ground below, forming a huge gully.

"You killed two elders of my Qionghua Sect, and I will kill three of your officials."

"Yes."

The shadow twisted, and a cold and sharp voice was heard.

"If you are dissatisfied, you can come to Taixu Peak to find me."

Sheathing his sword, Gu He looked in the direction where the voice came from. The figure in the Dharma carriage opened his eyes. Their eyes collided, and invisible ripples spread out. After the touch, the power of the Dharma carriage faded, and the state master sitting inside turned into dust and disappeared.

"This matter is not over yet."

"If you dare to come, I will chop you up and soak you in wine."

Gu He walked forward and stepped down. The translucent shadows gathered into a huge translucent sole, and stepped down into the air. The three corpses on the ground, along with the stone talisman, were all crushed into meat paste by him, and the sword energy was mixed in, cutting off the roots.

The chessboard that he had chopped into pieces flew up from below and was put into his sleeve.

After dealing with these guys, Gu He flew back.

After explaining the matter to the disciples of Qionghua Sect, Gu He set out to return. A few days later, after completing the mission of the Millennium Ancient Country, Gu He went to Yaowang City and found Yu Junyao and Xuan Ji. The Ghost Temple, the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain and the Millennium Ancient Country were mixed together, obviously targeting the Qionghua Sect. As his only relative, Chen Luo could easily be used as a breakthrough point.

He just happened to have some time, so he stopped by to take a look. He was not going to tell Chen Luo about this little thing. Everyone has his own "path" to follow. Gu He thought the path Chen Luo has chosen now was very good. As an elder, what he had to do was to guide him.

"How is Xiao Luo now?"

"Junior brother seems to have entered the inner demon tribulation."

Hearing Master's question, Yu Junyao replied cautiously.

"I sensed a ray of calamity before." Xuan Ji also responded at the right time.

"Didn't I tell you to notify me once Xiao Luo starts to overcome the tribulation?"

There was a hint of displeasure on Gu He's face.

Especially Xuan Ji. He sent this Xuanniao clan member to form a Dan to keep an eye on him at all times. He didn't expect that this person couldn't even do such a small thing.

"Junior brother did not survive the thunder tribulation."

Yu Junyao was also very upset. She couldn't beat this junior brother at all. Now Chen Luo didn't allow her to go, and she would be sent back. There was no way to monitor him anytime and anywhere. She only knew about the other party's entry into the Heart Demon Tribulation through the Xuanji Elder of the Xuanniao Clan.

The same went for Xuan Ji next to him. He originally thought that this would be a simple task, but he did not expect that Chen Luo's spiritual sense was very powerful. As soon as he, a member of the Xuanniao clan, got close to the Jindan, he would be sensed by the other party. After trying twice, he gave up completely. He did not want to offend Chen Luo, the descendant of the Taixu ancestor.

"There is indeed no aura of thunder." Xuan Ji said affirmatively.

"Didn't you survive the thunder tribulation? It wasn't the inner demonic aura caused by the thunder tribulation."

Gu He hesitated for a moment.

He remembered the furnace of pills that had exploded because of Chen Luo. The main ingredient in that furnace of pills was the head of the Heart Demon Ancestor. Because Chen Luo broke into the furnace, the pills were scrapped prematurely and the furnace exploded.

“The relics of the old demon?

Gu He's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered the rosary he gave to Chen Luo.

"Ancestor?"

The two asked cautiously, not knowing what Gu He was thinking.

"Where is he now?"

"In Yunxiao County, Tianmu Kingdom"

Before the two of them finished their words, they saw the Taixu Patriarch disappear in front of them, leaving only a residual image that gradually faded.

Snap!

The rosary shattered, and a gray curse penetrated into Chen Luo's mind through his nasal cavity.

As soon as it entered the body, the Heart Demon Ancestor's brain became active.

'Reverse the arrangement, the curse can be absorbed.'

The spiritual power in his body circulated on its own, and the curse was reversed and cracked before it spread. It turned into energy and merged into Chen Luo's virtual pill. The remaining energy on the ghost temple rosary was also absorbed by him.

Originally, Chen Luo was still one step away from accumulation, but after absorbing the relics of the Heart Demon Ancestor, he was completely complete.

“We’re finally here.”

Sensing the changes in his body, Chen Luo felt a ripple in his heart.

After practicing for more than 40 years, he completed his foundation building at the age of 60 and touched the golden elixir path. He originally thought that he would have to stay in Yunxiao County for at least seven years, but he didn't expect that the Ghost Temple Rosary would bring him a big surprise.

A wisp of calamity energy plus the remaining curse energy of the Inner Demon Ancestor helped him complete this last step.

"This thing"

The fragments of the rosary fell to the ground and turned into a pile of grayish-white stones. Chen Luo reached out and picked up one, and had some guesses in his mind.

He was able to successfully resolve the curse in the rosary because he had the Heart Demon Ancestor's brain. If it weren't for the Heart Demon Ancestor's brain, the curse would have fallen completely on him. Chen Luo didn't know what realm the Heart Demon Ancestor was in when he was alive, but being able to resist the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua alone was definitely not something he could handle now.

'Someone wants to kill me?'

Chen Luo instantly thought of Taixu ancestor Gu He.

Before going down the mountain, Senior Sister Yu Junyao had told him that while he stayed with the ancestor and enjoyed the benefits, he would also be targeted by the ancestor's enemies. This time, it was most likely that he was plotted against by the enemies of the ancestor Taixu.

It’s a pity that those who plotted against him didn’t expect that the Heart Demon Ancestor’s brain was in his body. Using the Heart Demon Ancestor’s curse to deal with him, what’s the difference between that and giving benefits?

"First, form the elixir."

Chen Luo made a decision.

"The perfect golden elixir must survive the nineteenth heavenly tribulation."

In the external brain, corresponding information appeared simultaneously from the Heart Demon Ancestor and the mummy's brain.

The 19th thunder tribulation is a symbol of the perfect elixir. For the immortal cultivators, the 19th thunder tribulation represents perfection and is the beginning of the immortal path. After that, they will experience the 29th thunder tribulation, the 39th thunder tribulation, and finally the 99th thunder tribulation.

There are ninety-nine and eighty-one calamities of heaven and earth. If you cross them, you can soar into the sky.

The difficulty in becoming an immortal lies in this point.

There is a saying that goes 'It is difficult to become an immortal even if you never perish from calamity', which is exactly the truth. Every step in this world is a form of cultivation.

Dawn.

Chen Luo stood up and walked out of the house.

It had just rained a little outside, the fragrance of the soil filled the air, and clear water droplets hung on the green buds.

Chen Luo is in good spirits.

He remembered that Li the Butcher's son Li Fugui was coming to worship him as his disciple today. He and the kid originally had a master-disciple relationship, but a plot by the evil cultivators in the Ghost Temple saved him several years of hard training. It would have taken him seven years to achieve the state of perfection. Now that he had reached perfection, the next step was to find a place to transcend the tribulation.

But before leaving, Chen Luo still wanted to see Li Fugui.

This child had been his father and son in the previous "Heart Demon Tribulation". Although Chen Yuanzhi in the "Heart Demon Tribulation" was an aggregation of many individual consciousnesses, the child Li Fugui was definitely the main body of it.

After a foundation-building cultivator has passed the inner demon calamity, he can be promoted to the Jindan stage, live for a thousand years, and become a god-like figure on earth.

What will ordinary people gain if they overcome their inner demons?

This time, the "heart demon calamity" was an opportunity brought by the combination of the Heart Demon Ancestor's relics and Chen Luo's Heart Demon Art. For ordinary people, it was "immortal fate", which might not be encountered in several lifetimes. However, if you can endure the immortal fate, it is "fate", and if you can't endure it, it is "calamity".

Li Fugui seized this opportunity.

That's why Chen Luo wanted to meet him.

While Chen Luo was waiting for Li Fugui and his son to come, Gu He's figure appeared in the sky above Yunxiao County. He felt relieved after his spiritual sense swept over and sensed that Chen Luo was intact below.

"Huh?"

Just as Gu He was about to retract his spiritual sense, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

According to his calculations, Chen Luo, who originally needed another ten years to complete the accumulation, now had a unified aura, and faintly flashed with golden light. This was a sign that the Void Pill was perfect and was about to pass the tribulation.

'Someone is watching from above.'

In the house, Chen Luo was making morning tea when a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

'The ancient Taixu River!'

The Heart Demon Ancestor's brain gave more accurate feedback because the other party was his mortal enemy in his previous life.

Chen Luo paused, and his guarded aura instantly relaxed, with a smile on his face. He had just been attacked last night, and today, Patriarch Taixu came over. This treatment was unique in the entire Qionghua Sect.

Gu He observed him from above for a moment, and after confirming that there was no problem, he left quietly. He also wanted to go back to the mountain to discuss the hidden troubles behind this matter with the remaining six people, especially the Thousand-Eyed Centipede in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain.
