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 315 Legacy
Chen Luo was too lazy to ask what these ghost cultivators were doing.
From the moment he killed Xue Ning, he knew that the Ghost Temple would definitely come to trouble him later. The "Secret Book of the Upper Realm" in Xue Ning's hand was too hot to handle. It might not be a problem when it was in Xue Ning's hands, because this woman had a complicated identity and no one wanted to provoke her. But it was different when it fell into his hands, and those people would no longer have any scruples. The name of Taixu Patriarch Gu He could not deter the ghost cultivators, and the Qionghua Sect and the Ghost Temple were originally enemies.
After dealing with a few people, the people who were trapped in the restaurant finally came to their senses.
Solved?
There was a flash of shock in the eyes of Dude and Mu Xiaoyu.
They knew Chen Luo was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong. From the moment he attacked to the moment he captured the enemy, the entire process took only a blink of an eye, and the people in the restaurant didn't even know what happened. The two of them didn't see it clearly, they only felt a flash before their eyes, and the enemy disappeared.
"Are these the people from before?"
Dude looked at the grasshopper and mouse on the table and was shocked.
To them, Chen Luo's method was no different from that of a god.
Mu Xiaoyu was the same. Even though she had practiced in Qionghua Sect for such a long time, she had never seen such a strange method. The ancestors of Qionghua Sect were strong, but most of them chopped people into several pieces and used swords to reason with people. In terms of immortal methods, nothing could be as shocking as turning people into mice. At least at the level of Qi refining and foundation building, the shock brought by the transformation technique was more intuitive.
"Teacher, is this a magic technique?"
Mu Xiaoyu asked subconsciously.
“It’s just a small trick.”
Chen Luo sensed the changes in the people on the table. His transformation was not permanent. Once the heaven and earth energy he had borrowed was exhausted, these guys would return to normal. He was just trying it once.
"It's the Immortal Changsheng!"
While they were talking, someone nearby recognized Chen Luo. The scene just now was beyond their cognition. Several Qi Refining Realm cultivators in the crowd exclaimed with fanatic expressions in their eyes. Most of the cultivators who came to Heishan Village were admirers of the "Changsheng Zhenren". Now that they saw him in person, they naturally gathered around him immediately.
"Please accept me as your disciple!"
A few people in the crowd who reacted faster bowed their heads.
Chen Luo sat there expressionless. Those kneeling on the ground didn't even have spiritual roots. Judging from their clothes, they were all young people who had heard the story of the 'Eternal Immortal'. They knew nothing about the world of immortal cultivation, but they were yearning for the life of immortals, so they stayed here, thinking that as long as they were 'sincere' enough, they could get the guidance of the immortals and become free and immortal hermits.
Dude next to him showed a helpless expression. He had known that this would be the scene.
Even though the existence of Shenhu Xianmen is no longer a secret, it is still out of reach for ordinary people. Not to mention Chen Luo, a Jindan Zhenren, even Du De, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm, is considered a lofty "immortal" in the eyes of ordinary people.
"I'm going back to the sect first. When Qiuxian comes to the sect, you can ask him to give my token to the disciple guarding the mountain. I'll have someone arrange the follow-up matters." Chen Luo took out a token from his sleeve. This token was made for him by the elders of the immortal sect, and it represented the identity of 'Eternal Immortal'.
"It's troublesome."
Dude accepted the token, and his wife Yu Donglan quickly stood up to thank him. He subconsciously glanced at the group of people who were still kneeling next to him, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Why are these young people kneeling in front of the table?
"Let's go,"
After finishing his business, Chen Luo did not stay any longer. He returned to Shenhu Xianmen with Mu Xiaoyu and a few ghost cultivators he had captured.
The news that Changsheng Zhenren appeared in Heishan Village spread quickly, and a group of young people who had encountered the "immortal fate" but did not seize it stayed in the inn, believing that as long as they were sincere enough, sooner or later they would be able to impress the immortal and become the "protagonist" in the storybook.
After returning to Shenhu Xianmen, Chen Luo resumed his daily life.
In order to show his status, Wuwei Zhenren allocated the former main peak Shenhu Peak to him, allowing him to occupy one peak alone. A few foundation-building cultivators such as Huang Ying were also promoted, and the vacant main peaks of the immortal sect also had peak masters.
A few years later.
Inside the training room at Shenhu Peak.
Chen Luo opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of cold air, looking at the empty bottle in his hand, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. After several years of cultivation, the things looted from Xue Ning were almost consumed, and the golden elixir jade liquid in his body was increased again, now reaching thirteen drops. For a Jindan cultivator, this cultivation speed is very exaggerated.
"The soul has been greatly improved, but in order to complete the prerequisite of breaking the elixir and becoming an infant, more 'heart demons' must be found."
Chen Luo had been studying the upper realm skills left by Xue Ning for some time. He sorted out the skills in his mummy brain and found a completely different practice method from the Ghost Temple. He integrated it into his "Heart Demon Sutra", making the original Nascent Soul Chapter of the Heart Demon Sutra more complete.
The technique that Xue Ning originally practiced was the differentiation method.
By constantly enlightening the lower-level ghosts, she made these ghosts become her vassals, experienced their lives, and controlled their life and death. At the last moment, she took back everything, and integrated all the great powers into one body to break the barrier from the formation of Dan to the Nascent Soul, and shattered the Dan to become a Nascent Soul!
It is precisely because of this that Xue Ning wanted to learn the 'Thousand Silk Technique'.
This magical power of controlling puppets can help her control those vassal ghosts more perfectly and read everything about them. It's a pity that she didn't learn the Thousand Silk Technique until her death. The entry requirements of this magical power are too harsh, and the requirements for the soul and mind are too high. The most important thing is that the brain ability must be able to keep up.
Multitasking is a prerequisite.
Ordinary 'multitasking' is very simple for most cultivators, but it is not so easy to achieve perfect control, let alone to be so detailed as to the life of every ghost.
This big problem that Xue Ning tried his best to solve but couldn't be solved by Chen Luo.
When it comes to brains, he dares to say he is second to none and no one dares to say he is first.
After condensing the golden elixir, his carrying limit has not been reached yet. According to Chen Luo's estimation, the number of external brains he can carry this time is at least 500, and it may reach 1,000! This number will become more and more as the realm of cultivation increases.
"Xue Ning used the Thousand Silk Technique to control the ghosts. Using this method to imitate the 'immortal' in the painting is too low-level and cannot be cultivated to the highest level."
Thinking of this, Chen Luo looked towards the path planned for him by the mummy's brain.
Preach!
From the perspective of the mummy's brain, 'preaching' is the most suitable path of practice for this technique.
"The cultivation systems of the Seven Kingdoms and the Southern Region have been completely solidified. It would take too long to start over. The most important thing is that these two places are connected to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. If we openly 'preach' here, it will easily attract their attention. Qionghua Sect is not an option either. There are too many troubles in the sect."
Chen Luo had experienced this before.
When he was crossing the calamity, he was implicated. The other party's target was the Taixu Patriarch, and in the end the trouble fell on him. There will definitely be similar troubles when he goes back later. Gu He asked Mu Xiaoyu to bring the resources to him, so that he could take refuge outside and wait until everything was settled before sending someone to pick him up.
Now the conflict between the Qionghua Sect and the thousand-year-old country is becoming more and more intense. Behind them, Wan Yao Mountain and the Ghost Temple are also involved. If you are not careful, a melee will break out.
The world of immortal cultivation, with decreasing resources, is like a battle between great powers.
When development reaches a certain level, war will inevitably occur because everyone wants more resources.
“It’s better to find a brand new place and start from scratch and spread it little by little.”
Chen Luo set his sights on the southern waters.
This is where Xue Ning made his plans.
In Xue Ning's original plan, after occupying the Seven Kingdoms, he would extract soul fluid to practice the Thousand Silk Technique. When the Thousand Silk Technique was perfected, he would enter the sea area. This way, he could avoid the eyes of the centipede monster and the trouble of the ghost temple. The practice system in the sea area was also very different from theirs, so it would be relatively safe to preach there. When the practice was perfected and the Nascent Soul was successfully condensed, he would no longer have to be afraid of these enemies.
For this step, Xue Ning had already made arrangements in the sea area two hundred years ago. He has now established a considerable force there, and the prerequisites for practicing the martial arts have been met.
As the heir of Xue Ning's brain, Chen Luo felt that this "legacy" should be inherited by him.
"We are all Daoists. I was the one who took care of Brother Han Jiu's Gu Mo Mountain. Now it's Daoist Fellow Xue's turn. There is no reason for me to just leave it alone."
Master Chen Dan has always been kind-hearted.
Recently, as resources have been depleted, he has clearly felt that his cultivation speed is slowing down.
If he couldn't think of a solution, he might end up like Wuwei Zhenren, and his cultivation would stagnate. Just look at the three masters of the Xianmen Sect to see how difficult it is to cultivate to the Jindan stage. Those three old guys have been cultivating for their entire lives but are still only at the early stage of Jindan. The time spent on cultivation has not helped them much in improving their own realm, except for improving their proficiency in magical powers.
This is not just a problem for the three of them including the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect. All the cultivators in the entire Tiannan Region are facing the same dilemma.
This is what the Black Stone Ancestor did.
The same goes for Granny Hu from Fox Mountain.
Before these people formed their Dan, they were all rare geniuses among millions. But at this step, their immortal path seemed to have come to an end. They had no idea how to proceed with the step of Ningying or how to form Yuanying.
Even if there is a tradition, I cannot understand it.
Chen Luo did not have such doubts. He had the guidance of his uncle Gu He, and he also had the brain of a mummy in his body. He also inherited Xue Ning's "legacy" by chance. With the superposition of various factors, he did not lose his way forward like these people. So far, his path of cultivation is still extremely clear.
"It's a pity that we couldn't retrieve Brother Han Jiu's remains. It seems that this fate will have to be put off for a while."
After walking out of the cave, Chen Luo looked at the direction of the ghost temple with regret. Then he leaped up and turned into a ray of light and flew towards the south.
It’s not too far, just southeast of Yuanshe State.
"Finally I'm out."
At the foot of the mountain, a crane rode the wind and watched the light disappearing in the sky, cautiously poking its head out.
During this period, he would take a detour whenever he saw Chen Luo and try his best to avoid meeting him.
How can I seek justice when my nephew becomes my uncle?
After confirming that Chen Luo had left the mountain, Xianhe Chengfeng turned back into the 'Uncle Master' at the foot of the mountain. The aura of foundation building spread out, shocking those novice disciples who wanted to go up the mountain to seek the truth.
'This is the life I want.'
The crane stretches its wings in the wind, spreading its wings and posing like a white crane spreading its wings.
"Junior Brother Chengfeng, guard the mountain well."
Just when Chengfeng stood on the stone again and bullied the new disciple, a voice suddenly came to his ears. It was the voice transmission left by Chen Luo who had fled far away.
"Yes, Uncle Chen."
Xianhe Chengfeng shuddered and immediately responded respectfully.
