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...
"What a pity, his brain is smashed."
After confirming that Master Yu Lian was really dead, Chen Luo flew over. He looked at the dead Master Yu Lian in front of him with a little regret. This brain was basically useless. He touched it with his hand and only absorbed a very light gray gas.
No obsession at all.
The White Jade Centipede Monster is very strong. The most troublesome thing about facing it head-on is its endless sea of insects and extremely hard-to-kill vitality. No matter what kind of enemy it is, once you face it head-on, it will end up in a fight of attrition.
Fortunately, Chen Luo had Xue Ning's brain. There were many things in the brain of this female cultivator who had originally worked under the national master. After Chen Luo killed her, her brain was relatively intact and had read many obsessions, including some secrets about the centipede monster.
He took out an insect gourd from the storage bag and collected the black shadow insects flying around into it. Then he took out the white jade centipedes collected by Master Yu Lian. These centipedes were carefully bred by Master Yu Lian. They could be crossbred with the strange centipedes on Chen Luo's body. Maybe he could raise some stronger insects in the future.
After dealing with Master Yu Lian, Chen Luo searched the mountain again.
They discovered that the Shenhu Immortal Gate had completely turned into a haunted place. With the death of Master Yu Lian, a large number of bodies lost control and fell to the ground like rotten meat. The few surviving disciples were scared crazy by this scene.
The fellow apprentice who was still chatting with them a second ago fell to the ground and turned into a pool of rotten meat the next second. There was a big gash on his back, and all the flesh and blood inside had disappeared.
Chen Luo spent three days reorganizing the Immortal Gate from top to bottom.
This time he did not revive the mountain gate, but gave some things to Huang Ying, Ding Xiaoxia and others and asked them to go to Chixia Peak in the sea.
Shenhu Xianmen has been targeted by the ancient country for thousands of years, and there will definitely be other troubles in the future. He can't stay here all the time. Instead of staying here and worrying, it's better to let them leave. Unlike Wuwei Zhenren, he has no obsession with Shenhu Xianmen. However, Chen Luo did not give up this place. He arranged a formation inside the Xianmen, and then used the remaining evil spirit of the white jade centipede to make this place a forbidden place, which can intercept cultivators below the Jindan stage.
It is rare to build a foundation in the Seven Kingdoms area, not to mention forming a pill. There won't be any problems here in the short term.
"Let's go."
The market at the foot of the mountain is still bustling.
Several disciples who were unwilling to leave stayed on the mountain. Chen Luo made several identity tokens for them, which allowed them to enter and exit the formation freely. In addition, he also notified Xianhe Chengfeng and others. These people were obsessed with Shenhu Xianmen. With them, Shenhu Xianmen could still operate, but it would not be as glorious as before.
Unless one day in the future, Master Wuwei returns.
"You're not staying?"
Madam Hong and Zuo Qiulong looked at Chen Luo in awe. They had seen with their own eyes that Chen Luo had killed another cultivator of the same level. The extremely powerful Jindan Zhenren in the outside world were no different from ordinary cultivators in front of him, which further deepened their fear of him.
"Need not."
Chen Luo didn't explain anything. He asked Madam Hong to take Ao Ye and head south.
During this time, Ao Ye had also entered the Dao. The child's aptitude was just as he expected, very good. Although he was not as talented as Mu Xiaoyu, he was also a rare genius. The dragon blood in his body allowed him to practice the Demon Bone Array Pattern Technique at a rapid pace. In just half a month, he reached the second level of Qi Refining.
Several people crossed the checkpoint and arrived at the place where evil practitioners practiced.
The Inn and the giant pit where the swamp disappeared still exist, but it is no longer as desolate as before. Some immortal cultivators have begun to appear here. Chen Luo and a few others stayed here for two days, and then continued their journey westward.
"Senior, are we going back to Qionghua Sect this time?" Xuedao asked.
After following Chen Luo for so long, the three of them had roughly figured out Chen Luo's personality. He was powerful, but his personality was not weird. When he was in a good mood, he would give them some pointers. On weekdays, they would look for opportunities to chat with Chen Luo to get close to him.
Until now, Chen Luo had not mentioned accepting them as his apprentices, and this treatment was not as good as Ao Ye's. Ao Ye had also let go of his enemy, Madam Hong. It was unknown whether it was the influence of the inner demon calamity or the death of the real murderer, the Black Horn King. In short, neither of them mentioned the matter again.
"Not for now."
Chen Luo was preparing to go to Gumo Mountain. He originally planned to go into seclusion in Shenhu Xianmen, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Shenhu Xianmen. With the enemy, a thousand-year-old ancient country, it was not a wise move to go into seclusion in Shenhu Xianmen, so Chen Luo decided to go back to Gumo Mountain.
It is time to put the precious land left to him by Brother Han Jiu to use again.
It took the group of four half a month.
After crossing Black Stone City and going through thousands of mountains and rivers, they finally returned to the territory of Gumo Mountain.
Returning to Gumo Mountain again after many years, Chen Luo couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The layout of the mountain was the same as when he left, without any changes. The evil cultivation site was now controlled by the Qionghua Sect. As a direct disciple of the Taixu Patriarch, the people of Jianchi Peak naturally knew that he was fully qualified to occupy a spiritual vein.
“Master!?”
Chen Luo's return immediately surprised several registered disciples.
Sun Yanyan and Ding Zhao became a Taoist couple. The former disciple from the Shenhu Immortal Sect officially settled down in the evil cultivation area, and they had a child. The Sun family behind Sun Yanyan also became the first family among the vassals of Gumo Mountain through Ding Zhao's relationship.
The remaining three registered disciples also achieved success.
These five people, just as Chen Luo had guessed, did not have the ability to build a foundation. After so many years, they had given up practicing. Ding Zhao, who had the strongest cultivation, grew a beard and looked much older. His cultivation was also the strongest among the five registered disciples.
Three years ago, Ding Zhao tried to buffer the attack and establish his foundation, but failed.
After that, he completely gave up his dream of building a foundation, married Sun Yanyan, and settled down.
When Chen Luo returned to the mountain, the two were taking their child there. There was a little girl with pigtails and a rosy face, who looked very cute.
"Your children?"
Chen Luo looked at the little girl who was holding Sun Yanyan's trouser leg and a smile appeared on his face.
"Master, we..."
When Sun Yanyan saw Chen Luo asking, a trace of panic appeared on her face.
This child was not a disciple of Chen Luo and was not qualified to go up the mountain. The two of them brought the child to the mountain to secretly use the spiritual energy of the mountain to lay a foundation for the child.
Fortunately, Chen Luo didn't care about these little things. The more places he traveled, the bigger the world he saw. Looking back, the second-level spiritual veins on Gumo Mountain were very ordinary, which meant that the lower-level cultivators fought for these resources. On the Taixu Peak of the Qionghua Sect, he and the Taixu Patriarch Gu He had enjoyed the fourth-level veins, and they didn't think it was anything special.
The Heart Demon Technique he practiced did not require that much spiritual veins.
"fine."
Chen Luo walked up to the little girl and touched her head.
Dual spiritual roots of gold and fire.
They are well-qualified, much better than their parents.
"May I have your name."
"My name is Ding Yao, Master, can you please not punish my mother?"
The little girl said timidly that she could feel her father's fear of the person in front of him. So she did not avoid Chen Luo's hand, but mustered up the courage to answer Chen Luo's question.
"Haha. Okay. This child will stay in the mountains to practice from now on."
Chen Luo laughed loudly, and then gave an order to the two of them. Upon hearing this, both Ding Zhao and Sun Yanyan showed surprise on their faces. With Chen Luo's permission, their children could stay in the mountains openly and learn higher-level skills.
Ding Zhao had already found out Chen Luo's identity over the years. After the Qionghua Sect occupied the evil cultivation area, the power in the entire area was reshuffled. The original several sacred peaks changed owners, only Gumo Mountain remained unchanged. Mu Xiaoyu came back once a few years ago, and let them know Chen Luo's current identity.
The true disciple of the Qionghua School, a relative of Patriarch Taixu!
Nascent Soul level inheritance!
With this confidence, they have been running the market openly and honestly over the years, and no robbers dare to come here to cause trouble.
"You guys stay here and help me with some things during this time. I'll arrange the rest after I get out of quarantine."
"yes."
Madam Red, Blood Knife and the other two immediately nodded in agreement.
Only then did Ding Zhao and others notice that there were four people standing behind Chen Luo.
"Foundation Building Overhaul!"
Ding Zhao confirmed the strength of the three people at a glance. Except for the child, the other three were all in the foundation-building stage. He had seen many foundation-building cultivators over the years, but this was the first time he had seen such powerful foundation-building cultivators like the three in front of him.
'Even such a strong man has surrendered to the Master!'
"What is his current level of cultivation? Could it be that he has already reached the late stage of foundation building?"
Ding Zhao and Sun Yanyan's eyes flashed with shock, and they felt that this master was becoming more and more mysterious. Especially Ding Zhao, he felt that the figure in his memory who called him "senior brother" in Shenhu Xianmen was becoming more and more blurred, and the gap between the two was getting bigger and bigger, so big that he could no longer see the other's back, and when he looked at this person again, he was only in awe.
After arranging a few people, Chen Luo turned and entered his own training room.
After so many years, the training room is still spotless. During the years he was away, Ding Zhao would come here every day to clean it and send the resources he got from the demon tribe here. Now there are more than 20 storage bags of materials piled up here, which are all the alchemy materials that Chen Luo asked these disciples to collect.
After all, these few disciples are of some use to us.
Although they had some selfish motives, no one dared to neglect the tasks assigned to them.
Chen Luo sat cross-legged and collected the herbs beside him. He took out four black stones from his storage bag. These stones were the "fruits" harvested from the previous Heart Demon Tribulation.
He picked up the smallest one.
The stone is like a crystal, with rounded edges and emitting a faint blue light.
Wisps of black and gray aura emanated from the stone and merged into Chen Luo's body. Under the influence of the stone, the Heart Demon Art in his body began to operate on its own, and the accumulation began to increase little by little.
"Absorbing this directly should save me decades of hard training."
Chen Luo suppressed his restlessness and put the small stone aside. He then took out a few things from his storage bag, including the remains of the White Jade Centipede Monster and the remains of the Black Horned King. (End of this chapter)
