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...
The formation flickered, and under the leadership of Taixuan Patriarch, a group of twelve people passed through the formation and came to a mountain range filled with dark red aura. The dark red aura floated in the air like dust, and even the spiritual energy here was very chaotic, mixed with demonic and devilish energy, and some unknown energy.
"This is... Ten Thousand Demons Mountain?!"
The master of Taihao Peak asked with a look of shock on his face.
He had been deep into the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain before, so he naturally knew the situation there.
"Yes, it is the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain."
Ancestor Taixuan, who was walking in front, spoke.
"After we killed the Heart Demon Ancestor, we pressed his heart under the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain and used the blood of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede to irrigate it to form a withdrawal formation. We used the power of these two people to nourish the magic sword of our Qionghua Sect. The so-called Sword Washing Pool Spiritual Liquid is the part of the sword energy left after being extracted from these two people."
The Qionghua Sect treats the Heart Demon Ancestor's heart and the Thousand-Eyed Centipede as reusable spiritual fields, extracting them once every thousand years.
Whenever they recovered to a certain level, the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua would come over to bleed them and use their blood to nourish the magic sword, which was considered as utilizing the characteristics of the cultivators from the upper realm to the limit.
After the sword was washed, the residual energy of the demon blood and the spirit sword qi remained in the pool water. After a long period of changes, it finally gathered into a power close to the seven spirit swords. The seven sword qi mixed with the demon blood, as long as it could be absorbed and integrated, it would be possible to obtain the innate sword body.
Only the Seventh Ancestor of Qionghua could have kept the Heart Demon Ancestor's heart and the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Monster as fat pigs. If any of these two beings, whether it was the Heart Demon Ancestor's heart or the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Monster, escaped, it would be a catastrophe.
Risk and reward are directly proportional.
It is precisely because of such a huge risk that the Qionghua Sect has become so powerful and the seven magic swords have been able to maintain their spirituality in a place like the Tiannan Region.
“It’s really a big deal.”
Fairy Lingchi's eyes flickered, and she smiled and praised.
"Let's go."
Taixuan Patriarch looked calm, as if he had long been accustomed to similar words. Everyone who knew the truth about the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain would show a similar expression. This time, the cooperation with Lingchi was also the conclusion reached by the seven of them after a debate. Although there would be some risks, the things Lingchi offered were very tempting, enough for them to take this risk.
The three Lingchi disciples were all shocked and turned their heads to look at the red mist outside from time to time.
They sensed a strong threat from the mist, as if some peerless demon was sleeping there.
The group stepped on the gravel in the valley. The stones were dark red, as if they were soaked in blood. They made subtle sounds when they stepped on them. Chen Luo was also observing the surroundings. He was not unfamiliar with the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. Xue Ning escaped from this place. Although he could not remember many things, his instincts could still tell a lot of things.
'The body of the Thousand-Eyed Master.'
When Chen Luo looked at the towering mountains on the left, Xue Ning's brain suddenly gave a response.
Mountain?
Body?
'My heart.'
The Heart Demon Ancestor's brain also became active. This brain snatched from the alchemy furnace further refreshed Chen Luo's cognition. He originally thought that the Heart Demon Ancestor was a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level as the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua. Even if he was stronger, he was still at the same level. Now it seems that the Heart Demon Ancestor may have suffered a serious injury when he came to Tiannan Region. The hand found in Fox Mountain is enough to prove this speculation. An incomplete Heart Demon Ancestor requires the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua to work together to suppress it.
“This is a real surprise.”
Sensing the feedback from the external brain in his mind, Chen Luo said thoughtfully.
"Brother Chen, have you found anything?" Xuan Tianchong suddenly came over and asked.
"No."
Chen Luo glanced at the man, and Xuan Tianchong gave him an increasingly strange feeling.
"I thought you knew."
Xuan Tianchong's eyes flashed with a trace of regret, and also seemed to be relieved. This look made Chen Luo feel something was wrong. He looked at the Taixuan Peak Master who was leading the team in front, and the Lingchi Fairy next to him. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"What's the meaning?"
"Nothing, just casual chatting." Xuan Tianchong showed his previous smile on his face again and changed the subject abruptly.
"Brother Chen, who do you think among the seven ancestors of our Qionghua Sect can break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm? Is the power of the 108 peaks enough for seven people?"
Chen Luo didn't say anything, but he vaguely sensed something was wrong.
"My grandfather, the Taixuan Peak Master, is the leader of the Qionghua Seven Swords and has practiced for 2,700 years. Brother Chen, do you think it is possible for him to break through to the God Transformation Realm?"
boom!!
A loud bang like thunder came from the front, interrupting the words Chen Luo was about to ask.
All the people who were walking stopped, and Patriarch Taixuan and Fairy Lingchi in front looked forward together.
I only saw a circle of dark red sandstorm rising from the front, forming a huge round mushroom cloud, spreading in all directions. Dense dark red gravel mixed in the storm, with an astonishing momentum.
"The centipede is struggling again. You wait here for a moment. The fairy and I will go over to take a look. If you find something wrong, retreat back to the door first."
The face of the Taixuan Peak Master darkened. Without waiting for the remaining people to speak, his figure flashed and disappeared directly from the spot. The Fairy Lingchi beside him also flew out with him.
After the two Yuanyings left, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became weird.
"It is not advisable to stay here for long. The Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain is the territory of the Thousand Eyes Patriarch."
'My heart is beating.'
Xue Ning's brain began to frantically warn, as if she had seen this kind of red sandstorm in her memory. The feedback from the Heart Demon Ancestor's brain was even more bizarre. He felt that his heart was alive, as if it had entered someone's body and began to beat in an incredible way.
This is not good news.
"I'll go take a look too."
Xuan Tianchong, who was standing next to Chen Luo, suddenly spoke, and then he disappeared in a strange way without any movement. His speed was almost the same as that of the Nascent Soul cultivator before. A cultivator in the late stage of foundation building was even faster than that of Jindan. He was indeed the grandson of Taixuan Patriarch, and he must have a lot of good things on him.
The dark red storm continued to spread, and some fine dust had been rolled over here. The air was filled with a large amount of dark red rotten smell. The sound of sand hitting the ground fell into the ears, and there seemed to be faint sounds of insects mixed in.
There are soul-eating insects in Wan Yao Mountain.
Chen Luo had seen this before, and when he looked up again, a vague suspicion emerged in his mind. Is this dark red dust really sand?
Chen Luo turned around and walked towards the mountain on the left without looking back.
Staying where you are will definitely lead to danger.
He trusts his own brain's judgment more than outsiders.
After Chen Luo left, three more people chose to leave the team. These people were all Jindan cultivators with firm Dao hearts. Everyone had their own judgment. But more people chose to stay where they were. These people had never been to Wan Yao Mountain. For them, Wan Yao Mountain was full of dangers.
It is dangerous to stay where you are, but it is even more dangerous to rush around.
After weighing the pros and cons, it is better to stay where we are, so that when Ancestor Taixuan and Fairy Lingchi come back, we can find them as soon as possible.
Boom! !
The sand and gravel on the ground rippled, and a huge earth dragon rose from the ground, turning into a long snake more than ten meters long, surrounding everyone and forming a huge defense circle. These people were very strong, so they naturally couldn't just sit there and wait to die.
"I'll do my part, too."
Ling Chi's first disciple also stretched out her hand and pressed her palm on the ground. Everyone could hear the sound of flowing water, and a circle of light blue water curtain rose from the ground, forming a protective circle inside the earth dragon, protecting everyone inside. Most of the dark red sand was blocked by the earth dragon, and the occasional infiltration was also blocked by the water curtain.
Chen Luo looked back, then turned around and walked away.
It's just sand now, and it's hard to say what's flying over from behind.
"Brother Chen, are you sure you want to leave? This is the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain."
The true disciple of Taihao Peak looked at Chen Luo's departing back and gave him a reminder.
He had been to Wan Yao Mountain several times and knew the dangers here better than anyone else.
Although the Qionghua Seventh Ancestor suppressed the Thousand Eyes Centipede, the centipede spirit was no ordinary demon. It used its demon blood and Thousand Eyes magical power to separate the inside and outside of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, forming an area that was completely incompatible with the outside world, and the spiritual energy here was filled with demonic power.
Under the nourishment of this abnormal spiritual power, countless powerful demons have bred on the Wan Yao Mountain. It was after this incident that Yi Mu Zhenren, the Tai Su Peak of Qionghua, died in order to open up the Wan Yao Mountain. It was also because of this incident that everyone knew the danger of the Wan Yao Mountain.
Over the years, the pressure on Wan Yao Mountain has been increasing, and the people guarding this place have gradually changed from Jindan elders to Yuanying ancestors. In the past few hundred years, Taixuan Patriarch has almost always lived in Wan Yao Mountain, and starting from a few years ago, Taiqing Patriarch also joined in.
Only two of the Seven Qionghua Ancestors can suppress this place together. Even if they leave, they can only leave for a short time and then return quickly, otherwise the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain will get out of control.
There are ghost temples and ancient countries outside who want to enter here, and the seven ancestors of Qionghua inside also have their own calculations. The 108 Peaks Divine Path is the opportunity to suppress all contradictions.
Once the opportunity is destroyed.
The consequences will be disastrous.
Chen Luo ignored the true teachings of Taihao Peak and walked alone into the demonic fog next to him. Dark red particles floated in the air and demonic energy filled the air. All the spiritual power in his body was suppressed here. It would be more difficult for immortal cultivators to release their magical powers here. On the contrary, demon cultivators would be like fish in water here.
boom!!
In the area where the aura was rising in the distance, two terrifying waves suddenly came out. The three forces collided together and formed a thunder.
Two of them were exactly the Taixuan Patriarch and the Fairy Lingchi. The remaining one had a demonic aura, most likely the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon mentioned by Taixuan Patriarch. (End of this chapter)
