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...
Gu He did not stop him, as he was also running out of energy.
The Wuwei Master who had just fought with him was very difficult to deal with. His method of controlling the inner demon reminded him of the former inner demon ancestor. Fortunately, the opponent had no intention of killing him. He symbolically exchanged two moves with him and then left.
This time the chaos came too suddenly, disrupting many of the seven people's arrangements. The biggest impact was the escape of the Thousand Eyed Centipede, followed by the capture of the core array of the 108 Peaks Plan. This array core was the star point that was taken away by the ancient country's national master, but this was within their expectations.
That thing was a treasure brought down from the upper world by the Heart Demon Ancestor. After the seven of them killed the Heart Demon Ancestor, they kept it and arranged the 108 Peaks Plan, with the seven of them sharing the opportunity. It was because of this thing that the 108 Peaks Plan was able to be implemented. But no one expected that there was a huge trouble hidden in this thing.
Half a day later.
All the enemies retreated, and no one knew when Master Wuwei left. He took away the heart of the Heart Demon Ancestor and broke away from the control of the ancient country's national master.
Chen Luo didn't have time to ask about the details and could only wait for contact again later.
This incident was a heavy loss for the Qionghua Sect. Without the Thousand-Eyed Centipede and the Heart Demon Ancestor's heart, there was no need to suppress the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. The Sword Washing Pool would also become a decoration. For the Qionghua Sect, this was the biggest loss, because the spirituality of the Qionghua Seven Swords needed the blood of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede and the Heart Demon Ancestor to maintain.
On Taixuan Peak.
The seven ancestors of Qionghua gathered together again.
"The Star Gathering Jade is lost."
"Good job. I hope the centipede monster from the ancient country can hold on for a while longer."
Chen Luo stood behind the Taixu Patriarch Gu He and found that the positions of the true disciples behind the other six ancestors were temporarily vacant. There were only eight people in the entire hall, and he was the only Jindan disciple. Listening to the discussion of these seven people, Chen Luo gradually noticed a clue.
They must have already planned the changes in Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain.
Is there something wrong with this Star Gathering Jade?
It’s a pity that the old demon’s brain was severely damaged. There was no useful obsession in the remaining 1%, and there were even fewer memory fragments, so he couldn’t find the answer he wanted.
"Six of the seven true disciples died this time, why are you okay?"
The master of Taixuan Peak suddenly turned around and asked Chen Luo who was behind Taixu Ancient River.
Although it was expected, the leak of the One Hundred and Eight Peaks Project was highly suspicious.
Chen Luo, the last disciple to join the sect, was the most suspicious. In the midst of so many Nascent Souls fighting, he managed to survive unscathed. The rest of the disciples all died in violent incidents. From this perspective, Chen Luo was the most suspicious.
"You hope that something happens to my nephew?"
Gu He, the master of Taixu Peak, suddenly drew out the Taixu Sword and placed the magic sword in front of him.
This scene made the other people keep all their doubts in their hearts.
Gu He’s attitude was very simple: My nephew has no problem. If anyone of you talks nonsense again, I will chop him down!
“My grandchildren are all dead.”
The master of Taixuan Peak said this in a deep voice.
"How can your grandson be compared with my nephew?! My nephew seriously injured Jin Guang with his own strength, and he survived by his own ability." There was a hint of pride on Gu He's face, and the boasting in his words was almost written on his face.
"He's just a piece of trash from Jin Guang Cave. If he wasn't still useful, I would have killed him long ago!"
"Can you hurt your Nascent Soul when you're forming your Dan?"
Furukawa retorted with a look of disdain.
The Taixuan Peak Master was silent for a moment. A Jindan cultivator fighting a Yuanying cultivator? How is that possible! Even for a loser like Jin Guang, he was only speaking from the perspective of the seven of them. To a Jindan cultivator, Jin Guang was a genuine Yuanying cultivator.
"This matter really has nothing to do with Junior Brother Chen. I have a clue here that you can refer to."
The Taisu Peak Master next to him rarely spoke a word for Gu He, and then she reached out and took out a human skin from the storage bag. The moment he saw the human skin, the face of the Taixuan Peak Master suddenly darkened. The human skin belonged to his grandson Xuan Tianchong.
Judging from the texture of the human skin, this skin must have been refined using special techniques, otherwise it would not have been able to deceive his perception.
"Do you still remember the previous owner of Jinguang Cave, the Painted Skin Demon?"
The Taisu Peak Master threw the human skin in front of him. He had previously fought with Xuan Tianchong and killed him. But in the end, he only got a piece of skin, and all the internal organs inside were empty, with only blood stains.
"Isn't that old ghost dead?"
"If you want to survive, there must be some means, and the Ghost Temple is one way."
Taiyuan and Tailing spoke up and said that they both had some impression of the previous owner of Jinguan Cave.
"At least a hundred years. This Painted Skin Master must have some tricks up his sleeve to have deceived us for such a long time."
The Taihao Peak Master picked up the human skin and observed it, confirming the marks on it. This piece of human skin had been refined for a very long time, and the Taihao Peak Master was proficient in the art of refining weapons, and could tell the age of the techniques on it.
"Even the Painted Skin Ghost can't fool me. There is only one way to fool me, that is, the person wearing this skin is Chong'er."
There was a flash of murderous intent in the eyes of the Taixuan Peak Master, but he finally suppressed it.
Right now the Qionghua Sect has suffered a severe blow, and the first problem the seven of them have to solve is the 'Sword Washing Pool', which concerns the foundation of the Qionghua Sect. In comparison, personal grudges have to be put aside for the time being.
"How do we solve the problem of the sword-washing pond?"
"Since it was the Lingchi who started the trouble, let's go after them. Doesn't their sect have a Lingchi? It can be used to replace the Sword Washing Pool." The Taiqing Peak Master spoke up. He had chased after the ancient country's national master before and slashed him with a sword, but ultimately failed to stop him.
"Great kindness."
Taixuan and the other six nodded at the same time, and in a few words decided to "borrow" the treasure of the Lingchi sect to replace the Xijianchi. The whole process was like seven bandits meeting in the Juyi Hall, discussing their targets.
Chen Luo did not listen to the subsequent discussion. Gu He assigned Chen Luo a task and asked him to go back and have a good rest.
I will come back to refine my sword body when the sword-washing pool is ready next time.
Half a day later.
The Seven Ancestors of Qionghua left the sect quietly without notifying anyone. Without the constraints of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, the seven people were suddenly free.
Chen Luo naturally knew what they were going to do. Ling Chi was most likely going to be in trouble this time. Although Fairy Ling Chi was a fourth-level formation master, she was unable to deal with seven top-level sword cultivators, not to mention that among the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua, the Master of Taiyuan Peak was also a formation master. Although he was not at the fourth level, it was nothing but a foolish dream to rely solely on formations to deal with the seven of them.
Each of the seven ancestors of Qionghua Sect is proficient in his own thing. When these seven people come together, Qionghua Sect is the undisputed number one sect in Tiannan Region.
Inside the secret room.
Chen Luo digested the accumulation of this period of time, and the golden elixir jade liquid in his body increased again, but it was still a long way from the late stage of the golden elixir. Every step of the cultivation in the Jindan stage is a painstaking effort. Even the current Qionghua Seven Ancestors have gone through a long time to reach this point. Chen Luo has only been practicing for seventy years, and his life span has not even broken a hundred years. Normal cultivators at this age are still planning to build a foundation. Only a few geniuses have entered the foundation building level, but they are only at the level of the early stage of the foundation building. The middle stage is rare. Xuan Tianchong was rampant in the Qionghua Sect before, relying on his qualifications to reach the late stage of the foundation building after a hundred years of cultivation.
There has never been anyone like Chen Luo who has reached the middle stage of Jindan in less than a hundred years in the entire Tiannan Region.
"According to this speed of practice, it will take two hundred years to break through to the late stage of Jindan, and another two hundred years to reach the perfect state."
Chen Luo made a simple calculation based on the growth rate of the spiritual fluid in his body. The cultivation method he was practicing now was different from that of the cultivators in the entire Tiannan Region. After absorbing the methods of the Inn of This Life, there was no doubt about the Nascent Soul for Chen Luo. What he lacked was time accumulation.
"Using the technique modified by Brother Mummy, you can condense an infant in 400 years."
Chen Luo pondered for a moment, then reached out and picked up the black stone that Wuwei Zhenren had given him. The only reward from this trip to the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain was meeting his master, Wuwei Zhenren. Although he didn't know what he was doing, judging from the current situation, Wuwei Zhenren should have his own plans.
'The stones are different.'
Looking at the stone in his hand, the Heart Demon Ancestor's brain once again fed back a piece of information.
"I still have to go see my master." After putting the stone away, Chen Luo stood up and walked out of the secret room.
Outside, the disciples of Qionghua Sect were practicing as usual, some were doing missions, and some were practicing in the caves on the mountain. Blood Knife and Madam Hong, who Chen Luo brought up the mountain, were also integrated into the Qionghua Sect, and Ao Ye and Mu Xiaoyu were also busy with the sect's missions.
This is the structure of a mature sect.
Everyone lives under this structure. They serve the sect, and the sect provides them with security and resources. Only the Seven Qionghua Ancestors who stand at the top are not bound by this rule. Originally, Chen Luo was also supposed to do the sect's mission, but Taixu Ancestor Gu He took over his part, allowing him to enjoy the treatment of the sect's ancestors in advance without paying any price.
"Brother."
"Meet the True Master Brother."
As they walked along, everyone who saw Chen Luo bowed their heads and greeted him. There was shock, curiosity, and suspicion in their eyes.
The incident at the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain caused a great stir among the middle and lower levels of the Qionghua Sect. The death of the six great disciples was a shocking event among the inner and outer disciples. Chen Luo, the only surviving disciple, became a celebrity among these disciples. With Gu He's deliberate publicity, everyone knew about his feat of injuring the master of the Golden Light Cave.
The true teachings of Jindan that can fight against Yuanying cultivators!
With this kind of strength and record, he will definitely be the next sword holder. For the disciples of Qionghua Sect, holding the divine sword is the highest honor and the ladder to the Nascent Soul stage.
Chen Luo ignored these people.
Thinking about the information he read from the small stone, he leaped and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. (End of this chapter)
