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...
'Spring and Autumn Gu, time flows backwards, stealing reincarnation.'
In the external brain, the Immortal Emperor Changqing suddenly became active and reminded Chen Luo.
Time goes backwards?
Stealing reincarnation?
Chen Luo's eyelids twitched wildly. He knew that the Spring and Autumn Gu was very powerful, and none of the top three strange insects on the strange insect list were simple. But when he really knew the ability of the Spring and Autumn Gu, Chen Luo couldn't help but feel a little turbulent in his heart.
No wonder he was in reincarnation when he first entered the evil cultivation area and met Ning Chenye.
It turned out that this poisonous insect had never left him from beginning to end.
Brother Han Jiu’s death was not unjust.
Ning Chenye's body was enveloped by a layer of strange power, and the magical power of 'possessing the body' that had originally locked onto him lost its effect. He left the 'present', and the talisman and the Yin thunder ball exploded. The orange-red flames intertwined with the pure white lightning, completely covering the area.
At the center of the explosion, Ning Chenye's body disappeared like a curtain of water.
His body strangely appeared in the air, his right arm stretched out, and three-colored aura appeared in his palm. This force strangely penetrated the formation and imprinted on Chen Luo's body.
boom!!
The two air currents collided.
Two strange insects also appeared on Chen Luo's body.
The Borrowing Life Gu and the Soul-Sending Gu, the Borrowing Life Gu began to "borrow" Ning Chenye's lifespan as soon as it appeared, and this "borrowing life" affected the "countercurrent" of the Spring and Autumn Gu. The Soul-Sending Gu was even more bizarre. This insect made a similar insect sound as soon as it appeared. After Ning Chenye attacked, his body strangely stopped. He raised his other hand, retracted three fingers, and stabbed the remaining two fiercely into his eyes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a hint of ruthlessness appeared on Chen Luo's face.
A dark light flashed, and a chessboard appeared in the palm of his hand. The demonic patterns on his body flickered, and his strength exploded to the limit.
"die!!"
A black light flashed, drawing a crescent-shaped arc in the air, and the whistling wind sounded like teleportation, hitting Ning Chenye's head hard.
He just doesn't believe that there is anyone in this world who can't be killed.
If so, it means the force is not enough!
Ning Chenye didn't expect that Chen Luo had such a method. He finally stopped the movement of his right hand, and when he turned around, he saw the black chessboard coming towards him.
"Go to the inn."
Ning Chenye roared, and the shadow of the poisonous insect on his body reappeared. Not only that, his aura also completely exploded, and a strong demonic aura mixed with an unknown black aura appeared around him. In the canyon that was beaten to a mess by the two men, an inn strangely emerged.
The inn is still shrouded in fog, half real and half unreal.
Inn!
Chen Luo had seen this place many times, and each time he saw it, he had a different feeling. The old fox who assisted Chen Luo instantly felt a sense of fear.
It is afraid of the inn.
As soon as the inn appeared, Chen Luo felt the pressure, as if there was a mountain pressing on his head. Not only him, but also Ning Chenye on the opposite side. If he had a choice, he would never borrow the power of the inn. His wife who had finally fallen asleep was in the inn. If she woke up, all his plans during this period would be in vain.
The chessboard finally fell down, and the hard corner of the chessboard hit Ning Chenye's forehead hard.
A muffled sound.
The aura exploded, and the magic swords and formation flags were all swept away. Even the hardness of the fourth-level magic weapon was damaged at this moment. The crack in the middle of the chessboard that was cut by Taixu Patriarch Gu He spread a little upwards.
The aftermath brought about a massive storm, forming a circular shock wave that spread out in all directions. Trees that were close by were uprooted, and all the gravel and soil were blown away.
After a long time, this force slowly subsided.
Ning Chenye stood in the middle of the ruins, gasping for breath. The right side of his head was sunken, and blood was pouring out from that spot. The shadow of the Spring and Autumn Gu had become much fainter. Although it was still chirping, the sound was much quieter.
Chen Luo's face also turned a little pale.
Ning Chenye was more difficult than expected. Chen Luo could clearly feel that Ning Chenye was beyond his current ability to deal with. Unless he could condense his infant, it was absolutely impossible to kill this man. He did not dare to use up all the backup plans he had prepared. Ning Chenye's "wife" was still hiding in the dark, so he had to save some strength to deal with him.
After fighting for so long, neither of them wanted to fight anymore.
If the situation could be solved easily, both of them would definitely not hold back, but now they have seen the strength of the other party. If the situation cannot be solved quickly, it is obviously irrational to continue fighting.
The Tiannan region is becoming increasingly chaotic. If we continue to fight, who knows who will take advantage of us.
Silence.
Ning Chenye suddenly restrained his own aura, and the aura of the Nascent Soul flashed, and the injuries on the surface of his body recovered visibly. His face showed the smile he had when he first met Chen Luo.
"Brother Chen is getting stronger and stronger. Are you interested in joining forces with me to kill my wife?"
"Brother Ning, you are joking. I came here mainly to keep in touch with Brother Ning. Brothers like you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's inevitable that we are a little unfamiliar."
"It is a great blessing in life to meet a close friend like Brother Chen."
The atmosphere was tense the previous second, but became harmonious the next second. The two of them just stood in the ruins and chatted. The half-real inn did not come again after the two stopped fighting.
"Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Ning Chenye gestured towards the inn.
"No, no, I'm just passing by."
Chen Luo didn't want to go in. It was enough to go to this damn place, the inn, once. If he went in again, who knew if he would be able to get out.
"Brother Ning's Spring and Autumn Gu can really reverse time?"
Equal strength is the prerequisite for equal dialogue.
"Are you still Brother Chen? What happened to the previous possession?"
Ning Chenye was also testing Chen Luo, and both wanted to know the other's secrets. However, neither of them believed the other, and after chatting for a long time, they didn't find out anything.
Chen Luo couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Brother Ning is still too petty and not magnanimous at all.
Ning Chenye on the opposite side had the same expression, and looked at Chen Luo with disdain in his eyes.
"Brother Ning, is there anything you want to discuss about the transformation of the spirit?"
After giving up the temptation, the two exchanged their cultivation experiences. The problems Ning Chenye encountered now would be encountered by Chen Luo in the future, so exchanging ideas in advance could help him avoid many detours. The same was true for Ning Chenye, as Chen Luo had the brain of a demon beast from the upper realm and had many inspirations from "experienced people" who could help him.
The two found a relatively clean place and started chatting.
Half a day later.
Both of them gained something.
"I didn't expect that Brother Chen has such a deep understanding of the monsters from the upper realm. If I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have come to this point." Ning Chenye sighed.
This time when communicating with Chen Luo, he learned a lot of inheritances that he had never come into contact with before. It was a pity that he had taken the wrong path. Even if he wanted to turn back now, he had to get his "wife's" consent.
"I just mentioned it casually. A lot of the content is from ancient books. In comparison, Brother Ning, you are the real half-step god."
Chen Luo also gained a lot. Ning Chenye did not mention the details of the Yin-Yang clone, but he said a lot about the part about the fusion of the monster's limbs, which gave Chen Luo a lot of insights. The corresponding more than 500 brains had new data access, and more things could be deduced later.
"It's just that I have never encountered a tree demon in the Tiannan Region. I can't learn from many of Brother Ning's experiences."
"Tree demon? Brother Chen, do you think I devoured a tree demon?"
Ning Chenye suddenly laughed. This was not a core secret to him, so he just told it out loud, maybe it would arouse Chen Luo's interest.
He had already recognized Chen Luo's strength from the previous fight.
"It's not a tree demon? Could it be..."
Chen Luo's mind moved, and he subconsciously looked towards the inn in the distance, and an incredible thought arose in his mind.
"That's right."
A smile appeared on Ning Chenye's face.
"I ate the stairs of the inn."
After hearing this, Chen Luo finally understood why Ning Chenye was trapped in the inn. Unlike other guests, Ning Chenye himself was part of the inn. As the "main body" of the inn, it was impossible for it to give up its own stairs.
"I found this inn in the upper realm. Its consciousness had long been dead. When I picked it up, it was just a dead object. I nurtured it and re-condensed its spirituality. Now the innkeeper is my 'wife'. If I succeed in becoming a spirit, this inn will become my body."
Like Ning Chenye, his wife also has her own path.
These two consciousnesses originally belonged to one person, but were split into two due to the method of transformation. Now they are incompatible and both want to devour each other.
"If Brother Chen can help me kill my 'wife', I am willing to split off the third floor of the inn and give it to you."
Ning Chenye said sincerely.
He had said so much to Chen Luo just to invite Chen Luo to help. He had seen Chen Luo's strength in the previous fight, and although the two did not continue to fight, he could feel that Chen Luo still had some strength left.
"Maybe next time."
Chen Luo stood up and prepared to leave.
The purpose of this trip was half accomplished. Although Ning Chenye was not killed, the spy of the Shadow Eater Sect was killed by him. Even if the Shadow Eater Sect's great elder succeeds in going down to the mortal world, it will take a lot of time to find him.
For Chen Luo now, the most important thing is time.
Whether it is the problem on the side of the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua or on his own side, it will take time to resolve.
"If you change your mind, you can always come to me. Special beings like the Inn are very rare even in the upper realm. And the treasure you have, can you let me take a look?"
"There really is no treasure. Brother Ning, you must have sensed it wrongly."
"I see, it was all a misunderstanding."
A trace of pity flashed across Ning Chenye's eyes.
This guy is too cautious and doesn't take any risks.
After bidding farewell to Ning Chenye, Chen Luo flew out of the canyon and headed towards the direction of the Qionghua Sect. Ning Chenye's threat had come to an end. With the experience of this fight, Ning Chenye would not trouble him again before his cultivation level broke through.
Waiting for Ning Chenye's cultivation to break through
By that time, he might have already condensed his infant form and entered the Nascent Soul stage.
Chen Luo felt that the fate between Chunqiu Gu and him could be continued. (End of this chapter)
