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...
There are very few exercises on the third level.
Chen Luo finished reading the book in just one hour. When he went downstairs, the skinny elder was still sleeping in the corner and didn't say a word to him the whole time.
Chen Luo was too lazy to pay attention to this person. This was the style of the Shadow Eater Sect.
After returning to the training room, Chen Luo closed the door and set up a formation to block the aura in the room. Only then did he begin to digest the skills he had seen in the library.
The "method" that Chen Luo is most concerned about is mentioned in three books of exercises in the library.
One was written by Lu Ying before his death, and the other two were written by the sect master. From these news, Chen Luo discovered that not all Nascent Soul cultivators can comprehend the "Law". The weak will not become stronger just because of a change of environment. On the contrary, the strong will become strong no matter where they are.
The Nascent Soul that comprehends the 'Dharma' is a powerful being in the upper realm.
'Everything has a shadow. Those who eat shadows will be immortal.'
Recalling what he had read in the book, Chen Luo had a clearer understanding of the "method" of the Shadow Eater Sect.
'Dharma' is a kind of power.
A force that fits the heaven and earth, a kind of momentum.
The comprehension of the 'law' is not something that comes out of nothing, but a transformation of accumulation. From the moment the Shadow Eater Sect monks entered the Dao, the cultivation method they practiced was related to the 'shadow'. After accumulating the three realms of foundation building, elixir formation, and infant formation, it became a reality in the Nascent Soul Realm. The mysterious power that Chen Luo had sensed before was the prerequisite for comprehending the 'law'.
Practicing the Shadow-Eating Sect's skills can increase the chance of comprehending the 'Shadow Method'.
But this is not absolute. Whether you can comprehend successfully still depends on your talent.
"The 'shadow method' of the Shadow Eater Sect is related to the techniques they practice. The specific 'method' depends on the individual."
Chen Luo thought of Elder Lu Ying's "Shadow Rain" and the ape monster's "Demonization". These "Spells" were sealed in their bodies and could be mobilized when they were fighting for their lives. It was a higher level of power.
If he had not used the formation, the best outcome for Chen Luo facing those two men would have been to escape, and killing them would be absolutely impossible.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Luo made up his mind to come to the upper realm to find his own "law".
"What is my 'Dharma'?"
Among the external brains, several brains that had experience with the "law" all revived the moment he received the inheritance. Eight of the ten Nascent Soul Realm brains had their own "laws", and Chen Luo could use their "laws", but these were not his own "laws".
Chen Luo recalled the skills he had practiced.
He has changed his practice once since then. Before practicing the Heart Demon Technique, he practiced the skills he obtained from the tomb.
The source of the technique comes from his first master, Chang Qing Zhenren.
Later, after meeting his second master, Wuwei Zhenren, he switched to practicing the Heart Demon Art, and since then, the Heart Demon Art has become his main practice. With the help of the Immortal Emperor's brain, he has adjusted the Heart Demon Art many times, and he once discussed Taoism with his master, Wuwei Zhenren, on the eve of forming a pill.
At that time, the Heart Demon Art he practiced was completely different from the Heart Demon Art of the Heart Demon Ancestor. Later, he also incorporated the "Sorrow Art" of the actors, the "Void Meridian" he saw in the inn, and the "Deer Demon Body Cultivation Method" he encountered in the Dragon Tomb.
With the superposition of so many skills, his Heart Demon Art has long been completely changed, and the path it points to is even further.
Unlike the "laws" in the external brain, he does not have any shortcomings in his Nascent Soul stage.
It's like a 'fairy aggregation'.
This foundation is enough for Chen Luo to deal with any trouble in any situation.
“So, my Dharma is”
As he sorted out his thoughts and received feedback from his external brain, Chen Luo gradually became more aware of the idea in his mind, and a ball of spiritual fire emerged in his sea of consciousness.
Two days passed.
Soon it was the third day, which was the day of the 'Wanxian Island Dharma Assembly' mentioned by the second elder.
The heavy stone door opened from the inside.
Chen Luo, dressed in a black robe, walked out. The aura of "Shadow Magic" on him became stronger and stronger, but judging from the aura, the strength of the shadow under his feet had reached the level of Lu Ying when he was alive. The familiar feeling of oppression made the disciples who were observing nearby instinctively lower their heads.
"You finally decided to come out. I thought you had forgotten what the Sect Master had told you to do."
The second elder stood in the distance and said with a grim look in his eyes.
There were two people standing next to him. Chen Luo had never seen either of them before, but judging from their aura, they should be the core elders of the Shadow Eater Sect.
Chen Luo took a step forward and his figure appeared in mid-air.
The shadow under his feet suddenly split open, and the dark color gathered into a big mouth, which bit the shadow of the second elder fiercely.
The second elder standing in the middle had a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. The shadow under him also split open, turning into a spear, and stabbed towards Chen Luo's shadow. But he was fast, and Chen Luo was even faster. As soon as he made a move, he felt his eyes darken, and the next second a furry hand pinched his face, without waiting for him to react.
The monkey-haired arm slammed his head down hard.
boom!!
The ground exploded, and the captured figure of the Second Elder suddenly burst apart, turning into a sky full of black shadows that gathered on the other side.
He looked at Chen Luo with surprise and doubt, not understanding what kind of power he used in his second attack.
“Don’t forget who you are.”
Chen Luo, who had used the Deer Shadow and Ape Demon spells in succession, took advantage of the situation to withdraw his palms, and his aura returned to his feet. The second elder on the opposite side had an uncertain expression, and after weighing the pros and cons for a moment, he gave up the middle position.
The remaining two people watched the whole process.
Similar things have happened countless times in the Shadow-Eating Sect, and everyone in the sect knows that the First Elder and the Second Elder do not get along.
"Let's go."
In a flash of light, Chen Luo was the first to land on the Peng bird in front.
This is a monster tamed by the Shadow-Eating Sect, a third-level Peng bird, and its speed is faster than many flying boats.
The endless plain with the isolated white jade mountain above it.
From afar, one could see countless streams of light flying from afar and falling into the mountain. These people were all cultivators from other areas, and the weakest among them were at the foundation-building stage.
In the upper realm, the Qi Refining Realm was not considered a cultivator, and even the realm where they could not release their magical powers was not considered a peer, and many people did not consider them fellow cultivators, and did not allow them to enter the market. Only those who started at the Foundation Building Realm were considered formal cultivators and were eligible to enter the market.
The huge roc bird cut through the sky and flew into Baishishan Mountain with great dominance.
All cultivators who see the Peng Bird mark will subconsciously avoid it. The mark of the Shadow-Eating Sect on it is enough to scare these casual cultivators.
The strong wind dispersed, and the Peng bird flapped its wings and landed.
Chen Luo and his group of four landed from the back of the Peng bird, and someone soon came to greet them on the mountain.
"Welcome all fellow Taoists from the Shadow Eater Sect."
This person is the person in charge of the Dharma Assembly and is also from Wanxian Island.
They chose this location to hold the Dharma Assembly after careful consideration.
Chen Luo responded coldly, with dark shadows surging on his body, and his aura was exactly the same as that of Elder Lu Ying.
The guide seemed to have long been accustomed to the tempers of these guests, and led them into the mountain with a smile on his face.
Baiyu Mountain is divided into two parts, inner and outer.
The same is true for the Wanxian Island Dharma Assembly. The Dharma Assembly outside is to deal with the casual cultivators. The real Dharma Assembly is inside, and only the sect cultivators can enter. As a god-transforming force, the Shadow-Eating Sect is naturally also within the scope of the sect's power.
After passing through the front mountain, the scene behind suddenly changed.
The sandstorm in the sky disappeared, replaced by a warm and gentle breeze. There was the fragrance of flowers all around. Some busy Qi Refining Realm slaves were carrying fine wine and spiritual fruits. When they saw them, they subconsciously made way.
"Formation?"
Chen Luo paused as he sensed the fluctuations of the formation.
However, he had never come across this formation before, and could only roughly determine that the formation was at the fourth level. He had no way of understanding the other parts. If he wanted to crack it, he would need a lot of time to analyze the formation patterns.
Every formation master has his own unique skills, and Chen Luo is best at calling upon the energy of the earth veins.
After passing the Flower Fragrance Courtyard, there is a quiet courtyard behind. The environment here is elegant and the spiritual energy is abundant. At first glance, there is a spirit gathering array in operation. The golden array pattern is hidden under the floor tiles, forming a perfect circular array. Chen Luo secretly observed the opponent's array formation method and used his external brain to record these array patterns that he had never seen before.
"This is the courtyard of the Shadow Eater Sect. You can rest here."
After leading the people to the place, the leading man briefly introduced a few words and left in a hurry. As the host, Wanxian Island must be extremely busy these days. It is considered important to arrange someone to come and receive them. If it is an outside casual cultivator, no one below the Nascent Soul Realm will ask about it.
"I'm going to go out for a walk."
The second elder left after saying a few words.
The remaining two people also left one after another. Chen Luo naturally couldn't stay here to guard the yard. After the three people left, he also left the yard with them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he planned to make good use of Elder Luying's vest.
"I don't know if Wanxian Island can give credit."
Passing through the courtyard he had passed before, Chen Luo arrived at the front mountain of Baiyu Mountain.
This is where independent cultivators gather. With such a rare opportunity, many people set up stalls here. All these stall owners need to pay fees to Baiyu Mountain. As the host, Wanxian Island will protect their safety, which is also an important source of income for Wanxian Island.
There are many monks setting up stalls on the mountain, and the things they sell are also varied.
Chen Luo saw many things that were not available in the Tiannan region. Some spiritual materials that were sold at sky-high prices in the Tiannan region, such as the Yuanjing Stone, a spiritual material that the Rock Peak Master and a group of cultivators desperately fought for, were extremely cheap here. One Shadow Stone could be exchanged for ten Yuanjing Stones, and this was because the quantity was small. If you bought more, the price could be negotiated down.
Chen Luo saw many martial arts techniques, poisonous insects, magical instruments, and even corpse refining. In the corner, Chen Luo also saw several evil cultivators selling ghosts.
It was an eye-opener along the way. Compared with the barrenness of the lower world, this place gave him the feeling of a real world of cultivation.
Buzz!
As they were strolling around, a breath of air suddenly descended upon the market.
Chen Luo turned around and saw an old Taoist priest with white beard standing on a crane, looking at him with a smile on his face. The crane under his feet rose and fell, its golden wings flapping constantly, creating a circle of airflow.
"Friend Lu, long time no see." (End of this chapter)
