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...
After digesting the pill, Chen Luo began to organize the magical powers he had mastered.
I have been improving my cultivation before, and I rarely have time to stop and practice quietly like now. So far, many of the magical powers that Chen Luo has mastered are still at the foundation-building stage, such as the soul technique, the curse technique, etc. There are very few magical powers at the Jindan stage. This weakness has been highlighted in the previous battles.
In the Jindan realm, he could still barely cope with it, relying on his external brain and realm to suppress others. But in the Yuanying realm, it was not enough. The Yuanying cultivators in the upper realm had a complete inheritance, and the strong ones among them had mastered their own "methods". If you want to defeat them, you must have stronger magical powers.
Curses, soul flags, Yin thunder, Yi Mu sword formation, etc. are often used in the underworld.
Now I can no longer keep up with the realm.
So Chen Luo planned to take this opportunity to sort it out. According to this idea, more than 500 external brains were called upon by him to create magical powers.
"The blood of hatred is very good."
Chen Luo controlled the spiritual power absorbed from the elixir, summoned the resentful brain of his 'second brother', and operated the Demon Bone Array Pattern Technique.
This body-building technique from Zhu Chungang has great growth potential.
So far, apart from the Heart Demon Art, Chen Luo's only martial art that can keep up with his realm. As the bone pattern lit up, the blood in Chen Luo's body also began to be mobilized, and a light blood mist emanated from his Nascent Soul.
These blood mists merged with the bone patterns. The four Nascent Soul spiritual powers that were previously absorbed into his body were integrated into it by Chen Luo. This change made Chen Luo's body of law strengthened again, reaching the level of a top-grade fourth-level magic weapon. The spiritual powers of the four people including Lu Ying were not weak. Chen Luo was ready to integrate these spiritual powers into it and create a Nascent Soul Realm magical power suitable for himself.
"Neither the Blood Transformation nor the Demon Bone Array Pattern Technique is a killing technique. What I need is a magical power to deal with the Nascent Soul Realm."
The brain that was proficient in killing quickly became active, and thoughts popped up one after another.
'The evil spirit is condensed, and can capture a group of monsters.'
"The dragon's body movements, three strikes of the swimming dragon!"
"The best method is murderous aura. The murderous aura becomes a sword, which can even cut through a calamity."
"The spiritual power is poisonous and can harm people."
The spirit pool's divine beast also reacted. This brain was incomplete and only interested in killing. The dragon's brain also had several natural killing moves, and the "second brother"'s vengeful brain also gave feedback. In addition to the three of them, there were more than a hundred people who were good at physical cultivation and killing. These thoughts kept colliding, allowing Chen Luo's "Nascent Soul Divine Power" to take shape little by little.
As Chen Luo sorted out these thoughts, the Heart Demon Stone in his hand visibly merged into his body, becoming a source of energy for him to improve his cultivation.
Five years later.
Late autumn.
The city of Qihe was bleak, and the leaves on the roadside trees had turned golden yellow. The golden dead leaves were scattered on the long street, and the autumn wind blew past, making a rustling sound.
Qihe City is the city managed by the older generation of Heart Demon Sect members like Heipao.
Wang Kuan stood at the bow of the flower boat, wearing a white gown, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking down at the water splashed by the bow. Behind him was a square table filled with wine and food, and a woman in a red dress was kneeling beside the table, drinking slowly.
"It's been thirty years. Before I knew it, I've been sitting in this position for thirty years."
“Is thirty years a long time?”
The woman in the red dress shook the wine glass in her hand, glanced at Wang Kuan who was standing at the bow of the boat, and asked casually.
"Very long, so long that I almost forgot the deal I made with you."
Wang Kuan turned around and looked at the woman behind him.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me this time?"
This person was none other than Chen Luo’s assistant in Wenxiang Pavilion and one of the registered disciples in black robe.
"We have clearly told you the price of many things from the beginning. You should also know that with your qualifications, if we didn't help you, you would never be able to form a pill."
The woman in the red dress took a sip of the wine in the glass and frowned slightly as if the wine was spicy.
She threw the wine glass aside and took a bite of the vegetables.
"Everything has a price. I understand! This time I want the Nascent Soul Method!" A faint light flashed in Wang Kuan's eyes.
He is no longer satisfied with the Jindan stage.
The group of people behind him had great power, and he wanted to use them to go further. In the upper realm, only those in the Nascent Soul stage were qualified to walk outside and gain more benefits.
“It’s not cheap.”
Smiles appeared on the women's faces. They were not afraid that Wang Kuan was greedy, but they were afraid that he was not greedy enough!
Only greedy people are easy to control.
"Name your price, just what I have."
"The Heart Demon Stone and the Heart Demon Painting. I want 90% of the thirty years' income from the Wenxiang Pavilion."
"no problem."
Wang Kuan nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.
He was the manager of the Wenxiang Pavilion. Over the years, he and Zhao Qian had privately embezzled countless Heart Demon Stones for their cultivation, and no one had discovered it until now. The person in charge above them was just a decoration, and none of the disciples of the Heart Demon Sect cared about the trivial matters below.
Like all immortal cultivators, they only have their own immortal path in their eyes.
This is a common problem among all immortal cultivators, especially those who occupy a higher position.
"Send someone to pick it up in three days."
"Don't you need to plan it?"
"No need. The official disciples of the Heart Demon Sect never care about these things. They don't understand management, nor do they care about the affairs below. They only know how to practice in seclusion."
Wang Kuan said casually.
His demeanor was completely different from when he was in Chen Luo's courtyard before.
The respect for some people was superficial. Deep down, Wang Kuan looked down on those people. In his opinion, if the disciples of the Heart Demon Sect did not have a good background, they were nothing in front of him.
"I heard that the current head of Wenxiang Pavilion is the nephew of Black Robe. Are you sure you don't need to pay attention to him?"
"I've seen a lot of second-generation people who don't know anything."
"Okay then, it's settled."
The woman stood up and walked to the side of the boat, stepped into the air, and left the boat. The moment her feet left the boat, a ball of water automatically emerged from the river water, holding her up in the air.
"By the way, there is something I want to remind you of."
The woman in the red dress turned around and spoke to Wang Kuan on the boat.
Hearing the voice, Wang Kuan looked over in confusion. In the past, when a deal was reached, the other party would leave quickly, but this time, for some reason, they stayed a little longer.
"The current leader of your Heart Demon Sect seems to know about us. Many of the fellow disciples who were trading with you have been arrested. You should be careful. I don't want my partners to have their souls extracted and their spirits refined one day, leaving them without a complete body."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Kuan's expression suddenly changed.
What he was doing now was selling out the interests of the sect. Everything would be fine if he was not discovered, but once he was found out, he would end up in a terrible situation. This woman was too insidious. She didn't reveal the news until the deal was done. It was obvious that she wanted to drag him into the water.
But now that things have developed to this point, there is no way he can stop.
The two sides have traded so many times that they have long been tied together.
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
'It seems we have to find a way.'
The crime of betraying the sect's interests was too great for him to bear alone. Even his old friend Zhao Qian couldn't bear it either. The best way was to find someone to take the blame.
This person must be important enough to divert everyone's attention and even cause conflicts within the sect.
As long as things get big enough, he and Zhao Qian will have a chance to land safely.
Master Chen is very suitable!
He has a black robe background and is also a formal disciple of the Heart Demon Sect.
"I think the boss will understand."
Wang Kuan made the decision without any hesitation.
Chen Luo was still practicing in the secret room.
For five years, apart from occasionally going out for a walk, he spent most of his time practicing here. After five years of polishing, his Nascent Soul magical power has gradually yielded results. Although Chen Luo has not tried it with anyone, his intuition tells him that this magical power is definitely not weak.
By utilizing the blood of hatred and superimposing the patterns of the demon bone array, Chen Luo created a killing technique.
This killing technique incorporates a variety of methods he has mastered in the lower world. Chen Luo used the power of bone patterns to compress the thunder method into his body. This compression allowed his speed to break through the limit of physical cultivation. The power of curse, soul, inner demon, etc., mixed with the instincts of the dragon and the spirit pool monster, was transformed into a magical power of illusion. Every attack would cause a shock to the mind, as if being stared at by a monster.
It is difficult for an opponent with a bad character to exert the full strength of this magical power.
This magical power, which was assembled and modified by hundreds of brains and finally finalized by the "big brother" and "second brother", was named "Killing Seal" by Chen Luo. Chen Luo chose this name mainly because it corresponds to the "Nine Imperials" method. According to Chen Luo's idea, the complete Nine Imperials should have nine magical powers.
For nine seals!
One day in the future, he will become an immortal being.
The Nine Seals Method will also become a taboo along with him, for example, it may be renamed as 'Nine Secrets' or 'Nine Seals Sutra'.
Apart from the Killing Seal, the rest of the external brain also gained something. Not to mention the basic abilities such as alchemy, qi refining, and talisman drawing, the biggest change was insect control.
After arriving in the upper realm, the strange insects underwent tremendous changes. The Life-Borrowing Gu and the two centipedes fell into a deep sleep, and the Soul-Parsing Gu dispersed into countless tiny particles. Among the strange insects that Chen Luo controlled, the Soul-Parsing Gu was the most special, as it was composed of countless even smaller insects.
These insects combined together form a complete soul-parasitic insect, which can control life of the same level. As long as there is a "soul", it can be controlled by it. When Chen Luo was being hunted by Ning Chenye, he used the soul-parasitic insect to control the big whales in the sea, helping him escape.
“Is this an evolution?”
Chen Luo stretched out his index finger, but there was nothing on the tip of his finger.
But he clearly felt the presence of even smaller soul-parasitic insects appearing at his fingertips. These auras were so tiny that even his consciousness could not see them. Of Chen Luo's more than 500 external brains, only two people could see them.
One is the eldest brother Changqing, and the other is the second brother Qiuyuan.
The spirit pool monsters and dragons in the Transformation Realm cannot be seen. (End of this chapter)
