I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

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...

Chapter 439 Accident

The situation in the Heart Demon Sect became increasingly turbulent. The First Elder and the Seventh Elder in black robes fought each other several times. An invisible hand was pushing things in secret. The already sharp conflicts within the Heart Demon Sect could no longer be reconciled under the instigation of these hidden hands.

The leader of the Heart Demon Sect also discovered the problem.

But he had no ability to solve it. The pressure from the Yellow Springs Ferry was increasing, and the Green Ghost King appeared more and more frequently, making him exhausted from being on guard.

Chen Luo was observing the outside world, and the subordinates of the Changqing Sect kept collecting this information for him. Through the information he gathered, Chen Luo found that the problem was the same as he guessed. Not only the Heart Demon Sect, but also the Shadow Eater Sect, Wanxian Island, and even the Qionghua Sect in the upper realm that he had never been to, all encountered similar situations.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of many people, but since the person behind it dared to expose himself, it meant that the situation had reached this point and he was no longer afraid of being known.

This is the worst news.

"Master, Hu Shan is in some trouble."

Hu Si pushed the door and walked in.

Ever since the development of the Changqing Sect, the way subordinates addressed Chen Luo has changed.

Chen Luo felt that this title was not very good. It reminded him of a certain leader who played with embroidery needles. However, Hu Si and others did not care at all. In their view, the leader was the leader, and he was the same as the leader of the Heart Demon Sect. Naturally, he should be given corresponding respect.

"There is a casual cultivator named Yue Yijian who captured Hu Shan's daughter."

Hu Shan has a daughter, which he reported when he joined Chen Luo. Hu Shan worked so hard to become stronger because he wanted to take good care of his daughter and give her everything.

"It's troublesome?"

Chen Luo did not ask for details. He knew that if the matter was easy to resolve, Hu Si would never report it to him.

"This Yue Yijian is very mysterious, and his magical powers are very strange. Hu Shan tried to test him once, but found that he was no match for him. The same is true for the other elders in the sect."

There are many worshippers in the Changqing Sect now, and the Sixth Elder of the Heart Demon Sect is among them. Even these people can't solve the problem, it seems that this matter is indeed a bit troublesome.

"Hu Shan wants to use all his accumulated contributions to exchange for a chance for you to take action."

Hu Si and Hu Shan were good friends from the same village and had a close relationship. Before setting out this time, Hu Shan specifically found him and asked him to help ask the leader for help.

"I see."

Chen Luo nodded, neither agreeing nor refusing, but just asked Hu Si to leave his location information. Whether he went or not, he didn't plan to tell Hu Si.

Only by being cautious can you live longer; this is the life lesson his uncle taught him.

Small fishing village.

Completely different from the high-altitude world of cultivating immortals, the small fishing village is like a place isolated from the world. Most of the people here don’t even know how to read, and the most famous person they have ever seen is Master Yue in the village.

Mr. Yue is a kind and charitable person.

Many people in the village have received his kindness. It is said that when Mr. Yue was young, he went to the county and studied. He almost passed the imperial examination and became a high-ranking official. Later, he could not stand the darkness of officialdom and came to the small fishing village to live in seclusion.

This is all the information Chen Luo found out about Yue Yijian after arriving at the place.

The independent cultivator who captured Hu Shan's daughter hid himself very deeply. He had lived in this small fishing village for at least thirty years. His life trajectory and origin were perfectly crafted. If his whereabouts had not been exposed this time, Chen Luo and the others would never have noticed him.

"Why would such a person suddenly capture Hu Shan's daughter?"

Hiding and dormancy are different from seclusion. When practicing, one can concentrate on one's practice and time will pass quickly. But disguise is different. He needs to completely integrate into the life here. Wearing a mask every day, he runs around here with these ordinary people who have no spiritual roots for a few pieces of silver.

People who are not strong enough in character will never be able to make it through such a day.

Why would such a patient person capture Hu Shan's daughter despite the risk of being exposed?

Spreading his spiritual sense, Chen Luo quickly found the location of Yue Yijian.

With his current strength, it would be very easy for him to find Yue Yijian in the small fishing village, not to mention that he had a group of 'old friends' in his external brain to help him.

"Um?"

Chen Luo's eyes flickered, and he saw an interesting picture through his spiritual sense.

A scene that had never been seen in the underworld.

The figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

The room was dim, the walls were old, and there were patterns drawn in blood all over the room. A pungent smell filled the entire room.

Light footsteps were heard, and a hunched figure appeared in the darkness. He walked to the wooden table, stretched out two fingers and flicked the oil lamp on the table. The green light lit up, illuminating the dark corner of the room.

Two figures, one big and one small, were tied to the ground, one on the left and the other on the right.

The patterns drawn in blood all point to the little girl on the right.

Perhaps having heard the sound, the two figures in the room began to struggle, and one of them started cursing.

"Old man, let us go quickly. When the leader comes, you will be dead!"

The person who spoke was Hu Shan, one of Chen Luo's two assistants. Hu Shan himself did not expect that his whereabouts would be exposed. A Jindan cultivator was captured before he could even face this person. The scene of the heaven and earth's vitality being completely frozen reminded him of the leader.

Nascent Soul cultivator!

Only a Nascent Soul cultivator could give him such a strong sense of oppression.

This Yue Yijian, whose name no one has ever heard of, is actually a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"As long as I complete this step, I can be reborn in another body. The matter of life span will no longer bother me. I will be able to continue the broken path to becoming a god!"

Ignoring Hu Shan's curse, Yue Yijian walked to the side of the little girl, his eyes full of desire.

Innate Tao body!

This was the qualification he had always dreamed of, and the only body that matched him. As long as he could possess this person, he could be reborn and live a second life.

In the upper realm, three thousand years is a threshold.

Even if a great man who had used the "dharma seed" to break through to the state of incarnation could not live for more than three thousand years. In this environment, the old guys had come up with many evil ways to prolong their lives, and the most popular one was "taking over another's body". Although no one had succeeded, many evil cultivators firmly believed that taking over another's body could help them live a second life, because someone had dug out relevant ancient books from a certain ruin, and someone had seen a fox with a special bloodline in the demon clan, which was born with the ability to take over another's body.

Because of this innate ability, the entire clan of that demon fox was slaughtered by the powerful people in the upper realm, and only a few were left in the lower realm.

Yue Yijian lived for more than two thousand nine hundred years.

Now he could clearly feel his own weakness. In a few years, three years, or five years, he would die here and turn into a handful of dirt.

All his cultivation would be wiped out, and Yue Yijian would disappear from the world of immortal cultivation and be slowly forgotten.

This was something Yue Yijian could not tolerate.

So he thought of taking over other people's bodies. In order to find a suitable target for his possession, he spent more than 30 years. During these 30 years, he took over the bodies of more than 100 people. On the surface, he was a kind man named Yue Laoye in a small fishing village, but secretly, he was an evil cultivator who took over other people's bodies in exchange for lives.

It’s a pity that it’s so difficult to take over someone else’s body.

The conditions described in the ancient books are completely different from those in the current world of immortal cultivation. Many things mentioned in the ancient books are different from those in the current world of immortal cultivation. For example, the "spirit", "void" and "intention" mentioned in the method of taking over the body, these three things represent the power of the soul in the current world of immortal cultivation, but they are obviously not the case in the method of taking over the body, because it is clearly distinguished.

"Let's get started."

After adjusting his own state, Yue Yijian pressed his withered palm towards the little girl's head. The blood-red pattern in the room lit up, and the dark red light illuminated the entire room. It seemed as if something had crawled out of the underworld, causing the pattern on the wall to distort.

"Daddy, save me!"

The little girl who sensed danger started crying. She was very strong and had persisted until now without giving up.

But at this moment she was really scared.

"Stop it, old man!!"

Hu Shan's eyes became bloodshot when he heard the voice.

This daughter was left by his ex-wife, and she was everything to Hu Shan. Hearing his daughter crying, he felt like he was going to collapse.

He struggled to stand up, but his body seemed to be pressed down by huge mountains. The bloody power pressed him tightly. The patterns on the ground spread to his body like living things. Dark red threads like wire worms climbed up his body and began to absorb his blood. The piercing pain made him scream.

Possessing another's body requires consumables, and Hu Shan, a direct relative, is the best consumable chosen by Yue Yijian.

"The leader will not let you go."

Hu Shan used up his last bit of strength, turned his head, and stared at Yue Yijian over there, as if he wanted to memorize this face in his heart.

"The whining of the weak is especially ridiculous."

The light on Yue Yijian's hand became brighter and brighter. The little girl showed a painful expression on her face. She could clearly feel a force entering her mind. Her body was being subtly changed by this force, from her brain to her body, and then to her blood and spiritual roots.

Click!

With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the wall.

This crack caused the dark red light in the room to suddenly stagnate.

Desperate Hu Shan was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. When he set out two days ago, he asked his good friend Hu Si to ask the leader for help. He thought he would not be able to wait, but he did not expect that the leader would come at this critical moment.

Yue Yijian, who was performing the 'body possession technique', frowned.

He remembered that he had set up a barrier formation outside. Even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would take some time to break through the third-level formation. Although he ignored Hu Shan's words, he was secretly making preparations.

How could an old monster who has lived for nearly three thousand years make such a low-level mistake?

“Just hold on a little longer.”

boom!!

The wall exploded, and a stronger force broke through the wall like a monster, violently disrupting Yue Yijian's arrangement and shattering the blood veins in the room. Hu Shan, who was pinned to the ground, felt his body lighten and instantly regained control of his body.

“Master!!”

Hu Shan's face was full of surprise.

"I knocked on the door just now, and no one answered. I thought you were not at home, so I opened the door for you." Chen Luo's eyes swept around and fell on Yue Yijian who was opposite him.

Great monk!

He didn't expect that Yue Yijian was actually a great cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage! (End of this chapter)
