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 518: The Tradition of Qionghua Sect

After sensing his own situation, A Gu looked around blankly and moved his hands and feet.

He found that all his injuries were healed. Not only that, he seemed to have endless energy. He tried to move, and found that his body was supported by an invisible force. Floating in the air, the rain outside was isolated by this force.

Looking again, there was another person besides Gu He.

A "god-man" surrounded by stars, even the rain dared not offend him. Not far from the god-man stood a man, it was the ancient river that he had carried all the way not long ago. At this moment, the ancient river had completely changed. The symptoms of dementia disappeared, his eyes became clear, and his hair changed from messy dry grass to long black hair.

A Gu remembered that the Grandpa Gu he saw when he was a child looked like this.

At that time, Gu He had not yet gone crazy, and still possessed the same magical powers as a "witch". The "secret technique" of their Agu family was taught by Gu He in this state.

"Uncle Master, let's go."

When the voice of the 'god man' sounded, A Gu instantly came back to his senses and lowered his head in awe. When he looked up again, the 'god man' had disappeared, leaving only Gu He.

"Grandpa Gu, was that the great master Kurosawa just now?"

A Gu walked forward quickly, first checking Gu He's condition, and after making sure he was not injured, he asked carefully. In his cognition, the Great God Kurosawa was the most powerful being in the world. The one who could pull him back from the brink of death and kill the witch priest of the Black Wolf Tribe must be the 'Great God Kurosawa'.

"Agu, I'm leaving."

Gu He patted A Gu's shoulder.

He had been living in a daze these years, relying entirely on the care of the Agu family. Although he was not conscious during that time, he still had the memories he should have. A Qi Refining Realm Body Refining Technique was not enough to repay the care this family had given him.

"Where are you going?"

A Gu felt confused for a moment, and had an inexplicable feeling of loss in his heart.

In his understanding, Gu He is his last relative in this world.

"If one day in the future you leave here, take this thing to the Qionghua Sect. Anyone who sees this token will lead you into the Tao." Gu He took out a three-inch long iron sword from his arms. All the storage bags on his body were destroyed by the heavenly calamity. The only thing that could be used as a token was this small sword.

He added a hint of sword intent to it, and anyone from the Qionghua Sect could recognize this sword intent.

"Go out? To the greater part of Montenegro?"

A Gu's expression became even more confused, he didn't understand.

But I still tried hard to remember what Grandpa Gu said.

"Farther than most of the Black Mountains. Go ahead and practice well."

Gu He extended his index finger and tapped on A Gu's forehead. An orthodox body-refining technique was engraved into A Gu's forehead along his index finger. If A Gu could master this body-refining technique for the Nascent Soul Realm, he would naturally have a chance to go out in the future. If he could not master it, this technique would be enough for him to live a peaceful life.

After doing all this, Gu He turned into a stream of light and chased in the direction where Chen Luo disappeared.

Different from Agu.

He was an outsider, and it was ten times more difficult for him to leave than for people from the wilderness.

"Done?"

In the clouds, Chen Luo asked. He left first to give Gu He time.

"It's really just a dream."

Gu He also sighed. He didn't know how he had survived for more than a hundred years. The Dragon Tomb had more secrets than they expected. The deeper they went, the more secrets the Dragon Tomb revealed.

When they were outside, they just thought that the Dragon Tomb was an ancient tomb and a relic.

After entering, he found that there was actually a small world inside the dragon tomb. The builders of the dragon tomb used the world as "tomb bricks" and piled them outside to block tomb robbers. This was the first time he had heard of such an exaggerated level of "tomb bricks".

"Where are the other six ancestors?"

Chen Luo opened his mouth to ask. He only smelled the scent of Gu He, so the first person he looked for after coming down was Gu He.

"Two died, and four more have entered the inner demon tribulation. I don't know if they will have a chance to come out."

Gu He waved his hand and took out six pitch-black "bone sticks". These "bones" were the magical swords that the seven ancestors of Qionghua used to dominate the world.

"These are their swords."

After losing their spirituality, the seven swords were reduced to rough pieces, and it was unknown how many years it would take to restore them. The same was true for Gu He's own Taixu Sword. The seven bones that were thrown aside by A Gu like garbage were the Qionghua Seven Swords.

The Seventh Ancestor of Qionghua.

Each of them was a brilliant person, and they found the most authentic method of transformation of spirits in the declining Qionghua Sect's classics. Based on the cultivation of the seven people, they set up a great formation to induce disaster in the transformation of spirits.

All plans went perfectly, except that the result was a little beyond expectations.

The first step of the deviation is the Dragon Tomb.

After entering the Dragon Tomb, they did not attract the Heavenly Tribulation, but were trapped here. In the next thirty years, they had several conflicts with the Centipede Demon and the Inn Nascent Soul, until an adventure fifty years ago, when they found a crack in a wild tribe, and next to the crack, they sensed the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Then comes the disaster.

A group of Nascent Soul cultivators who came from the Tiannan Region triggered a heavenly calamity at the edge of the crack.

The Seven Ancestors of Qionghua were also inside.

The heavenly tribulation was successfully induced, but the specifications were slightly over the standard. The seven ancestors of Qionghua, each of whom was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. The seven heavenly tribulations merged together and superimposed on each other, causing a qualitative change that reached the level of forty-nine minor heavenly tribulations.

The two heavenly tribulations destroyed their arrangements that had lasted for nearly a thousand years. The fourth-level formation that Fairy Lingchi had helped them set up was blown to pieces on the spot.

The subsequent thunder tribulations became more severe than the last.

After the thunder tribulation, everyone was seriously injured. The accumulation of more than 2,000 years was consumed. Even the spiritual tools they carried with them were severely damaged, and their spirituality was greatly damaged. The people who followed them to overcome the tribulation were even more miserable. Except for the centipede monster who saved his life by shedding his shell, all the other Nascent Soul cultivators who rushed in temporarily died.

After the thunder tribulation comes the tribulation of the inner demon.

This is what’s really fatal.

As soon as the Heart Demon Tribulation came, the black fire of the Tribulation burned the two ancestors, Tai Hao and Tai Su, to death. The remaining four people also fell into the Heart Demon Tribulation one after another. Gu He was the last one to pass the Tribulation because he had fought with the centipede monster, and was half a beat slower than the others.

It was this slow half beat that allowed Gu He to escape the disaster.

After realizing something was wrong, he immediately used the secret technique to avoid disaster.

For a strong man of Gu He's level, the secret art of avoiding disasters is not a secret. In the upper realm, heavenly disasters are completely extinct, which leads to no one being interested in the secret art of avoiding disasters dug out from ancient tombs. With the foundation of the Qionghua School in the upper realm, a large number of secret art of avoiding disasters can be obtained with a little attention.

"My inner demon tribulation has not yet begun, and I am only halfway through the transformation to the spirit realm."

Looking at Chen Luo beside him, Gu He suddenly felt the disparity in the world of immortal cultivation. He had thought that one day in the future, Chen Luo would surpass him, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon. Walking beside Chen Luo, he could sense the looming pressure. He had only felt this feeling in the immortals of the upper realm and the incarnation of the Taoists. Even the incarnation of the immortals and the Taoists could not bring as much oppression as Chen Luo. This feeling was like another realm.

"After you get out, you can just go back to the sect and do retreat. The inner demon tribulation does not require a specific place. I will also teach you some experience in overcoming the tribulation. I will keep an eye on the remaining four uncles. If anyone succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, I will bring them out."

Chen Luo and Gu He sped all the way.

For Chen Luo now, the Dragon Tomb below the Star Tomb is a smooth road, and he can fly freely. Even if he occasionally attracts those tomb-guarding puppets, he can easily drive them away. After absorbing the brains of thirty Changqing brothers, his aura has been greatly improved.

Soon the two arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Tomb.

Gu He had been to this place no less than a hundred times, but he couldn't leave every time he came. The formation was changing, there were countless tomb-guarding puppets around, and those stone dragons would sometimes revive. Any of these dangers would be fatal to them.

However, this kind of danger does not exist at all around Chen Luo.

When passing the Dragon Tomb, they both flew over it. This experience made Gu He doubt his life for a while. He always felt that the immortality they were cultivating was not the same kind.

"open!"

Chen Luo circulated his energy and made a mark towards the entrance.

Boom boom.

The formation was in operation, the prohibition flickered, and dozens of puppets emerged from the ground, revealing the bronze door hidden underneath. Two stone dragons left the Panlong Pillar, one on the left and one on the right, like doormen, helping them to open the bronze door to the left and right, revealing the dark vortex inside.

The two did not stop, but turned into streams of light and sank into the vortex.

Southern region.

Above the golden cave, a twisted vortex appeared out of nowhere, and two figures walked out of it.

“It finally came out.”

Gu He narrowed his eyes, and for a moment he was not used to the light outside. He had been in the Dragon Tomb for too long, and his body's adaptability had changed. The body of a Nascent Soul would still be subject to different restrictions in different worlds. The Spiritualization Realm would not have this worry, because the core strength of a Spiritualization cultivator lies in his own "Spirit".

"Let me recover first."

Gu He's figure flashed and appeared at the top of the mountain of Jinguan Cave.

This former top sect in the Tiannan region had fallen into ruins under the care of the seven of them. Now there were only some inferior monsters on the mountain. The strongest was only the second level, and the two of them simply chose to ignore the monsters of this level.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Gu He closed his eyes.

The Taixu Sword Technique in his body started to work, and the light in the entire area dimmed in an instant. The spiritual power surged towards the ancient river on the top of the mountain like a tide. Even the fourth-level spiritual veins at the foot of the mountain showed a brief blank, showing signs of being exhausted.

The dragon tomb's hundreds of years of consumption quickly recovered, and the dried-up spirit body returned to its peak.

The vitality of heaven and earth was leaping with joy, as if celebrating Gu He's breakthrough. In other worlds, passing the thunder tribulation was considered a breakthrough, but this was the Tiannan Region, and Gu He looked down on those inferior breakthroughs, so he would definitely pass the inner demon tribulation.

"I'm going to see Fairy Lingchi."

"What do you want to do with that woman?"

After recovering, Gu He was a little confused. In his memory, Chen Luo seemed to have no dealings with the Lingchi Fairy.

"There were some misunderstandings between me and her, and now they can finally be resolved."

Chen Luo flew up, his consciousness spread out like the ocean, and began to search for the breath of the fairy Lingchi. Seeing this, Gu He did not ask any more questions. He was very familiar with Chen Luo's state. When the seven of them dominated the Tiannan region before, they also resolved misunderstandings with others in this way.

This is the tradition of Qionghua Sect (End of this chapter)
