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...
Seven countries region.
Luxury country.
Mountain City Inn.
".The black fish demon held two deep sea crystal copper hammers and shouted at the cultivators, "Who dares to kill me?" The cultivators of She State fell to their knees, and no one dared to resist."
The storyteller held a gavel and preached to the people in the hall. When it came to the key points, some pictures were projected from the spirit stone next to him. These pictures were blessed by magic and looked as if they were actually there. They were very realistic.
"Then what?"
The actor in the hall immediately asked.
"At this critical moment, a mountain suddenly flew down from the sky. Before the black fish demon could react, it was crushed by the mountain. For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the demon blood soaked the mountain. This mountain was the immortal mountain summoned by the Taoist Changsheng."
"Wouldn't that mean that all the fellow Taoists who resisted the Black Fish King would also be suppressed to death?"
"This is where the Taoist Changsheng's strength lies!"
The storyteller turned the spirit stone on the table, and the pictures on it changed accordingly.
A pitch-black mountain flew down from the sky and suppressed the Black Fish Demon in the center. The Black Fish Demon in the center died on the spot, and the human cultivators who were fighting against the Black Fish Demon were also suppressed in the mountain. But not long after, these people climbed out of the mountain, and no one was left behind.
"The immortal mountain summoned by the Taoist is not comparable to ordinary magical powers. The immortal mountain has spirits, and it can only suppress evil spirits. For righteous cultivators like us, the immortal mountain can suppress them without hurting us."
"hiss!"
A group of casual cultivators who were listening to the book gasped in shock, becoming even more shocked by the Taoist's magical powers.
The storyteller's story was not made up, but something that happened not long ago. The spiritual stone on his desk was not an ordinary stone, but a photo stone. The pictures on it were recorded by someone using spiritual power, and they were real events.
"Your reputation is really getting louder and louder. Do you want to change direction? Maybe you can reach the top in one step by practicing the divine Taoism."
Corner of the Inn.
Chen Luo and the flower-backed turtle, who had changed their appearance, were eating and drinking, wearing ordinary blue-gray clothes, exactly the same as the other casual cultivators in the inn.
The Seven Kingdoms area is different from other places. Here, all the foundation-building cultivators can be kings. The Qi Refining Realm cultivators are all immortals. The inn where the two of them are located is the largest market around the mountain city, and it is full of Qi Refining Realm cultivators.
To them, the strength of Chen Luo and the Flower-backed Turtle was like that of "immortals", and they could be dealt with by simple illusion techniques.
"Do you know Shinto law?"
Chen Luo looked at the flower-backed turtle in surprise.
Shintoism was a thing of the past for Chen Luo. When he and his senior brother Du De and others left the Yue Kingdom Tomb, they carried with them the tasks of the older generation. The one that impressed him the most was Shintoism.
It’s a pity that Chen Luo’s vision was limited at that time, and his Shinto magic was not successful.
When he returned later, the three old seniors were gone. This was one of the few regrets in Chen Luo's heart.
"It's an ancient practice that many of the demon race's predecessors have practiced. The Shinto methods that some special races have cultivated are even stronger than those of you humans. The most famous is the Dragon Clan. Our Life Turtle Clan also took this path before, but was later abandoned by our ancestors."
The flower-backed turtle is of the life turtle bloodline, with a long history, and knows many secrets that outsiders are unaware of.
"Why?"
"Shinto law has no future. This road is blocked."
The flower-backed tortoise didn't hide it. Anyway, the two of them were just chatting, and similar conversations often took place along the way. Both the man and the tortoise were extraordinary. The flower-backed tortoise had knowledge, and Chen Luo had an external brain. The two of them could communicate with each other and make up for their shortcomings.
"Did you calculate the person I asked you to calculate?"
Ignoring the question of the divine law, Chen Luo turned his attention back to Ning Chenye. He and the flower-backed turtle flew over the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain and crossed the evil cultivation area to the Seven Kingdoms area, not to hang out, but to find Ning Chenye.
The whereabouts of this "dearest friends, relatives, brothers" that Chen Luo had been talking about for a long time were erratic.
Even with the help of the Life Turtle, it is still very difficult to find it.
"It's a good thing. This guy has a complicated background. Be careful."
The flower-backed tortoise gave a reminder, turned the divination result into a tortoise shell and placed it on the table.
Although he didn't know what the relationship between Chen Luo and Ning Chenye was, the existence that could interfere with their Fate Turtle Clan's divination was definitely not an ordinary person. Just like the dragon tomb he tried to calculate before, the source behind it must be an extremely terrifying existence.
"It's just visiting old friends, nothing else."
Grabbing the turtle shell, Chen Luo quickly read what he wanted from it.
Guoshan County?
When Chen Luo saw this place, he instinctively frowned. In his external brain, the old man who had been left in the corner by Chen Luo for a long time appeared and helped Chen Luo determine the location information.
"Do you know this place?"
Flower-backed turtle
"Twice."
Chen Luo was sure that Guoshan County had left a deep impression on him. Guoshan County was originally a normal small county, but was later occupied by a group of evil cultivators who practiced the "Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art". All the people in the city became the food for these evil cultivators and were used as "foundation building pills".
The first time Chen Luo went to Guoshan County, he was accompanying the mummy brother from the Corpse Cultivation Sect. That time, they went for the foundation-building spiritual material Ningshen Grass.
The second time he went there was for revenge.
"As expected of a Lifeless One, he can even escape from a place like this unscathed." The Flower-backed Tortoise marveled.
How could the place that could affect his divination be so simple?
"Let's go. If we're any later, Brother Ning might run away again."
Chen Luo stood up and walked outside. The storyteller beside him slammed the gavel and started a new story, which was still about the Taoist Immortal. The flower-backed tortoise slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, listened to the beginning, and then stood up and chased in the direction where Chen Luo disappeared.
Guoshan County.
The desolate buildings were exactly the same as when Chen Luo first came in, with dust all over the ground, dilapidated wooden houses, blood-red inns, and the mountain spirits and evil spirits wandering around the town, which were the least threatening. For Chen Luo and the flower-backed turtle now, these low-level evil spirits were like weeds, and they were too lazy to even take a second look at them.
"The evil spirit here is even stronger than in our demon world."
Walking on the road in Guoshan County, the flower-backed tortoise kept divination. With Chen Luo helping him conceal the secret, he was very happy recently. As long as it didn't involve the dragon tomb, there would be no heavenly tribulation to trouble him.
Chen Luo walked in front.
Following his memory, he soon arrived at the corner at the end of the inn. There was a row of stone steps from this side, and on top was a crooked tree. The first Foundation Establishment Master Brain that Chen Luo obtained was picked up from the crooked tree.
When I reached the top of the mountain again, a familiar scene came into view.
Chen Luo stopped and looked towards the end of the road.
The crooked tree was still there, and the old man hanging from it appeared again, and everything seemed to have returned to the starting point. The medicinal garden in front of us disappeared, and in its place was an inn built of redwood.
There were two red lanterns hanging at the door of the inn, with the words "this life" written on them.
The turtle who was calculating felt a tightness in his heart, and the light on the tortoise pattern on his back stopped. He was just calculating the inn in front of him. When he calculated the word "this life", he clearly felt a sense of danger, as if if he continued to calculate, something ominous would be involved.
"Evil nature."
The flower-backed turtle instinctively retracted its neck.
Chen Luo was also looking at the inn.
He didn't know why the inn had come to this place, and whether Ning Chenye was still in the inn.
"How about going in and taking a look?"
Flower-backed turtle stood beside Chen Luo and took a look inside. This inn, which was obviously not crowded, was brightly lit, and the lobby on the first floor was full of people. These people were toasting and chatting inside, and it was very lively.
“No hurry.”
Chen Luo had been to the inn once and knew how dangerous this place was.
The essence of this thing is the state of transformation.
Ning Chenye once told him that the reason why he failed to break through was because he wanted to "devour" the "dharma seeds" of the inn. Before breaking through the spirit transformation realm, Chen Luo did not feel the problem. Now looking at it from the perspective of the spirit transformation, he only felt that the inn and the surroundings were connected. The spiritual energy within the inn was transformed into evil energy. The "evil energy" that Chen Luo sensed in the evil cultivation area a long time ago was emitted from the inn.
"Brother Ning, don't hide, come out! I can see you."
Retracting his spiritual sense, Chen Luo suddenly shouted.
The sound passed through the door of the inn, and the drinkers who were drinking inside suddenly stopped, and the sound stopped abruptly. The noisy inn suddenly became quiet, and pairs of eyes looked towards the two people outside the inn.
"We are brothers. I miss you so much after not seeing you for so long. I brought you a seafood this time."
The flower-backed turtle, who was originally watching the fun, felt his neck tighten, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this sentence.
Seafood? I didn't see any.
"It really helped you break through."
A group of 'drinkers' on the first floor of the inn suddenly spoke up, all speaking in unison, with voices from both men and women, young and old, which sounded very strange.
"It's just a small breakthrough, not worth mentioning."
Chen Luo was searching for Ning Chenye's whereabouts while talking. He definitely couldn't enter the inn. He had been in there once before, and it was a great luck that he was able to get out that time. At that time, Ning Chenye and his wife broke up and he didn't have the energy to care about him. It was different now. Even standing outside the inn, Chen Luo could feel the surging evil energy, which was the accumulation of thousands of years of the inn.
There is a high probability that Ning Chenye’s wife was eaten by him.
If yin and yang were truly united, Ning Chenye's current cultivation level would surely have broken through.
The monsters in the inn and the Lingchi Fairy are different. The origin of this thing is strange, even the flower-backed turtle dare not count it. Ning Chenye ate this thing, and his strength cannot be calculated simply by the human race's transformation into a god.
"If you want to find me, come in. I have prepared wine and food for you inside."
Ning Chenye's voice came out again, and he was not fooled by Chen Luo at all. Like Chen Luo, Ning Chenye had been spying on the life-borrowing Gu on him. Both brothers were good people. Especially kind ones!
"The seafood you brought can also be used. Such a big turtle will definitely be a great tonic for you." (End of this chapter)
