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 525 Where are the roots?

"I think you have too much free time."

A voice came from the mountain. Ao Ye was startled when he heard the voice. He immediately turned around and looked up the mountain. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that only one person came down.

"Sister, why did you come down? Just let me know if there's anything."

Mu Xiaoyu looked at Ao Ye with disdain, ignored him, and turned his gaze to the three people behind him.

"Senior Sister Mu."

Du Qiuxian immediately bowed and greeted him. The seven new disciples beside him also bowed their heads and greeted him. Two of the brave ones couldn't help but take a second look at Mu Xiaoyu. This fairy was wearing a plain long dress that fluttered without the wind. She had a white sword on her back. She was surrounded by aura. Just by looking at her, she felt as if she was attacked by the sword energy. Tears couldn't help but flow from her eyes.

True man of Jindan!

This is the power of heaven and earth's vital energy that only a Jindan Zhenren can call upon.

After realizing Mu Xiaoyu's realm, the group of disciples were even more awed. Before coming to Qionghua Sect, the strongest person they had seen was a foundation-building cultivator. Some of them had never even seen a foundation-building cultivator until the Qionghua Sect assessment.

Most of these disciples come from Qi-refining families, and they are the most numerous type of people in the world of immortal cultivation.

"I'll leave these seven people to you. Please come with me, Qiuxian."

Mu Xiaoyu glanced at the seven new disciples behind Du Qiuxian and handed the task to Ao Ye. After that, regardless of Du Qiuxian's reaction, he grabbed his arm, and his spiritual energy surged, turning into a stream of light and disappearing on the steps.

Du Qiuxian felt dizzy, and when the scene returned to normal, he found himself at the top of the mountain.

Ancient temple made of blue bricks.

Chen Luo, dressed in green, stood in front of the hall with one hand behind his back, like an immortal walking out of a painting.

"Master, the person has been brought here."

After Mu Xiaoyu landed, he bowed to Chen Luo in front of him in response.

"Uncle Master!"

Du Qiuxian also quickly came back to his senses and saluted with Mu Xiaoyu. As far as he could remember, he had not seen his uncle Chen Luo for almost ten years. After subduing Master Whale, Chen Luo began to retreat, and the last time he appeared on the mountain was ten years ago.

Today, the Qionghua Sect is at its peak. Everyone knows the name of the Taoist Changsheng, but very few have actually seen him.

"Get ready and accompany me back to my hometown."

Retracting his thoughts, Chen Luo's gaze fell on Du Qiuxian.

The only offspring of the eldest senior brother Du De lived up to his father's wish of seeking immortality. His foundation was very solid. If nothing unexpected happened, he would at least be a Jindan Zhenren in the future. As for whether he could condense an infant, it depended on his luck. As an elder, he couldn't take Du Qiuxian with him to practice, as that would only harm him.

Everyone's path is different. If you want to go far, you must walk your own "path". Chen Luo also said this to Mu Xiaoyu and the others.

You can learn from him, but you can't imitate him.

Otherwise, it will never be possible to break through the golden elixir.

"hometown?"

Du Qiuxian was stunned for a moment. He hadn't been back to his hometown for a long time. Heishan Village was located in a very remote area. The villagers were all ordinary people. When Chen Luo became famous in the Seven Kingdoms area, Heishan Village also prospered for a while. Later, Chen Luo left the Seven Kingdoms area and joined the Qionghua Sect. After that, there was no news. It has been almost a hundred years since then. In a hundred years for ordinary people, three generations will have passed, and naturally no one will remember Chen Luo.

Many people in the world of immortal cultivation know Chen Luo, but for the group of immortal cultivators in the Seven Kingdoms region who are mainly in the Qi Refining stage, the God Transformation Ancestor is too far away from them and is not as intimidating as the Foundation Establishment cultivators who are nearby.

"Let's go."

Chen Luo did not explain, but waved his hand. A cloud rose from his feet, and the clear white clouds carried the three people out of Qionghua Sect.

This is another way to use the "True Method". Converting spiritual power into the required attributes, so as to change the form and fly in the clouds. During the thirty years of seclusion, Chen Luo's application of the True Method has reached its peak, and there will be no situation where "the brain knows but the hands don't".

Mu Xiaoyu and Du Qiuxian were extremely envious of this move.

They all knew how to fly with a sword, and flying with air was no secret, but this method of driving the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and riding the clouds was beyond their comprehension. Standing on the clouds was like a physical magic weapon, but there was clearly nothing here before.

"This is already a method used by immortals."

The same thought came to both of their minds at the same time.

Black Mountain Village.

Wilderness, old graves, and setting sun.

The withered weeds swayed in the autumn wind. Chen Luo, dressed in a green shirt, stood in front of the tomb, looking at the name on the tombstone. He was in a trance. He couldn't help but recall the scene when the seven of them left the Yue Tomb. At that time, the seven of them were full of yearning for the outside world of cultivation.

As time passed, he was the only one left in the same place.

The cold wind blows, and the clothes flutter.

"Uncle Master?"

After a long time, Du Qiuxian flew over from a distance.

The three of them arrived yesterday. After paying respects to their parents, Du Qiuxian and Mu Xiaoyu left, leaving Chen Luo alone. I thought he wouldn't stay too long, but he stayed for the whole day. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Did your father ever tell you that we were not originally from the Tiannan Region?"

Chen Luo still looked at the tombstone in front of him, his thoughts seemed to have flown far away. He brought him back this time just to go back to Yue. Du Qiuxian was different from their generation. He had been in Tiannan Territory since he was born and didn't know what the Land of Absolute Spirits was. For him, Tiannan Territory was his home. So Chen Luo wanted to take him back to see where their roots were. Calculating the time, Du Jian and Xie Shuang who stayed in Yue didn't have much time left. As old friends, Chen Luo planned to go back and see them again before they left.

"I know a little bit, but my father didn't tell me where my hometown is exactly."

Du Qiuxian shook his head. In his opinion, hometown is nothing more than another place. For example, the evil cultivation place, or the sea area, so when Chen Luo mentioned this matter, he was not surprised.

Immortal practitioners come from all over the world. Second senior brother Ao Ye is the son of a dragon in the sea. Isn’t he also in the Qionghua Sect?

"Do you want to go back and take a look?"

Chen Luo turned around and looked at Du Qiuxian behind him.

"think."

Du Qiuxian hesitated for a moment, and suddenly his father's dying look flashed through his mind, and he nodded in response.

A smile appeared on Chen Luo's face.

After assigning some tasks to Mu Xiaoyu, Chen Luo brought Du Qiuxian to the node of the former teleportation array. After many years, the area around the array has become more desolate. After the displacement of the array node, the teleportation array has long been scrapped. In the past, Chen Luo had no way to do it, but now he has the power of transformation, and with the newly acquired brains of more than 30 Changqing brothers, it is easy to find the node.

The light flickered, and the cross-domain teleportation array lit up again

Yue State.

When he returned to his hometown again, Chen Luo saw something different.

Under the perception of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he saw many things that he had not seen before, the most conspicuous of which was the prohibition. The sky of the entire Yue Kingdom was shrouded by prohibitions. These prohibitions did not exist independently, but were part of the tomb. It can be said that the Yue Kingdom itself was in the tomb, and it was no different from the wild land where the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua had transcended the tribulation before.

The only difference is that there are some things in Yue State that are not available in the wild land, such as the method of cultivating immortals!

"Is this the masterpiece of Baixiandong?"

Chen Luo stretched out his index finger and picked up a restriction. He clearly felt that the restriction had lost its effect. All the restrictions surrounding Yue State had lost their effect. He was like a hole in a net. Thinking of the cross-regional teleportation array in the tomb, Chen Luo felt that this guess was correct.

"Why is the spiritual energy here so thin?"

Du Qiuxian looked around and tried to practice his skills, but found that the spiritual energy in this place was pitifully thin. With his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, he could only absorb a small amount. This amount of spiritual energy was simply not enough to sustain his cultivation.

"Not everyone is born with access to spiritual energy. The impoverished Black Mountain Village where you are now is a sacred place for immortals that your father fought hard to reach after escaping death."

Chen Luo walked in front and told Du Qiuxian the story of that year.

Some things can be forgotten, some things cannot be forgotten.

What is forgotten is called the past, and what is recorded is called inheritance.

The overgrown weeds automatically dispersed as he approached. The "robber's hole" he had dug was now surrounded by weeds, rotten grass roots and damp dust covered the entire tomb, and even the sarcophagus next to it showed signs of weathering.

No one has been here for a long time.

Leaving the tomb, the two returned to the outside world.

As the sun shone down, Du Qiuxian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His cultivation was too low to see the secrets in the tomb clearly, and he just thought it was still in some ruins in the Tiannan region. Chen Luo didn't give him any extra explanation. No one except him could activate the inter-regional teleportation array, so even if Du Qiuxian knew it, it wouldn't affect him.

With Chen Luo's current strength, he is not afraid of others knowing.

Flying in the sky, with Chen Luo's current cultivation level, it only took a moment for him to appear above the Yue Kingdom's imperial city with Du Qiuxian.

Looking down, all living beings are like ants.

A court meeting was going on in the capital, and the young emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, looking very high-spirited.

It was a strange face. The emperor who had conferred the title on Chen Luo had long since died, and even his son had been buried in the imperial mausoleum. The one in power now was the grandson of that emperor. The status of immortal cultivators was still high. In the imperial city, Chen Luo sensed the auras of three immortal cultivators, two of whom were at the first level of Qi Refining.

In a place like Yue State, the first level of Qi Refining is the limit. This does not mean that these people are not qualified, but it is the innate limitation of Yue State. When I came back last time, someone made a fuss because of this matter, but he suppressed it. (End of this chapter)
