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...
A few days later.
Chen Luo returned to Danhuo Palace to say goodbye to Du Jian. After giving him some elixirs, he took Du Qiuxian back to the world of immortal cultivation.
This trip to Yue State fulfilled the wish of the senior brother Du De and also made him bid farewell to his hometown of Yue State. The only regret was that the senior Wang Chengguan was too stingy and did not continue to give him the mark.
After returning to the Qionghua Sect, Chen Luo assigned some tasks to Du Qiuxian and Mu Xiaoyu, and then asked them to go out and travel.
He himself left the Qionghua Sect and began to travel.
The Tiannan region is very large.
In addition to the evil cultivation areas and sea areas that Chen Luo had visited, there were also wastelands, snowy areas, and even deep sea areas farther away. These places all had their own forces and their own heritage. Chen Luo walked through these places, and when he came across a special place, he would stay for a while, from three to five days to several years. In this way, he walked and stopped, and he saw many scenes that he had never seen in books before, and experienced many different lives.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all part of life.
He once practiced at dusk on the grassland and once sat on the ice rocks of the snow-capped mountains to greet the sunrise.
He had experienced the injustices of the world and had a taste of the dream of wealth and honor. He discussed Buddhism with ascetic monks and played chess with mountain Taoists. Every place he went, he left a legend. Gradually, there were more and more legends about the "Eternal Taoist". Even in the secular notes, there were records about him. Some scholars wrote him into Liao Zhai, and some monks recorded him in Buddhist scriptures.
He is an ordinary person, a saint, a Buddha, an immortal, and also a devil.
Fifty years passed like this.
In the past fifty years, Chen Luo has found more than 300 "genius brains" all over the world, and the number of external brains has reached 800. These 300 external brains added later may not have high cultivation, but each of them has its own special shining points.
Returning to Tiannan Region again, Chen Luo saw the Qionghua Sect which looked like a holy land of immortals.
After disappearing for fifty years, the Qionghua Sect has become even larger.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can see the glow of the mountain. Countless cultivators are flying through the clouds between the mountains, and immortal birds are flying, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
"I'm back"
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Chen Luo's body began to change. A stream of light flashed by, and the wind, frost and dust on his body gradually dissipated. When he landed again, he had returned to the top of Taixu Peak. He once again became the Taoist immortal with long fluttering robes.
"Master!"
"metropolitan."
Chen Luo's return instantly alarmed the entire Qionghua Sect. Countless people gathered around him, and many young disciples looked at him with admiration.
The Taoist Immortality who suppresses the world alone.
It is just a legend to these later disciples.
Chen Luo stayed in the mountain for three days, during which he instructed many people, gave a lecture, and dealt with matters in the sect. He then returned to Taixu Peak, and answered questions about cultivation from Mu Xiaoyu, Ao Ye, and others before he began his retreat.
The first round of retreat was to digest the power left in the body by the divine calamity. This time, Chen Luo planned to sort out his own path and find his own "Tao".
The practice after the Spiritual Transformation Realm is different from the previous four realms. From Qi Refining to Nascent Soul, these four realms are all about absorbing the external heaven and earth energy, which is considered "refining qi". Starting from the Spiritual Transformation Realm, the step of "refining qi" is considered complete, and the practice enters the second realm. The main practice of this realm is "spirit". The characteristics of "spirit" determine the direction of practice. For example, the previous law of Fairy Lingchi is "killing", so the practice should focus on killing. If it is a law related to "desire" and "jealousy", the practice content will also move towards this direction.
On the contrary, the paths of cultivation for the types of law such as "kindness", "universal love" and "enlightenment" will be relatively righteous. This is also the reason why the world of immortal cultivation is divided into the two paths of good and evil. These are not acquired after birth. Those who can cultivate to the state of transformation are all thousand-year-old monsters. Such people are simply not willing to risk their lives for some low-level interests. The only thing worth their lives is their own path.
"If we have different beliefs, we cannot work together." This also applies to the world of cultivating immortals.
Some "kinds of Dharma" are inherently conflicting.
Chen Luo's "Dharma type" is very special.
Three phase.
This kind of Dharma has never appeared before. It covers three directions, each with its own characteristics. How to practice it specifically and whether you will go the wrong way, all these need Chen Luo to explore by himself.
The purpose of his retreat this time was to avoid mistakes.
Only when you find the right path can you practice with confidence, otherwise even five thousand years of life will not be enough. The sixth-level demon in the demon world, the reincarnated Wuwei Zhenren, and Ning Chenye in the Inn of This Life, they are all geniuses who have shined in their own era, but they still failed to become immortals and are still wandering on the road of cultivating immortals.
Trial and error.
Once you take the wrong path to immortality, it will be a lifetime mistake.
Chen Luo didn't have the skills to reach the God Transformation Realm, but he had Brother Changqing! The greatest significance of Brother Changqing was to help Chen Luo find the right path. This was the guidance that all immortal cultivators dreamed of, a path that led directly to immortality.
“Three directions.”
Chen Luo mobilized all the more than 800 external brains. This time, in order to avoid being disturbed by the outside world, he also set up a fourth-level formation outside the mountain. He also superimposed several formation patterns inside. He also handed over the trivial matters of the sect to Yu Junyao, Xiong Linshan and others.
Without any external interference, Chen Luo concentrated all the brain waves of his eight hundred external brains on Brother Changqing, putting himself into a state of the living dead, and began to concentrate on calculating the path after becoming a god.
Click
The heavy stone door closed, and Chen Luo's breath disappeared into the mountains again.
Qionghua Sect entered a rare period of peace. The sect flourished and resources from all over the world were gathered here, whether it was spiritual materials or talents. This kind of development made Qionghua Sect more and more dominant. Even many Nascent Soul cultivators from the upper realm were squeezed into the sea by Qionghua Sect and dared not set foot in the place where Qionghua Sect was.
The flower-backed turtle was also sleeping.
After arriving in the Tiannan Region, he lost control of his habits and was forced to survive many tribulations. After digesting the tribulation power, he was greatly improved, and there were signs of a breakthrough. There was still no change in the Dragon Tomb. The Taixu Patriarch Gu He was still in the heart demon tribulation and had not returned yet. Chen Luo also went to see the remaining four people twice, and none of them showed any signs of waking up.
And so, another three hundred years passed.
Southern region.
Three hundred years have passed, and the world of immortal cultivation has changed several generations. In addition to the Jindan Zhenren who lived for thousands of years, the cultivators of the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages have changed several times. Under the erosion of time, the old ones gradually faded away, and new geniuses rose.
Seven countries region.
The place where the Shenhu Xianmen was once located has long been abandoned. After losing the spiritual vein, this place has become a wasteland and no one cares about it.
The autumn wind was howling, and the dry grass in the mountains swayed like waves, making a rustling sound.
A stream of light fell from the sky and landed on the mountain.
A female cultivator in a yellow dress came to the top of the mountain, with a small white squirrel standing on her shoulder. The female cultivator stepped on the gravel and walked to the side of the abandoned building. This used to be the main hall of the Shenhu Xianmen Daofeng. Later, the Shenhu Xianmen was robbed and this place was abandoned. Today, the main hall has long been in ruins, the house has collapsed, and weeds have grown everywhere. Some thick thorny plants penetrated the wall, and snakes, insects, rats and ants were active inside.
“Three hundred years.”
The female cultivator reached out and stroked a stone in front of her, the cold wind blowing her long hair. Although her face remained the same, her aura was no longer young, and her expression was surrounded by a sense of old age.
Anti-aging pills cannot prolong life.
This woman was none other than Huang Ying, the junior sister who used to resell talismans with Chen Luo.
Huang Ying's aptitude was average, with a medium level of four spiritual roots. She couldn't even enter the mountain gate of the Qionghua Sect today. Even when she was building her foundation, she relied on the foundation-building pill given by Chen Luo to break through. For hundreds of years afterwards, Huang Ying was always in the foundation-building stage. She had obtained magical instruments of the Jindan stage and also those of the Yuanying stage. But these things were just external forces. What really affected one's lifespan was cultivation.
Huang Ying tried to form a pill.
But failed.
External force is just external force after all. From foundation building to pill forming is a threshold that has stumped countless people, and Huang Ying is just one of them.
"This was where my senior brother and I used to set up our stall."
Huang Ying walked to a piece of gravel and wiped off the dust. On the edge of the gravel, he found the words "Transmit Power" of Shenhu Xianmen. He and Chen Luo used to sell talismans here. At that time, they were both in the Qi Refining Realm.
Unlike Chen Luo, Huang Ying can neither make talismans nor refine pills.
But she relied on her senior sister and Chen Luo behind her to buy and sell things and take kickbacks to catch up with their cultivation speed. That period was the proudest time for Huang Ying. She once thought that she could catch up with the genius of her senior brother through her own efforts.
Times have changed.
Looking back again, it’s a different feeling.
Squeak
The little squirrel jumped down from Huang Ying's shoulder and pulled out a black iron token from the side.
"The sect competition order?"
Huang Ying picked up the token and stroked the mottled marks on it.
She still remembered that when he was in the Qi Refining Stage, his senior brother refused to accept any missions. He was notorious among his peers for being afraid of death and even refused to participate in the sect competition. He was often ridiculed at that time, but he was just like an old man, without the temper of a young man, and would not do anything that was not beneficial.
After a short pause, Huang Ying waved to call back the little squirrel and walked towards the back mountain. She remembered that direction was the back mountain cemetery, where her senior brother had lived for a long time.
Huang Ying also didn't know why she returned to Shenhu Xianmen.
Maybe I'm old and want to come back and take a look.
As a foundation-building cultivator, Huang Ying's life span has reached its limit. She doesn't know when she will die. Maybe in a year, or maybe in a day.
She originally wanted to see her senior brother for the last time.
But Chen Luo was in seclusion, and she didn't want to disturb her senior brother because of her little thing, so she left the mountain gate. After saying goodbye to Uncle Chengfeng and other old friends, she came to the old place alone. (End of this chapter)
