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 536 Take a Risk

Class B missions can be shared with up to three people. For Shang Xuanyi, one more time injury doesn't have much impact. Anyway, the two of them are not cultivating the same path, and there will be no conflict of interest in the later stage. Maybe they can use each other in the future, so it's better to do a favor.

"This guy is quite bold. An ascender from the lower realm actually dares to kill the foreign affairs elder of our Star Gate." Shi Shang said casually while looking through the information of the mission target.

When the task was issued, it included some information about the murderer.

All this information was calculated by the Confucian scholar on the left side of the Taoist palace using bamboo slips. The bamboo slips were a top-level spiritual weapon. The fate of any disciple of the Star Sect who had attached power to them was recorded in the bamboo slips. Once someone died, the bamboo slips would feed back the information before death and leave a mark on the murderer.

"Lu Tianhe is in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. This person is able to kill Lu Tianhe, so he must have some strength."

"Without the strength, you can't complete a Class B mission. However, the vision of the ascenders is limited after all. They don't understand what it means to be a god, and can only use the power of the dead. By the way, Senior Brother, what is the level of fusion of the spiritual weapon you obtained before?"

The two looked through the mission information, drinking and chatting.

Half a day later, another person joined.

Shang Xuanyi made a small profit again, earning the difference between the tasks. It was a special treatment for a hall-guarding disciple like him, and it was also a reward for this position in the sect.

"Killing Lu Tianhe, who was in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, from the results, this person's strength is at least in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, and it is possible that he is in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. In a place like the lower realm, being able to cultivate to the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm is truly extraordinary."

The third person to accept the task was a woman named Zhu Yan.

Her strength is the same as Shang Xuanyi and Zhu Yan, both of them are earth-born gods, and they also have a spiritual weapon.

"He's a talented person, but he's on the wrong path."

Shang Xuanyi swept away his previous decadence, and his entire spirit and energy were raised to the peak. He was the strongest among the three, and had already touched the threshold of the late stage of transformation. His own "spirit" had been condensed to the limit and began to merge with the spiritual energy.

"The Spiritual Transformation Realm is different from the previous realms. Without 'refining the Spirit', it will be useless no matter how much 'Qi' you absorb."

Shang Xuanyi threw the gourd in his hand, and several people stepped on the gourd and flew towards the Ziqing star field according to the mark on the task.

"The casual cultivators have no fundamental plan and do not know what is the spirit refining. They still treat the spirit transformation realm as the previous realm. Even if such people are at a higher realm than us, their strength is not much stronger. They are destined to never achieve the great way and will never have the chance to return to the void."

"Return to the Void"

When it comes to returning to the void, both Zhu Yan and Shi Shang couldn't help but reveal a look of fascination.

The competition within Dao Sect was fierce, and the three of them could only be considered mid-level among the more than 30 true disciples of the Star Sect. The truly powerful core true disciples had already cultivated their own "gods", broke through to the late stage of transformation, and began to comprehend the mysterious and unparalleled return to the void realm.

The three of them have fallen behind at this stage. Even if they break through in the future, they can only compete for the position of elder.

Cultivating immortals is like climbing a mountain, with people falling down at every step.

"It's a pity that this person has such a low talent. If Lu Tianhe hadn't been killed, he might have had a chance to join our Star Gate."

"What this world lacks the least is genius."

Shang Xuanyi said lightly.

Among the three, he had practiced for the longest time, and was full of vigor and vitality at his peak, not as unkempt as he is now. It was just that time was merciless and smoothed his edges.

"Once I kill this man, I will have earned enough merits. Then I can go back to the mountain to meditate and comprehend the way of spiritual cultivation."

"Refine your spirit, refine your spirit, after all, you still have to start with your own mind."

When it comes to refining the spirit, Shi Shang and Zhu Yan also fell silent.

Aren't they working so hard to earn merit just to gain a glimmer of hope of "returning to the void" from within the sect?

Like the sect's ancestor, reincarnate and live forever, free and easy.

The gourd slid silently into the distance and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

Shan Tao escaped very quickly.

By the time the people from Ziqingxing's Star Gate reacted, he had already escaped from Baishi City and hid in a remote valley.

Chen Luo and the flower-backed turtle came with him.

"Bad! Very bad!"

The flower-backed turtle was walking back and forth in the mountains.

Ever since Chen Luo killed Lu Changhe and returned, the flower-backed turtle had sensed danger. This danger had no source, but was vaguely pointing to a place deep in the sea of ​​stars. It seemed that there was an almighty power on the other side, disrupting the secrets of heaven, making it hard for him to calculate clearly.

"Senior, you and Senior Turtle go first, I will cover your retreat!"

Shan Tao said enthusiastically.

He had been prepared from the moment he was marked, and being able to die for his 'predecessors' was his greatest wish in life.

Isn’t this the moment we have been practicing for our entire life?

Weird thoughts kept recurring in Shan Tao's mind, but he didn't find it strange at all. If it were in the past, he would have run away long ago, and wouldn't have cared about the lives of others.

The brainwashing function of the reverse possession method has become more and more exaggerated over time.

Fundamentally replaces a person's 'way of thinking'.

"Even if we separate?"

Chen Luo looked at the flower-backed turtle.

The turtle clan is the best at saving their lives. Chen Luo had already thought of a backup plan before killing someone, and the flower-backed turtle was one of them.

"no."

Flower-backed turtle immediately shook his head. He had thought of this plan a long time ago. In his opinion, Shan Tao was a die-hard fan of Chen Luo anyway, so this kind of person was the best choice to cover the retreat.

Unfortunately, the divination results told him that even if Shan Tao died, the matter would not end.

Even if you can’t figure out the source, you can still figure it out yourself.

There are treasures at the Star Gate that can lock onto the murderer's breath. Although Chen Luo hid behind Shan Tao, he couldn't escape that breath. The water at Dao Sect's Immortal Gate was deeper than Chen Luo expected, and there was no way to cut it off even if he killed someone or buried a body. In this way, he had to be extra careful when walking in the upper realm in the future, and he couldn't be as casual as in the lower realm.

"That can't be helped."

Chen Luo sighed.

He originally just wanted to practice quietly and develop slowly using the 'Reverse Possession Method', but these people didn't give him a chance. They always tried to monopolize the market, and the independent cultivators were like wild dogs in front of them. If they were happy, they would throw a few bones to him, and if they were unhappy, they would kick him away.

The real core inheritance is locked up tightly.

It can be seen from Shan Tao that a few inheritances of the Spirit Transformation Realm made him very excited, and Return to the Void?

I have never heard of it in the casual cultivator circle. Even if someone is lucky enough to achieve the Great Dao of Returning to the Void, they will quickly rise and become another circle. The blockade of the original circle will be more severe than that of the Dao Sect and the Immortal Clan.

Master Chen, who is devoted to cultivating immortality, naturally does not want to be a stray dog.

So he killed Lu Tianhe, obtained some skills that he shouldn't have seen with his identity, and touched the core of interests.

"It's difficult to cultivate immortality."

Chen Luo sighed, and the flower-backed turtle next to him remained silent.

Not only is the world of immortal cultivation difficult, the world of demons is equally difficult. If the demon race wants to break the upper limit of races, the best way is marriage. Weak races marry powerful demons to strengthen their own foundation and use time to close the gap.

The fox clan is the most typical example.

"What are you going to do?" the flower-backed turtle couldn't help but ask.

According to his divination, this time was extremely dangerous, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a life-or-death situation. Judging from the strength Chen Luo had shown so far, he really couldn't find any hope of winning.

"We can only take some risks."

Chen Luo took out the materials he had obtained from Lu Tianhe's cave a while ago, selected some usable materials from them, and put them into various corners. Flower-backed turtle and Shan Tao didn't know what he was doing, they just watched Chen Luo constantly changing positions.

Half an hour later, a thick fog suddenly rose in the valley.

The eyes of the flower-backed turtle standing in the middle lit up.

"Array?"

He then remembered that Chen Luo had led him through the formation when he was in the demon world. From this point, it can be seen that Chen Luo's attainments in formations are very high.

"What level of formation?"

"Level 4."

After completing the formation arrangement, Chen Luo returned to the formation and responded casually.

"Only level four?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the flower-backed tortoise. The formation master is very strong and can cross the border to kill the enemy, but this premise is that he has a high-level powerful killing formation in his hands. The enemy from the Star Gate is obviously not only level 4, facing the strong man in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The fourth-level formation is inevitably not enough. The Taoist disciples must have means to deal with the formation.

"senior."

"Move your feet." Before Shan Tao could speak, his voice was interrupted by Chen Luo.

He instinctively moved away and saw Chen Luo reaching out to take out a thick stack of talismans from the gourd and burying them underground. If it weren't for the spiritual power flowing on it, the flower-backed turtle would have thought he was seeing things and that Chen Luo was burying toilet paper.

"Where did you get so many talismans?"

“Drawing.”

"Can you draw talismans?"

The flower-backed tortoise's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and the look he gave Chen Luo gradually changed. The most amazing thing was that the result of his divination was also slowly changing.

After burying the talisman, Chen Luo inserted a soul flag in the middle of the formation.

The twisting ghosts above were extremely ferocious. The flower-backed turtle saw several powerful evil spirits above, among which an old man with white beard was the most ferocious.

After inserting the soul flag, Chen Luo began to release poison, curse, talisman, and even buried a few corpses. Since his cultivation, Chen Luo had no idea how many treasure houses he had robbed. He had so many things on him that he couldn't even remember them all. Apart from the things he gave away, he didn't know how many were piled up in the cave gourd.

The huge valley, an area covered by the formation, changed color little by little under Chen Luo's transformation. Chaotic and sinister forces were mixed in it, and every step was murderous.

"besides?"

The flower-backed turtle's eyes subconsciously fell on the gourd on Chen Luo's waist. He was very curious about how big this gourd was and how it could hold so many things.

"Almost."

Chen Luo sighed and took out the last chessboard. Worried, he put the gourd in his other hand.

There are still too few means. (End of this chapter)
