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...
When the incident happened in Yaoguang Star Domain, new troubles appeared in the heart of Ziqing Star Domain.
A group of barbarians that were sealed underground came out from underground. They worshipped sacrifices, used humans to practice magic, and were bloodthirsty. In just half a month, they sacrificed seven cities. The disciples of the Star Sect who were responsible for guarding these seven cities could not escape. The Kaiyang Star Lord who rushed over to support was severely injured by the barbarian elder. It was only when the subordinate family's Divine Transformation cultivators joined forces that he was rescued from the barbarians.
The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable.
The chaos in the Stars Sect was only superficial, the root cause was in the Dao Palace. The actions of the three great ancestors, Sun, Moon, and Star, to refine immortal artifacts destroyed the balance between the Dao Sects and were bound to cause dissatisfaction among other equal forces. No one wanted to see the Stars Sect refine immortal artifacts.
Even if the possibility is only one in ten thousand, these people are unwilling to gamble.
In the black wasteland, barbarians poured out like a tide.
The barbarians' method of cultivation is different from the mainstream in the world of immortal cultivation. They mainly practice totem soul methods and are good at refining insects.
"What our ancestors lost, we will take back."
"Revenge begins from now on!"
The chief barbarian elder held a bone staff and made a bewitching sound. A large number of barbarians followed him and began to spread outward like a tide.
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!!"
Lord Kaiyang stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the barbarian troops spreading towards him like locusts, and couldn't help feeling powerless.
"Retreat, we can't stop them."
There are people behind the barbarians!
All the chaos is just a superficial act, in order to force the three ancestors of the Sun, Moon and Stars out of the Taoist Palace.
When he was fighting with the Great Barbarian Elder before, he was attacked from behind and was seriously injured. He almost died at the hands of the Great Barbarian Elder.
"Where's the Snake Lord?"
The head of the affiliated family who rescued Kaiyang Star Lord couldn't help but ask. The lives and fortunes of these vassal families were all tied to the Star Gate. If the Star Gate fell, none of them would be able to escape.
After thousands of years of development, they have long been indistinguishable from each other.
"Master is stuck with other things."
A trace of fatigue flashed in the eyes of Kaiyang Star Lord. He had sent out a distress signal as soon as the Barbarians changed. Unfortunately, Snake Lord also encountered trouble. It was said that Tianshu Star Lord had gone crazy.
boom!!
A swarm of black insects fell from the sky, and a light lit up above the city, and the two collided violently.
The formation blockade of Yaoguang Star lasted for seven days, and no one was allowed to enter but not leave.
Chen Luo was like a normal person, eating and drinking as usual. He also led other disciples of the Star Gate to hunt for the "murderer" when he had the chance. His life was quite comfortable.
The Star Lord Yuheng is very busy.
He was temporarily ordered to take over the Yaoguang Star Region, and he was extremely anxious. The Star Lord of Tianshu, who was taken back by the Snake Lord, was locked up in the Dao Palace by the three great ancestors of Sun, Moon and Star. Even the three ancestors could not cure his injuries. According to the examination by the Great Ancestor Haori, it was found that the Star Lord of Tianshu was not injured, and both his body and soul were intact.
“It doesn’t look like it was caused by magical powers.”
The extra consciousness in the body of Tianshu Star Lord is also Tianshu Star Lord.
Two lives.
Two lines of destiny!
This is what puzzles the three ancestors the most.
How can a person have two fates? How can he have an extra life out of thin air? At the level of the three great ancestors, they have studied reincarnation and dreaming. No matter which kind of power it is, it is ultimately a means of using supernatural powers. As long as the root cause is found, it can be solved.
But the troubles faced by Tianshu Star Lord are different.
Its two 'roots' are both complete. From birth to practice, every 'node' is real.
Both lives belong to him.
This is the tricky part.
Because no matter which consciousness they eliminate, the life of Tianshu Star Lord will be cut off.
"To add a life to a person out of thin air, what kind of trick is this?"
Patriarch Hao Ri looked at the Tianshu Star Lord kneeling respectfully on the ground below, and felt that things had become extremely difficult. The middle-aged Confucian scholar and the female cultivator next to him were also recalling the methods of other Taoist sects and immortal clans, but no matter which one they were, they didn't match up in their opinion.
They had never heard of the method of writing one's own destiny.
The only thing I have contact with is "luck". There is a lucky fox demon in the demon tribe. It is said that she ascended the throne not long ago. The demon king who married her suddenly became possessed and died suddenly. Before he died, he gave all his cultivation to the fox demon. The process was even more exaggerated than the legend in the market.
The three ancestors of the Sun, Moon and Stars have never paid attention to the real situation.
The Star Gate and the demon race were separated by a great distance, and there was no interaction between them. It was normal for them to not care about them.
"No matter which family it is, they all represent trouble! Silent Valley is just the first one to show up, and there must be others behind it. Enemies hiding in the dark are the most difficult to deal with." The female cultivator stroked the hairpin in her hand with her fingers, her tone a little cold.
Refining the immortal weapon was the plan of Haori Patriarch, and the two of them were also beneficiaries. Now someone tried to intercept the plan, which in her opinion was blocking her path!
If you try to stop someone from achieving enlightenment, you will never stop until you die.
"Let everyone else come back and let go of the forces outside. As long as we survive, we won't lose these places."
The Star Gate controls seven star regions and four main stars.
The Taoist Palace is located in the middle of the four main stars. It is the heart of the Star Gate and the place where the three ancestors of the Sun, Moon and Stars practice.
"good."
The middle-aged Confucian scholar nodded and stretched out his hand to carve on the bamboo slips.
Soon the information was passed on and flew to various star regions.
Another half month.
The Lord of Yuheng Star who was stationed in Yaoguang Palace suddenly left, and with him left more than a dozen upper-class families. These people were the top families in Yaoguang Star Domain, and the group closest to the Qunxing Gate.
As these people left, the Yaoguang Star Domain suddenly became empty.
The blockade formation outside also disappeared.
"All the people from the Star Sect ran away? You were arranged to be the guardian elder of this place?!" In the restaurant, Chen Luo, wearing the identity card of a disciple from the Star Sect, was arranged to be the temporary person in charge of the Yaoguang Star Domain.
In the early stage of transformation, a true disciple!
This is just right to appease the people below. In this context, no one will care about some identity issues.
It's a discarded pawn anyway.
Life or death doesn't matter.
“I didn’t expect that.”
Chen Luo's right hand fingers kept turning over, and the puppeteer's brain was called upon by him to familiarize himself with the process. A palm-sized wooden man on the table stretched his body vividly, and the movement of each joint was just right.
Flower-backed turtles are no longer uncommon.
At the beginning, he was surprised and asked Chen Luo why he knew how to form formations, make pills, make talismans, and refine souls. Later, as time went by, he gradually got used to it. Now that there is an additional puppet technique, there is nothing to be surprised about.
"How could such a thing exist in this world! They put up a wanted warrant for you and arranged for you to be the guardian elder. These people from the Star Gate must have gone crazy from practicing too much."
"The wanted one is an Ascendant from the Netherworld. What does that have to do with me?"
Chen Luo responded expressionlessly. The wanted notice of the Star Gate was a joke. Their identity and aura were not even known. They wanted a lower realm ascender out of thin air. What else could it be but a joke?
As he was speaking, the five fingers in his hand suddenly paused and his brows frowned slightly.
The flower-backed tortoise next to him also sensed the presence and turned his gaze towards the staircase. After a while, footsteps were heard from the staircase.
"Elder Chen, the head of the Li family is holding a birthday party and would like to invite you to come."
A servant in green clothes ran in from downstairs. After seeing Chen Luo and the flower-backed turtle, he immediately bent over and smiled flatteringly.
Lijia is a medium-sized family on Yaoguang Star.
The power was not weak, but it was not the top one either. When the Yuheng Star Lord left, he took away more than a dozen of the top families in the Yaoguang Star Region, including the two families with human race gods. The sudden departure of so many people naturally caused great panic. Fortunately, Chen Luo, the guardian elder of the "Star Gate", was still there and maintained basic order.
Afterwards, some medium-sized families that failed to get close to the Lord of Yuheng Star began to actively approach Chen Luo.
This leaving home is the most positive one among them.
"Tonight? I see."
Chen Luo waved his hand and the gift from the servant fell lightly onto the table.
Seeing this, the servant immediately retreated.
These people were all low-level Qi-refining masters who depended on the Li Family, just like big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimp. In the eyes of the Yuheng Star Lord of the Star Gate, the Li Family was just a medium-sized family that didn't even have the qualifications to leave with him, but in the eyes of these low-level casual cultivators, the Li Family was a giant. In the market they usually went to, all the flints used for refining were monopolized by the Li Family. After more than a dozen families followed the Yuheng Star Lord and left, the Li Family went a step further and began to take over the business related to elixirs. In the eyes of these casual cultivators, the Li Family had taken a step forward and was about to soar to the sky.
The same thing, from different perspectives, will give different answers.
Chen Luo knew very well how he felt about leaving home.
He, like the Li Family and other medium-sized families, was an abandoned child by the Star Gate. The Li Family's head came over at this time, just to keep warm and find a way out.
"You're going to do something like this?"
"Of course I will go."
Chen Luo put away the wooden puppet on the table and looked out the window.
Lijia wanted to use his influence, and he also planned to use Lijia's network of connections. Chen Luo was ready to help take over the vacuum left by the Star Gate. The Evergreen Sect had been dormant for so long, it was time to take a step forward.
After this storm is over, if the people from Star Gate want to come back, they will have to ask for his opinion.
night.
The lights are on.
The Li family decorated the venue very luxuriously, with white jade and golden tables and chairs, and even the palace lanterns on the wall, which were all magical instruments made by weapon refiners. There were also dancers from the Huanhua Sect who specialized in dance music performing in the venue, and more than 30 heads of small and medium-sized families gathered here to toast and exchange cups, making it very lively.
The so-called birthday is just an excuse.
The Lijia family is a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, who has lived for more than 700 years and has long since passed his birthday. This birthday banquet is just an excuse. Not only him, but also the more than 30 small sects and factions around him want to take this opportunity to test the attitude of the Cloud Star Sect. (End of this chapter)
