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 586 Going Down the Mountain

"The enemy is chasing us so fast that we don't have time to separate them."

The flower-backed turtle straightened its skull somewhat awkwardly and tried to piece the bones together, but it couldn't find them after searching for a long time.

"That's all?"

Chen Luo picked up a skull and pressed five fingers on it.

'I have come into contact with the brain waves of a dead person. The damage is 99%. Do you want to read it?'

A familiar scene appeared, which made Chen Luo, who had not started working since coming to the upper realm, smile slightly.

This is the correct way to cultivate immortality.

These sects in the upper realm are too narrow-minded. They don't allow their descendants to worship their ancestors. They have no sense of public morality. After entering the Return to Void Realm, Chen Luo decided to study "archaeology" and break this bad habit no matter what.

Of the twenty-two skulls, only nineteen were useful.

As for the remaining three, it was not known whether they were too damaged or too much time had passed, so no brain waves could be read from them.

"That's all. These are what we dug out after risking our lives. Ding Jian was seriously injured, and Yuwen Ling's magical weapon was also destroyed." The flower-backed turtle began to tell Chen Luo about their experience of digging the grave this time.

The Star Gate is indeed in chaos now, but the management is stricter than before.

Any disturbance might attract one of the three ancestors of the Sun, Moon and Stars. The three of them were lucky and did not run into Venerable Fanxu, but were discovered by the clansmen of Patriarch Haori. The five great gods of the three clans almost blew up his turtle shell.

If they had not been lucky enough to encounter the invasion of Silent Valley, they would still be fleeing in the territory of Star Gate and would not dare to come to the Ancient God Sect at all.

"It's good that everyone is okay. I'll make up for the minor losses later."

As an all-round cultivator who is proficient in elixirs, talismans, weapons, and formations, Chen Luo has the confidence to do so. Especially with the appearance of Ouyang Lian's brain, Chen Luo has mastered the method of refining spiritual weapons. As long as the materials are sufficient, he will have no shortage of spiritual weapons. This is something that most cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation cannot compare to.

"It's still too dangerous. It's not worth it to go through so much effort and only dig out such a small amount of rubbish."

The flower-backed turtle sat down on the side and couldn't help complaining.

In his opinion, the risk and benefits of this trip were totally disproportionate. The corpses in the ancient tomb of Qunxingmen were all left by the monks who had passed away. Their birth dates were not good, and their bone strength was mediocre. Even the burial objects were cheap goods. It was a complete loss-making business.

"I am also doing good deeds. I can't bear to see these seniors buried in the tombs and never see the light of day."

Do good deeds? ?

What does this have to do with charity? Someone is sleeping peacefully in the tomb, and you dig them out for no reason. How can this be considered a charity?

The flower-backed turtle was speechless for a while. Over there, Chen Luo had already touched the skull and put the body back into the black coffin.

"As a cultivator, how can we achieve enlightenment if we don't have a clear mind? I am now at a critical juncture of breaking through. When I think of my predecessors buried deep underground, I feel uneasy. Every time I rescue a group of people, my faith in the Tao will be strengthened by 10%, and my chances of success in breaking through will be greatly increased."

After collecting the brain, Chen Luo was in a good mood. He walked over and patted the flower-backed turtle on the shoulder.

"Brother, can you understand?"

"I think I can understand."

The flower-backed turtle wanted to say that he couldn't understand, but when he thought of his elder brother's temper, he said something against his will.

"What should we do with these bones? Should we take them up the mountain to dry in the sun?"

The flower-backed turtle looked at the skeleton that Chen Luo had put back into the coffin, and followed up with the conversation. This was not the first time he had seen Chen Luo touch his head, but every time it felt a little absurd. Except for a madman who had gone astray, who would dig up a grave and touch his head?

There is most likely something wrong with my brother, and it is a very serious one.

The flower-backed turtle became more and more certain of his guess.

"Throw it into the river, it'll cool down." Chen Luo, who was analyzing the new information in his brain, replied casually.

"ah?"

Do you respect your seniors so much?

With a lot of questions in his mind, the flower-backed turtle picked up the black coffin again. This time he didn't walk far. He walked directly to the pond beside and threw the coffin in.

Coo coo coo.

A series of bubbles appeared, and the black coffin slowly sank to the bottom of the water, covered by darkness.

As soon as the nineteen brains were acquired, the number of external brains controlled by Chen Luo officially exceeded the one thousand mark, reaching one thousand and five. Among these nineteen brains, sixteen were in the state of transformation and three were in the state of returning to the void. These three returning to the void brains were all the former immortals of Baixian Cave. The Star Gate was built on the ruins of Baixian Cave, which was known to all the powerful sects in the upper realm. It was not surprising to find the returning to the void master of Baixian Cave in the ancestral tomb of the Star Gate.

When Chen Luo first arrived in the upper realm, he saw a skeleton that was locked in the Star Gate. That guy was also a cultivator from Baixian Cave.

"Bug cultivator?"

With the three brains, Chen Luo clearly felt that his perception of insect control had improved a lot. Because he had no obsession, Chen Luo was unable to find any useful information, so he casually assigned the three Return to Void brains to the insect cultivators and asked them to help train the strange insects.

Including the Peng Bird Demon Saint, this is the fourth Return to Void Realm brain he has obtained.

The quality of the external brain has once again been improved.

"Brother, what do we do next?"

After dealing with the corpse, the flower-backed tortoise walked back.

Now the Star Region was in chaos, and he, a turtle from the demon world, had to cling to the thighs to have a chance of survival. The experience of the Fate Turtle Clan told him that if he wanted to live long, besides being afraid of death, he also had to follow the right person.

Chen Luo is a person without life, this is something that Flower-backed Turtle has determined in the demon world.

It is precisely because of this that he followed Chen Luo all the way and refused to leave.

“Don’t limit your thinking. There are more chaotic sects than just the Qunxing Sect.” Chen Luo patted the Flower-backed Turtle’s shoulder and said earnestly.

"ah?"

The flower-backed turtle shuddered.

"Brother, what do you think of Silent Valley?"

Not long after.

The flower-backed turtle left the Ancient God Sect again, and Chen Luo lay dormant again, continuing to practice the "Virtual God Method". After another half a month, Chen Luo successfully mastered the second step of the Virtual God Method, "Transformation into Reality", and began to comprehend the last step, "Return to Void". His strength also unknowingly reached the peak of Transformation into God, and began to touch the power of the "Sixth Level".

Venerable Kuchai left the Ancient God Sect.

When Chen Luo cultivated the third step of the Void God Technique, he completely let go of his obsession. Before leaving, the old man gave Chen Luo a bone tablet, which recorded his understanding of the transformation of "virtuality" over the years, as well as some ideas about cultivating the "return to the virtual realm".

“Shaping legends.”

Chen Luo stroked the marks on the bone pattern and sighed.

He is different from Venerable Kuchai. Venerable Kuchai cannot leave the Ancient God Sect. Here is the sect he spent most of his life to create, and his relatives. Although he said that he would not care about Kuzhu, when it really came to this, how could he watch his brother die? The people behind Le Qingzhu should have seen through this, so they used Kuchai. Next, the Ancient God Sect should be fully involved in the dispute of the Star Gate.

This time the scope will be wider.

After walking out of the mountain gate, Chen Luo no longer concealed his aura.

As he walked, his aura gradually increased, from the Nascent Soul at the beginning, to the Spiritualization, and then to the peak of the Spiritualization, surrounded by illusion and reality. Disciples of the Ancient God Sect walked past him one by one, and none of them saw him.

Just like a phantom.

During the years that the Ancient Divine Sect had been dormant, Chen Luo's strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Under the guidance of the Venerable Kuchai, he only took a few years to reach a realm that others would take thousands of years or even reincarnate to reach. The biggest reason for this incredible speed of improvement, in addition to the inheritance of the Venerable Kuchai, is the external brain.

For others, it is penance.

For Chen Luo, it was recovery.

Stopping at the foot of the mountain, Chen Luo looked back.

The Ancient God Sect was still the same as it had been a few years ago. The disciples who were refining Qi, building foundation, and forming Dan were busy completing their tasks, completely unaware of what was happening in the upper levels. But in Chen Luo's spiritual sense, he clearly felt a sense of emptiness.

Most of the powerful people above the Divine Transformation Realm in the Ancient God Sect have left the sect.

The entire sect's upper echelons are extremely empty, and there are only a handful of powerful people who can sense it.

"It all comes to nothing."

Densely packed silk threads appeared in Chen Luo's vision, and the origin seal appeared involuntarily. He saw the spider-web-like "karma", and among these karmic laws, he found the one that belonged to him, stretched out his index finger and gently twisted it.

The Origin Seal that previously required all of one's strength to operate can now be activated with just a stretch of the hand.

Under the waterfall of the third peak.

After completing the task, Ling Dong and Zhang Xi ran back to the mountain with joy, and came to the place where Chen Luo usually practiced, but they didn't see anything. The two stopped where they were, and vaguely felt that they seemed to have forgotten something.

"Brother?"

Zhang Xi thought for a long time before he remembered his senior brother Ding Luo.

Ling Dong beside him also quickly came to his senses. The two of them searched the surroundings and found that the mountain seemed to have been abandoned for a long time and there was no sign of anyone living there. Even the huge rock where Chen Luo usually meditated was overgrown with weeds.

A strange sense of contradiction arose in the hearts of the two.

It was as if the 'Senior Brother Ding' they knew was an imaginary person.

"Brother has gone down the mountain?"

"Maybe he went on a mission."

The two of them didn't know what was going on, so they could only go down the mountain with a lot of questions in their minds. During the process, they did not forget to go to the mission hall to inquire about Chen Luo's news. Chen Luo, who sensed this scene, keenly discovered that there was another silk thread on the spider web that he had removed before.

A silk thread belonging to 'Ding Luo'.

"After all, it is not the true destiny. If it is Ge Xian's 'destiny', it can definitely completely hide its own traces and cut off everything." After the breath dissipated, Chen Luo did not stop and walked along the mountain path into the distance.

The goal of the Ancient God Sect and its entourage has been achieved.

Here he found the Return to the Void Method, and his cultivation reached the peak of the Spiritualization Realm, almost reaching the level of a sixth-order demon beast. After lying dormant for several years, it was time to take advantage of the situation.

When I went up the mountain, I was a wanted criminal running around.

When he came down the mountain, his cultivation level improved greatly, and he officially began to step into the ranks of the strong. (End of this chapter)
