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 616 Willow Spirit

The hard dirt road in the village turned into a soft cotton field in the legendary world. When you stepped on it, the road sank a little and the entire sole of your foot was covered.

After walking along the path for a while, Chen Luo stopped at the door of the seventh house.

This is where he lives in the outside world.

He was very curious whether the mountain village created by this legend would be the same as the outside world. If so, would there be an identical person like him in the house?

The wooden house was completely empty. Not to mention the secret room, even the table where the mushrooms grew inside was gone. Chen Luo turned around and walked out of the house, continuing to walk towards the source of the sound.

It was a short path, but it took him half an hour to walk.

Outside, this amount of time would be enough for him to walk back and forth in the small mountain village. But here, the distance seemed to be distorted, and the cotton-like path under his feet seemed to have no end.

Click!

The soft ground beneath his feet suddenly felt hard. Chen Luo stopped and looked down, and found that he was stepping on a white skull. The long and narrow skull was obviously not that of a human.

skull?

Chen Luo bent down and picked up the skull. The feedback he got was almost exactly the same as a real skull.

When his palm touched the top of the skull, Chen Luo suddenly had an idea.

Can this brain be used?

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

After trying it, he actually pulled out a stream of gray air from it. This situation is absolutely abnormal in the "Legendary World". Because only the soul can enter the Legendary World, the real body cannot enter. But if the real body cannot enter, how can he pick up this brain?

The obsession reflected a memory, which was when the little demon entered the village holding the treasure map.

The purpose of this little demon coming to the village is to look for treasure.

For unknown reasons, he fell into the legendary world, and his body and soul fell in together. In the end, he was trapped and died here, his body rotted and his soul withered.

"Have all those missing people entered the legendary realm?"

Chen Luo recalled the information that the black-backed pig demon at the entrance of the village and the willow spirit by the well had told him when he was asking around in the village. Outsiders often came into the village and then disappeared inexplicably. At first, Chen Luo thought that those people had entered the cemetery like the three of Flower-backed Turtle. Now it seems that this is not the case. It is estimated that a large number of these people have fallen into the world of legends.

But how are the body and the soul connected?

Putting down the skull, Chen Luo continued to move forward until he reached the end of the village before stopping. In the outside world, this is where the village well is located, and behind it is the village ancestral hall. The structure of the legendary world is the same. After Chen Luo came here, he saw the well in front of him at a glance. The difference is that there is no big willow tree beside the well.

An old man with green buds on his head and yellow bark all over his body was sitting by the well, holding a wooden stick in one hand and a bamboo tube in the other, knocking hard like a night watchman.

A crisp sound came from the bamboo tube.

The sound that Chen Luo heard before came from here.

"Fellow Daoist Liu?"

Chen Luo sensed a familiar aura from the old man with green buds. It was the old man with willow tree whom he had met before.

"In order to invite you Taoist friend to visit, I have spent a lot of effort." The old man put down the bamboo tube in his hand, looked up, revealing the withered bark on his face. This person was the willow spirit that Chen Luo had met in the outside world before.

"Sit down, sit down and talk."

The willow spirit gestured with his hand.

Then I saw a bunch of twisted tree roots suddenly appearing in the empty space next to me. These roots expanded and sprouted, and soon grew into a chair.

"Did you also pull in the little demon that died outside?"

Chen Luo stood there and suddenly asked a question.

"Plants always need some fertilizer to grow." The willow spirit did not deny it.

“Am I fertilizer too?”

"Of course not. Fellow Daoist, you are an honored guest." Seeing that Chen Luo did not approach, the Willow Spirit dissipated his magical powers, stood up and walked towards Chen Luo.

"The demon race is different from the human race. They practice in different directions and have different perceptions of the Tao."

Chen Luo's eyes flickered, and his evaluation of the willow spirit increased a few points.

Previously on the ice field, the Silver Fang King did not see through his disguise, but here, the Willow Fairy saw through his true form at a glance. This also made Chen Luo more cautious. He had not even entered the Demon Clan Holy Mountain area, but he had been discovered. If he went to the Demon Clan Holy Mountain, wouldn't it be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? It seems that defeating the Demon Clan ancestor still requires long-term planning, and at least he needs to update his transformation technique.

"As a powerful Return to Void warrior of the human race, you must have important things to do when you come to our demon race. It's a pity that your legend is not recognized by our demon race. Without the help of the 'Legendary Realm', how much of your strength can you exert?"

Chen Luo was naturally aware of this, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to come in and leave his own legend.

"I can help you solve this problem."

"Tell me about it."

Chen Luo did not refuse. His purpose of coming to the demon clan was simple. To save the flower-backed turtle and find a higher-grade brain. All of this required strong strength as a prelude, and the "Legendary Realm" was an unavoidable link.

"I need a Yanghun Pill. In return, I can help you leave your mark here."

The willow spirit looked at the Dongtian gourd on Chen Luo's waist.

He had smelled the scent of Yanghun Pill since Chen Luo entered the village. His subsequent proactive contact with Chen Luo was also paving the way for this transaction.

"good."

Chen Luo agreed to the condition without even thinking about it.

He has three Yanghun Pills on him and he also knows the recipe. If he needs it in the future, he can refine it himself. Trading them will not affect his own strength.

He did not ask the willow spirit how it sensed that he had the Yanghun Pill. This kind of long-lived monster always has some special means. Not to mention that there is only wood-attributed spiritual power in this valley. As a tree monster, the willow spirit has a unique advantage in the valley, which is unmatched by any monster.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

A smile appeared on the willow fairy's face.

Willows are yin, and the evil yin energy in the willow spirit's body has long been accumulated to the peak. If he wants to break the current state, he must "generate yang from yin". Only in this way can he go one step further and grow a new "demon wheel" in his body.

Plant monsters do not practice alchemy, but "annual rings". The number of annual rings determines the strength of their monster power.

Chen Luo flipped his hand and took out a pill.

The orange-red flames escaped from the elixir, adding a layer of color to the gray valley. The gray fog was dispelled, and the outline hidden behind the gray fog appeared. Looking up again, Chen Luo was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

As far as the eye can see, the entire sky is covered by the treetops.

This huge willow tree was like a giant umbrella, covering the entire village. When Chen Luo fell before, what he touched were the leaves of the willow tree.

After taking the Yanghun Pill, the Willow Spirit put it to his nose and sniffed it, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Good quality!

He had already prepared to leave the mountain village and go outside to find an alchemist. For a plant demon cultivator like the Willow Spirit, moving to another location would hurt his foundation. He would never take this step unless it was absolutely necessary. The appearance of Chen Luo solved this problem.

After sending out the Yanghun Pill, the willow spirit dispersed the fog in the sky.

Then he took the mark given by Chen Luo and engraved it on the well at the entrance of the village.

This well is the subject of the village legend, and the willow spirit has left his mark on it, showing its sincerity.

Complete the transaction.

Chen Luo's soul lightened, and he felt his body being pulled. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the secret room. The ground fire in the alchemy room next to him continued to emit heat energy, and the four strange insects were still eating the spiritual fruit.

bass!

Chen Luo stretched out his hand, and a ball of fire appeared in his palm.

In the Yaogu Mountain Village, there is only wood-attributed spiritual power, and other spiritual powers cannot be used here. The spiritual fire that Chen Luo summoned was extracted from the legendary world by his "transformation" power, which is considered the power of "returning to the void". Legends will not be restricted by the outside world, which is why traveling in the heavens requires the second step of cultivating immortals to refine the spirit realm, because the immortals in the Qi Refining Realm are too restricted by the outside world. If they are unlucky and fall into a "land of absolute spirits", without the assistance of the "legendary world", they can easily become ordinary people. The unlucky ones may even be killed by warriors as liars.

But the second step of cultivating immortals, the four realms of refining the spirit, is different.

Even a cultivator who has just entered the stage of spiritual cultivation can call upon the "seed of law" in the Land of Absolute Spirits and develop a method similar to the immortal martial arts. Not to mention those who have returned to the void, as long as they can leave a mark in the legendary world, they can easily break through the world barrier and ascend again.

“It’s OK.”

After dissipating the spiritual fire in his hand, Chen Luo's soul left his body again and began to explore the surrounding "legendary world". The woman with a resentful look on her face stood by, not daring to speak.

The soul left the body and flew out of the secret room again.

Familiar colors appeared before his eyes, and ribbons hung down from above. Chen Luo carefully observed these traces of legends, trying to find some useful clues from them.

According to the calculation of the external brain, the moving door is nearby. If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait another three years.

Three years is not a long time, but Chen Luo is not sure that the flower-backed turtle can last that long. Although his brother's brain is also his brain, he must save him if he can. After all, the three of the flower-backed turtle came to the demon tribe to help him do things.

Suddenly, a silk ribbon swayed strangely as it floated across Chen Luo's soul.

Chen Luo's mind moved, and he quickly reached out and grabbed it.

A familiar pulling feeling came.

However, this time Chen Luo was not affected by the opponent, but took the initiative to rush forward. A layer of water-like ripples spread out, and with a "ding dong" sound, it disappeared.

"Come here and take a look!"

A noisy sound appeared in my ears.

When Chen Luo regained his vision, he found himself standing on a long, bustling street. Vendors on both sides of the street were hawking their wares, some selling candied haws and others selling straw-woven grasshoppers. The scene of prosperity was vividly portrayed on paper.

This is actually a human country!

"A strange world of legends."

Chen Luo looked around, trying to find the source of the legend here.

The source of the legend of Yaogu Mountain Village before was the willow spirit and the well. This place is so strange, the source of the legend may be related to the human race. The place where the three of Huabeigui disappeared is likely here. (End of this chapter)
