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 637 Adjusting Cognition

After a few drinks, Chen Luo somehow joined the gang and became the 108th ranked hero.

The way of the world.

This was the name given to their force by Yuwen Ling and Ding Jian.

The opposite of the human way is the evil way.

This world is indeed the world where the demon clan's holy mountain is located. The difference is that the demon clan does not live underground, but on the "mountain". They are high above like immortals and Buddhas, enjoying the sacrifices and offerings of ordinary people. The Xijian Sect's skills that Chen Luo saw before are the sword skills for offering sacrifices to demons. The stronger the practice, the deeper the relationship with the demon clan. Ninety percent of the demon power they practice on weekdays will be taken away by the demon immortals they worship, and the remaining ten percent belongs to them.

Naturally, there would be people who resisted this exaggerated method of extraction, and Humanistic Path was born in this context.

Yuwen Ling and Ding Jian were not the founders of the Human World, and the Bailian River Juyi Hall was only a part of the Human World. The real Taoist master was a powerful person who had surpassed the Dharma, and was unfathomable. The two of them had never seen him.

"Humanitarianism."

Chen Luo flipped through the secret book in his hand and understood the whole technique in no time.

It was indeed somewhat different from the Xijian Sect's secret book. The absorption and control of the demonic power became more comprehensive, and the demonic energy introduced into the body and the means of calling it were more powerful than the Xijian Sect's techniques. It was a pity that this technique would also consume demonic power, but the consumption was not as much as the demon sacrifice technique.

In Chen Luo's opinion, whether it is Xijianmen's "Sacrificial Sword" or the human world's martial arts, they are all a kind of demonic martial arts.

He looked at things from a different angle than Yuwen Ling and the others. His strength at the sixth level allowed him to see many things that Yuwen Ling and the others could not see, the most obvious of which was the truncation of the legendary realm. As long as the legendary realm was truncated, no matter whether it was the "Demon Sacrifice Method" or the "Human Method", none of them would be able to break through the Return to Void Realm.

If you can’t break through to the Return to Void Realm, any amount of struggle will be in vain.

As a Dao Sect-level power, the demon clan has a Return to Void cultivator in charge, and a Return to Void cultivator who has mastered the Dao. It is nothing but a foolish dream to practice the demon energy method to resist the demon clan within the rules set by these people.

"First, discard the previous cultivation method, and then change it to the human cultivation method. Then you will know how powerful our human race's immortal method is."

Sima Ze's identity should be a figure similar to a military strategist in the mountain stronghold. After saying some encouraging words to Chen Luo, he got up and left.

The banquet is over.

The crowd dispersed one after another.

"Who is that old turtle you were talking about?"

Yuwen Ling walked over to Chen Luo and sat down.

She was very interested in Chen Luo, the outsider. During the previous fight, this person never showed any fear from beginning to end. His indifferent expression was like watching a group of ants fighting. And his aura gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had seen this person somewhere else a long time ago. Ding Jian also had a similar feeling. Like Yu Wenling, he wanted to learn more about Chen Luo.

"A friend."

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Luo's eyes, and his spiritual sense carefully scanned Yu Wen Ling.

'Memory damaged, brain damaged.'

If he hadn't just done the experiment on Zhao Han, Chen Luo really couldn't see the changes in Yu Wenling and Ding Jian. But now with the data summarized above, he quickly noticed the difference. In terms of brain research, Chen Luo has an unparalleled advantage.

The memories of the two people in front of him had been tampered with.

"Like me?"

Yuwen Ling continued to ask.

Chen Luo smiled and shook his head, not answering the question. The two people in front of him had not recovered their memories, so it was meaningless to say more. The Demon Clan Holy Mountain gave him a strange feeling. He planned to find the strong man who had the same hobby as him to see if he could discuss with him and borrow his brain.

"Where are you from?" Ding Jian also came over.

He had wanted Sima Ze to test it out, but Sima Ze sat here for a long time and went back to tell him that he had not found out anything. This outsider was very cautious. Apart from the presence of human beings, he knew nothing else.

"From Xijianmen."

Chen Luo did not hide it. With Zhao Han's current state, his uncle status would be exposed soon. With the power of the Human World, he only needed to inquire a little to find out.

"Where did the two masters come from?"

"us?"

Yuwen Ling frowned. When he heard the question of "where did you come from", he instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, but after thinking carefully for a while, he couldn't find the source of the problem. He could only attribute it all to being too tired.

"We are the people of Bailian River. We grew up here."

"You should have a good rest. Once you have completed your training, we will take you out to kill the demons."

After saying that, Yuwen Ling stood up, and Ding Jian lost interest in the conversation. Their bodies instinctively disliked topics related to "where they came from", and they might not even realize it themselves. Chen Luo watched the two people leave with his eyes flickering, and thoughts in his external brain popped up one after another.

The days soon calmed down.

Chen Luo integrated into the village. Except for the first two days when some people came to talk to him out of curiosity, basically no one asked about him afterwards.

The copycat is not small.

Including Chen Luo, there are a total of 108 heads. Except for Chen Luo, all the heads have families in the mountain. Calculated in this way, the number of people in the mountain is comparable to that of a small town. When distributing food on weekdays, the scene is more lively than the market below.

"They are just techniques, not the Way."

Chen Luo threw the skills in his hand aside.

The aura on the surface of his body slowly changed, but in a split second, he crossed dozens of thresholds, broke through to the Divine Power Realm, and then further reached the Dharma Realm. The technique had reached its peak at this point.

He learned all the sword techniques of Xijianmen, such as the sword for sacrificing demons and the sword for human beings.

For a genius with an external brain, this low-level technique can be seen through at a glance. With his own foundation, he can master it with a little practice. However, this low-level technique is meaningless to Chen Luo. Whether it is the Demon Sacrifice Sword or the Humane Sword, they are just techniques.

It was a method created by others. In order to crack the mystery and find the person who modified the memories of Yuwen Ling and Ding Jian, he needed to find the "root cause".

On the river.

Yuwen Ling drew back the blood-stained sword, and the round blood beads gathered into granules and fell into her hands. Not far behind him, Ding Jian was doing something similar. A little further away, a large group of pirates were looting other ships, and the sound of fighting resounded across the river.

"That person hasn't learned the Dao yet?"

"I don't know. He gives me a very strange feeling. He doesn't seem to be particularly interested in humanitarian law."

Ding Jian shook his head.

Not only Yuwen Ling was paying attention to Chen Luo, he was also paying attention. The inexplicable familiarity made them both look forward to it, but it was a pity that such a long time had passed, and Chen Luo practiced in the mountains every day, and so far there was no news of successful transformation. He even sent someone to notify him of this mission, but the other party did not come down the mountain or come out with them.

I stay alone in the house every day, living the same life as the old, weak, women and children in the mountains.

"Do you want to find someone to try him out?"

Yuwen Ling raised her hand and threw out a fire. The flames spread along the corpses, and instantly burned the wooden boat in front of them. The pirates who were still fighting in the distance saw the flames and cheered, and their momentum increased for a while.

"Not for now. I am more concerned about the other side of the river than such trivial matters."

Ding Jian shook his head, then looked to the other side of the white mist. Yu Wenling, who was talking to him, also showed a similar expression.

"The demons are getting more active. There are so many more people crossing the river recently. I suspect the demons' seventh round of sacrifices is about to begin."

Another ship was coming from that direction.

"Then kill! Kill all the sacrifices."

Yuwen Ling's figure flashed, and she turned into light again, rushing towards the approaching ship.

Blood splattered everywhere, another massacre.

Half a day later, the pirates returned to their camp with great victory.

All the families on the mountain came out to greet them, and some bandits who did not participate in the looting mission also stood at the mountain entrance. Chen Luo was in the crowd, his expression dull and his eyes lifeless. It was impossible for Chen Luo to come in person to pick up people, which was a waste of time. In order to deal with these people on the mountain, he put a human skin on his puppet and let it go out to pick up people on his behalf.

With a dull expression, he blended in with the crowd and was inconspicuous.

"Welcome back to the mountain, great master."

Deafening cheers came from the direction of the big flag. It seemed that there were new people entering the village. Chen Luo did not look. He had been studying the method of breaking through the Return to Void during this period. Not far from him, a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks sat beside him with a flattering smile on his face, looking like a lackey.

This guy is ranked 107th on the mountain.

When Yuwen Ling and the others went down the mountain, this man found an excuse to bully Chen Luo and get some benefits from him. Chen Luo, who was worried about not being able to find a test subject, expressed a warm welcome to the visit of the "guest".

After several rounds of memory adjustments, this hero named Shi Sao has become what he is now.

"What's this?"

Chen Luo picked up a book from the table and placed it in front of Shi Sao.

"It's the red vermillion fruit."

Shi Sao responded immediately, and his eyes did not waver at all, as if the book in front of him really was the Red Vermillion Fruit.

"What about this?"

Chen Luo took out another red vermilion fruit and placed it on the table.

"It's a fox-blood long-eared rabbit. I know this thing." Shi Sao rubbed his hands, and the flattering smile on his face became more obvious. He didn't understand why this gentleman showed him these things.

"Okay, it's none of your business."

Chen Luo waved his hand and sent the guy away.

Turning around and walking into the inner room, there were seven or eight skulls placed in the room, with different colors flashing inside the skulls of these skulls.

During this period, Chen Luo's "brain repair technology" made a major breakthrough.

The inspiration for this breakthrough came from Yuwen Ling and Ding Jian. (End of this chapter)
