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...
After figuring out the cause and effect, Chen Luo withdrew his gaze. Without waiting for Zi Tianji and the others to react, he gathered a black cloud and carried everyone towards the direction of Taiyuan Sword Sect.
This time he planned to go to Taixu Sword Sect first. After sweeping all the way here, the troubles of Qionghua Sect were almost solved. It was time to discuss with Gu He about rebuilding Qionghua Sect. The "Tao" of Qionghua Sect also needed to be recovered.
"Master, are you really from the Taixu Sword Sect?"
Chen Luo did not come with the stone man this time. Zi Tianji, who noticed these changes in details, asked boldly. Since he had already decided to follow the other party, he naturally wanted to find out the background.
If the person in front of him is really from Taixu Sword Sect, then he would not be considered surrendering.
How can an internal matter be called surrender?
At most, it can be considered as abandoning darkness and turning to light.
Chen Luo glanced at him, drew out the Taixu Sword and put it on his waist. Seeing the Taixu Sword, Zi Tianji and the others relaxed. The spiritual sword-level Taixu Sword could not be faked. If you don't understand the core inheritance of Taixu Peak, it is impossible to refine the Taixu Sword.
"I have never seen the master's swordsmanship before."
A trace of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of a person next to Zi Tianji.
This person was the 'hero' that Chen Luo subdued when he crushed the Taiyuan Sword Sect. His name was Li Taixuan, and there was only one character difference between him and the deceased leader of the Taixuan Sword Sect.
Li Taixuan was a cultivator at the Spiritualization Realm, serving as an elder in the Taiyuan Sword Sect and also the elder who stayed behind in the sect. After Chen Luo crushed the Taiyuan Sword Sect's protective formation, he chose to surrender without saying a word, kneeling even more smoothly than Zhang Taixuan did at the beginning.
He had some little thoughts before, but now they are all gone! Being defeated by outsiders and being defeated by your own people are two completely different feelings.
The first is to surrender, the second is to follow.
He now feels that his choice was absolutely correct, and all the "sacrifices" he made were for the sect and for the overall situation!
"If I had used a sword, you wouldn't be here."
Chen Luo glanced at the man and said something simple.
With his current sword skills, none of the people in front of him are qualified to make him draw his sword.
Carrying the might and power to crush the four major sword sects, Chen Luo came through the air wrapped in black clouds and soon attracted the attention of Taixu Sword Sect.
Rows of disciples stood outside the formation, looking at the approaching black clouds in the distance as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The news that a demon had destroyed a sect had also reached the Taixu Sword Sect, and many disciples had secretly gone to the four destroyed sects to check and confirm the authenticity of the news. Although the news said that the demon who destroyed the sect was from the Taixu Sword Sect, they knew their own business, and there was definitely no such strong man in the Taixu Sword Sect.
"I swear to live and die with the sect!"
The outer disciples drew out their swords, and the sword energy of hundreds of people gathered together, condensing into a translucent sword shadow.
Chen Luo also saw the actions of these disciples and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. Compared with the other sword sects, the quality of the disciples of Taixu Sword Sect was obviously much higher.
whoosh!
A white shadow flew into the sky. It was Mu Jianyu, Gu He's younger sister before his reincarnation and the oldest Return to Void cultivator in the Qionghua Sect.
“Stop.”
Mu Jianyu stepped into the void and stood in front.
A spherical sword energy emerged from her body, and the pale white sword energy condensed into a storm that disturbed the vitality of the heaven and earth in this area. The whole person was like a sword that was ready to be used, and it was impossible to ignore it.
"I am the Master of Taixu Sword."
Chen Luo stopped in front of Mu Jianyu, and the dark clouds around him dissipated, revealing his original appearance. Zi Tianji, Li Taixuan and several other surrenderers also followed behind him, looking pure in mind.
"Chen Luo?"
When Mu Jianyu saw the Taixu sword on Chen Luo's waist, his momentum immediately eased.
The forging method of the Qionghua Seven Swords was passed down orally, and only the sword master of each peak knew how to sacrifice and refine the spirit sword. The spirit sword of Taixu Peak could only be condensed by obtaining the inheritance of Gu He.
"Uncle Mu."
Chen Luo showed a smile and roughly guessed the identity of this person.
Before, when they were in the lower realm, Mu Xiaoyu had mentioned Mu Jianyu when she was reporting to him the news about the Qionghua Sect in the upper realm.
"Are you my senior brother's nephew in this life?"
After confirming Chen Luo's identity, Mu Jianyu no longer took precautions. He took the initiative to disperse the sword intent around him and looked Chen Luo up and down.
She knew Gu He's temper better than anyone else. He was a conservative person who valued family affection the most. In his previous life, Gu He devoted his whole life to cultivation. When he came to his senses, his relatives had already passed away, leaving him alone. This was one of the few regrets of Gu He. After reincarnation, Gu He took the same path again. Fortunately, he woke up early enough in this life and found a relative.
Chen Luo didn't know what kind of person Gu He was in his previous life.
The relationship between him and Gu He is very complicated. At the beginning, he just wanted to use Gu He to avoid some detours, but now, the relationship between the two has long changed.
It can be said that even if Gu Yue Zhenren, Gu He’s younger brother in this life, were to come back to life, he would not be as good as his nephew Zhen.
"He is indeed excellent and deserves the title of the family-destroying old demon."
Mu Jianyu suddenly said with a smile.
She had heard Gu He mention Chen Luo a long time ago, and knew that this junior of her senior brother was very outstanding, but she had never imagined that Chen Luo's cultivation was so high that even she, a Return to Void cultivator who had practiced for nearly three thousand years, could not see through it.
"An old demon who destroyed the whole family?"
Chen Luo's face turned dark.
What kind of a rubbish title is this? Who are these evil people who are ruining my reputation?
"Senior brother is not in the sect, you can follow me into the sect first."
Mu Jianyu briefly explained the current situation and took Chen Luo back to Taixu Sword Sect.
Unlike the four destroyed sects, the architecture of the Taixu Sword Sect is very similar to that of the lower world. There are many old buildings in the sect that are not in the lower world. These should be preserved by Mu Jianyu. After passing through the front yard, Chen Luo saw an ancient black sword in the square behind. The sword is eight meters high and inserted in the center of the square. The hilt is connected to four iron locks, which nail the giant sword here like a formation. If you get a little closer, you can feel the sword energy emanating from the black sword.
"This is the sword that Senior Brother Gu He wore in his previous life."
Noticing Chen Luo's gaze, Mu Jianyu introduced himself.
Chen Luo nodded, pressed down the trembling Taixu sword at his waist, and followed him into the main hall.
Gu He and Tai Ling were still outside Taiyuan Sword Sect, dealing with Jiang Renkuang and the other three. All the affairs of the sect were handled by Bai Lingling and Mu Xiaoyu. Even Mu Jianyu had only rushed back temporarily when he heard that the "old demon who destroyed the sect" was coming not long ago.
Pushing open the door, Chen Luo and Mu Jianyu walked into the hall one after another.
Zi Tianji and several other "running dogs" who had temporarily come to him were all arranged by him to be outside, guarding the gate with the ordinary disciples.
"Master."
Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Lingling stood at the side, not even daring to sit on the bench. Although they were talking happily before, they were more cowardly than the other when they met Chen Luo, their master. Especially Bai Lingling, she had seen Chen Luo's brutal side when she was in the demon tribe, and knew the methods of her master.
"Practice well now that you are here. Remember to go back and overcome the tribulation when you break through the realm."
Looking at Mu Xiaoyu's pitiful expression, Chen Luo couldn't help but knock her on the head.
In the end, they didn't send her back.
Just like Bai Lingling said, everyone has his own "Tao". As a master, he can lead the way, but he cannot help his disciples make choices. Otherwise, the disciples he trains in the future will all be his imitators and will not go far.
"Thank you, Master!"
After obtaining Chen Luo's permission, Mu Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You should go out too."
Chen Luo waved at Bai Lingling.
After sending the two disciples away, Chen Luo turned his attention to Mu Jianyu and began to inquire about the situation on Gu He's side.
The situation of the Qionghua Sect is very complicated.
In addition to the seven major sword sects that split off on the surface, there are also the Silent Valley and the Ancient Sword Sect behind the scenes. The Silent Valley is a Taoist sect, and the valley master, the Silent Taoist, is a well-known peak Return to the Void strongman. The Ancient Sword Sect is even more legendary as the "Upper Nine Sects", a genuine top giant in the world of cultivation.
The Upper Nine Sects are different from all other Taoist sects. The heritage of these nine sects is extremely long.
The three ancestors of the Qunxing Sect, Sun, Moon, and Star, used all their strength to refine the immortal hammer, hoping to imitate the upper nine sects and create an immortal treasure that could protect their reincarnation. Unfortunately, they failed in the end and only created a half-finished product, which was intercepted by Chen Luo.
But the Upper Nine Sects are different, they have real immortal weapons!
Chen Luo had no idea how powerful the immortal weapon was, but one thing was certain, the immortal weapon could protect the old man's soul and reincarnation, up to nine lifetimes!
For ordinary Taoist sects and low-level independent cultivators, the upper nine sects are the "immortals".
An immortal high in the clouds.
Half of the techniques used in the cultivation world today were created by them, and the remaining half came from the immortals. The Upper Nine Sects and the immortals were the source of this era. They continued the immortal path from the corpse, and although they didn't know where the end would be, as far as they were concerned, there was nothing wrong with the path they had continued.
The two Taoist sects behind the Qionghua Sect cannot be defeated by brute force, which is why Gu He has not been able to rebuild the Qionghua Sect until now.
"Behind the Taiyuan Three Sects is the Silent Valley, and behind the Taisu Sword Sect is the Ancient Sword Sect?"
"That's right."
Mu Jianyu did not hide it either. Chen Luo was Gu He's relative and the person she, Mu Jianyu, trusted the most. There was nothing that needed to be hidden.
"You are now attacking the three Taiyuan sects, but have you found a way to deal with Wusheng Valley?"
Chen Luo's mind flashed with the image of Silent Taoist. He had seen this man in action when he was in the Star Gate. At that time, the realm gap was too big, and he couldn't see the doorway clearly. Now that he recalled it, many details were understood.
The Silent Taoist is definitely a top-level powerhouse in the Return to Void Realm. On that day in the Gate of Stars, he never used his full strength, and it is even possible that what came out was not his true form.
He has the comprehension of a human genius and a lifespan comparable to that of an old turtle. With so many factors added together, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary Return to the Void to cope with it.
I just don’t know what this person’s ultimate goal is.
Not to mention the Ancient Sword Sect, Chen Luo had never come into contact with anyone from the Upper Nine Sects during his cultivation. These people seemed to live in another dimension, and few of them walked around in the outside world. Occasionally someone would appear, but they would be like a flash in the pan and disappear quickly.
There is no root to be found, no trace to be traced.
"The return of Senior Brother Tai Ling has given Senior Brother Gu He a way to deal with the Silent Taoist. But as for the Ancient Sword Sect..." Mu Jianyu did not elaborate.
Because they didn't find a solution either, and that's why they didn't attack the Taisu Sword Sect.
"Leave it to me." (End of this chapter)
