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 they saw the stone thrown by Chen Luo, they were both stunned.
This was a spiritual object they had refined in their previous life, and it contained the sword spirits of the seven of them. Although this life had been destroyed and rebuilt, the legacy of the previous life would still be of great use, especially the sword spirits of the other five people. If they could comprehend it, the two of them would be able to set up the Qionghua Sword Formation!
"This is the Sword Soul Stone. There are seven sword souls smelted in it. I have seen your sword skills before, but you haven't condensed the sword soul yet."
Gu He picked up the Sword Soul Stone and gave a special reminder.
"No, my swordsmanship is different from yours."
Chen Luo stood up and walked out.
As he walked, a large number of black dots gathered in the air around him and fell into his sleeves like dust. A large amount of information was transmitted back, and the broken picture was like a puzzle, which was completed bit by bit.
For half a year, Chen Luo used the soul-parasitic insect to control the black bugs outside the Taisu Sword Sect.
Then, through the perspective of these insects, he obtained the information he wanted.
The Seven Qionghua Sects no longer have any secrets from him.
"This kid is becoming more and more mysterious." Tai Ling couldn't help but say something as he watched Chen Luo leaving.
"Everyone has their own secrets, aren't you and I the same?"
After saying this, Gu He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to comprehend the Sword Soul Stone in his hand.
Ancestor Tai Ling also withdrew his gaze.
"Taisu Sword Sect?"
Chen Luo stood outside the mountain gate, and after collecting the last black flying insect, his brows subconsciously frowned. Just now, he used the brain of the Tianji cultivator to calculate the location of the Wusheng Valley Master, and the reminder he got was actually the Taisu Sword Sect.
Could it be the same voice from before?
Chen Luo thought of the mysterious man who had bewitched him. Although he had no specific contact with him, that person must be a big trouble. Who would seal themselves in a cave? Chen Luo chose to leave immediately because he didn't want to be involved in this trouble. No matter what the other party planned, he would not follow his wishes.
"Let's go check out those twenty-two corpses first."
Gu He and his team dug out 22 corpses from the abandoned cave of Taisu Sword Sect, and these corpses are now in Taixu Sword Sect. He just happened to go over to receive them, maybe he could find some useful information.
"Master."
When Chen Luo came over, Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Lingling were there.
After the reorganization of Qionghua Sect, Chen Luo, Gu He, Tai Ling and Mu Jianyu became the ancestors of the sect, and the original sect masters such as Chi Wanjian and Zi Tianji were ranked second and counted as peak masters. Bai Lingling is also the peak master now, and the destroyed Taisu Sword Sect was assigned to her.
"What did you find?"
Chen Luo walked in from outside, and the other disciples quickly retreated upon seeing this.
Unlike Bai Lingling and the others, the disciples of Qionghua Sect were most afraid of Chen Luo. Many of them had fled from other sects, and they had witnessed the ferocity of the "old demon who destroyed the clan" with their own eyes.
"They are just a group of corpses in the Jindan stage. Their cultivation is stronger, so they should have condensed their Nascent Soul when they were alive." Bai Lingling is a bone demon. Her perception of bones is stronger than that of human cultivators, and the information she perceives is more accurate than that of Gu He and others.
Twenty-two corpses were neatly placed on the stone platform.
In order to ensure that the bones were not damaged, Gu He and Tai Ling imposed restrictions around them. These bones were the only clues that could be found so far, and they were related to the "Tao" of the Qionghua Sect, so it was never too cautious.
Chen Luo carefully observed the whole circle, but did not find the skeleton he had read at the corner among the twenty-two skeletons. The situation was similar to what he had guessed. The cave that Gu He and Tai Ling entered was different from the one he entered.
Walking to the only Nascent Soul corpse, Chen Luo placed his right hand on the skull.
A wisp of gray air flowed into the palm of his hand.
'That is our 'Tao'.'
A clear picture appeared in his mind, the same as the one he had read in the cave before. The picture still had the woman with the sword on her back and the strange demon in the black robe. The difference was that this time they were much closer.
The perspective of the picture is very low, as if it was written down while lying on the ground.
The female swordsman and the black-robed monster looked down at them indifferently.
In front of the two of them, there was a sword-shaped phantom. This phantom was the "Tao" of the Qionghua School. It was the picture recorded by this person before his death, and it was also the "Tao" he understood.
Releasing his right hand, Chen Luo touched the other twenty-one corpses again and obtained the same picture as the first corpse. The only difference was the perspective.
"Why is there no trace of the Ancient Sword Sect?"
Chen Luo thought about the scene in his mind. He came here to read the residual thoughts of these brains. His original purpose was to find traces of the Ancient Sword Sect and then deduce the whereabouts of the Upper Nine Sects. If that didn't work, Silent Taoist would also work. As a result, after searching the corpses, he didn't find any useful clues, but instead discovered two new problems.
"Have you ever been inside the Taisu Sword Sect's cave?"
Chen Luo turned and looked at Bai Lingling beside him.
“I’ve been there, no problems.”
Bai Lingling responded quickly. After Gu He and Tai Ling left, Bai Lingling and Zi Tianji, the new peak masters, also went in once. The scene they saw was exactly the same as Gu He and the others, except that Chen Luo saw another cave.
"Master, could it be an illusion?" Mu Xiaoyu reminded.
If there was really something wrong with the Taisu Sword Sect's cave, it would definitely not be like this. Even the formation and the spiritual poison can be traced. Such a big change could not have happened to only one person. The only explanation was that Chen Luo was under an illusion and someone secretly affected his perception.
From a normal person's perspective, this is the only answer that makes sense.
"Won't."
Chen Luo shook his head. He had more than a thousand brains in his body. No matter how powerful the illusion in the Taisu Cave was, it was absolutely impossible to affect more than a thousand genius brains at the same time. Not to mention that these brains also contained powerful beings such as the Immortal Emperor Changqing and the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal Zhao Qi, who had crossed the threshold between immortals and mortals.
"Let Zi Tianji and the others come over."
Chen Luo was going to explore the cave of Taisu Sword Sect again, but it was definitely not possible to take risks by himself. Zi Tianji was very suitable for this mission, so Chen Luo decided to give them a chance to perform.
"Master."
Zi Tianji flew in quickly from outside. As soon as he saw Chen Luo, he showed a flattering smile. Although the Qionghua Sect has now re-designated the headmaster, Zi Tianji does not recognize him at all. Just as he said, he only recognizes Chen Luo as the headmaster, and no one else can do it.
The same goes for Li Taixuan and others.
This can also be considered a kind of surrender.
After the unification of the Qionghua Sect, those who did not originally belong to the Taixu Sword Sect became outsiders of a lower level. Although the status of the seven peaks was equal on the surface, they had long been divided into different levels in secret. Everyone knew that Gu He was the founder of the Taixu Peak, and Chen Luo also came from the Taixu Peak. Those who had surrendered had no ancestors above them, and had offended the fourth ancestor Mu Jianyu, so their status in the sect was very awkward.
"Why are you the only one?"
Looking at the smile on Chen Luo's face, Zi Tianji felt a little nervous.
"Where are Li Taixuan and the others?"
"My junior's escape technique is faster than theirs, so I got there first."
Zi Tianji responded immediately. He absolutely did not dare to sit in the seat that Chen Luo arranged for him. He could only stand by and wait. Soon, several streams of light flew in from outside again. They were Li Taixuan and other "heroes" who had come to seek refuge.
"Greetings, Master."
Chen Luo nodded in response and glanced around.
It should be enough for five people.
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he reached into his sleeve and took out a few red pills and placed them on the table.
"I have an opportunity here. The risk is a bit high, but the benefits are very high."
These pills were made by Chen Luo temporarily. Their medicinal properties were auxiliary, and their main function was to help him hide the effect of the "Reverse Possession Method". He planned to use the "Reverse Possession Method" to copy five brains on these five people and use their perspective to see the situation inside the Taisu Cave.
Zi Tianji and others looked at each other, and no one spoke.
They were all people who could adapt to the situation and valued their lives the most. If not, they would not have abandoned their original sects and surrendered to Chen Luo. They were extremely reluctant to do something that was obviously very risky.
"Since you all have no objection, go back and prepare."
"???"
Zi Tianji and others had a lot of question marks in their heads.
What do you mean by no opinion? Don’t you see that our faces are full of opinions?
"yes."
Suppressing their dissatisfaction, Zi Tianji and the others could only pick up the pills that Chen Luo gave them and turned to leave the main hall. Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Lingling beside them did not speak the whole time. After getting along for a long time, they naturally knew what kind of temper their master had.
Half a day later.
Outside the cave of Taisu Sword Sect.
Zi Tianji, Li Taixuan and four others stood outside the cave, refusing to move forward.
They had been to this place once before, but this time their mentality was completely different. They came here on their own initiative before, but this time they came to help the "family-destroying demon" scout the place, and there was still the "mark" left by Chen Luo on their bodies.
Although I don’t know what dangers are inside the Taisu Cave, I can tell something from Chen Luo’s attitude.
This is a ruthless man who destroyed the Taiyuan Sword Sect with one sword. Even he is afraid of this place. How can small characters like them get involved?
"Don't worry, I'm here."
A puppet whose clothes were 90% similar to Chen Luo stood behind the five people and comforted them.
Zi Tianji glanced at the puppet that was talking, and swallowed back all the words in his heart. He remembered that not long ago, he and Zhang Taixuan of Taixuan Sword Sect said the same thing to Elder Zuo. It can be said that things are changing. But the speed of this change is a bit too fast.
"He Chi, you go first."
Zi Tianji's gaze swept around and fell on a thin monk at the back.
This person had defected from the Tailing Sword Sect. His cultivation was the weakest among the five of them, only at the initial stage of Spirit Transformation. Naturally, the "opportunity" of taking the lead should be given to him.
"Ah? Me?"
He Chi, who was trying his best to hide his presence, was stunned when he heard Zi Tianji's words. (End of this chapter)
