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...
Chen Luo also felt the danger. Although he didn't know who the source of the danger was, he chose to restrain his breath like Ding Mao, and he also took the chessboard back.
All the parts of the external brain that are sensitive to danger become active.
'Passive danger.'
'Hold your breath.'
The shadow of a giant whale passed by from outside, and its shadow affected the swaying light in the passage, causing ripples. The huge tail swept across the right side of the passage as if unconsciously.
Boom!
One side of the stone wall exploded, and the broken stones flew in, bringing up a lot of dust. Gray air flow penetrated in from the gap, rushing through the entire passage like sea water.
Chen Luo and Ding Mao were also involved.
Chen Luo felt countless transparent shadows passing through his body. These shadows were erratic and looked like white gas. Every time he passed a shadow, his body temperature would drop by several degrees, and something in his body would disappear as well. An indescribable feeling of fatigue surged into his heart.
'Strange demon, year beast.'
Brother Changqing’s thoughts emerged.
'Five on the list of strange monsters: evil.'
The brain responsible for remembering the strange monster quickly emerged with information related to the Sui Beast.
The Sui beast is a vicious and evil creature.
Born in the year of food, it is hard to see in the world of mortals.
This was the first time that Chen Luo saw the top five beings on the Monster List. This kind of power was not comparable to those of the lower-level monsters. The aura that overflowed from them was enough to wipe out an area and end its life.
The shadow lasted for half a quarter of an hour.
Not until all the breath dissipated did the airflow in the passage weaken.
After a long time, the shaking passage gradually calmed down, the light returned to a stable state, and the gap returned to its original state. Chen Luo looked around and found Ding Mao pretending to be dead in the corner.
He walked over and raised his foot, and his spiritual energy gathered again.
Either don't do it, or do it cleanly.
This was his usual style. He didn't know what the beast had taken away, but it was definitely not a good thing. After spending so much effort, he naturally wanted to eradicate it and prevent future troubles.
"The Sui beast knows when bad things will happen. If there is a fluctuation in spiritual power, it will definitely return."
At the moment when Chen Luo was about to take action, Brother Changqing's thought popped up again, which made the spiritual power gathered in his body stay where it was and not released.
"If we attract the beast, we will all die."
Ding Mao's body was still lying on the ground, motionless, like a dead body. However, his voice appeared in Chen Luo's mind, and the voice was several times smaller than before. The past year beast not only affected Chen Luo, but also caused him great trauma.
"What about the others who came in with me?"
"They have already gone to the place where the array patterns are connected."
Borrowing from the past to succeed, returning to an era where harmony with the Tao is allowed?
"What did you want to talk to me about?"
Concentrating his spiritual power, Chen Luo squatted beside Ding Mao's "corpse".
Unlike Ding Mao, Chen Luo has an external brain that is good at hiding his aura, allowing him to move freely.
"When you leave here alive, help me save someone."
"who?"
"My master."
Chen Luo was a little surprised. He thought Ding Mao would ask him to help him out of trouble, but he didn't expect it to be to save someone.
"The Upper Nine Sects are the founders of the Corpse Immortal Way. They are more powerful than you can imagine. I have some information about the Upper Nine Sects. Although it may be outdated, it can still be of some use. This is my advance payment to you. When you come back after rescuing the people, I will give you the rest of the payment."
"What's the reward?"
"The secret of why I was expelled from the Ancient Sword Sect is definitely worth your help."
"good."
Chen Luo stood up, a ray of spiritual light flew out from the corpse and fell into the palm of his hand. Information related to the Ancient Sword Sect flooded into his mind like a tide and was completely digested by him.
Infinite world?
Chen Luo's eyes fluctuated, and for the first time he learned the name of the world where the Upper Nine Sects were located.
"The time it takes to borrow the ancient magic is about one hour. You must leave here before the power dissipates, otherwise you will be trapped here forever like me. I don't know how to leave, but I believe you can find it."
Ding Mao's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
The corpse lying on the ground weathered quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of rotten wood.
What did this old guy see? I wonder who he saw, the third brother's hatred, or the corpse-reincarnated immortal Zhao Qi? It is definitely impossible for the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. If Ding Mao had this ability, he would not be trapped in this place, neither alive nor dead.
Chen Luo stood up and continued walking along the passage.
The Immortal Emperor Changqing's brain took over the mainstream, and the world in his eyes had undergone tremendous changes. Unlike the perspectives of ghost cultivators and alchemy cultivators, in the eyes of Brother Changqing, this road that Ding Mao had never walked out of in his entire life was a smooth road.
Things related to restrictions and formations are just inconspicuous little spots that can be ignored in the eyes of the Immortal Emperor Changqing.
'It will be easy once we have determined the direction.'
Chen Luo naturally couldn't move forward with this perspective. The "little spot" in Brother Changqing's eyes could be a fatal danger to him. He called on the brain of the Immortal Emperor Changqing only to determine whether this direction was correct.
The vision changes, and the brain of the formation master takes the initiative.
The strange spots disappeared and the passage returned to normal.
Chen Luo walked forward in this direction for a while, and a round stone blocked his way. Among the small spots that Changqing Immortal Emperor saw before, one was here.
'Natural formation, mysterious seal.'
'Circular array.'
'Take three steps to the left, and release the remaining four spiritual powers to break it.'
However, in the blink of an eye, the formation master in the external brain broke the energy of this strange stone.
After breaking the formation, Chen Luo continued to move forward. Along the way, he encountered several "small spots". Some of these small spots were formations, some were monsters, and some were related to natural toxins. Chen Luo broke them all the way, and with the confirmation of the "small spots" of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, he perfectly avoided all murderous intentions and gradually walked to the end of the passage.
A flash of white light passed by.
The feeling of a water curtain flowed across the surface of his body, and Chen Luo only felt his body lighten, and a feeling of freedom and ease surged into his heart.
The joy made him smile, and he walked faster. But as he walked, he felt something was wrong, and subconsciously raised his hand to see that his palm was transparent. Looking back, he saw his body standing dozens of meters behind him, smiling and waving at him.
Out of body?
Chen Luo stopped. He was a Return to Void cultivator, and he had mastered the ability to have his soul leave his body when he was in the Transformation Realm. He had also traveled to the Legend Realm many times, but the scene before him was very different from when he had left his body on his own. This feeling was like being tripped by someone, and his soul had escaped from his body on its own.
"This is 'borrowing from the past'!"
Ding Mao's voice came from behind.
The so-called "borrowing from the past" means "borrowing from the past" with spirit and soul from the very beginning.
The spirit that has left the body is free and unfettered, not bound by the rules of the world, and can travel thousands of miles in a single thought, shuttling between yin and yang. The "Tao Book" records that when a cultivator's spirit leaves the body, it can travel thousands of miles a day, up to the ninth heaven, and down to the netherworld.
The lifelong dream of many people who practice Taoism is to cut off their physical bodies and achieve freedom of the spirit and soul.
Chen Luo has now achieved this step, and the soul that has been separated by the "borrowing the ancient" method is no longer bound by the physical body and does not need to return regularly. If Chen Luo is willing to change to the soul path, he can immediately cultivate into a Yin God and fly through the thunder tribulation.
But Chen Luo obviously wouldn't want this.
He has been paving the way since he built his foundation, practicing all three paths simultaneously. How could he possibly give up here?
".Only the soul can return, and only the soul is not bound. Get rid of the troubled body and achieve great freedom."
Ding Mao is still talking about great principles, and this is how he understands "Tao".
As the saying goes, those with different ideals cannot work together.
Chen Luo's "Tao" is different from Ding Mao's "Tao". Ding Mao thinks that the right way of cultivation is very likely to be wrong in his opinion.
"Fellow Daoist, you have achieved enlightenment. As long as you break through the shackles of the Dao, you will be able to fly through the thunder tribulation and achieve the Yang God."
Chen Luo ignored Ding Mao's chattering and stared at his own body.
The power of the Reverse Possession Technique was activated quickly, and soon, a brain exactly like his appeared in the corpse. The corpse, which had been waving its hands stiffly, paused and slowly retracted its right hand.
The body and the soul were separated by a distance, but they showed the same smile.
'Give me the Dharma and the meaning.'
'Come here in your physical form.'
The same thought came to mind, and the body and soul turned around and walked in different directions. The body was ready to leave here and return to Qionghua Sect. The soul was going upstream to the Wuliang Realm where "Jiegu" was.
Ding Mao, who was speaking, suddenly stopped.
He looked blankly at Chen Luo's body and soul which were separated one after the other, not understanding what was happening.
The corpse after the soul left the body can still move!
Could it be that this guy has been possessed by someone? No, he has Zhao Qi's aura, who can possess him! That's a corpse immortal.
The passage finally came to an end.
There was an empty circular space here, surrounded by a lot of gray fog. A nearly fifty-meter-tall tree occupied the middle area, with a huge tree umbrella covering the sky. Dense vines hung down from the treetops, and at the end of each vine, there was a scarlet fruit.
The fruit is round all over, with crystal clear water droplets condensed on the surface, which makes people's appetite increase.
The translucent fruity aroma spread from inside like a living snake, surrounding Chen Luo.
suck!!
Chen Luo closed his eyes and inhaled the white smoke into his chest. An unprecedented sense of comfort surged into his heart. The breath that was previously taken away by the Year Beast was successfully restored after inhaling this breath, and even slightly improved. (End of this chapter)
