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 had been in this era for so long, and the one he had the most contact with was the Ancient Sword Sect. Just looking at the area controlled by the Ancient Sword Sect, he could not detect any danger.
Immortal cultivators are still fighting for interests.
Resources, status, and skills.
Chen Luo had thought about this question before, but the world of immortal cultivation eight thousand years ago was too big. It was difficult for one person to know the changes in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
The appearance of a Taoist named Ge helped him solve this problem perfectly.
"Great evil?"
Chen Luo didn't quite understand.
There are many fierce beasts and demons in the world of immortal cultivation, but Chen Luo has never come into contact with anything that can be called a great evil. Even the Good and Evil Tree, which ranked fourth on the list of strange monsters, and the Year Beast, which ranked fifth on the list of strange monsters, which he had come into contact with in the Infinite Realm, could not reach the level of a great evil.
These two strange monsters are very powerful, but their nature limits them, preventing them from slaughtering living beings on a large scale and causing a disaster.
"The danger of the sky falling."
Taoist Ge looked at the hexagram in his hand and was also a little confused.
During this period, he had been in close contact with Chen Luo and had extracted his aura to predict the future, which consumed a lot of his lifespan. But even so, he did not get any valuable clues. He could only vaguely infer that the changes in the world of immortal cultivation were related to this person, but he had no idea at all what level the connection was and where the connection started.
This result made Chen Luo silent.
During this period, he asked Zi Tianji to collect information about the Silent Taoist. Mu Jianyu's revenge was not over yet. According to the information fed back by the communication talisman, there was someone behind the Divine Transformation cultivator she killed. It seemed that she had also offended an elder of the Ancient Sword Sect because of this, and the trouble was getting bigger and bigger.
But compared with the "disaster from heaven" predicted by Taoist Ge, these things seem somewhat insignificant.
“Can you calculate the source?”
Chen Luo didn't really want to get involved in this matter. He came here only to break through his cultivation and find the silent Taoist to take back the Qionghua Sect. In another thirty-nine years, he would go back, and by then, everything in this time and space would become the past.
Become an established fact.
The past cannot be changed, and everyone knows it.
"I can't predict it, but I can't escape it."
The Taoist surnamed Ge seemed to see what Chen Luo was thinking. He took back the talisman paper beside him and spoke to Chen Luo seriously.
"This is the trend of heaven and earth, no one can escape it."
He chose to come to find Chen Luo because he saw this hexagram. He originally thought that he could change the result after finding Chen Luo, but now it seems that the "Heavenly Disaster" has no direct relationship with Chen Luo.
"Instead of running away, you might as well think about how to deal with it. When the sky is falling, the only way to survive is to swim against the current. The invisibility of fate is your greatest advantage, so don't waste it."
"Where are you going?"
Chen Luo was not fooled by the old Taoist at all. He was not sure about other people, but the old man in front of him must have survived. Not only did he survive, he even used the opportunity to break through his cultivation and reached the mysterious realm of the later generations.
Instead of running around the world to avoid danger, it is better to stay with this old guy.
If it doesn't work, he can still withdraw the power of "borrowing the ancient" and go back. But in this way, the Qionghua Sect's Dao will never be obtained, and the Wusheng Taoist may also take this opportunity to achieve the Hedao. Once the other party achieves the Hedao and returns, the pattern of the future may change greatly. The upper nine sects and all the immortal sects below the immortal race must respect Wusheng Valley.
"Follow you."
The Taoist surnamed Ge gave an answer without any hesitation.
This made Chen Luo a little dumbfounded.
Isn't this "oneself and oneself"? His original plan was to follow Ge Xian through this disaster and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but he didn't expect that this old guy had the same idea as him. He took his own path ahead of time!
After leaving the cave, Chen Luo went down the mountain to the market.
After so many days, there was finally news from Zi Tianji.
The Silent Taoist who was hiding in the Yellow Spring moved. Someone in the Ancient Sword Sect saw him in the Xuanguang Domain. With him were a group of Yellow Spring ghost cultivators. In order to deal with this group of Yellow Spring ghost cultivators, the Ancient Sword Sect issued a corresponding task within the sect. The person behind the new Five Elements City Lord Le Shang personally rushed over, and Zi Tianji also learned the news when he was allocating supplies.
"Master, should we rush over there directly?"
Zi Tianji changed his face. This time he came out to take on a task of material allocation, and his purpose was to meet Chen Luo.
"Send some people over to explore the way first, and then inform me after confirming the location."
Chen Luo glanced in the direction of the Xuanguang Domain and frowned subconsciously.
This location was too close to the place calculated by Ge Xianbu. If it was not handled properly in the past, it would be easy to encounter that fierce beast.
"yes."
Zi Tianji didn't know what Chen Luo was thinking. Seeing that he had made up his mind, he immediately turned around and left Panshi Market.
He will be busy for a while. He must find the whereabouts of Silent Taoist before the Ancient Sword Sect takes action. Only in this way can he prevent the Tao from falling into the hands of the Ancient Sword Sect.
Looking at Zi Tianji's receding back, Chen Luo's index finger kept tapping on the table.
The "Tao" in the hands of the Silent Taoist is of great use to him.
If he could obtain this 'Tao', his cultivation would be able to go further, and his intention would be more perfect. In his external brain, Brother Changqing had already planned the path for him to return to the Void Realm. This Tao was directly related to Chen Luo's cultivation and the accumulation of thousands of years, so he could not let it go no matter what.
As a cultivator who came from ancient times, Chen Luo couldn't possibly be like the cultivators of this era, spending hundreds or thousands of years to comprehend a "Tao". That was neither realistic nor cost-effective.
"I still have to go there in person, but it's a little unsafe to go alone."
Chen Luo paused with his index finger, and made a decision. His body began to sway like a water curtain, and after a moment, a figure transformed by the Illusion God Gu walked out of the cave, turned into a stream of light, and flew away from here following Zi Tianji.
The body in the cave also stood up, packed up the things in the cave, turned around and walked to the side and knocked gently on the wooden door.
"Senior Ge, I have an opportunity to come to your door."
Xuanguang Realm.
The sky was filled with colorful auroras, and the distorted light curtain covered the entire area like a veil. The ground was an endless plain, and the soil was covered with silver plants. These plants were like creepers, with leaves covering the entire earth. The cold wind blew, bringing up a silver "wave".
whoosh!
Two streaks of light streaked across the sky.
A strong wind blew past the ground, making the silver leaves rustle.
The figures flew for about half a day, and when the colorful aurora in the sky changed, two figures fell from the sky one after another.
These two people were Chen Luo and the Taoist named Ge.
“I remember there was a river here.”
Ge Xian landed beside Chen Luo, stepping on the silver leaves. He looked around in confusion, feeling that something was wrong.
After entering the Xuanguang Realm, a faint aura appeared around him. No matter how hard he searched, he could not find the source.
"After this burst of mysterious light passes, we will move forward."
Chen Luo raised his head, looked at the distorted light curtain in the sky, and said simply.
His clone had already gone there with Zi Tianji, along with dozens of immortal cultivators controlled by his external brain. These people who walked in front helped them detect many dangers. Distorted light curtains were the most common type.
These are not recorded in the Ancient Sword Sect's jade slips.
The real world of immortal cultivation is far beyond the scope of words. Places like Xuanguang Domain are changing almost every moment. Simple records will not play any role, but will mislead later generations. Therefore, the Ancient Sword Sect did not record these things at all, but simply mentioned them in the mission.
Southeast area of Xuanguang Territory.
In a remote market town, the long street was deserted. Large yellowish shadows emerged from the ground and shuttled through the market town. The sound of "rustling" echoed in the silent air.
This market town, which was so prosperous yesterday, has completely turned into ruins today.
Cold corpses lay on the street, mixed with the bluestone on the ground.
“Not found.”
A yellow shadow stopped on the roof of a collapsed house, revealing its true appearance.
Ghost cultivator!
These pale yellow shadows are all Huangquan ghost cultivators. They came out this time to find something. For this thing, Huangquan’s top leaders issued a "first-level task" with the reward of Huangquan's core inheritance.
A large number of powerful ghost cultivators were alarmed and returned to the ground from the underworld, starting to wreak havoc everywhere.
“It should be in this area.”
Taoist Wusheng was also wearing a light yellow robe. Unlike the ghost cultivators of Huangquan, he had a kind of "popularity" that the others did not have. It was this "popularity" that gave him a chance to merge with the Dao. The Lord of Huangquan took a fancy to this and accepted him as his disciple.
Under the collapsed ruins.
In a house covered with yellow talismans, a middle-aged cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage and a young girl in the Qi Refining stage moved their bodies cautiously.
The two of them were the only survivors in this market.
The reason they were able to survive the ghost cultivators was not because they were lucky, but because they were not from this era. The older, middle-aged foundation-building cultivator was none other than Mo Yuanjun, the Mo Mountain expert who had come with Chen Luo. The little girl was Le Qingzhu, one of Chen Luo's few friends.
The two of them are even more unlucky than Mu Jianyu.
As soon as he woke up, he was a slave controlled by someone. Mo Yuanjun was better off, as his body was that of an adult with a foundation-building level. Le Qingzhu was extremely unlucky, as his body was that of a seven or eight-year-old girl, a cauldron trained by an unknown evil cultivator. His level of cultivation was only the third level of Qi Refining. With this level of strength, he was no different from an ordinary person in this time and space eight thousand years ago. He couldn't even use his magical powers, and he couldn't survive more than three days after leaving the market. (End of this chapter)
