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 a few years of getting along, the two went from being strangers to acquaintances.
"I don't know, but it won't be more than half a year at most."
After several years of precipitation, Mu Jianyu's aura has become much more solid, but the decline of her life span is irreversible. Her life span was almost coming to an end long before she came here. After being here for so long, her life has already entered the countdown.
Although he broke through to the Return to Void Realm, Mu Jianyu practiced not the Way of Immortality but the Way of Corpse Immortality.
A breakthrough in the way of corpse immortal does not increase one’s lifespan.
"I will help you find the reincarnation method of the Ancient Sword Sect before this time." Chen Luo summoned out the Life-Borrowing Gu and replenished Mu Jianyu's status.
However, this method can only provide a temporary relief.
The Life-Borrowing Gu is not the Immortality Gu. All the life span it possesses is "borrowed" and it cannot fundamentally change the life span of the practitioner.
"I'm going to go back and take a look."
Mu Jianyu showed a smile on her face. After living for so long, she had let go of many things. Now that the Qionghua Sect had returned to its peak, with Chen Luo, the Taixu Sword Master, around, she didn't have to worry about the future of the Qionghua Sect.
"I've been busy for so long, I want to have a good rest in the last moments. I have something else to say to my senior brother in person, so I won't accompany you anymore."
Mu Jianyu took off the storage bag and placed it in front of Chen Luo.
"These spirit stones are what I saved here. It would be a waste to keep them, so I'm giving them to you as a gift. It's a reward for you protecting the Qionghua Sect."
After saying that, he turned around, waved his hand without waiting for Chen Luo's response, and then disappeared at the end of the long street.
The setting sun shines, and the reflections are picturesque.
Chen Luo stood there, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Mu Jianyu was different from everyone Chen Luo had known before. She had a carefree and unrestrained aura that no one else had, and a decisiveness that only sword cultivators had. Compared to a 'pragmatic' sword cultivator like Zi Tianji, Mu Jianyu was more like an ancient sword cultivator.
She has her own persistence in her heart and it has never changed.
Open the storage bag.
There were more than two hundred high-quality spirit stones and some sword techniques in it. The "Sword Experience" that Chen Luo had given her before was also in it. Chen Luo saw some new words on this experience, which were all written by Mu Jianyu at the back.
"It's just right to take it back and put it in the library at Taixu Peak."
After putting his thoughts into the cave gourd, Chen Luo turned around and returned to the alchemy room.
Unlike Mu Jianyu and the others, Chen Luo has the Cave Heaven Gourd. This gourd used by the Evergreen Immortal Emperor to store wine can help him bring back the things of this era. He will not be like Mu Jianyu and the others, who can neither bring anything here nor take anything back.
Come by 'borrowing' the Way and leave by 'returning' the Way.
Leaves no trace.
The plague beast disaster expanded again. After slaughtering a large number of immortal cultivators, these monsters, which were originally at the level of returning to the void, completely grew into unkillable monsters. The Immortal Dao Alliance was defeated in the battle with the plague beast, and the sphere of influence of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect and the Ancient Sword Sect shrank again.
The barren land where the Great Snow Mountain is located was also occupied by plague beasts, and the surviving cultivators evacuated again.
At this point, nearly half of the realm of the Xiuxian world was occupied by plague beasts. The remaining Xiuxian practitioners fled to the other end of the Xiuxian world and began to think about a way out. Several sects second only to the upper nine sects began to work together to set up the Absolute Heaven Array, using the array to divide the spiritual realm. Some people abandoned their existing assets and fled to the spiritual realm that was defeated by Yang Wusheng and Kunwu, becoming cultivators in the lower realm.
“This era is over.”
Yang Wusheng and Kunwu stood on the edge of the cliff, with the sea of clouds below them rolling and lifting the corners of their clothes. These two mortal enemies who had fought to the death before were now standing on the edge of the spiritual realm and chatting like old friends. They looked down at the cultivators below with indifferent eyes.
"Isn't this something that was destined to happen?"
Yang Wusheng had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were like dead water.
"Everything is destined to happen."
The two of them talked about the biggest secret in the world in a casual tone. Apart from the upper nine sects, there were very few forces in the world of immortal cultivation that had a heritage of more than ten thousand years. Even among the demon race, it was rare to see ten thousand year old demons.
Ten thousand years is a taboo in this world of immortal cultivation.
Only cultivators from the upper nine sects and the immortal race have crossed this threshold.
"Is there something wrong with the magic weapon of your Chunyang Immortal Sect?" Kunwu suddenly asked.
“Nonsense.”
Yang Wusheng didn't even blink.
"The Sixth Ancestor has awakened. Tsk tsk, this is not in the plan. I know that they pay a huge price every time they awaken." Kunwu said gloatingly. There was no trace of the previous "severely injured reincarnation" on his face.
Everything is just external rhetoric.
"Let's worry about your 'Ancient Sword'."
Yang Wusheng left a word and turned to leave the sea of clouds, leaving Kunwu alone, watching him leave with a flickering look in his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Ten years later.
The Plague Beast occupied most of the Immortal Cultivation World, and its strength grew to the middle stage of the Hedao. With its immortality, even the strong men of the Upper Nine Sects holding immortal weapons could not do anything to it. At this point, the Immortal Dao Alliance was completely defeated. The surviving immortal cultivators began to flee for their lives. Some fled to the lower realms, and some split the spiritual realm and fled to the edge of the immortal cultivation world.
Chen Luo is still making the elixir.
Through the infiltration of his clones in multiple ways, he finally found out the secrets related to the immortal weapon, which is also the biggest secret of this era.
The reincarnation method of the upper nine sects!
A long time ago, Chen Luo heard from the Three Ancestors of the Star Sect, Sun, Moon, and Star, that the upper limit of the reincarnation method is three times. No one has ever succeeded in the fourth time, and only the Upper Nine Sects who have mastered the immortal weapon can break this limit. It is precisely because of this rumor that the Three Ancestors of the Sun, Moon, and Star started the "Immortal Weapon Project", which resulted in the semi-immortal hammer in Chen Luo's hand.
But after actually coming into contact with it, Chen Luo discovered that the reincarnation method of the Upper Nine Sects was not as mysterious as he had imagined. In short, it can be summed up in three words.
The weapon becomes spiritual!
These old monsters of the Upper Nine Sects placed their spirits in the immortal artifacts, turning themselves into the spirits of the immortal artifacts. This was a different way to achieve immortality. One benefit of doing so was that it bound themselves to the immortal artifacts. As long as the immortal artifacts were immortal, their spirits would not disappear.
But everything has its pros and cons.
Although this method of the Upper Nine Sects solved the problem of reincarnation to a certain extent, it created new problems.
That means the soul is destroyed.
The power of immortal weapons is incomparable to that of ordinary weapons. If the soul is placed in an immortal weapon, it may be fine for one or two years, but it will inevitably be affected over time. The most intuitive manifestation is the erosion of memory and the dissipation of humanity.
The longer an object becomes a spirit, the less humanity it retains.
In order to solve this problem, the old monsters of the Upper Nine Sects could only delay it by sleeping and sealing. But even so, they could not obtain true immortality and could not live out their tenth life.
Nine lives seemed to be their limit.
The power of immortal weapons is not eternal. The more spirits a weapon carries, the greater the consumption of the immortal weapon. The top leaders of the Upper Nine Sects strictly control the number of reincarnations because of this. The Pure Yang Bell of the Pure Yang Sect had an accident this time because the carrying capacity of the immortal weapon reached its upper limit and needed more immortal spirit energy to replenish it.
The war between the two sects also came from this.
Chen Luo had tried to make the tool spiritual a long time ago.
At that time, he used the method of weapon spirit transformation in the legendary world to avoid the restrictions of the legendary world and successfully sneaked into the demon clan. However, he never expected that this weapon spirit transformation secret technique "created" by Ouyang Lian had been mastered by the Upper Nine Sects as early as 8,000 years ago, and they also used it as a foundation to create their own "reincarnation method".
"Is this considered longevity?"
Looking at the reincarnation method in his hand, Chen Luo was extremely disappointed.
The three brothers in the external brain were full of disdain, especially the elder brother Changqing and the second brother Zhao Qi. They were both immortals who had crossed the threshold between immortal and mortal in their lifetime, and they looked down on this kind of "tricky" method.
"The immortal path of this era is also a detour!"
Chen Luo came to a conclusion.
The spiritual fire in the alchemy furnace next to it gradually faded. The puppet skillfully turned off the fire and opened the furnace, taking out a black pill from it.
Qiu Shui Dan.
Chen Luo had already tested it out three years ago.
The materials contributed by the Dragon King were not wasted, as they provided Chen Luo with a lot of experience in alchemy. Through countless failures, Chen Luo had accumulated a wealth of experience, which, combined with the experience of more than a hundred alchemists in his external brain, produced surprisingly good results.
With such rich experience of failure, it was not surprising that he could refine the Qiu Shui Dan.
Thinking of the Dragon King, Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh.
"What a simple person."
He remembered that the Dragon King had invited him to go with him to the 'despicable human cultivator', and the 'Snow Mountain Ancestor' had even received the deposit, but he didn't expect that the person would be 'dead' in the blink of an eye. It can only be said that cooperation has risks, and when looking for a partner, one must look for someone as reliable as him.
The spiritual realm in the extreme north of the world of immortal cultivation.
The Dragon King, the Nine-tailed Fox and several other old demons gathered together to discuss the plan to divide the spiritual realm.
Suddenly, as if with telepathy, the Dragon King turned around and looked behind him.
"how?"
The nine-tailed fox next to him frowned.
She was talking about a matter concerning the survival of the entire demon race, but the initiator, the Jiaolong King, was distracted, which made her very dissatisfied. She knew the current situation of the immortal cultivation world better than anyone else. Unlike the upper nine sects that possessed immortal artifacts, if the demon race wanted to survive, they had to make a decision early. Divide the spiritual realm in advance before the plague beasts came.
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered a dog thief."
The Dragon King withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes again.
In his heart, he silently cursed the guy who had cheated him out of countless spiritual materials.
"I told you a long time ago that there was something wrong with that guy, but you still didn't believe it."
The pig demon next to him said gloatingly.
He had heard about the Dragon King being cheated out of all his savings. He heard that this guy gave all the spiritual medicines he had accumulated for thousands of years to the swindler. The other party used up all the spiritual medicines and refined a bunch of messy poison pills for him. It was because of this poison pill that his subordinate Crab General ate it that he became mute.
"Shut up!"
The veins on the Dragon King's forehead bulged, and anyone could tell that he was in a bad mood.
Hey!
The pig demon was not angry. He laughed and sat back down, continuing to discuss the escape plan. (End of this chapter)
