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...
If the secret method is leaked, it can be retrieved. If it cannot be retrieved, the source can be cut off by using a catastrophe to cleanse the realm. But the Emperor's Tomb is different. This is an area that the immortals have not explored clearly. The Emperor's Tomb contains the "Emperor's Law", which is something that the immortals in the upper realm are excited about.
"You want to learn?"
Chen Luo's mouth corners slightly raised.
He showed this skill in order to lure Zi Ruyi into the trap. This immortal woman had a mysterious origin, and Chen Luo had left a mark on her since they met. His skills were all imitated from Ge Xian, and with Zi Ruyi's cultivation and realm, she would never be able to detect it.
"think."
Zi Ruyi also saw Chen Luo's purpose, but she had no choice.
Now that the Flower-backed Turtle has Chen Luo, a great master of the Dao, behind him, it is definitely not feasible to force him. Since there is no way to destroy him, then cooperate. This is how the Immortal Clan and the Upper Nine Sects coexisted in the past.
"Use Yang Lei Fa to exchange."
"I can't make the decision on this matter. Yang Lei Fa involves some secrets."
Zi Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to agree.
She didn't dare to take the risk of expelling the clan members from the clan if she privately passed on the Yang Lei Fa. Unlike the Upper Nine Sects, the Immortal Clan was a cultivation force that relied on blood inheritance as its core. All the cultivators in the clan were descendants of the Immortal Clan's ancestors. Unless these descendants of the bloodline broke through to the He Dao realm and merged with the heaven and earth, they would all be suppressed by the ancestors.
"secret?"
Chen Luo looked at Zi Ruyi and noticed the key point in her words.
This time Zi Ruyi did not answer.
She didn't know Chen Luo's background, but as long as he could achieve the state of integration, there must be someone behind him. She could also reveal a little about the secrets below the state of integration.
Bang!
The two puppets digging over there finally dug something up, and the noise attracted the two people over. The two puppets dug out two large iron boxes from the black mud. This scene cheered up Chen Luo, because he had used these two boxes to store the Blood God Son and his body eight thousand years ago.
"How do you know there are two boxes here?"
Zi Ruyi was very curious about everything in the Emperor's Tomb. According to the immortals' classics, the Emperor's Tomb was the most dangerous place in the entire immortal world. When the Emperor's Tomb fell, it smashed through the entire immortal world. The most powerful sect at that time disappeared because of the fall of the Emperor's Tomb.
That era was the craziest era in the Emperor’s Tomb.
The upper nine sects, the immortals, and all the immortals above the Nascent Soul stage all ran to the Emperor's Tomb. Everyone wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Emperor's Tomb and explore the secrets of becoming an immortal. Unfortunately, those people never came out after rushing into the Emperor's Tomb. This caused the inheritance of the immortal world at that time to be cut off for a time, and only a few crazy people from their immortals escaped back.
Since then, the emperor's tomb has become a forbidden area.
In the endless years that followed, almost every once in a while a sect would go to explore the emperor's tomb, but all of these sects, like the cultivators before them, disappeared without a trace.
The emperor's tomb is still the emperor's tomb.
None of the people who disappeared came back.
“I guessed it.”
Chen Luo replied casually.
The puppet skillfully pried open the lock of the iron box. This thing was made by Chen Luo himself, and the array patterns and restrictions on it required his own breath to open.
After a sound of metal friction, a board of the iron box was successfully pried open.
Before the two of them could get close, a strong stench floated out from inside. The puppet responsible for opening the box shook twice, and the color on its body faded visibly. It turned into a bunch of rotten wood and fell to the ground.
Bang!
The puppet fell to pieces.
Chen Luo and Zi Ruyi both took a step back. Especially Zi Ruyi, she took out the small bronze mirror again.
"Why not?"
After the breath dissipated, Chen Luo walked forward to check.
The box was empty. The spirit stones and the corpse of the Blood God Son left behind 8,000 years ago had all turned into black, sticky poisonous blood. The other box containing the body was also empty. There was nothing inside. This made Chen Luo very disappointed. He couldn't help but doubt whether the time and space that "Jie Gu" went to was real.
There is no answer to this question.
Maybe Ge Xian knew something, but he definitely wouldn't tell Chen Luo.
"Senior, are you looking for something?" Zi Ruyi waited for a moment, and seeing that Chen Luo was still studying the iron box, she asked again.
"I buried a little thing here before, but it's gone now." Chen Luo answered her question this time.
But when Zi Ruyi heard this, it had a completely different meaning. Something buried here before? How long ago was this?
"It turns out to be the old monster who has been reincarnated!"
Zi Ruyi instantly confirmed her guess. Only this kind of old monster who had reincarnated and cultivated again could reach the Hedao realm. There was no Hedao method in the current world of immortal cultivation, and it was impossible for the immortal cultivators of this era to break through to the Hedao realm. The only explanation was that this person had broken through the Hedao realm in his previous life, and it was an era when the heaven and earth allowed Hedao cultivators to exist.
"The formation of the Emperor's Tomb is alive. Everything buried underground will be moved to another place in due time."
Zi Ruyi expressed her guess.
Alive?
Chen Luo was somewhat puzzled. He had come to this emperor's tomb countless times, but he had never heard that the formation in the tomb had its own life. Even the brains of the formation masters in his mind had no concept of it. This was a formation inheritance beyond his cognition.
"This is a secret that only seventh-level formation masters know. Senior is not a formation master, so it is normal that you don't understand the secret." Zi Ruyi didn't know that Chen Luo also understood formations.
It is just a simple explanation of the 'active' formation from the perspective of a formation master.
"Are you a seventh-level formation master?"
Chen Luo suddenly asked, his eyes looking at Zi Ruyi's forehead. He inexplicably felt that this girl's head was a little round, the kind of "round" that "fate" represents.
"Of course not! The things I'm talking about are all recorded in the clan's library."
Zi Ruyi did understand formations, but her attainment in formations was only at the fourth level, which was still a long way from the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, not to mention the seventh level formation master who was equal to the Hehe Dao cultivators.
"That's a pity."
A hint of regret flashed across Chen Luo's eyes.
If this woman's formation attainment reached the seventh level, coupled with the Yang Lei method on her body, it would be enough for him to take a risk. But now, it is better to let the person go back first, and then visit their tribe after finding out the entrance to the immortal clan.
Yang Lei Immortal Clan.
Worth a look.
"The art of formations is too complicated. I have been a fourth-level formation master for more than 700 years, but I have not yet reached the threshold of a fifth-level formation master, let alone a breakthrough."
The two chatted for a while.
Chen Luo dug a few more places, and only stopped digging after he was sure that the things buried eight thousand years ago had disappeared. This was also his attempt to borrow from the past.
"You can go now."
Chen Luo did not keep Zi Ruyi, he also wanted to let this woman go back to help him lead the way.
"Thank you, senior."
Zi Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was fighting the flower-backed turtle before, she had once fallen into an illusion. The feeling at that time was exactly the same as reality, and she had no idea where the enemy was.
The source of that power must be Chen Luo.
Although Chen Luo did not attack her again, Zi Ruyi still felt unsafe. The reason why she cooperated so well was largely because she knew the situation.
When he stood at the exit of the Dragon Tomb again, Zi Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.
The few Qi Refining Realm cultivators who were standing at the entrance before had gone somewhere unknown, and the leading Foundation Establishment cultivator entered the Dragon Tomb. At the side of the entrance, leaning against the wall, lay a dried corpse whose lifespan had run out.
This is basically the fate of all foundation-building monks who explore the emperor's tomb.
Zi Ruyi crushed the jade talisman in his hand.
The cross-border channel lights up.
Zi Ruyi's body was blurred for a moment, and a guiding light descended from the sky, covering her body and rising rapidly. This trip to the Tiannan Region changed Zi Ruyi's original purpose. A strange Hedao monk appeared in the place where the emperor's tomb was located. This secret was enough for her to make up for her mistakes.
Not to mention that this person also knows many secrets of the emperor's tomb. Once this discovery is reported back to the clan, it will definitely attract the attention of the half-crazy ancestor.
Perhaps this lineage of theirs could take this opportunity to return to the core of the family.
When Zi Ruyi opened her eyes again, she had returned to the upper realm. This was not the cave where her clan lived, but a transit realm.
"Aunt Zi."
As soon as Zi Ruyi appeared, people came to greet her. After seeing Zi Ruyi's face, all of them showed expressions of awe.
Venerable Fanxu.
Even among the immortals, he is a second-generation descendant.
Apart from the top ancestors, Zi Ruyi is the strongest person standing at the top.
"The Hui people's formation has been prepared for you."
"Wait a moment."
Zi Ruyi walked out of the teleportation array, ignoring the puzzled looks of others, and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
A moment later, she landed on a red stone mountain. The edges of the stone were very sharp, and the color of the stone was as bright as coral. Thunder would occasionally fall from the sky, striking the stones, and streaking circles of bright white lightning.
On the middle of the mountain wall, there is a circular cave more than two meters high. This cave is the thunder-washing cave left by the Zi family of the immortal clan. It can check the traces on the immortal cultivators and ensure that the clan members walking outside will not be calculated by others.
Zi Ruyi walked into the cave and placed her hand on a stone.
A layer of purple lightning arcs escaped from the stone, spreading along her arms and quickly throughout her body.
"Really no backup plan?"
After checking her own condition and making sure there were no hidden dangers, Zi Ruyi finally relaxed completely. She didn't expect Chen Luo to really let her go. This old monster who has lived for who knows how many years is really hard to figure out.
The lightning faded and Zi Ruyi slowly withdrew his right hand.
On the back of her right hand, a golden mark the size of a mung bean was flashing. Strangely, Zi Ruyi seemed to be blind and completely ignored the existence of this mark.
"Senior Ge's seal method is still very useful."
Chen Luo, standing on the platform, withdrew his perception and smiled. (End of this chapter)
