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...
Chapter 866 Current Situation and Dilemma
There are many strong people in the Winged People Clan. As a top clan with Mahayana monks, ordinary forces dare not provoke them. The Nine Tomb Guarding Clans are also at this level. Like the Mahayana clans, they have strong people in the clan and immortal artifacts, making them a very suitable target for scapegoating.
"That's about it."
Looking at the scene swept by Ke Zhenbei's sword energy, Chen Luo nodded with satisfaction, then switched the breath of the butterfly demon clan in his external brain, and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
He just came here to help.
Now that I have finished my work, it is natural for me to leave as soon as possible.
Not long after Chen Luo left, a vortex appeared again above the Shenmu Forest. Three powerful Winged People came over from a distance, and after seeing the scene of the Shenmu Forest below clearly, their faces darkened.
"Yikong's aura has disappeared."
A Winged Man warrior found the soul fire left by a Winged Man elder who had died before in the mud below. A Winged Man elder bent down and picked up a stone. The stone did not change on the surface, but the internal structure had been burned out. With just a light touch of his finger, the stone collapsed like tofu and turned into a pile of white ash.
The Nine-Colored Soul Fire is Elder Yikong's life-threatening magical power. Even this magical power has been used, so one can imagine what will happen to Elder Yikong.
"The sword energy of the Hedao level has the power of a magic weapon remaining."
The elder on the right discovered a residual sword mark nearby. Although the other party had dealt with it, it still could not escape his spiritual perception.
"It's the sword energy of the Ancient Sword Sect."
This result made all three of them frown.
The Nine Tomb Guarding Clans are a group that many forces in the Immortal Cultivation World are unwilling to provoke. They guard the forbidden area of the Emperor's Tomb and never interact with people from the outside world. There are countless strong people in the Nine Clans, and there are immortal weapons to suppress them. Even a Mahayana clan like the Winged People will feel difficult when facing the Nine Tomb Guarding Clans.
“Will there be any problems?”
An elder of the Winged People asked.
If this matter is not handled properly, it may have a huge impact on their Winged People. Forces of this level, such as the Nine Tomb Guarding Clans, generally will not easily start a war.
"Whether it's them or not, the Ancient Sword Sect must give us an explanation for this matter."
The leading elder of the Winged People walked over, reached out and put a stone containing the sword energy of the Ancient Sword Sect into his pocket.
Here is the evidence.
Outsiders cannot imitate it. The magical powers of the Nine Tomb Guarding Clans are never passed on to outsiders. This is something everyone knows. In the eyes of the Winged Clan elders, even if this matter was not done by the sword cultivators of the Ancient Sword Sect, it must have something to do with them.
Truth is important, but face is more important.
An elder at the peak of the Hedao realm has died. If the Winged People do not react, the independent cultivators from the immortal cultivation world will surround them like hyenas and devour them completely.
After taking a look at the completely destroyed sacred forest around them, the three of them turned around and followed the whirlpool back to their tribe without any intention of staying. As for the dead butterfly monsters, the three Winged People tribe elders never even looked at them. They were just some low-ranking servants responsible for planting trees, and their lives were as cheap as ants. After a few years when the sacred forest grows well, they will go to their tribe to select a few more responsible persons.
After leaving the area where the Butterfly Demon Clan lived, it took Chen Luo more than half a month to return to the area where the Eternal Night Valley was located.
There are still about 590 years before the opportunity to become an immortal comes.
When the opportunity comes, those hidden old monsters will definitely appear. Ge Xian, Kuishan, the old monsters of the Nine Tomb Guarding Clans, the Winged Clan Mahayana, and the Lord of the Eternal Night Valley and the Blood Demon. These people will definitely have a shocking battle at that time.
No one is willing to give up the opportunity to become an immortal.
If you want to avoid becoming cannon fodder, relying solely on the strength of the Hedao realm is definitely not enough.
Immortal cultivators who have not experienced a great calamity cannot even "see" people, let alone compete with them.
When going through the tribulation, immortals and mortals are separated forever.
If you want to jump out, the most important thing is strength.
Chen Luo's next goal is to improve his cultivation to the Tribulation Realm, at least he must be able to "see" the enemy. With the Soul Nurturing Wood, he can speed up his "soul refining". He does not plan to go back to the Eternal Night Valley for the time being, the Valley Master has already explained it before leaving. After getting the resources, he has the right to choose first. Since it is a priority selection, it is not too much to choose eleven or twelve roots, right?
After a tour of the surrounding mountains, Chen Luo chose a relatively remote sect to live in. With the help of the Illusion God Gu, he sneaked in quietly. No one in the sect doubted him, the ancestor of the "Must-Death Pass".
"I don't know how the Winged People will deal with this matter. Senior Ge and Kuishan haven't responded for so long."
Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Chen Luo carefully thought about everything he had experienced since leaving the Emperor's Tomb.
First, he was hunted by the Nine Tomb Guarding Clans. Then, in order to get rid of the Ancient Sword Sect's "Soul Chasing Mirror", he thought of some ways. In the meantime, he went to Lingxu Cave Heaven and Wanxiang Immortal Sect and worked as the ancestor of the immortal sect for a while. Then, there was Yongye Valley and the Butterfly Demon Clan. He ran around aimlessly.
It was not until I joined Evernight Valley that I felt stable.
Through the channel of Eternal Night Valley, he learned more secret information.
The deeper he understood, the more he could feel the dangers of the outside world of immortal cultivation. The real strong ones almost never showed up in the open. Those who stood on the surface were all immortal cultivators in the Return to Void and He Dao realms. These people were not weak, but none of them could be Chen Luo's opponent.
The only one who got a glimpse of the corner was the traitor Blood Demon mentioned by Enemy.
That was also the only strong man beyond the Hedao realm that Chen Luo had come into contact with since he left the Emperor's Tomb. Fortunately, the enthusiastic ancestor of the Winged People helped him and took on this big problem.
"It all comes down to strength."
Chen Luo focused his mind and simplified the complex problem.
No matter what these people were planning in secret, he was not going to follow their arrangements. The opportunity to become an immortal was a net, and everyone was in the net. Chen Luo didn't know who was casting the net in secret, nor did he know his plan.
His goal from the beginning to the end was very firm, which was to achieve immortality and become an immortal.
If he wanted to avoid being treated as trash and liquidated in this chaotic situation, the easiest way to break the situation was to open up a path with his strength. As long as he was strong enough, he could suppress all conspiracies like the Emperor's Tomb World.
The world of immortal cultivation will not stop operating because of the disappearance of one person, nor will it change because of the rise of one person.
Not long after Chen Luo went into seclusion, the Winged People came to find the Ancient Sword Sect.
No one knows what the two sides talked about. Afterwards, they eased their relationship. The Ancient Sword Sect donated a large amount of forbidden spiritual materials to the Winged People, and the Winged People also gave back a large amount of sword-making materials to the Ancient Sword Sect.
Chen Luo's plan to divert the trouble to others did not succeed.
Instead, the names of the three of them as "evil spirits in the forbidden zone" spread quietly under the joint efforts of the two major forces.
The evil spirits in the forbidden area of the Emperor’s Tomb!
This name made many immortal cultivators feel uneasy. When the Lord of the Eternal Night Valley rose to power, he had disrupted the entire immortal cultivation world with his own strength, causing a catastrophe, and even one of the top tribes fell. Now that three forbidden area demons have suddenly appeared, the impact they bring may be even greater.
Many people clamored to slay demons and eliminate evil!
The sound was very loud.
But unfortunately, the world of immortal cultivation has never been a monolithic entity.
Although the demons in the forbidden area of the Emperor's Tomb are dangerous, they are obviously not as dangerous as the Blood Demon Sect that is beginning to revive in various places. When the Blood Demon swept the world in the past, many sects suffered disasters. Compared with the invisible demons in the forbidden area, everyone is more concerned about the visible enemies in front of them, and they are afraid that the Blood Demon Sect will revive.
Half a year later.
Chen Luo woke up from his retreat.
He absorbed most of the soul power of the twelve soul-nourishing trees. This absorption was like swallowing a whole apple, first absorbing all the soul power into the body, and then distributing it to more than a thousand brains to refine them in stages.
The token left to him by the Lord of Yongye Valley in the demon world lit up once during his retreat.
Looking at the last soul-nourishing wood in his hand, Chen Luo ended his retreat.
After returning to the Eternal Night Valley, Chen Luo threw the Soul Nurturing Wood to Mu Yin, and then met with the Valley Master again. The Valley Master did not mention Chen Luo's "priority" in choosing the Soul Nurturing Wood, but instead introduced him to several fellows from other restricted areas. These people had different appearances, some were men and some were women, and two of them were not even human. When they saw Chen Luo, they all looked alert, and did not relax their vigilance because of his identity as a "forbidden area demon".
Chen Luo didn't care either.
His purpose in making friends with these people was not pure.
After paying a certain amount of benefits, he successfully exchanged the method of entering the restricted area from these fellow Taoists in the restricted area.
The third restricted area is located in the territory of the Xinghai Clan and is the closest restricted area to the Eternal Night Valley.
There are still 598 years left before the "Opportunity to Become an Immortal". Chen Luo plans to take this opportunity to go to the third restricted area to dig some local specialties. This time of seclusion made him feel a little tired.
More than a thousand external brains are obviously not enough.
The gap between the Hedao realm and the Hedao realm is too huge. Even with the help of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, he has no way to break through the realm quickly.
Soul refining is a very long process. For cultivators, the strength of their souls is accumulated over time. There is no strong person in the Hedao realm whose life span is less than 3,000 years. Even the genius among geniuses has gone through two reincarnations to reach this level. There is no one like Chen Luo who has been in Hedao for more than 600 years in the entire world of cultivation.
Accumulation of spirit and soul.
The Soul-Nourishing Tree helped Chen Luo accumulate a large amount of soul power. It would take at least eight hundred years to digest this soul power. For other Hedao cultivators, eight hundred years to improve their realm was something they only dreamed of, but it was obviously too slow for Chen Luo, and the most important thing was that he could not catch up with the catastrophe that would come more than five hundred years later.
So Chen Luo thought of a way.
If quality isn’t enough, make up for it with quantity!
Since more than a thousand brains are not enough, then use two thousand or three thousand! It just so happens that he hasn't stretched the capacity of the external brain to the upper limit for a long time, so he is ready to take this opportunity to make a big deal.
Dig a thousand graves first.
