I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

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 873 Clues

"There must be a large tomb in the third restricted area."

Chen Luo raised his arm. This clone of his was transformed by the Illusion God Gu using flesh and blood. After absorbing the turbid spiritual power of the third restricted area, dense snake scales grew on his body. This was also the result of him transferring most of the polluted spiritual power to the Corpse Control Gu. If it had absorbed all of it, it would probably have turned into a snake monster by now.

'The breath of the demon race.'

"Strange monsters remain."

Several demon brains in the external brain are also analyzing the differences in this spiritual power, trying to infer the location of the source based on the changes in pollution.

Chen Luo came to this third restricted area just to dig graves.

Now that we have prepared for so long, it is time to go down the mountain and start digging.

Wen Yi and his two siblings had not returned, so Chen Luo left a mark on them that could sense their whereabouts remotely. If an ancient tomb was discovered, he could also ensure that he would rush there as soon as possible.

"Let's go."

Chen Luo said something to the corpse-controlling insect lying on the ground beside him.

The huge poisonous insect stood up immediately.

Snap!

The body fell to the ground, and the sickle-like legs and feet all sank into the ground. The corpse-controlling insect tried to move its feet, but no matter where it moved, its feet would sink into the ground. The hard bluestone floor was as fragile as tofu to the corpse-controlling insect.

The corpse-controlling insect, which had never experienced such a scene, was a little confused for a moment.

"idiot."

Chen Luo kicked it in disgust, and then he waved his sleeves. The bull-sized corpse-controlling insect's body immediately began to shrink, and finally turned into a black light and flew into his sleeves.

After collecting the corpse-controlling Gu, Chen Luo closed the door of the hut and officially went down the mountain to look for a grave.

The market at the foot of the mountain is as prosperous as ever.

The people living here didn't know what the Gu Master on the mountain was like, they just lived their lives simply. Just like a belief, Chen Luo didn't disturb these people, let alone change their living habits.

I walked around the market for half a day, bought some drinks, and then left.

Ever since the last heart demon calamity, Chen Luo has taken to drinking, and he drinks a little whenever he has free time. He doesn't need to drink any fine liquor, just ordinary alcoholic beverages.

A few days later.

On a country road, a donkey was moving slowly forward. On its back lay a person who seemed to be asleep. An old straw hat covered his face, and his body swayed slowly with the ups and downs of the donkey.

This person is Chen Luo.

After he came down the mountain, he went to Bamboo Valley. He originally wanted to ask Chu Hong for some information, but when he got there, he found that Chu Hong had been gone for a long time. Not only Chu Hong, but also his second brother Zhong Shan was the same. Even Dong Ping's third brother Sima Mo, whom he hated the most, was gone.

Chen Luo doesn’t have many friends in this world, and Dong Ping, the external brain, is also a taciturn person.

Without the same-level Gu Masters to communicate with, this world was completely unfamiliar to him.

This road leads to Junior Sister Qi Chan’s home.

The last time they practiced the Insect Sutra together, Qi Chan told him the address of her home. Chen Luo planned to go to his junior sister to get some information. At least he had to know where the Gu Masters were active and whether there were any old masters who had been buried underground for hundreds or thousands of years and no one cared about them.

As sunset approached, Chen Luo finally arrived at the city where his junior sister Qi Chan lived.

Compared to the small town at the foot of the mountain protected by Dong Ping, the city protected by Qi Chan was obviously much larger, and the people inside were also very energetic. Some shops with the name of Gu Master were operating, and the currency for transactions was a kind of white stone.

Chen Luo sensed Qi Chan's aura on these stones, and thought that these stones were made and released by her.

The donkey stopped in front of a luxurious mansion. Chen Luo walked up and knocked on the door knocker.

Since you are here to visit, you naturally have to go through the main entrance.

"It's Master Dong!!"

The doorman opened the door a crack, and when he saw Chen Luo's face clearly, he immediately exclaimed.

Soon, there was a sound of tidying up in the courtyard, and then the middle door opened, and a middle-aged man in butler's clothes came out quickly.

"I didn't know Mr. Dong was coming to visit. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

As Qi Chan's fourth senior brother, Dong Ping's face naturally remembered everyone clearly. Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Chen Luo soon arrived at the place where Qi Chan was practicing in seclusion.

"Fourth Brother? You've come out of seclusion so soon!"

Seeing Chen Luo coming in from outside, Qi Chan hurried over to greet him. Compared to Chen Luo's thatched cottages, Qi Chan's place was much more luxurious. The luxurious courtyard, the exquisite landscape, and even the paintings on the stone walls were specially painted by someone.

From the previous situation outside the city, it can be seen that Qi Chan cares very much about the people she protects, which is two extremes from her third senior brother Sima Mo.

"I have gained a little. I came here this time to ask you something."

Chen Luo didn't waste any time. After sitting down, he went straight to the point and asked.

"Do you know where there are powerful ancient corpses? A tomb will do, the more powerful the better." This was the main reason why Chen Luo chose the corpse-controlling Gu. With the reputation of the corpse-controlling Gu, many things can be done aboveboard.

"Powerful Ancient Corpse"

Qi Chan was stunned for a moment, then thought of the corpse-controlling insect that Chen Luo had refined.

"Most of us Gu Masters die without an intact body. Occasionally there are some that die naturally, but their bodies are taken away by the younger generations to feed the insects." Qi Chan thought for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

"I know someone who definitely knows the information you want, brother."

Compared to Dong Ping, who was a taciturn person, Qi Chan was undoubtedly much more well-informed. After the two of them left the house, they stopped in front of a low tile-roofed house after walking a few steps.

Qi Chan walked forward and knocked on the door gently.

"Senior Bi, please open the door."

Chen Luo looked around and found that the street was very dilapidated. He did not sense any strong people when he scanned with his spiritual sense. There was indeed a person in the house, but there was no spiritual power fluctuation on this person. He was just an ordinary person.

Squeak

The wooden door opened.

In the dim room, an old man with white hair was curled up in front of the stove. There was an unburned firewood in the stove, and the firelight flickered on his face.

"Isn't this Lord Qi Chan? How come you have time to come here today?"

Seeing the two people coming in, the old man in the house didn't even raise his eyelids. He said polite words but didn't move his butt. Even the action of opening the door was pulled by a rope.

Qi Chan didn't get angry. He walked forward and found two benches to sit on.

"I want to find some places with the remains of strong people, preferably tombs, the more the better." After Qi Chan sat down, he stated Chen Luo's request in a few words and also added a quantity requirement.

Tomb?

The old man's eyes turned around and fell on Chen Luo next to him.

"There is only one place where the strong are buried, but I don't recommend you go there." The old man was halfway through his words when he suddenly fell silent. He seemed to have recalled some bad memories and was in a trance.

Chen Luo and Qi Chan watched quietly at the side without urging anyone.

After waiting for a long time, the old man finally calmed down.

“When people get old, they tend to lose focus.”

The old man said this with self-mockery.

"Where?"

Qi Chan was also very curious.

Although she is an insect master, her cultivation is too weak. She is protected by her senior sister Chu Hong and second senior brother Zhong Shan, and knows very little about the world of Gu masters.

“Sea area.”

The old man did not keep anyone in suspense and directly told everyone the news he knew.

"This place is not a secret. As long as you become a worm master, you will naturally come into contact with it." After saying this, the old man told the two about the relationship between the sea and the land, and emphasized the power of the sea monsters.

"Sea area?"

Chen Luo instantly perked up.

Before he entered the third restricted area, he bought a lot of information about the sea area. The fellow from Yongye Valley was a sea monster. According to his description, there were many sea beasts' skeletons in the sea area, all of which were abandoned in the trenches and no one cared about them. His goal this time was to get these sea beasts' skeletons, and the tentative target was one thousand.

"How come I've never heard of it? I've been to the border, and there's only a desert."

When Chen Luo first arrived at this place, he went to the border and searched with his spiritual sense, but found no trace of the sea.

"You can't find it by normal means. The sea is located in the void. If you want to go to the sea, you must have the key to the sea's breath, and you also need to go to the seawall."

After the old man finished speaking, he took out a stone from his arms and handed it to Chen Luo.

"I'll give it to you."

A dark red diamond-shaped crystal stone. The moment Chen Luo held the stone, he immediately felt the rich water spirit. The world in his eyes was distorted like an illusion, and the source of the pollution that he had been unable to find before was immediately locked in the direction.

Legend world!

Chen Luo immediately figured out the whole thing.

No wonder I couldn't find it before. It turns out that this place also has a place similar to the "Legendary Realm". Moreover, the Legendary Realm here is very different from the Legendary Realm in the Imperial Tomb Forbidden Area. Its barrier is more solid. With Chen Luo's previous means, he couldn't sense it before.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Luo accepted the crystal and gave the old man some money.

All this money was taken from Qi Chan. The order of this city was set by Qi Chan, so some money was naturally not a problem.

"Old Bi was also a Gu Master before, but his Gu worm died and his cultivation was destroyed by his enemies. I took him in, and I would come to him to ask for advice when I had nothing to do."

On the way back, Qi Chan and Chen Luo introduced the old man's identity.

A discarded Gu Master.

This kind of person is not uncommon in the cultivation world. Where there are people, there are disputes, and the same is true for Gu Masters.

"No matter what, he has helped me a lot. If I encounter difficulties in the future, I hope that Junior Sister can help me." Chen Luo was in a good mood after finding the way to the sea.

After going around in circles, the plan finally got on track.

“It’s natural.”

Qi Chan nodded, then asked again with some concern.

"Brother, are you going to the sea now? Isn't that too risky?"

"I'll go find two corpses and come back."

Naturally, Chen Luo couldn't tell Qi Chan his true purpose. The sea was very dangerous for people like them, but for him, it was a place of opportunity.

As for the "danger" mentioned by the old man, in Chen Luo's opinion, it was all "brain".

The kind that can kill immediately!

"Why don't we wait until Senior Sister and the others come back?"

Qi Chan was still a little worried. She and Dong Ping were the weakest among the five brothers. Now the eldest sister and the second brother were not there, the third brother was missing, and the fourth brother Chen Luo was going to the sea again, which made her feel a little uneasy.
