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 959: Digging Again

Only the Evergreen Immortal Emperor had gone through the nine-nine tribulations. Although the Black Snake Demon Saint, Immortal Qiu, Zhao Qi and others had crossed the threshold between immortals and mortals and cultivated the way to immortality, they were far from being comparable to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

Their immortal journey has come to an end.

There is no further progress.

But the Evergreen Immortal Emperor is different, he is one of the three most powerful beings standing at the top of the immortal world, and he is the Supreme Immortal Emperor.

This is the difference made by the choice of path. If you take a wrong step in your mortal life, the result will be drastically different when you achieve enlightenment. The Black Snake Demon Saint and others only experienced sixty-nine heavenly tribulations and passed fifty-four heavenly tribulations to become immortals.

It’s not that they don’t want to pursue higher goals, but that they can’t do it.

The nine-nine tribulations are the foundation of the Immortal Emperor.

Each step of the first seven realms must be cultivated to the limit. If you take a wrong step, it will be impossible to cultivate to perfection when you are in the tribulation stage, and it will be impossible to trigger the nine-nine tribulations.

"Brother?"

A shocked voice interrupted Chen Luo's thoughts. I saw a young man wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying a basket of firewood running towards the door in the distance. Behind him was a little girl whose facial features were 70% similar to his.

"Why did you come out!"

The young man looked anxious, with worry written all over his face. The little girl behind him had a look of disgust on her face, and that disgust came from the heart. Chen Luo recognized these two people. It was his younger brother Chen Lin and his younger sister Chen Yao. These two siblings should have been born after their father came to Beijing, but they appeared early and were almost the same age as him.

"It took a lot of effort to get better. If the evil wind enters the brain again, it will be a big trouble."

As he said that, Chen Lin was about to take his brother back into the house. But Chen Luo did not move. He continued to use the brain of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. The brain of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, which used to appear whenever he had a thought, now seemed to have disappeared, and he did not appear after waiting for a long time.

Not only the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, but also high-level brains such as the Black Snake Demon Saint and Qiu Immortal all failed to show up.

Such a strange scene made Chen Luo feel a little uneasy.

'Why didn't any of them show up? '

Looking at his elder brother's frowning expression, Chen Lin immediately knew what his elder brother was doing. He had seen this kind of scene too many times.

Chen Lin quickly put the firewood behind him and put his hands on his eldest brother's shoulders.

"Brother, wake up!! Those are all fake! Dad is dead. If you keep going crazy, my sister and I really can't save you." Chen Lin was in tears. His little sister next to him subconsciously grabbed his hand and looked at Chen Luo with more and more hatred.

crazy?

Chen Luo frowned and said nothing.

This place is so strange and tight that he hasn't found any flaws since he woke up.

"The doctor at the Rejuvenation Center said that you have schizophrenia. You imagine your own 'brain' to be divided into countless parts. You always said before that there are other people's brains in your body, but those are all your imaginations. It's a disease!" As Chen Lin spoke, such a big commotion attracted many people to watch.

After seeing clearly that it was the Chen brothers, the villagers dispersed again.

I just vaguely heard someone sighing.

'He's crazy again. With a brother like this, Chen Lin's life is over. '

"I have a burden down there, and everything costs money. How can I live like this?"

Chen Luo moved aside and took the two of them back to the house.

He knew he was going through a tribulation, but he didn't know how to break it. Without power, he is just an ordinary person. A world is presented before you, and you have no idea how to escape.

Although Chen Lin told him a lot of symptoms of "schizophrenia", Chen Luo didn't believe it at all.

If he is really crazy, then what about his memory?

Now he has almost a photographic memory and can clearly remember everything that happened in the past. This is a characteristic that only appears after surviving a great heavenly tribulation, and even a heavenly tribulation cannot block this characteristic.

"What year is it?"

After Chen Luo sat down, he began to ask some common sense questions.

The first thing he had to do was to confirm whether he had returned to the past. If not, then this world was transformed by the "heavenly tribulation" and he was still under the 80th heavenly tribulation. If it is true, it means that he was pulled back to the past by the green-haired monster and temporarily escaped the great calamity.

No matter which one it is, it will be a big trouble for Chen Luo.

"Thirty-seven years of the Emperor Gan."

Seeing his elder brother start asking normal questions, Chen Lin immediately felt relieved. He began to talk to Chen Luo in detail. The background was still the Yue Kingdom, but there were no Qi Refiners or Immortal Cultivators here. As far as Chen Lin knows, the most powerful force in this world is martial arts.

There are people practicing martial arts in Qingya County. It is said that a strong warrior can break a river and split mountains and rocks with one punch.

"Warrior?"

Chen Luo frowned, confirming that this was not the node for "borrowing from the past". Since it is not "borrowing from the past", then what is this place? Also, what does the green-haired monster mean by "fate"? Is he still in the heavenly tribulation?

One question after another popped up.

"Brother, you take a rest first. There are two pancakes in the pot. I'll ask my little sister to bring them to you later."

Seeing Chen Luo fell into deep thought, Chen Lin did not disturb him. To support the family, he has a lot of things to do and it is impossible for him to sit idle like his elder brother.

No words were spoken that night.

Chen Luo opened his eyes again.

What you can still see is the roof of the old hut. There was a sesame seed bun on the table, with almost no oil or water, and a bowl of water next to it. From this point, it can be seen that the Chen family is really poor now.

Chen Lin and Chen Yao went out early in the morning.

The firewood we collected yesterday must be sent to the county to be sold today. Because Chen Luo was a patient, the brother and sister did not disturb him and let him sleep until dawn.

Bang!

Chen Luo punched the wall, and the recoil force made his arm numb.

The method of breaking the calamity by brute force doesn't work, so we can only think of another way. Now that the external brain has lost contact, we have to start all over again.

Fortunately, he has experience in digging graves.

"First make sure the ability to read the brain is still there."

After changing his clothes, Chen Luo took out a shovel from the cabinet next to him, grabbed the deerskin gloves in the cabinet, closed the door, and walked out without looking back. When the villagers on the road saw him, they all avoided him from a distance and no one dared to approach him and talk to him.

The name of Crazy Chen has spread throughout Chenjia Village.

This saved Chen Luo a lot of trouble as he didn't have to explain anything to others.

After leaving the village, Chen Luo ran straight to the mass grave with a shovel.

The first step he needs to take now is to find a brain. As long as he can get a new brain, he will be able to determine the truth or falsehood of the world and break the natural disaster in a simple and crude way. If that still doesn't work, he can use an external brain to improve his strength. As long as he has enough brain power, he can reach the top in three days. When the time comes, I will be able to break all the laws with one force. No matter what "illusion of heavenly calamity" it is, I will break it with one punch.

Half an hour later.

Chen Luo found the mass grave in his memory. The place had not changed much.

As far as I can remember, this was the place where my uncle first took him to practice. Those buried here are all poor people, and basically no one cares about them. Even if the graves are dug up, no one will come to cause trouble.

The shovel was swung and the soil flew everywhere.

Soon, he dug out a half-rotten corpse.

The bodies in the mass graves were buried with mud, without even straw mats. They would rot beyond recognition after just a few days of being buried underground.

Chen Luo took out a pair of deerskin gloves from his arms and put them on.

He endured the stench and reached out to press it.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.

Ten breaths later, the expression on Chen Luo's face changed. He didn't get any feedback! Chen Luo, who didn't believe in evil, dug several more graves. Finally, when he dug the ninth grave, a familiar interface popped up.

'Found the dead brain, whether to read it. '

Read!

As soon as he thought about it, gray air instantly rushed into his body.

He's actually a martial artist?

After this brain flowed into his body, Chen Luo quickly felt the difference. Because this brain was not damaged, after absorbing it into his body, he was able to access most of the other party's memories.

According to the memory of this brain, he had been practicing martial arts in a yard for most of his life.

The martial arts he practiced was called Eight-Arm Fist. This is a fast boxing style with a total of eight moves. When it is practiced to the highest level, it is like eight arms moving simultaneously, hence the name. This is not some advanced martial art, but this martial artist practiced it for most of his life and never mastered it until his death.

"He was poisoned by his apprentice."

After reading the cause of death, Chen Luo ignored it.

The harvest of a brain gave him a clearer understanding of his situation. Maybe the green-haired monster could not have imagined that Chen Luo had this ability, and his carefully planned "lie" was exposed before it even began.

"This kind of rubbish boxing style can be learned at a glance."

After retrieving the memory, a thought popped up in Chen Luo's mind, exactly the same as the one that Brother Changqing had at the beginning.

This is an instinctive reaction caused by the high perspective.

He raised his right hand according to his memory and performed this set of boxing techniques on the grave.

But in just a few moments, he had mastered the martial arts that the dead martial artist had spent most of his life trying to learn. With this start, Chen Luo easily understood the operating logic of the martial arts here, and on this basis, he revised the Eight-Arm Fist.

With the foundation of boxing, Chen Luo's grave digging speed increased a lot.

Before nightfall, he dug up all the graves he could find in the mass grave and successfully found three usable brains from the corpses. All of these people were martial artists in their lifetime, and the martial arts they practiced were all very popular.

But Chen Luo didn't care. What he needed was to adapt to the power logic of this world.

The three martial arts are boxing, finger techniques and leg techniques.

After Chen Luo learned these martial arts, he modified these three martial arts. The moment he mastered the three martial arts, his frail body became much stronger, and even his height increased significantly. Yesterday he was about the same height as his younger brother Chen Lin, but today he is half a head taller than his younger brother, and his arms and thighs are also thicker.

This is the effect of increasing strength too quickly.

"No matter what that green-haired monster is planning, I don't want to waste my time with him anymore."

Breaking all laws with one force is the path he should take.

Sensing the power in his body, Chen Luo pushed his feet hard, the soil behind him exploded, and he flew towards the direction of Chenjia Village like a cannonball. (End of this chapter)
