Half a year later.
A large pile of ashes from the burning talisman paper and densely packed black insect corpses fell on the edge of the platform. Even the evil souls in the soul-guiding banner had been mostly consumed, leaving only a few fine main souls.
After countless trial and error, Chen Luo finally found a feasible method.
At 3:30 pm, the formation will have a conversion node, which is connected to the platform where Chen Luo is sitting now. This makes a gap appear on the formation that originally had no loopholes, and it is much easier to destroy it from the inside than from the outside.
At that time, the strong man from Baixian Cave led countless formation masters from the outside world to break the formation, but finally returned in failure.
Chen Luo started from the inside, which was equivalent to turning himself into a part of the formation. It was like two armies fighting each other. When facing the outside, the formation was mixed and unified, with countless platforms connected to each other, and the power was gathered to deal with external damage. But it was not possible to attack the inside, because each of these platforms was a part of the formation, and moving from one platform to another was like transferring internally, and the difficulty was completely different from cracking it from the outside.
"There is only one last step left."
Chen Luo returned to the tomb, apologized to the old mummy brother, and dipped the talisman pen into the lamp oil. Then he took out a few blank talisman papers and drew the runes of the Breath-Suppressing Talisman on them with the lamp oil.
As the rune was completed, a mysterious aura emanated from the paper.
"It really works. As expected, I still have to use my own methods when I get home."
Chen Luo showed a satisfied expression on his face. This method was thought up by the mummy's brain and was unexpectedly useful. Standing up, Chen Luo did not stop this time. He pasted the two talismans on himself, and an aura exactly the same as that in the tomb emerged from him.
Waiting for the time, at the moment of three quarters of the morning, Chen Luo raised his foot and stepped on the restriction on the left.
There is emptiness under my feet.
The pitch-black nothingness is bottomless.
Chen Luo also raised his other foot and stepped on the restriction. The moment his foot touched the restriction, the surrounding restrictions seemed to come alive and began to emit a layer of silver-gray light. The light emerged from the bottom of the silk thread and spread outward like a living thing, finally wrapping up Chen Luo.
"These array patterns are alive. They can determine the aura."
A sense of enlightenment arose in Chen Luo's mind.
He clearly felt that his formation realm had been elevated. He was no longer a bystander who could only use the brain of a fourth-level formation master, but had become the main body. This feeling was the same as before when he was refining pills and drawing talismans. The external brain became his assistant.
Stepping on the restriction, Chen Luo began to move forward slowly.
Every step here has been tried by him thousands of times.
After seven steps, Chen Luo finally stepped onto the third platform. The moment his feet touched the ground, the restrictions behind him dissipated and disappeared into thin air again.
Sensing a platform that was completely different from the previous two, Chen Luo took a deep breath.
Aura!
He sensed rich spiritual energy on this platform, with an intensity equivalent to that of a third-order spiritual vein, which was something the previous two platforms did not have.
"Brother, I come to see you again."
Standing there, Chen Luo carefully analyzed this platform and found that this platform was somewhat different from the previous two platforms. The position of the tomb chamber was slightly offset. This offset was very subtle. If Chen Luo did not have the level of a fourth-level array master, it would be impossible to find this subtle difference.
Everything else was the same, with smooth ground and heavy tomb door.
There are no restrictions within the platform.
Chen Luo walked to the side of the tomb, stretched out his hand and exerted some strength, and the heavy tomb door was pushed open by him. Inside the tomb, just like the two platforms in front, there was a dried-up corpse sitting cross-legged. The expression, behavior, and even the number of hair roots were exactly the same.
After entering the tomb, Chen Luo looked around. His eyes suddenly stopped when they passed the oil lamp in the corner.
"What's this?"
He walked over and took a closer look, and found a row of small words under the oil lamp.
'The myriad ways of Taoism all come down to yin and yang.'
'Those with immortal bodies can transform into a thousand forms and be reborn with a drop of blood. With their bodies, they can cross the sea of suffering and remain immortal. Those with eternal spirits can cast off the shackles of the body and focus on cultivating their spirits. They can travel the world with their spirits and be free and unfettered. On the river of ghosts, chant my name and remember my true form. If anyone remembers it, I will return.'
Flesh?
Soul?
Chen Luo read this sentence twice and saw two paths here.
The first is the limit of physical cultivation, which allows one to be indestructible for all eternity, and to cross the sea of suffering with one's physical body, even if the heaven and earth are indestructible. The second is the limit of Dharma cultivation, which focuses on the spirit and soul. Even if the body is destroyed, the soul remains, and as long as someone remembers it, it can return from memory.
These two paths are very similar to the current spiritual practice world.
Physical cultivation, magic cultivation and sword cultivation.
Physical cultivation and Dharma cultivation correspond to two paths.
The third sword cultivation path can also be included. In the later stages of the sword cultivation path, there are two types. One type focuses on the sword body, where the person is the "sword" and emphasizes "the man is the sword and the sword is the man". The second type focuses on the sword intent, where the sword intent is immortal and the sword energy lasts forever.
Body and law.
When both are cultivated to the limit, they will become immortal beings.
But what does this sentence mean? Could it be that Brother Mummy reached this level before his death? Or maybe he died in the process of reaching these two levels.
Several thoughts flashed through Chen Luo's mind, but in the end he did not come to a conclusion.
The realms are so different that there is no point in making blind guesses.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Putting aside all distractions, Chen Luo walked back to the body of the mummy brother, put his hand on his head, and a familiar thought emerged in his mind.
'I have come into contact with the brain waves of a dead person. The damage is 99%. Do you want to read it?'
The gray aura flowed along his arm, and this time it lasted longer than the previous two. After a long time, Chen Luo withdrew his hand. He stood there in a daze, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The same degree of brain damage, but this time he read four words in the mummy brother's name.
'My name is Changqing.'
Evergreen?
Chen Luo's first reaction was to think of his master Changqing Zhenren who introduced him to Taoism, but he soon realized that these two were not the same person.
Changqing is the nickname of the mummy brother.
Is it really such a coincidence? After practicing to this level, Chen Luo no longer believes in coincidences. But at the moment he can't say the problem, the mummy brother is just a corpse, it's impossible for him to talk to him.
After thinking for a long time without finding the answer, I simply gave up. I believe that when I have cultivated enough skills in the future, I will naturally be able to figure out the problem.
After collecting the three brains of the mummy brothers, Chen Luo could clearly feel that the mummy brother in the external brain had become stronger. In areas that he didn't know about, the mummy brother had also "perfected" a part. One day in the future, when he has collected all the brains of the mummy brothers, he will be able to obtain all the qualifications and cognition of the mummy brains when he was alive. By that time, it would be a small problem if the road ahead was blocked. He could even lift up the sky if it collapsed.
"continue!"
Having gained something, Chen Luo walked to the edge of the third platform again and began to study how to cross to the fourth platform.
With one successful experience, the follow-up will be much easier.
The situation in the Tiannan region was very chaotic. The previous fight with the Lord of the Golden Light Cave in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain had given him some warnings. It was still too dangerous to face a Nascent Soul cultivator now. He could die if he was not careful. This time he planned to stay here and take as many brains of the mummy brother as possible, and improve his realm to the Nascent Soul.
Others were thinking about the improvement of the minor realm, but for Chen Luo, he had already "seen through" the minor realm at the moment of Dan formation, and the rest was the accumulation of spiritual power. As long as it was accumulated, the Jindan stage could be quickly crossed, and then the Dan would be broken into an infant, becoming a Yuanying cultivator!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
The edge of the seventh platform of the Star Tomb.
Buzz!!
A layer of purple light suddenly lit up, and Chen Luo, who was standing on the restriction, changed his expression. Before he could react, the restriction under his feet burst out with a strong light, which blew him away. The fluctuating power of the restriction lit up all the surrounding array patterns, and the terrifying murderous intent spread in the void.
Chen Luo's blood boiled as his back hit the tomb chamber. He looked down and found that both of his feet that stepped on the restriction were injured by the restriction. If he did not have the lamp oil talisman on his body, this rebound would not be as simple as a shock injury. He would most likely be killed by the backlash of the formation like the formation master in Baixian Cave.
"The lamp oil talisman is actually useless."
Chen Luo leaned against the stone wall of the tomb, and the spiritual power in his body quickly emerged and began to repair his injuries.
Rich jade liquid spiritual power surrounded his body. At this moment, an illusory long river appeared around him. The river water flowed along his meridians and the sound of river water could be heard during the circulation. Rich spiritual energy would heal some injuries every time it circulated. By the third time, Chen Luo's injuries had been completely healed.
Spiritual energy becomes a "river", which is a sign of the late stage of Jindan.
The spiritual energy on the seventh platform has reached the level of a fourth-order spiritual vein. Chen Luo is in seclusion here. With the help of the resources collected from Yaowang City, Qionghua Sect and Gumo Mountain, and with the help of the brain of the seven mummies, he has successfully crossed a small realm and reached the late stage of Jindan.
Hundreds of years of accumulation by others is nothing compared to Chen Luo's "talent".
Surrounded by the spiritual river, the strange phenomenon around Chen Luo became more and more obvious.
Point, lake, river, sea.
These are the four levels of the Jindan realm. Chen Luo walked through these four levels very easily. The perfect foundation building and top-grade Jindan accumulated in the early stage began to give feedback at this step, making his cultivation path extremely smooth. It was not like the blood pill and red pill, where every step was extremely difficult, and even thousands of years of cultivation could not "form a lake of spiritual energy".
In the center of the spiritual river, the golden elixir is like the scorching sun.
Chen Luo saw blood-colored veins on it. It felt like it was gestating. There was a heartbeat inside the golden elixir, and this heartbeat was connected to his soul.
"Nascent Soul. Nascent Soul becomes a Nascent Soul."
Chen Luo looked at the golden elixir in front of him and vaguely grasped a trace of the veins of the Nascent Soul. He had several Nascent Soul brains in his body and knew the state of the Nascent Soul when it manipulated the vitality of heaven and earth. The golden elixir now gave him a similar feeling.
Collect the strange phenomena around you.
The golden elixir and the long river of spiritual energy disappeared bit by bit.
After studying at the edge of the platform for another half a month and confirming that the lamp oil magic had lost its effect, Chen Luo decided not to waste any more time.
The goal of entering the tomb this time was achieved. (End of this chapter)
