Painted Skin Demon and Zhu Chungang left.
Before Chen Luo could speak, the Painted Skin Demon took the initiative to raise the price for Chen Luo. In addition to helping him restore the charm of the Dao Stone in his hand, he also gave him an extra stone talisman. As for Xing Yun, he had no reaction after being beaten to death by Chen Luo thirty times.
Blood seeped into the ground along the cracks. It was unclear whether he was dead or escaped, which made Chen Luo feel somewhat regretful.
A fresh brain slipped away right under our noses.
After reaching a higher realm, the difficulty of brain collection increased significantly. In terms of life-saving ability, cultivators in the Spirit Refining Realm are much stronger than cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm.
He returned to the Ancient God Sect with the Taoist Stone and the black stone talisman.
The turmoil at the Star Gate was still going on, and two more families were killed. People were escaping from the edge of the Ancient God Sect almost every day. According to the news brought by these escapees, several areas around the Star Gate Taoist Palace were destroyed, with countless casualties. This time, even the Star Gate's Yin Yue Patriarch took action.
But these have nothing to do with Chen Luo.
He was only a disciple at the Foundation Establishment stage of the Ancient God Sect, and the big guys at the Spirit Refining level were very far away from him.
Most of the disciples in the Ancient God Sect had the same mentality as him. Compared with the disputes in the Star Gate, they were more concerned about what was happening around them.
"Senior Brother Xingyun has passed away."
"Who killed him?"
"I don't know. I just heard that the fate tablet was broken."
Ling Dong and Zhang Xi were talking about the recent events in the sect. The most eye-catching news was the death of Xingyun, which came from the Ancient God Sect's True Transmission Pavilion and could not be false.
“What a pity.”
Zhang Xi sighed. The cultivation techniques that the two of them had learned after they entered the sect were all taught by Xingyun, so he could be considered to have been entrusted with the teachings of Xingyun.
"The path to immortality is full of twists and turns. Exploring secret realms and breaking through barriers can all lead to death. You and I are ordinary people, and we don't have elders to rely on. We can only rely on ourselves for everything."
When talking about relying on elders, the two subconsciously glanced at the secret room where Chen Luo was in seclusion.
The envy in his eyes was not hidden at all.
In their eyes, Chen Luo is the lucky guy who has the support of his elders.
Inside the secret room.
The stone talisman and the Taoist stone floated in the air on the left and right. Chen Luo's external brain was fully open, and water-like ripples flashed in his eyes. A large amount of information was stripped out by him, and after being classified by more than 900 external brains in his body, it was integrated into his main body.
The memories of several brains that surpassed the Divine Transformation Realm were "revived" once again. With the update of data content, they remembered more things that happened in their previous lives.
The black stone talisman is a detailed explanation of the art of talismans, which mainly records the talisman-making techniques of talisman masters in the realm of spiritual refinement.
Chen Luo divided this part among the thirty or so brains related to the Talisman Masters. After thoroughly understanding the inheritance on the black Talisman Stone, he could advance to a fifth-level Talisman Master. The remaining nine hundred and fifty-six brains were all concentrated on the Dao Stone.
The complex power of Dao Stone was unraveled by these brains and finally summarized into two points.
The first point is 'transformation'
After entering the realm of soul refining, the cultivator uses his own foundation as a blueprint to condense his own "soul". This god is the first step to "transformation into emptiness".
The most common method is to transform oneself into a "god" that fits one's own path and spread it among the people.
The wider the legend, the stronger the feedback will be. The 'gods' will also be affected by the legends and produce some unknown changes. For example, Shang Xuanyi of the Star Gate who was killed by Chen Luo, his 'god' is 'flood'. After reaching the peak of the transformation of the gods, Shang Xuanyi can use the 'Tao' of the Star Gate to weave his own legend and spread it.
If there are rumors among the people that Shang Xuanyi's "flood" can lead directly to the underworld, then Shang Xuanyi will be affected in the opposite direction after returning to the void, and the flood will have the ability to "go directly to the underworld."
The second point is carrying capacity.
All legends are not created out of nothing, they need the power of "Tao". The carrying strength depends on its own accumulation. Only when the accumulation is sufficient, the power fed back by the legend can really "turn from virtual to real". Only when this step is achieved can it be regarded as truly entering the realm of returning to the void! The sixth-level snake demon from the Star Gate that Chen Luo met before cannot be regarded as this level.
Although it can also extract a person from a false legend, this extraction is only temporary. The "virtualization" of the human figure has nothing to do with its own legend. It can only be regarded as a method of borrowing the power of heaven and earth, and its ability is similar to the "true method" of the transformation realm.
It's OK to deal with people of lower realm, but in front of strong people of the same realm, this little trick is not enough.
Chen Luo sat under the waterfall, polishing his body with the disciples of the Ancient God Sect. His surface cultivation also improved from the middle stage of foundation building to the perfect stage of foundation building. The people gathered around him gradually increased from Ling and Zhang at the beginning to five.
These five people have no background, and they join Chen Luo just to establish a relationship with the Kuchai Patriarch.
Chen Luo didn't refuse either.
He has never done any mission since he joined the sect, and the mandatory tasks assigned by the sect were all completed for him by these subordinates.
Basically no one from above cared about his privileged behavior.
After three years in the sect, Chen Luo’s background was no longer a secret. Everyone knew that he was recommended by Venerable Kuchai to join the sect and had a background at the level of a Return to Void ancestor.
"Brother Ding."
At the end of the moss-covered stone steps, Zhang Xi, dressed in black, walked up. When he saw Chen Luo sitting under the waterfall practicing, a hint of respect flashed in his eyes.
After two years of foundation building, he was successfully completed and was not far from the Jindan stage. With such talent, even without the help of Venerable Kuchai, he could still occupy a place in the world of immortal cultivation in the future. If he was lucky, he might be able to condense an Infant and go out to create a Nascent Soul family.
"What is it?"
Chen Luo didn't even open his eyes.
"The sect competition is about to begin. I heard that Venerable Kuchai will also be here this time."
"Go and get a good ranking, as an explanation to the master." Chen Luo opened his eyes, and waves of high-frequency flickering ripples flashed in his eyes.
"Immortal."
Zhang Xi, who was looking at each other, was in a trance, as if he was in a dream. Fortunately, Chen Luo quickly restrained his strength, and the strange fluctuations dissipated, and Zhang Xi recovered.
She looked around blankly, not understanding what had happened to her just now.
"Brother, aren't you going? The rewards for this competition are a Golden Saint Pill and a third-tier magical weapon. If you get them, you can greatly increase the probability of condensing a pill. If you're lucky, you can even condense a red pill."
When Zhang Xi came to his senses, he remembered the purpose of coming here.
The rewards for this sect competition were very generous, and many core disciples who had been in seclusion came out in order to compete for the third-tier magic weapon.
"Third-level magical weapon. Golden Holy Pill."
Chen Luo's first reaction was that it was rubbish, but then he realized that he was now a foundation-building cultivator. In the eyes of a foundation-building cultivator, aren't these things treasures? As a fifth-level alchemist and a fifth-level weapon refiner, he hadn't paid attention to low-level elixirs and low-level magic weapons for a long time.
"Who spread the news that the Venerable Kuchai would appear?"
"It was said personally by a Nascent Soul elder from the First Peak, so it should be true." In the eyes of Foundation Establishment cultivators like Zhang Xi, the words of a Nascent Soul cultivator still carry a lot of weight.
As for the state of transformation.
To these disciples, he was a figure at the level of an ancestor. A Return to the Void Realm was even more like an immortal. Chen Luo was able to enjoy privileges in the Ancient God Sect just by relying on his identity as a disciple of the suspected Kuchai Venerable. One could imagine the influence of a Return to the Void cultivator.
"I see."
Chen Luo simply replied, then closed his eyes and continued to practice.
Zhang Xi stopped there and hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not dare to interrupt Chen Luo's practice. After saying hello, he turned around and left the waterfall.
"How about it?"
As soon as Zhang Xi came down the mountain, four figures gathered around him.
The leader is Ling Dong, who joined Chen Luo together with Zhang Xi. The remaining three have joined him in the past two years and can be considered their junior brothers and sisters.
"My senior brother is at a critical juncture in his final exam and has no plans to participate in the competition."
Zhang Xi told the result.
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
In addition to reporting their achievements, they also wanted to test whether Chen Luo was really related to the Kuchai Patriarch. In their opinion, if Chen Luo was really related to the Kuchai Patriarch, after hearing that the Kuchai Patriarch would come, he would definitely show up and show the results of his three years of practice. Only in this way would he not disappoint the Patriarch's expectations.
But Chen Luo remained unmoved and showed no signs of going down the mountain.
This made several people feel a little suspicious.
"Do you think that Senior Brother Ding's background is fake?"
A short, round-faced female cultivator asked in a low voice.
No one spoke, including Ling Dong and Zhang Xi, who were the first to join Chen Luo. They had similar ideas.
"Sign up first."
Ling Dong took a deep breath and made a decision. After investing so much in Chen Luo, he would definitely be unwilling to give up now. But he was also worried if he continued to follow him. If Chen Luo was a liar, wouldn't their following over the years become a joke?
"After the competition, we will confront our senior brother. I believe he will understand us."
He just wanted to condense the elixir and become a Jindan cultivator.
Why is it so difficult?
It is indeed easier to cultivate in the upper realm than in the lower realm, but this ease is only relative. Just like ordinary people born in wealthy countries, they do have more opportunities to make money than those in poor countries, but if you say that everyone is a rich man, that is definitely a lie. Resources are always concentrated in the hands of a small number of people.
Ling Dong also wanted to cultivate immortality at will.
He also wanted to wield a sword and sing, soaring high. But the reality was that if he didn't join the Ancient God Sect, he wouldn't even be able to get the Concentrating Spirit Grass for foundation building. Spiritual herbs were everywhere in the upper realm, but the key spiritual materials for advancement were still controlled by the sect.
"It's the only way."
Zhang Xi also sighed. She was a cultivator from a small family. Her background was a little stronger than Ling Dong's, but it was limited. Some time ago, her uncle sent her a message, asking her to find out Chen Luo's background. If Chen Luo's side was fake, let her turn to Ji Cheng of the second peak.
This made Zhang Xi particularly unwilling.
She is the genius of the Third Peak. (End of this chapter)
