"Wait outside."
Chen Luo said this without turning his head, his eyes continuing to stare at the Taoist in the painting in front of him.
"Do you know what the Hedao is?"
"Of course I know."
The Taoist in the painting knows what Chen Luo said
For the immortal cultivation world dominated by the corpse immortal path, returning to the void is the limit. This is something that many people know, but what these people don’t know is that there are people in the corpse immortal path who have achieved the state of unity with the Tao. The Taoist in the painting happens to know a few of them.
"There are people who have achieved harmony with the Tao in this era. Ge Xian and Wang Chengguan succeeded in achieving harmony with the Tao in this era."
Chen Luo had come across these two names mentioned by the Taoist in the painting. They both had a deep connection with him. When he was overcoming the tribulation before, these two people had sponsored him. Unfortunately, these two people unilaterally tore up the contract later, and he was unable to renew the contract even when he took the initiative to approach them.
"Didn't you know nothing just now?" Chen Luo looked at the old man with suspicion. He smelled the scent of 'Ding Mao' from this man.
“I get older, that’s what happens.”
The Taoist in the painting grinned with a very 'reasonable' expression.
Buzz!
Chen Luo suddenly attacked, and just as he expected, his palm went straight through the shadow of the Taoist in the painting without causing him any harm.
In terms of transformation between reality and illusion, he actually lost.
It’s a pity that the real body is not here, otherwise I would definitely be able to capture this old man.
"How did these two people break through?"
If violence fails, then we can only be decent.
Although this old guy lied a lot, he could still extract some useful information. The real person had to worry about which part to believe and which part to forget. He was just a substitute puppet.
"Borrow 'ancient'."
The Taoist in the painting seemed to be completely unaware of Chen Luo's actions and continued to talk to himself. The swaying shadows around him also returned to their original form like the calm water surface.
"Borrow 'ancient'?"
"A special magical power requires a special time, a special place, and the help of a special person. It takes a combination of factors to have a chance to be displayed. Even if it is successfully displayed, it may not necessarily lead to a breakthrough to the Return to Void stage."
After looking at Chen Luo, the Taoist in the painting continued.
"The fact that you can come here means you also have the opportunity to achieve harmony with the Tao. If you are willing, I can give you a chance to 'borrow from the past' to help you achieve harmony with the Tao." As the Taoist in the painting spoke, he patted his head as if he suddenly remembered something and added.
"By the way, the Silent Taoist you were looking for has also gone to 'borrow the ancients'. If you are lucky, you may have a chance to see him break through to the Return to Void stage and become a He Dao cultivator."
"Borrowing ancient things?"
Chen Luo repeated it.
"Yes."
The Taoist in the painting stretched out his hand to get the rice paper, touched it with his index finger, and the ink spread like ripples, and soon a formation pattern was drawn on the rice paper.
A formation pattern that is completely different from the current world of immortal cultivation.
"You can engrave this array pattern in the middle of the teleportation array and activate it when Yin and Yang are separated. You will have a chance to borrow a corner of the 'Ancient'. If you are not rejected, you can return to the past and achieve enlightenment in that space and time."
Go to the past and attain enlightenment.
I see.
No wonder Ge Xian and Wang Chengguan’s methods are incompatible with the Corpse Immortal Way; it turns out they are following the ancient path.
"I've already told you, it's up to you whether you go or not."
Seeing that Chen Luo didn't say anything, the Taoist in the painting stood up, took out a brand new piece of drawing paper from under the table, hung it on the position of the fourth painting, and prepared to return the painting.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay."
Chen Luo stepped forward quickly.
The Taoist in the painting stopped and turned to look at Chen Luo, not understanding what he was going to do. He had already said what he needed to say, and the rest depended on Chen Luo's personal choice. There was no point in keeping him.
"Actually, the first time I saw you, I felt that we had a good rapport. How about you leave a mark on me?" Chen Luo said sincerely.
The moment he heard the mark, the old man in the painting, who had been calm and composed, turned around and left without caring what Chen Luo said.
Looking at the Taoist who disappeared in the painting, Chen Luo showed a trace of regret on his face.
There was no way this old guy was just a painting.
Knowing so many secrets, and being able to borrow ancient array patterns. Even if he is not Ge Xian's real body, at least he is a more important clone. Chen Luo's last sentence was to test his identity, and the old man's reaction was the same as he expected.
He refused to leave any mark, it must be Lao Ge himself!
"It seems that there are still many misunderstandings between me and the senior. When I come, I must resolve this misunderstanding, or at least take the mark back."
After searching the room again and making sure that nothing was missed, Chen Luo waved his sleeves and put the tables, chairs, benches in the room, as well as several paintings on the wall, into his sleeves.
However, the Taoist priest in the painting was not taken away by him. The old guy was like the legendary creature, real or unreal. He was just an appearance in the painting, and no one knew where the real him had disappeared to.
"Master!"
Seeing Chen Luo coming out, Zi Tianji, who had been waiting outside for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had just turned the yard upside down, and apart from the green-haired monster, there was nothing valuable anywhere else.
It reveals a sense of poverty.
"Go back first."
Chen Luo nodded and led Zi Tianji back the same way. As for whether to use the array pattern given to him by Hua Dao Ren, that would require the original master to consider, since he was only a clone after all.
Snap...
When the two of them walked across the bamboo bridge, a crisp sound suddenly came from Chen Luo's sleeves. He stopped and shook it gently, and a lot of sand fell from his sleeves.
Can’t you take it away?
These things were exactly the tables and chairs he had collected from the house before, as well as the stone tablet he had snatched at the beginning.
Chen Luo picked up a strand of sand and twisted it gently with his hands. He found that these sands were just like the imaginary creations in the legendary world. They did not have the earth-attributed spiritual power that real sand should have.
"It's getting foggy."
Zi Tianji looked at the scene opposite. A large amount of thick fog rose from the river. The fog was like living flying insects, forming a rising tsunami. In the blink of an eye, it covered all the areas opposite the river.
However, the other side of the river was not affected at all, and not a trace of fog overflowed.
Chen Luo walked to the river and reached out to the mist.
The rising white mist separated to the left and right, accurately avoiding his palm.
I tried to sense it with my spiritual sense, but I found nothing. When the fog dispersed, the scene on the other side of the bridge was no longer the courtyard, but another unfamiliar place.
A strange inn with two red lanterns hanging with the word "past" written on them. A woman in red was standing at the door of the inn, looking at him with a smile.
Ning Chenye’s wife!
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at the smiling woman. He had doubts when he killed Ning Chenye that day.
Because they couldn't find the Spring and Autumn Gu, it now seemed that it had most likely fallen into the hands of Ning Chenye's wife. This woman was no pushover either, and had been plotting against Ning Chenye from the beginning.
They are indeed two people separated from one body!
Senior sister Bai Su’s martial arts skills have great lasting effects.
"Uncle, remember to come back often. Our Chenye often talks about you."
A faint voice entered my ears, and even the remaining mist could not block it.
Zi Tianji looked at Chen Luo with a strange expression. He didn't expect that he was so wild that he even knew the women here.
"Master, do you know this girl?"
“No.”
Chen Luo turned and left. This woman was also a trouble and should be kept away from.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Zi Tianji returned with Chen Luo's clone. This passage was very strange, the passage out was different from the passage in, and it only took a short while to come out.
"Master!"
Zi Tianji was very excited to see the light of day again.
He did not encounter any danger this time, and instead achieved a breakthrough in his magical powers, which could be considered an adventure.
Chen Luo nodded in response, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the puppet. Large amounts of memories flooded into his mind, and in the end the entire body of the clone turned into liquid and merged into his body through the palm of his hand.
"Borrow from the past?"
Digesting the memories sent back by the puppet clone, the external brain quickly became active and gave feedback.
'The Taoist in the painting may be Ding Mao in disguise.'
'There are three doubts about the ancient method...'
"Ning Chenye's wife has the scent of Spring and Autumn Gu."
'The array is complex, involving spells and patterns.'
The puppet clone's experiences below were quickly organized into blocks and then subdivided into corresponding brains for processing.
"These old guys actually made a breakthrough using this method."
Chen Luo had thought about this question a long time ago. The limit of the world of immortal cultivation is the Return to Void Realm. Even the leader of the Dao Sect can only reach the Return to Void Realm. But Ge Xian and Wang Chengguan are obviously not among them.
These two old guys broke the upper limit of life span and lived from the Baixian Cave era to the present. The same is true for Master Wuwei, but his method of prolonging life is different from that of Ge Xian and the others, and is more like a kind of "self-destruction".
Cut the Dao and enlighten your mind.
"You can give it a try."
Chen Luo used the brains of his elder brother Changqing and his second brother the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal to think about it, and only made a decision after making sure that there was no danger to life.
The puppet body dissipated, and the real body in Qionghua Sect woke up. Before, for safety reasons, Chen Luo created a clone to explore Taisu Sword Sect, and attached a trace of soul to it.
Later, when exploring the clone of Tai Su Sword Sect, he felt there was danger, so he used the reverse possession method to create a puppet clone without a soul attached, and went to explore under the passage.
Now that the danger has been eliminated, this information will naturally be fed back to me.
"I can't take this opportunity alone."
Chen Luo reached out and took out a stack of talisman papers and pointed with his index finger.
The talisman paper flew up like snowflakes.
The paper folded in the air and turned into a paper crane. The vermilion ink flew out of the sleeve and landed precisely on the paper crane's eyes.
The light flows everywhere and the talisman takes shape.
With the number of talisman masters' brains that Chen Luo now possesses, drawing these third-level communication paper cranes is almost effortless.
"If there is an opportunity, come quickly."
The spiritual light turns into energy and blends into it.
The paper cranes scattered, flapped their wings and flew out of the window, leaving streaks of light in the air before disappearing outside the window. (End of this chapter)
