Chapter 155 Return to the Tomb
Elder An was in a good mood. He had just walked around the Situ family's medicine garden and found many precious spiritual materials there. Especially the dragon beard grass cultivated by three generations of the Situ family. This is a spiritual material for refining second-level elixirs. For them, the foundation-building cultivators, the dragon beard grass is also very valuable.
"This is a good opportunity to find trouble. I have to thank the newly promoted Elder Chen."
Elder An's steps became much lighter as he walked on the road.
No matter what the sect is like, as long as he lives a comfortable life, that's enough.
This is the confidence of a second-level alchemist.
During the last crisis of the Immortal Sect, several peaks behind the ten main peaks were in turmoil, and some people even died in the battles between sects.
But the four main peaks in front of them are different.
They hold the core inheritance, so even if the Shenhu Xianmen is really destroyed, they can easily change their sects. Whether it is the Corpse Cultivation Sect or the Nine Poison Valley, they need elixirs and magic tools, formations, and talismans. This is also the main reason why the other main peaks suffered heavy losses in the last battle, while the four peaks in front of them suffered almost no losses.
He walked all the way to his own training courtyard and opened the door.
Elder An stood there in a daze.
The room was spotless. Even the floor was gone. All the spiritual medicines he had accumulated over the years were gone. Not only that, the second-level alchemy furnace he had finally found was gone, as were the medicine cabinets and spiritual stones.
"Who the hell is this? They even dare to rob my Yaowang Peak!!! This is inside the sect, and the sect master is not dead yet!!!"
The shrill screams echoed on Yaowang Peak.
Elder An could never have imagined that such a shameless thing would happen in the sect, under the eyes of the Jindan Patriarch. This was simply trampling on the face of the Immortal Sect and challenging the order of the Immortal Sect.
Chen Luo never returned to Shenhu Xianmen.
For him, he would not be back from the Immortal Sect for a long time. The Sect Master's condition was worrying. Although Immortal Wuwei said thirty years, in Chen Luo's opinion, thirty years was the most ideal condition. If he was unlucky, it would be ten or twenty years earlier, which was not impossible.
It is not in his character to rely on others for his safety.
Black Mountain Village.
Chen Luo once again came to his first stop after leaving Yue State.
Before he left, he planned to go home to take a look. He had been out for more than five years, and he didn't know how his uncle and the others were doing, and whether his master Changqing Zhenren had mastered his Shintoism. There were many secrets in the tomb that had not been figured out, especially the tomb that was as vast as the starry sky.
There are so many seniors in there, I have to pay tribute to them.
After flying outside the village, Chen Luo put away his magic sword and walked in on foot.
The village was still as quiet and peaceful as before. As they did not have to pay taxes to the masters above them, the villagers had lived a good life these years. The road had been repaired, and a tower was built at the entrance of the village to defend against bandits. Some villagers with longbows patrolled on it.
During the years of turmoil in the Shenhu Xianmen, the villages below had a hard time. Some people who couldn't survive became bandits and plundered everywhere. When people couldn't survive, rules and order were useless to them, and they didn't have any concerns in their hearts.
Even though they knew that Heishan Village was a place protected by the immortal sect, they would still rob it.
Because they want to survive, that's all.
"stop."
As soon as Chen Luo approached, he saw that someone on the wall had discovered him. The villager in charge of guarding was pointing a bow and arrow at him, with a look of vigilance on his face.
“Senior Brother!”
"Brother Chen."
Before the villagers could say anything more, two figures flew out. They were Xie Shuang and Du Jian, who had arrived before Chen Luo.
Before he left Shenhu Xianmen this time, he also sent a message to the two and told them about his plan to return to Yue. After learning that they could go back, the two immediately gave up the treatment of the sect and chose to come back with him. The eldest brother Du De chose to stay. He gave his junior brother Du Jian a storage bag and asked him to take it back to his master, Xinhuo Dao Ren.
Everyone has their own choice. Although Du De's aptitude is not as good as Xie Shuang and Du Jian, his determination to pursue the Tao is much stronger than the two. Only he knows the hard work he put into entering the late stage of Qi training with the aptitude of the lower-grade spiritual root of the six attributes.
"You two got here pretty fast."
A smile appeared on Chen Luo's face.
The villagers in the distance saw this scene and were so scared that they immediately put away their longbows. These two were the "immortal masters" from their village. Anyone who could be their senior brother must also be an immortal master.
"Heishan Village is connected to the Kamikaze Domain, and we can directly take the inter-domain flying boat here." Xie Shuang was very happy.
She couldn't help feeling happy at the thought of going back.
She had not been happy in Shenhu Xianmen these years, and the same was true for Du Jian next to her. Both of them were the kind of people who did not like to fight with others. This kind of personality was destined to be incompatible with the current world of immortal cultivation.
Du Jian next to him was silent. When he saw Chen Luo again, he could clearly feel the vast spiritual power fluctuations from Chen Luo's body.
Foundation building immortal cultivation!
He didn't expect that Senior Brother Chen actually did it.
"With the foundation of building strength, I should be able to activate the teleportation array."
"Let's go."
Chen Luo didn't stay here either.
For him, there was nothing worth remembering about Heishan Village.
This greatly disappointed the village elders and clansmen who were eagerly waiting inside. One hot-tempered village elder even went to the top of the city wall and slapped a few young men, thinking that they were the ones who delayed the immortal master's return to the village.
Following the direction of their memories, the three of them passed through a forest and soon arrived at the cave where the teleportation array was located. When they left, Chen Luo and Xie Shuang had done some covering, and now when they came back they found that the covering branches were still there, just like when they left.
"Brother, I want to go see Lingzhu."
When they reached the cave entrance, Xie Shuang suddenly spoke.
"Let's go together."
The bamboo was planted by Chen Luo and Xie Shuang together, and the spirit of her master, the Fairy Cuizhu, was placed on it. It was similar to the "Shendao Fa" of the Immortal Changqing.
After walking around the cave for a while, the three of them found the spiritual bamboo that they had planted with their own hands in a difficult location.
Just like when it was planted, the spiritual bamboo was still only three feet in size, rooted in the soil and swaying gently, looking no different from ordinary bamboo. But Chen Luo knew that the planting of the spiritual bamboo had failed, and the spiritual power on it had dissipated.
This is also a picture that can only be seen with spiritual consciousness.
"I also went to see the tablet of Uncle Changqing. The village elders have been offering incense and worshiping him." Xie Shuang stroked the green bamboo, as if she suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said to Chen Luo.
"I know."
As a foundation-building cultivator, Black Mountain Village held no secrets for Chen Luo. Long before he landed, he had used his spiritual sense to observe the ancestral hall of Black Mountain Village.
Like Lingzhu, Zhenren Changqing's soul method also failed.
"I haven't seen you for more than five years. I wonder how Master and the others are doing." Du Jian, who was following behind the two of them, said with some emotion.
The three people's masters were all from the same generation, and their cultivation was at the initial stage of Qi Refining. Theoretically, they could only live for more than 150 years, but the special environment of the tomb allowed them to break the upper limit of the life span of Qi Refining monks and live for more than 200 years.
They didn't know about this special thing before, but after traveling around the world of immortal cultivation, they all understood the value of this secret.
The secret of prolonging life is enough to drive the entire world of immortal cultivation crazy, and even the Jindan ancestors would be tempted.
Return to the cave.
Chen Luo looked around the cave, spread out his spiritual sense, and began to look for a way to activate the formation.
Xie Shuang and Du Jian stood aside obediently.
They had already tested this teleportation array, and with the knowledge they both had, it was impossible to open it.
“Some parts are blurry.”
Chen Luo squatted on the ground, stroking the traces of the formation with his hand.
In the external brain, the master brain of the foundation formation obtained in Guoshan County started to work quickly. Because he had once experienced riding this formation, he quickly captured the key nodes and located the spiritual power input point.
"You two come over here."
Chen Luo took out six spirit stones and hammered them into the ground in different directions.
This formation was very complicated, even if he used the brain of a foundation-building formation master, he couldn't fully understand it, but this didn't stop him from using it. It was just like the principle of driving and building a car, although it couldn't be built, it could still be done with simple use.
Upon hearing this, the two of them quickly stood beside Chen Luo.
Chen Luo stretched out his right hand and gathered the magic power in his palm. Then he took out more than 20 spiritual stones and drained the spiritual power from them. The spiritual power gathered in his hand was controlled by his spiritual sense and injected into the teleportation array under his feet little by little. This process was extremely complicated and involved the knowledge of ancient magic and immortal texts, which Chen Luo had learned before. Otherwise, someone else might not be able to activate the array.
Buzz!!
The white light shone, and the teleportation array under his feet instantly came alive. During this process, Chen Luo clearly felt that the traces of the array had faded a lot, and several connection points were broken.
'This formation can only last once at most.'
In his mind, the formation master's brain gave a feedback.
The light spread out, and finally illuminated the entire cave like the scorching sun. The next second, a familiar pulling feeling came from under my feet.
'Cross-region teleportation array, retrograde.'
The mummy's brain also emerged, still with only one sentence.
"Brother, I will definitely find you a few more companions this time!" A light flashed, and the figures of the three people disappeared into the cave as if they were twisted into cotton.
With a sound of "crack", a tiny crack appeared on the stone wall of the cave.
On the blank platform, three figures were lying on the ground.
No one knew how long it had been, but one of them moved his fingers, and spiritual power revived in his body, and his blood began to flow slowly.
“I’m finally back.”
Chen Luo opened his eyes, and the world in his eyes still had some double images.
The feeling of dizziness echoed in his mind. The spiritual body that he reshaped after building the foundation lost its effect. At this moment, he was just like an ordinary person.
Some were so top-heavy that they could hardly stand up.
It took him a long time to slowly get used to this weakness. Glancing at the two people who were still unconscious beside him, he stood up shakily and looked up. Above his head was the endless starry sky.
Those numerous stars are all tombs.
Boundless tomb!
After getting used to the feeling of physical weakness, Chen Luo first looked at the platform under his feet, which was the tomb they had left before.
The tomb chamber behind is where he obtained the 'mummified brain'.
When revisiting the old place, Chen Luo naturally went back to "pay homage" to the mummy brother again.
Walk to the edge of the tomb and push it gently with your hand.
The tomb door was pushed open easily by him just like before.
The mummy in the secret room was still sitting cross-legged, without any change.
Chen Luo walked into the tomb, put on deerskin gloves, and touched the head of the mummy again. The feeling was the same as before, but the difference was that there was no feedback this time, because the brain inside had been taken away by him a long time ago.
"It's a pity that it can't be charged repeatedly."
Chen Luo felt a little regretful, and then he started searching the tomb again.
The room was very clean. Apart from the cushion under the mummy's buttocks, there were only the oil lamps on the wall. No one knew what kind of oil these lamps burned. The flames had not changed in all these years.
"Brother."
Xie Shuang appeared at the door of the tomb. After he and Du Jian woke up and did not see Chen Luo, their first reaction was to go back to the tomb.
Sure enough, when he came over to look, he saw Chen Luo picking at the oil lamp on the wall.
He really is worthy of being Uncle Changqing's disciple.
"Just paying respect to the seniors."
Chen Luo withdrew his hand with regret. He had just tried to pry the oil lamp off for a long time but failed. He even couldn't pry it off using his magic power, which made him quite regretful.
The same thing happened to the cushion under the mummy's buttocks. He couldn't pull it out. He couldn't move the mummy's body either. Looking at the skinny mummy, its weight was beyond imagination. He used the Iron Body Skill but couldn't make it move.
"Brother, go back first."
"You two go first, I have something else to do."
Chen Luo waved his hand. He didn't intend to leave immediately. He finally came back, how could he return empty-handed?
At least we need another brain.
"Then be careful, brother."
Seeing this, Xie Shuang and Du De had no choice but to leave. They didn't like the atmosphere of the tomb. It made them feel very depressed, and there were dangers everywhere. There was no point in staying.
The two men found the tunnel they had used to get down from the platform.
The hole was filled up again.
Fortunately, the two men were not ordinary people. After some effort, they reopened the tunnel.
"Brother, let's go out first."
After digging through the tomb passage, the two said goodbye to Chen Luo.
"Go ahead."
Chen Luo didn't even turn his head. At this moment, he had already started studying the edge of the tomb.
The formation of this tomb is more complicated than the teleportation formation. Even if the brain of the foundation formation master is used, he can't understand it at all. All he can sense is danger.
There are dangers everywhere.
However, Chen Luo knew that he could definitely get across to the platform on the opposite side.
When they entered the tomb, the three elders including Changqing Zhenren landed on the opposite platform. This meant that the opposite platform also had cracks like this one.
