Chapter 597 The Source of Power

Since the information at hand was really insufficient, Du Chengfeng and Wu Zhao couldn't figure out what the problems were with these powerful men.

But after Wu Zhao's reminder, Du Chengfeng has discovered that this so-called ascension, these powerful beings in the sky, are a bit strange no matter how you look at it - the most obvious doubt is what Wu Zhao said, these powerful beings are originally heroes from all walks of life, how could they not fight each other if they really get together?
Even if they don't fight to the death, at least there will be a difference in who is better. After all, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Although no one wants to be inferior to others, if you meet a stronger person, you can't beat him, so you have to bow your head.

But now, these so-called powerful people exist in a seemingly normal but rather weird loose state. Although temporary interests can unite them, they will not take the initiative to attack each other.

"This is weird, it shouldn't be like this."

The half of Wu Zhao's face was frowned.

"Anyway, I won't die for the time being. I also need to collect some information before I can make further judgments."

"Alright."

Wu Zhao finally had the will to survive, which made Du Chengfeng quite happy. Although they had fought to the death in the past and had a feud, it was a good thing to have someone to talk to him occasionally when he was alone facing all the powerful people.

Or in other words, even if he was unlucky, he would not be the only one. Du Chengfeng felt relieved to be able to drag Wu Zhao over to take the blame.

However, with Wu Zhao's personality, it was impossible to let him hide peacefully, so most of the time, it was Du Chengfeng who controlled the body of Baizu Xingjun - after all, Du Chengfeng was a real powerful man, at least he could use his strength to get through most situations, as for Wu Zhao...

Wu Zhao's strength has fallen far behind.

"As long as you think about it, you can do it? This kind of bullshit actually works?"

When Du Chengfeng tried to teach him advanced skills, Wu Zhao even found it unbelievable, simply because this set of things was completely opposite to what Wu Zhao had practiced before - Wu Zhao's way back then still required him to communicate with the ghost in his heart to adjust his self-awareness, and even needed to attract evil spirits as the basis of his strength.

This also directly led to the inevitable confusion in Wu Zhao's thinking when facing the "three turbidities" and "theory of firm will" that Du Chengfeng now possessed.

"This kind of thing, no... this way, this method of gaining power, how could it possibly work?"

Faced with Du Chengfeng's teachings, Wu Zhao's mind was already in chaos.

"If this can really work, doesn't it mean that we have been taking a detour all these years? If this can really work, doesn't it mean that everyone can become the powerful person you are talking about? How is this possible? How is this possible?"

"You're still not that good."

Seeing that Wu Zhao still didn't quite understand, Du Chengfeng was simply amused.

"It seems that you didn't study it thoroughly enough at that time, and you still don't understand the nature of power clearly enough."

"wrong……"

Wu Zhao became more and more painful. It was obvious that the new knowledge system was destroying his understanding of power in his memory.

"Could it be that our power, the power that belongs to the Yin people, was not real from the beginning?"

"Maybe you just haven't explored the world deeply enough?"

Feeling that Wu Zhao was about to collapse, Du Chengfeng thought about it and comforted him with a few words.

"Look at me. When I was young, wasn't I also doing evil spirits? At that time, I also thought that the more people I killed, the stronger I would become... This kind of thing happens to everyone. Just be at peace with it."

"But this kind of thing..."

Although that's what he said, Wu Zhao always felt that things were far from as simple as these few words said.

Du Chengfeng and Wu Zhao are still lurking, collecting information while waiting for the return of Du Chengfeng's remains. After the temporary discussion, they have decided not to take the initiative to attack for the time being, to respond to changes with a constant attitude, and to see how anxious those so-called powerful people will be.

And those powerful ones have never found them. Although the search is still going on with great fanfare, many powerful ones have begun to wonder if this search is just a pretense.

After all, the extraterritorial demon is not a fool. He is also a powerful being. If he is really determined to hide himself, it would be difficult to find him just by relying on such a large-scale search.

This is just like hunting. The more vigorous the hunt, the easier it is to scare the prey away. On the contrary, approaching quietly and silently is more likely to kill with one blow. The bigger the action, the harder it is to accomplish. On the contrary, the smaller the action, the easier it is to achieve the effect.

“This must be covering up something.”

A powerful person has already noticed that something is wrong.

"What on earth is Wenquxingjun doing?"

Nominally speaking, Wenquxingjun is currently in charge of manpower deployment, and when the powerful people returned to the Wanxingmeng Hall, they could indeed see that Wenquxingjun had been working without any slacking off - but it was obvious that the Wenquxingjun at the moment was not necessarily the real Wenquxingjun. God knows where the real Wenquxingjun is.

Only a few powerful people know what the real body of Wenquxingjun is doing.

It was simply because, right now, the real body of Wenqu Star Lord was right beside them, watching with them the most important remnant of the Heavenly Demon.

"This is the devil's brain."

Wenquxingjun pointed at the piece of silver-white metal in front of him that had a complete shape.

"Before, we didn't take it out mainly for two reasons. One is that the information inside is too valuable, and the other is that it may contain the remaining will of the extraterritorial demon... But now, the extraterritorial demon has been resurrected, and the demon brain is relatively safe, so we called all of you here."

As he said this, Wenquxingjun glanced at the several powerful people in front of him.

"You are the people we trust the most and you are the ones who support our ideas the most. So now that we have encountered a problem, we no longer need to hide anything from you... So do you have any way to extract this information completely without damaging the remaining information?"

"This……"

The five powerful men who were called over all frowned.

They have to try to extract the information without damaging the information itself... If this was a book, it would be fine, but what is in front of them is an entire brain, or even an entire metal brain. How can they start?

"Or else..."

Among the five powerful beings, the Lord of Nine Dragons thought for a moment and gave an idea.

"How about making it into a magic soldier?"

This seems to be the most reliable method. After all, the remains of the Heavenly Demon seem to have only this one use. After being made into magic soldiers, these remains of the Heavenly Demon have all kinds of superpowers - maybe the magic soldiers made by the Heavenly Demon's brain can make people feel everything that the Heavenly Demon from outside the domain has experienced?
And once the magic soldier is made, it means that someone needs to be in charge of the magic soldier, or in other words, the magic soldier can change hands, and everyone can touch it and feel the magic soldier's special abilities.

Thinking of this, the other four powerful men also raised their heads.

Obviously, this suggestion is also good for them. But facing the common suggestion of the five great men, Wenquxingjun just shook his head.

"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I can't do it."

The real body of Wenquxingjun sighed.

"We have tried to make a magic weapon, but this thing seems to be different from other magic weapons... Other magic weapons can be made with just a strong will, but this remnant of the Heavenly Demon can never be turned into a magic weapon. In this case, we don't know how to deal with it, so we asked you to come..."

"...just came to us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several powerful people present were suddenly shocked.

Especially the Nine Dragon Star Lord, he was sweating now, he thought his affairs had been exposed, and now he was called here to be settled - in order to forge the magic soldiers, calling them here, isn't it obvious that they are going to sacrifice themselves to the soldiers, using them for a blood sacrifice?
The Lord of Nine Dragons had created magic soldiers himself, so he knew better the dangers involved.

Or in other words, the dangers they face.

"It's not a blood sacrifice. Blood sacrifices are useless."

Seeing that several powerful men were a little frightened and even wanted to take action on the spot, the real body of Wenquxingjun could not help but shake his head and sigh.

"We have tried the blood sacrifice, but the Demon Brain has no reaction to it... Although it has been sacrificed several times, the Demon Brain is still the same. It has no intention of turning into a demon soldier at all."

"..."

After hearing what Wenquxingjun said, the five powerful men were speechless for a long time.

So things like blood sacrifice have actually been done?

No wonder there have been cases of great men falling in the past period of time. They originally thought that these fallen great men were killed on the spot by the extraterritorial demon when they were alone - of course, the Nine Dragon Star Lord knew some of the inside story, after all, he was responsible for several of the deaths that were put on the head of the extraterritorial demon.

But looking at it now...

This God of Literature actually did it!

"Don't tell anyone about this kind of thing."

Having said this, Wenquxingjun's voice paused.

"On the one hand, we trust you, so we told you this. On the other hand, even if you want to spread rumors, it is meaningless... I think you should understand this, which will also be beneficial to our subsequent communication."

At this point, several powerful men have already understood that although Wenquxingjun is indeed honest with them, he is also threatening them implicitly - if they really dare to do something to undermine the great cause, or to harm Wenquxingjun, they will probably be the next to be killed by the extraterritorial demon.

However, it was precisely because Wenquxingjun showed such ferocity that several powerful people began to admire him to some extent.

Even the Nine Dragon Star God, who had decided to betray long ago, had to admit that the Wenqu Star God was cruel and ruthless enough, and was indeed a person who could do great things.

"So, let's think of a solution."

Wenquxingjun continued to ask.

"What should we do with this demon's brain?"

“…There is a way.”

A powerful man suddenly spoke. He was a powerful man carrying a weapons box on his back.

"This has to start with the Demon Brain. As everyone knows, the only things that could be transformed into demonic soldiers in the past were the hands and feet of the Demon, or its legs and arms. Of course, I also know that there is also a tongue, but these things all have one thing in common... that is, they can be used directly to attack from the very beginning."

"what do you mean……"

Upon hearing this powerful reminder, the original body of Wenquxingjun immediately thought of the key.

Yes, it seems to be true. Now, the parts of the extraterritorial demon that can be transformed into weapons can be used to directly attack. Even the pair of extraterritorial demon's eyeballs in his hands can also be used to intimidate the opponent with sight.

Only the brain, only the brain of this extraterritorial demon, is the only thing that cannot be used to attack directly.

Hit with hands, kick with feet, smash with arms, push with legs... these are all ways to attack directly, but when it comes to the brain, hitting people with the skull is common, but the brain itself, such a fragile thing, how can it be used in combat?
"what do you mean……"

I had a vague guess about the true nature of Wenquxingjun.

"Does this Devil's Brain need something else as a base for it to work?"

"That's probably what it means."

The powerful man carrying the weapons box nodded.

"The Demon Brain itself cannot be used as a weapon, but after being combined with other weapons, this Demon Brain may have some magical powers."

"That... is indeed a good idea."

Hearing this, Wenquxingjun also nodded repeatedly.

However, although it worked in theory, finding a weapon as the basis is still a problem - but for a group of powerful people, this is extremely simple. For example, the powerful person who is carrying a weapon box on his back directly gave his own plan.

"When I was young, in order to prove my truth, I left behind a set of teachings in the mortal world."

The powerful man carrying a weapons box said this casually.

"It's probably one of their more popular evil spirit weapons. I modified it and made it the best in the world... I just need to pick up a few of them and it will work."

"Number one in the world? You actually did it?"

The Lord of Nine Dragons was dumbfounded for a moment. You know, he had once wanted to find the best paintbrush in the world, but who could have thought that the thing he had been pursuing so hard back then was actually just a casual arrangement by another powerful man.

And judging from the current situation, the other party may not even remember it.

The source of his power seemed like a joke to these higher-level beings.
