I borrowed my brain from the Emperor

The black-robed man's plan was doomed to fail. His body exploding did not divert the yellow ghost spider's attention. All seven of the opponent's heads were like crazy, attacking him desperately.

Dense fangs flew over and nailed the black-armored poisonous insects on the ground to death.

The black poisonous insects blown out by the two black-robed men died in large numbers, with most of them killed in just one round of attack. When their figures reassembled again, the two black-robed men became one.

"what happened?!"

The black-robed man looked extremely ugly after losing a clone of the poisonous insect.

Over there, Chen Luo and Zi Tianji had already entered the cave. Apart from the dead high-level people, he was the only one left outside the tomb passage.

"No, we must draw the Yellow Ghost Spider's attention to these two people!"

The man in black robe gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of black blood. The black beetles on the ground crawled out from the cracks like a tide and pounced towards Chen Luo and Zi Tianji at the entrance of the passage.

Although he didn't know what means these two guys used, all he had to do was to lead the aura over there.

After crossing the cave entrance, Chen Luo stopped and turned around to look at the black beetles rushing over from behind. He stretched out his right hand, and a fat poisonous insect appeared in his palm. Without any movement on his part, the beetles that were rushing over seemed to have lost their ability to control themselves, and all turned around and rushed back to where they came from. The black beetles rushed over quickly, and retreated even faster.

"Soul-hosting Gu?!"

The black-robed man's voice changed a little.

As an insect cultivator, he knew better than anyone how terrifying the soul-parasitic insect was.

"Wait, I am willing to compensate, and I also have a secret method in my hands."

Chen Luo withdrew his right hand, grinned at the man in black robe, and said something kindly.

"What's your secret method? Those are all mine."

After saying that, he pushed the edge of the hole with his right hand.

boom! !

The passageway, without the protection of the formation, collapsed instantly under the influence of external forces. The hole that could only allow one person to pass through instantly expanded into a hole more than five meters wide, and a large area of ​​​​fiery red light rushed in. The densely packed three-barbed golden bulls rushed towards the black-robed man like mad dogs smelling meat.

"Get out of here! You didn't catch two living people walking by, but you came to catch a dead person like me!"

The angry roar of the man in black robe was drowned in the flames, but in the blink of an eye it was drowned out by the flames. One could vaguely see the yellow ghost spider lowering its head and tearing a leg from below.
Behind the hole.

Zi Tianji looked at the black-robed man who had been killed and swallowed his saliva subconsciously. Fortunately, he knelt down quickly at the beginning. If he had knelt later, his fate would have been no different from that of the black-robed man.

The dust cleared.

Chen Luo brought Zi Tianji and the other two back to the passage and found a broken skull among a pile of rotten flesh.

"what?"

Chen Luo was slightly surprised when he moved his hand away from the skull.

The panel did not read any useful information, which meant that the black-robed man in front of him who was killed by the Yellow Ghost Spider was not his real body. He walked to the corner and picked up the storage bag that was ignored by the Yellow Ghost Spider and San Kui Jinniu from a pile of rags. After making sure that nothing was missing, Chen Luo took out the Soul Banner and made a simple finishing touch on the battlefield.

"Even the soul fragments were prepared, no wonder they were able to deceive me."

Looking at the residual soul collected in the soul flag, Chen Luo sensed it. The dead clone of the black robe should be a special clone, which contains a part of his original soul, and will cause serious damage to the original body after death.

Return to the hole.

The Yellow Ghost Spider and Sankui Golden Bull, who had killed the enemies, started wandering around again.

In their perception, Chen Luo and Zi Tianji were not foreign cultivators, but "the same kind" as them.

"Why can't they see us?"

Looking at the yellow ghost spider legs falling down beside him, Zi Tianji couldn't help but ask. At such a close distance, the yellow ghost spider couldn't see him at all. This was a sixth-level alien beast, an existence that even the Five Elements Ancestor had a headache about. And the iron lumps next to it, which could not be killed or smashed, would give anyone a headache.

"Illusion."

Chen Luo was walking in front and replied casually.

"Illusion?"

Zi Tianji thought of You Zhao, who had dragged Zhu Chang and escaped into the gap with the Five Elements Patriarch. That woman was a sixth-level illusionist. However, even a sixth-level illusionist could not do this. When they were attacked, You Zhao had used an illusion, but the scope of influence was very limited, not as exaggerated as Chen Luo's current one. He almost regarded this place as his own vegetable garden.

"Isn't our Qionghua Sect a sword-cultivating sect?"

Zi Tianji couldn't help but ask.

Before Jie Gu came, Chen Luo destroyed Taiyuan Sword Sect with one sword, which made Zi Tianji and others believe in his sword cultivation. But after Jie Gu came, Chen Luo never drew his sword again, and the means he used now had nothing to do with sword cultivation.

Could it be that he was practicing both magic and sword?

Zi Tianji remembered that Chen Luo was the 'ninth generation Taixu Sword Master' of the Taixu Sword Sect. According to his understanding of the Taixu Sword Sect, this title could only be inherited by a true sword cultivator. The spiritual weapon-level Taixu Sword was very arrogant, and magic cultivators and physical cultivators would not be recognized by it at all.

"This is the Phantom Sword Technique, a type of supreme swordsmanship." "Phantom Sword Technique?"

Zi Tianji was somewhat skeptical. He had also practiced the Illusion Sword. According to the records of the Qionghua Sect, the Illusion Sword was based on sword energy, which was a combination of true and false. Once the Illusion Sword technique was performed, sword energy was everywhere in the sky and on the ground. It was difficult to distinguish the true and false sword energy, and it was impossible to defend against it. It was a first-class killing sword technique.

No matter how you look at it, the methods Chen Luo used have nothing to do with the phantom sword.

"Don't let your vision limit your swordsmanship. Remember, the bigger your heart is, the stronger the sword in your hand is!"

Chen Luo stopped and gave some profound instructions.

Since he started practicing, he has developed many unique sword techniques, such as "Da Li Jian Dao" and "Qi Pan Jian Dao". Such a powerful sword technique is inseparable from his broad vision and hard work, and has nothing to do with the three methods and external brain.

Zi Tianji was shocked when he heard this.

Suddenly, he felt that the headmaster in front of him had become unfathomable. Thinking back to the previous scene where he destroyed a sect with one sword, he felt that this was the supreme sword art.

He had always taken detours before!
'No wonder my cultivation is stuck at the initial stage of returning to the void and I can't make any progress. It turns out that I have taken the wrong path!'

At this moment, Zi Tianji had completely forgotten the fact that he was an 'Earth-Seed God' and that he needed the 'Tao' to practice.

Behind the hole was a U-shaped corridor, with dim oil lamps hanging on both sides of the khaki tomb bricks. There were also many messy footprints on the ground, and a Sankui Golden Bull that had not yet crossed over noticed the movement and rushed over.

call out!
With one slash of the sword, the Taurus was cut in half.

The scattered puppet parts fell to the ground, splashing a large amount of dust.

Zi Tianji retracted his sword and felt that his swordsmanship had improved a lot. He felt more and more that what Chen Luo had said before was right.

"They've passed."

When he came to the end of the passage, Chen Luo soon discovered the second "robbery hole" at the corner. The Five Elements Patriarchs were not disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, so they naturally could not go through the main entrance of the tomb. This "shortcut" passage was the "robbery hole" that the Five Elements Patriarchs had spent nearly a thousand years calculating, which could avoid the perception of the Ancient Sword Sect and steal the Fire Pattern Mysterious Crystal inside.

"There is a formation"

Zi Tianji stopped and looked down, and saw dense array patterns appearing in front of his right foot.

These array patterns are connected to the main array of the tomb. If one move is linked to the other, the whole body will be affected. It is impossible to break it with brute force. Zhu Chang is a sixth-level array master. He was the one who came up with the method to get through here. Now Chen Luo and Zi Tianji fell behind. If they want to get in, they can only rely on themselves.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Luo picked up a flying stone, drew a simple pattern on the ground, and began to calculate. The formation masters in the external brain became active one by one, and began to help him crack the formation in front of him from different perspectives.

'The earth-based array can be broken with a golden stone.'

'Earth and metal are mutually beneficial. The golden stone can only repair the array pattern. We should use binary heavy water and thunder magic to break it.'

'The earth node is okay, but the fire node is the killer.'

Information from different perspectives collided in his mind, and after eliminating the contradictory parts, he finally came up with a solution that everyone thought was barely feasible.

"Master, do you also know formations?"

Zi Tianji looked at the pattern Chen Luo carved on the ground and began to doubt his life again.

It's fine if it's just the Phantom Sword, but now even the formation has appeared. Will there be equipment refining and talisman drawing in the future? To exaggerate, maybe even curses.

Chen Luo didn't say anything. He missed his second brother, Flowerback Turtle. If Flowerback Turtle was here, he wouldn't ask these useless questions. In comparison, Zi Tianji and his people were still a little behind. They always liked to make a fuss and acted like they had never seen the world.

hum!
Soon, water-like ripples appeared in the formation in front of the two people.

Chen Luo and Zi Tianji easily passed through the cave and entered the inner area of ​​the tomb.

As soon as they walked in, they stopped. A damp and cold wind blew in their faces. The area behind the hole in the wall was not a tomb where the coffin was placed, but a muddy river with no end in sight. The two of them were standing on a large rock in the middle of the river.

Is there a river inside the tomb?

Zi Tianji scanned with his spiritual sense and found that his spiritual sense was unable to penetrate the water surface.

The turbid river water blocks the view, making it impossible to see the underwater scene clearly.

"There is a no-fly ban."

Sensing the power of the surrounding force, Zi Tianji's face looked a little unhappy. If he couldn't fly, then the danger of this river would be uncontrollable. No one knew what was under the river. The perception of his soul kept reminding him not to enter the water, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

'Weak water.'

'The soul cannot cross, the air is forbidden and the spirit is exterminated.'

Looking at the information emerging in the external brain, Chen Luo frowned.

The three Five Elements Ancestors must have been prepared, otherwise they would not have left here before them. This location by the river is very close to the location of the spiritual vein. Even with the Absolute Spiritual Formation, Chen Luo can still sense the remaining fire spiritual power in the air. That is the spiritual power emitted by the Fire Pattern Mysterious Crystal.
