I borrowed my brain from the Emperor

"I was ambushed by the demon cultivators this time when I went out, and I don't remember a lot of things."

Chen Luo explained the direction of the book in his hand to Zhong Yan.

"It's all my fault for being useless."

Zhong Yan's eyes flashed with self-blame. When Lu Chen went down the mountain, she wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Lu Chen.

Master Lingxuzi is about to pass the tribulation, and they are the only two cultivators who have reached the level of Divine Transformation in the sect.

Junior brother Wu Cheng was only at the Jindan stage, still struggling with the first step of cultivating immortals, and had no way to stay in the sect. In desperation, Lu Chen had to go down the mountain alone, and she stayed behind to guard the sect. This led to the subsequent experience. Now hearing that Lu Chen was injured, Zhong Yan instinctively felt guilty.

If she had been more resolute and gone down the mountain with her senior brother, she might not have encountered this incident.

"There is no absolutely safe place in the world of immortal cultivation. It is already a fluke that I can come back alive."

Chen Luo comforted him.

Then he changed the subject and talked about Lingxu Cave.

"When Master broke through to the Return to Void Realm, he stole the Nine Nether Fruit from the Yangzhi Master. Now that the Yangzhi Master has broken through to the Hedao Realm, he will definitely find a way to retaliate. Master chose to forcibly overcome the calamity because he sensed the danger, but unfortunately man proposes, God disposes."

When talking about the sect, Zhong Yan's face became even more worried.

"The Hedao realm?"

Chen Luo suddenly felt a little restless.

He didn't expect that he would encounter such a big pit after picking up an identity at random. Although he was also in the Hedao realm and a Hedao cultivator who had survived the inner demon tribulation, he didn't want to confront the Hedao cultivators as soon as he came out. This was not in line with his original intention. Exposing it too early would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

"I broke through two years ago. If you calculate the time, I have come out now."

After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent.

There is a big pit in Lingxu Dongtian. Chen Luo plans to go down the mountain later and find an opportunity to dig a grave. Change the vest of Lingxu Dongtian Lu Chen on his body. In this way, the conflict between Lingxu Dongtian and Yangji Zun has nothing to do with him.

He is not the real Lu Chen, so there is no need for him to help Lingxuzi ward off disaster.

"Master, please help take care of this."

"Master said that if you can't keep it, you can take the treasure away."

They both spoke at the same time.

Chen Luo had just stood up, but when he heard the word "that treasure", he immediately sat back down.

As the eldest disciple of Lingxu Dongtian, there are some things he must take responsibility for!
Only he can bear it.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Chen Luo comforted Zhong Yan and turned to walk towards Lingxu Cave Heaven. He was going to have a good talk with his master. The sect was at a critical juncture, and it was time to hand over the assets to him, the chief disciple, to inherit.

After the two separated, Chen Luo walked along the mountain road of Lingxu Cave Heaven.

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped.

'murderous look.'

'Yangdang Dao method.'

Several thoughts popped up in the external brain at once.

In the setting sun, a middle-aged man with white hair was standing at the end of the steps of Lingxu Cave, looking down at him condescendingly, as if he was looking at an ant.

Chen Luo sensed a dangerous aura!

Lingxuzi?
No! It's the Anode Venerable.

Chen Luo narrowed his eyes, and the robes around him began to float. If he really encountered danger, he would definitely abandon his identity as Lu Chen at the first opportunity.

As for the subsequent troubles.

Think about it later!

This Yangji Venerable was completely different from what Zhong Yan described. If he was a cultivator who had just broken through to the initial stage of Hedao, it would be impossible for him to give him such a strong sense of oppression. The only explanation was that the other party's cultivation was more than just the initial stage of Hedao. The rumor that he had just broken through was probably a smokescreen released by this person. In addition to his cultivation, he also had a kind of "Yangji Dao Fa".

This is a power unique to this world of immortal cultivation.

The white-haired middle-aged man on the mountain still looked indifferent, with no intention of taking any action.

The two men just faced each other across the stairs, one above and one below.

It's almost dusk.

The human shadows were like a curtain, blocking the way up the mountain.

"Cough cough."

After an unknown amount of time, a violent coughing sound came from behind, interrupting this balance. Chen Luo felt relieved, and when he looked at the mountain road ahead, there was no Yangji Xianzun.

'trouble.'

Chen Luo did not rush up the mountain, but weighed the pros and cons.

The water in Lingxu Cave was deeper than he had expected.

'It was a bit beyond my expectations.'

Chen Luo turned around and prepared to leave, but as soon as he raised his hand, he found that there was a mark on the back of his hand.

A 'Yang' character mark.

This was left behind when Venerable Yangji left, which means that during the brief contact just now, his strength attracted the attention of Venerable Yangji.

This mark made Chen Luo stay.

"Why don't you come up?"

Lingxuzi's voice came from above. Hearing the voice, Chen Luo suppressed all distracting thoughts and followed the steps to the top of the mountain.

There is a wooden Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

Lingxuzi sat cross-legged in the main hall of the Taoist temple, facing the statue. From the direction of the gate, only the back of the figure could be seen. "Disciple greets Master."

Chen Luo walked to the door and bowed to Lingxuzi.

"He wasn't scared away. His character is much stronger than your junior brother's."

Lingxuzi's voice was very weak, and Chen Luo could sense his physical condition. Although he had broken through to the Hedao realm, he had used a tricky method, and was far inferior to a Hedao cultivator who had broken through normally. If it weren't for the Lingxu Cave Heaven Mountain, Chen Luo was sure that Lingxuzi would not be a match for the Yangji Venerable.

Even if he had the geographical advantage of Lingxu Cave Heaven, Lingxuzi didn't have much chance of winning. It was because Venerable Yangji didn't want to get hurt, otherwise Lingxu Cave Heaven would have been destroyed by him long ago.

"Master, are you talking about Junior Brother?"

Chen Luo remembered that Zhong Yan had told him that Lingxuzi had three disciples in total. The two of them were at the Spiritualization Realm, and the younger disciple Wu Cheng was only at the Core Formation Realm. Judging from Lingxuzi's description just now, the white-haired middle-aged man had also come into contact with Wu Cheng, but the performance of this third disciple disappointed Lingxuzi.

"Talent is easy to find, but character is hard to find." Lingxuzi sighed.

There has never been a shortage of geniuses in this world. For a strong man like Lingxuzi, as long as he is willing to accept disciples, there are countless people who would rush to become his disciples.

He has seen geniuses with superior and even top-grade spiritual roots.

But aptitude is only useful in the early stages. When it comes to the second step of cultivating immortals, the most important thing is character. People with insufficient character cannot cross the threshold of the spirit transformation no matter how good their aptitude is. The spirit transformation realm is like a natural moat, blocking all those with insufficient character from entering.

"You can come back at this time, which proves that you still have the sect in your heart. It's a pity that I don't know if I can survive this disaster."

Lingxuzi said a lot.

Chen Luo listened quietly at the side.

He roughly saw Lingxuzi's condition. The injuries on this person were definitely not as simple as the heavenly tribulation that Zhong Yan said. Even the state of his soul was a little wrong. If it was just a thunder tribulation, it would definitely not hurt him to this extent. It would only be possible if the inner demon tribulation was superimposed.

'These people are dishonest.'

Back mountain.

The residence of the third disciple Wu Cheng.

The three disciples of Lingxu Dongtian usually live separately. Lingxuzi is very good to his disciples in this regard. The place where each disciple lives is full of spiritual energy.

At this moment, Wu Cheng was standing respectfully beside him. The white-haired middle-aged man who had confronted Chen Luo on the mountain road before was standing by the window, looking at the top of the mountain from afar.

"Are you sure you checked his soul?"

"Confirmed, the one used was Master's magical weapon."

Wu Cheng said affirmatively.

On the first day when the senior brother came back, he and Zhong Yan went to pick him up. When they first met, senior sister Zhong Yan secretly checked the senior brother's spirit and breath, and only took him back to the mountain after confirming that there was no problem.

"That would be interesting"

A smile appeared on the corner of the white-haired middle-aged man's mouth.

He was sure that the man was not Lu Chen. When he was on the mountain before, he used a trace of soul energy. If Lu Chen was in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he would definitely not be able to block this breath. But the man on the mountain not only blocked it, but also made him feel a little threatened.

Could threaten his existence.

He must also be a cultivator of the Hedao sect!

A Hedao cultivator who suddenly appeared and deceived the soul detection of old ghost Lingxu is not a simple person at all.

The white-haired middle-aged man's expression suddenly froze, and a telepathic message appeared in his mind.

"You haven't got it yet?"

"I ran into a little trouble."

The white-haired middle-aged man waved his hand to signal Wu Cheng to leave, walked to the side and started communicating with the consciousness in his mind.

"Hurry up and don't forget the 'silkworm' in your body."

"You don't need to remind me."

The white-haired middle-aged man disconnected with a gloomy face, and his eyes dropped to look at his chest. There was a black Bagua pattern there, and in the middle of the pattern, a round poisonous insect with six pairs of wings lay there, like a parasite, constantly absorbing his vitality.

Life silkworm Gu.

Exchange your life for cultivation.

The reason why Venerable Yangji was able to break through the Hedao realm so quickly was because he sold his own life.

Now all his cultivation comes from this insect and the master behind it.

night.

Chen Luo avoided Zhong Yan and Ling Xuzi and went down the mountain alone.

After going down the mountain, Chen Luo headed eastward and encountered several powerful auras along the way. These people all had their own purposes. After sensing the aura of Lingxu Dongtian on Chen Luo, they avoided him from a distance.

Lingxu Cave Heaven is now the center of the vortex, and the strong people nearby know something about it more or less.

No one wants to wade into this muddy water.

Chen Luo did not go down the mountain to ask these people for help. He followed the place he remembered and flew to a deserted mountain before starting to descend.

This place is Lonely Mountain.

More than seven hundred years ago, a relic appeared on the Jiliao Mountain. It was here that Lingxuzi defeated the Yangji Venerable and snatched the Jiuyou Fruit from him, thus creating this feud.

Chen Luo was not here to explore the ruins, as the ruins in Jiliao Mountain had already been explored. After more than 700 years, everything that could be dug in this place had already been dug away, leaving only a wasteland, with only some casual cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages active here.

Chen Luo spread out his spiritual sense until he saw a pitch-black mound of earth and then fell down.

"It should be right here."

Chen Luo used his spiritual sense to sense it, and took out a shovel from the cave gourd.

He is here to dig graves! (End of this chapter)
