I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

The fishing line, which had been unresponsive before, suddenly straightened. Gu He grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it up.

The hook drew a long arc in the air, followed by a string of crystal clear water droplets. A big black carp was brought out of the sea of ​​clouds, its body twisting in the air, its scales gleaming silver-green in the sun. The fish's tail slapped heavily on the mud on the shore, making a dull "slap" sound, splashing the mud, mixed with a few broken water plants.

"You are in for a treat. These cloud fish are very smart. Normally I may not be able to catch one even after fishing for ten days or half a month."

A smile appeared on Gu He's face, and he reached out and threw the big black carp into the bucket beside him.

Chen Luo walked over and sat down next to Gu He.

Gu He handed him a fishing rod, and the uncle and nephew sat on the shore and started fishing like ordinary people. The sea of ​​clouds was rolling, and the scenery was picturesque.

“What’s the world like outside?”

Furukawa suddenly asked.

“It’s a mess.”

Chen Luo thought for a moment and added another description.

“It’s also very big.”

"Are there any immortals?"

"have."

"How's that for you?"

"almost."

"Have you achieved immortality?"

"not yet"

The two of them asked and answered each other, and time passed by unnoticed. The sun set in the west, dyeing the sea of ​​clouds golden, and the setting sun shone over, illuminating the faces of the two people red. The big black fish that was caught was motionless, lying in the bucket, as if it had accepted its fate.

"Longevity."

Gu He sighed and put away the fishing rod in his hand.

He picked up the fish bucket next to him and walked towards the thatched house next to him. Gu He hadn't been back for a long time. The affairs of Qionghua Sect were basically managed by the second generation disciples. He, the ancestor, spent most of his time practicing in the mountains.

Chen Luo could sense Gu He's cultivation level.

Return to the peak of the void.

After retrieving his past life's accumulation, Gu He reached the limit of the Emperor's Tomb world. The Hedao Realm is a realm that the Emperor's Tomb cannot surpass. Unless Gu He leaves the Qionghua Sect or goes back eight thousand years like Chen Luo through the "Borrowing the Ancients" formation, he will never be able to break through the Hedao Realm.

But it is obvious that Gu He will not choose either of these two paths.

Everyone has his own way and his own path to stick to.

If it were in the past, Gu He might have chosen to leave with Chen Luo to see the outside world of immortal cultivation and fight for the illusory "immortality". But not now. Since his junior sister Mu Jianyu passed away, Gu He's mentality has undergone a huge change.

The path to immortality is not just about longevity.

There are also people around us. If these people are not around, what is the meaning of immortality?

"The big bluefish from Yunhai is Junior Sister Mu's favorite."

Gu He brought Chen Luo to the back mountain of the Qionghua Sect.

This place is completely different from the prosperity of the previous mountain. It is bleak and desolate. On the ground, dense green weeds grow wantonly, almost covering the original mountain road. When the mountain wind blows, the weeds rise and fall like waves, making a rustling sound.

In the distance, two lonely graves stood quietly in the weeds. There were no tombstones, nor the restrictions and caves commonly used by cultivators. They were just simple grave mounds. Two wild flowers grew on the graves, swaying gently in the wind.

One of these two tombs was left behind when Gu He was reincarnated, and the other one was Mu Jianyu's.

The elder who had protected the Qionghua Sect through the most difficult period finally exhausted his lifespan and quietly passed away here. Chen Luo did not have a deep impression of his uncle Mu Jianyu. The deepest contact was when he broke through the Hedao realm and used the "Borrowing the Ancients". But in Gu He's heart, Mu Jianyu was special.

In order to find the correct path to immortality, the seven ancestors of Qionghua reincarnated into the lower world.

Only Mu Jianyu stayed in the upper realm, guarding the Qionghua Sect alone, guarding this common home for everyone. Perhaps it was because of Gu He's words at the beginning, or perhaps it was because of some other reason.

Gu He had reincarnated once, but the experience of reincarnation was unknown to all the immortal cultivators above the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

"have."

Chen Luo was silent for a while, then nodded. He thought of the Void Realm. When the Immortal Emperor Changqing created the Void Realm, was he also trying to bring back the lost ones, just like Gu He in front of him?

"That's good."

Gu He smiled with relief.

He placed the roasted fish in front of the grave, found a stone to sit on, and gestured to Chen Luo.

"Sit here."

Chen Luo sat down beside him, took the grilled fish handed to him by Gu He, tore off a piece of fish and took a bite.

The fish was not grilled well and had a burnt smell.

Gu He was roasted with ordinary fire. Since Chen Luo came back, Gu He has not used any magical powers, as if he was really just an old man in the mountains.

"How long will you stay this time?"

Gu He took out a bottle of wine from his storage bag and took a sip.

Chen Luo ate the fish quietly.

The Gu He in front of him was completely different from what he remembered. In his previous memories, Gu He was the master of Taixu Peak and a pure sword cultivator. But now he gave Chen Luo the feeling of an old man who couldn't draw his sword, and there was no sharp aura on him.

"Three days."

“So soon?”

Gu He was a little surprised. He thought Chen Luo would stay for at least a few years after returning, but he didn't expect him to leave so soon.

"I'm going to ascend."

Chen Luo did not plan to stay in the Immortal Cultivation World for too long. After leaving the Emperor's Tomb World this time, he was ready to find the passage to the Immortal World. With his current strength and the external brain on his body, there was almost nothing in the Immortal Cultivation World that could be hidden from him.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Ascension"

Furukawa sighed and took another sip of wine.

"Go see the scenery of the fairyland for me. If you can gain immortality, help me go to the underworld to see your uncle Mu. I owe her too much in this life."

Putting the empty bottle aside, Gu He stood up, patted Chen Luo on the shoulder, and walked down the mountain alone.

Chen Luo sat there and looked back at the two lonely graves beside him.

The mountain breeze is still blowing.

White wild flowers sway in the wind.

"Maybe next time I come back, the other grave will be covered with flowers." Chen Luo stood up and bowed to Mu Jianyu's grave. Then he turned around and walked down the mountain towards the setting sun.

Two days later.

Chen Luo met many old friends and took the time to instruct Mu Xiaoyu and others. He also saw Zi Tianji, the head of the Purple Sect who had come to join the sect and had completely returned to the Qionghua Sect. During the time when Guhe was in seclusion, Zi Tianji was in charge of all the outside affairs, and he also suppressed the invading villains by himself.

Three days passed in a flash.

After resting, Chen Luo set off on his journey home with the flower-backed turtle.

Boom! !

The stone door made a heavy sound. This door that used to require five people to open together was now opened by him alone. In terms of immortal power, Chen Luo is now far superior to Ge Xian. Even if the patriarchs of the nine clans guarding the tomb come, they can't compare to him.

"Walk."

Chen Luo took the lead and stepped through the stone gate.

The flower-backed tortoise followed closely after hearing this. This time when Chen Luo came back, he took him out alone.

Chen Luo originally wanted to take Mu Xiaoyu and Ao Ye out together, but after communicating with Gu He, he changed his mind temporarily. Mu Xiaoyu and Ao Ye's cultivation was too weak, and the outside world of immortal cultivation was too dangerous for them. The flower-backed turtle was different. It was a turtle with top bloodline, and its ability to survive was beyond doubt. Not to mention that the flower-backed turtle's own cultivation had reached the Return to Void Realm, so going to the outside world was an opportunity for him.

Buzz!

A familiar pulling feeling came.

The flower-backed turtle felt his body changing, and the twisting force seemed to crush the shell on his back. Endless darkness wrapped around his body like a whirlpool, spinning in circles. It was unknown how long it had been, but when the flower-backed turtle felt dizzy, he suddenly saw a bright light.

"How come this broken door is even more exaggerated than the cross-domain teleportation array?"

The flower-backed turtle held onto the wall beside him and gasped for breath. Before he could recover, the "wall" he was holding onto with his right hand suddenly began to wriggle, and twisted vines fell from above, wrapping around his arm. Behind him, dense vines fell, and these vines were like poisonous snakes, sweeping towards the two of them indiscriminately.

“It’s you again!!”

The angry voice of the Sophora japonica tree spirit came from afar."

The pupils in Chen Luo's eyes changed, and the master of Wanfa Pavilion's brain instantly took the initiative.

He raised his right hand and grabbed the air in front of him. Star-like magical power emerged on his palm, and he pulled the invisible air into his hand like a quilt. Then he pulled it back fiercely!

boom!!

The air twisted, and all the vines and fallen leaves around were frozen in midair. They were swept aside by this solidified "area".

The vines on both sides that were originally surrounding Chen Luo actually collided with each other as they were pulled and tugged.

Countless vines and tree roots collided with each other, making a loud bang.

Chen Luo put one hand on the flower-backed turtle's shoulder, and when he landed again, he was already in mid-air. The aura of a Mahayana cultivator was released unscrupulously, and the furious locust tree spirit below suddenly froze in place.

"Punishment!"

Chen Luo stomped his foot.

The sole of his foot stepped on the air, creating a circle of ripples that spread out. The power spread downward like an inverted triangle, and the tree roots and vines exploded. In the entire area, the geographical advantages that the locust tree spirit had arranged for thousands of years were crushed by Chen Luo's foot.

The locust tree spirit that was mixed in among them groaned and shrank back into the ground.

This time he was really scared.

Regardless of whether Chen Luo was a demon that escaped from the Emperor's Tomb or a fake Master of the Wanfa Pavilion, he had no intention of provoking him again. If he saw this aura again in the future, he would definitely retreat.
