I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

The energy of the sacred tree poured down, and a layer of energy like a tree membrane wrapped around his body. The vines dragged his body slowly upward. The surrounding scenery kept moving downward. After an unknown amount of time, the vines stopped shrinking and the resin bubbles also stopped.

Gulp.

The resin bubble trembled, as if reminding Chen Luo that he had arrived.

Chen Luo looked around and found that he had arrived at the trunk of the sacred tree, with huge branches tens of meters wide under his feet.

After tearing open the resin bubble, a gust of fresh air blew in from outside. The fragrance of grass and trees mixed with the smell of resin condensate. On both sides were abysses, and behind was the gray bark. Looking up, only spiral branches and dense leaves could be seen. These leaves were like green jade, emitting a translucent luster. Some light green grass demons shuttled around the sacred tree.

"Is this the place where 'Soul Refining Heart' is located?"

Chen Luo walked along the tree trunk for a while and found a place that looked like a bird's nest.

There was a tree house on top of the bird's nest that was made from hollowed-out pine cones. When Chen Luo approached, the door of the tree house opened, and a squirrel wearing a straw raincoat was facing away from him. Its furry tail blocked all vision, so Chen Luo couldn't see the squirrel's face clearly.

"If you don't cut off your mortal heart, you won't be able to become an immortal."

The raincoat squirrel turned around, and Chen Luo's eyes flickered as he looked at its appearance. This raincoat squirrel actually looked exactly like the Third Uncle in his memory. But this was obviously impossible, as the Third Uncle was just a mortal, and it was impossible for him to live that long. Not to mention that this was the Immortal Realm, and it was unknown how far away from his hometown, Yue State, it was impossible for the Third Uncle to appear here even if he was not dead.

The straw raincoat squirrel put down the wooden sign in his hand and walked to the door of the tree house.

"For mortals, it is easy to gain strength but difficult to give up one's heart. If you want to become an immortal, you must cut off everything. Only by facing your own heart can you become a true immortal."

Before Chen Luo could say anything, the figure of the straw raincoat squirrel at the door suddenly shook, and its body dispersed like a phantom. The inky black particles dragged a long arc in the air, and the afterimage was like a rainbow.

Bang!

The raincoat squirrel seemed to teleport and hit Chen Luo's chest hard. His body exploded like a water drop. Chen Luo was carried away from the branch where the tree house was. Gravity came from below, pulling his body to fall into the abyss. Everything around him seemed to be fixed by this force.

Chen Luo suddenly woke up, and the immortal power around him dissipated, allowing him to find a landing point at the fastest speed. He jumped lightly, and the whole person was like a light swan, stepping on the falling leaves and landing on another branch.

laugh.

The branch was covered with green moss, and my feet slid for a long distance before they could stabilize.

Unlike the previous branch, this branch is very desolate.

There were no vines or resin bubbles on the edge, and the surroundings were covered with green moss. Not far away, near the tree trunk, there were a dozen crooked vine houses. Where the tree trunk should have been, there was now a tree hole.

A cold wind blew from below.

Chen Luo transferred his spiritual power to his feet and walked along the tree branch path. The rattan house looked even more desolate. In addition to the moss, there were only some spiders and poisonous insects, as well as some clumps of leaves. A few stones were mixed in the wooden house, and some traces of human carving could be vaguely seen.

It looks like the tadpole script of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, but a little different.

"What is this place?"

Chen Luo frowned.

He paid money to get here, but now he got nothing and was inexplicably bumped into here by a squirrel.

Snap!

Chen Luo dug a stone from the vine house.

'It's different from the spell of Yuhua Xianmen.'

Among the external brains, the one specifically responsible for studying text quickly gave feedback, confirming Chen Luo's previous guess.

Chen Luo searched all the dozen or so rattan houses, but didn't find anything valuable inside. He didn't stop until he reached the tree hole.

The cold wind was pouring out of the tree hole continuously, and the smell of decay mixed with the wind of grass and trees blew out from inside, making people feel uneasy. Chen Luo tried to sense it with his spiritual sense, but there was no feedback. This tree hole was like a bottomless pit, and there was no way to find the bottom.

Chen Luo took out the stones he had dug earlier and threw them down into the tree hole.

The crisp sound hits the inner wall of the tree hole and fades away

"who?!"

A deep voice came from the tree hole.

Anyone?

Chen Luo took out a piece of talisman paper from the cave gourd, lit it and threw it in again. The flames slowly fell along the tree hole, and along with it was the talisman paper figurine that Chen Luo had casually folded.

The little talisman paper figure stepped on the flame, and his smart little eyes kept looking around.

After falling for about half a quarter of an hour, the energy of the talisman paper under his feet was exhausted, and the talisman paper figurine also spontaneously combusted. Just when the talisman paper figurine was about to burn out, Chen Luo finally saw a circular open space. This place was like a tree knot, with a part protruding outward. This special structure gave the well-like tree hole an extra platform for people to stand on.

On the edge of the platform, a disheveled woman was sitting cross-legged.

The voice that Chen Luo heard before was made by this woman.

"Talisman paper? But it's a talisman!"

The woman looked at the burnt talisman in front of her and asked again. This time, there was more urgency in her words.

"Who are you?"

Chen Luo asked. As a "customer" who paid to come in, Chen Luo felt that he had to have a good talk with these little monsters in the fairy grass forest. Customers spent money to come in, so they should be served well. How could they cheat customers like this!

"I was trapped here by the tree demon in the fairy grass forest."

Hearing Chen Luo's voice, the woman became anxious. She subconsciously moved her body, and Chen Luo's consciousness immediately captured her state.

I saw that the white-haired woman's body was covered with dense vines.

These vines were like shackles, binding her tightly to the tree. The tiny roots penetrated her skin and were desperately sucking the spiritual energy from her body.

"The Immortal Grass Forest is not a place for cultivation at all. They tricked us here just to absorb our spiritual power and use us to plant trees!!"

The woman's voice was full of urgency. In order to prove the truth of her words, she tore off her clothes, revealing her body pierced by stubble.

Chen Luo frowned and said nothing.

He didn't believe Xiancao Lin, nor did he believe this woman who suddenly appeared. He trusted his own judgment more than what others said.

“I hope you can do me a favor.”

“No time.”

Chen Luo decisively refused.

But the woman was faster. She quickly turned around the little spiritual power left in her body, pulled out a strand of hair and threw it up into the cold wind from the tree hole.

"You don't have to help me! Please bring a message to my senior brother. You don't need to say anything, just take this hair with you, and my senior brother will know where I am, and I can be rescued. As long as you do this, it will be a good relationship with my Fengyun Sect, and my master and senior brother will definitely repay you."
