Chapter 413: The Way of Gu Qie, I Am the Only One

"Ming!"

In the sky above the gray ancient domain, a strange bird covered with tumors and sparse feathers suddenly raised its head and let out a scream.

Immediately afterwards, a sword light came from the belly of this huge strange bird.

The torn wound made the strange bird begin to struggle in pain.

So that it could only stabilize its body shape while slowly descending.

Not long after the wound on the abdomen appeared, a ferocious demon fox's head poked out from the wound.

It's just that the demon fox's current state is very miserable.

Not only did a sword mark appear on his head that was so deep that he could see the bone.

His eyes were full of fear, as if he was avoiding something.

But before the demon fox could escape, a strong suction force pulled it back again.

Not long after, the strange bird that was still struggling quickly calmed down.

Immediately afterwards, the gaping wound on his abdomen began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the strange bird took off again, it continued flying along the established route.

Everything seemed to be calm again.

However, all this is just an appearance.

The belly of the strange bird He from Daqianshan Mountain.

"Master, is this the end?"

Little White Deer looked at Lu Chen who seriously injured Lord Fox with a sword and then sealed him with a mysterious bell, his eyes filled with 'stars'.

That's called worship.

As for the other mountain owners.

These mountain owners were ignored by Little White Deer from the beginning.

After all, during Lu Chen's period of seclusion, she was the real and unnamed mountain owner of Biyou Mountain.

Can these mountain masters cause trouble for her powerful master?

It must be impossible.

The actual situation is similar to what Xiaobai Lu thought.

Although those mountain masters felt the killing intent in Lu Chen.

But being confined in He's stomach, they couldn't even use their greatest support, the Law of Heaven and Earth.

Without Fa Tian Xiang Di, these mountain masters at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage were as weak as new recruits in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't do anything deliberately.

Just by unfolding the Samadhi True Fire, they were burned in the fire one by one, and their souls were scattered.

If it weren't for He taking him to the inheritance place of 'Jiao Lord'.

Lu Chen could even burn the strange bird carrying him to death.

Because he saw it early.

He looks like a living creature on the surface, but it is actually just a special ancient magic weapon.

Empty body, no soul.

This kind of ancient magical weapon that maintains the characteristics of living creatures is a unique refining method of the ancient nine realms.

From the ancient monks to the monks who have just entered the practice, they can basically master one or two, and it is not considered a secret method.

Lu Chen speculated that the so-called 'Jiao Lord' was largely a product similar to He.

It is just an inheritance machine with empty avenues but no soul.

Lu Chen even saw some traces of the 'Nine Lights Lock' in Zhonghe's refining techniques.

In other words, it is the source of the secret technique of Jiuyao Suoji.

Although the two are different in form, they are quite different in origin.

Maybe this is the Jiuyao Locking Technique specially used to seal and capture Gu Yi.

This is what the immortals studied from the ancient methods.

Learning from the barbarians and developing skills to control the barbarians is nothing more than this.

Lu Chen looked at Lord Fox, who was seriously injured by his sword and imprisoned directly in the soul-suppressing bell, and lowered his head to observe.

Although Lu Chen had killed many ancient monks so far.

Maybe not many were captured alive.

There is one in the Soul Calming Bell right now.

As for the previous tenant of the Soul-Suppressing Bell, he was completely refined by Lu Chen not long ago and became the nourishment of the Soul-Suppressing Bell.

However, Lu Chen was not prepared to feed Lord Fox to the Soul-Calming Bell this time.

After all, the newly awakened Eternal Life Sword undoubtedly needs more 'nourishment' than the Soul-Calming Bell.

And before that, Lu Chen still needed to ask some questions from Lord Fox.

"Little White Deer, you stay here first. If anything happens, you can inform me directly."

"Oh well."

After the explanation, Lu Chen also entered the soul-suppressing bell.

Only the little white deer was left outside the Soul-Calming Bell, staring with big eyes.

Inside the soul-crushing bell.

At this time, Lord Fox had long lost the arrogance he had when he appeared on the stage.

Her limbs were bound by chains that came out of nowhere inside the soul-crushing bell.

There was even a deep sword wound on his forehead.

If it were just an ordinary sword wound, Lord Fox would not take it seriously at all.

After all, for the mountain masters of Daqian Mountain, the physical body is just a shell that can be replaced at any time.

Just trying to find a good body is not an easy thing.

Therefore, Venerable Fox is very satisfied with his current physical body, and he takes good care of it on weekdays, for fear of getting bumped into.

But the current Lord Fox can't care about that much.

Because at this time, she deeply felt something called death.

That strange sword cultivator is definitely not from Daqianshan.

His swordsmanship, his flames, and even the little bell that imprisoned him.

It's weird inside and out.

It is incompatible with the ancient methods.

It's more like the methods of those cultivators in the world of immortality they invaded not long ago.

How did an immortal cultivator end up in their ancient world?

How many people are there like Lu Chen?

For a moment, Lord Fox's head was in a mess.

The threat of death, a strange and powerful immortal cultivator.

Everything was told to her.

If she can't come up with something that the other party is interested in.

Maybe I will die here completely.

Just when Lord Fox was thinking a lot, a figure appeared in front of her.

Seeing the reappearance of Lu Chen, Lord Fox immediately begged for mercy without caring about the face of the Great Mountain Lord: "Let me go, let me go. I know many secrets of the Great Thousand Mountains, and I still have many treasures."

"As long as you let me go, I can give you all these things. I can even sign an ancient contract with you and be your slave. I will never betray you forever."

I heard that Venerable Fox was so eager to show his value as soon as they met.

Lu Chen was not moved at all.

After so many contacts with them, Lu Chen already knew what kind of group the Guji monks were.

No matter how nice they say it now, their twisted hearts will always reveal the darkness of their humanity at the right time.

There is no trust in this group of people.

"If you want to negotiate terms with me, you'd better show your true identity first."

While speaking, Lu Chen waved his hand.

Then the chains wrapped around Lord Fox's body were immediately embedded into his body.

Not long after, Lord Fox screamed.

An old man with a big head and a small body and a tumor on his forehead was dragged out by Lu Chen.

Looking at the short, ugly old man in front of him.

Even though Lu Chen was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel amazed in his heart.

This group of ancient monks are really playing tricks on each other.

There were mountain masters from Daqian Mountain in front of me, and each one of them cultivated himself into something like a human or a ghost.

First there was the Venerable Fox who changed from male to female and from human to fox.

This is no longer a gender, this has simply changed the species.

Although from the first meeting, Lu Chen used Qinglian Pu to vaguely see the true nature of Lord Fox.

But at that time, he didn't look much at it, and in order not to arouse Lord Fox's vigilance in advance.

Lu Chen never saw his true identity directly.

I just know that this guy is completely different from his appearance.

But Lu Chen didn't expect this difference to be so different.

And when I think about such an ugly, short, strange old man, he has a lot of handsome faces behind his back.

Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little weird.

This game... is a bit too expensive.

At this time, Venerable Fox, who had been caught by Lu Chen, felt panic for the first time.

He covered his face with his hands, as if he didn't want anyone to see his true appearance.

In this regard, he is completely different from other Daqianshan monks.

The other Daqianshan all majored in cultivating the true spirit and regarded the appearance and flesh as nothing.

When it comes to Lord Fox, it seems to be just the opposite.

He seems to value appearances more than his true spirit.

For such an alien to be able to cultivate to the level of the Mountain Master in the Daqian Mountains, there must be something unique about him.

Without wasting too much time, Lu Chen directly raised his hand.

The next second, Lord Fox felt as if his true spirit was being placed in a fiery alchemy furnace.

There was obviously no flame around.

But the terrifying heat burned it with frequent screams.

At this point, Lord Fox no longer cares about 'die in the light'.

He kept begging Lu Chen for mercy.

But Lu Chen was unmoved by this and continued to use the art of creation.

In the process, Lu Chen discovered something strange.

There seemed to be something missing deep within Lord Fox's true spirit.

Venerable Fox himself didn't notice this thing, but Lu Chen, who refined it, saw it clearly.

Although Lu Chen didn't know what was missing for the time being.

But thinking about it, this thing is the biggest difference between ancient monks and immortal cultivators.

After a while, the refining ended.

Lu Chen directly controlled the fragment of the true spirit and began to watch the memory of Lord Fox.

Lord Fox's past is not complicated.

The newly born Lord Fox was abandoned by his parents in the wilderness early because of his strange appearance.

However, its life should not be cut off. For some reason, a wild fox did not regard it as food after discovering it, but adopted it on its behalf.

Lu Chen took a closer look and discovered the clues.

The most distinctive feature of Venerable Fox is the sarcoma on his forehead.

And this sarcoma seems to contain some kind of power.

So much so that even when Lord Fox was a baby, he activated it on his own initiative and bewitched the wild fox.

In the following memories, Lord Fox's life experience gradually became distorted.

Because he has been with foxes since he was a child, Lord Fox also thinks that he is a fox.

By chance, Lord Fox was discovered by a Daqian Mountain monk.

The other party originally came to capture some fox demons in the wild to make alchemy, but unexpectedly they discovered the Lord Fox.

Seeing this monster with a human face and a fox heart, the Daqianshan monk immediately became interested.

So he took him back to the cave, locked him up with other animals, and raised him in captivity.

It can only be said that the logic of the other party's behavior is very consistent with Lu Chen's stereotype of the ancient monks.

If nothing unexpected happened, Lord Fox should be treated as a rare and exotic object and kept in a cage until he died of old age.

And just fifteen years after Lord Fox was brought to Daqian Mountain.

The Daqianshan monk who brought him back mysteriously disappeared.

Although Venerable Fox has not received any systematic education for so many years.

But he also observed the monk's cultivation process many times.

Also gradually mastered his own ‘natural power’.

That’s right, in Lu Chen’s opinion, the tumor on Fox Venerable’s forehead.

It was the ancient world version of the natural power.

With the help of the natural power, Fox Venerable controlled the other animals in the cave and released himself.

Then Fox Venerable directly occupied the cave.

And borrowed the resources in the cave and officially embarked on the road of cultivation.

In the years to come, Fox Venerable relied on his unique talent and his own outstanding cultivation talent.

Although he encountered crises many times, he finally escaped danger all the way and finally became the master of Daqian Mountain.

And Lu Chen finally saw what he wanted in this part of the memory.

One is how Fox Venerable broke through to the God Transformation Stage at that time.

The second is where are the ancient gods in Daqian Mountain who are comparable to the Mahayana stage.

There are not many scenes of Fox Venerable breaking through to the God Transformation Stage, and many of them seem to be affected by some kind of power.

Resulting in a lot of missing memories.

Lu Chen only saw that the other party entered the ancient domain similar to himself.

After coming out of the ancient domain, the other party became the Great Mountain Master of the Spiritualization Stage.

As for what happened in the ancient domain, Lu Chen had no way of knowing.

Although the memories of Fox Venerable after becoming the Great Mountain Master were complete, there were not many useful places.

The only useful one was that he had entered the core of Daqian Mountain.

What made Lu Chen speechless was that Lu Chen only knew where this place was, but he also didn't know what happened after Fox Venerable entered.

I think these two missing memories are the most critical places for the Gu Qie lineage.

"I thought I could gain something, but I didn't expect it to be a fog and I couldn't see the true appearance."

After regretting it, Lu Chen immediately prepared to throw the true spirit fragment refined by Fox Venerable to the Changsheng Sword.

But halfway through throwing it, Lu Chen seemed to think of something and suddenly observed the true spirit fragment in his hand.

After a moment, he seemed to understand something and suddenly realized it.

"So that's how it is. The so-called fake power is essentially just a group of meat animals helping Gu Qie to practice."

"The other party lends power to the cultivators below. These cultivators seem unable to practice while using this power. In fact, it is only because most of the cultivation results they have realized are taken away by Gu Qie above."

"No wonder, no wonder these Gu Qie don't care about the death of their subordinates, and no wonder they can easily cultivate a large number of cultivators."

"In essence, these cultivators are just their slaves, and all the cultivation results will be taken away by them at a specific time."

"After taking it away, in order to encourage the other party to continue working hard, Gu Qie will give these guys some of their own successful cultivation results."

"What a bone-sucking marrow, these guys really use the word squeeze to the fullest."

Lu Chen looked at the true spirit fragment in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

He had been wondering what was missing from the true spirit fragment of Fox Venerable.

Later, Lu Chen discovered that what was missing was the most precious thing for cultivators.

That is the understanding of the Great Dao in the true spirit of the cultivator.

And this is also the fundamental reason why Gu Qie always thought that they could only become stronger by devouring or receiving gifts from Gu Qie.

From the beginning, they were not unable to practice.

It's just that their success in practice was taken away by Gu Qie who gave them power.

The huge Gu Qie Nine Realms seemed to be prosperous, with cultivators everywhere.

In fact, these cultivators were just walking meat animals kept by Gu Qie.
