Just as Liu Chen was about to set off for the other four regions, a sudden disturbance came from his immortal aperture.
His heart tightened, and he quickly checked, only to find that an Information Path Gu worm was transmitting a message.
Liu Chen focused his gaze, and this message was actually from Fang Yuan!
Even more surprisingly, Fang Yuan had invited him and Hei Lou Lan to explore a Grotto-heaven together for treasure!
Moreover, the method of distributing the gains had already been determined: if each person obtained something individually, it would belong to that person; if the three of them worked together, Fang Yuan would get 40%, while he and Hei Lou Lan would each get 30%.
"Starry Sky Grotto-heaven?" Liu Chen thought to himself.
Memories of this Grotto-heaven quickly flashed through his mind.
This Grotto-heaven was the territory of Immortal Zombie Seven Star Child, and it housed dozens of Wild Beasts, and even several Ancient Desolate Beasts!
Its resources were unimaginably abundant.
However, Liu Chen also knew the dangers of this Grotto-heaven well.
Not only did it contain star constellation dream realms, but he currently had no dream path methods.
If he were to sink into a dream, he might not only suffer Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, but also potentially be targeted by Heaven's will and transformed into its shape.
But with such an enticing treasure mountain before him, how could Liu Chen easily give up?
After a brief moment of thought, he resolutely decided to accept Fang Yuan's invitation.
Before heading to Fox Immortal Blessed Land, Liu Chen first arrived above a large Mountain Village.
Although this Mountain Village was considerable in size, it wasn't a super force, so naturally, there was no Gu Immortal stationed there.
Therefore, Liu Chen's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
Liu Chen stood high in the sky, looking down at the Mountain Village below, and secretly pondered, "Although the Mortals in this Mountain Village are ordinary and unremarkable, their Luck might be useful to me."
He took a deep breath, then lightly shouted, "Immortal Path Killer Move: Intercept Luck!"
As his voice fell, an invisible force, like surging waves, swept across the entire Mountain Village.
This power seemed to penetrate all obstacles, directly intercepting the Luck of this entire Mortal Mountain Village.
The Mountain Village, whose Luck had been intercepted, immediately fell into chaos.
The once peaceful life was completely shattered, and people began to encounter all sorts of unlucky events.
Some houses suddenly collapsed, people drowned, were poisoned...
All kinds of misfortunes occurred one after another, causing the people in the Mountain Village to complain endlessly.
Just then, a violent tremor suddenly came from below the Mountain Village.
The ground began to crack, smoke and dust billowed, and a giant exotic beast emerged from underground.
This exotic beast was covered in fiery red scales, burning like flames; it was a Red Flame Pangolin!
The appearance of the Red Flame Pangolin plunged the already chaotic Mountain Village into complete despair.
Its power was extremely formidable; wherever it passed, houses collapsed one after another, and people fled in terror.
Although the Gu Masters in the Mountain Village resisted fiercely, they were helpless against such a powerful exotic beast.
The strongest person in the Mountain Village, an elderly Gu Master, tried his best to contend with the Red Flame Pangolin.
He unleashed various Gu techniques, attempting to repel this fierce exotic beast.
However, the Red Flame Pangolin's strength was simply too great, and the elderly Gu Master could only barely hold it off, unable to completely defeat it.
After a thrilling battle, the Red Flame Pangolin was finally repelled, but the Mountain Village was already beyond recognition.
The once bustling Mountain Village was now just a pile of ruins, with severely injured Gu Masters lying in the debris, moaning and weeping.
"I never thought I would become this kind of person one day," Liu Chen looked at the scene below, his heart completely unmoved.
He had now been assimilated by this Gu World, feeling no pity for Mortals, only disappointment that the amount of Luck Path collected this time was too little.
If he had Water Luck or Mountain Luck Immortal Gu, he could directly intercept the Luck from mountains and rivers, which would be several times more than intercepting the Luck of Mortals.
After doing all this, Liu Chen took out a Star Gate Gu from his immortal aperture.
Under his activation, this Gu worm emitted a dazzling light, and a Star Gate slowly opened.
Liu Chen stepped into the Star Gate without hesitation, instantly arriving at Fang Yuan's Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
As soon as he landed, he saw Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan standing not far away, clearly waiting for his arrival.
"We've been waiting for you, there's no time to lose, let's head to that Grotto-heaven now!" Hei Lou Lan couldn't hide her excitement, clearly full of anticipation for that Grotto-heaven.
After all, she had just ascended to an Immortal, resources were scarce, and she didn't even have any resources to manage.
And a Grotto-heaven that could be directly plundered was simply a timely aid for her, so how could she not be moved?
Seeing this, Liu Chen nodded without hesitation, "Mm, then let's set off!"
With that, Fang Yuan immediately opened his immortal aperture and enthusiastically invited Hei Lou Lan and Liu Chen to enter it.
The two also did not hesitate, their figures flashed and they directly disappeared into Immortal Zombie Fang Yuan's dead immortal aperture.
Immediately after, Fang Yuan unhesitatingly activated Fixed Immortal Travel, instantly teleporting them into the Starry Sky Grotto-heaven.
Upon reaching their destination, Fang Yuan then released Hei Lou Lan and Liu Chen from his dead immortal aperture.
As soon as she appeared, Hei Lou Lan was stunned by the sight before her.
She widened her eyes, looking at the sky in astonishment, only to see six moons hanging high in the sky, and each moon had a different color, clearly meticulously modified by the Grotto-heaven's owner.
Just as Liu Chen's figure appeared in the Starry Sky Grotto-heaven, he then lightly waved his sleeve, and countless ordinary sparrows and swallows, like a flock of startled birds, gushed out from his immortal aperture.
These ordinary sparrows and swallows were numerous, densely filling the entire sky, like a black cloud, covering the sky and obscuring the sun.
They quickly flew in all directions of the Starry Sky Grotto-heaven, their speed as fast as lightning, like arrows shot from a bow.
Each ordinary sparrow and swallow emitted a faint light, like tiny stars, reflecting the starlight in the Grotto-heaven, a beautiful sight to behold.
"Killer Move: Sparrow's Insight!" Liu Chen softly chanted.
As his words fell, those ordinary sparrows and swallows seemed to be imbued with life; their eyes suddenly brightened, flickering with sharp light.
These lights could see through illusions, allowing them to clearly see everything around them through their own eyes.
Wherever the ordinary sparrows and swallows passed, whether it was mountains and rivers, or vegetation and rocks, nothing could escape their sight.
Their eyes were like countless miniature cameras, transmitting everything they saw to Liu Chen without reservation.
This Killer Move, Sparrow's Insight, was a Killer Move Liu Chen had obtained from the Information King's Legacy.
It cleverly combined Paper Kite Gu with other Gu worms and was further improved by him to form the current Killer Move.
This Killer Move not only significantly improved its investigative effectiveness, but its stealth also reached a new height.
It could accurately detect and track both the enemy's movements and changes in the surrounding environment.
More importantly, Liu Chen's profound attainments in Information Path and Servitude Path further boosted the power of this Killer Move.
He was able to maximize the power of the Gu worms, allowing this Killer Move to display astonishing power in actual combat.
At this moment, when this Killer Move was displayed before everyone, both Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan couldn't help but marvel at it.
They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with admiration for Liu Chen.
Especially Fang Yuan, as a master proficient in the Gu Dao, he was even more deeply aware of the excellence of this investigative Killer Move.
If it were to be sold in a trading place like Treasure Yellow Heaven, its value would probably reach at least five immortal essence stones, definitely a top-grade Mortal Dao Killer Move.
"Wait a moment!"
Liu Chen suddenly called out to Fang Yuan and the other.
Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan, hearing this shout, abruptly halted their figures, which were already prepared to rush north, like a pair of startled birds, quickly stopping their forward momentum.
They turned their heads in confusion, looking at Liu Chen, who stood in place with a solemn expression, as if he had something important to tell them.
Just then, the sky full of ordinary sparrows and swallows, as if pulled by an invisible force, all left this Star Illusion Tree forest from one direction.
Liu Chen gazed at these ordinary sparrows and swallows, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He immediately understood the meaning conveyed by these ordinary Gu: the maze in this forest had been seen through by them!
Liu Chen looked closely, only to see that the towering giant trees growing in this forest were all Star Illusion Trees, which had already gone extinct in the Gu World!
These Star Illusion Trees soared into the clouds, their trunks so thick that several people would be needed to embrace them, and their dense branches and leaves intertwined, forming a green canopy.
Liu Chen secretly marveled; the reason he could recognize these Star Illusion Trees was entirely because he had obtained many ancient Legacies in his previous adventures.
These Legacies contained knowledge about various rare plants and Gu worms, giving him a deeper understanding of this mysterious forest.
"What's wrong?" Hei Lou Lan asked quickly, a hint of urgency in her tone.
"Did you find the Star Demon Bats?" Fang Yuan's purpose for this trip was to find the Wild Beast Star Demon Bats.
Now that Liu Chen had stopped him, a glimmer of hope couldn't help but rise in his heart, and he quickly pressed the question.
Liu Chen shook his head and slowly said, "Look at these trees; they are not ordinary trees, but Star Illusion Trees.
This type of tree has long been extinct in the Gu World; they naturally possess formation path and star path Dao marks and can absorb starlight to grow.
Moreover, once these Star Illusion Trees form a certain scale, they can naturally form a maze."
Hearing Liu Chen's explanation, both Hei Lou Lan and Fang Yuan showed surprised expressions on their faces.
They clearly hadn't expected that such rare exotic plants were hidden in this seemingly ordinary forest.
"I haven't found any traces of Star Demon Bats.
However, these Star Illusion Trees themselves have great value.
They can not only be used to refine star path and formation path Gu worms.
Do you want to collect some?"
With that, Liu Chen no longer hesitated, immediately activated his Killer Move, and countless physical large hands flew out from his immortal aperture, collecting these Star Illusion Trees into his immortal aperture in large swaths.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan, seeing Liu Chen's actions, immediately understood that these Star Illusion Trees must be priceless.
They unhesitatingly and quickly put the Star Illusion Trees around them into their respective immortal apertures, fearing that a slight delay would cause them to miss the opportunity.
Although they knew very little about these Star Illusion Trees, since they were gu materials that had long been extinct in the Gu World, collecting some might prove to be of great use in the future.
Thus, the three of them, like hungry tigers pouncing on food, directly stripped one direction of the Star Illusion Tree forest clean, and the once dense forest instantly became bare.
With the disappearance of the Star Illusion Trees, the naturally formed maze also naturally lost its effect, like a soap bubble that had been pricked, instantly dissipating without a trace.
"How much longer are you going to dilly-dally here? There must be something better in here!" After collecting a certain amount of Star Illusion Trees, Hei Lou Lan quickly lost interest.
She began to urge Liu Chen, seemingly eager to leave this place.
Seeing this, Liu Chen no longer hesitated.
After collecting another patch of Star Illusion Tree forest into his possession, he said to Fang Yuan and the other, "Okay, let's go."
"Let's go, my main goal this time is the Star Demon Bats, but other Wild Beasts, if we are capable of dealing with and killing them, would also definitely be a considerable gain." Fang Yuan, after collecting a small patch of Star Illusion Trees, similarly emphasized his purpose for this trip.
They didn't know much about the Starry Sky Grotto-heaven, so they just casually chose a direction and rushed off, while Liu Chen followed closely behind them.
However, as Liu Chen flew, he secretly kept activating his Killer Move—Formless Hand.
Countless pale large hands continuously flew out from his immortal aperture; these large hands, some with four fingers, some with five, each exuded a powerful aura.
These Formless Hands fell like dense raindrops; wherever they passed, all Four-Turn and Five-Turn Gu worms seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and were all collected into Liu Chen's immortal aperture.
This scene left Fang Yuan and the other dumbfounded; they couldn't help but feel envious of Liu Chen's extraordinary skill.
One must know that they had personally witnessed Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's Killer Move in Royal Court Blessed Land before, and now it was reappearing before their eyes, and in such an astonishing form.
How could this not make them feel envious and jealous?
The gains from this Grotto-heaven seemed to indicate that Liu Chen was already far ahead of everyone else.
This made Fang Yuan feel a pang of jealousy, after all, everyone wanted to gain more benefits in such a place.
However, his main target was the Star Demon Bats, and in the Starry Sky Grotto-heaven, there were many Wild Beasts.
If he explored alone, it would be too dangerous.
Therefore, he pulled Liu Chen and Hei Lou Lan along to ensure his own safety.
Anyway, the resources in this Grotto-heaven were abundant, so Fang Yuan wasn't worried that Liu Chen alone could monopolize all the good things.
Just then, a loud shout suddenly came: "Watch out! It's the Wild Beast Flying Sword Mouse!"
It turned out that Liu Chen's investigative Killer Move had discovered that they had entered the territory of a Wild Beast.
He immediately warned the other two.
