After obtaining Attitude Gu, Liu Chen unhesitatingly activated the Immortal Path Killer Move, "Meeting an Old Acquaintance," which is a killer move capable of altering one's demeanor and aura.
Liu Chen's body trembled slightly, and then his face, posture, and the aura around him underwent a tremendous change in an instant.
Originally, Liu Chen was just an unrelated stranger to Hei Lou Lan, but at this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a completely different being.
"You!"
Hei Lou Lan's eyes widened as she stared incredulously at Liu Chen. Although she had personally witnessed Liu Chen using Attitude Gu, she didn't feel the slightest sense of incongruity.
On the contrary, she only felt that the person before her was her dearest friend or relative; an inexplicable sense of closeness welled up in her heart, making her instinctively want to draw near to him. Her heart told her that this person could be trusted.
"Thank you, Fairy Lou Lan, for the kindness of lending me the Gu. I shall take my leave now," Liu Chen said with a smile, his voice also becoming gentle and cordial. "This jar of fine wine is a small token of my appreciation. I hope Fairy will accept it."
After speaking, Liu Chen gently placed a jar of fine wine on the table, then turned and transformed the Imitation Immortal Gu into Fixed Immortal Travel, teleporting away from the area.
"What a trustworthy ally!" Hei Lou Lan couldn't help but exclaim in her heart. Although Liu Chen's figure had long vanished, her trust in him remained as strong as ever, as if it were an innate instinct.
However, when Hei Lou Lan once again deduced a killer move and activated the I Will Gu to form a killer move, she suddenly felt a subtle sense of incongruity. This feeling was very faint, almost imperceptible, yet it lingered in her mind, making her feel somewhat irritated.
Hei Lou Lan frowned slightly and began to carefully ponder the source of this incongruity. She replayed her recent conversation with Liu Chen over and over, trying to find some clues. Finally, after much contemplation, she had a sudden realization and understood what was amiss.
"So that's it!" Hei Lou Lan gnashed her teeth and cursed, "Nameless, you bastard, you've even mastered Meeting an Old Acquaintance!"
Hei Lou Lan immediately realized that Liu Chen had just used Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's legendary killer move—Meeting an Old Acquaintance. This move had once allowed Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, with a Rank Six cultivation, to trap and kill two Rank Eight Gu Immortals. Its power and insidious nature were self-evident.
And she, foolishly, had fallen for it without even realizing. If not for her inherently suspicious nature, which caused her to feel a slight oddity, and the fact that Liu Chen had used this move right in front of her, she might still be in the dark.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's methods are truly terrifying... After leaving Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land, Liu Chen unhesitatingly activated Fixed Immortal Travel (Pseudo).
Three breaths later, he Transmigrated through endless space and arrived near the Myriad Blade Valley, a Forbidden Land in Northern Plains.
He still found a large tribe without a Gu Immortal overseeing it, and used the Intercept Luck killer move to seize a massive amount of Mortal Luck, enhancing his own Luck Dao.
Then he activated a movement killer move to arrive at Myriad Blade Valley.
This vast and boundless place is filled with endless dangers and unknowns. It is one of Northern Plains' ten great ominous lands, covering an extremely expansive area, seemingly without end. The valley is crisscrossed with deep, bottomless ravines that inspire awe.
As Liu Chen stood at the edge of the valley, a fierce gust of wind whistled past, as piercing as the hum of swords. Even the slightest breeze here was as sharp as a keen blade, as if it could easily tear human flesh. Even a Gu Immortal without an excellent defensive killer move could easily perish here.
However, it is precisely this harsh environment that has nurtured countless terrifyingly abnormal creatures. These creatures have not only adapted to the extreme conditions here but have also continuously evolved in their struggle with nature, becoming even more powerful. Among them, there are not only ordinary desolate beasts but also even rarer ancient desolate beasts.
The reason Liu Chen chose to come here was that his immortal aperture was about to face an Earth Calamity. The dense Sword Dao and Blade Dao Qi in Myriad Blade Valley could perfectly complement the killer move—Immortal Tribulation Forging Aperture.
Through this method, Liu Chen could limit the calamity within his immortal aperture to Sword Dao and Blade Dao calamities, thereby specifically enhancing his Dao Mark accumulation in these aspects.
Liu Chen unhesitatingly stepped into his immortal aperture, where a breathtaking sight unfolded before his eyes.
Countless broken blades and swords formed a vast Burial Sword Soil plain, like a graveyard of blades and swords. The broken sword mountains and shattered sword rain brought by the last Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity further added a touch of desolation to this immortal aperture.
Beneath these seemingly barren landscapes lay infinite vitality; this was Liu Chen's largest natural resource within his immortal aperture.
Within this Burial Sword Soil plain, countless wild Sword Path Gu worms were nurtured. These Gu worms thrived under the nourishment of Sword Dao Dao Marks, becoming valuable resources for Liu Chen's Sword Dao cultivation.
Liu Chen was well aware of the value of this immortal aperture, so he resolutely chose to Undergo Tribulation here.
Continuously activating several Immortal Gu to use the Immortal Path Killer Move: Immortal Tribulation Forging Aperture, his Earth Calamity this time would definitely be a Sword Dao calamity. Even if it meant destroying these precious resources, as long as it could enhance his own Sword Dao Dao Marks, he would not hesitate.
As time slowly passed within the immortal aperture, the immortal aperture continuously absorbed the external Earth Qi, and the Earth Calamity was constantly brewing.
"Roar~"
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if the entire immortal aperture trembled with it.
Liu Chen focused his gaze and saw a desolate beast, covered in silvery-white, sharp scales, appear before him like lightning. This desolate beast had a massive body, a snake's body with four legs, and four claws as sharp as swords, emitting a chilling aura.
It was precisely the desolate beast Sword Dragon!
Undoubtedly, the calamity Liu Chen had to face this time was this ferocious desolate beast Sword Dragon.
"Earth Calamity: Sword Dragon!" Liu Chen's eyes gleamed with anticipation. He secretly rejoiced that his efforts this time had not been in vain.
He stared intently at the Sword Dragon. Before Undergoing Tribulation, Liu Chen had continuously activated the two great killer moves, Intercept Luck and Immortal Tribulation Forging Aperture, hoping to further enhance his Luck Dao and increase the chances of encountering a Sword Dao calamity.
After some effort, his Luck Dao had indeed significantly improved.
The Earth Calamity Sword Dragon was the proof.
However, he also knew that the improvement of Luck Dao was not without its drawbacks; it also carried risks. Luck is a variable and inherently difficult to control. He currently lacked too many Luck Dao Immortal Gu, which made many of his killer moves difficult to execute.
