Taking advantage of the time before the Gu Exchange Convention began, Liu Chen decided to seize this rare opportunity to explore the various super forces in the Eastern Sea.
He skillfully used his unique killer move, Once Acquainted Upon Meeting, to disguise himself in different identities, moving between various forces. Along the way, he gained a lot, not only finding many hidden treasure chests but also obtaining various precious Legacies.
During his travels among these super forces, Liu Chen constantly sparred with various experts, honing his skills. Each battle deepened his understanding of various Dao paths and greatly enhanced his Strength.
Among them, his Water Dao path improved most significantly. After exchanges and practical combat with many experts, Liu Chen's comprehension of the Water Dao advanced by leaps and bounds, directly breaking through to the Quasi-Great Grandmaster Realm! This was undoubtedly a huge leap, bringing his attainments in the Water Dao Domain to a whole new level.
At the same time, the Ice and Snow Dao also made considerable progress, successfully advancing to the Grandmaster Realm. In addition, Liu Chen also acquired many new Great Master Realm Dao paths.
Among the many Legacies, one Void Path Inheritance was particularly special. This Inheritance not only raised Liu Chen's Realm to Great Master but also deepened his understanding of Formless Hand to an unprecedented level. As one of Liu Chen's signature stunt, Formless Hand's significant improvement undoubtedly elevated his Strength further.
And in these super forces, Liu Chen also obtained the Water Dao Legacy from the Song family, the Space Dao Legacy from the Ruolai family, the Wood Path Legacy from the Cai family, the Dark Dao Legacy from the Xie family, the Sound Dao Legacy from the Shen family, the Earth Dao Legacy from the Qingyue family, the Light Dao Legacy from the Su family, the Void Path Legacy from the Tang family, and the Sword Dao Legacy from the Nangong family.
Among them, he could directly understand and integrate the Sword Dao Legacy of the Nangong family, and it even contained a Sword Path Immortal Gu recipe.
Among the many treasure chests obtained, Liu Chen only acquired two Rank six Immortal Gu: Strength Immortal Gu of Flying Elephant and Dark Net Immortal Gu, belonging to the Strength Path and Dark Dao respectively.
During his time traveling in the Eastern Sea, Liu Chen also gained a lot, but he still didn't get what he wanted. Ascending Heaven Field, Market, and Dragon Palace were not something he, as a Rank six, could touch at the moment, but he did gain many Legacies... The Gu Exchange Convention was about to open grandly, a major event in the Gu cultivator world. At this turbulent time, Liu Chen also couldn't contain his curiosity and sought out Fairy Li Shan, together passing through the Star Gate and entering her Blessed Land.
As soon as he entered the Blessed Land, Liu Chen's gaze was drawn to two people — Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng. These two had also come to participate in the Gu Exchange Convention, and both seemed well-prepared.
Liu Chen's gaze fell on Fang Yuan, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan, your killer move really makes me feel very familiar!" Liu Chen asked directly, without concealing his surprise, "Could this be... Unacquainted Upon Meeting?"
As soon as Liu Chen's words fell, Fang Yuan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Fellow Daoist Wuming, your eyesight is indeed sharp; this is indeed Unacquainted Upon Meeting." Fang Yuan replied with a smile, "However, this is not a killer move I originally possessed, but rather a part of a Thieving Heaven Legacy I coincidentally obtained."
Liu Chen's curiosity grew upon hearing this. He knew that a Thieving Heaven Legacy was extremely precious, and the killer moves within it were even rarer.
"Oh? Then how did you obtain this Thieving Heaven Legacy?" Liu Chen pressed.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly, seemingly prepared for this question.
"It was a coincidence, actually. While exploring an ancient ruin, I stumbled upon this Thieving Heaven Legacy. It happened to contain an incomplete Legacy of Unacquainted Upon Meeting, and I spent a great deal of effort to complete this killer move." Fang Yuan explained.
Liu Chen listened, sighing inwardly. This Fang Yuan truly had good fortune to obtain Unacquainted Upon Meeting; it seemed he had also gained a lot in Royal Court Blessed Land.
As Liu Chen was thinking, he noticed that Fang Yuan's appearance had changed somewhat. Although his body was still that of an Immortal Zombie, he no longer had extra arms, and his stature had shrunk to the height of an ordinary person, making him less conspicuous.
After obtaining Fixed Immortal Travel Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan used Conjoined Luck Immortal Gu to further enhance his luck, allowing him to obtain a Thieving Heaven Legacy! Although this Legacy was not a true Inheritance, for him, it was a timely help, successfully resolving his pressing needs.
"Haha, at this Gu Exchange Convention, the three of us can also look out for each other! Oh, by the way, the name I'm using this time is Jian Chen, don't you two forget it!" Liu Chen said to them.
"Jian Chen?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked at him suspiciously, seemingly unfamiliar with the name.
Seeing this, Liu Chen quickly explained, "Attending such a grand event, I naturally don't want to attract too much attention. Using an alias can also avoid some unnecessary trouble."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng listened, nodding in sudden realization, indicating his understanding.
At this moment, Fang Yuan also chimed in, "Fellow Daoist is absolutely right; we have also made some changes. You can call me Jiang Huang, and he is Bai Sheng." With that, he pointed to Qin Baisheng beside him.
Liu Chen responded with a smile, "Alright, Jiang Huang, Bai Sheng!"
"Then, both of you, let's hurry up." A hint of urgency was in Liu Chen's voice; he seemed full of anticipation for where they were going next. Before he finished speaking, his figure shot out like an arrow, as if eager to reach his destination.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng exchanged glances and quickly followed Liu Chen's pace. Fang Yuan smiled at Liu Chen and said, "Alright, Fellow Daoist Jian Chen, please wait a moment." As he spoke, he extended a hand in a gesture of invitation, then quickly followed behind Liu Chen.
The three of them sped through Fairy Li Shan's immortal aperture.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the venue of the Gu Exchange Convention — within Qin Baisheng's Blessed Land.
Qin Baisheng had clearly been waiting there for a long time; he saw Liu Chen's figure from afar and immediately broke into a joyful smile.
As Liu Chen approached, Qin Baisheng unhesitatingly went up to him, gave Liu Chen a warm hug, and laughed heartily, "Haha, little brother Jian Chen, you've made this big brother wait so long!"
Liu Chen was infected by Qin Baisheng's enthusiasm and also showed a happy smile. He quickly responded, "Big Brother Qin, I'm truly sorry. This younger brother's Strength is low, so I could only rush here using this method, which caused a slight delay. I hope Big Brother Qin won't blame me."
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, standing behind Liu Chen, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but exchange glances, both somewhat surprised. They had not expected that this mysterious Liu Chen would have such a deep friendship with Qin Baisheng.
