"Since your Senior Sister has already made such a great name for herself, and both of you are now Rank Five powerhouses—figures who could be considered lords of your own territories—I wonder what kind of reputation you have carved out?" Liu Chen looked at Zhao Lianyun and the other person with a smile, curiosity flickering in his eyes.
Hearing her Master's question, Zhao Lianyun couldn't help but frown, answering with a bitter smile, "Master, please don't compare the two of us to Senior Sister! How could we dare compete with her? She is famous far and wide now!" As she spoke, the corner of Zhao Lianyun's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Recalling her experiences during this period, Zhao Lianyun was truly filled with a myriad of emotions.
Back then, when she and that brat Fei Hongyun were sent by their Master to the Eastern Sea for tempering, they thought they would suffer quite a bit. Unexpectedly, Fei Hongyun was like someone who had stepped in dog sh*t; his luck was explosive the entire way.
However, as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are two sides of the same coin. Every time they boarded a maritime merchant fleet's ship to head out to sea, they would always encounter sudden storms or fierce beast tide attacks. The result? Except for the two of them, everyone else on the ships perished without exception, buried in the sea. Meanwhile, the two of them took the Opportunity to pocket all the scattered cargo, relying on these resources for their cultivation and living comfortably without any worries.
But as time passed, the various families in the Eastern Sea region gradually noticed something was amiss. Consequently, the unsuspecting Zhao Lianyun and Fei Hongyun inexplicably became a Master-disciple pair of the Demonic Path Valley, hunted and suppressed by various forces.
Even after becoming Demonic Path Valley Masters that everyone wanted to kill, Fei Hongyun's amazing 'dog sh*t luck' continued to exert its miraculous effects. Even when surrounded, he would always resolve the situation using various environmental factors and timing. Because of this, they earned the strange title of the 'Yinghuo Twins'.
Essentially, they were a duo of jinxes, so they were naturally embarrassed to tell Liu Chen that they had made such a reputation for themselves in the Eastern Sea.
In this way, Fei Hongyun and Zhao Lianyun finally shook off the endless harassment and were able to live a relatively peaceful and leisurely life. But the good times didn't last long; just as the two were immersed in this rare tranquility, a powerful Rank Five Gu Immortal suddenly appeared and began hunting them down!
Although Fei Hongyun and his companion had reached the Rank 4 Realm by this time, they still felt powerless against such a strong enemy. After a fierce battle, they were heavily injured and covered in blood, eventually having no choice but to jump into the vast ocean in a pathetic state to save themselves.
They unexpectedly triggered a mysterious power hidden deep on the seabed. As the currents surged and the undercurrents impacted them, they accidentally obtained a Legacy.
Relying on this precious resource obtained by chance, Fei Hongyun and his companion not only fully recuperated and restored their Origin Qi, but more importantly, they used it to break through their cultivation Bottlenecks and successfully promoted to the Rank Five level.
At the same time, a deeper level of the Legacy revealed itself before their eyes—it turned out this place was actually a true Gu Immortal True Inheritance!
With the help of Fei Hongyun's extraordinary luck, the two of them were actually able to step into this Holy Land, the Blessed Land Grotto-Heaven belonging to a Gu Immortal, as mortals. They inherited the true Legacy hidden here, which even their predecessors had failed to inherit.
This was why they were so eager to use their only Information Path Valley Worm to contact Liu Chen in the distant Central Continent and have him return to the Eastern Sea.
"Take me to see those two Legacies you mentioned!" Liu Chen's keen eyes caught the flash of embarrassment on Zhao Lianyun's face, but he chose not to pursue the matter further.
Zhao Lianyun gave a soft smile and turned to lead the way, guiding Liu Chen toward the interior of the island. They passed through dense forests, bypassed rugged mountain paths, and finally arrived at the foot of an unremarkable small hill.
This small hill looked ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one would find it contained a hidden world. It turned out someone had hollowed out the mountain from the middle and meticulously arranged it into a mysterious place of inheritance.
"Master, look, this is where we received the True Inheritance of Tyrant Rhodes." Zhao Lianyun stopped and pointed to the slightly simple but imposing palace before them. Her voice carried a sense of pride and cherished memory regarding the experience.
Walking into the palace, a stale scent wafted toward them. Liu Chen looked around and saw that the places where the inheritance items should have been were now completely empty.
However, despite the loss of the physical inheritance items, Liu Chen, relying on his own System Treasure Chests, still successfully obtained all the information about Tyrant Rhodes and the legendary story of his life.
"The Blessed Land of the Gu Immortal Drunken Green Ox... its ownership condition actually requires a pair of truly in-love partners! This is exactly the same as the Royal Court Blessed Land!" Liu Chen thought to himself.
As the memories of the inheritance continuously flooded into his mind, he seemed to instantly understand all the secrets of this place.
The Gu Immortal True Inheritance here was the Drunken Green Ox Inheritance, which Tyrant Rhodes had discovered by chance in his later years.
After he stepped into this mysterious Blessed Land, he had the fortune of meeting the Land Spirit here and learned from it the conditions required to become the owner of the Blessed Land.
Facing this rare Opportunity, Rhodes did not hesitate to marry a young and beautiful woman. Regrettably, despite racking his brains and trying every means to win the girl's heart, he ultimately failed the Land Spirit's test and could not successfully inherit this Blessed Land.
Afterward, Rhodes became increasingly anxious and irritable, using any means necessary to try and make the women around him fall in love with him. However, things went contrary to his wishes; the more he schemed, the less he could obtain a true heart. He remained unable to gain the Land Spirit's recognition until his Lifespan was exhausted.
Zhao Lianyun and Fei Hongyun had unexpectedly arrived here and, by some strange twist of fate, met the requirements for ownership, thus naturally becoming the new Masters of this Blessed Land.
"Master, here is the entrance to the Blessed Land!" Zhao Lianyun spoke softly, her beautiful eyes shifting as a mysterious power suddenly surged. The originally calm space rippled, and then an entrance emitting an enticing fragrance slowly emerged.
Before anyone could get close, a wine fragrance so thick it wouldn't dissipate hit their noses, seemingly capable of making one drunk and unable to extricate themselves. Looking through the entrance, one could vaguely see a shimmering wine pool with surging liquid, as if countless spirits were leaping and dancing within. Surrounding the pool grew a peculiar kind of tree—the Dao Flow Blade Tree, its leaves incredibly sharp, flashing with cold light like blades. Furthermore, the mountains were covered in blooming, colorful Sword Orchids; when the breeze blew, these delicate flowers swayed gently, producing a crisp and pleasant sound like heavenly music. Even more interesting were the swarms of winged, small, but extremely fast Double-Bladed Bees flying through the air, sometimes circling the flowers to collect nectar and sometimes playing and frolicking, making for a lively scene.
Zhao Lianyun and Fei Hongyun smiled at each other and took the lead in stepping into this Blessed Land filled with fantastical colors. Liu Chen did not dare to dally and followed closely behind them into the cave. Upon entering, Liu Chen was shocked by the wondrous sight before him, his eyes widening as he curiously looked around. Just then, a green bull Land Spirit with sharp horns and a powerful Aura walked with steady steps to the side of Zhao Lianyun and Fei Hongyun, bowing respectfully: "Land Spirit greets the two Masters!"
Zhao Lianyun smiled slightly and introduced Liu Chen behind her: "Land Spirit, this is our Master. From now on, he is the true Master of this place!"
