Coming to the corpse of Old Immortal Kumu, Liu Chen first opened his treasure chest reward, while also taking this Immortal Zombie corpse into his immortal aperture. As expected, he obtained his Kumu Legacy and absorbed the memories within, causing Liu Chen's own Wood Path Realm to advance a step, reaching the Grandmaster Realm, while also obtaining his various killer moves.
Among them was the killer move that could allow an Immortal Zombie to revive: Kumu Spring. Unfortunately, that killer move was not perfected, and the core immortal gu was the Seventh Rank Germination Immortal Gu. However, this immortal gu was an expendable Gu that could only provide brief recovery and would consume a large amount of dao marks; otherwise, Old Immortal Kumu would not have been so furious when using that killer move.
As for the other one, it was the immortal gu that had already fallen into Liu Chen's hands, a Wood Path Wood Thorn Immortal Gu, which he stored in his immortal aperture.
"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Wuming! Without your Formless Hand, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy to kill this old fellow." Fang Yuan had a look of gratitude as he bowed to Liu Chen and said respectfully, "It's just that I have one more request. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wuming could part with Old Immortal Kumu's Soul?"
Both parties had already made an alliance treaty previously, stating that all spoils of war from this operation would belong to Liu Chen. However, Fang Yuan had not expected that Old Immortal Kumu actually possessed a method for an Immortal Zombie to be reborn! This was an extremely rare and precious technique; even if it was only an incomplete killer move, its reference value was quite high. Because of this, Fang Yuan spoke up to ask Liu Chen for it.
Hearing what Fang Yuan said, Liu Chen smiled slightly, seemingly having known the other's thoughts long ago. With a wave of his hand, a flash of light appeared, and Old Immortal Kumu's Soul appeared before them.
Then, Liu Chen said calmly to Fang Yuan, "Oh? You want this? That's fine, Fellow Daoist just needs to exchange a corresponding amount of Courage Valley for it."
After saying this, Liu Chen stared at Fang Yuan with eyes like torches, as if trying to see through his true inner thoughts.
Fang Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Even though he had already paid a lot of Guts Gu in previous transactions and was now somewhat unable to make ends meet, the number of Souls was truly difficult to obtain.
After all, compared to the method of Immortal Zombie Rebirth, no amount of Courage Valley was worth much.
Thus, for the next period of time, the two began intense negotiations over the transaction price. After some back and forth and a war of words, they finally reached an agreement. Although he still felt a bit reluctant and pained, Fang Yuan ultimately endured the loss and handed over a large amount of precious Courage Valley to Liu Chen, successfully obtaining the long-awaited Soul of Old Immortal Kumu.
"Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan, then I shall take my leave first." Before his voice had even faded, Liu Chen's figure flashed and vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared at all.
A moment later, Liu Chen reappeared within his own immortal aperture.
Here, clouds and mist swirled, and Spiritual Qi was abundant, just like a fairyland. In the center of this fairyland stood a massive immortal formation, which was exactly the mobile immortal array obtained from Dongfang Changfan and completed.
At this moment, a faint spiritual light flickered on the mobile immortal array, clearly in a standby state. Suddenly, a crisp voice came from the immortal formation: "Master, do you have any instructions?"
It turned out that after Liu Chen activated it with the Formation Spirit Immortal Gu, this mobile immortal array had actually birthed its own Formation Spirit! At this moment, this Formation Spirit transformed into a ball of light emitting a soft glow, with a pair of eyes and a mouth, looking at Liu Chen respectfully.
Liu Chen nodded and said in a heavy voice, "This time, I want to go to the depths of the Earth Trench of the Northern Plains Corpse Alliance."
The Formation Spirit frowned slightly and said with some difficulty, "Master, if you want to be teleported to the destination, you still need to use Fixed Immortal Travel."
However, Liu Chen was already prepared. With a light shout and a wave of his right hand, a green light suddenly flashed, followed by the slow emergence of a crystal-clear, pure white lotus. This lotus was exactly the heavenly essence treasure imperial lotus transformed by Liu Chen's imitation immortal gu!
With a thought from Liu Chen, the heavenly essence treasure imperial lotus instantly changed, gradually transforming into a pale green butterfly, the "Fixed Immortal Travel (Pseudo)," which gently landed into the mobile immortal array.
As the Fixed Immortal Travel (Pseudo) landed in the formation, the originally somewhat dim mobile immortal array suddenly burst with brilliance, and the dazzling light surged like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, the entire immortal formation was shrouded in a layer of extremely dense emerald light.
Just then, a slight buzzing sound rang out, and the mobile immortal array officially started. Liu Chen's body was also tightly wrapped by that layer of emerald light, as if being lifted by an invisible force.
After only three breaths of time, his figure completely vanished from the spot. At the same time, a space fluctuation came from the depths of the Earth Trench, and in the next moment, Liu Chen's figure had already appeared there.
This was forty thousand feet deep into the Earth Trench of the Northern Plains Corpse Alliance! This place was the habitat of the Yaksha Octopus in Old Immortal Kumu's memories, but at this moment, the place where we were was only its edge. That mouth-watering Shadow Sect's hidden legacy might be close at hand.
When Liu Chen stepped into this place, the Aura of a Gu Immortal spread out rapidly like ripples.
In an instant, the originally silent surroundings seemed to be disturbed, and the Desolate Beasts began to stir restlessly. In the blink of an eye, a group of huge, hideous-looking Yaksha Octopuses surged toward him like a tide.
Facing these fierce and brutal Yaksha Octopuses head-on was by no means a wise move.
He directly summoned that Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion to deal with the group of menacing Yaksha Octopuses.
As for that Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion, which had been trapped in the Blessed Land for a long time, although it could obtain food, its desire to devour the Souls of living beings had not diminished in the slightest. Now that it saw so many fresh lives right before its eyes, how could it easily let them go? It opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and then charged into the enemy ranks without hesitation.
With the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion's powerful strength comparable to an Eighth Rank Valley Immortal level, dealing with these ordinary Yaksha Octopuses was as easy as turning over a hand. In just a short while, several Yaksha Octopuses had already died miserably on the spot, their Souls swallowed into the belly of the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion.
After continuously collecting the corpses of those Yaksha Octopuses, Liu Chen did not stop his pace, but immediately ordered the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion beneath him to continue forward.
At this moment, he was sitting steadily on the broad and solid back of the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion, activating a unique Information Path killer move!
One by one, "Paper Kites" flew out of his immortal aperture, and as if endowed with life, they quickly spread out in all directions. These Paper Kites danced lightly in the air, carefully searching every corner of this mysterious Domain.
As time passed minute by minute, more and more Yaksha Octopuses fell in pools of blood, but just then, a Yaksha Octopus King, whose body was several times larger than its peers, suddenly appeared before his eyes! It led a group of dozens of Desolate Beast Yaksha Octopuses behind it, aggressively charging straight toward the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion.
There was no doubt that this Yaksha Octopus King had become an Ancient Desolate Beast; however, even so, when facing the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion, it still appeared somewhat inadequate.
However, the surface of this Yaksha Octopus King's body actually faintly emitted a trace of immortal gu Aura. One must know that whether or not one possessed an immortal gu was like the difference between clouds and mud for any Desolate Beast. Coupled with the concerted efforts of its many loyal and brave subordinates, it seemed that this Yaksha Octopus King really had a glimmer of hope to successfully repel the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion.
