Liu Chen stood up abruptly, his gaze piercing into the distance like a torch, as if he could peer through time and space to see that mysterious and dangerous Yellow Springs Sea Area. Decisive as ever, he immediately sent an Information Path transmission to his two prized Disciples—Bian Sixuan and Zhao Lianyun: "Have you successfully occupied the Yellow Springs Sea Area?"
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the Information Path Gu Worm within Liu Chen's immortal aperture stirred. Following that, Zhao Lianyun's crisp and pleasant voice reached his ears. She reported in detail that the two of them had used the power of the formidable Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion to smoothly conquer the Yellow Springs Sea Area. However, the headache was that the Zombie Alliance's base was protected by an extremely special Gu Formation. Ordinary Gu Immortals would find it difficult to break through this defensive line. Even if they ordered the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion to attack, they feared it would destroy the Zombie Alliance base, so they had not used forceful means.
Upon learning of the situation, Liu Chen frowned slightly and fell into deep thought for a moment. After a while, he once again reached into his immortal aperture and pulled out—a mobile immortal array!
Activating the immortal array, a dazzling brilliance bloomed in an instant, wrapping his entire being tightly within it. The next moment, the light dissipated, and Liu Chen's figure had vanished without a trace...
In the blink of an eye, Liu Chen arrived at the entrance of the East Sea Zombie Alliance. Looking from afar, he saw two graceful figures standing there; it was Zhao Lianyun and Bian Sixuan, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Disciple greets Master!"
"Disciple greets Master!"
Two crisp and pleasant voices rang out simultaneously.
One of the two women wore a pale blue long dress, her figure graceful and her face beautiful, looking like a Fairy descended to the mortal realm. The other was dressed in black martial attire, valiant and heroic, like a female sword immortal.
At this moment, they looked at their suddenly appearing Master with faces full of pleasant surprise and quickly knelt down to perform a standard and respectful grand salute.
Liu Chen smiled slightly and gave a gentle wave of his right hand. A soft strand of Sword Qi shot out from his hand, brushing past the two women like a gentle spring breeze before slowly lifting them to their feet.
"Rise, there is no need for such ceremony. You both performed excellently in this mission; I am very satisfied." Liu Chen praised the two women with a smile, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
The woman known as Zhao Lianyun beamed with joy and responded in a tender voice: "Thank you for the praise, Master! If Master hadn't provided us with accurate information and a meticulous plan in advance, it would have been difficult to conquer this place so smoothly relying only on the strength of Senior Sister and myself..."
Before she could finish, the other woman named Bian Sixuan also chimed in: "Yes, Master, you are truly amazing! Our success in completing this mission is all thanks to your careful guidance and help! Oh, by the way, Master, I have brought back the immortal array you entrusted to me. Please inspect it to see if it is intact..."
As she spoke, she carefully took out an exquisite, tiny miniature bronze palace emitting a faint glow from her robes and respectfully presented it to Liu Chen.
Just then, a clear and melodious cry suddenly rang out. It turned out to be the array spirit from within the bronze palace—a crane with golden feathers and full plumage flying out. It flapped its wings a few times before landing steadily on the ground, bowing to Liu Chen and saying in a voice full of respect: "Master, the array spirit has fulfilled the mission and seized this place as ordered."
"You all have done exceptionally well!"
Liu Chen was full of praise for the two women and the spirit standing before him. Then, he turned his gaze toward the East Sea Zombie Alliance base.
"This is but a small Yellow Springs Sea Area; it is not worth my serious attention. Now, let us see just how much foundation this so-called Zombie Alliance still has!" Having said that, Liu Chen's figure flashed, and he instantly arrived at the entrance of the East Sea Zombie Alliance.
He activated the star thought immortal gu, and countless Star Thoughts filled his mind, rapidly analyzing the Formation before him. This seemingly indestructible Formation had nowhere to hide in his eyes; all its flaws and weaknesses were clearly visible.
Liu Chen gave a sudden flick of his sleeves, and several strands of incomparably sharp Sword Qi whistled out, accurately striking the vital nodes of the great array at the Zombie Alliance entrance. Following a series of muffled booms, these arrays burst apart one after another, and the entire Formation fell into a state of paralysis. The originally tight outer defensive Restrictions were as fragile as paper.
In fact, a vast amount of information regarding the East Sea Zombie Alliance had long been etched into the depths of Liu Chen's mind, which naturally included the details of the Restriction before him. Therefore, facing such a familiar array setup, it was not surprising that he could easily find a way to break it.
Immediately after, Liu Chen unhesitatingly led Bian Sixuan and Zhao Lianyun into the interior of the Zombie Alliance. Along the way, they crossed numerous obstacles and avoided countless meticulously placed traps and mechanisms, finally arriving at a Public Blessed Land hidden by the Alliance.
The Land Spirit of this blessed land had long been suppressed and sealed by the joint efforts of many powerful Immortal Zombies from Shadow Sect. Even though the Shadow Sect immortals had died, no Land Spirit had emerged, which was why Liu Chen could so easily lead Bian Sixuan and Zhao Lianyun into this place.
When they stepped into this place, the spectacular scenery before them left all three of them shocked. This blessed land was truly vast beyond measure, with no end in sight. It was actually an enormous Water Path Blessed Land, and the most striking feature was the various sea areas of different sizes that had been forcibly partitioned. These sea areas were arranged in an orderly fashion, each seeming to have its own unique ecosystem, nurturing countless strange sea beasts.
What was even more surprising was that these sea beasts were not only diverse in species but also staggering in number. They either played among the waves or lurked in the deep sea, adding endless vitality to the entire blessed land. Besides this, the place was a production site for various precious Gu materials; the exotic flowers and herbs growing on the seabed or the shores emitted bursts of delicate fragrance, clearly all rare treasures.
However, the immortal materials that could truly move Liu Chen and catch his eye were few and far between. The reason was obvious: Shadow Sect had likely already taken away all the usable immortal materials to construct the Ten Extremes Immortal Zombie Life-Ending Formation. Nevertheless, the remaining immortal materials still constituted a considerable fortune.
"Act immediately, move all the Gu materials away, leave nothing behind! You two, move with me." Liu Chen gave the order decisively and quickly moved, opening his own immortal aperture without hesitation, preparing to begin transporting the precious immortal materials from this treasury.
"Understood!" x2 Bian Sixuan and Zhao Lianyun snapped out of their daze and responded in unison, immediately following behind to fully assist Liu Chen in transferring this batch of valuable resources.
With the three of them working together, it wasn't long before the originally packed and dazzling secret treasury was empty, as if it had been ransacked. But that wasn't all; Liu Chen then tirelessly led the two women to continue exploring several other secret treasuries. As expected, heaven does not betray those who try; they unexpectedly discovered several rare Rank 8 Immortal Materials in one of the secret treasuries!
It turned out that this was a confidential Treasure Trove hidden away by a certain Zombie Alliance leader; no one else knew of its existence, which was why it had escaped disaster and been preserved until now.
