"Fine..." Tao Zhu let out a long sigh, his eyes revealing endless unwillingness and helplessness, but in the end, he chose to compromise:
"Since you have already obtained my Legacy, I only hope that you can make good use of this Legacy and power, and not let down the efforts and heart's blood of my entire life. I hope that one day you can make this Cultivation Technique shake the world, and even spread throughout the entire Five Realms!"
After saying these words, Tao Zhu's voice gradually became low and hoarse, as if he had used the last bit of strength in his entire body to barely utter such words—after all, for the will of a Gu Immortal who had already died, the request made at this moment had undoubtedly become the only obsession remaining in the world.
Facing Tao Zhu's earnest wish and his intent of entrusting him before passing, Liu Chen responded without hesitation:
"You can rest assured, I will absolutely not snatch the glory that belongs to you; on the contrary, I will make your Killer Move enough to shock all forces in the Five Regions!"
Having said that, Liu Chen waved his arm, and an invisible force suddenly surged out, instantly sweeping up Tao Zhu's will and sending it into the depths of the immortal aperture within his own body.
Immediately following, his heart stirred, light flared around his body, and a teleportation Formation appeared beneath his feet.
As the Formation activated and began to run.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Chen's figure had disappeared.
The next moment, his figure had already appeared outside the East Sea Zombie Alliance base.
"Greetings, Master!" Accompanied by a crisp and pleasant sound, a figure slowly emerged from the clouds and mist.
This person was transformed from the immortal gu Northern Dark Ice Soul, wearing a white outfit, with a well-proportioned figure, blue eyes, and snow-white hair, resembling an elf amidst the ice and snow.
When he saw Liu Chen return, he immediately bowed respectfully, expressing his respect and loyalty to him.
After Liu Chen nodded slightly to acknowledge, he asked: "Has anyone come?"
The current Yellow Springs Sea Area had lost the control of the Zombie Alliance forces, so it would naturally attract the attention of many Gu Immortals.
Although Bian Sixuan had previously used the powerful might of the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion to scare away some Gu Immortals, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be other malicious individuals risking a visit to investigate.
Hearing Liu Chen's question, Northern Dark Ice Soul lightly parted his red lips and replied: "Reporting to Master, indeed a few Gu Immortals have come to this place, attempting to probe the truth, but I dealt with one of them, and the others, seeing the situation was not good, fled one after another."
He spoke lightly, as if slaying a Gu Immortal was as easy as crushing an insignificant ant for him.
Liu Chen was silent for a moment before waving his hand to let Northern Dark Ice Soul return to his side, and instructed softly: "Fine, there is no need to mention this matter again. Let it be for now; if there are any changes in the future, it won't be too late to deal with them then."
Having said that, his heart stirred, and Northern Dark Ice Soul's figure flickered, disappearing in the blink of an eye, obviously having been taken into the immortal aperture within Liu Chen's body. After all, in the coming period of time, he might still need to rely on the Ten Extreme immortal gu to complete his plan.
Immediately after, Liu Chen waved his hands, and a Skull Blood River Formation exuding a terrifying aura appeared!
Once this Formation appeared, the world changed color, the wind and clouds rolled, as if it wanted to devour everything in this world!
And what was even more astonishing was that Liu Chen was actually able to perfectly connect this Formation with the dao marks of the entire Yellow Springs Sea Area!
In an instant, the sky full of red surged out from the Yellow Springs Sea Area, merging and echoing with the Skull Blood River Formation...
In the blink of an eye, the entire Formation had been set up, and its range directly covered the entire Yellow Springs Sea Area!
Not only that, Liu Chen also cleverly set the near water pavilion immortal gu as the core of this Formation.
In this way, even for someone with strength as strong as an Eighth Rank Valley Immortal, wanting to forcibly break through this Formation would not be possible in a short time.
At this time, the originally calm and waveless sea surface suddenly rippled, and streams of dark red blood rapidly spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, the entire vast ocean had turned into a scarlet, eye-piercing sea of blood!
Looking closely, one could find that in this sea of blood, there were countless skulls as crystal clear as red crystals floating within it, rising and falling with the surging waves, appearing extremely eerie!
Skull Blood River Formation!
After all matters were arranged properly, Liu Chen nodded with satisfaction, then turned and returned to the Zombie Alliance's public blessed land.
After entering his own immortal aperture, Liu Chen immediately sat cross-legged; the purpose of his seclusion this time was to further improve his own immortal aperture!
Preparing for the next Breakthrough to Rank Eight.
A beam of light flashed by, and the Well-Ordered Formation was put away by Liu Chen. With the disappearance of the Formation, the various dao marks in his body clashed, and Liu Chen could only use the Marketplace to activate a Well-Ordered Killer Move.
Immediately following, Liu Chen cast the immortal gu Aperture Fusion Method obtained from Old Ancestor Long Hair. It could fuse the entire Formation into the immortal aperture or blessed land, making them one.
Following the casting of the immortal gu Aperture Fusion Method, the Well-Ordered Formation was re-deployed by Liu Chen within the Sword Path blessed land. The moment the two made contact, a dazzling light erupted, illuminating the entire space.
Within this light, one could see that along with the Fusion of the Well-Ordered Formation, various dao marks were rapidly fusing with the dao marks within Liu Chen's Sword Path immortal aperture. These dao marks, like agile little snakes, intertwined and entangled in the air, finally combining perfectly, no longer repelling each other.
At the same time, the dao marks contained in the Formation also fused into this immortal aperture.
Not only that, due to the continuous increase of dao marks, the area of the immortal aperture also began to expand at an astonishing speed. The already very vast Sword Path immortal aperture was now expanding even further.
Finally, after some effort, the Well-Ordered Formation was completely fused into Liu Chen's Sword Path immortal aperture.
At this moment, Liu Chen felt an unprecedented joy surge in his heart; he knew that his first step of the plan had been successfully completed!
Liu Chen took out the Rank Eight immortal gu "Boundary" and the rank seven immortal gu "Limit", set up the Five Regions Great Limit Formation from Tao Zhu's true inheritance, and then took out the five Five Regions Boundary Wall immortal gu rewarded by the System, adding them to the Five Regions Great Limit Formation to further enhance the Formation's power.
The sky-filling five-colored mysterious light miasma directly shrouded the entire Sword Path blessed land. With the addition of those five Five Regions Boundary Wall immortal gu, the mixed five-colored mysterious light miasma turned into five distinct colors.
Similarly, using the immortal gu Aperture Fusion Method, he continued to fuse the entire Five Regions Great Limit Formation with the immortal aperture. The area of the immortal aperture increased again, and the Five Regions Great Limit Formation also divided the entire immortal aperture into Five Regions.
Second step completed.
