"Hmm... It seems I need to quickly find a new blessed land to replace the one originally belonging to the Zombie Alliance! However, that matter can be discussed later. The top priority is to find a way to swallow it and raise my cultivation to Rank Eight!" Liu Chen pondered to himself, then quickly put away the terrifying Skull Blood Sea Array.
He no longer saw anything worth regarding in this Yellow Springs Sea Area where the Zombie Alliance was located, so without another word, he activated the mobile immortal array and arrived in the blink of an eye at a completely strange and desolate place—an empty, lifeless blessed land.
This so-called blessed land looked exceptionally desolate and lonely, with almost no valuable resource points to be seen in the surroundings; it was easy to imagine that it must have been looted countless times by others before.
In reality, this was the blessed land left behind after the once-famous Fairy Yu Lu perished. After being conquered by Shark Demon and Fang Yuan, several astonishingly powerful Battlefield Killing Moves originally set here had already been completely broken. As for those immortal gu Legacies, most had been seized by the Rank Eight Blazing Heaven Demoness.
Fortunately, Liu Chen had obtained the true Legacy memory of Blazing Heaven Demoness from a System treasure chest, so he was perfectly clear about the specific situation of this blessed land.
Apart from being unable to make the Land Spirit of this blessed land acknowledge her as master, Blazing Heaven Demoness had basically obtained the immortal gu and some of the Legacies. However, before she could digest them, she became a sacrifice for the Shadow Sect, and this Yu Lu Blessed Land naturally became ownerless.
The reason Liu Chen came here was nothing more than two things: first, for the Land Spirit here; second, for the blessed land itself.
One must know that Fairy Yu Lu had received the Paradise True Inheritance! The Battlefield Killing Moves she mastered were all among the most top-tier in the Five Regions. And at this very moment, Liu Chen urgently needed to raise his cultivation by swallowing apertures; given this, how could he not value this Rank Seven blessed land?
That said, the appearance of the Yu Lu Land Spirit was that of a delicately crafted, beautiful doll in ancient attire. To make it acknowledge him as master, one had to satisfy an extremely harsh condition: complete a Rank Eight Battlefield Killing Move that even Fairy Yu Lu herself had failed to set up: the Yu Lu Battlefield.
However, it was a pity that in Liu Chen's current plans, he simply had no time to spare to help Fairy Yu Lu complete that Yu Lu Battlefield.
Thus, he made a prompt decision, went straight to find the Yu Lu Land Spirit, and obtained that crucial System treasure chest from it. After opening the chest, Liu Chen got the true Legacy memory of Fairy Yu Lu just as he had wished. This Legacy memory allowed Liu Chen's Realm of various Battlefield Killing Moves to reach a higher level once again.
Immediately after, he unhesitatingly unleashed the Immortal Path Killer Move: Restrain Spirit Send General, firmly suppressing the Land Spirit in one go.
Finally, he swallowed the entire Yu Lu Blessed Land!
It is worth mentioning that although that abandoned Yu Lu Battlefield was not truly put to use, it still brought him many unexpected inspirations and revelations.
The core of this Yu Lu Battlefield Killing Move was actually the ability to simulate mirror Clones with strength equivalent to the enemy, and these Clones also possessed the ability of continuous materialization, forming more mirrors to create a surrounding kill formation.
Then, without hesitation, he activated the Star Gate Killing Move, instantly passing through the Star Gate to arrive in Northern Plains.
The struggle between Shadow Sect and the Ten Great Ancient Sects of Central Continent for Luo Po Valley, although it ended with the victory of the Central Continent Gu Immortals, was taken advantage of by Liu Chen, who seized a blessed land and killed the Rank Seven Gu Immortal Hui Fengzi.
Because of this, many blessed lands were left behind in this land. Relying on the experience accumulated from devouring the Zombie Alliance's blessed land, and also possessing the method to break open the portals of blessed lands, Liu Chen skillfully broke through the barriers of the blessed lands, directly suppressed the Land Spirits, and quickly devoured several blessed lands.
However, he did not eat and wipe clean all the blessed lands, but specifically kept one Earth Path blessed land for future use when traveling back and forth to Northern Plains.
After everything was ready, Liu Chen set off on a new journey without stopping—to swallow that Star Constellation Blessed Land from Central Continent!
He took all the Star Path resources in this blessed land into his possession and properly placed them into the Little Blue Heaven within his Supreme Sword Aperture. With the Star Child Earth Spirit managing the blessed land extremely well, it was more than twice as prosperous as when he had first obtained the Star Constellation Blessed Land.
After activating the mobile immortal array, Liu Chen flashed and returned to Southern Border, to Muddy Mountain of the Ni Family tribe.
After standing still, Liu Chen slowly extended his right hand and waved it gently. As a ray of light flashed, his immortal aperture opened instantly.
Immediately after, a figure walked out from inside. This person wore an earth-yellow robe; he looked very old, with snowy white eyebrows and hair, but he was full of vitality, and his eyes were as bright and dazzling as stars.
This person was the contemporary Mud Minister of the Ni Family, Mud Minister!
Upon seeing Liu Chen, Mud Minister immediately knelt on both knees, kowtowed respectfully, and shouted: "This old man pays respects to the Immortal!"
He kowtowed three times in a row before standing up, then bowed deeply to Liu Chen again, expressing his respect and gratitude toward this savior.
At this time, although Mud Minister was over a hundred years old, because he had mastered some methods to prolong life, his physical condition was still quite good. When he saw this mysterious Immortal before him again, the one who had taken their entire clan away in the past, a complex emotion could not help but surge in his heart.
On one hand, he knew that the other party must possess heaven-reaching and earth-shattering abilities; on the other hand, after so many years of development, their Ni Family had not only not declined in the new territory but had instead become increasingly prosperous, even cultivating a powerful Rank Five Gu Master, who was his grandson.
Thinking of this, Mud Minister pondered to himself: "Presumably, the Immortal summoning me here this time must mean there is something needing this old man's help, even if it requires my life, I would not hesitate." Thus, he quickly bowed and asked: "I wonder what instructions the Immortal has for this old man today?" His words revealed an incomparable sense of awe and reverence.
"Get up. Today, I am bestowing an Opportunity upon you, and you only need to help me with a trivial little favor." Liu Chen saw his arm lift lightly, instantly waving out a strand of incomparably gentle Sword Qi, which lifted Mud Minister's aged body like an invisible force. Immediately after, Liu Chen smiled, gazing gently at Mud Minister below, and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Mud Minister could not help but feel an unspeakable surge of excitement in his heart. He widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment, but quickly recovered his composure and responded without hesitation: "I await the Immortal's orders; this humble one will definitely do his utmost and will never refuse!"
After getting a satisfactory reply, Liu Chen nodded slightly, indicating his approval. Subsequently, he unleashed his Divine Ability again, activating the powerful Wisdom Path methods within his body, and extended a finger to point directly at Mud Minister's forehead.
At this moment, the Immortal Ascension Essential Method entered the depths of Mud Minister's mind without any obstruction! It was as if it naturally and smoothly belonged to Mud Minister from the beginning.
Mud Minister was stunned by the sudden turn of events, standing frozen on the spot. However, after just a moment, an uncontrollable look of ecstasy appeared on his face. Because at this moment, the method on how to cultivation for Immortal Ascension had been deeply branded into the depths of his Soul, becoming a memory he would never forget in his life.
Coming back to his senses, Mud Minister quickly knelt on both knees, kowtowed heavily to Liu Chen to thank him, and shouted incessantly: "Thank you, Immortal, for your grace! For such great kindness and virtue, even if this humble one were to be smashed to pieces, it would be hard to repay one ten-thousandth of it! From now on, as long as the Immortal has use for this humble one, just speak the word; even if it means going through fire and water, this humble one will not hesitate to die ten thousand times!"
Looking at the pious and tearfully grateful Mud Minister, Liu Chen raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile. He waved his hand, signaling for Mud Minister to get up and leave, while urging him in a calm tone: "Alright, there is no need for such formalities. You should hurry and start preparing for your Immortal Ascension.
