Eastern Sea, Sword Tomb of Casting Sword True Inheritance.
After leaving Royal Court Blessed Land, Liu Chen rushed back here without stopping. He looked around, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, because this was the place he had always longed for—the location of Burial Sword Soil.
Liu Chen, without hesitation, activated his Gu, moving all of this Burial Sword Soil into his immortal aperture. In the blink of an eye, a small resource point appeared within his immortal aperture, burying countless broken swords.
Looking at this resource point, Liu Chen pondered. He decided to throw in all the broken swords he had failed to forge in the past, hoping that with the passage of time and the nourishment of the immortal aperture, these broken swords could regain vitality and become useful.
Not only that, Liu Chen had an even grander goal. He wanted this resource point to continuously improve, eventually transforming into an artificial Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.
After arranging the resource point, Liu Chen did not stop. He gently waved his sleeve, destroying everything here, accompanied by the backflow of seawater.
His figure immediately transformed into a sword light and fled a thousand li, choosing a secluded island to set up a Gu formation that concealed his aura.
Only then did Liu Chen step into his immortal aperture. As soon as he entered, he heard a cheerful voice: "Master, you're back!"
It was Living Treasure Window, and it was extremely excited to see Liu Chen return. Before Liu Chen could speak, Living Treasure Window eagerly said: "Master, I have sorted all the Gu you sent in according to your instructions. I specifically kept the precious Gu, and for the other ordinary Gu, I have already exchanged them for various Gu materials from Shang Clan Treasure Realm."
Liu Chen's face showed a satisfied smile upon hearing this. He greatly admired Living Treasure Window's ability to handle matters; this little fellow could always accurately understand his intentions and quickly act upon them.
"Well done, Living Treasure Window!" Liu Chen looked around with joy, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He praised Living Treasure Window's performance endlessly, because he knew very well that Living Treasure Window had done its best.
Liu Chen noticed that all the rare Gu left behind were of the highest quality, and the various Gu materials exchanged from Shang Clan Treasure Realm were all things he urgently needed. This made him very satisfied with Living Treasure Window's work, so he unhesitatingly reached out and gently pressed on Living Treasure Window's head, giving it the praise it deserved.
"How are those few people I captured earlier doing now?" Liu Chen then asked, his tone revealing his concern for these individuals.
Living Treasure Window immediately replied: "Those few people are all well-behaved. I gave them plenty of food and didn't interfere with them too much. However, I'm not sure what use they are to you, Master, so I didn't dare to act on my own."
Liu Chen nodded after hearing this, indicating his understanding. He thought to himself that Living Treasure Window was indeed cautious in its actions, which was commendable.
"Hmm, you did very well." Liu Chen smiled and said to Living Treasure Window, "From now on, you will help me manage the immortal aperture. I'll go see those fellows."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Chen's figure, like a ghost, instantly vanished without a trace.
Living Treasure Window looked in the direction Liu Chen left, secretly making up its mind: "Hmm, I will definitely work hard, Master!" It encouraged itself, hoping not to disappoint Liu Chen's trust and expectations.
Within the immortal aperture, there was a tranquil silence.
The four individuals abducted by Liu Chen were harmoniously sitting together, having lit a bonfire and boiling a pot of meat soup.
Ma Hong Yun was in charge of watching the fire and cooking the meat. He carefully monitored the flames, afraid of accidentally burning the meat. Zhao Lianyun hid behind Ma Hong Yun, her body trembling slightly, clearly filled with fear of this unfamiliar environment.
These two were Mortals and posed no threat to the other two. Hei Lou Lan and Bian Sixuan had temporarily formed an Alliance. Although they were both Gu Masters, they could not use Gu within this immortal aperture. If that strange window hadn't left them food, they would probably have starved to death.
Just then, Liu Chen's figure suddenly appeared before them without warning.
"Ah!" Ma Hong Yun screamed in fright, quickly stood up, and used his body to shield Zhao Lianyun behind him.
Bian Sixuan was the first to react. She hurriedly knelt down and respectfully said: "This humble woman, Bian Sixuan, thanks this Immortal for saving her life. Having nothing to repay you with, I am willing to be your servant."
Bian Sixuan was the first person to be captured into the immortal aperture. She had experienced life-and-death trials in Royal Court Blessed Land, which was why she treated Liu Chen with such respect. Moreover, Gu Masters naturally held a sense of awe towards Gu Immortals.
"You, you, Gu Immortal adult, please, where did Uncle go?" Ma Hong Yun looked at the person in front of him with an anxious expression, even a few beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. His voice trembled slightly, as if he was very worried about Pan Ping's safety.
However, facing Ma Hong Yun's inquiry, the other person did not answer directly but instead curved his lips slightly, revealing an inscrutable smile. This smile made Ma Hong Yun even more uneasy, and he couldn't help but start overthinking. Had Uncle encountered some misfortune?
While Ma Hong Yun was lost in thought, the person suddenly stretched out a hand and lightly brushed his own face. In the blink of an eye, his appearance underwent an astonishing change; the originally unfamiliar face instantly transformed into Pan Ping's likeness!
"You don't recognize me like this, Fei Cai, right? Then you should recognize me like this, right?" Liu Chen couldn't help but tease, looking at Ma Hong Yun's astonished expression.
"Pan Ping!"
Hei Lou Lan, who had been sitting there as steady as a mountain, now trembled violently as if struck by lightning. Her beautiful eyes widened, and her face was filled with an expression of disbelief.
She never imagined that two Gu Immortal seeds were hidden among her subordinates! Moreover, these two Gu Immortal seeds had used her identity as the Alliance leader to successfully infiltrate Royal Court Blessed Land, successfully ascend to Immortal status with the help of Royal Court Blessed Land, and even toppled the belief of the entire Northern Plains—the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!
"Pan Ping!"
Bian Sixuan's exclamation sounded almost simultaneously. She was equally astonished, because she had fought the Lone Blade Pan Ping many times and knew his strength like the back of her hand. However, she had never expected that Pan Ping was hidden so deeply, making it impossible to fathom his true strength.
Just then, Ma Hong Yun's voice suddenly came: "It's you, Uncle, that's great! Now I can finally rest easy. Miss Xiao Yun, this is the Gu Master Uncle I once told you about, the one who saved me!" His tone was filled with excitement and joy, as if he had met a long-lost relative.
