"Really?! This is truly wonderful! Junior Brother has actually recovered his Physical Body!" Upon hearing this news, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's face flushed with excitement, his eyes instantly welled up, and tears streamed down like a broken dam.
Ever since he learned that Fang Yuan had become an Immortal Zombie and his path of Cultivation was severed, this matter had been like a poisonous thorn deeply embedded in his heart, constantly tormenting him. But now, Fang Yuan had finally returned to being human, gaining a new lease on life. This joy was far more intense than when he himself successfully underwent Immortal Ascension to the Immortal Realm.
"If that's the case, why haven't we seen Fang Yuan return yet?" Hei Lou Lan pressed, eager for an answer.
Liu Chen frowned, his tone somewhat helpless as he said, "Alas... to be honest, although I witnessed Fang Yuan regain human form at the time, due to the suddenness and urgency of the situation, I didn't have time to carefully observe what he had transformed into. By the time I regained my senses and wanted to get a clearer look, he had already vanished without a trace. Moreover, at that time, I was busy competing with the Heavenly Court Gu Immortal for resources and couldn't spare the effort to search for Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan's whereabouts. However, Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan's original Immortal Zombie body has fallen into the hands of those Shadow Sect fellows, so you must be more vigilant in the future and not be deceived by them!"
"Ah!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng suddenly exclaimed, his face filled with shock. "Junior Brother is missing? What should I do? How can I find him?" He frowned, lost in thought.
A moment later, Tai Bai Yun Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, a resolute glint flashing within them: "Those hateful Shadow Sect fellows actually dared to take Junior Brother's original body! Wouldn't all of Junior Brother's years of Cultivation achievements turn into smoke? No, I absolutely cannot let this happen! I must find a way to retrieve Junior Brother's body!"
Hei Lou Lan, who was beside him, listened to these words and merely smiled indifferently. "Hmph, I always knew that Fang Yuan wouldn't die so easily. Perhaps he's hiding somewhere recuperating. But since his body was snatched by others, it just gives him an opportunity to Cultivate anew. Maybe when he reappears, his strength will be even greater than before, who knows?"
At this moment, Liu Chen suddenly spoke, "Fellow Daoists, I apologize, but I have some important matters that need urgent attention and cannot stay here to entertain you for long. Please forgive me." With that, he stood up, making a gesture to see them off.
Fairy Li Shan saw this and quickly stood up, smiling. "No worries, no worries. Since Brother Liu has matters to attend to, we won't bother you any longer. We shall meet again when fate allows." She exchanged a glance with Hei Lou Lan, and the two nodded in understanding, then turned and left together.
Watching their retreating figures, Tai Bai Yun Sheng gratefully said to Liu Chen, "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Wuming, for informing me about my Junior Brother. If there's anything I can help with in the future, please don't hesitate to ask; I will do my utmost and never refuse!" With that, he also bowed to Liu Chen in farewell and hurried away.
Finally, this Wisdom Path blessed land became empty, with only Liu Chen standing there.
Liu Chen unhesitatingly opened the System Treasure Chests. As dazzling lights flashed, countless incredibly precious items appeared before his eyes—Legacy memories of various Schools and various immortal gu...
In an instant, Liu Chen's Realm in all Schools soared to the Grandmaster level like a rocket! Not only that, but even the already powerful mainstream Schools broke through their Bottlenecks and advanced to the Realm of Great Grandmaster!
Even more astonishingly, in addition to these coveted School Legacies, Liu Chen also harvested dozens of rare Human Dao Immortal Gu! Each of these immortal gu came from the System Treasure Chests on the Ten Extremes Immortal Zombies. They respectively symbolized the unique Physiques of the Ten Extremes Immortal Zombies and were called "Human Dao Immortal Gu."
With these Human Dao Immortal Gu, Liu Chen seemed to have gained ten terrifying Gu Immortals as assistants overnight! Especially the Great Strength True Martial Immortal Gu, which had reached rank eight!
After a period of arduous Refinement, these Ten Extremes immortal gu underwent mutations and eventually all transformed into human forms. Interestingly, these newly born human appearances bore a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Liu Chen himself, with only slight differences in hair color and pupils.
If Liu Chen were willing to put in some effort to nurture and train them, it would be entirely possible to transform these Human Dao Ten Extremes immortal gu into his perfect Clones.
Within the System Treasure Chests, Liu Chen not only obtained most of the Shadow Sect's Legacy, but these Legacies naturally contained Soul Splitting Killer Moves. However, given his current Soul foundation, he could at most split into two sub-Souls.
However, this matter would have to wait until he opened the last treasure chest before a final decision could be made.
After all, this treasure chest was the most precious System Treasure Chest Liu Chen had obtained from the Sovereign Immortal Fetus Fang Yuan. He had always regarded it as his ultimate trump card, to be opened only at the very last moment, and his heart was filled with endless imagination and anticipation for what it might contain.
As a dazzling nine-colored light suddenly burst forth, the System Treasure Chest officially announced its completion of opening. In that instant, countless unique Refinement Path True Meanings belonging to Great Love Immortal Venerable surged into Liu Chen's mind like a tide—Refining Humans, Refining Gu, and even refining the entire vast world... all sorts of shocking and unique Refinement Path Profound Truths seemed to transform into mysterious and ancient runes imprinted deep within his Soul.
In that moment, Liu Chen felt as if he had comprehended the Dao of all things in the world, and his Refinement Path Realm soared like a rocket.
He stepped directly into the supreme Domain that even this vast and boundless world had never truly reached—the Realm of Supreme Great Grandmaster!
"Is this the legendary Realm of Refinement Path Supreme Great Grandmaster? It's truly eye-opening!" Liu Chen muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He finally grasped the Profound Truths contained within this Realm—Ten Extremes Life-Ending, methodical order, and the Ten Sovereign Immortal Fetus Valley Formation, all integrated within his mind.
As his Refinement Path Realm gradually increased, Liu Chen felt as if he had entered a brand new world. Countless inspirations surged into his mind like a tide, continuously emerging. These flashes of insight acted like links, tightly connecting Killer Moves that previously seemed unrelated. More importantly, after some thought and deliberation, he gained over ninety percent certainty about a certain idea that had always been in his heart!
As for those ten incredibly precious Ten Extremes immortal gu, they seemed to have formed some mysterious resonance with him in the dark. Although he had not yet found a suitable time to use them, Liu Chen firmly believed that with patience, there would surely be unexpected gains in the future.
At this moment, the entire Five Regions Zombie Alliance was plunged into chaos. Due to the sudden betrayal of the Shadow Sect, almost all Immortal Zombies were brutally massacred because of the Ten Extremes Immortal Zombie Life-Ending Formation.
However, even though this upheaval caused heavy losses for the Five Regions Zombie Alliance, at the same time, the vast amount of blessed land resources occupied by the Immortal Zombies could not all be taken away. This undoubtedly gave Liu Chen an excellent opportunity to seize these valuable riches.
Especially the East Sea Zombie Alliance, whose resources were the most abundant and rich. Therefore, Liu Chen unhesitatingly dispatched his two most favored Disciples there to preemptively seize the resources.
