In this turbulent sea region, where waves surged and undercurrents flowed, mysterious bubbles appeared and disappeared like ghosts. They seemed to have their own unique rhythm of life, sometimes vanishing silently, and sometimes emerging like mushrooms after rain, repeating endlessly, dazzling the eye. Even the most perceptive Valley Immortal would likely find it difficult to detect the subtle differences hidden within.
"It's here!" Liu Chen gazed intently at the sea surface covered in bubbles, pondering inwardly. He acted decisively, controlling the immortal valley house to quickly approach the edge of the water and anchor steadily.
Immediately afterward, he activated a Killer Move: Gray Key!
In an instant, a pitch-black shadow shot out from Liu Chen's hand, immediately transforming into a key-shaped spike, entirely black and flickering with an eerie cold light.
This spike, like an arrow released from a bowstring, sped toward a seemingly empty place at astonishing speed. Just as it was about to reach its target, a sound so faint it was almost imperceptible suddenly rang out.
As the strange sound echoed, the space, which had been as calm as water, began to ripple subtly, slowly spreading out like the surface of a lake struck by a stone.
And in the center of these ripples, a magnificent Immortal Path Great Formation was revealed.
Even more surprising, however, was that right in the center of this great formation, a shimmering, illusory bubble was concealed, as if the entire formation had been constructed around it.
"What a magnificent Immortal Path Great Formation! Truly wonderful!" Liu Chen gazed intently at the suddenly revealed Immortal Path Great Formation, marveling inwardly. Relying on his profound and exquisite Formation Dao Realm, he instantly perceived the mysteries contained within this Immortal Path Great Formation. It did not use immortal gu as Materials for arrangement, but cleverly utilized the unique natural Dao marks of this place, supplemented by numerous ordinary Mortal Gu, meticulously planned and arranged to construct such a superb and astonishingly powerful Immortal Path Great Formation.
Generally speaking, if any other Immortal Path Great Formation were placed before him, even a Formation Dao expert like Liu Chen would inevitably have to expend considerable effort figuring out how to break it. But for the Immortal Path Great Formation before him, it was not difficult. This was because, through the memories of Bai Hai Sha Tuo, Liu Chen already possessed crucial information regarding the exact path to find this mysterious Shadow Sect legacy and the key methods needed to activate the Immortal Path Great Formation.
Liu Chen activated the Killer Move "Gray Key," and the Immortal Path Great Formation immediately emitted dazzling light and began to operate violently. Accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds, the Immortal Path Great Formation revealed a passage.
Liu Chen's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of sword light that passed through the passage and quickly moved forward. Before long, he arrived before the bubble. Looking at the bubble right in front of him, Liu Chen didn't hesitate, extending his right hand to gently touch it... In an instant, an invisible suction force violently erupted, tightly enveloping Liu Chen. He didn't even have time to react before his entire being was sucked into the bubble.
When Liu Chen opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. It looked like a bustling village market, complete with shops, pubs, and inns, with countless colorful tavern arches, but strangely, the vast market was completely empty, silent enough to be frightening.
"Is this the Market?" Liu Chen wondered inwardly. Just then, a strange power suddenly surged into his heart, causing him to widen his eyes. Immediately afterward, the scene before him began to twist and deform, as if he were entering a completely different world.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Chen found himself in a tranquil pool of water. The surroundings were silent, with only the breeze gently sweeping across the surface, creating layers of ripples. And right by his feet stood an ancient well.
Liu Chen curiously leaned closer to the well opening and peered inside. To his surprise, however, there was no well water as expected; instead, there was a lifelike image—it was the bustling market he had just been in!
The indispensable colorful treasure chest was clearly visible in the image, lying quietly in the corner, emitting an alluring light.
This well was the legendary Heaven and Earth Secret Realm Market!
Anyone who does not understand the mysteries of the Market will be trapped here forever; but as long as one comprehends this secret, they can easily escape.
Accompanied by the clear and pleasant System voice, the colorful treasure chest radiating mysterious light was slowly opened by Liu Chen.
"Reward obtained (Immortal Path Killer Move: Well-Ordered). This is an Immortal Path Killer Move activated using the Market as its core, allowing various types of Dao marks to complement each other without causing Dao mark repulsion..."
"Dao marks don't repel each other? Isn't this a beggar's version of the Supreme Immortal Fetus Body!" Hearing the System's voice, Liu Chen accepted the Immortal Path Killer Move, and then he understood the profound mystery of the Move.
After receiving this unexpected pleasant surprise, Liu Chen was extremely satisfied with this System reward.
With it, he no longer needed to worry about Dao marks repelling each other, and he could devour other immortal apertures at will to raise his cultivation. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Formless Hand, Second Move: Relocation."
With a thought, Liu Chen immediately deployed the improved Formless Hand Killer Move and rapidly changed its Move.
Ever since he witnessed Soul Shaking Mountain, he had been contemplating how to transfer a Heaven and Earth Secret Realm into a Killer Move. However, at that time, his Theft Path Realm was too low to complete the improvement of Formless Hand. Now that his Theft Path Realm had improved, he had successfully modified a Killer Move.
Specifically targeting Heaven and Earth Secret Realms.
In an instant, countless formless, intangible large hands appeared out of thin air. They seemed to be guided by a mysterious force, gathering together one after another.
In the blink of an eye, these Formless Hands fused into an immensely colossal palm, its size comparable to a towering mountain peak!
Following a soft shout from Liu Chen, the mountain-sized colossal hand slowly descended with unparalleled might. Its five fingers clamped down tightly like iron pincers on the well located within the Market.
Immediately afterward, the immense hand applied slightly more pressure, and the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm Market began to tremble faintly. As time passed, this shaking became increasingly obvious, as if the entire world was about to shatter. Under the effect of this powerful force, the Formless Colossal Hand actually began to slowly lift the Market!
Seeing everything that unfolded before him, a subtle smile appeared on Liu Chen's face. Although the Formless Colossal Hand could only Move the Market at a slow speed after using the ultimate Move "Relocation," it was enough for him. After all, it was not easy for such a massive Market to be moved instantaneously.
Finally, after long and arduous effort, the entire Heaven and Earth Secret Realm Market was completely moved into Liu Chen's own immortal aperture by the Formless Colossal Hand.
Looking at the empty space and the successfully transferred Market, Liu Chen felt both excited and deeply moved: "It finally succeeded... but it's still not fast enough. It would be better if it were faster... It seems I still need to figure out how to further enhance the power of Formless Hand.
