"Next, it's your turn..." Liu Chen murmured softly. He slowly turned around, his gaze falling upon the other location of the Shadow Sect Legacy, which was also hidden here.
That spot was precisely the center of the pool where Liu Chen currently stood. In that small puddle, a winding tributary of the River of Time quietly flowed, eventually converging into an even smaller and more exquisite pond. Astonishingly, within this seemingly ordinary small pond, an already formed Immortal Gu was hidden!
With just a glance, Liu Chen recognized this Immortal Gu as a Rank Seven Lava Immortal Gu, which belonged to a Shadow Sect member who had already died in battle.
Furthermore, in one corner of the pond, there was a colored treasure chest automatically generated by the System.
However, what was most eye-catching was the small pond itself, renowned throughout the world.
That's right, this was one of the Three Ponds of the World, famous across the Five Regions.
"Regret Pool"
It was a pity that although the Shadow Sect had coveted it for a long time, they had never been able to find the whereabouts of the most crucial core Immortal Gu, "Regret," inside the pool.
Out of necessity, they had to settle for the second-best option: utilizing the unique Tributary of Time and the might of the River of Time's Heaven and Earth to firmly preserve the Immortal Gu recipe imprint here.
This way, if the Immortal Gu in the Shadow Sect's possession were unfortunately destroyed one day, they could use the power of the River of Time to refine a new immortal gu.
This was also a Legacy contained within Bai Hai Sha Tuo's memory! Unfortunately, all the other Shadow Sect Legacy locations had strict protective measures either guarded by immensely powerful Valley Immortals, or requiring specific killer move Valley Wormss to activate mechanisms. The information Bai Hai Sha Tuo possessed only included the method to enter this specific Legacy located in the Chaotic Current Sea Region.
In comparison, only this place was relatively easier to obtain among all the Shadow Sect Legacy locations, and it was a secret location of extraordinary significance and crucial importance to Bai Hai Sha Tuo.
"Give it here!"
Liu Chen once again fully activated the Formless Hand killer move, instantly uprooting the entire Regret Pool like a fierce wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and swiftly moving it directly into his immortal aperture.
Compared to the effort and energy expended when moving the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm "Marketplace" previously, this operation was many times easier!
Moreover, after the Regret Pool was successfully moved into his immortal aperture, Liu Chen immediately activated Fixed Immortal Travel (Pseudo) without delay. Three breaths later, he had already appeared above the remote Northern Plains region.
Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after Liu Chen left, a figure flashed into existence like a phantom.
This person was the Rank Seven Gu Immortal of the Shadow Sect located in the Eastern Sea. His gaze was sharp like a hawk's as he scanned the empty scene before him. His expression instantly turned extremely grim, and he couldn't help but roar in anger: "Damn it! That cursed little thief!"
Even though he immediately sensed the change in the Regret Pool, he still allowed the Regret Pool and the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm Marketplace to be stolen. If their Ten Thousand Year Great Plan hadn't been close to completion, he truly would have faced death without redemption.
At the same time, this mysterious Shadow Sect Valley Immortal quickly used an Information Path Immortal Path Killer Move to relay what had happened here to the rest of the Shadow Sect members at the fastest speed.
At this very moment, Old Man Yanshi, who was in the distant Southern Border, received this urgent intelligence and immediately began his deduction without hesitation. However, regrettably, despite his best efforts, he ultimately found nothing.
Facing such a bizarre situation, a thought flashed through Old Man Yanshi's mind could it be that Devil Head from beyond the Heavens was causing trouble again? Thinking of this, he mused internally: "Hmm... most likely, something happened to Bai Hai Sha Tuo."
Consequently, Bai Hai Sha Tuo immediately conveyed important instructions to other Shadow Sect members, demanding that they must move all known Shadow Sect hidden treasures and Legacies to prevent them from falling into the hands of that Thieving Heaven Successor again..."Reward obtained (Retrospection Immortal Gu): Rank Eight Space Path Immortal Gu, possessing the ability to reverse time and space, allowing the time of a region to flow backward..."
When Liu Chen returned to the Northern Plains, he impatiently opened the Colored Treasure Chest obtained from the Regret Pool. Just then, a clear and loud System notification sound suddenly rang out in his mind.
"Haha! This is truly getting exactly what you wished for!" Hearing this news, Liu Chen stared intently at the uniquely shaped Immortal Gu in his hand, which resembled a silver snake biting its own tail, and a joyful smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
One must know that although the Regret Pool had been successfully extracted from the Tributary of Time, it could no longer exert its proper function because it lacked the most important core Foundation as support.
Originally, Liu Chen was calculating how to reclaim the Gu As Before immortal gu from Lang Ya Earth Spirit. Who would have thought that fate would favor him so much, directly rewarding him with an even stronger Retrospection Immortal Gu through the System! With it, it would not only be sufficient to replace the original Gu As Before Immortal Gu and become the new core of the Regret Pool, but it might also allow the entire Regret Pool to radiate power greater than ever before.
This harvest was simply beyond imagination! Liu Chen secretly mused: "Such abundant results are enough for me to digest for a while." Consequently, he resolved not to easily venture out and cause trouble in the short term. After all, the immediate priority was to properly organize what he had gained and, while he was at it, meticulously manage his own immortal aperture.
Using the Heaven-Cave Gu to communicate with Treasure Yellow Heaven, Liu Chen extensively searched for all kinds of Valley Wormss. The necessary Valley Wormss to form the Immortal Path Killer MoveOrderly Arrangementhad already been fully collected by him.
Once everything was prepared, Liu Chen immediately focused his attention on the vast and boundless Heaven and Earth Secret Realm Marketplace before him.
He saw him forming hand seals, chanting incantations, and fully activating the astonishingly powerful Immortal Path Killer MoveOrderly Arrangement.
In an instant, brilliant rays of light shot out from around his body, like agile, dancing Flood Dragons, quickly burrowing into his immortal aperture.
As the Immortal Path Killer Move was continuously executed, Liu Chen could clearly feel an invisible force gradually spreading outward in his immortal aperture, centered around the Marketplace.
At the same time, the conflicting and mutually exclusive Dao Marks originally present inside his body also began to subtly change... "It's finally complete!" Liu Chen let out a long breath, his gaze settling on the immortal valley house he had personally constructed, a feeling of indescribable accomplishment surging in his heart.
This was undoubtedly his most satisfying creation to datean immortal valley house standing like a giant, its appearance exactly resembling an immense Sword-Casting Furnace.
The entire structure was cleverly divided into two distinct halves: one side was scorching hot like fire, a fiercely burning furnace; the other side was cold like water, named the quiet and deep Regret Pool. Between the two stood a solemn Sword-Casting Platform, upon which lay a weighty Giant Hammer.
