When the Golden True Essence gathered to a certain extent, Liu Chen unhesitatingly threw the Immortal Wind Gu into the turtle shell.
After the Immortal Wind Gu was refined, it transformed into a faint green breeze, which was immediately bound within the Wind-Stabilizing Turtle Shell, preventing it from dissipating.
Following this, he placed the Seven-Colored Radiant Light into the turtle shell.
With the addition of the Immortal Wind Gu and the Seven-Colored Radiant Light, the True Essence in the turtle shell began to churn violently. Seeing this, Liu Chen quickly changed his hand gestures, employing the Gu Refinement techniques accumulated by Fang Yuan in his past five hundred years.
Each of these Gu Refinement techniques was incredibly intricate, requiring extremely high skill and experience to execute. Liu Chen concentrated fully on performing these techniques, not daring to show the slightest slack.
Under Liu Chen's control, the True Essence in the turtle shell became increasingly concentrated, and various gu materials gradually fused together under the action of the True Essence.
However, this was merely the beginning. Next, Liu Chen still needed to sequentially place other auxiliary gu materials into the turtle shell.
The refinement process for these auxiliary gu materials was exceptionally complex, requiring a significant amount of time and effort. Liu Chen dared not be negligent in the slightest; he meticulously controlled the True Essence, perfectly integrating each type of gu materials into the turtle shell.
Just refining these auxiliary gu materials alone took Liu Chen a full three days and three nights.
Finally, all the auxiliary gu materials were refined. Liu Chen dared not delay; he immediately placed seven Star Gu into the turtle shell.
These seven Star Gu were the key to refining Fixed Immortal Travel. Liu Chen knew this well, so after placing the Star Gu, he continuously activated several Refinement Path Gu, adding them to the speed of refining the Star Gu.
As the Star Gu were refined one after another, Liu Chen's excitement grew. He focused intently on forming the final hand seal, a crucial step that would determine success or failure.
When the final hand seal was completed, the Wind-Stabilizing Turtle Shell suddenly emitted a slight tremor, as if something inside was awakening. Immediately after, streaks of verdant green light gradually bloomed on the turtle shell, growing brighter and brighter, eventually forming a dazzling orb of light.
At the center of the light orb, a verdant green butterfly quietly emerged. Its wings trembled slightly, emitting a mysterious and captivating aura. This butterfly seemed to sense Liu Chen's presence and slowly flew out of the turtle shell, gracefully landing in Liu Chen's palm like a dancing Fairy.
Liu Chen gazed at the butterfly in his hand, his eyes sparkling with excitement and joy. He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha, I've finally refined Fixed Immortal Travel!"
He carefully stored this newly refined Gu into his body, then unhesitatingly activated Fixed Immortal Travel. Fixed Immortal Travel slowly floated before Liu Chen, emitting a faint green light.
After three breaths, Fixed Immortal Travel suddenly transformed into a gentle breeze, softly enveloping Liu Chen's entire body. This breeze seemed to possess some magical power, completely shrouding Liu Chen's body.
The next moment, Liu Chen's figure, like a phantom, rapidly vanished within the underground cave, enveloped by the breeze. Only a few personal garments were left, quietly lying in place, as if recounting the fact of his recent departure... Northern Plains, Corrupted Poison Grassland.
Suddenly, Liu Chen appeared on the Corrupted Poison Grassland without any warning, and he was completely naked!
Rank Five Fixed Immortal Travel could transport a Gu Master to any desired location, with the side effect that it could only transport the individual, not their clothes.
He looked around and found that this grassland was flat, with hardly any undulations as far as the eye could see. However, unlike ordinary grasslands, the flowers, plants, and trees here all displayed an eerie purple color, as if tainted by some toxin, making one feel that it was full of various dangers.
Liu Chen quickly took out a Gu from his pocket and then put it into his mouth. Instantly, the Gu transformed into a ray of light and merged into his body. Immediately after, his body was covered with a thick layer of beast hide, which was the clothing he had prepared beforehand.
After dressing, Liu Chen's gaze fell in one direction. That was his destination in Northern Plains — Lang Ya Blessed Land.
However, the Five Regions of the Gu World each had their differences, and the environment of Northern Plains clearly had an impact on him. As soon as he arrived, he felt his body being suppressed by an inexplicable force; his original Four-Turn Peak cultivation could now only exert the strength of Third Rank Peak.
"Is this the pressure of an outer region?" Liu Chen mused inwardly, keenly noticing the abnormality of his body. He made a decisive move, unhesitatingly summoning the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider, wanting to see if this Gu would also be suppressed like him.
However, to his surprise, the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider showed no signs of being suppressed. It remained majestic, exuding a powerful aura, as if this Northern Plains region had no effect on it.
Seeing this, a hint of doubt arose in Liu Chen's heart: "Could it be..." He then quickly took out several Gu that he had obtained from treasure chests and carefully observed their reactions. The result filled him with joy — these Gu were also completely unaffected by the suppression of the Northern Plains region!
This discovery was undoubtedly an unexpected pleasant surprise, and Liu Chen's mood instantly lightened. Even if his own cultivation was somewhat suppressed in this region, with the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider as his bodyguard, his strength was still not to be underestimated.
Thus, even if he encountered danger, Liu Chen did not need to worry too much. Because even if he couldn't defeat an enemy, with the speed and strength of the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider, it would be difficult for anyone to catch up to him.
Not only that, with the help of the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider, Liu Chen's journey to the entrance of Lang Ya Blessed Land — Crescent Moon Lake — would also be greatly shortened.
What might have originally taken a longer time would now probably only take a short three hours to reach.
Activating the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider, Liu Chen quickly arrived at the shore of Crescent Moon Lake. Along the way, he encountered many Poison-Bearded Wolves, all of whom he killed, becoming food for the two sword Gu, Blood Flow and White Bones. These two Gu, however, were suppressed by the Northern Plains region and could only exert Second Rank power.
This was a precious water source, and many beast groups gathered nearby. Here, even wolf packs and sheep flocks did not fight each other, quietly drinking water by the lake.
Passing through Crescent Moon Lake, Liu Chen arrived at a vast, undulating gray-white Stone Forest. The Stone Forest was enormous, almost endless to the eye, with stone pillars standing tall, each hundreds of meters high.
