Liu Chen slowly Advanced along the passage and finally arrived at an incredibly spacious White Bone Hall. This hall was magnificent, filled with an ancient and mysterious Aura.
In the center of the hall, a giant white bone pyramid stood tall. Liu Chen cautiously stepped onto the pyramid's steps, walking towards the summit one step at a time.
When he finally reached the top of the pyramid, the sight before him filled him with awe. At the pyramid's Peak, an amethyst treasure box floated, emitting a faint purple glow, as if attracting Liu Chen's attention.
Liu Chen reached out and opened the treasure box directly.
The moment the treasure box opened, a purple light illuminated, then gradually dissipated.
Looking closely, Liu Chen saw a Rank Five bone Dao Gu lying in his hand. This Gu was entirely like two interlocking jade rings, one green and one red.
"Reward obtained: (Bone-Flesh Reunion Gu) a Rank Five bone Dao Gu, capable of allowing the True Essence of two Gu Masters to flow through each other without being repelled by different True Essence," the System's prompt sounded in Liu Chen's ear.
Immediately after, Liu Chen turned his gaze to the golden treasure box he had initially obtained. He opened it without hesitation, and a dazzling golden light instantly shone from within the box.
"Reward obtained: (Bone-Flesh True Legacy) the True Legacy of Grey Bone Genius, which includes his life's Legacy," the System's prompt sounded again.
A vast amount of information instantly flooded Liu Chen's mind. This information was the life's memories of Grey Bone Genius. He saw Grey Bone Genius's hardships on the cultivation Dao, and felt the difficulties and arduousness of the bone Dao.
This was already Liu Chen's third time absorbing Legacy memories, and he was long accustomed to this feeling. As the memories continuously poured in, Liu Chen's bone Dao Realm also rapidly improved, and his understanding of the bone Dao deepened.
After obtaining the Grey Bone True Legacy and the Bone-Flesh Reunion Gu, Liu Chen lost interest in White Bone Mountain. This place, which once filled him with anticipation, now held no attraction in his eyes.
He unhesitatingly mounted the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider and, like a flash of lightning, galloped down the cliff as if on flat ground.
Leaving the White Bone Mountain territory, Liu Chen found that the outside world was already in the third month of spring, with all things reviving and a vibrant scene. But he did not stop, his heart set on only one goal—Shang Clan City, where the Shang Clan was located.
He galloped non-stop, traversing countless mountains and rivers, enduring the elements, traveling day and night. After more than half a month of arduous trekking, Liu Chen finally arrived at Shang Clan City.
From afar, Shang Clan City was magnificent, its city walls soaring into the clouds, like an insurmountable fortress. The city walls were plastered with various wanted posters of Demonic Path Gu Masters.
Liu Chen stood at the entrance of Shang Clan City and immediately saw a colorful treasure box in the city, shimmering with six colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and indigo—under the sunlight, as if calling to him. This was the first time Liu Chen had seen such a style of treasure box, and he couldn't help but look at it twice.
Shang Clan City was the first large city Liu Chen had encountered since his Transmigration, and its scale was astonishing. Standing at the city gate, he couldn't even see the end of the city.
Before the three city gates, traffic was bustling, and people flowed like a stream. According to different levels, people queued in order to enter the city.
Liu Chen put the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider into his Aperture, then took out twenty primeval stones from his Pregnant, casually tossing them to the Gu Master guarding the city gate, who then waved his hand, signaling Liu Chen could enter the city. Seeing this, Liu Chen said nothing more and stepped into the city.
After entering the city, Liu Chen scanned his surroundings. After confirming it was safe, he unhesitatingly reached out and absorbed the colorful treasure box into the System. This colorful treasure box emitted six colors of light: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and indigo.
Liu Chen was full of curiosity about this treasure box, as he had only seen similar colorful treasure boxes in beginner treasure boxes before. A treasure box of this level was probably already at the Gu Immortal level, and it might even open to reveal a rare treasure like an Immortal Gu.
However, Liu Chen knew very well that with his current Third Rank cultivation, opening an Immortal Gu was not a good thing. This meant he would face immense danger, possibly even attracting a fatal calamity. Therefore, he decided not to open this treasure box for now, but to wait for an opportune moment.
At least, he would wait until he reached the Rank Five Peak before considering whether to open this treasure box. By then, his strength would be sufficient to deal with any potential crises, and he would be better able to protect himself and the treasures within the box.
Just as Liu Chen was contemplating the treasure box, a flamboyant elderly woman suddenly blocked his path.
"Big brother, looking for a place to stay? Only half a primeval stone per night!" the elderly woman greeted with a smile.
"Forget it," Liu Chen said indifferently, simultaneously raising a hand. Silver True Essence surged from his hand, instantly causing the people surrounding him to unconsciously take a step back.
A Three-Cycle Gu Master was already a person of certain status in this world, and even in a place like Shang Clan City, he would receive some preferential treatment. The strength Liu Chen displayed garnered him a few more points of reverence from those around him.
Shang Clan's priority was always trade. Both sides of the road were lined with shops and vendors selling various goods, bustling with activity. Liu Chen couldn't help but take a second look.
Specialties from various Mountain Villages in Southern Border were all sold here.
Continuing deeper into Shang Clan City, Liu Chen pressed forward, his heart filled with curiosity and a desire to explore this mysterious city.
As he reached the entrance of the Fifth Inner City, a Gu Master on guard suddenly stretched out his hand to block his path.
"Stop! May I ask if the adult has a token?" The Gu Master's voice was cold and authoritative.
Liu Chen stopped, looked at the Gu Master before him, and truthfully replied, "No."
The guarding Gu Master said expressionlessly, "Entering the Fifth Inner City requires a payment of one hundred primeval stones."
Liu Chen unhesitatingly pulled out a hundred primeval stones from his Pregnant and handed them to the guarding Gu Master.
The guarding Gu Master took the primeval stones, checked them, and after confirming they were correct, waved his hand, signaling Liu Chen could enter the Fifth Inner City.
Liu Chen stepped into the Fifth Inner City, secretly sighing at the multitude of rules in this city. However, he did not linger, but continued to walk deeper.
After passing through the Fifth Inner City, Liu Chen successively passed through two more inner city checkpoints, each requiring a certain number of primeval stones. In the end, he spent eight hundred primeval stones and finally arrived in the Third Inner City.
This was already considered a relatively Advanced area. The buildings along the streets were grander and more magnificent, and there were noticeably fewer pedestrians than in the previous areas.
