Reverend Insanity: Dream Gu

With the addition of these two Rank Seven Immortal resource points, Flame Sovereign Blessed Land’s foundation rose to an entirely new level.

Although both resource points had only just reached the small-scale stage, each already generated one to two thousand immortal essence stones every year. Together, they contributed nearly three thousand immortal essence stones to the blessed land’s annual income.

More importantly, this was only the beginning. As the Thunder Pool and Sunflame Valley continued to mature, their production would increase accordingly. In the future, each could generate tens of thousands, hundreds of thousand immortal essence stones every year.

Their greatest value, however, did not lie in their income. Instead, they could temporarily replace certain Rank Seven Flame Path and Thunder Path Immortal Gu when deducing or activating specific immortal killer moves, greatly reducing both the difficulty and the cost of using those killer moves.

Afterward, Lin Yan spread his divine sense across Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, carefully inspecting the losses caused by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Although this was only his first Heavenly Tribulation, his foundation had already reached an extraordinary level. The tribulation had been suppressed before it could inflict serious damage.

Among the hundreds of mortal resource points, beast groups, and forests scattered throughout the blessed land, most suffered losses of only twenty to thirty percent. Only two or three beast species had been completely wiped out.

Lin Yan had long grown accustomed to such losses. The extinction of species was itself part of the Heaven Path cycle. During the previous nine Earth Calamities, several species that produced Gu materials required for his killer moves had disappeared in exactly the same manner. Fortunately, Heaven’s Will never brought only destruction. Every Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity also reshaped the blessed land. While old species vanished, new ones naturally emerged to take their place. Many possessed entirely different characteristics, and some were even more valuable than the species they replaced.

Lin Yan merely glanced over the newly born plants and beasts before withdrawing his attention. There was no need for him to investigate them personally. Every year, an investigation team composed of Hairy Men, Red Eggmen, and Huang Family Gu Masters traveled throughout every corner of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, recording newly emerged species, studying the uses of their various parts, and determining whether they could be refined into new Gu worms or developed into immortal materials. After years of continuous research, they had already produced many unexpected discoveries.

One such example was the Myriad Mountain Red Silk Molten Seed Tea Garden, which appeared along the western edge of the Li Fire Plains after the sixth Earth Calamity. Using its tea leaves as the primary material, they successfully refined a new Food Path Gu worm, Molten Tea Gu. It later replaced Fire-burning Wine Gu as the auxiliary Gu in the Raging Fire killer move, greatly increasing its effectiveness. Interestingly, Molten Tea Gu was not deduced by Lin Yan himself. Twenty years ago, after he issued the task, a Huang Family Gu Master within the blessed land independently completed both its deduction and refinement.

Over the past two years, the contributions of the Huang Family Gu Masters, Hairy Men, and Red Eggmen had become increasingly significant, largely because of Dream Derivation Immortal Gu. Through its Dream Realms, they could repeatedly test Gu recipes, killer moves, and countless ideas without consuming real resources, allowing them to accumulate experience at an astonishing speed. Even Lin Yan had underestimated the true potential of Dream Derivation Immortal Gu.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind. ”Perhaps it’s time for another Blessed Land Grand Survey. After so many years, countless new species have appeared, and the Gu Masters within the blessed land have undoubtedly created many new mortal Gu. Even if most are of little use, it only takes one or two exceptional Gu worms to become the missing piece for a new killer move, Gu formation, or even an Immortal Gu House.”

With that thought, Lin Yan shifted his attention to the changes among the immortal materials.

As expected, his first Heavenly Tribulation brought tremendous rewards. Five and six new Immortal Rank resource points were born throughout Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, including Heavenly Thunder Cloud Yang Fire, Thunder Immortal Earth, and Crimson Thunder Waterfall. The tribulation had even left behind several permanent natural wonders. Above the Thunderous Plains, crimson lightning waterfalls descended from the heavens like rivers of stars, continuously flowing into the central Thunder Pool. Meanwhile, within the Molten Flame Mountains, twelve purple thunder volcanoes erupted without end, their lava mixed with heavenly lightning as it poured into the Sunflame Valley.

Seeing this, Lin Yan’s mood improved considerably. Including the Thunder Pool and Sunflame Valley, Flame Sovereign Blessed Land now possessed nearly sixty Immortal Rank resource points. Its annual income had approached ten thousand immortal essence stones, while its yearly production of green grape immortal essence had risen to four hundred twenty beads. Once Raging Fire and Blazing Prosperity were activated, the blessed land’s productivity would increase even further.
