Reverend Insanity: Dream Gu

Chapter 142: Preparation For Immortal Ascension

"You... really refined an Immortal Gu?"

Lin Yan held the Three Flavors Otherworldly Flame Immortal Gu in his palm. At the same time, he quietly kept his will within Dream Derivation Gu, remaining alert in case Sun Cu made a move.

Now that he possessed one of the Ten Extreme Physiques, he no longer feared facing a Gu Immortal directly.

A faint smile also appeared on Lin Yan’s face "Seems I succeeded."

Sun Cu’s expression changed several times before gradually settling. In the end, a rare look of admiration appeared in his eyes as he said, "Unprecedented... truly unprecedented. A Mortal refining an Immortal Gu."

For a moment, regret rose in his heart. He regretted repeatedly delaying his promise to refine an Immortal Gu for Lin Yan. Because of that hesitation, a crack had already formed between them. If Lin Yan truly rose in the future, Sun Cu feared he would no longer be able to benefit from him.

There was another reason as well. Immortal Gu were notoriously difficult to refine. Now, a Refinement Path quasi Grandmaster stood before him. If Lin Yan were willing to assist in Gu refinement in the future, the chances of success would rise dramatically.

Even so, Sun Cu had no intention of reducing Lin Yan’s debt. Only after becoming a Gu Immortal had he truly understood how poor immortals could be, and how difficult cultivation became after that step. Every resource was precious. He could not bear to give any away.

Lin Yan smiled faintly when he heard this and did not bother with empty words. Over these past days, he had already seen Sun Cu clearly. The man would fight fiercely over small gains, yet hesitate again and again when faced with something truly important.

Lin Yan met Sun Cu’s gaze and said with a faint smile, "In three days, I will attempt Immortal Ascension."

Sun Cu’s spirits lifted at once. His eyes carried both envy and emotion as he said, "Your Immortal Ascension will most likely form a large-grade blessed land. You may even be able to use the remaining Heaven and Earth Qi to refine another Immortal Gu. With the Three Flavors Otherworldly Flame Immortal Gu already in your possession, the moment you ascend, you’ll hold two Immortal Gu. By then, your battle strength will likely reach the peak of Rank 6."

Lin Yan laughed. "I’ll still need Brother Sun’s support in the future."

Sun Cu could see the exhaustion on Lin Yan’s face. so he didn’t disturb him further After saying a few words, he took his leave and departed from the Molten Flame Cave.

Only then did Lin Yan finally have time to inspect his own condition. Looking inward at his aperture, he saw the peak-stage purple primeval essence sea surging endlessly against the aperture walls. Cracks had already spread across the aperture membrane, as though it could shatter at any moment.

At the very center floated the Three Flavors Otherworldly Flame Immortal Gu. It burned like a blazing sun, releasing a vast aura that filled the aperture like heavenly flames pouring downward. A deep and mysterious aura spread from the Immortal Gu itself, placing even greater pressure on the aperture.

"The drawback of the Ten Extreme Physique..."

Lin Yan smiled bitterly. He sat down cross-legged and adjusted his breathing, slowly recovering his condition. Only after his essence, mind, and body had all returned to their peak did he begin testing the abilities of the Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance Physique.

As he felt the rise in his battle strength, he roughly estimated the number of Dao marks within his body.

"Close to four hundred Dao marks..."

A trace of surprise flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes. "Terrifying. This should be because of the Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit."

Lin Yan’s expression was complicated. Strange phenomena had already appeared when he condensed the Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance Physique. Now, combined with the changes brought by the Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit, it made him think even deeper.

Soon, he discovered a special trait of the Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance Physique. Flame Path and Lightning Path could exist together in his body without conflict. The two did not repel each other. Instead, they merged as one. Flame Path dao marks could be used as Lightning Path dao marks, and Lightning Path dao marks could also be used as Flame Path dao marks.

This meant that whenever Lin Yan used both Flame Path and Lightning Path Gu at the same time, all four hundred dao marks within his body would amplify both together.

Even Lin Yan was shocked by this result. The benefits were simply too great. First, he could cultivate both Flame Path and Lightning Path at the same time without worrying about dao mark conflict.

Second, the ways he could increase dao marks became much broader.

Taking attack as an example, both Flame Path and Lightning Path were famous for powerful offense. Flame Path excelled in large-scale destruction and continuous burning, while Lightning Path excelled in explosive penetration and single-target killing.

Movement was similar. Flame Path was better at sudden bursts, while Lightning Path was better at speed and quick travel.

After that, Lin Yan continued testing the limits of the Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance Physique while becoming familiar with every change in his body. At the same time, he began replacing his vital Gu.
