Chapter 249: Startling Divinity Blessed Land

Immortal killer move—Obdurate Formation!

This was one of the Killer Move Zhen Yuanzi had specifically developed to deal with land spirits and heavenly spirits. With Maze Formation Immortal Gu and Soul Bind Immortal Gu as its cores, Obdurate Formation combined Formation Path and Soul Path to interfere with the special existence of a land spirit. Land spirits did not possess ordinary souls. They were formed from the lingering obsession of a deceased Gu Immortal combined with the power of the blessed land itself, making ordinary Soul Path methods largely ineffective against them. Zhen Yuanzi had spent years studying this problem and eventually found a way to use the grand formation as a bridge, allowing Soul Bind Immortal Gu to affect something it normally could not touch. Obdurate Formation was therefore a genuine high level Rank Seven killer move and far more suitable for Lin Yan’s current purpose than simply attacking the land spirit.

The Startling Divinity land spirit froze beneath the hazy blue light. Its proud expression vanished as the killer move rapidly interfered with the obsession governing its actions. Several breaths later, clarity returned to its eyes, but its attitude had completely changed. It looked at Lin Yan with undisguised joy and exclaimed, "Wonderful! You’ve passed all three trials! From now on, you are my master!"

Lin Yan smiled. After spending more than ten days being pursued across the Green Ghost Desert, he had no interest in slowly completing three trials when Zhen Yuanzi had already provided him with a way around them. What he needed now was Zheng Jingshen’s Wisdom Path, true inheritance and Immortal Gu. Once those were in his hands, he could use the blessed land to search for Zheng Jingshen’s Dream Realm, raise his Wisdom Path attainment, and finally create a proper method to defend himself against the deductions that had followed him across the desert.

Lin Yan gazed across Startling Divinity Blessed Land and was filled with emotion. After transmigrating into the Gu World for so many years, he had finally obtained a second blessed land. This blessed land could serve as another base, allowing him to cultivate Wisdom Path Gu materials and Gu worms without interfering with the Flame Path ecosystem of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land. More importantly, it contained nearly fifty thousand Wisdom Path dao marks. Such an accumulation was outstanding even among Rank Seven Gu Immortal. Zheng Jingshen had undoubtedly possessed an extraordinary foundation while alive, and the calamities and tribulations endured by the blessed land after his death had added even more dao marks over the passing years.

The benefits appeared immediately. Wisdom Path dao marks naturally strengthened Wisdom Path killer moves while suppressing hostile deductions, and the boundary of the blessed land provided another layer of isolation from the outside world. The moment Lin Yan entered, the pressure bearing down on Thunderous Battle King weakened sharply. Calculation Immortal Gu no longer trembled on the verge of collapse, though occasional sparks still crackled across its deep-blue surface.

"The difference between the Mo Family’s previous deductions and this one is enormous. They must have invited someone formidable this time. Still, as long as I remain here, finding me won’t be so easy."

Lin Yan observed Calculation Immortal Gu for several breaths before finally relaxing. He turned toward the Startling Divinity land spirit. "Take me to the Blessed Land True Inheritance."

The land spirit led him toward the center of the blessed land, where an ordinary thatched hut stood within a simple dirt courtyard. Nothing about it resembled the inheritance ground of a Rank Seven Gu Immortal. Beside the hut rested a large water vat, no different from those commonly found in mortal villages. Lin Yan casually looked inside, only for his eyes to brighten.

The vat was filled with a rich crimson liquid resembling molten jade, within which crystalline beads the size of red dates floated quietly. Red date immortal essence! There were several hundred beads, an enormous reserve for Lin Yan at present. One bead of Rank Seven red date immortal essence was equivalent to one hundred beads of green grape immortal essence. More importantly, it could operate Rank Seven Immortal Gu and formations without the severe inefficiency Lin Yan currently suffered. The Soul Devouring Demon Subduing Formation alone would become much easier to sustain with these reserves.

Considering that Startling Divinity Blessed Land had survived for tens of thousands of years after Zheng Jingshen’s death and must have repeatedly consumed immortal essence to resist calamities and maintain his arrangements, the amount remaining was already remarkable. Unlike a living Gu Immortal’s immortal aperture, a blessed land whose owner had died could no longer produce immortal essence on its own. Every bead consumed could never be replenished.

Lin Yan resisted the urge to collect the red date immortal essence and entered the thatched hut. Two Wisdom Path Immortal Gu floated silently within a strange multicolored mist. The mist concealed their auras and kept them dormant, reducing the resources needed to preserve them across such an immense span of time. When Lin Yan crossed the threshold, the mist began to dissolve. The two Immortal Gu awakened from their long slumber, while the contents of the true inheritance entered his mind.

After examining what Zheng Jingshen had left behind, Lin Yan discovered that his earlier understanding had been wrong. Zheng Jingshen had not created the Startling Divinity True Inheritance—he had inherited it.
