Lin Yan thought for a while. After completely digesting the gains from his Wisdom Path Grandmaster attainment, his figure flickered and appeared outside Green Ghost Desert.
He intended to activate Immortal Killer Move Autumn Before Winter and accelerate the flow of time within his immortal aperture. Before doing so, however, Lin Yan transferred several people close to him from Flame Sovereign Blessed Land into Startling Divinity Blessed Land, including the family head Huang Ming, his uncle Shan Shayuan, and the housekeeper Aunt Liu. Two hundred years were about to pass inside the Flame Sovereign Blessed Land. For Gu Immortals, such a period was nothing extraordinary, but for mortals and low-rank Gu Masters, it was enough for several generations to be born, grow old, and die.
After making the necessary arrangements, Lin Yan settled Flame Sovereign Blessed Land within his aperture and activated Autumn Before Winter Killer Move. Scorching Heat Immortal Gu slowly rose above the blessed land like a blazing sun, while enormous quantities of the Time Path immortal material Year Water, which Lin Yan had accumulated beforehand, rapidly dissolved under the killer move.
The effect appeared immediately. The flow of time within Flame Sovereign Blessed Land accelerated tremendously. The light filling the sky brightened and faded in rapid cycles as day after day passed in moments. Plants sprouted, matured, withered, and were replaced by fresh growth, while humans and variant humans continued living their lives. From Lin Yan's perspective, everything moved so quickly that no individual figure could be distinguished.
Every activation of Autumn Before Winter Immortal Killer Move consumed one bead of green grape immortal essence and advanced Flame Sovereign Blessed Land by one year. After every ten years came an Earth Calamity, while every hundred years brought a Heavenly Tribulation. Lin Yan had no intention of allowing these tribulations to pass normally. Whenever one arrived, he activated Immortal killer move Body Forged in Flame, deliberately increasing its strength so that the immortal aperture could obtain more dao marks afterward.
Rumble!
At regular intervals, enormous amounts of heaven and earth qi gathered around Lin Yan outside Green Ghost Desert as another tribulation descended. The disturbance spread across the surrounding region, frightening nearby soul beasts into retreat. Once the tribulation ended, Autumn Before Winter continued pushing time forward. Green grape immortal essence was constantly consumed, but Flame Sovereign Blessed Land was also producing immortal essence at an astonishing rate as centuries passed within it.
Lin Yan did more than simply endure one tribulation after another. Every calamity was a direct manifestation of Heaven's Will influencing heaven and earth qi, transforming them into countless different phenomena. With Wisdom Path Grandmaster attainment, Lin Yan carefully observed these changes and calculated how they affected his immortal aperture. Whenever possible, he guided the destruction toward suitable regions, used the aftermath to reshape the terrain, and incorporated useful changes into existing ecosystems. Some tribulations destroyed resource points, while others created conditions from which entirely new resource points could be developed.
After experiencing this process repeatedly, Lin Yan's understanding of Heaven Path steadily accumulated. Heaven and humans opposed one another, yet this opposition did not mean that everything created by heaven had to be rejected. Tribulations brought destruction, but they also brought dao marks and transformed the environment of an immortal aperture. What mattered was whether the Gu Immortal could endure that destruction and turn the resulting changes to his own advantage.
Lin Yan had already accumulated considerable Heaven Path understanding before this. After personally experiencing and studying dozens of consecutive calamities and tribulations, the final barrier finally gave way. His Heaven Path attainment advanced to quasi-Master, reaching the same level as his Human Path attainment.
His cultivation advanced alongside the blessed land. During these accelerated years, Lin Yan endured another eighteen Earth Calamities and his second Heavenly Tribulation. By the time he stopped Autumn Before Winter, he had passed a total of twenty-seven Earthly Calamities and two Heavenly Tribulations, bringing him to peak Rank Six. Only one final Heavenly Tribulation stood between him and Rank Seven.
Lin Yan intentionally stopped at this point. Several opportunities he intended to obtain still required him to travel between regions. At peak Rank Six, crossing the regional walls remained manageable. Once he became Rank Seven and possessed even more dao marks, the suppression and difficulty he faced while crossing them would increase considerably. There was little reason to create that inconvenience before collecting the Opportunities he already had in mind.
Two hundred years had passed within Flame Sovereign Blessed Land. The four major regions had undergone enormous changes during that period, while Lin Yan's accumulated gains had reached a completely different realm from before.
The most direct increase was his green grape immortal essence. Flame Sovereign Blessed Land had originally produced around four hundred beads every year. As successive tribulations strengthened the blessed land origin and its development continued to improve, annual production slowly climbed until it approached Seven hundred green grape immortal essence beads. Although the Autumn Before Winter Killer move, the tribulations, his formations, and the development of the blessed land had consumed enormous quantities during these two centuries, Lin Yan still accumulated roughly fifty thousand new beads. Together with the more than ten thousand beads he already possessed, his current reserve exceeded sixty thousand beads of green grape immortal essence.
The growth of his dao marks was even more astonishing. His Ten Extreme Physique and super-grade immortal aperture already caused his calamities and tribulations to be much stronger than those faced by ordinary Gu Immortals, allowing him to gain far more dao marks from surviving them. Body Forged in Flame pushed this advantage even further by strengthening every calamity and tribulation that descended upon him.
After twenty-seven Earth Calamities and two Heavenly Tribulations, Lin Yan had gained roughly forty thousand additional dao marks. Together with the more than forty thousand he already possessed, his total had surpassed eighty thousand—a number normally seen only among Rank Eight Gu Immortals.
Flame Sovereign Blessed Land had expanded as well, but the increase was not particularly large. Its territory now covered nearly twenty-two thousand square kilometres. The additional space eased much of the pressure caused by the Raging Fire Formation, Sunflame Valley, Divine Firmament Thunder Pool, Endless Fire Domain, Great Dream Immortal Realm, and the many other immortal resource points, but it could not solve the problem completely.
Lin Yan was still a Rank Six Gu Immortal. Only after he advanced to Rank Seven would his immortal aperture undergo a qualitative transformation. At that time, the immortal aperture would expand greatly and become capable of sustaining far more powerful resource points.
Yet these were only the most obvious gains.
The greatest changes brought by those two hundred years had taken place throughout Flame Sovereign Blessed Land itself.
