Lin Yan immediately recognized it. "Lifespan Gu! And it's a thirty-year Lifespan Gu."
Lin Yan reached out, took the Lifespan Gu, and refined it immediately. Looking at the newly refined Gu, his expression became somewhat complicated. Despite everything that had happened inside Flame Sovereign Blessed Land over the years, not a single Lifespan Gu had ever appeared naturally.
After every tribulation, Lin Yan immediately activated Self Dream to cleanse the Heaven's Will that had entered his immortal aperture. Startling Divinity Blessed Land was different. It had existed for a very long time, and Heaven's Will had accumulated within it through countless years of natural development. Over the past few days, Lin Yan had also undergone numerous Earth Calamities and Heavenly Tribulations, allowing even more Heaven's Will to enter the blessed land. Under such circumstances, the appearance of a Lifespan Gu was not particularly surprising.
Lin Yan immediately used the thirty-year Lifespan Gu. Thirty years was not much for a Gu Immortal, but Lifespan Gu was something no Gu Immortal would consider excessive. Every additional year of lifespan was valuable, especially when no other method could truly replace its effect.
Startling Divinity Blessed Land itself had also accumulated several Lifespan Gu during its long existence. After taking control of the blessed land, Lin Yan had found them among the resources left behind by Zheng Jingshen. He had little need to use all of them himself, so he distributed most among Shan Shayuan and the other Gu Immortal seeds, especially those whose remaining lifespans were relatively short. He kept only a fifty-year Lifespan Gu in reserve.
Lin Yan then examined the cultivation of these Gu Immortal seeds. Their foundations had already reached the required level, and there was little reason to delay their ascension any further.
"Not bad. It's about time these dozens of Gu Immortal seeds underwent Immortal Ascension."
Their foundations had already reached the limits of what mortals could achieve, and keeping them at Rank Five any longer would bring little benefit. Lin Yan placed everyone inside his immortal aperture and left Startling Divinity Blessed Land.
His next destination had already been decided. The Mo Family had spent the past several days pursuing him through Green Ghost Desert, even inviting several Wisdom Path Gu Immortals to repeatedly deduce his location. Now that their pursuit had failed, they suddenly wanted to negotiate and put an end to the conflict. Lin Yan had never agreed to that.
After entering the Mo Family's territory, Lin Yan did not approach the Mo Family's main stronghold. Instead, he changed direction and soon arrived above an enormous golden mountain.
A crystal-clear golden spring continuously poured from its summit, flowing down the mountainside before gathering into a long river resembling liquid amber. Dense Flame Path dao marks filled the region, while the rich heat and vitality of the spring had shaped the surrounding environment over countless years.
Golden-red elk with flames burning beneath their hooves roamed the slopes, brilliant red-bellied pheasants gathered along the riverbanks, while several enormous golden flood dragons rested beneath the golden river. Hundreds of thousands of beasts inhabited the mountain and surrounding land, including seven or eight Desolate Beasts, while countless wild Gu lived throughout the forests, caves, and river.
This was Flame Spring Cave, one of the Mo Family's giant resource points. Its most valuable resource was Bright Immortal Spring, a Rank Seven immortal material. Over many years, the spring had gradually transformed the surrounding environment, influencing nearly every beast and plant that lived there.
Flame Spring Cave naturally possessed defensive measures, but the formation protecting it was only a large mortal Gu formation. The Mo Family did not possess enough Formation Path methods or Immortal Gu to protect every important resource point with an immortal formation. Such treatment was reserved for their dozen or so super resource points. For a giant resource point like Flame Spring Cave, a large mortal formation together with a resident Rank Six Gu Immortal would normally have been enough.
Lin Yan stopped high above the mountain and raised one hand.
Immortal Killer Move : Mystic Sun Myriad Flames Great Handprint!
Crimson clouds rapidly spread across the sky before gathering into an enormous hand. Its shadow covered Flame Spring Cave as a tremendous Flame Path aura descended upon the entire region, immediately triggering the defensive formation.
"Who dares invade my Mo Family's territory?!"
The Rank Six Gu Immortal stationed here rushed into the sky. His anger lasted only until he saw the enormous crimson hand descending from above. He immediately poured immortal essence into his Gu worms, and a brilliant golden pillar of fire erupted toward the approaching hand.
Boom!
The golden pillar collided head-on with Mystic Sun Myriad Flames Great Handprint, but the difference in strength was overwhelming. It shattered beneath the descending hand, scattering golden flames across the sky. The Mo Family Gu Immortal was struck immediately afterward and sent crashing into the mountain before he could escape.
Lin Yan did not bother killing him. Mystic Sun Myriad Flames Great Handprint spread its five fingers around Flame Spring Cave and firmly grasped the entire resource point. Tremendous force tore through the base of the mountain, splitting the surrounding earth apart. Rocks collapsed, the golden river overflowed its banks, and enormous cracks spread across the land as the entire mountain began rising from the ground.
The Mo Family Gu Immortal could only watch as Flame Spring Cave was uprooted before his eyes.
Lin Yan had no intention of destroying such a valuable resource point. Bright Immortal Spring, two Desolate Beasts, countless wild Gu, immortal materials, and the complete ecosystem surrounding them were all wealth. The Mo Family had spent generations developing Flame Spring Cave, saving Lin Yan the trouble of building such a resource point himself.
Since he had already entered Mo Family territory, taking only one giant resource point would be a waste of the opportunity. The Mo Family's Gu Immortals could not determine his location, while their territories and resource points could not move or hide. There was no reason for Lin Yan to fight their Immortal Gu House directly when he could simply move from one resource point to another and empty everything valuable along the way.
