Reverend Insanity: Dream Gu

Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, Li Fire Plains.

At the northern end of the plains, prosperous cities stood one after another, encircling the three Fire Ember Lakes. Behind them stretched an endless forest of fire jujube trees. More than a dozen majestic cities were home to hundreds of thousands of humans.

Hundreds of Gu Masters hovered high in the sky, each radiating the aura of a Rank Four and Rank Five expert. In their hands rested an exquisite Dream Path Gu worm. Its translucent carapace faintly outlined a human face. It was Self Dream Gu.

The old Gu Master leading them transmitted in a solemn voice,

”The Supreme Elder’s Heavenly Tribulation is about to descend. Everyone, prepare the Gu formation and protect our clansmen.”

At his command, the Gu Masters moved in perfect unison. They activated the Self Dream Gu in their hands and cast them into the sky.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Gu Masters below raised their own Dream Path Gu worms. Countless streams of brilliant light soared into the air, intertwining until they formed a vast, colorful river of dreams stretching across the sky.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Brilliant light erupted as layers of translucent ripples spread across Flame Sovereign Blessed Land. They swept over the million-strong Hairy Men member city in the south, covered the million Red Egg People living among the Molten Flame Mountains, and finally enveloped the entire blessed land.

Watching from high above, Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction. During the more than eighty years that had passed within the blessed land, the Huang Family, the Hairy Men, and the Red Egg People had all flourished. After three or four generations of growth, each race had reached a population of nearly one million, bringing the total to around three million.

Among them, the Huang Family remained Lin Yan’s greatest focus.

Out of their one million clansmen, nearly one hundred thousand had become Gu Masters, an astonishing proportion by any standard. Years of cultivation within the Dream Realm had raised their combat strength far beyond that of Gu Masters in the outside world.

Among them were six to seven hundred Rank Four and Rank Five Gu Masters, most of whom had already reached Master attainment in at least one path.

The strongest few dozen stood out even further. Each had attained Master attainment in multiple paths, making them genuine seeds for Gu Immortal ascension. They were also the first members of the Huang Family to enter Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, making them the true seniors of the clan.

From the very beginning, Lin Yan had never intended for everyone to cultivate the Flame Path. Under his deliberate guidance, the clansmen cultivated a wide variety of paths, including Lightning Path, Wind Path, Earth Path, Space Path, and many others. To support their growth, he had spent enormous sums acquiring inheritances and Gu worm recipes, ensuring every path had a complete cultivation foundation.

Furthermore, Lin Yan had painstakingly also created the Dream Path killer move Dream Storage. Its sole purpose was to preserve the Dream Realms left behind by these Gu Masters after their deaths.

Creating it had been no easy task. It involved Dream Path, Human Path, Soul Path, and even Heaven Path. Lin Yan had spent decades researching it within the Dream Realm. The difficulty was no less than deducing an entirely new Dream Path Immortal Gu recipe.

By now, three of the earliest Huang Family seniors had already reached the end of their lifespans. After their deaths, Dream Storage successfully preserved the Dream Realms they left behind: two Flame Path Dream Realms and one Lightning Path Dream Realm.

Lin Yan had personally explored all three. As a result, his Flame Path attainment advanced another step within the Grandmaster Realm, while his Lightning Path attainment finally broke through Master Realm.

Even so, none of these seniors had much hope of becoming Gu Immortals.

It was not because they lacked talent. On the contrary, every one of them possessed attainment in multiple paths. Among mortal Gu Masters, they already stood at the very peak and were genuine seeds for Gu Immortal ascension.

Their greatest weakness was the same one Lin Yan had once faced.

Having spent almost their entire lives cultivating within Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, they had rarely experienced the dangers, hardships, and life-and-death struggles of the outside world. Like most Gu Masters raised inside blessed lands and grotto-heavens, they had grown up in a sheltered environment. Their foundations were solid, but their tempering was far from enough to face Immortal Ascension.

For that reason, Lin Yan had deliberately suppressed their cultivation, preventing them from attempting the breakthrough. If they underwent Immortal Ascension now, almost all of them would perish. Even if fortune favored them, at most two or three would survive. Such losses were unacceptable.

His plan was to wait until he possessed reliable methods to deal with tribulations before helping them ascend. By then, the Huang Family would gain more than a dozen Gu Immortals in one stroke, laying the foundation for a true super force.

But there was only one problem. Would these old Gu Masters live long enough to see that day?
