Chapter 157: Returning To Clan
Chapter 157: Returning To Clan
Not far away, Sun Cu had been quietly waiting. The moment he noticed Lin Yan awakened, his eyes immediately lit up.
"How did it go?" he asked. "How many Immortal Gu did you manage to refine?"
He understood Lin Yan’s situation better than anyone. Achieving Immortal Ascension with one of the Ten Extreme Physiques was already astonishing. On top of that, Lin Yan had refined an Immortal Gu before ascending and then used the remaining Heaven and Earth Qi to continue refining more.
Even by the most conservative estimate, Lin Yan should possess at least three or four Immortal Gu by now.
More importantly, Lin Yan cultivated the Flame Path, a path renowned for its overwhelming offensive power. Once supported by multiple Immortal Gu, his battle strength would become even more terrifying.
Thinking of this, Sun Cu became increasingly convinced that forming an alliance with Lin Yan had been the right choice.
Then another thought suddenly occurred to him.
Having enough Heaven and Earth Qi to refine multiple Immortal Gu was one thing, but did Lin Yan even possess that many Immortal Gu recipes?
Sun Cu knew all too well how precious such things were. Complete Immortal Gu recipes were often worth a fortune in Treasure Yellow Heaven, and many Gu Immortals spent years searching for even a single suitable recipe.
The more Sun Cu thought about it, the more uncertain he became.
Seeing that Lin Yan had no intention of elaborating, Sun Cu could only suppress his curiosity.
Meanwhile, Lin Yan’s attention had already shifted elsewhere as he checked how much time had passed.
Although it had felt as though he had spent a long time within Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, only a day and a night had passed in the outside world. During that time, forty days had flowed inside the blessed land. Relying on its terrifying time flow ratio, he had already condensed six additional beads of green grape immortal essence.
Lin Yan then asked Sun Cu for a set of Connecting Heaven Gu, Divine Sense Gu, and Hole Earth Gu. As a newly advanced Gu Immortal, these Gu worms were indispensable for conducting transactions in Treasure Yellow Heaven.
At the same time, he made plans to return to the Huang Family. The future development of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land would require large amounts of resources and manpower, making the family’s support indispensable.
Sun Cu naturally understood this. As a newly advanced Gu Immortal, Lin Yan would soon face countless expenses. Sun Cu himself had spent an entire month familiarizing himself with his newfound strength and managing his blessed land after his ascension.
With a chuckle, he said, "If you ever find yourself short on immortal essence stones, feel free to borrow some from me."
Lin Yan smiled and nodded. After exchanging a few final words, the two parted ways.
Soon afterward, Lin Yan rose into the sky and transformed into a streak of light, flying toward the Huang Family. As he crossed the vast desert, a trace of emotion surfaced in his heart. Without realizing it, Four years already had passed since he left Sandwell Oasis. Back then, he had been nothing more than a Gu Master. Now, he is returning as a Rank 6 Gu Immortal.
Before long, the familiar oasis appeared on the horizon.
Nestled amidst the endless desert, Sandwell Oasis remained as prosperous as ever.
The next moment, he arrived above the oasis. His divine sense swept outward, instantly covering the entire Sandwell Oasis. Countless buildings, Gu Masters, mortals, and resource points entered his perception.
Nothing within the oasis could escape his notice. At the same time, the aura of a Gu Immortal naturally leaked out from his body. A vast pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the entire oasis. Countless people below felt their hearts tremble as they instinctively looked upward.
The Huang Family Gu Masters stationed around the three lakes were all startled. They looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with shock as they stared at the figure standing above Sandwell Oasis.
"This aura..."
"Don’t tell me it’s a Gu Immortal!"
Voices filled with disbelief rang out throughout Sandwell Oasis.
Whether they were ordinary Gu Masters, clan elders, or Rank 4 experts, all stared toward the sky in shock. Before that vast immortal aura, they instinctively felt insignificant, as though the figure standing above Sandwell Oasis had become the center of heaven and earth.
The mortals below were affected even more. Many dropped to their knees and kowtowed repeatedly, while others looked on with awe and reverence, treating the appearance of an immortal as a divine miracle.
A Gu Immortal had already surpassed the mortal level. Their bodies were engraved with dao marks, and every movement naturally carried traces of the Great Dao.
Huang Family Clan Leader Huang Ming was both nervous and apprehensive. He quickly led several Family Elders into the air and respectfully cupped his hands toward the figure above. "May I ask which Senior has honored our Huang Family with your presence? If you have any instructions, this junior will do everything in his power to assist."
Faced with a Gu Immortal, even a Rank 5 expert like Huang Ming did not dare show the slightest disrespect.
However, the figure in the sky merely smiled faintly and said, "Clan Leader Huang, do you not recognize me?"
The moment those words entered their ears, Huang Ming and the surrounding elders froze. The voice sounded strangely familiar. They subconsciously raised their heads and looked carefully toward the figure standing in the sky. Previously, their attention had been completely drawn to the terrifying immortal aura. Only now did they notice the man’s appearance.
Their eyes widened, and their bodies trembled.
