Looking at the three Immortal Gu before him, Flame Eye, Firelike, and Oil Flame Immortal Gu, Lin Yan began considering how their abilities could be combined to create a new Immortal killer move.
Most of the Immortal killer moves Lin Yan had created so far used Fire Control Immortal Gu and Three Flavour Otherworldly Flame Immortal Gu as their core. His other Immortal Gu were rarely used, and he had yet to develop any killer moves for Flame Eye Immortal Gu and Firelike Immortal Gu.
Without wasting any further time, Lin Yan entered seclusion and began deducing new killer moves while continuing to study the Endless Hate Wisdom Path inheritance.
The Wisdom Path had three fundamental aspects: thoughts, wills, and emotions. Each had its own characteristics and excelled in different areas.
Thoughts existed within the mind, constantly colliding and interacting to produce flashes of inspiration. This made them especially useful for deduction and exploring new possibilities.
There were many types of thoughts, each with its own unique properties. Malicious thoughts were particularly suited for plotting and scheming, while lingering thoughts could remain in the mind for long periods without easily fading.
Wills, on the other hand, could exist outside the body for extended periods. They were formed from thoughts and could act independently according to the purpose given to them.
Lin Yan often used his wills to form lifelike figures that managed various affairs and oversaw the development of the Flame Sovereign Blessed Land in his place.
Hate will was one such type. Its greatest strengths were relentless pursuit and the ability to break through obstacles. Once locked onto a target, it would pursue them without rest, breaking through obstructions and defensive methods along the way.
Emotions were another major aspect of Wisdom Path. Their methods focused on influencing the feelings of others, interfering with their judgment, and leading them into making decisions they normally would not. A skilled Wisdom Path Gu Master could use emotions to guide others into a trap without them ever realizing they had been manipulated.
Lin Yan soon gained a basic understanding of Wisdom Path. Using his Flame Path Grandmaster attainment and Quasi-Grandmaster Refinement Path attainment as a foundation, he began deducing a new investigative killer move with Flame Eye Immortal Gu as the core and Resonance Gu and Hate Gu as supplementary Gu worms.
Ten days later, the killer move finally took shape.
Lin Yan happily held Flame Eye Immortal Gu in his hand. It was a round, black Gu worm with a pupil pattern imprinted on its body. At the center of the pupil, a tiny flame quietly flickered.
He had finally developed a reliable investigative killer move, making up for one of his greatest weaknesses.
The killer move used Flame Eye Immortal Gu as its core, with large numbers of Hate Gu and Resonance Gu as the main supplementary Gu worms. It also incorporated hundreds of Gu worms from more than a dozen paths, including Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Rule, Information, Sound, Space, Wisdom, Star, Soul, and Formation Path.
Immortal Killer Move: Flame Sight!
As its name suggested, it allowed Lin Yan to investigate the dao marks of other paths as easily as Flame Eye Immortal Gu could detect Flame Path dao marks.
By using Resonance Gu to expand the range of dao marks Flame Eye Immortal Gu could detect and Hate Gu to strengthen its ability to pursue targets, Lin Yan had transformed a highly specialized Immortal Gu into the core of a comprehensive investigative killer move.
The ability to directly observe dao marks was already a profound investigative method. Now that Flame Sight could detect the dao marks of almost all major paths, it had become an extremely comprehensive investigative killer move.
Lin Yan was quite satisfied with the result. With his current attainment, constructing a killer move around a single Rank 6 Immortal Gu was no longer particularly difficult. The real challenge lay in creating composite killer moves involving multiple Immortal Gu and deducing Immortal Gu recipes.
After completing Flame Sight, Lin Yan immediately turned his attention to Oil Flame Immortal Gu, which had remained unused for a long time. He already had a rough idea of how to develop a killer move around it.
However, the killer move he envisioned was far more complex and would require considerable time to deduce. With his first Earth Calamity only a few days away, Lin Yan had no choice but to set it aside for now.
He calmed his mind and began preparing for the upcoming tribulation.
His first priority was Dream Derivation Gu, which was currently undergoing its transformation into an Immortal Gu within the Flame Sovereign Blessed Land. Lin Yan moved it outside the blessed land and heavily sealed it with Self Dream Gu, ensuring that the Earth Calamity would not interfere with its transformation.
After securing Dream Derivation Gu, Lin Yan spent the next several days making the remaining preparations. He inspected his Immortal Gu, replenished his immortal essence, and made the necessary arrangements throughout the blessed land.
Several days later, Lin Yan was sitting at the heart of the blessed land when he suddenly sensed something.
An unprecedented pressure descended upon the Flame Sovereign Blessed Land.
For a time, all sounds disappeared. Countless mortal creatures lowered themselves to the ground, trembling beneath the pressure of heaven and earth. Even the White Yang Elephants, Flame Wolves, and Blazing Lions huddled together in fear, while the Huang Family Gu Masters gathered inside the city and nervously prepared for the approaching calamity.
