"If the Heavenly Revelation True Inheritance remains intact, resisting Wisdom Path deductions will be the least of my gains."
A faint smile appeared on Lin Yan's face. He wanted more than Zheng Jingshen's killer moves and Immortal Gu recipes. If the immortal aperture had survived and its land spirit remained, he could obtain an object closely connected to Zheng Jingshen. With that as a link, Dream Seeking could locate the Dream Realm left behind by the deceased Gu Immortal.
A peak Rank Seven Wisdom Path Gu Immortal's Dream Realm was precisely what Lin Yan needed. Better still, if he obtained the genuine inheritance, Suan Bu Jin would no longer have to remain an identity fabricated by Fang Yuan.
Lin Yan could claim it first. Fang Yuan had merely borrowed Zheng Jingshen's name and invented everything else. Lin Yan would possess the man's true inheritance. If he approached the Fang Family as Suan Bu Jin and displayed Zheng Jingshen's genuine methods, they would have little reason to doubt that he was the rightful successor.
That identity could grant him access to opportunities far greater than an ordinary Rank Seven inheritance. The Fang Family had once killed an otherworldly demon and seized a Thieving Heaven True Inheritance, along with the damaged Rank Eight Immortal Gu House Thieves Den. Lin Yan had long coveted both, especially now that he possessed another Thieving Heaven True Inheritance. If the two inheritances complemented each other, the benefits would be immense.
There was also Divine Bean Palace—and the Hatred Immortal Gu hidden within it.
Lin Yan quickly restrained his thoughts. Those opportunities would remain there for the time being. The Mo Family was still pursuing him, and provoking another Western Desert super force before resolving the current danger would be foolish. Nevertheless, the Fang Family could still prove useful much sooner than he had expected.
"The Fang Family..." Lin Yan's eyes narrowed. "If the Mo Family insists on hunting me, why should I face them alone?"
The Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion abruptly accelerated. Its colossal black wings swept through the sky as it plunged farther into the Green Ghost Desert, scattering soul beasts and sending the dense soul fog below surging like turbulent waves.
At the same moment, an oppressive presence entered the desert behind him. Lin Yan did not need to turn around. The steadily mounting pressure told him everything he needed to know.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Shortly before the Mo Family arrived, Lin Yan recalled the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion into the Formation Flag and continued alone with Flame Escape, intentionally leaving an obvious trail behind him.
Moments after he departed, a magnificent fortress tore through the sky. The yellow-brown city rested upon an enormous mass of multicolored flying earth, scattering clouds of dust wherever it passed. Mo Chou, the Mo Family's Second Supreme Elder, examined the traces left when Flame Sovereign Blessed Land absorbed heaven and earth qi. Killing intent surged in his eyes as he laughed. "He exposed his immortal aperture here! Chase him!"
The Mo Family immediately drove the Rank Seven Immortal Gu House Myriad Earth Flying Sand Castle forward. Although this Earth Path fortress was best known for its formidable defense, its speed was no less impressive. Before long, Mo Chou spotted a blazing pillar of fire streaking across the distant sky.
"Hahaha! Lin Yan, you won't escape today!"
Mo Chou's expression turned fierce, while Mo Guang stared at the fleeing figure with undisguised hatred. Myriad Earth Flying Sand Castle accelerated again, rapidly closing the distance between them. Neither noticed the cold killing intent that flashed through Lin Yan's eyes.
Lin Yan abruptly turned around and swung the bronze Formation Flag. A towering beam of azure light erupted from the banner and shot toward the sky. The Mo Family Gu Immortals had been wholly focused on the pursuit and had no time to change direction. Myriad Earth Flying Sand Castle crashed directly into the descending radiance.
Rumble!
The enormous fortress shook violently. Large portions of the flying earth beneath it exploded, destroying countless mortal Gu and tearing a gaping hole through its lower defenses. As the azure light faded, the colossal Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion emerged before them.
Roar! Its enormous body blotted out the sky, and its roar shook the surrounding desert. After recuperating within the Green Ghost Desert, the immemorial desolate beast had returned to its peak condition. Now, supported by hundreds of thousands of mortal Gu and the complete Rank Seven Soul Devouring Demon Subduing Formation, it unleashed its full might without restraint.
The Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion opened its jaws and inhaled. Innate divine ability—Soul Devouring!
Ethereal darkness gathered within its mouth as a terrifying suction force swept across Myriad Earth Flying Sand Castle. Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Gu House could have resisted it with ease. However, the earlier collision had already torn open its defenses, allowing the Soul Devouring power to pour directly through the breach.
Mo Guang's expression changed drastically. Before he could activate a defensive method, his body stiffened and his thoughts came to a halt. His soul had been completely suppressed, preventing him from properly mobilizing the immortal essence within his aperture. He could only stare in horror as the invisible force dragged him through the shattered defenses.
"No!" Mo Chou reached out to save him, but he was already too late. Mo Guang flew from the fortress and vanished into the Green Claw Ghost Winged Lion enormous mouth.
Gulp.
The immemorial desolate beast swallowed him whole.

A lot of people were saying the recent chapters were becoming too much of an info dump, so I'm trying to change the writing style from the recent chapters and add more slice-of-life moments.
