Reverend Insanity: Dream Gu

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Path Gu materials were abundant throughout the Gu World. As a result, these five paths naturally became the mainstream cultivation paths of the current era.

As for Human Path, although it possessed countless powerful killer moves, it was simply too advanced. Almost all who cultivated it were Rank Eight or Rank Nine Gu Immortals. Without enough low-level Gu Masters, it could never become a truly flourishing path.

Dream Path was different. Once enough Rank One and Rank Two Gu materials existed, together with the combined wisdom of countless Gu Masters, its foundation could be established at an astonishing speed. Its significance would be no different from Fireball Gu to Flame Path or White Boar Gu to Strength Path.

At that moment, Lin Yan truly understood the value of Dream Derivation Immortal Gu. Given enough time and the right opportunity, he could rapidly lay the foundation of Dream Path and nurture a group of Dream Path Gu Immortals, ensuring they stood at the forefront of the coming great era.

"Still, all of this rests on one condition." Lin Yan’s gaze turned solemn. "My strength must improve further. At the very least, I must reach Rank Seven before I can hide the commotion this will create."

Even so, his heart could not remain calm. Dream Derivation Immortal Gu had only revealed a fraction of its power, yet it already possessed the potential to change the future of an entire path.

It reminded him of the future Heavenly Court, which had used Rank Nine Derivation Gu to establish a grand formation. In just a single year, it laid the foundation of Human Path, allowing it to flourish and eventually become one of the mainstream paths in the Gu World.

Lin Yan naturally had no way of matching such a feat. However, Dream Derivation Immortal Gu had shown him another possibility. Given enough time, he could also lay the foundation of Dream Path step by step.

Lin Yan immediately put his thoughts into action.

He guided the Huang Family Gu Masters who had already left the Dream Realm to continue using Dream Derivation Immortal Gu to deduce killer moves and refine Gu worms.

At the same time, Lin Yan created two new features within the Dream Realm. One was Battle Arena, a place where two Gu Masters could enter the same Dream Realm and spar without risking their lives. The other was the Dao Discussion Hall, where Gu Masters could exchange insights, discuss the Dao, and compete with one another.

He also announced another rule. The top ten Gu Masters on the Dao Discussion Stage leaderboard would receive his personal guidance to improve their aperture aptitude.

Among the tens of thousands of Huang Family Gu Masters, many possessed exceptional talent. They only appeared ordinary because their aperture aptitude limited them. Once that limitation was removed, their true potential would finally be unleashed.

"This is only the first step."

Lin Yan’s eyes shone with anticipation. "The second step is to let mortal people enter the Dream Realm. Through Dream Path, they can experience cultivation before even awakening their apertures. Then, using suitable methods to awaken their aptitude, they will advance far faster than ordinary Gu Masters. Reaching the Gu Immortal realm in a single day may not be impossible."

The Huang Family Gu Masters were only a tiny fraction of the population. Mortal people made up the overwhelming majority. Most of them never had the opportunity to cultivate because they could not awaken their apertures.

Throughout history, the Ten Venerables had all risen from the small group of Gu Masters. But among the countless Mortal, how many peerless geniuses had lived and died without ever stepping onto the path of cultivation?

If every one of them could awaken their apertures and cultivate, the number of extraordinary geniuses born into the Gu World would increase countless times over. By then, producing dozens of Venerable-level talents would no longer be an impossible dream.

Every Gu Master in the Gu World understood this, yet almost no one had ever tried to walk such a path. Once they became Gu Masters, they looked down on Mortals. Once they became Gu Immortals, all living beings became nothing more than ants in their eyes. Without realizing it, they had all been blinded by a single leaf.

Even Fang Yuan was no exception. After living in the Gu World for so long, He had long since adapted to the Gu World. Slaughtering hundreds of millions of people was simply another method to achieve his goals.

But in Lin Yan’s eyes, such an approach was simply too wasteful.

"To awaken the apertures of every Mortals, how many Rank Five Man Triumphing Heaven Gu would be be required? The cost would be unimaginable."

"But I cultivate Dream Path."

"With Dream Derivation Immortal Gu, I can lead Mortal into the Dream Realm, let them experience cultivation before awakening their apertures, identify those with true talent, and only then help them awaken their aptitude."

"By gathering the wisdom and talent of billions of living beings, I can build the foundation of Dream Path and step toward the highest level of attainment."

Lin Yan laughed aloud. For the first time, the path before him no longer seemed shrouded in endless fog. The Great Dao finally felt within reach.

The direction was clear, but the road ahead was still long. He needed to develop complementary killer moves, creating an invisible network throughout the Dream Realm, allowing him to constantly monitor the countless results born within it.

More importantly, the Dream Realm needed a stable foundation. The colorful Dream Realm covering the entire city was only temporary. If he wanted it to exist forever, he would need something capable of supporting the entire Dream Realm.

His thoughts naturally returned to the idea from earlier. A Dream Path secluded domain of heaven and earth.

Perhaps...It could be called the Great Dream Immortal Realm.

Lin Yan knew this was already the limit of what Dream Derivation Immortal Gu could achieve at its current level. The next step was no longer to improve the Gu itself, but to raise his Dream Path attainment. Only then could he perfect these ideas and turn them into reality.
