The terrain before her was gentle and flat, stretching endlessly to the horizon.
Zhao Lianyun's divine sense continuously expanded, eventually surveying her entire blessed land without missing a thing.
Not long ago, she had successfully ascended to Immortal, becoming a Sixth Transformation Wisdom Path Gu Master of Spirit Connection Monastery, and had obtained this Upper Grade blessed land before her.
Lianyun Blessed Land.
A total of 8.6 million mu, with a large branch of the River of Time. The time flow ratio with the outside world was one to thirty-three. Within her Immortal Aperture blessed land, over thirty Green Grape Immortal Yuan could be produced naturally each year.
"Half grassland, half plain," Zhao Lianyun murmured.
The terrain of a blessed land was connected to the individual Gu Master's personal circumstances.
The grassland terrain was perhaps because Zhao Lianyun's heart was tied to the Northern Plains. Since her transmigration, she had spent most of her time there. As for the plain terrain, that might have inherited the style of the Central Continent.
Without any planting or cultivation, the grassland was already lush and green. The plain was equally fertile, and with just a little cultivation, it would yield abundant produce.
Beyond the blessed land, there were also Immortal Gu.
Setting aside the Ninth Transformation Love Immortal Gu, Zhao Lianyun had also obtained a second Immortal Gu — Reminiscence — upon ascending with her Upper Grade blessed land.
This was a Wisdom Path Immortal Gu shaped like a flying ant. Its flight speed was astonishing, its entire body silver-white in color, and when stationary, it would emit a faint, ethereal white halo.
"Hongyun, do you know? I am no longer a mortal — I have become an Immortal Gu Master!"
Zhao Lianyun withdrew her consciousness, slowly opened her eyes, and returned her attention to the outside world.
She let out a soft sigh.
After becoming an Immortal, while there was joy, there was even more emptiness and loneliness.
In the battle of the Reverse Flow River, although Ma Hongyun had been crushed to death by Fang Yuan, his soul still remained.
This was not Zhao Lianyun's wild guess, but the deduction of Xu Hao, a Wisdom Path Gu Master of Spirit Connection Monastery.
Zhao Lianyun chose to believe, and this had become her motivation and hope to press forward with her cultivation.
Thinking that Ma Hongyun still had a sliver of hope for resurrection, Zhao Lianyun composed her emotions, rose to her feet, and left this seclusion chamber.
Today was a momentous day.
As Zhao Lianyun walked along a corridor, the female Immortal Li Junying was already waiting for her.
"Lianyun greets Sister Junying." Zhao Lianyun immediately bowed.
Li Junying smiled and said, "No need to be so formal, Sister Lianyun. Come, I'll accompany you to the Secret Heritage Peak."
Secret Heritage Peak was a place that the Gu Masters of Spirit Connection Monastery frequently visited.
It was Zhao Lianyun's first time visiting, and the peak was indeed extraordinary. It floated suspended in midair, surrounded by ethereal void — seemingly close yet actually distant. The aura atop the peak was heavy and restrained, clearly indicating that a major Immortal-level Gu formation had been laid upon it.
This peak was managed by a Supreme Elder of the Neutral Faction of Spirit Connection Monastery, known as Immortal Maiden Liufang.
However, on this visit, Zhao Lianyun did not meet the real Immortal Maiden Liufang, but was instead received by a willed fragment she had left behind.
Zhao Lianyun herself did not notice anything amiss, but Li Junying furrowed her brows slightly.
By all logic, as Spirit Connection Monastery's current Fairy, Zhao Lianyun would be heavily cultivated by the sect. For her first visit to Secret Heritage Peak to receive sect benefits, she should have been personally received by the Peak Master.
But Immortal Maiden Liufang had not followed this custom.
"Junior Lianyun pays respects to Senior Liufang." Zhao Lianyun bowed toward Liufang's willed fragment.
"No need for such formalities — you are our sect's current Fairy, after all. Please take a careful look at this Gu." The willed fragment of Liufang smiled warmly, her attitude very courteous, and handed Zhao Lianyun a mortal Communication Path Gu.
Zhao Lianyun took it and glanced inside. The contents were dazzlingly abundant, with numerous items listed, momentarily making her head spin.
"Lianyun's knowledge is limited. Please review it for me, Sister Junying." Zhao Lianyun was a smart woman and quickly handed the Gu to Li Junying beside her.
Li Junying took it, looked it over, and nodded slightly.
The items listed in this Communication Path Gu, compared to before, had not been reduced or trimmed — they were all genuine.
She immediately transmitted her voice to Zhao Lianyun: "Lianyun, now that you've become an Immortal Gu Master with the Love and Reminiscence Immortal Gu and an Upper Grade blessed land, your standing is already extremely high."
"Once you become an Immortal Gu Master, you must manage your Immortal Aperture and accumulate your foundation. The most pressing task is feeding your Immortal Gu. Fortunately, although your Love Immortal Gu is at the high level of the Ninth Transformation, it poses no feeding difficulties."
"So, what you need to consider now is the Reminiscence Immortal Gu. To feed this Gu, the ingredient needed is the Bright Eye Flower. Among Spirit Connection Monastery's benefits, there happens to be a cultivation method for Bright Eye Flowers — you should select it."
Zhao Lianyun nodded repeatedly and transmitted back, "Sister is absolutely right. And what about the other two items?"
As Spirit Connection Monastery's current Fairy, she naturally enjoyed exceptional benefits.
According to sect rules, once the current Fairy made a breakthrough in cultivation, she could select three resources from Secret Heritage Peak to receive free of charge.
As for other Gu Masters, unless they had rendered great service, they could only exchange their sect contributions for these resources.
Li Junying smiled faintly and continued, "Besides that, I recommend you select the Victory Grass. Since you are a Wisdom Path Gu Master, you naturally need to develop along the Wisdom Path. Victory Grass is not only a Wisdom Path resource but also relatively easy to cultivate, and on the markets of the Treasure Yellow Heaven, it commands excellent prices. If you choose this, you definitely won't regret it."
