Sun Cu's granddaughter, Sun Yue, would personally come to collect the Gu worms Lin Yan had refined according to their agreement.
Since both sides were now considered allies, Lin Yan no longer bothered hiding his abilities. Almost every ten days, he could produce either a Rank 4 or Rank 5 Earth Path Gu.
Sun Yue watched in astonishment.
This level of refinement efficiency was even more terrifying than Zhang Fang and several other Refinement Path Masters working together. At that moment, she finally understood that her grandfather's judgment of Lin Yan had not been wrong.
After all, Lin Yan's advantage was simply too great. The time flow inside the dream realm had already reached twenty to one, and its effects only became more terrifying the further he progressed.
Although blessed lands also possessed different time flow rates, doing so consumed lifespan. However Dream Derivation Gu, had no such drawback.
During this period, Lin Yan had accumulated nearly a full year of refinement experience within the dream realm, allowing him to complete most of the prerequisite Gu worms and immortal materials required for Transformation Stone Immortal Gu.
As for the remaining immortal materials, there was no other solution. They could only be refined during Sun Cu Immortal Ascension and used Heaven and Earth Qi to complete the refinement.

Time Passed Quickly and soon the deadline for Sun Cu Immortal Ascension arrived.
"It has already been a year and a half since I arrived at the Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor trade market."
Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes after exiting the dream realm, calculated the time, and let out a quiet sigh. He was now twenty and a half years old. Only four and a half years remained before Fang Yuan's rebirth. Time was becoming increasingly tight.
However, during this period, both his combat strength and foundation had undergone another qualitative transformation. His entire Flame Path killer move set had been rebuilt, while his Dream Path killer moves had also been reconstructed anew.
At the same time, the Rank 5 Fusion Fire Gu recipe was gradually taking shape. Combined with the many Flame Path recipes he had collected.
His attainments had also risen rapidly. Refining the materials for Immortal Gu had brought Lin Yan unimaginable gains. Inside the dream realm alone, he had accumulated nearly twenty years of refinement experience. His Refinement Path attainment advanced rapidly. Although he had not officially stepped into quasi-grandmaster level yet, he was already only half a step away.
More importantly, with the help of the Family's Earth Path true inheritance and constant practice through Gu recipes, his Earth Path attainment had directly broken through into quasi-master level in one go.
Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction. Not long afterward, Sun Yue came to visit once again. Her expression was solemn as she said, "Grandfather has decided to undergo Immortal Ascension. He asked me to confirm whether you are fully prepared."
Hearing this, Lin Yan smiled faintly. "I've also been looking forward to witnessing an Immortal Ascension tribulation."
The two quietly left the city and traveled along the Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor before entering a certain node. From there, they continued flying tens of thousands of kilometers deeper into the uninhabited desert.
Sun Cu was already waiting there. When he saw Lin Yan arrive, he nodded solemnly. "From this point onward, I'll have to rely on you to protect me. After achieving Immortal Ascension, I will do everything in my power to assist you as well."
"No need to worry. One day, I'll also have to face heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities myself."
At the same time, Lin Yan silently reviewed all of his actions up to this point. After reaching Rank 5, he had deliberately kept a low profile, quietly accumulating strength without making any major changes to the original timeline.
The disappearance of Refinement Path Gu Masters like Zhang Fang, which would later shake the Western Desert, should have happened within the original timeline anyway. Sun Cu refining the semi-finished Immortal Gu was also part of that fate.
The only thing Lin Yan had truly changed was replacing Zhang Fang and the others during the refinement of the semi-finished Immortal Gu for Sun Cu. The difference was not significant enough to disrupt fate itself, so events still continued along their original course. Even without his involvement, Sun Cu's chances of successfully achieving Immortal Ascension would still have been extremely high.
As for the possibility of Sun Cu breaking his promise after becoming a Gu Immortal, Lin Yan had naturally considered that long ago.
First, the alliance agreement still existed, so there was no immediate danger. Second, after this period of rapid growth, his combat strength had already undergone another qualitative transformation.
With the completed Six-Armed Divine Fire Yama and several Rank 5 Dream Path killer moves, Lin Yan was confident that even if he faced a newly ascended Rank 6 Gu Immortal wielding Transformation Stone Immortal Gu, he would still be able to retreat safely.
Everything had already been planned out clearly in his mind.
Lin Yan looked toward Sun Cu and calmly said, "Begin."
Hearing this, Sun Cu slowly took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged in the middle of the desert, and decisively shattered his aperture to begin Immortal Ascension.
