Reverend Insanity: Insatiable

Inside of the wooden cabin I drank a cup of tea as I held masked emotion gu. It was a plain white mask with a unique effect. It can create masks that if put on a being will make them change their emotions. The type of emotions depends on the wearer of the gu, if the wearer is mad it can create angry masks and if placed on a being it'll make them enraged. So it can make different emotional masks to affect beings depending on the emotional state of the wearer.

I've got my hands on a immortal level gu and now I'm a master of a blessed land..... and I've received no notifications from the system. Which could only mean that some other players had already accomplished what I've done, and here I was hoping that'd I would get a reward for at least one of these accomplishments.

The system rarely gives rewards, if you want a reward you'd have to do something incredibly difficult and be the first person to do it, and if you do get rewarded you'd get a prize equal to the difficulty of the accomplishments. As I was thinking so the door to the cabin opened up and the masked spirit came in.

Masked spirit[ master their is only three relic gu in my possession, and no talent raising gu.]

Crim[ what ranks are they?]

Masked spirit[ one red steel and two yellow golden relic gu.]

Fuck not a single white steel relic gu, well at least their was two yellow golden relic gu. I wasn't even sure if their was relic gu here. When I acquired this blessed land I was already an immortal so the amount of relic gu didn't matter to me. As for talent raising gu it doesn't matter much to me not with liquefied primeval essence stones to constantly refill my primeval sea essence for either combat or cultivation.

I'll have to stay in this blessed land to speed up my cultivation. I want that reward for becoming an immortal first. My only competition would be those lucky bastards who've got the backing of an immortal, but those immortals won't let them rush and try to ascend so quick. They'd want them to accumulate experience both in the dao and the world.

As for those who have high talent and have no immortal backing they'd have it way harder. Form refining gu to even having a gu recipe for higher ranks, but the real problem for those without immortal backing. Is that they'd have to deal with their tribulations on their own. Those capable to ascend are already a minority and those who could successfully deal with their tribulations on their own were way less. Hell it isn't till the players created sects and worked together to deal with immortal tribulations did a large amount of players become immortals.

Masked spirit[ master this is for you.]

A light pink mask hovered near me.

Masked spirit[ master this is..]

Crim[ its the true meaning from masked immortal.]

Masked spirit[ that's right use it and gain all of his accumulated dao attainment.]

Crim[ no]

Masked spirit[ what? But why master?]

Crim[ I'm already master level attainment in wisdom path, this true meaning would do nothing for me.]

Masked spirit[ but....]

Crim[ that's enough go and put it away and bring me all of the primeval essence stones.]

Masked spirit[ yes master]

In my last life I had already absorbed masked immortals true meaning and got master level attainment in wisdom path. It had helped me alot in my life and in developing my food path attainment. Most immortals were lucky to have a mortal wisdom path inheritance let alone a immortal level inheritance and a immortal gu with it.

I was able to deduce gu recipes and killer moves with my attainment and inheritance, but I've already absorbed masked immortals true meaning. If I absorbed it again I'd get nothing, why waste this precious resource when I could gain from it.

Best case scenario I could trade it for another true meaning from another immortal. I'd love to get my hands on a rule path true meaning, I'm sure I could eventually find someone willing to trade since most people would value wisdom path over rule path. I just have to wait though, even if I was rank 6 and tried to trade the true meaning I'd be hunted and killed by other immortals eyeing my inheritance. I'd need to have a certain level of strength inorder to safely trade the true meaning.

Masked spirit[ master I've brought all of the primeval essence stones. Now what?]

I tossed him liquid gu

Crim[ Use this gu to liquefy the primeval essence stones but make sure to let the gu rest after 45 uses.]

Masked spirit[ are you planning on cultivating master?]

Crim[ yeah I want to at least reach rank 4 before I leave.]

Masked spirit[ your leaving? Why risk your life though, why not just cultivate here till you need to break through to rank 6?]

Crim[ theirs another blessed land I plan on getting and one of the conditions for becoming the master of that blessed land is that you must be a mortal, but after I get that blessed land I promise you I don't plan on leaving it till I need to ascend to rank 6.]

Masked spirit[ that's fantastic master.]

Crim[ by the way how many beads of immortal essence are left?]

The system reward for becoming the first immortal will be mine.

.........

With a large supply of primeval essence stones and with the blessed land spirit converting it into liquid with liquid gu, all I had to do was wait for steep tea gu to advance my primeval sea essence a stage up, but with all of that to help me my cultivation was a breeze .

After some time and a constant resupply of primeval sea essence I was able to reach rank 4.

Masked spirit[ congratulations master on the successful breakthrough.]

Crim have you done what I've asked?]

Masked spirit[ I've tried my best but I was only able to refine qi shape gu to rank 4, I've had to restart several times with grip gu but its still at rank 3. Even with your wills guidance this was the best I could do.]

Crim[ no worries, qi shape matters more anyways. With it I can further refine my key gu, now what about my ship and the gu formation I've had my will guide you into building?]

Masked spirit[ the ship has been modified first since your will stated it mattered more than the other projects, the gu formation is not even 10% complete and I've estimated that it'll take at least half a year to get at most half done.]

Crim[ that makes sense, formations are a pain to set up even the ones I'm most familiar with.]

Masked spirit[ might I ask you something master?]

Crim[ go ahead]

Masked spirit[ what does the ship and gu formation do?]

Crim[ on my ship theirs a gu formation called Gu's might. That can use a gu effect around the ship, the only down side to this formation is its cost, but with the upgrade I had you do to it. My ship can now be fueled by an immortals green grape bead. I can run my formation almost non stop and the green grape bead won't be sensed outside of the formation. As for the gu formation it's something I'll need once I become an immortal. Once I do become one I'll return and complete whatever else is needed to be built.]

Masked spirit[ I see.... but is it really necessary to take all of my immortal essence stones too?]

Crim[ of course it is, besides all you had was 5 of them. It's chump change in my opinion]

Masked spirit[ but master what could you possibly need them for. Your just putting yourself in danger taking them with you.]

Crim[ enough, I need them to get my hands on that blessed land its one of the conditions for becoming the master of it.]

Five immortal essence stones for a blessed land its a steal, now all I have to do before I set out is to refine my gu to the next rank. I'll have to focus on my food path gu any other gu of a different path would be too difficult for me to refine at this rank. Refining gu to rank 4 and 5 is a whole other beast. It's not something a meager amount of luck can make up for.

One of the main reasons I chose to obtain masked immortals blessed land was because he had methods to increase a persons soul strength and to refine it. Of course his soul boosting methods are only good for weaker souls after a certain level his methods aren't as useful, but for the current me it's perfect. Not only will it help me enslave beasts easier, but I'll also won't have to worry about my soul getting damaged badly while I refine my food path gu.
