In Guangqing Immortal Hall, Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect ambushed Lin Xuankong, Guang Yu’er, and Guang Ling’Er with the sleep-inducing shell of a Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit during a supposed trade. Guang Ling’Er succumbed and collapsed into deep slumber despite her efforts. Surrounded by over twenty Ninth-Grade Perfection Earth Immortals ready to strike, Guang Yu’er struggled with dizziness and stagnant Immortal Yuan, unable to activate her Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill.

Filled with panic,

Guang Yu’er anxiously turned her gaze to Lin Xuankong. The sight unfolding before her filled her with utter desperation and worry.

Within Guang Yu’er’s thoughts, Lin Xuankong stood as the warrior who had crushed dozens of Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon Generals, demolished the Demon Buddha invoked by the Celestial Demon Array, and compelled the legendary Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lords to withdraw. In her eyes, among the twenty-eight seasoned Strongest Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm’s Human Race, scarcely more than six or seven could outmatch Lin Xuankong. She was convinced that neither her Uncle Master Kunyuan Daoist nor Master Qiaan Yuan Daoist could prevail against Lin Xuankong once he had his Grand Array fully deployed!

Despite her own breakthrough into the Initial Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord, she still regarded her total power as far inferior to that of her cherished Lin Xuankong!

Yet the scene right before her ignited a storm of intense worry, unease, and hopelessness in her heart!

For in her view, the near-invincible Lin Xuankong was now displaying a stunned look with his body swaying unsteadily, clearly influenced by the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit, on the verge of drifting into slumber!

Impossible,

Utterly impossible!

Those Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect had seized the moment when Master Qiaan Yuan Daoist and Uncle Master Kunyuan Daoist headed to the Assembly Hall for crucial discussions, slipping into Guangqing Immortal Hall to pull off this scheme. A deep plot lurked behind it all, and they surely wouldn’t let her, Xuankong, or Ling’Er go free. How else could they evade the chase from over twenty Strongest Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm Human Race? One must remember that Xuankong now enjoyed extraordinary standing in the Immortal Realm, and no Strongest Immortal Lord from the Immortal Realm Human Race—save Immortal Lord Feiyun—would tolerate any injury befalling Xuankong!

Facing this crisis,

She must never let Xuankong come to harm,

Whether for her own sake or his, for the ultimate clash between Immortals and Demons, or for the Human Race’s destiny in the Immortal Realm, she absolutely refused to let those Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect injure Xuankong!

She needed to find a way out... Curse it, why does my Immortal Yuan refuse to respond when I try to stir it... Stay calm, there has to be a solution!

Right then, Guang Yu’er, the fresh Strongest Immortal Lord Realm disciple of Guangqing Immortal Sect, racked her brain frantically for an escape from this dire bind. She hadn’t even noticed that Lin Xuankong’s well-being had taken priority over her own in her heart!

While Guang Yu’er’s mind raced,

Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, paid no heed to the Sixth Elder famed for his weakness toward women,

He fixed his gaze on Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu’er, letting out a cold sneer:

"I never thought that you two, without ever consuming the leaves of the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit, could hold out for so long!

Evidently, Guang Yu’er, your cultivation base runs far deeper than your junior sister Guang Ling’Er’s. Your Divine Soul power outstrips hers by seven or eight times! That truly astonishes me!

And you, Lin Xuankong... I genuinely didn’t anticipate a mere Fourth-Grade Earth Immortal lasting this long!

Though you’re just a lowly Fourth-Grade Earth Immortal, blessed with remarkable Artifact Refining Talent and Array Formation Talent, along with a prestige no other Earth Immortal can touch, there’s more. Your Divine Soul is potent enough to fend off the effects of the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit shell for so long!

Heh, were it not for sensing your Immortal Yuan’s clear aura, I’d question if you were truly a Fourth-Grade Earth Immortal or actually a powerhouse at the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm!"

Lin Xuankong’s body rocked back and forth at that instant, as if he could barely stay upright, before collapsing with a thud onto the wooden chair behind him. Feeling his strength ebb away, he directed a weak, halting gaze at Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, knitting his brows as he murmured:

"I... I’m truly baffled!

I, Lin Xuankong, have never ventured beyond the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, nor encountered any Earth Immortals from your Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect. I can swear that regardless of any grievances Guangqing Immortal Sect’s Yu’er and Guang Ling’Er might have caused you two, I, Lin Xuankong, bear no grudge against you!

But... why is your Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect striking at me right now, daring to provoke countless Strongest Immortal Lords and Earth Immortals from the Immortal Realm Human Race?

Aren’t you aware that the Immortal Artifacts I, Lin Xuankong, bestowed upon the Strongest Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm hold vital importance for the decisive clash between Immortals and Demons? Don’t the Earth Immortals of your Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect grasp that injuring me and Yu’er will draw the enmity of every Strongest Immortal Lord and Earth Immortal across the Immortal Realm?"

After Lin Xuankong spoke these words,

All the Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect who stood there burst into cold, mocking laughs.

The lecherous Sixth Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect couldn’t hold back his booming laughter as he jabbed a finger at Lin Xuankong, declaring: "Everyone boasts that you, Lin Xuankong, hold Artifact Refining Talent and Array Formation Talent unseen in hundreds of thousands of years. Such a shame! In my eyes, despite your remarkable talents, you remain nothing but a fool!

Don’t you realize that since my Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect brothers chose to go after you, Guang Ling’er, and Guang Yu’er this time, they must have a scheme in place!"

Lin Xuankong’s brows knitted tightly upon hearing this, a flicker of reluctance crossing his face, "If you move against me and Yu’er, then across the entire vast Immortal Realm, you twenty-eight will find no sanctuary. What scheme could you possibly have???"

At that moment, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Sima Ling, let out a chilling laugh:

"The Immortal Realm spans countless domains, yet the portion held by the Human Race, though expansive, pales against the mightier and more thriving Profound Yin Sacred Domain, supreme among all domains!

The Immortal Realm Human Race brags of twenty-eight Strongest Immortal Lords, but how do they stack up to the seventy-two Saint Masters of the Profound Yin Saint Sect, whose lives stretch to a million years each!

Though the Immortal Realm Human Race boasts billions of cultivators, their full might still falls short of even a sliver of the Saint Monarch’s Power from the Upper Realm Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch!

When it comes to safe havens,

Guided by the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch’s Power, this invasion by the Profound Yin Saint Race against the Immortal Realm Human Race ensures no refuge remains for the Human Race in the Immortal Realm, the Demon Race at Boundaryless Mountain, or the so-called monks and nuns of the Spirit Platform Buddha Realm!"

As Sima Ling’s words rang out,

A subtle shift appeared in Lin Xuankong’s gaze, hinting at sudden understanding. Next to him, Guang Yu’er’s beautiful features hardened into frost as she spat with venom:

"So your Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect has secretly allied with those vile demons of the Profound Yin Demon Sect? No surprise then that you twenty-eight mere Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals have the audacity to defy the whole Immortal Realm and target Xuankong!"

"Hahahaha, ‘colluded’ is far too severe a term!"

Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, roared with laughter, "As the proverb goes, smart birds pick the best trees, and wise men follow the era’s flow. With the Profound Yin Saint Race empowered by the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch’s Power, their conquest of the Immortal Realm’s myriad domains is inevitable; the Immortal Realm Human Race’s resistance is like an ant challenging a rolling chariot! My Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect brothers are simply riding the grand wave, forging early ties with the Holy Race’s Saint Masters!"

His eyes then fixed on Lin Xuankong, "Furthermore, I’m thinking of the Immortal Realm Human Race’s future!

The noble Holy Son Gang Bone has commanded that if the Immortal Realm Human Race hands over Lin Xuankong, they’ll be allowed to persist and spared invasion for a million years!

Alas, such a shame! Those so-called mighty Strongest Immortal Lords flat-out rejected Holy Son Gang Bone’s exalted order!

In this situation, we must naturally seek ways to fulfill the directives from the Holy Son and Saint Masters, capturing Lin Xuankong to offer to the revered Holy Son in return for his transformation via the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch’s Power! Per Holy Son Gang Bone’s decree, should we from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect seize Lin Xuankong, our twenty-eight will soar straight to the Saint Master Realm, and our Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect will rise as the top Immortal Sect in the Immortal Realm!"

Right then, a hint of fanaticism surfaced on the face of Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect. "This time, I, Sima Ling, will surely realize the aspiration of numerous predecessors from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, overthrowing the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, and dominating the Human Race in the Immortal Realm for a million years, achieving supreme glory!"
