Lin Xuankong realized he was not in the same great world as his blue planet homeland, resolving to ascend to the Supreme Origin Realm and traverse worlds to return. Guang Yu'er accused Sima Ling of stalling with unverifiable tales to escape the Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill, but Lin Xuankong allowed him to continue. Sima Ling revealed the Profound Yin Demon Sect's assault on the Immortal Realm was backed by ancient Celestial Demon Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch's transmitted celestial demon force: Thousand Illusions and Ten Thousand Curses, a Curse of Time Demon Technique. Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er frowned, as she questioned its power compared to her master's time array.

Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, let out a sigh and declared:

"This old man is well aware of the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage and Immortal Lord Yaan Mingyu's Luo Water Array, but pardon me for my bluntness,

Immortal Lord Yaan Mingyu's Luo Water Array, powerful though it is and able to manipulate time flow through its enigmatic powers, falls far short of the Ancient Celestial Demon Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch's Curse of Time. The gap between them is immense!"

"What?

Old Sima, you can't be talking nonsense!

With plentiful resources powering Immortal Lord Yaan Mingyu's New Luo Water Array, it can shift the time flow rate inside its domain, speeding it up by a hundredfold!

Do you get what a hundredfold means?

Picture a Cultivator inside the New Luo Water Array going into secluded cultivation for a hundred years, while just one year slips by outside!

This basically gives Cultivators in the New Luo Water Array a hundred times faster cultivation speed than everyone else!

How can you claim such a miraculous, heaven-defying technique doesn't stack up to that Ancient Celestial Demon Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch's Curse of Time? You old coot, it's clear the Third Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect has brainwashed you into thinking only those demon brats and Demon Lords hold real power!"

After Second Elder Sima Ling of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect declared the Curse of Time superior to the New Luo Water Array, Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er instantly showed her displeasure.

Indeed, Guang Yu'er, the cherished companion of Lin Xuankong, felt deep envy and desperately wished to cultivate alongside him in the New Luo Water Array!

Any Cultivator chasing greater strength would find a hundredfold cultivation speed utterly irresistible!

But Sima Ling had just trashed the New Luo Water Array that Guang Yu'er treasured and craved, which she simply couldn't accept.

Still, Lin Xuankong didn't appear overly shocked at that instant,

for in his view, his master Immortal Lord Yaan Mingyu's New Luo Water Array stood as the Immortal Realm's most profound formation, equipped with both defensive and offensive might while also tweaking time flow rates—making it extraordinarily divine. Yet when stacked against Lin Xuankong's own Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate, its Old and Wise trait, plus the talents tied to Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters, it wasn't anything exceptionally overpowering!

A hundredfold cultivation boost no longer felt like a massive leap for Lin Xuankong nowadays— he currently enjoys over a hundred seventy times the speed, able to multiply the potency of all sorts of Spirit Fruits and Elixirs by that same factor, and he even bestows huge cultivation speed surges along with boosted effects from Spirit Fruits and Elixirs upon his Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters!

This defines Lin Xuankong in the present,

whether after a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years,

Lin Xuankong couldn't even fathom just how insane his cultivation speed would become by then! And that's not even counting himself—at ten thousand years old, his wife, master Immortal Lord Yaan Mingyu, and adopted son Little Hu would all possess a five thousand times cultivation speed, amplifying every Spirit Fruit and Elixir's effect by five thousand times as well!

What happens at ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or even five million years?

At that stage, never mind Lin Xuankong personally—even his companions' cultivation speed bonuses would dwarf the finest geniuses in the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm by endless margins!

It's precisely because he wields these overpowered talents that Lin Xuankong profoundly grasps the truth: there are always stronger powers beyond the heavens—his master Immortal Lord Yaan Mingyu's brilliant array arts and New Luo Water Array may be supremely divine, but greater techniques eclipse them all!

As Lin Xuankong reflected on this,

Second Elder Sima Ling of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect pressed on:

"Immortal Lord Guang, Immortal Lin, the Curse of Time that the Ancient Celestial Demon Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch bestowed upon the Lower Realm doesn't merely warp time flow a hundredfold—it strikes right at the targets, hastening their personal time by a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand years!

While the Third Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect didn't spell out the full might of the Demon Child Gang Bone's Curse of Time, he revealed that every Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General in the Profound Yin Demon Sect gained its blessing, instantly surging their cultivation ahead by a hundred thousand years!

The Curse of Time, unleashed by the Demon Child Gang Bone through Celestial Demon Power on every Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General, precisely caused those rivals to Immortal Realm Human Race Earth Immortals to grow immensely powerful. Even without advancing to the Demon Lord Realm, they received massive boosts, transforming into fresh Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon Generals that ordinary Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals simply cannot damage!"

After hearing all this from Sima Ling,

Guang Yu'er, who had started out a bit restless, abruptly remembered her earlier ordeal alongside Lin Xuankong defending the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect from eighty Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon Generals,

During that period, Guang Yu'er held the rank of Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortal,

Though a huge gap separated her from the Strongest Immortal Lord level, she commanded a supreme technique from the Guangqing Immortal Sect—a Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortal skill—that dwarfed the might of typical Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortals in minor or mid-sized Immortal sects!

Yet,

despite being a Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortal far beyond any ordinary Earth Immortal by a staggering degree,

her full-force Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill failed to pierce the defenses of even one Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General!

Guang Yu'er felt profoundly stunned at the time,

because previously, while training under Immortal Lord Qiaan Yuan, she had battled and defeated a Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General from the Profound Yin Demon Sect at Ninth-Grade Realm! Had she not, Immortal Lord Qiaan Yuan and Immortal Lord Kunyuan would never have dared wager so boldly against Immortal Lord Yaan Mingyu back then!

Shockingly for Guang Yu'er, however, during her time at the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect with Lin Xuankong, those upgraded Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon Generals proved utterly unscathed by her maximum efforts!

Reflecting on this, Guang Yu'er's face shifted through various expressions; shaking her head, she declared:

"No wonder I couldn't breach the defense of even one new Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon General back then—it nearly destroyed my faith in my own strength and Immortal Technique! Those new Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon Generals had gained a hundred thousand years of cultivation from the Demon Child Gang Bone's Curse of Time, so the foes I struck were demon generals aged over ten thousand years!

Viewed this way, it made perfect sense that I, a Ninth-Grade Perfect Level Earth Immortal with just over ten thousand years of cultivation, couldn't shatter an ancient demon general's defense!"

In that moment,

Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, revealed a trace of hopelessness in his gaze and let out a heavy sigh:

"Immortal Lord Guang, Immortal Lin, the most horrifying aspect, as revealed by the Third Demon Lord, is that the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Child Gang Bone harnessed the Curse of Time's benefits—not just to empower all Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Level Demon Generals, but also to ignite the Ancient Celestial Demon Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch's power, dramatically elevating the might of every Demon Lord in the Profound Yin Demon Sect!"

"Furthermore, beyond these effects, the Curse of Time possesses utterly dreadful offensive prowess!"
