Lin Xuankong feels unprecedented pressure from the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch, enhanced by his Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate. He demands details on the Curse of Time's attack effects from Sima Ling, promising to spare the innocent members of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect. Sima Ling reveals the curse accelerates aging by draining the target's lifespan foundation, amplified by blood sacrifices or the caster's own lifespan, posing a dire threat due to demons' superior longevity. Both Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er grow concerned, especially for Lin's vulnerability.

Right at this moment, Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, gazed intently at Lin Xuankong and uttered words laced with deep sentiment:

"There's one more issue,

which the Third Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect brought up as well, albeit without specifics!

This ties into a massive conflict among demons, humans, buddhas, and other races in the Supreme Origin Realm. He stressed that the mission to seize Immortal Lin assigned to me carries vital weight, not just shaping the rhythm of the ongoing Immortal Demon War but potentially swaying the clashes in the Supreme Origin Realm itself!"

After hearing these words from Sima Ling of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er gave a soft snort,

"Is that even worth mentioning? All Earth Immortals across the Immortal Realm know this full well!

Xuankong's skills in Artifact Refining stand unrivaled across all ages. I'm certain that even masters of Artifact Refining from the Ancient Era, Middle Ages, or ancient times past couldn't match Xuankong!

In eras such as the Ancient Era and Middle Ages, while human Artifact Refining Masters in the Immortal Realm forged plenty of Middle to High-Grade Immortal Artifacts and occasionally some Ninth-Grade ones,

that success likely stemmed from the plentiful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures back then. Treasures as rare today as Celestial Demon Blood Fruit, Seven-leaf Spirit Tea, and Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits were far more abundant in those days!

Reflecting on the Ancient Era and similar times, Human Race Refining Masters probably crafted all those Middle to High-Grade Immortal Artifacts by leveraging superior spiritual materials, which gave them opportunities to produce a few Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts!

However, Xuankong remains the only one through endless eras in the Immortal Realm who can forge First-Grade Immortal Artifacts from low-grade immortal artifact materials, then elevate them to Second, Third, or even Fourth-Grade! The challenge level is on a completely different plane!

In the current Immortal Realm, prior to Xuankong crafting hordes of immortal artifacts, First-Grade Immortal Artifacts were scarce, Second-Grade ones were incredibly uncommon, and just one Third-Grade Immortal Artifact existed, owned by the Sect Leader of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect!

The Profound Yin Demon Sect demons aiming to create superior demon artifacts surely crave top-tier immortal artifacts as base materials!

In this scenario,

demons, demon generals, demon lords from the Profound Yin Demon Sect, along with that so-called demon child, must fantasize about seizing Xuankong and compelling him to forge countless immortal artifacts for them to corrupt and transform!"

Hearing such lavish acclaim from Guang Yu'er, the devoted companion of the Strongest Immortal Lord, Lin Xuankong experienced a touch of heartfelt stir. Though his present Path of Artifact Refining boasts immense power, he still cannot forge Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts outright. He learned the technique for growth-type immortal artifacts from the Artifact Refining Genius Miss Xiao, and with her, they produced a tremendously potent growth-type immortal artifact, nurturing it into a Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact at tremendous cost in resources!

Across the whole Immortal Realm today, the true supreme genius in artifact refining, peerless through the ages, is none other than Miss Xiao!

Naturally, when it comes down to it, my own role was pivotal too!

Although Miss Xiao's artifact refining talent dazzles beyond measure, absent my Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate and Old and Wise Talent—which granted her almost ninetyfold boost in comprehension growth—her Path of Artifact Refining might have stalled at High-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, far from her current Immortal Path Realm!

In essence, Miss Xiao and I forged this triumph side by side!

As Lin Xuankong mulled over these thoughts,

Sima Ling, Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, declared: "I, Sima Ling, have revealed to you two Immortals every detail I possess about the Profound Yin Demon Sect!

Regarding the thirty-six Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits and the Immortal Technique Jade Scroll from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect that I vowed earlier to the two Immortals, they lie concealed within the eighteenth Celestial Crystal Cave and the sixty-ninth Earth Fire Cave amid the Seventy-two Cave Perilous Lands of Central State in the Immortal Realm!

I, Sima Ling, merely beseech the two Immortals to show mercy to the hundreds of thousands of disciples and Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, and refrain from ending our legacy in my grasp!"

"The eighteenth Celestial Crystal Cave and sixty-ninth Earth Fire Cave in the Seventy-two Cave Perilous Lands?"

Guang Yu'er, the Strongest Immortal Lord, shifted her gaze, her form blurring as she seized one of the Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts Lin Xuankong had deployed for the Nine-Layered Thousand Cranes Grand Array. With icy chill in her voice, she addressed the Second Elder Sima Ling of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect: "I shall head to the Seventy-two Cave Perilous Lands of Central State now, to retrieve the thirty-six Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits and the Immortal Technique Jade Scroll for Xuankong. If your information is true, although you cannot escape the death sentence this time, at least I won't touch the disciples and Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect further!"

The Second Elder Sima Ling of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect reacted at once upon hearing her words, crying out with evident thrill: "If Immortal Lord Guang can truly spare the hundreds of thousands of disciples and Earth Immortals of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, I, Sima Ling, would be immensely grateful, immensely grateful!"

As Guang Yu'er stirred her Immortal Yuan to depart, Lin Xuankong creased his brow and spoke up: "Since it's a quite famous perilous land in the Immortal Realm, why don't I go with you, so we can look out for each other!"

Her face had been frosty at first, but Lin Xuankong's words melted it into tenderness. The Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er replied in a gentle tone: "There's no need for you to go. You really think I progressed to a Strongest Immortal Lord Level for nothing? An Hour has almost passed now, my strength has recovered more than ninety percent, a mere Seventy-two Cave Perilous Land pales in comparison with true dangers like the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land!"
