Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1081 450: Treasure in Hand (Part 2)

The Seventy-two Cave Perilous Land could pose real troubles for a Ninth Grade Perfection Level Earth Immortal, yet for a powerhouse reaching the Strongest Immortal Lord level, such minor perils wouldn't raise the slightest worry!

"Lin Xuankong, stay put here for a while; I'll return before you know it. Armed with your Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact, my round trip won't exceed half an hour!"

A touch of pride flickered across her soft features at that moment, "Though I can't fathom how you grew so overwhelmingly strong—matching my power with just the Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill sans the Grand Array—I realize that beside a supreme genius like you, Lin Xuankong, I, Guang Yu'er, refuse to remain a mere ornament!

"I need to assist you in certain tasks to feel truly secure; else, trailing a monstrous prodigy like you, Lin Xuankong, would leave me feeling inadequate!"

With that, Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er let out a clever chuckle, levitating upward to mount the Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact!

The next instant,

The freshly ascended Strongest Immortal Lord of the Guangqing Immortal Sect morphed into a blazing streak of light, surging skyward and vanishing into the horizon in mere moments!

A Strongest Immortal Lord-level expert unleashing their full Escape Technique outpaces regular Ninth Grade Perfection Level Earth Immortals by leaps and bounds. Boosted further by the Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact, Guang Yu'er's velocity drew a subtle nod from Lin Xuankong, who inwardly marveled. Despite his extraordinary aptitude, cultivation realm remained paramount for Earth Immortals in the Immortal Realm!

Nearby, Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect's Second Elder, Sima Ling, overheard the exchange between Lin Xuankong and Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er, waves of regret crashing through his thoughts,

Why did I succumb to the lures of those Profound Yin Demon Sect fiends, perpetrating countless atrocities for the Profound Yin Demon Sect demons, even scheming against a demonic prodigy like Lin Xuankong... when even Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er feels somewhat lesser before him!

...

Over half an hour passed,

Lin Xuankong, seated at the table enjoying aromatic tea, abruptly shifted his eyes, rising to stride toward the Guangqing Immortal Hall's guest hall entrance.

No sooner had he arrived at the threshold than a blinding ray of light plummeted from the far skies, touching down right by him. It was Guang Yu'er, the Strongest Immortal Lord dispatched to the Seventy-two Cave Perilous Land for the Thirty-six Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits and every Immortal Technique Jade Scroll from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect.

Spotting Lin Xuankong at the Guangqing Immortal Hall guest hall's doorway, the Strongest Immortal Lord who ventured far to fetch treasures for him revealed a flicker of astonishment on her lovely visage,

"Oh, Lin Xuankong, how did you sense my return?

Having attained the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm and powered up the near-Fifth-Grade Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact you personally forged, my pace is blinding—I cross millions of miles per breath!"

Lin Xuankong merely smiled in silence,

As his Strongest Immortal Lord little lover headed to the Seventy-two Cave Perilous Land for Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits and the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect's full Immortal Technique Jade Scrolls, how could he idly allow Guang Yu'er to face dangers solo!

Right before his Strongest Immortal Lord little lover departed, Lin Xuankong had purposefully invoked his mastered Nine Gates Celestial Eye, affixing a crimson beam upon Guang Yu'er's form!

Thus, no matter her destination, Lin Xuankong shared her perceptions fully, effortlessly discerning her safety or peril post Seventy-Two Cave Perilous Land visit!

Though Lin Xuankong's current-realm Nine Gates Celestial Eye lagged far behind the ancient Profound Yin Demon Sect old monsters' Nine Gates Celestial Demon, honed over hundreds of thousands of years—failing to track Demon Child Gang Bone or fellow Profound Yin Demon Sect devils—it evaded detection entirely when tracking his Strongest Immortal Lord little lover!

Yet,

The Nine Gates Celestial Demon remained, ultimately, the Profound Yin Demon Sect's formidable demonic art,

Naturally, Lin Xuankong had no plans to reveal to his cherished little lover, the Strongest Immortal Lord, that he had secretly practiced the demon arts of the Profound Yin Demon Sect!

Looking toward Guang Yu'er, he shook his head with a grin before warning, "Don't casually trigger those Thirty-six Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits, lest the fruit shell potency of the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit activates once more—with so many fruit shell potencies from the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits combined, even a powerhouse at the Strongest Immortal Lord level like you might collapse and faint!"

After hearing Lin Xuankong's words,

A fresh look of astonishment appeared involuntarily on the face of the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er,

With curiosity, she began circling Lin Xuankong,

"How are you so certain that the claims of Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, hold true? And how do you know I've already discovered them?

I originally believed that drawing nearer to you would help me grasp your nature better, yet right up to this moment, you seem increasingly enigmatic to me! Lin Xuankong, oh Lin Xuankong, what other secrets do you conceal, and how many more shocks will you deliver?"

Watching his Strongest Immortal Lord little lover display such keen interest, Lin Xuankong chuckled softly, then nodded toward the nearby Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Sima Ling, "Given his present state, how could he dare deceive us!"

The Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er glanced over at the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Sima Ling, as he weakly uttered:

"Immortal Lord Guang must have already located those Thirty-Six Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits, along with the Immortal Technique Jade Scrolls of our Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect. With that, I can finally rest easy, trusting that Immortal Lord Guang will honor the earlier promise made to me. Thus, this old man Sima Ling can depart without regrets!"

At these words, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er slightly knitted her brows, while Lin Xuankong also scowled at Sima Ling and declared:

"The details you shared earlier regarding the Supreme Origin Realm, plus the intel on the Profound Yin Demon Sect members, if proven genuine, could dramatically sway the course of this Immortal Demon War! Furthermore, should the information prove reliable, it would enable countless powerhouses and Earth Immortals from our Immortal Realm Human Race to ready themselves ahead of time, securing a resounding triumph for the Immortal Realm Human Race in this battle!

Should events unfold favorably, you could be seen as redeeming yourself with a major meritorious deed this time... Truthfully, I don't have to end your life!"

Hearing this, a glimmer ignited in the previously dull eyes of the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Sima Ling,

Lin Xuankong pressed on, "That said, you committed grave sins in service to the Profound Yin Demon Sect. Though you never detailed your actions, I'm confident they secretly harmed the Immortal Realm Human Race profoundly, or else the Third Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect wouldn't place such faith in you!

Thus, while I can forgive your life this once, the cultivation you've amassed over tens of thousands of years must be stripped away!"

His words had barely landed,

When Lin Xuankong directed a finger at the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Sima Ling,

In that instant,

Cold vapor enveloped the frozen form of the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Sima Ling, transforming it anew into a rigid ice statue, which then exploded with a resounding crash into scattered shards across the floor!

Yet, this differed from the prior fate of the twenty-seven Ninth Grade Perfection Level Earth Immortals from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect,

Now, though the robust immortal physique of the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Sima Ling, lay fully demolished, the Earth Immortal Golden Core forged over seventy to eighty thousand years merely cracked, refusing to disintegrate with his mighty immortal body!

With a gentle wave, Lin Xuankong drew the fallen Sima Ling golden core from the ground, letting it rise and settle into his grasp,

Observing the lustrous, spherical Earth Immortal Golden Core cradled in his palm, Lin Xuankong furrowed his brow and announced, "Your cultivation stands utterly destroyed now, your immortal core fractured, with only a remnant soul enduring. To tread the Immortal Path once more, you'll need to reform your divine soul and enter a mortal womb! Still, this fate surpasses the shattering of your divine soul and memoryless reincarnation!"

Once he finished speaking, Lin Xuankong stowed Sima Ling's golden core away in his Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch, before shifting his gaze toward the waist of the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er.
