Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1087 - 453: Lifespan Greatly Increased, Visit from the Demon Race (Part 2)

On that day,

Sitting cross-legged in his cavern inside the New Luo Water Array, Lin Xuankong briefly pulled back his Heart Spirit from cultivation to sense around, murmuring softly:

"Inside the New Luo Water Array, almost a full year has elapsed. By my reckoning, the outside world approaches the three-day deadline that the Profound Yin Demon Sect gave to the Immortal Realm Human Race, and now the Immortal Realm Human Race must clash head-on with the Profound Yin Demon Sect!"

Right then, a deep voice from the Cyan-forehead Qilin stationed outside the cave rang out, "Young Master, Master Immortal Lord Luoshui reports that the Clan Leaders from the Four Great Spirit Beast Clans of the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, together with numerous Demon Kings, have reached the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's territory, while the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Sect forces march toward the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect as well!"

Hearing the Cyan-forehead Qilin's report, Lin Xuankong's eyebrows knit together faintly, and with a flicker of his form, he traversed the cave's thousand-feet corridor, emerging at the doorway.

In mid-flight,

Lin Xuankong's Heart Spirit shifted to the lines of grand purple-gold characters displayed in his Brain Mansion,

Lin Xuankong: Remaining Lifespan of thirty-six million ninety-eight thousand six hundred seventy-two years and two hundred sixty-nine days.

Life Plate: [Vigorous in Old Age]

First Talent of Life Plate: [Old and Wise] ??? Talent: Enhances cultivation speed based on age. At the age of one hundred seventy-six, cultivation speed increases by one hundred seventy-six times.

Second Talent of Life Plate: [Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters] Rule Talent: Continuously gains insight and proficiency in the cultivation technique and skills of wives and children. Wives and children benefit from the influence of your Life Plate, increasing cultivation speed by forty times (the Life Plate can cancel the target’s influence).

Third Talent of Life Plate: [Bullying the Old and Weak] Rule Talent: Enhances the effect of magic, arrays, spiritual beasts, etc., based on the opponent’s age and cultivation realm. The lower the opponent’s cultivation realm compared to one’s own, the stronger the effect of magic, arrays, spiritual beasts, etc. Double the effect for each tier lower. The older the opponent is compared to oneself, the stronger the effect of magic, arrays, spiritual beasts, etc. Double the effect for each thousand years older.

Fourth Talent of Life Plate: [Piercing the Mountain and Hitting the Ox] Rule Talent: Penetrates all of the opponent’s defenses, penetrating battle armor, immortal armor, magic, arrays, and other defenses, causing magic, arrays, spiritual beasts, etc., to achieve one hundred percent attack effect on the enemy.

Fifth Talent of Life Plate: [Growing Stronger with Age] Rule Talent: After activation, increases the defense ability of the body and Divine Soul based on age for a certain period of time. Currently, at the age of one hundred seventy-six, defense ability increases by one hundred seventy-six times, duration of seventeen breaths, and requires seventeen days to recover after each activation.

Sixth Talent of Life Plate: [Return to Hometown] Rule Talent: After activation, consumes a certain amount of Lifespan instantly, traversing vast distances to return to a predetermined location instantly. Currently, at the age of one hundred seventy-six, the instantaneous traversal distance is one million seven hundred sixty thousand miles, and each activation of this talent consumes a lifespan equivalent to seventeen years.

[Immortal Yuan: 411000000000/411000000000]

[Realm: Early Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm 27887/1000000]

...

Gazing upon the figures of his remaining Lifespan shown in the Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate,

Lin Xuankong felt his confidence surge even more for the massive battle about to engulf the whole Immortal Realm!

Thirty-six million ninety-eight thousand six hundred seventy-two years and two hundred sixty-nine days... such an astonishing span exceeding thirty million years would have been beyond Lin Xuankong's wildest dreams when he first entered this Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. Back then, mere dozens of days remained in his lifespan, yet after more than a century, far from perishing from old age, he had stretched it to this horrifying extent!

Above all,

the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s Demon Child Gang Bone wields the Celestial Demon Power from the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch’s Ancient Celestial Demon, and its Curse Technique—the Curse of Time—undoubtedly strikes in profoundly strange ways, yet against a Lifespan limit surpassing thirty million years, it poses scant danger to Lin Xuankong!

Naturally, the primary cause behind such an extraordinarily long Lifespan lies exactly in those thirty-six Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits and the formidable reverse effect of the Old and Wise talent within Lin Xuankong’s Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate!

Normally,

Although the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit holds the fourth rank among the exceedingly scarce Spirit Fruits of the Immortal Realm, its Lifespan-boosting effect reaches no more than a few thousand years at best!

For cultivators of the Immortal Realm Human Race, even consuming every one of the thirty-six Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruits would extend their Lifespan by no more than several hundred thousand years at most. Yet for Lin Xuankong, it propelled his Lifespan ceiling straight to tens of millions of years!

Moreover,

Driven by the medicinal potency of the Nine-Striped Bodhi Fruit,

Lin Xuankong’s power surges forward at a blistering pace, with both the Immortal Yuan reserves in his Life Plate and his Strongest Immortal Lord realm advancing dramatically in just a hundred days!

The sole regret lies in the brevity of time—just three hundred days. Even as Lin Xuankong pushed his cultivation to the utmost during this mere three hundred days, amplified by the Old and Wise reversal effect, it equated to nearly two centuries of training for him...

Yet two hundred years amounts to scarcely a blip for any Strongest Immortal Lord among the Immortal Realm Human Race!

At Lin Xuankong’s current cultivation velocity, a mere hundred years in the outside world could propel him to the late stage of Strongest Immortal Lord, making him the sole figure across the ages to hit that peak in just hundreds of years!

"Young Master, before entering seclusion for cultivation, you instructed Qing and me to reach out to the Elder Clan Leader and see if we could connect with the Black Tortoise Race’s Elder Clan Leader to exchange Immortal Artifacts for essence blood from their mighty warriors. Now that the Black Tortoise Race warriors have arrived, they ought to meet you right away!"

The White-forehead Qilin, striding alongside Lin Xuankong, declared.

After those words, it furrowed its brow toward Lin Xuankong and added hesitantly:

"Young Master, Demon King Essence Blood holds vital importance for every Demon King, as it profoundly influences their power. Losing it demands centuries of cultivation, bolstered by vast quantities of Spirit Fruits and Elixirs, to replenish.

Your need for Demon King Essence Blood might prove tricky this time, since the many Demon King elders from Unbounded Mountain arrived after pledging earlier to aid Human Race powerhouses against the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s fiends. Handing over a hefty amount of essence blood to you could severely hamper those Black Tortoise Race Demon King elders’ strength!"

Before Lin Xuankong could respond, Cyan-forehead Qilin’s eyes bulged wide as it shook its head vigorously, proclaiming:

"Sister Bai, that’s not right!

With our Young Master here, and scores of Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts from Young Master now wielded by the Immortal Realm Human Race’s Strongest Immortal Lords, victory in this looming Immortal Demon War for the Immortal Realm Human Race side is virtually assured!

We just need to watch the Strongest Immortal Lord elders of the Immortal Realm Human Race crush those Profound Yin Demon Sect fiends with overwhelming force! No assistance from Unbounded Mountain Demon King elders is required in the fight!

In my view, those Unbounded Mountain Demon King elders visiting the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect are probably just there to spectate and cheer! As for Young Master seeking essence blood from the Black Tortoise Race’s many Demon King elders, those Black Tortoise Race Demon King seniors will surely consent and offer it immediately! Haha, how could the veteran Demon Kings of Black Tortoise deny Young Master’s request!"

"The blood issue is straightforward enough, but if this Immortal Demon War were truly that simple, I’d absolutely wish for triumph!" White-forehead Qilin creased its brow deeply.

Though deeply awed by Young Master’s artifact forging prowess, formation mastery, and myriad wondrous abilities, this impending clash unites myriad Human Race cultivators, Spirit Platform Buddha Realm titans, Unbounded Mountain Demon Kings, and Profound Yin Demon Sect fiends from across the entire Immortal Realm in a cataclysmic showdown!

Scouring all records of Luo Water Immortal Sect, White-forehead Qilin found no mention of an Immortal Demon War on such a colossal scale in any ancient tome!

Against a conflict of this magnitude, can personal might and a handful of Immortal Artifacts truly tip the scales?

Though White-forehead Qilin kept silent, anxiety churned fiercely in its heart!
