Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1093 - 456: I Can’t Join the Great Battle? (2)

"Come, sit next to me. We old folks are discussing the arrangements for the Immortal Demon War. If Lin Xiaoyou has any suggestions, feel free to speak!"

The speaker was a white-robed man with a scholar’s scarf, radiating elegance and warmth—he was none other than Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, who shockingly beckoned Lin Xuankong to join him at his side.

When Sect Leader Qiu from the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect uttered those words,

all the attending Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grade Earth Immortals, every Ninth-Grade Top Demon King of Boundaryless Mountain, nearly all the top Immortal Lords from different sects, and even the haughtily superior Immortal Lord Feiyun, stared at Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect in utter disbelief.

Right there in this grand council chamber today,

Sect Leader Qiu occupied the prime spot at the center of the elevated platform, where a opulent long throne carved entirely from Profound Truth Jade awaited. That single throne had required Profound Truth Jade materials sufficient to forge hundreds of thousands of ordinary Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade stones, revealing the immense prestige of this unassuming yet affable Sect Leader Qiu from the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect!

Given Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect’s lofty status and formidable power, no human powerhouse or demon powerhouse in attendance dared to slight him!

Even the most remarkable top Immortal Lords among the Immortal Realm’s Human Race—like Elder Qiu, the premier Grand Elder of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, the loftily arrogant Immortal Lord Feiyun, and Lin Xuankong’s master, Immortal Lord Luoshui—sat respectfully in the second row, unwilling to claim a place beside Sect Leader Qiu in the front row!

Similarly, among the millions of demon clans from Boundless Mountain, the leaders of the Four Great Spirit Beast Clans—the Cyan Dragon Clan Elder, Fire Phoenix Clan Elder, Black Tortoise Clan Elder, and Qilin Clan Elder—humbly took seats in the second row, not presuming to equal the supreme figure of the Immortal World!

Nevertheless,

right now,

Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, the paramount leader of the Immortal Realm Human Race, cordially urged Lin Xuankong to share his Profound Truth Jade throne and stand as an equal to the Immortal World’s greatest authority!

Without the presence of top Immortal Lords from myriad Immortal Sects and peak Immortal Lord-level demon clan leaders from various Demon Races in the hall, the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grade Earth Immortals below, along with the Ninth-Grade Top Demon Kings, would surely have exclaimed in shock!

Confronted by Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect’s warm overture at that instant, Lin Xuankong faintly arched his brows.

Thanks to his Supreme Divine Soul Realm and mastery of the mighty Nine Gates Celestial Eye demon technique from the Profound Yin Demon Sect, he detected the faintest shifts in Sect Leader Qiu’s facial expressions during that fleeting instant.

Merging this insight with Sect Leader Qiu’s own Supreme Divine Soul Realm and his famed mastery of illusions, Lin Xuankong instantly realized that his Guangqing Illusion Technique, perfected to a level undetectable by even Immortal Lord Qiaan Yuan and Immortal Lord Kunyuan of Guangqing Immortal Sect, was utterly transparent to Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect!

Evidently, Sect Leader Qiu from the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect had pierced through to his actual Immortal Path Realm at the early phase of peak Immortal Lord strength... Yet from his attitude, it was clear he had no plans to publicly unveil Lin Xuankong’s hidden truth!

After a brief reflection,

Lin Xuankong offered a slight bow toward Sect Leader Qiu. "Elder Qiu, with your noble character and matchless might, you’ve forged tens of thousands of years of glory for the Immortal Realm Human Race and forged peace single-handedly between the Immortal Realm Human Race and Boundaryless Mountain Demon Race—how dare I, Kong, presume to sit equally with you!"

With those words, Lin Xuankong directly approached his master Immortal Lord Luoshui’s position and positioned himself standing behind Immortal Lord Luoshui.

Witnessing this, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu gave Lin Xuankong a gentle nod, a smile playing on her lips, evidently pleased and heartened by her disciple’s modesty and decorum.

However, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu remained unaware then that her cherished little True Disciple, whom she believed still required her guidance and safeguarding, had shockingly advanced to a cultivation Realm approaching her own. If she knew, her astonishment would eclipse even Sect Leader Qiu’s!

Sect Leader Qiu from the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, observing Lin Xuankong's resolute position behind Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, had no alternative but to concede. He returned Lin Xuankong's bow and then took his seat once more.

Nevertheless, Sect Leader Qiu's mind was still overwhelmed with shock.

A short while later,

the gathered Demon Kings, Earth Immortals, and top Immortal Lords continued their talks and preparations for the impending Immortal Demon War. Originally, the strategy crafted by the mightiest Immortal Lords relied on the top Immortal Lords and human powerhouses of the Immortal Realm Human Race. But now, with Ninth-Grade Top Demon Kings and clan leaders from Boundaryless Mountain Demon Race in attendance, plus numerous Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas from Lingtai Buddhist Sect, the strategy and plans definitely required revision!

Over two hours passed before everything was discussed and the strategy finalized!

Now, bolstered by strongmen from Boundaryless Mountain Demon Race and various Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas of Lingtai Buddhist Sect, the powerhouses of Immortal Realm Human Race—including Sect Leader Qiu of Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect—felt far more assured. They settled on a three-pronged encirclement strategy, designed to cripple the Demon Army of Profound Yin Demon Sect so severely that recovery might take hundreds of thousands of years!

Naturally, the recently promoted strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er overstated details about Ancient Celestial Demon Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch’s Curse of Time while addressing the top Immortal Lords, demon tribe leaders, and Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas. She omitted any mention of the betrayal by Ninth-Grade Perfect Earth Immortals from Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, led by Second Elder Sima Ling.

The details on the Curse of Time left the top Immortal Lords, demon tribe leaders, and Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas from Immortal Realm Human Race, Demon Race, and Lingtai Buddhist Sect somewhat cautious and alert. Still, it failed to shake the determination of these three groups to devastate the Demon Army of Profound Yin Demon Sect!

Such assurance stemmed in part from the alliance between Immortal Realm Human Race, Boundaryless Mountain Demon Race, and Lingtai Buddhist Sect, which nearly doubled the might of Immortal Realm Human Race!

Moreover, Lin Xuankong's major donation of dozens of Third-Grade Immortal Artifacts, plus abundant Second-Grade and First-Grade Immortal Artifacts, and scores of Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, rapidly boosted the strength of Immortal Realm Human Race, Boundaryless Mountain Demon Race, and Lingtai Buddhist Sect!

Thanks to these enhancements, despite any gains Profound Yin Demon Sect might have from the Curse of Time, Sect Leader Qiu of Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, leaders of the Four Great Spirit Beast Clans from Boundaryless Mountain, Great Accomplishment Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, and Great Accomplishment Jade Bright Bodhisattva from Lingtai Buddhist Sect all agreed their side held the upper hand!

Yet,

what left Lin Xuankong a bit annoyed was,

a key resolution emerged from this war council!

Even with confidence from Immortal Realm Human Race, Boundaryless Mountain Demon Race, and Lingtai Buddhist Sect, two contingency plans were outlined. Each faction assigned a strongest Immortal Lord-level expert to safeguard their prodigiously talented young Earth Immortals, Demon Kings, and Bodhisattvas, escorting them ahead to Wine Immortal Sect—located three billion miles from Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!

Immortal Realm Human Race selected the fresh strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er of Guangqing Immortal Sect; Boundaryless Mountain sent the Elder Clan Leader of Qilin Race; and Lingtai Buddhist Sect chose Great Accomplishment Jade Bright Bodhisattva!

As stated by Sect Leader Qiu of Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, Cyan Dragon Race Elder Clan Leader, and Great Accomplishment Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, their side possessed the edge, and they would battle at full strength while guarding against surprises. If the Immortal Demon War ended in loss for Immortal Realm Human Race, shielding these exceptional young talents would secure a vital inheritance for the future of Immortal Realm Human Race, Boundaryless Mountain Demon Race, and Lingtai Buddhist Sect!

What truly irked Lin Xuankong a little,

The shocking revelation is that his name appears on the list of talented youngsters from the Immortal Realm's Human Race!

This signifies that, following the discussions among the many top Immortal Lord-level powerhouses assembled here, he must depart from Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect to join Wine Immortal Sect alongside Guang Yu’er and the others, thus unable to take part in the Immortal Demon War!

"I’ve prepared so much, yet I’m not permitted to join this Immortal Demon War???"
