Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1109 - 464: Hundred-Layer Grand Array, Demon Sect’s Rising Power (Part 2)

At that very moment, the exceptionally talented youths from numerous sects and clans finally began to emerge from their profound astonishment.

Leading the charge in their recovery was the Cyan-forehead Qilin, who couldn't suppress a resounding roar, followed by his hearty laughter. "Hahaha, our Young Master truly lives up to his reputation! I had long informed Sister Bai that once the Young Master emerged from his decades of secluded cultivation, he would undoubtedly make a spectacular display. Although, even I could never have fathought that the Young Master would devise such an ingenious strategy! Hahaha, this is precisely the Hundred and One-fold Luo Water Array, utterly eclipsing the Thousand Cranes Array of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!"

While the Cyan-forehead Qilin was swept up in his excitement, the White-forehead Qilin beside him mirrored his exhilaration.

Then, the esteemed descendant Little Linglong, hailing from the formidable Cyan Dragon Race, gracefully ascended into the sky. Approaching the luminous barrier of the Luo Water Array overhead, she meticulously examined it. After a period of intense observation, she exclaimed with awe:

"Immortal Lin is simply beyond compare! Even back at Cyan Dragon Sacred Mountain, our Cyan Dragon Race boasts a Nine-Layered Clan Protection Array, meticulously established by the venerable Immortal Lord Luoshui Elder himself. Yet, upon scrutinizing the light membrane, the intricate array patterns, and the palpable fluctuations of this Luo Water Array before us, I can declare with absolute certainty that each individual layer of the Luo Water Array is no less than tenfold more potent than any standard Nine-Layered Sect Protection Array!

Hahaha, to even speak of the many layers of the Luo Water Array, just a solitary layer of it, were it to face an assault from a peak Immortal Lord-level powerhouse, would likely withstand the onslaught for at least a decade or eight years! With a hundred and one layers, even if the fiends from the Profound Yin Demon Sect were to launch an attack, after a millennium of relentless fighting, they would scarcely be able to breach half of the array!"

Little Linglong's remarkable display, as a beacon of talent from the Cyan Dragon Race, proved to be infectiously inspiring.

Consequently, other gifted descendants from various clans and immortal sects followed suit. Many took to the skies, drawing near the shimmering perimeter of the Luo Water Array's light membrane, and commenced their own intense scrutiny.

As they observed, universal admiration rippled through the crowd. Even the prodigious talents from the paramount immortal sects, such as the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, the Luo Water Immortal Sect, and the Guangqing Immortal Sect, were utterly astounded. Their discussions were laden with an undeniable consensus: each layer of the present Hundred and One-fold Luo Water Array was demonstrably superior, nearly ten times stronger, than the sect protection arrays of the most influential immortal sects!

Witnessing the awestruck expressions of these talented scions from diverse clans and sects,

Lin Xuankong harbored a private thought:

"Over the span of more than a century, while I have dedicated the majority of my efforts to advancing my Immortal Path Realm and perfecting the Guangqing Illusion Technique and the Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill, my proficiency in the Luo Water Array has, owing to the invaluable tutelage of my master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, reached a stage remarkably close to hers! The arrays meticulously crafted by my master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, are revered as the zenith of power in the current Immortal Realm; how could I, her humble disciple, possibly bring her any dishonor!

The defensive capabilities of these Luo Water Arrays are indeed, as the talented descendants from various sects have asserted, over ten times more formidable than the sect protection arrays of other top-tier immortal sects. This only accounts for the array's defensive prowess; when contrasted with the sect protection arrays of other immortal sects, the offensive might of the Luo Water Array is equally amplified tenfold! Furthermore, the Luo Water Array possesses unique attributes that render it unparalleled by the sect protection arrays found in other prominent immortal sects: its extraordinary capacity to manipulate the flow of Time!

It is simply that, with the impending major conflict looming on the horizon, the activation of the Luo Water Array's temporal manipulation effect necessitates an immense expenditure of energy. Consequently, these distinctive functionalities of the Luo Water Array have not yet been brought into play!"

As Lin Xuankong was lost in his internal reflections,

the elder clan leader of the Qilin Race let out a profound sigh. He then cupped his hands respectfully towards Lin Xuankong, stating:

"As the ancient adage wisely puts it, the younger generation often surpasses the old. In comparison to Immortal Lin, we seasoned individuals have indeed lagged behind considerably! Just moments ago, I labored diligently, hoping to instill confidence in the talented descendants from various immortal sects, achieving only minimal success. Yet, Immortal Lin's demonstration has utterly reassured every gifted descendant present! It's not merely these younger talents; even I, situated within this Hundred and One-fold Luo Water Array, feel an overwhelming sense of security!"

With hands clasped, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism offered a smile to Lin Xuankong.

"Had we known earlier that Immortal Lin had already prepared 3,600 Third Grade Immortal Artifacts and could arrange a hundred layers of Luo Water Array with a mere wave of his hand, then this task of safeguarding the talented descendants from various sects and clans wouldn’t require me and the Qilin Clan elder, Immortal Lord Guang. Immortal Lin alone here is sufficient to fend off the million-strong army of Profound Yin Demon Sect!"

"A single person able to obstruct a million-strong Demon Sect army!

Elder Jade Bright Bodhisattva, Yu’er wholeheartedly agrees with your statement!

As for the Qilin Race elder clan leader’s opinion about Immortal Lin that the younger generation surpasses the previous one, this little immortal also agrees very much!"

Upon hearing the esteemed elder clan leader of the Qilin Race and the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva lavishing such praise upon Lin Xuankong, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er felt immense pleasure and immediately voiced his agreement repeatedly.

Hearing Guang Yu’er’s words, Lin Xuankong found himself speechless. What was this talk of the younger generation surpassing the previous one? If anyone else had said it, it might have been fine, but coming from Yu’er, it felt quite peculiar! How exactly was he, the younger generation, supposed to be surpassing the older generation?

As the conversation unfolded,

the previously tense atmosphere atop the First Spirit Peak of the Wine Immortal Sect had entirely dissipated.

Whether they were the talented descendants from myriad immortal sects and clans or the Earth Immortals and disciples of the Wine Immortal Sect, their faces were now alight with hope. Some of the more impetuous Earth Immortals and talented descendants from various clans had already begun to anticipate the expressions of the demon army from the Profound Yin Demon Sect upon witnessing the Hundred and One-fold Luo Water Array when they arrived.

....

Approximately thirty thousand miles distant from the Wine Immortal Sect, vast, billowing dark Liuyun clouds were sweeping in from the horizon.

Each cloud bore burly figures clad in black battle armor – the demons of the Profound Yin Demon Sect. Those with highly condensed demonic qi tended to float higher in the sky, while those with less potent demonic qi fluctuations drifted at mid-air.

However, within this seemingly endless army of flying demons, even those with the weakest demonic qi fluctuations possessed power exceeding First Grade. First Grade Realm demons of the Profound Yin Demon Sect were relatively scarce; the majority were powerful Second and Third Grade demons, numbering in the hundreds of thousands!

The sheer magnitude of these “Earth Immortal-level” demons far surpassed what any clan within Boundaryless Mountain could muster. Even within the Human Race’s premier immortal attainment, the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, it would be impossible to assemble such a formidable contingent of Earth Immortal-level powerhouses through their own strength alone. This truly underscored why the Profound Yin Demon Sect had reigned supreme over the Immortal Realm for countless ages, relentlessly oppressing numerous clans to the brink of suffocation!

As this immense demon army progressed, passing over several human cities, numerous demons descended from the cloud tops, swiftly plundering them. Any human cultivators who had not managed to evacuate were immediately ensnared by demonic qi and consumed. The demons of the Profound Yin Demon Sect spared no one, devouring not only fleeing low-tier spiritual beasts but also every chicken, dog, cow, sheep, flying insect, bird, and sparrow within the cities with their destructive demonic qi...

Every human city in their path fell into an eerie silence after the swift passage of this demon army, devoid of the slightest trace of life. Not even the chirping of cicadas or the croaking of frogs could be heard.

The savage visages of the demons, having devoured a multitude of living beings, bore expressions of distinct satisfaction.

At this particular moment,

within the central ranks of this vast demon sect army,

twenty mighty demons, each comparable in size to a small mountain, rode upon long carpets woven from the fur of an unknown creature. They meditated with closed eyes, seemingly indifferent to the human cities and the hidden low-tier cultivators that captivated the lesser demons!

Yet, as these twenty colossal demons traversed over a mountain ridge adorned with lush green pines, one amongst them, possessing seventy-two eyes, suddenly opened two of its tightly shut demonic eyes. It cast its gaze towards a specific point within the mountain ridge, and instantaneously, a torrent of demonic qi erupted from its monstrous form!
