"I'm just curious, when the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva confronts this Celestial Eye Demon Lord, who will ultimately secure the victory?"
"Given that the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race managed to shatter the Demon Technique of the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, I surmise that the esteemed Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva should also possess the capability to counteract this Celestial Eye Demon Lord's formidable Demon Technique!"
Still reeling from the encounter, the Earth Immortals of the Wine Immortal Sect, alongside the young prodigies from various sects and clans, engaged in hushed discussions. They spoke with a mixture of awe and astonishment regarding the terrifying nature of the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's Demon Technique and the sheer potency of the Elder Clan Leader's Qilin True Words!
These celebrated young talents from diverse sects and clans have witnessed a multitude of events, including clashes involving powerhouses at the Strongest Immortal Lord level. However, in comparison to the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race and the Celestial Eye Demon Lord—both top-tier cultivators in the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm—they were profoundly struck by the realization that even among such elite figures, there exist discernible disparities in strength!
Moreover, having personally endured the formidable Demon Technique unleashed by the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, these Earth Immortals and cultivators found themselves harboring a degree of apprehension concerning the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva from Spirit Platform Buddhism!
Observing the Earth Immortals and cultivators whispering amongst themselves, having shaken off the residual influence of the Profound Yin Demon Sect's Celestial Eye Demon Lord's Demon Technique, Lin Xuankong felt a sense of ease. His gaze then turned towards the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race, his eyes reflecting a trace of admiration.
In the domains of Artifact Refining, Array Formations, and the destructive might of Immortal Techniques, Lin Xuankong, now residing in the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm, harbored no doubt about his ability to effortlessly surpass the Elder of the Qilin Race. He was confident that, even within a brief span, he could inflict considerable harm upon the Qilin Race elder in these specific areas.
However, every approach possesses its unique advantages and disadvantages. Regarding the capacity to instantly awaken cultivators ensnared by the Demon Technique, Lin Xuankong acknowledged that this was a feat he could not yet accomplish!
At this precise moment, two figures gracefully descended, alighting beside the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race. These were the Cyan-forehead Qilin and the White-forehead Qilin.
The Cyan-forehead Qilin directed an anxious glance at the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race, its brow furrowed. "Clan Leader Grandfather, employing the Qilin True Words exacts a substantial toll on the Qilin Race's bloodline power, especially when applying it to tens of thousands of cultivators! You are growing older, Clan Leader Grandfather, and your bloodline shows signs of decline. Why would you casually invoke such large-scale Qilin True Words, which drain bloodline power so intensely?"
The White-forehead Qilin, a touch of worry etched on its features, looked towards its Elder Clan Leader. It then gently channeled a trickle of its Immortal Yuan. Instantly, several Spirit Fruits materialized from the Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch adorning its waist, landing nearby the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race.
"Clan Leader Grandfather, these are the Qilin Spirit Fruits you specifically entrusted to me years ago when we departed from the Qilin Sacred Mountain. They are exceptionally effective at replenishing the Qilin Race's bloodline power. However, neither Little Qing nor I have faced any significant battles that compromised our bloodline in recent years! Clan Leader Grandfather, please consume these Qilin Spirit Fruits quickly to prevent an excessive depletion of your bloodline power!"
What caused a measure of frustration for the Cyan-forehead Qilin and the White-forehead Qilin was the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race's decisive refusal.
Upon hearing their words, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race decisively shook his head. He then cast a tender gaze upon the Cyan-forehead Qilin and the White-forehead Qilin.
"These Spirit Fruits represent five of the ten Spirit Fruits harvested from our Qilin Sacred Mountain over millennia. It was my intention that you two youngsters would utilize them! Now that the Immortal Demon War has just commenced, the ensuing conflicts are bound to escalate in intensity. Therefore, you two little ones should safeguard these Qilin Spirit Fruits! As for myself, my old bones remain robust; invoking this Qilin True Words will not lead to my demise!"
The Cyan-forehead Qilin repeatedly shook its head, protesting, "Clan Leader Grandfather, please do not stubbornly insist!"
The Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race firmly shook his head once more. He then retrieved the Spirit Fruits presented before him, gently returning them to the Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch of the White-forehead Qilin.
The elder Qilin's countenance adopted a serious expression. "What is this? After accompanying Immortal Lord Luoshui and Fellow Daoist Lin out here for all these years, you two youngsters now refuse to heed your Clan Leader Grandfather?"
The Cyan-forehead Qilin and White-forehead Qilin exchanged looks of helplessness. The Cyan-forehead Qilin then turned to Lin Xuankong for assistance, pleading, "Young Master, no matter what Sister Bai and I say, Grandfather Clan Leader refuses to listen. Perhaps you could try persuading him? I'm certain Grandfather Clan Leader will heed your counsel!"
The White-forehead Qilin vigorously nodded in agreement beside him, gazing at Lin Xuankong with a hopeful countenance.
Although these two young prodigies of the Qilin Race had been separated from the Qilin Sacred Mountain for a considerable time, having resided with Immortal Lord Luoshui, Yaan Mingyu, and subsequently Lin Xuankong, it was evident they had never forgotten their Qilin heritage. Concerning their venerable Clan Leader, they naturally remained fiercely loyal, completely unwilling to see the Clan Leader's bloodline diminished!
Witnessing this, Lin Xuankong's gaze flickered subtly before he spoke with resolve:
"Elder Clan Leader, your profound righteousness in sacrificing your bloodline power to unleash the Qilin True Words and rescue these young prodigies from various Immortal Sects and clans is truly commendable! However, as you yourself mentioned, the conflict between Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva and the Celestial Eye Demon Lord has only just commenced. Conserving your strength is paramount for the safety of Qing and Bai!"
Seeing their Young Master actively intercede with persuasive words, the Cyan-forehead Qilin and White-forehead Qilin nodded repeatedly, their agreement absolute.
The White-forehead Qilin promptly retrieved the few Qilin Spirit Fruits from the Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch, presenting them to the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race.
The Elder Clan Leader initially moved to decline, but upon hearing Lin Xuankong's reasoning, his eyes showed a flicker of contemplation. A moment later, he let out a soft sigh, "Very well, Immortal Lin speaks with reason. In this impending battle, I will likely have to contend with the relentless onslaught of those damnable fiends from the Profound Yin Demon Sect!"
As the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race, one of the supreme leaders among the Four Great Spirit Beast Clans residing in Boundaryless Mountain, he was not one to alter his decisions lightly. Nevertheless, Lin Xuankong's words influenced this distinguished Elder Clan Leader, the wielder of the mighty Qilin True Words, to reconsider, underscoring the deep respect and admiration he held for Lin Xuankong as a burgeoning powerhouse.
Lin Xuankong approached, accepted the Qilin Spirit Fruits from the White-forehead Qilin, and placed them before the Elder Clan Leader. "Elder Clan Leader, please partake of the Qilin Spirit Fruits to carefully restore your bloodline power. Once Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva concludes her engagement with the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, the subsequent engagement will begin with Yu'Er and I joining forces!"
....
While their discussion unfolded,
beyond the protective veil of the Luo Water Array,
Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva and the Celestial Eye Demon Lord were already locked in a ferocious exchange of blows, each unleashing their utmost capabilities in their eagerness to vanquish the other!
The Celestial Eye Demon Lord had now unveiled all seventy-two of its Demon Eyes, their swirling irises fixated upon Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, unleashing an incessant barrage of potent spiritual assaults.
Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, in contrast, was intoning sacred Buddhist incantations.
Her hands maneuvered the Glazed Demon-Slaying Pestle, radiating a brilliant golden Buddha's Light. Upon formation, this light manifested with terrifying power, streaking towards the Celestial Eye Demon Lord. The incredibly concentrated Buddha's Light ceaselessly bombarded the enveloping Demon Qi surrounding the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, causing it to writhe and dissipate!
Critically, the terrifying spiritual attacks projected by the seventy-two Demon Eyes of the Celestial Eye Demon Lord appeared to have absolutely no impact on this formidable Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism!
One could easily surmise the profound depth of the Buddhist Techniques mastered by Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva. Despite not possessing the supreme intensity of Lin Xuankong's Divine Soul, she remained entirely unfettered by the Demon Techniques wielded by the Celestial Eye Demon Lord!
