The Celestial Eye Demon Lord launched a sneak attack on Jade Bright Bodhisattva with a First-Grade Demon Artifact, transforming it into a black skull. Though the skull’s teeth bit into Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s neck, dense Buddhist secret patterns blocked the assault. Jade Bright Bodhisattva then unleashed a powerful counterattack, repelling the demon artifact and forcing the Celestial Eye Demon Lord to halt its return.

A collective sigh of awe rippled through the observers; the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva was indeed a legendary figure, renowned throughout the Immortal Realm for a hundred thousand years. His Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique alone, with its formidable defensive capabilities, was enough to place him among the top five most powerful Immortal Lords in the entire realm. While the others present were considered influential in their own sects and clans, they paled in comparison to the Bodhisattva, the disparity being as vast as the heavens and earth!

Whispers arose among the talented younger generation, with some admitting that they likely wouldn't survive even the initial stage of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation if they were to face it!

Even Lin Xuankong, whose defensive prowess was nearly unparalleled, regarded the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique cultivated by the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva with admiration, tinged with a hint of envy!

Hmm... If the opportunity arises in the future, perhaps I can engage in discussion with the esteemed Little Bodhisattva Galin. I wish to explore the possibility of learning the superior Buddhist Technique of the Spirit Platform Buddhism without formally joining their ranks. My hope is that Little Bodhisattva Galin or other eminent Bodhisattvas of the Spirit Platform Buddhism might grant my request!

Should I succeed in learning this exceptionally defensive Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, and combine it with the myriad talents inherent in my Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate, I am confident I could swiftly elevate this superior Buddhist Technique of the Spirit Platform Buddhism to the Perfection Realm!

In such a scenario, when I eventually face my final Celestial Tribulation, regardless of its fearsome nature, even if it surpasses the intensity of this current Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, my chances of successful transcendence would be significantly enhanced!

These thoughts filled Lin Xuankong with a burgeoning warmth in his heart.

However, considering the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's current arduous struggle to overcome this ultimate tribulation, it is hardly an opportune moment to approach Little Bodhisattva Galin. Otherwise, Lin Xuankong would have initiated that conversation much earlier!

After all, despite Lin Xuankong's current mastery of various secular and Immortal Techniques, he conspicuously lacks a defensive Immortal Technique or Buddhist Technique comparable to the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. If he could attain mastery of this particular Buddhist Technique and integrate it with the Luo Water Array… then within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, no tribulation would dare inspire fear in Lin Xuankong. In fact, it might be the very origin consciousness of this world, coalesced from the remains of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, that should tremble!

As Lin Xuankong's anticipation soared,

the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva managed, just barely, to utilize his Golden Shield to deflect the barrage of hundreds of golden-silver needles.

Yet, unlike the Celestial Eye Demon Lord who commanded an abundance of First-Grade treasures, one of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's Golden Shields fractured completely, dissolving into countless motes of golden light that dispersed across the heavens!

Of course,

perhaps due to his sole reliance on his intrinsic power to navigate this tribulation,

at this very moment, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's Buddha's Light seemed to radiate with intensified brilliance, and the emanations from his colossal Buddha Body appeared more potent!

In stark contrast to the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, who had employed numerous First-Grade Demon Artifacts to weather the assault, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, following this exchange, had evidently achieved greater advancements in his Buddha Body and Immortal Essence. The Celestial Eye Demon Lord, though still exuding a formidable demonic aura, showed no discernible improvement compared to his state before the attack!

Observing this significant divergence,

Lin Xuankong couldn't help but knit his brows slightly. He turned to his companion and employed voice transmission to query his cherished Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er:

"Both have weathered a wave of the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, yet why did the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva appear to rapidly grow stronger within the tribulation, while the strength of the Celestial Eye Demon Lord has undergone no such Metamorphosis? Typically, when one undergoes a tribulation, is it not after the final onslaught of the Celestial Tribulation that the aura of the Supreme Origin Realm manifests, thereby transforming the spirit and Immortal Body of the individual transcending it?"

With the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva having successfully navigated the immediate onslaught before them, Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er's spirits seemed to lift somewhat.

Upon receiving Lin Xuankong's transmitted inquiry, her delicate eyebrows arched slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a chuckle:

"Haha, Xuankong, are you beginning to harbor concerns about your reputation simply because you are now exceedingly renowned throughout our Immortal Realm! If you possess questions, why not pose them openly, rather than resorting to voice transmission to ask me such things!"

Lin Xuankong: ....

"Damn girl, wait until I’ve dealt with these Profound Yin Demon Sect demons in front of me, see if I don’t take you into the Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm and use all sorts of techniques to take care of you!" With a bit of embarrassment, Lin Xuankong glared at Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er before using voice transmission with a fierce demeanor.

"Hehehe, I won’t enter your Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm!"

Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er saw Lin Xuankong’s embarrassment, couldn’t help but chuckle softly again before using voice transmission:

"Normally, the Earth Immortal’s tribulation waits until the last wave of Celestial Tribulation attack before channeling the aura of the Supreme Origin Realm, thereby enhancing the strength of the Immortal Body and personal power. However, what Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva is crossing now is the final Celestial Tribulation!

This final Celestial Tribulation encountered by Earth Immortals, Demon Lords, Demon Kings, and Bodhisattvas in the Immortal Realm is undoubtedly different,

According to my memory from various records of the Guangqing Immortal Sect, descriptions state all final Celestial Tribulations, including the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation in front of us, these attacks of the final Celestial Tribulation actually contain threads of Upper Realm power, which are sensed during the resistance against the Celestial Tribulation by Strongest Immortal Lords, allowing them to perceive the technique, change the Immortal Body, and refine the Immortal Essence! Of course, if they can cross the final wave of Celestial Tribulation, it becomes an opportunity sought by every cultivator in the Immortal Realm – an immense transformation of the Immortal Body, enabling one to follow the tribulation cloud and ascend into the Supreme Immortal Realm!

During the attack of the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation just now,

Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva relied on his Immortal Essence, Buddha Body, spiritual will, to face it directly, enabling him to evidently absorb a thread of Upper Realm aura, gaining another leap in strength!

The Celestial Eye Demon Lord, however, relied on lots of Demon Artifacts to complete the tribulation resistance; as a result, by using external objects, the growth is slightly limited, almost imperceptible!

Of course,

Since the final Celestial Tribulation is the last tribulation faced by every cultivator in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, and the strongest tribulation that might occur within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm,

So, most cultivators, whether they are Immortal Realm Human Race Strongest Immortal Lords, old Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, or Clan Leader-level Demon Kings of the Boundaryless Mountain, or Buddhist Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism, almost cannot rely on their own Immortal Body, Demon Body, Immortal Essence, spiritual will to forcefully overcome the Celestial Tribulation!

Throughout history, in all the records I’ve read over millions of years, there hasn’t been any Immortal Realm Human Race Strongest Immortal, old Demon of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, Clan Leader-level Demon King of the Boundaryless Mountain, Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism, who could purely rely on their own strength, completely without using external objects, to cross the final Celestial Tribulation; they nearly all used some Immortal Artifacts, Demon Artifacts, Buddhist Spiritual Treasures! Just now, didn’t Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva also activate his Glazed Demon-Slaying Pestle!

Nonetheless, in various records written by the predecessors of my Guangqing Immortal Lord, they were very sure, if any Earth Immortal of the Human Race, Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva, Clan Leader-level Demon King, could completely rely on themselves without using external treasures to cross the final Celestial Tribulation, they would definitely lay down a very strong foundation during the final Celestial Tribulation, and when they achieve the Celestial Immortal Realm in the future, they would also become extremely powerful Celestial Immortals!

According to speculation from various predecessors, even among Celestial Immortals, Celestial Demons, Celestial Demons, and Great Buddhas ascending to the Upper Realm, there would be considerable differences! After all, Mortal Tier cultivators are like this, Earth Immortals are like this, Celestial Immortals would naturally be like this too! Thus, some predecessors of my Guangqing Immortal Sect have also tried to not use Immortal Artifacts, Spiritual Treasures, Arrays, etc., and rely entirely on their own power to cross the final Celestial Tribulation."
