Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva endures the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, his Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique proving immensely effective. Lin Xuankong observes that the Bodhisattva grows stronger during the tribulation, unlike the Celestial Eye Demon Lord who relied on external treasures. Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er clarifies that the final Celestial Tribulation allows direct absorption of Upper Realm power, benefiting those who face it with their own strength.

The ultimate heavenly tribulation actually harbors such profound secrets,!

Yet, contradicting this, no such accounts can be found within the extensive archives of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and the Luo Water Immortal Sect!

It appears that while the Strongest Immortal Lords of the Guangqing Immortal Sect may not rival the might of my master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, when measured against my own Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and Luo Water Immortal Sect, the Guangqing Immortal Sect's foundation stands as somewhat superior!

With this realization dawning, Lin Xuankong could not refrain from transmitting his voice, inquiring once more:

"Given this, among the esteemed predecessors of the Guangqing Immortal Sect who conquered the final heavenly tribulation through their own might, how many achieved success utilizing this specific approach?"

In response, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er displayed a fleeting expression of embarrassment upon her youthful countenance, before shaking her head with a discernible sense of dejection.

"According to the chronicles of our Guangqing Immortal Sect, numerous revered seniors who attempted to employ this method for traversing the final heavenly tribulation ultimately proved incapable of enduring the sixth or seventh onslaught of celestial power, succumbing directly within the tribulation itself!

Nevertheless, this outcome does not reflect shame upon our Guangqing Immortal Sect’s predecessors, nor does it signify any deficiency in their formidable strength.

For, as per our records, across the entirety of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, there has never emerged a Strongest Immortal Lord who purely relied upon their personal strength to overcome the final heavenly tribulation. Even those peerless prodigies possessing extraordinary innate talent among the Strongest Immortal Lords could not achieve this feat. The most formidable among them could only withstand the onslaught up to the ninth wave, before being compelled to deploy pre-arranged Immortal Artifacts, Spiritual Treasures, and similar aids!

It is an unavoidable reality; this is the ultimate heavenly tribulation, vastly incomparable to the celestial ascension tribulation that arises at the Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal stage. Each variant of the final heavenly tribulation is inherently terrifying. Even those slightly more merciful than the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation that looms before us remain exceedingly dreadful. Otherwise, how could it be that for tens of thousands of years within the Immortal Realm, not a single powerhouse at the Strongest Immortal Lord level has managed to successfully traverse the final heavenly tribulation anew!"

Uttering these words, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er subtly knitted her brows, casting a glance towards the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva in the distance, and sighed regretfully, shaking her head,

"Much like the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva preceding us, although she has already weathered four waves of the tribulation and is currently confronting the fifth, who can definitively assert she will withstand the ceaselessly escalating, increasingly fearsome celestial assaults?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong felt a potent surge of ambition and fervent enthusiasm course through his being.

Throughout the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, spanning millions of years, not a solitary powerhouse at the Strongest Immortal Lord echelon has emerged who, through sheer talent and innate strength, has successfully navigated the final heavenly tribulation. This encompasses not only the Human Race dwelling within the Immortal Realm but also extends to the Demon Race of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, the Buddhist practitioners of the Spirit Platform Buddhism, and the formidable Demon Race hailing from Unbounded Mountain; none have ever accomplished such a feat!

The critical factor, gleaned from the observed transformations and escalating power displayed by Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva during her tribulation, substantiates Guang Yu’er’s assertion. Traversing the tribulation by relying on pure strength and innate talent, rather than resorting to external artifacts, could indeed forge a more robust foundation prior to ascending to the Upper Realm, potentially fostering the emergence of a more potent Celestial Immortal in the future!

*Click! Clack!* From this perspective, it becomes imperative for me to engage in careful deliberation and thorough preparation before attaining the State of Strongest Immortal Lord Perfection!

Who can say? Perhaps I could become the sole individual within the entirety of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm for millions of years to overcome the final heavenly tribulation by exclusively relying on my individual Immortal Body, Yuan, and spiritual will... consequently becoming a superior Celestial Immortal in the days to come!

Regardless of the ultimate outcome, the attempt must be made!

With these thoughts swirling, Lin Xuankong found his gaze drawn once more to the Little Bodhisattva Galin, positioned not far away. He mused silently, acknowledging the necessity: it appears I must devise a method to acquire the extraordinarily potent Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique from the esteemed Bodhisattvas of the Spirit Platform Buddhism!

Naturally, it is likely not solely the Superior Buddhism Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique from Spirit Platform Buddhism that holds value. Within the expanse of the entire Immortal Realm, myriad potent and profound Immortal Techniques exist in abundance, numbering as countless as the stars. Consequently, the more I am able to assimilate, the greater the advantage; the more formidable the Immortal Techniques and Buddhist arts I manage to learn, the more advantageous it shall prove!

Having firmly decided in his heart, Lin Xuankong retracted his gaze from Galin Little Bodhisattva. He then turned his attention from the Luo Water Array to the outside, focusing on Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva.

At this exact moment,

above Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva,

within the dense tribulation clouds, countless silver needles began to materialize.

Initially, only a few hundred silver needles materialized. However, within mere breaths, the quantity of silver needles emerging from the heavy tribulation clouds surged into the thousands, appearing so densely packed that it made one’s scalp tingle!

It must be known that the initial few hundred silver needles had already caused Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva to lose a golden shield, which was formed by her right arm's condensation. Now, the number of silver needles had escalated to thousands!

From hundreds to thousands, an increase of nearly tenfold!

But how could Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva possess so many 'arms,' so many Buddha Bodies?

And yet,

the accumulation of silver needles in the sky showed no signs of halting!

As merely ten breaths of time passed, the number of silver needles emerging from the exceedingly heavy tribulation clouds had reached an almost unimaginably terrifying figure of tens of thousands, nearing a hundred thousand!

This breathtaking spectacle resembled tens of thousands of silver points of light, akin to the North Star, appearing in the heavens. It was dazzling, exquisitely wondrous, yet any cultivator witnessing this scene and contemplating the formidable power of those silver needles would undoubtedly experience a drastic change in their expression, their breathing deepening rapidly!
