Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1154 - 488: Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact Shocks Immortals and Demons Alike
Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
The Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect have always wreaked havoc throughout the Immortal Realm without restraint. Furthermore, these formidable Demon Lords are long-lived beings, possessing life forces far exceeding those of the Immortal Realm Human Race, the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and the Spirit Platform Buddhism Bodhisattvas. Consequently, they seldom fear any adversary, and even when confronting the Celestial Demon Tribulation, they possess a significant chance of survival!
This very fact contributes to the perpetual extreme pride, brutality, and disregard that the Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect exhibit towards other clans in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, and even towards the Celestial Tribulation itself.
However, according to the Soul Shifting Demon Lord, it appears the Celestial Eye Demon Lord has truly perished completely...
Among these twenty Demon Lords, nearly twelve or thirteen possess strength slightly inferior to the Celestial Eye Demon Lord; even those who are slightly stronger are not substantially so!
Therefore, one can only imagine how difficult it was for the Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect to comprehend, when the Soul Shifting Demon Lord firmly declared that the Celestial Eye Demon Lord not only had his Demon Body utterly destroyed by the tribulation, but his Divine Soul was also entirely annihilated.
Of course, what these Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect found hardest to accept was that, with the Celestial Eye Demon Lord already fallen and even his Divine Soul vanished, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism remained safe and sound, seemingly even appearing somewhat relaxed!
At this very moment, in proximity to the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, the 'galaxy' formed by the Silver Threaded Small Sword from above relentlessly descended upon the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact. Waves of terrifying explosive might continuously erupted above the Eighth-Grade Immortal Sword!
Yet, even as the entire galaxy crafted by the Silver Threaded Small Sword 'shattered' upon the Eighth-Grade Immortal Sword, this immense Eighth-Grade Immortal Sword continued to emanate a brilliant glow, its spiritual energy abundant, leaving not a single scratch upon the mirror-like surface of its Sword Body!
Finally, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, who had endured this terrifying Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, sensed the immense power of the Eighth-Grade Immortal Sword she wielded. Though she always maintained a calm and serene Buddha Heart, a hint of surprise could not help but surface.
After several breaths, this Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism finally managed to calm her steadily surging emotions. She glanced at the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact above, then turned her gaze towards the direction of the Luo Water Array. Nodding remotely towards Lin Xuankong, who was a thousand miles away, she clasped her hands in gratitude and spoke:
"This time, Yu Ming was able to survive the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation entirely thanks to the Immortal Artifact gifted by Immortal Lin! Without this artifact, even if Yu Ming’s strength had improved severalfold, it would have been extremely difficult to resist the nearly one hundred thousand silver thread swords just now. I would surely have ended up like that Celestial Eye Demon Lord, with body shattered and soul extinguished! The act of gifting an Immortal Sword to save a life makes Yu Ming feel immensely grateful in my heart!"
Within the Luo Water Array, Lin Xuankong gazed at the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva in the distance, radiating Buddha’s Light. He slightly shook his head and said: "We are all fellow practitioners from the Immortal Realm Human Race, why must the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva be so distant? Facing numerous demons from the Profound Yin Demon Sect, the predecessor Yu Ming stood alone in battle, even risking igniting the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation to vow to perish together with that Celestial Eye Demon Lord! That kind of courage, I, Lin Xuankong, am far from matching! As for the Immortal Artifact, it is merely a small gesture; the predecessor Yu Ming need not keep it in mind!"
This wasn't Lin Xuankong boasting. For him, the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact truly wasn't considered rare at his current level; it was a slight effort. After all, over the hundred years accelerated by the Luo Water Array, he and the Artifact Refining Genius, Miss Xiao Xiuyi, had already become capable of refining Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts... Now, several Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts resided within his Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch!
Seeing Lin Xuankong speak in such a manner, the gratitude and admiration in Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s eyes instantly intensified.
She pondered slightly, a hint of puzzlement in her expression, and looking towards Lin Xuankong, she inquired: "There is one matter Yu Ming still doesn't quite understand, and I wish to seek clarification from Immortal Lin!"
Lin Xuankong raised his eyebrows slightly, responding, "Please ask, predecessor Yu Ming!"
"If my senses and judgment are not mistaken, the Immortal Artifact bestowed by Immortal Lin for my use is extraordinarily potent, its fluctuations immense and its quality incredibly robust. This must be... an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, correct?" the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva inquired.
Before Lin Xuankong could offer a response,
the cultivators within the Luo Water Array, along with the brilliant young talents from various Immortal Sects and clans, were already overcome with sheer astonishment.
"What was that? Did I mishear? The esteemed Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva actually stated that the Immortal Artifact gifted by Immortal Lin is an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact? Unbelievable! An Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact! One need not fear anything in the entirety of the Immortal Realm with such an item! Such artifacts haven't materialized for millions of years! According to the historical records of my Three Profound Immortal Sect, even during the Near Ancient Era, Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts had ceased to appear in the Immortal Realm. It appears the last recorded instance of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact emerging was in the Middle Ages, meaning at least three million years ago!"
"It can't possibly be a genuine Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, can it? Good heavens, I, Hua Qianqiu, the sole True Disciple of the Nine Spirits Immortal Sect Master, possess only a Grade-Entered Immortal Artifact. Among the tens of thousands within the sect, only my master is the proud owner of a First-grade Immortal Artifact! Tsk tsk tsk, yet Immortal Lin casually lends out an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact! Is this the true difference between individuals? This disparity is far more profound than that between Celestial Immortals and mere mortal dogs!"
"Is this truly an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact?
Oh, destiny! I, Chi Liuxia, am actually witnessing an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact with my own eyes in this lifetime, feeling its ethereal spiritual energy firsthand!"
