The Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva successfully endured the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation with the unexpected aid of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact. This artifact, gifted by Lin Xuankong, proved invaluable in fending off the terrifying tribulation, saving the Bodhisattva from a fate similar to the annihilated Celestial Eye Demon Lord. The Bodhisattva expressed deep gratitude to Lin Xuankong, who downplayed his contribution, revealing his ability to refine such powerful artifacts.
Ah, it's no wonder! No wonder the moment this Immortal Artifact fell into the hands of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, the Senior who was previously struggling against hundreds of Silver Threaded Small Swords was now capable of facing nearly ten thousand of them with utter ease, as if he were merely taking a leisurely stroll! Hahaha, truly deserving of the title of the greatest Artifact Refining Genius our Immortal Realm has seen in millions of years; Immortal Lin continuously astonishes us!""

"Surely, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva wouldn’t jest! Immortal Lin could only refine Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, so how could an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact possibly exist now! Before, I sensed the fluctuations of this Immortal Artifact were far too potent, not at all characteristic of Fourth, Fifth, or even Sixth Grade Immortal Artifacts. Unexpectedly, it’s not just that it isn't a Fourth, Fifth, or even Sixth Grade Immortal Artifact, but it very well might be an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact!""

"With the esteemed character of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, how could he possibly be making light of the situation at a time like this? If the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva declares this Immortal Artifact to be an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, then it is undoubtedly an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact! But the reappearance of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact within the Immortal Realm, such an event is truly astonishing! Had I not heard the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva declare it directly with my own ears, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn’t have dared to believe that Immortal Lin actually possesses an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact! Tsk tsk, with an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact in hand, even if Immortal Lin remains merely at the Fourth-Grade Earth Immortal Realm, he could effortlessly injure the most powerful Immortal Lord-level experts. It's no wonder Immortal Lin has displayed such astounding might repeatedly, even managing to injure that Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord!""

At this juncture, Lin Xuankong had yet to personally confirm the artifact's status as an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact. However, all the cultivators within the Luo Water Array had already erupted, their faces flushed with excitement as they fixated on the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact hovering above the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s head.

After all, it was the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva himself speaking, and Buddhism is known for its truthfulness; how much less would someone like the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva speak carelessly or announce something uncertain in public? Consequently, the majority of individuals present had by this moment already become convinced that the Immortal Artifact above the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s head was indeed an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, one that had not made an appearance in the entire Immortal Realm for millions of years.

Therefore,

At this precise moment,

Numerous cultivators and Earth Immortals alike found their eyes brimming with overwhelming adoration, their gazes locked intently upon the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact suspended above the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s head. These individuals seemed desperate, yearning to immediately ascend and personally experience the touch of the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact that had been absent for millennia, to draw near and feel firsthand the aura emanating from an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact!

Standing beside Lin Xuankong, the most formidable Immortal Lord, Guang Yu’er, was equally taken aback by the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s declaration. Her delicate mouth agape in disbelief, she turned towards Lin Xuankong at her side. "This... what the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva said, is it true? This Immortal Artifact is genuinely an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact? Xuankong, you actually possess an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact?""

Meanwhile, the Cyan-forehead Qilin and the White-forehead Qilin excitedly drifted closer, positioning themselves beside the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader. In the presence of the Elder Clan Leader, these two Young Demon Kings of the Qilin Race would normally refrain from such open speech or unrestrained behavior. Nevertheless, aware of their Young Master’s immense power, especially his possession of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, these two young rulers of the Qilin Race felt an immense surge of pride and boundless delight!

The Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader, while having harbored suspicions about the Immortal Artifact prior, had certainly not anticipated the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva proclaiming it an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact! Thus, this Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race also directed a gaze of curiosity and doubt towards Lin Xuankong, awaiting his response.

At this moment, Lin Xuankong observed that a multitude of gazes were fixed upon him, even the strongest Immortal Lord and his cherished companion, Guang Yu’er, by his side were filled with uncertainty. This caused him to chuckle and shake his head.

He contemplated for a brief period before nodding in the direction of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva in the distance.

The Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva indeed possesses foresight like a torch; this Immortal Artifact is undoubtedly an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact! However, its grade is not the primary concern at this moment; the crucial aspect is whether this Immortal Artifact can effectively aid the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva through the impending rounds of Celestial Tribulation!

Upon uttering these words, Lin Xuankong's statement served to solidify the artifact's status as an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, further amplifying the palpable excitement within the Luoshu Array.

Among the onlookers were many cultivators from the Wine Immortal Sect, alongside numerous young talents from various Immortal Sects and clans. These individuals unexpectedly surged forward, drawn towards the luminous barrier of the Luoshu Array, clearly eager to get a closer look at the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact.

The most conspicuously thrilled, naturally, were the prodigious Little Bodhisattvas of the Spirit Platform Buddhism, spearheaded by Little Bodhisattva Galin. Once the confirmation arrived that their Lotus Buddhism's Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva was indeed being bolstered by an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, their previously crushing anxiety dissolved into sheer elation. This transformation prompted the multitude of Little Bodhisattvas to chant Buddhist scriptures with renewed lightness, their countenances radiating unmistakable joy.

At this juncture, with the assurance that the Immortal Artifact hovering above the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's head was of Eighth-Grade, the elation was not confined to the Human Race, Demon Race, and Spirit Platform Buddhism cultivators gathered around the Luoshu Array.

Innumerable experts from the Profound Yin Demon Sect – including Demons, Demon Generals, and Demon Lords – stationed at their own positions, experienced a rapid shift in their expressions. Their gazes remained fixed, unblinking, upon the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact positioned above the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's head!

These formidable Demon Race experts, who typically wreaked havoc across the Immortal Realm by plundering the blood, flesh, Divine Souls, and treasures of other races, could hardly resist the allure of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact!

Nevertheless, the assembled Demons, Demon Generals, and Demon Lords were acutely aware that the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva was currently enduring the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation. They understood that any attempt to interfere with him or to seize the Immortal Artifact at this juncture would inevitably draw the wrath of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, leading to a fate similar to that of the ill-fated Celestial Eye Demon Lord!

Naturally, the current wielder of this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact was none other than the immensely potent Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva; wresting it from his possession would prove no simple feat! Were this not the case, the Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect would undoubtedly find it impossible to resist the profound temptation of the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, charging forward even at the peril of being consumed by the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, all in an effort to claim this treasure...

"Damn it all, truly infuriating! This accursed monk from the Spirit Platform Buddhism has secured the aid of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact. Small wonder my Junior Brother Tianyan, relying on a hundred First-Grade Sacred Artifacts, couldn't withstand the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, while this monk handled it with such ease! Confound it! If only I possessed an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact and could transform it into Sacred Artifacts, I'd face the so-called Silver Thread Sword Tribulation without a shred of fear!"

"An Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact... It has been millennia since one last surfaced in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm! Ever since the former foremost Artifact Refining Grandmaster, Rongyu Sect, crafted the final section of the Celestial Demon Horn into an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact some three million and eight hundred thousand years ago, no Artifact Refining Master in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm has managed to replicate such a feat. How did this Lin Xuankong procure an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact? Could his unparalleled Artifact Refining mastery, which currently dominates the entire Immortal Realm, be linked to this profound artifact?"

"Blast it, perhaps Lin Xuankong stumbled upon some monumental opportunity, acquiring the relic treasures of an ancient powerhouse! Otherwise, given the current scarcity of resources throughout the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, how could another Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact possibly be refined! Tsk tsk, it’s a true shame that such potent Immortal Artifacts should belong to our Profound Yin Saint Sect, yet have fallen into the hands of this fellow and that monk, Yu Ming!"

"Don't be too disheartened; there are still four more rounds of incredibly fearsome Celestial Tribulation assaults awaiting in this Five Elements Extermination Tribulation! It's whispered that over two million years ago, a formidable Immortal Lord, the strongest of his era and wielding three Seventh-Grade Immortal Artifacts, perished during the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation. Even with an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, that infuriating Monk Yu Ming might not survive this trial!

Should... If this accursed Monk Yu Ming succumbs to this Celestial Tribulation, then upon our combined assault, this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact will undoubtedly become the prize of our Saint Sect's most powerful cultivators!"

The Soul Shifting Demon Lord, who had suffered the loss of his Soul Shifting Pearl, uttered these words with a chilling resonance.
