Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1156 - 489: Jianmu Disaster Calamity

As the myriad Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect were immersed in discussion, the words spoken by the Soul Shifting Demon Lord echoed, causing the expressions of the Demon Lords to shift significantly, their eyes betraying an unmistakable glint of avarice. Even the First Demon Lord Fan Yu, who presided at the center and held the position of the strongest, most renowned, and most respected among them, found his vertical pupils narrowing considerably upon hearing the Soul Shifting Demon Lord's revelation. A flicker of greed, mirroring that of the others, danced across his elongated, dark visage. It was at this very moment that the First Demon Lord Fan Yu truly comprehended the reason behind their Profound Yin Demon Sect's Holy Son, Gang Bone, mobilizing the entirety of their forces. He understood why they risked engaging in a potentially catastrophic battle against countless formidable figures from the Immortal Realm Human Race, the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and the Spirit Platform Buddhism – a conflict that threatened the demise of numerous powerful cultivators – all for the sake of Lin Xuankong! Such a confrontation, even with the enhancements bestowed by the Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch's Saint Monarch's Power upon many of the Profound Yin Demon Sect's strong practitioners, was still likely to result in significant casualties, such as the fall of the Celestial Eye Demon Lord... Yet, the prize was undeniably worth it, absolutely worth it! A fervent light ignited within the First Demon Lord Fan Yu's vertical pupils. If Lin Xuankong possessed only a few First, Second, or Third Grade Immortal Artifacts, the potential loss of numerous Demons, Demon Generals, and Demon Lords from the Profound Yin Demon Sect might not have been justifiable. However, Lin Xuankong wielded an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact! Such a treasure, once converted into a Demon Artifact, would almost certainly provide a solution for overcoming the perilous Celestial Demon Tribulation, especially when passed to the First Demon Lord, the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Lord, the Soul Shifting Demon Lord, and the other Demon Lords! What if, just what if, Lin Xuankong acquired this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact not through relics or treasures left by some ancient expert? What if this individual's artifact refining prowess was astonishingly potent, and the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact was personally crafted by him? After all, the Luo Water Array he erected incorporated over three thousand Third and Fourth Grade Immortal Artifacts! With such an abundance of immortal artifacts, even a profoundly ancient and eccentric expert would find it impossible to hoard so many without passing them down to descendants! It was highly probable, exceedingly probable, that this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact was personally refined by Lin Xuankong himself! If that were the case, this prodigy absolutely had to be brought under the control of the powerful cultivators within their Holy Sect! The future progression of the entire Profound Yin Saint Sect would then be unimaginably terrifying! Contemplating this, the First Demon Lord Fan Yu involuntarily straightened his posture, abandoning his casual lean against the substantial chair. His gaze intently fixed upon Lin Xuankong's distant location within the Luo Water Array, a thousand miles away. Fortunately, their Holy Son, Gang Bone, had made a resolute decision; Lin Xuankong was likely still within the Third and Fourth Tier Realm. Even with a vast quantity of Immortal Artifacts, he could still be overwhelmed and vanquished by the countless formidable practitioners of their Profound Yin Saint Sect! Should he be allowed to mature, who would be capable of controlling him in the future? Pondering this, the First Demon Lord Fan Yu found himself reflecting on certain aspects of the Supreme Origin Realm, as mentioned by Holy Son Gang Bone. According to Holy Son Gang Bone, even within the Supreme Origin Realm, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grade Immortal Artifacts, along with Sacred Artifacts, were treasures fiercely sought after by Saint Monarchs, Celestial Immortals, Celestial Demons, and Great Buddhas alike! The reason, it was reported, was that within the Supreme Origin Realm, the bodies and Divine Souls of Earth Immortals were nourished by the Source Qi, undergoing a transformation into Celestial Immortals. Furthermore, those Seventh, Eighth, Ninth Grade, and higher-grade Immortal Artifacts and Sacred Artifacts, influenced by the Supreme Origin Realm's Source Qi, experienced a degree of metamorphosis, evolving into more potent Seventh, Eighth, Ninth Grade, and higher-grade Source Artifacts! Once Lin Xuankong was captured, even upon eventually reaching the Supreme Origin Realm, there would exist an opportunity for the Saint Monarchs of the Holy Sect to continuously acquire powerful Source Artifacts! They must seize him! They absolutely must capture Lin Xuankong! No matter the immense cost involved! Even if it meant deploying a hundredfold Luo Water Array, exhausting the Demonic Qi of millions of subordinates, and completely dismantling these arrays – even if the endeavor spanned centuries – they must capture Lin Xuankong alive! With this decisive thought, the First Demon Lord Fan Yu suddenly felt a surge of...

Should the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva manage to surmount the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation with the aid of this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, it would prove to be an advantageous outcome! This is because the power descending from the Supreme Origin Realm via the Celestial Tribulation would elevate the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva to the status of an Initial Tier Great Buddha before their departure from the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm! Furthermore, the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact would transmute into an Eighth-Grade Source Artifact, influenced by the Source Qi of the Supreme Origin Realm. Consequently, bound by the laws of heaven and earth, the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm would naturally 'expel' this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact along with the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, allowing them to leave together!

This turn of events would result in Lin Xuankong forfeiting a formidable ally at the Strongest Immortal Lord Perfection Level, in addition to the loss of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact!

It is highly probable that Lin Xuankong does not possess an abundance of such Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts. After all, an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact is exceedingly rare; even during the ancient era of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, when spiritual treasures were plentiful, the creation of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact was an arduous undertaking for even the most skilled Artifact Refining Masters, akin to scaling the heavens!

At this juncture, the First Demon Lord, Fan Yu, who had been seated with upright posture, suddenly curved his lips into a smile.

He then settled back comfortably into his chair, his gaze directed towards the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, a flicker of anticipation dancing within his eyes.

At this precise moment,
