Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1160 - 491: Achieving Celestial Immortal Today

Lin Xuankong was observing the final Celestial Tribulation of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva with extreme focus.

His attention wasn't solely on whether a Human Race Cultivator like the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva could overcome it!

Lin Xuankong had journeyed from a Mortal Tier Cultivator all the way to the Initial Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord, facing immense hardships. Particularly after entering the Earth Immortal Realm, each progression brought forth the most formidable and perilous tribulations compared to any other in that Realm!

It might not be that the heavens or the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm were specifically targeting him, but Lin Xuankong was absolutely certain.

When he reached the Late Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm and his own final Celestial Tribulation descended, it would undoubtedly be an overwhelmingly terrifying and potentially fatal trial!

At minimum, tribulations like the Celestial Spirit Fire, Netherworld Water Tribulation, Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, and Jianmu Calamity would merely be minor preliminaries to the ordeals he would face later!

From the First Grade Realm, through the Second-Grade Earth Immortal Realm, up to the Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal Realm, the heavens had consistently attempted to end him with dreadful tribulations. There was no logical reason why he would be granted an easy, ceremonial passage during the final Celestial Tribulation of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm!

His personal final Celestial Tribulation would, at the very least, have to be on the scale of the "Five Elements Extermination Tribulation" that the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva was currently confronting!

With such thoughts occupying his mind,

a sense of vigilance and careful observation was unavoidable for Lin Xuankong!

These were all invaluable learning experiences!

As Lin Xuankong contemplated inwardly, a significant shift finally manifested within the dense, suffocating tribulation clouds above the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's head.

The innumerable clouds began a slow rotation in the sky.

After several dozen breaths, directly over the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, the dense tribulation clouds coalesced into a pattern resembling an enormous black-and-white Tai Chi Diagram, stretching hundreds of li in diameter. The dark yin eye within this diagram transformed into a colossal black hole, a hundred li wide!

The instant this immense black hole materialized, a tangible ripple emanated outwards, directly engulfing the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's form!

Subsequently,

the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's colossal, ten-thousand-zhang body began to be pulled uncontrollably towards that colossal black hole in the sky!

The suction force generated by that ripple was shockingly potent. The Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, a cultivator at the perfection of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm, ranked among the elite. Such a powerful being possessed Escape Techniques of unimaginable efficacy, yet here, under the gravitational pull of that gigantic black hole, his efforts to resist were futile; his body continued its slow drift towards the abyss!

The sensation was utterly bizarre. Under the influence of the visible ripple, it felt as though his immense form was no more than a minuscule leaf adrift on a boundless ocean, devoid of agency, surrendered to the whims of the current!

Witnessing this, Lin Xuankong could not help but furrow his brows. This Tai Chi Diagram-shaped tribulation cloud was something entirely novel to him.

The Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race standing nearby also wore a deep frown. However, on this occasion, the Qilin Elder did not offer any explanation; it was clear that even this ancient Qilin, who had lived for over a hundred thousand years, had never encountered such a tribulation!

The Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, however, could not suppress her concern and spoke:

The peculiar fluctuation of this tribulation... it bears a striking resemblance to the Taiyin Soul-annihilating Tribulation detailed in the ancient scriptures of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect! According to those records, within the vast span of millions of years, this catastrophic event has manifested only twice within our Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. Both instances involved two venerable seniors of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, who were at the pinnacle of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm when they faced their trials, approximately two million years ago! Alas, neither of those mighty cultivators from the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect could withstand the overwhelming pull of the Taiyin Soul-annihilating Tribulation. They were irrevocably drawn into the black hole's yin eye, generated by the Tai Chi Diagram, and vanished without a trace, their existence utterly erased.

The guardians who chronicled those events for the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect noted that despite the two Strongest Immortal Lords exhausting every treasure and immortal artifact at their disposal, their efforts proved futile. Tragically, those very artifacts were instead consumed by the Tai Chi Diagram’s insatiable yin eye.

Upon hearing Guang Yu'er's account, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race paused, his brow furrowed. "The Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect... While they may no longer boast a cultivator at the Strongest Immortal Lord Level, my knowledge indicates that two million years ago, the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect stood as the preeminent force in the Immortal Realm. Its renown far surpassed even that of the Guangqing Immortal Sect, where Immortal Lord Guang resides. At that time, even the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect could not contend with their might."

"Given the formidable foundation and esteemed position of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect two million years ago, those two Strongest Immortal Lord seniors must have amassed an extraordinary collection of immortal artifacts and treasures. Yet, they ultimately succumbed to this very tribulation? This suggests that the Taiyin Soul-annihilating Tribulation is, in all likelihood, significantly more perilous than prior trials such as the Celestial Spirit Fire, the Netherworld Water Tribulation, the Jianmu Calamity, or the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation! Let us fervently hope that the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva can overcome this trial today!"

Lin Xuankong listened, a recollection surfacing from his time at the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. He remembered being besieged by the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect's Second Elder, Sima Ling, along with dozens of Ninth-Grade Earth Immortals, and the subsequent occasion where Guang Yu'er acquired a vast trove of scriptures from that very sect.
