Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1166 494: First Hero of the Immortal Realm

Upon the First Spirit Peak of the great Wine Immortal Sect,

a throng of cultivators and Earth Immortals pulsed with anticipation and excitement!

Even the Little Bodhisattvas from Spirit Platform Buddhism, engaged in their meditative practices, wore flushed expressions of exhilaration as they conversed animatedly with their peers. Little Bodhisattva Galin, too, was caught in the wave of agitation!

The usually solemn Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race found himself unable to contain his own thrill, murmuring incessantly to himself.

Amidst the amassed crowd,

the formidable Guang Yu'er, heralded as the Strongest Immortal Lord, mirrored the prevailing excitement, a light blush gracing her cheeks.

However, a shadow of contemplation soon crossed her features. She turned her gaze to Lin Xuankong, who appeared lost in deep thought, and inquired:

"Hmm, you seem somewhat detached!

The Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva has ascended to the rank of Celestial Buddha and repelled legions of demons with a single, decisive strike, thereby averting the existential threat to the Wine Immortal Sect!

While everyone here revels in this triumph, why do you remain so withdrawn, lost in contemplation? Could it be that you're still grieving the loss of your Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact? Xuankong, your mastery over artifact refining is unparalleled; having already forged an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, surely future opportunities will arise to create another, or perhaps even a superior Ninth-Grade one. There's no need to be so disheartened over a single lost artifact."

Lin Xuankong, upon hearing her words, could not help but chuckle. He shook his head and raised a hand, gently patting the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er's head.

"Nonsense! How could I possibly be disheartened over that Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact? Having bestowed it upon the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, I was fully prepared for the potential transformation it might undergo after transcending the tribulation!

My current contemplation stems from...."

With that, Lin Xuankong's smile faded as he directed his gaze toward the celestial void from which Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha had departed.

"I am merely reflecting. Witnessing the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's display has profoundly altered my previous understanding. I had believed that beings at the Strongest Immortal Lord, Demon Lord, and Great Success Bodhisattva tiers already possessed immense power, bordering on invincibility. Aside from the cataclysmic celestial tribulations, which occasionally claimed the lives of even such mighty individuals, it was virtually impossible for any force to utterly annihilate a Strongest Immortal Lord or Demon Lord!

Yet, before the might of Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha, those nineteen Demon Lords, including the venerable First Demon Lord Fan Yu, who had cultivated for a millennium, were utterly powerless to resist. Their feeble attempts at resistance crumbled against Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha's devastating assault! The true might wielded at the Celestial Buddha, Celestial Immortal, and Celestial Demon levels is truly terrifying, far exceeding my prior estimations!"

Lin Xuankong's words were the unvarnished truth; the spectacle of Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha's power had indeed instilled within him a profound sense of awe and apprehension!

Presently, he stood as a formidable cultivator at the Initial Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord. Considering his array of potent trump cards and exceptional innate talents, he felt confident in his ability to overcome adversaries such as the Immortal Realm's First Hero, the Sect Leader of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, or even the formidable First Demon Lord Fan Yu!

However, while victory might be achievable, the instantaneous annihilation of a dozen Demon Lords, or even the complete obliteration of a single one, presented a different scenario. Demon Lords, after all, possessed incredibly resilient life forces. His previous act of detonating the Grand Array Spirit, even with his extensive talent amplifications, had served only to grievously wound one of the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lords!

It could be asserted,

that aside from the newly ascended Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha, who had just reached the Supreme Origin Realm, Lin Xuankong considered himself virtually unbeatable within this mortal realm!

Yet, it was precisely the emergence of Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha that illuminated for Lin Xuankong the true caliber of beings from the Upper Realms... The sheer elegance and power of Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha's sword techniques were utterly mesmerizing! Lin Xuankong surmised that his sole recourse against such devastating attacks would be to leverage his miraculous talent for instantaneous teleportation over vast distances; any conventional defensive measures would prove utterly futile, leading to certain and immediate annihilation without even a chance to cry out!

The most critical observation,

however, was that Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha's decisive sword strike had been executed while under the oppressive influence of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm's world power.

Were it not for this inherent suppression, Lin Xuankong could scarcely imagine the terrifying power Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha might unleash at full capacity. It was even conceivable that lesser demons, demon generals, and demon lords within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect itself might have fallen victim to Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha's swift judgment!

Such immense strength, such absolute power – how could Lin Xuankong not crave it!

His mind was currently aflame with desire, wishing he could hasten back to his abode, enter solitary cultivation, and swiftly reach the Late Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord. He yearned to bolster every facet of his capabilities, to overcome the ultimate celestial tribulation, and wield such astonishing might!

"Ah, so Xuankong, you too have unforeseen matters arise!

I truly thought you were the sort who only brought surprises to others, perpetually the most composed among us all!"

The Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er chuckled heartily.

With a gentle wave of her hand, she spoke earnestly:

"Now that the Yu Ming Heavenly Buddha has successfully transformed into a genuine Celestial Buddha, the profound power he commands is naturally beyond comparison and comprehension for us mortals of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm! However, Xuankong, you ought not to feel overly envious. With your current Fourth-Grade Earth Immortal Realm, it may well take you hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years, to cultivate to the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm! Remember, for formidable existences within the Earth Immortal Realm, the later stages present ever-greater challenges for tier advancement! Therefore, when seeking to cross the ultimate celestial tribulation and ascend to the Upper Realm, one must exercise patience and remain tranquil, rather than rushing!"
