Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1167 494: First Hero of the Immortal Realm (Part 2)

Lin Xuankong was left momentarily speechless upon hearing this proclamation.

Fourth-Grade Earth Immortal Realm... My esteemed and mightiest Immortal Lord, I am no longer of that station! It is merely that my elder brother prefers to maintain a low profile!

At this very moment,

Little Bodhisattva Galin, who was not far from Lin Xuankong, approached with a retinue of exceptionally gifted young Bodhisattvas from the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect.

Once the assembled young Bodhisattvas had taken their places beside Lin Xuankong, Little Bodhisattva Galin stepped forward to address him, her hands clasped in a gesture of deep respect, and solemnly declared:

"Jade Bright Celestial Buddha has achieved success in transcending the formidable Five Elements Extermination Tribulation and has ascended to the Upper Realm. Furthermore, he has completely vanquished millions of demons, demon generals, and demon lords belonging to the Profound Yin Demon Sect. This signifies the greatest fortune for the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect in countless millennia, and an immense blessing for the entirety of the Immortal Realm's Human Race! Had it not been for Immortal Lin's magnanimous bestowal of that exceedingly valuable Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, which had not been seen for millions of years, upon Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, I fear Grandmaster Yu Ming would have perished during the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, let alone been able to sweep away millions of malevolent demons!

Galin, along with my fellow disciples from the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect, are here to express our profound gratitude to Immortal Lin!

It can be justly stated that Immortal Lin's presentation of the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact to Jade Bright Celestial Buddha represents an immeasurable grace bestowed upon the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect and, indeed, the entire Human Race within the Immortal Realm!

Immortal Lin, going forward, irrespective of any requests you might present, provided the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect possesses the capacity to fulfill them, I am confident that Grandmaster Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, alongside countless past sages and our fellow disciples, will spare no effort in adhering to Immortal Lin's directives!"

Following the conclusion of Little Bodhisattva Galin's address, the thousands of gifted young Bodhisattvas from the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect standing behind her joined in, clasping their hands in a unified salute and proclaiming in unison, "Thank you, Immortal Lin!"

The resounding voices of the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect's young Bodhisattvas echoed powerfully, reaching every corner of the First Spirit Peak belonging to the Wine Immortal Sect, immediately drawing the focused attention of all cultivators present!

Upon learning of the details regarding the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact,

those Earth Immortals from the Wine Immortal Sect, as well as the talented juniors hailing from various other sects and clans, who had been experiencing considerable excitement moments before, instantly fell silent and turned their gazes towards Lin Xuankong.

Positioned at the very front among the multitude of talented juniors from the various sects and clans, the Cyan-forehead Qilin suddenly blinked its large, expressive eyes and began to articulate, "Immortal Lin's incredibly generous act of gifting an Immortal Artifact has undeniably saved Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, and by extension, every cultivator in attendance. It shall further catalyze earth-shattering transformations across the entire Immortal Realm's Human Race. For such profound benevolence, my Qilin Race offers its endless gratitude!"

Even before the Cyan-forehead Qilin had entirely finished its statement,

the tens of thousands of talented juniors and Earth Immortals from the Wine Immortal Sect who were present began to react, and subsequently, each one commenced to voice their appreciation,

"Little Bodhisattva Galin and Immortal Cyan Forehead speak nothing but the truth. If not for Immortal Lin's benevolent offering of the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva might have faced insurmountable difficulties in transcending the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation and achieving the esteemed rank of Celestial Buddha, let alone lifting the dire siege upon the Wine Immortal Sect! My Cyan Dragon Race, in deep appreciation to Immortal Lin, expresses its heartfelt thanks a millionfold!"

"The Black Tortoise Race, comprising six thousand one hundred and twenty-eight clansmen, extends its thanks to Immortal Lin! An Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact is a treasure beyond measure; even during an era brimming with heavenly materials and earthly treasures millions of years past, it would still be recognized as a peerless artifact. Immortal Lin's boundless generosity fills every clansman of my Black Tortoise Race with unending gratitude!"

"One hundred eighty-two disciples from the Ten Thousand Gu Immortal Sect offer their thanks to Immortal Lin! It is widely rumored that Immortal Lin holds the title of the strongest artifact refining master within the Immortal Realm for the past million years. Now, observing this event, it appears this esteemed title might be insufficient, indeed greatly inadequate. Immortal Lin surpasses not only the strongest artifact refining masters among our Immortal Realm Human Race over the last million years; it is plausible that no such exceptionally powerful artifact refining master has ever graced the Path of Artifact Refining in tens of millions of years! This is truly an unparalleled achievement, likely never to be witnessed again!"

"Two hundred thirty-two disciples from the Yin Yang Fiery Fire Sect express their gratitude to Immortal Lin..."

"Seven thousand clansmen from the Fire Phoenix Race convey their thanks to Immortal Lin..."

With the Cyan-forehead Qilin's reminder echoing, over a hundred thousand cultivators from various Immortal Sects and clans turned their gazes toward Lin Xuankong, their expressions filled with profound reverence and fervent gratitude.

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er observed this scene and let out a gentle chuckle. "Xuankong, this achievement not only marks you as the foremost artifact refining master in the Immortal Realm but potentially elevates you to the highest echelon of the Immortal Realm's Human Race throughout all of history!"

The Profound Yin Demon Sect, which had dispatched forces to the Wine Immortal Sect, represented at least a third of their entire strength. Yet, such a formidable legion, comprised of countless demons, demon generals, and demon lords, was utterly annihilated!

As it stands, it is likely an immense challenge for the Profound Yin Demon Sect to reconstitute such a powerful and vast fighting force at this juncture.

Furthermore, the promising young disciples from the various Immortal Sects and clans who had sought refuge at the Wine Immortal Sect have all emerged from peril unscathed!

Most crucially, the Profound Yin Demon Sect has suffered a loss of one-third of its might today alone. This significantly diminishes the pressure on our Immortal Realm Human Race, thereby substantially increasing our prospects for victory.

Should the Immortal Demon War ultimately conclude in our favor, you may very well be hailed across the entirety of the Immortal Realm as its preeminent hero!"

After receiving the collective thanks, Lin Xuankong, upon hearing Guang Yu'er's pronouncement, first gestured for calm among the assembled crowd. He then softly inclined his head. "There is no need for such overwhelming gratitude. Those millions of demons, demon generals, and demon lords were all eradicated by Jade Bright Celestial Buddha. I merely contributed an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact; it scarcely warrants such profound appreciation from all of you."

Witnessing Lin Xuankong's humble declaration, everyone present shook their heads and offered another respectful bow. They were all acutely aware that without the generous provision of that Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact by Lin Xuankong, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva might well have perished during the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, rendering all subsequent triumphs impossible...

Approximately half an hour later,

the multitude of cultivators, their hearts brimming with heartfelt thanks, departed from the First Spirit Peak of the Wine Immortal Sect. This allowed the once boisterous Spirit Peak a measure of quietude. Naturally, upon returning to their respective accommodations, these gifted young disciples from the myriad Immortal Sects and clans eagerly retrieved their Communication Jades. They were impatient to disseminate the day's monumental events and the triumphant news of First Demon Lord Fan Yu and other demon lords' demise to their elders!

At this moment,

Little Bodhisattva Galin, whom Lin Xuankong had asked to remain on the First Spirit Peak, curiously surveyed the now quieted Spirit Peak. She clasped her hands in a gesture of respect and inquired, "Immortal Lin, do you have instructions for Galin?"

By this time, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race and his companions had already departed. Only Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er and Lin Xuankong remained on the Spirit Peak. Guang Yu'er, equally curious, cast a glance at Lin Xuankong as he observed him keeping Little Bodhisattva Galin behind.

Gazing at the young Little Bodhisattva Galin before him, Lin Xuankong's mind drifted back to the recollection of Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's demonstration of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique.

Presently, Lin Xuankong possessed a vast array of unparalleled talents and a considerable assortment of Immortal Artifacts and various contingency plans. However, he found himself lacking a technique that could substantially bolster his defensive capabilities! The Guangqing Illusion Technique, the Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill, and other similar arts he had previously mastered were all primarily focused on disguise and offensive maneuvers. While these techniques ranked among the most potent Immortal Techniques within the Immortal Realm, they paled in comparison to the defensive prowess of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique when confronting Celestial Tribulations!

Certainly, having already secured a Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact and numerous Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, and having witnessed Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva successfully navigate the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation with only a single Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, Lin Xuankong harbored considerable confidence in his future ability to transcend the Celestial Tribulation!

However, through the process of Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva enduring the tribulation, Lin Xuankong learned from both Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er and the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race that to achieve a more refined and thorough purification of one's Immortal Body during the final stages of tribulation, it is actually most beneficial to refrain from excessive reliance on various Immortal Artifacts and Spiritual Treasures!

Consequently, mastering a few potent defensive arts became an absolute necessity! And the technique known as the Golden Body Demon Suppression was undeniably the most formidable defensive art that Lin Xuankong had ever encountered!

Lin Xuankong's sole apprehension revolved around whether the cultivation of this Buddhist art, the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, necessitated any peculiar Wisdom Root!

Although figures like Little Bodhisattva Galin and Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva seemed convinced Lin Xuankong possessed a Wisdom Root, Lin Xuankong was well aware of his own circumstances. Truthfully, the primary reason Little Bodhisattva Galin perceived him to have a Wisdom Root was attributable to his activation of the Nine Gates Celestial Eye during that specific moment...
