Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1169 495: The Realm of Perfection (2)
Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
The greater the number of mystic patterns that are formed, the more formidable their power becomes. To possess ten thousand mystic patterns is considered the basic level, enabling a cultivator to wield the might of ten thousand Buddhist dragon-elephants. The strength demonstrated with a mere wave of the hand is astonishing, and the golden pattern Buddhist shield that can be conjured is exceptionally resilient. Should one manage to forge one hundred thousand golden body mystic patterns, akin to the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha, they would command the power equivalent to one hundred thousand Buddhist dragon-elephants. The golden pattern Buddhist shield, developed through the assimilation of one's physical body, becomes virtually indestructible. It would take an event like the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, a celestial trial, to breach it; otherwise, within the entirety of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, few powers could possibly shatter the golden pattern Buddhist shield!
It must have been apparent to Immortal Lin and Immortal Lord Guang that the formidable crimson beam of light emanating from the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, though incredibly potent, failed to even disturb the golden pattern Buddhist shield. If not for the Upper Realm Celestial Demon's power infused within the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's demonic technique, the golden pattern Buddhist shield of the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha would likely have endured indefinitely, regardless of how many years the Celestial Eye Demon Lord persisted in their assault!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but feel a stirring within him, his desire for this Buddhist divine skill intensifying.
Little Bodhisattva Galin continued to elaborate:
"Regrettably, the cultivation of this Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique demands an exorbitant amount of Immortal Yuan. Within our Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect, only the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha has achieved the Perfection Realm in this technique!
Ordinarily, as the foremost talent of our Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, Immortal Lin would not face any difficulties regarding resources and expenditure!
However, with the Immortal-Demon War having just commenced, and despite the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha's success in eradicating approximately one-third of the demons and Demon Lords from the Profound Yin Demon Sect, the Profound Yin Demon Sect still maintains a comparative advantage in overall strength against the Immortal Realm. This conflict, engulfing the entire Immortal Realm, could potentially span centuries, or even millennia, before its conclusion. Under such protracted circumstances, it would prove exceedingly challenging for Immortal Lin to secure the substantial resources required for cultivation!"
Furthermore, the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique necessitates the intricate formation of Buddhist secret patterns within every minute aspect of the body, a process that is not only time-consuming but also demands immense dedication!
Given Immortal Lin's exceptional aptitude, why would you be compelled to pursue the cultivation of such a demanding technique?"
Lin Xuankong, having absorbed this information, offered a slight shake of his head.
The Immortal-Demon War... Considering the formidable power demonstrated by First Demon Lord Fan Yu and the other Demon Lords previously, the Curse of Time certainly possesses its merits, capable of directly depleting the lifespan of opponents wielding Celestial Demon power! Nevertheless, as long as one exercises vigilance and manages to evade direct impacts from such Celestial Demon power, dealing with the remaining Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect should be achievable through the deployment of numerous high-grade immortal artifacts. While it might not be effortless, it would at least prevent this Immortal-Demon War from dragging on for thousands upon thousands of years!
As for the contention that the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique requires vast resources and a colossal expenditure of Immortal Yuan...
Within this Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, based on my current knowledge, there appears to be no human cultivator, demonic cultivator, or cultivator from the Profound Yin Demon Sect who possesses a Celestial Demon Bone superior to my Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone! My Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone has already undergone extensive expansion, nearly rivaling the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm in scope. Over the past century and more, Second Lady Zhao Yufei has commendably led countless humans in the effective management of the entire Celestial Demon Secret Realm!
In light of these circumstances, if we are discussing who commands ample resources within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm... Although I might not yet match the centuries-old dominance of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, the disparity is not substantial. At the very least, cultivating the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique should pose no insurmountable problem!
Regarding the painstaking effort mentioned by Little Bodhisattva Galin, that is a secondary concern.
Presently, I have advanced the Luo Water Array, a legacy from my master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, to the Second Layer Realm. As long as I desire, I can allocate resources to activate a hundredfold temporal acceleration!
Extrapolating from this, while the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique might demand immense dedication, its cultivation speed would far surpass that of other cultivators!
My, my, the might of ten thousand Buddhist dragon-elephants, a golden patterned Buddhist shield, nearly impervious to harm! If I could integrate it with all my innate talents, just how formidable would it become? Should it reach the Perfection Realm, it would undoubtedly be leagues beyond the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva's golden patterned Buddhist shield!
If I can master it, facing the final celestial tribulation, and that dreaded Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, I might potentially endure six or seven onslaughts unaided, forging an exceptionally robust foundation for my ascent into the Celestial Immortal Realm!
With these thoughts swirling, Lin Xuankong faced Bodhisattva Galin and inquired, "The path of cultivation is akin to rowing upstream; high-level techniques are rarely attained with effortless ease. I am indeed inclined to cultivate this Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. Bodhisattva Galin, what remuneration is expected for its transmission?"
The young Bodhisattva Galin, perceiving Lin Xuankong's unwavering resolve, could only offer a sigh, shaking her head. "If Immortal Lin genuinely wishes to learn this Buddhist Technique, Galin is naturally eager to impart it. There is no need to discuss any rewards!"
With that, the young Bodhisattva Galin reached within her voluminous Buddhist robe and produced a jade scroll, presenting it to Lin Xuankong. "Within this jade scroll are inscribed one hundred and eight distinct Buddhist techniques from our Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect, the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique being among them."
Upon this, Lin Xuankong offered no further pleasantries. He accepted the jade scroll, channeling his Immortal Yuan and divine soul to delve into its contents.
A short while later,
Lin Xuankong returned the jade scroll to Bodhisattva Galin with a smile. "Should I encounter any hurdles in cultivating the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique moving forward, I may very well seek your counsel, Bodhisattva Galin."
The young Bodhisattva Galin appeared to recall something, her brow furrowing suddenly.
"There is one further matter. I recollect that several years ago, when the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha was disseminating teachings, she alluded to our Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect's Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. While it is said to attain perfection with ten thousand golden body mystic patterns, boasting immense power and exceptional defense, Buddhist doctrines dictate that the transformation within the mustard seed is limitless. Ten thousand golden body mystic patterns are not the ultimate extent of this technique, but merely the boundary for an Earth Immortal!
The Jade Bright Celestial Buddha posited that if one could cultivate their divine soul to the Supreme Realm within the Immortal Realm and synergize it with Celestial Eye divine techniques, they could perceive the vast cosmos within the mustard seed, thereby endlessly augmenting the potency of this Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique!
According to the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha's discourse then, the true Perfection and ultimate realm of this Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique might not be confined to ten thousand golden body mystic patterns; perhaps it could extend to a million, or even ten billion, golden body mystic patterns. Its sheer magnitude of power would be contingent upon one's heart, and more importantly, their divine soul!"
Standing nearby, the formidable Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er was left somewhat astounded by these revelations.
"When the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha transcended her tribulation, the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, manifesting ten thousand golden body mystic patterns, forged the golden patterned Buddhist shield. This shield was already capable of repelling the crimson beam of light unleashed by the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, imbued with Celestial Demon power. It also successfully withstood the fourth assault, the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, of the Legendary Tier celestial tribulation, the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation!
If a million golden body mystic patterns were achieved, would the defensive prowess of the golden patterned Buddhist shield not increase tenfold at minimum? In such a scenario, even without the eighth-grade immortal artifact bestowed by Xuankong, enduring five or six rounds of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation should pose no significant challenge!
And if ten billion golden body mystic patterns were realized... would it not then be exponentially mightier than the safeguarding provided by an eighth-grade immortal artifact!
Is this Buddhist technique, if achievable to such an extent, not unimaginably potent... Little Bodhisattva Galin must surely be jesting!"
Little Bodhisattva Galin clasped her hands together, responding to Guang Yu'er with a gentle shake of her head:
"Galin was merely relaying what was divulged during the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha's sermons in the past. Even after practicing the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique for more than ten millennia, the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha only attained the pinnacle of ten thousand mystic patterns, finding himself unable to advance further. Concerning the Supreme Divine Soul Realm, throughout the entirety of the Immortal Realm, only the Sect Leader of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, from our Immortal Realm's Human Race, has reached such a height, merely brushing against the Supreme Divine Soul before the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha! As for whether this Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique can break through to a million mystic patterns, or even one hundred million mystic patterns, Galin himself has no knowledge of this!"
