The Profound Yin Demon Sect's army, led by the Demon Child Gang Bone, is heading for the Wine Immortal Sect. Lin Xuankong is concerned about the formidable power of the Demon Child, but remains confident in the defensive capabilities of the Hundredfold Luo Water Array. To counter the threat, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect decides to delay their full mobilization, relying on the array's strength and planning to reinforce the Wine Immortal Sect just before the Demon army arrives. Lin Xuankong, with a month until their arrival, plans to focus on cultivating the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique.

He remained unaware of the extent to which his Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique would be pushed after a month of intensive Cultivation.

Achieving the Perfection Realm of Great Success for Bodhisattva Yu Ming's Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique might be beyond reach, but reaching Minor Success or even the Great Success Realm should be feasible, shouldn't it!

A flicker of anticipation sparked within Lin Xuankong's gaze.

After a brief contemplation, Lin Xuankong addressed the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er with a serious demeanor:

"Before the Profound Yin Demon Sect's army reaches the Wine Immortal Sect, I intend to enter seclusion for a period. The security of my cave mansion will be entrusted to you, Yu'er. Furthermore, unless a matter of utmost importance arises, refrain from disturbing me in the future!"

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er gave a resolute nod in response to his words,

"Rest assured. With me, Guang Yu'er, guarding your cave mansion, I doubt anyone within the Wine Immortal Sect could possibly breach my vigilance to interrupt your Cultivation! Moreover, you are now the revered Immortal Lin, admired by all. Even without the protection of a Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouse like myself, few would dare to casually disturb you! Even that Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race would afford you considerable respect and would not bother you unless something significant occurred!"

Lin Xuankong offered a slight nod, gently stroking the smooth, silken hair on Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er's head before turning and heading towards the inner recesses of the cave mansion.

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er shook her head with a hint of exasperation, "Hey, I am your Dao companion, not some mere pet. Please refrain from casually patting my head. While it might be acceptable within your cave mansion, if we were outside and the younger generation from various Immortal Sects and clans witnessed you repeatedly patting my head so casually, wouldn't they secretly find it amusing? I also value my reputation, you know!"

"Then, when many people are present, I shall simply shift my affections to patting you elsewhere! Hahahahaha!" Lin Xuankong's laughter resonated from the depths of the cave mansion.

"This fellow!" Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er couldn't suppress her annoyance.

....

Time seems to vanish when engrossed in Cultivation.

In what felt like the blink of an eye, twenty-five or twenty-six days had elapsed.

On this particular day,

atop the expansive platform situated outside Lin Xuankong's cave mansion on the First Spirit Peak of the Wine Immortal Sect, Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er was practicing various Immortal Techniques of the Guangqing Immortal Sect in a cross-legged meditative state. Suddenly, she perceived a change and directed her attention towards the outer light barrier of the Hundredfold Luo Water Array. Streaks of luminous light were observed rapidly converging towards the Wine Immortal Sect from the eastern horizon.

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er's expression grew tense. After a careful assessment of the incoming lights, her delicate features finally relaxed.

Although the streaks of light surged with considerable momentum and possessed astonishing speed, their emitted auras were inherently righteous and unreserved, markedly distinct from the demonic energies unleashed by the Demon Heads, Demon Lords, and Demon Generals of the Profound Yin Demon Sect when activating their Escape Techniques!

At this juncture, a figure swiftly materialized outside the First Spirit Peak and alighted beside Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er. It was none other than the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race.

"Immortal Lord Guang, this old man is truly moved by the current state of affairs! With the Third Grade and above Immortal Artifacts that Immortal Lin bestowed upon the Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses of the Human Race in the Immortal Realm, coupled with the notification from the many powerhouses of the Demon Race from my Boundaryless Mountain and the Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism yesterday that they were assembling here, they have already arrived! If this were tens of thousands of years ago, or even just a few years prior, who could have envisioned such swift mobilization from the Immortal Realm Human Race, the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and the Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism!"

Hearing the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader's commendation of Lin Xuankong's Immortal Artifacts, Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er felt an undeniable sense of inner warmth. Despite the Wine Immortal Sect being filled with cultivators deeply impressed and filled with admiration for Lin Xuankong during this time, and having heard numerous accolades that might typically lead to numbness, one never truly tired of hearing praise!

Of course, maintaining a humble and low-key approach remained essential. Thus, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yuɣɥɡɣɥɣ said with a solemn expression, "Since my Xuankong possesses some skill in artifact refining, during this critical Immortal-Demon War, it is only natural he must go all out to assist the Human Race of the Immortal Realm. It is precisely what he ought to do!"

Tsk, tsk, my Xuankong… The Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader was left utterly speechless.

Possessing such dignity, to be a Strongest Immortal Lord who had reached this realm in just over ten thousand years—her progress was not inferior even to that of Immortal Lord Feiyun—this Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yuɣɥɡɣ, by completely disregarding her esteemed status, had proactively and repeatedly declared Xuankong as "hers"… Among Fourth Grade Realm Earth Immortals throughout history, the only one capable of evoking such devotion from her was likely Immortal Lin!

However, upon recalling the two most exceptional young prodigies of his own Qilin Race, the Cyan-forehead Qilin and the White-forehead Qilin, who invariably referred to Lin Xuankong as "my Young Master" with every mention, this Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader could only feel a profound sense of helplessness.

While these two powerful Strongest Immortal Lords engaged in conversation,

the immense swarm of shimmering lights, which had been visible from thousands of li away, had already arrived above the Wine Immortal Sect.

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yuɣɥɡɣ and the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader turned their gazes upward, recognizing the newcomers as the numerous powerhouses who had been previously stationed at the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.

Leading the assembly was Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, the foremost figure of the Human Race in the Immortal Realm. To his left stood Lin Xuankong's master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, Yaan Mingyu; and to his right was Immortal Lord Feiyun, renowned as the paramount genius in Attack Techniques. Following these three prominent Human Race Strongest Immortal Lords were an additional twenty cultivators, also Strongest Immortal Lords from various Immortal Sects—with Immortal Lord Qiaan Yuan, Immortal Lord Kunyuan, and others among them.

These Strongest Immortal Lords of the Human Race in the Immortal Realm each emanated incredibly potent fluctuations of Immortal Yuan. These Immortal Yuan emanations continuously manifested a spectrum of awe-inspiring phenomena: graceful ripples resembling celestial blossoms unfurling, majestic illusions of cosmic cycles like the rising sun and setting moon, peculiar scenes of myriad Flying Swords swarming through the void, and an endless parade of exotic beasts continuously appearing and vanishing!

These phenomena were so vast they nearly enveloped the entirety of the skies, stretching for hundreds, even thousands of li, above the Wine Immortal Sect. It was truly a breathtaking spectacle, akin to the divine descent of Immortals from the heavens!

In summation, as these Strongest Immortal Lords from the Human Race of the Immortal Realm hovered in mid-air, the power radiating from them was in no way inferior to the potent aura previously displayed outside the Wine Immortal Sect by First Demon Lord Fan Yu, Celestial Eye Demon Lord, Ten Thousand Forms Demon Lord, Soul Shifting Demon Lord, and their cohort of Demon Lords when they had united to unleash their devastating Attack Techniques upon the Wine Immortal Sect. Their presence was imbued with an overwhelming pressure, complemented by a unique, vibrant spiritual essence characteristic of the Immortal Realm.

On the opposing side stood the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader, the Black Tortoise Race Elder Clan Leader, and the Fire Phoenix Race Elder Clan Leader, all hailing from Boundaryless Mountain, alongside other powerhouse cultivators of the Demon Races holding Strongest Immortal Lord-level cultivation. The phenomena emanating from these Demon Race Strongest Immortal Lords differed distinctly from those of their Human Race counterparts; the fluctuations released by these Demon Kings, all at the Strongest Immortal Lord level from Boundaryless Mountain, primarily manifested as resplendent, multicolored clouds and ethereal mists!

These clouds and mists, perpetually ascending and drifting, artfully concealed the colossal forms of the Demon Kings, each a Strongest Immortal Lord. Their immense, imposing physiques, originally radiating fierce and intimidating energy, were now shrouded in an aura of profound mystery.

While the number of these Demon Kings from Boundaryless Mountain, holding the rank of Strongest Immortal Lord, was slightly less than that of the Human Race's contingent of Strongest Immortal Lords, their collective momentum was by no means inferior! After all, setting aside all other considerations, the sheer, towering might of the Demon Kings' colossal bodies, reminiscent of Ancient Divine Beasts descending upon the mortal world, naturally exuded an awe-inspiring presence!

In contrast, the Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism radiated an aura of Immortal Yuan that was characterized by its profound simplicity and purity.

Under the guidance of Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, numerous Spirit Platform Buddhism Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas hovered in the sky. Even without actively unleashing any formidable Buddhist Techniques, their bodies radiated an immense Golden Body Buddha's Light. Within this divine radiance, diverse Buddhist Secret Patterns and awe-inspiring visions manifested. Though not overtly menacing, the aura exuded was one of profound solemnity and sanctity, stirring an innate sense of longing in all observers.

These powerhouses, at the pinnacle of the Strongest Immortal Lord realm, hailing from various Immortal Sects, clans, and the Spirit Platform Buddhism, possessed individual might comparable to the Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, despite not having undergone the Metamorphosis through Celestial Demon Power. Each of them brimmed with an abundance of righteous qi and an unyielding, honorable spirit!

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er and the venerable Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race exchanged a knowing look. In unison, they channeled their Immortal Yuan and ascended, heading towards the exterior of the Luo Water Array.
