Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1177 499: Nine Thousand Divine Elephants (Part 2)

With the exceptional talent of Old and Wise, Lin Xuankong's cultivation speed and overall progress accelerate with each passing year. This drives Lin Xuankong to earnestly study the Luo Water Array, aiming to reach its Third Realm. Success there would unlock even more potent time acceleration effects, allowing his age to advance more rapidly!

Furthermore, the astonishing talent known as Growing Stronger with Age amplifies its potency as Lin Xuankong matures, bestowing upon him extraordinarily robust defensive capabilities!

However, over the prolonged years,

even when faced with the gravest of perils, Lin Xuankong has never experienced a genuine sense of crisis. Consequently, this formidable Growing Stronger with Age talent has seen almost no activation!

A peculiar inconvenience of being excessively powerful is that defensive-oriented talents rarely find an opportunity to be utilized...

Apart from these astounding talents that stem from the Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate and improve with age,

Lin Xuankong's most gratifying achievement during these nine years of secluded cultivation is the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique!

As Little Bodhisattva Galin previously explained, this technique is notoriously difficult to cultivate. It demands a powerful Divine Soul and consumes an immense quantity of Immortal Yuan, making it a challenge for even the most prominent Immortal Sects to support a disciple in mastering it!

Yet, for Lin Xuankong, these prerequisites present no obstacles!

Nine years of cultivation, a fleeting period for most cultivators and even for the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, amounts to just over thirty thousand days of continuous practice. But for Lin Xuankong, thanks to the miraculous Old and Wise talent, these nine years are akin to nearly two thousand years of cultivation!

Admittedly, even two millennia is not considered an excessive duration for Earth Immortal Level experts in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. After all, Little Bodhisattva Galin of Spirit Platform Buddhism has cultivated for several thousand years!

The crucial distinction, however, is this:

while Little Bodhisattva Galin also practices the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique,

how could she possibly compare to Lin Xuankong's Supreme Divine Soul Realm? In terms of resources, she lags far behind Lin Xuankong. Despite Galin being the True Disciple of Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva and possessing considerable resources, Lin Xuankong benefits from the complete output of the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm. This realm is vast, approaching half the size of the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, which hints at the sheer scale of Lin Xuankong's Immortal Yuan reserves!

This dual advantage,

even when contrasted with the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva who achieved Perfection Realm in the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, leaves Lin Xuankong in a vastly superior position. Although the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva holds an esteemed status within Spirit Platform Buddhism, the sect's immense resources are distributed among twenty Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas, significantly diminishing individual shares.

Consequently,

within the brief span of nine years,

drawing upon the Supreme Divine Soul of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm and the boundless resources from the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone,

Lin Xuankong has astonishingly mastered the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique to a near-perfect level!

Presently, as Lin Xuankong looks inward,

he can clearly perceive the intricate network of muscle and flesh within his body, adorned with various Buddhist Secret Patterns. Under their influence, his physique manifests an incredible number of up to nine thousand microscopic Buddhist Exotic Beast Divine Elephants!

Each of these Buddhist Exotic Beast Divine Elephants signifies a unit of Buddhist Divine Elephant Power possessed by Lin Xuankong. The count of nine thousand eight hundred and sixty-two Divine Elephants indicates that Lin Xuankong wields precisely that many units of Divine Elephant Power!

Even without activating the strength of these myriad micro Divine Elephants at this moment, Lin Xuankong can still feel the immense brute force inherent in those nine thousand eight hundred and sixty-two Divine Elephants.

"With this Divine Elephant Power, even relying solely on the raw strength of my Initial Stage Strongest Immortal Lord Immortal Body, I should easily vanquish certain Demon Lord-level adversaries from the Profound Yin Demon Sect! As for these Divine Elephants, once fully unleashed and transformed into the Golden Patterned Buddha Shield within the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, the resulting defensive power will be even more formidable!"

Grant me a bit more time; once I reach the Perfection Realm, I should be able to emulate the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha of old and, relying solely on Immortal Techniques and my own strength, withstand the initial four waves of attacks from the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation without any external aid during my Celestial Tribulation! This will allow me to forge an exceptionally robust and deep foundation with the tribulation's power. Then, upon ascending to the Supreme Origin Realm, I can establish a solid footing, ensuring I won't be a mere fledgling at the bottom of a vast world!

Lin Xuankong conducted an internal scan, a slight smile gracing his lips.

Soon, however, a hint of eagerness flickered in his eyes.

"According to Little Bodhisattva Galin, this Buddhist Divine Technique, the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, is immensely potent, potentially surpassing the Perfection Realm. There exists a more powerful Ultimate Realm for the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique! I'm uncertain if this is merely Little Bodhisattva Galin's speculation or if the technique truly possesses such might!

If continuous cultivation allows breakthroughs to higher echelons… couldn't that mean that when facing the final Celestial Tribulation in the future, even encountering extraordinarily rare Legendary Level tribulations like the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, I might still possess the capacity to resist the terrifying fifth, sixth, and even seventh waves of assault without external support? This would pave the way for a profound and unique foundation, hitherto unknown in ancient times!"

With this exhilarating prospect in mind, Lin Xuankong focused his Heart Spirit, preparing to resume his cultivation. Suddenly sensing something, he gazed outside his cave abode to see the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er flying toward him.

Upon landing beside Lin Xuankong, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er recounted the recent events outside and then voiced her exasperation:

"Sigh, these old ancestors truly are a handful. Every single one is clamoring to see you immediately, acting as if they haven't seen an old lover in a hundred thousand years! Had Immortal Lord Luoshui not intervened, these venerable figures might have barged right into your cave, disrupting your cultivation!"

Hearing this amusing comparison from his beloved, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but chuckle. "If Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect and Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva were to hear you speak of them like this, they might immediately report you to Master Qiaan Yuan, seeking a scolding!"

The Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er paused momentarily at his words, then vigorously shook her head. "How could that be? Ever since I attained the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm, my Master Qiaan Yuan has been notably more circumspect when addressing me. Previously, he would assign tasks without hesitation, but now, he refrains from burdening me. Moreover, Master Qiaan Yuan has always held me, his gifted disciple, in high regard and under his protection, never willing to punish me!"

She then glanced at Lin Xuankong, her eyebrows lifting slightly. "Alright, enough pleasantries. Now that all those revered ancestors have gathered at the Wine Immortal Sect, do you intend to emerge from seclusion and meet the esteemed elders from the various sects and clans? They are exceedingly curious about your role in turning the tide at the Wine Immortal Sect and your crucial assistance to the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha in attaining his fruit status!"

Lin Xuankong pondered for a moment, then subtly shook his head.

Being someone who prefers a low-key existence, such matters held little appeal for him. For anyone else who had accomplished such a monumental feat for the entire Immortal Realm, their pride would likely be reaching the heavens. They would eagerly meet these venerable figures, simply to bask in their awestruck, envious, and astonished gazes!

As for Lin Xuankong,

his current highest priority was to continue cultivating the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique.

He was eager to ascertain if this paramount defensive Buddhist Technique could be elevated to greater heights before the full commencement of the final Immortal Demon War!

He yearned to discover if the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique could grant him the power of over ten thousand Buddhist Divine Elephants, and if it could bestow upon him a more formidable Buddhist technique than the one wielded by the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva in his prime!
