Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1179 500: Breaking a Hundred Layers of Grand Arrays with a Flip of the Hand (Part 2)

The Yellow Springs Demon Lord cast a look towards the Hehuan Demon Lord, his brow raising slightly as he spoke, "Hehuan, this time your destination is a heavily guarded assembly of the Immortal Realm Human Race's powerful cultivators! Not only will the twenty-nine Strongest Immortal Lords of the Human Race be present, but also every Clan Leader-level expert from the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and the formidable Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, among others!

Most importantly, Lin Xuankong, who possesses great skill in array manipulation, along with his master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, will also be in attendance!

Should things go awry... should we face failure, your retreat might not be an easy feat!"

By this point, the Hehuan Demon Lord had already regained her footing. Upon hearing the Yellow Springs Demon Lord's words, a slight tremor ran through her, and she let out a soft laugh,

"Brother Yellow Springs, do not forget, the Saint Heir recently utilized the Saint Monarch's power to bolster the capabilities of many fellow disciples. You and I have been the greatest beneficiaries of this strength enhancement! My demonic techniques have now undergone a complete Metamorphosis, and I have even attained mastery over techniques previously practiced by the Soul Shifting Saint Master and the Ten Thousand Forms Saint Master!"

As she proclaimed this, a hint of pride flickered across her alluring countenance,

"My current Holy Technique surpasses even that of the First Saint Master who met his end at the hands of the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha!"

"Hmph, the trivial Wine Immortal Sect is no match for me. Even if numerous Strongest Immortal Lords from the Immortal Realm Human Race, the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and the Spirit Platform Buddhism were to convene, how could I possibly falter within the Wine Immortal Sect... unless that Jade Bright Celestial Buddha were to return to this Golden Dragon Immortal Realm!"

Observing the Hehuan Demon Lord's ostentatious display of confidence, the Yellow Springs Demon Lord couldn't help but knit his brows more intensely, making a silent resolution within his heart.

....

In the span of a breath,

six days had elapsed.

Within the Luo Water Array, deep inside the cave abode of the First Spirit Peak belonging to the Wine Immortal Sect, Lin Xuankong was found in a state of deep meditation.

Lin Xuankong, seated in a cross-legged posture upon the stone bed, was profoundly engrossed in his practice of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. Suddenly, his entire being erupted with a golden radiance, and innumerable Buddhist Secret Patterns manifested upon his skin, enveloping his body entirely.

Yet, as he cultivated, Lin Xuankong's brow was furrowed deep in concentration, indicating he was enduring some peculiar agony or confronting an perplexing quandary.

Not far from him,

the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er, who was keeping watch over Lin Xuankong, observed this spectacle. She ceased her own cultivation, rising with a perceptible measure of apprehension, her gaze fixed upon Lin Xuankong with evident concern.

Despite her considerable worry, she understood that Lin Xuankong was fully absorbed in his cultivation, standing at a critical juncture of enlightenment. At such a moment, regardless of the outcome, any disturbance would be detrimental and could lead to adverse repercussions.

However, as she witnessed the resplendent Buddha's Light radiating from Lin Xuankong's form and the dense, myriad Buddhist Secret Patterns appearing, this beloved companion of the Strongest Immortal Lord, Lin Xuankong, felt not only a surge of anxiety but also a trace of perplexity in her eyes.

"How peculiar. The Buddha's Light emanating from Xuankong is exceptionally righteous and brilliant, and the countless Buddhist Secret Patterns gracing his skin possess such profound mystique. It bears an uncanny resemblance to the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique that the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha displayed prior to his celestial tribulation. In terms of the intensity of the Buddha's Light, the sheer number of secret patterns, or even their very form, they are virtually identical!

But I distinctly recall Xuankong learning the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique for the very first time from Little Bodhisattva Galin.

Considering the time elapsed since then, it has been little more than a month. Even if Xuankong managed to activate the hundredfold time acceleration effect provided by the Luo Water Array during his cultivation, it amounts to merely over thirty thousand days, roughly a decade!

Within such a limited timeframe, let alone reaching an advanced stage of such an intricate Buddhist cultivation technique; even achieving an introductory level of any complex Superior Immortal Technique would present a formidable challenge!

And yet, why does it appear so similar to the manifestation of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique when performed by Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva?

Or could it be that the visual phenomena associated with an Entry Level Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique and one at the Perfection Realm are indistinguishable?

Alas, I have never personally practiced this particular Buddhist Divine Skill, leaving me unable to make any definitive judgment!"

The formidable Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the Buddhist Secret Patterns adorning Lin Xuankong. The more she observed, the greater her bewilderment.

Little did she know, under the Luo Water Array's hundredfold time dilation, Lin Xuankong's actual cultivation spanned merely a decade. This brief period was dedicated to the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. However, bolstered by his 'Old and Wise' talent, it was as if he had spent millennia cultivating, accumulating boundless Immortal Yuan!

At this very moment, Lin Xuankong,

was fully enmeshed in the flow of Immortal Yuan,

within his inner perception, a full ten thousand Golden Body Secret Patterns had materialized throughout his being. These patterns, dispersed across his entire form, bestowed upon his Immortal Body a physical prowess equivalent to ten thousand Buddhist Divine Elephants. This level of pure strength mirrored that of the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva just before transcending to the Celestial Buddha Realm!

Consequently,

should Lin Xuankong face peril,

he could fully unleash the Golden Patterned Buddha Shield, a manifestation of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. This shield could effortlessly deflect devastating Immortal Techniques. Even an assault like the Celestial Eye Demon Lord's crimson beam, imbued with the Curse of Time, would be met by the Golden Patterned Buddha Shield, allowing him to endure for an exceptionally prolonged duration, far surpassing the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva's past resilience!

For within Lin Xuankong's 'Vigorous in Old Age' Life Plate, beyond the cultivation-accelerating 'Old and Wise' talent and esoteric abilities like 'Bullying the Weak', lay another potent defensive skill he rarely employed—'Growing Stronger with Age'!

------- Life Plate fifth talent: [Growing Stronger with Age] Rule Talent. Upon activation, for a finite period, it fortifies the body and Divine Soul's defenses proportional to one's age. At the current age of one hundred eighty-six, it grants a one hundred eighty-sixfold enhancement to defense, persisting for eighteen breaths. This talent requires an eighteen-day cooldown after each use.

When the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva once invoked the Golden Patterned Buddha Shield via the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique,

it proved capable of repelling the cataclysmic assaults of the fourth heavenly tribulation, the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation—a trial renowned as Legendary!

Now, should Lin Xuankong employ the same realm of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, further amplified by the 'Growing Stronger with Age' Rule Talent, imbuing the Golden Patterned Buddha Shield with one hundred eighty-six times its normal defensive capacity...

the threat posed by not just the fourth round of the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, but even the fifth, sixth, or seventh, would be negligible. Lin Xuankong would not even require his High-Grade Immortal Artifacts!

However,

Lin Xuankong remained unfulfilled at this juncture,

he continued to channel the potent Immortal Yuan coursing through his veins, meticulously inscribing new Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique patterns within the secluded recesses of his Immortal Body, in areas yet untouched or unintegrated by the existing formations!

Having now mastered the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, Lin Xuankong was acutely aware that engraving the ten thousand and first Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique pattern would signify shattering the technique's inherent limits, ascending to the Ultimate Realm, and potentially realizing the vision described by Little Bodhisattva Galin. This involved inscribing and embedding numerous additional patterns within his Immortal Body—perhaps fifteen thousand, twenty thousand, or even more!

In such a scenario, the astonishing physical fortitude his Immortal Body would command would surge dramatically, escalating from the might of ten thousand Buddhist Divine Elephants to fifteen thousand, twenty thousand, and beyond. Furthermore, upon activating the Golden Patterned Buddha Shield of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, its defensive power would experience an astronomical surge!

This Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique could very well serve as the bedrock for achieving absolute perfection and immense power during the latter stages of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm, particularly when confronting the ultimate heavenly tribulation!

Undeterred, I must devise a method to circumvent the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique's limitations and successfully inscribe yet another pattern within my Immortal Body!
