Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1181 501: Extreme Maneuvering (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
As the final inscription on the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique neared completion, reaching seven-tenths, it was met with formidable resistance from the world's power. This immense pressure shattered the connection between the technique's nine secret patterns, causing the last one to ultimately falter!
However, a surge of exhilaration coursed through Lin Xuankong. Achieving seven-tenths completion on the final pattern by outlining multiple secret patterns simultaneously was an unprecedented leap!
He pondered further, envisioning the possibility of outlining even more secret patterns in concert. Could this lead to breakthroughs of four-fifths, nine-tenths, or even the complete fusion of the final pattern into his very being?
In the very next moment,
The swirling Immortal Yuan around Lin Xuankong intensified, its energy becoming extraordinarily potent.
Mobilizing an even greater volume of Immortal Yuan, he channeled it through the profound Buddhist techniques of the Golden Body Demon Suppression. This potent energy was then meticulously shaped into incredibly fine streams, gradually inscribing the secret patterns onto the parts of Lin Xuankong's Immortal body that had yet to bear them!
At this juncture, Lin Xuankong was simultaneously inscribing thirty-six secret patterns of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique...
Should the revered Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism, renowned for their mastery of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, learn that someone had managed to imprint twenty-four of its secret patterns onto their Immortal body simultaneously, their minds would reel in utter disbelief! The sheer demand on Immortal Yuan is astronomically high, nearly equivalent to the combined power of three to four peak Immortal Lord powerhouses. Even the accomplished Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, or the revered Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva who had ascended to Celestial Buddha status, could never achieve such a feat!
Furthermore, the simultaneous inscription of thirty-six intricate secret patterns of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique places an equally immense burden on the Divine Soul! This is due to the complexity of positioning and angling the patterns across various points of the Immortal body, essentially demanding the execution of thirty-six incredibly taxing mental tasks at once!
Across the entirety of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, setting aside the immense Immortal Yuan requirement, the mere mental feat of simultaneously outlining thirty-six complex Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique patterns is a feat only achievable by Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, who possesses the legendary Supreme Divine Soul of the Immortal realm. Even considering his capabilities, the consumption of Immortal Yuan would render him incapable of matching Lin Xuankong's current exploit!
Undoubtedly, inscribing the thirty-six Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique patterns simultaneously at varied locations, angles, and depths within his flesh and blood was pushing Lin Xuankong perilously close to his absolute limit! While Immortal Yuan was not an issue, his Divine Soul, despite being of the Immortal realm, was not the Supreme Divine Soul of the Supreme Origin Realm, thus not yet possessing omnipotent capabilities!
At this very instant, the sheer magnitude of Immortal Yuan being simultaneously mobilized by Lin Xuankong drew the attention of the vigilant protector, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er, who stood watch from a considerable distance.
Sensing the violent tremors of Immortal Yuan radiating from Lin Xuankong's form, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er, who had hitherto believed Lin Xuankong to still be a Fourth-Grade Earth Immortal, could only stare with wide eyes, her usually composed features etched with profound disbelief.
"Good heavens, what is this? How can such immense Immortal Yuan fluctuations erupt from Xuankong's Immortal body!
These levels of Immortal Yuan surges, let alone for a Fourth-Grade Earth Immortal, far surpass the capabilities of any Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, or even Ninth Grade Perfection Earth Immortal. Even I, at the nascent stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord, cannot generate such powerful fluctuations when channeling my Immortal Yuan!
Not even in my initial Strongest Immortal Lord stage, nor when Master Qiaan Yuan and Uncle Kunyuan unleash their full might with the Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill, do they produce Immortal Yuan fluctuations of this intensity!
Xuankong... that perplexing Xuankong, what other secrets does he harbor from me? What is his true Earth Immortal Realm grade? This infuriating fellow, could he have actually reached the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm long ago!
Yet, he only joined the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect a few decades past. Even under the tutelage of Elder Luo Water Immortal Lord and immersed in the Luo Water Array that accelerates time, his total cultivation period cannot exceed one or two centuries at most!"
Is it truly conceivable to ascend from the Initial Tier Earth Immortal to the apex of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm in a mere century or two?
Even in the bygone Ancient Era, when spiritual treasures and heavenly resources were abundant, no Human, Demon, or Unbounded Mountain Demon from any Immortal Realm ever achieved the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm with such astonishing rapidity! We're speaking not of a minor rank, but the zenith of power – the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm!
Yet, these profound Immortal Yuan surges... they are magnitudes greater, perhaps ten times stronger, than what I can summon. This unequivocally indicates the presence of a powerhouse at the Perfection Level of the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm, capable of unleashing such immense Immortal Yuan!
Could it be that this individual, Xuankong, has secretly attained the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm?
If this is indeed the case, it implies that Xuankong's aptitude for Immortal Path cultivation vastly surpasses his skills in Artifact Refining or Array Formations! To reach the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm in just one or two hundred years would be an unheard-of legend within the Immortal realm...
The exceedingly powerful Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er, sensing the potent fluctuations of Lin Xuankong's Immortal Yuan, watched as her delicate features shifted through a spectrum of disbelief.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuankong remained utterly engrossed in meticulously etching the secret patterns, completely oblivious that his cultivation realm might have been revealed to his beloved, the formidable Immortal Lord. However, for Lin Xuankong, the exposure of his strength to his dear Guang Yu'er held little consequence at this juncture, given their deeply intimate and trusting bond. It was precisely this trust that led him to appoint her as the guardian of his secluded cultivation!
For Lin Xuankong, the utmost priority at this critical moment was the impending completion of the thirty-six secret patterns of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique!
The outcome, success or failure, rested precariously on this very endeavor.
The acquisition of over ten thousand Golden Body secret patterns was of paramount importance to Lin Xuankong...
...
Upon the Ninth Spirit Peak of the Wine Immortal Sect.
The Cyan-forehead Qilin and White-forehead Qilin, alongside several promising young talents from the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, cast anxious glances in all directions.
Ever since the forward scouts transmitted the news that the Profound Yin Demon Sect's three armies had converged, approaching within a distance of one billion three hundred million miles from the Wine Immortal Sect, an palpable tension had gripped the entire sect!
Despite Lin Xuankong's establishment of the formidable Hundredfold Luo Water Array, and with the esteemed contributions of Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect Leader Qiu, the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, Elder of the Cyan Dragon Clan, and other powerful figures, the atmosphere within the Wine Immortal Sect remained undeniably strained! After all, the outcome of this imminent confrontation could very well dictate the fate of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm for the next billion years!
The Profound Yin Demon Sect's Demon Child, Gang Bone, spearheaded the formidable forces of his sect, advancing to confront the righteous path of the Immortal realm... a power reputedly standing half a step into the dreaded Celestial Demon stage!
Especially after witnessing the breathtaking display of Jade Bright Celestial Buddha effortlessly obliterating millions of Demon Sect powerhouses, every cultivator within the Wine Immortal Sect, and the young talents hailing from various sects and clans, were profoundly shaken by the sheer might emanating from the Upper Realm! Their cultivation efforts spanning millennia, their very Immortal bodies, seemed as fragile as sandcastles against such overwhelming power! It wasn't merely these young talents who felt inadequate; even powerhouses at the Strongest Immortal Lord level were crushed with apparent ease.
Consequently, even with the seemingly impregnable Luo Water Array in place, and the convergence of numerous Immortal realm experts, a sense of security was all but lost for these younger disciples!
"Those Demon Sect adversaries have halted their advance one billion three hundred million miles away; I cannot fathom their intentions! Curse this agonizing uncertainty! This constant apprehension regarding their potential assault is truly unnerving!"
"Indeed, with the Profound Yin Demon Sect's formidable army so close to the Wine Immortal Sect, why do they hesitate to strike directly? Their ominous stillness is baffling! It's immensely frustrating; I've completely lost the desire to cultivate these past few days!"
A few young talents from the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race voiced their bewilderment, gazing intently into the distance.
The Cyan-forehead Qilin and White-forehead Qilin exchanged a knowing look, their attention eventually converging on the location of the Wine Immortal Sect's First Spirit Peak, the very place where Lin Xuankong was deep in his secluded cultivation.
These two young monarchs of the Qilin Race each harbored a complex tapestry of emotions within their eyes as they observed the unfolding situation.
