Lin Xuankong is urged by multiple powerful figures, including Immortal Lord Qiaan Yuan and the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader, not to leave the protective Luo Water Array to save his master, Immortal Lord Luoshui. They argue his Fourth Grade Earth Immortal Realm cultivation is insufficient against the formidable Supreme Demon Body of the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord. Despite their pleas and even a desperate embrace from Elder Qiu, Lin Xuankong hears his master's desperate plea as the array weakens. As the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord taunts them, Lin Xuankong begins reciting Buddhist scriptures, baffling onlookers who recognize it as the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, a technique they believed he hadn't mastered.

Within the hallowed grounds of the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect,

Those who practice the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique are a rare sight indeed.

However, the vast majority of them have at least touched upon this Buddhist cultivation method and grasp its arduous nature.

Among them,

The Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva herself has personally felt the immense challenge of mastering the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique!

As the foremost practitioner within the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect, renowned for her unparalleled demon-suppressing prowess and holding the highest rank among many Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva undoubtedly possesses an extraordinary Wisdom Root and a talent far surpassing her peers. Yet, even she has failed to reach the Perfection Realm of the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva in her cultivation of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique over ten thousand years!

By Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva's estimation, even if the esteemed Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva were to ascend to the Upper Realm and no longer require substantial resources for her cultivation, and if the entirety of the Spirit Platform Buddhism's resources were dedicated to her, it would still necessitate several hundred more years to perfect this exceptionally demanding Buddhist technique!

And preceding her, Lin Xuankong,

had only recently acquired the cultivation method for the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique from the Little Bodhisattva Galin, barely over a month ago at most.

In such a fleeting period, the question isn't merely about achieving any level of proficiency in the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique; it's even uncertain if he could fully memorize its intricate secrets and subsequently forge the initial Buddhist Secret Pattern within his own body!

Yet, at this very juncture,

how could Lin Xuankong be reciting the Buddhist Mantras with such flawless fluency? Every rhythm, every pause, every intonation, and even the activation of his Immortal Yuan seemed to subtly resonate with a profound, mystical law, sounding even more attuned to the profound depths of the Golden Body True Demon Technique than her own recitation!

This turn of events was exceptionally, remarkably, extraordinarily peculiar!

Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva regarded Lin Xuankong with a mixture of disbelief and awe, her astonishment so profound that she ceased channeling her Buddhist technique, forgetting entirely about her ongoing battle with the Hehuan Netherworld Demon Lord.

The other Great Success Bodhisattvas from the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect shared a similar bewildered reaction. While their own attainments in the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique were not as lofty as those of Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva and Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, they too had dedicated themselves to cultivating this notoriously resource-intensive and time-consuming Buddhist technique. Thus, when Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva identified Lin Xuankong's practice as the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, the other Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas immediately recognized this formidable cultivation method.

Moments later,

as Lin Xuankong's Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique reached full activation, his coalesced Immortal Yuan manifested into myriad Buddhist phenomena encircling him.

Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva and the assembled Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas of the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect were not merely surprised; they were utterly dumbfounded!

Most especially Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, her gaze fixated on the endless Buddhist phenomena radiating from Lin Xuankong's immediate vicinity. Unable to contain her overwhelming astonishment, she exclaimed,

"Is Fellow Daoist Lin truly employing the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique?

But these Buddhist phenomena... If he is indeed cultivating the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, how could he possibly achieve such a level of mastery?

With every advancement in the cultivation of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, a phantom image of a Buddhist Divine Elephant materializes during its activation. Upon attaining the Entry Level, ten such elephants manifest, and the activation of the Immortal Body results in a tenfold amplification of Divine Elephant Power, conferring a considerable edge in strength and agility against adversaries of the same cultivation Realm! Upon reaching the Minor Success Realm, a hundred elephants appear, and every movement is imbued with a hundredfold surge in Divine Elephant Power. At this stage, cultivators employing the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique are virtually invincible against opponents of comparable Realm!"

Cultivating the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique to the Great Success Realm offers a minimum thousandfold increase in Divine Elephant Power, granting exceptionally potent strength and speed. To achieve the Perfection Realm of this technique, one must engrave ten thousand Golden Body Demon Suppression Buddha Patterns throughout their meridians, flesh, and bones!

Yet, before our very eyes, Fellow Daoist Lin possesses at least one hundred thousand or more Buddhist phenomena surrounding his body!

One hundred thousand... The Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva attained Perfection in the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique. For thousands of years, I, Yu Zhen, have poured countless resources from the Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect and spent millennia, even tens of millennia, cultivating to form only a few thousand Golden Body Demon Suppression Buddha Patterns!

However, Fellow Daoist Lin displays an astonishing number of Divine Elephant shadows; this is truly difficult to comprehend!"

A Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva, standing beside Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, could not contain their astonishment:

"The Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique is among the most arduous Buddhist techniques within our Spirit Platform Buddhism Sect. Even with an abundant supply of resources, reaching the Perfection Realm demands vast stretches of time, often spanning tens of thousands of years. Should one’s Divine Soul Realm be slightly insufficient, it could prolong the cultivation to seventy, eighty thousand years, or even over a hundred thousand years, assuming ample resources!

But according to Junior Nephew Galin, Fellow Daoist Lin has only recently been introduced to the cultivation method for the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique! In such a short span, achieving even the Entry Level seems improbable, let alone reaching this level of mastery!"

With Buddhist golden light flickering in her eyes, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva declared:

"Had I not witnessed it firsthand, I would never have believed it!

The Sect's records state that since the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique was established by the first generation Great Success Mora Bodhisattva, over a period of one million six hundred thousand years, merely eighteen Bodhisattvas, in addition to Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, have successfully cultivated this exceptionally challenging technique to its Perfection Realm! Within that immense span of time, despite numerous exceptionally gifted individuals, profound wisdom roots, and great virtuous ones, only a meager eighteen Bodhisattvas achieved Perfection in the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique!
