Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1202 - 511: That Streak of Golden Light (Part 2)

Furthermore, even though these eighteen esteemed elders, including Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, had each proclaimed that the cultivation of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique doesn't cease at ten thousand Buddha Patterns, and that a potentially mightier, ultimate pinnacle of one hundred thousand Buddha Patterns exists, over sixteen million years, not a single soul has attained it. Let alone one hundred thousand Buddha Patterns, not even ten thousand and one Buddha Patterns has anyone ever reached!

Who could have foreseen that the ultimate state of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, which had vexed so many venerable seniors, would now manifest in a Cultivator who isn't even a disciple of our Buddhist Sect!

Amitabha Buddha, perhaps this is fate's decree, unseen by mortal eyes!"

At this declaration, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, alongside the other Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas from Spirit Platform Buddhism, all turned their gazes towards Lin Xuankong. They clasped their palms together in unison and chanted the Buddha's name.

Among these Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas, some had eyes brimming with sheer shock and elation.

These venerable figures from Spirit Platform Buddhism, aside from marveling at the miraculous sight before them, felt an even greater joy upon witnessing Lin Xuankong cultivate this potent Buddhist technique of their own Sect to such an astonishing degree.

At this juncture,

the foremost Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm's Human Race and the supreme Demon Kings from the Boundless Mountain Demon Race, having absorbed the discussions of the many Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas from Spirit Platform Buddhism, could not suppress the masks of astonishment that appeared on their faces.

Although they had never personally practiced the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique of Spirit Platform Buddhism, even if one hasn't partaken, one has certainly witnessed the cooking. These seasoned powerhouses, whose lifespans casually extend beyond ten thousand years, had naturally all heard tales of the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique's immense power and the notorious difficulty in its cultivation!

Yet, this incredibly potent Buddhist technique was actually mastered by Lin Xuankong—and he attained its ultimate state, a level unprecedented in history and likely never to be replicated: one hundred thousand Divine Elephants. What was most astounding was the remarkably short duration Lin Xuankong spent cultivating this technique—not even two months, merely a little over one month!

Within such a brief timeframe,

one could never expect mastery of a top-tier Buddhist Technique from Spirit Platform Buddhism, notoriously challenging to cultivate. Even the most common Immortal Sect Immortal Technique could absolutely not be cultivated to an ultimate realm surpassing the Perfection Realm!

Upon contemplating this, how could the most powerful Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm's Human Race, and the leading Clan Leaders of the Boundless Mountain Demon Race with their peculiar physiques, not be utterly astonished, not be surprised, not be rendered speechless!

Naturally, the individual most profoundly shocked at this very moment was the Young Bodhisattva Galin, who had passed the technique to Lin Xuankong.

When this Young Bodhisattva Galin initially imparted the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique to Lin Xuankong, she could never have fathoms that this Lin Xuankong would prove to be such an anomaly, such a monstrous prodigy, such a phenomenon—capable of achieving, in such, such, such a fleeting period, the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, which she herself had practiced for several millennia without even reaching the Entry Level, all the way to this astonishing ultimate realm!

"Compared to Immortal Lin, Galin, oh Galin, you truly cannot even match one ten-thousandth of his prowess!"

This Young Bodhisattva Galin whispered to herself,

and as her gaze fell especially upon the spectral images of the Divine Elephants encircling Lin Xuankong's form, her heart was consumed by a sense of despair, recognizing the utter impossibility of ever catching up.

As for the ever-proud Immortal Lord Feiyun, she couldn't help but furrow her brows at this moment, inquiring with a perplexed tone:

"Esteemed Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas, surely you jest? Has Fellow Daoist Lin truly managed to cultivate your revered Sect's Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique—renowned as the most arduous Buddhist Technique to master—to its ultimate realm? Yet, is his Immortal Path Realm not merely at the Fourth Grade? Could a Fourth Grade Realm Earth Immortal possibly cultivate such a supreme Buddhist Technique, and furthermore, in such, such, a brief period, bring this Buddhist Technique, which only Buddhist Bodhisattvas are permitted to train in, all the way to its ultimate state?"

Immortal Lord Feiyun’s statement was not born from a reluctance to see Lin Xuankong grow stronger, but rather from the sheer astonishment her ears had just processed!

Even she, an esteemed Immortal Lord celebrated as the foremost master of Immortal Techniques among the Human Race in the Immortal Realm, had dedicated close to ten millennia to perfecting her Sect’s Flying Cloud Immortal Technique! Following her subsequent enhancements, the technique ascended to even greater power, appearing to brush against the very zenith of the Ultimate Realm—a realm she had painstakingly pursued for tens of thousands of years!

And yet, the Lin Xuankong before her claimed to have mastered a profoundly challenging, top-tier Buddhist technique, elevating it to the Ultimate Realm in merely "a little over a month"?

This profound chasm of achievement was a reality the exceedingly proud Immortal Lord Feiyun struggled to accept.

Nevertheless,

the instant Immortal Lord Feiyun voiced her thoughts,

the assembled Immortal Lords of the Human Race, the eminent Clan Leaders from Boundaryless Mountain, and the accomplished Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism all underwent a shift in their demeanor, recalling Lin Xuankong’s current Immortal Path Realm!

Among them, Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect felt compelled to extend his Supreme Realm Divine Soul, cautiously probing in Lin Xuankong’s direction.

In the subsequent moment,

the expression of Sect Leader Qiu, recognized as the foremost figure in the Immortal World, contorted with remarkable speed.

Elder Qiu, the First Grand Elder of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect and one who had already been surpassed by Lin Xuankong, observed his own Sect Master—his most potent disciple—displaying such a rapid change in countenance, prompting him to inquire, "Sect Master, did you ascertain something when you utilized your Divine Soul to examine Fellow Daoist Lin just now?"

Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect’s face betrayed a cascade of shifting emotions. After fixing his gaze upon Lin Xuankong for several sustained breaths, he finally spoke, his voice laden with profound feeling:

"Only now do I grasp the true meaning of the saying, 'beyond the high mountain lies a higher one.' It seems a truly perfect, astonishing, and utterly peerless prodigy does indeed exist in this world, one far beyond even my own capabilities to comprehend!"

At this juncture, Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, employing the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm’s Supreme Divine Soul, had unequivocally perceived Lin Xuankong’s actual Immortal Path Realm – the Early Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord!

It was precisely this revelation that sent an earth-shattering tremor through Sect Leader Qiu’s heart.

Despite having encountered Lin Xuankong on only two occasions, he had thoroughly familiarized himself with Lin Xuankong’s origins, cultivation journey, lineage, and innate talents. Nevertheless, he had never, not even in his wildest imaginings, conceived that Lin Xuankong, who had only joined the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect in the Immortal Realm a few decades prior, had already attained the status of a genuine Strongest Immortal Lord!

From antiquity to the present era,

spanning over tens of millions of years within the Human Race of the Immortal Realm,

prodigies defying the heavens and geniuses without equal had emerged in numbers immeasurable, akin to countless carp crossing a river. This was hardly surprising, given the Immotal Realm Human Race’s profoundly ancient existence!

Yet, across this unfathomably vast expanse of time, within the extensive archives of the Sect’s lore, Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect could uncover no record of any Cultivator who had ascended to the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm with such a terrifying, astounding, and utterly "unbeatable" Cultivation Speed!

A mere few decades—for the vast majority of Earth Immortals, this duration was scarcely more than a fleeting moment.

It could encompass a casual excursion to visit a fellow Daoist or a brief period of secluded cultivation, yet consume several decades of an Earth Immortal’s life!

And now, the Lin Xuankong before him had, within this scant span of decades, risen from a commoner in the Great Xia Dynasty, situated at the Immortal Realm’s periphery, to become a Strongest Immortal Lord?

Utterly monstrous, terrifyingly unnatural—far, far, far too monstrous! For a prolonged moment, Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect felt his Dao Heart falter; the tranquil state of mind he had cultivated for over a hundred thousand years began to completely unravel!

Precisely at this critical juncture,

Lin Xuankong, having pushed the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique in its Ultimate Realm to its absolute pinnacle, suddenly unleashed a brilliant cascade of one hundred thousand rays of Buddhist golden light emanating from his entire being.

In the ensuing instant, he advanced a single step forward.

Merely one step,

a singular movement,

With a sky filled with Buddhist Phenomena, he transformed into a streak of golden light, ascending above the miniature Grand Array of the Two Realms and Luo Water. He positioned himself as a shield before his master, Immortal Lord Luoshui.

This action,

its velocity was so extreme it pushed the very limits of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm.

Only the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha, Yu Ming, upon reaching the Supreme Origin Realm, had ever moved with such haste!

This singular step,

its incredible speed,

was utterly breathtaking.

Within the Wine Immortal Sect, where the most formidable powers from the Immortal Realm's Human Race, the Boundaryless Mountain Demon Race, and Spirit Platform Buddhism converged at the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm, none could react in time. No one, save for the man revered as the First of the Immortal World—Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, who housed the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm’s Supreme Realm Divine Soul—could even track Lin Xuankong’s swift movement!
