Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1378 - 599: Divine Artifacts Are Hard to Come By (2)

This situation was naturally within Lin Xuankong’s expectations—according to the sayings of the demon heads of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race and Li Changming of the Red Water Li Family, a growth-type divine artifact is exceedingly rare, and the chances of a transformation are extremely low!

However, foreseeing it doesn’t mean that Lin Xuankong was without any regret, as the three thousand perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts before him represented the meticulous craftsmanship of both him and the artifact refining genius Xiao Xiuyi over hundreds or even thousands of years. The energy, materials, and effort expended were countless multiples more than that of ordinary ninth-grade immortal artifacts!

Nonetheless, Lin Xuankong found some comfort in the fact that,

he could clearly sense that these three thousand pieces of perfectly transformed ninth-grade immortal artifacts had become extremely solid in their artifact bodies, with an incredibly astounding speed of primordial qi transmission. Compared to ordinary ninth-grade immortal artifacts after metamorphosis, the solidity of their artifact bodies was at least twice as strong, and the speed of primordial qi flow almost twice as fast! Normally, in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts, compared to ordinary ninth-grade immortal artifacts, would be only about thirty percent stronger in terms of body solidity and immortal yuan flow speed!

Clearly, the gap between perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts and ordinary ninth-grade immortal artifacts, even if neither has transformed into a growth-type divine artifact, has been vastly expanded by the supreme primordial qi during the metamorphosis process!

Don’t just look at the solidity of the artifact body being only twice as high...twice the solidity is almost equivalent to the difference between tempered refined steel and ordinary iron; once they are in conflict, the power exhibited by weapons made from ordinary iron versus those made from tempered refined steel can be vastly different. It’s like a battle between a three-meter tall man and a 1.5-meter tall child. Even if the height difference is only one fold, in a real fight, the three-meter tall hulk could probably trounce hundreds of 1.5-meter tall children!

Therefore, these three thousand perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts, though none successfully transformed into growth-type divine artifacts, still all became divine weapons for Lin Xuankong to use against opponents. When used to set up the Luo Water Array, it would undoubtedly multiply the array’s defensive and offensive power several times over!

"This situation... it seems like each ninth-grade immortal artifact’s transformation process is identical, and none have transformed into a growth-type divine artifact?"

Young Lady Li Xiaolan withdrew her gaze, looking somewhat frustrated at Lin Xuankong.

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, saying, "Indeed it is so, but there are still tens of thousands of perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts remaining. There should be at least one or two perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts that will transform into growth-type divine artifacts!"

After speaking, he once again mobilized six thousand strands of primordial qi, guiding six thousand of the tens of thousands of perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts to be arranged on the periphery of the others, allowing these six thousand perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts to absorb enough supreme primordial qi first, thereby undergoing rapid metamorphosis!

As time passed nearly a hundred breaths later,

Lin Xuankong, who had been eagerly expecting the emergence of a growth-type divine artifact, couldn’t help but frown slightly. In his perception, among the six thousand perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts he had just activated, not a single one had transformed into a growth-type divine artifact!

This indeed made him a bit frustrated,

Back when the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva and Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect and twenty-eight of the Strongest Immortal Lords underwent the celestial tribulation and ascended to the Supreme Origin Realm together, their ninth-grade immortal artifacts were all ordinary ones with only a few dozen at hand, yet a growth-type Buddhist divine artifact emerged!

Now, Lin Xuankong had transformed a full nine thousand of the ninth-grade immortal artifacts, all perfect-level ninth-grade ones, yet not a single growth-type divine artifact had appeared. Despite his understanding of the rarity and preciousness of growth-type divine artifacts, it was still somewhat frustrating!

Regarding this issue with transformed immortal artifacts, Lin Xuankong found that his luck was far inferior to Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva’s!

Next, gritting his teeth, Lin Xuankong again mobilized as many as nine thousand perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts, positioning them on the periphery of other perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts to let them absorb enough supreme primordial qi for transformation, which only added to Lin Xuankong’s consternation!

By this point,

three thousand plus six thousand plus nine thousand, totaling eighteen thousand ninth-grade immortal artifacts, all perfect-level ones,

had used nearly half of Lin Xuankong’s tens of thousands of perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts, yet still none had transformed into a growth-type divine artifact!

Even for Lin Xuankong, who had initially estimated an extremely low chance of transformation, this result couldn’t help but stir some irritation in his heart.

Standing beside him, Young Lady Li Xiaolan, Second Lady Zhao Yufei, and others all furrowed their brows.

Seeing Lin Xuankong’s expression, everyone present, even if they could only use their toes to think, would understand that growth-type divine artifacts must be exceptionally valuable and powerful in the Supreme Origin Realm, or else Lin Xuankong, with his temperament, would never show such an expression just because some perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts failed to transform into growth-type artifacts!

However, among those present, whether it was Lin Xuankong’s mentor Yaan Mingyu or his few dao companions, or even Lin Xuankong’s few adopted children, though they were all celestial immortals at the early stage of the initial tier, they were all unfamiliar with matters concerning artifact refining!

Seeing Lin Xuankong in a bad mood, everyone could only be helpless.

The gate of the main hall at the center of the secret realm’s mountain peak remained very quiet for a moment, and even the wind that blew around seemed to have calmed down at this time.

Just then, standing not far from Lin Xuankong, the artifact refining genius Xiao Xiuyi seemed to think of something,

she suddenly raised her furrowed brows, approached Lin Xuankong, and abruptly spoke,

"Brother Lin, I recall you mentioning before that when the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva from the Spirit Platform Buddhism and the other twenty-seven Strongest Immortal Lords ascended to the Supreme Origin Realm together, only the ninth-grade immortal artifact she carried transformed into a growth-type divine artifact. Perhaps the reason that ninth-grade immortal artifact transformed might be related to the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, or it might be connected to the Buddhist technique she cultivated?

After all, these perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts were refined by us using only our Immortal Family immortal yuan and never mixed with any other elements of cultivation techniques, such as demon qi, Buddha yuan, or demonic qi! Perhaps the process of transforming into a growth-type divine artifact requires the integration of some other elements of cultivation techniques!"

Lin Xuankong was struck by her words,

Though not entirely certain about Xiao Xiuyi’s hypothesis, with nearly half of the perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts already having failed to transform, he had little choice but to try the method suggested by Xiao Xiuyi, the artifact refining genius! Moreover, Lin Xuankong held an inexplicable trust for this peerless talent in artifact refining, given that in various trials within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, this Miss Xiao Xiuyi had often assisted Lin Xuankong with her unparalleled artifact refining expertise!

Nodding towards the artifact refining genius Xiao Xiuyi, Lin Xuankong immediately activated the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, which he had cultivated to the ultimate realm,

in an instant, all the supreme immortal yuan within him transformed into supreme Buddha yuan infused with the Buddhist principles. Then, Lin Xuankong looked towards the nearly twenty thousand perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts not far away. With a raised hand, three thousand strands of supreme Buddha yuan infused with Buddhist principles swiftly fell onto the three thousand perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts, entering the interior of these artifacts!

These three thousand perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts, in the blink of an eye, transformed from vibrant with immortal essence to glowing with Buddha’s Light, and soon floated to the outer side of the other perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts, prioritizing the absorption of the surrounding supreme primordial qi!

Witnessing this, everyone focused on those three thousand perfect-level ninth-grade immortal artifacts infused with supreme Buddha yuan with some hope!
