Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1386 - 603: Oath Upon the Path (Part 2)

The Celestial Official Yu Xiaoyu, clad in a purple robe, upon hearing this, showed a sudden realization on her charming face and nodded slightly, saying, "For you to think this way, to be so willing, so magnanimous, and to trust the three of the Li Family to this extent, was indeed beyond my expectations..."

She paused, taking a sigh, then said:

"In fact, according to the Candle Dragon Race’s repeated dispatches of a large number of Divine Mountain Warriors and the tribe’s elites, and countless experiences in exploring small worlds, one of the reasons why those Divine Mountain Warriors fail each time during their exploration of small worlds is their inability to trust one another. Some even go to great lengths to thwart the Divine Souls of other Divine Mountain Warriors from obtaining the Little World Origin once they enter the small world with their Divine Souls! After all, in any small world, the Little World Origin that can be manifested and obtained by a Divine Mountain Warrior is extremely rare and immensely precious, something even the terrifyingly powerful at the Venerable Level greatly desire!

In other words, facing the temptation of such a Little World Origin, even Divine Mountain Warriors with master-disciple, brotherly, or father-son relationships may turn against each other within, harming one another, just so they can be the ones to obtain a part of the Little World Origin!

I am not quite sure how long you have known the three from the Li Family, or what your relationship is with them,

but since you’ve made this decision, I will not interfere, and next, I will report this matter to the Grand Celestial Official. The quota for the four of you to explore the small world will soon be determined!"

As she concluded, the Celestial Official Yu Xiaoyu, bathed in purple, showed a profound meaning in her eyes as she looked at Lin Xuankong and said, "I hope your generosity in giving the quota to the three of the Li Family won’t become a decision you’ll regret in the future!"

After she’d spoken, Yu Xiaoyu turned and walked towards the entrance.

Once Yu Xiaoyu’s figure disappeared beyond the hall’s doors,

Li Changming, with his chubby face and small eyes, rushed in front of Lin Xuankong, his voice trembling with excitement, "Brother Lin, you you you... this decision of yours, Changming truly doesn’t know how to thank you!"

Li Changsheng, who stood nearby, remained silent for several breaths before walking with Li Changshou to stand before Lin Xuankong. The two bowed deeply to him with great formality, after which Li Changsheng finally spoke:

"Brother Lin’s noble spirit, having known us for just two days, to regard the three of us from the Li Family so highly, truly leaves Changsheng greatly surprised and deeply moved!

Though my skills are lacking, reaching only Initial Tier Perfection, and I’ve yet to master any notably powerful Immortal Techniques, I, Changsheng, dare swear by my Dao Path that should we find ourselves within that little world, I will indeed lead Changshou and Changming, following your lead, and together search for the Little World’s Origin!

If indeed Changsheng, Changshou, and Changming have the opportunity to find the Little World’s Origin with Brother Lin, the distribution of that origin is assuredly yours to decide, even if you claim ninety-nine percent, leaving just one percent for us three, we would harbor no discontent!

Without Brother Lin’s generosity and righteousness, no matter how resourceful we three are, there’s absolutely no way we could obtain this rare opportunity to explore the small world!"

Seeing the eldest and strongest, Li Changsheng, speak thus, Li Changshou and Li Changming nodded vigorously at Lin Xuankong, both declaring in unison: "We, too, swear by the Dao Path, should we enter that little world and our beings within not perish immediately, we will certainly seek Brother Lin at the first opportunity, to aid him in finding the Little World’s Origin!"

Witnessing the three’s solemn pledges, even swearing by the Dao Path, Lin Xuankong felt a deep stirring in his heart,

knowing that at his level, a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator, progression in cultivation, aside from the Immortal Body, primarily concerns nurturing the heart and cultivating the Divine Soul! If a cultivator above the Initial Tier Celestial Immortal Realm swears by the Dao Path but later violates it, there will undoubtedly be repercussions affecting their Dao Heart and Divine Soul!

Now, the fact that the three of them from the Li Family swear by the Dao Path surely means they are deeply grateful to Lin Xuankong from within, and indeed are trustworthy individuals, otherwise, no matter how slight a deceit any of the three harbored, they certainly wouldn’t swear by the Dao Path!

As his gaze swept across the solemn visages of the three from the Li Family, Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, "Since the three of you are so earnest, Xuankong, as well, must reciprocate in kind, ensuring I won’t let the three of you down! When we arrive to explore the small world, I will promptly find a way to locate the three of you, and together we’ll seek the Little World’s Origin."

Seeing Lin Xuankong say this, Li Changming, with his chubby cheek and small eyes, nodded repeatedly, laughing heartily,

"I said it, didn’t I? The first time I saw Brother Lin, I felt he possessed an uncommon aura and truly is an honorable, meticulous fellow cultivator!

The facts indeed support my conjecture, and even greatly exceeded my expectations, Brother Lin isn’t merely exceptional and meticulous, but he’s undoubtedly a great benefactor in my life, ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing Li Changming speak in such a manner, Li Changsheng and Li Changshou couldn’t help but join in the laughter, though in their hearts, even now, they are quite amazed by how Lin Xuankong, seemingly lacking even a single high-grade Immortal Armor, could casually present ten perfect-level Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts... such astounding generosity, even a cultivator at the Early Stage or Mid Stage of Minor Success can’t necessarily achieve this!

After some casual conversation between the three from the Li Family and Lin Xuankong, they each refocused their energy to continue comprehending the Array Patterns of the Divine Dragon Ten Thousand Changes Array!

Securing a place to explore the small world from Lin Xuankong thrilled them immensely, yet they all knew that even if they were to explore the small world with Lin Xuankong and obtain some of the Little World Origin, they would still need to offer at least fifty percent to the Celestial Official of the Candle Dragon Race!

Moreover, even if in the future they successfully completed the mission, they would still have to remain in the Seven Cities Construction Hall for many more years, working for the Candle Dragon Race! Most crucially, they couldn’t be certain whether they’d encounter another opportunity to explore a small world during the next tens of thousands of years, and if such a grand opportunity arose, they would certainly prefer to win the quota with their own strength, rather than relying on Lin Xuankong every time!

With such thoughts in mind, it was natural for the three of them not to abandon further comprehension of the Divine Dragon Ten Thousand Changes Grand Array Pattern, and Lin Xuankong, too, continued his comprehension of the same, albeit with different intentions. Having already mastered one of the transformations of the Divine Dragon Ten Thousand Changes Grand Array, he naturally aimed to further comprehend the intricate Array Pattern to gain more variations, thereby enhancing his and his master’s Yaan Mingyu’s Luo Water Array to new levels!

...

In the blink of an eye,

more than sixty days had passed.

During this period, apart from cultivation and refining perfect-level Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, Lin Xuankong dedicated most of his time and energy to comprehending the Array Pattern of the Divine Dragon Ten Thousand Changes Grand Array!

In just over sixty days, Lin Xuankong had grasped over a hundred and eighty transformations of this particular Array Pattern from the Divine Dragon Ten Thousand Changes Grand Array! Though beginnings are always the hardest, Lin Xuankong found it initially difficult to swiftly master the transformations of such an unfamiliar, magnificent Array Pattern, but once he had mastered part of its transformations, through his Array Formation Talent and the Wisdom vested in the Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate, his speed in mastering the various transformations of the Array Pattern naturally became swifter and swifter!

The key is that these hundred and eighty transformations took Lin Xuankong just over sixty days... such astounding comprehension speed would unquestionably awe the three from the Li Family, shock the other Divine Mountain Warriors of the second and third groups, or even leave the Celestial Official Yu Xiaoyu utterly astounded if she knew!
