Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1545 - 683: Giving Away One’s Head

At this moment, the entire mountaintop platform was utterly silent.

Even the wind that had been sweeping ceaselessly over the summit quieted down.

The Cultivators standing around the high altar all stared, one by one, at Lin Xuankong, whose hand was stroking the Little Jian, as if they were gazing at the most inconceivable monster in the world!

Just an instant ago,

when Jin Ming, expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court, activated the Golden Light Small Sword,

the speed had simply been too fast, so much so that these Cultivators, who were merely at the Third Layer and Fourth Layer of Transcendence, were practically unable to fix their gazes and clearly discern the precise position of the Little Jian!

Thus, when the streaming radiance dragged by that Golden Light Small Sword halted, the many Cultivators only saw that the Golden Light Small Sword had already landed in Lin Xuankong’s hand; they simply could not see how that Golden Light Small Sword had fallen into Lin Xuankong’s hand, nor how it had come under Lin Xuankong’s control!

Yet all the Cultivators present were absolutely certain that just now, that expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court, Jin Ming, had truly birthed a fierce killing intent toward Lin Xuankong; he had indeed activated the Golden Light Small Sword to sever Lin Xuankong’s head, and it was absolutely impossible that he had activated the Golden Light Small Sword so that it would obediently fall into Lin Xuankong’s hand...

The question was, how had Jin Ming’s lethal strike turned into the scene before their eyes?

How had this Lin Xuankong done it?

Hadn’t Jin Ming claimed that this Golden Light Small Sword ranked somewhere above the three hundredth among the hundreds of Treasures of the Six Paths Celestial Court?

Wasn’t this Golden Light Small Sword said to be able to easily injure a Tier Eight Immortal Venerable?

What in the world was going on?

Every Cultivator around the high altar had eyes full of shock, their hearts laden with endless doubts!

Aside from Li Changming, who understood Lin Xuankong’s strength extremely well, even Ding Ye—who had always held Lin Xuankong in utmost reverence—and Blood Cloud Sect Leader Liang Di were dumbstruck at this moment, utterly unaware of what had happened and completely unable to understand why such a scene had unfolded!

Not to mention these Cultivators and people like Ding Ye and Blood Cloud Sect Leader Liang Di,

even Jin Ming, the expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court who had activated the Golden Light Small Sword, was wearing a thoroughly bewildered expression right now.

This expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court, Jin Ming, was greatly favored by his own Grandmaster thanks to his exceptional Talent, to the point that his own master Jin You had never received the Golden Light Sword bestowed by that Grandmaster, while he instead was granted this "incomparably precious" reward! Ever since obtaining this Golden Light Sword, this expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court, Jin Ming, had relied on it to slay dozens of Cultivators from other Life Planets at the Fifth Layer, Sixth Layer, and even Seventh Layer of Transcendence!

As a result, every time this expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court, Jin Ming, activated the Golden Light Sword, his confidence was boundless. He had even, when sparring with his own master Jin You—who was at the Mid-Stage of Eighth Layer of Transcendence—occasionally relied on this Golden Light Sword to snatch victory!

But this time,

the very instant he had activated the Golden Light Sword,

the very instant he drove the Golden Light Sword to shoot out, this expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court, Jin Ming, suddenly felt that the Golden Light Sword he had long since bound by blood as its master had, in a flash, severed contact with him, as if his own arm had been abruptly chopped off and was now completely beyond his control!

In that moment,

this expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court, Jin Ming, who had always liked to present a calm front and who had always brimmed with self-confidence, stared at Lin Xuankong with a face full of astonishment, as though looking at some terrifying monster, and his voice came out a little hoarse as he asked, "Y-you, you, you, you... how did you do that? The Immortal Ultimate Treasure refined personally by my Grandmaster is absolutely impossible for anyone to seize. Even my own master, Jin You, cannot wrest control of the Golden Light Sword from my hands!"

Lin Xuankong casually toyed with the Golden Light Small Sword, lightly shaking his head as he said:

"Bound by blood? That kind of binding method can only truly work on genuine Immortal Treasures, that is, true Immortal Artifacts; only they can be completely controlled through a blood-binding method! For a Middle-Tier Magical Artifact like this, the internal Array and Runes simply cannot, by relying on blood-binding alone, form a control Array exclusive to a single person—so what talk is there of binding to a master? For such Middle-Tier Magical Artifacts, one need only activate a strand of True Qi to completely disperse all the True Qi you infused into it, and one can seize control.

Besides, using such an extremely rare Star Core Materials in this manner of Refining is sheer waste. The key point is that much of the Star Power has already been damaged; trying to remedy that now is already too late. At best, one can restore a portion of the Star Power, allowing it to become a Magical Artifact infinitely close to High Tier! It’s been a long time since I last did Artifact Refining; today I’ll see just how much can be salvaged."

Having said this, Lin Xuankong no longer paid any attention to the astonished expression of Jin Ming, the expert of the Six Paths Celestial Court. Instead, as if no one else were present, he began to drive his True Qi, improving the Golden Light Small Sword in his hand.

As Lin Xuankong’s True Qi poured in bit by bit, changing the internal structure and Runes of this Golden Light Small Sword little by little, the Golden Light Small Sword instantly began to radiate continuous streams of golden light, and even emitted series of light, crisp tremors, as though this Little Jian possessed consciousness, and was at this moment quite delighted!

Seeing this, Jin Ming—whose face had already been full of astonishment—now showed an expression of outright disbelief.

He had once watched his Grandmaster Refining Magical Artifacts and was quite familiar with the process of Artifact Refining, so he could tell that the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable before him really did look like he was in the middle of Artifact Refining...

This guy,

whether or not he actually knows Artifact Refining,

whether or not what he said is true,

after seizing my Golden Light Sword, this Treasure of mine, he actually dares to blatantly refine it right here. Does he really think my Six Paths Celestial Court is so easy to bully?
