Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Chapter 1311 - 566: Lin Xuankong’s Celestial Tribulation

In the Supreme Origin Realm, within Red Water Demon City,at the center of the Cyan Wood Forest, there stood a gigantic building of eerie and sinister design.

At this moment, in the central hall of the structure, several tall, oddly featured Celestial Demons were seated behind a long table, feasting ravenously.

On the dining table, besides the fresh red Demon Essence Fruits produced in the Cyan Wood Forest and saturated with Demonic Qi, there were also all kinds of bound living creatures’ bodies. These creatures, born in the Supreme Origin Realm and nourished by vast amounts of Upper Realm Primordial Qi, were all rather delicate and spiritual in appearance. Yet the Cyan Wood Forest was suffused with Demonic Qi; after long-term pollution by Upper Realm Demonic Qi, although their bodies were exquisite, their heads had grown extremely peculiar, looking almost identical to the grotesque visages of those Celestial Demons.

However, the Celestial Demons eating at this moment clearly did not regard these strange creatures, suffused with Demonic Qi and Upper Realm Primordial Qi, as their own kind, but instead as delicious food! All of these bizarre creatures were living beings, yet because they were bound, they could not move at all, and could only watch helplessly as the creatures beside them were picked up one by one and shoved into the Celestial Demons’ mouths.

As those Celestial Demons chewed, the sound of bones shattering within the living bodies continually came from their mouths, and copious blood kept flowing from the corners of their lips, causing the entire great hall to be filled with a strong, cloying stench of blood!

Among the several Minor Success Celestial Demons, a Minor Success Celestial Demon with a bizarre face and nine eyes on its forehead swallowed a creature shaped like a peacock, then split open its bloodstained maw and shook its head, saying:

"Qingmu, I heard that for these eight thousand years, you’ve never pulled back the subordinates encircling the entrance to the Red Water Passage. What’s the point!

I figure that in that little Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, the number of Cultivators capable of Ascension to the Upper Realm isn’t that large. Those who ascended in one batch eight thousand years ago should all have been the relatively powerful Strongest Immortal Lord Level Cultivators in that Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. As for the remaining Strongest Immortal Lord Level Cultivators, they probably don’t have many chances to even get through their Celestial Tribulation!

Hoping to once again obtain a large batch of Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts from the hands of those Ascenders from the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm will be incredibly difficult!"

Another Minor Success Celestial Demon with a face covered in white hair also shook his head.

"Ten thousand years ago, the venerable Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch assigned tasks to a few of us, and basically none of them have been completed. The mission rewards are indeed unimaginably generous— even those Great Success Demon Monarchs can’t help but feel tempted— but among the powerful Cultivators of our Supreme Origin Realm, only the supremely noble Saint Monarchs, who stand above Venerables of the Perfect Realm, have even the slightest possibility of piercing a trace of their Power through the Wall of the World and transmitting it into the Little Worlds below!

For fellows like us who only recently stepped into the Minor Success Realm, where would we get a chance to pierce even a trace of Power through the Wall of the World? Even if there were a thousand, ten thousand, a billion of us Minor Success Celestial Demons, it would still be impossible!

This mission, I’m afraid none of us will ever complete it!

Fortunately, over these past ten thousand or so years, the venerable Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch hasn’t brought up this mission again, and has instead shifted his attention and focus to dealing with the Human Race Saint Monarchs near Liguo Treasure Pool. I’ve heard that in these three to four thousand years, quite a few Minor Success Celestial Demons have relied on the battles near Liguo Treasure Pool to obtain rewards from the venerable Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch; their strength has greatly increased, their territories have expanded significantly, and they’ve even received some Little World Origin!

Alas, back then we thought the missions we took on were all sweet pastries, but who would have thought that after over ten thousand years we’d end up empty-handed, not a single task completed!

If you ask me, the venerable Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch probably never really expected small fry like us to complete those missions. It was just to punish those troublemaking Little World Cultivators, to capture every last one of the Cultivators who ascended from those Little Worlds, and throw them all into Red Water Prison as nourishment!"

After the White-haired Celestial Demon and the Nine-Eyed Celestial Demon finished speaking, the other Minor Success Celestial Demons all shook their heads repeatedly and began to sigh.

It was obvious that these Minor Success Celestial Demons who had taken the mission back then had all failed to complete it, leaving them deeply unwilling and envious of those Minor Success Celestial Demons who had taken part in the battle of Liguo Treasure Pool!

Seeing this, the Cyan Wood Celestial Demon’s bird-like face immediately showed a slightly vexed expression as he sighed and said, "Exactly! How could I not think the same? I’ve heard that over these past several thousand years, those Minor Success Celestial Demons participating in the defense of Liguo Treasure Pool, because they received extremely generous rewards and quite a bit of Little World Origin, already have more than a dozen Late Stage of Minor Success Celestial Demons whose strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the Great Success Celestial Demon Realm, thereby obtaining the right to carve out new lands and occupy a large amount of resource-rich territory!

But since we have already accepted the mission from the incomparably venerable Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch, we must continue to carry it out. Never mind ten thousand years; even if it takes a hundred thousand or a million years, we still have to persist until the mission is completed!"

After he finished speaking, the Cyan Wood Celestial Demon put on a helpless expression and raised a huge goblet brimming with blood. "Everyone, stop envying those Minor Success Celestial Demons who joined the defense of Liguo Treasure Pool. After all, although the Minor Success Celestial Demons who take part in such a war that continues for hundreds of thousands of years do indeed have a chance to capture some Human Race Minor Success Celestial Immortals, they also might run into Human Race Great Success Celestial Immortals and end up as eternal prisoners in the Human Race’s Demon Suppression Hall!

By comparison, our mission here may be dull, and the chances of earning rewards are extremely small, but at least it’s a bit safer!"
