Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Chapter 1310 - 565: Reversing Life and Death, the Final Celestial Tribulation (Part 2)

The vanished Old Willow Tree was naturally transferred by Lin Xuankong using an Immortal Technique to his Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm.However, to effortlessly transfer a creature, especially such a massive Old Willow Tree, into one’s Secret Realm, is something a typical Earth Immortal finds difficult. Usually, they need to first open the portal of the Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm to let the other party enter on their own. But a technique that is difficult for other Earth Immortals is extremely easy for Lin Xuankong, who has been cultivating in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm for over ten thousand years! Over the years, Lin Xuankong has not only perfected the top Immortal Techniques of various Immortal Sects, but also mastered those difficult and esoteric techniques to perfection!

In the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, the only one who has been able to master all the techniques of numerous Immortal Sects, Buddhist Sects, and even Demon Sects to perfection in thousands of years, is Lin Xuankong!

Those surrounding officials and cultivators prostrated on the ground, upon witnessing such a wondrous Immortal Technique, could not help but again drop to the ground in awe, calling out ’Immortal Venerable!’ with reverence.

Yet Lin Xuankong’s eyes revealed a hint of anticipation. The talent and comprehension of the Old Willow Tree far exceeded his expectations. It had managed to cultivate on its own, forcefully breaking through to the Eleventh Layer of Transcendence, matching the record he set in the past. Now, it might even break through to the Twelfth Layer of Transcendence, achieving something even he had not accomplished!

Who knows what formidable growth speed could be achieved if the Old Willow Tree genuinely reached the Twelfth Layer of Transcendence and ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm, coupled with the talent bonuses from his Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate of wives, children, elders, and youngsters!

This time, on his visit to the Great Marsh Prefecture of the Great Xia Dynasty to connect with old acquaintances, he unbelievably gained a great advantage, receiving a disciple with such astonishing talent, an unexpected joy indeed!

Lin Xuankong mused for a moment, then turned to look at City Lord Jiang of the Great Marsh Prefecture and Ma Hongtao. With matters settled in the Great Marsh Prefecture, it was time to ’meet’ old acquaintances from more than ten thousand years ago!

...

Over half an hour later,

on the shady side of a hill where the ancestral grave of the Ma Family was located, under the shadow of a towering pine tree,

Lin Xuankong looked smilingly at the two souls before him, listening to them recount past events. One was naturally Ma Jiang, a steward of the Yin Talisman Sect more than ten thousand years ago, and the other was Jiang Yuran, the chief steward of the Yin Talisman Sect at that time.

Ma Jiang lacked the talent of Jiang Yuran. Although after the merger of the Yin Talisman Sect and the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, people like Ma Jiang from the Yin Talisman Sect received much richer resources than before, Ma Jiang, limited by talent and innate qualities, could not break through from the Eighth-Layer of Transcendence to the Ninth Layer and eventually died of old age after living over three hundred years in East Ming Prefecture.

Jiang Yuran’s talent, however, was excellent; she had smoothly broken through to the Ninth Layer of Transcendence. Nevertheless, though her talent was good, compared to the numerous geniuses of the first sect of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Profound Talisman Celestial Sect, she ultimately could not stand out, failing to become the fortunate one of her generation to be drawn into the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Later, as the national strength of the Great Xia Dynasty increased greatly, the Profound Talisman Celestial Sect recruited disciples widely, and geniuses emerged continuously. During the second and third recruitments, as Jiang Yuran grew older, she became less and less competitive...

"Fortunately, the several grandchildren of my brother all have excellent talent; they all broke through to the Ninth Layer early and later joined the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. One of them, named Jiang Xingzhou, even became a strong Earth Immortal realm cultivator in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!"

As Jiang Yuran’s soul recounted the past and reached this point, she looked at the Lin Xuankong before her and laughed freely:

"Xingzhou later returned to the Great Xia once and specifically mentioned Immortal Venerable Lin to me, saying that Immortal Venerable Lin held an extraordinary position in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Not to mention the Sect Leader of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, even the Strongest Immortal Lord-level experts of the first Immortal Sect in the Immortal Realm must respectfully call you Immortal Lin when they meet you! Steward Ma and I were both delighted and extremely proud when we heard how formidable you are, after all, Immortal Venerable Lin is a cultivator who came from our Yin Talisman Sect and Profound Talisman Celestial Sect!"

Ma Jiang couldn’t help but laugh too, a touch of pride spreading across his seemingly real and phantom-like face, "The first time I met Immortal Venerable Lin, I said that his future achievements were boundless; at that time, some of our old fellows in the Yin Talisman Sect thought I was boasting. But look what happened? Not to mention the Yin Talisman Sect, countless cultivators across the entire Great Xia Dynasty have benefited from the protection and grace of Immortal Venerable Lin!"

Even the two of us, old fellows, have been dead for over ten thousand years, and yet Immortal Venerable Lin could pull us out from the chaos for a chat, hahahahaha!"

Seeing his old superiors Ma Jiang and Jiang Yuran say such things, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but laugh too, shaking his head slightly, "I didn’t trouble your peaceful slumber just to chat. Waking you both is to let you take up the cultivation path once again. But this time, we must find each of you a body with top-notch innate qualities!"

Upon hearing this, both Ma Jiang and Jiang Yuran were overjoyed,

Lin Xuankong waved his hand and, just like the Old Willow Tree, included Ma Jiang and Jiang Yuran into the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm.

The Young Lady Lii Xiaolan, standing beside Lin Xuankong, raised her brows and said, "Having met all the right old acquaintances in the Great Xia and helped those who need it, shouldn’t you now accompany me on a tour around the Great Marsh Prefecture? After more than ten thousand years of secluded cultivation, I’ve eaten all sorts of Spirit Fruits and Elixirs for more than ten thousand years and am practically sick of them! I’ve long wanted to taste those flavorful snacks of our Great Marsh Prefecture! Come on, come on, let’s head to the Great Marsh Prefecture now!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but show a face of helplessness,

Second Lady Zhao Yufei, Third Lady Xiao Ying’er, Fourth Lady Guang Yu’er and others all laughed aloud.

The Artifact Refining Genius Miss Xiao, however, looked at the soul of her father whom Lin Xuankong had awakened, tears welling in her eyes! Lin Xuankong’s Great Reincarnation Technique, cultivated to its current level, could easily gather souls dissipated into the world, even those from over ten thousand years ago, though it consumes a huge amount of Immortal Yuan!

But for Lin Xuankong, given the tremendous assistance the Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi provided over these ten thousand years, the impact was beyond significant, often reversing his fate multiple times! The consumption of immense Immortal Yuan was nothing; to resurrect the father of Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi, even if consuming the entire Immortal Yuan Lin Xuankong accumulated over more than ten thousand years, he wouldn’t bat an eye.

"Then let’s return to the Great Marsh Prefecture together and eat all the delights of the Great Marsh Prefecture to see whether your little tummy can hold it all!"

Retrieving the gaze from the Artifact Refining Genius Xiao Xiuyi, Lin Xuankong looked at the smiling Young Lady Lii Xiaolan before him,

"Moreover, all of you should eat to your fill, otherwise, when the final Celestial Tribulation is triggered and you ascend to the Supreme Origin Realm, it will be hard to taste the Great Marsh Prefecture’s treats with the worldly flavor again!"

Second Lady Zhao Yufei, Third Lady Xiao Ying’er, Fourth Lady Guang Yu’er, and others nodded in agreement,

Little Hu stood in front of his father’s soul, just awoken by Lin Xuankong, nodding vigorously along with everyone. Little Hu was deeply moved by Lin Xuankong’s act of awakening his father from slumber, fully aware of the difficulty and the enormous amount of Immortal Yuan consumed in gathering the souls of beings who dissipated into the world over ten thousand years ago!

Little Hu knew that Lin Xuankong’s grace was greater than just resurrecting his father. For a poor young boy selling fruits on the street, if it hadn’t been for meeting Lin Xuankong, he would have likely been dead for over ten thousand years by now, with not even bones left, turned to soil!

Besides, Little Hu knew well that those whom Lin Xuankong changed the fate of were not just those present; the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, if not for Lin Xuankong’s appearance, might well have become overrun by demonic qi, everywhere an Asura Hell, where neither exalted Earth Immortals and Strongest Immortal Lords nor mere mortals could escape the fate of being refined into vengeful spirits within a Demon Artifact!

Thinking of this, Little Hu looked up at the sky, a hint of expectation in his eyes,

Having single-handedly turned the tide, changing the fate of countless beings across the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, would his adoptive father Lin Xuankong once again stir the winds and clouds upon ascending to the Supreme Origin Realm after passing the final Celestial Tribulation? In that Supreme Origin Realm, with Celestial Immortals, Buddhas, Demons, and Celestial Demons rumored to possess endless lifespans, just how formidable would those top-tier Celestial Immortals, Buddhas, Celestial Demons, and Fiends be, and what is the Supreme Origin Realm truly like?
