Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Chapter 1298 - 559: Ten Thousand Years of Vicissitudes (Part 2)

Before long, the elder clan leader of the Black Tortoise Race, the elder clan leader of the Cyan Dragon Race, and more than a dozen other Demon Kings, along with some Great Success Bodhisattvas at the Perfection Realm, all expressed their willingness to face the final celestial tribulation with Lin Xuankong.In the sect hall, only those cultivators who had recently entered the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm or had not yet cultivated to the Strongest Immortal Lord Perfection Realm remained silent.

After all, these Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses who hadn’t spoken were far from the end of their lifespan, and facing the final celestial tribulation with Lin Xuankong might put them against hundreds of Celestial Demon powerhouses!

They are hundreds of Celestial Demon powerhouses, a force terrifying enough to almost wipe out the twenty-eight Strongest Immortal Lords, including Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, who was once the First of the Immortal World. How could any cultivator from the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm not be cautious, fearful, and anxious!

By now, nearly half of the Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, a total of twenty-four, had decided to join Lin Xuankong, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, and Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er in facing the final celestial tribulation!

After this discussion was concluded,

the elder clan leader of the Qilin Race looked questioningly at Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu and asked:

"Since Immortal Lin has just emerged from seclusion, why doesn’t he come to the sect hall here? Why not directly choose a date to cross the tribulation?"

Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s gaze shifted slightly, then he smiled and said, "Since Xuankong is ready to face the final celestial tribulation and decided to leave the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, he will surely succeed in ascending. When he leaves the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, who knows when he will next be able to interact with the people, events, and things here? It’s natural for him to go and resolve some regrets left on the path of cultivation, or to reminisce about the vicissitudes of life over the millennia!"

Upon hearing this, the elder clan leader of the Qilin Race paused, then nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, if he truly succeeds in crossing the tribulation this time, then it’s uncertain when, or if, we can ever learn about the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm from the Supreme Origin Realm, be it ten thousand, a million, or even tens of millions of years in the future!"

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er stood aside, looking pensively beyond the hall,

she mused silently, "This time, Xuankong brought along First Lady Li Xiaolan, Second Sister Zhao Yufei, Third Sister Xiaoo Ying’Er, and others back to the Great Xia Kingdom in the mortal world, saying it was to pay respects to old acquaintances. I wonder who those acquaintances could be?"

....

Great Xia Kingdom · Great Marsh Prefecture · Prefecture City.

Lin Xuankong strolled leisurely along the wide main street of Great Marsh Prefecture City, followed by Young Lady Li Xiaolan, Second Lady Zhao Yufei, Third Lady Xiaoo Ying’Er, his foster son Little Hu, and others.

It was autumn, close to noon, and although the autumn wind was chilly, it hadn’t yet turned cold. The streets were bustling with people, and occasionally, some large demons could be seen mingling among the crowd.

Unlike ten thousand years ago when Lin Xuankong first crossed into Great Marsh Prefecture,

back then, Great Marsh Prefecture was plagued by demons, and everyone feared them. Facing demons made people wish their parents had given them more legs to run faster. Of course, the demons that once seemed terrifying to Lin Xuankong were merely low-tier minor demons on the outskirts of the Boundaryless Mountain Range, hardly considered notable cultivators!

At present, on the streets of Great Marsh Prefecture, humans and low-tier minor demons of the Demon Race went about their own business. There were no incidents of demons suddenly devouring people, nor were there scenes of human martial artists fleeing or killing demons!

This situation arose naturally because Lin Xuankong, recognized as the First of the Immortal World, had been the true ruler of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm for nearly ten thousand years. Both demon and human cultivators were decreed not to hunt or devour one another. Since then, demon and human cultivators, whether Earth Immortals or Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses, have coexisted peacefully, so how could minor demons and mortal martial artists dare to cause trouble!

"The street... I can barely recognize any trace from back then! Without using my mental powers to probe, I could wander for ten thousand years in Great Marsh Prefecture and still not find any descendants of the Zhao family!" Zhao Yufei murmured with some emotion, frowning as she looked at the unfamiliar crowd and demons, as well as the unfamiliar streets.

Before returning to Great Marsh Prefecture, Zhao Yufei, Lin Xuankong’s Second Lady, had mentally prepared herself. Yet, with a hint of hope, she returned to Great Marsh City, only to find that it had changed beyond recognition, without a trace of familiarity, leaving her a bit melancholy!

Young Lady Li Xiaolan, seeing this, went over to hold Zhao Yufei’s hand and reassured her, "Don’t worry, with our husband here, finding your brother’s descendants isn’t difficult! As for Great Marsh City looking completely different...well, we’ve been away from Great Xia’s Great Marsh Prefecture for over ten thousand years. Such changes are just the way of the world. The fact that Great Marsh Prefecture has endured until now is quite remarkable!"

Zhao Yufei nodded slightly, understanding that over ten thousand years, most things in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm could change. But thinking of her family and parents from ten thousand years ago, now long gone, with no trace to be found, she couldn’t help but feel a bit sad!

Nearby, dressed in black, the artifact refining genius Miss Xiao, raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Xuankong’s Third Lady, Xiaoo Ying’Er, with some indifference, saying, "I didn’t expect, after over ten thousand years, your Xiaoo Family Dynasty would still be around, still ruling this land. Tsk tsk, the Xiaoo Family Dynasty is indeed flourishing!"

The former Third Princess of the Xia Kingdom, and sect Saintess, now Lin Xuankong’s Third Lady Xiaoo Ying’Er, couldn’t help but show a helpless expression upon hearing Miss Xiao’s words. She approached, took Miss Xiao’s hand, and pleaded:

"Alright, Sister Xiao, please don’t keep teasing Ying’Er. Before I left Great Xia, I had my father dismiss and behead all the officials who had harmed your esteemed father! If Sister Xiao still doesn’t feel satisfied, you can take it out on Ying’Er...but I’m sure Sister Xiao wouldn’t bear to hit Ying’Er, right! Hehe!"

Miss Xiao, unable to maintain her stern expression due to Xiaoo Ying’Er’s coquettishness, smiled and pinched Xiaoo Ying’Er’s peerlessly beautiful cheek, "Alright, alright, I won’t tease you. I suppose those who once harmed my father are long gone, not even their bones could be found! Besides, Ying’Er, your parents, and mentors, I presume, have all passed on. How could I possibly hold a grudge against your long-departed family!"

Upon being reminded of her parents by Xiao Xiuyi, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s expression paused, looking towards the pedestrians nearby,

she waved her hand slightly, and a martial artist at the Transcendence Third Layer, who was in a hurry, was enveloped by her Immortal Yuan and brought to her not far away.

Even though Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er performed such an immortal technique, directly taking a pedestrian, it didn’t cause any attention from the other pedestrians around. The continuously moving pedestrians and demons seemed unaware of this sudden change, as if the ’world’ where Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er, Lin Xuankong, Li Xiaolan and others were, was a parallel world imperceptible to others!

This was quite normal, after all, Third Lady Xiaoo Ying’Er was already at the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm. Performing an illusion technique of such a realm would go unnoticed even by a Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal, let alone the mortals walking on the streets of Great Marsh Prefecture!

The martial artist at the Transcendence Third Layer, who was brought over, was immediately shocked to see Lin Xuankong, Xiaoo Ying’Er, Li Xiaolan, Zhao Yufei, and Xiao Xiuyi! This bearded martial cultivator, with surprise all across his face, drew the steel saber from his waist and asked bravely despite his fear:

"Who are you? What technique did you just use? It’s so sinister!"

"But I warn you, this is the Great Marsh Prefecture of the Great Xia Kingdom. Even an Eighth-Layer Realm Demon King must behave here, or else, even if you harm me, you won’t escape the pursuit of Ninth-Layer powerhouses of the Great Xia Kingdom!"
