Chapter 1173: Chapter 497: Gathering of the Strong (Part 2)

He didn’t know, after a month of frenzied Cultivation, to what extent he would be able to push the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique by then.

To cultivate it to the Perfection Realm of Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique should be impossible, but bringing it to Minor Success, or even the Great Success Realm, shouldn’t be a problem, right!

A hint of anticipation surfaced in Lin Xuankong’s eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuankong looked seriously at Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er and said:

"Next, before the Profound Yin Demon Sect army arrives at the Wine Immortal Sect, I’m planning to go into seclusion for a while. The safety of my cave mansion will be in your hands, Yu’er. Also, unless something truly important comes up, don’t disturb me in the future!"

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er decisively nodded at his words,

"Don’t worry. As long as I, Guang Yu’er, am guarding near your cave mansion, I doubt there’s anyone in this Wine Immortal Sect who can get past me to disturb your Cultivation!

Besides, you’re now the Immortal Lin admired by all. Let alone me standing guard outside your cave mansion, even if there weren’t a Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouse like me protecting you, there still wouldn’t be many who’d dare casually disturb you! Even that Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race has to give you a whole lot of face and definitely wouldn’t bother you unless something major happens!"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, gently ruffling the soft, silky hair on Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er’s small head, then turned and walked toward the depths of the cave mansion.

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er shook her head in exasperation, "Hey, I’m your Dao-companion, not your little pet. Don’t just casually pat my head. It’s fine inside your cave mansion, but if we’re outside and those juniors from all the Immortal Sects and clans see you casually patting my head over and over, won’t they secretly laugh? I care about my face too, okay!"

"Then when there are lots of people around, I’ll just change to a different place to pat! Hahahahaha!" Lin Xuankong’s laughter echoed from deep within the cave mansion.

"This guy!" Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er couldn’t help getting angry.

....

In Cultivation, time flies unnoticed.

In the blink of an eye, twenty-five or twenty-six days had already passed.

On this day,

on the vast platform outside Lin Xuankong’s cave mansion on the First Spirit Peak of the Wine Immortal Sect, Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er was seated cross-legged, quietly cultivating various Immortal Techniques of the Guangqing Immortal Sect, when she suddenly sensed something and looked toward the outer light membrane of the Hundredfold Luo Water Array, only to see streak after streak of flowing light shooting toward the Wine Immortal Sect from the distant east.

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er’s expression tightened, then she carefully sensed them, and only then did the look on her delicate face relax.

Although those streaks of light were surging violently and their escape speed was astonishingly fast, the aura they emitted was upright and open, completely different from the aura released when those demon heads, Demon Lords, and Demon Generals of the Profound Yin Demon Sect activated their Escape Techniques!

At this moment, outside the First Spirit Peak, a figure swiftly approached and landed beside Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er. It was none other than that Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race,

"Immortal Lord Guang, this old man truly feels quite emotional! With those Third Grade and above Immortal Artifacts that Immortal Lin gifted to the Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses of the Immortal Realm Human Race, the Immortal Realm Human Race, the many Demon Race powerhouses of my Boundaryless Mountain, and those Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism notified us only yesterday that they were coming here to assemble, and now they’ve already arrived! If it were tens of thousands of years ago, or even just a few years ago, who could have imagined that the Immortal Realm Human Race, the Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and those Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism would have such mobility!"

Hearing this praise of Lin Xuankong’s Immortal Artifacts from the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader, Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er naturally felt sweet inside. Although over this period, countless Cultivators in the Wine Immortal Sect were deeply impressed and filled with admiration for Lin Xuankong, and she had heard more than enough pleasant words to feel a little numb, it’s not like there’s such a thing as getting tired of hearing good things!

Of course, modesty and low-key demeanor were still necessary, so Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er shook her head with a solemn expression and said, "Since my Xuankong has some Artifact Refining skill, at a time like this Immortal Demon War, of course he has to spare no effort to help the Immortal Realm Human Race. It’s only what he should do!"

Tsk tsk, my Xuankong... The Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader was left speechless.

Dignified as she was, a Strongest Immortal Lord, and one who had stepped into the Strongest Immortal Lord Realm in just over ten thousand years—her advancement was not inferior even to that of Immortal Lord Feiyun—this Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er actually completely disregarded her status and so proactively, time and again, declared that Xuankong was "hers"... Among Fourth Grade Realm Earth Immortals throughout history, the only one able to make her do this is probably Immortal Lin!

However, when he thought of the two most outstanding little geniuses of his own Qilin Race, the Cyan-forehead Qilin and the White-forehead Qilin, who also called Lin Xuankong "my Young Master" every time they mentioned him, this Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader could only feel a bit helpless at heart!

While these two Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses were speaking,

the large mass of flowing lights, which had been flickering thousands of li away, had already flown to the skies above the Wine Immortal Sect.

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er and the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader raised their eyes and saw that the newcomers were precisely the many powerhouses who had originally been stationed at the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.

The number one of the Immortal Realm Human Race, Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, was flying at the very front of the group. On his left was Lin Xuankong’s master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, Yaan Mingyu; on his right was Immortal Lord Feiyun, famed as the number one genius in Attack Techniques. Behind these three Human Race Strongest Immortal Lords were twenty more Strongest Immortal Lords from various Immortal Sects—Immortal Lord Qiaan Yuan, Immortal Lord Kunyuan, and others were among them.

These Strongest Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm Human Race were each radiating extremely powerful Immortal Yuan fluctuations. Those Immortal Yuan fluctuations constantly manifested all sorts of visions: there were wondrous ripples like heavenly flowers in bloom, grand illusions of the sun rising and the moon setting, strange scenes of thousands of Flying Swords darting about, and countless Exotic Beasts continually appearing and vanishing!

These visions were so vast that they almost completely filled the skies for hundreds and even thousands of li above the Wine Immortal Sect. It was truly a magnificent sight of Immortals descending from the heavens!

In short, as these Strongest Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm Human Race floated in midair, the fluctuations they released were in no way inferior to those emitted previously outside the Wine Immortal Sect by First Demon Lord Fan Yu, Celestial Eye Demon Lord, Ten Thousand Forms Demon Lord, Soul Shifting Demon Lord, and the other Demon Lords when they had gathered to unleash their Attack Techniques on the Wine Immortal Sect. Their presence was brimming with powerful pressure and even carried a unique, lively spiritual aura of the Immortal Realm.

On the other side were the Cyan Dragon Race Elder Clan Leader, the Black Tortoise Race Elder Clan Leader, the Fire Phoenix Race Elder Clan Leader from Boundaryless Mountain, as well as Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses from other Demon Races. The visions emanating from these Demon Race Strongest Immortal Lords were different from those emitted by the Strongest Immortal Lords of the Immortal Realm Human Race; the fluctuations released by these Boundaryless Mountain Strongest Immortal Lord-level Demon Kings mostly took the form of multicolored clouds and mists!

Those clouds and mists, constantly rising and drifting, veiled the enormous bodies of those Strongest Immortal Lord-level Demon Kings. Their huge, imposing forms, originally fierce and full of intimidation, were now suffused with a sense of mystery.

The number of these Boundaryless Mountain Strongest Immortal Lord-level Demon Kings was slightly less than that of the Immortal Realm Human Race Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses, yet their momentum was in no way weaker! After all, putting aside everything else, just those towering, incomparably mighty bodies of the Demon Kings, like Ancient Divine Beasts descending into the world, were naturally brimming with awe-inspiring might!

The Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism, on the other hand, radiated Immortal Yuan fluctuations that were simple and pure.

Led by Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, the many Spirit Platform Buddhism Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas floated in midair. Although they did not deliberately activate any powerful Buddhist Technique, their entire bodies still continuously emitted vast Golden Body Buddha’s Light. Within that Buddha’s Light, various Buddhist Secret Patterns and visions kept appearing. They did not look overwhelmingly fierce, but were instead filled with a solemn, sacred aura, giving rise to an involuntary sense of yearning in all who beheld them.

These Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses from various Immortal Sects, clans, and Spirit Platform Buddhism, although they had not undergone Metamorphosis through the Celestial Demon Power like the Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, were in no way inferior in terms of individual strength. Moreover, each and every one of them was filled with vast righteous qi and upright, open intent!

Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er and the Qilin Race Elder Clan Leader exchanged a glance, then simultaneously activated their Immortal Yuan and flew toward the outside of the Luo Water Array.
