Chapter 1175: Chapter 498: Immortal Demon Final Battle (Part 2)

"Immortal Lord Qiu is reputed to be an expert strategist, yet the words he spoke today are somewhat inappropriate!

My true disciple Lin Xuankong has truly been studying the Path of Array Formation by my side for only a few days altogether, yet his talent in array formation is unprecedented, which allowed his progress in the art to be so swift! If it weren’t for this, if it weren’t for Xuankong’s astounding talent, no matter how diligently I taught, it would have had little effect!"

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

"Hahaha, Immortal Lord Luoshui, what you say is indeed true! No matter which immortal sect or clan, if a prodigy like Immortal Lin were to appear, it would be the true strength behind the rise of that sect or clan!

But... speaking of which, where is Immortal Lin, whom even old Qiu holds in some esteem, now?"

Upon hearing Sect Leader Qiu inquire about Lin Xuankong’s whereabouts,

the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er gently shook her head and said,

"A month ago, our Young Master decided to enter closed-door retreat, and hasn’t come out since.

However, since all of you elders have already arrived at the Wine Immortal Sect, why don’t I enter the cave mansion now to summon Xuankong for a meeting with you esteemed seniors!"

"In retreat for cultivation?"

Sect Leader Qiu’s expression paused slightly, then shook his head, saying, "If that’s the case, let’s not disturb Immortal Lin! However..."

The Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, with such keen perception, immediately sensed Sect Leader Qiu’s doubt and directly cupped her hands, "Immortal Lord Qiu, if there’s anything, just instruct Yu’er!"

Sect Leader Qiu nodded slightly, pondered briefly, and opened his mouth to inquire.

"Actually, it’s about the matter of the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact!

Immortal Lord Guang should be well aware that countless seniors in the Immortal Realm gather heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine various incredibly powerful treasures and high-grade immortal artifacts, to more smoothly pass through terrifying celestial tribulations! However, since the Middle Ages, the rare powerful materials in the Immortal Realm have become extremely scarce, and as a result, not a single Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact has appeared in the Immortal Realm for millions of years!

Yet recently, Immortal Lin at the Wine Immortal Sect gifted such an artifact to Great Success Yu Ming, helping her successfully pass the Five Elements Extermination Tribulation, a feat no cultivator has accomplished for millions of years!

It can be said that the emergence of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact can potentially turn the tide of this Immortal Demon War!

As far as I know, during Jade Bright Celestial Buddha’s tribulation, the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact was used, and because of that, it was influenced by the aura of the Upper Realm, becoming close to a Celestial Artifact, instantly killing millions of demon lords, generals, and kings from the Profound Yin Demon Sect!

Therefore, old Qiu is extremely curious whether Immortal Lin acquired the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact from some ancient immortal family great sage’s relic or refined it himself!"

Sect Leader Qiu’s words immediately attracted the attention of every demon lord and cultivator present,

After all, everyone was very aware that if the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact gifted to Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva was obtained from an ancient great immortal’s relic, it was somewhat regrettable because if Immortal Lin had personally refined it...

The ability to refine an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact implies that Lin Xuankong’s path of artifact refining is advancing leaps and bounds, possibly allowing him to refine more Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts!

If true, it means the victory in the final Immortal Demon War is practically assured for the Human Realm, Unbounded Mountain Demon Race, and Spirit Platform Buddhism!

Moreover, every cultivator in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm lifelong pursuit is to become a Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouse and to survive the terrifying tribulations many fear!

Holding an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact almost equates to a Strongest Immortal Lord-level power increasing several to a dozen times, and thus, when crossing the final celestial tribulation, an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact in hand could alleviate several-fold of the tribulation crosser’s pressure!

Therefore, at this moment, Sect Leader Qiu, Immortal Lord Luoshui, Immortal Lord Feiyun, Elder Clan Leader of the Cyan Dragon Race, Elder Clan Leader of the Black Tortoise Race, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, and others looked fervently at the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, anticipating her reply.

At this moment, Guang Yu’er was speechless,

Her relationship with Lin Xuankong was of course intimate, Lin Xuankong entrusted her with the critical task of protection during his retreat, a matter any cultivator would only assign to the person they trust the most!

However... what frustrated Guang Yu’er was that until now, Lin Xuankong hadn’t told her whether the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact previously gifted to Great Success Yu Ming was obtained through extraordinary opportunity or personally refined. Every time Guang Yu’er asked, Lin Xuankong merely smiled without speaking, leaving her silent and frustrated...

With a sigh, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er shook her head slightly, "To be honest, Immortal Lord Qiu, even now, Yu’er is unaware whether the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact gifted to Great Success Yu Ming was acquired by Xuankong through a chance encounter or his own path of artifact refining!"

Sect Leader Qiu frowned slightly at her words, while other strongest immortal lords from the Human Race Immortal Realm, many demon kings and bodhisattvas all shook their heads slightly.

After several moments of silence,

Sect Leader Qiu looked towards Guang Yu’er again, "It’s a pity Immortal Lin is in retreat....

Since hearing about the miraculous events happening at the Wine Immortal Sect from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, my fellow daoists and I have felt very curious, almost in disbelief, eager to meet Immortal Lin sooner. Now that we’re here at the Wine Immortal Sect, my fellow daoists and I are rather impatient!"

The surrounding powerhouses couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.

In the entire Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, whether in Unbounded Mountain, Human Race Immortal Realm, or Spirit Platform Buddha Realm, for Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect to speak so, eager to meet a cultivator, only Lin Xuankong fits the bill!

The Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er cupped her hands and said,

"If that’s the case, why don’t I enter the Profound Void Cave Mansion now to inform him, asking him to come out and meet with you esteemed seniors?"

Sect Leader Qiu, Immortal Lord Feiyun, Elder Clan Leader of Cyan Dragon Race, Elder Clan Leader of Black Tortoise Race, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, and other powerhouses reacted with expressions of expectation in their eyes.

Not that Lin Xuankong was particularly inviting, but his unrivaled artifact refining technique which shook the entire Immortal Realm is too crucial for the impending final Immortal Demon War!

Every powerhouse understood clearly, even if Lin Xuankong couldn’t refine more Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, successfully crafting several Fifth or Sixth-Grade Immortal Artifacts would be pivotal in changing the course of the soon-to-begin final Immortal Demon War!

At this moment,

Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, who had been silent beside Sect Leader Qiu, suddenly stepped out of the crowd, gently shook her head at Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, and then said,

"Fellow daoists, my true disciple Lin Xuankong’s path of artifact refining is undoubtedly vital and critical to the current state of the Immortal Realm!

However, I clearly understand Xuankong’s character; if he can aid the Human Race Immortal Realm in winning the final Immortal Demon War, he won’t stand idly by!

If he can indeed refine an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, I believe at the crucial moment of the upcoming war, he will surely provide the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact for your use; but if he can’t refine it, or if it was acquired by chance, that is also unfortunate!

My true disciple is currently in closed-door retreat, and if interrupted rashly, it might affect his cultivation progress. I hope everyone considers Mingyu’s request and refrains from disturbing Xuankong’s cultivation!"

With Immortal Lord Luoshui’s plea, the various powerhouses, including Sect Leader Qiu, couldn’t help but feel somewhat frustrated. Yet Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s argument was just and reasonable; even if the powerhouses felt slightly annoyed, they had nothing to rebut.
