Cultivation System: Stronger with Age-Chapter 718 - 304: The Immortal Realm’s Number One Array Prodigy, the Joyful Immortal Lord Luoshui_3
Frankly, it’s quite shameful. Over three years ago, after I joined the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, I came into contact with the Array Formation Method of the Sect’s Thousand Cranes Array. However, due to my dull aptitude, it took me more than three years of arduous study to barely elevate the array formation to the Sixth Layer! This was only possible because I stood on the shoulders of Ancestor Li, the founder of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, read his various array formation texts, and learned from his insights. Even so, I am truly ashamed!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"Ashamed? You’ve studied for just over three years and can already set up a Thousand Cranes Array capable of summoning a Sixth-Grade Array Spirit! Such heaven-defying talent, such a heaven-defying speed of progress in arrays, and you dare say you’re ashamed???"
Seeing Lin Xuankong’s dejected expression and hearing his words, the Cyan-forehead Qilin’s voice rose sharply, its scales bristling!
The White-forehead Qilin was equally astonished, its large eyes nearly bulging from their sockets.
It and Qing had served Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu for millennia. Through constant exposure, they too had dabbled in arrays. However, humans and beasts follow different paths; it was inherently difficult for Spiritual Beasts to study arrays. Understanding the profound Runes of arrays was challenging enough, let alone deploying powerful ones! Thus, despite being by the side of Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu—the most talented and powerful Array Master in the Immortal Realm—for millennia, these two Sixth-Grade Spiritual Beasts had only managed to deploy ordinary Third-Grade Sect Protection Arrays. As for the more profound and mystifying Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array, these two Sixth-Grade Spiritual Beasts hadn’t even grasped the fundamentals!
Nevertheless, having followed Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu for millennia, they had witnessed countless talented Array Masters from the Central Divine Dynasty Central Earth seeking her guidance on array techniques! Among them were Ninth-Grade Earth Immortals and powerful Immortal Lords. However, as far as these two Sixth-Grade Spiritual Beasts knew, not even the most talented Artifact Refiners among the myriad Cultivators of the Central Divine Dynasty Central Earth would dare claim they could master a Sect Protection Array and achieve the proficiency to deploy a Sixth-Grade Grand Array in merely three years!
Three years might seem a considerable time for ordinary mortals—over a thousand days, after all. Yet, for Cultivators in the Immortal Realm, it is but the blink of an eye. To achieve such progress in arrays in so short a time, how could these two Sixth-Grade Spiritual Beasts not be utterly astonished!
Crucially, even if this Mu Shiba were exaggerating, and he hadn’t mastered a Sixth-Grade Sect Protection Array in just three short years, he was still only just over sixty years old! Even if he had been fiddling with arrays since he was in the womb, that was still merely sixty-odd years! To be able to study a Sect Protection Array to the Sixth-Grade level in just over sixty years was enough to leave any Cultivator who heard of it utterly dumbfounded! Take, for instance, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, the Three Grand Elders Sui He, Qing He, and Cang He, and the two Crane Ancestors. Throughout their long Cultivation careers, they had all studied the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s Thousand Cranes Array. The fastest among these ’old monsters’ had spent several millennia, yet to this day, not a single one of them could deploy a Sixth-Grade Thousand Cranes Array... Consider also the more than one thousand Earth Immortals from the one hundred and twenty-six Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region. Each of their sects possessed Sect Protection Arrays and abundant texts on array formations. Yet, despite living for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, not one of these Earth Immortals could deploy a Sixth-Grade Sect Protection Array! One must understand that in the entire Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s Sect Protection Array is peerless—the sole Sixth-Grade Sect Protection Array!
Thinking of all this, the White-forehead Qilin and the Cyan-forehead Qilin—two well-traveled and knowledgeable Sixth-Grade Spiritual Beasts from the Luo Water Immortal Sect in the Central Divine Dynasty Central Earth—gazed at Lin Xuankong and the Sixth-Layered Thousand Cranes Array he had deployed, utterly lost in astonishment.
It wasn’t just these two Sixth-Grade Spiritual Beasts from the Luo Water Immortal Sect; even the typically serene and gentle Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, upon hearing Lin Xuankong’s words and observing the Sixth-Layered Thousand Cranes Array he had deployed, showed a flicker of distinct surprise on her picturesque face. She could no longer maintain her usual calm demeanor!
Seeing their reactions, Lin Xuankong didn’t hesitate.
He decisively activated his Immortal Yuan, extended his right hand, and with fingers pointed towards the Array Hubs at his feet, softly commanded, "Retrieve!"
Instantly, within the Thousand Cranes Array, the eighteen main Array Hubs blazed with innumerable profound Runes, forming eighteen rather peculiar phantoms of Spiritual Cranes. Immediately after, the eighteen Spiritual Crane phantoms abruptly contracted, solidifying into eighteen Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. These then transformed into eighteen streaks of light, shooting towards Lin Xuankong. They halted instantly before him and were drawn into the Ghost Frog Pouch at his waist!
Simultaneously, the transparent energy shield that had enveloped most of the mountain peak dissipated into nothingness.
After retracting the Array, Lin Xuankong cupped his hands towards Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, the White-forehead Qilin, and the Cyan-forehead Qilin. "Senior Immortal Lord Luoshui, esteemed Qilin Immortals," he said, "since you’ve come all this way, why not rest for a while in my humble cave abode? I have prepared some Spirit Tea, a specialty of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, which I hope you will try."
