Cultivation System: Stronger with Age-Chapter 722 - 305: Dispelling the Clouds to See the Sun, Great Breakthrough in the Array Realm_2
As for that Artifact Refining Genius Miss Xiao, she had recently refined many times more Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts than him within the Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm—over ten thousand, in fact, and many were Middle-High Grade! According to Artifact Refining Genius Miss Xiao, and as he himself had sensed, she had recently gained new insights into Artifact Refining. In another decade or so, Miss Xiao might even occasionally refine Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts! In such circumstances, revealing his own achievement of refining eighteen Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts in a year was hardly exposing his trump card...
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong nodded and said, "Indeed. Over the past year, with the abundant materials provided by White-forehead Qilin Immortal Bai E, and my luck being good during Artifact Refining, I managed to refine eighteen Initial Tier Immortal Swords!"
"Good luck?"
A myriad of expressions flashed across Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s delicate face as she shook her head in amazement and said, "This can’t merely be attributed to good luck! My Luo Water Immortal Sect has a million disciples and thousands of Earth Immortals. Among them are many Artifact Refiners with excellent talent. Yet, even the most skilled Artifact Refining Master among them would need several years to successfully refine a single Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, even at their luckiest! Mr. Mu, your Artifact Refining skills have truly exceeded my expectations time and again!"
As she spoke, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu paused, then suddenly extended her right hand toward Lin Xuankong and said, "Could I perhaps use those eighteen Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts you just employed, Mr. Mu?"
She wants to use Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts? Lin Xuankong was somewhat surprised. However, this senior showed such high regard and favor for him. Not to mention eighteen Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, even if she asked for more, how could he refuse? He wouldn’t even decline if she intended to use his Third-Grade Immortal Artifact!
He lightly patted the Ghost Frog Pouch at his waist. Eighteen streams of light shot out, landing in Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu’s palm. These eighteen newly refined Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, under Lin Xuankong’s control, shrank to a diminutive size. Even lined up, all eighteen Immortal Swords still didn’t fill her palm. Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu then raised her left hand and pressed it onto the eighteen Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts in her right palm.
「In an instant.」
Lin Xuankong felt a tremor in his Heart Spirit. The eighteen Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts—which he had refined, nurtured, and infused with the Thousand Cranes Grand Array Pattern—suddenly lost their connection to him.
He looked at Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, somewhat astonished. Since arriving in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, he had used Immortal Artifacts in battle many times. However, even when facing Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals, no one had ever managed to sever his connection to his nurtured Immortal Artifacts with a mere flip of their hand. Even the Celestial Tribulation Creatures hadn’t managed that!
Yet, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu had instantly severed the connection between him and all eighteen Initial Tier Immortal Swords.
If she used this technique against him in combat, it meant something alarming. No matter how many Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts he wielded—tens, hundreds, or even thousands—she could sever their connection to his Divine Soul and Immortal Yuan with ease if she wished!
Thinking of this, a trace of apprehension flickered in Lin Xuankong’s eyes. Ever since he first encountered this powerful Ninth-Grade Perfection Realm Immortal Lord, her calm and gentle demeanor had made him cautious, but not overly wary, during their first meeting. However, the scene unfolding before him gave Lin Xuankong his first clear and profound realization of the power wielded by a Ninth-Grade Perfection Realm Earth Immortal!
With a simple flick of her hand, she could sever the connection to his Heart Spirit and his Immortal Yuan! This was equivalent to instantly taking away his Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts!
Indeed, his decision not to rely on tens of thousands of Immortal Artifacts to deal with the Demon Generals and Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect was the right one. With such a vast gap in cultivation Realms and Heart Thought grades, no matter how many Immortal Artifacts one possessed, it would be difficult to threaten top-level Eighth-Grade or Ninth-Grade Earth Immortals!
Furthermore, his decision back then to focus solely on the Path of Array, preparing a High-Grade Sect Protection Array as his trump card against the Demon Fiends, Demon Generals, and Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, was indeed a decisive and correct choice!
Thinking of this, the immense apprehension Lin Xuankong had initially felt when Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu severed his connection to the Immortal Artifacts gradually eased, and his mind returned to peace.
At this moment, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu raised her left hand. Channeling the incredibly pure Immortal Yuan of a Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal, she began to inscribe something above the eighteen Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. Very soon, Lin Xuankong saw familiar, profound Runes appear one after another. Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu was using her Immortal Yuan to sketch these Runes in mid-air before they descended onto the tiny Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts below.
Lin Xuankong recognized these Runes instantly. He was extremely surprised because Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu was inscribing the very Array Patterns and Runes he himself used when setting up the Thousand Cranes Array and employing Immortal Artifacts as the Array Hub.
"Immortal Lord Luoshui, you also know how to set up the Thousand Cranes Array?" Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but ask.
While continuing to inscribe Runes and Array Patterns, Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu nodded slightly and said:
