Chapter 1266: Chapter 543: New Miraculous Talents (2)
The wondrous and unrivaled Old and Wise talent paired with the Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters talent allowed Lin Xuankong to directly influence Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu, granting this Immortal Lord, who already possessed an extraordinary Array Formation Talent, a cultivation and comprehension speed boost of 2,500 times!
With such terrifying boosts in comprehension and cultivation speed, how could Immortal Lord Luoshui Yaan Mingyu not constantly be inspired and bursting with ideas?
Apart from the Luo Water Array reaching the Sixth Realm, the artifact refining genius Miss Xiao Xiuyi, who had long been secluded in the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm, also did not disappoint Lin Xuankong. Under the influence of the 2,500 times boost in comprehension and cultivation speed, over the course of more than 4,000 years, the artifact refining genius Miss Xiao Xiuyi, who inherently possessed an incredibly strong artifact refining talent, had already succeeded in refining a Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact imbued with a trace of Source Power — transformed without triggering a Celestial Tribulation!
Moreover, what surprised Lin Xuankong the most was that the artifact refining genius Miss Xiao recently informed him she was quite confident in further increasing the power of the Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact imbued with trace Source Power several times, although such alterations still required a period for her to deduce and trial!
Thus,
Though Lin Xuankong usually undertook tasks with caution, even though his strength had surged considerably now, granting him more resources and options, he still decided:
Not to trigger the final Celestial Tribulation immediately, to first have the Luo Water Array attain the Seventh or Eighth Realm, and then to wait for the artifact refining genius Miss Xiao to craft even more powerful Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts imbued with greater Source Power!
Additionally, Lin Xuankong’s age increased to 5,008 years,
and he once again gained two extremely marvelous Rule Talents:
The Seventh Talent of the Life Plate: [Old Antiques] Rule Talent, upon activation, consumes a certain amount of lifespan to instantly increase the maturity level of target materials or plants. At the current age of 5,008 years, it can enhance the maturity of plants or materials by 5,008 years instantly, consuming 500 years of lifespan.
The Eighth Talent of the Life Plate: [Cunning and Deceitful] Rule Talent, upon activation, consumes a certain amount of lifespan to cause an opponent’s attack power to lose its target, brushing past and decreasing their attack’s power by 95 percent. At the current age of 5,008 years, each activation of [Cunning and Deceitful] Rule Talent consumes 500 years of lifespan.
The seventh talent—Old Antiques—allowed Lin Xuankong to obtain highly mature Spirit Fruits and Elixirs in extremely short times, thus providing the artifact refining genius Miss Xiao and the alchemy prodigy Young Lady Lii Xiaolan with precious Spirit Grass, Spirit Fruits, and refining materials swiftly, allowing Miss Xiao to freely experiment with powerful Immortal Artifacts, and empowering Young Lady Lii Xiaolan to craft substantial quantities of Divine Marvelous Elixirs, particularly numerous High-Grade Turtle Ling Immortal Elixirs!
Despite Lin Xuankong not possessing the profound understanding of the Celestial Demon realm expert Qingmu Celestial Demon about Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, unaware of the realm’s entry into its World Cycle End of Dharma Era, Lin Xuankong knew well that attaining large quantities of highly mature Spirit Fruits, Elixirs, and high-grade refining materials in today’s Golden Dragon Immortal Realm was exceedingly difficult!
It’s not that those Earth Immortals and powerhouses whom he instructed to collect materials and elixirs weren’t diligent,
It’s mainly that since entering the End of Dharma Era, the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm’s production of Spirit Fruits, Elixirs, and high-grade materials was extremely scarce!
Fortunately, Lin Xuankong awakened the potent rule-based talent [Old Antiques] when he reached the age of 1,000 years, gifting Miss Xiao Xiuyi and Young Lady Lii Xiaolan with abundant Spirit Grass, Spirit Fruits, Elixirs, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for crafting potent Immortal Artifacts and divine elixirs!
As for the lifespan consumed by activating [Old Antiques] talent... Though each activation consumes a full 500 years of lifespan limit for Lin Xuankong, for someone with a lifespan limit of over 90 million years, the cost of 500 years is almost negligible!
And when Lin Xuankong reached the age of 5,000 years, the awakened talent was even more astonishing!
[Cunning and Deceitful] Rule Talent in defense is on par with the [Growing Stronger with Age] Rule Talent; though [Growing Stronger with Age] strengthens defenses significantly in a short time, its defensive power is insufficient against techniques like Lin Xuankong’s Rule Talent [Piercing the Mountain and Hitting the Ox], which ignores defensive power!
The [Cunning and Deceitful] Rule Talent is different; as long as Lin Xuankong has enough lifespan limit, it reduces the opponent’s attack power on striking Lin Xuankong’s Immortal Body or Divine Soul directly by 95 percent, weakening it nearly to the effect of making the opponent’s power one-twentieth of the original!
Crucially, because [Cunning and Deceitful] is a rule-based talent unlike other Divine Marvelous Immortal Techniques or bizarre Demon Techniques, once activated, it can significantly diminish any opponent—even a Great Success Realm Celestial Demon or Saint Monarch-level Celestial Demon—when attacking Lin Xuankong!
With these two newly added marvelous talents,
Lin Xuankong’s resources multiplied substantially...If not for Lin Xuankong’s prudence and stability, with a slightly more competitive temperament, he might have already invoked the final Celestial Tribulation due to acquiring various wondrous talents and Immortal techniques and Demon techniques!
Over these three thousand years,
With the boost from added talents, Divine Marvelous Immortal Techniques, powerful Demon Techniques, transformed Immortal Artifact, Six-Layered Luo Water Array, etc., Lin Xuankong’s strength grew exponentially!
At this moment, upon sensing his Brain Mansion for breaths, Lin Xuankong could not help but reveal a trace of joy.
However,
Over these three thousand years,
Not everything has gone smoothly, ensuring constant joy for Lin Xuankong!
Recently, an incident occurred that has caused some vexation for Lin Xuankong....
Thinking of that incident, Ling Xuankong’s face initially carrying a hint of joy, unwillingly showed a trace of vexation, his brow involuntarily furrowing.
Right at this moment,
At the entrance to the cave, suddenly rang out the voice of Cyan-forehead Qilin, the young genius of the Qilin Race,
"Master, Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, Grand Elder Qiu, Immortal Lord Guangqing, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, among others of the Strongest Immortal Lord-level powers, have made ample preparations. Now they’ve arrived at a location 1,500 miles outside the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, and won’t take long for these Strongest Immortal Lord-level powers to each invoke their final Celestial Tribulation!"
This Cyan-forehead Qilin, akin to White-forehead Qilin Bai E, had also advanced to the Strongest Immortal Lord-level. Though Cyan-forehead Qilin and White-forehead Qilin were only at the Initial Stage of the Strongest Immortal Lord, they were genuine top-tier Great Demon Kings!
Upon hearing Cyan-forehead Qilin’s words, Lin Xuankong’s expression shifted,
Were Sect Leader Qiu and Grand Elder, Immortal Lord Guangqing, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva and others going to face the final Celestial Tribulation today?
Thinking about the situation observed through the red glow of his Nine Gates Celestial Eye, and considering these Strongest Immortal Lord-level powers had almost no chance of overcoming the final Celestial Tribulation to contend against the Qingmu Celestial Demon or the Bird-faced Celestial Demon among other Celestial Demon Realm powerhouses, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but feel a pang of frustration.
Regarding the happenings at the entrance connecting Golden Dragon Immortal Realm to Supreme Origin Realm, Lin Xuankong had thoroughly informed Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, and other Strongest Immortal Lord-level powers.
Lin Xuankong’s intention was clearly to protect some of these powers facing the final Celestial Tribulation...
However, including Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, none of the Strongest Immortal Lord-level powers were intimidated by the information Lin Xuankong secretly conveyed.
