Retracting his gaze,
Lin Xuankong looked up at the sky, his Celestial Immortal Body quickly heading toward the World Passage.
At the very moment he entered the World Passage, he suddenly felt his hairs stand on end, his heart pounding, and his Celestial Immortal Body’s skin covered in countless goosebumps. Lin Xuankong’s Divine Soul sensed a cold and indifferent consciousness sweeping across his body! The reactions on his Celestial Immortal Body were clearly generated by that consciousness!
Fortunately, that vast, boundless, and incredibly powerful consciousness, seemingly even superior to the Divine Soul of the Golden Dragon Ancestor, did not linger on Lin Xuankong. After sweeping across his body, it vanished completely!
As Lin Xuankong quickly traversed the World Passage, his pupils constricted, his heart still racing uncontrollably.
The Golden Dragon Ancestor was said to have dominated the Supreme Origin Realm for hundreds of billions of years, having achieved the position of Saint Monarch long ago, standing atop countless cultivators in the Supreme Origin Realm!
When the Divine Soul of the Golden Dragon Ancestor communicated with Lin Xuankong, although it left him feeling utterly powerless to resist, it never gave him such a vast, strong, and indifferent sensation...
Perhaps this is the realm higher than the Saint Monarch that the Golden Dragon Ancestor mentioned? That unspeakable, unnameable, unapproachable supreme being? According to the Golden Dragon Ancestor, such a supreme being could lock onto the Golden Dragon Ancestor from across countless worlds just by mentioning their name or describing any aspect of them!
Maybe the Golden Dragon Ancestor had fallen at the hands of such a powerful supreme being back then! Otherwise, with the proclaimed true Saint Monarch strength and status of the Golden Dragon Ancestor in the Supreme Origin Realm, how could he have fallen, been forced to slumber for tens of millions of years, and still not dare to mention the name or details of that being!
Indeed, the Supreme Origin Realm is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, more exciting and dangerous than the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm!
I must be careful......
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong silently mused: It seems I truly should heed the advice of the Golden Dragon Ancestor. Upon ascending to the Supreme Origin Realm, if I encounter those Initial Tier Celestial Demons and Minor Success Celestial Demons of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race, I must temporarily refrain from fully revealing my various talents and achievements in the Path of Artifact Refining. Otherwise, not to mention attracting the attention of that unspeakable supreme being, even drawing the direct attention of that Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch could lead to mortal danger!
...
Red Water Demon City, Cyan Wood Forest, near the entrance to Passage Number Three.
Sitting at the head of his grand hall, the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon was surrounded by twenty Ninth-Grade Demon Artifacts floating incessantly. Each floating Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact emitted powerful waves.
These twenty Ninth-Grade Demon Artifacts were naturally acquired by him from Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect and other Initial Tier Celestial Immortals long ago. After years of nurturing, all of them had been transformed into powerful and precious Ninth-Grade Demon Artifacts! Although in the Supreme Origin Realm, those dedicated to refining demon artifacts might have been immersed in the Path of Artifact Refining for tens of millions of years, the number of Celestial Demon Artifact Refiners who could easily refine Ninth-Grade Demon Artifacts still wasn’t many!
Even in the mighty Red Water Demon City, the number of Celestial Demon Artifact Refiners capable of producing Ninth-Grade Demon Artifacts was only in the single digits!
After all, the Path of Artifact Refining exhausts too much heart spirit and energy, requiring serene research and refinement. Most demons are accustomed to cultivating various bloodthirsty and brutal demon techniques; few demons are willing to spend time on this path! Compared to the Human Race, cultivators of the Celestial Demon Race are still more inclined to spend time on cultivation or indulge in various pleasures in the Supreme Origin Realm. For the Path of Artifact Refining, which hampers cultivation and consumes immense heart spirit, they generally lack interest!
Especially since the Path of Artifact Refining demands extremely high talent, even among hundreds of thousands of Celestial Demons, it’s uncertain if there’s one truly gifted in this path, leading to the scarcity of truly powerful Celestial Demon Artifact Refiners even in the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race of Red Water Demon City!
Therefore, the acquisition of dozens of Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts thousands of years ago reinforced the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon’s resolve. He continued to dispatch all Initial Tier Celestial Demons from Cyan Wood Forest to encircle the area around the entrance to Passage Number Three completely, with a larger scale than thousands of years ago!
"According to the soul-search results from those twenty or more Initial Tier Celestial Immortals, Celestial Demons, and Celestial Buddhas from the Golden Dragon Mini World, the Artifact Refiner named Lin Xuankong is not only supremely gifted in the Path of Artifact Refining but is also astonishingly talented in cultivation!
If that is so, the Artifact Refiner named Lin Xuankong should long have possessed sufficient strength to overcome the final celestial tribulation of the Earth Immortal and ascend to the Supreme Origin Realm!
Yet after waiting thousands of years, my thousands of subordinates have grown restless, but the Artifact Refiner named Lin Xuankong still hasn’t ascended, which is indeed bizarre!"
A hint of doubt flashed in the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon’s eyes as he looked toward the Red-haired Celestial Demon beside him.
Thousands of years have passed, and the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon, as the lord of the entire Cyan Wood Forest and the most talented among all the demons, has rapidly advanced in strength and is now very close to the Mid Stage of Minor Success Realm. The Red-haired Celestial Demon, who was once equal in strength to the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon, has made little progress after thousands of years of cultivation, still remaining at the Early Stage of Minor Success Realm!
