Chapter 663 - 293: The Unparalleled Genius of the Immortal Realm, Lin Xuankong’s Overbearing Aura_3
However, the Celestial Tribulation Tributor Mu encountered was immense—thirty-six times the power of a normal Great Celestial Immortal Tribulation. It manifested thirty-six Celestial Tribulation Creatures, each as enormous as a Celestial Immortal. This Thirty-Six Great Celestial Immortal Tribulation might last for more than a thousand breaths, perhaps even for several intervals of A Cup of Tea’s Time.
"It has only been A Cup of Tea’s Time so far," someone remarked, "and it might take several more intervals of A Cup of Tea’s Time to witness the end of the Thirty-Six Great Celestial Immortal Tribulation!"
Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there could be a Celestial Tribulation so fierce and enduring. Even more astonishing are Tributor Mu’s methods and strength; he’s withstanding this Thirty-Six Great Celestial Immortal Tribulation by sheer force!
"The key point is, if, as Grand Elder Sui He said, this Celestial Tribulation could indeed last for several intervals of A Cup of Tea’s Time, then the benefits Tributor Mu would gain from it might be unimaginable! Comparing ten breaths to several intervals of A Cup of Tea’s Time... the difference in time is a hundredfold!
"Moreover, this Thirty-Six Great Celestial Immortal Tribulation was driven by thirty-six Celestial Tribulation Creatures simultaneously. Consequently, the Celestial Tribulation Special Immortal Essence from this Celestial Tribulation could be a thousand times that of an ordinary Celestial Tribulation!
"Lan, your husband Tributor Mu is truly remarkable. I can hardly fathom the fortune you must have encountered to meet such an extraordinary talent!"
Upon hearing her master’s praise, Young Lady Li Xiaolan couldn’t help but smile, her lips curving upwards. "Master, you’re too kind. I’m a bit ashamed!"
Master, please praise my husband more! Since I began my tutelage, it’s been over three years, and never before have I found your words so pleasant!
Just then, among the Earth Immortals, an Initial Tier Earth Immortal from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect pointed towards Lin Xuankong’s Immortal Body in the sky and exclaimed in a low voice,
"Something’s not right, something’s really off!
"Tributor Mu’s Immortal Body has now reached nearly three thousand eight hundred feet,
which is almost as large as mine at Initial Tier Earth Immortal Perfection!
"But it took me one thousand four hundred years to cultivate from the Early Stage of Initial Tier Earth Immortal to this state... whereas Tributor Mu achieved this height easily within A Cup of Tea’s Time. Doesn’t this mean Tributor Mu will not only successfully complete the Celestial Tribulation but also save nearly a thousand years of Cultivation time, directly reaching Initial Tier Earth Immortal Perfection!
"This...this heaven-defying opportunity hasn’t been seen in the Central Province Divine Dynasty Immortal Realm for hundreds of thousands of years!"
The First Grand Elder of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, Five Elements Wanderer, looked at Lin Xuankong with a face filled with complex emotions and a sense of loss.
He sighed softly and said,
"It’s not just you, Fellow Daoist, who spent a thousand years cultivating from the Early Stage of Initial Tier Earth Immortal to Initial Tier Earth Immortal Perfection!
"Ten thousand years ago, I, Five Elements Wanderer, was hailed as the foremost genius of the Five Elements Immortal Sect. Yet, it still took me nine hundred and eighty years to advance from the Early Stage of Initial Tier Earth Immortal to Initial Tier Earth Immortal Perfection!
"I once believed my Cultivation Speed in the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm was exceptionally fast. Indeed, I had never heard of anyone in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region whose Cultivation Speed in this realm surpassed my own!
"After all, once Cultivators enter the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm, the resources they consume multiply by dozens, even hundreds of times compared to the Ninth Layer of the Transcendence Realm. Furthermore, progress demands favorable geography—locations with potent Spirit Veins and abundant Immortal Yuan. Cultivation in the Earth Immortal Realm is vastly slower and more arduous than for Transcendence Realm Cultivators!
"And yet... Tributor Mu, within merely A Cup of Tea’s Time, has drawn upon the Celestial Tribulation Special Immortal Essence from this Celestial Tribulation to reach a state nearing Initial Tier Earth Immortal Perfection!
"Before Tributor Mu, the supposed difficulty and glacial pace of Cultivation in the Earth Immortal Realm have become utterly meaningless!
"As for my past renown as the ’Five Elements Immortal Sect’s foremost genius’ and my so-called exceptional Cultivation Speed... it’s all a laughable jest now!"
Grand Elder Sui He noticed Five Elements Wanderer’s expression of complex emotions and loss, and couldn’t help feeling a bit moved. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said,
"Fellow Daoist of the Five Elements, why so despondent? In your era, within our Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, you were undeniably an astonishing talent. Even now, you remain the Earth Immortal with the highest Cultivation here; even I am a step behind you! As for Tributor Mu, you could compare yourself to anyone else, so why insist on comparing yourself to him?
"His Talent and bloodline, capable of attracting such a terrifying Celestial Tribulation, must be astoundingly potent... Likely, throughout the entire Immortal Realm, over hundreds of thousands of years, few prodigies could ever hope to match him!
"Heh, I believe, Fellow Daoist of the Five Elements, that you shouldn’t feel disheartened. Instead, you should consider yourself fortunate! Fortunate that you and an astonishing prodigy like Tributor Mu were not contemporaries!
"Otherwise, never mind you; even the foremost genius among the billions upon billions of Cultivators in the entire Central Divine Dynasty today would pale in comparison to Tributor Mu. They would undoubtedly live their lives overshadowed by him!"
Five Elements Wanderer, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment and then a smile touched his lips. He replied,
"Fellow Daoist Sui He, you speak the truth. I was indeed too fixated, and on the wrong thing! It was foolish of me to even think of comparing myself to an unparalleled prodigy of the Immortal Realm like Tributor Mu! Setting aside his peerless Talent, his masterful Artifact Refining Technique alone is far beyond anything I could achieve!"
