To Feng Lingling, the Five Elements Immortal Sect’s foremost genius disciple, Lin Xuankong’s advancement from the early stage of the tenth level to Perfection in a mere two years was an almost unbelievable, seemingly impossible feat—let alone for other cultivators!

Although all disciples capable of joining the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect were geniuses from various dynasties, there were still disparities even among geniuses. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

A top genius like Feng Lingling of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, unmatched even among dozens of generations of disciples from her sect, was naturally worlds apart from ordinary genius disciples. Yet, even this paramount genius of the Five Elements Immortal Sect was worlds apart when compared to Lin Xuankong!

Lin Xuankong’s cultivation speed, so far surpassing Feng Lingling’s, left every disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect present in utter astonishment. This reaction was, of course, perfectly natural.

Of course, what these cultivators didn’t know was that the primary reason Lin Xuankong could cultivate so quickly this time, aside from his own Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate, was the terrifyingly fast cultivation speed of Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er.

It was precisely because Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er possessed the Profound Phoenix Strange Vein, a rarity even among billions of cultivators. Furthermore, she received a full thirtyfold cultivation speed bonus from Lin Xuankong’s "Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters" Talent. This combination allowed Lin Xuankong to achieve an incredibly fearsome cultivation speed—far surpassing countless cultivators and any genius—even if he just lay flat and did nothing!

Amidst everyone’s astonishment and exclamations, the Five Elements Immortal Sect’s First Grand Elder, Five Elements Wanderer, approached Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect with a look of amazement and clasped his hands, saying, "Congratulations, Sect Leader Li! Your sect’s Tributor Mu is not only a grandmaster of artifact refining, far surpassing other artifact refining masters, but also an unparalleled prodigy in cultivation! To advance from the early stage to Perfection of the tenth level in just two short years... such a terrifying cultivation speed! Let alone in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty, where almost no cultivator has achieved this in the past hundreds of thousands of years, even across all five major regions of the entire Central Divine Dynasty, very few cultivators could manage such a feat!"

Several other Earth Immortals from the Five Elements Immortal Sect also clasped their hands, offering their congratulations to Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.

Lin Xuankong was currently about to undergo his Celestial Tribulation, so they couldn’t disturb him directly. However, they certainly wouldn’t miss this chance to praise Lin Xuankong. Since they couldn’t congratulate him in person, they naturally directed their congratulations to Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!

Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was already beaming with pride. Seeing the numerous Earth Immortals from the Five Elements Immortal Sect all congratulating him, the Sect Leader was so overjoyed he could barely stop smiling!

However, before he could respond, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’Er, who was beside the Sect Leader, suddenly thought of something. A trace of anxiety appeared on the beautiful fairy’s face, and she spoke nervously, "Oh dear, Tributor Mu, isn’t it too hasty for you to take the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill now? The Sect Leader and the others just recovered their First-grade Immortal Artifacts and haven’t had a chance to give them to you for nurturing. Moreover, the Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts that you entrusted to our sect’s various Earth Immortals haven’t been returned for you to nurture either... Under these circumstances, do you have enough Immortal Artifacts to face the Celestial Tribulation that’s about to descend?"

As soon as Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’Er said this, the expressions of the many Earth Immortals present, as well as the disciples from both the Five Elements Immortal Sect and the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, faltered. A look of anxiety appeared on many of their faces.

This was especially true for the Earth Immortals and disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Over the past two years, although Lin Xuankong had spent most of his time in secluded cultivation and had limited interaction with them, he had provided the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect with numerous First-grade Immortal Artifacts and Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. This had brought about an earth-shattering transformation in the sect’s strength!

It could be said that now, when the Earth Immortals and disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect went out on missions and encountered those from other immortal sects, they almost invariably received absolute respect. This treatment was worlds apart from what they had previously experienced!

Given these differences in strength and the treatment they received, every Earth Immortal and disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect held Lin Xuankong in profound reverence and gratitude!

Now, reminded by the Spiritual Crane Fairy, everyone realized the potential problem and naturally grew worried.

Even the usually aloof Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er couldn’t help but furrow her brows at this moment.

She glanced at Young Lady Lii Xiaolan beside her and sighed, "Tributor Mu’s Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill... Lan, you must have been the one who gave it to him, right?

"Alas, as your master, I’m not blaming you for giving the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill to Tributor Mu. Given the contributions and changes he has brought to the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, forget one Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill; even if it were a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand such pills, if our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had them, we wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest! What’s unfortunate is that Tributor Mu acted so impulsively in consuming this Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill. By doing so, he’s taking an immense risk!

"If he encounters an ordinary Celestial Tribulation, that would be one thing. But if he faces one of the Twelve Great Tribulations or the Twelve Great Strange Tribulations without sufficient First-grade Immortal Artifacts, I’m afraid there will be serious problems!

"And if, by some chance, he encounters one of the Twelve Great Celestial Immortal Tribulations, like the one Fellow Daoist Feng from the Five Elements Immortal Sect just faced... TSK TSK...."
