"But even if we pass the initial test, the seven of us might not stand a chance against those geniuses from various dynasties and Immortal Sects!" Li Xiaohu said, scratching his head. "Godfather, you gave each of us seven brothers a Celestial Demon Bone and several powerful Demon Pearls, but compared to you, our strength is far too inferior. Moreover, those participating in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's initiation ceremony are all top geniuses from various dynasties. Even if they don't match the caliber of someone like Third Princess Xiao Ying'Er, they are still absurdly strong. Not only that, those disciples from the Immortal Sects probably each have a multitude of Magical Artifacts, and possibly even some Immortal Artifacts!"

Hu Shuo cupped his hands and said, "Godfather, it's already a great honor for us to accompany you to Spiritual Crane Immortal City and witness the talents from the Central Divine Dynasty. Just being able to follow you and assist in your endeavors is reward enough! If we were to truly compete in the ceremony alongside you, our chances of winning would be very slim. Of course, if you want us to participate, we'll certainly give it a try, even if it means defeat!"

Yang Mountain, Li Er, and the Liy Family Brothers all showed varied expressions of surprise and hesitation; clearly, they lacked confidence.

Lin Xuankong shook his head and chuckled. "You are all my adopted sons, the people closest and most trustworthy to me. Now that there's an opportunity to join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect together and become true disciples, how could I let you miss it? Once you join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, you'll all be able to cultivate on its Spirit Peak. This will accelerate your Cultivation Speed, and you'll gain access to various resources, greatly increasing your chances of reaching the Earth Immortal Realm!

"Most importantly," he continued, "you must have all heard from Little Hu that the winner of this Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect initiation ceremony will obtain the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object. That object grants the opportunity to form the Sixth Celestial Vein. Then, upon advancing to the Earth Immortal Realm, one can cultivate the Six Paths Golden Core, possessing power far exceeding other Earth Immortals, and greatly increasing the chances of successfully Crossing the Immortal Tribulation!"

Li Xiaohu frowned and said, "I've already informed all seven of them about this! But since it's an opportunity to cultivate the Six Paths Golden Core, the competition will surely be even fiercer!"

Lin Xuankong raised his eyebrows. "What if each of you had an Immortal Artifact?"

"An Immortal Artifact for each of us? But there are seven of us!" Li Xiaohu exclaimed in surprise.

"I've heard that even within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, there are only a few Immortal Artifacts at most. As for the other Immortal Sects in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty, most can barely scrape together a single Immortal Artifact! Godfather, you're not joking, are you?" Han Lu asked, his expression incredulous.

The others also looked puzzled. Of course, they had seen Lin Xuankong use Immortal Artifacts before and were well aware of their power. In the past, several powerful demons, whom even the First-Grade Earth Immortal Galo Bodhisattva could not vanquish, were no match for Lin Xuankong's Immortal Artifact!

But now, having spent so much time in Spiritual Crane Immortal City, Li Xiaohu and the others understood just how rare and difficult Immortal Artifacts were to obtain. Forget about the immensely powerful ones Lin Xuankong possessed; even Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts were exceedingly rare treasures. This was precisely why they lacked confidence in competing in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's initiation ceremony. After all, those genius disciples from various Immortal Sects might very well bring their sect's Immortal Artifacts to such a critically important event.

Lin Xuankong remained silent. With a wave of his hand, the Ghost Frog Pouch at his waist opened automatically. Instantly, numerous radiant beams shot forth from the pouch! These beams landed on the table beside Lin Xuankong, transforming into a dazzling array of Immortal Artifacts: Immortal Swords shimmering with cold light and Spiritual Qi; spears, over ten feet long and brimming with spiritual aura; bright long knives radiating chilling light and killing intent; and two imposing-looking giant hammers.

These radiant, Immortal Qi-infused artifacts numbered a staggering twenty-eight!

Lin Xuankong had specially created these Immortal Artifacts for the seven of them. Among them, Han Lu, Hu Shuo, and Li Xiaohu from the Yin Talisman Sect all excelled in Sword Techniques. Yang Mountain was skilled with long spears, often using them to channel Yin Talisman Thunder even after cultivating it. Li Er was proficient with hammers, while the Liy Family Brothers were adept with long knives. Although Cultivators generally employed Sword Aura or blade aura to activate Immortal Artifacts for ranged attacks, close combat with equally matched opponents was still a possibility. Hence, even when using Immortal Artifacts, it was best if they corresponded to the weapons the Cultivators were proficient with.

At this moment, seeing the glowing weapons on the table, Li Xiaohu and the other six were rooted to the spot. Their experience now far surpassed what they had in the Great Xia Dynasty. They could easily recognize these weapons as genuine Immortal Artifacts. Even if not as powerful as Lin Xuankong's own, they were vastly superior to any Battle Armor or Magical Artifact ordinary Cultivators used!

The crucial point wasn't just one or two items. There were twenty-eight real Immortal Artifacts right there, twenty-eight actual, honest-to-goodness Immortal Artifacts!

Dazzled by the sight, Li Xiaohu's eyes widened, his voice stuttering, "G-g-g-Godfather, are these all... all your Immortal Artifacts?"

Hu Shuo's mouth dropped wide open, almost large enough to fit Li Xiaohu's head inside. Yang Mountain and Li Er were stupefied, completely unable to believe their eyes. As much as they revered Lin Xuankong, they had never imagined he would casually produce twenty-eight Immortal Artifacts with a mere wave of his hand. These weren't mere kindling; they were true Immortal Artifacts that would make any Cultivator green with envy!

Han Lu was equally shocked. He glanced from the powerful and uniquely shaped Immortal Artifacts to Lin Xuankong, then swallowed hard. "Godfather, don't tell me you wiped out some mid-sized Immortal Sect and plundered their Immortal Artifact Storage Room? This many Immortal Artifacts... it feels like even a mid-sized Immortal Sect couldn't possibly possess this many! At the very least, a sect like the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect definitely wouldn't have so many! Forget one Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect; even with all the genius disciples from various Immortal Sects gathered in Spiritual Crane Immortal City right now, their combined Immortal Artifacts probably wouldn't add up to twenty-eight!"

Lin Xuankong shot Han Lu an exasperated look. "Wiped out a mid-sized Immortal Sect? Do you take their Earth Immortals for pushovers? A mid-sized Immortal Sect might have fewer Immortal Artifacts than I do, but they have dozens, even hundreds, of Earth Immortals. They're not so easily plundered. You think they're like those bandit lairs near Great Marsh Prefecture in the Great Xia Dynasty? I have my ways of acquiring these Immortal Artifacts, but the specifics must remain a secret from you all for now. Ahem, don't just stand there gawking. These Immortal Artifacts were crafted according to the weapons each of you excels with. I don't need to assign them, do I?"

The seven of them stood in astonished silence. Li Xiaohu's breathing grew rapid, his face flushing with excitement as he asked, "Crafted according to the weapons we excel with? Godfather, does that mean... these Immortal Artifacts are for us?"

Lin Xuankong nodded nonchalantly. "Yes, four Immortal Artifacts per person. Those adept with swords, pick four Immortal Swords. Those skilled with knives, pick four long knives. Those proficient with hammers or spears, take your respective weapons! Unfortunately, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's initiation ceremony is about to start, so I could only manage to get four for each of you this time."

With that, Lin Xuankong looked at the seven, who were still stunned speechless. "What? You think four isn't enough? Make do with these for now. When I have more time, I'll get you more Immortal Artifacts!"
