Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 285 The Ancestor of the Sky-Splitting Sword
"This is……"

Lin Jing took out the Heavenly Demon Scroll, and the scroll floated in the air.

The red-haired woman looked bewildered upon seeing this.

Not only him, but most of the cultivators who saw the Heavenly Demon Scroll did not recognize it.

However, although they didn't know what the Heavenly Demon Scroll was, they recognized the images on it!

"That's the Nine-Headed Demon Lord of the Yin Corpse Sect... How did his portrait end up on there?"

“And there’s also the Celestial Lion Ancestor…” Someone saw a lion-shaped primordial spirit.

"The image of the Heavenly Fire Ancestor is indeed on this scroll. What's going on? What is this thing?!"

Many people were stunned.

The scroll features not only images of renowned and powerful figures, but also numerous images of formidable monsters!
Images of a dozen or so wolf clans, dozens of sky-devouring pythons, hundreds of carrion-eating ants... the scroll was filled with them all.

"Could it be..."

"Could this be the supreme treasure of the now-extinct Heavenly Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon Scroll?!"

Suddenly, a voice came from afar.

Of the three alchemists who descended from the Tower of Babel, the Sun and Moon Alchemist exclaimed in surprise.

"The Heavenly Demon Scroll can record the portraits of those who harbor strong hostility towards the holder within a certain range..."

"After the destruction of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon Scroll disappeared without a trace, yet it has appeared here."

"Sun and Moon Pill Sect!"

When the Sun and Moon Pill Sect arrived at the Pill Gathering and heard her explanation, the crowd was in an uproar.

They looked at the scroll again, deeply moved.

It turns out that there are so many people and demons in Tongtian City who are plotting against the Longevity Body. Among them, there are several Kongxuan Demon Ancestors!

"Dan Zong has a good eye; this is indeed the Heavenly Demon Scroll." Lin Jing smiled as he saw that someone recognized its value.

Upon receiving Lin Jing's confirmation, the cultivators and demonic beasts appearing on the scroll displayed even stronger killing intent in their eyes.

They were all located inside and outside Tongtian City, paying attention to the Pill Gathering. At this moment, Lin Jing exposed their thoughts, which was tantamount to humiliation.

“This kid—” At one point, the vice dean of the academy felt a wave of dizziness. He tugged at his goatee, not understanding where Lin Jing had gotten this item. But, did Lin Jing take it out because he thought he had too many enemies?

Currently, there are indeed many people around who have ulterior motives towards Lin Jing. However, as long as they have not actually made a move, they are very likely to abandon their original goals depending on the situation.

However, now that Lin Jing has directly exposed those who plotted against him, even if these people cannot obtain Lin Jing, they will definitely try to make sure that Lin Jing cannot recover. After all, most people do not want to have a terrifying potential enemy with a long lifespan.

"A suicidal act."

"What does this human have to rely on?"

Several demon ancestors spoke in hushed tones, eager to make their move immediately.

However, at that very moment, a voice rang out.

"I'd like to see who dares to touch him."

Just as those present were pessimistic about Lin Jing's future, a sharp sword intent suddenly soared into the sky.

The void was pierced, and an old woman with gray hair and a sword-wielding robe stepped out. *Whoosh!*
The moment she appeared, it seemed as if the sky was pierced through. Upon seeing this old woman, the eyes of the powerful figures from the academy in the crowd lit up.

"is her."

The academy's vice-principal was overjoyed. They had been waiting for reinforcements from the ancient kingdom for a long time, but unexpectedly, this person was the one who arrived in the end.

With her there, Vice Dean Goatee had greater confidence in protecting the forest after the Dan Conference ended.

"The number one sword sect in the world, the ancestor of the ancient Heavenly Sword Sect, the Heaven-Splitting Sword Ancestor..." Upon seeing this old woman, someone recognized her.

A sword cultivator in the Void Profound stage...

Sword cultivators are known for their offensive prowess and unparalleled combat strength, especially someone as renowned as the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor.

This is a legend from thousands of years ago, from an ancient kingdom thousands of years ago, about a sword cultivator with the most terrifying talent.

To everyone's surprise, the ancient kingdom sent out such an old monster in order to protect this immortal being.

"You are Lin Jing." The Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor looked at Lin Jing: "From now on, I will protect you."

"The Ancestor of the Sky-Splitting Sword..." Lin Jing was slightly taken aback.

He had considered that as a student of the academy, the academy's experts might protect him, and as a member of the Demon Extermination Division, the Demon Extermination Division's experts might also protect him. However, he never expected that the person who came would be the patriarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

If there is any connection between him and the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor, it is that he knows the other party's personal disciple.

Ancient Kingdom, the Sword Immortal of Lingyue...

However, it seems that he and the Sword Immortal Lingyue do not have a very deep relationship.

Although the other party has always wanted to make him a teammate in exorcising demons, using the attraction of the immortal body to slay demons together, he has always refused. At most, the two of them have only met a few times.

How could someone with such a brief acquaintance possibly persuade his master to come to Qingzhou and face several Void Profound stage enemies?

The Heaven-Splitting Sword Ancestor's aura soared to the heavens, and he had his own considerations. In fact, after the news of Lin Jing was relayed back to the ancient kingdom, most of the Void Profound Realm experts also understood that the Longevity Body was in a very dangerous situation.

Even the Demon Extermination Division's Child Immortal, who had high hopes for Lin Jing, did not intend to travel to Qingzhou to help Lin Jing escape his predicament. After all, he might face not only the Yin Corpse Sect and the Gu God Sect, but also many Void Profound Demon Ancestors in Qingzhou.

However, the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor made a different choice.

“I have heard my disciple mention you before. You have become the number one genius of the ancient kingdom with your immortal body. Your future is immeasurable. Although my disciple did not ask me to rescue you because she was worried about my old bones, I can tell that she does not want you to die so soon.”

"I am now over five thousand years old, and have failed three times in my quest for enlightenment. My lifespan is less than a hundred years. I have come here for two reasons. First, I have heard that you have a method to extend people's lifespan. If it is just a rumor, then so be it. Second, I want to take advantage of this great battle to make a final attempt to seek enlightenment through battle. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship between my disciple and the Heavenly Sword Sect. If you successfully escape with my help, I hope that you will take care of the Heavenly Sword Sect for the rest of your life. This should not be too difficult for someone with your longevity, right?"

The Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor transmitted her voice, stating her purpose directly: it turned out that she too was nearing the end of her life.

I see……

"Thank you very much, senior." Lin Jing clasped his hands in thanks. Although the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor had other purposes, he was here to help him after all, so Lin Jing accepted the favor.

"Alright, Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor, do not disrupt the order of the Pill Gathering. During the Pill Gathering, no one is allowed to attack the participants." At this moment, the Creation Pill Sect spoke up.

In the void, countless pairs of cold eyes were also staring at the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor.

"Heh... Looks like a troublesome fellow has arrived."

"No wonder this immortal being was so arrogant. He finally dared to show his face and even took out the Heavenly Demon Scroll. It turns out he was protected by the former number one swordsman in the world."

"However, this old woman is also nearing the end of her life. In her current state, she is far from capable of protecting the Longevity Body!"
