Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 298 Ancient Mysteries
Shen Song felt like he was still dreaming.

However, after Lin Jing brought Senior Shen Song into the palace and explained the reasons for his arrival in Qingzhou, Shen Song realized that he was indeed dreaming.

"What did you say? You taught the Celestial Lion Clan's captive Longevity Demon Body technique?"

"She also destroyed the treasure vault of the Celestial Lion Clan, causing countless treasures to flow into the void?"

Shen Song's expression was strange. He was definitely dreaming. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?

"Senior Shensong, you are not dreaming."

“I have now truly become the Holy Son of the Demon Court. You should have seen the Mosquito Woman sitting on the mountaintop outside.”

"The method of transformation was indeed created by me. As for the pill gathering in Tongtian City, you can ask any cultivator in Qingzhou now, and they will know it like the back of their hand." Lin Jing smiled slightly.

"I know it's hard for you to accept right now, but don't worry, senior. Even though I'm now under the protection of His Majesty the Demon Emperor, even though I'm now the Holy Son of the Demon Court, even though I personally killed nine Void Profound beings, the longevity blood I promised you still stands. After all, your kindness in passing on your skills and protecting my path is greater than anything else."

"..." What Shen Song found hard to accept was that if all of this was true, then the batch of resources he had picked up, the resources that helped him break through to the Void Profound realm ahead of time, were all thanks to this kid.
"Let me calm down..." Lin Jing laughed when he saw Senior Shensong's expression of disbelief. He had long wanted to see Senior Shensong with this expression.

Although he was also surprised that Senior Shensong had broken through to the Void Profound stage, it was clear that what he had done in Qingzhou was even more fantastical to Senior Shensong.

"Laugh, what a joke."

Seeing Lin Jing exuding an air of ease and comfort, like a "second-generation immortal," Mo Song couldn't help but pour cold water on Lin Jing's enthusiasm.

"Your experience has indeed surprised me. I am relieved that you have the protection of the Demon Emperor. However, you are celebrating too soon."

"Do you think that just because you have the Demon Emperor's protection, everything will be fine?"

"Hmm?" Lin Jing was taken aback and said, "Senior Shen Song, do you mean...?"

With the Demon Emperor's protection, Lin Jing felt that there was very little that could pose a threat to him in the Tianyuan Continent. After all, the Demon Emperor's combat power was definitely in the top tier in the Tianyuan Continent.

However, he believed that Senior Shensong would not speak without reason, and the other party's serious tone did not seem fake.

"I was teleported to..." Shen Song began to recount his experiences after being teleported, without concealing his identity as the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon Sect's leader and an outsider.

Lin Jing remained silent after hearing this.

"Don't worry, I am a reincarnated being and have no connection with the Heavenly Demon Sect anymore."

"From the remnant soul of that demon who failed to ascend, I learned many things, including the reason why people in the lower realm cannot ascend now!"

"What is it?!" Lin Jing didn't care about Senior Shensong's identity, after all, he was also from beyond the heavens.

However, he was very curious about the reason why he couldn't ascend.

Although he did not yearn for ascending to the Immortal Realm, such a major event must be related to the changing situation between the Immortal Realm and the Lower Realm!
"Since you know that the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect is an outsider cultivator, do you know his purpose in coming to other cultivation worlds?" Lin Jing shook his head.

Shensong looked up at the sky and said, "Just like Tianyuan Continent is the lower realm of the Immortal Palace, the Heavenly Demon Realm, the stronghold of the Heavenly Demon Sect, is actually the lower realm of a certain demonic sect in the Immortal Realm."

"Countless years ago, a demon lord was born in the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Immortal Realm. His talent and strength were terrifying. With great supernatural powers, he severed the connection between the various forces in the Immortal Realm and the lower realms. He wanted to merge all the lower realms into one great world, take it for himself, and refine it in order to simulate the Heavenly Dao and further break through."

"However, due to the limitations of the existing Heavenly Dao, immortals cannot descend to the mortal realm normally. Therefore, the Demon Lord of the Immortal Realm can only have the Heavenly Demon Sect in the mortal realm conquer and refine one cultivation world after another for him."

"The Heavenly Demon Realm has countless powerful beings... With the help of the interdimensional supernatural powers passed down by the Demon Lord of the Immortal Realm, they can easily travel to other worlds. Their mission is only one: to completely take control of those worlds."

"Then, senior..." Lin Jing looked at Senior Mo Song. If that's the case, then what was Senior Mo Song's mission in coming to the Tianyuan Realm...?

“That’s right, my mission should also be to conquer the Tianyuan Realm, but as you can see, my previous life was killed by the first ancient emperor, so I could only be reincarnated as me,” Shensong said.

Lin Jing: "..."

"According to the remnant soul of that demon race, if the Heavenly Demon Cult cultivators sent by the Heavenly Demon Realm fail to completely control that realm within the stipulated time, the Heavenly Demon Realm will send even stronger Heavenly Demon Cult cultivators to retake that realm!"

"In other words, the moment my past life ended, the mission was almost certainly a failure. The Heavenly Demon Sect probably already knew about it, and it's possible that they will send an even more powerful Heavenly Demon to the Tianyuan Realm soon."

"At that time, the Demon Emperor won't be able to protect you, let alone herself. Your longevity body will definitely be the first resource the Heavenly Demon Sect will collect after invading a realm."

Lin Jing: ? ? ?
"Senior, why do you bring such bad news as soon as you get back?" Lin Jing felt a slight headache coming on; he had just managed to latch onto the Demon Emperor's powerful backer.

"It's a very hopeless future," Senior Shinmatsu said. "For you, it should be the most hopeless."

"Crossing boundaries is not easy and takes time. It could take a thousand years or even ten thousand years. For the current cultivators of Tianyuan Continent, it might be thousands of years before the Demon Realm invades again, and they will have long since died of old age. But for you, you will definitely be able to wait until that day."

Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know that Senior Shen Song must have a solution to tell me all this, right?"

"Hehe," Shensong laughed, "I did indeed get quite a few good things from that remnant soul of the demon race."

It took out a huge golden bell and said:
"This is a supreme treasure of the realm. After its use, a cultivation world will usher in a golden age within the next ten thousand years. The immortal fortune will be prosperous, all kinds of geniuses will emerge, and immortal-level physiques will spring up like mushrooms after rain. However, the price of its use is that after the golden age, the cultivation world will enter the Dharma-ending Age, and even cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage will be extremely difficult. It is a supreme treasure that squeezes out the potential of the world."

"With this item, the strength of the Tianyuan Realm may be greatly enhanced in the near future, so as to resist the invasion of the Tianmo Realm."

"However, activating this thing requires at least 10 experts at the Dao Inquiry stage to activate it simultaneously. Now that you have become the Holy Son of the Demon Court, you can offer this to the Demon Emperor and see if she can gather enough people to quickly strengthen the Tianyuan Realm."

Lin Jing was taken aback, looked at Senior Shen Song, and asked, "Senior, as a cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Realm, why did you choose to stand firmly on the side of the Heavenly Origin Realm and fight against the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Shen Song said, "Hehe, during the process of breaking through to the Void Profound Realm, I saw some memories of my past life. I am not a native of the Heavenly Demon Realm. Rather, I am a genius captured from other cultivation worlds by the Heavenly Demon Realm when they invaded other worlds, and then brainwashed. However, my race is special and I was not completely brainwashed. I have always been outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant about the mission. The Heavenly Demon Sect has occupied my hometown and expects me to work for them. There is no such thing as a free lunch."
