Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 370 Resurrecting the First Ancient Emperor?

Lin Jing nodded and chose to wait. He wasn't afraid of the other party playing tricks; given their strength, they weren't qualified to do so.

Fortunately, the patriarch of the Lü family was a sensible person. He secretly tested the effects of the mutated earth spirit ginseng and discovered that the mortal baby in the body of a pregnant woman from the Lü family who was about to give birth had indeed become an earth spirit. He couldn't help but exclaim how amazing it was.

Although an Earth Spirit Body is nothing special, with average talent and potential, it's not something you can just conjure up whenever you want. Even if two Earth Spirit Bodies combine, they may not necessarily give birth to an offspring with an Earth Spirit Body; the randomness is extremely high.

The Lü family did not primarily cultivate the earth element, making it extremely difficult for them to produce so many earth spirit beings as descendants.

Perhaps his ancestor, the Lu family patriarch, could easily recruit a dozen or so disciples with earth spirit bodies, but those were not people with the Lu family bloodline and were not worth cultivating at all.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the 'Imperial Gift Magic Treasure'."

Lin Jing didn't have to wait long before the Lu family patriarch brought over a black and gold token.

"A formation plate." Lin Jing immediately recognized the true nature of this magical artifact.

"This magic weapon has many pieces. When combined with the array core, it can form a great array to suppress those who seek enlightenment. However, a single piece has no effect. If you want to say something, it is that it is hard enough to be used to smash people. After the founding of the country, it was dispersed by the first ancient emperor and given as tokens to some meritorious families. My Lü family is one of them."

"Indeed, one can sense a true dragon's fortune from it." Lin Jing put away the token, a smile playing on his lips, certain that this token was indeed something crafted by the first ancient emperor and had been carried by him for a long time.

"Well then, fellow Daoist, we shall meet again." Having obtained what he wanted, Lin Jing had no intention of staying here any longer and was eager to try out the Book of Divine Spirits.

As he watched Lin Jing's departing silhouette, the Lu family patriarch looked at the ginseng doll in his hand, and for some reason, his heart suddenly trembled.

It felt extremely hot to the touch.

"This strange... fellow Daoist, why do you insist on obtaining the item bestowed by the late emperor?"

"What exactly is his purpose?"

"Logically speaking, that token is just a useless auxiliary component of the grand formation..."

…………

With the sacrificial offerings secured, the next step for the Forest Realm is to acquire a dragon vein. These things are abundant throughout the ancient kingdom, but each dragon vein is strictly controlled, making them inconvenient to use.

Therefore, Lin Jing flew directly away from the ancient kingdom's territory and arrived at one of his own territories!

This continuous mountain range near Martial Emperor City was originally the territory of a rogue demon ancestor.

This demon ancestor is quite powerful. He can occupy a territory and rule as king in the border area between Martial Emperor City and the Ancient Kingdom. He must have some skills. Several forces with demon emperors in charge have invited this demon ancestor to join them, but he has refused them all.

However, after the resurgence of the demon race and the rise of the demon court, this demon ancestor immediately pledged allegiance to the demon court, waiting for the opportunity to transform into human form to come to him...

Its territory is built on a high-quality spiritual dragon vein!

Lin Jing appeared above the mountain range, emitting a faint aura. He scanned the area with his divine sense, searching for the demon ancestor of the region.

"Where did this wild brat come from, barging into my territory and peeping at me while I'm taking a bath?"

A moment later, Lin Jing sensed it and the demon ancestor burst out in a rage. Space was torn apart, and a monster that looked like a phoenix and was covered with feathers that looked like stone spikes descended.

The Demon Ancestor, the Stone Chicken Lady, was a pheasant who became a spirit. She accidentally swallowed a fragment of a phoenix fossil and cultivated to her current level.

It not only possesses the ability to be reborn like a phoenix, but can also create a rare refining ore called "Phoenix Essence Ore".

It was precisely because of this ability that Lady Stone Chicken and Emperor Wu's City had always lived in peace and maintained a good cooperative relationship.

"Goddess Stone Chicken, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"No, this is not our first meeting. You were secretly watching my battle with Wan Renzong, the successor of Emperor Wu, in Wudi City."

"Your Highness... Your Highness the Holy Son?!" Lady Stone Chicken's eyes widened, and she said, "Your Highness the Holy Son! What brings you here?"

"That time... my true self was still in seclusion cultivating, and I only went to watch the battle with an avatar..."

"It was extremely impolite of me to pay my respects to the Holy Son in an avatar. I intended to wait until my true self emerged from seclusion before visiting him, but who knew that His Highness had left so quickly..."

Lin Jing smiled and said, "It's alright. I'm just passing through this place and want to take advantage of the dragon vein beneath the Stone Chicken Lady's cave. I won't lend it to you for nothing."

He then took out something he didn't need.

"This is a mutated Crimson Fire Gold. If it is refined in spiritual fire, it should be able to develop intelligence after a hundred years, becoming a spirit of metal and stone."

The Stone Chicken Goddess's eyes lit up. Such a wonderful thing?!
Since there are no stone spirits left on the Tianyuan Continent, this mutated Crimson Fire Gold is extremely valuable.

In particular, the stone's properties are especially compatible with those of the Stone Chicken Goddess.

"Thank you, Holy Son. I will do my best to hatch it and raise it as my own offspring!" said the Stone Chicken Goddess.

"It's just a dragon vein, Your Highness, please use it."

"Thank you. Once the advanced Transformation Pill is ready, the Demon Court will make arrangements for Your Highness as soon as possible."

Under the expectant gaze of the Stone Chicken Goddess, Lin Jing walked into the depths of the earth, and at the same time, summoned the treasure tortoise with the divine book to his shoulder.

"With the dragon veins as the array patterns, heaven and earth as the array diagram, you as the array eye, and the imperial treasures as the sacrifice, the conditions for casting the divine array book have been met. Now it's up to you."

Lin Jing spoke to the Longevity Turtle.

"This will also serve as a good opportunity to verify whether the first ancient emperor is still alive!"

He had learned from the Demon Emperor that after the first Ancient Emperor nurtured the second Ancient Emperor, he left the Tianyuan Realm and entered the starry sky to seek an opportunity for ascension, and never returned.

This journey was fraught with peril, and even now, the Demon Emperor has no idea what became of the First Ancient Emperor.

Now, perhaps we can use this top-tier cultivation technique originating from the Immortal Realm to verify whether the First Ancient Emperor was alive or not, the Book of Divine Spirits would not be able to operate smoothly. However, if the First Ancient Emperor was dead, then theoretically, the Book of Divine Spirits could summon his projection!
"His Highness the Holy Son is truly handsome." In the sky outside, the Stone Chicken Lady was incubating Crimson Fire Gold, recalling Lin Jing's dashing figure.

"After I take human form, I might try to pursue His Highness the Holy Son. If I can become His Highness's wife, then I'll have everything I need in this life."

"I just don't know what His Highness the Holy Son is doing with my dragon vein. Is he cultivating?" The Stone Chicken Goddess had been protecting him for several days.

Until one day, it cried out in surprise.

"Damn it, what is the Holy Son doing? My dragon veins have been drained all at once!!! This is the foundation of my cultivation!" It went black before its eyes.

Meanwhile, deep within the leyline cave, Lin Jing and the Longevity Turtle stared at the imperial token turned to dust and the drained dragon vein, their pupils shrinking and their minds reeling.

Lin Jing's mind was in a state of confusion.

"Success?"

"In other words, the first ancient emperor really did die in the starry sky."

"And now, we have summoned his projection again."

"However, even if the first ancient emperor sacrificed a top-grade magic weapon and drained a superior dragon vein, it seems that he still couldn't maintain his projection for long."

Lin Jing watched as the imposing figure slowly emerged before him...
