Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 371 Things must turn against each other when they reach their extremes
The person before me was dressed in a magnificent black robe, with a dignified expression. As his figure slowly came to a complete shape, he opened his eyes, which were filled with doubt.

"Didn't I already..."

He looked ahead and saw Lin Jing, dressed in a green robe, standing opposite him with an ugly tortoise on his head, looking at him with a surprised expression.

"Did you summon me in this form?" the man in black robes asked.

"That's right..."

"Junior greets His Majesty the Ancient Emperor." Lin Jing clasped his hands slightly and said, "Indeed, it was junior who presumptuously summoned senior's projection."

"Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."

"So that's how it is. This is the legendary array formation technique 'Divine Book' from the Immortal Palace. No wonder my power is almost completely gone, only at the level of the Nascent Soul stage... Moreover, the power is dissipating extremely quickly. I'm afraid it won't be long before I dissipate again."

The first ancient emperor was filled with emotion, saying, "I never thought that after being dead for so many years, I would still have the opportunity to return to the Tianyuan Realm in this manner..."

Lin Jingcai was filled with emotion. He had thought that a supreme powerhouse like the First Ancient Emperor would be able to thrive in the starry sky and even find the path to ascension. But it seemed that the First Ancient Emperor had died in the starry sky!
Ascension... is truly incredibly difficult.

"I have heard that Your Majesty went to the starry sky in search of the path to ascension. Now, thousands of years have passed. Out of curiosity about Your Majesty's situation, I offended you by using the Book of Gods. I wonder what caused Your Majesty's death... Is there any hope of ascension in the starry sky?"

The first ancient emperor looked at Lin Jing, shook his head, and said, "I don't know..."

"I originally wanted to go to a place called 'Meteor Sea', but before I reached my destination, I was killed by a meteorite that flew by, and my body and soul disappeared."

Lin Jing: ?
"Huh?" Lin Jing was taken aback. The legendary first emperor, renowned throughout the Tianyuan Realm, who ended an era of the Immortal Alliance's rule, didn't die during his ascension, nor was he killed by a stronger being from another world, but rather...

He was accidentally killed by a stray meteorite? Wasn't that a rather abrupt way to die?

The first ancient emperor smiled and said, "I know this is hard to say, but it is the truth. In the Tianyuan Realm, I was favored by the world's fortune and my fortune was against the heavens. I cultivated the Dao of Fortune to its extreme. But when I came to the starry sky, it was like the reversal of things when they reach their extreme. For some reason, my fortune seemed to be cursed. It may even be worse than that of ordinary people, which made my journey very dangerous."

Lin Jing was slightly taken aback.

"Your summoning me back to the mortal world may also be a sign of fate. The wonders of the True Dragon Secret Technique that I created seem to only work within the Tianyuan Realm. Outside the Tianyuan Realm, the power of the True Dragon Secret Technique is greatly reduced. I see that you should also be practicing the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique. Are you a student of the Hidden Dragon Academy?"

"Just like this Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, once it leaves the Tianyuan Realm, it will become ineffective. Even if its reputation spreads throughout the myriad realms, it will still be unable to gather the power of fortune."

"Could you please allow me to meet the second-generation Ancient Emperor and pass on the improved 'True Dragon Secret Technique' to the Ancient Clan? Although it may not be able to make the 'True Dragon Secret Technique' have the same effect outside the Tianyuan Realm, at least it won't be like what happened to me back then, who was plagued by misfortune and bad luck not long after leaving the Tianyuan Realm, and was killed by a meteorite for no reason."

"There are actually such restrictions..." Lin Jing said in surprise, "This junior is a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect in the Desolate Region of the Ancient Kingdom, a student of the Hidden Dragon Academy, and also serves as a Demon Extermination Guard of the Demon Extermination Division."

"I can naturally grant His Majesty the Ancient Emperor's request."

"Given the current situation of the ancient race, this intelligence is indeed very important."

"You are a promising young man. I never expected that such a person could be born in an ancient country. Don't worry, although this body cannot exert any power, all the cultivation techniques, secret methods, and spells I have learned seem to still be in my memory. If you don't mind, I can guide you in your cultivation for a period of time."

The Book of Divine Powers has been lost. The first ancient emperor predicted that Lin Jing could only obtain it from a 'Cave Heaven'. If he could obtain a cultivation technique of this level from a Cave Heaven, Lin Jing's talent and potential would probably be unparalleled in this world! He was very willing to teach such a prodigy to enhance the strength of the ancient kingdom!
"However, what do you mean by the current situation of the ancient kingdom?" The first ancient emperor looked at Lin Jing with a puzzled expression.

"Ten years later, the ancient kingdom plans to send a group of geniuses to the 'Origin Realm'. If the True Dragon Secret Technique is restricted outside the Tianyuan Realm, then the geniuses of the ancient clan may be in danger when they arrive at the Origin Realm."

"The Origin Realm..." The First Ancient Emperor seemed to be deep in thought.

"During the time I was away, did any other major events occur in the Tianyuan Realm?"

Lin Jing nodded and said, "Speaking of major events, most of them have happened in recent decades. First of all, a holy son with unparalleled talent appeared in the Qingzhou Demon Court. He developed the method of demon transformation, allowing the demon race to return to the world."

The first ancient emperor nodded in agreement; it was indeed a significant matter.

"Secondly, this Holy Son of the Demon Court discovered a major piece of intelligence that could threaten the Tianyuan Realm. The Tianyuan Realm had no choice but to enter a state of war preparedness, and various forces united, including sending a group of geniuses to the Origin Realm, all of which were part of resisting future crises!"

Before the first ancient emperor could ask what it was about, Lin Jing told him about the origins of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Upon hearing this, the First Ancient Emperor's expression turned extremely solemn. He said, "I now know that the Heavenly Demon Sect has an extraordinary origin. It turns out that it was guided by the Demon Sect of the Immortal Realm, intending to devour one lower realm after another."

"The process of destroying the Heavenly Demon Sect was fraught with difficulties. Even at the very end, I couldn't be certain whether the sect leader had been completely eliminated..."

Lin Jing remained silent. "No, its reincarnation was even my protector..."

"Looking at it this way, leaving Tianyuan Realm back then was indeed an irresponsible act." The first ancient emperor sighed and said, "If I were still here, the situation in Tianyuan Realm might not be so dire now."

"Young brother, in that case, I must ask you to take me back to the ancient clan."

He looked at Lin Jing sincerely and said, "As a reward, I will grant you whatever you ask for!"

"Whether you establish the Beast Taming Sect as the state religion of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, or you wish to marry an ancient clan princess and cultivate the True Dragon Secret Technique, I will grant your request!"

Lin Jing was deeply moved, but he said, "Your Majesty, that won't be necessary. I have already led the Beast Taming Sect to join the Demon Court and no longer live in the Ancient Kingdom. Moreover, I think the Beast Taming Technique I am currently cultivating is quite good, and I don't want to switch to the True Dragon Secret Technique..."

"I will help His Majesty fulfill his wish, but it will be a one-off transaction; we'll exchange favors on an equal footing."

After he finished speaking, the first ancient emperor was stunned.

What the hell.

"Please allow me to introduce myself again. Apart from my old identities, I am now the Holy Son of the Qingzhou Demon Court and am no longer a cultivator from an ancient kingdom."

"The main reason is that the younger generation is an immortal being, which is not easy to cultivate. Only the Demon Court is willing to do everything in its power to protect the younger generation, so this is a choice we have to make."
