Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 393 Ancient Teleportation Array
"Forest Realm".

Qingzhou, Xianlao Mountain.

Lin Jing was waiting for the mechanical tortoise to return when he suddenly heard the Demon Emperor's call.

"His Majesty……"

"Is something the matter?" he asked, tilting his head.

"What do you think?" the Demon Emperor said irritably.

"Your deeds have all been reported to me."

"The second-generation ancient emperor wants to change the rules of the Golden Ranking..."

"Damn it, this old bastard..." Lin Jing's eyes widened. How could he just change things like that? He had to report this to the First Ancient Emperor...

"Of course, let him change it. My Demon Court certainly can't suffer a loss." The Demon Emperor said, "Haven't you always been worried that pet beasts and beast tamers can't be considered as one individual to enter the Origin Realm?"

"The second-generation ancient emperor plans to take you to the unactivated 'Origin Realm Teleportation Ancient Array' first to see if you count as one spot or multiple spots. This is good, as it will allow for subsequent changes to the rankings."

"Oh?" Lin Jing looked at the tiger tooth in his hand and nodded, "Not bad."

Lin Jing couldn't be completely at ease until this issue was clarified.

…………

Before long, Lin Jing and his group were teleported into space by the Demon Emperor using his great supernatural powers. Even the mechanical turtle, which had just found an opportunity to enter Water Moon Immortal Island and was preparing to kidnap the other party's senior sister, was also caught off guard and was swept into a spatial vortex.

When Lin Jing and the others opened their eyes again, they had arrived at the ruins of a celestial palace. In this ruin, ten towering pillars with pearls inlaid at their tops firmly surrounded a ten-pointed star array.

The Demon Emperor and the Second Generation Ancient Emperor each stood atop a giant pillar, looking down at Lin Jing and the others who had been teleported there.

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, Your Majesty the Ancient Emperor." Lin Jing bowed slightly, and the Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, Ice Soul Gu, and Mechanical Turtle beside him also pretended to bow.

"You are Lin Jing." The second-generation ancient emperor scrutinized Lin Jing.

"Alright, hurry up and try it on him," the Demon Emperor urged.

The second-generation ancient emperor withdrew his gaze and gestured for Lin Jing and several pet beasts to enter the formation.

Lin Jing looked at the ancient teleportation array of the Origin Realm, and stepped into it with a light step. The next moment, one of the pearls on the ten giant pillars lit up.

"Ten Immortal Light Pearls represent ten slots that the Tianyuan Realm can use to enter the Origin Realm. When the Origin Realm was first formed, the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm limited the number of slots each lower realm could use to ensure the stability of the Origin Realm. The cultivation worlds under the jurisdiction of slightly weaker Immortal Realm forces might only have two or three slots, while the cultivation worlds under the jurisdiction of relatively powerful Immortal Realm forces might have more than a dozen slots."

"The Immortal Palace, which once ruled the Tianyuan Realm, was not a hegemonic force in the Immortal Realm, but it was still a first-class force. Therefore, it had as many as ten slots for entering the Origin Realm."

After Lin Jing ascended, the leaf rat quietly teleported onto Lin Jing's shoulder.

In that instant, everyone looked at the Immortal Light Pearl and found that only one was lit up, and Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Rat were not counted as separate individuals!
"As expected!" The second-generation ancient emperor breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and the demon emperor also breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, the Dragon Carp and Ice Soul Gu also climbed onto the formation one after another. The Immortal Light Pearl still did not light up a new one, indicating that the Dragon Carp and Ice Soul Gu, like the Pine Leaf Rat, were considered part of the Forest Realm!
Until... the mechanical turtle happily climbed onto the formation, but the next moment, a beam of light shot out from the formation, sending the mechanical turtle flying far away.

Lin Jing and the others looked at the mechanical turtle: "..."

"Huh?" The mechanical turtle rolled over and stood up, looking at the Origin Realm Teleportation Array with dissatisfaction.

The second-generation ancient emperor spoke up: "It seems that the rules of the Origin Realm established by the Immortal Realm also recognize that cultivators who have mastered the 'Beast Taming Technique' and their pets are one. However, your mechanical spirit, which was successfully contracted from the 'Void Profound Cultivation' to the 'Transformation God Cultivation', was still exposed by the rules of the Origin Realm."

“Within the Origin Realm, only beings at the Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation stages are allowed to enter. Even if its cultivation is sealed by you, and sealed perfectly enough to evade the restrictions of the cultivation technique, it still cannot evade the rules of the Origin Realm.”

"What a pity." Lin Jing looked at the mechanical turtle. Indeed, the mechanical turtle's spirit was essentially at the Void Profound level, which did not meet the rules for entering the Origin Realm.

So, in that case, only he, the Pine Leaf Rat, the Dragon Carp, and the Ice Soul Gu can enter the Origin Realm together, while the Mechanical Turtle will have to stay in Tianyuan.

In this way... his combat strength will undoubtedly be reduced by several percent.

All the quasi-immortal level magic treasures, except for the bell given by the Demon Emperor which can be barely activated by the power of the Golden Light Gu in conjunction with the special secret technique of the Divine Tiger Clan, are unusable.

"If the little turtle can't come in, then it can't come in. It will accompany me to protect the Demon Court." The Demon Emperor smiled. Lin Jing and the other pets could be considered as one, which was already a good result.

As for this little turtle that can activate a celestial artifact at full power, the Demon Emperor is reluctant to let it go.

"What about guarding the demon court? I want to travel." The mechanical turtle muttered. It didn't care about going to the Origin Realm if it couldn't go. It would be perfect to travel around the Tianyuan Realm... Without the restrictions of the Forest Realm, it couldn't imagine how free it would be.

"Lord of the Demon Court, Holy Son of the Demon Court," the second-generation ancient emperor suddenly spoke.

"Since beast tamers and their pets can be considered as one entity, I would like to change the rules of the Golden Ranking to one where beast tamers and their pets share the same ranking and are considered as one entity, and will no longer be listed separately... At the same time, pets can also enjoy the same luck bonus as beast tamers in the ranking."

"Look, are you satisfied? In this way, the Demon Court not only suffers no losses, but the pets can also enjoy the highest ranking bonus of the Beastmaster, which is even more beneficial."

"You can do it?" The Demon Court Lord's eyes lit up.

“If we can maintain our sixth position on the Golden List, it will be barely acceptable.” The Second Generation Ancient Emperor said, “The current operating mechanism of the Golden List of Fortune is to make the most of the world fortune that the Tianyuan Realm can currently mobilize. However, the most does not mean anything. I can overload the world fortune to strengthen the Golden List. The price is only that the duration of the Golden Age will be shortened by a few decades or a hundred years.”

"Alright, let's do it that way. I'm not unaware of your predicament." Yao Ting waved his hand magnanimously.

At the same time, he looked at Lin Jing and asked, "What do you think of this change?"

"The main point is that to open the Origin Realm teleportation array, it requires the combined efforts of many Dao Seeking levels. If the Ancient Kingdom and the Demon Court alone occupy all ten spots, no benefit will be given to other Dao Seeking forces. These Dao Seeking... may not be willing to contribute and help the Ancient Kingdom and the Demon Court cultivate their talents! Even if you reach the top ten on the Golden Ranking, you will not be able to enter the Origin Realm."

"This is what the second-generation ancient emperor should be worried about."

Lin Jing nodded and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "I will leave it all to His Majesty the Demon Emperor."

He doesn't really care, as long as he doesn't suffer any losses.
