Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 397 Miscellaneous Service Techniques
"...This grotto-heaven hasn't appeared in a long time, has it?"

"According to records, since the incident in the celestial realm, the celestial palaces of the two realms have ceased communication."

"Yes, we've run into the 'Tianyuan Realm,' which should have been a good opportunity to exchange information. Unfortunately, the Two Realms Cave Heaven has a defeat penalty mechanism, where each person on the losing side will drop a small realm. Otherwise, compared to this opportunity to make contact, the outcome would be irrelevant."

Tianming Realm.

Similarly, five cultivators, three men and two women, appeared.

What's particularly interesting is that the five people were dressed in very uniform clothing, all wearing high-grade magic treasure-level Daoist robes in blue and white, embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars.

As they saw each other, they also heard the sounds of the celestial palace.

[Rules of the Two Realms Cave Heaven Battle: There will be five battles in total. Each realm must send one person to fight in each battle, and no two people may fight the same battle twice.]

[In each match, the winner will receive points. The first three matches award two points each, the fourth three points, and the fifth four points. After five matches, the team with the highest total points is the final winner.]

Each of the five cultivators on the winning side will be able to choose one 'Divine Body Pill' as a reward from the Immortal Palace's treasury. The better their performance, the wider their selection of Divine Body Pills, and the higher the quality they can choose.

[The Divine Body Pill is refined by the alchemists of the Celestial Palace using the original bloodlines of various races. After consumption, it can grant the user an 'acquired divine body' that does not conflict with their existing physique.]

[The five cultivators on the losing side each dropped one minor cultivation realm.]

[The first match will begin in three minutes!]

"Points system!"

Although both sides are eager to exchange ideas, they must prioritize the battle for the grotto-heavens.

The points system means that the geniuses of both realms cannot easily achieve victory by relying on a single powerful genius.

Everyone must demonstrate their value.

"Two, two, two, three, four, a total of thirteen points. Only by scoring seven or more points can we win."

"The three and four battlefields are the most important. Who will be in the third and who will be in the fourth?"

On the Tianyuan Realm side, Bai Yuran spoke up: "Holy Son, Sword Immortal Lingyue, and His Highness the Third Prince, it's great to have you all here. As you know, I'm not good at fighting, so I'll go to the two battlefields. I'll leave the more important battlefield to you!"

"I've only just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. As for rewards, I really don't want to fall back down..."

"Hey, hey, hey." Seeing that Bai Yuran was ignoring him, alchemist Du Zao couldn't help but make his presence known.

"There shouldn't be any need to worry about this. Let him go to the fourth battlefield, which is the last one. He should be able to help Tianyuan Realm win four points." Lingyue Sword Immortal looked at Lin Jing, and no one on the scene objected to her statement.

Bai Yuran looked at Lin Jing and pursed her lips. Lin Jing had promised to team up with her before leaving Tianji City, but by the time she came out of seclusion, Lin Jing had already become the Holy Son of the Demon Court. The two were now separated as humans and demons. However, no one in the Tianyuan Continent should doubt Lin Jing's strength.

Although he appears to be only at the early Nascent Soul stage, Lin Jing, who possesses the Heavenly Demon Body and the Dao of Control, displays a strength that would frighten even the Nascent Soul prodigies of the Tianyuan Continent.

Regarding whether Lin Jing could win the four battlegrounds, the Third Prince and Du Zao also believed that if Lin Jing couldn't do it, then none of the others could either.

"Let Brother Lin take the place of the fourth contestant. What do you think, Brother Lin? Or should we adopt some tactics and give up the fourth place? After all, we don't know the strength of the Heavenly Cry Realm yet."

The Third Prince pondered for a moment, then said, "Their attire is that of disciples of the ancient Immortal Palace. This means that after the lower realm lost contact with the immortal realm, the Tianming Realm remained under the rule of the lower realm's immortal palace. The immortal palace there was not overthrown, and all sorts of immortal secret techniques and immortal inheritances must be well preserved. I estimate... they won't be easy to deal with." "I'm fine with anything. If I go and snatch four points, there shouldn't be a situation where you all lose before I even get a chance to play, right?" Lin Jing asked hesitantly.

I wonder if it would be possible to have a pet beast replace the alchemist from the Tower of Babel...

The reward of an acquired divine body is already quite good. Although Lin Jing doesn't lack a divine body right now, who would complain about having too much of this?

Of course, most importantly, Lin Jing didn't want to fall below a minor cultivation level.

"No." Lingyue Sword Immortal glanced at Lin Jing and said, "Don't you trust me? You go and grab four points, and I'll grab three points. With the seven points from both of us, we can secure this opportunity in the Cave Heaven."

"It doesn't matter if the three of them lose."

"...That being said, His Highness the Third Prince should still be quite strong, right?" Bai Yuran smiled awkwardly.

The third prince of the ancient kingdom, although he did not have the talent and potential of the crown prince who was famous throughout the continent, was still one of the more outstanding offspring after the second emperor decided to have offspring.

Furthermore, the ancient emperor was generous in providing resources to the ancient race...

"I will win too," the Third Prince said calmly.

"Can you please stop ignoring me all the time... Even though I'm an alchemist, I'm not weak, okay? I'm ranked nineteenth on the Golden List!" Du Zao was speechless.

He was the ultimate winner of a certain alchemy competition, and because of his outstanding alchemy skills, he was accepted as a disciple by the tower master... But in terms of normal combat, the crowd clearly did not trust him.

"I'll trust you this once." Lin Jing looked at Bai Yuran and said, "It's been a long time. Do you think this arrangement is feasible? Can you predict the final outcome?"

Bai Yuran smiled wryly: "Don't make things difficult for me. My abilities will be greatly affected inside the cave, but I think it should be fine."

"Leave the first battle to me. I can't guarantee victory, but I'll definitely gather as much intelligence as possible for you."

The group looked at each other, then nodded.

"Please, Master Bai." The Third Prince smiled slightly, already realizing that the junior sister of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion might be about to use that secret technique.

…………

Before long, the three minutes were up.

On the Tianyuan Realm side, Bai Yuran, the junior sister of Tianji Tower, makes her appearance. She has the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage. On the Tianming Realm side, she is also a female cultivator with a cute and pure appearance and the cultivation level of the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

"Hello, fellow Daoist from the Tianyuan Realm." The female cultivator from Tianming greeted her with a smile, "May I ask your name? I am Yue'e, a cultivator from the Immortal Palace of the Tianming Realm."

"Bai Yuran, a cultivator from the Tianji Tower of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom." The junior sister of the Tianji Tower smiled slightly. After she finished speaking, a faint doubt arose in the heart of Tianming Realm.

Has the Celestial Palace in the Tianyuan Realm encountered an accident and lost its ruling power? It has even allowed cultivators to form a power structure in the form of a nation...

"Among the five opponents, it seems that only one person cultivates the Immortal Palace's techniques. That young man in the green robe should have cultivated the Immortal Palace's Beast Taming Technique. The others should not be practicing Immortal Palace techniques." One of the other four people from Tianming Realm spoke up, a gentle and refined young man.

"Beast Taming Technique? The cultivation method practiced by the handymen disciples who raise spirit beasts?" a short boy muttered.
