Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 409 It's Never Too Late
Upon hearing the ancient prince refer to the first ancient emperor as "some kind of monster," Lin Jing knew that this kid had chosen the wrong path.

If conditions allowed, Lin Jing would really like to teach him a folk song from his hometown.

What's your dad's name?
"Hehe." On the day that the ancient prince knelt down and called him grandfather, Lin Jing looked at him indifferently and said, "Just say what you want to say."

"My third brother described to me your battle with the cultivators from the Heavenly Cry Realm. Your final battle with that Divine Compassionate Body female cultivator was probably not as simple as they saw it, where she simply surrendered." The ancient prince's gaze was intense.

"This final battle is the last chance for the Tianyuan Realm to obtain information about the Tianming Realm. I think you won't miss it."

"Back then, in order to conceal your immortal body, you learned powerful illusion techniques from the Qi Refining stage, right? Outside the Hidden Dragon Academy, in your battle with Fang Shilin of Changchun Valley, you demonstrated remarkable skill in illusion techniques... If I'm not mistaken, you obtained the information you wanted using illusion techniques and other means before Tianming cultivators conceded defeat."

Lin Jing was slightly surprised. This ancient prince not only had extraordinary talent and potential, but he was also quite intelligent...

There's nothing to deny.

"So what if I do?" Lin Jing said. "You want information about the Tianming Realm, don't you? Fine, just offer enough sincerity in exchange."

Originally, Lin Jing planned to report the information about the Pangu Continent to the Demon Emperor and then have the Tianyuan Daoists discuss whether to contact the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. Since the Ancient Prince is so eager to obtain this information, Lin Jing doesn't mind making things difficult for him.

"Go ahead." The ancient prince's eyes flashed, already prepared for Lin Jing to make an exorbitant demand. Information about Tianming Realm and other cultivation worlds was indeed very important to him.

“Then I’ll open it… Before I embarked on the path of cultivation, I mistakenly entered a demonic cultivator’s stronghold called the Green Ox Taoist Temple. The Green Ox Taoist there sold me to the Yin Corpse Sect and then disappeared without a trace. Help me capture this Green Ox Taoist and bring him to me alive. If he’s dead, find a way to revive him and hand him over to me for disposal.”

Lin Jing suddenly remembered that he still had a grudge to settle, and casually mentioned it.

Ancient Prince: ?

"The Green Ox Taoist?" The ancient prince never expected that Lin Jing's condition would be this. This was all from many years ago, and even the Yin Corpse Sect had been destroyed. Yet Lin Jing still remembered such a nobody.

“Alright…” The ancient prince’s lips twitched. This matter was simple in some ways and difficult in others. Qingniu Daoist was at most a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, and he was most likely already dead. Lin Jing’s demand to see him alive or dead was quite demanding.

"Finding this person within a year shouldn't be a problem, right?" Lin Jing said. "I don't need your promise. If I can't do it by then, I'll challenge your number one spot on the Golden List."

After saying this, Lin Jing and the ancient prince looked at each other, and in the next instant, the ancient prince was pulled into the illusionary space by Lin Jing.

From a first-person perspective, I arrived at the scene of the battle for the cave heavens and saw Tian Lian standing in front of Lin Jing.

The words Tian Lian had said to Lin Jing were now being repeated in front of the ancient prince...

The war between the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Heavenly Cry Realm, the Pangu Continent, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, the Origin Realm... all sorts of information made the ancient prince take a deep breath, knowing that this trip had not been in vain!
"My grandfather... went to the stars to find the path to ascension and has not returned. Could it be that he also joined the Immortal Cultivation Alliance?"

"Regardless, through this cultivation alliance, perhaps we can find traces of my grandfather in the starry sky," the ancient prince thought to himself.

Having obtained all the information, he nodded to Lin Jing and said, "I will do what I promised you immediately."

"Okay." Lin Jing yawned, already impatiently waiting for the ancient prince to bring that stinky old man to him.

…………

"Have we forgotten something?"

After the ancient prince left, Lin Jing gazed at his own shortcut leading deep into the Lingdao Sect's mountain gate and fell into deep thought.

Reminded by Lin Jing, the pets in the Beast Taming Space suddenly remembered something. Indeed, it seemed like something was missing.

The mechanical turtle that failed to enter the cave didn't seem to be there when it came out.

Lin Jing was busy checking the spoils of war at the time and didn't really care where this guy was...

"It seems it couldn't stand the loneliness after we separated and ran away immediately. Oh well, never mind it." Although it was really bad of him to forget about the mechanical turtle, this guy couldn't even wait a little while before running off to play. It was quite a bad habit. Lin Jing had a headache.

Indeed, strength always comes with some flaws.

Lin Jing sighed, unaware that the mechanical turtle had already entered the ancient kingdom's territory.

"Where exactly is the immortal being that the first old man spoke of...where exactly is it..."

As the mechanical tortoise traveled, it explored the magnificent landscapes of the ancient kingdom while searching for traces of the immortal being mentioned by the first ancient emperor.

Although the immortal being was in an unawakened state, the mechanical turtle believed that with its abilities, it could definitely find it.

But if you ask it why it is so determined to find this immortal being, the mechanical turtle itself doesn't know; it's simply an obsession with finding immortal beings, as defined in the lore.

…………

"You... how come you're back so quickly? And just now, was that the ancient prince?"

When Lin Jing returned to the Enlightenment Pool, the Enlightenment Fish reluctantly asked him a question.

"Yes, senior, don't worry about it. We need to continue our cultivation." Lin Jing's figure split in two again, causing the Enlightened Fish to roll its eyes.

Good heavens, you weren't satisfied with cultivating alone, you even brought an avatar this time!!!

"Please sleep, senior!" Lin Jing clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Enlightened Fish. The fish immediately looked as if it had died a hundred times, pulling its head back out of the water. With no will to live, it turned into a stone and sank to the bottom of the pool. While sleeping, it activated its supernatural powers and began to transform the divine power of the pool water.

Seeing that the water quality of the Enlightenment Pool had changed, Lin Jing nodded and looked at his avatar, the Heavenly Demon Avatar who was only at the Golden Core stage. The avatar immediately entered the Enlightenment Pool and took the Divine Body Pill that Lin Jing threw to him.

The Divine Body Pill is a seventh-grade pill, theoretically corresponding to the Dao Inquiry Realm. However, Long Li has investigated and found that the Divine Body Pill is extremely special. Even mortals can take it without any problems, as long as their own physique does not restrain or conflict with the physique that the Divine Body Pill will bestow.

"I have too many special physiques, and I am no longer suitable to cultivate a new one. Otherwise, I will inevitably suffer from qi deviation. Each physique does not have enough room for divine power to survive."

"As for avatars, we currently only have two major physiques. Let's give it a try."

The current incarnation possesses two major physiques: the innate Immaculate Divine Body and the acquired Heavenly Demon Body. The Immaculate Divine Body originated from the quasi-immortal object, the Immortal Water Lotus, which shaped the incarnation. The Heavenly Demon Body is inherited from the original body's understanding of the Heavenly Demon Body Secret Technique. It is equivalent to the incarnation rebuilding a Heavenly Demon Body through the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique.

The things that the true self knows are obviously not so difficult to cultivate when the incarnation learns them.

Unfortunately, the avatar cannot inherit the original's innate qualities, such as the innate constitution of longevity.

However, as long as the bloodline, physique, and magic are acquired later in life, it is very easy for the avatar to master them.

Currently, there is no conflict between the Heavenly Demon Body and the Immaculate Body. Lin Jing believes that his avatar can probably adapt to this unknown demon bloodline as well!
