Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 430 Robbery
Lin Jing frowned.

They suspected that during the teleportation process, Gu Xinghe and Gu Youran, the brother and sister, might have had their luck stolen, which is why they ended up in this place.

"Yinsi Mountain... Could this mountain god have reached the Void Profound or Dao Inquiry realms?" he asked.

If that's the case, then it's indeed very difficult to get out of this situation.

"Not so," the disheveled youth said. "It's only equivalent to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but..."

"However, the mountains and rivers of the Origin Realm are quite special. They gather the power of heaven and earth and have a lifespan of almost infinite. Not only can they perfectly mobilize the power of heaven and earth of the Origin Realm, but they have also stayed in this realm for tens of thousands of years. Although their realm is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, in terms of strength... even a Nascent Soul cultivator with an 'immortal body' can't do anything to them."

“Some native spirits and monsters that are not afraid of the rules of the Heavenly Dao of the Origin Realm will even compete with cultivators from outside the realm for immortal sources... This mountain god is already considered relatively reasonable.”

Lin Jing understood; it seemed the information obtained from the Heavenly Cry Realm was incomplete.

Aside from the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, without the supervision of powerful beings from the Immortal Realm, even the native spirits of the Origin Realm have joined the struggle for Immortal Origin.

Although these spirits seem to be restricted by the rules of Heaven and cannot break through to the Void Profound Realm, as native life forms of the Origin Realm, this place is undoubtedly their home ground!

"So, fellow Daoist, did you also flee into this Yinsi Mountain because you were being chased?" Lin Jing asked.

The young man with disheveled hair said, "That's right. Currently, besides you and me, there are three other people in this Yinsi Mountain... We all had to flee into this Yinsi Mountain to seek the protection of the mountain god because we offended a powerful enemy."

"However, as I just said, it's easy to get in but hard to get out. Only if I hand over enough resources will it let me leave the mountain. Otherwise, I can only break through to the Void Profound Realm here and leave the Origin Realm directly."

"I don't want to leave the Origin Realm yet, but I don't have enough resources to offer as a sacrifice to the Mountain God. So for now, I can only keep using my magic power to condense pieces of top-grade spirit stones, accumulate resources, and exchange them for a chance to leave this place."

"It's just that I don't know how long it will take to accumulate resources... Besides that, there is another way, which is to seize the resources of the cultivators who have also entered Yinsi Mountain, combine them, and offer them to the mountain god." He chuckled: "The mountain god only protects the people inside the mountain from being harmed by people outside the mountain, but if the people inside the mountain harm each other, the mountain god will not interfere."

"The reason why people outside the mountains are unwilling to enter the mountains is that it is easy to enter but difficult to leave, and the price to pay exceeds the gains from killing the enemy."

"So, fellow Daoist, after telling you so much, shouldn't you also show some appreciation? You've just entered the Origin Realm, and you must have brought a lot of resources from the outside world with you. Hand them over. You're only at the half-step Nascent Soul Realm. Even if you're a genius from some realm, you definitely wouldn't last a single move against me. We have no grudges against each other, and I won't take your life. Hand over the resources, and I'll find you a treasure land in the mountains. You can cultivate here properly and strive to leave as soon as possible... It's good for both of us."

As soon as the cultivator surnamed Fang finished speaking, he appeared in front of Lin Jing in an instant, calmly looking at Lin Jing. The power of the Nascent Soul stage was fully revealed, and huge vortexes appeared in the clouds in the sky as a result.

Lin Jing stood atop the mountain, calmly observing the other party. He was not surprised, having long suspected that this person harbored ill intentions towards him.

"You've got the wrong person, but considering the information you provided, I'll give you three breaths to disappear from my divine sense range, and I won't hold it against you," Lin Jing said calmly.

"How dare you—" The cultivator surnamed Fang narrowed his eyes.

To put it nicely, he's a half-step into the Divine Transformation stage; to put it bluntly, he's just a Nascent Soul child.

They actually dared to defy me, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator? Did they really take the title "fellow Daoist" to heart?

boom!
Without further ado, he stretched out his hand and used his magical power to condense a great handprint of true essence.

He didn't even bother using spells to deal with a cultivator who was a whole realm lower than him.

However, although it is the most basic attack, it is still quite powerful in the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The sky-covering hand seal appeared with his movements, and the landing of his palm seemed to cause the sky to collapse.

"You dare to plunder with only this level of skill?" "In terms of the quality of your true essence, you wouldn't even make it into the top ten among the Nascent Soul geniuses of my realm."

Lin Jing simply raised his arm slowly, using his fingers as a sword. At the same time that Lin Jing's power fluctuations reached the Nascent Soul stage, a sword aura instantly pierced through the large handprint, severing the five fingers. The spiritual energy fluctuations swept across the world.

This was naturally not because Lin Jing used his Heavenly Demon Body. It wasn't worth wasting his lifespan dealing with a cultivator who could be hunted down and hide here. Lin Jing obtained the temporary power boost by fusing with the Ice Soul Gu.

"A sword cultivator? The power of the sword intent contained in the sword energy is comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!" Upon seeing that Lin Jing had a secret method to improve his cultivation level and was even attacking powerful sword cultivator prodigies, the cultivator surnamed Fang was momentarily surprised, but still did not take it seriously.

If we can't easily take down Lin Jing, then expending a little more effort won't hurt.

"Wind God Bow, appear!"

He took out a top-grade spirit bow shrouded in storm from his storage bag. However, before he could even fire the first arrow, the cultivator surnamed Fang's expression changed drastically. He discovered that he suddenly could not control his magic power, and countless poisonous insects seemed to appear out of thin air in his meridians.

"Poison! When?!"

He suddenly looked at Lin Jing, who had lowered his arms, sat cross-legged in the sky, and was quietly watching him.

The next instant, Lin Jing intensified the power of the poisonous Gu. The cultivator surnamed Fang quickly began to writhe all over. He kept taking out antidote pills and stuffing them into his mouth. Despite his meridians bursting, he forcibly activated his magic power to suppress the poison. However, he had never seen such a potent spell in his life. No matter how much he struggled, he could not suppress the poison. Instead, it stimulated its activity.

He cried out in agony, horrified to discover that the poison was also devouring his life force; in a short moment, he had lost ten years of his lifespan.

"Spare me, Grandpa, spare me!"

Upon realizing he was completely unable to cure the poison, he immediately gave in, but Lin Jing remained unmoved. A moment later, the sweating youth gritted his teeth, took out all the resources he had, and threw them to Lin Jing, saying, "I admit defeat, I admit defeat. I was originally going to offer them as tribute to the Mountain God, but now they're all yours!"

He was internally devastated. What the hell? How could a Nascent Soul cultivator who had just entered the Origin Realm be so terrifying? Was he a sword cultivator or a poison cultivator?

Not only did it possess sword intent comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but its poisoning methods and the intensity of its poison techniques were so great that even he, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, was powerless to deal with it!

"I have planted a Gu poison in your body. Don't have any ulterior motives, otherwise even if you break through to the Void Profound Realm and escape back to your cultivation world, the Gu poison will still take effect, and no one will be able to save you. Now, answer my question." Lin Jing looked at the disheveled youth rolling and struggling on the ground and shook his head.

Although this person's cultivation level is high, his strength is probably only ranked in the twentieth or thirtieth place on the Heavenly Origin Realm's Fortune Ranking. It seems that he comes from a cultivation world whose overall strength is far inferior to that of Heavenly Origin.

"Who has chased you here?"

"It's the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. It's a cultivator from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. A few years ago, a cluster of immortal energy was born somewhere in the Origin Realm. Countless geniuses rushed to compete for it. I knew I had no chance, so I took advantage of this opportunity to secretly sneak into the Immortal Cultivation Alliance's headquarters, Immortal City, hoping to steal something. Who knew that there were still powerful geniuses guarding Immortal City at this time... So I was chased all the way here."

Lin Jing remained silent. This guy... which cultivation world's prodigy is he? What a coward.

"The other three..." Lin Jing continued to ask.

“The other three are about as strong as me, and none of us can do anything to the others. They cultivate in other parts of the mountain. Yinsi Mountain is very large, and we usually do not interfere with each other… It seems that these three were chased in by the Tianmo Sect cultivators.”

"Hmm." After asking the question, Lin Jing inquired about the most crucial one.

Tell me information about the most powerful cultivators in this Origin Realm.
