Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 431 The Four Heavenly Kings
"Yes, yes, yes." The cultivator surnamed Fang wept inwardly, realizing that this guy came from the cultivation world, which, like his hometown, was not a member of the cultivation alliance.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so ignorant about the information in the Source Realm.

However, he was certain that Lin Jing came from the cultivation world, which must have a very strong foundation, and was probably a lower realm of the "Immortal King's power".

Immortals in the celestial realm are divided into four realms: True Immortal, Immortal Lord, Immortal King, and Immortal Emperor. The cultivation world under the jurisdiction of a force with an Immortal King is bound to have a greater overall foundation than the cultivation world under the jurisdiction of a force with only an Immortal Lord.

"Currently, the four most powerful people in the Origin Realm are..."

"They were known by other cultivators as the Four Heavenly Kings of the Origin Realm."

"They are Li Tianyi, a prodigy in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, who possesses the Chaos Immortal Body."

Chaotic entity!
Lin Jing was slightly taken aback. The Chaos Immortal Body was an even more terrifying physique than the Creation Immortal Body. This physique was perfectly suited to any cultivation technique. There were no techniques or spells that could not be cultivated, and even alien spells could be perfectly cultivated by the Chaos Body.

Besides, each person can only cultivate one technique, and even including avatars, they can only cultivate two. However, the Chaos Body has no cultivation restrictions at all. As long as there is time and energy, it is possible to cultivate ten thousand techniques and possess ten thousand techniques' characteristics. This is an exceptional case among exceptional cases.

Of course, normally no cultivator has that kind of energy, but even cultivating just four or five top-tier techniques that can be combined with each other is extremely terrifying.

This is far more powerful than the True Dragon Immortal Body, which can endow the dragon vein with intelligence and perfectly mobilize the dragon vein's power.

"The second one is Sheng Kun, one of the Holy Sons of the Heavenly Demon Sect. It is said that he possesses the same bloodline as the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Immortal Realm!! Demon bloodline!!"

"His demonic bloodline has been developed to perfection, which means that he is almost no different from the young demons in the immortal realm. His terrifying demonic power is even more terrifying than the immortal power nurtured by the immortal source."

really!

Lin Jing was startled. Among the geniuses of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Origin Realm, there were also those who had been granted demonic bloodlines by the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Immortal Realm. In fact, under the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the other party's development of bloodline was much faster than his own.

I have only recently achieved a high level of mastery and am still a long way from perfection, while this person... has already reached perfection.

"The third one is a native spirit from the Origin Realm, which is a spirit formed from a vast ocean."

"The fourth one is still a native spirit of the Origin Realm, which is a meteorite that fell from the outer reaches of the Origin Realm and gave birth to intelligence."

"These four are the four strongest people in the Origin Realm right now."

"Among them, Li Tianyi and Sheng Kun have been staying in the Origin Realm for a very long time. It is said that they have been suppressing their cultivation levels and are about to break through to the Void Profound Realm and leave the Origin Realm. The reason they have not left is that they are worried that after they leave, the Canghai Immortal Spirit and the Meteor Immortal Spirit will massacre the geniuses of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. After all, apart from the two of them, almost no human geniuses can restrain these two native monsters."

"Unlike the mountain gods here, who are still willing to abide by the rules of heaven and fear that the immortals and gods of the upper realm will one day look at the source realm again, the Canghai Immortal Spirit and the Meteor Immortal Spirit have no taboos and have also joined the struggle for the immortal source. Countless geniuses from outside the realm have died at their hands. Therefore, most people believe that only when the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Immortal Cultivation Alliance produce a genius who can replace Sheng Kun and Li Tianyi and deter the Canghai Immortal Spirit and the Meteor Immortal Spirit will they choose to leave."

"Nowadays, due to mutual checks and balances, the Four Heavenly Kings basically live in seclusion behind the scenes. They rarely compete for immortal sources themselves, but instead direct the geniuses of their own factions to compete. It is estimated that they will only make a desperate move if an immortal source of exceptionally high quality appears."

"I see." Lin Jing understood. After thinking for a while, he realized that his strength was still far from the top level in the Origin Realm.

This Sheng Kun is not only at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, but his demonic bloodline has also reached perfection. Not to mention his mastery of the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique, his level of development is definitely above mine.

Even if he burned his lifespan to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he would still be no match for his opponent. A forcibly elevated realm is ultimately different from a basic realm.

"If I want to obtain the Immortal Source from these Four Heavenly Kings, the simplest way is to join their forces and then share the spoils. They eat the meat, and I drink the soup."

"But if you want to enjoy the Immortal Source all to yourself, you have to have strength comparable to these four people..." Lin Jing felt the difficulty in his heart. The Chaotic Immortal Body and the Perfected Demon Bloodline were insurmountable mountains.

"Without the systematic training of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it would be difficult for an incarnation of the Heavenly Demon to reach the level of Sheng Kun. It can only be used as a form of identification to infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"As for my own body, even the strongest combination, the Longevity Body and the Heavenly Demon Body, cannot be perfectly utilized in this Origin Realm. I cannot crush my opponent by relying on my cultivation level."

"The ancient emperor and the demon emperor wanted me to outlive my opponents one by one through the longevity body, but they never expected that native monsters would be born in the Origin Realm and join the competition for the Immortal Origin. Their lifespan is no less than that of the longevity body, so relying on endurance is... difficult."

"Then, if you want to make a name for yourself in the Origin Realm, there's only one way..."

Lin Jing's eyes flickered.

Royal Road.

Gang fight.

As long as he, the Pine Leaf Rat, the Dragon Carp, and the Ice Soul Gu, as a unified whole, are stronger than any one of the Four Heavenly Kings, then he still has a chance to become the Fifth Heavenly King of this Origin Realm.

Besides that, Lin Jing looked at the storage bag and breathed a sigh of relief.

The celestial ox corpse successfully followed him to the Origin Realm.

Once I reach the Divine Transformation stage, I can use the Divine Control Technique in conjunction with the Corpse Driving Secret Method of the Yin Corpse Sect to control immortal beast corpse puppets. Perhaps then I can even rival the Four Heavenly Kings.

However, Lin Jing felt that the ideal situation would be for him to subdue more local spirits like those from Yinsi Mountain and form his own forces. Ideally, he should also subdue the Canghai Immortal Spirit and the Meteor Immortal Spirit. Only then would he truly be in charge of the Origin Realm.

"Next, continue to condense spirit stones."

Lin Jing did not take the man's life, nor did he cure him of the poison. Instead, he continued to let the man condense spirit stones in exchange for a chance to leave Yinsi Mountain.

As for himself, amidst the Fang-surnamed cultivator's awkward smile, he turned and flew towards the edge of Yinsi Mountain, wanting to see what this Yinsi Mountain God was all about.

After some time, Lin Jingfei reached the border of Yinsi Mountain.

Upon discovering this place, they found it encircled by a natural array composed of countless spiritual veins, isolating everything inside and outside. Using normal methods, Lin Jing's true form was completely unable to pass through. Even using the top-tier void technique "Heavenly Demon Crossing," capable of traversing boundary walls, he still couldn't break through this natural array!
"This mountain god..." Lin Jing initially didn't believe the mountain god's strength, which the Fang-surnamed cultivator claimed was comparable to that of an immortal body of the same realm, but now he sensed trouble.

If the Origin Realm Mountain God, who has not yet competed for the Immortal Source, has such strength, then the two Immortal Spirit Heavenly Kings, who have already obtained a large amount of Immortal Source to strengthen them, are probably even more outrageous.

As expected of a spirit born from the place in the mortal realm where the power of heaven and earth is most abundant...

Just as Lin Jing's repeated attempts to cross the forest failed, a lazy and roguish voice rang in his ears.

"Huh, when did another one come in... Ah, did it teleport directly from another cultivation world... That won't do either. Once you're in, you have to pay to leave. I planted this tree, I opened this road. If you want to pass, leave your toll. Fair enough, right? I won't hurt you, and don't go complaining to the powerful beings in the immortal realm. We'll trade fairly. Well, you came in by accident, so I'll just charge you half price... If you don't have money, go and gather spirit stones to offer as a sacrifice to this mountain god until you've saved enough!"

"Oh." Realizing that he was no match for the mountain god, Lin Jing turned and left without saying another word. Although the resources he brought might only cover the toll, and although he could burn his lifespan to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and have a chance to force a breakthrough, it was not worth the waste to do so just to leave this place.

Lin Jing chose to break through on the spot, first allowing his main body, avatar, and all his pets to use the spiritual energy of this place to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Then, he would have a good talk with the mountain god and hopefully subdue him.
