Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 452 Underworld
“It’s this one.” Li Tianyi took out the portrait, and Lin Jing looked at it and fell into deep thought.

Lingyue Sword Immortal, Feng Ning?
"Junior brother, you don't need to worry about her safety. If I'm not mistaken, she should be a 'Taiyin Body', right?"

"Yes." Lin Jing nodded. The Taiyin Body of the Lingyue Sword Immortal originated from the Divine Body Pill, or more accurately, it is an acquired Taiyin Body.

"Then that's it. According to that cultivator's report, the other party seems to be the 'Yin Sha Maiden' in the Netherworld!"

"The Goddess of the Underworld possesses the ability to 'bring the dead back to life,' but reviving the dead is also a very energy-consuming matter for her. In order to reduce her burden, she created the 'Yin Sha Grand Array,' which can be constructed by cultivators with the Taiyin Body, who can bear part of the energy consumption on her behalf."

"If I'm not mistaken, this fairy was kept by the Goddess of the Underworld because of her Yin Body. The Goddess of the Underworld has already collected dozens of such Yin Bodies..."

Dozens...

The Taiyin Divine Body is at least among the top 20 physiques on the Tianyuan Divine Body Ranking, but in this Origin Realm it's really commonplace.

Lin Jing was relieved to learn that Feng Ning was alright for the time being, but it seemed that the trip to the Underworld was imminent.

"Junior brother, do you wish to go to the Netherworld to find fellow cultivators?" Noticing Lin Jing's gaze, Li Tianyi asked.

Before Lin Jing could answer, he waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "Junior brother, I think you should give up on rescuing this fellow cultivator."

Lin Jing frowned and asked, "Why?"

Li Tianyi replied, "Becoming a Yin Sha Nu is not necessarily a bad thing. The Underworld Goddess will not use the Taiyin Body as a consumable."

"On the contrary, for the sake of the Yin Sha Grand Array, she would also share the immortal resources and immortal energy she had traded with these Yin Sha women so that they could cultivate and enhance their magical power."

"From this perspective, these Yin Sha Nu themselves may not even be able to compete for the Immortal Source. On the contrary, because of their physical constitution, they can receive the Immortal Qi bestowed by the Underworld Goddess. This can be considered a stroke of luck."

"Furthermore, the Goddess of the Underworld values ​​these Yin Sha Nu extremely highly. Taking them back will probably not be easy and will require a great price. In addition, although the Goddess of the Underworld is a rogue cultivator, she maintains good relations with all parties. It will be very difficult to fight against her."

"Most importantly, I just killed the pet of the Holy Son of the Demonic Sect a while ago, but he didn't say much. Do you know why?"

Lin Jing suddenly realized: "Could those Void Beasts also be resurrected in the Netherworld?"

Li Tianyi nodded: "If that Holy Son of the Demonic Cult is willing to pay a huge price, the Goddess of the Underworld might actually be able to do it. In other words, if you go to the Underworld now, you are very likely to encounter the Holy Son of the Demonic Cult again, which is extremely dangerous."

"In summary, I do not recommend that you go looking for your companion. It would be better to wait until you are stronger and your companion has obtained enough benefits from the Goddess of the Underworld before you go looking for her."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I will postpone my trip to the Underworld for now." Lin Jing clasped his hands in a slight fist salute.

Seeing that he had successfully persuaded Lin Jing, Li Tianyi nodded in satisfaction. He liked juniors who listened to advice the most; only in this way could they live a long life.

The next day.

Lin Jing embarked on a journey to the Underworld.

Li Tianyi's advice was indeed reasonable, but Lin Jing didn't listen.

He was not visiting as a cultivator from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, but as the Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

The Mountain God of Lust was a friend of the Goddess of the Underworld. With the Mountain God's introduction, his purpose in visiting her was not simply to find someone or make a deal, but to completely subdue the Goddess of the Underworld.

"Sect Master, you're finally back."

Several days later, Lin Jing passed through the territory of Yinsi Mountain. The mountain god had already transformed into a stone figure and was waiting for Lin Jing. "The mountain is gone, but what about those people?" Lin Jing looked at the mountain god and asked about the whereabouts of Fang Wuming and the others.

"They're all sealed inside their bodies, asleep. There's no need to worry about them escaping and spreading rumors," the mountain god said.

"Alright, let's go." Lin Jing grew increasingly expectant, wondering if he could successfully persuade the Goddess of the Underworld...

…………

The Underworld is located on a scorched and desolate land, which, like the snow-capped mountains before it, is sparsely populated.

In the center of the earth, there is a ghost city. The spirit of the Underworld Goddess, who resembles a soul, unexpectedly looks into the distance.

"Yinsi Mountain, what brings this guy here?"

It had been hundreds of years since she last met Yinsi Mountain.

"Big sister, are you there?" Outside the Netherworld, the shrunken Yinsi Mountain God stood on Lin Jing's shoulder, taking the place of the Pine Leaf Rat, and shouted into the interior.

A moment later, the consciousness of the Goddess of the Underworld swam out.

"Lustful Sacrifice...who is this human?"

"He is our hope for leaving the Origin Realm. I've staked my future on him," the Yinsi Mountain God said smugly.

"What are you talking about?" The Goddess of the Underworld observed Lin Jing with annoyance, and then made an extraordinary discovery.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Perfect Longevity Body, Life and Death Primordial Spirit?"

Goodness, this is much more suitable for maintaining her grand formation than the Taiyin Body; it might even be the core of the formation!

The Netherworld Goddess's eyes lit up instantly, but the next moment, Lin Jing let out a light snort and activated the "Corpse Dissection and Fusion True Technique" from the Corpse Driving Secret Technique, temporarily grafting a part of the Immortal Ox's corpse onto his own body.

A pair of demonic bull horns grew on Lin Jing's head, and he immediately exuded a terrifying aura. When his yin-yang eyes looked at her, the Goddess of the Underworld was instantly startled, feeling a sense of oppression from Lin Jing that was no less than that of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"The Netherworld is not to be rude," said the Mountain God of Lust. "I have found a way to leave the Origin Realm, but it will take some time to prepare. Are you interested in joining me?"

Having said that, it threw out a memory stone. After the Netherworld Goddess touched it, key information about the Beast Taming Technique, the Forest Realm, and the Heaven and Earth Sect immediately appeared in her mind.

"No way!" After reading it, the Goddess of the Underworld refused to participate, saying, "I won't get involved in a plan with such an uncertain success rate."

Although she did not actively join the Immortal Source War, there were plenty of Immortal Sources.

I would never risk my life for Lin Jing or help him compete for immortal resources.

They were even less willing to provide the Immortal Source to Lin Jing, gambling on something uncertain.

“Perhaps we should reconsider,” Lin Jing said. “I just feel that the Netherworld Goddess’s ambitions are limited here in the Origin Realm. Outside the Origin Realm, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Realm are locked in a life-or-death struggle, with countless cultivators dying every moment. That land of death is clearly more suitable for the Netherworld Goddess to dominate…”

"How about this? We won't force Lady Netherworld to join us. We don't need you to do anything. As long as you remain neutral and don't help our enemies, I will give you the position of honorary vice sect leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect. After it's done, I will still take Lady Netherworld away from the Origin Realm. How about that?"
