Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 475 The Dark Emperor
Although he has now become the acting city lord of Xianlin City, Lin Jing understands that he can't be too unseemly when it comes to taking advantage of others.

If they were to plunder the Immortal City's resources without any justification, then after the Immortal Cultivation Alliance dealt with the Canghai Immortal Spirit, the next target would be them.

But if we rephrase it as mobilizing the Immortal City's resources to resurrect the Alliance's prodigies who died protecting the Immortal City, then the situation would be the same.

Although the resurrection required more resources, they were indeed used for the alliance itself.

At that time, regardless of Lin Jing's initial purpose, the resurrected alliance prodigies, as well as the sects, families, and cultivation world behind them, will remember Lin Jing's kindness in some way.

After all, there was no precedent in the past for Immortal City to use public funds to revive fallen geniuses from the Origin Realm.

Lin Jing can be considered to have set a precedent.

However, this is also related to the exorbitant price that the Goddess of the Underworld had previously demanded; the cost of resurrecting a cultivator was too high.

Of course, there will definitely be no price reduction now.

On the contrary, the price will increase significantly because so many items need to be revived.

However, Lin Jing felt that human life was priceless and it was still worthwhile.

"City Lord... is this... is this alright?" Yan Yunshuang's lips twitched. Everyone here is a cunning fox; how could they not see through Lin Jing's plan?

No!

Dude, you're in too much of a hurry!

He's only just become the acting city lord, and he's already so eager to seize the Immortal City's treasure vault?

Now that the Goddess of the Underworld is your person, when the time comes for her to be resurrected, won't you two split the resurrection fee?

"Brother Yan, do you think we shouldn't resurrect these fallen comrades?"

"That's not entirely true." Yan Yunshuang took a deep breath, not daring to say such a thing.

If Lin Jing hadn't brought this up, it would have been fine, but now that he has, if these people are unable to be resurrected because of him, then the forces behind these geniuses will definitely hold a grudge against him!
Forget it.

do not care!
Yan Yunshuang decided not to get involved in these matters anymore, since it was Senior Brother Li Tianyi who, as the young alliance leader, handed over the position of city lord to Lin Jing.

No matter what happens, Senior Brother Li is always the first person in charge.

"You take a count of the dead, I'll go check the treasury."

Lin Jing headed straight for the Immortal City's treasure vault, a place he had long yearned to visit.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Sect disappeared, exchanging the spoils they had collected, leaving Yan Yunshuang with no choice but to clean up the mess...

A moment later, the Immortal Arrives at the Treasure Vault, and Lin Jing is already standing in front of the treasure pavilion... Li Tianyi left in a hurry and did not tell Lin Jing how to enter the treasure pavilion. The place was sealed by multiple arrays, but Lin Jing did not need the other party to tell him, because he was now the acting city lord, and having this identity was enough.

"Array Spirit, are you awake?" Lin Jing said, and the next moment, an array spirit appeared outside the building.

"Greetings, Acting City Lord," the spirit of the formation said.

"Senior Brother Tianyi left in a hurry and did not tell me how to unlock the array. Immortal City is still facing a crisis. I need to mobilize the resources of the Immortal Treasury to resist the external enemy."

"I am now the acting city lord, could you help me open the Immortal Treasury?"

The spirit of the formation nodded. It had naturally heard Li Tianyi's final arrangements and seen Lin Jing repel the enemy.

"Lord City Master, please come in." The array spirit is the last line of defense for the Immortal City's treasure vault. Now, Lin Jing, as the acting city lord, can easily command it to open the vault's doors. ...

Before long, upon entering the treasure trove within the forest, they were dazzled by the various resources inside.

"No wonder the Celestial Spirit of the Vast Ocean still didn't want to leave after dealing with Li Tianyi, and was very eager to conquer the Celestial City!"

Lin Jing took a deep breath and looked at the jade platforms shrouded in celestial light with great envy.

The first level of this Immortal Treasury contains at least dozens of ordinary Immortal Sources sealed within. In addition, various rare resources native to the Origin Realm are also abundant here.

Most importantly, after entering a higher level, Lin Jing discovered that many remnants of Origin Realm spirits were also sealed here!
It should be understood that the spirits and monsters of the Origin Realm are all born from natural things such as mountains, rivers, plants and trees, and even after they die, they are still top-quality resources.

The Immortal Cultivation Alliance has been dealing with spirits and monsters from the Origin Realm for many years, and the remains of these spirits and monsters they have collected are countless.

These things... are all excellent treasures for alchemy, weapon crafting, and cultivating techniques to enhance spells.

"Such pure dark power..."

Suddenly, Lin Jing looked at the highest point of the treasure pavilion, frowned, and quickly climbed up. There he saw a fox sealed in a huge black amber.

This fox was made entirely of black mist, had nine tails, and emitted an extremely dark and profound aura, but it seemed to have lost all signs of life.

"Array Spirit, what is this?" Lin Jing called out to the array spirit, and immediately the spherical array spirit appeared.

"Lord City Lord, I have a name, I'm called Qiuqiu," the spirit said earnestly.

"Hmm, spirit of the array, what is this?" Lin Jing asked.

"This is the Origin Realm spirit 'Dark Emperor,' a very powerful spirit. It was born from 'Night,' and was previously considered the strongest spirit below the Azure Sea Immortal Spirit and the Meteor Immortal Spirit."

"At that time, the 'White Emperor' and the 'Dark Emperor' were born at the same time, and their talents and potential were astonishing. However, the two were at odds with each other and fought against each other for many years. The Canghai Immortal Spirit and the Meteor Immortal Spirit, who had established their hegemonic status earlier, were worried that the two would affect their status, so they took advantage of the two fighting to launch an attack to kill them."

"The great battle darkened the sky and the earth. The Heavenly Demon Sect and the Immortal Cultivation Alliance seized the opportunity to join the melee. In the end, the White Emperor and the Dark Emperor both died in battle. The White Emperor turned to ashes and returned to nature. He may be reborn tens of thousands of years later. The Dark Emperor's remains were seized by the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and he did not completely perish."

"However, at that time, there were no top geniuses in Immortal City who could cultivate the corresponding attribute techniques. So the remains of the Dark Emperor were kept in the treasure vault as an exchange item until now..." After the spirit Qiuqiu finished speaking, Lin Jing fell into deep thought.

Lin Jing said, "I want this."

"Huh?" The spirit Qiuqiu asked, puzzled, "Does the City Lord want this Dark Emperor's remains?"

"Hmm." Lin Jing nodded. There should be geniuses in Immortal City who cultivate dark attribute techniques. However, the Dark Emperor's remains are too valuable. Unless one is a genius at the city lord level, no one has the contribution to exchange for them.

And coincidentally, none of the geniuses at the city lord level cultivated dark attribute techniques.

It's fortunate that the Immortal Cultivation Alliance managed to snatch this thing; if it had been taken by the Heavenly Demon Sect, it would probably have been used up long ago.

Lin Jing sensed it immediately because his Heavenly Demon Primordial Spirit suddenly trembled. The remains of the Dark Emperor seemed to be a great tonic for the Heavenly Demon Primordial Spirit.

I am... really lucky.

“I have a way to ‘revive’ the Dark Emperor. With its combat power, it should be able to provide great assistance if the two great immortal spirits attack,” Lin Jing said.

"Huh?" The spirit Qiuqiu exclaimed in surprise, "The Corpse Control Technique... could it also control the corpses of spirits and monsters? But even if it could, these remains of the Dark Emperor shouldn't be as good as the remains of a celestial beast!"

Lin Jing said, "Children shouldn't ask so many questions."
