Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 476 Resurrection! Resurrection!
Lin Jing's intention to retrieve the remains of the Dark Emperor was certainly not for the purpose of using the corpse-driving technique.

The Corpse-Driving Secret Technique of the Yin Corpse Sect can only be used on humans and demon beasts, since there weren't many other races left in the Tianyuan Realm at that time.

Lin Jing had his eye on the Dark Emperor's talent and potential, which were no less than those of the Azure Sea and the Meteor Fairy...

It's such a pity that he perished at the Nascent Soul stage.

……

After inspecting the quantity and types of resources in the treasure vault, Lin Jing took the remains of the Dark Emperor and left first.

"Sect Master." At this moment, the Netherworld Goddess, who was waiting outside Immortal City, saw Lin Jing come out and chuckled, "This time... we have really reaped a great harvest."

"It's good that we've made progress." Lin Jing said, "We can talk about reproduction later. As for what I mentioned before, the Vice Sect Master should be able to do it, right?"

"Resurrect the cultivators who died in Immortal City!"

“No problem. These people haven’t been dead for long. As long as there are enough resources, I can do it,” the Goddess of the Underworld said easily.

She is the embodiment of the death power of the Origin Realm. She can pull back any living being that dies within the Origin Realm and has not been completely "decomposed and digested" by the Origin Realm from the brink of death.

Of course, minor things like losing an arm or a leg, or missing a soul or a head are beyond her control.

Generally speaking, resurrection is possible.

"Yes, and... do you have any way to 'revive' it?" Lin Jing took out the remains of the Dark Emperor.

"This..." Upon seeing the nine-tailed fox composed entirely of dark elements, the Goddess of the Underworld was stunned for a moment before exclaiming in surprise, "Could this be the Dark Emperor? Its remains are still here!"

“That’s right.” Lin Jing nodded, then asked seriously, “Is there a way?”

"No, Sect Master, you know I can only resurrect 'flesh-and-blood beings' who have been dead for no more than a hundred years. I can't resurrect spirits and monsters." The Netherworld Goddess shook her head.

"But spirits don't need my help to revive them at all. As long as they don't die of old age, they can revive themselves by finding a place with abundant dark power and being nurtured for tens of thousands of years!"

Lin Jing shook his head and said, "Ten thousand years is too long. I want it to be revived immediately."

"Wait, wait, wait..."

"Fine, let them die if they want to." Lin Jing sighed when he saw that even the Goddess of the Underworld was helpless.

"Huh?" Under the surprised gaze of the Underworld Goddess, Lin Jing left. Before leaving, he said, "I will come to find you again later. Prepare yourself. I will provide resources for you to resurrect the dead from the Battle of Immortal City."

"Really..." the Underworld Goddess cursed, "She really knows how to boss people around."

Damn it, in the end I still ended up as a laborer...

…………

In the blink of an eye, Lin Jing returned to his cave in Immortal City. The reason he wanted to revive the Dark Emperor was to have the "Heavenly Demon Avatar" use him as the next target for possession.

Since he no longer intends to possess Fairy Wuji's body, Lin Jing will definitely need to choose a suitable incarnation body. As for the human immortal body, Lin Jing has not yet found a suitable one.

Lin Jing was somewhat tempted by the sudden discovery of the Dark Emperor's remains. Apart from not being human, its dark attributes were very compatible with the power of the Heavenly Demon and the bloodline of the Demon Race. With the mutual enhancement, it would surely allow the avatar's strength to reach another level.

The only downside is that the Dark Emperor has been dead for who knows how long.

Normal possession can only possess members of the same clan, and cannot possess those who have been dead for a long time.

The power of possession cultivated through the Heavenly Demon Scripture is more formidable, allowing for the perfect possession of beings of other races, including demons and spirits. It can also possess those who have been dead for a certain number of years. However, the difficulty of possession is undoubtedly much higher than possessing a freshly deceased person.

Lin Jing's original intention was to find a way to revive the remains of the Dark Emperor and then possess his body, which would be easier. However, since even the Goddess of the Underworld couldn't think of a way, Lin Jing could only make do with his avatar for now.

Since there's nothing else to do now that I've transformed into a primordial spirit, I'll just let it slowly possess the remains of the Dark Emperor.

a few days later.

Lin Jing received news that a few days ago, the battle between Meteor Fairy Spirit and the Holy Son of the Demonic Sect, Sheng Kun, ended with Meteor Fairy Spirit suffering severe injuries and Sheng Kun being squeezed out of the Origin Realm.

Thus, the four strongest combatants of the Origin Realm have all temporarily withdrawn from the scene in different ways.

Although Lin Jing knew that the Canghai Immortal Spirit and the Meteor Immortal Spirit would recover quickly in preparation for the upcoming millennium war, and that the two major human forces would send in some more geniuses within the next ten years, it didn't matter to him.

These ten years will be his time to shine. Lin Jing needs to rapidly improve his strength during these ten years and strive to reach the Heavenly King level as soon as possible.

"Sheng Kun has indeed gone out as well. In that case, this thing can be used."

Lin Jing took out the Celestial Banner of the Universe and threw it to the released Heavenly Demon Avatar: "Use this. No matter how difficult it is to possess the remains of the Dark Emperor, ten years should be enough."

"We don't lack the immortal power that serves as the energy source for the Immortal Banner anymore."

“That’s right.” The demonic avatar was excited: “With the immortal source in the Immortal City’s treasury, perhaps we won’t have to wait for the top-grade immortal source ten years from now. The pine needle rats and the others can become immortal beasts ahead of time. Then, we won’t have to rely on the immortal ox’s corpse so much!”

"Yes." Lin Jing nodded. His only worry now was that the cultivation alliance outside would send someone to replace him as acting city lord once they learned of his extravagant spending of the Immortal City's treasury. In that case, some conflicts would be inevitable.

In recent days, more alliance cultivators have broken through to the next level. After the great battle, it is common for cultivators to lose control of their cultivation level and break through the void.

…………

Pangu Star, Pangu Continent, Immortal Cultivation Alliance.

Several days have passed since Li Tianyi, the Chaos Immortal Body, returned.

The powerful figures in the alliance are basically aware of the situation in the Origin Realm and have begun to temporarily summon the top talents to send them into the Origin Realm.

Hundreds of prodigies from different cultivation continents arrived at the alliance headquarters via a spatial teleportation array. With their current strength, even if they arrived in the Origin Realm, they certainly wouldn't be able to change anything. However, if the alliance were to use some unconventional methods to overdraw their potential and temporarily boost their power, the effect would be different.

However, before these alliance powerhouses could begin to force growth, a prodigy from the Origin Realm returned, bringing some information that surprised both the Origin Realm powerhouses and Li Tianyi.

"The acting city lord appointed by Senior Brother Tianyi has incorporated dozens of native spirits from the Origin Realm, led by the Netherworld Goddess and Yinsi Mountain, and established the Heaven and Earth Sect!"

"Commanding the power of these spirits, the new city lord effortlessly repelled the Azure Sea Immortal Spirits; the war is over!"

What's going on?! Li Tianyi was dumbfounded when he received the news. When did Lin Jing subdue these monsters, especially the Netherworld Goddess? You must know that because of the Netherworld Goddess's special ability to revive the dead in the Origin Realm, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance once tried to bribe her with several immortal artifacts, but they failed!

"Tianyi, you have done a great service!" A powerful figure began to praise Li Tianyi, but not long after, news came that made Li Tianyi and many high-ranking members of the alliance vomit blood.

"The new city lord, together with the Goddess of the Underworld, is queuing up to resurrect fallen cultivators. It seems... it seems the alliance's treasury is about to be emptied."

"According to the resurrected cultivators, the new city lord and the Goddess of the Underworld are still 'resurrecting at a loss.' Each resurrected cultivator has to sign an IOU to make up the difference in resurrection fees... There's even a squirrel... They've dug up all the immortal flowers and green plants in the city and are gathering the entire city's strength to resurrect those geniuses who shed blood for the Immortal City."

A powerful figure roared in anger: "That's the foundation the Alliance has built up over many years in the Origin Realm! What is this guy doing? Why is he reviving a bunch of useless guys? Stop him!"
