Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 477 Zhou Banxian

The Immortal Cultivation Alliance has three leaders and eight vice leaders. These eleven people are considered the most powerful cultivators in the alliance.

Each of them is an absolute leader in their respective cultivation world, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them overlords of their respective realms.

Among them, Li Tianyi is one of the three leaders of the alliance and a disciple of the Old Man Fishing.

It is said that Li Tianyi was a genius that the old man fishing in the Void Sea caught from a small world and sent to the Pangu Continent for training.

For the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, the three leaders basically do not get involved in the affairs of the Origin Realm. Most of the matters in the Origin Realm are handled by Zhou Banxian, one of the vice leaders.

Zhou Banxian is currently the only known cultivator in the lower realm who can generate immortal power on his own. He is incredibly powerful, and apart from not having the lifespan of a true immortal, his combat strength is close to that of a true immortal. Therefore, he is known as Banxian (Half-Immortal).

"Li Tianyi!"

“Senior Zhou…” Outside Li Tianyi’s cave, a huge phantom descended, and Li Tianyi immediately went to greet it.

He had already anticipated that Zhou Banxian would personally intervene in the matter of the Origin Realm.

"I ask you."

"What exactly is going on with this guy named Lin Jing?!"

Li Tianyi smiled wryly and said, "Replying to Senior..."

He quickly recounted Lin Jing's identity and experiences to Zhou Banxian in detail, and then added, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Lin to be able to subdue so many spirits. His mobilization of resources in Xianlin City to revive the Alliance's prodigies... must have been out of kindness."

"Kindness my foot!" Zhou Banxian roared, "Isn't this blatantly using this as a pretext to embezzle resources?"

"The immortal resources in the Immortal City's treasure trove are enough to nurture a hundred stronger geniuses, but in order to revive some useless people, you let him take them all. Is he crazy or are you crazy?"

"These all belong to me!"

"It's meant to cultivate more valuable talents, not to be used on just any Tom, Dick, or Harry!"

Li Tianyi sighed. Everyone has their own value, and what Senior Zhou said was not wrong.

"What's the use of resurrecting these guys who couldn't even protect their own lives in a battle between equals?" Zhou Banxian sneered.

"Those who don't have the strength to seize the Immortal Source, their deaths are no big deal."

Sending prodigies to the Origin Realm was so that they could seize a large amount of Immortal Origin, especially the top-grade Immortal Origin that appeared every thousand years, which was a resource that Zhou Banxian insisted on obtaining.

Under normal circumstances, if a prodigy from the alliance manages to seize a top-grade immortal source, Zhou Banxian will not allow him to use it privately. Instead, he will demand that it be handed over to him, and subsequently, he will bestow other equivalent resources upon him.

“Senior Zhou, even if Junior Brother Lin really intends to embezzle from this, he will definitely use it to strengthen his own strength. Many of the Alliance’s prodigies have witnessed his situation. He can resist Sheng Kun and repel the Canghai Immortal Spirit. With so much immortal source to strengthen him, he will definitely be able to defend Xianlin City well. Senior, you don’t need to worry about Xianlin City falling because of this.”

"Moreover, Tianyuan Realm and Junior Brother Lin are planning to join the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, which will be better able to help seniors compete for Immortal Sources."

Zhou Banxian continued with a cold laugh: "If only the other party were really that obedient. Let me ask you, do you know the coordinates of the Tianyuan Continent?"

Li Tianyi shook his head: "The cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm don't even know the coordinates of their own world. However, I have already informed them of several methods for contacting the Pangu Continent from outside the realm." Zhou Banxian's sneer grew even stronger: "So, even if this Lin Jing ignores the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and intends to monopolize the resources of the Origin Realm, refusing to hand over the Immortal Source he obtains, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance can't do anything about it?"

"First, we can't find the cultivation world behind him, so we can't determine his location. Second, currently, no one in the cultivation alliance can defeat him in the Origin Realm!"

“Junior Brother Lin… surely he wouldn’t do that?” Li Tianyi asked.

"No way?!" Zhou Banxian snorted, "Are you stupid? Go fishing with your master. What kind of young alliance leader are you? How could someone who has the ability to subdue so many Origin Realm spirits not have ambitions?"

"Do you know how he subdued the Goddess of the Underworld?"

Li Tianyi pursed his lips: "I hope you can give me some guidance, senior."

"Of course, he made promises to those Origin Realm spirits!" Zhou Banxian said, "This guy cultivates the Immortal Palace Beast Taming Technique, which allows him to regard his pets as one with himself. So, from another perspective, he might also be able to form contracts with Origin Realm spirits and take them out!"

"For those Origin Realm spirits, only this condition is enough to entice them to follow!"

"When the time comes, after his instigation, most of the spirits and monsters in the Origin Realm will pledge allegiance to him. What will the Cultivation Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Sect have to do with the Origin Realm then? The interests of the entire Origin Realm will be enormous, and the Alliance can't threaten him. Do you think he will still obediently listen to the Alliance?"

Li Tianyi's expression turned serious. He hadn't thought of so much. After Zhou Banxian's reminder, he instantly realized that Lin Jing was indeed capable of breaking away from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and, with the help of these monsters, monopolizing the resources of the Origin Realm and becoming a separate hegemon.

One after another, cultivators from the cultivation world joined the cultivation alliance, simply to obtain more resources and assistance in resisting the Heavenly Demon Sect.

But if the benefits of monopolizing the Origin Realm outweigh those of joining the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, would Lin Jing and the Immortal Cultivation World behind him still be willing to join the Immortal Cultivation Alliance?
"I hadn't noticed the 'Beast Taming Technique' before... I remember the Heavenly Cry Realm should also have the Beast Taming Technique. Go and get this technique now, find a group of geniuses to cultivate it, and then send them into the Origin Realm. We absolutely cannot allow the monsters of the Forest Realm and the Origin Realm to cooperate alone!"

"Furthermore, I will send someone to the Origin Realm to demand the return of the City Lord position from Lin Jing, so that we can see just how ambitious he really is."

After finishing his speech, Zhou Banxian left. Although the matter was somewhat out of control, he was not too worried. Over the years, there had been too many things out of control in the Origin Realm. As long as he wanted to, there was nothing he couldn't solve.

Hopefully, this beast-taming cultivator named Lin Jing will be more sensible.

"Any of you willing to take on the position of City Lord of Immortal City in the Origin Realm and meet this Lin Jing?" Zhou Banxian transmitted his voice to his many disciples.

"Disciple is willing to relieve Master's worries!" Not long after, a disciple responded.

…………

"come yet."

A few days later, Lin Jing, who was trying to consume the immortal energy as quickly as possible, received a report that a cultivator claiming to be a disciple of Zhou Banxian, the vice leader of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, had entered the Origin Realm from the outside world with Zhou Banxian's written order, wanting to visit Lin Jing, the new city lord.

“I know this Half-Immortal Zhou. He should be the powerful figure in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance who is in charge of matters related to the Origin Realm. I’ve heard about him from other people.”

"His disciple... he's up to no good. I haven't even warmed my seat as city lord yet, and it looks like it's about to be snatched away," Lin Jing said calmly.

Beside them, the leaf rat, dragon carp, and ice spirit gu, which were inhaling the immortal energy, turned to look at the forest.

It seems like we're the ones who came with ill intentions.
