Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 498 The Return of the Prodigy
a few days later.

Apart from Lin Jing, all the other geniuses in Tianyuan Realm have taken drugs and gone into seclusion to break through to the Void Profound Realm. They plan to leave Yuan Realm first, according to Lin Jing's plan.

Although they can stay in the Source Realm for a long time, it's no longer meaningful.

In the world of origin, there are essentially only two things to do.

First, the Origin Realm has the highest concentration of natural energy in the lower realms, allowing Nascent Soul cultivators to refine their primordial spirit to perfection.

One year of arduous cultivation is equivalent to more than ten years of arduous cultivation for a Nascent Soul cultivator in the outside world.

Over twenty years of cultivation have enabled the Tianyuan cultivators to reach this level, each one being at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, possessing a perfect Nascent Soul.

Of course, this is just the most basic level. With enough time, every genius who enters the Origin Realm can do this.

The second matter is the struggle for the Immortal Source.

After creating a perfect god, one can begin to try to seize immortal sources. Even if it takes hundreds of years and one only manages to obtain a very ordinary immortal source, it is still well worth it for most geniuses.

Many people linger in the Origin Realm for a long time, hoping to obtain a few strands of immortal power.

As for the geniuses of Tianyuan Realm, since Lin Jing intends to monopolize the Immortal Source of the Origin Realm in the future, there is no point in them staying in the Origin Realm.

With their strength, they couldn't be of much help, since Lin Jing still had a group of demon subordinates.

In this situation, it's better to follow Lin Jing's plan. After all, the last part of the Immortal Source will also be used to nourish Tian Yuan, so they still have a chance to obtain it.

"But is this really okay?"

Reaching the Void Profound stage is incredibly difficult for ordinary cultivators, but it's not difficult for these top geniuses carefully selected from every cultivation world.

Having already laid a perfect foundation in the Nascent Soul stage, breaking through to the Void Profound realm was almost effortless for them. In addition, with the "Refining Void Pill" given by Lin Jing, the geniuses of Tianyuan almost all broke into the Void Profound realm with great ease.

However, when leaving the Origin Realm, these prodigies still felt that Lin Jing's plan was too risky.

The slightest misstep could make the Tianyuan Realm a target of public criticism, but how to proceed is not something these prodigies can decide...

Although after their return, one after another, their Void Profound cultivation levels have made them the second-tier fighting force of the Tianyuan Continent, such a major event that determines the fate of Tianyuan still needs to be decided by the Dao Seeking Ancestors of various forces.

…………

Tianyuan Realm.

More than twenty years have passed since the ten prodigies of the Golden Generation of Tianyuan Realm entered the Origin Realm. During these two decades, Tianyuan Realm under the Golden Age has flourished.

Among them, the most earth-shaking event was the birth of another innate immortal body in the Tianyuan Realm!
The existence of innate immortal bodies, which are completely different from acquired immortal bodies, can be said to be the most obvious feedback of the Golden Age.

The Immortal Body originated from the Wang family, a renowned family of cultivators in the ancient Tianyuan Kingdom. Although the Wang family was quite famous in the ancient kingdom, they were not considered anything special on the continent. However, with the birth of the Immortal Body, the Wang family suddenly soared to new heights.

Moreover, the father of this innate immortal body is not some ancient relic, but a top scholar on the Golden List, and the prodigy of the Wang family, named Wang Xiao.

Once the celestial offspring was born, Wang Xiao went mad, laughing wildly for nine days and nine nights, his laughter echoing throughout the capital.

"Lin Jing, I originally thought I would live in your shadow for the rest of my life, but I never expected that my son is a congenital immortal body! I have no hope of surpassing you in this life, but if my son can surpass you one day, I will consider my life complete!" The father of the immortal body was actually Lin Jing's classmate from the academy, and the two had a certain relationship.

This left cultivators speechless, realizing that being born well is worse than cultivating well. Similar events have occurred frequently on the Tianyuan Continent in recent years. Every few years, extraordinary geniuses emerge, some born with the potential to ascend, others gaining extraordinary opportunities and rising from mortals.

However, these Dao cultivators who ruled the continent were more concerned about the war situation in the Origin Realm. Outside the Origin Realm teleportation array, every Dao cultivator left a wisp of consciousness, waiting for the return of a certain prodigy one day. This wait lasted for more than 20 years. Although 20 years is not much, every Dao cultivator was still very eager for information about the Origin Realm...

"Ok?"

“Here he comes out!?”

"Wait, it seems there's more than one person!"

After a long wait at the teleportation ruins, accompanied by a sudden appearance of light and shadow, the consciousness clones of the Second Generation Ancient Emperor, the Lord of the Demon Court, and others who sought the Dao quickly descended outside the teleportation array, their hearts filled with tension.

And under their watchful eyes, they discovered that it wasn't just one prodigy returning, but rather as if all the prodigies who had been sent away were returning today, one after another.

Before leaving, these geniuses were all at the Nascent Soul stage. After more than twenty years of cultivation in the Origin Realm, they had all broken through to the Void Profound Realm, and their primordial spirit fluctuations were incredibly powerful. This made the cultivators who had been asked to seek enlightenment overjoyed, and they felt that opening the teleportation array was worthwhile!

"Father!"

"We're back."

Gu Xinghe and Gu Youran bowed to the second-generation ancient emperor.

"It's good that you're back, hmm?" The second-generation ancient emperor checked and realized that it seemed that one person had not returned.

"Has Lin Jing not returned?" he asked. However, the second-generation ancient emperor was not too surprised by this. Lin Jing was an immortal being and did not care how much time he wasted in the Origin Realm.

The other cultivators also noticed and looked at the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow, his face full of pride. What a joke! How could he let Lin Jing return so quickly? For a Longevity Body, being in the Origin Realm is like being back home; he'll definitely stay longer.

However, these prodigies returned rather quickly. Even if they needed to reply, one person would suffice. Although their lifespan wasn't as long as those of immortal beings, staying in the Origin Realm for several hundred years wouldn't be a problem and wouldn't significantly affect their subsequent cultivation.

Don't they all have the ambition to compete for the Immortal Source?
"Reporting to Father Emperor, Lin Jing remained in the Origin Realm. We returned ahead of schedule to send a message," Gu Xinghe said.

"But have we already obtained the contact information for the Immortal Cultivation Alliance?" the second-generation ancient emperor asked. As long as they obtained the contact information for the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, they would no longer have to worry about the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The foundation of an ancient nation will not perish at the hands of others.

"This..." Faced with the question from the second-generation ancient emperor, the prodigies fell silent. Gu Youran slowly said:

"Originally, we successfully obtained the contact information for the Immortal Cultivation Alliance..."

"However, before we left, Senior Brother Lin took all the communication tokens that the Immortal Cultivation Alliance had given us."

"He asked us to come back so we could convey that he doesn't want the Tianyuan Realm to join the Immortal Cultivation Alliance for the time being. He plans to use the advantage of the Longevity Body to monopolize the resources of the Origin Realm for ten thousand years, allowing the Tianyuan Realm to exclusively enjoy the resources of the Origin Realm..."

"Joining the Immortal Cultivation Alliance makes it inconvenient for him to fully display his abilities; he faces too many restrictions."

The crowd suddenly felt a darkness before their eyes and all looked toward the Demon Emperor.

"Huh?" The Demon Emperor was taken aback and said, "Why are you all looking at me like that? I think the Holy Son's idea is quite good. Rather than pinning our hopes on the help of others, why not... wait, if we monopolize the resources of the Origin Realm for ten thousand years, I won't see Lin Jing for ten thousand years?"
