Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 503 Return
Upon entering the Origin Realm, Senior Brother Ouyang contacted Lin Jing and began to complain.

"Senior Brother Ouyang, it's been a long time. No rush, speak slowly."

Lin Jing brewed a cup of tea and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the Starry Sky Enigma Array is not working, and the Heavenly Demon Sect has still managed to find the Heavenly Origin Realm?"

If that's the case, then it's really bad.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect? No!" Senior Brother Ouyang shook his head repeatedly, saying, "It's not an external threat, it's from within the realm, within the realm!"

He took a sip of tea and then asked, "Junior Brother, do you know about the 'Refining Dao Sect'?"

Lin Jing recalled for a moment and nodded: "The Refining Dao Sect was one of the four core sects that destroyed the Immortal Palace, and also one of the four core sects that established the Immortal Alliance. The sect was unparalleled in both alchemy and artifact crafting, and its alchemy skills were unmatched. At that time, it provided the Allied forces with a large number of top-grade magic weapons and pills..."

"Then junior brother should also know about the later development of the Refining Dao Sect."

Ouyang Hao added: "Many years after the Tianyuan Realm ushered in the era of the Immortal Alliance's rule, the Refining Dao Sect gave birth to a Primordial Immortal Body, the Refining Heaven Immortal Body! This immortal body is extremely despicable. Relying on the doting of his masters, he does not follow the righteous path. When refining pills, he even uses living people and beasts to refine them!"

Lin Jing, Long Li: ...

"Even refining a weapon involves sacrificing a living being."

"After that, he went further and further astray, starting to study live body alchemy, refining souls and corpses, and using people to raise Gu poison. This guy later had a son, and this son had two personal disciples..."

Lin Jing's gaze sharpened: "The Netherworld Palace Master, the Corpse Emperor; the Yin Corpse Sect Master, the Corpse Emperor."

“That’s right! In terms of seniority, this Refining Heaven Immortal Body can even be said to be the grandmaster of the Bone Emperor and the Corpse Emperor, and is also the root cause of the Refining Dao Sect’s gradual decline from a righteous sect.”

"The three major demonic sects of the Tianyuan Realm today are all inextricably linked to this person's existence."

"According to the records, wasn't this person already dead long ago? Could it be..." Lin Jing asked. According to the records, this person nearly went mad in his later years, constantly refining himself in an attempt to achieve immortality, but ultimately failed and died.

Ouyang Hao remained silent for a moment, then spoke what he knew: "He should have been dead, but he probably wasn't quite dead. He kept experimenting with methods to achieve immortality. Although most of the methods failed, there were some that didn't completely fail. It's just that he was missing a crucial opportunity."

"The arrival of the Golden Age provided the other side with this opportunity, allowing the Demon Ancestor of Refining Heaven, who had been buried somewhere, to be successfully revived."

"In fact, the other party may have been revived a long time ago, but it was not until ten years ago that the major forces discovered it. At this time, the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor had already subdued the Netherworld Palace, the Gu God, and the reincarnated Corpse Emperor, rebuilt the Refining Dao Sect, and wanted to avenge the destruction of the Refining Dao Sect. He has become a great threat to the Tianyuan Continent."

"Originally, the cultivators of Tianyuan had recovered and were planning to send the next batch of cultivators into the Origin Realm. However, the resurgence of the Refining Dao Sect made it difficult for them to spare the energy. After all, activating the Origin Realm teleportation array to send nine geniuses into the Origin Realm was quite taxing, and it was not advisable to have too much consumption at this sensitive time."

"So in the end, they only sent me in first, to tell my junior brother the details..."

“The Refining Dao Sect…” Lin Jing frowned and sighed, “We dodged the Heavenly Demon Sect, and now the Refining Dao Sect has appeared. Sigh… Where is the Demon Emperor?”

“Didn’t I prepare a top-grade immortal source for Her Majesty the Demon Emperor? With a top-grade immortal source in hand, hasn’t she already become a celestial beast? Once she becomes a celestial beast, won’t she be able to destroy this Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor?” Ouyang Hao said, “Not yet… But as Junior Brother said, as long as Her Majesty the Demon Emperor follows the steps and continues to cultivate until she becomes a celestial beast, the Refining Dao Sect shouldn’t be able to amount to anything.”

"However, it may take some time."

"Therefore, His Majesty the Demon Emperor sent me in to tell my junior brother not to rush and to give her time to cultivate."

"Once her immortal beast bloodline is fully developed, we will destroy the Refining Dao Sect and continue to cooperate with Junior Brother's plan. Let Junior Brother wait for now."

Lin Jing nodded: "It seems that this Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor is quite powerful. He has an innate immortal body. With an immortal body, as long as the Demon Emperor does not become an immortal beast, even if the first ancient emperor is reborn, even if the Dao Seekers of Tianyuan unite, even if they can restrain him, it will be difficult to completely eliminate him. Moreover, he has been lying low for many years and has also recruited those three demons."

“Yes.” Ouyang Hao looked distressed. “Because His Majesty the Demon Emperor destroyed the Yin Corpse Sect and the Gu God Sect, and because my junior brother seized the opportunity from the Netherworld Palace, these three demonic sects are very unfriendly to the Demon Court and the Beast Taming Sect.”

"It can be said that, apart from Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, which destroyed the Liandao Sect, Qingzhou was the most chaotic place in terms of the war situation."

"But it's not a big problem, not a big problem... wait for the Demon Emperor..."

"The Demon Emperor possesses top-grade immortal resources and is involved in evolving immortal beasts. I doubt many people know this, right?" Lin Jing asked.

Ouyang Hao nodded: "Only a very few people know this. I only found out before I left. People like the Refining Dao Sect, the Ancient Kingdom, and other forces on the Tianyuan Continent don't know that Junior Brother handed over the top-grade Immortal Source to His Majesty the Demon Emperor. His Majesty has been cultivating in secret all along."

"Understood." Lin Jing nodded and said, "No wonder no Beast Taming Sect disciples have come to the Origin Realm for so long. In that case, Senior Brother, you can continue your cultivation here in the Origin Realm. After you reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, I will select an Origin Realm spirit for you, and we will work together to figure out how to bring the Origin Realm spirit back to Tianyuan!"

"Next, I will ask the Goddess of the Underworld to take good care of you. I'll be right back."

"Huh?" Ouyang Hao was taken aback and said, "Junior brother, where are you going? It's been so long since we last met. I was looking forward to catching up with you."

Lin Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Naturally, I plan to return to the Tianyuan Realm."

"Huh???" Ouyang Hao was dumbfounded and said, "Junior brother, are you crazy? Why would you leave the perfectly good Origin Realm and go to the fiery Tianyuan Realm? With your status, you'd definitely be number one on the assassination list in the Tianyuan Realm."

"Besides, you're not going to... If you go back, how will you come back?"

Lin Jing chuckled and said, "I can use the Heavenly Demon Body to temporarily raise my cultivation level to the Void Profound realm, be squeezed out of the Origin Realm, and once I reach the Heavenly Origin realm, I will recover my Nascent Soul cultivation and meet the standards for entering the Origin Realm again. Many Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators are proficient in this method. Although doing so carries the risk of me being unable to suppress my cultivation level, your words just now reminded me that it is worth taking the risk."

"What?"

"The Demon Ancestor of Refining Heaven and the demonic cultivators of the Refining Dao Sect are all experts who are proficient in the Dao of refining life and soul. I need their cultivation experience!"

If we use the Dao Fruit Technique to absorb the demonic research experience on life and soul from the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor, Corpse Emperor, and Skeleton Emperor, and transfer it to the Pine Leaf Rat, is it possible to promote the evolution of the Glazed Immortal Eye and allow it to reach the point of life and soul synthesis?
