Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 514 Successor

"That's it..."

After Lin Jing told Senior Shen Song about the arrival of the Heavenly Chou Demon Emperor and his agreement with the Heavenly Chou Demon Emperor, everything went black before its eyes.

"How could this be!" Senior Shensong's scalp tingled: "They even left behind a sword formation to seal off the Tianyuan Realm. Now, even if I wanted to leave the Tianyuan Realm, I wouldn't be able to."

"Within the sword formation, there must be her sword spirit that is in communication with her. If any creature in the Tianyuan Realm tries to escape, she will be able to detect it immediately."

"Senior, you still want to leave Tianyuan? You might as well just stay in Tianyuan Realm and retire peacefully." Lin Jing curled his lips and said, "Don't worry about Tianchou Demon Emperor. A thousand years later, I will settle things with her myself."

"It's fortunate that you encountered the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor, this eccentric loner. If it were any other Demon Emperor, he would have killed you on the spot." Senior Shensong said no more, "Alright, now that the outside world is safe, I'll take them back to Immortal Prison Mountain."

“No problem, but…” Lin Jing looked at Senior Shen Song strangely and asked, “Senior, have you switched cultivation methods?”

"Yes," Shen Song said, "He also switched to cultivating the 'Heavenly Demon Scripture'!"

"This demonic art still has a higher ceiling. The Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique will be passed down by your little squirrel!"

"Perfect timing," Lin Jing said. "I didn't bring back many gifts for you last time, so I'll make it up to you this time."

"Want to try the Celestial Body Refining Technique?"

"Although the Demon Ancestor of Refining Heaven has one foot in the coffin, by using the Heavenly Demon Scripture to seize his body, we can more or less extract some of his immortal body's essence and obtain the Refining Heaven Immortal Body!"

"Of course, this body cannot be used for long."

"When the time comes, after obtaining the essence of the immortal body, I will then possess other bodies a second time."

"The Celestial Body of Refining Heaven!" Shen Song's eyes lit up. "That sounds good. That old codger, the Celestial Demon Ancestor, has such poor development of his Celestial Body. If I had the Celestial Body of Refining Heaven back then, I definitely wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Why bother refining living people and ghosts? Just refine the entire cultivation world! Once you become the world lord, it won't be easy for the Demon Emperor Tianchou to kill you."

"Alright then." Lin Jing chuckled. It would be a pity to wait until he had finished picking the Dao Fruit of the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor, whether he killed him directly or refined him into a pill.

The Celestial Body is quite good, but the Devil's Taro will definitely have difficulty possessing it in a short time.

In that case, handing it over to Senior Mosong seems like a good option.

"Gu..." Lin Jing then turned to look at Gu Qianqiu, who had been standing to the side. Before Lin Jing could even call out his full name, Gu Qianqiu said, "Do you want me to help you guard the Origin Realm a thousand years from now?"

"How did you know?" Lin Jing asked in surprise.

“Since you will be fighting against the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor a thousand years from now, you will inevitably have to leave the Origin Realm and reach the Dao Seeking Cultivation level as soon as possible. But you are certainly unwilling to give up everything in the Origin Realm. At this time, if there is another immortal body to replace you in the Origin Realm, it would undoubtedly be the best choice.”

Lin Jing nodded and said, "Yes."

"Within the Tianyuan Realm, there is another immortal being, Yu Xun'er. However, her heart is in the ancient kingdom, and she is being nurtured by the first ancient emperor. It is estimated that she wants to become the third ancient emperor and compete with Gu Xinghe, Gu Youran and others. Her ambition is not here."

"I'm fine with it, but with my strength, I might not be able to perform well in a place like the Origin Realm." Gu Qianqiu looked at Lin Jing. Lin Jing had saved her, so she didn't mind staying alone in the Origin Realm for tens of thousands of years for his sake.

However, in the Tianyuan Realm, her strength might be comparable to that of a Dao-seeking level cultivator, thanks to her Heavenly Demon Body and Longevity Body.

But once she arrived in the Origin Realm, her mere existence as a Longevity Body gave her no advantage whatsoever; she might not even be able to defeat some of the Divine Body-level Nascent Soul prodigies.

Definitely the lowest level of the Origin Realm.

With such strength alone, how could they possibly seize the Immortal Source?

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Lin Jing said. “There’s still plenty of time. I’ll gather enough Dao Fruits for you…” “Dao Fruits?”

"Hmm." Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, "As long as you possess the spatial mastery of a Void Profound cultivator and the Daoist mastery of a Dao Seeking cultivator, even if you are just a mortal, not just anyone can defeat you."

"Furthermore, it is not difficult to cultivate a certain kind of acquired immortal body by utilizing the immortal source."

"Even so, it might still not be enough when encountering some abnormally powerful individuals, but if you can switch to the Beast Taming Technique, I can train many reliable pet beasts for you later."

"If you think there's no problem, then there's no problem," Gu Qianqiu said casually.

Lin Jing felt there was no problem. The Corpse Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor had already been killed. At that time, he would let Gu Qianqiu receive their Dao achievements, mainly the Dao of Corpse at the Dao Inquiry level. He would then leave the Immortal Beast Corpse to Gu Qianqiu. Even if her combat power could not reach the level of the Four Heavenly Kings in a short period of time, she would definitely be firmly in the second tier.

And this is just the beginning. As time goes by, the advantages of immortality will only grow. Besides, there are still thousands of years until then.

"Let's go back first."

…………

After bringing his people back to Immortal Prison Mountain, Lin Jing released the mechanical tortoise and began to cultivate diligently. At the same time, many geniuses on the Tianyuan Continent who cultivated the Beast Taming Technique were still fighting tooth and nail, hoping to obtain a special spot to go to the Origin Realm with Lin Jing twenty years later.

Three years later.

Lin Jing received good news: the Demon Emperor had spent over seventy years cultivating an immortal bloodline with top-grade immortal resources, and this also brought great news to Lin Jing.

"After becoming a celestial beast, its divine abilities evolve, and its power is greatly enhanced, especially when activated by celestial energy!!!"

"My holy son, do you know the coordinates of the Heavenly Cry Realm? I'm going to find the Demon Emperor Tianchou for a duel!" In the Demon Court, the tiger-headed and tiger-like Demon Emperor was extremely arrogant.

"You're being reckless!" Lin Jing quickly poured cold water on the idea: "At most, a Celestial-level bloodline is on par with some powerful top-tier Celestial Bodies. Even with rare beast abilities and top-grade Celestial Sources, it's only one or two levels stronger than the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor. There's definitely still a gap between it and the Heavenly Hatred Demon Emperor. Let's continue cultivating and talk about it again in a thousand years!"

"Alright." The Demon Emperor sighed. Could it be that he really had to switch to cultivating the song and dance techniques brought by Lin Jing?

"Your Majesty, where is the spirit of the elixir?"

“It’s been returned. You only borrowed it for ten years, but we’ve already used it for several years over the limit.”

"Alright, is there any top-grade immortal essence left?"

"There are many more!"

"I'll go get it. The pine needle rat has hit a bottleneck in its path to immortal bloodline. I'll see if it can break through using top-grade immortal energy."

Just as Lin Jing was about to retrieve the top-grade immortal source, the mechanical turtle sent back a message.

It seems to have found a relic, which has been sealed for a long time, with a stone tablet next to it recording information about the relic.

[Ascension Realm]

Those who pass the assessment will receive a treasure bestowed by the Lord of the Immortal Palace and will directly become core disciples of the Immortal Palace after ascension.
