Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 526 Dangerous Materials

"As expected of a celestial bloodline, his magical power is several times stronger, but his physical strength is still so weak."

After observing the leaf rats for a while, Lin Jing smiled with satisfaction. There was nothing he could do about their poor physical strength; leaf rats were not a species known for their physical prowess.

"More than that, I want to know if the power of the Glazed Immortal Eyes is stronger after advancing to the Immortal level bloodline."

"The divine power of rare beasts is the prototype of immortal techniques. Now, with immortal bloodline and immortal energy available, apart from not being a true immortal body, theoretically, it is only a matter of realm away from fully unleashing the perfect Glazed Immortal Eyes."

Lin Jing took out one hundred strands of the most ordinary immortal energy and placed them in front of the leaf rat.

"Let's give it a try and see if we can synthesize immortal energy right now."

He still remembered the request of the Furry Fairy, which was that the Leaf Rat should gain the ability to synthesize fairy energy, as well as the ability to synthesize life and soul.

If the former can also be accomplished, then the request of the Maotuan Immortal can be fulfilled faster than he imagined.

"squeak!"

The pine needle rat looked at all this celestial energy with a pained expression; it had to synthesize it all!

Try it.

Its crystal-clear eyes swept across...

A few seconds later, nothing happened.

"Direct activation is definitely not feasible; we must activate it with immortal energy."

Lin Jing took out a common, a rare, and a top-grade immortal energy and handed them to the leaf rat.

After nodding, the pine needle rat first consumed ordinary immortal energy to synthesize ordinary immortal energy... nothing happened, and it wasted a strand of immortal energy.

Then, he used rare immortal energy to synthesize ordinary immortal energy... and nothing happened again, wasting a single strand of rare immortal energy.

Looking at the last wisp of top-grade immortal energy, Pine Leaf Rat's hands trembled slightly. Should it continue?
Wasting ordinary immortal energy is one thing, wasting a strand of rare immortal energy is painful but still within acceptable limits. However, if one tries to use top-grade immortal energy to activate a divine ability and still fails to synthesize it, wasting a strand of top-grade immortal energy would truly make one a spendthrift.

You should know that this top-grade immortal energy might be more valuable than the life of an ordinary cultivator!

Or should we wait until we break through the Void Profound Realm before trying?

"Continue!" Lin Jing gritted his teeth, determined not to shed a tear until he saw the coffin.

Today he insisted on seeing if it could be synthesized.

"Squeak." Seeing this, the leaf rat sighed, "You still say you're not a gambling addict."

Since Lin Jing had made this decision, Pine Leaf Rat had no choice but to give some of it to the Demon Emperor for his breakthrough and another portion to maintain the Starry Sky Maze Array. After that, there were only nineteen strands of top-grade immortal energy left.

Two have already been used, and now we need to use one more, leaving only sixteen. These sixteen will be used to help the dragon carp break through to the Immortal level bloodline, and it feels like they are not enough at all.

"It's alright, one more or one less won't make a difference." After Lin Jing finished speaking, the Pine Leaf Rat directly consumed its top-grade immortal energy to activate its Glazed Divine Eye. Both the rat and Lin Jing were on tenterhooks.

Emerald light shone from the eyes of the pine needle rat, enveloping a hundred wisps of immortal energy floating in mid-air. Lin Jing was extremely nervous. Had he succeeded?

No, it hasn't succeeded yet.

We also need to see what can be synthesized from a hundred strands of ordinary immortal energy.

After all, it took a top-grade immortal energy to synthesize it.

If the combined result is less valuable than a single strand of top-grade immortal energy plus a hundred strands of ordinary immortal energy, then it would be a huge loss.

A moment later, the light of the crystal disappeared. Then, something that was both familiar and unfamiliar appeared before Lin Jing.

Upon seeing the dark mass, Lin Jing was stunned, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.

"What's going on? Isn't this the 'immortal power crystal' that Immortal Mao Tuan mentioned?"

[Dark Immortal Source: It can nurture top-grade immortal energy by absorbing the lifespan of the Origin Realm.]

Upon seeing this mutated black immortal source, Lin Jing fell silent. What the hell is this thing...?

One hundred strands of ordinary immortal energy were actually synthesized into an immortal source capable of producing top-grade immortal energy? This incredibly profitable synthesis left Lin Jing in disbelief.

However, the cost of using this Dark Immortal Source also caused Lin Jing some concern.

"These crystal-clear immortal eyes are like big data surveillance."

"I had thought about this before when I was in the Origin Realm: could I follow the example of the Golden Bell and accelerate the birth of top-grade immortal sources by compressing the potential of the Origin Realm?"

"It was this thought that led me to the idea of ​​studying the universe."

"But unexpectedly, before it could even begin, this Glazed Immortal Eye actually synthesized into a channel that could devour the lifespan of the Origin Realm and obtain top-grade immortal energy..."

Holding the Dark Immortal Source in his hand, Lin Jing felt as if he were holding a Pandora's box, because he didn't know how much of the so-called Devouring Source Realm's lifespan it was meant to devour.

Lin Jing was genuinely afraid that he might accidentally turn the Origin Realm into a dead star.

It's not that morality has been condemned.

Every cultivator is plundering the power of heaven and earth to achieve their own goals. There is no difference between picking a spiritual plant, killing a demon beast to refine pills, and refining an entire planet to increase one's power.

The main point is that the Origin Realm is of great importance; it is a training ground jointly transformed by many immortal forces for the geniuses of the lower realms.

It concerns the vital interests of countless people in the cultivation world.

If I were to turn the Origin Realm into a dead star, preventing it from ever giving birth to immortal sources again, the consequences would be far more severe than if I monopolized the immortal sources of the Origin Realm for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

If exposed, not only would one become an enemy of all realms in the lower realm, but if the passage between the immortal realm and the lower realm were to reopen one day, it would also be a big question whether the immortals responsible for transforming the source realm would hold them accountable.

“This is a dangerous thing…” Lin Jing looked at the Dark Immortal Source with a serious expression.

"But it is also an excellent thing. With this, you don't have to wait a thousand years to obtain the next wave of top-grade immortal energy."

"A cultivation planet has a lifespan measured in billions of years. It shouldn't be so easy for it to run out of lifespan and become a dead star, right?"

"As long as I don't let the pine needle rats synthesize thousands of Dark Immortal Sources to devour the lifespan of the Source Realm, and I obtain top-grade immortal energy in moderation, there shouldn't be any major problems..."

"After all, it would be too cowardly not to use something like this right in front of us. If used properly, it can be a powerful tool to enhance our strength and give us a real chance to fight against the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor a thousand years from now. If we die a thousand years from now and Tianyuan is destroyed because we don't use it, then what's the point of the Origin Realm being intact?"

But then again, wouldn't this turn him from a favored one of the Origin Realm's fortunes into a cursed one...?

"do not care."

Lin Jing put these things aside for the time being. He had been in seclusion for so many years, and his plan to return to the Origin Realm was only a few years away. He began to look through various communication artifacts to see if there was anything else he needed to do.

After looking around for a while, the only important thing is probably the message from the senior sister.

[Junior Brother, it's been a long time. How is your cultivation going? The date you're to lead a group of Beast Taming cultivators back to the Origin Realm is drawing closer. In recent years, the Beast Taming Sect has produced many promising talents, and other forces have also cultivated quite a few Beast Tamers. Do you have time to decide who you'll be taking to the Origin Realm? — Xu Qingyao]

“Well, speaking of which, I wonder how Gu Qianqiu is progressing in her switch to Beast Taming Technique. She should be included in this round of selections. Let’s get Gu Qianqiu a pet beast too, and let these Beast Taming prodigies decide the spots through a competition. This initial list will also give other forces a chance. We can’t do anything that disrupts unity,” Lin Jing said fairly and impartially.
