Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 535 Chasing the murderer
The fact that the Origin Realm has not nurtured any Immortal Origin is truly strange.

Not only the Heaven and Earth Sect, but also the Star Dust Realm, the Depths of the Vast Ocean, the Heavenly Demon Sect, Immortal City... all parties sensed something was wrong and began searching for the cause.

"Something's not right, let's take another look."

At this moment, Lin Jing, feeling somewhat guilty, decided to remain silent and observe the situation further.

"I don't know what's going on, let's wait and see. By the way, the group of Tianyuan cultivators I brought should all have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

Ten years have passed. With the environment of the Origin Realm and the resources he provided, Lin Jing felt that with the talent of this group of people, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage should be a natural outcome.

"Yes, they have all reached the Nascent Soul stage, except for Gu Qianqiu and Yu Xun'er."

"Well, those two are special cases, so they don't count." Lin Jing shook his head, almost forgetting about the two immortal beings.

"Have all these people already made contracts with spirits?"

The Goddess of the Underworld nodded and said, "They have all basically formed contracts with a spirit, but they are all from the new generation."

"What does 'new generation' mean?" Lin Jing had just asked when he understood before the Underworld Goddess could answer.

Oh, most of the contracts are between the original spirits and the offspring of the leaf rats!

"The social gathering was going smoothly until a spirit raised a question: what if we fail to leave the Origin Realm using the Beast Taming Technique? Will we fall into the void turbulence and die? Will we be stopped by heavenly tribulations along the way? After all, we've never done this before."

"In addition, the group of prodigies you brought back seemed reluctant. After the contracted spirits arrived in Tianyuan, they were released directly, hoping to contract a pet beast that could always follow them."

"These guys..." Lin Jing remained silent. They were all very enthusiastic at first, but why did they all back down when they got to the door? They weren't willing to take any risks at all.

However, it is only human nature.

"and then."

"So after discussions among all parties, it was decided that they would make contracts with some newly born, sentient, but not yet intelligent spirit babies. If they could successfully bring these spirit babies to the outside world, they would not mind waiting for the next round."

"We've waited all these years, so a little more time won't matter."

Lin Jing was speechless at the sight of these monsters. So, he was afraid of taking risks, but these monster cubs weren't? Were they not his biological offspring?
"Alright, you can decide for yourselves. Just let me know the final result." Lin Jing was busy preparing for the Millennium War, so the plan for the Great Migration of Spirits had long been handed over to Senior Brother Ouyang and Gu Qianqiu.

"Alright." The Goddess of the Underworld nodded.

Lin Jing returned to his cultivation, and two more years passed. Fang Baihua, the gardener of the pine leaf rat, became the first tester, contracted a spirit from the Origin Realm, and left the Origin Realm with the help of a pill refined by a dragon carp to break through the Void Profound Realm.

In the same year, a Nascent Soul stage beast taming cultivator was teleported into the Tianyuan Realm. He sent the news back to the Origin Realm and informed Lin Jing and the others. The plan was basically successful, and Fang Baihua successfully brought the Origin Realm spirits back to Tianyuan intact.

As soon as the news spread, the Heaven and Earth Sect was in an uproar. Countless Nascent Soul cultivators with strength comparable to Kong Xuan were even more eager to leave the Origin Realm.

However, the number of cultivators who can enter the Origin Realm from Tianyuan is limited, so those who want to take advantage of this opportunity to leave the realm must have to wait in line.

Furthermore, even if Lin Jing could send them all away at once, he couldn't do that. If they all went to Tianyuan Realm to improve, who would be responsible for working for him in Yuan Realm?

In the following years, Zhang Mingren, Jiang Lin, Jiang Qi, Qin Lei, and others returned to Tianyuan one after another with their own spirit beasts.

Meanwhile, every few years, a new batch of cultivators would be sent to the Tianyuan Realm, and the Linjing plan was basically operational. However, despite the smooth development of the Tiandi Sect and the Tianyuan Realm, ten years had passed since the day when the precious immortal source should have been born, but the cultivators of the Source Realm discovered that... the ordinary immortal source that should have been conceived this year still had not appeared.

"This is the Origin Realm..."

"In the end what happened."

"If the Origin Realm can no longer even nurture immortal sources, then it's not worth coming here at all."

"While the Origin Realm is indeed the place with the most abundant natural power in the lower realm, it is not impossible for the outside world to create an environment comparable to this place through arrays and human means. Breaking through to the Void Profound Realm sooner will also have its benefits. Besides, entering the Origin Realm also comes at a certain price."

Immortal City.

The new city lord, Wen Changge, was dressed in flowing white robes and possessed a gentle and refined demeanor. However, the fact that he had failed to cultivate any immortal sources twice made him show signs of frustration. Twenty years was an invaluable period for a prodigy like him. If he could consistently acquire immortal sources during these years, then naturally there would be no problem. But without immortal sources, this Origin Realm was not worth staying in for long.

"Relay this message to Senior Zhou again, telling him that something has changed in the Origin Realm. Not only are the Hundred-Year Immortal Sources gone, but ordinary Immortal Sources probably won't be born anymore either. As for the Thousand-Year Immortal Sources..."

"Do you think... it's possible that someone is secretly plotting something?"

"Could it be Lin Jing? Since I came to the Origin Realm, he has kept a very low profile and has never shown himself."

"Forget it, probably not. How could he have that ability?"

"Go ahead."

The messenger beside Wen Changge nodded in response and then found a way to leave the Origin Realm.

Pangu Continent, Immortal Cultivation Alliance!
"Hmph!" With a furious roar, a palace was nearly reduced to ruins. Upon learning of the situation in the Origin Realm, Zhou Banxian's face darkened. He had initially thought that with the Wen family's assistance, the Origin Realm could return to its former state, but…

"It's best if I don't find out who's behind this."

He thought about it and still felt that someone was secretly sabotaging things. The Origin Realm had been operating for so long without any changes, so how could it suddenly change like this?

“Origin Realm spirits? Heavenly Demon Sect? Or someone else, that immortal being?”

Zhou Banxian thought about it and felt that both were possible, but even so, it was impossible to determine who the real culprit was.

"Then let's try them all!"

"Nine Revolutions Star Lord, Heavenly Battle Old Monster, Void God Lord... Fellow Daoists, could you help me set up an array to deduce the strange events in the Origin Realm?"

"I plan to use my century-old immortal power to set up the Star Array and trace back to the cause and effect."

“Without roots or origins, how can we deduce anything? Why waste your energy, Fellow Daoist Zhou? Perhaps the Origin Realm has reached its end.” A voice came from the void.

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to worry. I simply want the truth. If it's truly due to natural causes, then so be it. But if someone is sabotaging me and trying to ruin my foundation, well..."

After Zhou Banxian finished speaking, he issued an order for all cultivators who had been to the Origin Realm, especially those who had come into contact with the Forest Realm and had seen the Canghai and Meteorite Immortal Spirits, to return.

He had no personal belongings such as the hair of the spirits from the Forest Realm or the Origin Realm. Since that was the case, he would use other people's memories of these people as a medium to deduce that the traces of their existence were a kind of connection with his true self!
