Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 561 The Tomb of the Heavenly Emperor

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Please spare my life!"

Seeing that the attempt to possess him had failed, and that Lin Jing had even more ways to harm his immortal soul, the remnant immortal soul immediately begged for mercy.

He felt bitter inside. He had finally woken up, but how could he encounter a jinx right after waking up?
He successfully possessed any other person who held the jade.

"Spare me?" Lin Jing said expressionlessly, "Give me a reason to spare your life."

"reason……"

"Your attempt to possess me just now was driven by survival instinct in a state of confusion, and since it did not harm me, I will not pursue the matter."

"But you made me waste my immortal power to resist, so you need to make up for my loss. Otherwise, I can only refine your remnant soul into a soul pill to make up for my loss of immortal power."

The remnant soul of the immortal finally understood.

This wicked star in front of me wants the treasure.

The problem is... he doesn't have any treasures.

Lin Jing stared at the remnant soul. Although he was a native of Earth, he didn't actually know much about the secrets of Earth.

This remnant soul of an immortal was most likely a cultivator from the ancient immortal realm, so it must know a great deal about the situation on Earth.

Perhaps we can pry some crucial information out of him.

"Fellow Daoist, look at me now, how could I possibly have any inheritance left?"

The remnant soul said sorrowfully, "But I remember my father was very powerful. Otherwise, if you had led me to him, he would have rewarded me handsomely..."

Lin Jing grabbed the other party and exerted a little force, causing the remnant soul to howl in pain.

"Who is your father?"

"Oh, I forgot, I forgot, but it should be very powerful. If I encounter it again, I should be able to remember it."

"Forgot..." Lin Jing shook him off. That's right, only a remnant soul remained. However, even the last immortal in the end times of Earth's Dharma era became an Immortal Emperor. The father of this remnant soul was probably long gone.

"What kinds of magical arts and supernatural powers do you know?"

"I've forgotten them all..."

Lin Jing remained silent for a moment, then decided to continue practicing.

"But please don't be hasty, sir. I still remember some things. When the Dharma-ending Age came, most cultivators left. Do you know why I didn't leave? Moreover, I was able to survive from such an ancient era to this day."

"explain."

"The Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, the Heavenly Emperor's legacy, would you like it?"

"I know the location of the tomb of a certain ancient Heavenly Emperor!"

"With the arrival of the Dharma-ending Age, the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb will be left unguarded. As the power of heaven and earth influences it, the various wonders inherent in the Immortal Tomb will gradually weaken."

"The reason I didn't leave this realm with the main group was because I wanted to take a gamble, to see if the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb's defenses were nearly nonexistent, and if so, see if there were any treasures inside..."

Turns out he was a tomb raider...

"Trying to steal the Heavenly Emperor's tomb? You've been foolish all along. As expected, you failed, didn't you?"

"Now, you're actually trying to trick me into following your old path."

“Hehe…” The remnant soul quickly added, “There was no failure, to be precise, there was no complete failure!!!” “Affected by the end of the Dharma, the various wonders of the Heavenly Emperor’s Tomb have indeed dissipated. For example, the giant puppets guarding the tomb outside have all turned into scrap metal over time and no longer possess the power of immortals and gods.”

"Unfortunately, affected by the power of heaven and earth, my cultivation level has been declining, and I have no choice but to seal myself. Before sealing myself, I took an expired elixir, which allowed me to prolong my life for so long. That elixir was a burial item obtained from the Heavenly Emperor's tomb!"

"Although I couldn't enter the main acupoint, I still went to the outer perimeter!"

"However, it seems that too much time has passed. My physical body has decayed, and my soul is now just a broken wisp."

This remnant soul of the immortal only remembers these things. It seems that his persistent tomb raiding before sealing himself away has become an obsession for him, making him only remember related matters.

"It's somewhat useful..." Lin Jing was almost afraid of gaining nothing at all. He knew that there must be a lot of good things on Earth.

Tomb of the Heavenly Emperor.

"but……"

"My cultivation is not high enough. How could I possibly lay a finger on the treasures in the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb? If you want me to die, it seems I should refine you first."

Lin Jing had no intention of tomb raiding, mainly because he was afraid of dying. Even if the immortal tomb's mystique disappeared, it was still the tomb of the Heavenly Emperor. He wasn't even from the Immortal Realm, so if something unexpected happened, he would die without a burial place.

"Ouch, no, no!" Seeing Lin Jing pinching his remnant soul again, and seeing that his soul was about to be scattered, the remnant soul panicked.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I admit it. I just tried to murder you, to kill you in the tomb. But I have a safe way to enter the tomb, a safe way!!!"

"If you promise not to kill me and to rebuild my physical body, I will tell you the safe way to enter the tomb!!"

Lin Jing continued kneading.

“The Immortal Tomb is imbued with spirit; if it were an ordinary tomb raider, it would naturally do everything in its power to kill him.”

"However, during the reign of the Heavenly Emperor, there were countless bloodlines and descendants. If a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor were to seek the protection of his ancestor in this Dharma-ending Age and retrieve some treasures to help him survive the Dharma-ending Age, the aggressiveness of the Immortal Tomb would be greatly reduced!"

"All I can recall is that my family is related to the Heavenly Emperor's family. It is precisely because of this relationship that I was able to obtain some peripheral burial goods and survive until now..."

"so……"

"So, sir, as long as you help me rebuild my physical body, I can go to the Immortal Tomb to retrieve the treasure on your behalf. Once the treasure is retrieved, we will split the profits fifty-fifty."

"You're plotting against me again. Looks like you're going to be utterly destroyed."

"Ah... 73, you get 7 and I get 3."

Lin Jing's only advantage over this guy is that he has immortal power, which can cause the other's immortal soul to be scattered, leaving the other in an extremely weak state.

If he were to rebuild the opponent's physical body, given that the opponent's cultivation level was so much higher than his own, he didn't know if the opponent had any tricks up their sleeve to kill him. Therefore, Lin Jing had to keep the opponent in a remnant soul state.

"There is another way. If you don't trust me, we can try our luck."

"If there are still people with the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor in the world today, you can train a new person to explore the Heavenly Emperor's tomb. I have a way to help you determine whether a person has a bloodline similar to that of the Heavenly Emperor."

"Even if the other party's bloodline is so thin that there is only a trace of connection, as their cultivation level increases, this connection will become stronger and stronger. With three hundred million beauties in the Heavenly Emperor's harem, their bloodlines are spread throughout immortals and mortals; it's entirely possible..."

"Do as you say. Serve me well. If we can truly obtain the treasure, restoring your physical body will be a small matter."

"But before that, do you still remember the location of the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb? If you dare to say you've forgotten, I'll refine your soul and search for it from your remnant memories."

"I remember." The remnant soul cried, "Why is it always about refining the soul?"

So many years have passed, has the environment in the cultivation world become so harsh in the future?
