Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 570 Blood Demon Ancestor
"It seems I haven't gained the approval of destiny, but it doesn't matter."

Lin Jing looked in the direction where destiny had returned to its rightful place. Could that direction be Zhu Yan?

Lin Jing had a good impression of Zhu Yan.

Unfortunately, in the struggle for destiny, only one person is destined to be chosen by fate. He cannot give up this destiny based on just an initial impression.

"Shouldn't the other person have set off by now?"

He didn't rush to Longhu Mountain, but looked to the west, vaguely sensing a powerful aura that was no longer concealed and heading straight for him.

"Since that's the case, let's sit back and watch the show. Let me see how a cultivator in the Void Profound stage can change in strength after receiving the blessing of destiny."

On Zhu Yan's side, after merging with the Heavenly Mandate, his talent and potential were greatly changed.

He looked surprised.

The first thing to be changed was the side effect of the longevity body: the problem of cultivation speed.

After the Heavenly Mandate enhanced Zhu Yan's talent, his cultivation speed increased dramatically, giving Zhu Yan the feeling that his cultivation speed had become no different from that of an ordinary physique!
Although it doesn't provide a huge boost to cultivation speed like some special immortal cultivation physiques, being able to return to a normal cultivation speed is already a huge enhancement for a long-lived physique!

From now on, he will no longer need to consume dozens of times more resources than ordinary people to cultivate!
This is a manifestation of the changes in talent.

In addition, Zhu Yan felt that he had acquired a new physique, which he would tentatively call the "Heavenly Mandate Physique".

This physique instantly enhanced Zhu Yan's own Dao in an unparalleled way.

"The Way of Gratitude." Zhu Yan's Way is the Way of Gratitude. The sign that a Void Profound cultivator has entered the late stage of Void Profound is that he has found the Way that supports his cultivation. He transforms his Dao Heart and Will into the Heavenly Dao of the Void Profound Domain to complete the process of merging with the Dao.

The difference between the early and middle stages of the Void Profound Realm may not be significant, but against a late-stage Void Profound Realm cultivator who has already merged with the Dao, the difference is substantial. Unless one has other extraordinary means such as top-tier spells or excellent magic treasures to bridge the gap, it is difficult to be a match for a late-stage Void Profound Realm cultivator.

Zhu Yan was an orphan from a young age. He was adopted by his master and taught Taoist arts. After falling seriously ill, he was carefully cared for by his fellow disciples who had already embarked on the path of cultivation. He was very grateful to his master.

After transmigrating, although the cultivation world he transmigrated to was relatively safe compared to other cultivation worlds, Zhu Yan, as a longevity body, did not have a smooth start and was quite miserable along the way.

Until he was chosen by a Daoist cultivator, became his disciple, and was protected by him for thousands of years.

The other party also provided countless cultivation resources. Although the other party may only want to cultivate a perfect immortal body in his lifetime so that he can help protect his descendants and sects in the next hundreds of thousands of years, Zhu Yan is still very grateful to the other party for extending a helping hand when he was at his weakest.

Only after experiencing hardship can one truly appreciate the value of stability. Without his master's explicit instruction, Zhu Yan chose the "Path of Gratitude" for his Dao integration, to demonstrate that his master's nurturing of him had not been in vain, and that he would repay the master's kindness by protecting the master's family and sect for generations to come. *Buzz!*
After Zhu Yan's path of gratitude was strengthened by the Heavenly Mandate Body, his realm was quickly improved, and he instantly reached the Great Perfection of the Void Profound Realm without any obstacles.

In his current state, Zhu Yan even considered attempting to break through to the Dao in one go, to test whether his Dao was firm and powerful enough.

However, there was no time for him to break through now. Zhu Yan flew out of Longhu Mountain and directly into the starry sky. He judged that the other two transmigrators must have already set their sights on him.

A great battle is about to break out, but it must not take place in the place where he was born and raised, lest innocent people be affected.

A moment later, Zhu Yan arrived in the starry sky. During this process, Zhu Yan was surprised to find that his magic seemed to have been enhanced as well.

He specializes in talismanic arts and thunder magic, and has refined more than a dozen different types of lightning of varying sizes and properties. Now that his destiny has returned to his body, he has discovered that the origins of these lightning bolts are rapidly changing, containing the will of heaven. Regardless of their initial quality, they are all evolving towards more violent immortal-grade lightning, and the power of each bolt is no less than that of immortal tribulation lightning.

In an instant, Zhu Yan gained more than a dozen kinds of immortal-grade lightning, which made him feel a surge in strength. So when he saw that the person descending in front of him was an old monster in the mid-stage of the Dao Inquiry realm, he did not panic.

With the power of lightning amplified, Zhu Yan's divine sense also increased significantly, allowing him to discern the old man's true cultivation level at a glance... as well as the intense killing intent emanating from him.

"The Great Perfection of the Void Profound Realm?" At the same time, the old man in the Tang suit smiled when he saw that the Chosen One was only at the Great Perfection of the Void Profound Realm. He said, "Young friend, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let me tell you a story."

"Once upon a time, there was a wealthy man who believed that money could buy anything. However, it wasn't until he grew old, became physically weak, and suffered from various illnesses that he realized that money could not buy his health and longevity."

"He spent all his wealth and went abroad to seek the best medical facilities, but unfortunately, he still couldn't hold on for long."

"Fortunately, this wealthy man unexpectedly transmigrated to a world of cultivation. From then on, his luck became unstoppable. Not only did he regain a huge lifespan due to the activation of his immortal body, but he also encountered a dying demonic cultivator named 'Blood Demon Ancestor'. 'Blood Demon Ancestor' wanted to possess him, but due to his extremely poor condition, coupled with the fact that the wealthy man carried a protective immortal artifact brought from the ancient immortal realm, the Blood Demon Ancestor became nourishment during the possession process, and the possession failed."

"Now that he had the memories of the demonic cultivator, this wealthy man understood that in the world of cultivation, if a person with an immortal body wanted to survive, they had to use any means necessary, no matter how despicable the method... Only in this way could they achieve their goals."

"Did you understand?"

The old man in the gray Tang suit stared into Zhu Yan's eyes and said, "You rushed to the starry sky so quickly, which only exposed yourself. Are you worried that in the process of fighting for destiny, we might hurt some people you care about on Earth?"

"Even if you have merged with the Mandate of Heaven, my realm is still higher than yours. If I forcibly move the battlefield to China, what will happen to your previous secluded cultivation place?"

Zhu Yan took a deep breath, his eyes revealing displeasure.

"You've cultivated for so long, yet you still haven't been able to relinquish worldly desires and love. You're not suited to slay all the demons for the Immortal Emperor. Just honestly hand over your destiny. Even an ordinary demon cultivator like me can't handle it, so you're destined to fail in completing the Immortal Emperor's mission. Young friend... this is better for both of us, how about it?"
