Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 575 First Tomb Exploration
"Speaking of bloodlines..."

Lin Jing recalled.

It seems I still have a pet egg with the bloodline of a Celestial Lord that hasn't hatched yet.

Back then, the mechanical turtle accidentally discovered the secret realm of Tianyuan's Immortal Palace, and Lin Jing went inside to explore it.

It was there that Xing Shouhe made his contract.

Ultimately, he made a shady deal with the spirit of the internal relic mechanism by using the materials of the mechanism.

The three celestial palaces' rewards... I took the Immortal Cloud Protection Talisman the first time, and haven't used it yet.

Besides the talisman, there are two other rewards inside: an Ascension Pill and a pet egg with a Monarch-level bloodline.

These two items were actually taken from the spirit of the ruins by Lin Jing in the Origin Realm over the next two hundred years.

However, the Ascension Pill was useless, and the pet egg required a cultivator with an immortal body to recognize its master by dripping blood and hatch it, which was also useless to the forest realm at that time.

Therefore, Lin Jing did not send him back to the Origin Realm, but instead had him thrown into his own lair.

It didn't work before... but things are different now. Because he merged with the Heavenly Mandate, he obtained the Immortal Body. After returning, he might be able to immediately hatch that Immortal Lord-level pet egg...

This will be another great help to me.

The Heavenly Emperor Queen Frog continued her arduous cultivation. According to the remnant soul of the immortal, there was a basic pressure outside the Heavenly Emperor's tomb. Only those who reached the Nascent Soul stage would have the opportunity to withstand the pressure and move around in the tomb.

From Core Formation to Nascent Soul, it might take an ordinary demon beast hundreds of years to cultivate. However, with a constant supply of resources, the Heavenly Emperor Queen Frog achieved the Nascent Soul stage in just ten years. And this was within a space with a different time flow; in the real outside world, only a very short time had passed.

pity.

Dragon Carp is not very skilled.

Even now, the "Wordless Plaque" is still not finished. Otherwise, if they could use a mid-grade immortal artifact to assist their cultivation, their cultivation speed would definitely be able to be increased even further.

Even the blank plaque wasn't finished yet, so Long Li had even less energy to repair the equally important mysterious bronze mirror for the time being.

"Let's go explore it for the first time. If this remnant of the immortal soul is unreliable, it will save us from wasting too much time."

As soon as the Heavenly Emperor Queen Frog reached the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Jing immediately shook awake the remnant soul of the immortal he had sealed away.

"No, stop shaking it, or your soul will be scattered."

"Take me to the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb and show me the way." Lin Jing looked at the remnant soul of the immortal.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll lead the way..."

As the remnant soul of the immortal headed straight for the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, Lin Jing's true consciousness also entered the primordial spirit space within his body.

Having just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and become a demon king, the Heavenly Emperor Frog's confidence soared, and he became even more courageous. He challenged the Mosquito King, but was subsequently soundly beaten by the Mosquito King and fled back to a corner to recover from his injuries with a crane feather.

"Croak!!!"

The Heavenly Emperor and Queen Frog were furious. This Mosquito King lacked martial ethics; unable to defeat him, he resorted to wielding his minions.

The Mosquito Beasts are a monstrous race; the more of them they gather, the stronger they become, making them impossible to defeat.

"Judging from your appearance, your Great Love Without Borders skill... can be said to have made no progress whatsoever." Lin Jing descended to the side of the Heavenly Emperor Frog.

The Heavenly Emperor and Queen Frog themselves chose the "Boundless Love Technique," but they are still using the demonic power in their bloodline to fight instead of using the true energy of great love. It's clear that their cultivation is inadequate.

Upon seeing Lin Jing, the Heavenly Emperor Frog shuddered and immediately stood up.

"Croak, croak." It indicated that it really didn't have the ability to fall in love with mosquitoes, but it reassured Lin Jing that it was already improving the "Boundless Love Technique" and would soon master it. "Or, I could catch a few beauty frogs and have the leaf rat combine them with the mosquitoes to create beauty frogs, so they can adapt step by step?"

The Heavenly Emperor and the Frog shook their heads in terror, frantically shouting, "No!!"
“Even without mentioning the ‘Boundless Love’ technique, your combat strength is progressing too slowly.” Lin Jing looked at the Heavenly Emperor Frog: “We are about to go back to take revenge on the Blood Demon God. With your current strength, you may not even be qualified to participate, let alone be of any help.”

The Heavenly Emperor and the Frog were startled.

"This won't do," it couldn't help but say.

But... it has already tried its best.

For more than a decade, he fought day and night, and in order to help Crane Fairy take revenge, he didn't even sleep. He fought, healed his wounds, and cultivated... over and over again.

"Look at you, you're so anxious you're even talking like a human being," Lin Jing said. "There's still one chance."

"Next, I will take you to your ancestor's tomb. Your ancestor was an extremely powerful cultivator. When you arrive at the tomb, you should sincerely worship your ancestor. If your ancestor manifests his power and you can receive his protection, then you may have a chance to catch up with the other guys in the shortest amount of time."

"However, that tomb is quite risky, with an extremely high mortality rate, unlike these mosquito beasts. Are you willing to go?"

"It's possible, I really could die."

Upon Lin Jing's inquiry, the Heavenly Emperor Frog, without a second thought, croaked and indicated that it would go.

Lin Jing enveloped the Heavenly Emperor Frog with his divine sense, confirming that it genuinely wanted to go through the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb to become stronger and then help Xing Shouhe take revenge. He nodded, though he didn't understand. But since the Heavenly Emperor Frog was willing to go, that was enough.

Because he wasn't sure if the Heavenly Emperor's wife, the frog, would be able to return alive after going to the Heavenly Emperor's tomb.

The imperial tomb is shrouded in mystery; no one can say for sure what happens inside.

It is highly possible that the Heavenly Emperor and the Frog died inside.

All Lin Jing could do was provide the Heavenly Emperor Frog with sufficient security after it willingly went there.

contract.

"As long as this contract remains intact, even if you die in the tomb, I can resurrect you using the Beast Taming Secret Technique. Looking across the entire cultivation world, I have yet to encounter an enemy who can erase the very traces of this contract, but..."

This is, after all, the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb. Not to mention erasing the traces of the contract, it's possible that they could find him by following the cause and effect of the contract. This would be the biggest risk he would take this time. However, Lin Jing quickly shook his head. He wasn't that unlucky.

The remnant soul of the immortal is still alive and well. As long as the Heavenly Emperor and his consort are not disturbed and are instead offered sincere sacrifices to their ancestors, the Imperial Tomb has no reason to kill the descendants of the Heavenly Emperor.

Shortly after.

Lin Jing arrived at the depths of the ocean. As time passed, the location of the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb was now in a different dimension at the bottom of the deep sea, connected by an ancient tomb door.

The tomb entrance was already dilapidated and could be entered without mastering spatial powers. Lin Jing did not follow the Heavenly Emperor Frog inside. After watching it enter the tomb, he waited outside, lest the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb not recognize him...

Upon entering the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog, carrying a daunting task, swallowed hard as a breathtaking scene unfolded before her eyes.

Thousands upon thousands of stone figures, like heavenly soldiers and generals, guarded the outermost perimeter of the tomb. Each stone figure held a decayed, low-grade immortal artifact in its hand. The sheer number of these low-grade immortal artifacts was truly astonishing.

However, Lin Jing had already heard about all of this from the remnant soul of the immortal and had also informed the Heavenly Emperor and Queen Frog. These things... were not the key.

The key is to go inside.

Under the pressure emanating from one ancient stone figure after another, the Heavenly Emperor Frog hopped and bowed cautiously, making its way inwards. The stone figures seemed to possess sentience, glancing at the Heavenly Emperor Frog with their eyes, but did not launch a swarm attack to annihilate this intruder...

"Croak! (Ancestors above, the incompetent tigress frog comes to pay homage to the ancestors.)" To Lin Jing's surprise, the tigress frog felt that it was not good to come empty-handed due to too much pressure. After thinking it over, she took out a bottle of mosquito blood and a few roasted mosquito legs and continued to hop inside, seemingly wanting to offer them to her ancestors.
