Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 38 Blood of the Demon King

As far as Lin Xinghe knew, the probability of outstanding graduates from the Thirteen Immortal Sects advancing to the Nascent Soul True Monarch stage was less than 50%.

However, the probability of each of the sect's top masters being promoted to Nascent Soul True Monarch is as high as 70%, which is equivalent to reserving a ticket to the Nascent Soul stage.

The importance of the position of chief disciple of the Immortal Sect is self-evident.

The Lin family of the Cold Domain is indeed a prestigious clan with a reputation for being a True Venerable Clan, but the competition within the clan is fierce and opportunities are rare. In terms of prestige, it is far from comparable to the top sect of an Immortal Clan.

The reason Lin Xinghe can now run rampant in the Spirit Beast Pavilion of the Fallen Dragon Mansion is not because of his status as a True Venerable Clan, but because of the privileges of being the direct grandson of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

"My name is Lin Xinghe, sixteen years old, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, with a Water-Heaven Spiritual Root. I am confident that I will break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining in the future, reach the limit of Qi Refining, and forge a top-grade Dao Foundation."

He looked intently at the exotic spirit turtle and said confidently, "Would you be willing to become my companion beast?"

The baby tortoise paused, and began to seriously examine Lin Xinghe.

This was a privilege that no cultivator had ever enjoyed before.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If the other party successfully gains the approval of the spirit turtle, it will be difficult for him to encounter another fellow beast with such good fortune.

"Damn it, could it be that this kid has really put on an act!" Guan Ange narrowed his eyes.

Lin Xinghe was not a cultivator from the Fallen Dragon Palace. If he were to successfully contract the spirit turtle cub, wouldn't that mean that the Fallen Dragon Palace had no cultivators left? This was something he could not accept.

"roar."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the alien spirit turtle shook its head.

Water-attribute celestial spiritual roots are not unusual in the Dongxuan Immortal Sect, and even a top-grade Dao foundation forged by a Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator, who is at the limit of Qi Refining, is nothing to be proud of.

But to avoid missing out on its destined owner, it specially used its intuition to check.

Although the other party has an excellent destiny, it does not generate any spiritual awareness, indicating that the destiny is not compatible.

It is highly unlikely that it will be able to activate its ancient bloodline, break through its shackles, and transform into a fourth-tier mystic beast by leveraging the power of the other party's destiny.

In this situation, even if Lin Xinghe is absolutely certain of breaking through the Qi Refining limit, advancing to the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and forging a superior-grade Dao Foundation, it will not choose to form a contract.

After all, the Dongxuan Immortal Sect is full of cultivation geniuses!

If it weren't for the peerless hidden dragon mentioned by the ancestor, it wouldn't have left the Dongxuan Immortal Sect and made a special trip to the remote Yunlong Mansion to find its destined person.

Lin Xinghe took a deep breath, showing no surprise on his face.

In previous years, the cultivators who were able to become the chief of the Thirteen Immortal Sects were at least the most outstanding immortal talents in a province.

His talent would rank him among the top three in Yunlong Prefecture, but if he were placed in Tianyan County, he wouldn't even make it into the top 100, let alone Kaiyuan Prefecture, which is a level above.

Lin Xinghe had asked earlier because he was betting that his destiny, the [Mysterious Netherworld Dragon-Walking Destiny], could move the alien spirit turtle, but unfortunately, he failed in the end.

But it doesn't matter, he has prepared other means to seize this great opportunity.

"Even a Heavenly Spiritual Root couldn't be moved. It seems the Netherworld Spiritual Turtle places great importance on destiny." Chen Beiwu loosened his grip on his slightly white fingers.

"Good, good, Brother Turtle is awesome!" Guan Ange suppressed a laugh.

If everyone fails, it means that no one fails.

Even Lin Xinghe couldn't gain the approval of the alien spirit turtle, so his failure to subdue it is understandable. Therefore, his talent and aptitude are equivalent to that of a second-generation member of a True Venerable Clan.

Lin Xinghe stepped forward, blocking the spirit turtle. A faint light flashed from the storage ring on his finger, and a jade box appeared in his palm.

"It's the same old routine again." A hint of impatience flashed in the latter's eyes.

These second-generation cultivators from remote areas lack self-awareness, thinking they can be swayed by a few measly gifts.

It is not a simple, ignorant spirit beast.

If we're really comparing financial resources and background, let alone the Meteor Dragon Mansion, there aren't many guys in Tianyan County who can compare to it, as it comes from the Dongxuan Immortal Sect and is favored by its ancestor.

"Buzz!"

As the jade box was opened, a fist-sized red gemstone was revealed, its interior seemingly flowing with blood.

A terrifying and ferocious aura suddenly erupted, sweeping across the entire Four Seas Lake and alarming countless spirit beasts, as if the king of all demons had descended upon the world.

Under the shadow of this terrifying aura, the Qi Refining cultivators present felt their breath catch in their throats and froze on the spot, unable to even circulate their magic power or move their fingers. Only a few second-generation cultivators were able to barely keep moving by relying on their personal treasures.

The alien spirit turtle's eyes narrowed, a tremor from the depths of its bloodline making it feel as if it were facing a formidable enemy.

"roar!"

As the energy gradually converged, a phantom of a colossal beast with armor as thick as a mountain and limbs as strong as pillars of heaven suddenly appeared, letting out a roar that shook the four directions.

Upon seeing the phantom beast's face, Guan Ange couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Blood forms a shape from a drop of blood, its aura is immortal—this is the blood of the Fourth Realm Demon King, the [Canglang Xuan Turtle]!"

These words shocked everyone present.

A powerful being whose magical power has been tempered by five hundred years of cultivation and has condensed a trace of immortality is a third-realm demon general. Such beings are comparable to Golden Core cultivators and can annihilate Foundation Establishment cultivators with a single strike.

The legendary Four Realms Demon Kings are even more terrifying, with strength equivalent to Nascent Soul True Monarchs among human cultivators. They can condense immortal blood and immortal aura with a thousand years of cultivation, and are known as the King of Ten Thousand Demons by cultivators.

Even if such beings perish, the drop of their essence blood can retain their immortal spirituality, existing forever between heaven and earth. They can even use their immortal aura to suppress Golden Core cultivators, seize the bodies of Third Realm demon generals to undergo Nirvana and rebirth, and continue their own bloodline.

Thinking of the power and danger of the Demon King's essence blood, Guan Ange swallowed hard and subconsciously took a few steps back to create distance.

Although the blood of the Demon King is a level inferior to the essence blood of the Demon King, it is still something that ordinary cultivators at the Qi Refining stage cannot withstand.

If the True Monarch's prohibition within the jade box doesn't fail, that's fine. But if the prohibition malfunctions, and the Demon King's blood within the box regains its immortal spirituality and goes berserk, none of the cultivators present will escape.

Even though Guan Ange was carrying a Golden Core magic weapon and a third-tier talisman, he still had no chance of escaping with his life from the Demon King's blood.

Fortunately, this is the Spirit Beast Pavilion, where there are countless powerful members of the Immortal Alliance, so there is at least some safety guarantee. Otherwise, he would have already packed his bags and fled.

"If you are willing to form a covenant with me, this drop of the Demon King's blood will be yours," Lin Xinghe said in a deep voice.

At this moment, he has already used his trump card to secure the position of Chief of the Dongxuan Sect.

Although the Lin family of Hanyu is a true noble family, it does not mean that the blood of the Demon King is not precious.

On the contrary, the blood of the Demon King is a rare resource that even Golden Core cultivators covet, and even the guest elders of the Lin family may not be able to exchange for it.

But Lin Xinghe was different. He had a Nascent Soul True Monarch grandfather who shielded him from most of the pressure, which is why he was able to obtain a single drop with great difficulty.

The alien spirit turtle stared intently at the Demon King's blood, a hint of hesitation flashing in its eyes.

It had to admit that it had underestimated the determination and background of the Qi Refining cultivator before it.

If any other water spirit turtle had encountered such a treasure, it would probably have already submitted and acknowledged its master.
