Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 28Book 4: : Projection of the Strong

Vol 4 Chapter 28: Projection of the Strong

“Did Dragon Carp not get transported in?”

After entering the Cavern Heaven, Lin Jing realized the recently advanced-to-Nascent-Soul-stage little carp seemed to have been rejected by the Cavern Heaven.

“This unlucky kid.”

Makes sense—Beast Taming Cultivators are a weird group.

Their own cultivation level and their pet’s stage can sometimes differ by a whole major realm.

Generally speaking, the cultivation world tends to consider the higher of the cultivator’s or the pet’s realm as the true realm of the Beast Tamer.

For example, if the Beast Tamer is at Core Formation and the pet is at Nascent Soul, then the Beast Tamer is considered to be at Nascent Soul stage.

But this Immortal Palace Cavern Heaven didn’t seem to follow that rule.

“Luckily, I still have two other pet beasts, and my own strength isn’t weak.”

Lin Jing shook his head. If his combat power had relied solely on one demon king pet, and he, a Core Formation-level Beast Tamer, got selected into a Cavern Heaven that rejected the pet for being too high-level—he’d be screwed.

The pet gets blocked for being too strong, and the Beast Tamer’s whole combat strength is in the pet... good luck competing for any fortune.

At the moment, having entered the Cavern Heaven, Pine Leaf Mouse and Ice Soul Gu were raring to go. novelbuddy.cσ๓

And they held a seven-second moment of silence for Dragon Carp.

“Why’s there no one? What kind of Cavern Heaven is this?”

At first, Lin Jing saw no one—everything around was pitch black.

But moments later, as three figures appeared in midair projections, Lin Jing finally understood what kind of Cavern Heaven this was.

Projection Heaven.

Just like the previous Dragon-Phoenix Cavern Heaven, there was no competition between cultivators—everyone had their own independent challenge system.

Throughout history, many prodigies from the Tianyuan Continent had entered various Cavern Heavens.

When they entered, the strength they displayed was recorded and branded into the Cavern Heaven.

And those imprints were used in this Projection Stage.

Projection Heaven would select three prodigies of the same realm as the entrant from countless others, and the challenger could choose one to battle.

Fail the challenge, and your cultivation drops by a small realm.

Succeed, and you’d be rewarded with a technique or secret art from the Immortal Palace.

The three projections varied in difficulty—the tougher the projection, the better the reward.

“This is actually a pretty fun Cavern Heaven.”

Lin Jing looked at the three prodigies the Cavern Heaven had generated for him. One glance—and he was immediately taken aback.

The first projection was an old acquaintance.

Although the face was a youthful one Lin Jing didn’t recognize, the name and technique certainly were.

Realm: Early Core Formation

Physique: Creation Immortal Physique (can bestow spiritual awareness to mountains, rivers, plants, and trees, turning them into her servants.)

Cultivation Technique: Creation Immortal Art (derived from her physique, allows her to absorb power from the spirits she creates.)

Secret Arts: Tree Realm Array (instantly transforms multiple ancient trees into tree demons, forming a deadly forest array), Dragon Vein Sky-Clashing Art (awakens a dragon vein into a spirit dragon to fight), Great Flooding Art (spiritualizes a small lake and floods the field), Spirit-Sealing Finger (converts nearby spiritual energy into spirits, absorbing it all for herself and leaving enemies with none)...

Challenge Difficulty: High

Lin Jing: ?

“Holy sh*t.” Seeing the last projection, Lin Jing swore—Creation Immortal Physique, one of the Ten Great Immortal Physiques!

Luo Miao...

That name sparked a memory. He remembered—it really was her.

Back in the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing had studied the history of the Tianyuan Continent. He knew that the Immortal Palace had once been completely wiped out by the Immortal Alliance—formed by four top sects uniting numerous forces.

At first, he didn’t know much about these top sects. After the Immortal Alliance destroyed the Immortal Palace, that part of history was erased—at least within the Ancient Kingdom, it was hard to find any record of it.

But if you left the Ancient Kingdom—like coming to Qingzhou—you could still dig some up.

Luo Miao was actually the sect master of one of those four Immortal Alliance leaders—an Innate Immortal Physique cultivator.

This woman was unbelievably powerful. She alone made the Immortal Palace deeply wary and nearly shattered its weakened Lower Realm stronghold.

It was said that the Immortal Alliance had to deploy Immortal Artifacts and alter the laws of the Tianyuan Continent, restricting plants, rocks, and trees from developing spirits—just to counter her Creation Immortal Physique. She could freely awaken hundred-thousand-year-old spiritual plants and add them to her army... she alone could form a legion.

Sadly, no matter how skinny the camel, it was still bigger than a horse—the Immortal Palace still had deep reserves. In the end, they killed her.

But some speculate that if she’d survived the war, no matter how weak the Immortal Alliance became afterward, the Ancient Kingdom would never have risen—she alone could’ve left behind a terrifying heavenly army and ruled the Tianyuan Continent for a long time.

Five thousand years ago, during the Ancient Kingdom era, another Immortal Physique emerged in the Tianyuan Continent. Unfortunately, that one vanished without a trace before reaching even the Core Formation stage. Some suspect it was wiped out early by powerful figures fearing its potential.

“Can I even win this?” Lin Jing fell into deep thought. This Creation Immortal Physique was among the strongest of the ten. Without Dragon Carp, his battle power was limited. If he lost, he’d drop back to early Core Formation. But only by choosing her could he get the best reward—and fighting an Immortal Physique was a rare opportunity...

Who to pick?
