Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 564 - 19: Immortal’s Remnant Soul

On the other side, Porcelain City.

The Dao Alliance leader, Hu Yousong, personally arrived. With Lin Jing’s return, Hu Yousong guessed that Lin Jing was definitely coming home.

This Porcelain City must be Lin Jing’s current residence.

However, before he could go to the temporary address of Lin Jing’s parents, as investigated by the Dao Alliance, to look for Lin Jing, Hu Yousong, this Fake Pill Cultivator, suddenly felt a chill down his back.

His whole body halted in mid-air, shivering all over, and before he realized it, his entire body was bound by pure white spider silk, unable to move.

"This, this..."

Hu Yousong was greatly shocked and struggled hard, but still couldn’t move. Even the treasure armor given by his junior brother, said to withstand attacks from the Divinity Transformation Stage, and the talisman that could transform into a clone, were completely unresponsive under the spider silk.

On closer inspection, they were all frozen solid...

"Senior, not sure which senior this might be, I am Hu Yousong of the Dao Alliance, with no intent to offend."

"It’s you." A moment later, everything before Hu Yousong changed; darkness surrounded him as if he were trapped inside a giant white bird cage.

A spider-like creature descended from the sky along a white thread, landing right in front of Hu Yousong.

Hu Yousong was utterly shaken, unable to comprehend what this was. Wasn’t his junior brother very formidable? Why did everything he gave seem useless before this spider demon?

"S-Senior, you recognize me?"

The Ice Soul Gu nodded since it inherited the mother’s memories in real-time.

Regarding Hu Yousong, it naturally recognized him.

However, seeing that it was Hu Yousong, the Ice Soul Gu was quite disappointed!

Why wasn’t it an enemy!

After a task failure, the Ice Soul Gu had become stricter with the Child Gu, fearful of any accidents in the protection mission Lin Jing assigned to it.

Facing the death penalty from the Mother Gu, the Child Gu executed security missions even more rigorously.

Just like in this Porcelain City, the Ice Soul Gu wrapped the entire city in a form of a birdcage using spider silk, allowing it to sense every practitioner entering or leaving the city instantly.

It intercepted those at the Foundation Establishment Stage or above, probing their intent, erasing their memory if deemed non-malicious, and letting them go.

Though tiresome, the Child Gu had no choice but to work hard not to disappoint the Mother Gu.

"Are you seeking the Master for something?" the Child Gu asked.

Its words brought Hu Yousong back to his senses, suddenly realizing the spider’s identity: "Master? Yes, I have business with Elder Lin and wish to give him this, with absolutely no malice!"

A token appeared in Hu Yousong’s hand.

The Ice Soul Gu examined it.

"This is the Dao Alliance’s highest enforcement token. Per the Dao Alliance, if one sees this token, no cultivator must resist or refuse the holder’s requests, or they would be acting against the entire Dao Alliance."

"I think, Elder Lin is low-key and might encounter some ignorant fellows. With this token..."

"Superfluous." The Ice Soul Gu shrugged, tossing the token back to Hu Yousong. At this moment, the Child Gu received a remote command from the Mother Gu, saying, "If you want to deliver it, just send it to Mount Purple Gold. The Master is there."

Mount Purple Gold? Jiangnan Practitioner Gathering... Elder Lin went there!

"Alright, I’ll head there immediately." Released from the bindings, Hu Yousong quickly turned away, not daring to approach Porcelain City again.

Meanwhile.

Mount Purple Gold Practitioner Town.

Lin Jing and Ice Soul Gu were strolling down the street, conversing.

On both sides of the street were shops selling antiques, elixirs, and magical treasures, while cultivators set up stalls with just a piece of cloth on the roadside.

Though Earth had many treasures, there was also much trash. Lin Jing couldn’t understand why someone would take pills freshly made from the assembly line last week, with some fluorescent paint added, and try to pass them off as Spirit Pills for sale; wouldn’t they get beaten up for that?

"This Hu Yousong actually found his way to Porcelain City, the highest enforcement token..." Lin Jing shook his head, wondering why he would need that thing.

If he encountered someone blind, he would just slap them to death; who had time for the Dao Alliance’s mediation?

However, since his family still had to live on Earth after he left, Lin Jing decided to accept the token as a gesture to the Dao Alliance. He was already an enemy of all worlds and understood the pressure involved, not wanting to make his family global enemies as well.

"This is currently the most precious item here."

After walking for a while, Lin Jing arrived at a ring stage, where on a large table three different rewards were placed at three different levels.

The championship prize was a quasi-low grade magical treasure.

The runner-up prize was a non-grade spirit pill.

The third place prize was a spiritual jade hosting a remnant celestial soul.

Lin Jing looked towards the sky. The organizers sure knew how to arrange rewards.

But it was understandable; the cultivators hosting this competition likely couldn’t detect the celestial soul within the jade pendant, probably assuming it was just a regular treasure infused with Spiritual Qi, valued around a few Spirit Stones, allowing practitioners to absorb the Spiritual Qi within.

Now, Lin Jing had two choices: disguise himself as a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, participate in the ring stage fights, and win third place to take the jade pendant.

The second choice... Lin Jing simply beckoned, and the jade pendant was in his hand.

Meanwhile, the prize on the table transformed into a spiritual jade solidified from a Magic Mushroom elemental spirit.

The contained Spiritual Qi and appearance were identical to the previous jade pendant, only the celestial remnant soul inside transformed into a soul of a Vermilion Bird.

Having seized the original third-place opportunity, Lin Jing also left an alternative opportunity for the other party, more suited for them to use. The Vermilion Bird’s soul could transform into a spirit pet, growing by devouring Spiritual Qi, and protect the jade’s holder.

After acquiring the remnant soul jade, Lin Jing slowly stepped into the void. The celestial soul inside seemed still asleep, feeble and less powerful than a Nascent Soul.

After stimulating the spiritual jade for a bit, the consciousness within immediately awoke, albeit groggily.

But the next moment, an astonishing power of possession emanated from within the jade, prompting Lin Jing to smirk coldly, realizing it wasn’t a fortuitous encounter but a malicious event.

The remnant celestial soul within the jade, driven by unclear consciousness and survival instinct, intended to possess the jade’s holder. However, it was backhandedly slapped back by Lin Jing’s hand, condensed with Immortal Power.

Slap.

The remnant soul instantly sobered up, clutching its face not far away, gazing in shock at the surroundings and Lin Jing.

"The void? How could there be a Void Profound Cultivator in the End of Dharma Era?"

"No, even if it is a Void Profound Cultivator, how could it harm me...Immortal Power? You actually possess Immortal Power?!!"

"Who are you?"

"Awake now? Judging by your state, you won’t last much longer. Before your soul dissipates, if you have any inheritance, hand it over entirely, making your end a bit more comfortable." Lin Jing took out a handkerchief made of spider silk, wiping his hands.
