Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 578 - 33: Return Countdown

The Celestial Destiny has changed hands, and because Lin Jing merged with the Celestial Destiny, he obtained the Immortal Body in advance.

On the other side, due to the detachment of the Celestial Destiny, the lightning source mastered by Zhu Yan also lost its power, reverting to its original state.

The Immortal Lightning experience card has expired...

Lin Jing looked at Zhu Yan, who was heavily panting and extremely weak, and said, "Thank you for fulfilling this, my friend. When you return to that realm, feel free to find me on the Pangu Continent. I am willing to grant you Immortal Sources to help Brother Zhu gain Immortal Power and compensate for the loss."

"Thank you." Zhu Yan smiled, not thinking Lin Jing was deceiving him, after all, he was indeed the king of the Lower Realm’s Immortal Sources.

"Perhaps this is the best result. My path is the path of gratitude. The purpose of becoming stronger is to not let my master down and to protect his legacy."

"Speaking of what is the greatest threat to us in the Lower Realm now, it must be the Celestial Demon Sect."

"My strength is not as great as Brother Lin’s. Even if I acquired the Celestial Destiny, I might not be able to end the existence of the Celestial Demon Sect. But in Brother Lin’s hands, it’s different. The Celestial Demon Sect’s demise may even benefit me."

"Achieving a similar goal without exerting effort, why not?"

Zhu Yan had no great ambitions; he only thought of repaying his master’s nurturing grace and ensuring peace. Therefore, he was not too obsessed with the Celestial Destiny, otherwise, he wouldn’t have given it up so easily.

"You are optimistic," Lin Jing thought. Such a mindset is good for cultivating immortality. With too deep an obsession, one may not necessarily tread far.

Often those who survive to the end are the optimistic ones like them.

Lin Jing wasn’t too different.

He didn’t have much obsession with ascending to the Immortal Realm or becoming the strongest.

Purely for self-preservation, he somehow established many enemies, and then to deal with the enemies, he had to become stronger.

So he felt that his limits might depend on the realm of his enemies.

After returning, there’s still the identity of the enemies of all realms, so Lin Jing cannot abandon this Celestial Destiny.

Without the Celestial Destiny, he wouldn’t know how long it takes to grow into an Alliance Leader-level Seeking Dao Cultivator. Maybe with the Primordial Spirit of the Immortal Way, he could reach the level of a Half-Immortal Zhou, but that would be far from enough.

Half-Immortal Zhou is not even the strongest in the Cultivation Alliance.

Even with the combined forces of the Cultivation Alliance, including "Fishing Elder," "Myrmidon Taoist Nun," and "Eternal Emperor Sovereign," they are still at a disadvantage when facing the Celestial Demon Realm.

Although the Cultivation Alliance and the Celestial Demon Realm appear evenly matched now, the reality is...

The forces of the Celestial Demon Realm are scattered across myriad worlds, invading one after another cultivation realm, and while they execute tasks, they draw a small portion of their power to deal with the ever-disruptive Cultivation Alliance.

Thus, he must acquire power stronger than the three great Alliance Leaders to have a chance to destroy the Celestial Demon Sect and also have a chance to protect himself and shelter the Celestial Essence.

Now, having acquired the Immortal Body, Lin Jing only needs to elevate his Cultivation Realm through the Celestial Demon Body to the Realm of Seeking Path. Then he would be confident to combine with Immortal Power to confront Alliance Leader-level powerhouses and directly rank among the top powerhouses in the Lower Realm.

And this is just the beginning.

As he develops the Celestial Destiny further, just as that Emperor said, he will eventually become like the young Immortal Emperor, able to sweep away the Celestial Demon Cultivators of the Lower Realm and thwart the ambitions of the Demon Lord.

The reason for instructing Zhu Yan to wait for him on the Pangu Continent after going back is because Lin Jing already has the confidence, with his future strength, to lead the Celestial Essence Realm and rid itself of the identity of enemies of myriad worlds, becoming one of the leaders of the Cultivation Alliance against the Celestial Demon Sect.

"I’m very curious, what will be Brother Lin’s path?"

"I don’t know either, the process of Seeking Dao, who can say for sure." Lin Jing slowly said, "But I can be certain that it is not the future planned for me by that Emperor. Although I will find ways to solve the Celestial Demon Sect, it’s only because their existence affects me."

"Longevity, power, wealth, beauty, revenge, protection, understanding of the world, control over destiny... Every cultivator may have their own cultivation goals, and these goals may keep changing throughout their cultivation journey. But the feeling Brother Lin gives me is that he doesn’t seem to particularly care about these. I hope that after Brother Lin seeks the path, we can learn what path Brother Lin chooses."

"Then... we’ll drink heartily again." Zhu Yan finished speaking, and a ripple of space appeared around him. A mini, illusionary figure appeared, the servant of that Emperor, who looked at Lin Jing and Zhu Yan... 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Three people, one has already died."

"One has lost the will to compete for the Celestial Destiny."

"So it seems that the person of stellar fate will not change again."

"So, you two, do you want to return now?"

Lin Jing looked at Zhu Yan, who immediately said, "Could I have a day to bid farewell to friends and relatives? After a day, I choose to return to the Cultivation Realm."

Though he owed gratitude to both sides, Zhu Yan felt that on earth, there shouldn’t be too big a crisis. After all, the strongest cultivator here might only be of the Fake Pill, and with the backup plans he left behind, his sect could surely grow peacefully.

Moreover, Zhu Yan understood that even if he could stay, Lin Jing would not allow a Void Profound perfect stage cultivator like him to remain on earth as an uncertain hidden threat.

"Alright." The Emperor’s servant nodded.

Even though this person didn’t acquire the Celestial Destiny, as the first cultivator acknowledged by it, clearly he also bears great fortune, although he has been diligently cultivating and hasn’t been able to manifest it.

When he returns to the Cultivation Realm, perhaps he could be a backup for Lin Jing to resist the Celestial Demon Sect.

At this point, Lin Jing also said, "I may need to stay for a while longer."

The Celestial Emperor’s Tomb.

Although he successfully acquired the Celestial Destiny, the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb... Lin Jing does not wish to give it up.

He needs to quickly nurture the Celestial Emperor’s Frog, then let it explore the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb, seize enough benefits, and then leave.

After all, the next time he might not return to earth. More importantly, Lin Jing still wants to spend more time with his family.

After finalizing the return time with the Emperor’s servant, Lin Jing split into two, with his true self accompanying his family, while his alter ego turned into a steely instructor, continuing to train the Celestial Emperor’s Frog.

Unknown time later, the Celestial Emperor’s Frog unknowingly cultivated to the Demon Core Stage and even awakened its unique Demon Pill Divine Technique...

Lin Jing had always suspected whether it truly had the Celestial Emperor’s bloodline, but once the Demon Pill Divine Technique awakened, he had to believe it.

The Divine Technique, "Pulse Ascension Art."

It can temporarily elevate its bloodline level based on emotional fluctuations under different circumstances.

It appears ordinary, but such a divine technique generally only surfaces in descendants of demon beasts with an exceedingly high ancestral bloodline level. Otherwise, one wouldn’t have the capital to unleash the dormant power within.
