Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 579 - 34: First Tomb Exploration

"Speaking of bloodlines..."

Lin Jing recalled.

He seemed to have an unhatched egg of a Pet Beast with an Immortal Monarch bloodline.

Back then, the Mechanical Turtle accidentally discovered the Secret Realm of the Celestial Essence in the Immortal Palace, and Lin Jing explored it for a while.

It was there that he formed a contract with the Star Longevity Crane.

In the end, he made a shady deal with the spirit of the ruins’ mechanisms, using mechanism materials.

The three rewards from the Immortal Palace... The first time he took the Immortal Mist Guardian Talisman, which he hasn’t used to this day.

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

Over the following two hundred years, Lin Jing had sent people from the Source Realm to retrieve these two items from the spirit of the ruins using mechanism materials.

However, the Ascension Pill was useless, and the Pet Beast egg required a cultivator possessing an Immortal Body to drip blood to recognize the master and hatch; for Lin Jing at the time, it was also useless.

So, Lin Jing didn’t have them sent back to the Source Realm but rather left them directly at his base.

It was previously useless... but now it’s different. He gained an Immortal Body from merging with Celestial Destiny, so when he returns, he might immediately hatch the Immortal Monarch-level Pet Beast egg...

It will again be a great aid to him.

The Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog continued rigorous cultivation, following the guidance of the Immortal’s remnant spirit. The perimeter of the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb had basic pressure that only those who reached the Nascent Soul Stage could withstand to move within the tomb.

From Core Formation to Nascent Soul, ordinary demon beasts might take hundreds of years to cultivate, but for the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog, with continuous resources, it achieved Nascent Soul in just ten short years. And this, still in a space with different time flow, meaning it was a very short time for the real outside world.

What a pity.

Dragon Koi’s skills were not refined.

Even now, he hasn’t managed to complete the "Plaque without Words". Otherwise, if they could use a mid-grade Immortal Artifact to aid cultivation, their cultivation speed would surely accelerate further.

Without even managing the "Plaque without Words," the same-level mysterious copper mirror, Dragon Koi temporarily has no energy to repair it.

"Let’s go and explore initially, just in case this Immortal’s remnant spirit isn’t reliable, we won’t waste too much time."

Once the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog reached Nascent Soul, Lin Jing immediately roused the Immortal’s remnant soul he had sealed.

"Stop, stop shaking, I’ll disintegrate."

"Take me to the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb, guide me," Lin Jing said to the Immortal’s remnant soul.

"Yes, yes, I’ll lead the way right away..."

With the Immortal’s remnant soul heading straight to the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb, Lin Jing’s true consciousness entered his Primordial Spirit space.

Just after breaking through to Nascent Soul and becoming a Demon King, the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog’s confidence soared, grew increasingly fierce, and went to challenge the Mosquito King, only to be beaten up, escaping to the corner with the Crane Feather to nurse wounds in disgrace. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Qua!!!"

The Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog was furious, the Mosquito King lacked martial virtue, failing to beat him and calling his subordinates.

The twisted Mosquito Beast race, the more they gather, the stronger they get, it’s simply unbeatable.

"By the looks of it, the Great Love Boundaryless Technique... can be said to have had no progress." Lin Jing descended beside the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog.

The Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog chose the "Great Love Boundaryless Technique" but at present was still using the demon power from its bloodline to battle and not adopting Great Love True Qi, showing it’s far from mastering the cultivation.

Seeing Lin Jing, the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog shuddered all over and stood up immediately.

"Qua qua." It expressed that it truly lacked the ability to love mosquitoes, but assured Lin Jing it was already improving the "Great Love Boundaryless Technique," and soon, it would be getting the hang of the cultivation technique.

"How about I catch a few beautiful frogs and let the Pine Leaf Mouse merge them with mosquitoes into Beautiful Mosquito Frogs for gradual adaptation?"

The Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog shook its head frantically, no!! Opposed fiercely!!

"Even without considering the Great Love Boundaryless Technique, your combat progress is too slow." Lin Jing said to the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog, "We’re about to return to avenge ourselves against the Prison Blood Demon God; with your current strength, you might not even qualify to step on the battlefield."

The Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog was shocked.

"How can that be." It couldn’t help but say.

But... it had already worked hard enough.

All these tens of years, fighting day and night to help Crane Immortal take revenge, not even sleeping, fighting, healing, training... repeating endlessly.

"Look at you, you’re so anxious that you’re speaking human language." Lin Jing said, "There’s still a chance now."

"Next, I’ll take you to your ancestors’ tomb. Your ancestor was an incredibly powerful cultivator, once at the tomb, you should sincerely pay tribute to your ancestor. If your ancestor manifests, granting you their protection, you may have a chance to catch up with some other fellows swiftly."

"However, the tomb carries certain risks, a very high mortality rate, much harder than these Mosquito Beasts; are you willing to go?"

"There’s a chance of truly dying."

Under Lin Jing’s inquiry, the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog agreed determinedly, quacking, expressing its willingness to go.

Divine Sense enveloped the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog, confirming its genuine desire to become stronger through the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb and help Star Longevity Crane in avenging. Lin Jing nodded, although he didn’t understand, but since the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog voluntarily desired to go, that was enough.

For Lin Jing also wasn’t confident that Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog would return alive after visiting the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb.

The tomb is mysterious; the happenings within are unpredictable.

Even if the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog dies inside, it’s highly possible.

What Lin Jing can do is to provide as much security as possible once the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog willingly goes there.

Contract.

"As long as this contract doesn’t tear, even if you die in the tomb, I can resurrect you through Beast Taming Secret Technique. Across the Cultivation Realm, I haven’t encountered an enemy capable of erasing the contract traces along with it, but..."

This is, after all, the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb. Forget erasing the contract traces along with me; even tracing the causal link through the contract and finding me is possible, which will be the greatest risk I bear this time. However, Lin Jing soon shook his head, not believing he’d be that unlucky.

The Immortal’s remnant soul is alive and well; just informing the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog not to damage anything and sincerely pay tribute, the tomb has no reason to destroy the Celestial Emperor’s descendants.

Shortly after.

Lin Jing arrived at the depths of the ocean; over time, the current position of the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb lies at the bottom of the deep sea within a different dimension, connected through an ancient tomb gate.

The tomb gate is long dilapidated, and one can enter without mastering Space Power, Lin Jing did not follow the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog inside; after seeing it enter the tomb, he waited outside to prevent the tomb from rejecting him...

Upon entering the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb, with a daunting task, the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog swallowed nervously, encountering a stunning scene.

Thousands upon thousands of stone figures like troops of heavenly gods guarded the outermost perimeter of the tomb. Each stone figure wielded a decayed lower-grade Immortal Artifact. Thousands upon thousands of lower-grade Immortal Artifacts, truly unfathomable.

However, these matters Lin Jing had already heard from the Immortal’s remnant soul and informed the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog. These... were not the key.

The key was to venture further.

Enduring the pressure emitted by ancient stone figures one after another, the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog hopped and kowtowed cautiously, hopping inward, the stone figures’ gaze seemingly spirited, eyes turning to glance at the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog without rallying together to attack and annihilate this invader...

"Qua! (Ancestor above, humble successor frog comes to honor ancestors.)" To Lin Jing’s surprise, due to immense pressure, the Celestial Emperor’s Successor Frog felt it’s inappropriate to arrive empty-handed, considering repeatedly, it took out a bottle of mosquito blood and several roasted mosquito legs, and continued to hop inward, apparently wishing to offer to the ancestor.
