Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 581 - 36: Ancestral Manifestation

"At that time, my cultivation fell due to the End of Dharma Era, and my lifespan was about to end. Coincidentally, a statue shattered, and from it fell an expired top-grade Immortal Pill. Although it was expired, its effects could exactly extend my life, allowing me to seal myself to the present and maintain a wisp of remnant soul. How could such a coincidental thing happen?"

"Surely, the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb saw that I had a faint trace of the Celestial Emperor’s bloodline and was about to die miserably in this End of Dharma Era, and so it granted me a chance at survival."

"This is something buried with His Majesty the Celestial Emperor; which clan would dare use such a fragile statue? It must be the will of the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb!"

This was the statement of the Immortal’s remnant soul, and Lin Jing could only believe it, as the other party was currently the only living being who had entered the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb.

Therefore, Lin Jing did not reveal too much information to the Celestial Emperor’s Frog.

He only told it that this was the Tomb of the Ancestor, and as long as it worshipped devoutly and stated its requests, there was a chance to receive the Ancestor’s blessing.

The Celestial Emperor’s Frog knelt down again just outside the inner city, devoutly: "Croak, croak, croak."

The general meaning was...

Ancestral spirits above, the incompetent frog encountered a girl it liked.

This girl had a tragic background, bearing a vendetta of blood, her entire family exterminated by a demon.

Although it wanted to help the girl seek revenge and destroy the demon, its strength was too weak.

No matter how hard it worked, in this End of Dharma Era, it couldn’t advance quickly.

As the Celestial Emperor’s Frog, it was truly ashamed.

Thus, it requested the Ancestor to impart the way, to help the incompetent descendant fulfill its wish, to demonstrate the might of the Celestial Emperor’s lineage.

Bang, bang, bang.

Thump, thump, thump.

The Celestial Emperor’s Frog kept devoutly kowtowing, offering its mosquito blood and mosquito legs to the Ancestor one by one.

These... were all top-grade; it hadn’t even been willing to eat them itself.

One month... two months...

It didn’t know how long it had kowtowed, yet still, there was no change around it.

Even though the Celestial Emperor’s Frog had entered the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb, because of their contractual link, Lin Jing could still more or less know what was happening inside.

"Why has it taken so long, and still the statue hasn’t shattered?"

Lin Jing scrutinized the Immortal’s remnant soul and asked, "Didn’t you say that back then, you only knelt for a few days, and the Tomb manifested and granted you treasures?"

"In terms of sincerity, I believe my frog is far more earnest than you."

"Let’s wait a bit longer, a bit longer... don’t rush to conclusions." The Immortal’s remnant soul wiped sweat from its brow, feeling a bit anxious. If the damned star didn’t receive benefits, it would definitely be finished.

It didn’t know what was going on; it truly hadn’t deceived Lin Jing, recounting its past experiences honestly.

But why... was there no response to this frog’s kneeling?

Could it be that because of how long it had been, the tomb’s spirituality had deteriorated, unable to observe the situation of those who enter?

Or perhaps, this frog’s bloodline was too thin, much thinner than his, not gaining full recognition from the tomb.

It was also possible that back then, he was on the brink of death, and the tomb merely saved a life, whereas the frog’s aspirations were more numerous and too greedy, causing the tomb to ignore it.

The Immortal’s remnant soul pondered over many possibilities, feeling that they were all possible, but still hoped that the tomb would bestow at least a little, as this concerned its own survival.

However.

What Lin Jing and the Immortal’s remnant soul hadn’t expected was.

The expired Immortal Pill from back then was not at all a manifestation of the tomb, nor was it an accident.

"Sister, wake up, wake up."

In the third realm of the tomb, a voice sounded from the void, awakening an awareness body of an upright frog in a purple dress, wearing a flower crown, appearing like a middle-aged aunt.

"It’s you." In the dark space, the frog aunt looked up at a cat girl’s awareness body floating above.

"What happened?"

"It seems like a little one has arrived outside, who is of your lineage." The cat girl spoke.

"Hmm?" The frog aunt was startled, extending her awareness outward, immediately discovering the kneeling little frog.

"So it is. After all these years, I still have surviving bloodlines. But who taught it this, to come here begging? Such an incompetent descendant."

"When the End of Dharma descended, someone on the brink of death came in; a sister from Ling Fei’s line pitied him and concocted an Immortal Pill for him, maybe opening a bad precedent there."

"No need to pay mind; I can’t do things that break the rules." The frog aunt said, "Let it go on kneeling; I will continue to slumber..."

"Sister, don’t sleep. I feel, for His Majesty the Celestial Emperor, breaking some rules is no big deal." The cat girl said, "The tomb is now seriously damaged; although Spiritual Qi has revived, the tomb’s damage is hard to reverse. It’s fine now, but when the Immortal Realm recovers to seventy to eighty percent of its original state, it can accommodate the return of the Immortal Realm."

"Then, those who went to other Immortal Realms will inevitably remember this place, focusing their attention on the severely damaged tomb. At that time, the tomb may not have the ability to fend them off. Rather than letting unrelated people profit by then, it’s better to first send some unimportant things to your descendants."

"At the same time, when the descendants grow strong, they can, in turn, protect the core of the tomb."

"Furthermore, sister, your status is extraordinary. Even if His Majesty the Celestial Emperor were still alive, he wouldn’t blame you for your decisions."

The frog aunt fell into contemplation.

It indeed was different.

The majority of the Celestial Emperor’s concubines were taken after he ascended to the throne of Celestial Emperor.

But it had met him when the Celestial Emperor was still an unknown little cultivator.

It was originally the princess of the Immortal Frog clan... shared a past of exploring deep within secret realms and assisting each other in adversity with the young Celestial Emperor... and despite having other options, it saw the young Celestial Emperor’s extraordinary potential and continued to help him. The Immortal Frog clan also gave the young Celestial Emperor substantial aid. This friendship was extraordinary, so while most of the Celestial Emperor’s beauties strove to maintain their looks and vie for favor, the once-wealthy frog aunt couldn’t be bothered, doing what was comfortable, sometimes even being too lazy to transform into human form, but still retained an exceptional status.

Finally, in the Immortal King Realm, along with many concubines, it slumbered within the tomb.

"You have a point, but this young descendant of mine lacks ambition. Coming to seek the ancestor’s aid, it’s only for a woman, such lack of promise... wait."

Suddenly, the frog aunt furrowed its brow, noticing the mark of a contract on the Celestial Emperor’s Frog.

"What’s wrong, sister?"

"It seems, it didn’t find this place on its own, but someone is using it to seek benefits from the tomb!"

"Let me see, who exactly has the audacity to plot against my descendant!"

The frog aunt snorted coldly, realizing someone had schemed against its descendant. It transformed into a green light, entering the sea of memories of the Celestial Emperor’s Frog.

"Hmm? Celestial Destiny Man?!"
