Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 584 - 39: Blind Date

Lin Jing indeed entertained the idea of leaving descendants on Earth.

However, it wasn’t through traditional means of procreation, but through alternative methods.

For example, the mutated Spirit Spring water, after a secondary synthesis upgrade, could directly allow one to have descendants.

Or, simulating demon beasts with bloodlines above ancestral levels, and propagating a part of their bloodline origin into bloodline-inherited offspring, to have descendants.

In short, if he really wanted to, there were many methods, and the causal entanglement would be minimal.

However, these thoughts came about because he was affected by his surroundings at the time, worried that after he left again, his parents would miss him, so he wanted to leave them something to remember him by.

But after careful consideration, Lin Jing felt that doing so would be somewhat irresponsible towards his descendants; being born without a mother, and also without a father, was not the best choice.

But if his parents insisted on having a grandchild, Lin Jing would have no choice but to bear the hardship on his child... being an orphan it shall be... of course, Lin Jing didn’t think it would really be that much of a hardship for anyone.

Orphanhood combined with poverty is indeed tough, but a human offspring born at the pinnacle of the world, yet feeling bitter just due to a lack of some familial affection, seems overly pretentious.

In fact, Lin Jing also had an unreliable idea: leaving a Celestial Demon avatar on Earth.

Doing so had both advantages and disadvantages.

The downside was that losing the Celestial Demon avatar would cause Lin Jing’s overall combat effectiveness to fall, and without the Celestial Demon bloodline enhancement, his celestial demon-related magic would be greatly diminished.

But the impact wouldn’t be particularly severe, after all, the most useful aspect of celestial demon magic was the Celestial Demon Body, which only significantly enhances cultivators below the Realm of Seeking Path.

Now, since he obtained the Celestial Destiny, without the negative impact of the Longevity Body, it wouldn’t take him long to cultivate to the Realm of Seeking Path himself, by then, the Celestial Demon Body would be dispensable, since it can’t be relied upon to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, the avatar doesn’t currently play a decisive role in boosting Lin Jing’s combat strength; it’s more about dealing with enemies he could already handle with or without the avatar, and against foes he couldn’t defeat, having another avatar made no substantial difference.

The advantage, however, is that the strength of the avatar, in what is currently Ancient Immortal Realm Earth, stands at the pinnacle; leaving the avatar behind not only allows it to accompany his family, but also to deeply explore the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Lin Jing’s stay on Earth was too brief to completely uncover the secrets of the Ancient Immortal Realm in this short time, but the avatar could fulfill this task in his stead.

Moreover, Lin Jing shared the worries of the consciousness within the Emperor’s Tomb.

With the revival of Spiritual Qi on Earth, and the Eastern Emperor being capable of sending them back to Earth, what about other Immortal Emperors, like the Demon Lord? Could they find a way to send cultivators from the Celestial Demon Realm... to Earth, to explore the Ancient Immortal Realm?

It should be known that the Demon Lord holds the Celestial Dao Treasure, so it’s entirely possible. Leaving the avatar on Earth, should the day come when Earth faces an invasion, even if the avatar isn’t a match for the enemy, it could at least protect a handful of family and friends, ensuring their safety.

Additionally, leaving the avatar on Earth would be akin to leaving a beacon.

The avatar is not only a part of Lin Jing but is also bound to him by a contract; by then, even if Emperor’s subordinates can’t send him back to Earth, Lin Jing could use this connection to find a way back to Earth himself.

By that time, he would develop within the Cultivation Realm.

The avatar would explore various secrets on Ancient Immortal Realm Earth, strengthening itself.

If they could reunite in the future and merge into one, its potential might outshine when both develop separately. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Of course, currently, the avatar has also broken through to the Void Profound stage and can perform another possession; if a strong physique is obtained in this possession, the avatar would be far from dispensable. Furthermore, in battles with Celestial Demons, the Celestial Demon avatar might gain enormous benefits, therefore... Lin Jing was somewhat torn about whether to keep the avatar or not.

"I don’t know what method you plan to use... but if you refuse the blind date, you might need to speak to our parents yourself."

Lin Lan shrugged, interrupting Lin Jing’s thoughts.

"Because she’s the descendant of an old acquaintance? Do I know her?" Lin Jing asked.

"Yes, it’s Uncle Fang," Lin Lan said. "Back when you were being treated, he even pulled some strings to help you find well-known doctors abroad."

"I remember now." Lin Jing scratched his head; the Uncle Fang mentioned is his father’s childhood friend. Lin’s dad has always been doing jade business domestically, while Uncle Fang settled abroad for business development long ago and doing better.

Before his transmigration, he was bedridden with an illness deemed terminal, and domestic treatment was virtually impossible, leaving only the option to await death.

However, how could he simply give up on treatment? Lin’s dad sought various methods, including introducing foreign medical technology...

In result... due to these efforts, some of his body indicators slightly improved, though the effect wasn’t significant overall.

"That would indeed be hard to refuse... wait, doesn’t the other party know I’m already dead?"

"Ghost marriage, are you kidding me?"

Lin Lan said: "Haha, don’t worry, they just have the intention, not really making decisions to set up a blind date for you."

"I guessed as much." Lin Jing spoke.

"So what’s the situation exactly?" Lin Jing wasn’t in the habit of using his Celestial Demon’s Divine Sense to probe the minds of friends, family, or pet beasts, waiting for Lin Lan’s explanation.

"With the revival of Spiritual Qi, there are cultivators everywhere worldwide, including abroad... Where Uncle Fang is, there’s a cultivator organization secretly researching supernatural powers, causing pollution, and everyone in the city contracted the ’silver hair disease’."

"Although it’s yet to be determined what effects this ’silver hair disease’ has on the body, Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang have already planned to leave there."

"After hearing this, our parents got worried about their health and urged them to return home quickly, wanting you and me to check on their condition."

"Moreover, Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang’s daughter is about your age, so if possible... um."

"As for your ’coming back from the dead’... it’s easy to explain by saying you weren’t really dead; a cultivator took you to heal and train."

"I see," Lin Jing said. "Since there hasn’t been an actual arrangement, forget it, let them come; no matter what health issues they face, I can heal them, which also repays the favor."

"But as you mentioned, the descendant of an old acquaintance... is also a cultivator, what’s going on with Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang’s daughter?"

"She went to school abroad, and some time ago, the entire school conducted blood tests and then sent everyone with cultivation potential to a supernatural school for training, thus starting her cultivation journey. However, due to the ’silver hair disease’ there, everything turned into chaos, and the school got suspended."

"Though in these matters, that side acted quite swiftly." Lin Jing commented lightly. Domestically, cultivation is still transmitted only within families and between masters and disciples. Experts continue debunking myths about immortals and spirits among ordinary people, making the hunt for cultivation talents significantly slower.

If it were Hu You Song, he would’ve long started choosing talents at the prime cultivation age among students to publicly teach the basics of Spiritual Qi breathing techniques.

Earth is unlike the class-rigid Cultivation Realm; the revival of Spiritual Qi marks shifts in the new landscape, and falling behind makes catching up a real challenge.
