Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 594 - 47: I Am the Celestial Tribulation!

Though Lin Jing is in the Seeking Path state, he hasn't left seclusion. He still needs to protect his pet beast and harmonize with the Mechanical Turtle to control the Immortal Sword.

At the same time, even within the great Celestial Array, despite its concealment, a hint of breakthrough aura from Lin Jing still made the continent tremble.

Various Seeking Path consciousnesses approached this place, intending to investigate what manner of new ascendant this Seeking Dao cultivator was.

Since the opening of the Golden Era and nearly a thousand years of spirit monster influx, Seeking Path is no longer that rare, but this realm still undoubtedly represents the highest cultivation in the lower realms, deserving of attention from all sides.

"This place..."

"Immortal Prison Mountain, isn't this the territory of the Demon Court Saint Child... no, the Source Realm Overlord, Lin Jing?!"

Upon reaching Lin Jing's territory, these consciousnesses dared not probe deeper. The elder generation of Seeking Dao cultivators need not be mentioned, they witnessed the entire process of Lin Jing growing from a mere Beast Taming prodigy to the Overlord of the Source Realm. The entire Celestial Essence supply relies on Lin Jing overseeing the Source Realm.

And the newly ascended, all the more dared not offend.

The advent of the Golden Era enabled many Void Profound powerhouses from first-rate factions to successfully ascend to the Seeking Path, and most Void Profound Old Monsters had their chance to break through to Seeking Path within those thousand years.

Even if the ancestor of the Heavenly Lion clan were still alive, breaking through the shackles and ascending to Seeking Path would be no difficult task.

The Second Ancient Emperor's exploitation of the Celestial Essence Realm's potential opened the Golden Era. Initially, there might not have been any apparent feedback, but now, a millennium later, the overall strength of the Celestial Essence Continent has vastly transformed.

Although the number of new seekers isn't small, their strength is still far inferior to those of the established seekers.

Firstly, because the foundation of the established powerhouses is deeper; secondly, because they have a profound cooperative relationship with the Source Realm Overlord Lin Jing, allowing them to enjoy some of the Immortal Qi resources delivered from the Source Realm!

Thanks to the nourishment of Immortal Qi, this batch of old-time seekers, who originally had little lifespan left, are like living a second life!

No matter what identity these new seekers once had, they are all very eager to drink from the pool of the Source Realm, and naturally cannot offend the current master of the Source Realm resources, Lin Jing.

Even though Lin Jing's cultivation might currently only be at the peak of Divinity Transformation.

But everyone knows that it's just because the rules of the Source Realm restrict Lin Jing. Like the first batch of prodigies who entered the Source Realm, most have already successfully sought the Dao. Lin Jing is far stronger than them, and once he returns, he is sure to quickly achieve the Dao.

Yet currently, no one thought it was Lin Jing breaking through just now.

After all, Lin Jing has only stayed in the Source Realm for eight hundred years. As a Longevity Body, Lin Jing could leisurely stay there for eighty thousand years without needing to rush back at all.

And non-native seekers, like those spirit monsters, are even less likely to intrude upon Lin Jing's territory.

Some of those spirit monsters, with a bit more seniority, were even among Lin Jing's followers back then and have an inexplicable reverence for Lin Jing, having personally witnessed that unparalleled battle.

Therefore, after coming to the Celestial Essence, although Lin Jing did not make any special requests, they quietly adhered to the Demon Court and the Beast Taming Sect for cultivation, even helping with tasks like reforesting and increasing the ambient Spiritual Power concentration...

Until the Spirit King's seeking of the Dao, under the Spirit King's instigation, these spirit monsters began to assert their independence from the Celestial Essence natives, establishing their own domains as kings. After making this decision, the spirit monsters were worried about accountability from the Source Realm, even after having sought the Dao, still retaining a degree of apprehension towards Lin Jing, but fortunately, no word came from within the Source Realm.

As time passed, the spirit monsters became more independent, but still, the idea of forcing their way into Lin Jing's territory was beyond their daring.

"Scram!"

A moment later, a terrifying sonic boom emanated from Immortal Prison Mountain, causing the faces of those who sought the Dao to change dramatically... Peak of Seeking Path, and with mana so frighteningly abundant.

It was Mo Song beginning to drive people away.

Most were not surprised to find such a powerful presence hidden within Lin Jing's territory.

Lin Jing now presides over the most opulent resources in the lower realms, resources he can't consume alone, and would certainly foster his own team, independent from the Demon Court and the Beast Taming Sect!

Now, perhaps the situation was clear.

Perhaps one among those nurtured by Lin Jing had broken through to the Realm of Seeking Path. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Apologies for the disturbance."

The various seeking consciousnesses withdrew, though some remained ponderous.

"Is it just one of Lin Jing's underlings?" The Tower Master of Heaven-Reaching and other seasoned seekers were among the few who knew the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor would come to annihilate the world in a thousand years.

This matter, they hadn't told many, certainly not the spirit monsters.

These spirit monsters lack any sense of belonging to the Celestial Essence Continent, and if they found out about an impending apocalypse, they'd be even more eager to flee.

Should they flee, it would not only trigger the sword array laid by the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor but also draw the gaze of all the myriad realms, and Celestial Essence would be doomed prematurely.

But if kept unaware, Celestial Essence still has time to develop. When the time comes, they would have no choice but to stand with Celestial Essence against formidable foes, especially the Spirit King, powerful and proud, who might contend with the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor!

Plus, with the emergence of many seeking the Dao, combined with their thousand-year enhancement from Immortal Qi, the veteran powerhouses of Celestial Essence are now brimming with confidence.

Across the myriad realms... counting the spirit monsters.

Now, Celestial Essence's collective strength undoubtedly ranks in the top ten, maybe even top five.

Given the current strength of the Celestial Essence Continent, they don't know if they can resist the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, but Lin Jing, should he choose to return now, may very well find it not impossible.

Even though they'd advised Lin Jing to remain constantly in the Source Realm, so that even in defeat, the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor couldn't utterly destroy Celestial Essence; as long as a batch of people escaped with the Source Realm as a backup haven, they could rise again! The Cultivation Alliance initially was formed by a group of deserters, wasn't it? But Lin Jing never seemed like one to heed advice.

"No, it shouldn't be Lin Jing."

Given that if Lin Jing were returning, he should theoretically come back through the teleportation altar, and their consciousnesses, stationed at the altar, would have known if Lin Jing had returned.

What they didn't know was that Lin Jing had been sent back by the Emperor's attendant, not through the Source Realm's teleportation channel.

Next, the Pine Leaf Mouse, Dragon Carp, Ice Soul Gu, and Star Longevity Crane...

One by one, these pet beasts broke through, thanks to Lin Jing carrying Immortal Qi to replace the nearby Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Otherwise, centered around them, a vast area would become utterly barren of Spiritual Qi, rendering it a dead zone for cultivation.

Leveraging the resources brought back by the Mechanical Turtle and Lin Jing's own amassed resources, Lin Jing and his pet beasts took merely about a hundred years to complete the breakthroughs from early-stage Void Profound to the Seeking Path stage, encountering no bottlenecks at all, and the so-called Celestial Tribulation was a mere jest. The tribulation that cultivators dreaded, had not even the qualification to approach Lin Jing and company and was dispersed.

How can the lower realm's tribulation qualify to test those chosen by the ancient Immortal Realm?

"Since that 'Spirit King' desires to showcase its might through the process of overcoming the Ascension Tribulation, then let it be satisfied."

"Ice Soul Gu, you will transform into the Thunder Tribulation Gu, replacing its Ascension Tribulation, let's see how capable it truly is."

"For this occasion, I permit you to use the 'Immortal Mirror' as a tool of heavenly retribution."

"Let that fellow's Dao heart collapse, lest it harbors more unrealistic notions."

"Immortal Mirror?!" As the Ice Soul Gu appeared, its eyes sparkled. That mid-grade Immortal Artifact, capable of absorbing attacks and reflecting them back multiplied?!

"Hehe, I am the tribulation!!!" The Ice Soul Gu exulted, "Since that's the case, let's use the opponent's strongest attributes to smash them, planting a Heart Demon!"
