Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 597 - 50: Celestial Essence Realm Master

When Lin Jing left, he did not communicate with anyone. Ling Wang stood still, reminiscing about the shock he just experienced, breathing heavily, even though he was a stone man and did not need to breathe.

Others who had inquired also dispersed at this time, each harboring their own thoughts, knowing that the sky of Celestial Essence Realm is about to change.

"Too strong…" The Demon Emperor watched the entire scene, inwardly speechless. Although he had expected Lin Jing to defeat Ling Wang, he did not anticipate it to be so effortless.

Thinking back on previously saying he could sign a contract with Lin Jing and assist him, the Demon Emperor wanted to roll into a corner, as it now seemed his strength might not be of much help to Lin Jing.

"So what? He is a strong one who grew up under the protection of this Emperor, hmph!"

The Demon Emperor quickly adjusted his mindset. Immediately, he remembered that Lin Jing seems to still hold the title of Demon Court Saint Child… Although it was the highest title under the Demon Emperor, it really did insult Lin Jing.

The Demon Emperor chuckled and sent messages to various forces, indicating that the Demon Court wants to nominate Lin Jing as the Celestial Essence Realm Master. Who agrees, and who opposes?

Realm Master.

It is considered the cultivator who commands an entire realm.

In ancient times, the Palace Master of the Celestial Essence Realm Immortal Palace was considered the Realm Master.

However, after the Immortal Palace's destruction, the power structure of the Celestial Essence Continent changed significantly. Even the Celestial Essence Ancient Country could only be called the strongest force in the Celestial Essence Realm, and not one that could command an entire realm. These are two concepts; the latter is stronger.

Naturally, the position of Realm Master no longer exists.

Now, the Demon Emperor is nominating Lin Jing as the Celestial Essence Realm Master, evidently wishing to let him wield the great power of Celestial Essence, commanding cultivators and forces worldwide.

"Realm Master…" The spirit monsters naturally do not care about this proposal because they are Heaven and Earth Sect members, and Lin Jing is the Sect Leader, so it naturally follows that they should heed Lin Jing's orders. This realm master title does not affect them.

And as for the other forces, naturally, they have no opinion. In the cultivation realm, strength is the hard truth, and moreover, Lin Jing would not give up on the Celestial Origin such a cherished thing. Even if Lin Jing comes out, most forces believe that Lin Jing must have left enough contingencies and cultivated an heir who can monopolize Celestial Origin's resources before deciding to return.

A cultivator strong in power and capable of bringing rare resources to the Celestial Essence Realm, no one would oppose him becoming Realm Master.

Except… Celestial Essence Ancient Country.

"Realm Master…" The Second Ancient Emperor, gritting his teeth, thought to himself, "Is this tigress really trying to bring down the Ancient Country?!"

It is well known that the Celestial Essence Ancient Country is founded on the path of Qi Luck, and only when the Ancient Emperor is the highest ruler of a domain can the limitless power of national fortune be mobilized.

Enemies and forces stronger than itself may appear around the Ancient Country, but above the Ancient Country, there absolutely cannot appear someone who can command the Ancient Country or Ancient Emperor.

If Lin Jing becomes Realm Master, then above the Celestial Essence Ancient Country, a higher-level ruler will appear, significantly reducing the power of the Gu family's True Dragon Secret Technique!

"Father Emperor."

Soon after, Gu Xinghe and Gu Yuran arrived upon learning the news, gathering the three Dao Questioners within the Gu royal family.

Besides, Second Ancient Emperor's disciple Wang Che had also accomplished Dao Inquiry but did not appear at this time.

"What do you think?"

"The Demon Court's action should not be intentionally targeting the Ancient Country…" Gu Xinghe sighed, stating the harsh truth. With the Ancient Country's current strength, it seemingly isn't worth Lin Jing's targeted action.

Purely, it's that with Lin Jing's current reputation and strength, any move he makes can affect this former hegemon of the Celestial Essence Continent.

"Ah…" The Second Ancient Emperor suddenly seemed a lot older, also comprehending this principle. He looked at Gu Xinghe and Gu Yuran, saying slowly, "Not long from now, the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor will descend upon Celestial Essence. The biggest reliance Celestial Essence has to weather the crisis is Lin Jing, who bears the future of Celestial Essence. The Demon Emperor's nomination of him as Celestial Essence Realm Master is perfectly legitimate, but the future of the Ancient Country…"

"Father Emperor." Gu Xinghe stepped forward, saying: "The era has changed, having seen the outstanding talents of the myriad worlds and the brilliance of the heavens; I believe the Ancient Country cannot continue clinging to past glory. Although this will greatly reduce the Ancient Country's Qi Luck, it is also an opportunity for the Ancient Country's rebirth."

"At that time, the First Ancient Emperor left a dictum: the Gu family must not entirely cultivate the True Dragon Secret Technique; one person must cultivate another cultivation technique. Wasn't our ancestor precisely concerned about this day happening…?"

"I understand." The Second Ancient Emperor nodded, saying: "Given this situation, I pass the position of the Third Ancient Emperor to Yuran. Do you have any objections?"

Gu Xinghe shook his head, saying: "This child has no objections. My younger sister becoming the Third Ancient Emperor will manage the court, and I can also concentrate in seclusion, improving the 'True Dragon Secret Technique,' finding a new path for the Gu Race."

With Lin Jing becoming Celestial Essence Realm Master, the effect of the True Dragon Secret Technique will greatly diminish. Gu Xinghe, who practices the True Dragon Secret Technique, may have his strength severely impacted and thus be unable to take on the position of the Third Ancient Emperor. Meanwhile, transitioning to another cultivation technique is uncertain how long it will take to regain strength.

The position of the Third Ancient Emperor is clearly more suitable for Gu Yuran to assume. From now onward, the Ancient Country's Emperor will no longer consider practicing the True Dragon Secret Technique as the most suitable.

"I, as Ancient Emperor?" Gu Yuran appeared puzzled, naturally not expecting her father and brother to settle such significant matters in just a few words.

She completely… wasn't mentally prepared for this!!

Just as Gu Yuran calmed down, realizing numerous Dao Questioners within the Ancient Country can completely assist her well.

But at the next moment, a voice rang out from beyond the grand hall, and none of the three Dao Questioners recognized the arrival of someone, their expressions collectively changing.

"Since she hasn't prepared to become Ancient Emperor, let the position of the Third Ancient Emperor be taken by me then."

"Brazen!" The Second Ancient Emperor was consumed by rage, the intruder was also a woman, dressed in a golden gown, with extraordinary temperament, like a Divine Maiden descending upon the grand hall.

"Yu Xun'er?!" Gu Xinghe and Gu Yuran naturally knew this person, one of the first batch of prodigies to enter the Celestial Origin alongside them. Yet whether during the entrance into Celestial Origin or the return to Celestial Essence, this Yu Xun'er remained mysterious, without a shred of information.

"You dare." Gu Xinghe was furious; the Ancient Country's throne could be given to his sister, but this person emerging from nowhere is presumptuous enough to covet it.

"Hehe… Of course, she dares. After all, the same blood flows within her as you." Upon seeing the long-lost First Ancient Emperor reappear, the Second Ancient Emperor's expression changed, understanding instantly.

"So it is, I wondered why she previously gave me a peculiar feeling. So this woman, you nurtured as the heir to retake the throne?!"

"Father Emperor!" The Second Ancient Emperor seriously observed the First's projection.

"Finally, it's here." Yu Xun'er's expression was serene, having always been seen as orthodox due to the 'True Dragon Secret Technique,' yet though she bore royal blood, her cultivation technique was 'Beast Taming Technique.' Even if she obtained the throne, it would be bothersome. But now, if Lin Jing becomes Realm Master, then what exactly can be considered 'orthodox'?
