Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 619 - 72: The Road to Return

Lin Jing gazed at this lifeform that was neither egg nor beast, and although he had some expectations, he was still stunned by its peculiar appearance.

Is this it?

However, upon seeing the holy power emanating from the eggshell, Lin Jing decided not to worry about its appearance anymore.

"I can't tell its original race, but since it has awakened part of the Saint Tribe's bloodline and resembles an egg, let's call you Saint Egg."

A completely new race, the Saint Egg Tribe.

"Yes, Master."

The Saint Egg looked respectfully at Lin Jing.

The egg had been modified by the Immortal Palace and could be bonded by a drop of blood. It seemed that although the bloodline had changed, the bond remained intact.

Unfortunately, through this bloodline connection, Lin Jing could only sense its Saint Tribe power...

He couldn't feel any of the power it should have had from its original race.

He glanced at Fairy Maotuan... This must be the side effect Fairy Maotuan mentioned.

The power of the Saint Tribe squeezed out its original racial power, causing its original abilities to be lost.

Although it's uncertain if the original racial power can be recovered later, fortunately, its bloodline level is still somewhat retained.

A powerful bloodline equivalent to an Immortal Monarch, just like the Celestial Emperor's Frog.

Therefore, even relying solely on physical strength and pure mana, it would be an overwhelming force against the Cultivators in the lower realms.

Not bad!

The innate bloodline of an Immortal Monarch allowed it to be born with a Divinity Transformation cultivation, skipping Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

With this aptitude, combined with the power of the Saint Tribe, it's absolutely a bane to the demons!

And although its original racial power was lost, its strength isn't significantly affected.

The power of the Saint Tribe is pretty formidable, not inferior to any cultivation technique's True Qi in the lower realms. Even though it's a low-tier version, it grants many characteristics of the Saint Tribe power, such as its strongest mana feature, 'Sanctification.'

Anyone defeated by the power of the Saint Tribe will be almost brainwashed and show near-complete loyalty to the opponent. The power of the Saint Tribe is also acclaimed as the strongest subjugation power in the Immortal Realm.

The reason why the power of the Saint Tribe suppresses the demon bloodline is due to a far, ancient past when demons were entirely subjugated under the Saint Tribe for billions of years. This was the largest and longest group subjugated by the Saint Tribe, imprinting the demon bloodline with a fear of the Saint Tribe's power.

"Saint Egg..."

"You really know how to name things."

Fairy Maotuan, seeing that they had succeeded to a large extent, chuckled and said, "Since we're done here, I won't linger any longer. I plan to visit your hometown, the Celestial Essence Realm, and wait for that kid, Immortal Spirit of the Falling Star, to emerge from the Source Realm."

Lin Jing said, "Senior, please wait."

He first sent the Saint Egg back to the Primordial Spirit space to let the Pine Leaf Mouse and others take turns looking after it, then asked Fairy Maotuan a question he was very concerned about.

"Senior, do you know the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

"The Ancient Immortal Realm!"

Fairy Maotuan paused for a moment before saying, "Why are you asking about that?"

Lin Jing began, "I have some personal matters and wish to find the Ancient Immortal Realm on Earth. I wonder if the senior knows of a way."

Fairy Maotuan had only seen it mentioned in some ancient texts and shook his head, saying, "How would I know that? I'm a native-born demon of the Immortal Realm; my ancestors weren't from any other Ancient Immortal Realm, so I don't know much about those places."

"For this sort of thing, you probably need to ask those old races whose ancestors migrated from the Ancient Immortal Realm to the current Immortal Realm..."

"Let me give you a hint... The four Immortal Realms are not interconnected; the only link between them is this lower realm. Hence, those ascending from the lower realm could choose any one of the Immortal Realms to ascend to based on their location."

"And due to the desolation of three of those Immortal Realms, they now can only ascend to the current one."

"Therefore, when the powerful ones from the three ancient Immortal Realms moved to the current Immortal Realm, it wasn't a direct transition—they went through the lower realm."

"Think about it; those great beings had their own factions, which they certainly brought along. The Ancient Immortal Realm wasn't filled with only True Immortals initially; there was probably a large number of Cultivators from the Ancient Immortal Realm who were forced to stay in the lower realm and didn't enter the Immortal Realm immediately."

"These people could be the key."

"Of course, that's something from an unknown amount of time ago. Even if those great beings' legacies and forces remained, they probably would have forgotten where they originally came from. More importantly, how to return to the Ancient Immortal Realm—don't hold out too much hope."

After hearing this, Lin Jing felt it was roughly a direction to take.

The Cultivation Alliance had gathered many forces; he could use his Alliance Leader authority to investigate which remain from the Ancient Immortal Realm still existed in the lower realm.

If possible, he still wanted to keep the battle trophies obtained from the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor for his incarnation.

But if he really couldn't find Earth, he'd have to let the Dragon Koi research the Demon Body Pill, then train a Pet Beast with demon bloodline to entrust to it.

"Leaving now."

Before Fairy Maotuan left, he tossed Lin Jing a jade engraved with an Immortal Technique.

"This is an Immortal Technique-level deduction method; merely having Immortal Power isn't enough to use it. But with your Immortal Body, it shouldn't be a problem. You can try it to find traces of those Ancient Immortal Realm forces in the lower realm."

"Thank you."

After sending off Fairy Maotuan, Lin Jing finally emerged from his retreat. Ever since he became the Alliance Leader, he had been in retreat and never participated in internal alliance matters.

The other Alliance Leaders didn't mind Lin Jing's approach, since every strong figure who knew the secret of the Pangu Continent believed they were special. They spent a lot of time contemplating the power of the Saint Tribe, seeing if they could master it to become a bane to the demons!

But as time passed, they would give up and stop hoping.

During this period, Lin Jing explored a bit in his spare time and could say he was without any leads. However, he no longer needed to inherit the power of the Saint Tribe—Saint Egg was enough!

"Fortunately, Fairy Maotuan didn't deceive me. Though there was a brief vacuum of Saint Tribe power in my territory, it was quickly replenished."

Lin Jing walked out of his territory. When he was hatching the egg, he let his Pet Beast constantly monitor the changes in the surrounding holy power, and the demon escape was within Lin Jing's surveillance.

As punishment, the demon could only become an alchemy experiment.

Additionally, Lin Jing planned to capture another demon to let Saint Egg practice using its Saint Tribe power.

......

Cultivation Alliance, Ancient Pavilion.

This place specialized in storing some ancient texts, and the Pavilion Master of the Ancient Pavilion was said to be a great scholar of history. He embarked on the path of immortality to study his own Cultivation Realm's history.

Lin Jing arrived there, and the white-haired Pavilion Master quickly came out to greet him in a panic.

"Alliance Leader?! I don't know why the Alliance Leader has come to this old man's Ancient Pavilion. Is there anything I can help the Alliance Leader with?"

"Pavilion Master Zhang, I've heard that you have deep insights into the history of the Cultivation Realm. Let me ask you..."
