Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 620 - 73: The Targeted Ancient Immortal Realm

Soon after, Lin Jing left the Ancient Hidden Pavilion in disappointment.

Although the old man was proficient in this field, his lifespan was too insignificant compared to the historical span of the Cultivation Realm, so he knew little about such ancient matters.

No wonder Fairy Maotuan left him a method of deduction before leaving, it seemed in the end, he could only rely on that.

Having just emerged from seclusion, Lin Jing immediately returned to his closed-door cultivation, took out the jade stone given by Fairy Maotuan, and started learning this deducing technique.

This deduction technique was called the "Seven Star Soul Chasing Technique", and it didn't look like a legitimate technique of deduction.

This method involves the Dao of Time, the Dao of Stars, and the Soul Dao. The caster sacrifices their soul damage to refine a Star Soul, which swiftly roams the starry sky, probing the memories of stars to find traces of what is being deduced in this expanse of stars.

These three methods were not unfamiliar to Lin Jing, so he didn't need to learn from scratch; he could learn naturally and simultaneously prepared rare items and pills for soul restoration with the Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp.

Three years later, Lin Jing mastered the basics of the Seven Star Soul Chasing Technique, began to refine his Star Soul, and let it escape into the starry expanse.

"So fast."

This Star Soul was an intangible entity, moving through the starry sky at an incredibly fast speed, far surpassing Lin Jing's own flight capabilities by over a hundredfold. However, this Star Soul had no combat strength; it could only resonate with various stars as per Lin Jing's requirements to locate the person he sought.

What Lin Jing wanted to find, naturally, were the inherited forces of those cultivators who came from the Ancient Immortal World to the lower realms. Perhaps they themselves had forgotten their origins, but as long as there appeared a bloodline on any planet resembling Lin Jing's Earth lineage, the Star Soul could lock onto it quickly.

A month later, the Star Soul finally discovered the first one. However, upon realizing that the Star Soul had found Zhurou the Taoist, Lin Jing was speechless and continued the soul chase.

Three months later, the Star Soul discovered the second one.

Unlike the first, this place seemed to harbor a considerably large congregation of descendants with Earth bloodline, startling Lin Jing. Although it was no longer the first-generation bloodline and had nearly assimilated with the lower realms, there was no doubt that their ancestors were definitely from the Ancient Immortal World.

And to amass at such a scale, Lin Jing assessed, it was highly likely that it was the legacy force left behind in the lower realms by a powerful entity from Earth in the Ancient Immortal World!

"Prison Star!"

However, after the Star Soul dissipated and confirmed the location of this group, Lin Jing's expression turned somewhat grim, as it appeared to be the territory of a certain demon general, used to imprison some lower realm cultivators—indeed, a prison star!

And not a regular cultivation planet.

"Why." Lin Jing puzzled, wondering why this demon general captured so many cultivators whose ancestors possessed the Earth bloodline from the Ancient Immortal World.

Soon, Lin Jing began to speculate, in fact, he had already considered this possibility before.

The Spiritual Qi resurgence of Earth in the Ancient Immortal World was something known by the Immortal Emperor from Earth, so the Demon Lord, possessing the Celestial Dao Treasure, was likely aware as well.

The Ancient Immortal World harbored many secrets and treasures; it was impossible for someone like the Demon Lord not to covet them.

The Immortal Emperor from Earth, being familiar with Earth, might know the way to Earth better.

However, the demon race, being a native species of the current Immortal Realm, had no direct connection to Earth. Even with the Celestial Dao Treasure, it would not be easy for the Demon Lord to find Earth's location and entry method.

For the demon race to reach Earth, they still needed to expend significant effort!

And how to search was now clear: certainly, many descendants of powerful cultivators from the Ancient Immortal World Earth exist in the current Immortal Realm. By obtaining some of their bloodlines and sending them to the lower realms, entrusting them to the demon generals, these generals could then trace more similar bloodlines.

Then, by establishing connections through these bloodlines with Earth, they could gradually locate Earth.

Realizing this, Lin Jing felt a slight sense of crisis. He hadn't expected that just when the Celestial Essence Realm had rid itself of the threat of the Celestial Revenge Demon General, Earth was now under the scrutiny of another demon general.

"When I left Earth, the Celestial Demon Realm had definitely not yet discovered a way to enter Earth. However, much time has passed since then, and I'm uncertain whether Earth has now been invaded by the Celestial Demon Sect."

"...There shouldn't be too much to worry about. The envoy of the Emperor said that those without Earth bloodline face unimaginable pressure trying to enter the Ancient Immortal World; the stronger their cultivation, the greater the restriction. But one cannot be too complacent, for who knows what powers the Celestial Dao Treasure in the hands of the Demon Lord might possess, which can sever ties between the Immortal and mortal realms."

Lin Jing planned to leave the Pangu Continent for a while, at least to investigate the stage the demon general's search for the Ancient Immortal World had reached.

The demon generals' territories were devoid of teleportation arrays of the Cultivation Alliance, so Lin Jing could only rely on himself to traverse through the vast starry sky, unaware of how much time this might consume.

"Very well then."

Upon arriving there, he didn't know whether he would clash with the demon general. If he went now, even if Lin Jing could defeat another demon general, he would be severely depleted, unable to squander his lifespan as he did fighting the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor. Moreover, the remaining demon generals, unlike the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, did not fight alone—they were often surrounded by countless powerful followers.

Thus, during this period of search, he could just as well cultivate the Holy Egg to ensure that once he had to confront this demon general, he would possess the clout to restrain his opponent.

......

In one of the six territories of the Celestial Demon Sect, on the land of the Xie Yue Demon General.

Aside from the deceased Celestial Revenge Demon General, the existing demon generals were all male. However, the Xie Yue Demon General was quite unique, belonging to the Yin-Yang Celestial Demon path. Though currently he possessed male characteristics, much like Sheng Kun, he was a female who had seized a male body.

Of course, for the current Xie Yue Demon General, the Celestial Demon faction strife no longer concerned him. After obtaining the rank of demon general, he cared nothing for such matters, only wanting to perfectly complete the Immortal Realm's task and be escorted to the upper realms by the Celestial Demon Sect to become a True Immortal as early as possible.

In a grand hall, the Xie Yue Demon General, with a sinister appearance, gazed at his subordinates kneeling before him with a displeased look.

"Wasn't it said that with the current Spiritual Qi resurgence level of the 'Ancient Immortal World', at most only 'Nascent Soul Stage' cultivators could be had?"

"Why did our people die?! Do you know how many resources it cost us to send a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator?"

"...My Lord Demon General, that place, after all, is the Ancient Immortal World. Even though the Spiritual Qi resurgence level currently may allow cultivation only to the Nascent Soul Stage, who's to say how many ancient treasures left by the ancient immortals remain there? Even mortals acquiring them could pose significant threats to cultivators." The kneeling demon race subordinate, feeling cold sweat trickle down.

"Then continue to take a cultivator with Ancient Immortal World bloodline from Prison Star, let someone seize them and be sent there again! This time, the person must possess top-tier talent, capable of cross-level combat... I seem to recall a junior named Sheng Kun?"
