Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 645 - 7: The First Batch of Ascenders

"When soldiers come, the general stops them; when water approaches, the soil contains it."

Feeling the changes in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Lin Jing thought it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Soon, Earth would be able to host the arrival of True Immortals, which also meant that this incarnation wouldn't have to remain in the Immortal Realm for long.

At the same time, the five-colored celestial stone, this emperor embryo mother stone, wouldn't remain idle for too long.

Lin Jing brought the five-colored celestial stone from the Cultivation Realm to Earth. Actually, he wanted to change his body on the Celestial Essence Continent before coming here, but unfortunately, the five-colored celestial stone is an object of the Immortal Realm and can only nurture life within it.

Therefore, to change his body, the incarnation must wait for Earth to recover to the level of the Immortal Realm.

"I need to seize the time for cultivation..."

"I strive to break through to the Immortal Realm when Earth can host the True Immortals and the demonic True Immortals arrive."

Lin Jing set three cultivation goals for himself.

The first is the demon clan bloodline, which needs to be cultivated to the royal level as soon as possible.

In the Celestial Demon Realm, with the help of the Demon Pill and Slaughter Immortal Body to nourish his bloodline, and temporarily sensing the power of royal demon blood with the Celestial Demon Body, his own was eventually slain by the power of royal demon blood. This tempering gave Lin Jing great confidence to touch the threshold of royal demon blood.

The second is to break through to the True Immortal Realm along with Earth's evolution.

The cultivation of the incarnation had already reached the consummation of comprehension in the Celestial Demon Realm due to the Slaughter Immortal Body. Later, due to the use of the secret technique of undying rebirth, though the incarnation's realm had dropped, it quickly recovered like before with abundant resources. Only by stepping into the Immortal Realm can he resist the enemies that will come the next.

Facing the Immortal Realm with a comprehension body, relying solely on the incarnation would be difficult.

The third is the revival of the Ancient Immortal Realm. Once reaching the Immortal Realm, seizing the five-colored celestial stone, changing to a body with emperor-level potential, and then creating a more suitable celestial path according to the emerging race form.

Lin Jing was most concerned about the third cultivation task, fearing that the celestial realm demon clan might suddenly invade during the period of changing bodies.

If it's the demonic race beneath the Immortal Realm, it's nothing; the Ice Soul Child Gu left on Earth before can handle it.

But the demons of the Immortal Realm, the Ice Soul Child Gu can no longer deal with.

At that time, without the ability to confront enemies during his weak phase of body replacement, he might give the opponent a chance to exploit.

"One person's strength is still too thin; I need a powerful guardian who can protect the Celestial Emperor's Tomb for me during my cultivation, until... those pet beasts ascend."

"The Earth's revival process is accelerating; logically, more Ancient Immortals should awaken. As for the modern cultivators on Earth, there's no hope; there isn't even one Divinity Transformation, I wonder... if there's a suitable Ancient Immortal."

"If not, then I can only refine some artifact spirits to make do."

Upon returning this time, Lin Jing also brought with him a top-grade Immortal Sword and a mid-grade Immortal Mirror, besides a pile of treasures, ready for a big battle. These two quality Immortal Artifacts had their Artifact Spirits dissipated long ago, leaving them in a spiritless state.

If powerful souls could be captured and refined into Artifact Spirits, then these two Immortal Artifacts would be excellent aids.

......

After a mental tour around Earth, Lin Jing found that no Immortal-level beings had yet revived, so he chose to return to the Celestial Emperor's Tomb and reported the demon clan's current ambitions to the Empress.

"Humph, dare to come, and they'd never return, don't worry about cultivation matters, just cultivate within the Celestial Emperor's Tomb, even if invaders come, it's not easy to breach."

"Thank you, senior." Lin Jing began to cultivate at ease within the Celestial Emperor's Tomb. Cultivating here also has the benefit of receiving the Empress's guidance, without worrying about future cultivation issues.

Time passed.

The Earth, this Ancient Immortal Realm, is restoring its former glory, with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi transforming into Immortal Daos' power, and already beginning to form dim celestial stones in places gathering Spiritual Qi.

At this time in the Cultivation Realm.

As time passed, the old generation of Celestial Essence Realm seekers was gradually reaching their limits.

The previous master of the Celestial Secret Tower, the first to notice Lin Jing's extraordinariness, the Celestial Secret Elder, chose to ascend as his limit approached.

At this time, various forces in the Immortal Realm had already reshaped the path of ascension, and those ascending from Celestial Essence would directly ascend to the Immortal Palace in the Immortal Realm.

For those near the end of their lifespan, unless there was a life-extending immortal pill, staying in the lower realm would only mean waiting for death, while ascending to the Immortal Realm and undergoing the baptism of Immortal Power, ascending to the True Immortal Realm, would greatly extend their lifespan, making their continued cultivation possible.

For these old seekers, there was no reason to use life-extending immortal pills to remain in the lower realm; ascending had always been their hope.

Thus, after the previous Celestial Secret Tower master, many old strongmen ascended one after another.

Buddha Lord, Water Moon Immortal Island Master, Martial Emperor, Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor, Ling Daozi... even the Second Ancient Emperor, whose lifespan was not yet nearing its limit, also chose to ascend.

In the blink of an eye, among those who stood atop the Celestial Essence before the Golden Era, only one person remained.

More precisely, one demon.

Only the Demon Emperor remained on the Celestial Essence Continent, choosing not to ascend.

These old seekers chose to ascend for two reasons: one, to extend their lifespan and continue cultivation; two, because the lower realm no longer had space for them. The new generation's talent and power far exceeded theirs.

Leaving the stage of the lower realm to this new generation was also a way to save face, to prevent becoming their stepping stones in the future.

The new generation of seekers took over the place of the old, and the entire Celestial Essence Continent became full of vitality and prosperity.

"Your Majesty, why won't you ascend?"

Demon Court.

Lin Jing curiously asked the Demon Emperor, all the old friends had left, but the Demon Emperor only watched them depart one by one, without having any intention to ascend.

"Not going."

The Demon Emperor shook his head, speaking in an old voice, "That damned Immortal Realm, being unfamiliar with the place and people, I'll wait and see how they fare there. I won't die anytime soon anyway."

"Besides, didn't you say the future of the Ancient Immortal Realm might restore to the Immortal Realm's condition? Then I'll just ascend over there!"

Lin Jing was skeptical, feeling it wasn't like the Demon Emperor's character.

"Last time, after discussing with your old friend Mo Song, he suggested this: Once in the Immortal Palace, everything must start from scratch, and it's better to be a Loose Cultivator rather than having to look at others' faces."

"Moreover, he said you surely have lots of good stuff, like life-extending immortal pills. There's no worry about dying in the lower realm, surely you can outlast until Earth's Immortal Realm power is restored. Wouldn't pioneering the Ancient Immortal Realm be better than becoming a disciple in the Immortal Palace?" The Demon Emperor showed a look of wisdom.

Could any of the other old seekers have her connections and relationships?!

The blood of Lin Jing and the Star Longevity Crane, just a little of it sprinkled, could let her and old Mo Song hold on for tens of thousands of years more!
