Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 655 - 17: Heavenly Dao Rules

The main body seeks the path to ascension, trying to find means to assist the avatar, while the avatar itself begins its secluded cultivation.

He has brought many cultivation resources, all given by the Immortal Emperor of Donghuang. However, the avatar feels that relying solely on "proper" cultivation methods might not be enough.

The Immortal Realm... Even though he has the potential of an Immortal Emperor, cultivation requires time. Relying on the righteous path, it is difficult to continuously ascend several heavens in a short time, not to mention reaching the Immortal Monarch Realm from the True Immortal Realm.

The path of the Demon Dao must be taken!

"When I gained the divine techniques, I vaguely thought of this method. I don't know if it will work, but let's give it a try."

Lin Jing sat atop Huang Mountain, sighed, and retrieved a mosquito beast egg brought from the Cultivation Realm from within his spatial body.

After hatching the mosquito beast, Lin Jing tried using soul control for the first time.

Whoosh.

The platinum-colored soul control entered the newly born Qi Refining mosquito beast, and its power instantly surged, bypassing the conventional stages of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul Formation. It simply experienced an incredibly terrifying force, forcibly elevating its power to the first layer of the True Immortal Realm, the same as the avatar.

Moreover, what also improved was the mosquito beast's racial talent, namely the blood-sucking reproduction power.

The avatar offered a drop of his own fresh blood for the mosquito beast to absorb. In an instant, it spewed out a large number of mosquito eggs. Seeing this, Lin Jing nodded in satisfaction.

"Strength and racial abilities have both improved, but it still lacks intelligence, just like the original mosquito beast, it only has a bloodthirsty instinct..."

The smile didn't last long on the avatar's face, as a hint of murderous intent arose within Lin Jing.

Boom.

Lin Jing himself... punched the True Immortal mosquito beast he had cultivated to death.

After crushing it to death, he indeed found that he was unaffected, and the soul control was also unaffected, returning back in place, signifying that Lin Jing could anytime create a second pet beast of the same realm for control.

"Hahahaha."

As he killed the mosquito beast, a force surged into his body, Lin Jing's eyes turned somewhat red.

Slaughter Immortal Body!

As long as there's slaughter, the realm can be swiftly elevated.

This physique's greatest difficulty lies in the challenge of having a sufficient number and quality of enemies for the Slaughter Immortal Body to massacre.

To want to kill enough immortals will certainly lead to becoming a public enemy of the Immortal Realm, so the Slaughter Immortal Body... finds it hard to reach the end.

However, Lin Jing discovered that through the creation of pet beasts with the soul control, they could also provide the Slaughter Immortal Body with a substantial amount of slaughter origin as nourishment for growth in realm!

Most importantly, after performing this operation once, the soul control surprisingly didn't seem to suffer much damage, prompting Lin Jing to discover a shortcut for rapidly increasing cultivation.

"By this method, as long as there are no issues with the soul control afterwards, my realm can rapidly improve by killing mosquito beasts... Each time I rise a layer of the heavens, I can create more True Immortal mosquito beasts, kill more True Immortal mosquito beasts, and the speed of realm enhancement will become faster. At this rate, it may not be long, with the cultivation resources provided by the Immortal Emperor of Donghuang along with the potential of this body, possibly... reaching the Immortal Monarch is promising."

During the weak years, to become stronger, mosquito beasts served as pet food, magical treasure energy.

Even now, for the sake of gaining strength, mosquito beasts still have to endure serving as nourishment for the Slaughter Immortal Body.

The avatar vowed that when he becomes an Immortal Emperor, he will definitely designate the mosquito beast race as a new holy family, given the enormous sacrifices they have made.

......

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

Due to the avatar carrying the Cosmic Path Immortal Banner gifted by the main body, five years for him equated to fifty years.

This Cosmic Path Immortal Banner is a low-grade Immortal Artifact, capable of increasing time flow speed up to a hundred times if the internal life is below the Immortal Realm. However, if used by a True Immortal, it can only be accelerated up to ten times. The higher the realm, the harder it is to use.

For fifty years, the avatar has been continuously killing mosquitoes. In the Immortal Realm, the exploration of Heavenly Dao matters most, whereas the Immortal Body is essentially a projection of the Dao, and each physique leads to a specific feature of Heavenly Dao.

"The Heavenly Dao is merciless, its regulation of nature is the greatest slaughter. The extinction of a race, the change of a dynasty, many are not without the Heavenly Dao's big hand known as natural disasters, erasing billions of living beings."

"Revenge killing, love killing, indiscriminate killing... are merely minor ways. Using mosquito beasts as the object of massacre, the ninth layer of the True Immortal Realm... is it really the limit? What kind of massacre can help me ascend to the Immortal Monarch Realm?"

"The extinction of a race? The destruction of a world? Or perhaps, do I need to kill a real Immortal Monarch?" After fifty years of cultivating through the Slaughter Immortal Body, Lin Jing found himself facing a bottleneck. The path of slaughter alone cannot help him ascend to the Immortal Monarch. This method clearly cannot increase indefinitely.

The Immortal Monarch Realm generally requires a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao, a glimpse into a corner of the Heavenly Dao from outside the gate, to condense a source of Heavenly Dao within oneself.

Each Immortal Monarch's condensed source of Heavenly Dao can represent different attributes of the Heavenly Dao. It's possible for an Immortal Monarch to condense more than one source of Heavenly Dao. Only by successfully condensing a source of Heavenly Dao can one truly transcend from the fundamental realm of True Immortal and become a high-level user of the Heavenly Dao Rules, from a seeker to an advanced practitioner.

The major forces in the Immortal Realm, capable of tailoring certain Heavenly Dao rules for their Cultivation Realms, are mostly powers beyond the Immortal Monarch Realm. Below the Immortal Monarch, attempting to achieve this might require leveraging some rule magical treasures or the power of inheritance crafted by Immortal Monarch-level experts.

Lin Jing could feel that although the current Earth cannot bear the power of an Immortal Monarch Realm expert, his breakthrough was not restricted by the world itself but rather due to his inability to reach the threshold.

"In actual time, it has merely been five years, and progressing from the first layer of the True Immortal on an Earth with celestial aura far inferior to the true Immortal Realm is already an astonishing speed. However, it seems proving the Immortal Monarch through the path of slaughter still has some difficulty. The divine aptitude of this body is stronger; otherwise, I could attempt a breakthrough with soul control..."

The avatar shook his head.

"Why must one explore the Heavenly Dao and not directly contract and control the Heavenly Dao to become a Taoist Master?"

"Normal cultivation is too troublesome."

"The main body's thought is correct. Since the ultimate goal of the Immortal Realm is to achieve being a Taoist Master, why not move directly to that point? The main body seeks to contract the entire lower realm, then can I contract... this Ancient Immortal Realm directly?"

"Under normal circumstances, it is definitely very difficult to achieve. But now that the Ancient Immortal Realm is in a 'declining' state, and I can attempt to only contract a part of the fragments rather than the whole. I might contract... the manifestation of a Heavenly Dao rule, which is then a so-called..."

"Heavenly Dao rule fragment."

"Heavenly Dao has its operating rules. Find one particular rule among them, force it or aid it to give birth to its own consciousness, become a rule life, then contract it, using it as a breakthrough point..." The avatar's eyes flashed with bold ideas.

"In that case, I will need to defy the heavens, provoking Heavenly Dao's backlash."

"Contract... Since the main body practices the path of contracts, then let me try conquering the fragment of the contract rule."

"That Sect Leader of Xingyu Sect once made me swear by the Heavenly Dao for the purpose of facing Heavenly Dao backlash after breaking the oath, this means breaking the contract with Heavenly Dao."

"In that case, I can do the opposite, continuously swearing by the Heavenly Dao and constantly breaking my vows, forcing the contract rule of the Heavenly Dao to backlash against me. Then seize that opportunity to witness the true face of the contract rule."

"...It shouldn't affect the main body, right?"

"I, Lin Jing, swear by the Heavenly Dao, within three days, I must find a wife, to continue the lineage for the Lin Family. Should I break this vow, I am willing to suffer divine retribution!"
