Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 671 - 33: Old Friends from the Lower Realm

Lin Jing sensed the Saint Spirit Mountain Range, detecting two familiar mana fluctuations, both from acquaintances from the lower realm.

The first came from a temporary cave dwelling, and even though layers of restrictions were placed outside, they couldn't block Lin Jing's Immortal Awareness.

Inside the cave dwelling was a cultivator with an Immortal Monarch Eighth Heaven cultivation. If Lin Jing wasn't mistaken, it should be the Alliance Leader of the Cultivation Alliance, Daoist Nun Wanling!

She possessed an Innate Immortal Body Dao Embryo and was one of the three strongest cultivators in the lower realm in the past. Having ascended for so long, even without any backing, it's not strange she advanced to an Immortal Monarch through her own cultivation. Moreover, with such talent and contributions in demon vanquishing, it's impossible that no powerful figure would have taken notice of her.

She has also come for the relic of the Creation Immortal King.

Lin Jing's relationship with Daoist Nun Wanling was not deep, but they did work together for a time and had met a few times.

The other person was more familiar to Lin Jing.

He looked beyond the sky, where a stone man sat cross-legged on a piece of rubble in the void, restoring his energy. It was not the Spirit King of the Celestial Essence Realm, but... the Meteorite Immortal Spirit, a disciple of Fairy Maotuan.

Not long after the Ascension Passage opened, Fairy Maotuan and the Meteorite Immortal Spirit both ascended to the Immortal Realm. Lin Jing hadn't followed up with them since. After not seeing them for so long, the Meteorite Immortal Spirit had now reached Immortal Monarch Realm Fifth Heaven, with cultivation closely following Daoist Nun Wanling.

The value of the spirit monsters from the Source Realm was still rising.

"Master, what's the matter?" Wu Lingxi asked as she and Lin Jing landed on a hilltop, seeing Lin Jing without further action.

"Nothing," Lin Jing smiled and said, "There are two Immortal Kings in the Saint Spirit Mountain Range, likely Guardians of some Celestial Prodigies. The number of Immortal Monarchs is even more, so we need to be careful."

"Yes!" Wu Lingxi nodded obediently and asked, "Master, what do we do next? Should we head directly into the relic of the Creation Immortal King?"

"We can't enter right now," Lin Jing replied, "The relic of the Creation Immortal King opens once every ten years, and it's still half a year until the next opening."

"During these six months, let's stay nearby to cultivate. I'll grant you the freedom to take action; you can find other True Immortal Realm cultivators to spar with and gain practical experience before entering the relic. But remember, don't cause any trouble." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Great, don't worry, I'm a very well-behaved disciple," Wu Lingxi nodded repeatedly.

After some hesitation, Lin Jing let her go but maintained a sliver of Immortal Awareness following her, worried something might happen.

He then pondered a bit and decided against recognizing the Meteorite Immortal Spirit and inquiring about him and Fairy Maotuan's status.

It had been a long time, and people's hearts change easily. Though Fairy Maotuan had helped him a lot in the lower realm, it's wise to be cautious with these old acquaintances when out and about.

...

Meanwhile.

The Ancient Immortal Realm, Earth.

The plan for the third self was understood by all incarnations.

After careful consideration, the incarnation felt it was still too difficult to let the third self struggle alone in the Immortal Realm.

"You all say the third self has established a foothold in the Immortal Realm, with the Celestial Destiny about to emerge and countless opportunities. Should I send one or several of you to secretly enter the Immortal Realm to assist the third self?"

Lin Jing looked at his pet beasts around him.

These pet beasts had also evidently reached Immortal Monarch Realm Ninth Heaven.

They, like the incarnation, had reached the upper limit of Earth's capacity.

"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go."

Before the other pet beasts could speak, the turtle in the corner started to spin around, it was the Mechanical Turtle.

Eighty years!

Practicing the path of wandering, it had grown tired of Earth.

Due to experiencing the End of Dharma Era, countless Secret Realms and alternate spaces on Earth had collapsed, making it much smaller than it was during the Ancient Immortal Realm, allowing the Mechanical Turtle to traverse the solar system in no time, which was the most boring thing for it.

Outside Earth, the starry sky seemed vast, but like the Source Realm, Earth was isolated on a single interface. The star regions could only be seen but not reached.

Frankly, it had long envied the third self for being able to go to the Immortal Realm. Now with this opportunity, it immediately volunteered to support the third self.

"Then it's you." Lin Jing nodded at the Mechanical Turtle, whose whole body was full of technological vibes.

In eighty years, compared to the lower realm and the Immortal Realm, Earth truly was where the seas transformed into mulberry fields, with the most dramatic changes.

The political structure of the past had changed greatly. The word 'cultivation' had become a part of every household. In Lin Jing's country, nine years of compulsory education had turned into twelve years of compulsory Immortal Cultivation education.

Apart from Lin Jing's group and the revived ancients, modern cultivators on Earth had also surpassed the Ascension Tribulation, attaining the rank of Immortal.

Among them, a genius from the Western cultivation world was the most intriguing, having created a "path of technological cultivation" based on Earth's conditions, achieving "mechanical ascension." The concept was that technological development, at a certain point, would definitely not be inferior to the Immortal Dao—a view Lin Jing somewhat agreed with.

Lin Jing secretly provided the genius with considerable support and borrowed some ideas to upgrade and improve the Mechanical Turtle again.

Nowadays, calling it a Mechanical Turtle wasn't entirely accurate; "Mechanical Turtle" was a more suitable term.

Matched with the powerful Divine Sense of the Mechanical Turtle, coupled with the strong analytical power brought by the technological Immortal Dao, its analysis of certain things and magic principles was now comparable to the original with the True Fate Immortal Eye.

"If you go, you can indeed help the third self a lot, but if you're exposed, it will be troublesome." Lin Jing fell into deep thought; if the Mechanical Turtle encountered an unexpected death in the Immortal Realm, given the such a distant distance, its contract with the original and incarnations might be severed, making revival impossible.

After all, the methods of those great powers in the Immortal Realm are far stronger than lower realm cultivators, mostly able to easily cut off the enemy's revival paths.

"Let's do this, leave the 'Ingenious Soul Core' behind and take only the 'Mechanical Chip.' This way, even if something happens to you in the Immortal Realm, there will still be a way to revive you in the future." Lin Jing made the final decision. If the Ingenious Soul Core were the core of a mechanical beast, then the Mechanical Chip was the core as a mechanical life form; the Mechanical Turtle now possessed both.

With both present, it was at the peak of its performance; if one were separated, performance would slightly decline, but it was still better than being completely exterminated by the enemy.

Days later.

The Mechanical Turtle became Lin Jing's first pet beast to head to the Immortal Realm.

"How can a Beast Taming Cultivator have no pet beast to assist them? It's no wonder the third self didn't dare to step outside for all these decades. But now, with the beast's ascension to assist him, the pressure should lessen quite a bit."

As soon as the Mechanical Turtle reached the Unrivaled Sect, it immediately activated the "Immortal Realm Positioning and Tracking Function," locked onto the third self of the same contract origin, and headed straight for the relic of the Creation Immortal King... Breaking into relics was its expertise!
