Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 18Book 4: : Origin Realm

The Second Ancient Emperor looked around at everyone.

"Do you all still remember why we initiated the Golden Era?"

"To cultivate Tianyuan Realm’s prodigies, to give those at the end of their lifespan a chance to break through their bottlenecks."

"But as it stands, if we assume the worst-case scenario, we may not have enough time."

"If the Demonic Sky Realm invades, with the Tianyuan prodigies only at the Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation Stage, they’ll not only be ineffective—they’ll become the primary targets for elimination."

Among the figures, the tiger-headed and stocky Demon Emperor had been listening in silence. She finally spoke, "If you have an idea, just say it."

The Second Ancient Emperor turned to her. "After the Golden Era began, many ancient secret realms surfaced. Among them, ruins of the shattered Celestial Palace also began to appear."

"The Ancient Kingdom discovered a certain location through this—have any of you heard of the Origin Realm?"

Origin Realm?

Even among the gathered Dao-Seeking powerhouses, few had heard of this place.

Until a whale-shaped beast’s silhouette spoke, "The Origin Realm… wasn’t the formation diagram for entering it lost during the Celestial Palace War?"

"I bring it up now because we’ve found a way to enter the Origin Realm from the Celestial Palace ruins." said the Second Ancient Emperor.

"So what exactly is the Origin Realm?"

One of the Dao-Seeking cultivators asked, confused—it didn’t sound like just a small secret realm.

"The Origin Realm is also known as the Minor Immortal Realm. It’s a rather special space in the lower realm. The biggest difference between the Immortal Realm and the lower realm lies in the existence of Immortal Sources in the former—they generate immortal energy."

"The Origin Realm is the only place in the lower realm capable of generating Immortal Sources and producing immortal energy. Moreover, the natural energy there is exceptionally abundant—an ideal place for Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation cultivators to train. No place in the lower realm compares."

"Of course, in terms of quantity, it’s nothing compared to the Immortal Realm—it’s like a drop in the ocean. But for the lower realm, it’s still incredibly rare."

"According to records from the Celestial Palace, many Immortal Realm powers once cooperated to transform the Origin Realm into a dedicated training ground for prodigies from the lower realm."

"This Origin Realm can only be entered and occupied by Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation cultivators. Anyone beyond that level will be expelled. Every ten years, a portion of Immortal Source is produced, and this becomes the most coveted treasure for the prodigies inside."

"In ancient times, Celestial Palace prodigies could enter the Origin Realm and compete against other prodigies from different cultivation realms. But after the Celestial Palace shattered, the means to enter the Origin Realm were lost."

The Yin-Yang Whale Emperor, ruler of Poseidon Palace, shared what he knew.

"That’s right. Tianyuan Realm happens to have a limited number of entry slots. We might be able to send some of Tianyuan’s prodigies into the Origin Realm to train. There, the highest level any outsider cultivator could reach would also be Soul Transformation."

"Compared to the Tianyuan Realm, which might face war, the Origin Realm would be much safer."

"Besides, if they manage to obtain Immortal Sources and cultivate there, the benefits are unimaginable."

"When they return, they should all be powerful cultivators at the Void Mystical Stage. At that point, they’d have the qualifications to join the two-realm war—and a decent chance of survival."

After the Second Ancient Emperor finished, the Dao-Seeking experts remained silent. The Origin Realm…

"You Ancient Kingdom people have this opportunity and don’t keep it to yourselves, sending only your ancient clan prodigies in, but instead you're sharing it with us?"

"Spit it out—what’s the catch for entering the Origin Realm?" asked the Witch God of the Cloud Sea Mountains.

The Second Ancient Emperor replied, "Cross-realm teleportation has very high activation requirements. Just like starting the Golden Bell, it needs several Dao-Seeking experts working together to activate the formation diagram."

"Moreover, Tianyuan Realm only has ten slots to enter the Origin Realm. If those ten aren’t the strongest prodigies of the Tianyuan Realm, once inside, they’ll likely become targets of bullying by other realms’ prodigies and fail to obtain any resources."

"Inside the Origin Realm, only with full cooperation from the strongest Tianyuan prodigies can we hope to gain the greatest benefits. Then, regardless of how the war with the Demonic Sky Realm ends, Tianyuan Realm’s future would still hold a glimmer of hope."

"How do we choose these ten?"

The Martial Emperor approved the idea, believing that sending part of their prodigies into the Origin Realm to act as Tianyuan’s 'seed' plan was viable.

Immortal Source energy—he didn’t even need to ask to know how valuable it would be for cultivation. Now that the path to ascension was broken, the Origin Realm might be the only place for cultivators to experience immortal energy.

"We’ll take the top ten from the Fortune Gold List."

"The period—ten years."

"Ten years from now, the top ten ranked on the Fortune Gold List will be sent by us into the Origin Realm for cultivation..."

"If none of you have any objections, I, Gu, will share everything I obtained from the Celestial Palace ruins regarding the Origin Realm with my fellow Daoists."

.............

Much later, Western Desert, Immortal-Burying Volcano.

The Demon Emperor’s consciousness returned. She looked at the Dragon Carp still swimming in the volcano and fell silent.

"The Origin Realm, huh?"

"I wonder if that girl Xu Qingyao can hold her current ranking. As for Lin Jing..."

The Demon Emperor sank into thought. Within ten years—could Lin Jing make it?

As a Longevity Body, the Demon Emperor actually felt that letting Lin Jing enter the Origin Realm might be the best option.

After all, the rules of the Origin Realm were very favorable to Longevity Bodies.

Inside the Origin Realm, the cultivation ceiling was the Soul Transformation Stage. Anyone who broke through to the Void Mystical Stage would be expelled back to their own cultivation realm.

In that case, even if no new Immortal Sources were produced for a while, prodigies from other realms could still remain there indefinitely—after all, Soul Transformation cultivators had incredibly long lifespans.

A few might choose to break through only when their lifespan was nearly depleted, choosing to remain in the Origin Realm during their golden years of cultivation.

With that, even weaker prodigies could stay in the Origin Realm for a long time.

But Lin Jing was different.

As a Longevity Body, he could, if he chose, remain dormant in the Origin Realm for thousands—even ten thousand—years. Through sheer time alone, he could become the overlord of the Origin Realm, monopolizing all Immortal Sources.

That kind of power accumulation would be terrifying. Future Tianyuan Realm prodigies entering the Origin Realm would also benefit from Lin Jing’s protection.

Compared to struggling against Dao-Seeking experts in the Grand Origin Realm, it would be far better.

"Pass the intel to him. Let him decide for himself. But... if he goes, who’s going to refine the Transformation Pill Vessel?"

The Demon Emperor paused.
