Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 589 - 44: Ascension Ceremony

Lin Jing did not immediately go to find that Ling Wang. The description from a Core Formation Cultivator could only give Lin Jing a rough understanding of the current situation.

But if he wanted to understand this spirit monster more comprehensively, he had to find a key figure.

Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor had experiences of battling it; from her, he could learn more details.

Since cultivating an immortal-grade bloodline with the exceptional immortal source Lin Jing gifted, the Demon Emperor had no rivals in the Celestial Essence Realm.

But even the Demon Emperor herself couldn’t have imagined that in less than a millennium, a specter starting cultivation from scratch surpassed her.

Defeated, the Demon Emperor remained closed in the Demon Court for years.

"Who?!"

Until Lin Jing forcibly intruded... interrupting the Demon Emperor’s arduous cultivation.

Seeing the figure appearing not far away, the tiger-headed Demon Emperor shot up, looking somewhat surprised at Lin Jing.

Three hundred years ago, Lin Jing explained briefly before leaving the Source Realm, resulting in being out of touch for three centuries.

Back then, Lin Jing said he was going to explore an ancient relic, and it might take a long time before he returned.

Indeed, it has been long...

"Lin Jing———" The Demon Emperor, in full dragon regalia, felt like seeing a family member upon seeing Lin Jing. Despite her noble status as the ruler of the Celestial Essence demon clan, she couldn’t help but show a grievance in her eyes.

She was suffering so much.

Finally becoming the strongest on the surface of Celestial Essence, only to be used by a young one as a show of power.

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor," Lin Jing chuckled, and said, "I heard you were defeated by a spirit monster born less than a millennium ago?"

The Demon Emperor clenched her fists and said, "You’re referring to Ling Wang. Its situation is a bit special; it awakened an absurd Treasure Beast Divine Technique... I’ve never seen such an overpowered technique."

Treasure Beast Divine Technique!

Hearing this, Lin Jing had some understanding of what was going on.

Mingtu Lady and the Starfall Immortal Spirit’s joint potential essence made its growth speed terrifying, which Lin Jing still found hard to comprehend.

However, if the opponent inherited a powerful Treasure Beast Divine Technique, that would be plausible.

And considering the Demon Emperor’s acknowledgment... could it be...

Similar to the Pine Tree Mouse.

It awakened an "Immortal King-level" Treasure Beast Divine Technique?

"I heard that the other party wants to break out of the Starlight Maze Formation? Although they’re a good seedling, if they insist on violating Celestial Essence’s rules, they cannot be left," Lin Jing said.

"But more than that, after so much time, that Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor..."

"News of the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor has come," the Demon Emperor said. "The Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor battled Sword Taixu, and Sword Taixu barely escaped with his life to heal, while the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, after the battle, had an epiphany, then randomly found a place to enter seclusion and refine the gains, which lasted several centuries."

"After the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor emerged, the Tianming Realm was completely overrun, becoming territory of the Celestial Demon Realm. However, fortunately, the Tianming Realm had anticipated this day hundreds of years ago, and core cultivators had already been moved to Pangu Continent."

"After that, the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor did not come to the Celestial Essence Realm but returned directly to the Celestial Demon Realm, and there are rumors that now, the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor is the foremost female powerhouse in the Celestial Demon Realm!"

"After defeating the Vice Alliance Hierarch, did they have another breakthrough?" Lin Jing frowned, this guy...

But fortunately, the other party kept their promise and did not act against Celestial Essence within the millennium.

This is quite commendable.

To express his admiration, Lin Jing decided he would let the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor die a quicker death when the time came.

"You’ve reached Void Profound."

A moment later, noticing Lin Jing had broken through to Void Profound, the Demon Emperor began to ponder, "Do you now have the confidence to defeat the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor? Eight hundred years of Source Realm cultivation has likely accumulated quite a bit of heritage for you."

"If you’re not confident, you could make a contract with me. Although I might not be of much help, I can at least somewhat assist you in facing the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor."

"Hm?" Lin Jing looked at the Demon Emperor, unable to imagine she’d offer to make a contract.

In the past, he might have accepted without hesitation.

But now, he had better options.

"Of course, that Ling Wang might be a better choice, with obviously stronger talent," the Demon Emperor said with a pout.

"Besides, in your territory, there’s that old Pine Tree..." The Demon Emperor recalled Elder Mo Song, this old Pine Tree perched calmly in the fishing spot, remaining secluded no matter how the outside world changed, only secretly observing when she battled Ling Wang.

Later, the Demon Emperor intentionally probed the roots of this old Pine Tree but found nothing.

All she received was a promise that if Ling Wang insisted on breaking the barriers, it would also help to block it.

Overall, Mo Song gave her a feeling that his strength seemed not much weaker than hers.

To this, Lin Jing was unsurprised, keeping in mind that Elder Mo Song had seized the Refining Heaven Immortal Body. With its Demon Dao proficiency, its development must be no less than Refining Heaven Devil Ancestor; its strength was surely extraordinary, but with such a formidable Immortal Body, it never made an appearance on the continent. This self-restraint Lin Jing also admired, truly worthy of Elder Mo Song, he wondered what plans were being quietly laid.

"Your Majesty, transmit your memories of the battle with Ling Wang to me."

"Are you going to meet that Ling Wang?"

"Inviting the spirit monsters from the Source Realm to Celestial Essence wasn’t meant for them to act ostentatiously and monopolize Celestial Essence resources. Ling Wang’s parents are my subordinates and allies, so I owe them a favor. As long as these spirit monsters can recognize the price of their ’freedom’ as helping Celestial Essence Realm resist foreign enemies, everything they’ve done can be forgiven."

"Then you can wait a little longer."

The Demon Emperor said, "This guy has been plotting to break out of the Starlit Maze Formation and leave Celestial Essence, but it was stopped by native Way Seeker coalitions. Back then, although it was strong, it couldn’t face so many opponents simultaneously. After all, not only native Celestial Essence powerhouses opposed it, but some spirit monsters also didn’t support leaving Celestial Essence." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"But recently, Ling Wang publicly invited various factions of Celestial Essence Continent to witness it undergo the ’Ascension Tribulation,’ seemingly confident that its strength now commands the entire continent’s respect."

"Does that mean its realm has reached the peak of Way Seeking," Lin Jing was somewhat envious of such cultivation speed, but he would soon attain similar progress. With Celestial Destiny’s blessing and the accumulated Golden Core from the dragon carp, he was about to make a substantial cultivation breakthrough.

"Very well, then all the Way Seeker spirit monsters should be present, saving the trouble of informing each individually."

"At that time, I’ll see who wants to leave with me; I can give them the opportunity to join in joint operations... against the Celestial Demon Realm’s Blood Demon Legion."

"How long until then?"

"About nineteen months later."

"Alright, then I’ll use this time to elevate my realm as well."

But before that.

Lin Jing wanted to return to his lair and hatch that Immortal Monarch-level pet egg. Ling Wang, the Demon Emperor, Mo Song... they were not the first choice.

This pet egg, incubated by his Immortal Body, should have the greatest potential, though Lin Jing truly worried it might be a dead egg, given so many years had passed.
