Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 56Book 4: : Wielding the Immortal Sword

Vol 4 Chapter 56: Wielding the Immortal Sword

"This feeling... is truly incredible."

Lin Jing was filled with disbelief. His base cultivation was only Core Formation Stage,

But through the Heavenly Demon Physique, his temporary cultivation had reached Nascent Soul Transformation Stage!

The Divine Control Technique, which consumes lifespan to enhance one's mastery over artifacts, stacked with everything else, had successfully allowed him to momentarily control the weakened Ghost Mother, a Void Mystical-level being.

And this Ghost Mother was a special case—though her cultivation wasn't high, she was a war-spirit artifact created by the Celestial Palace using immortal methods, specifically designed to suppress magical artifacts.

High-grade, top-grade, quasi-celestial artifacts… to her, they meant nothing.

Her most terrifying feature—she could even temporarily become the artifact spirit of a Celestial Artifact without one and control it.

All of these stacking factors let Lin Jing, for a brief moment, touch the apex of power—like a Dao-Seeker.

"Return to place!"

"Go!"

In the next moment, Lin Jing formed a hand seal. Under his control, all the floating swords in the Heavenly Sword Gate returned to their masters.

Then, under the stunned eyes of countless cultivators, the Ghost Mother he was controlling… directly flew into the sect’s Celestial Sword, Wen Tian.

"Borrowing this sword."

"It’ll be returned shortly!"

Lin Jing spoke.

Immediately after, Wen Tian, the Celestial Sword that had lain dormant in the Heavenly Sword Gate for countless years, its spirit lost in the ancient war, suddenly erupted in dazzling brilliance and a resonant sword cry.

At that moment, disciples of all levels and ages gaped in disbelief.

"The Celestial Sword... it's..." one elder after another stared blankly.

The Celestial Sword... was awakening.

And not just within the Heavenly Sword Gate—

Having just reached the Tianyuan Imperial Capital, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Gate dropped Gao Sheng in shock, turning to look back at the sect—at the sword light soaring into the heavens.

"That’s... the light of the Celestial Sword???"

"What’s going on in the sect?"

“Holy s**t, Brother Lin is incredible.” Gao Sheng, falling from the sky, gasped in awe. He summoned his Flying Dragon Horse, mounted it, and looked back toward the Heavenly Sword Gate. Had he really done it?

At the same moment, the Ancient Prince stepped out of the palace, staring solemnly at the sword light rising from the direction of the Heavenly Sword Gate, puzzled.

"Could it be that someone in the sect has finally drawn the Celestial Sword...? Was it the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor?" he muttered.

By now, every cultivator at or above the Void Mystical Stage in the Ancient Kingdom had sensed the movement.

The awakening of Wen Tian had sent tremors through the land.

The revival of a Celestial Artifact was always an earthshaking event.

Even beyond the heavens, the Dao-Seekers, who had just been watching the battle between the Bone Emperor and the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor’s sword spirit, now frowned and turned their gazes toward the Ancient Kingdom.

Though the distance and protective formations over the Heavenly Sword Gate obscured vision, they could still sense that an immense Celestial Sword power had emerged from that region.

"Unbelievable… is that Wen Tian, the Celestial Sword of the Heavenly Sword Sect?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Du Xing, Lord of the Sword Ancestor City, spoke in surprise.

His ability to control a Celestial Artifact came from the fact that the artifact spirit of the Sword Ancestor had once guided his cultivation. Through the refining methods taught by the spirit, he had also repaired the damaged Sword Ancestor—an incredibly rare, mutual relationship.

But as far as he knew, other than his Sword Ancestor, almost all Celestial Artifacts salvaged from the ancient era had lost their spirits.

Aside from rare cases like Du Xingdong, most required ancient immortal methods to activate—methods largely inaccessible even in the Upper Realm.

So how on earth was that boy from the Heavenly Sword Gate activating a Celestial Artifact...?

“No wonder that girl dared to fight the Bone Emperor with her disciple. She can actually activate a Celestial Sword? That’s insane.” The Whale Emperor of Poseidon Palace said.

“Right? Even the Ancient Clan hasn’t activated their Celestial Artifacts yet,” laughed the Witch God of the Cloud Sea Mountains, glancing toward the Second Ancient Emperor. The implication was clear: the Ancient Kingdom might have just birthed a new, uncontrollable powerhouse.

Until now, the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor alone wasn’t enough to compete with ancient powers like the Ancient Kingdom—

But if she could wield a Celestial Sword, it changed everything.

She’d qualify to enter the ranks of the strongest Dao-Seekers.

“What’s going on…” muttered the Second Ancient Emperor, his expression shifting, until—

The Wen Tian Sword burst from the Heavenly Sword Gate and flew toward the Western Desert.

Only then did the Dao-Seekers see clearly.

It wasn’t the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor summoning the sword from afar—

It was someone else, riding the sword, headed for the Western Desert, sword intent erupting.

On the sword stood a youth with long hair fluttering and a Pine Leaf Mouse on his shoulder.

His eyes gleamed with sharpness as he looked to the horizon.

“Lin Jing of the Longevity Physique?”

“Holy Son of the Demon Court?”

“It’s him?”

“Why can he wield the Celestial Sword?!”

This scene left even the Dao-Seekers stunned—none of them had expected this.

And within the Heavenly Sword Gate, elders and disciples alike were speechless in horror.

They watched the fading light of the flying sword in complete silence, collapsing to the ground in disbelief.

“Lord of the Demon Court, give me an explanation.” The Second Ancient Emperor’s glare locked onto the Demon Emperor.

Though the situation was unclear, the image spoke for itself.

A sect-suppressing Celestial Artifact of the Ancient Kingdom had been taken by the Holy Son of the Demon Court!

This, the Second Ancient Emperor could not accept.

“I don’t know either!” The Demon Emperor, tiger-headed and dazed, pressed both hands to her head. She was just as bewildered as the other Dao-Seekers.

“Lin Jing is your Demon Court’s Holy Son—how do you not know what he’s doing?”

“I really don’t!” the Demon Emperor barked in frustration. “I’d like to know what the hll is going on!”

This Saint Son could wield a Celestial Artifact—where did he learn that?

She had been planning to give Lin Jing a quasi-celestial emperor weapon as protection.

Before she even got the chance—he already knew how to wield a Celestial Artifact?!

What kind of joke was this?

She had been peerless her entire life, yet two things had always haunted her:

One, she couldn’t transform her form.

Two, she couldn’t wield the Celestial Artifact left behind by the Demon Court.

Now, the transformation issue had been solved—by Lin Jing.

Next… was she supposed to ask the Holy Son to teach her how to wield a Celestial Artifact?

Absurd.

"The direction of the sword... Martial Emperor City, Western Desert… is he planning to ride the Celestial Sword to support the Sky-Splitting Sword Spirit?" the Martial Emperor’s eyes gleamed.

"Looks like it." The Sun Buddha Lord sighed. "It seems the Demon Court’s Holy Son is the true chosen of this realm’s fortune. From humble origins, he’s come this far—much harder than those born into greatness."

The Bone Emperor, Lord of the Netherworld Hall... also a Dao-Seeking expert.

He, too, could sense what the others sensed.

The Artifact Ghost had escaped, and the furious Bone Emperor had resolved to capture the Sword Spirit of the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor to compensate.

But before that could happen,

A flash of Celestial Sword power burst from the Ancient Kingdom, and a terrifying sword light crossed from its heart—aimed to pierce him!

“D*mn you, beast-taming brat!!!”

Had he had eyeballs, they’d be bloodshot now.

This opportunity to control a Celestial Artifact should have belonged to the Netherworld Hall!

How did this beast-taming brat deserve it?!
