Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 77Book 3: : Return to Thousand Illusions Mountain

Vol 3 Chapter 77: Return to Thousand Illusions Mountain

"What's wrong?"

Senior Sister Xu Qingyao saw Lin Jing's expression suddenly change as he looked in a certain direction and couldn't help but ask.

She followed his gaze but saw nothing.

However, she could sense that from other directions, unknown powerful figures were secretly observing this place.

This wasn’t surprising. With so many Demon Emperors descending upon the Myriad Beast Sect with such a commotion, it was bound to attract the caution of local experts.

"I feel like my illusion has been seen through." Lin Jing transmitted his thoughts to his senior sister.

"Who could possibly see through your illusions?" Xu Qingyao paused. She was well aware of Lin Jing's mastery of illusions, and on top of that, with the Chameleon Demon Core she had given him, even Void Mystical Stage cultivators shouldn't be able to see through it!

"Wait… Thousand Illusions Mountain." Senior Sister suddenly realized something.

Lin Jing reached the same conclusion: "In this Senluo Path, the only one capable of seeing through my illusions is probably the Grand Elder of Thousand Illusions Mountain. I thought that after forming my Spell Spirit Origin, I could hide from her, but it seems her illusion arts have also reached the Spell Spirit Origin level—or perhaps she's even refined a true Illusion Dao Spell Spirit Origin."

Xu Qingyao recalled, "Before planning to take over the Myriad Beast Sect, I investigated the situation in Senluo Path. The Grand Elder of Thousand Illusions Mountain is indeed an illusionary genius. She was born with an Illusion Body, her mana inherently carries illusionary properties, and she possesses Illusion Eyes. Even as a mortal, her gaze had a mesmerizing effect. Once she achieved mastery, no one dared to offend her, because even those one or two realms above her couldn't even find her presence."

"This is exactly why Thousand Illusions Mountain has stood firm for a thousand years. Even Void Mystical Stage forces wouldn't dare underestimate them. After all, facing a true illusion master, even if a Void Mystical Grand Cultivator himself isn’t afraid, without a means of countering her, offending her would be a nightmare for the lower-level cultivators in their sect."

"Senior Sister, please accompany me to Thousand Illusions Mountain once more!" Lin Jing decided to investigate.

Their spiritual exchange was incredibly fast. After entrusting Elder Li Hai with managing the Myriad Beast Sect and ordering the Demon Emperor guardians to stand by and protect the sect, which had lost its Guardian Treasure, the two immediately turned and rushed toward Thousand Illusions Mountain.

This sudden action directly startled the Sect Master of the Flower Sect.

The Demon Court… wouldn’t be planning to swallow Thousand Illusions Mountain right after taking over the Myriad Beast Sect, would they?

Could they be aiming to take over all of Senluo Path?!

...

At Thousand Illusions Mountain, Grand Elder Huan Li had just returned to the sect when she cursed herself for letting curiosity get the better of her and glancing over at them.

Before she could even think of a way to handle the situation, two familiar auras had already descended upon Thousand Illusions Mountain.

Sect Master Huan Gongming was alarmed and was just about to go out to investigate when the voice of Grand Elder Huan Li reached his ears.

"Gongming, step back. Leave this to me."

"Yes, Grand Elder." Huan Gongming withdrew and entered the core area of the Sect Protection Formation, awaiting the outcome of the negotiations.

Outside the mountain, Huan Li gracefully flew into the sky and looked at the descending Xu Qingyao and Lin Jing.

"I wonder, what brings the honorable Third Holy Maiden of the Demon Court to Thousand Illusions Mountain?"

"Senior Sister, it's her." Lin Jing confirmed, "She's clearly over a thousand years old but still looks like a little girl. Most importantly, I can sense that she's using an illusionary form, yet I can't see through it to her true body. Her mastery of illusions is definitely beyond mine."

"Thousand Illusions Venerable, you know too much. It seems that today… wait a minute, what is 'loli'?" Senior Sister Xu Qingyao glared at the Grand Elder of Thousand Illusions Mountain before turning to Lin Jing with a questioning look.

"Uh… it kinda means not a big guy, it's a term from your hometown’s dialect."

"I see." Senior Sister nodded.

"D*mn it, they actually talk it out first." The Senluo Path Grand Elder suddenly cursed under her breath. "You just glanced at them a couple of times—do they really plan to annex your Thousand Illusions Mountain just like they did with the Myriad Beast Sect?"

"Tell them that you, Shulanping, are not as easy to mess with as the Myriad Beast Sect."

"Besides, that brat infiltrated your Senluo Path and secretly learned your sect’s secret techniques—what do you have to say about that?"

Just as Xu Qingyao had said, the Grand Elder of Senluo Path was indeed less confident than the Myriad Beast Sect’s Sect Master.

When faced with the strong, the Myriad Beast Sect had no choice but to submit;resistance wasn't even an option.

But Thousand Illusions Mountain was different. Grand Elder Huan Li’s illusion arts were at their peak. If she truly wanted to hide or escape, unless a supreme powerhouse made a move, few could actually capture her.

"Grand Elder, there's no need to panic. I have indeed learned Thousand Illusions Mountain’s techniques, but how could that be considered stealing? To this day, I am still a disciple of Thousand Illusions Mountain. Could it be that Grand Elder does not acknowledge me as her disciple?" Lin Jing chuckled.

The corner of the Thousand Illusions Mountain Grand Elder’s mouth twitched—she absolutely couldn’t acknowledge this disciple.

If word got out that Lin Jing had once joined Thousand Illusions Mountain, could the sect ever have peace again?

The Yin Corpse Sect, the Gu God Sect, the Sky Lion Clan—any one of them was not something Thousand Illusions Mountain could afford to offend.

And, of course, the Demon Court… they couldn't afford to offend them either.

After all, if she remembered correctly, there was a clan within the Demon Court known as the Chameleons, who were also extremely proficient in illusions. Though she had absolute confidence in her own illusions, she wouldn’t dare underestimate the illusion masters among the demon beasts.

More importantly, Lin Jing was still so young, yet his mastery of illusions was already close to hers. She couldn’t even begin to imagine the heights his illusionary arts might reach in the future.

"You two should leave. I didn't see anything, I don't know anything, and from this day forth, Thousand Illusions Mountain will be sealed off for five hundred years and remain uninvolved in worldly affairs." The Thousand Illusions Grand Elder waved her hand, dismissing them.

"That won't do." Xu Qingyao pondered for a moment before saying, "Thousand Illusions Venerable, I see that your Thousand Illusions Mountain is already struggling to maintain its legacy. For a thousand years, no disciple has emerged with the potential to reach the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage. Why not continue recognizing him as your disciple? In the future, he can inherit Thousand Illusions Mountain. With his unparalleled talent in the Illusion Dao, he certainly won’t tarnish the name of your sect."

"You’re already at an advanced age. It’s time to let go of mundane affairs and wholeheartedly pursue the Void Mystical Stage. At your current cultivation level, the sect is no longer of much help to you. How about this—let him take over Thousand Illusions Mountain, and you come with me to the Demon Court? Your sect specializes in illusionary beasts, right? When the time comes, I’ll introduce you to the various Demon Ancestors to discuss the Dao together. What do you think?"

"Uh…" Thousand Illusions Grand Elder Huan Li was stunned.

She looked at Lin Jing. Indeed, she had never seen an illusion master this monstrous before. If Thousand Illusions Mountain’s legacy was passed to him, it might actually be a blessing rather than a disaster.

Her greatest concern had always been the sect’s inheritance. If that was secured, she could finally focus on pursuing the Void Mystical Stage.

Xu Qingyao had genuinely tempted her.

"I'm sure the Venerable is a wise woman. You won’t regret this choice. Sticking with us is definitely better than letting Thousand Illusions Mountain struggle alone!" Xu Qingyao grinned boldly.

The Grand Elder of Thousand Illusions Mountain’s face darkened.

D*mn it… was this the same thing they told the Myriad Beast Sect’s Sect Master?!
