Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 399 - 96: Servant Cultivation Technique

"...Hasn’t this Grotto Heaven appeared in a long time?"

"According to records, ever since the Immortal Realm got into trouble, the Immortal Palaces of the two realms have cut off communication."

"Indeed, encountering the ’Celestial Essence Realm,’ we should exchange intelligence, but unfortunately, the Grotto Heaven of the two realms also has a battle defeat punishment mechanism. The losing side’s members each fall a minor realm. Otherwise, compared to this opportunity for contact, winning or losing is irrelevant."

On the Celestial Cry Realm side.

Five cultivators, three men, and two women appeared as well.

However, it was particularly notable that their attire was surprisingly uniform, all in top-grade magical clothing of blue and white tones, embroidered with patterns of sun, moon, and stars.

As they saw each other, everyone heard the voice of the Immortal Palace in their ears.

[Rules for the Grotto Heaven Duel between Two Realms: There are five duels in total, each realm must send one person per duel, and no one can participate more than once.]

[In each duel, the winning side will earn points. The victory for the first three duels awards two points each, the fourth duel awards three points, and the fifth duel awards four points. At the end of the five duels, the realm with higher points wins the final victory.]

[The five cultivators from the winning side can each select one ’Divine Body Pill’ from the Immortal Palace’s treasury as a reward. The better the performance, the wider the selection range of Divine Body Pills, and the higher the quality that can be chosen.]

[The Divine Body Pill is refined by an alchemist of the Immortal Palace with the bloodlines of various races. After consumption, it can grant the user a kind of ’acquired divine body’ that does not conflict with their existing physique.]

[Each of the five cultivators from the losing side will fall one minor realm.]

[The first duel will commence in three minutes!]

"Point system!"

Even though both sides wanted to communicate, they still had to prioritize the struggle for the Grotto Heaven.

The point system indicates that the prodigies of the two realms cannot easily rely on one powerful prodigy to achieve victory.

Each person must demonstrate their own value.

"Two, two, two, three, four, for a total of eleven points. We must secure at least seven points or more to win."

"The battles for three and four points are the most crucial. Who will go for three, and who for four?"

On the Celestial Essence Realm’s side, Bai Yuran spoke up: "Lord Saint Son, Ling Yue Sword Immortal, and His Highness the Third Prince, it’s great to have you here. As you know, I’m not good at fighting, so I’ll go for the two-point battle. The more important battlegrounds are in your hands!"

"I just broke through to Nascent Soul; whether there’s a reward or not, I really don’t want to fall in realm..."

"Hey, hey, hey." Alchemist Du Zao couldn’t help but make his presence known when Bai Yuran ignored him.

"This shouldn’t be a dilemma, let’s have him go to the four-point battleground, which is also the final battle; he should be able to secure four points for the Celestial Essence Realm." Ling Yue Sword Immortal looked at Lin Jing, and nobody on site objected to her suggestion.

Bai Yuran glanced at Lin Jing and pouted. This fellow Lin Jing had promised to team up with her before leaving the Celestial Secret City. However, by the time she emerged from seclusion, Lin Jing had already become the Demon Court Saint Child, and humans and demons were separated. Nonetheless, Lin Jing’s strength was undoubtedly unmatched on the Celestial Essence Continent.

Although he seemed to just be at the Early-Stage Nascent Soul now, as Lin Jing who had the Celestial Demon Body and had mastered the Way of Commanding Beasts, the power he could display would indeed make the Divine Transformation prodigies of the Celestial Essence Continent tremble in fear.

The Third Prince and Du Zao also believed that if Lin Jing couldn’t secure the four-point battleground, then none of the others present could either.

"Let Brother Lin be the candidate for the four-point duel. What do you think, Brother Lin, or should we employ a strategy of conceding the four-point position? After all, we still don’t know about the strength of the Celestial Cry Realm."

The Third Prince wore a thoughtful expression: "Their attire is that of disciples from the Ancient Immortal Palace, which means after the contact between the lower realm and the Immortal Realm was severed, the Celestial Cry Realm has always been under the rule of the Lower Immortal Palace. That palace hasn’t been overthrown, and all kinds of Immortal Realm secret techniques and inheritances have likely been well-preserved, which might... not be easy to deal with."

"I’m fine with it. If I go for the four points, it shouldn’t reach the point where I will lose before I even enter the stage, should it?" Lin Jing hesitated.

Wondering if it would be possible to substitute a pet beast for the Heavenly-Reaching Tower’s alchemist...

A reward of an acquired divine body is already quite decent; although Lin Jing doesn’t need an additional divine body for the moment, who would mind having one more?

Of course, mainly because Lin Jing doesn’t want to fall a minor realm.

"It won’t." Ling Yue Sword Immortal glanced at Lin Jing and said, "Do you not trust me? You go for the four points, and I’ll go for the three points. With seven points between the two of us, we can seize the opportunity in this Grotto Heaven."

"As for the other three, it doesn’t matter if they lose."

"...Though that’s the case, His Highness the Third Prince should still be quite strong, right?" Bai Yuran chuckled awkwardly.

The Third Prince from the Ancient Country, though not as gifted and well-known across the continent as the Prince Gu, is one of those more talented offspring born after the Second Ancient Emperor decided to create heirs.

Moreover, the Ancient Emperor hasn’t skimped on providing resources to the Ancient Race...

"I will win too." The Third Prince spoke calmly.

"Can you at least stop ignoring me... although I’m an alchemist, I’m not weak, you know, rank nineteenth on the Golden List!" Du Zao complained.

He was the ultimate victor of the alchemy conference of some realm and had become a nominal disciple of the Tower Master due to his profound accomplishments in the Alchemy Dao... But when it comes to conventional fighting, it’s evident that others don’t have confidence in him.

"I’ll trust you this time." Lin Jing looked at Bai Yuran and said, "It’s been a while. Do you think this arrangement is workable? Can you foresee the final outcome?"

Bai Yuran smiled wryly: "Don’t make it difficult for me. Within the Grotto Heaven, my abilities will be significantly affected, but I don’t think there should be an issue."

"I’ll take the lead in the first battle... don’t promise victory, but I’ll definitely gather more intelligence for you all."

The few of them exchanged glances before nodding.

"It’s in your hands, Master Bai." The Third Prince smiled slightly, having realized that the young junior sister from Celestial Secret Tower might have to employ that secret technique. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

...

Before long, the three minutes had passed.

On the Celestial Essence Realm side, it was Celestial Secret Tower’s young junior sister Bai Yuran, a cultivator at Early-Stage Nascent Soul, who stepped forth, while on the Celestial Cry Realm side, it was also a female cultivator, cute and pure-looking, at Mid-Stage Nascent Soul.

"Hello, friend from the Celestial Essence Realm." The Celestial Cry female cultivator spoke with a smile, "How should I address you? I am Yue E, an Immortal Palace cultivator from the Celestial Cry Realm."

"Bai Yuran, cultivator from the Celestial Secret Tower of the Celestial Essence Ancient Country." The young junior sister from Celestial Secret Tower also smiled slightly. After she spoke, a faint doubt lingered in the hearts of those on the Celestial Cry Realm side.

Could it be that the Immortal Palace of the Celestial Essence Realm has fallen from power, and that’s why cultivators here form forces under the banner of a country...

"Among the five on the opposing side, it seems only one cultivates the Immortal Palace’s cultivation technique, that youth in the green shirt, who’s probably practicing the Beast Taming Technique of the Immortal Palace. The others likely are not of Immortal Palace cultivation techniques." In the Celestial Cry Realm’s group, a scholarly young man spoke up.

"Beast Taming Technique? That technique for feeding spiritual beasts taught to the errand disciples?" A short youth muttered.
