Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 426 - 123: Arrival

In the Ancient Domain, the Celestial Essence Grand Assembly is nearing its end.

At this stage, the top contenders on the golden ranking no longer challenge one another.

Everyone is well aware of their own abilities.

Moreover, as they are about to enter the Source Realm, these top ten no longer benefit from the golden ranking’s boost. The exact position is no longer a matter of concern; securing a spot in the top ten and ensuring entry to the Source Realm is enough to achieve their goal.

Currently, the competition is mainly among those ranked eleventh to hundredth. Since the top ten are departing from the Celestial Essence Continent, those behind them will not miss this opportunity.

Once the top ten leave, the remaining contenders will be the leaders among the Celestial Essence Continent’s talents, and now they must desperately showcase themselves.

Apart from some talents sparring with each other, many prominent figures on the Celestial Essence Continent have gathered in the Ancient Country’s Ancient Domain, including the Celestial Essence Daoists who have been maintaining the realm barrier, all of whom have now set aside their tasks.

"It seems we have reached the end."

The top ten positions remain unchanged, and none of the talents behind seems inclined to challenge the top ten. Some of the Daoists plan to leave, uninterested in watching the rest scrambling for rank.

"It’s been impressive, but it’s a pity that person didn’t attend the Celestial Essence Grand Assembly!"

Some strong individuals sighed in regret.

"Indeed, that monstrous talent who mastered demonic cultivation secret techniques and the Beast Taming Dao, capable of making the golden ranking solely through pet beasts, didn’t come. It’s a real pity."

"Even without a single battle, the golden ranking still places him at sixth, his position unwavering, indicating terrifying strength."

"His foundation is there! I speculate that Lin Jing’s true power is on par with the Demon Court Saintess, or perhaps even stronger! The Demon Court Saintess, who contracted the Sea God Palace Crown Prince and Young Master Long Liu, stands almost at the pinnacle of Divinity Transformation on the continent. It’s a pity she encountered Princess Youran with an Immortal Body. Even Prince Gu, who hasn’t made a move, sits ahead of Princess Youran, implying he too has cultivated an Immortal Body."

"No matter how shameless the Beast Taming Dao is, against an Immortal Body... it’s likely even the Demon Court Saint Child’s treasure beasts are powerless."

"Even the Celestial Demon Body might not suffice. Even if the Demon Court Saint Child forcefully elevates his realm to the Void Profound, the divinity of an Immortal Body might still reverse defeat in the Void Profound. Don’t forget, it was the First Ancient Emperor who destroyed the Celestial Demon Sect."

At the Celestial Essence Grand Assembly, all the strong lamented that one person did not appear, unable to witness the showdown between the most notorious talent of ten years ago with the current Princess Youran and the Ancient Race Crown Prince.

A few years ago, although Lin Jing was only ranked sixth on the golden ranking, his reputation far exceeded the first-ranked Prince Gu and the second-ranked Princess Youran.

Many believed that Lin Jing did not challenge them simply because he did not want to waste his lifespan. Even if the Longevity Body is used, it’s unnecessary. The debate over what’s more important between the golden ranking’s boost and lifespan persists, with most opinions suggesting Lin Jing, with his fully activated Celestial Demon Body aided by several treasure beasts, would be certain to defeat the Ancient Race Crown Prince and Princess Youran.

It’s not that Lin Jing couldn’t win, but the Demon Court Saint Child believed there wasn’t much value in winning, so he did not fight.

However, now with Princess Youran showcasing her Immortal Body and defeating Xu Qingyao, public opinion immediately reversed.

After all, this is an Immortal Body.

No matter how strong the Celestial Demon Body, it certainly cannot defeat an Immortal Body.

Moreover, Princess Youran’s foundational realm has already reached mid Divinity Transformation.

The Ancient Race Crown Prince’s foundational realm has reached late Divinity Transformation.

Yet, Lin Jing, according to the golden ranking’s records, is currently only at Nascent Soul Great Perfection in his regular state.

The gap is too vast.

Even Daoists think Lin Jing has no need to contend with the two talents of the Ancient Race.

Because within the Source Realm, it is a battleground below Void Profound. Even if Lin Jing were to pay a great price and borrow power above Void Profound to defeat the two Ancient Race talents, it would be meaningless, as that power is destined to be unusable in the Source Realm; it’s just an illusion, a mirage.

The same power, all the strong know, including the Void Profound Ghost Mother.

Today, the secret of Lin Jing manipulating the Immortal Artifact has also been uncovered by the strong through an investigation by the Nether Hall.

The true identity of the Void Profound Ghost Mother, a war weapon of the Immortal Palace, is no longer a secret.

What is powerful is the Immortal Palace war weapon, what is powerful is the Void Profound Ghost Mother, and this Demon Court Saint Child merely has heaven-defying luck in knowing the Ghost Mother and borrowing the Ghost Mother’s power. This power, clearly, has nothing to do with Lin Jing himself, nor does it correlate with the Source Realm.

The Second Ancient Emperor, although aware that Lin Jing has sealed the Ghost Mother’s strength and formed a contract, also knows this Ghost Mother is barred from entering the Source Realm.

Moreover, the sealed Ghost Mother cannot control an Immortal Artifact, at most a quasi-Immortal Artifact.

However, the existence of the Void Profound Ghost Mother indeed bolsters the foundation of the Demon Court, becoming a key for other demon beast forces choosing to submit to the Demon Court.

"Has he come?" Most people are now no longer optimistic about Lin Jing, but the exception is the Lord of the Demon Court.

The Demon Emperor knows that Lin Jing revived the First Ancient Emperor using the Divine Spirit Book, inquiring about the specifics of the Divine Spirit Book, and learned that Lin Jing once defeated a Creation Immortal Body in the Grotto Heaven!

Defeating even a Creation Immortal Body, why fear the Ancient Race’s Acquired Immortal Body? This is the Demon Emperor’s confidence in Lin Jing.

At that time, Lin Jing had not even contracted the Ghost Mother yet, yet was able to defeat an Immortal Body of the same level, and now, he can only be stronger. His foundational realm, while a bit low, need only be supplemented with the Celestial Demon Body, and might not require reaching Void Profound to combat the Immortal Body.

"It’s up to you now."

Once the Demon Emperor realized Lin Jing had arrived, other cultivators quickly noticed, perceiving someone standing in the sky.

When they gazed at the figure in the sky, all pupils constricted, regardless of whether they were powerful or talented, young or old, high or low in cultivation, because this person’s aura was too bizarre, and the entity he commanded too terrifying.

Beneath the clouds, a black arm as massive as a giant’s floated in the air, with a black-clad figure standing on the back of the enormous hand... As for the menacing face on the palm gazing down, it was chilling at first sight, clearly not an orthodox method.

The Demon Court Saint Child, Lin Jing, stood nonchalantly atop the Celestial Demon arm, observing everything below.

As the Daoists took notice of him, he only then rode the Celestial Demon arm down slowly, like operating a flying sword, descending to the ground.

"I apologize...for coming late."

"May I still challenge?"

Lin Jing’s eyes swept one by one across the Daoists, finally settling on Prince Gu and Princess Youran, the first talent to dare to act arrogantly in front of a crowd of Daoists.

Demon Court Saint Child!

Realizing the identity of the newcomer, many internally exclaimed, especially those continent talents who had only heard Lin Jing’s name but never met him in person.

"Naturally..." The Second Ancient Emperor, sitting in the highest position, squinted at the tardy Lin Jing, this is...

Great Accomplishment Celestial Demon Finger?
