Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 432 - 3: Robbery

Lin Jing furrowed his brow.

He questioned whether, during the transference, Gu Xinghe and Gu Youran, that brother and sister, had sapped his fortune, why else would he end up in such a place.

"Lust Worship Mountain... This Mountain God, could its cultivation have reached Void Profound or Inquiry?" he asked.

If that were the case, it would indeed be difficult to leave.

"No." said the young man with disheveled hair: "It is only equivalent to the peak Divinity Transformation Realm, however..."

"However, the mountains and rivers of the Source Realm are rather special, gathering the Power of Heaven and Earth within their being, with an almost infinite lifespan, not only can they perfectly harness the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Source Realm, but they have also lingered in this realm for tens of thousands of years. Though their realm matches that of Divinity Transformation Cultivators, in terms of strength... even those with an Immortal Body within the Divinity Transformation Realm struggle against them."

"Even some indigenous Spirit Monsters who fear not the rules of the Heavenly Dao of the Source Realm will seize the Immortal Source alongside cultivators from outside... This Mountain God is relatively reasonable compared to them."

Lin Jing understood, it seemed the intelligence acquired from the Skysound Realm was incomplete.

Apart from the Celestial Demon Sect and the Cultivation Alliance, without the supervision of great powers from the Immortal Realm, even the indigenous Spirit Monsters of the Source Realm have joined in the struggle for the Immortal Source.

Although it seems they are restricted by the rules of the Heavenly Dao and can’t break through to Void Profound, as native life of the Source Realm, this place is undoubtedly their stronghold!

"So, fellow Daoist, did you also escape into this Lust Worship Mountain because you were pursued?" Lin Jing inquired.

The disheveled young man replied: "That’s right, currently in this Lust Worship Mountain, aside from you and me, there are three others... we all had to flee into this Lust Worship Mountain to seek the Mountain God’s protection after offending formidable enemies."

"But just as mentioned, entering is easy, leaving is hard, unless I offer enough resources, it won’t let me out, otherwise, I can only breakthrough to Void Profound here and leave the Source Realm directly."

"I don’t want to leave the Source Realm yet, but I lack the resources to offer to the Mountain God, so for now, I can only keep condensing top-grade Spirit Stones with mana here, accumulating resources for a chance to leave."

"However, who knows how long this will take... Besides, there is another method, which is to seize resources from other cultivators who also entered the Lust Worship Mountain, consolidate them, and offer them to the Mountain God." He chuckled: "The Mountain God only protects those inside from being harmed by those outside, but among those inside, it doesn’t interfere in mutual harm."

"Those outside refrain from entering also because entering is easy, but leaving is hard, and the cost exceeds the gain from killing the enemy."

"Therefore, fellow Daoist, I’ve told you so much, shouldn’t you also make a statement? You’ve just entered the Source Realm, surely you’ve brought plenty of resources from the outside, hand them over, though you are half-step into the Divinity Transformation Realm, even if you’re a prodigy of some realm, you absolutely can’t withstand even a single move from me. You and I have no personal animosity, I won’t take your life, hand over the resources, and I’ll find you a treasured land within the mountain for you to cultivate well and strive to leave soon... it’s good for both of us."

Just as the cultivator surnamed Fang finished speaking, his figure instantly appeared before Lin Jing, looking at him calmly, fully displaying the might of Divinity Transformation, causing massive whirlpools in the sky’s clouds.

In response, Lin Jing stood on the mountain peak, also looked at the other calmly, with no surprise, having already noticed this person harbored certain malice towards him.

"You’ve mistaken the person, but considering your intelligence, I give you three breaths to disappear from my divine sense range, and I will not pursue the matter," Lin Jing spoke flatly.

"How audacious—" the cultivator surnamed Fang squinted his eyes.

Flattered as half-step Divinity Transformation, disparaged as just a Nascent Soul Child.

Dare defy himself, a peak Divinity Transformation, really took the words "fellow Daoist" to heart.

Boom!

He wasted no more words, directly reaching out his hand, gathering mana to form a True Essence Hand Seal.

To deal with a cultivator a whole major realm below himself, he was too lazy to even bother with magic.

However, though the most basic attack, when wielded by a Divinity Transformation cultivator, it was formidable, a hand seal that blotted out the sky, with the palm descending as if the sky itself were collapsing.

"With such mere capability, dare to plunder?"

"In terms of true essence quality, you can’t even make it into the top ten among the Divinity Transformation prodigies of my realm."

Lin Jing merely raised his arm slowly, using his finger as a sword, and as Lin Jing’s power fluctuations also instantly reached Divinity Transformation, a sword qi instantly pierced the Big Hand Seal, severing the five fingers, with spiritual qi surging, reverberating through the heavens.

This was certainly not Lin Jing using the Celestial Demon Body, dealing with a cultivator chased here into hiding wasn’t worth his longevity, instead, Lin Jing fused with the Ice Soul Gu to gain a temporary boost in strength.

"A Sword Cultivator? The power contained within the Sword Intent of your sword qi rivals that of a peak Divinity Transformation!" Seeing Lin Jing’s use of a Secret Technique to boost his realm, moreover being a formidable attack of a Sword Cultivator prodigy, the cultivator surnamed Fang momentarily bewildered, yet still dismissive.

Unable to simply take down Lin Jing, expending a bit more effort was no great loss.

"Wind God Bow, appear!"

He retrieved a top-grade spiritual bow wreathed in storms from his storage bag, yet before he could release the first arrow, the cultivator surnamed Fang’s expression abruptly changed, discovering he suddenly couldn’t control his mana, with numerous venomous insects seemingly appearing out of thin air within his meridians.

"Poison! When!"

He abruptly looked at Lin Jing, who was calmly seated in the sky, arms lowered, watching him.

In the next moment, Lin Jing activated the power of the venomous Gu, causing the body’s movements of the cultivator surnamed Fang to convulse violently, he desperately swallowed antidote pills but couldn’t suppress the toxin, even forcefully rousing mana to suppress it even at the cost of tearing his meridians, but he had never in his life encountered poison so vicious, no matter the struggle, the toxin could not be subdued, instead, its activity was provoked.

He howled in agony, horrified to discover this poison was consuming his vitality, losing ten years of lifespan in a brief moment.

"Mercy, grandfather, spare me!"

Realizing he was completely unable to neutralize the poison, he immediately yielded, yet Lin Jing remained unmoved, and after a moment, the sweat-soaked young man gritted his teeth, producing all his resources and tossing them to Lin Jing, saying, "I admit defeat, admit defeat, these were meant as tribute to the Mountain God, now it’s all yours!"

His spirit collapsed, what was this, how could this just-entered-Nascent Soul cultivator in the Source Realm be so terrifying, was this a Sword Cultivator or a Poison Cultivator?

Not only did he possess Sword Intent rivaling peak Divinity Transformation, but his poisoning methods and the potency of his toxic arts rendered even a peak Divinity Transformation like him defenseless!

"I have planted a Gu poison within you, don’t entertain any ideas, even if you break through to Void Profound and escape back to your cultivation realm, the Gu poison will still activate, and no one will save you. Next, answer my questions." Lin Jing looked at the young man, struggling and rolling on the ground, shaking his head.

Though this person’s cultivation was high, judging by the rankings of the Fortune Gold List of the Celestial Essence Realm, his strength could only rank around thirtieth or twentieth, it seemed he hailed from a cultivation realm far weaker than Celestial Essence.

"Who pursued you to this place."

"It was the Cultivation Alliance, a cultivator from the Cultivation Alliance. A few years ago, a mass of Immortal Source emerged somewhere in the Source Realm, countless prodigies raced there to compete for it. Knowing I had no chance, I took the opportunity to sneak into the headquarters of the Cultivation Alliance, Immortal City, intending to steal something, yet little did I know at that time there were formidable prodigies stationed there... and thus, I was chased all the way here."

Lin Jing fell silent, this guy... which cultivation realm’s prodigy was he? Truly pathetic.

"And the other three..." Lin Jing continued to inquire.

"The strengths of the other three are not that different from mine, none of us can do much to each other, they are cultivating in other parts of the mountain, Lust Worship Mountain is vast, we usually mind our own business... It seems the other three were pursued here by cultivators from the Celestial Demon Sect."

"I see." Lin Jing, after asking, proceeded to inquire about the most crucial question.

"In this Source Realm, information on the most powerful cultivators, tell me."
