Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 441 - 12: Heaven and Earth Sect
The four seasons cycled, yet another year had passed.
During this period, Lin Jing’s Heavenly Demon Incarnation successfully broke through to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
The primordial spirit of the Heavenly Demon Incarnation is somewhat different from a normal primordial spirit, or more accurately, the Celestial Demon Scripture, originating from the Demon Sect in the Immortal Realm, differs from conventional cultivation techniques.
The Celestial Demon Scripture enhances its power by devouring the luck of others, dragon veins, and the world, and also grants the cultivator a divine technique, which allows for perfect possession.
Therefore, the bodies used by cultivators of the Celestial Demon Sect are generally not their own but the bodies of other prodigies they have possessed.
If the Celestial Demon Scripture is cultivated well, even a mortal body demon cultivator can change their physique by possessing an immortal body.
Thus, the primordial spirit of the Heavenly Demon Incarnation tends to specialize in body possession and does not rely on the Power of Heaven and Earth.
Besides this, during this period, the true form of the Ice Soul Gu also intended to continue its Divinity Transformation, but Lin Jing suppressed and stopped its breakthrough, forcing it to hold back its cultivation level.
Lin Jing’s plan was for the Ice Soul Gu’s necromancy gu incarnation to follow him, the true form, to conveniently practice the necromancy secret technique and control the corpses of immortal beasts.
Whereas the true form of the Ice Soul Gu would follow the Heavenly Demon Incarnation, granting it certain sword dao insights so it could better disguise itself as a successor of the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor.
The reason for not letting the true form of the Ice Soul Gu break through is that after its breakthrough, merging with the Heavenly Demon Incarnation could increase the burden on the incarnate’s body. After all, Lin Jing’s original true form is the one who signed a contract with the Ice Soul Gu, and the Heavenly Demon Incarnation cannot borrow the power of the Ice Soul Gu as freely as the original form.
Moreover, without the bloodline contract to blur individual distinctions, it would be very difficult for the Ice Soul Gu to hide around the incarnation, so it can only rely on the illusion technique of the Magic Mushroom to conceal itself. Compared to hiding a divinity-transformation Gu insect, it is evidently easier for the Magic Mushroom to hide a nascent-soul Gu insect.
"It is time."
Having stayed in this Sacred Worship Mountain for over two years, Lin Jing also felt it was time to leave.
Although he wanted to continue cultivating here until reaching the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage, seeing Gu Youran’s predicament made Lin Jing somewhat worried about the situation of his senior sister and others.
He planned to settle down to improve his cultivation level after confirming that there was no danger for his companions in the Celestial Essence Realm.
Buzz!
Lin Jing used a Heavenly Demon step to reach the place where the Mountain God’s consciousness was dormant, intending to have his final showdown with this Mountain God.
"Huh?"
The Mountain God woke up in shock, its consciousness locked onto Lin Jing, who was floating in the air, and said, "It seems you’ve finally decided to leave, hurry up."
"Take your so-called princess sister and leave my territory together!!"
Lin Jing smiled and said, "Mountain God friend, no need to rush me away. I said that to thank you for letting me cultivate here, I would present you a big gift before leaving!"
"No need, just go." The Mountain God thought Lin Jing was dawdling. Did it lack his so-called gift?
If he really wanted to give a big gift, he wouldn’t have coveted the mountain god’s dragon vein.
"Why not listen to me first."
Lin Jing calmly said, "I wonder if Mountain God friend has any desire to leave the Source Realm and venture into the broader starry sky?"
"The Source Realm is a place where various powers of the Immortal Realm allow geniuses from different realms to train, with the highest cultivation possible being Divinity Transformation peak. This rule doesn’t matter much for cultivators from outside since they can leave this place anytime, but for native beings like Mountain God friend, it’s unfortunate."
"Not only are you restricted by the Heavenly Dao, making it impossible to break through to Void Profound, you also can’t leave the Source Realm like outsiders."
"You are doomed to stay at the Divine Transformation peak for life until you die in the Source Realm. Am I right?"
The Mountain God frowned internally.
"With your talent and foundation, leaving the Source Realm, breaking through to Void Profound, and even Ascending to Immortality to become a sacred mountain in the Immortal Realm is not impossible." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"The limitation on you, Mountain God friend, or rather all native spirit monsters of the Source Realm, is that you cannot leave the Source Realm!"
"But I have a way."
"You have a way?? What way can you have?? The rule set by the great powers of the Immortal Realm that Source Realm beings can’t leave this realm!"
"Not even the cultivators of the Celestial Demon Sect can break the Source Realm rules and allow high-level cultivators to enter or remain in the Source Realm!" The Mountain God snorted coldly.
Lin Jing said, "Rather than saying it’s a way, it’s more like a guess."
"You should already know that I am a beast-taming cultivator."
"That squirrel that absorbs the power of plants, that carp that absorbs the immortal fire from the earth’s core, are both my pet beasts!"
"Although they are individual entities, in the determination of the Source Realm, they and I are considered one entity. They can enter and leave the Source Realm as a single entity with me!"
"This could be a loophole deliberately left by my faction in the Superior Immortal Realm. After all, that faction is considered top-tier among many in the Immortal Realm."
"So, Mountain God friend, do you think that if you signed a contract with a cultivator practicing the Beast Taming Technique from outside the realm, the Source Realm might consider you as a single entity, allowing you to leave the Source Realm through it?"
This was the effortless strategy Lin Jing thought of to subdue powerful native spirit monsters.
After he finished speaking, the Mountain God was startled internally.
Lin Jing continued, "Of course, currently this is just my guess. However, I will verify this guess next. I will find a native being from the Source Realm and sign a contract with it to see if I can take it out of the Source Realm and into the outer world."
"If the experiment succeeds, it will provide the beings of the Source Realm with a way out into the external world."
"If it fails, there’s no loss..."
"You human brat..." The Mountain God, seeing the big picture Lin Jing painted, was moved. Because it did seem doable?
"What do you want!!!"
But the Mountain God didn’t believe Lin Jing had such good intentions and was certain Lin Jing must have ulterior motives!
"Me, my objective is quite simple too."
"Coming alone to the Source Realm, I’m insignificant and weak, probably struggling to compete for the celestial source against the Cultivation Alliance and the Celestial Demon Sect."
"So I hope to have many, like Mountain God friend, powerful spirit monsters who also long to leave the Source Realm to assist me in gaining more immortal power. In exchange, as I said, I will try my best to help everyone find an opportunity to leave the Source Realm! At the same time, I will share my cultivation technique with everyone for independent study."
"Of course, acquiring the celestial source is not only for my personal benefit but also to assist everyone in leaving the Source Realm."
"If we can use the immortal power to improve the Beast Taming Technique into the Immortal Beast Taming Technique, it would undoubtedly increase the chances of leaving the Source Realm using it!"
The Mountain God fell into contemplation.
"If Mountain God friend agrees, we can continue to discuss forming a cooperative relationship. I plan to establish an organization composed entirely of native spirit monsters of the Source Realm! Since all members are naturally born and nurtured by heaven and earth, let’s call it the ’Heaven and Earth Society.’
Leaving the Source Realm’s opportunity...
The Mountain God found it extremely tempting. If a weak cultivator proposed this, it wouldn’t bother to respond, but Lin Jing was different. He was already an enigma with great power, so it thought it was worth trying.
"I agree, but ’Heaven and Earth Society’ sounds a bit awkward."
"It’s fine, then how about ’Heaven and Earth Sect’? Mountain God friend, you can be the Deputy Sect Leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect. Next, you and I can invite more ambitious spirit monsters to join, how about that?" Lin Jing, with his hands behind his back, didn’t expect it to be so easy. Indeed, cultivation in the realm is not just about fighting; the tenet of the Beast Taming Sect is to avoid combat by persuasion whenever possible.
