Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 446 - 17: Celestial Demon Saint Heir
"Continue...?" Shangguan Ming’s mouth twitched.
Continue what?!
With such an incident occurring, the entry assessment definitely can’t go on.
It’s not that he was afraid of Lin Jing.
However, he was indeed very surprised at Lin Jing’s prowess!
It seems that, being able to train in the "Beast Taming Technique" and become a representative of the Celestial Essence Immortal Palace, Lin Jing’s talent is definitely stronger than he imagined. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The Beast Taming Dao seems to have been cultivated to the extreme by this person before him.
In that lightning-fast exchange just now, although his body didn’t keep up, his Divine Sense observed very closely the moment when Lin Jing and the Void Beast locked gazes.
Lin Jing exuded an aura that intimidated the Void Beast tremendously, causing it to break out in cold sweat.
The Void Beast was like it had encountered a more terrifying beast, unable to move!!
"That Beast Taming Cultivator, his mana has an incredible suppressive effect on ’beasts,’ akin to the god among beasts!"
In Immortal City, there were not only Human Race Cultivators but also shape-shifted demon tribe cultivators, and their perception was sharper than Shangguan’s. Although it wasn’t specifically targeting them, they too felt a great terror in that instant!
However, when thinking carefully, it was understandable. As a Beast Taming Cultivator, without some means, it would be challenging to suppress powerful demon beasts under one’s command.
However, this suppression was overly powerful; with just a glance, it intimidated the Demon Sect’s Saint Heir’s pet. One must know, this Void Beast once had the accomplishment of assassinating an illustrious person before the Hall Master of the Cultivation Alliance Steward Hall and leaving unscathed!
As for this power specifically targeting beasts, Shangguan Ming was simply grateful he was of the human race and need not worry about experiencing the same in a duel.
In his opinion, that Immortal Fire Carp could easily suppress the opponent, also thanks to Lin Jing, the Beast Master, acting as a counterbalance.
"It’s a pity that the Beast Taming Body didn’t evolve along with my improvements to the Beast Taming Technique to intimidate all races," Lin Jing saw Shangguan Ming’s expression and pitied. However, although the intimidation range didn’t increase, simply the suppressive power towards beasts improved significantly with his improved Beast Taming Technique.
Boom!
At this moment, a more powerful youth descended from the White Jade Tower, wearing a purple feathered robe, surrounded by lightning, like an immortal bathing in thunder.
"Hall Master!"
Many cultivators saw him and respectfully spoke. This person was none other than the Master of the Steward Hall, Yan Yunshuang, who possessed the Innate Five Thunder Immortal Body.
Innate Immortal Body and Acquired Immortal Body are fundamentally different existences. Upon Yan Yunshuang’s birth, a Celestial Tribulation descended, striking him, but instead of being harmed, he effortlessly played with the Celestial Tribulation in his hands, born already at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
Moreover, born with him were five different types of Immortal Thunders.
In his Cultivation Realm, Yan Yunshuang was undoubtedly the protagonist of the era. Even after entering the Pangu Continent and the Source Realm, where strong talents gathered, he easily became one of the strongest talents, holding a pivotal position as the Master of the Steward Hall in the Cultivation Alliance Source Realm.
He rarely concerned himself with newcomers entering the city unless their strength was extraordinarily astonishing, and currently, Lin Jing’s strength had surpassed ordinary astonishment.
Although Lin Jing’s dealing with the Void Beast had a "restraining" component, it was undeniable that Lin Jing’s overall strength was stronger than most stewards of the Steward Hall.
Even with his speed comparable to Immortal Thunder, he couldn’t react first to stop the Void Beast from executing the Heaven’s Demon Crossing technique. Even discarding other factors, Lin Jing’s ability to react to an ambush showed that his reaction speed surpassed his own!
This was very scary.
But actually, Lin Jing’s ability to react was due to many reasons: his familiarity with Heaven’s Demon Crossing, his strong Divine Sense, and his preparations with the Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, and Deathworm, which equated to multiple pairs of eyes, all awaiting the opponent’s arrival.
"It’s not dead yet, what do you plan to do with it?" Yan Yunshuang descended, his eyes electrifyingly piercing, his presence imposing, looking towards Lin Jing.
"Plans? Refine it into a pill. Does fellow Daoist have any other ideas?" Lin Jing touched his chin and spoke.
"This Void Beast is an Emperor bloodline, space attribute demon beast, almost certain to become a Realm of Seeking Path Demon Emperor in the future."
"To refine it like this is a waste of nature’s gifts. Hand it over to the Steward Hall; the Steward Hall can buy it with Immortal Qi conceived by celestial sources, ensuring fellow Daoist will not fall short," Yan Yunshuang spoke.
"Immortal Qi... that’s doable." Lin Jing smiled slightly.
In this Source Realm, once every ten years, an ordinary celestial source emerges; every hundred years, a precious celestial source is born; and every thousand years, an exquisite celestial source emerges.
And each celestial source, before its energy is exhausted, periodically generates Immortal Qi.
Lower realm cultivators not tempered by the Immortal Realm cannot refine celestial sources to continuously condense Immortal Power, but they can temporarily store Immortal Qi within their bodies for use as a one-time mana.
With this one-time Immortal Qi, they can cultivate specific Immortal Techniques, thereby enhancing their strength.
It can be said that lower realm cultivators who possess Immortal Qi are no less than a Little Immortal. That demon Mo Luo, owing to the Immortal Qi bestowed by Sheng Kun, mastered an Immortal Technique and managed to turn the tables in a battle with Gu Youran.
Lin Jing reckoned he wouldn’t secure a celestial source anytime soon, so, for the moment, exchanging some Immortal Qi with the Cultivation Alliance for research and use seemed like a good transitional option.
"Junior brother Shangguan, these two are not Celestial Demon Sect spies. Let the assessment end here. Going forward, I hope the two of you can provide portraits of the other eight Celestial Essence Realm cultivators; the Cultivation Alliance will help you find your companions," Yan Yunshuang spoke.
"Also, I wonder if this junior brother is interested in joining the Steward Hall? With your current merits, you can easily join the Steward Hall. Although the Celestial Essence Realm is not yet part of the Cultivation Alliance, I believe it will soon successfully join! With the ability to cultivate a talent like Lin Jing, the Celestial Essence Realm surely can’t be weak," Yan Yunshuang believed.
Additionally, Lin Jing’s actions towards the Celestial Demon Sect’s cultivators, and decisively dealing with the Saint Heir Sheng Kun’s pet, gave Yan Yunshuang the impression of someone ruthless. Yan Yunshuang quite wished for Lin Jing to work by his side.
The Celestial Demon Sect also had its fair share of demon tribes and demon beasts, and Lin Jing could surely become a sharp blade against the Celestial Demon Tribe...
Just as Yan Yunshuang issued the invitation, he suddenly noticed Lin Jing looking solemnly towards the sky.
He reacted a beat slower than Lin Jing, but soon, Yan Yunshuang looked on in horror, the sight taking him by extreme surprise.
In the sky, a void vortex suddenly opened, from which a colossal Celestial Demon manifestation gazed upon this place.
"Again?" Lin Jing muttered to himself, and upon seeing this face, the Cultivation Alliance cultivators monitoring this place were all shockingly stunned.
"Celestial Demon Sect’s Saint Heir, Sheng Kun!!"
Nobody expected that the Celestial Demon Sect’s Saint Heir would sense its pet being captured and personally gaze upon Immortal City of the Cultivation Alliance. Even with the last celestial source descent, Sheng Kun never appeared, yet now, he has shown himself for the sake of his pet!
