Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 452 - 23: Deceiving Heaven to Cross the Sea
"Another demon blood cultivator has entered the Source Realm, with astonishing battle prowess?"
"Without Immortal Source enhancement, able to fight Snow God to a draw?"
"What’s going on, these newcomers are all so fierce lately!"
At the moment, not only did the Celestial Demon Saint Heir receive the news, but the Cultivation Realm alliance also got the intelligence.
"Find this person and eliminate them as soon as possible," ordered Hall Master Yan Yunshuang of the Law Enforcement Hall with a gloomy expression.
"The opponent and Snow God were mutually wounded and are extremely weak; this is the best time to kill him!"
The Law Enforcement Hall immediately sprang into action. Compared to the Cultivation Realm alliance, the prodigies of the Celestial Demon Realm rarely banded together, giving the Realm alliance an opportunity to exploit.
At this moment, Lin Jing’s true form, after selecting an Immortal Technique from the Cultivation Realm alliance, once again entered seclusion.
The Immortal Technique he finally selected was quite simple, named ’Immortal Locking Chain’, a sealing type of Immortal Technique. He picked this not for the purpose of mastery, but purely for research.
He hopes to refine and upgrade the magic he has already learned into Immortal Technique through this study.
That is, how to use immortal energy to drive these ordinary lower realm magics.
The reason for this is because, though there are many Immortal Techniques in the Cultivation Realm alliance, none of them fit with his controlling Immortal Technique, so he’s resorted to this measure.
"I wonder if my avatar will succeed..." Lin Jing pondered while studying, worried about his avatar.
Infiltrating the Celestial Demon Sect, identity is just the simplest part.
The hardest part is how to deceive Sheng Kun’s Celestial Demon Divine Sense Technique!
The Celestial Demon Divine Sense Technique can perceive others’ hearts, sense their goodwill or malice towards oneself, and detect if they are lying; it’s the pinnacle of such techniques.
It’s exactly because of this Divine Sense Technique that the Cultivation Realm alliance rarely succeeds in embedding spies into the Celestial Demon Sect.
Sheng Kun possesses perfect demon race bloodline, and his Celestial Demon Divine Sense Technique must be cultivated to an extremely high level, certainly surpassing Lin Jing’s divine sense achievements.
Deceiving him and successfully penetrating the Demon Sect is no easy task.
This is not something Lin Jing can accomplish alone.
However, fortunately, he does not need to infiltrate the heavily-guarded main branch of the Celestial Demon Sect and deal with those Realm of Seeking Path demon race powerhouses.
He only needs to deceive Sheng Kun of the Divinity Transformation Realm.
For his avatar to successfully infiltrate the Celestial Demon Sect, the Path Seekers of the Celestial Essence Realm made thorough preparations to assist Lin Jing.
In a cave somewhere in the Source Realm.
While healing, the Celestial Demon Avatar swallowed a pill.
This is a Quasi-Immortal Pill, the Heart Gu Pill, jointly refined by the Heaven-Reaching Tower Master and the Immortal Pill Spirit, alongside many from the Ancient Emperor’s group, using the Blood of Gu God as the core material.
Its effect is to confuse the heart and deceive oneself.
To deceive the enemy, one must also deceive oneself.
Once the Heart Gu Pill was consumed, the Celestial Demon Avatar immediately forgot everything about himself, severing his connection with his true form, forging entirely new memories.
At this moment, he completely severed ties with Lin Jing.
Unless someone helps him lift the pill’s effect, he will forget his original identity for his entire life.
The key to recovering memory lies with the Ice Soul Gu, the Magic Mushroom, and Lin Jing’s true form.
There are three safeguards in total to ensure the avatar can return to normal.
"Damn it." The avatar punched the rock beside him heavily, angrily muttering, "Still too weak."
"Before Snow God used the ’Immortal Ice Source’, I could suppress it, but once it used the Immortal Ice Source, I was completely helpless; not only did I fail to obtain the Immortal Source, but due to the help arriving for the enemy, I also sustained such serious injuries... Could it be that relying on myself, I cannot acquire the Immortal Source to aid Master?"
Soon after, the Celestial Demon Avatar completely forgot his identity as Lin Jing’s avatar; his self-awareness became that of the true heir of the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor. The purpose of coming to the Source Realm was to find enough Immortal Source to help Master heal injuries.
Inside the avatar, the Ice Soul Gu munched on Immortal Ice fragments fallen from Snow God, and the Illusion Technique Mushroom appeared to be pondering over how to unfold the Demon Sect script. In the avatar’s awareness, both the Ice Soul Gu and the Elemental Spirit Mushroom were vital magical treasures bestowed by Master, more important than his own life.
Days later, through demon race bloodline tracing, Sheng Kun was the first among those searching for the avatar to locate the Celestial Demon Avatar.
The void tore open, and the Celestial Demon Saint Heir appeared high in the sky.
The moment he descended, the Celestial Demon Avatar in the cave suddenly opened his eyes, eight arms emerged from behind, unveiling the Eight-Armed Celestial Demon Sword Dao!
Sharp sword intent pierced through the cave, striking skyward.
Facing the probing attack, Sheng Kun remained expressionless, with a casual wave of his hand, the sword intent completely dissipated. He said, "No need to be tense, I am the Celestial Demon Sect’s Saint Heir, Sheng Kun, like you, I possess demon race bloodline!"
"Demon Sect Saint Heir..." Inside the cave, the avatar stood up, eyes narrowing, asking, "What do you want with me?"
"Are you the heir of the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor?" Sheng Kun inquired, "By what name should I address you?"
"So what if I am."
"Master bestowed the name, Magu, upon me."
"However, as the heir of a Demon Emperor, according to Demon Sect regulations, I shouldn’t need to obey this Saint Heir, should I?"
"Indeed, I am not here to command you to do anything; I merely wish to confirm whether the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor is not dead?" Sheng Kun queried.
"After all, she is an important powerhouse in the Demon Realm... Please answer me truthfully."
"Not dead!" Magu stated, "Master accidentally entered a star cave, then fell into a remote Cultivation Realm which is my homeland. She was severely wounded during her stay there and is currently still healing."
"My arrival in the Source Realm is under Master’s commission, to seek ’Immortal Qi’ to aid her swift recovery."
"So... I have no time to partake in other tasks of the Celestial Demon Sect."
Sheng Kun nodded, his divine sense persistently observing Magu’s mental fluctuations, discovering that the other was speaking truthfully.
This Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor must have severe injuries.
In the Cultivation Realm she fell into, there were no resources to help her heal.
She even had to cultivate an outsider disciple to borrow the Source Realm teleport array from that realm to seek healing substances from the Source Realm.
"Is this the reason you went to Snow God’s territory to seize Immortal Source?" Sheng Kun said, "Those folks are not so easily dealt with. Given your strength, you are not yet capable of seizing Immortal Source from them."
"Come with me. I can help enhance your strength. I can provide you with Immortal Source; let me handle the task of finding healing resources for the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor."
"No need." Magu coolly replied, "This is Master’s trial for me; I don’t require your help."
"Foolish!" Sheng Kun rebuked, "The Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor senior ended up in her current situation because she liked to act alone. This Source Realm is not as simple as you imagine. Relying on yourself, who knows when you’ll gather the resources to heal the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor!"
"Do you wish that by the time you return, the injuries of the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor have deteriorated further beyond recovery? Can you live with the conscience of having received part of her bloodline, which bestowed upon you this powerful demon race lineage!"
"You, an outsider, having gained such an honor, should be grateful."
Sheng Kun realized that separating part of her bloodline and giving it to an outside cultivator likely indicates the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor’s dire situation, and to prevent her from perishing in the outside world, and to ensure she could become an ally, he was determined to help.
Moreover, he was rather optimistic about Magu’s potential. Compared to another demon race bloodline wizard who wasn’t on the same path as him, the maverick Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, he preferred contact with her.
"Moreover, I am about to leave the Source Realm. Before I leave, if you can inform me of the situation in your Cultivation Realm, I might be able to reach there before you to aid the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor."
"Have you thought it through?" Sheng Kun looked over.
