Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 454 - 25: Mingtu

"It’s this person." Li Tianyi took out a portrait, and Lin Jing fell into deep thought when he saw it.

Ling Yue Sword Immortal, Feng Ning?

"Junior Brother, you don’t need to worry about her safety. If I am not mistaken, she should be a ’Taiyin Body’, right?"

"Yes." Lin Jing nodded. Ling Yue Sword Immortal’s Taiyin Body originated from the Divine Body Pill; to be precise, it is an acquired Taiyin Body.

"Then it makes sense. According to the report from that cultivator, she seems to serve as the ’Yin Sha Maiden’ in Mingtu!"

"Mingtu Lady possesses the power to ’resurrect the dead’, but reviving the dead is a very taxing task for her as well. To ease her burden, she created the ’Yin Sha Formation’, where Taiyin Body cultivators can serve as the formation’s meridians, sharing some of the energy expenditure."

"If my judgment is correct, this fairy was left behind by Mingtu Lady because of her Taiyin Body. Mingtu Lady has already collected dozens of such Taiyin Bodies..."

Dozens...

The Taiyin Divine Body is, after all, ranked among the top 20 on the Celestial Essence Divine Body list. In this Source Realm, it seems quite commonplace.

After learning that Feng Ning was temporarily safe, Lin Jing felt relieved. However, it seemed that this journey to Mingtu was imminent.

"Junior Brother, are you thinking of going to Mingtu to find fellow cultivators from the same realm?" Sensing Lin Jing’s gaze, Li Tianyi asked.

Not waiting for Lin Jing to respond, he waved his hand, shaking his head: "Junior Brother, I think it would be better for you to give up on rescuing this fellow cultivator from the same realm."

Lin Jing frowned and asked, "Why?"

Li Tianyi replied, "Becoming a Yin Sha Maiden might not be a bad thing. Mingtu Lady will not use the Taiyin Body as expendable material."

"On the contrary, for the Yin Sha Formation, she would even distribute the immortal sources and immortal energy she trades to these Yin Sha Maidens to help them cultivate and enhance their mana."

"From this perspective, these Yin Sha Maidens may not even be able to compete for immortal sources themselves, yet being with Mingtu Lady, due to their constitution, they can receive the immortal energy she gifts, which is also an opportunity."

"Furthermore, Mingtu Lady holds these Yin Sha Maidens in high regard. Attempting to take them back won’t be easy and will require a great deal of sacrifice. Moreover, although Mingtu Lady is a loose cultivator spirit monster, she maintains good relations with all sides, making it very difficult to contend with her."

"Most importantly, not long ago, I just wiped out the pet of the Saint Heir of the Demon Sect, and he expressed little about it. Do you know why?"

Lin Jing suddenly realized, "Could it be that the Void Beast could also be resurrected in Mingtu?"

Li Tianyi nodded: "If that Saint Heir of the Demon Sect is willing to pay a huge price, perhaps Mingtu Lady really can do it. This means that if you head to Mingtu now, you are very likely to encounter the Saint Heir of the Demon Sect again, which is extremely dangerous."

"All things considered, I do not advise you to search for that companion. Rather, wait until you are stronger, and until that companion has gained enough benefits from Mingtu Lady, and then it won’t be too late to find her."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for the reminder. I will not go to Mingtu for the time being." Lin Jing cupped his fists slightly.

Seeing that he had successfully persuaded Lin Jing, Li Tianyi nodded with satisfaction. He liked juniors who listened to advice, for only then could they live long lives.

The next day.

Lin Jing embarked on his journey to Mingtu.

Li Tianyi’s advice was indeed reasonable, but Lin Jing didn’t take it to heart.

He was not going to visit as a cultivator of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, but as the Sect Leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

The Mountain God of Yin Sacrifice was a friend of Mingtu Lady, and with the Mountain God’s introduction, his purpose was not simply to find someone or trade, but to completely subdue Mingtu Lady.

"Sect Leader, you have finally returned."

A few days later, as Lin Jing passed through the territory of Yin Sacrifice Mountain, the Mountain God had already transformed into the shape of a stone person early on, waiting for Lin Jing.

"The mountain is gone, where are those people?" Lin Jing looked at the Mountain God, inquiring about the whereabouts of Fang Wuming and others.

"They are all sealed within the body, asleep, so there’s no need to worry about them escaping and spreading rumors," the Mountain God said.

"Good, let’s go." Lin Jing was increasingly looking forward to it, uncertain if he could successfully persuade Mingtu Lady...

...

Mingtu, located on a barren land of scorched earth, much like the previous snow mountains, was sparsely populated.

In the center of the land, there was a Ghost City, and the consciousness of Mingtu Lady in a soul-like form unexpectedly looked into the distance.

"Yin Sacrifice Mountain, what brings this guy here?"

It had already been hundreds of years since her last encounter with Yin Sacrifice Mountain.

"Big Sister, are you there?" Outside Mingtu, the miniature Mountain God of Yin Sacrifice stood on Lin Jing’s shoulder, taking the place of the Pine Leaf Rat, shouting inward.

A moment later, Mingtu Lady’s consciousness drifted out.

"Yin Sacrifice... who is this human?"

"Him? He’s our hope of leaving the Source Realm. I’ve staked the future on him," the Mountain God of Yin Sacrifice boastfully said.

"What is this even about?" Mingtu Lady observed Lin Jing with displeasure, then made an astonishing discovery.

She exclaimed, "Perfect Longevity Body, Life and Death Primordial Spirit?"

Goodness, this is even more suitable to maintain her formation than the Taiyin Body, it might even serve as the formation core!

Mingtu Lady’s eyes instantly lit up, but the next moment, Lin Jing snorted softly, activating the "Corpse Dissolution and Fusion True Manual," a secret technique within the corpse control technique, temporarily grafting a part of the celestial cow corpse onto himself.

A pair of demon-like horns grew on Lin Jing’s head, and he immediately exuded a terrifying aura. With a pair of Yin Yang Eyes staring, Mingtu Lady was instantly shaken, feeling from Lin Jing an oppression no less than that of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Mingtu, do not be rude," the Mountain God of Yin Sacrifice said. "I’ve found a way to leave the Source Realm, but it will take some time to prepare. Are you interested in joining?"

Saying that, it tossed out a memory stone, and once the Mingtu Lady came into contact with it, key information on the Beast Taming Technique, Lin Jing, Heaven and Earth Sect, and others immediately surfaced in her mind.

"Not interested!" After reading, Mingtu Lady turned the guest away: "I’m not participating in such an uncertain plan."

She did not actively participate in the immortal source wars, but she had plenty of immortal sources.

She wasn’t going to risk her life for Lin Jing, helping him to compete for immortal sources.

Nor was she willing to provide immortal sources for Lin Jing to use, wagering on something uncertain.

"Perhaps reconsider," Lin Jing suggested. "I just feel that in this Source Realm, Mingtu Lady’s ambitions are limited. Beyond the Source Realm, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and the Celestial Demon Realm are fighting to the death, and countless cultivators perish every moment. That realm of death is clearly more suited for Mingtu Lady to dominate..."

"How about this, we won’t compel Mingtu Lady to join us. We don’t need Mingtu Lady to do anything. As long as you remain neutral and don’t assist our enemies, I will grant you an honorary Deputy Sect Master position in the Heaven and Earth Sect. If successful, I will still take you with us to leave the Source Realm, how about that?"
