Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 463 - 34: Celestial Demon Factions

"So what?"

It turns out Sheng Kun’s original form was female, something Lin Jing truly hadn’t heard of, and such rumors didn’t exist in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance of the Source Realm either.

However, it certainly seems possible—originally female, later possessing male cultivators several times for a better constitution, isn’t anything strange.

After all, Sheng Kun had even let a male cultivator possess this Infinite Fairy.

The puzzle for Mayu is, even if Sheng Kun was originally female, what connection does it have with scheming against him?

"Don’t you understand? She’s cutting off your immortal path."

The woman’s voice continued to come from the sealed crystal.

"You really know nothing about the Celestial Demon Sect."

"But that’s understandable, after all, you are the disciple collected by the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor from outside the realm..."

"It truly was right not to rashly possess you," Mayu began. This Infinite Immortal Body seemed to have always been kept in a sealed state, yet it was actually so well-informed about what happens outside. It seems she can still hear the ordinary exchanges of the outside world.

Probably even Sheng Kun doesn’t know that his seal on the Infinite Immortal Body is imperfect.

This Infinite Immortal Body, who knows how many trump cards it has? Without proper preparation for possession, one might easily be counter-killed by her.

"Do you know that the Celestial Demon Sect is divided into many factions, and do you know how these factions are divided?"

"It’s based on the target for possession!"

"Depending on the different possession targets, the Celestial Demon Cultivator’s destiny will imperceptibly change."

"For example, in one faction of the Celestial Demon Sect, Celestial Demon Cultivators only possess Demon Beasts. After multiple possessions, their destiny changes, allowing them to cultivate the Celestial Demon Immortal Technique ’Demon Beast True Immortal Record’.

"For example, there’s another faction that only possesses unborn fetuses. After meeting the conditions, they can cultivate the Celestial Demon Immortal Technique ’Reincarnation Celestial Demon Sutra’."

"Compared to techniques like the Celestial Demon Five Arts, these Immortal Techniques are the true core of the Celestial Demon Sect, not taught to ordinary disciples."

"These matters are unknown to most of the geniuses of the Celestial Demon Sect."

"For the ordinary talents of the Celestial Demon Sect, the higher-ups won’t interfere with what they choose to possess; it’s their own opportunity. The higher-ups will only categorize and nurture them into different factions based on their final possession results."

"If you follow the path of possession planned out by Sheng Kun, using the techniques she provides, your destiny will naturally be classified into their faction, only able to cultivate their faction’s Celestial Demon Immortal Techniques. Didn’t your master tell you all this?"

The Infinite Fairy said, "In the Celestial Demon Sect, the positions of Saint Heir and Saintess are not decided by the ranking of each genius’s talent potential and strength but are rather occupied by the strongest genius from each faction."

"If you get labeled as part of the ’Yin-Yang Faction,’ you will forever be cut off from the position of Saint Heir of the Demon Sect. Sheng Kun will always be a head above you. Your subsequent cultivation techniques will also depend on her master, the Yin-Yang Celestial Demon Faction’s ancestor, ultimately turning you into a subordinate of her disciple, Sheng Kun."

"And it’s said that only by becoming a Saint Heir or Saintess can you possibly receive the final nurturing of the Immortal Realm Demon Sect, with hopes of being promoted to the rank of Royal Demon Blood!"

"Didn’t your master tell you any of this?"

"It makes sense, your master, the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, is a lone ranger with no faction, so she might not care about these things. But she’s powerful. With the support of the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, you could completely establish a great possession faction on your own, become a disciple at the level of a Saint Heir. Why must you submit under Sheng Kun?"

Mayu sank into contemplation. Is this the extent of Sheng Kun’s schemes? Not much, after all.

"Heh, I’m not interested in becoming royal demon blood, nor in becoming a Saint Heir of the Demon Sect. I only want to quickly help my master recover. If this is the extent of your schemes, then it’s unfortunate, but I don’t care."

"As long as I can receive Sheng Kun’s support, what does it matter if I’m labeled as part of the ’Yin-Yang Faction’?"

"Foolish!!!" The Infinite Fairy, unable to contain her anger, said, "You, a Demon Sect cultivator, speaking of such deep master-disciple bonds with me—when it’s clear that the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor doesn’t consider your future immortal path at all and only sees you as a tool to help her recover from her injuries. Once she recovers, your circumstances are not among her considerations."

"In fact, she might even reclaim the demon bloodline she bestowed upon you after you’ve completed her tasks!"

"Isn’t the case of master-disciple falling out common enough in the Celestial Demon Sect?"

"Sheng Kun wants to make you, the disciple of the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, her assistant. The Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor considers you only as a means to recover from injuries. No one pays any attention to your immortal path, and if others don’t, do you not pay attention either?"

"The best practice for you now is not to possess anyone at all; or, at least, temporarily only possess same-sex cultivators. But do not use the ’Bloodline-enhancement Techniques’ taught by Sheng Kun."

"You are not a native cultivator of the Celestial Demon Realm, so even if you enter the main sect of the Celestial Demon Sect later, you won’t receive much attention..." The tone of the Infinite Fairy suddenly softened: "Why don’t we cooperate? You can leave the Celestial Demon Sect, and I swear by the Heavenly Dao that I will introduce you into the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and hold a high position..."

Mayu sealed the crystal with a backhand, completely sealing the Infinite Fairy so that not even a trace of consciousness could emerge.

"What’s with this Infinite Fairy, being so knowledgeable about internal matters of the Celestial Demon Realm, but if her master is the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, knowing so much secret information isn’t impossible either."

"Sheng Kun... Yin-Yang Faction... Does that mean that possessing a form of the opposite sex, combined with the techniques granted by Sheng Kun, would change one’s destiny to only be able to cultivate the Yin-Yang Celestial Demon Immortal Technique?" Mayu pondered, indeed, this would limit his future cultivation path.

"What do you two think?" Mayu communicated with the Ice Soul Gu and Technique Elemental Spirit.

As for this, what can the Ice Soul Gu and Technique Elemental Spirit think? It doesn’t matter, because after all, Mayu’s identity is fake; the matters with the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor will eventually be exposed, making it predestined that he cannot become a Saint Heir in the Celestial Demon Realm. In that case, just follow Sheng Kun’s plan, and that’s that.

Only by doing so can he gain the maximum trust from Sheng Kun and gain more resources and investment from her, becoming her successor in the Source Realm.

"Don’t worry, I won’t be swayed by this Infinite Immortal Body. My life was granted by my master, and my own immortal road and future are not worth debating. Even if my master wants to retract this demon blood, it matters little. To repay my master’s kindness, I would go to any lengths to gain more Immortal Sources to aid her recovery."

Mayu took a step into the void, choosing to search for the Slaughter Immortal Body, ignoring the words of the Infinite Fairy. Seeing this, the Ice Soul Gu only felt the vigor of the Heart Gu Pill rushing—what master do you have, you are the true master!
