Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 464 - 35: Sect Assembly
A month later, a shocking piece of news emerged in the Source Realm: the Slaughter Immortal Body, which had recently resurfaced and posed a significant challenge for all parties, was unexpectedly captured alive by Moyu, the heir of the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor.
Moyu had indeed taken advantage of a situation; after several months of battling, no matter how strong the Slaughter Immortal Body was, it couldn’t maintain peak condition constantly.
He chose not to confront head-on but instead to launch a surprise attack at the opponent’s most vulnerable moment, succeeding in one strike.
After severely injuring the Slaughter Immortal Body, Moyu used the Ice Soul Gu to encase it in ice.
"Did he choose the Slaughter Immortal Body?" Although Sheng Kun wasn’t personally monitoring Moyu, she kept a constant eye on changes in the Source Realm. Knowing that Moyu had captured the Slaughter Immortal Body, she understood Moyu’s intention was to first possess this Slaughter Immortal Body to gain experience in demonic possession.
"Fortunately, it’s a human. If he had chosen a demon beast or a spirit monster, I would have had to intervene. This Slaughter Immortal Body is a decent choice." Sheng Kun sighed with relief.
......
In the blink of an eye, five years passed.
While Moyu was still in the process of possessing the Slaughter Immortal Body, Lin Jing finally emerged from seclusion. In five years, with the help of abundant immortal qi, despite the difficulty of Longevity Body cultivation, he had advanced to the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation.
Of course, reaching this mid-stage of Divinity Transformation was largely due to the feedback from two pet beasts.
Compared to Lin Jing’s slow progress, the cultivation speed of the two pet beasts was much faster, having both reached the Great Perfection of Divinity Transformation.
"Possessing an immortal body is surprisingly complicated..."
Emerging from the cave, Lin Jing sensed that his avatar was still in the process of possession and couldn’t help but shake his head.
For now, he decided not to worry about his avatar. After all, with the protection of Ice Soul Gu and Technique Elemental Spirit Guardians, ordinary people couldn’t disturb his seclusion for demonic possession. Even if strong cultivators attacked, Sheng Kun certainly wouldn’t sit idly by.
Rather than focusing on his avatar, Lin Jing had more important matters to attend to. The five-year agreement with Yinsi Mountain was about to reach its due date, marking the first time he, as the Sect Leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect, would face all the members.
Establishing absolute authority as the Sect Leader depended on this occasion. For this sect assembly, Lin Jing made many preparations, such as elevating the abilities of the Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp to their pinnacle. Their bloodlines were now of the emperor level, and their treasure beast divine techniques were as proficient as ordinary magic.
Most importantly, during this period, Lin Jing cultivated a tremendously strong state...
Besides convincing all members of the Heaven and Earth Sect to express deep conviction in him, Lin Jing had another hidden goal.
He wanted to accomplish something through this Heaven and Earth Sect assembly. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Longevity Immortal Body."
Lin Jing muttered, both Prince Gu and Gu Youran, although not Innate Immortal Bodies, used the immortal body secret techniques of the Ancient Race to elevate their constitutions to Acquired Immortal Bodies.
Lin Jing obtained this secret technique from the first-generation Ancient Emperor.
The core is to break the constitution’s limit through terrifying world qi fortune and the assistance of the royal Nirvana Bird.
After confronting the Demon Sect’s Saint Heir, seizing an immortal source once, and establishing the Heaven and Earth Sect, Lin Jing clearly felt that he was gradually becoming one of the main figures in the Source Realm, with qi fortune slowly favoring him.
A small portion of the Source Realm’s qi fortune isn’t comparable to the Celestial Essence Realm’s qi fortune; the difference between the two realms is vast, like heaven and earth.
With such understanding, while the avatar is attempting the demonic possession of his first immortal body, Lin Jing himself wanted to try using the Ancient Race’s immortal body secret technique to see if he could cultivate his Longevity Body into an immortal level Longevity Body.
By then, an increase in his lifespan would be secondary; his life essence would unquestionably become immensely powerful. If he could also obtain an equally powerful death essence, he might be able to control the bodies of immortal beasts to fight for days on end.
At that time, his true self, along with the Heaven and Earth Sect’s array of spirit monsters, would be qualified to truly confront the Four Heavenly Kings.
"If I can become the Heaven and Earth Sect Leader recognized by countless spirit monsters and gain the allegiance of powerful native creatures of the Source Realm, the qi fortune I will enjoy from the Source Realm would be above that of Li Tianyi and Sheng Kun. Achieving a Longevity Immortal Body would tick one condition off."
"However, without an auxiliary treasure beast like the Nirvana Bird, breaking through the limits of a Longevity Body is still relatively difficult. Fortunately, with the help of immortal qi, I overcame this difficulty."
Within the Immortal Technique Pavilion of the Cultivation Alliance, there’s a secret technique to enhance constitutional strength through immortal qi. Senior Brother Shangguan of the Tianming Realm relied on this secret technique along with immortal qi to cultivate an Acquired Immortal Body.
However, not everyone can use this method; it significantly tests one’s "aptitude." Shangguan Ming is among the few within the Cultivation Alliance who cultivated an Acquired Immortal Body through this method.
Lin Jing didn’t know if he had the aptitude to cultivate this secret technique, but there were no better options available, so he had to give it a try.
"Enhancing the Longevity Body through two secret techniques, success lies in this one attempt."
He looked in a particular direction, intending to fly away from Immortal City, but just as he exited the city gate, a voice sounded in his ear.
"Junior Brother, where are you going?"
"I’ve hit a bottleneck and am going out for a walk."
"I see..." Li Tianyi sent a message, "Then please be cautious, Junior Brother. It is said that Moyu captured the Slaughter Immortal Body alive, likely for possession. If he could obtain the Slaughter Immortal Body, his power would undoubtedly greatly increase."
"With the enmity between him and you, Junior Brother, he definitely wouldn’t spare you. Be wary of his assassination."
"Rest assured, Senior Brother, I have already found a way to counter his assassination techniques." Lin Jing slightly cupped his fists, then left Immortal City without looking back.
Half a month later.
Mingtu.
Even though the Mingtu Lady grumbled, Lin Jing and the Deputy Sect Leader of the Mountain God still chose to hold the first sect assembly here.
The reason was simple: if they didn’t choose the Mingtu Lady’s territory and opted for another location, she would certainly be lazy to attend, directly absent from the meeting. The key was that Lin Jing had no way of dealing with her absence.
Boom!!
Like a startling swan, Lin Jing arrived, riding the Dragon Carp in its Pegasus form. The already-arrived Deputy Sect Leader of the Mountain God welcomed him. Seeing Lin Jing, it curiously inquired, "It seems your power has greatly increased, Sect Leader. Are you planning to establish authority through strength?"
"Both grace and might." Lin Jing glanced at the Deputy Sect Leader of the Mountain God, descended, and said, "I’ve also prepared a big gift for you all."
"What???" Yinsi Mountain curiously asked.
Lin Jing chuckled and said, "A bigger and more fragrant pie, guaranteed to please you all."
"Speaking of which, you spirit monsters seem to reproduce only asexually, right? Have you considered crossbreeding with the Mingtu Lady to produce an incredibly strong offspring that could overpower an immortal body?"
The Deputy Sect Leader of the Mountain God was bewildered, "Just what have you been up to these years!"
