Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 468 - 39: Longevity Immortal Body
Inside a cave dwelling arranged for Lin Jing by Mingtu Lady.
Lin Jing, using the Power of Destiny from the Source Realm, combined with the Ancient Race’s secret techniques, began to strive towards the Immortal Body realm.
After being baptized by the immense destiny power of the Source Realm, Lin Jing could clearly feel significant changes in his Perfect Longevity Body, noticing subtle transformations.
The change manifested in that before, Lin Jing’s flesh and organs had an irresistible allure for demon beasts, prolonging their lives. But now, even a strand of his hair, a drop of his sweat, or a breath could become unimaginable treasures, items capable of extending life!
However, Lin Jing could only describe this state as "Half-step to the Peak of Longevity Immortal Body Great Perfection," as there still seemed to be a slight gap before a true transformation, and his lifespan had not notably enhanced.
"Without the Boundary-breaking Bird, use immortal energy as a substitute!"
Lin Jing multitasked, simultaneously executing ancient secret techniques and the Immortal Alliance’s "Immortal Gate Dunjia," nurturing his Longevity Body gently with the Power of Destiny while drawing in immortal energy into his body violently, letting it circulate internally, assaulting his physical form, causing continual destruction and reconstruction, leaving traces of immortal will.
The ways to elevate physical limits were inherently different; one was gentle and required the cooperation of the Boundary-breaking Bird, a precious beast’s divine technique, which Lin Jing lacked conditions for at present. The other was exceedingly violent, making those cultivators aiming for an Acquired Immortal Body undergo near-death experiences to be reborn. Thus, the difficulty was high, and successful transformations were rare, with most ending in severe injuries and near demise.
Thankfully, Lin Jing hadn’t neglected body cultivation, so using immortal energy to batter his body was still manageable. However, as time passed, Lin Jing observed that concurrently using both secret techniques indeed caused another change in the Longevity Body, birthing a physical divine technique, yet there seemed to still be a bottleneck before reaching the Immortal Body.
"Physical divine technique..."
"Certain physiques, besides their special traits, come with a powerful physical divine technique."
"For instance, the Taiyin Body! Its divine technique manifests as a phenomenon."
"Back then, at Qianlong Academy, when fighting against Zhao Qingyue of the Zhao Family, who had the Taiyin Body, she showcased this divine technique phenomenon called Bright Moon Divine Radiance. I once thought such physical divine techniques were exclusive to powerful divine bodies and Immortal Bodies. To my surprise, it’s now nurtured within the Longevity Body."
Lin Jing marveled.
The divine technique of the Longevity Body reminded him of a line of poetry.
An Immortal strokes my head, knots my hair to receive longevity.
This divine technique was not an offensive kind but allowed Lin Jing to excavate life potential in those beneath his realm, giving them an extended lifespan.
An unexpected gain, though it wasn’t what Lin Jing most desired right now. As he continued, under the fierce impact of immortal energy, no matter how strong Lin Jing’s body was, it began to deteriorate and crack, with precious Longevity Blood flowing out from the cracks in his skin, from his mouth and nose.
"This is a waste..."
"This can’t go on."
"The Dragon Carp is suffering too much." Even if Lin Jing transferred half of his pain to the Dragon Carp using Beast Taming secret techniques, he still gritted his teeth, feeling he couldn’t continue this way, or he’d become increasingly frail.
He then decided to take another risky move, enhancing his Longevity Body through a third method, conducting feedback.
"Pine-needle Mouse..." Lin Jing called out to the Pine-needle Mouse, looking at his fountain-like bleeding form, and the mouse gulped with strong willpower, following Lin Jing’s orders, collecting every drop of Longevity Blood he sprayed out.
Using Glazed Immortal Pupil’s divine technique directly, he combined numerous Longevity Blood, enhancing the quality of the Longevity Blood.
Then, Lin Jing re-injected this enhanced Longevity Blood back into his body.
......
"What the hell is going on?"
Mingtu Lady’s consciousness soared, looking in one direction, realizing it was the retreat she arranged for Lin Jing.
Although this retreat location was just within Mingtu Lady, before Lin Jing secluded himself, he set up a large array using several dragon veins and four quasi-immortal artifacts, making it difficult for outsiders to perceive the internal situation.
However, as time went by, the movements inside were no longer what a regular large array could conceal, and Mingtu Lady keenly sensed that a terrifying life essence was being nurtured within.
She was a spirit monster specializing in the path of death, with Power of Death Origin rivaling an Immortal Body, utterly incomparable to the Power of Death Origin within that Undying Profound Serpent, which was why not only was it hard to kill Mingtu Lady, but she could even resurrect others.
Because life and death mirrored each other, Mingtu Lady could keenly sense that Lin Jing’s place of retreat was nurturing a Power of Life Origin even more formidable than the Power of Death Origin on her.
"Could it be!!"
Mingtu Lady recalled that Lin Jing was a Longevity Body, where under normal circumstances, only one possibility could make Lin Jing’s life essence power suddenly surge... that is, he achieved an Acquired Immortal Body, transforming into a Longevity Immortal Body based on his Longevity Body!
"How is this possible, can such a physique as the Longevity Body really be cultivated to the Immortal Body level?"
Although Mingtu Lady was not an outsider cultivator, those she traded with were top outsiders, and through interactions and extracting memories from the deceased, Mingtu Lady had become very knowledgeable about both inside and outside realms. She hadn’t heard of a Longevity Body achieving the Immortal Body level; even a normally perfected Longevity Body was rare outside.
"Deputy Sect Master...are you protecting me?"
After Mingtu Lady had been spying for a while, a hearty laugh suddenly came from within the large array, with Lin Jing rising in a flowing white robe.
At that moment, his aura of vitality had receded, but Mingtu Lady’s eyes sharpened, certain that this fellow’s physique had indeed transformed again!!!
"A Longevity Immortal Body, congratulations to the Sect Leader," said Mingtu Lady.
"Perhaps, without a precedent, I can’t be sure what stage I’ve reached," Lin Jing lightly smiled, only knowing that his Longevity Body had indeed undergone metamorphosis under the combined fortifications of the three paths, and his current lifespan was already a hundred times that of a typical cultivator of the same realm.
Far exceeding the Perfect Longevity Body.
Perhaps it really was a Longevity Immortal Body.
Normally, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator would have a lifespan of just over two thousand years, averaging about two thousand five hundred years. But now, Lin Jing conservatively estimated his lifespan might have reached two to three hundred thousand years.
Even if the cultivation speed of the Longevity Body progressed slowly, with this much time, even a dog could ascend, aptly living up to the name of an Immortal Body.
This terrifying Vitality Power made Lin Jing feel awestruck himself since from when the ascension passage closed until now, merely a hundred thousand years had passed. With Lin Jing’s current lifespan, as long as there were no accidental deaths, he could fully witness one era, even multiple eras.
"Deputy Sect Master, for enhancing my physique, my immortal energy is entirely depleted. Since you’ve been dealing with the Immortal Alliance and the Celestial Demon Sect over the years, you must have accumulated a lot of immortal sources and immortal energy, right? Could you lend some to the Sect Leader?"
"Additionally, my Life-Death Primordial Spirit is now overly imbalanced with excess vitality. I wonder if the Deputy Sect Master has any secret techniques for cultivating the Power of Death Origin?" Lin Jing sincerely inquired.
"Damn you..." Mingtu Lady was about to swear, they had agreed on not taking a penny from her as she’s just an honorary Deputy Sect Master, but before she could finish, Lin Jing interjected:
"I’ll first let the Pine-needle Mouse help you give birth to a hundred nests; of course, the cost of using Immortal Techniques must be supplemented by the Deputy Sect Master’s provision of immortal energy."
