Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 500 - 71: The Return of the Prodigies
A few days later. ๐ฏ๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐๐ฎ๐ต.๐๐ค๐ข
Apart from Lin Jing, all the other Tianyuan Realm geniuses took pills and entered seclusion, intending to follow Lin Jingโs plan to leave the Yuan Realm first.
Although they could remain in the Yuan Realm for a long time, it no longer held any significance.
Being in the Yuan Realm was essentially about two tasks.
Firstly, the concentration of the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Yuan Realm is the highest in the lower realms, allowing Divinity Transformation Cultivators to refine their Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirits to perfection.
A yearโs hard cultivation here is equivalent to over ten years of hard cultivation outside.
After over twenty years of cultivation, the Celestial Essence Cultivators have achieved this, each reaching Divinity Transformation Great Perfection with Perfect Primordial Spirits.
Of course, this is just the basic level. With time, every genius entering the Yuan Realm can achieve this.
The second task involves competing for Immortal Sources.
After shaping a Perfect Primordial Spirit, one can start attempting to fight for Immortal Sources. Even spending hundreds of years to snatch a most ordinary Immortal Source is highly worthwhile for most geniuses.
Many linger in the Yuan Realm, unwilling to leave, just to gain some threads of Immortal Power.
As for the Celestial Essence Realm geniuses, since Lin Jing plans to monopolize the Yuan Realmโs Immortal Sources in the future, staying there is meaningless for them.
With their strength, they canโt be of much help, especially since Lin Jing has a group of Spirit Monster subordinates.
Given the situation, itโs better to follow Lin Jingโs plan; after all, the final portion of the Immortal Sources will also be used to nourish the Celestial Essence Realm, giving them hope of obtaining it.
"But like this, is it really okay?"
The Void Profound Realm is extremely challenging for ordinary cultivators. However, for the strongest geniuses from each cultivation realm, it is not so difficult.
Having laid a perfect foundation at the Divinity Transformation stage, breaking through to the Void Profound Realm gave them almost no bottlenecks. With the "Void Refining Pill" provided by Lin Jing, the Celestial Essence Realm geniuses easily broke into the Void Profound Realm.
But upon leaving the Yuan Realm, these geniuses still felt that Lin Jingโs plan was enormously risky.
Even a slight mistake could make the Celestial Essence Realm the target of all. But this is not something these geniuses can decide...
Although they returned, each with Void Profound Cultivation, becoming part of the second tier of combat power on the Celestial Essence Continent, decisions affecting the fate of the Celestial Essence still require the counsel of various Wenda Ancestors.
......
Celestial Essence Realm.
More than two decades after ten geniuses of the golden generation of the Celestial Essence Realm entered the Yuan Realm, the Celestial Essence Realm had thrived under the Golden Era.
The most shocking news on the continent was the emergence of another Innate Immortal Body in the Celestial Essence Realm!
Distinct from an Acquired Immortal Body, an Innate Immortal Body can be said to be the most evident feedback of the Golden Era.
The Immortal Body came from the Wang Family, a cultivation family within the Celestial Essence Ancient Country. Though renowned within the Ancient Country, the Wang Family is not highly notable on the continent. Nevertheless, with the birth of an Immortal Body, the Wang Family soared to prominence.
Moreover, the father of this Innate Immortal Body was not an old fossil but a genius from the golden list, also the Qilin Child of the Wang Family, named Wang Xiao.
Upon the birth of his child with an Immortal Body, Wang Xiao went mad, laughing for nine days and nights, echoing through the capital.
"Lin Jing, I thought Iโd live forever under your shadow, but I never imagined my child would be born an Innate Immortal Body! Though in this life I may never surpass you, if one day my child can, I would consider my life fulfilled!" The father of the Immortal Body was surprisingly a schoolmate of Lin Jing, sharing a certain relationship.
This left many cultivators speechless; cultivating well is not as good as being born well.
On the Celestial Essence Continent, similar events have occurred frequently in recent years. Every few years, remarkable geniuses appear, either born with the talent for ascension or acquiring astonishing fortunes, rising from commoners.
Yet those handling continental affairs remain more concerned about the battle situation in the Yuan Realm, leaving a strand of consciousness outside the Yuan Realmโs teleportation array, waiting for some geniusโs return. They have waited for more than twenty years. Though twenty years isnโt long, every Wenda has an eagerness for intelligence from the Yuan Realm...
"Hmm?"
"Theyโve come out!?"
"Wait, seems like itโs not just one person!"
At the teleportation site, after a long wait, accompanied by sudden flashes of light and shadows, the consciousness avatars of the Second Ancient Emperor, the Lord of the Demon Court, and other Wenda quickly descended near the teleportation array, filled with tension.
Under their watchful eyes, they found that not just one genius returned; it seemed that all sent out geniuses were collectively returning today, one after another.
Before leaving, they were all at the Divinity Transformation stage. After more than twenty years of cultivation in the Yuan Realm, they all broke through to the Void Profound Realm, and their Primordial Spirit fluctuations were astonishingly strong, leaving these Wenda pleased, feeling the activation of the teleportation array was worthwhile!
"Father Emperor!"
"We are back."
Gu Xinghe and Gu Youran bowed to the Second Ancient Emperor.
"Good to have you back, hmm?" The Second Ancient Emperor noticed that one person seemed not to have returned.
"Has Lin Jing not returned?" he asked, though the Second Ancient Emperor wasnโt too surprised, as Lin Jing, possessing a Longevity Body, didnโt worry about wasting time in the Yuan Realm.
The other Wenda also noticed, glancing at the Demon Emperor, who raised an eyebrow, appearing proud. What a joke, how could they let Lin Jing return so soon? Having a Longevity Body in the Yuan Realm is like being at home, naturally, he would stay longer.
However, these returning geniuses were indeed a bit too quick. Just one person would have sufficed for reporting back, as even though they donโt have as long a lifespan as those with Longevity Bodies, spending a few hundred years in the Yuan Realm isnโt an issue and wouldnโt impact later cultivation much.
Didnโt any of them have the ambition to compete for Immortal Sources?
"Reporting to Father Emperor, Lin Jing stayed in the Yuan Realm. We returned early to communicate," said Gu Xinghe.
"Have you already obtained the method to contact the Cultivation Alliance?" the Second Ancient Emperor asked. As long as they acquired the method to contact the Cultivation Alliance, there would be no worry about an invasion by the Celestial Demon Sect.
The foundation of the Ancient Country wouldnโt fall into his hands.
"This..." Faced with the Second Ancient Emperorโs inquiry, the many geniuses fell silent, and Gu Youran slowly stated:
"Originally, we had successfully obtained the contact method with the Cultivation Alliance..."
"But before we left, Senior Brother Lin took all the contact tokens given by the Cultivation Alliance."
"He wanted us to convey that he temporarily doesnโt wish for the Celestial Essence Realm to join the Cultivation Alliance. He intends to use the advantage of the Longevity Body to monopolize the Yuan Realmโs resources for millennia, allowing the Celestial Essence Realm to exclusively enjoy the Yuan Realmโs resources..."
"Joining the Cultivation Alliance would be inconvenient for him to fully unfold his plans, as it poses too many constraints."
All the Wenda momentarily blacked out, collectively looking towards the Demon Emperor.
"Hmm?" The Demon Emperor was stunned and said, "Why are you all looking at me? I think the Saint Heirโs idea is quite good; rather than pinning hopes on othersโ assistance, why not... Wait, monopolizing the Yuan Realmโs resources for millennia, I wouldnโt see Lin Jing for a thousand years?"
