Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 505 - 76: Homeward Voyage

After entering the Source Realm, Senior Brother Ouyang contacted Lin Jing and began to complain.

"Senior Brother Ouyang, it’s been a while. No rush, take your time to explain."

Lin Jing poured a cup of tea and pondered, "Could it be that the Grand Formation of the Starry Sky Illusionary Realm is not working, and the Celestial Essence Realm has been found by the Celestial Demon Sect?"

If that were the case, it would indeed be troublesome.

"Celestial Demon Sect? No!" Senior Brother Ouyang shook his head repeatedly, "It’s not an external threat, but internal, within the realm!"

He took a sip of tea, then said, "Junior Brother, do you know of the ’Refining Tao Sect’?"

Lin Jing recalled for a moment and nodded, "The Refining Tao Sect was one of the core four sects that overthrew the Immortal Palace, and also one of the core four sects that established the Immortal Alliance. The sect was unmatched in both pill and artifact refinement, providing a large number of top-notch magical treasures and pills to the allied forces at the time..."

"Then, Junior Brother, you should also be aware of the later developments of the Refining Tao Sect."

Ouyang Hao added, "After the Celestial Essence Realm was under the rule of the Immortal Alliance for many years, the Refining Tao Sect gave birth to an Innate Immortal Body, the Refining Heaven Immortal Body! This Immortal Body was quite troublesome, indulged by elders, straying from the righteous path, using living humans and beasts to refine pills!"

Lin Jing and Dragon Carp: ...

"For artifact refining too, living beings were used for rituals."

"Afterwards, it only got worse, starting to research living refining, refining souls, refining corpses, raising Gu with people. This fellow later had a son, and this son had two personal disciples..."

Lin Jing’s eyes narrowed, "The Netherworld Hall Master, Emperor Haili, and the Sect Leader of the Yin Corpse Sect, the Corpse Emperor."

"Exactly! In terms of seniority, this Refining Heaven Immortal Body can even be said to be the grandmaster of Emperor Haili and the Corpse Emperor, and also the root of the Refining Tao Sect’s fall from a righteous sect."

"Nowadays, all three great Demon Sects in the Celestial Essence Realm can be said to be inseparable from this person’s existence."

"Isn’t there a record that this person had died long ago? Could it be..." Lin Jing inquired. According to records, in his later years, this person was almost possessed, constantly refining himself, trying to refine into an immortal and undying body, but ultimately failed and died, his teachings lost.

Ouyang Hao was unusually silent as he revealed what he knew, "He should indeed be dead, but perhaps not completely. He kept experimenting with ways to achieve immortality; most methods failed, but not all. Just perhaps, missing a trigger."

"And the advent of the Golden Era precisely provided that trigger, allowing the entombed Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor to successfully resurrect."

"In fact, the other party might have been resurrected long ago, but it was only ten years ago that the major forces discovered it. By then, this Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor had already captured the Nether Hall, the Gu God, and the reincarnated Corpse Emperor, rebuilt the Refining Tao Sect, and sought revenge for its destruction. It has become a significant threat to the Celestial Essence Continent."

"Originally, the cultivators of Celestial Essence were already recuperated and were planning to send the next batch of cultivators into the Source Realm. However, the resurgence of the Refining Tao Sect makes it difficult for them to divert their attention. After all, it takes considerable effort to operate the Source Realm’s teleportation formation to send nine top talents into the Source Realm. At this sensitive time, it’s not wise to consume too much energy."

"So ultimately, only I was sent in first to inform Junior Brother of the situation..."

"Refining Tao Sect..." Lin Jing furrowed his brows tightly, sighed, "Avoided the Celestial Demon Sect, and now we have the Refining Tao Sect popping up, oh... What about the Demon Emperor?"

"Didn’t I prepare top-grade immortal sources for His Majesty the Demon Emperor? With the immortal sources in hand, hasn’t she become an Immortal Beast yet? Once she becomes an Immortal Beast, won’t she be able to destroy this Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor?"

Ouyang Hao said, "Not yet...but as Junior Brother mentioned, as long as Her Majesty the Demon Emperor continues cultivating step by step and becomes an Immortal Beast, the Refining Tao Sect should not become a significant threat."

"However, it may take some time."

"Therefore, Her Majesty the Demon Emperor sent me to inform Junior Brother not to rush and to give her time to cultivate."

"Once her Immortal Beast bloodline is complete, she will destroy the Refining Tao Sect and continue cooperating with Junior Brother’s plan, so Junior Brother should wait a bit."

Lin Jing nodded, "It seems this Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor is indeed formidable, Innate Immortal Body with an Immortal Body, as long as the Demon Emperor doesn’t become an Immortal Beast, even if the first-generation Ancient Emperor is reborn, even if the cultivators of Celestial Essence come together to restrain him, it would be challenging to eliminate him completely, not to mention, he’s been dormant for many years and has recruited those three demon leaders."

"Yes." Ouyang Hao wore a bitter expression, "Because Her Majesty the Demon Emperor destroyed the Yin Corpse Sect and also the Gu God Sect, plus Junior Brother seized the opportunity of the Nether Hall, it caused these three Demon Sects to be quite unfriendly towards the Demon Court and the Beast Taming Sect."

"Apart from the Celestial Essence Ancient Kingdom that destroyed the Refining Tao Sect, the battle situation in Qingzhou is the most chaotic."

"But it’s not a big problem, not a big problem...waiting for the Demon Emperor..."

"Very few people know that Her Majesty the Demon Emperor is evolving into an Immortal Beast with the top-grade immortal source, correct?" Lin Jing asked.

Ouyang Hao nodded, "Only a very few people know. I only became aware before leaving. The Refining Tao Sect, the Ancient Kingdom, other forces of the Celestial Essence Continent, are all unaware that Junior Brother has given the top-grade immortal source to Her Majesty the Demon Emperor for her to cultivate in secret."

"Understood." Lin Jing nodded, "No wonder no disciples from the Beast Taming Sect have come to the Source Realm yet. In that case, Senior Brother, remain in the Source Realm to cultivate. Once you reach Great Perfection in the Divinity Transformation realm, I will select a Source Realm Spirit Monster for you, and we will research together how to bring the Spirit Monster back to Celestial Essence!"

"For now, I’ll entrust Mingtu Lady to take good care of you. I’ll be back shortly."

"Hmm?" Ouyang Hao was taken aback, "Junior Brother, where are you going? We haven’t met in such a long time, and I wanted to catch up with you."

Lin Jing pondered, "Naturally, I’m planning to return to the Celestial Essence Realm for a while."

"Ah???" Ouyang Hao was stunned, "Junior Brother, you’ve gone mad, leaving the comfort of the Source Realm to go to the troubled waters of the Celestial Essence Realm. With your status, returning to Celestial Essence makes you the number one target for assassination." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Moreover, you want to... if you leave, how will you return?"

Lin Jing chuckled, "I can temporarily elevate my realm to the Void Profound using the Celestial Demon Body, forcing me out of the Source Realm. Once back in Celestial Essence, I can restore my cultivation to Divinity Transformation, meeting the criteria to re-enter the Source Realm. Many cultivators from the Celestial Demon Sect are well-versed in this technique. Although doing so risks me losing control of my realm, what you mentioned earlier reminded me that it’s worth taking the risk."

"What did I say?"

"The Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor, those Demon Cultivators from the Refining Tao Sect, are experts in the art of merging life and soul. I need their cultivation experience!"

If I use the Dao Fruit Technique to absorb and transfer the experiences of the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor, the Corpse Emperor, Emperor Haili, and others in life and soul magic to the Pine Leaf Mouse, is it possible to promote the Glazed Immortal Pupil’s evolution, allowing it to reach the level of life and soul synthesis?
