Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 518 - 89: Teaming Up with the Demon Emperor

Chapter 518: Chapter 89: Teaming Up with the Demon Emperor

"Since it’s already open, should we go? Shouldn’t we?"

Lin Jing felt quite helpless. Going poses risks, not going means he’d miss out on the treasures granted by the Master of the Immortal Palace from the Immortal Realm, which feels like a huge loss.

The Immortal Ascension Secret Realm itself, Lin Jing estimated, shouldn’t be dangerous. After all, it’s an Immortal Palace from the Immortal Realm, used to test cultivators from the lower realm.

These cultivators from the lower realm, being able to qualify to enter the Immortal Ascension Secret Realm, are undoubtedly outstanding figures of the lower realm.

In any case, these cultivators are considered excellent disciples of the Immortal Palace, and the Immortal Palace of the Immortal Realm isn’t some Demon Dao that would easily harm their lives.

Thus, the greatest danger in entering this Immortal Ascension Secret Realm likely would come from the other entrants.

Currently, he had a few assumptions about the situation in the Tianming realm.

One possibility is the Tianming realm has already been destroyed, in which case the only cultivator likely to discover and enter the Immortal Ascension Secret Realm would be the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor.

Since the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor and he had agreed on a thousand-year pact, there’s no reason for him to kill him in this Secret Realm, especially since the Celestial Essence Realm outside the Secret Realm can be visited by the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor at any time. So, in such a situation, entering the Immortal Ascension Secret Realm wouldn’t be very dangerous.

The second possibility is that the Tianming realm invited powerful allies from the alliance who repelled the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor. Lin Jing considered this unlikely unless the Alliance Leader intervened, which seemed almost impossible. In this scenario, the entrants would probably be strong cultivators from the Xianxia alliance.

If he encountered strong cultivators from the Xianxia alliance, it would be tricky, but not unsolvable. After all, he was also the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Immortal City. They were all on the same side, so he could reiterate his old tricks, using the Celestial Essence as a promise for safety.

The third possibility... due to some circumstances, the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor hasn’t made a move yet, and all the entrants are local cultivators from the Tianming realm.

Such a scenario would undoubtedly be the best, as not just any cultivator from the Realm of Seeking Path could pose a threat to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing’s setup, with his Celestial Demon Body and Longevity Immortal Body, allowed him to temporarily possess peak mana of the Realm of Seeking Path. The Mechanical Turtle’s celestial qi reserve allowed him to unleash the full might of Immortal Artifacts, controlling multiple Immortal Artifacts perfectly, making him a rare sight among the Realm of Seeking Path cultivators.

That wasn’t even counting Lin Jing’s other methods.

Besides, Lin Jing was a Beast Master, whose combat strength relied on beasts. Although creatures like Song-Leaf Mouse, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu weren’t much use in battles at the Realm of Seeking Path, there was room for up to five people in the Immortal Ascension Secret Realm.

Lin Jing planned to bring the Demon Emperor along to see. The Demon Emperor, having just acquired celestial bloodline, could control Immortal Artifacts with celestial qi and possessed combat-oriented Treasure Beast Divine Techniques, making his strength indisputable.

If the "Master of the Immortal Palace’s rewards" in this Immortal Ascension Secret Realm were valuable, perhaps the Demon Emperor’s strength could advance further.

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"

Besides the Demon Emperor, Lin Jing hoped to bring a few others along, but for a while, couldn’t find anyone suitable. After all, even the Second Ancient Emperor probably couldn’t compare with the Demon Emperor in terms of strength and wouldn’t be much help.

"You’ve come, here’s your Celestial Essence."

Although the Demon Emperor’s strength had enhanced significantly, and his bloodline now reached celestial level, he nonetheless appeared like a child with a tigerish face, leaving Lin Jing speechless. Could this be considered promising young talent or underdevelopment?

"Let’s set aside the Celestial Essence for now. Your Majesty, come with me, I’ve discovered a Secret Realm!"

"Hmm?" The Demon Emperor’s eyes flashed and said, "What Secret Realm?"

"It’s the Immortal Ascension Secret Realm used by the Immortal Palace in the Immortal Realm to select core disciples. With your strength, I don’t know if you can meet the standards of core disciples. Anyway, let’s give it a try. If successful, the Master of the Immortal Palace’s rewards would surely be extraordinary."

Lin Jing was confident about this. An Immortal Palace Grotto Heaven used to cultivate geniuses of various cultivation levels could grant treasures like the "Sands of Time" and "Demon Bloodline." One can imagine the truly abundant foundation of the Immortal Palace in the Immortal Realm.

So, the treasures which the Master of the Immortal Palace bestows on "prospective core disciples" must be even more precious.

"My claws are itching!" the Demon Emperor licked his lips, revealing his tiger teeth, eager to try.

"Although, the situation in the Tianming realm, with the cultivators entering, is unknown. Whether we encounter the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor or powerful figures from the Xianxia alliance, you must follow my arrangements. Don’t engage in conflicts recklessly." Lin Jing repeatedly reminded, fearing the Demon Emperor would cause trouble for him.

After all, Lin Jing understood the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor and the Xianxia alliance better than the Demon Emperor, avoiding many troubles by contacting them himself.

"This Emperor understands, we’ll go along with whatever the Saint Heir says." The Demon Emperor shrugged it off, saying, "From now on, this Emperor is just your muscle. I only fight, not think."

"That’s exactly the idea..." Lin Jing exhaled, now they could head to the Immortal Ascension Secret Realm.

......

"Is this the Immortal Ascension Secret Realm?"

"In response to the envoy, according to ancient records, this Immortal Ascension Secret Realm is very special, with tests set by different Immortals, emphasizing the word ’fate’. The content of each assessment is unpredictable."

In the Tianming realm, the Palace Master of Tianming Immortal Palace led the alliance envoy directly into the Secret Realm under his urging.

"Not bad, I didn’t expect to find such an opportunity during this visit to the Tianming realm." The alliance envoy was overjoyed. Although he was an envoy, he was just an Acquired Immortal Body cultivator of the Realm of Seeking Path. If he could obtain treasures from the Master of the Immortal Palace in the Immortal Realm, he might achieve a further breakthrough.

He didn’t let the Palace Master of Tianming Immortal Palace call other cultivators from the Realm of Seeking Path to join, only the two of them entered, leaving a local familiar with the Secret Realm as a guide.

In the assessment hall, even before the Palace Master of Tianming Immortal Palace could continue speaking, another wave of teleportation manifested.

"People from the Celestial Essence Realm?"

The alliance envoy looked around and naturally realized it was a shared Secret Realm between two realms. He wasn’t unfamiliar with the Celestial Essence Realm, largely due to the prominent figure Lin Jing being highly renowned in the Source Realm, making numerous cultivators from the Realm of Seeking Path hear of him.

"How could it be him!"

Moments later, as Lin Jing entered the Secret Realm with the Demon Emperor, the Palace Master of Tianming Immortal Palace stood astonished, unable to comprehend how the heroic figure Lin Jing from the Source Realm would appear in this Immortal Ascension Secret Realm.

Moreover, his cultivation level fluctuated at the Realm of Seeking Path!

His appearance matched perfectly with the portrait of Lin Jing submitted by the talents from Tianming.

Could it be that Lin Jing was this person’s descendant?! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

With cultivators from both realms entering, the first layer of the Immortal Ascension Secret Realm’s assessment hall presented its assessment content.

Ahead of everyone appeared four huge wooden barrels.

[To seek immortality, one must understand that techniques aren’t easily passed. Place your sincerity into the barrels; the heavier your sincerity, the better it would be for your subsequent assessments. Ideally, offer treasures not belonging to the lower realm, obtained accidentally—this would exemplify genuine sincerity.]

The four of them: ???

What kind of test was this? Who designed this? Didn’t the Master of the Immortal Palace review it? What sort of ethos is this?
