Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 519 - 90: This Immortal Palace Is Not Proper
Everyone originally thought that the Immortal Palace’s trial in the Immortal Realm would test talents, comprehension, dueling techniques, or at least something as elusive as fate or destined encounters was within the normal range.
In the end, the trial started with sending gifts from the lower realm cultivators to the higher realm, leaving Lin Jing utterly perplexed.
If you were to say this was in his previous hometown, indeed, this was the common practice everywhere.
Even in some small sects, doing this wouldn’t be surprising to Lin Jing.
But these are the core disciples being screened for the great forces of the Immortal Realm, and yet they play this kind of trickery, isn’t there something amiss here?
"How greedy," mumbled the Alliance Envoy. The Immortal Palace is no small force in the Immortal Realm after all; those who can participate in the design of the Immortal Ascension Secret Realm must be at least elder-level Immortal Monarchs.
The lavish gifts sent by the lower realm’s Seeking Dao Cultivators might catch the eye of an ordinary True Immortal, but expecting to catch the eye of an Immortal Monarch would be too difficult.
But there are no absolutes; there are always some geniuses from the lower realm who, by chance, encounter some heaven-defying opportunities. Such treasures, even placed in the Immortal Realm, are considered excellent treasures. Did the Immortal Palace cultivators design this segment hoping the entrants would offer such treasures?
Only fools would truly give them up!
Moreover, with the contact between the lower realm and the Immortal Realm severed, the treasures thrown in probably won’t even reach the higher realm. Just put in something randomly.
"Celestial Cry, give it a try." The Alliance Envoy glanced at the Celestial Cry Palace Master, asking him to show some sincerity first, then continued to survey Lin Jing and the Demon Emperor.
"May I ask how you two should be addressed?"
"I am an envoy of the Cultivation Alliance, under the command of Vice Alliance Hierarch Sword Taixu. You two must be from the Celestial Essence Realm, correct?"
At the same time, Lin Jing, after murmuring to himself, judged the situation of the Celestial Cry Realm from the entrants on the Celestial Cry’s side.
The Celestial Cry Realm has not yet fallen!
The Cultivation Alliance has made its move.
However, the Alliance cultivators entering the Secret Realm are not one of the major Alliance leaders, meaning the great power of the alliance who stopped the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor isn’t here. The situation inside this Immortal Ascension Secret Realm is much better than I imagined, except the content of the trial is somewhat unexpected.
"Lin Aotian," Lin Jing introduced himself.
"Master of the Celestial Essence Demon Court," the Demon Emperor said lightly.
"This fellow Daoist, you seem very similar in appearance to Lin Jing, the genius from the same origin world, could it be..." the Alliance Envoy also voiced the Celestial Cry Palace Master’s doubts. He had seen Lin Jing’s portrait, and indeed it was very similar.
"Lin Jing, my son, ha ha ha ha, it seems my son’s name has reverberated across all realms," Lin Jing displayed a satisfied smile.
"Lin Jing, my Demon Court Saint Child, ha ha ha ha," the Demon Emperor echoed Lin Jing’s words; whatever Lin Jing said, she just imitated it...
Damn!
The two people coming from the Celestial Essence Realm don’t seem quite normal, the Alliance Envoy and Celestial Cry Palace Master revealed black lines across their faces.
"I am the Immortal Palace Master of the Celestial Cry Realm. Meeting you two is a fateful encounter, so how about exploring this Immortal Ascension Secret Realm together? What are your thoughts on the first trial?"
Celestial Cry did not immediately throw in the "sincerity," ignoring the Alliance Envoy’s command. Although this Alliance Envoy was of high status, being a follower of Sword Taixu, in terms of power, Celestial Cry wasn’t afraid of him.
Now, as it concerns the treasure bestowed by the Master of the Immortal Palace, he began to have his own considerations.
The Demon Emperor glanced at Lin Jing, implying that she would follow his instructions completely.
"This barrel..." Lin Jing squinted and said, "If there were still connections between the lower realm and the higher realm, offering a great treasure might indeed attract the admiration of the higher realm immortals, but given the current situation, I think it’s fine to just place some random items to avoid placing valuable things without gaining attention from the higher realm, and in the end, not being able to retrieve them."
"You say so, but would casually placing things not seem respectful enough?" said the Celestial Cry Palace Master.
"In the end, everyone should just weigh things out themselves." Lin Jing transmitted his voice to the Demon Emperor:
"We should place some items that appear valuable but are not important to us."
"What, supreme immortal aura?" the Demon Emperor asked. This stuff is extremely precious, and they still have some leftover – placing a couple wouldn’t hurt.
"Your Majesty, supreme immortal aura is indeed precious, but that’s only for the lower realm. As for the Immortal Realm, immortal aura is something even a stray cat consumes day and night on the streets, so it doesn’t count as much."
"Then what would you suggest placing?" the Demon Emperor inquired.
"Your Majesty, it seems you’re not very keen on transitioning to the ’Nine Dances of the Immortal Qin’ I sent before? This is a cultivation technique created by an Immortal King in unison with several Immortal Monarchs adept in the way of music. Even in the Immortal Realm, it’s a rare cultivation technique. If you don’t wish to switch to it, you might as well try placing it here."
"Right." The Demon Emperor looked conflicted. This cultivation technique is indeed exceptional, but she’s really not into musical dance; currently, her cultivation technique belongs to the demon race technique left by the ancestor of the Divine Tiger Race, which she’s very fond of. Rather than switching, she prefers to improve her technique, making it stronger. Although this is difficult, it’s inherited and can’t be discarded lightly.
However, this Immortal Monarch-level cultivation technique cannot be engraved by anyone other than immortals; only one version exists in the lower realm. If thrown in, it will truly be lost. This is indeed extravagant.
"Let’s try it." Lin Jing wasn’t very distressed, then began contemplating what he should throw in.
There indeed were many valuable things on him, but only in the context of the lower realm. As for placing something rare even in the Immortal Realm... he really didn’t have any. Lin Jing thought for a bit, perhaps tossing in a few synthesized items from the Glazed Immortal Pupil?
No matter how you look at it, the Immortal Pupil is a Divine Technique at the Immortal King level. Whatever it creates, even in the Immortal Realm, should be considered rare, although its value might not be significant, it still excels in rarity, originating from an Immortal King’s Divine Technique!
"Just send more, one of them is bound to strike the right chord," Lin Jing muttered.
The four individuals, each with different thoughts, tossed items into the wooden barrel. Moments later, they stepped back, and everything inside disappeared without a trace, immediately followed by the appearance of a mechanical sound.
Indeed! Even though the connection between the upper and lower realms has broken, within the Secret Realm, exists a mechanism similar to an Artifact Spirit that oversees the trials.
The Alliance Envoy’s barrel lit up first, with the mysterious mechanical voice emitting a cold and indifferent sound: "A damaged Immortal Artifact, are you trying to fob off a beggar? There’s no sincerity in this."
"Damn," the Alliance Envoy clenched his fist. It’s not like he owes them, and they still complain.
The Demon Emperor’s barrel lit up next: "A high-level cultivation technique, quite sincere."
"That’s it?" The Demon Emperor was stunned. Shit, her Immortal Monarch-level cultivation technique, and all she got was a ’quite sincere’??
The Celestial Cry Palace Master’s barrel shortly lit up: "A treasure bestowed upon the lower realm from the higher realm, and you’re sending it back? Are you kidding?"
The Celestial Cry Palace Master’s face turned green, damn it, isn’t the most valuable thing in the Celestial Cry Realm the treasures bestowed from the Immortal Palace of the higher realm?
If you despise it as garbage, then stop bestowing it downward.
Until it came to Lin Jing, where the mechanical voice fell silent.
