Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 540 - 109: Tracing the Source

Several days later.

All the alliance cultivators who had visited the Source Realm and seen Lin Jing, the Sea Immortal Spirit, and the Falling Star Immortal Spirit were summoned by Half-Immortal Zhou.

These individuals did not yet know the purpose of Half-Immortal Zhou’s summons, but they dared not disobey the arrangements of this Vice Alliance Hierarch.

Of course, a select few alliance prodigies with backgrounds, like Li Tianyi and Infinite Fairy, directly ignored Half-Immortal Zhou’s orders and were not afraid of any repercussions.

"Recently, odd occurrences have become frequent in the Source Realm. This Alliance Leader suspects demonic interference. Thus, I have invited you all to operate the Star Derivation Array with me to uncover the truth. Please cooperate with us."

"Afterwards, I am willing to bestow upon each of you a wisp of celestial energy as a reward."

Upon being presented with an explanation and benefits, the summoned cultivators immediately brightened up and eagerly responded to Half-Immortal Zhou.

"Alliance Leader Zhou, you’re too kind. It is our honor to serve you, we would not dare to seek a reward."

"Indeed, indeed, Senior Zhou takes great pains to attend to the Source Realm; we should naturally share the burden."

Half-Immortal Zhou nodded, quite satisfied with their responses, and then, along with several other vice leaders, he set up the array. This Star Derivation Array is an immortal array, capable of unveiling causalities of five thousand years past and future once activated.

Towering skyward, bright light soared into the stars. Within the array sat the alliance cultivators who had returned from the Source Realm, while in the void surrounding the array were Half-Immortal Zhou and a few other Seeking Dao cultivators who were responsible for maintaining the array.

"Stars illuminate and observe, divination traces origins, fate fully derived, mysteries abound!"

"Array, activate!"

Half-Immortal Zhou waved the duster in his hand, and a gust of wind directly extracted the memories of the cultivators within the array, forming a sea of memories floating above the array. The starlight illuminated the memory sea, which under the interplay of light and shadow, quickly formed a vortex.

"Go."

A pile of rocks, plants, and trees from the Source Realm were thrown by Half-Immortal Zhou into the vortex.

"Let me see, what is the cause of the illness afflicting the Source Realm."

His eyes flickered as he stared at the vortex of starlight. Soon, a small, spiritual beast gradually appeared in the vortex, causing Half-Immortal Zhou to be visibly stunned.

This is...

A squirrel!

The deduction result of the Star Derivation Array revealed that the changes in the Source Realm were related to this small squirrel.

"Trace back to the source!"

This small squirrel seemed vaguely familiar to Half-Immortal Zhou. As he continued to trace back, he laughed angrily. In fact, the entity he most suspected of causing the Source Realm alterations was the Celestial Demon Sect.

Secondly, the Source Realm spirit monsters, and lastly, Lin Jing.

However, Half-Immortal Zhou never expected the main culprit behind the Source Realm’s turmoil was indeed this Longevity Body, who had shown him no respect.

This squirrel is his pet beast!

"Damn ant." Half-Immortal Zhou thought this way because he did not believe Lin Jing had the capability to influence the Source Realm. Those with such capability would at least have support from the upper world like the Celestial Demon Realm, but surprisingly...

Not only Half-Immortal Zhou but even the other vice leaders were greatly surprised by the results.

"Continue to trace back to the source!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"This youngster must have a treasure!"

Half-Immortal Zhou continued to trace backward while simultaneously probing the origins of the squirrel and Lin Jing. However, in the next moment, the three people assisting with the array urgently shouted: "Friend Zhou, stop!"

Regrettably, it was too late.

No one had time to see anything clearly before a hidden yet powerful force directly backlash against the array, causing it to collapse and hurling the four Seeking Dao cultivators outward, forcing them to spit a mouthful of blood.

As for the cultivators within the array, their seas of consciousness suffered an impact, and they collectively fainted with a scream.

"Boom." Half-Immortal Zhou’s mind was dizzy, but after regaining clarity, he sternly observed the collapsed array and murmured, "I understand."

"Half-Immortal Zhou, you’re crazy!" An untidy old man jumped out, cursing Half-Immortal Zhou: "We already told you to stop. Didn’t you notice? There’s an Immortal trace behind this youngster, and you dare continue the deduction."

"Alright." Half-Immortal Zhou glanced at the man and said, "So what?"

"Just because there are Immortal traces doesn’t mean the other party has Immortal protection."

"Isn’t it true that in the Cultivator Alliance, there are several reincarnated Immortals and even Immortal Monarchs, some of whom are less powerful than us?"

"Then Friend Zhou must have obtained the results he wanted by now, right? Remember to send my promised reward to my residence." The Void God also appeared, his form blurred.

"Naturally." Half-Immortal Zhou chuckled coldly, saying, "Besides obtaining the desired results, I also discovered some more intriguing matters."

"What an excellent self-directed drama. Nine Revolutions Star Monarch, you must have known earlier, right? The demonic prodigy claiming to be the heir of Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, Mo Yu, is actually Lin Jing in disguise. The fact that your disciple Infinite Fairy could escape from Sheng Kun’s hands should also be inseparable from Mo Yu, correct?"

Nine Revolutions Star Monarch laughed and said, "Indeed, I knew long ago. However, I have no connection with Lin Jing, and my disciple paid a certain price to regain freedom. The karma between us has been cleared; there are no further entanglements."

"That is best." Half-Immortal Zhou nodded, "Then thank you, fellow Daoists."

At this moment, Half-Immortal Zhou had already connected everything.

The chief culprit preventing the birth of immortal sources in the Source Realm is undoubtedly Lin Jing.

However, the core lies with Lin Jing’s pet squirrel.

This squirrel, if he had judged correctly, should be a treasure beast with the inheritance of Immortal King level Divine Techniques.

This treasure beast must be using its potent Divine Techniques to influence the Source Realm.

Beyond that, there is no other possibility.

Currently, the separation between the upper and lower realms is severe. To his knowledge, the Immortal Realm has only two layouts in the lower realm.

One is that a batch of True Immortals and Immortal Monarch realm immortals abandoned their memories to reincarnate into the lower realm.

The other is that the Immortal Realm’s demon clan has cast some Divine Techniques into the lower realm.

Since Lin Jing and his companions have a karmic connection with an Immortal, it must be one of these two situations. From the divination results of the deduction, this squirrel has luckily acquired the inheritance of an upper realm Immortal King demon.

"Truly remarkable."

Half-Immortal Zhou was extremely satisfied with this deduction result. What kind of powerful Divine Technique could possibly influence the Source Realm?

For now, he temporarily lost interest in obtaining the immortal source, even though celestial energy is his best resource for enhancing his power.

His greater interest lies in Lin Jing’s treasure beast.

If he could seize this treasure beast from the Longevity Body and turn it into his own pet beast, he might advance further, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those three.

"I remember the Celestial Demon Sect has long wanted to eliminate this Mo Yu."

"In that case, let’s release this news and create some trouble for Lin Jing."

"I wonder if this young man can withstand the pressure of being an enemy to all realms..."
