Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 546 - 1: Ancient Immortal Realm

"Mushroom, are you teasing me again?"

The situation was too bizarre, and Lin Jing first thought of the Magic Mushroom, this fellow.

It originated from himself, so naturally, it also knew about him being a transmigrator.

Could it be that seeing him bored, it created a little surprise for him again?

Then accidentally, it turned into a fright...

"Mugu!" However, this time the Magic Mushroom was indeed wronged; it did nothing.

It has been honestly cultivating within Lin Jing’s body...

Lin Jing was quite devoted to the Magic Mushroom; over the years, Lin Jing had other Divine Techniques and Magic reach the level sufficient to birth Technique Elemental Spirits, but he abandoned them all.

Too many Magic spells birthing consciousness is not a good thing; they can cultivate themselves after gaining consciousness but would also consume a certain amount of the master’s energy. Lin Jing’s cultivation speed was already slow, and if he were to nurture too many Technique Elemental Spirits, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate at all.

Giving them consciousness but ignoring them would be rather inhumane.

Having the Illusory Mushroom to handle his daily life was sufficient.

Shaking his head, after confirming it wasn’t the small mushroom causing mischief, Lin Jing felt somewhat desolate.

Indeed, there are no free lunches in the world. During the Earth period, he was terminally ill, bedridden, no different from a dead person.

Yet fortunately, he arrived at the Celestial Essence Realm, and the illness was gone, which wasn’t by chance.

He... turned out to be a part of the contingency plan against the Celestial Demon Clan.

"Earth, Ancient Immortal Realm?" Lin Jing wanted to confirm again.

This Illusory Spirit Body said, "Long ago, the Immortal Realm was composed of four, but due to some reasons, three of them experienced Spiritual Qi depletion, turning into the desolate Ancient Immortal Realms. In its early years, Earth also had many celestial beings and buddhas, but with the depletion of Spiritual Qi, it gradually became unsuitable for cultivation. Forget about attaining immortality, there were hardly any ordinary cultivators left. These celestial beings and buddhas had long left Earth, and in the end, only mortals remained."

"And my master was the last cultivator to attain immortality before Earth’s complete Spiritual Qi dissipation during the End of Dharma Era."

"After leaving Earth, he went to the only remaining Immortal Realm and ultimately attained the Dao, becoming an Immortal Emperor!"

"Currently, in the Immortal Realm, the Demon Clan is rampant, disrupting the master’s cultivation. However, due to the presence of the Celestial Dao Treasure, it’s very challenging to completely eliminate the Demon Lord within the same realm. At the request of various powers, the master used Great Magical Power to send several dying or dead mortals from the Ancient Immortal Realms to various Cultivation Realms." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"The idea was to have these people act as the final trump card, thwarting the Demon Lord’s schemes."

Lin Jing listened but did not agree nor disagree.

"...Me?"

"Furthermore, why select people from the Ancient Immortal Realms? Given that Emperor could achieve such feats, it wouldn’t be difficult to directly cultivate a successor across realms here."

Though Lin Jing was now a well-known figure in the lower realm, he was also aware of his own strength and potential.

The Demon Lord, who even the Immortal Emperor Realm found troublesome, and his greatest card were the inheritance Divine Techniques of the Glazed Immortal King, was evidently insufficient.

"Do not belittle yourself. I said, indeed you are not capable now; thus, Emperor arranged for your return to Earth."

"Why select people from the Ancient Immortal Realms instead of directly cultivating in the lower realm? Isn’t that simple? Even being an abandoned Ancient Immortal Realm, not just anyone can enter Earth; only Earth’s original beings could do so."

"And the Ancient Immortal Realms are also the main part of the Emperor’s plan."

"Earth, the ancient Immortal Realm, has already begun Spiritual Qi recovery. Along with this recovery, Earth’s Heavenly Dao will is also re-emerging. As a former Immortal Realm, Earth possesses things that the lower realms do not have..."

"Obtaining it, you would be an unbeatable existence in the lower realm, even if an Immortal King from the upper realm descends, they would not be your opponent, making you the most dreaded existence for the Demon Lord in this lower realm! As long as you are alive for a day, the Demon Lord’s plan cannot be completed!"

"What?" Lin Jing asked.

"Celestial Destiny."

"There are three major differences between the Immortal and lower realms: The first is that the world’s strength in the Immortal Realm is higher. In the source realm, you can easily tear apart space, but in the Immortal Realm, it’s not possible to do so easily; the second difference is that the higher world strength results in higher cultivation limits, having the capacity to bear Immortal Power, unlike the lower realm, where progress halts at a certain point."

"And what I mentioned as Celestial Destiny is the most important difference. Occasionally, Celestial Destiny is born in the Immortal Realm, it is elusive but will autonomously choose someone to merge with. Successfully merging with Celestial Destiny, without falling, one can almost definitely become an Immortal Emperor."

"In other words, only those who have merged with Celestial Destiny can use its power to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm."

"Master deduced that a Celestial Destiny will emerge after Earth’s Spiritual Qi recovery. Despite some remaining cultivators restarting their cultivation and some self-sealed patriarchs, their cultivation and aptitude are unlikely to gain Celestial Destiny recognition."

"After all, the minimum requirement to gain Celestial Destiny is a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivation, able to merge with the Power of Heaven and Earth. Such cultivation probably no longer exists on Earth. Even if it does, they are on their last legs, not knowing how many years they have been in a slumbering seal, making them unpromising."

"Therefore, the Emperor took you all out of Earth, bringing you to this starry space for cultivation and trials, so that after returning to Earth with your current foundation, the chance of obtaining Celestial Destiny would undoubtedly be greater."

"As long as one among you successfully obtains Celestial Destiny recognition and merges with it, your talent and potential will change drastically, and naturally, your power will become invincible in the lower realm, akin to a young Immortal Emperor."

"So, you lucky little one, did you understand? You were standing at most cultivators’ endpoint since birth. Even if it’s an abandoned Immortal Realm, even if they are mortals, you are ultimately a person of the Immortal Realm. Being sent to the lower realm means you are gifted with a Longevity Body, with a lifespan longer than most beings in the lower realm..."

Celestial Destiny...

Lin Jing fell into contemplation, then looked up and asked: "You just mentioned, a day on Earth is a year in the lower realm. If I’ve been cultivating here for hundreds of years, so on Earth, less than three years have passed?"

"And if I, as you said, go to the Ancient Immortal Realm Earth and stay there for a year, then over here... more than three hundred years would swiftly pass."

"That’s right," the Illusory Spirit Body nodded.

This caused Lin Jing to furrow his brows and ask, "Since my life was bestowed anew by your master, I do not oppose returning to Earth to seek Celestial Destiny, but in five hundred years, I have important matters to attend, so I am afraid I cannot stay on Earth for long!"
