Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 658 - 20: Walking the Immortal Path Alone
During the five years of seclusion in the Ancient Immortal World, two thousand springs and autumns have passed in the Cultivation Realm.
In two thousand years, much can happen. Even for the Seeking Dao Cultivators, the highest level in the Cultivation Realm, two thousand years is one-fifth of their lives. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
For a Seeking Dao Cultivator who can live ten thousand years, the most golden age of cultivation is only in the first two millennia.
Unbeknownst to them, the prodigies who grew up in the same era as Lin Jing, if calculated by the traditional "golden age of cultivation," have gradually drifted away from the concept of "prodigy." Their understanding of spells and the speed of cultivation have both slowed down.
In reality, the lower realm’s cultivation environment has worsened.
As the Demon Lord uses the Celestial Dao Treasure to transfer Spiritual Qi from the lower realm, the difficulty of cultivation in the lower realm has doubled, and achieving Seeking Dao is as difficult as ascension in the past.
Those prodigies who wished to stay in the lower realm to consolidate could not simply because their cultivation speed was too slow and were forced to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
In these two thousand years, Lin Jing’s true self has been in the lower realm searching for the path of ascension while cultivating and seeking new ways to reach Earth.
But whether it was due to tampering by the demons, Earth’s unsuitability for ascension, or just bad luck, he still hasn’t found this path.
The Immortal Realm also has no solution to the demon problem.
The Demon Lord seems to have made another breakthrough in the control of the Celestial Dao Treasure.
However, the Eastern Immortal Emperor told Lin Jing not to worry because the use of any magical treasure is not without limits, especially the Celestial Dao Treasure.
After this event, the Demon Lord should lie dormant for a long time to recover from exhaustion and will be unable to foster other ambitions.
Failing to find the ascension path with the Spiritual Qi of the lower realm rapidly declining, Lin Jing’s plan is severely hindered.
He cannot assist some talented cultivators to ascend to the Ancient Immortal World to help the incarnation.
With the Demon Lord causing such a disturbance, Lin Jing cannot help but worry about the incarnation.
Besides, he began persuading a group of friends to ascend to the current Immortal Realm. With the current environment of the Cultivation Realm, it’s fortunate if they don’t regress in cultivation.
He cannot, for the sake of seeking help for the incarnation, impair others’ cultivation. Moreover, the Ancient Immortal World may not necessarily be a good place to settle.
The situation there is also currently unknown.
In the blink of an eye, how many familiar faces can still be found in this vast lower realm? Lin Jing doesn’t know.
He has already drunk numerous farewell wines.
From Senior Brother Ouyang who led him into the Immortal Sect,
to Dog Households Gao Sheng, Ling Yue Sword Immortal Feng Ning, met because of the Ice Soul Gu.
And then to Wang Xiao and his academy classmates, even descendants of old classmates have already Seeking Dao ascended.
Also Senior Sister Xu Qingyao... Huanli Ancestor of Thousand Illusion Sect...
Even Elder Mo and Black Bear Spirit, who were initially unable to ascend due to talent, Lin Jing couldn’t bear to watch them die and procured Physique Pills and Ascension Pills to help them ascend to the Immortal Realm for better opportunities.
Needless to say, those Spirit Monsters from the Source Realm.
Counting down, in this vast lower realm, only old Mo Song and the Demon Emperor linger on.
Aside from that... Gu Qianqiu who returned from the Source Realm, and Mosquito Maiden, guided by Lin Jing, won’t leave no matter what.
Adding to that, even if Lin Jing wanted them to leave, they couldn’t since Taoist Zhu Yan, who continues to help him seek the ascension path, also remains in this vast lower realm, making these five people the ones Lin Jing is still familiar with.
"I have an agreement with the Eastern Immortal Emperor who promised to take care of these ascendants from the Celestial Essence Realm."
"As long as I hold fort in this lower realm and fend off the demon invaders, they will receive the Immortal Emperor’s tradition protection in the Immortal Realm."
Of course, apart from these five, there is also a group of pet beasts by Lin Jing’s side.
Except for the Mechanical Turtle, each pet beast possesses the lineage of Immortal King and the potential of an Immortal King.
And due to the existence of the Emperor’s Seven Imperialisms, even if they become Immortal Kings in the future, they will be among the stronger batch.
Even now, though they have not yet become immortals, they can battle True Immortals and each surpasses former demon generals in strength.
The Pine Leaf Mouse, with its extreme intuition, has been helping Lin Jing search for the ascension path for years, comprehending Space Power to the fullest. As an individual, it equals a cross-boundary teleportation array, could easily take Lin Jing leaping among many galaxies, its internal space opened to an absurd degree, storing many stars, essentially a small universe within.
The Dragon Carp, possessing extreme attacking power, though not yet immortal, its terrifying flames could easily refine even mid-grade Immortal Artifacts, perhaps even the founder of the Flame Emperor’s Divine Techniques would not match a tenth of its power before becoming immortal.
The Ice Soul Gu, with extreme speed, is even more extraordinary. Its poison’s spread can cover several planets within a second, mesmerizing numerous beings in the Cultivation Realm at one thought.
The Mechanical Turtle, with extreme Divine Sense, has been exploring the lower realm for two thousand years. Its greatest achievement is successfully exploring the Immortal Emperor’s dojo discovered by Zhu Yan long ago and, under the pursuit of the Immortal Emperor’s will, stealing a broken top-grade Immortal Artifact. Using its invincible Divine Sense and Artifact Spirit body to wield it, this broken top-grade Immortal Artifact became its trump card.
The Star Life Crane, with extreme life force, can instantly heal even the most severe wounds, revive low-level cultivators, even mass-producing Longevity Bodies, granting others the Power of Longevity. However, these Longevity Seeds would have to bear some drawbacks, especially as the Possterior-born Longevity Body is not necessarily a good thing.
The Heaven Emperor Frog, with extreme defense power, has a body strength comparable to a top-grade Immortal Artifact, the best sparring partner.
The Holy Egg, with extreme mana, also has the potential of the new holy race. Its Holy Power, transformed by the Emperor’s Seven Imperialisms, can now affect royal blood demon clans and its abundant mana surpasses all pet beasts, its domain can continually cover a cultivation realm for a hundred years without exhausting!
Therefore, once Lin Jing finds a way to ascend to Earth and send these pet beasts, then...
He believes no matter what enemies the demon clan sends to Earth, with the assistance of these pet beasts to his incarnation, there will be nothing to worry about.
Of course, at that time, it will also mark one thing.
That is, after the last batch of people and pet beasts ascend, the Cultivation Realm will no longer have any beings familiar to Lin Jing, perhaps keeping incarnations to accompany him, but their existence will not last long.
"Lin, Brother Lin."
"I found it."
"I found it."
Several hundred years later, Zhu Yan hurriedly arrived, excitedly transmitting the news: "I finally found the ascension path, but."
"But what," Lin Jing took a deep breath, has this day finally come?
"But rather than I found it, it’s more like the Ancient Immortal World suddenly shone, and I discovered it."
"According to speculation, I think because from today on, Earth’s rules... are likely more perfected and can now... carry the Immortal Monarch Realm."
Lin Jing’s expression faintly changed, without a doubt, the incarnation is in danger.
Even if the incarnation brought a lot of resources, it’s impossible to jump from True Immortal to Immortal Monarch in just a few years.
Even if, by some miracle, it breaks through to the Immortal Monarch Realm, the gap between the first and Ninth Layer of Immortal Monarch is unimaginable.
He cannot imagine any way for the incarnation to resist the impending invasion, but thankfully, the ascension path has now been found.
"Are you all ready?" Lin Jing asked the pet beasts, especially... asking the Holy Egg, it may be the hope for the incarnation’s turnaround.
