Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 672 - 34: Celestial Demon’s Nine Offspring
"Is it really sent here?"
At the Saint Spirit Mountain, Lin Jing, who was currently in seclusion, also sensed the contract fluctuation of the Mechanical Turtle, and couldn’t help feeling pleasantly surprised. Here, he had discovered several immortals that were not weaker than his incarnations. Just relying on his third incarnation might not yield any gains at the Immortal King’s relic.
But with the assistance of the Mechanical Turtle, a relic expert, his confidence increased significantly.
"May I ask, are you a disciple of Sword Spirit Valley?"
Meanwhile, Wu Lingxi, who was set free by Lin Jing, also found someone she wanted to spar with. The other party was a girl like her, with True Immortal Realm cultivation at the Nine Layer Heavens, hawking swords at a market between the mountains.
Upon seeing the girl, Wu Lingxi immediately lit up. Sword Spirit Valley was the strongest power nearby, with a tradition of three Immortal Kings. Sword Spirit Valley cultivators usually "nurture sword spirits," and, unlike traditional Sword Cultivators, don’t easily engage personally during battles, instead waving an arm to summon various sword spirits to fight for them.
Finding a traditional Beast Taming Cultivator to spar with was quite difficult, but it’s somewhat feasible to consider sword spirits as pet beasts and have a match.
"Sword Spirit Valley produces extraordinary swords. These low-grade Immortal Sword embryos, once sealed with a beast soul and nurtured for three years, can cultivate a world-class sword spirit at the True Immortal Realm." The sword-selling girl enthusiastically promoted upon seeing a customer.
"Want to buy a sword, fellow cultivator? Though it might not catch this relic trial, next time, a Spiritual Immortal Sword can surely become your best support."
Wu Lingxi nodded vigorously like a pecking chick and said, "I wonder about its power. How about you spar with me? If you win, I’ll buy one."
The sword-selling girl frowned and said, "If you’re not buying, don’t make trouble."
"I’ll buy two."
"Ridiculous."
"Three!"
The sword-selling girl hesitated, "I’m a traditional swordsmith, I don’t easily make a move, but seeing your sincerity, I’ll spar with you. You said, if I win, you’ll buy three."
"Don’t back out later."
"Rest assured." Wu Lingxi nodded confidently, and the two quickly agreed, heading to a nearby peak. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The celestial sense following the disciple Lin Jing hesitated at this.
"Senior, this girl is my disciple, she only wants to spar and means no harm."
Perceiving an Immortal King presence trailing his celestial sense, Lin Jing slowly spoke.
Such a fool, I told her there are two heaven’s chosen ones with Immortal King guardians here! She needs to be cautious when choosing opponents.
Of all the choices, she picks one under Immortal King observation!
"This sword-selling girl has an unusual identity." Lin Jing sighed, realizing the presence withdrawn after his breakthrough to Immortal Monarch. Previously at the True Immortal Realm, he might have revealed something strange to an Immortal King’s scrutiny.
......
"Master, you called me?"
Meanwhile, atop a peak, a Cyan Robed Sword Immortal descended before a gray-robed elder.
"Your junior sister wishes to spar with someone, watch over her and ensure she doesn’t get hurt."
"Is the opponent also... at True Immortal Nine Layer Heavens?" The Cyan Robed Sword Immortal quickly locked onto the two’s whereabouts, saying, "Though my junior sister specializes in swordsmithing, her prowess is formidable. Her lifebound Immortal Sword is a mid-grade sword; ordinary True Immortals aren’t her match."
"I observed the girl with celestial sense, the master behind her is a cultivator at Immortal Monarch Realm."
"Though merely an Immortal Monarch, yet gives an unfathomable impression. The Creation Immortal King’s relic only admits those below the Immortal King Realm, he’s likely here for the relic, becoming your formidable opponent. Watching the battle helps to understand him through his disciple."
After his master’s words, the Cyan Robed Sword Immortal paused, thinking how his terrifyingly powerful Sword Spirit Valley master felt such about merely an Immortal Monarch.
How is this possible... Sword Spirit Valley’s eldest disciple, Xiao Yuheng, grew solemn, focusing on his junior sister’s situation.
"This girl is... an Immortal Pupil!"
"Wait, is this Beast Taming?!"
As the sparring unfolded, Xiao Yuheng exclaimed, seeing Wu Lingxi’s twin pupils shimmering gold and dark, summoning a Great Sun Golden Crow and Dark Raven with pupil techniques.
Immortal pupils aren’t too rare to these major powers, but it’s the first time seeing one mastering Beast Taming Dao with such a body.
"She can summon two Immortal Beast follows of Immortal Monarch bloodlines; her master being an Immortal King would make sense, but an Immortal Monarch... how?"
Amidst the skirmish, even the sword-selling girl froze, wondering how two True Immortal Realm beasts appeared. Facing them, she had only a mid-grade sword spirit for defense, leaving lower-grade sword spirits quite inadequate.
Soon, she was defeated.
"Learned anything?" The Sword Spirit Valley’s Immortal King asked.
Xiao Yuheng nodded, saying, "Her cultivation and divine techniques suit her Immortal Pupil physique, likely a Beast Taming Cultivator, her master also... and very skilled in Beast Taming Dao."
"The Creation Immortal King’s Dao, while not Beast Taming, is somewhat akin, offering familiarity to similar Dao cultivators in trials."
"Thank you for the forewarn, Master. I’ll be cautious of her within the relic."
Triumphant, Wu Lingxi was eager to challenge more True Immortal Realm cultivators. Her prowess gradually drew the attention of the True Immortal and Immortal Monarchs awaiting the relic’s opening.
"What’s this girl’s background?" Confused, the crowd couldn’t discern Wu Lingxi’s source.
While Wu Lingxi was testing skills, the Mechanical Turtle drifted beside the third body, entering within.
"Why not enter?"
Arriving, the Mechanical Turtle queried Lin Jing about his hesitation.
Lin Jing replied, "The relic isn’t open yet, patience is required."
"Huh?" The turtle paused, pondering the continued wait or perhaps rushing in for convenience.
"This is no lower realm, discard such unfit notions." Lin Jing sighed. The Creation Immortal King’s relic, of quasi-Immortal Emperor power, holds grave consequences compared to recklessly barging into lower realm relics.
"A shame." The turtle lamented, having sensed ways to enter prematurely while scanning the area.
Yet, as Lin Jing advised, it let go.
The turtle intended to wait peacefully for the relic’s opening, suddenly its expression shifted, mirroring two nearby Immortal Kings’ reactions.
"This is...!"
"One of the Nine Celestial Demons, the One-Eyed King, Demon Abyss!" A colossal magic vortex, a demon dragon soared out, carrying a one-eyed youth in black upon its head.
From a mountain, Sword Spirit Valley’s Sword Immortal King cast eyes skyward, troubled saying, "The rumors are true."
Reports indicate numerous demonic cultivators emerging, plundering heaven’s chosen’s destinies. Fearful for his disciples’ safety from the demon’s grasp, he’d accompanied them.
Unexpectedly, Sword Spirit Valley’s Sword Immortal King never imagined, this relic accepting only Immortal Monarchs, would attract one of the Immortal King level Nine Celestial Demons. His level couldn’t enter the relic, but what is his purpose?
