Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 584 Spirit King
"It seems that the Tianyuan Realm has undergone considerable changes during my time on Earth."

Lin Jingling stood in the sky, his hands behind his back, looking at the enormous Tianyuan.

Despite its area being countless times larger than Earth, its strength is remarkably fragile.

Over there, he struggled to conquer each country, but here, it seemed that wherever his thoughts led, he could shatter the void and depart.

Is this what they mean by "the best things come in small packages"?

"However, more than half of this vast territory belongs to the spirits and monsters."

He was invincible in the Origin Realm for five hundred years. During these five hundred years, he had been carrying out the "Spirit Transfer Plan," which brought a large number of spirits from the Origin Realm into the Tianyuan Continent.

At that time, Lin Jing was also paying close attention to the development of Tianyuan Continent, and overall, there were no major changes.

During the time he was away on Earth, another three hundred years passed in the Tianyuan Realm. In those three hundred years, the changes in this place were greater than Lin Jing had imagined.

Tianyuan Realm has become like a small-scale Origin Realm, with the territory occupied by spirits and monsters surpassing that of the original inhabitants of Tianyuan.

He slowly landed on the mountain peak below. Inside the cave, a rogue cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage was cultivating. The cultivator appeared to be around five hundred years old, clearly having reached the limit of Core Formation.

"Failed……"

As Lin Jing landed, this white-haired Core Formation cultivator failed to form his Nascent Soul for the last time within his lifespan. His body was filled with deathly aura, and he was already waiting for death to come.

As a young man approached him, he smiled nonchalantly: "Even with the grand formation, you were still discovered? Oh well, lucky fellow. My meager remaining resources will be yours to keep."

"I'm asking you," Lin Jing looked at the other person, "what major events have occurred on the Tianyuan Continent in the last three hundred years?"

"Hmm?" Even though he was on the verge of death, the Core Formation cultivator felt an undeniable pressure as the young man suddenly approached. Under this pressure, his muddled consciousness cleared considerably, and he unconsciously replied:
"The biggest event... the biggest event is the 'Spirit King's' inquiry into the Dao, which caused the strongest person and the most powerful force on the continent to change hands!"

"Spirit King?"

who.

do not know.

"The Spirit King is the descendant of the Origin Realm Great Spirit, the Netherworld Goddess, and the Origin Realm Great Spirit, the Meteor Fairy Spirit."

"Seven hundred years ago, I signed a contract with a genius from the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom who possessed the body of the God of Death in the Origin Realm and came to Tianyuan."

Lin Jing was completely unaware of this.

Over the past few hundred years, countless geniuses from the Tianyuan Realm have entered the Origin Realm, taking with them countless Origin Realm spirits and monsters.

He couldn't possibly keep track of everything; he delegated the task to his subordinates.

However, he did know that the Underworld Goddess and the Meteor Fairy had offspring, since it was the Pine Leaf Rat who was in charge.

The Underworld Goddess has more than one such descendant.

They've hybridized dozens of them.

If this is a descendant of the Goddess of the Underworld, she would most likely have inherited her talent for death. Therefore, it's not impossible that the Goddess of the Underworld entrusted this to a divine being of death to bring development to the Tianyuan Continent. Now it seems this descendant is quite extraordinary?
"Not long after arriving in the Tianyuan Realm, this 'Spirit King' broke with his contractor, and the two terminated their contract. The Spirit King then became a rogue cultivator."

"For five hundred years, the Spirit King has remained completely silent."

"But just two hundred years ago, the Spirit King suddenly succeeded in the Dao Inquiry stage, becoming incredibly powerful. He directly challenged the strongest person on the continent, the Lord of the Demon Court, and defeated the Demon Emperor, who was at the peak of the Dao Inquiry stage, while only at the initial stage of the Dao Inquiry stage!"

"Thus, the title of the strongest on the continent has changed hands. The Spirit King has become the strongest on the continent, and his strength has made countless spirits and monsters revere him."

"And the spirits that followed it all succeeded in attaining enlightenment within a short century. To this day, the number of spirits who have attained enlightenment far surpasses that of humans... Apart from giving some face to the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, which nurtured them for a period of time, and the Demon Court, the original number one power on the continent, most of the territories of other powers have now been occupied by the spirits under the command of the Spirit King..."

Lin Jing was very surprised after hearing this.

Lin Jing was not surprised that the spirits, after being freed from their shackles, could all become members of the strongest group in the Dao.

After all, within the Origin Realm, the geniuses from all the heavens and myriad worlds are often outmatched by the Origin Realm monsters in terms of talent.

However, he did not expect that the first spirit to grow up would not be the original spirits, but the hybrid second-generation spirits.

The Soul King...

To think that he could succeed in the Dao in less than a thousand years, and even defeat a demon emperor with immortal bloodline, Lin Jing was truly curious about this combat power and how he managed to do it.

"This Spirit King is indeed a genius."

"Clearly a monster, a scourge," the Core Formation cultivator said dejectedly. "However, it has nothing to do with me anymore; it's just a pity for the common people..."

"Before the Spirit King inquired about the Dao, most spirits relied on other forces such as the Demon Court to cultivate."

"But with the emergence of the Spirit King, forces like the Demon Court gradually lost control over the spirits. The spirits have become the overlords of the Tianyuan Continent. If this continues, will the Tianyuan Realm still be the same Tianyuan Realm...?"

"And this Spirit King seems not to be satisfied with Tianyuan, but also wants to lead the spirits to the starry sky..."

"It might be due to the celestial bloodline within its lineage, making it yearn for the stars. But one must understand that Tianyuan is currently facing threats from all realms. If these spirits leave Tianyuan and appear in the starry sky, the coordinates of the Tianyuan Realm will soon be discovered, bringing endless disasters to the Tianyuan Realm..."

Lin Jing had just heard that the Spirit King had not allowed the monsters to invade the territory of the ancient kingdom and the demon court, and had no objection to them.

However, upon hearing that the Spirit King was still trying to leave Tianyuan despite his ignorance, his expression immediately softened.

Sure enough, once power gets out of control, it's easy to have reckless thoughts.

Lin Jing had no intention of interfering with the choices of other spirits or expanding his own power; that was the privilege of a "genius." However, Lin Jing would not allow the Spirit King to lead Tianyuan into an abyss of no return.

"You are only at the Core Formation stage, yet you understand these things and have such insights, which is quite unexpected."

"Replying to senior, it's because this junior..." After such a long conversation, perhaps due to his insights before death, this Core Formation cultivator had realized that the person in front of him was not some junior who came to seize the treasure, but seemed to be a senior who had just emerged from seclusion and was not very familiar with the recent changes in the cultivation world.

"I was born into an extraordinary family and was influenced by my family in my childhood. Unfortunately, my family was destroyed because of offending our enemies. I am dull-witted and have only reached the Core Formation stage in my cultivation so far. I have no hope of revenge in this life."

Lin Jing left, and soon after, the old man also breathed his last.
