Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 585 Ascension Ceremony
Lin Jing did not immediately go to find the Spirit King. The description given by a Core Formation cultivator only gave Lin Jing a general understanding of the current situation.

But if you want to understand this spirit more fully, you need to find a key figure.

Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor has experience fighting her, and from her, he can learn more details.

Since cultivating an immortal bloodline through the top-grade immortal source gifted by Lin Jing, the Demon Emperor can be said to be completely invincible in the Tianyuan Realm.

But even the Demon Emperor himself could not have imagined that in less than a thousand years, a ghostly thing that started cultivating from scratch would surpass him.

After being defeated, the Demon Emperor secluded himself in the Demon Court for many years.

"Who?!"

Until Lin Jing forcibly broke in... interrupting the Demon Emperor's arduous cultivation.

Upon seeing the figure appear not far away, the tiger-headed and chubby-faced Demon Emperor suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Jing with some surprise.

Three hundred years ago, Lin Jing gave a brief explanation and left the Origin Realm, causing Lin Jing to be out of contact for three hundred years.

The explanation left by Lin Jing at the time was that exploring an ancient ruin might take a long time to come out.

It has indeed been a long time...

"Lin Jing—" Upon seeing Lin Jing, the Demon Emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, acted as if he were seeing a relative. Even though he was the noble ruler of the Tianyuan Demon Clan, a look of grievance filled his eyes.

She's suffering so much.

He finally became the strongest in the open in Tianyuan, but as a result, his juniors used him as a target to establish their authority.

"Your Majesty, Demon Emperor," Lin Jing chuckled, "I heard that you were defeated by a spirit that was less than a thousand years old?"

The Demon Emperor clenched his fist and said, "You mean the Spirit King? That guy's situation is a bit special. He awakened an outrageous rare beast divine power... I've never seen such a heaven-defying technique before."

Rare Beast's Supernatural Powers!
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing understood what was going on.

The combined potential essence of the Underworld Goddess and the Meteor Fairy—Lin Jing still finds it somewhat hard to comprehend how such a terrifying growth rate could be achieved solely through this.

However, if the other party has inherited a powerful rare beast's divine ability, then it's possible.

And judging from the Demon Emperor's level of approval... could it be...?

Like the leaf rat.

Is it a rare beast that has awakened "Celestial King-level" divine abilities?
“I heard that the other party wants to leave the Starlight Maze Formation? Although he is a promising talent, if he insists on violating the rules of Tianyuan, then he cannot be allowed to live,” Lin Jing said.

"But compared to that, so much time has passed, and the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor..."

"We have news about the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor," the Demon Emperor said. "The Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor fought a great battle with Sword Taixu. Sword Taixu was half-dead and fled to recuperate. After the battle, the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor gained some insights and found a place to go into seclusion to organize his gains, which lasted for hundreds of years."

"After the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor emerged from seclusion, the Heavenly Cry Realm completely fell and became the territory of the Heavenly Demon Realm. Fortunately, the Heavenly Cry Realm had foreseen this day hundreds of years ago, and its core cultivators had already moved to the Pangu Continent."

"After that, the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor did not come to the Heavenly Origin Realm, but returned directly to the Heavenly Demon Realm. And there are rumors that the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor is now considered the number one female powerhouse in the Heavenly Demon Realm!"

"After defeating the alliance's vice leader, he's made another breakthrough?" Lin Jing frowned. This guy...

Fortunately, the other party kept its promise and did not attack Tianyuan within a thousand years.

That's something to be admired. To express his admiration, Lin Jing decided to make sure that the Demon Emperor Tianchou died a quick and painless death.

"You're being esoteric."

After a moment, noticing that Lin Jing had already broken through to the Void Profound Realm, the Demon Emperor pondered deeply: "So now, are you confident in defeating the Heavenly Hatred Demon Emperor? Eight hundred years in the Origin Realm should have allowed you to accumulate a lot of resources, right?"

"If you are not confident, you can form a contract with me. Although it may not be of great help, it can at least help you deal with the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor."

"Hmm?" Lin Jing looked at the Demon Emperor, finding it hard to believe that these were the words spoken by the Demon Emperor.

The other party actually wants to form a contract with me?
In the past, I would have complied.

But now, I have a better option.

"Of course, the Spirit King might be a better choice; its talent is clearly stronger," the Demon Emperor said, pursing his lips.

"Besides that, there's that old pine tree in your territory..." The Demon Emperor remembered the Demon Pine. This old pine tree sat firmly on its fishing platform, never venturing out of seclusion no matter how the outside world changed. It only secretly observed the battle when she and the Spirit King were fighting.

Later, the Demon Emperor tried to investigate the origins of this old pine tree, but found nothing.

It only received a promise from the other party: if the Spirit King insists on breaking through the boundary, it will help to stop him.

In short, Mo Song gave her the feeling that his strength was not much weaker than hers.

Lin Jing was not surprised by this. After all, Senior Mo Song had possessed the Refining Heaven Immortal Body. With its demonic cultivation, its development must be no less than that of the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor, and its strength must already be extraordinary. However, with such a powerful immortal body, it has never shown itself on the continent. Lin Jing admired this composure. As expected of Senior Mo Song, he wondered what it was planning in secret.

"Your Majesty, transfer your memories of the battle with the Spirit King to me."

"Are you going to meet that Spirit King?"

"Inviting the spirits from the Origin Realm to Tianyuan is not to let them lord it over and seize Tianyuan's resources. The Spirit King's parents are my subordinate and my ally, respectively. I'm giving them face. As long as these spirits can realize that the price they paid for their 'freedom' was to help Tianyuan Realm defend against external enemies, then everything they've done so far can be forgiven."

"Then you can wait a little longer."

The Demon Emperor said, "This guy had been planning to leave the Starry Sky Maze Formation and leave Tianyuan, but he was blocked by the Tianyuan native Daoist Alliance. Although he was strong at the time, he could not face so many opponents at the same time. After all, not only did the Tianyuan native experts oppose him, but even some monsters did not support leaving Tianyuan."

"However, some time ago, the Spirit King publicly invited various forces on the Tianyuan Continent to witness its 'Ascension Tribulation,' which suggests that he is confident that his strength has reached a level that can convince the entire continent."

"So, its cultivation level has reached the perfection of the Dao Inquiry stage." Lin Jing was quite envious of this cultivation speed, but he could also achieve such a speed of progress soon. With the blessing of destiny and the cultivation golden core accumulated by the dragon carp, he was about to make a breakthrough in his cultivation.

"That's good. At that time, all the spirits and monsters in the world should be there, so we won't have to notify them one by one."

"We'll see who wants to come along. I can give them the opportunity to join forces and attack... the Blood Demon Legion of the Heavenly Demon Realm."

"Approximately how long later?"

Nineteen months later.

"Alright, then I'll use this time to improve my cultivation level as well."

But before that.

Lin Jing needs to return to his lair to hatch that Immortal Lord-level pet egg. Spirit King, Demon Emperor, Demon Pine... they are not his first choice.

This pet egg, hatched from his own immortal body, should be the strongest in terms of potential. However, after so many years, Lin Jingzhen is worried that it might be a dead egg.
