Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 632 The Path to Ascension Reopens (End of Volume 6)
Having annihilated five demon generals, is the power of one person... limited?
"Immortal, it seems to be true?"

The Nine-Turn Star Lord looked astonished.

Is this information actually true?

"This..." Chen Shengtian froze on the spot. No, who exactly is this Lin Jing?! Who is he...?

One person defeated five demon generals? What a joke.

Looking at Fairy Wuji, he was at a loss for words.

If it's true, then wouldn't I be in the mortal realm where Bai Jiu is facing certain death?
"Lin Jing, my master has been poisoned by a demon general, and only the essence blood of the demon general can cure him. You..." Li Tianyi regained control of the body and spoke to Lin Jing opposite him.

"Demonic poison, is it?" Lin Jing took out a drop of demonic blood essence he had obtained in battle, but felt it wasn't enough, so he bound it with a piece of holy power crystal and connected it to the bait.

He let the bait be caught and the spatial vortex slowly closed.

They then continued their pursuit of the two fleeing demon generals.

…………

A moment later, the old fisherman who had received the Demon General's blood essence and the Holy Power Crystal successfully detoxified himself. Seeing that Lin Jing was unharmed, he took out the Demon General's blood essence again, and the alliance leaders no longer hesitated.

"Pass the order."

"Summon all cultivators above the Void Profound Realm from all alliances. The counterattack has begun."

The Daoist nun Wanling took a deep breath. The Immortal Cultivation Alliance had persevered for so many years and had finally waited for the "Child of Destiny" in the lower realm. Now, the Demon General of the Forest Realm would be destroyed, and the Heavenly Demon Sect would be rendered powerless.

The Heavenly Demon cultivators scattered across various star fields will only be able to wipe out the Demon Race in the short term!

fairyland.

After failing to attack Lin Jing, the demon master coldly glanced in one direction.

"Eastern Celestial Emperor".

"The chosen one who appeared in the lower realm seems to be your doing."

The figure of the Eastern Emperor of Immortals materialized outside the Heavenly Demon Sect. At this moment, the Demon Lord also slowly stepped out.

"Teacher, you may leave now."

The Demon Lord looked at the human Immortal Emperor and said, "The ascension channels between the Immortal Realm and the lower realms are severed. If you wish to obtain the Mandate of Heaven, the only way is through the Ancient Immortal Realm. As the last ascendant from Earth, you underestimate your understanding of the Ancient Immortal Realm."

The Demon Lord was not angry at the thwarted plan in the lower realm, and remained remarkably calm.

Seeing this, the Eastern Emperor couldn't understand why the other party was so calm. His plan, which had been in the works for countless years, had failed at the last moment. Did the Demon Lord not care at all?

"No delivery."

A moment later, the Demon Lord waved his sleeve, and the afterimage of the Eastern Emperor Immortal vanished.

The Demonic Sect sealed off the mountain, and at the same time, various immortal sects were shocked to discover that the path to ascension, which had been blocked for countless years by the Demon Lord using the Heavenly Treasure... seemed to have been reopened!
"Your Majesty, why is this?" Inside the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Demon Master, though he had guesses, still asked the Demon Lord for the reason.

"Indeed, our clan was outmaneuvered in this game. We did not expect the Ancient Immortal Realm to revive at this time, and even give birth to a destiny, allowing the Eastern Emperor to cultivate a chosen one."

"Those destined by Heaven are in the mortal realm. No matter how much resources our clan invests in the mortal realm, it will only benefit them."

"If the ascension passage remains closed, that chosen one will continue to guard the lower realm. With his physique, even without ascending to the immortal realm, his lifespan is comparable to that of a true immortal. The great plan for the revival of the demon race cannot be halted for too long because of one person." "Conversely, if the ascension passage is reopened, with such talent and potential, do you think he would choose to continue guarding the lower realm, or would he be unable to resist...ascending to the immortal realm?"

"No matter how talented and powerful he is in the lower realm, once he reaches the immortal realm, if he doesn't become an immortal emperor, he's just an ant. Even if he does become an immortal emperor, he's no match for the demons who wield the supreme treasures of the heavens."

"At the same time, the initiative to open and close the ascension passage is still in the hands of our clan. It is much simpler to close the ascension passage after he ascends than to kill him in the lower realm at all costs."

"Of course...we hope he can ascend, but in order to keep him in the lower realm and prevent our sect from making a comeback, other forces will probably not let him ascend easily. They might even prevent him from ascending and force him to stay in the lower realm to fight against our clan."

"Even if this person is given countless resources, how many cultivators would not yearn for ascension? Besides... once the ascension passage opens, other forces can certainly make contact with the lower realm, but similarly, my demon race can also send immortals down to the mortal world. It is difficult to kill this chosen one, but it is much easier to trick him into entering the ascension passage."

"At that time, other forces may prevent him from ascending, but my Demonic Sect can help him ascend, join the Demon Clan, and prove himself as an Immortal Emperor. There is no hostile relationship between us, and our interests cannot resolve this conflict."

The magician nodded; indeed, this was the only way now.

At the same time, even if Lin Jing does not ascend, those close to Lin Jing will also not ascend.
At that point, he won't have a say in anything anymore.

Perhaps… He looked at the Demon Lord and said, “At the same time, the opening of the ascension passage will make it more convenient for our clan’s experts to descend to the mortal realm and go to the Ancient Immortal Realm to retrieve the clan’s guardian demonic artifact and the remains of our ancestor!”

The Demon Lord nodded: "That's right. If we can find the ancestor's remains and the clan's demonic artifact, it will be a huge boost to our Demonic Sect. Although it's not as great as refining the entire lower realm, we can only prioritize the lesser of two evils for now."

…………

"This is... the ascension passage?"

Lin Jing, who was chasing the two fleeing demon generals, suddenly realized that he was faintly being summoned by the immortal realm, and the power of ascension was swirling around his body. He immediately suppressed it and understood that the demonic sect must be trying to use this method to transfer him away from the lower realm.

Once you ascend to the Immortal Realm, it becomes difficult to return.

Without him, as long as the Heavenly Demon Sect closes the ascension channel again, the situation in the lower realm will eventually return to what it was before.

"The allure of ascension?" Lin Jing took a deep breath.

"We cannot allow him to ascend." Meanwhile, in the Immortal Realm, after the explanation from the Eastern Emperor, many forces hostile to the Demon Race finally understood the situation in the Lower Realm. It was the chosen one secretly cultivated by the Eastern Emperor who had dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Race's forces in the Lower Realm.

This forced the Demon Lord to open the ascension passage, hoping to summon this variable to the Immortal Realm.

Several Immortal Emperors immediately concluded that the lower realm could not be without Lin Jing, and they all expressed to the Eastern Emperor their desire not to allow Lin Jing to ascend.

"Since this person was trained by you, he should obey your orders, right?" The Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Mountain asked the Eastern Emperor.

“If he ascends to heaven, the lower realm will surely return to its previous state,” the Supreme Immortal Emperor said.

"Donghuang, what do you think?"

"I will do my best." The Eastern Emperor shook his head. Although Lin Jing was the chosen one he had planned and schemed to become, he had only taken the opportunity to send a wisp of immortal spirit into the lower realm after the ascension passage was closed. Once the mission was completed, the immortal spirit completely dissipated. He did not know much about Lin Jing, and could even say he knew nothing about him.

He wasn't sure if Lin Jing was willing to dedicate his life to fighting the demons, forever imprisoning himself in the lower realm and becoming a supreme being who could never ascend...
