Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 634 Jumping Out of the Chessboard
The Eastern Celestial Emperor smiled.

"The demons have reopened the ascension passage. As an Immortal Emperor, although it is difficult to interfere with the lower realm with magic power, it is still easy to project a wisp of consciousness."

"Young friend, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. It's all thanks to your annihilation of the lower realm demons that the demon race was forced to reopen the ascension passage. However, you should understand the demon race's intentions in reopening the ascension passage, right?"

Lin Jing nodded.

"They just want to get me to the celestial realm so that there will be no obstacle in the mortal world."

“That’s right,” said the Eastern Emperor. “So I would like to ask you, young friend, to give up ascension and remain in the mortal realm forever. Whenever any demons attempt to invade the mortal realm, you must completely eliminate them.”

Lin Jing replied, "Before coming to the cultivation world, I was already seriously ill. It was the Emperor who gave me a second life. I have no way to repay this kindness. I am willing to guard the lower realm forever. However, I have a request."

"You said."

"I can guard the lower realm without any problem, but my relatives and friends, my... pet beasts..." Lin Jing looked at the pet beasts in his primordial spirit space who were sleeping and recuperating after the battle, and said, "I can guard the lower realm, but they do not have destiny, immortal bodies, or immortal bodies. Their lifespan is less than one-tenth of mine. Sooner or later, they will pass away before me."

"Such talent, it's a pity he died in the lower realm."

"I hope that if my relatives and friends ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, I can ensure their safety there, and at the very least... that they will not be affected by my feud with the Demon Clan."

"If my pet beasts choose to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, I can remain in the mortal realm, but I cannot hinder their talents. As for those among them who do not choose to ascend to the Immortal Realm, I hope there is a way to obtain the same lifespan as me."

"Without their company, I worry that I...would go crazy during these long years."

"Your request is perfectly reasonable." The Eastern Emperor nodded and said, "Is that all? Is this your only request?"

Lin Jing shook his head: "Besides that, I think there is another reason why the Demon Clan opened the ascension channel."

The Eastern Emperor Immortal Emperor responded with an "Oh?"

“Ancient Immortal Realm, Earth.” Lin Jing said, “During the extermination of the Demon General, I discovered that one of the four foreign Immortal Emperors who once joined forces to attack the ancient Heavenly Court was the ancestor of the Demon Race. With the revival of spiritual energy on Earth, the Demon Race has long been eyeing Earth, intending to retrieve their clan's demonic artifact from the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb.”

"Perhaps the demons are using this opportunity to shift their focus to retrieving their clan's magical artifact. If the demons succeed, they will be even more difficult to deal with. My role as a junior guarding the lower realm is ultimately just a temporary solution. Only by completely annihilating the demons can we ensure peace between the two realms. If the demons are allowed to retrieve their clan's magical artifact, then... annihilating the demons will undoubtedly be even more difficult."

As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, the Eastern Emperor of the Immortal Realm immediately took it seriously. He never expected that the Demon Clan would extend their reach to Earth.

"What are your thoughts?" he asked Lin Jing.

Lin Jing replied, "Earth is still in the stage of spiritual energy recovery, and the Heavenly Dao is not yet complete. It can only support cultivators below the Immortal Realm. I can still travel between the two realms and kill all enemies who have ulterior motives against Earth."

"but……"

"But once Earth returns to its original state as the ancient immortal realm, it will become the new 'immortal realm'!"

“Once a new immortal realm with complete rules is established, it will be impossible to travel freely. At that time, if I want to guard the lower realm, I will not be able to ascend to the ‘Ancient Immortal Realm.’ If I want to protect the Heavenly Emperor’s Tomb, I will need to ascend to the Ancient Immortal Realm and reach the True Immortal Realm. Then it will be difficult for me to return to the lower realm to stop the demon race.”

"Since the Demon Clan, possessing the 'Heavenly Treasure,' can easily block the ascension passage, it's not impossible for them to send their immortals to Earth and prevent other forces' immortals from going there. Earth might then become Demon Clan territory." "Indeed, the Demon Clan might abandon the cultivation world and plot against the Ancient Immortal Realm." The Eastern Emperor nodded. The Demon Clan had been laying the groundwork in the lower realm for countless years, and many forces in the Immortal Realm subconsciously believed that the Demon Clan would never abandon the lower realm.

However, an ancient immortal realm that is about to be revived is also a treasure trove, and the demon race may very well covet it.

The reopening of the ascension passage makes it easier for the demon race to take over the ancient immortal realm.

As Lin Jing said, the Heavenly Treasure in the Demon Lord's possession does indeed have a certain degree of control over the realm. For True Immortals and Immortal Lords of other forces who want to go to Earth, it is certainly not as easy and convenient as for the Demon Clan's powerful figures.

At that time, the situation in the cultivation world might be replicated in the ancient immortal world.

There is only one Linjing.

Unable to simultaneously manage both the cultivation world and the ancient immortal world...

Lin Jing clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This junior has a plan."

"As we all know, an incarnation with an incomplete destiny cannot separate from its original body and ascend to the immortal realm on its own."

"However, the Ancient Immortal Realm is now in a damaged state, quite different from the complete Immortal Realm. My avatar and my true self are located in the Lower Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm respectively, and will not be affected."

"Perhaps before the Ancient Immortal Realm is fully restored, I can have my avatar remain there to guard it until it is completely restored."

"Ultimately, let the avatar separate from the main body and become an immortal in the ancient immortal realm. In this way, it will not affect the main body's guarding of the lower realm, and there will be enough time for the avatar to lay out plans and accumulate strength in the ancient immortal realm to resist the demon race that may invade Earth in the future."

"Of course, an avatar is not blessed by destiny and is an 'incomplete body' with limited potential. If the demon race really sends an immortal lord or even an unparalleled immortal king to Earth, the avatar alone may not be able to resist."

"Therefore, for the safety of the Ancient Immortal Realm and to stop the ambitions of the Demon Race, I hope... that the Immortal Realm can provide support to the younger generation and give my avatar enough resources, at least enough to make him an unparalleled Immortal King, so that he can grow into an Immortal King in the Ancient Immortal Realm and annihilate all enemies."

Lin Jing knew that the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm would definitely want him to stay in the lower realm, and he had no power to refuse. Since that was the case, he might as well take this opportunity to ask the Immortal Realm for enough resources.

Then, with the help of the ancient immortal world Earth, one can transform into an immortal... or even become an immortal emperor.

Only by stepping out of this lower realm chessboard can one have the opportunity to become a player like the Demon Lord and the Eastern Emperor in the future.

Whether it's transforming into an ancient immortal realm or having a pet beast ascend to immortality.

If the true self, avatar, and pet beast all remain in the lower realm, then one can truly see the end of one's life, destined to be nothing more than pawns in the battle between the immortal emperors and the demon race.

Of course, the idea of ​​making an avatar independent of the original body, transcending several major realms, and becoming an Immortal Emperor is something Lin Jing has never experienced before. He is only gambling on it. Therefore, he needs to ask the Immortal Realm for enough resources. Relying solely on the opportunities of the Ancient Immortal Realm is not enough!
The Eastern Emperor pondered for a long time before saying, "This plan is feasible."

He didn't care what Lin Jing thought; as long as they could indeed resist the demons, that was enough.

"What do you want? Just say the word, and we'll do our best to fulfill your request."
