Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 642 The Secret Path
"Xingyu Sect? I don't know."

"I seem to have heard that at its peak, there was a Celestial King presiding over it, and it was a Celestial King-level lineage."

"It seems to be... a sect that specializes in doing business?"

"However, its glory didn't last long, and it declined afterward, ending up with just a few cats and dogs."

"How have the cultivators of this sect managed to survive until now?"

Lin Jing did not obtain any useful information from the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb.

The Heavenly Court is the absolute hegemon of the ancient immortal realm.

Even at its most glorious period, the sect that was mainly focused on doing business and only had a Celestial King in charge seemed to have no need for the Heavenly Emperor's concubines to pay too much attention to it.

However, these imperial concubines didn't take it seriously, but Lin Jing couldn't afford to ignore it.

That old man who calls himself "This Lord" and "Sect Master of Xingyu Sect" might have been a Celestial Lord at his peak.

Lin Jing planned to meet with the sect leader of Xingyu Sect to see what the other party was really up to.

……

A few days later.

Half of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in China switched to the "Immortal Journey Technique." Although the cultivators who switched to the "Immortal Journey Technique" did not show any side effects, half of the cultivators resolutely refused to switch to this technique.

They didn't believe that anyone would actually go on a killing spree just because they didn't practice some so-called new cultivation method.

"The cultivators of later generations... certainly have a strong backbone."

"There are still so many people who don't take my words seriously."

When the sect leader of Xingyu Sect saw the list handed over by Hu Yousong, he spoke in an unfriendly tone.

"It seems that unless we make an example of them, these people won't understand what rules are."

"The Hermit of Mount Lu...among those who refuse to cultivate, her cultivation level is the highest, is that right?"

As Hu Yousong faced the questioning from the sect leader of Xingyu Sect, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Yes, senior, but..."

"But what."

"However, this hermit of Mount Lu has received guidance from a master and has a powerful background..."

"Expert? What expert? I've never heard you mention him before." The sect master of Xingyu Sect looked at him.

"That master should have already left China, or even ceased to exist in this world, so..."

"What is the opponent's cultivation level?"

“Emptiness and mystery, the realm of emptiness and mystery.”

"To be able to cultivate to the Void Profound realm in this era is quite an achievement. Did you discover some kind of blessed land?" The sect master of Xingyu Sect muttered to himself.

Hu Yousong wasn't lying; he learned from his junior brother that neither the other party nor Lin Jing would stay on Earth for long.

In addition, he hadn't seen Lin Jing for a long time, so he was convinced that Lin Jing and his junior brother had both returned to the world of cultivation.

However, even if they were all present, they would absolutely not be a match for this "immortal".

"Hehe, no matter what her identity is, since she has the highest cultivation level, let's use her to let these people know what the consequences of disobeying are."

The sect leader of Xingyu Sect sneered and asked, "Where is the other party now?"

Oops……

Hu Yousong quickly said, "Senior, why don't I try to persuade them again? I assure you, I will definitely convince them..."

Bang!
Hu Yousong was slapped away by the other party, and his mind was forcibly controlled by the magic power to reveal the location of the hermit of Mount Lu's cultivation.

"It's not your place to tell people what to do."

The porcelain capital.

It has now become a major city for cultivation, and the concentration of spiritual energy here ranks among the top five in the entire country. Lin Jing deserves much of the credit for this.

Inside and outside this city, there is also a group of cultivators who have obtained the "Immortal Movement Technique" but have not practiced it. With the deadline approaching, it would be impossible for them not to feel nervous at all.

However, within China, at least half of the Foundation Establishment cultivators did not switch to other cultivation paths. With so many people, they still harbored a sense of wishful thinking.

boom! ! !
However, a thunderclap shattered all these wishful thinkings. The enormous silver vortex was like a celestial being descending to earth. Although spiritual energy had been reviving for some time, most people still did not understand the power of advanced cultivators, let alone... a true immortal descending to earth.

Within the silver vortex, a divine phantom slowly emerged, gazing majestically upon the city of millions, and all living beings in the surrounding cities, whether mortals or cultivators, humans or demons, felt the approach of death.

Some people were so frightened that they fainted.

"The Hermit of Mount Lu, a Nascent Soul cultivator, defied the immortal decree and deserves to die..."

On a sacred mountain in the suburbs, the Hermit of Mount Lu trembled as he stared at the enormous phantom in the sky, his scalp tingling. He had finally cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, yet he still felt so insignificant.

"senior.."

Faced with the enormous phantom's slowly rising palm, a palm print that seemed poised to erase the entire city, she could only turn to Lin Jing for help.

Because Lin Jing was smiling and saying to them at the time:

No repairs.

He will take action if the other party dares to come.

Although it's unclear why Lin Jing is so confident in confronting an ancient immortal, but...

There's no one else I can trust anymore.

At that moment, millions of people in the entire city felt incredibly close to death, but then a soft voice rang out.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

A celestial mirror was raised in mid-air. In the next instant, dozens or even hundreds of overlapping finger shadows appeared in the mirror, like divine objects capable of supporting heaven and earth, directly crushing towards the illusory figure in the sky.

The opponent was no ordinary person, so Lin Jing did not act rashly. Instead, he used the Immortal Mirror and a large amount of immortal power resources to store countless Dao Immortal King Heavenly Demon Finger techniques to meet the opponent.

The Heavenly Demon Finger, brimming with demonic energy, pierced through the sky, tearing apart the enormous phantom in the heavens, leaving those cultivators who regretted not having practiced the "Immortal Journey Technique" with expressions of disbelief.

puff.

The primordial spirit and dharma body were instantly killed. The old man in the Dao Alliance, far away, also spat out a mouthful of blood in horror, clutched his chest and wailed in pain. This scene made Hu Yousong, who was next to him, show an expression of incomprehension.

"Impossible! A mid-grade immortal artifact, combined with the divine power of an immortal king... How could this be..."

hum.

In the next instant, the Heavenly Demon of the Forest Realm traveled tens of thousands of miles and descended directly upon the Dao Alliance, appearing before this ancient immortal.

"You've disturbed my peaceful cultivation. Give me a reason not to kill you."

"What is the Immortal Journey Technique, and how have you managed to... survive until now?"

The murderous intent to annihilate the entire Heavenly Demon Realm flowed from the Slaughtering Immortal Body. The shadow of mountains of corpses and seas of blood made the old man's pupils shrink. He couldn't understand how such a person could exist in this ancient immortal realm.

It makes no sense, absolutely no sense. When he was revived, he had already explored the ancient immortal realm, and it was impossible for such a powerful figure to exist there.

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life..."

"I am the current sect master of Xingyu Sect. Countless years ago, the Immortal King Ancestor of Xingyu Sect discovered a secret route that could be used to smuggle people from this world to another Immortal Realm. Xingyu Sect once used this route to trade resources between the two worlds and made a steady stream of money. The cultivators of the Immortal Travel Technique were the sacrifices to open the secret route formation."

“Back then, when the spiritual energy declined, I knew my strength wasn’t enough to guarantee a smooth crossing of realms, so I tried to leave through this secret path. But chaos broke out within the secret path, and I was trapped inside, sleeping ever since. I… am willing to work with you to develop the secret path. Please spare my life.”
