Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 645 A blessing in disguise
"This is how to do?"

"We were too hasty. We should have waited until the spiritual energy on Earth was more concentrated before letting him possess the Five-Colored Immortal Stone."

"Without sufficient nutrition, the celestial fetus cannot develop normally. He doesn't know how long he will sleep in the celestial stone before he is born."

"One year, two years, ten years, a hundred years... all are possible. It mainly depends on when the Earth can return to its previous level."

"But isn't this a good thing? Because of this, the ancient immortal realm is now unable to support the immortal realm, so there's no need to fear the descent of demon immortals. If it's not an immortal who descends, the Gu worms he left there should be able to solve the problem."

The emperor and his concubines fell silent for a moment. They hadn't thought much of it and hadn't expected the five-colored immortal stone to be so ferocious.

"Am I... having a difficult childbirth?"

Although not yet complete, Lin Jing has begun to regain consciousness, but he is still trapped inside the Imperial Embryo Stone, absorbing the nutrients needed for his body to fully develop.

"...It was a really difficult birth."

The avatar sighed and quickly analyzed the current situation. He really wanted the imperial concubines to save him.

With so many wonderful things in the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, isn't there anything that can replace the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and provide him with some nourishment?

For example, you could place him in the place where the Demon Ancestor is sealed, so he can absorb a little bit of the Demon Ancestor's power.

However, Lin Jing only thought about it. The imperial concubines would definitely not dare to do such a thing. If the Demon Ancestor's power and consciousness were to turn around and possess him, his avatar would probably not be able to defeat the Demon Ancestor.

"Moreover, the most important thing now is that if the spiritual energy outside doesn't return to its previous level, even if I go out, I will be a 'premature baby.' Even if I am born with a celestial body, the external environment will not be able to provide enough nutrients for the celestial realm to survive. I may very well end up dying young. Even worse, I might be born malnourished and fail to unleash the full potential of the imperial fetus. At the time of my birth, I will not be able to reach the celestial realm, but will only be below the celestial realm."

"Neither outcome is acceptable."

"In that case, we can only wait."

"and……"

An unexpected discovery by the avatar: although he is currently like an unformed embryo, because he has already developed consciousness and possesses many memories about cultivation, it seems that... even without being born, he can still cultivate within this Imperial Embryo Mother Stone.

The misty environment within the Imperial Embryo Stone is like a chaotic void containing countless great principles, making it exceptionally mysterious.

Lin Jing was instantly captivated by it, as if he were adrift in the sea of ​​chaos and the sea of ​​the Great Dao.

"The Imperial Embryo Mother Stone is truly miraculous. It is said that the creatures conceived by the Imperial Embryo Mother Stone are not only of different races, but also have completely different racial supernatural abilities and physical constitutions."

"Perhaps, in my current state, I can try... to shape the race and talents of my new body within this Imperial Embryo Stone."

The avatar took a deep breath and felt it was entirely feasible. The complex interior of the mother stone was filled with the power of countless paths, each one seemingly within reach, yet each one also felt incredibly distant.

Lin Jing traversed the Great Dao of Fire, the Great Dao of Space, the Great Dao of Time... with utmost focus... searching for the unique path that belonged only to himself, to his true self, that had been the path he had cultivated all along his entire cultivation journey.

"Royal Way."

"I want a new body, born from the Imperial Mother Stone, that is compatible with the Dao of Imperial Control and can awaken the innate divine powers of the Dao of Imperial Control!"

"In this way, when the avatar merges with the original body in the future, perhaps..."

Within this Imperial Mother Stone, Lin Jing lost track of time, single-mindedly pursuing the power he needed.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Jing finally found the race most suitable for the Path of Imperial Control. He didn't know whether to feel regret or joy, because the answer given by the Imperial Embryo Stone seemed to be the human race.

However, Lin Jing also understood that this Dao of Control was no longer just the Dao of Controlling Beasts, but the Dao of Controlling all things in heaven and earth, all laws and paths. Only in this way could it be worthy of being the Dao of a potential Immortal Emperor.

…………

at the same time.

The Immortal Realm, the Land of Demons.

The Demon Lord has already realized that the ancient immortal realm, which he painstakingly restored to a meager level of the immortal realm, is experiencing a decline in spiritual energy... once again.

And the timing was precisely when the Demonic Cult sent three demonic sons, possessing royal blood and descendants containing his bloodline, to Earth.

Without much thought, the Demon Lord could understand that under these circumstances, these three guys would very likely become victims of the decline of Earth's spiritual energy.

"who is it."

Although he had anticipated that finding the ancestral remains and the clan's protective artifact would not be easy, the fact that the mysterious force had repeatedly thwarted their plans before they even began still puzzled the Demon Lord.

"The Eastern Emperor, perhaps, is the only one capable of such a thing."

"Hehe, but how many times can you actually do that?"

The Demon Lord unleashed a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao, a Mystic Pearl... The spiritual energy that allowed the ancient immortal realm to recover so rapidly was transferred from the lower realm by him using this supreme treasure. In other words, as the ancient immortal realm restored its former power, the spiritual energy of the lower realm was waning.

However, since the power of the immortal realm has not recovered much, and the lower realm is too vast, the cultivators in the lower realm have not yet noticed anything.

The Demon Lord chose to continue absorbing the spiritual energy of the lower realm and supplying it to the Ancient Immortal Realm. In doing so, he was actually weakening the Forest Realm. If the lower realm also entered a period of spiritual energy decline and entered the Dharma-ending Age, then... the lifespan of the Forest Realm would also be affected.

"You wasted my Heavenly Dao power, Eastern Demon Emperor. I will remember this grudge."

…………

"The speed of spiritual energy recovery... is accelerating."

Soon after, the emperors and concubines discovered that the celestial energy of the earth, after being absorbed by the Imperial Mother Stone, began to recover rapidly.

In that case, it won't be long before Lin Jing is able to be reborn.

Indeed, after the Earth's spiritual energy accelerated its recovery once again, one day, the Imperial Embryo Mother Stone, which had been possessed by Lin Jing, exploded like a bolt from the blue, and a ball of light appeared inside.

Within the ball of light, a very small figure appeared—a fair-skinned and tender baby.

Although the baby was small, its eyes were bright and piercing, and its body contained extremely powerful strength. In terms of appearance, it did resemble Lin Jing somewhat.

"big big big."

Lin Jing channeled his immortal power, forcibly allowing the new body to grow. After all, he couldn't just drag an infant around. Soon, the infant grew into a toddler, then a teenager... and his appearance became more and more like Lin Jing's.

"It seems they succeeded." The consciousnesses of the imperial concubines looked at the naked and grown Lin Jing and sensed the terrifying power contained within him!
"I've acquired a powerful racial divine ability. It seems my avatar will also have to follow the path of imperial control." Lin Jing put on his clothes and spoke slowly. It was a blessing in disguise. He actually felt that his avatar's talent for imperial control was now superior to that of his original self.
