Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 647 Searching for the Path to Ascension

"already dead."

"He really is dead..."

"Senior...you haven't left?" Hu Yousong asked in surprise.

After he woke up, he had already contacted the Hermit of Lushan, but the Hermit of Lushan said he knew nothing and that everything would be discussed when Lin Jing returned.

Since Lin Jing slapped that ancient immortal to death, Hu Yousong naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"If you leave, can you never come back?" Lin Jing smiled. "Someday in the future, your junior brother might come back."

If ascending to Earth could lead to immortality, Lin Jing believed that the Taoist priest would definitely choose Earth rather than the current Immortal Realm.

"Oh, oh." Hu Yousong quickly bowed deeply: "Thank you for your help, senior. Otherwise, who knows what kind of chaos that old man would have caused in the cultivation world."

"May I ask, senior, what problems can you see in the 'Immortal Movement Technique' passed down by that person?"

The most troublesome problem for Hu Yousong now is the turmoil caused by the fact that half of the cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage have switched to cultivating the "Immortal Journey Technique".

If it weren't for the sudden decline in spiritual energy some time ago, he suspected that this group of people's cultivation levels would soon break through to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, becoming increasingly uncontrollable and impossible to manage. Fortunately, he himself had also switched to cultivation and had the treasures left by his junior brother, so he wouldn't be surpassed by others. Otherwise, he would really be worried about not being able to control the cultivation world.

Once he started practicing this cultivation method, he dared not give it up and hesitated to switch to another method for a long time, fearing that his cultivation level would fall behind others.

This "Immortal Cultivation Technique" has an absurdly fast cultivation speed, just like a demonic technique!
“The practitioners of this Immortal Journey Technique are sacrifices to something. Once they reach mastery, they will all be harvested,” Lin Jing said.

Hu Yousong's vision went black.

"However, I have already killed that immortal, so there is no need to worry about anyone forcing you to become sacrifices. While your cultivation is still low, even if you waste a little time, there is still a way back. You can switch back to your original cultivation method."

"Of course, if you are willing to continue cultivating the Immortal Journey Technique, there will be no major consequences. However, the highest you can cultivate in your lifetime is only to the Void Profound stage."

"If this were the Earth of the past, this level would indeed be quite good, but going forward... the changes on Earth will only become greater and greater. It may be difficult for everyone to become an immortal, but for cultivators with certain talents, the Void Profound Realm will certainly not be the end. Therefore, you need to think carefully about your future."

"Junior...understands." Hu Yousong nodded immediately upon hearing this. Lin Jing had already explained the pros and cons very clearly.

"In that case, if a similar situation occurs, you can crush this talisman. If I can sense it, I will help resolve it." Lin Jing didn't say much about other matters. Given the current level of other cultivators on Earth, even if they knew about the Demon Clan, they couldn't help at all.

"Respectfully seeing off our senior—"

Lin Jing left. He sensed that the spiritual energy on Earth was still increasing at an alarming rate. Therefore, he had to cultivate as soon as possible. If he was unable to cultivate to the level of an Immortal Lord by the time Earth was able to support the arrival of an Immortal Lord, then... he might not be able to protect himself.

"What methods did the Demon Race use to accelerate the revival of spiritual energy in the Ancient Immortal Realm...?"

"This spiritual energy recovery speed is not normal. The imperial concubines also said that this spiritual energy must come from outside the realm... The Immortal Realm? Even if the Demon Lord possesses the Heavenly Dao Treasure, he cannot be an enemy of the entire Immortal Realm at the same time. Of course, no Immortal Emperor lineage is willing to really fight the Demon Race to the death."

"In short, the Demon Lord wants to shake the foundation of the current Immortal Realm to create another ancient Immortal Realm, but that's difficult to do. So, could this spiritual energy be something he absorbed from the lower realm through a Heavenly Treasure..." The avatar looked up at the sky. If that's the case, there might be trouble in the Tianyuan Realm.

…………

The lower realm, Tianyuan.

In order to welcome the Heavenly Demon Sect, Tianyuan used the Golden Bell brought back by the Old Demon Pine, which opened the Golden Age of Tianyuan Realm. At the cost of squeezing out the potential of the entire realm, it initiated a ten-thousand-year surge of spiritual energy.

During this period, Tianyuan Realm will become the most suitable place for cultivation, with extraordinary fortune. However, the price will be that after ten thousand years, Tianyuan will enter the Dharma-ending Age and will no longer be suitable for cultivation.

Theoretically, there are still thousands of years until this deadline, but at this stage, some people have already sensed that the Golden Age... seems to be declining.

Not only in the Tianyuan Realm, but many cultivation realms are showing signs of declining spiritual energy. Although it is not yet obvious, it is indeed happening. If it were only one realm, it might not be a big deal, but the fact that many cultivation realms are experiencing this situation has immediately made the Cultivation Alliance take it very seriously. Some immortals who take turns going down to the realm to guard the area have also quickly reported this information to the Immortal Realm.

"So that's how it is. The Demon Lord is using the Heavenly Treasure to transfer spiritual energy from the lower realm to the Ancient Immortal Realm, accelerating its revival... For the Demon Clan's core forces to enter an Ancient Immortal Realm that has not yet been revived, it is too difficult. Sending weaker forces would be pointless; at most, they could only gather intelligence."

"After all, even if a cultivator who is too weak goes there, it would be absolutely impossible for him to easily take away the Demon Ancestor's remains and the clan's demonic artifact."

"However, this means that the decline of the lower realm may not have much impact on cultivators of lower realms, but it will have a great impact on 'long-lived beings' like me who exist in the lower realm."

Lin Jing browsed through the secret letter from the Eastern Emperor and shook his head. The Eastern Emperor said that he would find a way to restrain the Demon Lord, but he didn't know how long it would take.

He certainly doesn't care. No matter how much the lower realm changes, he will still be the one who lives the longest. It's just that other cultivators who seek the Dao might be more sensitive to such changes.

If this continues and is not stopped soon, the cultivation levels and lifespans of these cultivators may be affected.

"It seems that in order to avoid this situation, Tianyuan... no, the entire lower realm, will have to undergo a second wave of ascensions."

Several days later, many old friends came to visit Lin Jing and expressed their desire to ascend. Many people, even those who had cultivated to the perfection of the Dao Inquiry, did not ascend for a long time. Many believed that their foundation was still insufficient. Rather than ascending rashly, they preferred to stay in the lower realm and hone themselves as long as their lifespan allowed, so that they could withstand the baptism of stronger immortal power.

But now, if the lower realm is no longer suitable for cultivation, it would be better to ascend to the upper realm sooner rather than later.

"However, the decline of the lower realm also indicates that the ancient immortal realm on Earth has recovered to a certain level, and may already be able to ascend normally."

"Could this lead to some cultivators seeking enlightenment... flying directly to the wrong immortal realm instead of reaching their intended destination, and ascending to this newly revived Earth instead? Although the ascension channels in the lower realms have long been altered, accidents are still inevitable."

"Furthermore, given the Demon Lord's actions, he must have a grand plan for Earth. I must find a stable path to ascend to the Ancient Immortal Realm so that some powerful individuals can choose to ascend there to help their avatars."

Lin Jing left Tianyuan Realm to search for a guinea pig who could attempt to ascend to Earth. If nothing unexpected happened, he felt that Hu Yousong's junior brother was the most suitable candidate, since they were from the same hometown.

However, when Lin Jing arrived at the cultivation world where the other party was from his memory, he was immediately dumbfounded.

When did the other person die?
