Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 654 Dual Contracts
"Even in the dilapidated Immortal Realm, the cultivation environment is indeed much better than in the lower realms."

"Thanks to the cultivation environment, my current strength has probably surpassed that of my original self by a lot."

Looking at the group of pet beasts that came to his aid, the avatar couldn't help but laugh.

The pets looked at each other in bewilderment.

Maybe?
Although Lin Jing's current realm has reached the fourteenth step of the Dao Inquiry Realm, it is still incomparable to the Avatar Realm.

The Daoist path has four stages: early, middle, late, and perfect. Reaching perfection allows one to summon the Ascension Tribulation and enter the Ascension Realm.

During the period when the ascension passage was closed, some cultivators preferred to use the number of steps taken to divide the stages of the Dao Inquiry phase.

The initial stage corresponds to the first step, the perfect stage corresponds to the fourth step, and the stage of seeking the Dao after passing the Ascension Tribulation is called the fifth step of the Dao Seeking Realm, which is also the normal end point of the Dao Seeking Realm.

With each of these five steps, one's own path becomes stronger and more indestructible.

From this point on, the only way to undergo another transformation is to ascend to immortality and sense the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm through one's own Dao.

However, in the lower realm, the forest realm certainly does not have this condition.

In the lower realms, the highest level of cultivation allowed by the Heavenly Dao is the Dao Inquiry Realm.

Therefore, he had no choice but to abandon the cultivation method of sensing the Heavenly Dao and continue to strengthen and cultivate his own Dao.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Jing would definitely find it difficult to continue cultivating due to the constraints of the world's rules. However, the Limitless Immortal Body is an exception.

Over the past few thousand years, Lin Jing has successfully taken the sixth and seventh steps in the Dao Seeking Realm...

The way he confirmed that he had made another breakthrough was by looking at the blood of the contract.

Starting from the sixth step, each additional step adds another layer of blood from the contract.

By step seven, two more drops had accumulated, meaning that two more pet beasts could be contracted.

At this moment, even if Lin Jing didn't use his immortal primordial spirit to generate immortal power, but only used ordinary true essence, the quality of his true essence was in no way inferior to immortal power.

Since the true body cultivates the Way of Contract, the true essence generated by this Beast Taming Technique strengthens the pet beasts several times more than before.

And this is not over yet.

The initial exploration is often the most difficult and time-consuming.

Having found his own path for cultivation in the lower realms, Lin Jing's foundation was fully unleashed the moment his pets ascended to the Ancient Immortal Realm Earth and broke through to the True Immortal Realm.

Lin Jing's cultivation level continued to rise endlessly as his seven contracted pet beasts ascended, and he broke through seven more realms in succession.

He reached the incredible fourteenth step of the Dao Inquiry, which is equivalent to having nine extra drops of Contract Blood compared to before.

Of course, since there were no enemies in the lower realm, and Lin Jing had no intention of raising new pet beasts, he could use the Heavenly Mandate to repel all enemies. Therefore, he did not use a single drop of the blood of the contract.

"I see." The avatar smiled upon hearing the descriptions from the pets.

He is Lin Jing, and Lin Jing is him. Therefore, although they are separated by two realms and he has no cultivation experience of the original body, he instantly knew the original body's thoughts.

"He won't be contracting any new pets."

"Because what he wants is to fuse every drop of contract blood he cultivates afterward into a single drop, giving birth to the ultimate power of the contract!"

"As for what it's used for in the contract..."

The incarnation is, of course, very clear.

What the Demon Lord is thinking about, that's what I'm thinking about too.

However, the rules of the lower realm are quite complete compared to Earth. He was able to contract with the fragments of the Heavenly Dao by chance. On his own side, it would probably not be so easy for him to do what even the Demon Lord could not do.

But it doesn't matter... With him here, once he cultivates to become an Immortal Emperor, he can help me then.

"By the way, are you the only ones who came?"

The avatar looked at the seven pet beasts.

He knew himself best, and he felt that if possible, he would definitely send others to ascend to the Ancient Immortal Realm. "Pop!!!" The dragon carp nodded.

The pets chattered away.

Soon, the incarnation learned the whole story.

The main strategy is to first send seven of his most powerful pets to support him.

After that, Taoist Zhu Yan, Senior Mo Song, and the Demon Emperor will all come.

We'll come over after we've ensured there's no danger in the Ancient Immortal Realm.

After all, these people are not as powerful as the pets of the Seven Heavenly Emperors, so their ability to help in advance is limited.

"In short, welcome to Earth, and ascend to the Ancient Immortal Realm." After understanding the situation, Lin Jing was overjoyed.

"For you too, it's been a long time since we last met..."

"We intercepted these demons and obtained some spoils of war, which I'll give to you as gifts."

The avatar chuckled and took out the Five Elements Bead, a top-grade immortal artifact that combines five elements into one.

The five demon lords brought a top-grade magic weapon composed of five superior immortal artifacts. Each of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) corresponds to one bead. When the five elements are gathered, they can unleash the power of the top-grade immortal artifact.

This is their strongest trump card...

However, even the best immortal artifacts could not stop the offensive of the Soul Controlling Army and the Heavenly Emperor's legion, because for every immortal general controlled by the Soul Controlling Army who died, another would immediately take his place.

On Lin Jing's side, there was no consumption; to be precise, it was the stone generals who were sacrificed, while he himself did not suffer any loss.

However, on the demon side, the five of them used top-grade immortal artifacts. Each time they used them, they would incur a certain burden. Over time, this burden would diminish, and since this was only their disadvantage against the Soul Controlling Realm, not even taking into account the combat power of their own avatars, Lin Jing naturally won the victory in the end.

In this battle, a total of twenty-three celestial generals perished. They were all guardians of the first level of the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb. Lin Jing was helpless in the face of this, but since they had been dead for so long, their remains could still continue to guard the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, which was a relatively good ending for them.

"Wooden beads, a pine needle mouse, for you."

"Squeak?!" The leaf mouse exclaimed with delight.

"Fire Pearl, Dragon Carp, these are for you."

"Pop?!" The dragon carp's eyes lit up.

"Water droplets, little frog, here you go."

"Croak!" The Heavenly Emperor Frog exclaimed in surprise.

"Golden pearl, mechanical turtle, here you go."

The mechanical turtle nodded.

Its current composition is mostly immortal gold, accounting for more than 90%. With this gold bead, it can be strengthened again.

"Earth Bead, Holy Egg, here you go."

Saint Egg scratched its head, wondering if there was any left for itself.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Please transform Earth's environment into something like the Pangu Continent, where the land contains holy energy that can automatically suppress the demon race."

"..." The Holy Egg looked up at the sky. Having followed the original body for so many years, it almost forgot that the personality and thoughts of the incarnation and the original body were no different.

What looks like a gift is actually a job.

The Ice Soul Gu and Immortal Longevity Crane, who had not received any gifts, looked at their avatars.

The avatar said, "There are only five Five Elements Pearls... Hmm, Ice Soul Gu, Immortal Longevity Crane, and these five Demon Lord remnants, you can repair them... I'll give them to you? They are at least five Immortal Lords at the ninth level of Heaven. They will be very strong after being made into puppets. With the abilities of the two of you, if you work together, you will have five Immortal Lord puppets!"

"It's settled then. Next... let's talk about the dual contract."
