Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 659 The Immortal Realm's Structure
Lin Jing remained silent after listening.

Insect fighting and cockfighting? What kind of playboy hobby is that?

However, it's not a big problem. To other cultivators, it might seem like they're neglecting their duties and wasting their time on trivial pursuits, but to this beast-taming cultivator, isn't this the innate beast-taming holy body?

But gambling on insect fighting and cockfighting is a bad habit, and gamblers will never have a good end.

"Isn't she very talented? Aren't you going to teach her?" Lin Jing asked.

Sect Master Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Her parents died early, and she was born with the Immortal Eye Physique. We raised her ourselves and doted on her like a precious granddaughter, but in the end..."

"They spoil her too much and are unwilling to truly punish her."

Sect Master Wu understood what the other deputy sect master meant. He was reluctant to discipline or punish the child he had personally raised, but he would definitely be able to be ruthless if he entrusted him to an outsider like Lin Jing.

Perhaps, it could be an opportunity for the other person to change.

Most importantly, Lin Jing does seem to have real talent and knowledge. If you follow Lin Jing, you might learn something more interesting and get rid of your bad habits of fighting insects, fighting cocks, and gambling.

"I understand." Lin Jing understood what the three meant and said, "Then I will teach this disciple. Let's make it clear beforehand that I won't be like you. If she is disobedient, I, as her master, will definitely punish her."

The three clasped their fists towards Lin Jing and said, "As long as you are not dead or crippled, you are at your mercy and will accept any punishment from us, fellow Daoist."

"Oh right, I still don't know your name, fellow Daoist." Sect Master Wu suddenly realized that he hadn't asked Lin Jing's name yet.

Lin Jing smiled slightly: "Lin Qi, a mere rogue cultivator."

"Fellow Daoist Lin Qi, from this day forward, you will be the third Vice Sect Master of my Invincible Sect."

The sect leader's name was Wu Zhengxuan, the head of the Wu family and the person with the highest cultivation. The woman's name was Wu Yuehen, and the other old man's name was Wu Mochen.

Lin Jing is arguably the only one who, despite not being a member of the same clan, holds an important position in the Invincible Sect.

"Alas, the environment of the Invincible Sect is simple and crude. We will find a cave dwelling for you immediately. Please do not find it offensive."

"Of course not," Lin Jing said. "What about my disciple?"

“As for Lingxi…” Vice Sect Master Wu Yuehen’s divine sense stirred, his face darkened, and he said, “I haven’t seen her just now. If I’m not mistaken, she must have run away from the sect again and gone to the gambling den in Chiyue City.”

"What a spendthrift!" Wu Mochen sighed. It's fine to gamble, but the problem is that this girl has hardly ever won. The Invincible Sect is not wealthy to begin with, so this is just adding insult to injury.

"Not very smart either." Wu Zhengxuan shook his head. As a person with the Immortal Eyes, he could have made a fortune by choosing betting options, but instead... he chose to gamble on beast fighting, making his Immortal Eyes completely useless.

Of course, this way there's no risk of being caught cheating, and at least you won't get beaten to death.

"It's alright... Crimson Moon City? I'll go find her myself later."

…………

The other party began preparing a cave dwelling for Lin Jing, and Lin Jing's immortal consciousness also began to wander restlessly within the Invincible Sect.

His primary target for invading his divine sense was the library of the Invincible Sect.

It wasn't to steal other people's techniques or supernatural abilities. As the third body that inherited the abilities of seven pet beasts, it had no shortage of supernatural abilities. What he wanted to see was some common knowledge about the immortal realm.

Some of these are miscellaneous books that record the strange tales of the mainland.

Although he had some understanding of the lower realm, he still planned to learn about it again in the immortal realm through multiple channels.

After all, in the lower realm, information is passively received, while in the celestial realm, one can actively explore. The perspective is different, and what one sees will also be different.

"Currently, there are nine Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm."

"The four Immortal Emperors of the human race are the Eastern Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, the Exquisite Emperor, and the Lonely Emperor." "Among them, apart from the Lonely Emperor, who walks alone, the other three Immortal Emperors all possess their own forces."

"The three Immortal Emperors of the Demon Clan: the Lord of Heavenly Demon Mountain, the initiator of the Demon Star Project, the Longevity Empress, the ancestor of the Star Crane Clan, and the Prison Suppressing Immortal Emperor, whose true form is a tortoise. No one knows what it is suppressing in the forbidden zone of the ocean."

"Besides that, there are the Demon Immortal Emperor and the Demon Lord."

"And, the Immortal Emperor of the Bamboo Forest, who attained enlightenment through the Immortal Bamboo."

"And this is the Celestial Emperor in the open."

"The two most recent major battles in the Immortal Realm that involved Immortal Emperors resulted in the deaths of Immortal Emperors."

"One was the Demon Lord who became an Emperor. In order to seize the Demon Lord's Heavenly Treasure, the Immortal Emperor died."

"One is much older. The other three ancient immortal realms have entered the Dharma-ending Age. A group of immortal emperors from other realms wanted to bring people into this immortal realm. The immortal emperors of this realm naturally would not let them pass easily, since the resources of an immortal realm are limited. Therefore, the most tragic battle between immortal emperors began. This time, immortal emperors also died."

"Most of the deceased were immortal emperors from other worlds."

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some Immortal Emperors faked their deaths. After all, killing an Immortal Emperor is not easy. There has always been speculation that some Immortal Emperors did not die, but were secretly recuperating. Therefore, the nine Immortal Emperors are the Immortal Emperors who are currently in the public eye in the Immortal Realm."

"Perhaps there are some reclusive immortal emperors as well."

Lin Jing let out a sigh of relief.

My current goal is to find a way to become one of them!
Of course, given the current level of the third body, one should just focus on cultivating honestly and not think too much about anything else.

There are opportunities in the mortal realm, there are opportunities in the ancient immortal realm, and the immortal realm naturally has its own opportunities.

The third body's mission is to investigate which forces colluded with the demons to invade the ancient Heavenly Court, while also seeking opportunities in the Immortal Realm to strengthen itself and to send enough good things to the original body and the second body.

That kind of thing, even among the nine great immortal emperor lineages, there might not be anything like it.

For example, the Invincible Sect, which may be related to the pioneers of the secret path, could represent an opportunity.

There should be many more such opportunities in the Immortal Realm, which you need to explore on your own.

…………

A few days later.

Crimson Moon City, a city in the celestial realm.

Crimson Moon City can be considered an independent force, but it is actually controlled by a cultivation family called the Crimson Family, which has a Celestial Lord in charge.

The various facilities in Crimson Moon City, such as restaurants, gambling dens, and alchemy pavilions, are mostly owned by the Crimson family. Therefore, it was the right choice for Wu Lingxi not to use her Immortal Eyes to cheat. After all, if she were discovered, the Invincible Sect would not be able to protect her, as the Crimson family is far more powerful than the Invincible Sect.

"Peck it, peck its eyes!!!"

"Quickly, quickly, have you already forgotten the magical abilities I taught you?!"

In the Crimson Moon Gambling House, at the arena, a beautiful young woman commanded a nine-colored rooster at the Nascent Soul stage to fight a fierce battle with another black rooster at the Nascent Soul stage. However, in the end, the nine-colored rooster was pecked all over and fell down severely injured, leaving the young woman with a look of despair.

"Lost again."

"I haven't received a single piece of jade as pocket money this year."

Lin Jing walked into the arena and looked at the spectacular "beast fighting" on the stage. He fell into deep thought. It seemed... not very informative.

However, he was looking at it from the perspective of a beast-taming cultivator. Beast fighting naturally had no nutritional value, but in reality, it was just a game for many spoiled young masters to have fun, and had nothing to do with their own cultivation. The level of raising fighting beasts was naturally inferior to the beast-taming inheritance of the Immortal Palace of the former Immortal Emperor lineage and now the Immortal King lineage...
